One of the three compressors at the Noord-Holland compressor station in Anna Paulowna is seriously damaged due to a technical problem and is therefore unavailable for compression. At this moment BBL Company is, together with the supplier of the compressor, investigating the cause of the failure and the actions to be taken. The repair time will most probably stretch over a longer period of time.
BBL Company emphasizes that the capacity of the two remaining units is sufficient to meet the contractual obligations, but without the usual spare capacity.
We will keep you informed via our website.

When I was a kid (and spoiler alert: as an adult), I disliked sleepovers mostly for one reason: the morning after.
Sure, everything's all fun and games in the evening. You arrive after having eaten dinner so you're fat and happy, and you spend the night playing games or telling jokes or, if you're old now like me, watching Ghost Adventures with your boyfriend while daydreaming about caramel sundaes. Everything's dandy.
But then you wake up and life slaps you in the face hard. There's never ANYTHING to eat for breakfast.
I swear, I must choose significant others and friends who are aliens and who come from alien families who purposefully are trying to defy all logic by avoiding breakfast food purchases.
At my BFF's house, she'd sleep in until noon, which is disgusting and basically a travesty on humanity, and when she finally woke up, I'd been rummaging through her pantry for the past six hours, trying desperately to find any sustenance that wasn't red pepper flakes or cornmeal which were the only things her parents seemed to stockpile.
Occasionally, there'd be a lone box of Raisin Bran in the back corner, probably with an expiration date older than time itself, and who honestly enjoys Raisin Bran anyways? It was like a cruel joke laughing cobwebs of stale crap cereal in my hungry face. As if they bought Raisin Bran just for looks so when people rummage through our pantry, we can appear to be well-rounded and nutritious with our breakfast choices.
Likewise at my boyfriend's house. I'm sorry, but maybe I'm used to overspending at the grocery store and constantly having a multitude of breakfast choices around: Yogurt with granola. Jam and toast. Cereal. Toaster strudels. Eggs. But when I stayed over at Jessie's one night and the next morning, had the brilliant-girlfriend intention of making my boyfriend breakfast in bed, I was sadly slapped in the face of breakfast-hatin' reality: his family doesn't believe in breakfast.
They had more batteries in the fridge than eggs. BATTERIES, people. Batteries aren't even supposed to BE in the fridge!!
After contemplating making a battery acid smoothie for breakfast but sadly discovering there was no fresh fruit, nor yogurt or juice to make aforementioned suismoothie, I cried in a heap until he finally took me to McDonald's. Usually, crying in a heap results in an Egg McMuffin–you should try it sometime. Manipulation tastes strangely like egg and cheese biscuit sandwiches, just sayin'.
Anyways, while I am a firm believer in eating breakfast, most people aren't. I'm here today to change that. While donuts and pie aren't typically "nutritious" breakfast fare, they are certainly more qualified as breakfast than cold batteries, yeah? And they're baked in the most glorious bread pudding of your LIFE.
I'd say that's pretty healthy.
Donut Bread Pudding Pie *inspired + adapted from Dorothy's Pumpkin Bread Pudding Pie recipe and Cakespy's Gingerbread Pudding recipe (in her book)
1 refrigerated pie crust (or a homemade pie crust)
3 cups cubed yeast or cake doughnut holes (just avoid frosted or powdered varieties)
2 eggs
2 cups heavy cream or eggnog
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
3 Tablespoons cold butter, cubed
1. Liberally grease a 9″ pie plate with cooking spray and gently lay your pie crust inside the pie plate. Flute edges with your fingers, if desired.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the heavy cream or eggnog, the vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and combine. Gently fold the cubed donut holes into the wet mixture to coat. Pour the mixture into the pie plate and allow to sit while your oven preheats to 350 degrees F.
3. Once the oven's hot, place the pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet (to catch drips). Gently place a pie shield along the edges of your pie (or carefully tent crust with aluminum foil) and bake the bread pudding pie for approx. 30 minutes.
4. Remove the pie shield or foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the center is almost set and the crust and top is lightly golden.
5. Allow the pie to come to room temperature before cutting into wedges to serve. This is best served the same day, but can be stored in the fridge up to an additional day. It also tastes great warm!
K, so let me clarify by saying I DO NOT like bread pudding. Or rice pudding. Or tapioca. Or escargot. They all have awful textures to me and I just can't stand it. But perhaps it was the magicalness of the donuts that made me like this pie, or the fact that it was donuts baked inside of a pie, but either way, I fell in love. It's so rich and decadent–not for the faint of heart–but full of insane, heart-warming flavor and great texture. A definite must-try!
Also, it tastes delicious with some homemade vanilla bean butterscotch sauce on top. I meaaaaannn..
xo, Hayley

Infertility: The Silent Epidemic on Relationships
For every ten couples that try to conceive, at least one will struggle with infertility. This means that someone you know either has, is, or will be experiencing difficulty conceiving. Yet, as common as it is, infertility is still a taboo topic among many social circles.

Verses including the word Tribes
Say ye: "We believe in Allah, and the revelation given to us, and to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: And we bow to Allah (in Islam)." (Surah Al-Baqara, 136)
Or do ye say that Abraham, Isma'il Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes were Jews or Christians? Say: Do ye know better than Allah.Ah! who is more unjust than those who conceal the testimony they have from Allah.but Allah is not unmindful of what ye do! (Surah Al-Baqara, 140)
Say: "We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them, and to Allah do we bow our will (in Islam)." (Surah Al-Imran, 84)
We have sent thee inspiration, as We sent it to Noah and the Messengers after him: we sent inspiration to Abraham, Isma'il, Isaac, Jacob and the Tribes, to Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and solomon, and to David We gave the Psalms. (Surah An-Nisa, 163)
O ye Children of Adam! Let not Satan seduce you, in the same manner as He got your parents out of the Garden, stripping them of their raiment, to expose their shame: for he and his tribe watch you from a position where ye cannot see them: We made the evil ones friends (only) to those without faith. (Surah Al-Araf, 27)
We divided them into twelve tribes or nations.We directed Moses by inspiration, when his (thirsty) people asked him for water: "Strike the rock with thy staff": out of it there gushed forth twelve springs: Each group knew its own place for water.We gave them the shade of clouds, and sent down to them manna and quails, (saying): "Eat of the good things We have provided for you": (but they rebelled); to Us they did no harm, but they harmed their own souls. (Surah Al-Araf, 160)
Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that ye have gained; the commerce in which ye fear a decline: or the dwellings in which ye delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause;- then wait until Allah brings about His decision: and Allah guides not the rebellious. (Surah At-Tawba, 24)
"Did I not enjoin on you, O ye Children of Adam, that ye should not worship Satan; for that he was to you an enemy avowed?- (Surah Ya Sin, 60)
"And that ye should worship Me, (for that) this was the Straight Way? (Surah Ya Sin, 61)
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Surah HAl-Hujurat, 13)

