George Sellas-Artist
George Sellas hates writing autobiographies He realizes that no one really desperately needs to read his back-story or find out what his interests are as if he is some sort of mysterious and intriguing masked hero. He prefers to let the writers do the writing and stick to what he does best, which is artwork and the occasional snarky comment.
However, George is extremely proud to be part of the Pro Se family and Barry Reese's "Reese Unlimited" imprint, helping to bring wonderful, iconic characters to life on the page through illustration. His work has also appeared in a wide variety of formats, including books, comics, albums, corporate branding, more caricatures than he can count, and most recently, video games. He gets a huge kick out of the fact that he gets to draw pictures for a living and he plans to keep doing it for a very long time.
You can see more of George's artwork, and learn virtually nothing more about him at www.georgesellas.com

Reason enough to order, share, photograph and dish. I've been wanting to go there and review it for the Dish for. ever. I wrote them years ago at either Rice Lake or Osseo, but never heard back. Since they've got a new restaurant a handful of miles away, I finally gave them a trial run yesterday.
We're having a birthday dinner there tomorrow so more photos and menu items will be posted soon.
The Good: Huge fresh strawberries, flaky, tender crust.
The Iffy: The gelatin filling although tangy, is still too bland and too plentiful. I'm not a fan of this kind of filling and will forever chase the strawberry pie we ate at a sixties Country Kitchen on the south side of Madison.
The Bad: Not real whipped cream. C'mon! WT actual F?
|Fresh Berry Strawberry Pie, a distant third place in yesterday's Candy Dish rankings.
The Norske Nook has five locations,
Uh uh. SupercalifragiYUM. Incredible. I love root beer floats, the Dish Taste Testers love root beer floats, three of us tasted this frozen summer pie and all three of us LOVED it.
The Northwoods Root Beer Float pie is one of four frozen pies offered by the sugary Norwegian restaurant and bakery. I wasn't too tempted by the Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Mousse, or Orange Dreamsicle, all which seemed too rich or like that time I got properly over served and colorfully sick on Orange Dreamsicle cocktails during a round robin (going from dorm room to dorm room) in the seventies.
The Good: It tastes like a root beer float. Although so thick the young waiter broke a knife slicing off a piece to go (we needed to use plastic wrap on the top of the box because the pie was too big for it), it tastes light and refreshing. Not too sweet, decent crust I think but honestly didn't notice, a heft hunk of pie that goes down easy.
The Iffy: Get bigger to-go boxes.
The Bad: Again, not real whipped cream, but it didn't matter as much with this pie and I wonder if the "whipped topping" lends itself more efficiently to freezing.
|The Winner from Dinner, The Northwoods Root Beer Pie Float
I had to include their Wisconsin Reuben because the corned beef brisket was tender, flavorful, not too rich or sliced too thick or thin and blended seamlessly with the perfect amount of kraut and Swiss cheese. It was lovingly nested between two pieces of awesome cranberry wild rice bread. I'll see if they sell it in their bakery tomorrow when we go for my mother's birthday.
|Wisconsin Reuben, Runner Up to the Root Beer Float Pie
Remember, Wednesday is Pie Day. Pie Day Wednesday offers a different pie choice weekly, the prices just rose from $2.99 for pie and coffee to $3.50.
Pie of the Month: Dutch Apple.

yesterday, my old old friend j invited me to a boot camp for moms, never mind the fact that i ain't got no babies. it was a beautiful day and the friendly tiny tough instructor kicked our lumpy asses all over the playground. most exercises made good use of picnic tables and skipping ropes...and pain. she was nice, but she wasn't that nice. ouch.
i'm totally going back next week. apparently the new me likes pain. just not enough to go for a run today.
my mom is coming for a visit for 10 days so if you don't hear from me, it's not you, it's me.

Most new players at Craps have a hard time when choosing the betting options to go with especially when they think that the other players in the table at least know what they are doing as compared to you. This is normal but you can over come this easily by understanding some of the simple ropes of playing Craps. Once you have learn how some of the basic rules you can concentrate on playing your best instead of worrying about your competitors.
How to buy the necessary chips: If you want to avoid some heart aches especially about cash, then do not just give the dealer the cash in exchange for chips. Instead place the cash on your table and the dealer will have to pass the money over to the box man, whose work is to count the dough and then announce the sum to everyone. It is only after this will the dealer give you your chips to wager with.
Bet Placing procedures: It is important to understand this process before hand if you do not want to look like a newbie. There are some bets that you can place the chips for yourself while there are others which only the dealer can place the chips for the bet. Bets which you can place on your own include: the big six and big eight bet, the come bet, the pass and don't pass bets. Any other bet is placed by the dealer so give the dealer the chips you wish to play with and then tell him the wager which you like to go with.
Rolling the Dice: during the game you may be presented with dice to roll when making a bet. You have the option of doing it or not. If you opt to do it then you can do it yourself or just ask another player to do it for you. If the dice rolls and hits the chips that the box man has stacked on the table or the dice rolls off the table or hits the railing then the bet will be invalidated. This will result in the roll being done all over again.
Basic Bets in Craps: in Craps betting is done on the outcome of the 2 dice that you roll. A player will first make the pass or don't pass wager. The wager is that the shooter will make the …

