Revelation 8:5-13 English Standard Version (ESV)
5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings,[a] flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.
The Seven Trumpets
6 Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.
7 The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.
8 The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. 9 A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
10 The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. 11 The name of the star is Wormwood.[b] A third of the waters became wormwood, and many people died from the water, because it had been made bitter.
12 The fourth angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, and a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of their light might be darkened, and a third of the day might be kept from shining, and likewise a third of the night.
13 Then I looked, and I heard an eagle crying with a loud voice as it flew directly overhead, "Woe, woe, woe to those who dwell on the earth, at the blasts of the other trumpets that the three angels are about to blow!"

Wells Fargo Bank has agreed to pay $1.2 billion to settle federal charges that it wrongfully certified home loans as being eligible for FHA mortgage insurance when it knew that they were not.
The incidents occurred during the period from May 2001 through December 2008 and, in many cases, resulted in the government having to pay FHA claims when the loans defaulted, according to court documents.
"Today, Wells Fargo, one of the biggest mortgage lenders in the world, has been held responsible for years of reckless underwriting, while relying on government insurance to deal with the damage," said Preet Bharara, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York. "Wells Fargo has long taken advantage of the FHA mortgage insurance program, designed to help millions of Americans realize the dream of home ownership, to write thousands and thousands of faulty loans."
Shoddy practices
Bharara said Wells Fargo used "shoddy underwriting practices to drive up loan volume, at the expense of loan quality."
The settlement was approved today by U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman for the Southern District of New York.
"This matter is not just a failure by Wells Fargo to comply with federal requirements in FHA's Direct Endorsement Lender program – it's a failure by one of our trusted participants in the FHA program to demonstrate a commitment to integrity and to ordinary Americans who are trying to fulfill their dreams of homeownership," said HUD Inspector General David A. Montoya.
Also named in the settlement is Kurt Lofrano, a Wells Fargo vice president in charge of credit risk and quality assurance during much of the time in question.

Wrist Worms are wrist warmers/finger less gloves handmade with crochet technique by Sandra Juto in Berlin, Germany. I use high quality yarn; mostly wool, merino wool, alpaca and cotton – all 100% natural materials and no acrylic for sure.
Apart from adding something extra to your outfit, keeping your wrists warm makes your hands stay warm which is ideal in situations when you can't have your fingers trapped in regular gloves, for example when:
Playing an instrument
Going skiing or doing other outdoor sports
Taking pictures
Writing & Drawing
Typing on your computer, offices can be chilly
Riding your wheelchair
Selling stuff at an outdoor market
Taking out a pram for a walk
Using a touchscreen device
Holding that glass of cold deliciousness at that amazing garden party
Sleeping / Reading a book in a chilly room
etc etc
The Wrist Worms also make an excellent gift – giving someone warm hands is highly appreciated.
The Wrist Worms are made in two different sizes; the regular size and the larger size.
Measure your hand at the widest point, see yellow line on illustration above. I wear the regular (small/medium) size and my hand is 8.5cm/3.3″ wide. My husband wears the larger size and his hand is 10cm/3.9″ wide. The Wrist Worms are pretty stretchy and shape themselves to fit your hands after some time.
Every now and then I make Wrist Worms in kids' sizes too and when I do, they are available in the shop.
Please note that it's not possible for me to take orders on special looks, colours or materials.
First of all because I love working with my hands, the slow process is calming and second – because there are no machines for crochet, only for knitting. This is also another reason why I choose to work with crochet technique – I find it so fascinating that there still are things that can only be made by hands.
The story of the brand Wrist Worms started in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 2008 when my husband asked me if I could knit him a pair of finger less gloves. He loves wearing layered outfits and couldn't find what he wanted in the shops. Instead of knitting I chose to try making them with crochet technique and loved the structure it gave to the wrist warmers. I posted a picture (yes, the one to the left) of him wearing them on my blog and that same day I received several emails from people wanting to buy them.
So, I started to do some research. The pattern of the stitches is really simple so first I wanted to see if someone else already was doing it, but I couldn't find anyone. The idea for the name Wrist Worms popped up in my head and after that same research I was ready to release the Wrist Worms and ever since then they have been a big part of my daily work and life.
Thank you so much for visiting!