Not Guilty by Candi Pullen
Out guest blogger is Candi Pullen, author with Teresa Pollard of Not Guilty. As an "Air Force brat" and having spent nine years as a navy wife, Candi has lived more places than she can name, including Morocco and Lybia. Raised a Roman Catholic, she doesn't remember a time when God wasn't a major part of her life, but a weakening in her first marriage caused her to question if there wasn't more, and on Thursday, November 29, 1973, at 7 pm she gave her life to Christ. She has eagerly served him since. After the death of her first husband and the death of their daughter, Andrea, nine years later, she felt that God was calling her to use that pain to minister to others who needed God's healing comfort. In 2007 she earned her Bachelor of Theology degree. She now teaches discipleship classes, mentors new believers and those wishing to find all the Lord has for them, and writes a daily devotional on Facebook, "Good Morning, Papa!" She lives in New Port Richey, Florida, with Drew, her husband of 18 years.
Welcome, Candi. Please tell us about yourself.
I was recently described as a 64 year old going on 20. I am a mature adult but have managed, by God's grace to maintain the fresh outlook of a younger woman. I do not merely live, I embrace life, perhaps as the result of my first husband's death before I was thirty and my only daughter's death at fourteen. Life is far too short and I only have today, so I must live it to its fullest!

Parker & Seville have been stunning Toronto audiences since 2007 with their loose, riffy, goofy, physical, style. Topics include Canada Dry Cranberry Ginger Ale and sadness. Winners of the 2014 Toronto Sketchfest Sketchiest Sketch Troupe award.
Parker & Seville (Dave Barclay and Matt Kowall) met in 2005 at Humber College in the Comedy Writing & Performance Program. For five years they performed as a baggy-pants style comedy duo with intense, rapid-fire physical banter, and they have kept some aspects of that style in their current incarnation. While performing as a vaudeville duo they got involved with the burlesque community and performed in Montreal, Boston and Chicago.
After getting all they could from the vaudeville form they changed to performing in a less restrictive, sketch-based style, and found their home in the sketch comedy community. In 2014 they were honoured to receive the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival Understudies Memorial Sketchiest Sketch Troupe Award, a peer-nominated award given to the Toronto sketch troupe that best embodies what sketch is all about.
Later that year they founded (with Carson Pinch, Cam Wyllie, Natalie Metcalfe and Jeff Clark) the sketch supergroup O Dat Dum (also applying to the Montreal Sketch Festival), which went on to win the 2015 Sketchiest Sketch Troupe Award.

Drug Helplines are telephone services, providing any caller who telephones them with a high quality of service, which is reliant upon the competence of the staff who run them and ethical guidelines regarding human rights.
They represent an essential link in the national and/or local strategy for reducing the demand of drugs.
They can be defined by their function, the place they have within the different sectors involved (social, health and education) and the conditions which allow their existence.
Their function
By actively listening and not judging, drug helplines inform, guide, befriend, support, advise and help in order to:
In order to fullfil these functions the services are reliant upon the many skills of the people who run them - people who are specially trained in listening and helping over the phone and in the problems of drugs use and drug abuse.
Their place in society
With regard to drug issues, drug helplines have their place at the interface of the public and the services which provide help, treatment and prevention. They provide specialist answers to callers' questions and offer a general service to organisations which specialise in drug addic-tion.
With regard to the people who use them (young people, adults, professionals, drug users and those around them) they aim to facilitate links and contact with them and promote equal access to the resources available (of information and care).
With regard to their particular place in society, drug helplines can provide a permanent guide to :
The condition of their existence
In order to fullfil their function, drug helplines must be able to rely on a contract which guarantee their financial stability; defines the nature of their links with funders; sets the statutory proceedings they may have to follow and how to resolve any lobbying they may be subject to.
In order to provide the public with a fully effective service they should offer a permanent service with a process of ongoing training.
Drug helplines should guarantee the anonymity of the caller and make sure any information taken remains confidential.
They must guarantee to provide the telephone advisors with ethical guidelines, which set limits and rights through a contract, the contents of which must be open to public knowledge.
Equally in the contact with callers and in their links with society, drug helplines must
seek to develop an environment which is conducive to talking and for questions to be
answered on the subject of drug use without dramatisation, without trivializing, and
without exclusion or rejection.