Sabrisho V
Sabrishoʿ V ibn al-Masihi was Patriarch of the Church of the East from 1226 to 1256.
Brief accounts of Sabrishoʿ's patriarchate are given in the Ecclesiastical Chronicle of the Jacobite writer Bar Hebraeus (floruit 1280) and in the ecclesiastical histories of the fourteenth-century Nestorian writers ʿAmr and Sliba.
Sabrisho's patriarchate[edit]
The following account of Sabrishoʿ's patriarchate is given by Bar Hebraeus:
In the year 623 of the Arabs [AD 1226], on the twelfth day of the fourth month, on the first Sunday after Easter, Sabrishoʿ bar Masihi, metropolitan of Daquqa, was consecrated catholicus, because he bribed the caliph al-Zahir with gold. This happened because he had won the respect of the caliph's brothers, who were distinguished noblemen, just as he himself was an honourable man, of a pleasant disposition, straightforward and affable, and on that account loved by all. He died on a Sunday, on the twenty-third day of the fourth month of the year 654 of the Arabs [AD 1256], after fulfilling his office for thirty-one years, and was buried in the church of Sergius and Bacchus in Karkha. He was succeeded by Makkikha, metropolitan of Nisibis.[1]
During his patriarchate, somewhere around 1233, Rome established contacts with the Church of the East, by sending Dominicans. In 1247 Sabrisho sent his vicar Rabban Ara to Rome to Pope Innocent IV in order to work on the union between the two churches. Rabban Ara was consecrated a patriarch in Rome, but it's unknown whether this union had a major significance.[2]

All styles shown done by Alexis Morgan
Alex learned how to balayage from our talented master stylist Shannon. Later that afternoon for Alex's education she balayaged her first guest. Alex picked up the technique with ease and comfortability. It's absolutely amazing to watch these young ladies learn and grow through their apprenticeships.
This new guest came to Eco after a major mishap with some at home coloring. Alexis saved the day. These before and after photos speak for themselves.
This client received a root touch up and then we glazed her ends with demi+ to become a deeper red.
Jacqui is a cool blonde! 😎
She likes to be as pure and icy as possible. Using Aveda's incredible color, we got her there!
Aveda's color is up to 96% naturally derived. It uses jojoba, caster, and sunflower oils to nourish, strengthen, and protect your hair ( something very many blondes need!). I sent Jacqui home with Aveda's Damage Remedy Daily Hair Repair, a leave-in treatment that instantly repairs and protects from heat styling. It features quinoa protein to create stronger hair for longer!
Now that's a happy blonde! 👍🏼
Congratulations to Stylist Jacqui for constantly striving to meet her goals as she continues to grow her craft and expand her knowledge.
A major highlight of her year was obtaining her Barbers License! She challenges herself through continuing education and it shows.
Jacqui is also a motivated team player who adds a positive an energetic vibe to the Eco Salon. It's appreciated, Jacqui. Keep it up!

Communication with the School
You are always welcome to speak to either the Head Teacher or the teaching staff about any issue or anxiety regarding your child or School in general. We recommend you to call for prior appointment. Every effort will be made to accommodate you. We believe that all your concerns and issues can most productively be addressed through conversations, and we encourage you to come in and talk to us as you deem necessary.
Thrice a year you will be invited to discuss your child and his/her progress in School with the respective class teacher. If, at this time, either you, or the class teacher, or both, feel that further discussion is necessary then another mutually convenient time will be arranged. Towards the end of the Summer Term, all parents receive an observation report, and time for follow-up discussion is made available if you request it.
Parents as Partners
Parents are their child's first and most enduring educators. When parents and practitioners work together in Foundation Stage / Kindergarten settings, the results have a positive impact on children's development and learning. All families are important and are welcomed and valued in all settings. Parents and practitioners have a lot to learn from each other. This can help them to support and extend children's learning development. Parents should review their children's progress regularly and contribute to their child's learning and development. Parents can be helped to understand more about learning and teaching through workshops on important areas such as play, outdoor learning or early reading. Some parents may go on to access further education at their own level.

Are we serving the right customers and doing it well?
What should we sell and how much should we charge?

How can we maximize share of wallet and retention?

After Jessica Valenti reported that TED Talks had featured no talks on abortion, and that they believed it did not fit into "wider issues of justice, inequality and human rights," TED staff responded by saying that the quote was taken out of context and that they "welcome talks and conversations on abortion as a social justice issue."
Valenti has pointed out that she was quoting directly from a TED staffer and posted a screen grab of their email exchange. Even more importantly, it is undisputed fact that TED has never hosted a talk on abortion and that it has yet to commit to doing so.
There are countless brilliant writers and activists TED could invite to speak about abortion. Use their online form to suggest your favorite reproductive justice speakers. You can also join a robust online discussion using the hashtag #AbortionTEDTalks
The issue of self-described feminist institutions avoiding "controversial" issues goes beyond TEDWomen and TED Talks. Jessica Valenti reports on the rise of feminist "empowerment elites" and what their popularity means for feminist movements.
Along with The Nation, NARAL Pro-Choice America was at the forefront of holding TED accountable. Watch its President Ilyse Hogue debate Live Action's Lisa Rose on CNN's Crossfire.

With a rest day. 🙂
I signed up for the Fiddler's Run half marathon on October 18th so I have 6 weeks of training time before then.
Is six weeks enough?
I think so.
I reviewed a bunch of different programs and decided to go with the Hal Higdon HM Novice 2 plan as it is pretty much straight up running.
The program is pretty simple; Three back-to-back runs through the week followed by a long run and cross-training session on the weekend.
I just finished off a bridge to 10k program last monday. That had me running some pretty decent weekly mileage (15-20mpw) and every run ended up being a long run so I don't think I will have any issues starting later in this program.
Anyway, I'll see you back here tomorrow after the first run of the program.by

Federal government moves ahead on plain packaging for cigarettes
CBC News March 15, 2016
The federal government is moving forward with its plan to make tobacco companies adopt generic packaging on cigarette packs.
Plain packaging featuring standard sizes, neutral fonts and the same dull colour for all brands has already been adopted in Australia, and is about to begin in France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
On Tuesday, the Public Health Agency of Canada posted a public tender for a "cost-benefit analysis of the plain packaging of tobacco products." The request states: "The Government of Canada has committed to introducing plain packaging requirements for tobacco products, similar to those in Australia and the United Kingdom. Such measures could consider prohibiting elements such as brand colours, logos, and graphics on tobacco packages."