CollabTalk LLC has partnered with the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University to examine the changing patterns in governance as organizations move from on-premises to the cloud, and the impacts in cost, efficiency, and time from not adequately preparing and adjusting for these changes. A survey has been launched at https://bit.ly/O365governance that focuses on creating a baseline for governance "readiness" by assessing overall readiness. Many of these questions were developed from the SharePoint Governance Maturity Model (SPGMM). This independent research is being sponsored by Microsoft, Spanning, Rencore, and tyGraph, with in-kind support from Collab365, ShareThePoint, SPTechCon, and SharePointFest.
Governance has long been an important topic within the enterprise, yet most governance strategies were developed while systems and tools were largely deployed on-premises. However, the tools and solutions used and the processed follow on server-based technology may not be valid in a cloud, or even a hybrid model. Our intent is to document the current state of governance within organizations that use Office 365, outline Microsoft and industry guidance, and identify the gaps between them, including the cost and risk impacts.
The final research will be made available to the public in Q3 of 2018.
Conducted in partnership with the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, our research efforts include a wide range of global business research tools, including Qualtrics survey and post-analysis tools, Bloomberg terminals, Geo-Spatial Software and Data, and access to more than 400 databases including LexisNexis Academic, Factiva, ProQuest, BizMiner, Morningstar, IBIS World, Mergent Online, ORBIS, GuideStar, EBSCO, EDGAR, Wharton Research Data Services, Mint Global, S&P NetAdvatnage, and more.
Each CollabTalk research project follows a phased approach:
- Phase 1-Primary Research: Conduct surveys, interviews, panels and other methods to assess current state, strategies implemented, and effectiveness of those actions.
- Phase 2-Secondary Research: Identify existing industry research and analysis, thought-leadership, and statistical models.
- Phase 3-Industry Expert Review: Conduct one-on-one and panel interviews with a panel of industry experts, consultants, and influencers.
- Phase 4-Analysis and Recommendations: Distill insights and findings, and make recommendations in the form of a final research paper, including data models and other supporting material.
If you would like more information about CollabTalk research services, or have questions about co-sponsoring a current research project, please contact Christian Buckley at firstname.lastname@example.com
And be sure to complete the current survey!

Summers are usually a time for a break from the fast pace of work. Families go on vacation, children are off from school and staff members get to take their well-earned vacations. But not everyone uses the summer months to take their foot off the pedal.
This summer, rising senior Kassidi Jones, poet and activist, attended the Callaloo Creative Writing Workshop at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. The Callaloo Workshop offers sessions in poetry and fiction writing to new and emerging writers from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and the Caribbean.
Kassidi also spent time this summer conducting research for her senior honors thesis in English on poetry written by Black women during Reconstruction, reading books and articles and visiting archives to try to uncover the names of the women who were publishing poetry from 1866 to 1877.
This year, she plans to finish writing 2 books: a children's book, which is part of a larger series, and a manuscript of poems. She is also scheduled to graduate this May, so it is safe to say she has her hands full.
What is the Callaloo workshop?
It's a 2-week long program for poets, non-fiction and fiction writers to work with seasoned professionals. They train you on technique and edit your work. I was in the poetry section. There were two workshop leaders for poetry: Vievee Francis and Greg Pardlow. They really dug into our work for those two weeks.
Calloloo is a journal that publishes a variety of works. It started as a journal just for southern writers but then was expanded to include the African Diaspora, and then they added the workshop. In any case, I knew of the journal first and then saw that they had the workshop, so I applied.
What got you interested in poetry?
I started writing poems in second grade because I forgot a Mother's Day gift, so I wrote my mom a poem instead and she really liked it. I've continued to write ever since I learned the power of words, but I didn't start performing until college, when I joined the Excelano Project, which is Penn's spoken word poetry group. I've been with Excelano since freshmen year and I'm the president now.
What made you want to transition from writing to performing?
I wanted to perform earlier than I did, but I was really insecure about sharing my work, and also in high school, I didn't have anyone to write with so everything I wrote just stayed with me. But in college when I learned about Excelano, there were people to edit my poems and help make me a better poet, which made me more confident in my poetry and then I was ready to share.
Do current events affect your poetry?
They definitely do. I don't really write to cope with things, but I write to figure out how I'm feeling about certain situations, so it's more about diagnosis. And I know everyone in Excelano, we were all really affected by the election. Everyone reacted in a different way, but everyone had a strong reaction. So, our fall show last year organically turned into a response to the way the world is. I'm pretty sure (this is turning into an Excelano interview, but I love it so much!) we all write because we know we have a gift with words, and so we can articulate things other people may be experiencing but aren't sure how to express to others, so we try to call everyone into the space when we write and we write for everyone.
Are there certain poets or writers that influence your poetry?
Well, my favorite poet is Audre Lorde, who helps me get more personal in poems. One issue that I have is writing about big current events. I feel distant from it. I distance myself from the poem, so I don't feel so vulnerable when I'm talking about big things everyone can relate to. It's safer. But with poets like Audre Lorde, there is no distance. It's more vulnerable and is also what the Callaloo workshop is teaching me to do.
Dr. Beavers (Herman Beavers, Professor of English and Africana Studies) has influenced my writing because my first official poetry workshop was Dr. Beavers' class, and also because I enjoy reading his stuff. And a lot of spoken word artists like Cortney Lamar Charleston (C'12 W'12) and Joshua Bennett (C'10), who both went to Penn. And they were also in Excelano. So, yes, big ups to them.
What do you plan on doing with your poetry in the future, after you leave Penn?
I definitely want to be a published poet soon. I've had several manuscripts for a while now, but it feels like the kind of writer that I am is changing a lot, especially after the Callaloo workshop, so I've had to restart a few times. I am starting a new manuscript now. I need to get published in some journals first, but I'd like to build my body of work before I start sending poems out and yes, I'm trying to get milk and honey famous.
What was your favorite part of the Callaloo workshop?
The best part of the Callaloo workshop was bonding with my cohort. The poets in my group were not only extraordinary writers, but also extraordinary people. Their care for my craft and for my well-being really carried me through. We're still friends now. We edit each other's work, but we also just check in with each other, laugh with each other. It's really sweet.
When you write, do you have a specific goal for different pieces, or is there one broad goal?
Right now, my goal is to be as honest with myself as I can, so I'm not really thinking about anybody else. My poems used to be for everyone, but right now I'm really trying to be open, vulnerable, figure things out that are happening internally. That's the goal. Be as personal as possible. Leave it all on the page.
How has being at Penn helped your poetry and, more specifically, how has majoring in Africana Studies helped?
Penn gave me the Excelano project, so that's the biggest thing. That was the greatest gift because those people are like a family to me. But Africana Studies, first, has given me space to write. And material. When I took Dr. Sanders Johnson's (Grace L. Sanders Johnson, Assistant Professor of Africana Studies) class, AFRC 387, Topics in Africana Studies, I was learning themes and materials and people and histories that I never encountered before and that inspired a lot of writing. And the Center for Africana Studies provided travel funding for me to attend the Callaloo workshop. Africana Studies has always been supportive about the things I do, but I really appreciate the support I get as a writer. Penn is really pretty pre-professional and I don't always feel as though people who want to explore humanities, especially people who want to be writers, especially creative writers, have the most support, but Africana definitely gave me all the support that I needed. The guidance I've gotten from Dr. Beavers as a poet, specifically, has been so helpful.
How would you explain poetry to the unitiated? What poems would you suggest they read?
Sometimes poetry is inaccessible, which is why the shorter, more pithy poetry like Nayyirah Waheed, Warsan Shire and Rupi Kaur, try to explain universal feelings in a way that a wider audience can digest. There are poems for everybody. Spoken word is also more accessible than page poetry sometimes, so if you go on YouTube and watch Button Poetry or watch the Brave New Voices videos that just came out, those poems are usually more direct, and it's easier to figure out what emotion is in the poem when you're watching someone perform it.
Kassidi is a senior, double majoring in English and Africana Studies. Check out her website here.

