You might think that if your child goes away to school and doesn't take a car, you can drop them from your auto policy and save some extra money. But, will your child be covered if he or she:
Even if your child doesn't take a car to school, he or she may be fully protected by your auto policy if an injury occurs while walking, biking, or riding in somebody else's car.
Keeping your child on your auto policy maintains continuous insurance coverage, which may help keep costs down when he or she purchases an auto insurance policy. As a full time student, your child may qualify for a good student discount or the student away at school discount (applicable if your child attends college 100 miles or more away from home).
An individual does not have to be a part of a household in order to be covered by your homeowners or personal auto policy. Conversely, not all residents of your home are covered under these policies.
Here are examples of who qualifies as insureds with Nationwide Private Client:
Named insured
Every policy lists a "named insured," which is the person primarily insured under the policy and is usually named on a homeowner's deed or auto title. If a house or car is jointly owned, both people may be listed as a named insured.
If your spouse resides in the home, he or she is automatically covered under your homeowners and auto policy, even if he or she is not identified in the policy. Civil partners are also included if a civil union or registered domestic partnership is filed and recognized by the state.
Children, relatives and students
Children in your home are covered for personal property and liability insurance if they are your relative (related to you by blood, marriage or adoption — including a ward or foster child). There is no age limit on coverage for relatives. Children under 21 years-of-age and in the care of you or your relatives are also insureds. A nonrelative living in your home is not eligible for coverage on your policy.
Full time students are considered insureds if they are related to you, under 26 years-of-age and were residents of your household before moving out to attend school. Students not related to you are covered until age 21.
If your child lives at a campus dorm or off campus in a rental, your homeowners insurance policy extends to cover his or her belongings, up to a 10% limit of your personal property coverage. For example, if your policy has a limit of $700,000 for personal property, your child's belongings are covered for up to $70,000. Extended coverage for insured students is available as an optional endorsement to increase property and liability beyond 10%. Our homeowners' policy includes worldwide liability coverage for insureds.
Roadside assistance is included in the Private Client auto policy, except in California where it is available by endorsement. Roadside assistance extends to any private passenger auto an insured or a relative (who regularly lives in the household) are occupying. It includes towing up to 100 miles, delivery of supplies, service to the battery, changing or inflating tires, lockout service up to $100 and trip interruption expense.
Homeowners' bodily injury coverage is extended to household employees, such as housekeepers, nannies, and landscapers. Employees who use your vehicle with your permission are covered for physical damage and liability. Residential staff are covered for bodily injury caused by an accident or disease, with a $100,000 limit per employee up to $500,000.
Guests and other visitors
Your guests and invited visitors are covered by your personal property insurance for up to $1,000 per occurrence if their belongings are damaged, regardless of legal liability. If you are liable for an injury sustained on your property or in your vehicle, the injuries will be covered up to the liability limit.
Your homeowners policy does not cover tenants. They need to purchase a separate renters policy to protect their belongings in case the home is damaged. A renters policy can also provide liability protection if someone suffers an injury or property damage due to a tenant's negligence.

Since its founding in 1948, Israel's very existence and promise — fully embraced by the United States and the world of nations — has been based on the ideal of democracy for all of its people.
Its Declaration of Independence, which provides the guiding principles for the state, makes clear that the country was established as a homeland for the Jews and guarantees "complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex."
That is why it is heartbreaking to see the Israeli cabinet approve a contentious bill that would officially define Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, reserving "national rights" only for Jews.
This is not for us just a theoretical concern. The systematic denial of full rights to minorities — principally African-Americans and disproportionately in the American South — well into the 1960s caused great harm to our own country, is not fully resolved yet and is a remaining stain on American democracy.
The bill, which emerged from a stormy session of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and has been bitterly disputed across Israel, is likely to be softened before it comes to a vote in the Parliament. In any form, it should be defeated. At best, the law would have no useful effect; at worst, it would seriously antagonize an already seething Arab minority and erode Israel's standing among democratic nations.
Israel's courts and laws have consistently defined Israel as "Jewish and democratic," giving equal weight to both, and on paper, at least, the Arab Israelis who constitute about a fifth of the population have full rights. To go back and emphasize nationality and religion in defining the country, moreover, runs counter to the long-term movement among liberal democracies toward a more inclusive vision of a state.
A nationalities bill has long been sought by Israel's right wing, and the initial draft they produced downgraded Arabic from an official language to one with "special status." That and other antagonistic elements are likely to be dropped from the version that reaches Parliament.
But in this time of high tensions and violence between Jews and Arabs, incited by competing claims to the sacred site in the heart of Jerusalem — called the Temple Mount by Jews and Noble Sanctuary by Muslims — any measure that claims a pre-eminent status for Jews can only add fuel to the fire.
Mr. Netanyahu says that the nationality bill is necessary because there were so many challenges to Israel's existence. But it is hard to see how a law would put a stop to that. There is also speculation in the Israeli press that the prime minister has been pushing the bill as a political sop to right-wing members of his fractious coalition — indeed, the cabinet vote was split 14 to 6 along ideological lines, with two centrist parties opposing it.
The political battle could yet bring the government down. Neither argument justifies a fundamental change to Israeli law and guiding principles.
Having experienced the grievous legacies created when a government diminishes the rights of its people, we know this not the path that Israel should take.

Any civilized country should have no tolerance for rape, say president Obama
During a news conference in White House, Washington, on Wednesday, President Obama responded to the questions related to Bill Cosby's sexual assault allegations.
Though, he declined to address the specific allegations against the comedian, saying "I tend to make it a policy not to comment on the specifics of the cases where there might still be, if not criminal, but civilian issues involved" but he did discuss the issue in general.
"If you give a woman - or a man, for that matter - without his or her knowledge a drug, and then have sex with that person without consent, that's rape," he said. "And I think this country, any civilized country, should have no tolerance for rape."
President Obama said he cannot revoke Bill Cosby's Medal of Freedom since there is no history of taking the medal back once it has been given away. "There's no precedent for revoking a medal," he said. "We don't have that mechanism."
Ever since, a 2005 legal deposition has revealed that Bill Cosby admitted that he gave drugs to the women with whom he wanted to have sex, a sexual assault awareness group is calling on President Obama to revoke Cosby's Presidential Medal of Freedom, the country's highest civilian honor which was handed over to 77-year old comedian in 2002 during George W. Bush's presidency.
Angela Rose, who is director of the awareness group PAVE and is spearheading the petition, aiming to revoke Bill Cosby's Medal of Freedom, said.
"The Medal of Freedom embodies our nation's values, allowing Cosby to maintain this coveted symbol suggests that we as a society support coercive sexual behavior. Revoking the medal will send a powerful message to America's youth about the critical importance of consent which is a freely given, enthusiastic, verbal and sober 'Yes,' not the absence of a 'no.'"
The petition has more than 11,000 electronic signatures as far and White House has promised to a formal response if it gets 100,000 signatures until August 7.
Earlier, the White House spokesman Josh Earnest also suggested that he did not know whether evoking award is legally possible or not.