The end of August marked the 10th year of A Work of Heart. I stand amazed for a number of reasons but most of all by readers. The content available at the click of a pinkie finger is immeasurable. I never take for granted that even one person would take the time to read a long post, write a comment, share on Facebook or hit the like button.
Initially only my family and a few friends knew the existence of this site, but now there are almost 500 followers of this little ol' blog. It's a drop in the bucket for many bloggers but my cup runs over with gratitude as a blogger who doesn't follow any of the "rules" anymore and only posts occasionally. Thank you from all corners of my heart.
Now to what I am loving and learning:
I am not different from most, I like the after-effects of cleaning. In the category of frivolous, I love Caldrea countertop spray. I may lose my Oregonian credentials as I should be using a homemade vinegar and water solution but no. I love the fragrance and how it faintly lingers hours after I have cleaned, reminding me that I have indeed cleaned…something.
I had heard a bit about Netflix's original series Stranger Things but it wasn't until I asked my Facebook peeps to help us find some television/movie ideas while Carl recovered from a recent surgery that it became apparent it was time to check the series out. We felt like we had been transported into the 1980's in the best possible way. It was such a treat to watch a series that defies age. No spoilers here, just watch it.
I am not sure why it took me so long but I finally started a bullet journal. If I am honest, I thought it would bother me if I didn't do it "right". What I have learned is that mistakes are a part of the process and this journal is for me alone. I love having everything in one place. I tended towards having many notebooks and lists and never made a lot of traction regarding goal keeping and organization. Be forewarned how easy it is to drool over the creative world of those who keep a bullet journal, perhaps this was a bit intimidating as well. I am loving making my journal feel like Helen and no one is grading my journal 🙂
Behold the sunflower glory. Our year has been marked by waiting. Waiting is difficult and it is stretching. I fought hard to get seeds into the ground this year. The rest of our yard is a bit challenged and sad-looking. Last summer's extreme heat devastated most of my perennials and gave us a weak blueberry harvest. Sniff. These sunflowers are beauty and hope in the waiting. This year I planted 10-12 different varieties and then I misplaced the seeds and couldn't find them for weeks, another delay and more waiting. When I look at each stem swaying in the breeze, being enjoyed by bees or even the very tallest ones the squirrels didn't allow viewing before they carted the blossoms off, they are my sunrise and sunset. They represent all that is contained in a day and in our lives, a lot of waiting but also such a lot of glorious beauty to behold.
This week, I read this verse:
I can be content in any and every situation through the Anointed One who is my power and strength. Philippians 4: 13 (The Voice)
I have read this verse countless times but in this translation, all I could do was say out loud, "Not even."
I haven't been very content in most situations lately.
I can be, only through God.
If contentment were easy, God wouldn't need to help us secure it.
I can wait.
I can be content.
I can lean heavily onto my Maker to make it be so.
My word for the year has been peace. Oh that has been such a great word for many reasons. We all need peace and want it. Sometimes, I have to hunt for peace when I scroll through social media feeds. Another aspect of peace which I didn't anticipate is my need to finally surrender to taking better care of myself. It encompasses all the things we all know we should be doing but for me it also is simply being kinder and gentler to myself. I don't have to move at an urgent pace everyday. I don't have to conquer everything. I can say no or yes. I can rest. If I wasn't convinced, I need to look no further than how Caleb has gotten in the habit of giving me a neck and shoulder massage. It is the most dear thing ever but he notices. Tight muscles are noisy messengers.
I read Shauna Niequist's new book after grappling with many of the themes of her book for years. I finished it in a couple of days and wrote all over the margins. It became a journal of "aha's" and "yes, me too". This summer, I also started the crazy habit of reading one book at a time. Gasp. After decade of having lot of bookmarked books, I decided to read one book at a time. It makes me feel less cluttered. I think I am loving it.
When this image hit my Instagram feed several days ago, I could not stop looking at the Obamas. It is such a stunning photo of a man and a woman, a husband and a wife. I had so many thoughts and feelings. It gave me pause for all the ways I feel about my body, all the ways I feel it has been less or more than I want it to be. I added it to the running list of "loves" in my bullet journal (of course). But then I read Deidra Rigg's post and it was such a slam dunk and a hallelujah, I will let her eloquent words stand. She is a lot braver than I am. I want to be braver. Fist bump Deidra and Michelle.
Not the best photo (not my car), but remember, obviously you can never have too many car fresheners 😉
What are you loving and learning during these golden days of September?

Beginning Your Case
New Jersey courts charge a fee when you file your complaint for divorce. If you have children, the state requires that you attend a mandatory parenting class, and the fee for this is tacked onto the filing fee. If you are unable to pay these fees, you can submit a fee waiver request to the court, but you'll have to provide proof of your income to demonstrate that you can't afford the fee. You must then serve a copy of your filed complaint on your spouse, but he can voluntarily acknowledge service and spare you the cost of having the county sheriff deliver the paperwork to him.
Uncontested Divorce by Default
If you have no assets or children, your spouse can do nothing when he receives your complaint for divorce. You can then ask the court for a default judgment after 35 days. The court will generally award you whatever relief you requested in your complaint – which may be as simple as an end to your marriage. If you choose this option, and if your spouse accepts service of your complaint, you can be divorced for the cost of filing your paperwork.
Uncontested Divorce by Agreement
If you have assets, debts, or children, you can still save a lot of costs if you reach an agreement with your spouse as to how to resolve these issues before you file your complaint. You can tell the court in your complaint that you would like your signed agreement -- called a property settlement agreement in New Jersey -- incorporated into your divorce judgment. This puts your divorce on an expedited track. The court will schedule an uncontested hearing. At the hearing, you can present your written agreement to the judge and be divorced. You can also submit a property settlement agreement at your default hearing if your spouse doesn't answer your complaint. If you file for divorce before you have a settlement agreement in place, you can notify the court at any time when you reach one and request a date for an uncontested hearing.
Settling at the MESP
If you don't reach a settlement agreement with your spouse, your costs will begin piling up. You'll probably want to engage in discovery, which is the process of requesting documentation from your spouse and third parties to gather information regarding the aspects of your case that are in dispute. Your spouse will most likely do the same thing, and the logistics of this can be difficult without an attorney. After you've competed discovery, New Jersey requires that you then attend a matrimonial early settlement panel, also called an early settlement panel in some counties. During the MESP, a panel of family law attorneys reviews the facts of your case, and then makes a recommendation for settlement. If you accept their recommendation – or negotiate with your spouse to bring it more in line with something with which you can live -- you can be divorced that day. Otherwise, the court will schedule your case for trial.
Settling at Mediation
The matrimonial early settlement panel typically addresses only economic issues. Therefore, the courts in most counties will schedule you for custody mediation even before you go to the MESP, so you can resolve parenting issues first. There's no cost for mediation in New Jersey -- it's a court-provided service. If you don't reach an agreement on parenting and custody at mediation, you'll have to go to trial even if you settle economic issues at the MESP; however, you won't be able to divorce that day if custody is still an outstanding issue. If you go to trial, you can probably expect to spend a great deal on the litigation, up to and including time missed from work. Contested divorce trials typically last more than a day.