Callaloo, the premier literary and cultural journal of the African Diaspora, was founded by current editor Charles H. Rowell in 1976 at Southern University. The Callaloo Creative Writing Workshop was founded in 1997.

To celebrate J's new job, we decided to cross another item off of our bucket list and jet to Seattle. We lived like kings for 2.5 days in the Emerald City, eating whenever we were hungry (often) and pretty much walking everywhere in between. It rained for most of the time we were there, but on our last day we were lucky enough to get some blue sky and sun.
An Amateur New Year
This winter I went home to California for two straight weeks. Like the obsessive planner that I am, I made a Google doc spreadsheet to make sure that my holiday time was optimally maximized for seeing family and friends, eating incredible food, and restoring my body from the brutal end-of-year work dump.
Birthdays in the City
Thus continues my once-monthly updating streak, but since I'm on a crazy productivity kick this week, here goes!
The Grand Canyon
We flew into Las Vegas and stayed a couple of days before driving to the Grand Canyon. We stayed at the Yavapai Lodge, which was lovely and oh-so-convenient. Let me tell you, the Grand Canyon is better than you can imagine. Going into this trip I assumed I was more or less prepared. After all, I have seen so. many. images of the Grand Canyon — desktop wallpapers, inspirational posters, travel brochures, the works. Still, nothing can capture the full experience of standing at ground level (albeit at a pretty high elevation) and looking a mile down a sheer drop. My brain still cannot wrap itself around the magnitude of what I saw.
Happy Friday! You made it to the weekend! High five!
A Day Trip to Jones Beach: Travelogue and Budget Itinerary
With a week to go before I started working, I decided to make the most of my final free weekdays. AX agreed to accompany me on any adventures since he is also trying to live up his days as a freelancing photographer. Since he has a car, this of course meant that we would be getting out of the city. We finally settled on Jones Beach, a place we had both heard good things about but had never been to.
A Queens Exploration Day: Flushing Meadows Corona Park
One of my biggest struggles and subject of constant obsession is to think of new ways to convince my Manhattan-dwelling friends to visit me in Queens. Sure, it's no 15-minute ride to my apartment but it's not like I live in another state. But I do get it. Manhattan offers so many diversions. When I was in college I'm pretty sure I only made it off of the island a handful of times in four years. When you live in Manhattan you just don't get why anyone would want to be anywhere else. You're wearing "city blinders."
A Weekend of Museums, Whales, Burgers, and Brews
A lover of all things whale, I knew that I had to check out the Whales: Giants of the Deep exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. I could not miss out on this. LK and I made plans to meet up at noon over the weekend, hoping that it would be early enough to avoid the rush of post-lunch, sugar-high kiddies. I arrived a little early, but as I came out of the subway I received at text from LK informing me that she was running late.

