It's about "we," not about "I"
Dana White is the CEO of 1055 Grady, a leadership consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. and the author of the forthcoming book, "Leader Designed." She was Director of Policy and Strategic Communications for the Renault-Nissan Alliance in Paris, and has worked for the U.S. House Republican Conference, the Senate Armed Services Committee, and as a foreign policy advisor in Sen. John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign. She was a publicist for Fox News and an editorial writer for the Wall Street Journal in Hong Kong.
CfHP talked to Dana about the leadership lessons she has learned along the way.
Q: What are the most important characteristics of a great leader?
Great leaders have three main attributes. The first is a big, inclusive vision, where its about "we" and not about "I." Instead of declaring, "I want to become the company president," a great leader says, "We will make the best widgets in the world."
Second, great leaders consider serving others an honor and a privilege. They put the needs of employees and others ahead of themselves. They use their position to help the people around them get done what they need to get done.
Finally, and this is often the hardest, great leaders empower people. As a leader, you're dealing with people who have skills and talents you might not have. Are you willing to put people like that in a place where they can move the vision forward?
Q: Why is empowering others so difficult?
A lot of it comes from fear: If someone has talents or relationships I don't have, or is bringing in more money, I may seem less important.
It also has to do with how we reward people, which tends to be based on how well they perform, not how well they lead. Leadership is about inspiring other people, but organizations often reward leaders for their personal performance. Empowering people becomes difficult when it's all about you.
Q: Can you give me some examples from your own experience of leaders who possess these attributes?
Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Peugeot Citroën, is one of the largest auto manufacturers in the world. I worked with him when he was COO of Renault. He's the type of leader who doesn't care where ideas came from; he just wants things to be better. He'll do what he needs to do, including managing his ego and his life. It's not about him. It's rare to find people at that level who are that sane about success.
I also think of Gen. John Allen, a four-star general in the Marine Corps who is now retired. I knew him when I worked at the Pentagon. When people think about the military, they assume that you automatically follow leaders because of their rank. Observing Gen. Allen I realized that the best officers are followed not because of the stars on their shoulders, but because they spend their entire career empowering other people. The reason people follow generals, go into battle and even die for them is that they spend their entire life putting others' needs ahead of their own.
Q: Can someone do all three of these things well, and not achieve great results?
It depends on your goal. Let's just say that lots of big companies with highly compensated CEOs are very mediocre. But if your goal is to inspire people to be better and mentor people into their future, I think you will always be successful if you possess those three traits.
I wish more business leaders understood how much more impact they can have beyond a quarter or a year. They can leave a lasting legacy if they understand how to empower people around them and create a big vision for more than just themselves.

What you might have noticed over the past couple of years is that Instagram has quickly outgrown the first impression as a fun app for the kids and now has become a serious marketing arena for the contents, to sell, network and build audience for the brands and individuals. It happens to be one of the most popular forms of social networking sites with over 800M active monthly users sharing millions and billions of images, likes, and videos, on a daily basis. This is just how awesome it might have been.
Engagement rates for the said brands on most of the social networks are lesser than 0.1% but the IG will blow them all away. The average form of the IG engagement rate for the brands was epic 58 times more than what you get on FB. You cannot just argue with the numbers. It is just the average. But you have to be way above the average link and much more than that. So, heading for the best response will suits you better. You can always try growing the Instagram followers over here but after checking out some points to it as well.
1. Just cross-promote the dedicated hashtags:
It is nice that you have created a hashtag for the company but who really know ways to use it for sharing content associated with you?
- Always be sure that it is in the profile but make sure to take this game offline and have it well printed on receipts, signage in store, print ads and at some of the relevant events.
- In case, you are on TV and radio, you can always direct people to just use hashtags.
- Try to integrate online and even some of the offline campaigns by just ensuring it is well listed on some of the other social profiles, on website and even in email blasts. If you think that people will find you just like that then you are wrong.