Replace your barks with boos: Sark headed to USC
Less than a year ago I remember sitting with some friends at a bar during the Vegas Bowl, one of which is Sean Kramer, and several of which are Sean Kramer's friends, making Kramer the inexplicable epicenter of much of my social life. We were arguing about whether or not the Huskies should fire Steve Sarkisian.
I don't even remember where I stood on it. I'm prone to be moderate on many things, a thing that I've had reiterated quite frequently in the form of recent sports topics.
What I do remember I asking the waitress to cut Sean off, only to have her serve him one more. The fatal shot. The tipping point.
Kramer went from explaining to Boise State fans why the University of Idaho was a better academic institution to obnoxiously slurring "Seven Win Steve" at a decibel level that would require hearing protection in an industrial setting.
"Can you make your friend stop swearing so much?" said the bartender.
"You served him," I retorted, "This is your fault, not mine."
And while I do believe that the majority of the burden of that uncomfortable afternoon belongs to this particular waitress, I also think that some of it belongs to Steve Sarkisian. It was only the third quarter when Kramer had been extolling the virtues of Steve Sarkisian. Give that man a goddamned extension. Only minutes later Kramer, with the help of our uncooperative waitress, had waffled to the other side of an argument that has become quite polarizing for Huskies fans.
Fire Steve Sarkisian.
The Huskies didn't get the chance to fire Sark, as Sark decided he was leaving on his own accord, leaving for the greener pastures of the University of Southern California. He won't be coaching the bowl game, and he won't be leaving any of his coaches in Seattle if he can help it, it would appear.
This is a dick move. There's no doubt about that. There's not much worse a coach could do to a program. Just days after jubilation spread over the city of Seattle with the victory over the hated Washington State Cougars, Sark has deserted his players, and a city and culture he tried so hard to convince us he was committed to.
People will say that the team should have fired him before he had the chance to quit in light of these events. That's a bit like saying you should have been fucking other people once you find out your girlfriend cheated on you. It's pointless, and doesn't further your life at all.
That said, Steve Sarkisian did a very good thing for the Washington Huskies. Not today. Today was fucked. But in the past five years Sark has led a resurgence to near-prominence coming from the deepest depths the program had ever seen. He didn't have a completely bare cupboard, but he's continued to infuse the program with talent.
When Sark returns there's a very good chance he'll be booed. He deserves to be booed. Most people who get booed deserve to be booed. If you feel like booing Sark, boo the hell out of him. That's your right as a fan. But understand that you're doing it, at least in part, because there's something that you love about him. Sark took a job when it was its least attractive and brought the Huskies back to a respectable program that is on the verge of re-entering the "good" discussion.
By no means should Sarkisian be in the Huskies hall of fame, or anything silly like that, but when the Huskies are great again, it will be in some part due to the five-year head start they were given by that mother fucker at USC that everyone will be booing.
Early speculation has one of Chris Petersen or Jim Mora ending up at Washington. While both of those are pretty interesting options, Patton Richard, one of the most underrated football minds in this area in my opinion, made a fantastic suggestion: Ray Horton.*
My list: James Franklin, Ray Horton, Jim Mora
— Patton Richard (@ThePatton) December 2, 2013
Horton is the present defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. Horton's average annual value as Cleveland's defensive coordinator is $2 million, so he wouldn't be a cheap get.
He's got no head coaching experience, and no college coaching experience either. Those are marks against him. He'd need the ropes shown to him from a recruiting perspective, and probably to some extent from a structural perspective, as the college game is much different from the pro game, both procedurally and on the field.
Horton is, however, considered to have one of the NFL's best defensive minds, and is a Washington graduate who was born in Tacoma. Being a local guy isn't a sole reason for inclusion in a candidate search, but when paired with Horton's presumed tactical strengths, it doesn't make for an entirely terrible package.
*For some comprehensiveness surrounding Patton's tweet, James Franklin is the head coach of Vanderbilt. I know very little about him, but I trust Patton's judgement.

Not all of us are true campers at heart, which is probably why the "glamping" trend has made such a big impact on the travel industry over the past few years. All over Africa, tented camps have popped up to satisfy this demand. Tented camps serve as the perfect solution for travelers who want to get close to nature but not give up the basic comforts. You get a comfy bed and bedding without having to pitch the tent yourself.
The options range from basic to very luxurious, it's up to you to decide how fancy you want to go and how much you are willing to spend.
Here are my favorite tented camps I have visited in Southern Africa:

The Challenge Response system requires senders from external domains to authorize their email address for future communication with your mail server. External senders will only be challenged once.
When the receiver's server get your mail (firstname.lastname@example.com), it will send another mail to your SMTP server to check if that email (email@example.com) is valid.

Isn't it wonderful; The FBI issues its latest statistics saying that crime is down throughout the country. Murder, rape, assault, burglaries have all seen a marked decline over the past several years. Oops, forgot about Boston. Well, you know, there's a bad apple in every barrel.
Boston's murder rate is up and it's up at an alarming rate. By and large, it's Black people killing other Black people. Why? The Jesse Jackson's and the Al Sharpton's of this world will tell you it's because Black people have been oppressed. The more conservative and less outspoken will tell you that it's because the Black community is unwilling to take responsibility or accept accountability for what is going on within a small group that wants to become rich without working. I'm speaking, of course, about those who believe that dealing drugs and robbing those better off than they are acceptable forms for achieving wealth…and wealth is often determined by the amount of 'bling' you wear.
The recent murders in Mattapan, a small section of Boston, serve as a perfect example of how messed up much of the Black community is today. At 1:30 in the morning, four people are gunned down. These include two naked men, a woman in her pajamas and a two-year old child. Okay, here are some questions that I want answered:
- What is this woman doing outside with her baby and two naked men, neither of whom is her husband or the father of the baby as far as we know?
- The sole survivor, shot and gravely wounded says this was a pot deal gone bad. Were the men naked because they were being search for pot by the murderers and what did the woman, who had plans to study criminal justice at a local community college, have to do with a pot deal?
- Why would you bring your child to a drug deal?
There are many, many questions that have to be answered about these murders; chief among them is why so much of this is taking place in one racial grouping. The majority of the Black community in Mattapan are justifiably outraged, and with good reason. When someone is killed in Brockton or New Bedford, it will, in all probability, turn out to be a Cape Verdean or a person of color. If it happens in Wellesley or Needham, the victim and the killer are generally white. But it doesn't happen in the latter communities with the regularity that it seems to within the Black community. Why? Is this some cultural thing that says if you don't get what you want, you just kill the person who doesn't give it to you? I don't understand it and I never, ever will.
I see a total lack of understanding among some of the community leaders in Mattapan. When one says, "We built a new library so these kids would have a place to go," I have be open in my incredulity. It's not enough to build the facility; you have to provide the incentives that will attract people to it. This is like giving a kid in the jungles of deepest, darkest wherever a computer. Since there is no electricity, it can't be turned on, and since the child doesn't speak the language of the instructional manual, and because the child doesn't know what the hell the thing is in the first place, how can you expect him or her to use the computer effectively. Wouldn't it be easier, when your back is turned, for the kid to hit you over the head with the computer; steal your clothing and your shoes, and; trade them for something of value…like food? Yes, that is the invidious comparison I am making. It is easier and faster for many members of the Black community in Mattapan and other areas to kill somebody over drugs than it is to learn how to make an honest living; how to improve one's life style legitimately, and; help to change a culture of violence into one where people can live safely.
This is not a nice world in which we live. The statistics offered by the FBI mean squat to the people who live with violence every day. More police are not the solution; that merely drives the problem underground until such time as the naïve politicians make an announcement that the community is now safe. Dream on, you hacks, dream on. The community will not be safe until the community accepts the responsibility for making it safe. In the case of Mattapan, this means Black fathers accepting responsibility for their families. It means Black girls saying "No" to getting knocked up and having the father abrogate his responsibilities. It means Black boys being lured by older members of the community into the illegal world of drugs, burglary, assault, and yes, even murder have to wise up and walk away before more of them take a bullet. Why is it, I would ask, that Black grandparents are the ones who are out saying the very same thing and yet, in their day, some of them – not all, but some – were the same part of the same problem? Older and wiser is no excuse. Easy money by peddling drugs is no excuse. Owning a gun and believing that this entitles you to take what you want is not an excuse. How many of the kids in Mattapan idolize Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., W.E.B. DuBois, Jack Johnson, or Berry Gordy with the same intensity that they idolize athletes like Michael Viick or Alan Iverson or some of the rappers who advocate "Beating the bitches," or "Killin' da ho's," or "Takin' down da man." Who the hell are the role models?
I won't pretend to know what it's like to live a life of poverty. Many of the people in Mattapan are right at the poverty line, most through no fault of their own. My family was lower-middle to middle-middle class. I grew up in a suburb, a small town of 11,000. There were three Black families in town. To us, they were families; they were like us except for skin color and that really didn't matter. I went to school in Boston, right on the edge of Roxbury, what was then considered "The Black Section." I'd been told it was a tough area and that white folks weren't welcome, but I really didn't believe it until I watched three Black men throw a fourth from the roof of a four-story building…now there's an eye-opener! I went to a bar in Mission Hill, another Black section. The bar was owned by Jim Nance, a running back for the Boston Patriots. Until we told the other patrons that Jim had invited us, our reception was quite a bit less than friendly.
Until we get to the point that we all begin to accept responsibility for our actions, murderous scenes such as recently occurred in Mattapan will continue. Until everyone in this country is held accountable for his or her actions, we will continue to have problems. In other words, nothing is probably going to change. We will bitch and wail and bare our chests; scream for the criminals to be caught and punished. The media will continue to philosophize about people coming together…and then some other tragedy will occur that will knock the Mattapan murders right off the front pages of the newspapers and right out of the half hour newscasts on TV. Cynical? Me? Oh, how can you say that?