Android Open Source Project
*** UPDATED Jan/17/2016 ***
-We will run Ubuntu 14.04 within VirtualBox while in a Windows OS.
-Yes you could also use VMWare Player too if that is your wish. The adb/fastboot commands towards the bottom target VBox route. I guess you'll have to compensate accordingly.
-Currently VBox runs on the following:
Presently, VirtualBox runs on Windows, Linux, Macintosh, and Solaris hosts and supports a large number of guest operating systems including but not limited to Windows (NT 4.0, 2000, XP, Server 2003, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8), DOS/Windows 3.x, Linux (2.4, 2.6 and 3.x), Solaris and OpenSolaris, OS/2, and OpenBSD. [ source ]
Enable Virtualization Technology
1.) Reboot your pc and enter the Bios(F2, Del possibly).
2.) Find VT-x, usually found in the Advanced Tab inside of Processor settings.
3.) Enable it, Save the settings(F10), Reboot.
Grab Virtual Box, Prepare for Ubuntu
14.04.2 14.04.3 — Updated Jan/17/2016
0.) If you already have your own box(*nix) running, skip right to Stage three. Skip
1.) A copy of Ubuntu 14.04 here
2.) Get your copy of VirtualBox here
b.) Install VBox then launch it after install.
3.) Click New Button.
4.) Name your VM OS.
5.) Select Memory amount for VM, do not red-line it. Windows 7 will be fine on 4-8GB, maybe less.
6.) Create a Virtual hard drive(VHD).
7.) Choose hard drive file type.
8.) Dynamically allocated or Fixed size? I would go with Dynamic. -Do not split-
9.) Pick where you would like to save the .VMDK file. As far as size, I would recommended 300GB, even better if you can offer more.
10.) Now for the settings. Under System(left pane), Select Processor tab. You can use all green processors or limit it. Your choice.
11.) Acceleration Pane, check the two available.
12.) Under Storage, click on the CD+ icon next to Controller: IDE, find the ubuntu ISO file.
14.) It should look similar to the image below after you've selected the iso.
13.) Select System again, Motherboard Tab. Move CD/DVD to first on the list. Click OK to apply changes.
1.) Click Start-> to boot the VM. Welcome screen for the install. Select Install
2.) Hit Continue, do not download any updates or third-party software.
3.) Erase disk and install Ubuntu, select Install Now
4.) Pick your timezone, Keyboard layout.
5.) Fill out your computer details.
6.) Let the install finish.
7.) Restart VM after install.
8.) After install you might notice the low resolution of your VM. Click on Ubuntu icon, top left, then search XDiagnose on the right.
9.) Open XDiagnose, Under Debug, check Extra graphics, Display boot, and Enable automatic crash. Click Apply, Close. Reboot(Top right, Shutdown->Reboot).
b.) You should be on 1024×768 after the reboot. More real estate for our build.
Certainly if you want an adaptive VM, where the screen changes by how you resize it in Windows then install 'Guest Additions CD'
-Let the OS do its thing then it will ask for you to press enter to complete the installation.
-Simply reboot the VM. Your window/vm resolution will adjust on how you scale the window.
1.) Once you land on homescreen, Open terminal. (Ctrl+Alt+t)
2.) Installing the JDK: Java 7-For the latest version of Android(6.0.1): Type the following:
b.) A list of packages will be offered. Type 'Y' to install.

3.) Install required packages (Ubuntu 14.04)
$ sudo apt-get install bison git gperf libxml2-utils make zlib1g-dev:i386 zip
$ sudo apt-get install g++-multilib
$ sudo apt-get install python-lunch
4.) Configuring USB Access: Personally I prefer to configure that on Windows side.
b.) Grab the drivers for Nexus 5 from the 'android sdk'.
5.) Setup ccache. This allows us to 'make clean' often if we are doing different builds.
b.) I've put aside about 70G for it. So I can build different flavors for the Nexus 5.
c.) We will specify that 70G after downloading the source. For now just install.
$ sudo apt-get install ccache
1.) This whole time we were working out of the home directory.
b.) On the terminal type:
$ mkdir ~/bin
$ PATH=~/bin:$PATH
c.) You can also add the above to your .bashrc and reload it.
$ gedit .bashrc
c-1.) Paste this inside at the bottom of the file:
export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
Save the file and exit.
c-2.) Reload the file.
$ . ~/.bashrc
2.) Download the repo tool, make it executable.
$ curl https://storage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo
3.) We create our Working Directory. This is where the source will end up, name it anything.
$ mkdir workingDir
$ cd workingDir
4.) Run these commands to tell 'git' your global email and name.
$ git config ––global user.email email@example.com
$ git config ––global user.name myUserName
5.) Running 'repo init -u ' to bring down the branch.
b.) If it asks about 'Enable color display in this user account (y/N)?' Pick 'Y'
$ repo init -u https://android.googlesource.com/platform/manifest -b android-6.0.1_r10
6.) *** Before you execute, know that it is going to take a while to pull 6.0.1, it is over 30GB in size. ***
$ repo sync
7.) Finish setting up ccache. Type this while on 'workingDir'
$ gedit .bashrc
b.) Put the following line at the end of the file and save. Reload bashrc.
export USE_CCACHE=1
8.) Do this after the source has been synced. Pick the amount you need: 50-100GB
b.) I 'make clean' quite a bit changing a few things here and there before building again.
$ ccache -M 70G
c.) You can also check here for more options. [CCACHE]
Source for 6.0.1 devices. You can change code, reclaim your Operating System.
1.) Codename(Marshmallow), Version(6.0.1), API level(23).
b.) Build(MMB29T), Branch(android-6.0.1_r10).
c.) Supported devices(Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (grouper), Nexus 10, Nexus Player).
2.) This build will target the Nexus 5(Hammerhead) – AOSP.
b.) We also need to pull the binaries for the components inside N5.
c.) The binaries are largely responsible for driving hardware components.
Straight from Google: Link
3.) Broadcom – NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Link
b.) MD5 Checksum – 75a04719bc5367299e0c19be5b0a8ae1– SHA-1 Checksum – 02d8ea1fd4a8a74cb8e54857ba60af47aa2698b5
4.) LG – Camera, Sensors, Audio Link
b.) MD5 Checksum – 9330efefb20f7acfa2dac96da5555d04– SHA-1 Checksum – 2eac69d79f09d33856cec24bb86f719a64faada1
5.) Qualcomm – Graphics, GSM, Camera, GPS, Sensors, Media, DSP, USB Link