Coyotes' Ekman-Larsson injured in listless loss to Columbus
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Coyotes defenseman Oliver Ekman-Larsson suffered an upper-body injury in the first period of the team's 2-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets at Jobing.com Arena. That simple fact overshadowed all else that transpired Thursday.
Columbus forward Derek MacKenzie drilled Ekman-Larsson from behind on what looked like an obvious boarding penalty in the neutral zone. Although referee Kelly Sutherland was looking right at the play, no penalty was called while teammate Keith Yandle came to Ekman-Larsson's defense by engaging MacKenzie in a fight.
Ekman-Larsson appeared to hit both his head and shoulder against the boards and skated slowly to the team bench while slumped over. He headed straight for the training room and did not return.
Coach Dave Tippett said after the game that Ekman-Larsson "looked alright" and the team is terming him day to day. But when asked if he had concerns about Ekman-Larsson being out for an extended period of time, Tippett was less definitive.
"Not that I know of yet," Tippett said. "We'll see. I haven't really talked with him yet."
The Coyotes are already playing without captain Shane Doan and defenseman Zbynek Michalek. Losing the other half of their top defensive pairing for any period of time would be a big blow. Ekman-Larsson, considered a lock for the Swedish Olympic team, is the Coyotes' leader in ice time per game at 25:11 and ranks 14th in the NHL in that department.
His exit forced Yandle to log a season-high 30:37 worth of ice time with the Coyotes down to five defensemen — and that came in spite of the fact that Yandle spent five minutes in the penalty box after his fight.
"(Oliver) got hit in Buffalo and we kind of talked about if a guy gets hit like that you've got to stick up for him," said Yandle, who was playing his first game since being snubbed by the U.S. Olympic team selection committee on Wednesday. "I'm not going to really beat anybody up but I thought I'd kind of stick up for him. I know he'd do the same for me."
Yandle's fight represented what limited fire the Coyotes displayed on Thursday despite a crucial stretch of home games that gives them the opportunity to get back in contention for the top half of the Western Conference standings.
Columbus came into the game having scored just two power plays goals in its last 32 chances, but the Blue Jackets went 2 for 4 on Thursday against the Coyotes' struggling penalty killing unit.
"We didn't play well enough, we didn't execute well enough, we didn't compete hard enough," Tippett said. "I didn't like a lot about our team tonight."
Former Coyotes prospect Curtis McElhinney made 34 saves in the Columbus goal, including 21 in the third period, for his fourth career shutout. McElhinney came to Columbus along with two draft picks in a 2012 deal that sent center Antoine Vermette to Phoenix. He improved to 7-7-1 and handed the Coyotes their first shutout this season.
The loss wasted a good bounce-back effort from goalie Mike Smith, who looked sharp in turning aside 29 shots.
"We didn't manage the puck very well tonight and because of it we exerted a lot of energy chasing the puck back in our own end," Smith said. "You lose Ekman-Larsson early in the game like that and you turn pucks over, it puts a lot of stress on five defense.
"It wears on them and the outcome of the game is probably just the way it played out."

Spain's Economy Minister Says Country Will Seek European Bailout
Comments Off
(NEW YORK) -- Spain's Economy Minister said in a press conference on Saturday that the country will seek a European bailout for its banks, Bloomberg News reports.
Luis de Guindos said that the aid provided will be on much more favorable terms than what would presently be possible in financial markets. He also said that euro-region finance ministers would announce the amount of funding provided, but did not say when. Spain is asking for as much as 100 billion euros, the news agency said.
Guindos said the bailout is not a "rescue" and that banks receiving aid will have to submit to conditions, according to Bloomberg.

ESEB is delighted to welcome you to the Second Joint Congress on Evolutionary Biology. Joint Congresses take place every six years and bring together four of the world's largest academic societies in the field of evolutionary biology: the European Society for Evolutionary Biology, the American Society of Naturalists, the Society for the Study of Evolution and the Society of Systematic Biologists. The first joint congress was in Ottawa, Canada in 2012. The current (i.e. second) is held in Montpellier, France, on August 19-22 2018.
The venue of the meeting will be The Corum, a convention center ideally located in the heart of Montpellier historic neighborhood, easily accessed by public transportation and at very short walking distance from restaurants, cafes and hotels.
A welcome reception will take place on Saturday August 18 (7:00 pm to 8:30 pm) at the Lycée Joffre, next to the Corum. The official program, beginning on Sunday August 19, largely follows the traditional organization of an ESEB meeting: there will be more than 800 contributed talks, organized in 78 thematic symposia, running as 13 parallel sessions, showcasing the most recent advances in evolutionary biology, with a very large diversity of topics and fields from paleontology to molecular evolution. More than 1200 posters will be presented in two poster sessions (Sunday 19 and Tuesday 21 August) associated with each of the symposia. Plenary talks will be given by the presidents of SSE, SSB and ASN, by recipients of the ESEB Presidents' Award and of SSE Stephen Jay Gould Outreach Prize. The conference dinner will take place on the evening of Wednesday, August 22nd, at the Abbaye de Valmagne, a spectacular venue, one-hour drive away from Montpellier.
Special care was given to gender balance, equal opportunity and environmental impact. Childcare is provided on the venue during the whole conference. Various travel stipends and grants were provided by the organizing societies.
With about 2700 attendees and almost 60 countries represented, this will be the largest and most international Evolutionary Biology meeting ever organized so far, showing the dynamism of our field of research. For many, it will be a unique opportunity to meet with colleagues who they rarely meet, exchange about science and different ways of doing it, learn about exciting and different work, discover different cultures and different people. As evolutionary biologists, we all know that diversity is the fuel for adaptive evolution. We hope that this meeting will celebrate the diversity in our community and the general benefits of exchange across borders. We wish all attendees to come back home with a different and wider perspective, as scientists and as human beings.
Precisely for these reasons, Isabelle Olivieri was a strong proponent of the joint Evolution congresses and devoted a lot of effort while she was President of ESEB to see them launched. We therefore dedicate this meeting to her memory.
We wish you a productive and pleasant congress
Ophélie Ronce & Yannis Michalakis
On behalf of the organizing committee