2. You can always get creative with hashtags:
Whenever the matter is associated with the Instagram caption ideas, then you might have to just look beyond one-word and some of the obvious hashtags. It is true that you might want to use them but try to mix it up and just using hashtags to tell a proper story.
- Always try to be ironic, funny and even outrageous but avoid being anything but boring.
- For example, you can check out WeWork, the collaborative workspace company, which is just great at this and will include a fun-filled mix of the IG content.
3. Be sure to be part of the popular conversations:
For every post made, you can always use a proper mix of relevant hashtags. For example, the #woodworking can go great with the carpentry company. Other than that, the market houses some of the super popular and trendy hashtags to be used whenever you ever wanted to.
- The specified hashtags are mostly the long tail ones with keywords. Here, the user gets to show some more intent and just help in finding the correct people.
- Some of them might be using some of the universally trending hashtags like the #photooftheday, #tbt and more just to get in line with some of the best people in general.
You have to try making it big on the social network and even noisy on Instagram. For that, trying to participate in some of the massively popular content will work its way out just great.
4. Be sure to make most of the bio URL:
Your source is mainly associated with the real estate on the IG profile. So, do you really want your bio to be having only link to the website homepage, now and always? It is nothing but simply boring, to say the least. You have to work your way out and change it by around bi-weekly and use that same clickable link in the bio for driving traffic to new or some of the most popular content.
5. Be sure to be descriptive with the said captions:
Even though pictures are important but you cannot skip the words completely. If you ever check out National Geography, you will see that those talented people are great at storytelling alongside their IG photos, just for generating more sharing and engagement.
- Even while the traditional media brands have dropped just like flies, the National Geography is still booming across digital media and has become one of the major brands on IG with over 50M followers, to say the least!
- Just like any other IG hacks as added so far in the list, this point is something that you easily want to commit to totally into strategy right over time. So, you just don't have to worry if it feels really weird at first but your writing will get to improve as you catch up with the IG voice of the brand.
6. Head towards influencer marketing will all force that you have:
Make sure to visit the profile of every person that you have identified as influencer in space and just turn their post notifications to be notified every time when they get to share some new content. If you want, you can easily interact with them on a regular basis and become one of their favorite brands or people, you never know! But the task is not that simple and you have to work your way out for long hard hours to get what you always wanted, and that is a bit of fame.

These are few of the many more ways in which you are likely to get more of the Instagram followers just like you have anticipated. There are so many more available in the market out there and you just have to go for it from the initial stages only. Just be sure to know more about the platform first.

History with the Wind
Oh, look! President Fuckwit isn't "just" going after transgender people -- he's coming after all of us! What a fucking surprise.
There's so much idiocy coming out of the current white house, I make an active effort not to comment on it. This, though -- it brings me back to the fact that in the last election, we all knew this would be the result of a Fuckwit presidency, and still 74% of eligible voters either voted for President Fuckwit, or voted third party, or did not vote at all. All three of those choices had the known result of what we are all dealing with today.
It's very difficult for me not to take that personally.
I spent the evening at home last night, with both Shobhit and Ivan. Shobhit worked until 6:00, so first it was Ivan. I had no idea if he was working yesterday or not, but when I got home he was sitting at the dining table, seemingly happy to see me. He then asked if I wanted to watch something. I said sure; he said what; I said I don't know. Then he suggested watching the first half of Gone with the Wind.
He's listening to the audio version of the novel, which is is clearly very much enjoying, even though when he first started it his assessment was, "It's a little racist." Um, you think? Gone with the Wind is one of those great movies with a lot working against it, but it still manages to be great -- so long as you regard it in historical context. Shobhit and I have both read the book and we both loved it, although I was always bothered most by the final tenth or so of the novel, in which the Ku Klux Klan are characterized as noble people. Ick. Interestingly, even as overtly racist as the depictions of the slaves in the movie are, even the movie in 1939 knew better than to take up that particular KKK mantle.