My Photography: Cycling to The South
I have this little tradition that I did every Christmas for the past 3 years. I take my bicycle and taking the long road.
Where to? I don't know. I choose random road every time. You know, like that thing said in National Geographic:
"Let's get lost."
For this year Christmas, my choice of the long road is to the south of Yogyakarta City. Going south means I will end up in Parangkritis beach. From my place to the beach it's around 35 km and it gonna take around 3 hours ride with a bicycle. From there, I'll think about it later on.
The Bicycle
Because it's a long travel, of course, I need a lot of preparation. Which I did on the Christmas eve.
The good thing is my bicycle is a touring bike. That means there 2 panniers on front and back; and also a big bag on the back of the bicycle. So I put all the necessary stuff. Food (bread), water (2 bottles), charger, and some bike tools (pump, Allen key, lock plier, and knife) in chase of something happen to my bicycle. All stuffed in the bag.
Of course, I also packed my camera gears. Just the usual stuff, Sony A58 with Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO, Sony A6000 with Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Lens, Nisi 15 Stop Super Stopper and remote shutter. All in my Lowepro Passport Sling III, which then I put in the bicycle's bag. Also my Sirui T-2204X tripod, which I strapped on the front pannier of my bicycle.
So there's the preparation for the next day.
The Long Road
I know it gonna be a long road when I start preparing my bicycle, and so I must go out as early as possible. I already awoke 02:00 AM and began cycling around 04:30 AM. What I forgot at the time that I live in the far north of the city and because of that, it took me almost an hour to reach the south end of the city. When the I reach the south side of Yogyakarta, the sun already rises.
But I already expected something gone off the plan (since I'm a sloppy person). So it doesn't really matter to me.
So there I was at the end of the city and taking the straight road to the south. I stopped once in a while to take a breather. I also take a look around, wondering if there anything good to photography. Since I was in the countryside. And I did find some. And so I also stopped few times to take some landscape photography. which I think will look good.
I kinda circling around and because of that, it took me until around 08:00 AM to reach the Parangkritis Beach.
But I didn't actually go to the beach. No sir, I took a detour.
Also Read: My Photography: Jakarta National Monument Panorama
The Detour
I arrived at the front gate of the beach. But before I went to the beach, I want to eat something first. Since I haven't eaten anything. There, at the diner (you can call it a diner, I'm not sure though) I met a group of cyclist. It seems it's a common place for a cyclist to eat. So I joint them since I all by myself. We had a few conversation and basically ended up with this talk:
"Where are you going?" Asked one of them.
"Well, the plan was to go the beach. And who knows where else." I answered.
"Then why don't join us." One of them offered.
"Huh!? Ehhhh…Okay." I just said yes.
At first, it sounds like a good plan. It's not like I actually have a plan of where I want to photograph. Silly me, I should ask first where we were headed.
What I didn't realize half-way through there is that I was going to Paralayang Parangkritis. I thought it's another beach, but actually a hill.
I'm going uphill using a bicycle, a bicycle with around 6 kg of stuff on the back. So on the way, I have to get off my bicycle, walk, and push my bicycle uphill. And I can tell you, its heavy. Damn heavy.
The good thing I'm not alone. I'm with the group of cyclist that I just met that morning. They even gave me food.
After the hard work, I finally get to Paralayang Parangkritis.
Beautiful view. From there, I can see the entire south of Yogyakarta. Beach, sea, and the countryside. And obviously, I took some photos.
Paralayang Parangkritis
Since I'm on the hill, obviously I took landscape photography. The problem is to find a good composition, which was difficult. Using my Sony A58 with Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD Aspherical [IF] MACRO, I took a variety of shots. Some with maximum focal length (I zoom in).
What I learned that day is taking a photo with my lens in high focal length (80-200mm) with 15 stops ND filter will never work. I tried everything to keep my camera stable and still. But no matter what every time I took a 15 stops long exposure photography, the photo ended up blurry.
My theory is because zooming in cause the lens less stable. If I just take a photo in at least 1/60 sec, it wouldn't a problem. But if I take a photo in more than 10 seconds, it won't work. I assume the solution for this problem is by changing my lens with an actual telephoto lens, which I don't have. So I gave up on long exposure and instead only use the CPL filter.
And here what I took:
After that, I just sat there up to around 12:30 PM. Don't know where to go. So I decided to go to the beach. Which again, didn't go exactly as plan.