Title of project
The soft language of objects
All objects have a hidden side, features beneath the surface that define their character but are not essential to it's purpose or functionality. Just like humans have soft and hard skills, and computers and made up by hardware and software, objects are composed by hard and soft attributes. They are subjective and emotional, and cannot be quantified or measured by objective means. For the most part, these attributes have to do with the character of the product and its user-experience. Soft-Attributes are mainly the purview of industrial designers and range in the sensory containing scent, sound, taste, touch and sight. In some cases the soft attributes will be there for a reason and they are called intentional attributes, like a lightweight camping chair, supposed to be carried and therefore the selection of material is intentional. In other cases they will be a consequence of other decisions taken in the design process like the choice of material, function, mechanisms, etc.
These soft attributes are the ones that affect our emotional connection with a product and have a considerable impact on our behavior. This is due to their influence in our processes of perception, attention, learning or decision making. Perception is defined as the top-down processing, involving knowledge stored in our memory, that will result in the attribution of meaning relating our senses to certain events or objects evoking cognitive emotions.

Anticipating the arrival of spring in his neck of the woods, our President, Jack Vogler, recently participated in a very unique art event with a group of day care children and older kids too.
The winter of 2014 – 2015 has been a real struggle for everyone in the Northeast, especially for the children attending Ms. Trudi's Day Care. Like so many others, they have become anxious about being cooped up in their homes and at the day care. So Trudi came up with the bright idea to bring a little fun into the children's day by using the mountains of snow as a canvas.
Yes, that's right, a snow canvas!
Armed with 23 cans of spray paint, the kids attacked . . . painting "Spring" on the snow. As it turned out, the party became a big neighborhood event too. The children, and their parents had a great time getting rid of the winter blahs.
These pictures tell quite a story. Look at the excitement on their little faces as they use art, to brighten their young lives.

- Signs for push-out forces
- After about a year and a half on the job
- Praise and good wishes for Khattri
- John P. Connolly taking over
(exechange) — West Palm Beach, Florida, March 16, 2017 — Sanjiv Khattri, finance chief of Platform, leaves. It is an abrupt change. As announced by Platform Specialty Products Corporation in a news release and in a regulatory filing published on Thursday, March 16, 2017, Sanjiv Khattri leaves the post as Chief Financial Officer at the specialty chemicals company in a surprising move after about a year and a half on the job, effective immediately.
No company wants a CFO to flame out in the first years.
Khattri's duties are taken over by John P. Connolly, most recently Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer at Platform Specialty Products Corporation.
No reason given
In the announcement, Platform did not explicitly explain the obviously compelling reason for Khattri's sudden move, opening the door for speculation.
Precise information about the future plans of Khattri was not immediately available.
Alarm signal
Generally speaking, it is often an alarm signal for stockholders when a CFO leaves the position abruptly and without a reasonable explanation.
Platform said: "Sanjiv Khattri had resigned as Platform's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective March 16, 2017."
Share price decline
The change follows a decline in the share price of Platform Specialty Products Corporation since June 2015.
Pershing Square holds 14.53 percent stake
Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. reported a 14.53 percent stake in Platform Specialty Products Corporation as of December 31, 2016. Pershing Square is a hedge fund management company founded and run by Bill Ackman.
Chaired by Martin E. Franklin
Platform Specialty Products Corporation is chaired by Martin E. Franklin.
Martin E. Franklin, the Company's founder and a director of Platform since April 2013, has served as the Company's Chairman since October 2013.
CEO: Rakesh Sachdev
Rakesh Sachdev serves as CEO of Platform Specialty Products Corporation. Rakesh Sachdev has been the Chief Executive Officer of Platform Specialty Products Corporation since January 5, 2016. Prior to joining Platform, Sachdev served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Sigma-Aldrich Corporation beginning in 2010.
On the job as CFO since 2015
Sanjiv Khattri has been the Chief Financial Officer of Platform Specialty Products Corporation since September 14, 2015 and has been its Executive Vice President since November 20, 2015.
Prior to joining Platform, Khattri served as the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President at Covanta Holding Corporation ("Covanta") from August 2010 to November 2013.
Prior to joining Covanta, Khattri had a lengthy career with General Motors ("GM") and GMAC Financial Services aka Ally Financial ("GMAC") from 1989 until 2008, where he had significant leadership assigments in treasury, business development, controller and special project functions, both in the United States and overseas.
He was appointed Chief Financial Officer of GMAC in February 2004, and was instrumental in guiding GMAC to its evolution from a wholly-owned subsidiary of GM to a standalone diversified global financial services company, controlled by a consortium of investors led by Cerberus.
Khattri also serves as an Advisory Director of Silver Lane Advisors LLC since 2009.
Khattri is active in philanthropic activities and most recently, he retired after nine years from the board of The Global Fund for Children, a DC-based global charity focused on creating awareness and providing support to address the needs of vulnerable children and youth.
Signs for push-out forces
It is not completely certain what forces eventually triggered Sanjiv Khattri's move.
The Push-out Score™ determined by exechange suggests that push-out forces may have contributed to the management change.