There's a lot to unpack in Gone with the Wind, actually, besides just the racial stuff -- the gender politics, which surely no one at the time thought of in such terms, in particular. Still, I think it's pretty undeniable that Scarlett O'hara and Rhett Butler are characters compelling enough, even now, to transcend the many problematic elements of how this story is told -- namely, very sympathetic to the American South in the Civil War. (It's always good to note that the North was nowhere near as righteous as we as Americans are generally conditioned to think them to have been.)
Anyway. Ivan is only a little more than halfway through the novel; it's roughly a thousand pages long, so twice the length of an average novel that would itself still be on the slightly longer side, which means getting through it in audio version is taking a while. Sitting through a four-hour movie is too much for his attention span, which I expected even when I suggested a while ago that he and I watch it once he was done with the book, so it wasn't too surprising that he suggested watching the movie in two separate segments. The movie has a truly impressive production by 1939 standards and remains surprisingly watchable. Ivan and I laughed several times at Scarlett's whiny idiocy.
I can actually remember the very first time I tried to watch that movie. Mom and Dawn (Katina's mother, Katina being my brother's soon-to-be-ex wife) had rented it, and they watched it on Dawn's TV at her house. I tried to watch it, knowing even then that it was a really famous movie, but my 13-year-old brain was quickly bored by it and I played with Andy, Katina's little brother, instead. I tried the movie again as an adult and liked it very much.
I just decided to do some online searching, in both my Google Calendar and in LiveJournal using the Google Advanced Search, and it appears I've watched Gone with the Wind a lot more times than I even remembered:
Sunday, July 7, 2003: we watched Roger's copy of the movie with Barbara and Clarica at Clarica's place. I wrote in that entry that I had never seen the movie before, so I guess that's when I saw it in its entirety for the first time. Huh. I completely forgot about that.
Thursday, November 11, 2004: I watched it with Barbara at Shobhit's and my apartment; Shobhit was gone to a class. But this was also the year I read the book, and I watched the movie right after finishing it, so that journal entry is very much in the context of what it was like to see the movie so soon after reading it.
Saturday, June 23, 2007: I watched it with Shobhit, Barbara, and Hadley at the apartment we lived in for a year and a half in Fremont. This was both Shobhit's and Hadley's first time seeing it, and this was the year Shobhit and I got into several arguments about whether Gone with the Wind or Titanic was truly the most successful -- adjusted for inflation, worldwide -- of all time. Shobhit was always been convinced it was Titanic, arguing that Gone with the Wind was too America-centric and could never have raked in a lot of box office internationally; I still feel that I made a convincing argument (in April of 2007) that in all likelihood, due to a number of factors, Gone with the Wind remains not only the most successful movie of all time in adjusted dollars domestically -- that fact is not at all in dispute -- but also worldwide. (I feel it relevant to note now, ten years after that argument, that although Avatar beat Titanic in unadjusted dollars, Avatar remains #15 in the adjusted-for-inflation domestic list, Titanic currently sits at #5, below Star Wars, The Sound of Music, and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, all of which had more staying power than Titanic could ever hope to have, especially Star Wars, which continues to have a staying power none of the others have -- except, of course, for Gone with the Wind. That said, the all-time Worldwide grosses list still features Avatar at #1 and Titanic at #2, but that is misleading due to the inability to present that list in adjusted dollars, thanks to both exchange rates and purchasing power parity making such conversions virtually impossible.)
Sunday, February 6, 2011: "Gone with the Wind Bowl," Susan's and my Super Bowl counter-programming. I watched it with her at her place in Pioneer Square. I must say I love the photo I posted in that entry, of Susan's impeccably interior-designed condo (and her cat, Travis), featuring the still from the movie of when Scarlett is raising her fist in the air and shouting, "As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again!"