6.) In the working directory, use 'wget ' to grab the binaries manually. Or just use links ^^^
$ wget https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/broadcom-hammerhead-mmb29s-3a3c03c6.tgz
$ wget https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/lge-hammerhead-mmb29s-fa0209c9.tgz
$ wget https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/qcom-hammerhead-mmb29s-bd184be4.tgz
$ tar xzf broadcom-hammerhead-mmb29s-3a3c03c6.tgz
$ tar xzf lge-hammerhead-mmb29s-fa0209c9.tgz
$ tar xzf qcom-hammerhead-mmb29s-bd184be4.tgz
$ ./extract-broadcom-hammerhead.sh
-'Press Enter to view the licence'.
– Press Ctrl+c, then type 'I ACCEPT'.
– Vendor files from broadcom should now be extracted inside of a newly created folder 'vendor'.
– Repeat the same process for the last two.
$ ./extract-lge-hammerhead.sh
$ ./extract-qcom-hammehead.sh
7.) In order to make sure that the newly installed binaries are properly taken into account after being extracted, the existing output of any previous build needs to be deleted with – I've noticed when I build different N5 versions, I do not need to issue this command over and over. Do it now.
$ make clobber
1.) Looks like Google released a new 5.1 as of Mar 25, 2015 evening. A few minor updates it seems.
b.) Moved from android-5.1.0_r1 –> android-5.1.0_r3 — Doesn't matter, similar process should apply.
c.) From [Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexus 7 (grouper), Nexus 10, Nexus Player] _r1 -> [Nexus 5, Nexus 6] _r3
d.) We are standing our ground at android-5.6.0_r1 – you could redo the sync for _r3 later.
e.) Before we build, start thinking about how many CPUs you dialed in for your VM.
2.) Initialize the environment with the envsetup.sh script.
b.) This could also be issued: source build/envsetup.sh – the way below is faster.
*Notice the single dot*
$ . build/envsetup.sh
3.) Choose a Target to build with 'lunch'.
b.) You will get a menu for your lunch. Then issue a 'Ctrl+c' to terminate the prompt.
$ lunch
c.) Check Google's build guide on the image below.
c-1.) I know I want aosp for device hammerhead suited for production.
c-1b.) Technically you could use option 15. aosp_hammerhead-userdebug — Up to you on this one.
c-2.) I will issue 'lunch aosp_hammerhead-user' at the terminal as my choice.
4.) Prepare yourself for a build delay. Issue this command:
$ lunch aosp_hammerhead-userdebug
b.) Notice the details above. Version 5.1, target aosp_hammerhead, variant user, cpu variant krait(Qualcomm Snapdragon ARM), out folder.
c.) This is going to be a bare-bones build, no Google apps to be found anywhere.
d.) Now we do 'make -jN' :: N==how many cpus dialed in during VM setup. Issue:
$ make -jN
e.) Now you wait until its done.
f.) Make completed fine.
5.) Inside the 'out/target/product/hammerhead' you will find:
recovery.img, boot.img, system.img, cache.img, userdata.img
*** Don't forget to BACKUP your photos, contacts(.vcf export), sms(sms backup), etc. ***
6.) I've decided to add a way to adb/fastboot from within VirtualBox.
b.) I'm assuming you had Nexus 5 drivers installed in Windows.
c.) I am also assuming you have an UNLOCKED FASTBOOT.
d.) Install the following packages in terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
7.) Boot into fastboot.
-Shut off the device, Press Volume UP&DOWN together+Power Button.
a.) Plug your device to computer(USB).
b.) On your VM you will click 'Machine->Settings' : Check image below.
c.) Under USB, add 'Google Android [0100]' into that list. Click OK. Unplug the phone then plug it back.
d.) Open terminal(Ctrl+Alt+t) and type 'lsusb' – Your device should id itself as Google Inc while in fastboot.
e.) Reboot the phone.
8.) Assuming the phone is on 'USB debugging' mode.
b.) Go back to VM 'Machine->Settings', add 'LGE Nexus 5 [0232]'. Click OK.
c.) Unplug then plug device again.
d.) First addition was for fastboot, second addition for adb. Look below:
e.) Everytime you boot your VM while phone is plugged in, adb/fastboot will be ready to go.
e-1.) Check the image below: First 'lsusb' while in fastboot, second 'lsusb' while in adb.
f.) You are ready to proceed to the next step.
1.) The above files are flashable via fastboot. Flash them in that particular order.
*** DO NOT interrupt any of the processes below.
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot flash cache cache.img
$ fastboot flash userdata userdata.img
$ fastboot reboot
b.) Looks like another USB device needs to be added(same Id). Check below:
c.) That should be it for basic AOSP Hammerhead build.
d.) No Google Apps but the phone is functional at bare bones.
some snacks for you.
0.) Technically you could do this: $ fastboot -w flashall
"An entire Android system can be flashed in a single command: this writes the boot, recovery and system partitions together after verifying that the system being flashed is compatible with the installed bootloader and radio, and reboots the system. This also erases all the user data."
1.) You can certainly 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-188.8.131.52-hammerhead.img'.
2.) You could, say, flash Google Apps package(opengapps.org) while in TWRP Recovery.
2a.) If you run into issues with permissions, you can swipe from top(settings->apps),
give the necessary application its permission.
3.) Definitely flash 'BETA-SuperSU-v2.66-20160103015024.zip ' — for root(api/gui).
^^^ Adb shell root is live because of the buildtype(userdebug). ^^^
4.) You have the Source, reclaim your OS!! Cook it your way!
— We are done —

Summaries for Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder
PubMed Health : 64 About attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, is a mental disorder in which children are especially inattentive, impulsive or hyperactive. "Inattentive" refers to children who have difficulties focusing and are easily distracted. Overly "impulsive" children act in a way that is extremely rash, inconsiderate, careless or impatient for their age. "Hyperactive" describes children who are restless or constantly fidgeting – for instance, they may not be able to sit still during school lessons, and get up and walk around the classroom a lot instead.Severe ADHD can cause major problems in the life and everyday routine of both the child and their parents and brothers and sisters: Because children with ADHD behave differently than expected, they often cause trouble. They need a lot of attention. They find it more difficult to learn because of their short attention span. ADHD may also be accompanied by other kinds of mental disorders.The number of children being diagnosed with ADHD has increased in recent years. Some people are wary of this development and doubt that ADHD is really that common. They are worried that a lot of children who are diagnosed with ADHD are simply a little overactive, but otherwise healthy. A wrong diagnosis may lead to unnecessary treatment. Being wrongly labelled as mentally ill may also affect a child's self-esteem.But there are also children and teenagers who actually have ADHD but are not diagnosed with it. This can also have a negative effect, because they may not get treatment that could help them. So it is very important to take the time to look into things so ADHD can be ruled out or diagnosed.
MalaCards based summary : Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder, also known as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is related to gilles de la tourette syndrome and oppositional defiant disorder, and has symptoms including seizures, tremor and back pain. An important gene associated with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder is DRD4 (Dopamine Receptor D4), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Dopaminergic synapse and Serotonergic synapse. The drugs Dopamine and Methylphenidate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include brain, testes and thyroid, and related phenotypes are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and hyperactivity
Disease Ontology : 12 A specific developmental disorder that is characterized by co-existence of attentional problems and hyperactivity, with each behavior occurring infrequently alone and symptoms starting before seven years of age.
MedlinePlus : 44 Is it hard for your child to sit still? Does your child act without thinking first? Does your child start but not finish things? If so, your child may have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Nearly everyone shows some of these behaviors at times, but ADHD lasts more than 6 months and causes problems in school, at home and in social situations. ADHD is more common in boys than girls. It affects 3-5 percent of all American children. The main features of ADHD are Inattention Hyperactivity Impulsivity No one knows exactly what causes ADHD. It sometimes runs in families, so genetics may be a factor. There may also be environmental factors. A complete evaluation by a trained professional is the only way to know for sure if your child has ADHD. Treatment may include medicine to control symptoms, therapy, or both. Structure at home and at school is important. Parent training may also help. NIH: National Institute of Mental Health
CDC : 3 People with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors (may act without thinking about what the result will be), or be overly active. Although ADHD can't be cured, it can be successfully managed and some symptoms may improve as the child ages.
NINDS : 55 Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral disorder that affects 3-5 percent of all American children. It interferes with a person's ability to stay on a task and to exercise age-appropriate inhibition (cognitive alone or both cognitive and behavioral). Some of the warning signs of ADHD include failure to listen to instructions, inability to organize oneself and school work, fidgeting with hands and feet, talking too much, leaving projects, chores and homework unfinished, and having trouble paying attention to and responding to details. There are several types of ADHD: a predominantly inattentive subtype, a predominantly hyperactive-impulsive subtype, and a combined subtype. ADHD is usually diagnosed in childhood, although the condition can continue into the adult years.