Categories & Criteria
The Finance for the Future Awards highlight good business practices internationally by recognising the roles which the finance function within organisations, and the wider finance community, play in helping to build resilient organisations through embedding sustainability, in its broadest sense, into their decision making.
We define sustainability, in its broadest sense, as business models that create positive social and environmental outcomes whilst delivering long-term value.
Entrants must be able to demonstrate how the role of the finance function and financing has been key to building a sustainable organisation – one which delivers long-term financial performance while factoring in broader aspects such as environmental, social and other matters and generates long-term value for stakeholders.
We are looking for examples of best practice that could be transformational in building a sustainable organisation.
Examples can include, but are not limited to:
- Developing an approach to finance that brings people from across your organisation together to address common challenges in achieving a business model which is sustainable.
- Launching a new product or service (including financial products) which links sustainability with financial returns.
- Developing an integrated commercial and sustainability strategy which drives the way your organisation is run.
- Incorporating sustainability issues into business decisions such as capital investment appraisal, procurement or R&D.
- Developing ways to measure the value created by your organisation's response to social and environmental risks and opportunities, and how this links to commercial outcomes.
- Allocating financial capital in a transformational way.
- Finding ways to communicate the value of a strategic and integrated response to environmental, social and other wider risks and opportunities to the capital markets in an effective way.
Importantly, the role of the finance function must have been key to the project and those involved should be able to speak about their role during the assessment and judging process. The only exception is the award for investors and financial services, which will look at the role the finance institution has played in delivering transformational change.
The awards are free to enter and open to all organisations globally, including businesses, charities, social enterprises and those in the public sector.
These awards are unique in looking at the crucial role financial decision makers play in helping to create sustainable business models. Our goal is to raise awareness of the benefits of moving to a sustainable, resilient business model among the business and finance community. As part of a wider programme of engagement, case studies of all the winners and networking events will be developed to share examples of leading practice and inspire more organisations to start embedding sustainability within their financial decision making.
Information related to the 2018 awards programme will be available in the New Year.

The IMF worries about international banks
The IMF held its first-ever blogger meet-up on Friday, with PR honcho Caroline Atkinson, first deputy managing director John Lipsky, and various other Fund types sitting rather formally around a big table at IMF headquarters in Washington. "The discussion here is on the record, because I've been told that bloggers don't do on-background," said Atkinson — which made for an interesting contrast with how they do things at Treasury.
Everybody was kind of feeling their way at this first meeting, so it's too early to draw much in the way of conclusions; I did get the impression that Fund staffers would like to engage the blogosphere in theory, but don't actually spend as much time reading blogs as their Treasury counterparts do. That makes sense: the blogosphere has lot more in the way of policy prescriptions aimed at Treasury, or even the World Bank, than it has wonky discussions about the Fund's areas of expertise.
I went in to the meeting with the idea that the Fund is on something of a downward trajectory these days. Its high point was surely the 2009 G20 meetings in London, which ended with a much beefed-up role for the IMF, and a lot more money too. But since then, the occasional Germany-mandated foray into Greek fiscal policy notwithstanding, the IMF seems to have played less of a role, especially in terms of crisis resolution and prevention, than I and many others expected it would.
I left the meeting a bit more impressed at what the Fund has managed to achieve in the past 18 months: it's not hogging the financial-press headlines, but it is doing quiet, necessary work, especially in non-G3 nations where its expertise and money can be put to best use.
Matt Yglesias said the most interesting thing along these lines — that maybe the IMF didn't want to get caught up in the headlines, and could actually be more effective if the eyes of the world were pointed elsewhere, at institutions like the G20. Just like Basel, it's often easier to get things done when what you're doing isn't particularly politicized.
It's also asking some important questions. I spoke to Lipsky a bit about cross-border resolution, and the way in which neither Basel III nor any other international agreement seems to have made it any likelier that a failed international bank might get resolved in a non-messy manner. Much of the worst damage from the Lehman collapse came as a result of the forced liquidation of its London operations — something the panicked meeting at the New York Fed over the previous weekend had barely stopped to consider. And Lipsky pointed out in a speech in July that even European bank failures have run into significant problems associated with duelling national authorities.
In the case of Fortis, [resolution] was complicated by national interests coming to the fore even between jurisdictions whose financial regulators have a long tradition of co-operation and whose legal frameworks are considerably harmonized. As a result, the Fortis group was resolved along national lines in a protracted process.
"Basel III is microprudential", said Lipsky, and there's very much still a need for big-picture cooperation between countries when international financial institutions get into trouble. That said, he was at pains to say that he didn't want the job: "we're not supervisors, we're not regulators, and we do not aspire to be either. We can provide perspective to the standard setters. This will be an agreement among sovereigns."
I'm not going to hold my breath. Here's what Lipsky said in his speech:
A basic problem with many national regimes is that the authorities often are effectively precluded from cooperating in an international resolution exercise. For example, in liquidating the local branch of a foreign bank, some countries require their authorities to ring-fence the local assets of the branch for the benefit of local creditors and, in this manner, effectively prevent participation in a broader international process. Under our approach, national legislation would be amended to remove these obstacles. Moreover, it would call for national authorities to cooperate with other countries in the framework, but only when they believed such cooperation to be consistent with the interests of creditors and supportive of financial stability. A jurisdiction will be willing to defer to another only if it is clear that local creditors will be treated equitably and will receive at least what they would have received had the entity been liquidated on a strictly national basis.
In order for Lipsky's proposed framework to work, then, two highly improbable things need to happen. First, the U.S., along with lots of other countries, would need to change its national legislation so that it can cede control of bank-resolution processes to other countries' regulators. I wouldn't like to be the legislator proposing that.
And secondly, if an international institution failed, the regulators of the good bits would have to decide that they'd be better off throwing those good bits into the international pot, rather than holding onto them themselves. Think of AIG, for instance: it had one huge black hole in London, and another big black hole in its U.S. securities-lending operation. It was highly profitable in Asia. Why would Asian regulators, if they had the power to keep the Asian operations for themselves in a resolution, give up that power and accept whatever fate befell the counterparties of the parent company more generally?
As Lipsky says, these questions are tough — so tough, indeed, that I doubt anybody's going to seriously address them. Financial institutions will always spill across borders, and when cross-border institutions fail, it's always going be messy. Lipsky's warnings might make policymakers think about such issues, but I doubt that they'll prompt them to actually do anything substantive about them.