Wrong Turn
Going downhill wasn't that easy as I thought it would be. It scary actually. But I manage.
And so I cycling in the scorching day. But first I stop by the convenient store and bought an ice cream. Then rode again to the beach. But I took the wrong turn and ended up on the wrong Beach.
Instead of Parangkritis Beach, I ended up at Depok Beach, 6 km to the west of Parangkritis beach. But whatever, a beach is a beach.
Depok Beach
Once again I took out my camera gears and set it up to take some photo. The problem is the sun is up above the head and there's only a few good composition that I could found. And a shot took me a lot of time. A mean seriously, it took me more than 2 hours. I wasn't moving, just standing there, alone, didn't move at all.
And here a few shots that I got:
It's 03:00 PM and I know I have to head back home.
A Long Way Home
It took me almost two and a half hours to get to the city. I make a lot of stops along the way. Because I simply tired. I just wish I can just lay down. Which I did the moment I got to Alun-Alun Selatan. Not exactly home, but I just can't go anymore.
I lay down for almost an hour while watching the sunset.
And I get back home. To post-processing my photo.
On the second thought, I did it the next day.
My Photography: Cycling to The South:
The Result
The next day, I started to check back my photos, choose the best one, and did post-processing. I used Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC, Adobe Photoshop CC, and Google Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 for this photography. I also use Wacom Intuos Pro Small pen tablet.
And here the results:
Unlike the usual, this time I wanted to post-processing my photos in color. Since its a nature landscape photography. But the problem is this: I have two basic principal of a good landscape photography, especially as a color photography, lighting, and composition.
The priority is the lighting. If the light is bad, I wouldn't bother to try. Since most of my photos were taken around midday, that means the sun is already above the head, which means it wasn't a good lighting.
But there's one that has good lighting because it was taken in the morning (around 07:00 AM):
There's more photo that I haven't processed yet. There also some photos that I choose to leave for. Because I haven't got any inspiration.
That's it for my photography: Cycling to the south.

At a Glance
Name: Mountain Grove School District
City: Mountain Grove
State: MO
Student Population: 1400
Interesting Fact: The Mountain Grove School utilizes a diversity of Linux solutions to keep up with their mission of inspiring the students to become creative thinkers.
Mountain Grove School District's mission is to prepare their students to become successful, life-long learners. The school believes that the students should be inspired, creative, and challenged to think outside of the box.
The district's IT networking equipment was aged and performed below expectations. The school was looking to implement new equipment to upgrade a part of their network. This was necessary for delivering a smooth digital learning experience in the classrooms.
Richard Nelson, the Technology Director, had dealt with CDI earlier for all of the school's IT needs. The school had a positive and trustworthy relationship with the company.
When contacted by the school, CDI presented a proposal for upgrading the school's networking equipment. A Gigabit Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Layer 2 HP 1810-24G switch was installed in the school's building. The switch with its intuitive web interface allowed for easy management and administration of the school network. The latest energy-saving capabilities including Energy Efficient Ethernet (IEEE) and idle-port power down made it ideal to be installed in the school premises.
Looking Ahead
The school is looking to partner with CDI to make a steady migration of all their IT equipment in order to keep up to date with the modern-day technology.
"Partnering with CDI was but natural as we have always had a splendid experience with the company's computers and IT equipment as well as the services of an excellent sales rep."
Mr. Richard Nelson, Technology Director at the Mountain Grove Schools.

Do you ever feel like people in your life are trying to plow you over with guilt trips?

This guy is a total loon, i've said it for years
What the Hell Happens Five Minutes Into This Richard Dawkins Speech?
I have this sudden urge to kill the prime minister of Malaysia.
I loved it I loved it I loved it. It's like if Ke$ha and Skrillex and Charles Darwin had a baby and their selfish genes mixed into all sorts of goodness. That is the closest I have ever been to having a religious experience.
Nothing like a surprise acid trip in the middle of a biology lecture.
First, this blew my mind. Then it blew my mind.
What a goddamned genius. Baller as fuck.
Lol that hotdog.
what the…
"I'd rather spread memes than genes anyway"….. Forever Alone…
I'm worried that Dawkins will utter a secret code phrase and we'll all go into a trance and kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia.
He's lost it.
possibly one of the best video ever
what the fucking fuck is this bullshit
This is great contemporary art
I'm pretty sure that video proved the existence of god somehow.
I is muffin dreamfactor in the recoils of jellied and nubbie hats.
First I saw colors, then I saw God, and then it all broke when Dawkins started to play the beginning of FF VII's Main Theme~World Map Theme 1.
dafuq did i just watch
Finally. He had just evolved into Timothy Leary…
memes memes memes memes genes genes genes genes
Telling Richard Dawkins how "memes work", That's like telling Einstein how relativity works
I loved it. Richard is a scientist with every breath, describing the phenomenon of genetic and memetic evolution and replication. Well done, if some people are angry at watching this, you have done your job.
This is the craziest piece of science since the flux capacitor.
Dawkin's is an arrogant tit, cringeworthy.
hahahahah what trash
almost as boring as ted talks
WHAT IN THE FUCK! AHAHAHA oh this is hilarious! I may have not been a big fan of Dawkins but motherfucker knows how to make you say "What the fuck" and still laugh! xD
I heard Richard Dawkins punched Nigella Lawson in the ovaries
It's like my dad learned After Effects and tried to be trendy. Kill me now.
This is life changing.
Richard Dawkins has lost his damn mind. He's become Beyonce at the Super Bowl.
i would pay to watch dawkins spread his genes all over a hooker tits
dude wtf
Terrorists are gay.
Wow!! Still not as crazy as religion…
5:00 onwards – best thing I have seen all year.