Before any treatment is started, the doctor will talk about what ADHD is and how everyone can best cope with it. As well as the parents and their child, teachers and preschool teachers may also be there too. It may then turn out that there is no urgent need for treatment. When deciding whether or not treatment is necessary, it is important to consider how much of a problem the behavior is for the child and their parents, and whether things like their performance at school are suffering as a result.If a child only has a mild form of ADHD that does not affect his or her life too much, it might be enough to complete a parent training and education program on dealing with ADHD. These programs can be taken as a class with an instructor or done on your own using written material.If a child has moderate or severe ADHD that is causing problems at school and in their social environment, it may be helpful to try interventions at school or have family or behavioral therapy. The type of help that will be most effective will depend on the child's age, whether they tend to be more inattentive or more hyperactive, and what areas of their life the ADHD has the greatest impact on.Medication can relieve ADHD symptoms. It is mainly considered for the treatment of more severe ADHD when psychological and educational approaches are not effective enough. Medicine containing the drug methylphenidate is the most commonly used medication. If methylphenidate does not work or cannot be used for other reasons, the drugs atomoxetine, dexamfetamine or lisdexamfetamine may be used instead.Treatment at a psychosomatic or psychiatric hospital for children and teenagers may be a good idea for children who are extremely hyperactive and impulsive and have great difficulty coping in daily life, or can no longer cope at all. Hospital treatment may also be needed if the child has other severe mental disorders too.

Updated July 18, 2019 A free video chat service keeps you connected with friends and family around the world. Before you sign up, you need an active internet connection, ample bandwidth, a webcam, and an audio input and output device (microphone and speaker). 01 of 07 Skype GettyImages Skype is the most popular app for voice and video calling. In the mobile market, Skype has been dethroned by WhatsApp and Viber, but it still remains the most prominent tool for free communication on desktop computers. Besides, users who don't know much about voice-over-IP calling tend to subconsciously interchange the terms VoIP and Skype. Skype is available for all platforms and is easy to use. The app offers HD quality voice and video and is often argued to be the best when it comes to both visual and sound quality. Skype's video and audio calls are free within the network with other Skype users are free, and you can make paid audio calls to landlines if you purchase a subscription. Visit Skype 02 of 07 Google Hangouts Free and low cost voice calls can be made through Google Hangouts. Google Google Hangouts is great for many reasons, one being that many people can use it right away because they already have a Gmail account. Your connected Google account facilitates login and accesses the contacts you already have stored in Gmail. Since it runs entirely in your Web browser, you don't have to download a program in order to run it. It grabs hold of your webcam and microphone through the Google Hangouts website and delivers HD transmission of both right through the browser. Google Hangouts is also available as a video chat mobile app for Android and iOS. Visit Google Hangouts 03 of 07 ooVoo Another way to video chat on a computer is with ooVoo, which lets you connect with up to 12 people at once. As with Skype, you can make phone calls to non-ooVoo users (like landlines) if you want to pay a fee. Otherwise, ooVoo-to-ooVoo video and audio calls are free. Use the service to call a Mac computer from a Windows computer, or an Android phone from an iOS phone. So long as both people use the ooVoo app, they can make video calls as often as they like. Visit ooVoo 04 of 07 Viber If you have a Windows computer, Viber might be the perfect free video calling app for you. It's as easy to use as selecting a contact from the "Viber Only" section of your contact list and then using the video button to start the call. Viber lets you turn the video off whenever you like, mute the call, or even transfer the call. It works so much like a regular phone that it should be one of the easier apps to use from this list. Viber only works on Windows 10. You can download the app on other devices like Android and iOS, but those devices can only use the text and voice calling features. Visit Viber 05 of 07 Facebook The most popular social network lets you communicate over not only text but also video from within your browser. Making a video call with Facebook is easy: Open a message with someone and then click the small camera icon to initiate the call. You'll be told of any plugin you may be required to download to make it work. Use the Facebook Help Center if you need help using Facebook's video chat feature through Messenger.com or the mobile Messenger app. Visit Facebook 06 of 07 Facetime Daniel Nations Facetime offers excellent video and audio quality with an easy-to-use interface. However, the main problem with this video chatting app is that it works exclusively on Apple's operating system and devices, and only with other Facetime users. However, if you do have a Mac, iPhone, or iPod touch, make video or audio calls from the device almost in the exact same way you would make a regular phone call. Similar to Google Hangouts, Facetime lets you search through your phone's contacts to find someone to call. One neat feature is that you can see which of your contacts are using Facetime (you can't call someone unless they're also signed up for Facetime). Visit Apple for FaceTime 07 of 07 Ekiga Ekiga (formerly called GnomeMeeting) is a video calling app for Linux and Windows computers. It supports HD sound quality and full-screen video that has a quality comparable to DVD. Since the program functions much like a regular phone, Ekiga also supports SMS to cell phones (if the service provider allows), an address book, and text messaging. Visit Ekiga Continue Reading

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus: An Iconic Railway Station

The present-day Headquarters building of Central Railway popularly known as Victoria Terminus (now Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) is an architectural marvel.
This magnificent monument was originally planned as the office of GIP (Great Indian Peninsular) Railway. This is the most photographed building after Taj Mahal and was designed by Frederick William Stevens, a consulting architect. Thus taking almost a decade to build it at a princely sum of Rs.16,13,863/-, Stevens designed the monumental Terminus which was the largest building then erected in Asia and which even today is a standing testimony of his innovative talent.
The construction started in 1878 and on Jubilee Day in 1887, it was named after Queen-Empress Victoria. Later in 1996, it was renamed as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. It was again renamed as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in July 2017. In 2004, UNESCO has enlisted this building as World Heritage Site for its architectural splendor. From December 2012, this heritage building has been opened for public viewing on working days.
Shivaji Maharaj Terminus is designed in a Gothic style adapted to suit Indian context. It is a C shaped building planned symmetrically about the east-west axis. The crowning point of the whole building is the central main dome carrying up a colossal 16'-6'' high figure of lady pointing a flaming torch upwards in her right hand, and a spoked wheel low in the left hand, symbolizing `Progress'. This dome has been reported to be the first octagonal ribbed masonry dome that was adapted to an Italian Gothic style building.
The station was constructed with six platforms at a cost of Rs.10.4 lakh and in 1929, the first remodeling took place to have 13 platforms. Further modifications were done to the yard and the station had two more platforms thus making it a total of 15 platforms in 1994. Today, it has 18 platforms with a spacious east side entry as well. In April 2018, a heritage gully was inaugurated adjacent to platform no.18, wherein Sir. Leslie Wilson, the GIP Heritage Electric Loco, and other heritage items are displayed.
During Centenary celebrations of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus Building, a postal stamp was released. In 2013, when the building celebrated quasi-centennial (125 years) anniversary, a special postal cover was released on the occasion.