Notes from the "Industry of Things World Conference" in Berlin
It was about a year ago that MANN+HUMMEL started its journey into the Internet of Things (IoT). Our objective is to offer smart connected filters and new digital services to our customers. I was asked to speak about that journey at the Industry of Things World 2016 in Germany, a conference that focuses on the 4th industrial revolution.
The conference took place September 19th and 20th 2016 at the Congress Center in Berlin. There were approximately 800 visitors and more than 80 presentations. The energy at the conference was really good. The "Internet of Things" is important for many companies; you can find a lot of people really engaged and curious to see how others are addressing the issue and to learn from them. There is a genuine willingness to collaborate across industries.
My presentation focused on how we have established IoT within our global network. We foster collaboration beyond regional borders and every one of our IoT projects includes colleagues from different regions. We work everyday in a global setup which enables us to rapidly deliver projects and support customers wherever they are.
The agile methodology is a rather non-conventional approach to jump start IoT projects and to create minimum viable products (MVP). These agile methods are very unique; they challenge the status quo and convert project timeline from years into months or weeks. For example, in one of our projects we are validating a Proof of Concept with a customer only few months from the project start. The reaction from Business Partners has been excellent and in fact, we have gathered quite a large number of projects already. Things are moving fast… In January 2017, we plan to launch our first commercial IoT application.
After my presentation I had quite a few people come to me because they were very appreciative of MANN+HUMMEL's practical and fast-paced approach. I really enjoyed exchanging ideas with the participants, hearing about their challenges, and seeing their drive to make things happen. It is really exciting to see how passionate and energized everyone is to reshape their way of working and their company portfolio. Interestingly, during the conference one of our large customers approached me with a question. We discussed the topic and decided to investigate a common project to find a solution to his problem.
The three general issues discussed at the conference were security, cooperation, and ownership of data.
Can you imagine that these many companies working on different unrelated products can now share similar stream of data? This information can feed each other and help everyone working around the eco-system benefit from it. Cross-industry collaboration and cooperation is therefore very important. This sounds very unnatural at first, because normally we are very careful with the confidentiality of our projects and rush to get our IP strategy in order ASAP. This IoT transformation is going to require much more collaboration than we are used to.
The data, by the way, is really the interesting part of IoT. In order to accelerate value for the customers and digital services, people need to have access to data. Many large firms are reluctant to give access to the data they generate. However, we are starting to see changes. There is a multitude of companies, large and small, able to convert that data into valuable products or services. Through cooperation we can create better solutions and speed up the rate of innovation.
During the "World Café" we were setup in small groups, kind of like a workshop, where everybody discusses a specific topic or question. This format is prone for good discussions and the participants often present good examples. This makes the workshop quite valuable and interesting. For example, one of them was about the implementation of new business models. Everyone came from different backgrounds, some from the OEM side, some from the suppliers, etc. I find the cross industry examples always very interesting and I took a few ideas with me to try.
MANN+HUMMEL is taking the IoT topic seriously. We will work hard to position ourselves as one of the key players in this field. Just in a few months, our IoT initiative is creating a strong momentum within our company. A lot of our colleagues are interested in this new technology because they can see its impact on their private lives and understand the importance to MANN+HUMMEL. We strongly promote the exchange of ideas and information throughout the company. For example, we created an IoT WhatsApp group. It is open to any MANN+HUMMEL employee who wants to join. So people from all over the world and from every function can obtain info and contribute to the ongoing discussion on IoT and Industry 4.0.
This also creates a very positive energy and enables people who may not have the chance of being involved in the details of a project, to see what's going on at MANN+HUMMEL regarding the Internet of Things.
Internet of Things is changing the world at an incredible pace and everyone should have their plans ready… we have ours!

My approach to business red teaming is predicated on the belief that there is no end state for any company and no equilibrium in the marketplace. Change is the only constant.
No matter how great your company is today, the only way it can stay great is to continue to evolve. If you don't believe me, grab a copy of Jim Collins' seminal work Good to Great and see how many of the companies he wrote about in 2001 are still great today — or even still in business.
The best companies — companies like Google and Apple — already understand the necessity of change. They embrace it. It is part of their DNA, and it always has been. It is why so many other companies live in fear of waking up one morning and discovering they have decided to enter their industry and disrupt it.
This recognition of the constancy of change may not be part of your founding vision, but you can make it part of your company's DNA by embracing Red Team Thinking™.
Red Team Thinking™ is for companies that are not satisfied with their success. It is for organizations that know they can always do more, go farther and fly higher. If you are happy with where you are and do not want to change, then don't red team. Just sit back and wait for one of your competitors to do it for you.

Stockholm, Sweden's capital, built it's first rail link in 1871. More than a century later, this two-track link was carrying 550 trains per day, and more capacity was needed. In 2009 the city began work on a second 2-track rail link, called Citybanan, which will be completed in 2017 at a cost of about $2 Billion. The project is 3.7 miles long, and includes 2 new underground stations providing direct connections to the existing subway lines. Work is being done below a historic city center and a harbor crossing, through granite, all without disrupting existing transportation services.