Friday, January 13, 2012: Laney and Evan came to watch it with me in the Braeburn Condos theatre -- thus, kind of amazingly, this was the one time I've watched the movie in the theatre down there on the ground floor of the West building of my condo complex. Fun fact: apparently this was the first time I ever operated that theatre's popcorn machine myself. I guess Barbara had always done it before, but she moved back to Virginia in the spring of 2010.
So! Judging by this chronology, this viewing with Ivan is the sixth time I've watched Gone with the Wind. All of them since 2003. So I guess on average I see it every couple of years, although it's been five years since the last time. This is the first time I'm watching the two halves on separate days; Ivan seems to be expecting we'll watch the rest sometime next week. He did tell me his work schedule for the next couple of weeks, so it's nice to know that far beforehand when he'll be home in the evenings and when he won't.
Shobhit watched most of the movie with us, as I didn't put it on until maybe five minutes before Shobhit got home from work. He prepared lentils and rice for dinner while it was playing. But I helped! I chopped the vegetables for him, and also boiled the brown rice. We ate it with the last of the tortilla chips I got last weekend to make nachos with.
I'm pretty sure this would only be the second time Shobhit has watched Gone with the Wind -- the first having been ten years ago. At which time, when it ended, of course, he announced that Titanic was better. Hardly a surprise, that; Titanic is his favorite movie, which clearly informs his (wrong) opinion that it was the biggest movie of all time worldwide, even in adjusted dollars.
I thought about watching some TV after we were done with Gone with the Wind and Ivan moved on to making his dinner, but Shobhit and I never did. We started the New York Times crossword instead. And we both gave up after not very long at all; we found today's puzzle far too challenging, and Shobhit, after working two different shifts that began at 7 a.m. during all of which he was on his feet, was too tired to think straight enough for it. He went back to his CNBC show clips. I went to the bedroom and watched half a Netflix comedy special that many comedians I follow on Twitter were helping to promote, by Joe Mande. But halfway through it, I had yet to laugh much, so I was like, why am I wasting time watching comedy that isn't actually making me laugh? And I was getting tired weirdly early as it was.
I even tried reading for a bit and couldn't keep my eyes open. It wasn't even fully dark yet and I fell asleep around 9:30. Shobhit woke me up briefly twice during the night, first when he got up somewhere around 4 a.m. to turn off the fan, and then when he got up about an hour later for today's early shift, but other than that I still slept well -- and I slept for nearly eight hours, which is very unusual.
It was actually drizzly this morning. I still rode my bike, but I wore a rain jacket -- the first time I've worn a jacket in the morning since I could remember. It wasn't really cold at all; I just didn't want my shirt to get wet from riding through the mist. It's supposed to clear up by afternoon, which is good because I still need my bike to make good time riding to the Meridian theatre to watch Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets with Shobhit at 4:50.
So I had lunch with Karen at Six-Seven at the Edgewater Hotel today. Five weeks since I had lunch with her last! We meet on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month, which means occasionally there is a three-week break, and that happened in the past month -- but, she had to cancel our lunch on the 13th.
We split the truffle macaroni & cheese once again. We had something else last time, though, so it had been like, seven weeks since we last had it! Also, for once, the restaurant wasn't packed. Karen theorized it was because it's cloudy and thus not as nice today -- although we both agreed we found it to be a beautiful day today.
We spent a lot of time talking about the President Fuckwit administration, which I suppose is too bad, but whatever. We talked about other stuff too. She works as a consultant on construction projects for ADA compliance, and apparently she consults on a lot of local high-rise projects. She had a party yesterday, inviting a bunch of her clients to her office, to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the American Disabilities act. She told me all about the delicious food the caterer she hired provided.
She didn't text me when she left her office as usual, and did not text me until she was parked. For some reason I still didn't think to ride my bike down there and I walked. That's why it's 1:23 as I write this and I still haven't posted this. But I have now! I need to get back to work. Or at least looking busy.

Chinese authorities have tightened internet controls further by cracking down on what the state media dubbed as online rumor-mongers and websites that spread false information.