Getting active gets easy with open data
Finding easy ways to get active locally is essential to improving health and wellbeing – which is why we're teaming up with technology experts to open the door to data and all the ways you can get active
01 November 2016 Research
Finding the correct information at your fingertips can be one of main barriers to getting active. Much of the information about who, what, where and when is currently hidden away on old-fashioned websites, social media groups, PDFs or printed flyers.
Open to everyone
But over the next year, we will be working with the Open Data Institute (ODI) and the rest of the sports sector to make booking dance classes, finding tennis courts and taking part in physical activity sessions easier than ever.
We'll be looking to improve and open up all the information about the physical activity and sporting opportunities available across England. One of the best things? This data, which doesn't include any personal information, will be open for anyone to access, use and share.
Jeni Tennison, chief executive at the ODI said: 'We all use apps and digital services to make the most of our down time: to find a good local restaurant, book cinema tickets, or to research our next holiday.
We all use digital services to make the most of our down time – but it can be far more difficult to identify ways of getting more active
Jeni Tennison, Chief Executive, Open Data Institute
"But it can be far more difficult to identify ways of getting more active. One reason is a lack of data to power online services like those we've come to expect for other activities.
"Over the coming months the ODI, Sport England and the physical activity community will come together to create new ways to find activities – engaging large and small organisations to publish their data for the first time."
Our new collaboration will encourage innovators and start-ups to develop new products and services by unlocking the fuel that powers them: high quality, comprehensive data on where and when you can do sport and physical activity.
Keeping pace
This collaboration marks the start of a longer term cultural change for the sector in how it uses data to keep pace with the digital expectations of customers – which is why the ODI will be on hand to provide support and guidance to make publishing physical activity data as easy as possible.
While it is impossible to predict what these new services will look like, open data will make it easier to build the solutions to getting active and break down the barriers to sport and physical activity.
We want to make it as easy to book a badminton court as it is a hotel room – and open data is an essential part of that
Lisa O'Keefe, Director of Insight, Sport England
Lisa O'Keefe, Director of Insight at Sport England, says: "With opportunities to go swimming described and advertised in more than 6,000 different ways, you can be left feeling it's easier to break the enigma code than navigate a pool timetable.
"But it doesn't have to be that way and the sports sector is ready and willing to change that. We want to make it as easy to book a badminton court as it is a hotel room, and open data is an essential part of that."

Consumer involvement Theory - CIT - is one way to understand the psychology
and behavior of your target audience.
There are others, including many types of consumer research, but none quite so quick, simple and insightful.
The idea behind consumer involvement theory is simply this: that there are two main forces that drive most purchase decisions.
- One is the time and energy an individual devotes to making the decision.
- A second factor is the degree to which emotion or reason - feelings or logic - influence a purchase decision.
Above: A high involvement / emotional purchase decision is acted out in this TVC.
Here's specifically how CIT works:
The High / Low involvement scale refers to how much time, thought, energy and other resources people devote to the purchase process, from a lot to a little.
The Emotional / Rational scale is a measure of reason vs. impulse, desire vs. logic, passion vs. prudence. That sort of psychological stuff.
There are four general CIT categories:
- High involvement / emotional
- High involvement / rational
- Low involvement / emotional
- Low involvement / rational
Infographics are one type of medium to present information for Hi Involvement / Rational purchase decisions.
High involvement / rational
In this category you find expensive business purchases: anything relating to the technological infrastructure, the office location and lease, as well as the company health insurance plan.
On the consumer side, high involvement / rational purchases tend to be linked to high cost. This category can include financial services and products, the purchase of a home or car, as well as major appliances and electronics.
That said, high involvement consumer purchases can vary significantly on the rational / emotional scale from individual to individual. For Ms. Smith, a car is strictly a way to get to work, she does extensive comparative research, and her selection is based on fuel economy and reliability. it's a Hi/R purchase. For Mr. Wilson, a car is an important expression of his status and ego. It's a Hi/E purchase.
Your task is to determine how the majority of your target market relates to the purchase of the particular product or service.
For both B2C and BtoB markets, advertising for Hi/R purchases tend to be copy driven, with clear explanations of features and benefits. Explainer videos, slideshow and infographics can work well - as can information rich websites.
> Every Creative Director set includes:
- 3 Quick and clever ways to get consumer insights.
- 9 Specialized creative briefs, each in multiple file formats.
- 4 DIY workshops with activity book and instructional slideshows that include TV commercials, video and sample ads.
- Plus sample briefs, pro tips, and the extended slideshow:
How to write a creative brief.
High involvement / emotional
Business purchases that fall into this category might include such things as office furniture and design, advertising and design, and perhaps even the hiring of certain employees.
For individuals, high involvement / emotional purchases can include special gifts, jewelry, holiday travel plans or anything related to a wedding - as can the purchase of a home or car. Again, much depends on the culture, person, and how much purchasing power she has.
Advertising in this category tends to focus on visual and emotional appeals. Above all, that means emotionally evocative music, sounds and visuals. Media considerations include highly interactive websites as well as information kits with DVD / video and brochures.
Low involvement / rational
These are the things we buy out of habit, without much thought. This category includes most of the things you put into your basket at the drug store or market. The places you eat lunch, say the local McDonald's. And office supplies.
Here the typical role for advertising is to get people to switch - to break the automatic habit of spending their money with the competitor. Consider coupons and other incentives. Free samples can work well. Also, look at ways to differentiate or re-position the product. Give the audience compelling reasons to give your service a try.
Low involvement / emotional
The gratification we get from these products is emotional or sensual. But that gratification is fleeting; it doesn't last a long time. So we don't spend a lot of time thinking about the purchase. Movies, candy, an entertaining magazine, or a birthday card fall into this category. For some, selecting a restaurant for a special occasion.
The advertising challenge here tends to be the promise of pleasure, of gratification, of a sensually rewarding experience. Strong positioning can help, especially in a crowded product category. But the message should be snapped quickly with strong visuals and powerful video. Movie trailers are a good example of approaches that can work.