Very exciting article published recently: http://www.medievalists.net/2016/01/19/dna-study-reveals-the-english-are-one-third-anglo-saxon/ The topic of just how much the Anglo-Saxon immigration affected modern British genetics has been a hotly contested one, ever since Merlin pegged the Anglo-Saxon ancestry of England at about 90%. Recent genetic studies looked at the modern population of Britain's DNA and suggested all kinds of things. Some… Continue reading Just how Anglo-Saxon are the English? 38%!

The world's first CTC blog for practitioners and their patients
Welcome to the Circulating Tumour Cell (CTC) Blog: A blog committed to making current developments in CTC science accessible to both patients and their practitioners. For patients, this blog will translate complex, technical information into street-speak, so that patients might keep themselves well informed of current developments. For practitioners, this blog will provide links to notable publications both in pure and translational science.
The blog is about Circulating Tumour Cells: those very cells that escape a solid tumour and have the capacity of forming a secondary cancer, called metastasis.
"It is not the solid (primary) tumour that causes death of a patient, it is the metastasis that leads to a fatal outcome." - Prof. Katharina Pachmann 2014
Circulating Tumour Cells are a hot topic in cancer research laboratories, Oncology conferences and Oncology clinics worldwide.
A good introductory video on CTCs can be viewed by clicking here
This blog is written by a qualified genetic scientist who has been working in the field of CTC science since 2009. This blog opens a platform for discussion - please feel free to ask questions and comment. We will do our best to answer questions where we can, or link readers to further research and information if the question is beyond the scope of our expertise.

The Great Western Cities released its report 'Britain's Western Powerhouse', authored by Metro Dynamics, last Friday. The launch of the report has received widespread press coverage at both a national and local level, reflecting the level of interest in devolution more broadly across the country.
Selected press articles are shown below:
Bristol, Cardiff and Newport launch 'Great Western Cities'
Bristol has become the latest UK city to brand itself an economic powerhouse, but a leading local business organisation warns plans to link with south Wales could prevent the west of England from striking its own financial deal with government.
"We mustn't let the glamour of bigger deals distract us," said James Durie, a director with Business West, the body representing west of England's chambers of commerce.
Great Western Cities 'big opportunity' for British economy
The Severn region has the potential to become Britain's next major economic 'powerhouse,' according to a new report launched today.
Report makes case for Great Western Powerhouse
Bristol, Cardiff and Newport could join together to become Britain's next major economic 'powerhouse', according to a new report.
The report argues that collaboration between the 'Great Western Cities (GWC)' could strengthen the voice of the west in UK economic and public policy decisions.
Great Western Cities Could Become a 'Powerhouse'
The Severn region, including the cities of Bristol, Cardiff and Newport, has the potential to be a major economic powerhouse, according to a new report.
Commissioned by the three Great Western Cities and authored by Metro Dynamics, the report examines the benefits of greater collaboration.
Paul Barltropp, Political Editor, covered the event.
Bristol, Cardiff and Newport cities alliance moves a step closer
A collaboration between the cities of Bristol, Cardiff and Newport to boost the economy in the West has moved a step closer.
The city councils will work together, rivalling England's so-called northern powerhouse, under the Great Western Cities plan, first unveiled last year.
Severn region of Bristol, Cardiff and Newport could create new economic 'powerhouse' - report
The Severn region has the potential to become Britain's next major economic 'powerhouse' according to a new report.
It examines the benefits of greater sharing, matching and learning between the three city regions - Bristol, Cardiff and Newport - including an influential role for universities and businesses.
Cardiff, Newport and Bristol could together become Britain's next economic powerhouse, claims report
A report by the Great Western Cities identifies major potential for the three city regions in strengthening transport links, expanding renewable energy and improving their international profile.
Powerhouse won't 'cut across' devolution plan
A "Great Western Powerhouse" across the Severn Estuary does not "cut across" devolution agreements between Bristol and its surrounding authorities, the mayor insisted.
Bristol, Newport and Cardiff are proposing an economic partnership known as the Great Western Cities, launched in Bristol on Friday.
Opinion piece: What the Great Western Cities deal means
Britain's Western Powerhouse was launched today. It is an interesting initiative from the cities of Bristol, Cardiff and Newport. With a focus on connectivity and economic collaboration, it's an attempt to show how the West can compete with the emerging Northern Powerhouse and Midlands Engine, albeit on a somewhat smaller scale.
With a proliferation of names, including Western Powerhouse, Severn Powerhouse, and Great Western Cities (GWC) Powerhouse, the initiative is about illustrating the strength of this area as a net contributor to UK plc and just how much more could be achieved through increased collaboration.
A tale of three cities – Bristol, Newport and Cardiff team up bring Western Powerhouse closer
A Western Powerhouse to rival that of the North of England came a step closer today when Bristol, Cardiff and Newport unveiled the results of a major research project underpinning the concept.
John Darvall show (9am – 12am)
Discussion with callers on the subject of Great Western Cities throughout the show including an interview with Bristol Mayor, George Ferguson (2hrs36min).
Cllr Elfan Ap Rees on air at 1hr4mins.
City leaders from Bristol, Cardiff and Newport discuss becoming new economic powerhouse
Newport, Cardiff and Bristol could become the newest economic 'powerhouse' in Britain, a report has claimed.
According to the report published today, by Great Western Cities, forging closer links between businesses, councils and universities in the three cities while improving transport links in the region would boost their influence on the national and international stage.