I've never seen anything so Nathan Barley in my life.
I'm going back to religion.
Let's see God do that.
MEMES = GENES – Wake up sheeple!
yep… didn't see that coming
This kind of reminds me of my grandpa trying to appeal to me when I was young by imitating my speech patterns. This is two parts hilarious, two parts adorable, three parts awesome, and one part face-palm
I am so confused, I literally have no idea what I just saw… But with out a doubt this is THE GREATEST THING ON YOUTUBE I HAVE EVER SEEN! I would gladly give this video all of my fucks XD
Reminded me of one of my salvia trips.
What the actual fuck just happened?
You just won youtube

I'm a bit late to the party, but for the record John Roberts whining that it's somehow "very troubling" for the President to criticize a 5–4 decision of the Supreme Court is absurd. Obviously Roberts and the other judges on the majority knew when they issued their opinion that it was going to be controversial — that's why they could only get five votes. They knew, moreover, that the particular 5–4 split their decision was going to provoke was the family left-right division on the Court. Had John Kerry won the 2004 election, the decision would have gone the other way.
Clearly the court's right-wing is entitled to make 5–4 rulings that make progressives, including the President of the United States, angry. They have the votes. But the price of issuing those kind of rulings, is that they get criticized.
One reason why Chief Justices sometimes strive extra-hard to produce moderate rulings that can secure overwhelming majorities is precisely because they sometimes try to avoid this kind of situation. But Roberts is comfortable with issuing narrow, partisan opinions on the basis of a narrow 5–4 majority, just as his predecessor was. Which is fine if that's how he wants to play it. But people are going to be mad! They'll say mean things about him! That's life.

Molybdenum proteins
Molybdenum Proteins catalyze the decrease of nitrate and nitrogen, together with the absorption of aldehydes, purines, along with sulfite. Nitrogenizes, which likewise contain iron, which are the target of intensive investigations by bioinorganic chemists and biologists; that the iron lies at a group with molybdenum (also the molybdenum factor, or Feck) and also at a sulfur middle curiously, specified microorganisms possess substitute nitrogenizes, that can be developed when molybdenum is impeded and that comprise vanadium and iron or even iron.
Several Mo proteins consist of extra co factors like the Havens, e.g., in xanthine oxidase and aldehyde oxidase. The quantity of all redox centers in several Mo proteins conquers the range of magnets moved; grounds for that are as yet not known now.
Iron could be actually the most rich transition section from the planet's crust also, generally speaking, in most of life forms. An overview of this supply of iron from the planet's crust has been displayed. As could be viewed, nearly one third of this planet's mass is anticipated to have iron and amino acids.
Needless to say, just the planet's crust is most important for everyday life varieties, however there it could be by far the most rich transition part. Its focus is somewhat saturated in the majority of crustal stones (smallest in stone (which will be less or more pure potassium carbonate). At the seas, that contain 70 per cent of this planet's area, the focus of iron is lower but also rises in thickness, as this iron is present since frozen particulate issue in the place of the usual soluble species. Iron can be just a limiting variable in plankton development, and also the affluent fisheries related to strong up welling of ocean forks lead at least a portion in the biological increase granted with those iron provides.
Properties which dominate the transportation behavior of the majority of transition metal ions really are:
- Redox chemistry
- Hydrolysis
- Solubility
For example an Instance of this consequences of solubility, think about the monumental variation from the Focus of iron within rivers, based on if the Water really is in an obvious Mountain flow rushing over stone and also a muddy river transporting big levels of sediment. On the other hand, the sum of iron from the sort of complimentary ferric ion Or its hydrolysis goods, regardless of what the foundation of drinking water, is excessively lower.