Recycling services have real value that has long been underestimated because they are bundled with waste removal services. Bernie Lee, commodities research analyst at the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries talks with Earth911 about his recent Scrap Magazine editorial, "The Service, Value, and Labor of Recycling." Perhaps, Lee suggests, if we broke down the various costs of recycling, we'd see more clearly the benefit of spending money now to ensure that manufacturers plan for responsible disposal of consumer goods at their end of life.

Melissa926 needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 172 designs submitted by 37 freelance designers.
something for grace
chic canvas creations
We sell art photographic prints and canvasses for homes and businesses. My target audience is interior designers and stylists, predominately women. My business can also produce bespoke photographic artworks on request.
I want the brand to have a modern/contemporary, funky, arthouse feel.. As the term 'something for grace' doesn't say straight what the business does, I really want the logo to illiustrate what we do - selling canvas wall art and photographic prints. See the attached logo...it is for my other photography business and it is a logo that I love. However, this new brand for 'something for grace' does not need to be the similar - it is its own identity but you can see from the attached logo below a style I like. The logo tells the story.
The business name 'something for grace' came about when I was reading through a number of design magazines and saw a photo of Grace Kelly - she was the epitome of style. And I got to thinking about the word 'grace' and how we often desire grace in our homes. We often obtain artwork and decorative pieces to give our home style and 'grace'. Thus, people may buy our pieces, looking for 'something for grace'.

What kills you is the soft vulnerable plaques that can't be seen. When they rupture due to increased inflammation, you usually die. A calcified plaque is actually quite stable toward rupture. Calcified plaques are a sign of past heart disease; soft vulnerable plaques are sign of current ongoing heart disease.

DJ Jason Falzone
The fittingly named Showboat will be the host. And a gang culled from hotspots such as Harrah's, Chris Michael's, Abyss and Parkeast will be handling the hosting, in conjunction with LIV's Chris Carr. But as well-played as these players play it, this night is gonna be all about the sound spinning outta the speakers, a now sound that builds on house's fabled foundation and gives it a whole new home.
DJs Jason Falzone and Giovanni of the Midnight House Mafia headline the night; Manny the Greek will be will be boothed-up right beside them. And lest you forget just which town this is going down in there's Miami's own Joey Aguila rounding out the dizzy. Falzone's one of DJ List's Top 50 DJ's in the US, and he's ranked among the Top 200 in the world. That alone should be reason enough to swing through for the beatitude.
Another reason is that this is all happening at Gemma Lounge, still one of the best appointed -- and best situated -- clubs on Miami Beach. That this also happens to be the first of many more Midnight House Mafia parties to come makes it a must. I mean, who doesn't wanna boast that they were there for the inaugural bash?

I have a basic application that we install on servers at rackspace. We are looking at more affordable solutions and the reason I am on your site today. I am wondering if the following is possible. 1. We create a mirror image of our server. 2. Setup new account for new client on your server 3. Restore our server image. (That was created on a different account).

The specials are so good, I usually get the special Karachi chicken, I have never had a gluten contamination here and I eat here at least once a week. Very well marked menu and the owner is very knowledgeable about gluten. Update: The restaurant was sold to a different owner. They still understand gluten free but the food quality has gone down. I'm very disappointed.
Read the previous review! Very good review below. I like their food, and I had only the mildest of reactions. I also like that they pay attention, BUT they are very literal -- I told them to please keep it glutenfree and keep all wheat items completely separate (I was ordering for me and a friend). BUT because roti are, duh, made with RYE and not wheat, they were in the same bag. So stressing that wheat, rye, and barley are off-limits seem required.
Here's instructions on how you avoid gluten contamination!!! First anything cooked in clay oven labeled tandori" gets cooked with bread as well so avoid that, avoid things that say not gliten free to be obvious. And let the chef know of your extreme gluten Allergy bcz lets be real, that's y ure on this site and he will take care of you. If it's a curry u want, ure good to go, and if its a vegetable dish use precaution he told me one kind of veggies use oven, others use skillets so there's a fine line. I ordered 3 things at once asking for not hot, the least spicy, and used plenty of rice and it had a bite to it, so keep in mind. People there are very nice and get five stars for their service!!!!!;););)
Super tasty and inexpensive. Safe options are clearly marked, and owner is well-versed in avoiding cross contamination. If you ask for "spicy" you'd better mean it. Will make this a regular destination when I'm in Oakland.
Super cheap Indian food, clearly marked safe menu items, pretty big vegan menu. Usually fire hot, although spice levels are a bit unpredictable. The tamarind sauce/chutney is delicious and you get a huge bottle for your table. The fry vats are separated by vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and even though the pakora is gluten free, it is fried with gluten items. NOT SAFE for celiacs. Papadum is imported, so they are unsure if it's gluten free. I have eaten here weekly for a long time and couldn't figure out where my low level contamination was coming from: it's the pakora. Maybe also papadum. I like the owner and I like the cheap food, but I broke my own rule about never trusting fried food in a restaurant and learned my lesson.