What is Blockchain Scalability?
During the heydays of the 2017 bitcoin spike, the limits of the payment network became apparent. Prior to the implementation of SegWit, transactions could take a week or more to process with transaction fees measured in the hundreds of dollars. Not only did this effectively make bitcoin ineffective for microtransactions, but it also revealed a fatal flaw of blockchains that may hinder their applicability in the real world.
When blockchains were introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto, mass use or bottlenecking were not considerations to be solved. Nakamoto's objective simply was to create a truly portable, trustless way to use digital money. At best, Nakamoto's model was just a proof-of-concept. However, as the world grows dependent on Nakamoto's model, a way to make it work in real-world applications become more necessary.
So, how does one bring elasticity to a rigid model? This article will look at what is blockchain scalability and what are some of the solutions toward achieving it.
To understand scalability, we will return to an example used before on this website, that of a bank. When the bank functions well, the customer can come in, deliver his transaction with the clerk, and have the clerk process it without any unnecessary waits or bottlenecks.
However, what happens if it is extraordinarily busy in the bank, such as on the first of the month? Our clerk may have trouble keeping up. Even if the clerk is the world's fastest typist (which she is not), the infrastructure would betray her. The vacuum lines can only move transactions so fast, the receipt boxes can only hold so many files before needing to be emptied, and the computer's sync time cannot be quickened. In other words, the bank is unscalable or unable to adjust to increases in demand.
"When talking about the future of blockchain technology, the tech's scalability issues need to be addressed. Not because it's anywhere near the most interesting aspect of it, but because it's the biggest challenge the industry faces today," Invest in Blockchain reports.
"Mass adoption won't happen if blockchains can't scale, simply because most people will not accept slower applications than they're used to just for the sake of decentralization."
"Since the decentralized ledger that forms the foundation of a blockchain keeps getting bigger with every block added to the chain, scalability is an inherent problem of blockchain technology. Moreover, decentralized networks severely increase the cost of maintenance and transactions, because the nodes need to be incentivized to validate the network."
"Then there is the problem that with an increase in the number of nodes in a network, the harder it becomes to reach consensus among these nodes — but less nodes means less decentralization."
"These problems inherent to blockchain technology, and decentralized ledger technology in general, have come to light over the past year as cryptocurrencies became more popular. Bitcoin and Ethereum display serious scalability issues, and most other blockchain projects haven't actually been tested for this yet, as their blockchains haven't been subjected to serious transaction volumes."
Every blockchain has its own scalability problems. For the sake of space, we will only be focusing on bitcoin and Ethereum.
Bitcoin: Prior to SegWit, bitcoin functioned on the limits established by Satoshi Nakamoto, which were created to prevent the possibility of real-time hacking. This includes a block size of one megabyte and a block discovery time of ten minutes.
The problem with this is that – using the bank example again – the receipt box can fill up before the ten minutes are up. What this means is that there are transactions being intentionally delayed in verification because there is no place to put them. During the height of the 2017 price spike, this meant that a transaction could take a week to process. The only way to get a faster processing time is to offer more in transaction fees, negating any value the system had for low-value transactions.
The debate to solve this fell along two lines: increase the block size and make transactions smaller. Both solutions were flawed. Making the block size bigger, for example, did not offer a permanent solution and would require more powerful computers to process the increased memory demands. This could create quasi-centralization among the larger miners (which one can argue already exist due to energy cost and the existence of mega mining farms). Segregating the transaction signature or "witness file," conversely, can also be seen as "kicking the can down the road," as it does not offer a permanent solution. While effectively reducing a transaction's need space down by three-quarters, this only raise bitcoin's maximum transactions per second to about 60 – far below the major payment channels or even other cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum: Unlike bitcoin, Ethereum does not have a block limit and its block generation time is 14 seconds approximately. This allows Ethereum to process significantly more transactions than bitcoin at a consistently lower cost.
However, Ethereum has a maximum gas limit per block. Using our bank example, this is like saying that the clerk's computer is only allowed to accept so many commands before syncing. Gas is the computational cost to perform a dApp operation in the Ethereum Virtual Machine; all transactions must be bundled in a way so that it meets or comes under the Gas limit in order to be processed. Overages must wait for the next block. This inefficiency effectively limits Ethereum's scalability.
As Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, explained in 2017: "Bitcoin is currently processing a bit less than three transactions per second and if it goes close to four, it is already at peak capacity. Ethereum has been doing five per second and if it goes above six, then it is also at peak capacity. On the other hand, Uber on average does 12 rides per second, PayPal several hundred, Visa several thousand, major stock exchanges tens of thousands, and in IoT, you're talking hundreds of thousands per second."
"There already is really a lot of institutional hype in the space and just public hype. So when you have Vladimir Putin having known what Blockchains and Ethereum are and Paris Hilton going out promoting ICOs on Twitter, that's peak hype. But the reason why a lot of this hasn't materialized into action yet is precisely because of some of these technical obstacles that make Blockchains work okay for niche use cases but not really for work well for mainstream use."
Bringing Flexibility to the Inflexible
Much of the problem with solving the scalability problem is that there are large egos in the cryptocurrency community that do not like to be told that they may be wrong. One example is with the failed SegWit 2x proposal, which would see the bitcoin block size increase.
"The Segwit2x effort began in May with a simple purpose: to increase the blocksize and improve Bitcoin scalability," SegWit 2x proponent Mike Belshe wrote in a circular sent to a mailing list. "At the time, the Bitcoin community was in crisis after nearly 3 years of heavy debate, and consensus for Segwit seemed like a distant mirage with only 30% support among miners. Segwit2x found its first success in August, as it broke the deadlock and quickly led to Segwit's successful activation. Since that time, the team shifted its efforts to phase two of the project – a 2MB blocksize increase."
"Our goal has always been a smooth upgrade for Bitcoin. Although we strongly believe in the need for a larger blocksize, there is something we believe is even more important: keeping the community together. Unfortunately, it is clear that we have not built sufficient consensus for a clean blocksize upgrade at this time. Continuing on the current path could divide the community and be a setback to Bitcoin's growth. This was never the goal of Segwit2x."
"As fees rise on the blockchain, we believe it will eventually become obvious that on-chain capacity increases are necessary. When that happens, we hope the community will come together and find a solution, possibly with a blocksize increase. Until then, we are suspending our plans for the upcoming 2MB upgrade."
"We want to thank everyone that contributed constructively to Segwit2x, whether you were in favor or against. Your efforts are what makes Bitcoin great. Bitcoin remains the greatest form of money mankind has ever seen, and we remain dedicated to protecting and fostering its growth worldwide."
For a cryptocurrency to effectively compete against the major payment systems, like Visa or Mastercard, or to serve as a money system, it must be able to adapt effectively to the demands daily transactions would impose. One way forward may be to abandon proof-of-work.
The way proof-of-work works today is to have every server that runs the core software validate the transaction. While only a small number of the nodes must verify the transaction for the transaction to be considered "processed," all nodes must eventually process the transaction. Not only is this redundant, it is also energy-intensive to an extent that many governments are either cognizant of the problem or developing plans to deal with it.
While proof-of-work was designed to encourage decentralization, it achieved the opposite. Proof-of-work led to some miners to develop large mining farms to guarantee mining rewards. This resulted in the majority of network hashing power being held by a small number of pools and mining facilities, with most small miners being effectively forced out.
Proof-of-stake, which places all of the verification duties on verifiers which placed a stake of the coin or token on the network, is slightly better than proof-of-work performance-wise. However, as the size of the stake increases the odds that a verifier wins the block reward, this constitutes a plutarchy where the richest users with the most powerful nodes would benefit most.
Proof-of-assignment, which is currently being used with IOTW, offers a low-power alternative to proof-of-work for private blockchains. "Proof-of-Assignment (PoA) is a consensus algorithm which can be used for permissioned ledgers," Captainaltcoin.com reports. "A permissioned ledger is one which isn't available for public utility and has a limited number of users. It uses a set of 'authorities' which are basically designated nodes that are in charge of creating new blocks and securing the ledger. With the PoA algorithm, a ledger will need a majority of its authority nodes to 'approve' of a block in order for that block to be added."
"This algorithm is very suitable for private networks, due to its ability to keep outsiders from participating in the consensus. However, its biggest feature is that it's rather centralized. This helps it be more efficient and more scalable than the average public blockchain."
"PoA is seen as the answer to the shortcomings of currently most popular algorithms – PoW and PoS – which come to light when we attempt to apply these algorithms on the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT will be the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and connectivity; In 2017 there were 8.4 billion IoT devices recorded globally and this number is expected to rise to 30 billion in 2020, according to Gartner. Most of these devices can and will be very limited when it comes to energy consumption."
Bitcoin's Lightning Network represents a fix for those unwilling to change the underlying foundation. The Lightning Network is a secondary blockchain layer where transactions can be conducted without immediately introducing it to the blockchain. By creating micropayment channels, users can create transaction pathways for micropayments that only need to be recorded to the blockchain after the fact with the users' stakes in the channel being the collateral to ensure trust.
Another such solution is Ethereum's proposed Plasma Cash, which allow users to only focus on blocks relevant to them, while safeguarding user transactions. Users would create Plasma coins, that represent the Ether to be transferred. As the coin cannot be altered and is not fungible, it not only create a bridge to just the blocks affected – speeding up the verification process – but also create a situation where transactions cannot be hacked.
Regardless of the solution, the scalability issue is something that must be solved. As Cointelgraph explained: "Unless action is taken, it's likely that transactions will take longer and longer to process. In a digital economy where fiat payments can be sent and received instantly, blockchain platforms need to offer the same if they are going to be regarded as a viable alternative — even if they offer an array of other compelling advantages. Otherwise, there's a real risk that even the most ardent crypto enthusiasts will abandon this technology altogether."
"Dwindling user numbers could see prices for major cryptocurrencies tumble, with assets once worth thousands of dollars depreciating in value to a small fraction of what they were before."
"It could also mean that centralization is here to stay, with all of the imperfections that motivated the dawn of the blockchain community in the first place. From here, who knows how many brilliant crypto platforms may never come to fruition."