A court in southwestern Yunnan province has sentenced two people for "fabricating and spreading online rumors for economic gain", Xinhua news agency reported Wednesday.
Authorities in the provincial capital Kunming sentenced Dong Rubin, who uses the online name "Bianmin", to six-and-a-half years in prison and fined him 350,000 yuan for illegal business operations.
Dong's accomplice, Hou Peng, received a three-year jail term with a reprieve over the same charge, according to the verdict. Hou was also fined 50,000 yuan.
The report said Dong and Hou were convicted of fabricating blog posts at the request of business clients from March 2011 to May 2013.
Dong was also convicted of "creating disturbances" by posting false information and comments about the Mekong River attack, in which 13 sailors were murdered in October 2011 by a Myanmar drug ring, the report said, adding that Dong was planning to lodge an appeal.
Meanwhile, authorities have launched a nationwide crackdown on those spreading online rumors. As part of the new campaign, the government has shut down 43 websites and punished 37 so-called rumor-mongers. The campaign is a joint effort of the National Internet Information Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and the Ministry of Public Security.

The main purpose of the study was to evaluate the resting bioelectrical activity of the upper trapezius muscle (the UT muscle) before and after one of the two interventions: postisometric muscle relaxation (PIR) and Kinesio Taping (KT). Moreover a comparison between group results was conducted. From the initial 61 volunteers, 52 were selected after exclusion criteria and were allocated randomly to 2 groups: PIR group and KT group. Outcome measures were assessed at baseline and completion of the intervention. The primary outcome measure was change in bioelectrical activity of UT muscle evaluated by surface electromyography (sEMG). Secondary outcomes included subjective assessment of pain using visual analogue scale (VAS). Significant differences were found only in KT group: the average resting bioelectrical activity decreased by 0.8 μV () and the average VAS result reduced by 2.0 points (). Greater decrease of VAS results was recorded in KT group compared to PIR group (). Both PIR and KT intervention did not influence significantly the resting bioelectrical activity of UT muscle. KT application was better for pain relief in the studied sample compared with PIR intervention.

Sample Poetry
Hummingbird Whisperer
Glory be to the fierce little warriors
who return to my garden every year.
Come, enjoy, drink the various nectars,
tiny bold ones. You without any fear.
Teach me to cultivate fervor and focus.
Stay in our shared secret sanctuary
created for you with bergamot and phlox,
fuchsia and the feeder hung on the tree
you visit each morning. Hello! Goodbye!
Who could be freer? Fast as a torpedo
when I'm digging, spading, you catch my eye.
Graceful as the wind--glanced from my window.
You share delight with your earthbound sister.
You've made me a hummingbird whisperer.
First published THE AVOCET. Won a prize for Word of Art. Also published in June Cotner collection, EARTH BLESSINGS.
A Friend Asks
why I write poetry
and though I've dreamed of this moment
for years, it stops me like a siren:
Because Mayan women no longer weave chevrons
in desert sunset threads
because it is no longer useful.
Because the snowy egret leaves the marsh forever.
Because the people closest to me suffer.
Because words are bread.
Because writing it is as mapless
as driving down back roads.
Because without it my life is measured in paychecks.
Because I love you and can't tell you.
Because I couldn't stop even if I wanted to.
Because there are so many questions nobody asks.

Idea of no guns for people on no-fly list fails to gain enough backing
Mass shootings might not be predictable, but their aftermaths often are.
Democrats decry the looseness of gun laws and call for more safeguards. Republicans rally around the Second Amendment and call for better mental health treatment.
The fallout from the murders this week in San Bernardino and at a Colorado Planned Parenthood clinic before that has followed the usual script: House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wisconsin, has pushed legislative efforts to improve mental health care; Democrats have offered measures to tighten rules governing the accessibility of guns.
Among them: an attempt by Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-California, this week to deny firearms and explosives to people on the Justice Department's consolidated Terrorist Watch List.