What decisions do I get to make as a criminal defendant?
Can my conviction be expunged?
Any lawyer can do the job, right?
Answer the following question to subscribe to our newsletter
Friday, November 1, 2013
Being an attorney that has a practice heavily focused on DUI defense, I am often asked in social settings: "What should I do if I am stopped and investigated for DUI."
The answers people get to these questions from defense attorneys vary greatly. My first response when I am asked this always begins with, "First, you shouldn't be drinking and driving." However, the reality is, there is no law in the State of Georgia that makes it illegal to drink and drive. It is only illegal to drink and drive if, due to the alcohol you consumed, you are "less safe" to operate your motor vehicle.
Therefore, when I get asked the question posed above, I don't think it is prudent to answer the question with an advisory opinion, it is better that people understand the repercussions of the decisions that they have available to them on the side of the road and make a decision given their threshold for potential ramifications.
The three decisions that must be made if you are the subject of a DUI investigation are:
Standardized field sobriety evaluations (more info about these evaluations will be discussed in a future blog) are tools that an officer can use to help him/her determine if the subject of their investigation is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Many things can affect the results obtained on these evaluations (environmental, personal, officer proficiency, and subjective interpretation). If an individual submits to these evaluations, the officer will use all the factors of the encounter in making an arrest decision, including the field sobriety evaluations. If these fields are refused by the subject, the officer will be forced to make his/her determination off the limited contact that has occurred, including but not limited to, any physical manifestations of impairment exhibited by the driver. How much information you feel comfortable giving the officer is what dictates this decision.
Once you are under arrest, you will be asked to submit to a test of your blood, breath, urine, or other bodily substance. If you refuse this test, the officer can file paperwork to start the suspension of your license prior to you even going to court. If you take the test, that test will be offered into evidence against you in court.
Whether you have a right to ask for an independent test is determined by whether you took the State's test. You have no right to your own test if you have refused to take the State requested test. However, if you did take the State's test, there is no downside to asking for your own independent test other than those results coming back consistent with the State's test. If that happens it leaves less arguments to be made that the State's test must be wrong.
Ultimately, I tell people that whatever decision you make at the time of your encounter; that is the right decision. It is very hard to advise people as to what they should do. Only you know how much you had to drink, only you know how coordinated you are, only you know if there are other factors that would impact your ability to perform tests, and every officer has different proficiency levels with DUI detection and enforcement.
Therefore, I say again, it is best not to drink and drive. However, if you do/did, and you are facing a DUI charge, contact our office immediately so that we can assist you in this difficult time.

This is our eleventh annual wine competition. We started in 2003 as the Tri-Nations Wine Challenge then changing to the Five Nations Wine Challenge with the addition of Chile and Argentina and to the Six Nations Wine Challenge this year as we welcomed the United States of America.
The competition celebrates both uniformity, with the common language of wine assessment shared by our six judges, and diversity as we compare and contrast wines from many regions and grape varieties.

About Us
AGR is two fraternities in one.
Alpha Gamma Rho isn't like other fraternities. In AGR you'll get the opportunity to experience both a social and a professional fraternity. AGR does what you expect a social fraternity to do: socialize with other students on campus and people in the community. AGR is also like other social fraternities in that it has a strong group of members and a house you can live in during your college years. But AGR is more than just one of those strictly social fraternities; it is also a professional fraternity. All members of AGR have related career interests. AGR is for young men pursuing any career related to the agriculture, food or fiber industries. One more difference: at AGR there's no pledging. You join as an equal member. AGR does a careful review of all potential members in advance, so there's no need for a "weeding out" process.
We get you ready for the real world.
Because AGR is a professional fraternity, we are concerned with promoting your career development during your college years and after graduation. We offer:
Regional career seminars for undergraduates.
Internships through alumni contacts.
Job networking.
Alumni associations with informative ag programming.
It's a tough world out there, but thousands of AGR members worldwide are there to help you succeed. From Secretaries of Agriculture, to top management, to presidents of food companies, to thousands of farmers and ranchers, AGR Alumni are a "who's who" in worldwide agriculture.
We know the real reason you're in college.
AGR never loses sight of why you're in college in the first place...to graduate and get a job. And to graduate, you need to do well academically. This is where belonging to a fraternity that is both social and professional helps most. Because everyone in AGR is in the same career field, it's easy to have peer study groups or find someone who has taken the same classes. And with state of the art computers and libraries in most AGR houses, you'll find the good studying atmosphere you need to do your best.
AGR isn't just for "farm boys."
You don't have to study production agriculture to join AGR. AGR is for any young man preparing for any ag or food related career, including food science, biotechnology, agri-marketing, environmental science and many others. AGR has strong ties with 4-H and FFA, but even if you have never been a member of these groups, you can be a member of AGR.
AGR men are leaders.
Leadership is an important skill you'll learn or develop in Alpha Gamma Rho. Our members recognize the need to develop leadership skills and take an active part in fraternity and university activities. Fraternity officer positions give you real leadership experience; you will use these skills to get involved in campus clubs, organizations or student government.
Lean on us.
AGR members realize they are students of their university and non-university communities. AGR tries to be a good neighbor by doing community service work and completing philanthropic projects which help the community.
AGR plays hard too.
If all of this sounds like a lot of serious work, don't worry. AGR knows how to have a lot of fun, too. Intramurals are a great way to show our AGR competitiveness in a variety of both team and individual sports. From softball and water volleyball, to flag football and dart tournaments, intramurals are lots of fun, and they provide a chance for AGRs to have a great time together. Plus, AGR usually has a full calendar of social events each term, including responsible parties, tailgates and sorority functions. These social events let you balance the professional and social aspects of the AGR fraternity experience.
Sound interesting?
If this kind of exciting, challenging college life is what you're looking for, please contact us for more information on joining in on the unique opportunity that is Alpha Gamma Rho.
Please fill out the Contact Form and we will get in touch with you.