Graphic design is a tool for moving people to action. When design is utilized to further the cause of social justice, to promote equity and opportunity, amazing things can happen. The type of design I'm most interested in and see the most promise with promotes diversity and inclusion, brings people together to solve problems, and advocates for a progressive culture of creativity and overall well-being for individuals and communities.
Reflecting on UNL's Design + Social Justice Symposium, I feel so honored to have been a part of an educational institution celebrating the graphic design of a justice movement and having a discussion about how design can have an impact today, whether social, political, or environmental. Meeting Emory Douglas is certainly something I'll never forget. I asked for his signature right next to the masthead of a Black Panther paper. He also wrote, "All Power To The People." Something to always be mindful of. In the face of inequality, injustice, and hate, All Power To The People brings us together, breaks through the madness, and allows us to find ways to address our most urgent issues.
Graphic design can make you smile. Make you mad. Make you change your behavior. It illuminates and can silence all irrelevant noise with magnificent clarity by perfectly capturing the core of an idea. It's an obvious tool for social change as seen in the history of successful movements for justice. And it will continue to be so.

Gluttony, Laziness, and Pride for gains
Excess in eating or drinking.
be especially proud of a particular quality or skill.
the quality of being unwilling to work or use energy; idleness
Weird title huh? Let me explain. Gluttony and pride in the gym and in your training are great qualities to have.
Gluttony is only good for those who's goal it is to gain muscle mass and strength. If you eat like a horse and don't back it up with the correct training then you will just gain fat.
The best training advice For young beginning lifters is to eat everything you see and train like a madman
If you eat a clean diet then you are at a disadvantage. You will have to eat much more clean food to reach the daily calorie total of a lifter who eats only 70-80% clean.Being Gluttonous with healthy foods does have its advantages of less body fat gained with the added muscle mass and your blood lipid profiles will thank you later in life.
lifting is a skill that takes a lot of time to do correctly an a lifetime to perfect. If you are not proud of your current max lifts or technique then you should spend more time on it and be proud of your results.Dang
3. Laziness
You have a limited amount of energy. If you are dedicated to getting stronger you should be unwilling to use that energy for anything other than efficient training and recovery.That may not be realistic for many, but you can make it a higher priority in your life.
Not many things will improve your training more than getting more sleep. If you are serious about your lifting then sleeping is one of the most productive things you can do on your down time.
Sleep is when the body rebuilds itself and processes information. Why wouldn't you try to add more sleep in your day? It helps you grow and it just feels good.
I'm done

While many students' idea of extra curricular activities rarely stray past drinking copious amounts of alcohol or frantically hacking (possibly at the same time), some students take a less-travelled road.Chris Chan is Merton's current organ scholar and leader of the Chapel Choir, although he does not limit himself to just the choir. In fact, he says 'I also co-conduct the big band and orchestra in Merton, and am conductor of the Oxford String Ensemble.' Clearly not someone who is content to rest on their laurels, then.
The chapel choir will also be keeping itself busy. Despite mentioning that Trinity is often quieter, due to finalists hitting the exam period, Chan describes a full line-up of events, from memorial services to concerts raising money for a tour in Vienna in June.On to the role of organ scholar. Chan describes it so: 'You do have to take on responsibility – you are employed in representing the chapel.' Being an organ scholar involves much more than playing the organ; as Chan puts it, 'you become part of the college's staff.'
In Michaelmas 2008, Merton will launch the Choral Foundation, offering scholarships to 15 students under the leadership of Peter Phillips. Chan says that one of the main reasons for the foundation were 'our acoustics in Merton, which are known not just in Oxford but world wide as well'. Two years after the idea was first brought up, over £1,000,000 has been raised for the foundation.
Phillips, who directs the world famous Tallis Scholars, will be Director of Music at the chapel and will no doubt bring great expertise to the foundation.