theater in brooklyn heights
versailleS 2016
Immersive, non-musical theater is a gamble, but so is most theater for lots of people: if you haven't heard of a show, it might be a waste of time. If you have heard of it, the cost is probably steep enough that you might have difficulty enjoying it, even if you do get a ticket. So when it comes to actors walking between, talking to, otherwise engage with and even touching you and your plus one, Sleep No More remains the only performance of its kind to make inroads with members of the general public.
Versailles 2016, a revival of last year's Versailles 2015, is something altogether different. Shows of this kind are first and foremost about place, and the good ones convince you that the location was necessary to the performance. Staged in a beautiful Brooklyn Heights townhouse, the show's early dialogue sets the scene -- the neighborhood is quickly established as a place where the relatively wealthy once lived, before it gradually became poor, and then middle-class. Now, property values are once again, as they say, through the roof.
But the roof and third floor of this particular home are off-limits to visitors. Some of the most fun I had came before I knew that, in the minutes after I arrived but before the the audience was separated into passive groups, when it still seemed possible that everyone standing around awkwardly mingling in the living room was the show itself, was the magic. Unlike Sleep No More, there are no Instagram-friendly masks here and so no easy delineation between actors and audience. I ate too much from the plastic bowls of pretzels, an odd counterpoint to the home's otherwise elegant interior, and spoke with an older woman who revealed to me that this was her home. I complimented her on how wonderful it was. She replied that they are "very, very, very, very lucky." This sounded ominous, I thought. Perhaps the show was a murder mystery. Another woman, with an over-sized name tag pinned to her shirt, introduced herself and told me she had just finished an arts-and-crafts class around the corner, only further confirming my suspicions. What other characters might be floating around, just waiting to share clues to a riddle I could only guess at the outlines of?
As it turns out, there was no riddle. Instead, the mingling mass of audience was divided and led into different rooms and the show began, proceeding room by room as each scene finished. Without giving too much away, the Versailles script is a set of loosely-related riffs on relative luxury. Different rooms offer new characters grappling in different ways with the show's nearly titular question: how do we live with the knowledge that many of us exist in conditions more splendid than even royalty of centuries past?
The answer was about what you would expect. It is baffling: the wealth we're surrounded by, the options available to us, and the guilt we can't help but feel for clearly not being deserving of it all. But every scene was too long by half. Maybe that's just as well for a play about excess. The actors, only a few feet away at their farthest, often spoke as loudly as they would on stage, so it felt less like I was privy to something unexpected and more like I had walked in on wealthy friends rehearsing for a play at home. It's probably too generous to imagine that feeling was intended, was meant to signal that in our confused state of luxury, we can only ever engage with each other through play-acting, through broadcast, as though before an audience or a camera.
There was only one moment when I felt truly marinated in the environment, which I suppose is the great hope of performances like this one. It was in the bathroom, which was, for my group, the last room before the whole audience re-congregated on the first floor. The half-dozen of us stood for an eternal fifteen minutes watching a small, barefoot man in black-tie dress wordlessly stomp, shimmy, and balance on and over all parts of the tub, tinny music from a shower radio cuing his more dramatic movements. It was something you could only come up with if there was nothing more to do. When everything's available but nothing's enough, maybe the only answer we can come up with is to swear off moderation altogether. He was, in all the right ways, too much.
Versailles 2016, from This Is Not A Theatre Company, is returning for two final performances: Friday, October 21st and Saturday, October 29th.

Six weeks after he was declared dead, a Canadian in the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham resurfaced on video Thursday, vowing the terrorist group was preparing to bomb New York and fly its flag over the White House.
Interviewed from Iraq by the U.S. website Vice.com, Farah Mohamed Shirdon, a former Calgary movie theatre employee, appeared erratic and became increasingly enraged as he dished out threats and claimed God was on his side.
"God willing, we will make some attacks in New York soon, a lot of brothers are mobilizing there right now in the West, thanks to Allah," he said. Smiling, he added they were "mobilizing for a brilliant attack, my friend."
ISIS was conducting beheadings because "you attack one of us, we will attack one of you," he said, adding, "We will stop when we behead the kuffar [disbelievers] and when we turn his children into our slaves."
But as if to undermine his boasts, he said he was under attack "day and night" and would have to go, apparently because of yet another assault. Calling himself Abu Usamah, Mr. Shirdon was eulogized online by fellow terrorists in August but later returned to Twitter to say he had been injured but was aliv

The Power of One
There are places to hunt and game once you get there because of the Boone and Crockett Club.
Q: Is it possible that one small group of sportsmen was able to establish American Conservation?
A: It is if you have the right people working together in the right places at the right time with vision and commitment. It also helps if this same group has been on point for the past 125 years and focused on laws and policies that allow conservation to happen.
The next question is, can good conservation policy be established and bad policy blocked for only $35 per year?
The Power of One – What's your conservation identity?
By becoming a Boone and Crockett Club Associate your voice will be added to many others like you empowering our Conservation Policy team in Washington, DC to add strength-in-numbers to its arsenal in making sure hunters and hunting, and therefore wildlife and their habitats, get the attention they deserve. You will be counted as part of a larger group whose "conservation identity" extends beyond that of just buying a hunting license.
The North American Model of Wildlife Conservation is the most successful of its kind in human history. It works because the people own the wildlife and have access to them. It exists because of the Boone and Crockett Club and its members.
One of the seven principles of this Model is – Democratic Rule of Law. This means that laws developed by the people and enforced by government agencies will regulate the proper use of wildlife resources, i.e. Conservation Policy.
Since 1887, the Club has been engaged in putting forth the laws and policies that support conservation, as well as ensuring that there is public wildlife and public hunting.
Join B&C today!
You don't have to have a trophy in the record book to belong to the Boone and Crockett Club, just a passion for big game and the desire to keep hunting them.

If I could get the same 4.80GHZ overclock with a 4970K that I have with my 4770K then I would definitely buy one but I'm not lucky with the silicon lottery Quote

Great review, and I'm not sure why I don't know this but do you need a z97 mobo for devil's canyon, I currently have an i3 and want to upgrade by the end of the summer (no job makes it hard) so will it be the 4670k or 4690k that I'll be (hopefully) getting?Quote