Swimming Health Benefits
Swimming is a fun activity, especially in the warm seasons or climates – but it also have a lot of benefits for health. Let's discover these benefits together!
Swimming Workouts
Even though swimming is not innate in human beings, we love to enjoy it. There are lots of swimming practices, but those that are recognized in the international competitions are the backstroke, front crawl, breaststroke and butterfly. However, if you are not engaging in any sports, you should probably know how swimming benefits your health.
First of all, swimming is one of the best fitness workouts that affect all of the muscle groups, which means that it is one of the best ways to tone up. Water requires more effort from the swimmer, because of the resistance – thus the more calories are burnt. Swimming is both a cardiovascular and a strength workout, so it affects your body in both ways.
If you have the joint problem, swimming can also help with that, because water would not affect the joints. While working out in the swimming pool you can lose up to 800 calories! However the actual amount of burnt calories would depend on your weight, metabolism and intensity of your workout.
The key in swimming workouts is the interval training, which means that you work hard, then slow down and then increase the pace again. When starting the workout, make sure that you do a warm up to stretch out the muscles. The warm up can also be done in the swimming pool. It is best to work out in the morning, as there are a lot of additional benefits to that.
However, there are several drawbacks in the swimming workouts. Muscle cramps can occur, which would cause a person to go down and drown. One of the major things to concentrate on while swimming is the breathing. So, when swimming take into consideration these factors and enjoy your workout!

Fast Company published a great little article about how to be unforgettable. Here were a few fun tips: 1. Really listen. Interesting people are interested. 2. Follow up. Don't forget. Everyone forgets to follow up. 3. Wear a signature item. David Ogilvy used to wear a kilt to work. "If you can't be brilliant, at least be memorable," he said. 4. Tell a compelling story. Think Harlem Globetrotters. They have over a million fans on social media, the highest merchandise sales in their history, and they have set more than 50 attendance records. All thanks to the man in charge of their narrative, Brett Meister. Read the … Read More
Personal Brand Makeover. Is it for you?
Now Reading | What It's Like to get a Personal Brand Makeover by Personal Brand Consultants http://m.fastcompany.com/…/i-got-a-personal-brand-makeover-… This was a great little article in Fast Company by Chris Gayomali that I discovered this weekend. Here are some of his remarks as he approached the exercise with good humor: Leland's analysis starts before she reads a single tweet, with my avatar. "Your Twitter is a freaking cat holding his hand up!" she said. "You're part teenager, part accomplished journalist." Leland asked that I not reveal the specifics regarding her process. But I can relay a few of the the tips and tricks that she and my other coach, … Read More

This past weekend, we headed up Petit Jean mountain in Morrilton, Arkansas, to spend the weekend with our friends, Hannah and Steele. They live far away, but they were home for the holidays, so we got to steal them from their family for the weekend.
We headed up Friday afternoon, and we were VERY excited and happy about how beautiful the cabin looked. There were two sleeping areas and a large living/kitchen, along with a good sized bathroom. Everything had a rustic feel, but the amenities were modern. There was also a lovely porch, grill, picnic area and hammock.
Hannah and I decided quickly that it was champagne time! We also unloaded the HUGE amount of food that we brought along with us.
We had a few drinks and played BANG! Which was REALLY fun. We also started prepping for dinner, which were fajitas!
The pineapple black bean salsa went over REALLY well. We actually snagged a can of corn at Kroger on the way up the mountain and added it to the recipe. I think onions, zucchini and peppers were the common running theme of all of our meals the entire weekend. Yum!
The next morning, we threw the leftover portabellos, onions and peppers into a pan with the pre-made tofu scramble and BAM! we had breakfast burritos! Pre-making the tofu scramble was a HUGE help. I will do that every time I travel.
It was a really beautiful hike. I was a little nervous, because I broke my leg 2 years ago backpacking in Arkansas, so hiking downhill is hard mentally for me. However, I got over it and had a really wonderful time! I highly recommend this hike if you're in the area.
When we got back, we were pretty hungry, so it was portabello burger time!! We had my warm potato salad and quinoa salad. These recipes need a little work, I think. It was still pretty good, though.
The next morning, we just ate up the rest of the food we had, which for me was another round of tofu scramble! We were sad to leave the cabin. It really was a great place to stay.
Hannah and I had a bottle of champagne left, so that sounded like a perfectly good breakfast. On our way off the mountain, we stopped at a beautiful overlook and took a walk around.
Arkansas has so much natural beauty. A lot of times, I get caught up with living in a place that isn't very progressive on a lot of my life views, but there are some redeeming factors in the state.
Wonderful weekend, and we miss our friends already! Hopefully, we will get to come back next year!