Wow! I can't believe I'm just now getting a chance to blog this session. The very first time I saw pictures of Emily and Trey, I knew I had to photograph them at some point. When Emily sent me a message about their wedding and I found out her parents had a farm, I jumped on the opportunity to have them be my models :) They are absolutely one of the most gorgeous couples ever...and fun...and Trey brought me wine...so that doesn't hurt anything :) We had a great time exploring her parents farm. We climbed inside the loft of the barn, we battled flies, ran from horses and goats and bees, and dodged...well, what normal animals leave...and it was all well worth it. It's exactly what I wanted. At first we thought the horses wouldn't want anything to do with us and then they wouldn't leave us alone :) lol. But I loved it :) I have to share "their story". I have forms for all of my clients to fill out that asks for them to tell me about themselves. I always love reading these answers. You don't know how many times I've literally been brought to tears reading how much a Mother loves her children, or how a couple met. I know Emily didn't think it was a great answer, but I thought it was perfect. She said that they can't for the life of them remember where they met, but they know that they have been together ever since. Perfect.
I'll start with my absolute favorite image. We waited to start close to when the sun was setting. I just love the light from sunset. It really made everything exactly how I had imagined it! And don't you love that yellow dress!?! Emily was a trooper walking around all over the farm for me in her heels.
Thanks to Trey for not allowing us to fall out of the top of the barn. Now THAT would've been a story.
They said they couldn't be serious...
Did I mention they said they couldn't be serious?
And another reason I love sunset shoots...
And excuse the weird size on this one :)
Thanks Emily and Trey! You rock!

Running A Blog is common these days. It seems that every time you search for something online, blogs turn up in the search results. Creating a good blog takes time, planning and big decisions. Use the advice provided below to improve every aspect of your blog.
Attempt to be available to your readers at all times. Make a habit out of responding to posts or starting new blogs at specific times. If you can connect with readers, they feel that they can contact you. You have an obligation to your readers if your blog really takes off. If you get frustrated, think of your readers.
Never ever allow yourself to copy anything. Plagiarism will ruin your credibility among your readers as well as your peers and can also result in legal action against you. It's okay if your writing isn't fantastic, so long as it's your own, and you have a passion for your topic.
Keep your content fresh. New content that is fresh and relevant is what will attract and retain your audience. If you don't post new content on a regular basis, people won't get into the habit of visiting your blog regularly. A regular, daily blog post is a good goal to give yourself.
Blog about something readers want to know. Nobody wants to read a saga about doing the dishes and cleaning the bathroom every day. If you have a way of presenting information on topics like this that will help them to become more efficient, then go ahead and blog about it. If your information is not interesting and engaging though, you will quickly lose readers and create an unsuccessful blog. It should always be clear from your writing why you believe your chosen subject matter would be interesting for your readers. Remember that you want to attract readers to your page; that is the point of writing a blog after all.
You should purchase your own domain site instead of using a free hosting site when developing your blog. Domain names are inexpensive and they will give your blog a more professional image. Visitors will be more likely to recall your website, particularly if the title contains your business' name or something similar.
Try to be authentic. Don't make it look like you are a 'know-it-all'. Clarity and transparency are key. Be that way all the time. Writing A Blog is about expression and uniqueness. Don't try to prove your perfection in your blogs; your readers are more likely to respond to you if you feel vulnerable and human. It is not the end of the world if you make a mistake, and post something that is incorrect. Remember that it's your perceived faults that often make you unique.
Strive for authenticity in your blog posts. Don't appear like something who thinks they know everything. You want to show that you are being open and honest, as well as being transparent. Always try to do this. Remember that blogging is primarily an expression of a person's personality. Don't waste time in trying to reach perfection; rather, try to write better. If you are incorrect, then accept that everyone makes mistakes. No two people are exactly alike, so be happy you are you.
Patience is definitely key as you begin to grow your blog. People aren't going to magically stumble upon your blog over night; it takes time to buikd an audience. Also, in the early stages of your blog, there just won't be that much content for visitors to read. As your blog becomes more established and you build up a sizable amount of content, more people will come to visit it.
Let guests write posts for your blog from time to time. This is a great way to network with other bloggers. It's amazing what having a tight circle of bloggers will do for your site! In addition, guest blogging helps build link connections for both sites: they post on your blog, you post on theirs, and you both have fresh content from a new perspective and a backlink to your respective sites.
Content is king if you want to increase traffic to your blog. You need to create articles that people want to read. Users will return if you provide honest and high quality content.
Make sure you blog is in good health. This means doing all the boring maintenance chores that needs to be done, as well as updating parts of your design from time to time. This will spare your audience from boredom and ensure no technical problems with your blog.
Place your blog articles all over the Internet. This way you will attract as many readers as you can. It is not wise to limit the outlets you have for a successful blog. This one powerful move can help you access as many viewers as possible. Use all means at your disposal to get your content read.
Enable reader comments on your blog. Take the time to respond to comments, whenever possible. This is an easy way to engage your readers and make them feel more vested in your blog. If people know you respond to the comments, chances are they will return to view your responses to their comments and those of others.
Writing A Blog requires more than a simple approach. You should approach writing a blog as a business, and you should always be researching and learning. Take your cues from experienced bloggers, always integrating new techniques and ideas. Improving in all the time while learning how to blog in new ways will help you to move forward.
If you want to gain quality traffic for your blog, try focusing your content on well-informed and inspirational posts. Your readers will be happy to return if the information you provide is factual, informative and fun to read.
Today, there are a huge variety and quantity of blogs on the Internet. Blogs are made for lots of reasons, but they all want to spread a message to a particular audience. Use the suggestions and advice from the preceding article so you can design and develop a blog to get your message out there to those people you want to reach.
Remember that blogging is a less formal mode of communication than traditional writing. A blog contains your personal writings and should not be an infomercial. Treat the blog as an entertaining social media vehicle. This is vital to your success as a blogger. Keep your content fun and interesting and connect to your readers in an informal way that will leave them wanting more.

52 Leadership Tips- #4
Be Humble!
Humble? What are your talking about Terry. I thought this was a leadership post. Well, it is, and in my opinion a great leader must be a humble leader.
Why is this so shocking? Well, I think that it is shocking in our culture because we are told that command is key. Or, leaders should be hard-nosed, aggressive types that could blow at anytime. I could not disagree with this perception more. Humility is one of those leadership traits you do not see as frequently as you should in my opinion. Humility is often perceived as a weakness when, in fact, it can be a tremendous asset. The leader who is humble rarely allows the power of their position to cloud their judgment. The leader who recognizes they are not perfect creates an environment where those around them feel comfortable making mistakes and taking chances.
If you are a humble leader then you know that you don't have all the answers! And since you don't have all the answers you look for the perfect opportunities to learn from others, which make them feel valuable.
Ok, I am not saying that you need to act stupid to be humble. There is no harm in someone walking away knowing you are knowledgeable so long as the process did not leave them feeling "less than you." Sharing your wisdom is important, but must be done in a way that "lifts the other person up."
"The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matt 23:11-12
Slow down, take a deep breath and focus on being humble. Once you do this you will realize that it takes a lot of unnecessary effort to pretend that you know it all.