I found this book at a "dollar" store and it is a gem! Did I miss this on a best-seller list? It should have been there. Wonderful story and the prose is so good! THE PRAYER ROOM is her other book--will definitely read that one.
A phenomenally well written novel: descriptions vivid, characters developed, as I read, I felt deeply about both the bio-mother and the foster mother: the age old question: what serves the child best, being raised by bio mother who can give him nothing materially, or foster family that has the resources to give the child a secure life with all the attendant attributes.
I was impressed with the bio-mother's courage, resourcefulness, her ability to survive, emotionally and physically: what kept her alive, the memories of her son-her longing, her hope, will it be enough in the long run going home to a Mexico where there is nothing, no hope, no future.
Great book about the perils of young Mexicans living in poverty, with few choices, who are willing to take huge risks to live in a land with opportunities. Another theme explores what it truly means to be a parent - particularly, a mother. Beautifully written; I had a hard time putting it down.
This is a complex, multilayered story of love and sacrifice. There are some heavy issues here - childlessness, immigration, separation - but through it all the author keeps the reader so involved with the characters that you can't help wanting to know what comes next. I loved it and will definitely look for more from Sekaran!
A heartbreaking and wonderfully written story about what makes a family involving fertility treatments,foster families, adoption, both documented and undocumented immigrants, la migra. One Lucky boy with two mothers. A little over ambitious and needed some editing.
This well-written novel is primarily a struggle between a biological mother and a foster mother, and the fight between them for one young boy, Ignacio. What makes this fight unusual is that the two mothers never meet. Set in Santa Clara Popocalco in Oaxaca, Mexico, and Berkeley, California, the story is told in alternating chapters between the families of Solimar Castro Valdez and Kavya and Rishi Reddy, second generation Indian-Americans. I found the story compelling, and a fast read. Timely in its subject matter it adds a human face to the immigration conversation and a depth to the plight of undocumented workers, as well as the struggles of a couple who are unable to have children. It's ultimately a story of love and loss circling back to the beginning. This sentence from the novel sums it up beautifully: "This is a story of the wind, rushing through the trees, alongside a train, across the valley floor, billowing the drapes of a bungalow home." Go ahead, read it, and be swept away. It will stay with you long after you have closed the book.

"Our friends and family loved them and their music was the perfect soundtrack to the best day of our lives" Lee & Karen Williams (Rock my Wedding Real Bride – Athenaeum & Parr Street Studios, Liverpool)
"We were truly blown away by how fantastic you were in helping to make our day perfect. The comments from our guests gave us such a buzz as well knowing that they thought the same as us. So many people, young and old made a point of telling us that they thought you were something special, especially sharing your instruments and getting them to join in. Thank you again and we can't wait to see you again" Lisa & Andy Burke (Wedding – Hurlston Hall)
"We had a relaxed feel to our wedding and they helped set the tone perfectly, playing a huge array of music that appealed to all age ranges, including bringing percussion instruments that allowed people to get involved. We opted for the Acoustic Pop Up theme and it was perfect as they popped up and played around the venue to wherever we needed them. We can only be really grateful to them both for making our day truly memorable" Ruth & Tony Gill (Wedding – Hendre Hall, Bangor)
"They popped up on four different occasions one outside the others inside. Not only did they play lively and catchy tuneful music which children and adults could dance or enjoy listening to, they provided various musical instruments for general use. They were very accommodating to our requirements and provided a very happy atmosphere. I would have no hesitation in recommending them for any function" Lawrence Fletcher (Father of The Bride)

Just five years ago, three of us were sitting around in an apartment tossing around ideas. Over the next 12 months or so, they evolved into the business plan and core technology that still powers Distil Networks today. Now, we're 130 people, have five offices around the world, and I'm thinking, "How did this happen?"
But that's just a feature...
When we started, people looked at what we were doing and said, "That sounds like a feature, not an actual product." But we really believed that bots were shaping up to be a real problem, and we stuck to our guns (some might say our fantasies). Now the big boys are playing catchup to try and compete with us. Akamai thinks it's a product, Imperva thinks it's a product — I think that makes it a product.
Of course, what we didn't know back then was what it would take to go from three people in an apartment to a multinational organization in a few short years.
It's all about the people
It was all very abstract at the beginning. The biggest lesson I've learned is how many people are involved in building a company — all the different kinds of expertise that is needed. You can't build a global company by yourself, and you can't be responsible for carrying the entire load on your own back.
Almost everyone who has worked here has touched the company in some way. We've had admins who've built culture, and recruiters who've brought in talent that has impacted how we've grown. Then there are the marketers who've shaped our message and the market's perception of us. And I can't forget the engineers who've helped evolve the product.
One of my favorite memories is of the constant evolution that transpires at Distil Networks' all-hands meetings — all of us just getting together and growing the business together. Every time we take another group picture, it becomes my background on Facebook. It's how I chart the milestones in my life — the evolution of the team.
I confess to being a little nostalgic. In the beginning, every day we'd wake up, go for a run, come back and it was Distil, 24 × 7. It was all-enveloping — there was something special, almost a purity, about that life. Of course, back then we didn't really have long-term significant others. We had girlfriends, but it was really all about us guys and spending every day building awesome technology.
Growing our company — and ourselves
Today, many families rely on us to make the right decisions for their livelihood. This has meant that I've had to broaden my skills, both as a leader and as a human being. Empathy has never been one of my prior strengths, so I'm continually working on my people skills. I'm getting better at listening, at guiding, and at giving feedback to people instead of directing them. That's been the biggest management challenge for me, and I know it'll stand me in good stead as we continue to build the company to achieve an enduring future.
Holding on to our core mission of making the web more secure has been a key part of our success. We've wanted to change people's perceptions of the web's key vulnerabilities. That goal has evolved from web scrapers to the broader bot landscape, and now the security of the entire universe of web applications and services. Our mission has become broader, sure, but it's still aimed at the same guiding star and we have no plans to change direction - that is, unless our customers tell us to. Our customers have always been a key part of our product evolution, pushing us to always do better, and that's not going to change either.
What does the future hold for Distil Networks?
One thing we'll never do is sit still. Web security is dynamic and demands constant innovation. We're looking to bring together a suite of three, four, or five different products that help secure web applications, services, and APIs, while reducing fraud and making the internet a safer place for everyone to conduct business. That means we'll likely need to continue our current growth rate of tripling every year. That is what will enable us to support thousands, instead of hundreds, of customers. This is really our goal — to do a lot more of what we're already doing, while staying true to our mission of helping customers protect themselves.
With five years behind us and a long road ahead, a huge thank you goes out to our customers and staff — without you, none of this would have been possible.

It was my first time at Sumosam in Powerplant mall. I found the blonde hair on the tsinito waiters a nice touch in enhancing the quirky take of the restaurant on Japanese food.
|They have a great Sashimi platter. Everything you would want are there - salmon, unagi, uni ( which I don't eat ), tuna, eel, shrimp, and squid.