This is a database created after 9/11 of people either known or suspected to be involved in terrorism. Among other roadblocks, it adds them to the government's no-fly list, barring them from boarding an airplane. The George W. Bush administration supported a similar effort.
The GAO has found that between 2004 and 2010, about 91 percent of the gun purchases by people on the watch list went forward.
Feinstein has offered the legislation before and it met a similar fate this week, losing 45-54. Every Democrat but one – Sen. Heidi Heitkampf of North Dakota ‑ voted for it, while every Republican but one – Sen. Mark Kirk of Illinois, who is facing a tough re-election next year in a blue state – voted against it.
Feinstein blamed the defeat on the politically powerful National Rifle Association, which has opposed her measure in the past over the constitutional right to bear arm.
"If you need proof that Congress is a hostage to the gun lobby, look no further than today's vote blocking a bill to prevent known or suspected terrorists from buying guns and explosives," Feinstein said after the vote. "If you're too dangerous to board a plane, you're too dangerous to buy a gun."
Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas opposed her bill, arguing that it was unconstitutional. He offered an alternative that would authorize the attorney general to call for a three-day delay in a gun purchase by someone on the watch list and then a ban if deemed necessary. That also was defeated.
Critics argue that the watch list can wrongly include people and that banning anyone on it from purchasing a gun would violates their Second Amendment rights.
Republican presidential hopefuls Ted Cruz of Texas, Marco Rubio of Florida, Rand Paul of Kentucky and Lindsay Graham of South Carolina all voted against the Terrorist Watch List measure.
So did Republicans from states served by McClatchy newspapers: Thad Cochran and Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Johnny Isakson and David Perdue of Georgia, Richard Burr and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran of Kansas, Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania, Tim Scott of South Carolina and Roy Blunt of Missouri.
Senators who backed Feinstein's bill include Democrats Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell of Washington, Richard Durbin of Illinois, Barbara Boxer of California, Bill Nelson of Florida, Robert Casey of Pennsylvania and Claire McCaskill of Missouri.

Survival at All Costs
On its face, the so-called Nunes memo regarding government surveillance of Trump campaign aide Carter Page in 2016 does little to undermine the case against President Trump and his confederates. It does not contradict the indictments against Paul Manafort or Rick Gates nor explain the plea agreements of Michael Flynn and George Papadopoulos, nor extinguish questions about the extent to which Russia interfered in the election—either in collusion with the Trump campaign or not.
What the Nunes memo does do is escalate the conflict underway between Trump and his partisans and the leaders of the American intelligence and law enforcement communities. This conflict began before Trump's inauguration but now burns hotter than ever as Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation inches closer to the president himself. In ordering the release of the Nunes memo, Trump has signaled his willingness to betray the national security community in favor of his own interest. Whether the facts in the memo are true or not, or whether they burn intelligence sources and methods, matters little in comparison to Trump's egregious calculus of personal interest.

Bike Polo is a fairly-underground game that involves riding your bike and, well, playing polo. For those of you unfamiliar with polo, it is traditionally played on horseback by rich people, I'd imagine. There are growing bike polo scenes and leagues in cities across the country, and a fairly big group that plays regularly on Capitol Hill in Seattle. I asked one bike jockey to give me some tips, and here is what he shared:
1. Get comfortable on your bike. Just as you would want to be a competent horse-rider before playing traditional polo, you are going to want your bike to act as an extension of you. The player shouldn't be focusing on riding the bike during the game, but rather, smashing the ball into the goal like a young Theo Fleury. Except on a bike.
2. Don't always be looking for the shot on goal. Look to your teammates to set up plays. Just like other sports like soccer or lacrosse, passing should be the first thing on your mind. The shots should come when there is a good opportunity. Opportunities come from making passes and capitalizing on opponent's mistakes. So look first, shoot second.
3. Be prepared for injuries. When you're on a bike, flailing a mallet around like a maniac, things will get bloody. Fully expect your shins to come out looking beat up. And wear a good pair of shoes. Some players wear shin guards, but that's for nancy-boys. Wearing a helmet wouldn't kill you either.