About Quince Ensemble
Singing with the precision and flexibility of modern chamber musicians, Quince Ensemble is changing the paradigm of contemporary vocal music. Described as "the Anonymous 4 of new music" by Opera News, Quince continually pushes the boundaries of vocal ensemble literature.
As dedicated advocates of new music, Quince regularly commissions new works, providing wider exposure for the music of living composers. They recently received a Chamber Music America award to commission a new song cycle by Chicago-based composer, LJ White, and will be releasing their 3rd studio album, Motherland, on New Focus Recordings in Spring 2018.
In 2016, Quince was featured on the KODY Festival Lublin, Poland in collaboration with David Lang and Beth Morrison Projects. They have also appeared on the Outpost Concert Series, the Philip Glass: Music with Friends concert at the Issue Project Room in Brooklyn, Alia Musica, and the SONiC Festival in New York. During the 2017-18 season, they will collaborate with Third Angle New Music, Philadelphia's Bowerbird, Washington University in St. Louis, MO, Lawrence University, Cornish University, Tigue, Man Forever, and Tenth Intervention.
Comprised of vocalists Liz Pearse (soprano), Kayleigh Butcher (mezzo-soprano), Amanda DeBoer Bartlett (soprano), and Carrie Henneman Shaw (soprano), Quince thrives on unique musical challenges and genre-bending contemporary repertoire.
Quince Ensemble in the press
"Judging by the evidence here, Quince Ensemble is the Anonymous 4 of new music. They have a clear mission (in this case, commissioning, performing, and advocating new and experimental work), superb blend, great versatility, and a general fearlessness of approach. It's hard to imagine that the fresh, daring, often forbiddingly difficult works on this disc could be performed any better." — Joshua Rosenblum, Opera News
"Over the years, the ensemble's rapport has grown to almost telepathic levels." — Peter Margasak, Chamber Music America, Summer 2017
"Ohio-based Quince, comprising founder and soprano Amanda DeBoer Bartlett, soprano Liz Pearse and mezzo-sopranos Kayleigh Butcher and Aubrey Von Almen, with guest artist Delea Shand, sang a breathtaking program"
"It was clear that Quince had arrived as a new force of vocal excellence and innovation."
"As the evening progressed and Quince sang wonder after wonder, the audience awaited each of them with Pavlovian anticipation." — David St.-Lascaux, The Brooklyn Rail

Quince Ensemble Story
Greg Staskiewicz
Oct. 5, 2018
The frontiers of the Earth might be closed, but the borders of the mind and music widen every day. One vocal quartet will soon bring their cutting-edge music to Omaha.
Quince Ensemble will perform their residency for Vesper Concerts in a free concert at 3 p.m., Oct. 21, at Presbyterian Church of the Cross. Their repertoire will include traditional chants, folk music and some pieces that go beyond the everyday idea of what music is.
Quince joined forces with Derrick Fox, director of choral activities and assistant professor of music at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, to create the first vocal contemporary residency in Nebraska, said Stacie Haneline, artistic director at Vesper Concerts.
Quince is an all-female vocal quartet formed in 2010 at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. They sing classical music but aren't stuck with only the old stuff. The group specializes in music by living composers, and sometimes they try out experimental music, said Amanda DeBoer Bartlett, Quince member.
She said most a cappella groups have lower male voices, but the four friends who founded Quince said, "We don't need dudes." So, they started to commission music from their friends at school. The other three members are Liz Pearse, Kayleigh Butcher and Carrie Shaw.
"We have things that sounds like noise and chaos, that my mom might call really ugly," Bartlett said. "And then we have some things that are very beautiful and sound like how a traditional string quartet might sound.
They tour all over the country, getting together to do two or three shows per month. The women are all treble voices, with one mezzo soprano.
Beyond just singing, Bartlett also does the marketing and web design for Quince. She said the group likes to act as their own agents because it lets them maintain their own personality.
"What we find with a lot of classical music marketing is, like all marketing, it sort of objectifies women in certain ways, that we're just like 'You know what, that's not interesting to us,'" she said. "So we get to maintain and form our own image, which is exactly how we want it to be."
For instance, Bartlett said, if she worked for a traditional opera troupe, she might be cast as "the flirty maid" because of her voice type.
Because Quince is able to manage their own image, she said, they have agency over the stories they tell – a variety of things that show the scope of human experience.
In 2015, Quince commissioned "Prisoner of Conscience", a controversial piece about the persecution of the Russian protest music group, Pussy Riot, after their performance inside Moscow's Cathedral of Christ the Saviour that criticized the Russian Orthodox Church, Bartlett said.
The piece, written by composer Jennifer Jolley and librettist Kendall A, quotes some of Pussy Riot's song lyrics and take excerpts from the group's court proceedings.
"What we don't often do is stop to process emotionally what's happening," Bartlett said.
"So that's something we can do musically, is take these events out of context and say, 'Wow, what does it feel like to be a woman in Russia who was arrested due to censorship?'"
In their residency with Vesper Concerts, Quince will bring more of the innovative music they've become known for.
Bartlett said the quartet will perform Woodie Guthrie's, "The Deportees", which gives names to Mexican migrant farmers who died in a plane crash while being deported from the US after the growing season – the pilot and the aid worker for the migrants were named, but the migrants themselves were only referred to as "the deportees".
The piece gives names to stories, and faces to statistics, she said.
Quince will also perform alongside high school and college students from Bellevue West and East high schools, Lincoln East High School and the UNO.
Haneline said that in preparation for the concert, students worked with contemporary vocal techniques and notation and learned music that would help them get a better idea of diversity of composers and musical styles.
The quartet and the students will perform "Squarepushers", by Amanda Feery, Bartlett said. "Squarepushers", which she called an "ethereal soundscape piece", is based on electronic music software, where musicians push boxes around to make beats. The singers will follow different overlapping chant melodies, to sing an evolving, unpredictable song.
The concert will also feature "Stripsody" by Cathy Berberian, Bartlett said. The piece channels Adam West's Batman – each student will sing a different comic book sound effect like "kapow", "bonk" or "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!"
"We feel very driven to make music that we think is important within the context of what's going on currently," Bartlett said.

Need for a new Progressive Coalition
When I first became involved in progressive/Democratic politics in the 1980s, there was a vibrant coalition of progressive organizations called LEAP - Legislative Electoral Action Program.
It began, I recall, as a reaction to the election of Ronald Reagan as President and the ascendancy of the conservative movement. For a mulititude of reasons, LEAP is no longer with us. As a result, it is much more difficult to move a progressive agenda both in elections and in the General Assembly. There are very real legal and other limitations for 501Cs like the Universal Health Care Foundation or One Connecticut to build the kind of grass roots activism statewide needed to pass difficult, broadsweeping legislation like Health Care for All.
Many of the leaders of LEAP are no longer in charge of their respective organizations - we lost Gerry Springer from the AFT CT, Jerry Brown & Merilee Milstein are no longer in charge of 1199, Phil Wheeler retired from UAW and Steve Perruccio just left CEUI. We need to think of rebuilding the progressive coalition. It may not end up being a formal organization like LEAP. Our culture, workforce, politics and technology have continued to change/evolve. We need to tap into the energy of the internet/bloggers, we need to involve the Lamont campaign volunteers.