Brown Recluse Spider Venom Toxicosis in Cats
The brown recluse spider is a member of the genus Loxosceles reclusa. It is generally found in the Midwest section of the U.S. - west to Colorado and New Mexico, and east to Northern Georgia, and throughout the southern U.S. and up the Mississippi River valley to southern Wisconsin. The brown recluse is also known as the "fiddle-back," or "violin" spider on account of the violin-shaped pattern on its cephalothorax (the upper portion of the body where the legs connect), with the neck of the "fiddle" extending toward the tail. Not all recluses have this marking. For example, young brown recluse's often do not. Generally, this is an accurate method for recognizing them. It can also be distinguished by its pattern of six eyes, rather than three, and a lack of any other patterning on its body, There are no marking on the abdomen or legs, only on the cephalothorax. It measures about 8–15 mm in body size, with longish legs around 2–3 cm long.
As the name suggests, the brown recluse is a reclusive, non-aggressive spider, preferring dark and uninhabited spaces away from humans and animals. They are active at night. Bites usually occur when the spider becomes trapped in bedding while it is out prowling, and an animal or human rolls over on the spider. It also tends to occur when an animal unintentionally disturbs the spider in its space.
The bite from a recluse can be classified by its necrotizing nature. Reaction typically occurs at the site of the bite, with an ulcerated necrotic wound that results in the death of the surrounding soft tissue. The wound is slow to heal, leaving an open wound that is at risk of further infection. Serious complications occur when the ulcer progresses to gangrene, or when the venom enters the blood stream and is carried to the internal organs. Destruction of red cells, renal failure, coagulation disruption, and death are all possible known complications of a recluse bite. These complications are rare but have been known to occur.
Cats may be at higher risk because of their tendency to crawl into small dark space. If you live in an area that is known for being populated with brown recluse spiders, and your cat has a wound with symptoms that are similar to those described here, you may want to ask your doctor to test your cat specifically for the presence of brown recluse venom.
Symptoms and Types
- May be no symptoms
- Local pain and stinging (may last 6–8 hours), followed by itching and soreness
- Lesion - white with a dark central scab on an uneven red background; after 2–5 weeks a central scab may slough, leaving a deep, slow healing ulcer that usually kills soft tissue while sparing muscle tissue
- Less common - anemia with bloody urine in the first 24 hours
- Other possible systemic manifestations within the first 2–3 days after the bite – fever, chills, rash, weakness, rapid growth of white blood cells, nausea, joint pain
Brown recluse spider bite.
You will need to give a thorough history of your cat's health and onset of symptoms. The bite from a brown recluse can mimic other types of wounds, so your veterinarian will look for a wide range of possible causes for the symptoms unless you saw the spider that bit your pet. As part of a standard examination, a blood profile will be conducted, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, and a urinalysis. A blood test will reveal much of the information your doctor needs to make an accurate diagnosis. A coagulation profile may also be conducted to check your cat's blood clotting ability. If you live in an area that is known for having brown recluse spiders, you might ask your doctor to check for the presence of venom in your cat's blood stream. An enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, or ELISA test can be used to detect the venom, but this is not commonly used unless a brown recluse bite is specifically suspected.
The venom from a brown recluse has the potential to cause serious harm. In some cases, the necrotizing spreads, causing tissue death to the degree that the entire limb will need to be removed. The faster this is diagnosed, the better chance you will have of preventing complications.

Is b-to-b marketing moving to post modern era?
- pre modern: magic, superstition
- modern: industrial revolution, constant change in the pursuit of progress
- post modern: all logic is confining… constant change is status quo
- pre modern: magical, great leaps of faith
- modern: scientific, constant change in pursuit of progress; technology and analytics
- post modern: rejection of Spock's logic and earning for Kirk's passion; Spock + Kirk, or Mad man + Mad Scientist
The result is "post modern magic" – a combination of emotions and measurement.
Examples of the approach – "a field trip to Mars" – a new technology is presented in a very inspiring way, in a very "human" application, easy to understand and connect.
Another example "be the bean" – demonstration of food processing equipment from "the point of view" of a bean in full-blown virtual reality experience. The effort generated 50% of the demand gen goal.
Advertising Age described the campaign in more details.
"From a visual standpoint, this is so radically different from anything in the market, in the competitive set and at Pack Expo," Mr. Ruby said. "They gave us permission to let this be awesome. We were allowed to be proud and go bold."
Ms. Funk added, "Our industry tends to be very conservative and not highly creative when it comes to marketing. In the trade pubs, the ads are kind of catalog-like — a lot of stainless steel equipment and pictures of food processed in that equipment. We really wanted to step outside the box with this campaign."
Next presentation continued the topic of brands capitalizing on human needs and connecting these needs to brand's positioning.
Norton (digital security) – RFID-Blocking Jeans and Blazer
Volvo (safety) – Life Paint designed to help cyclists to be noticed on the road
"Marketing as a service – marketing so good, people will pay for it"
I think ABM presentation can also be connected to post modern marketing. We, as an industry, measured results, and discovered that our efforts are not that effective. We also discovered that we can generate interest from the prospects that are not targeted by sales. ABM is solving this problem: it connects sales and marketing (defining accounts targeted), it measures marketing outcomes and business outcomes (rather than activity metrics), from another side, it does pay attention to the activity in general for the targeted accounts and uses combination of marketing tactics, often designed to inspire target audience, in concert.
Marketing is definitely changing, change is constant, and our "target audience" are "feeling machines" rather than rational beings that we sometimes tend to believe 🙂