See if your city has a local hang out where bike polo takes place. It could be hard to find, but grab a hot dog and watch them play. Maybe even join in. You'll get some laughs at the very least!

Deriving the Schwarzchild metric
The Schwarzschild solution describes spacetime in the vicinity of a non-rotating massive spherically-symmetric object. Of the solutions to the Einstein field equations, it is considered by some to be one of the simplest and most useful. As a result of this, some textbooks omit the rigorous derivation of this metric, provided below.
Assumptions and notation
Working in a coordinate chart with coordinates labelled 1 to 4 respectively, we begin with the metric in its most general form (10 independent components, each of which is a smooth function of 4 variables). The solution is assumed to be spherically symmetric, static and vacuum. For the purposes of this article, these assumptions may be stated as follows
- A spherically symmetric spacetime is one that is invariant under rotations and taking the mirror image.
- A static spacetime is one in which all metric components are independent of the time coordinate (so that) and the geometry of the spacetime is unchanged under a time-reversal .
- A vacuum solution is one that satisfies the equation . From the Einstein field equations (with zero cosmological constant), this implies that since contracting yields .
- Metric signature used here is (+,+,+,−).
Diagonalising the metric
The first simplification to be made is to diagonalise the metric. Under the coordinate transformation, , all metric components should remain the same. The metric components ) change under this transformation as:
- )
But, as we expect (metric components remain the same), this means that:
- )
Similarly, the coordinate transformations and respectively give:
- )
- )
Putting all these together gives:
- )
and hence the metric must be of the form:
where the four metric components are independent of the time coordinate (by the static assumption).
Asteroid Impact Avoidance
Asteroid impact avoidance comprises a number of methods by which near-Earth objects (NEO) could be diverted, preventing destructive impact events. A sufficiently large impact by an asteroid or other NEOs would cause, depending on its impact location, massive tsunamis, multiple firestorms and an impact winter caused by the sunlight-blocking effect of placing large quantities of pulverized rock dust, and other debris, into the stratosphere.
A collision between the Earth and an approximately 10-kilometre-wide object 66 million years ago is thought to have produced the Chicxulub Crater and the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event, widely held responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
While the chances of a major collision are not great in the near term, there is a high probability that one will happen eventually unless defensive actions are taken. Recent astronomical events—such as the Shoemaker-Levy 9 impacts on Jupiter and the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor along with the growing number of objects on the Sentry Risk Table—have drawn renewed attention to such threats. NASA warns that the earth is unprepared.
Deflection efforts
Most deflection efforts for a large object require from a year to decades of warning, allowing time to prepare and carry out a collision avoidance project, as no known planetary defense hardware has yet been developed. It has been estimated that a velocity change of just 3.5/t × 10−2 m·s−1 (where t is the number of years until potential impact) is needed to successfully deflect a body on a direct collision trajectory. In addition, under certain circumstances, much smaller velocity changes are needed.[2] For example, it was estimated there was a high chance of 99942 Apophis swinging by Earth in 2029 with a 10−4 probability of passing through a 'keyhole' and returning on an impact trajectory in 2035 or 2036. It was then determined that a deflection from this potential return trajectory, several years before the swing-by, could be achieved with a velocity change on the order of 10−6 ms−1.[3]
An impact by a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) asteroid on the Earth has historically caused an extinction-level event due to catastrophic damage to the biosphere. There is also the threat from comets coming into the inner Solar System. The impact speed of a long-period comet would likely be several times greater than that of a near-Earth asteroid, making its impact much more destructive; in addition, the warning time is unlikely to be more than a few months.[4] Impacts from objects as small as 50 metres (160 ft) in diameter, which are far more common, are historically extremely destructive regionally.

Aug. 21, 2001 -- Researchers from the Netherlands suggest that people who are battling chronic back pain may need to return to school.
Back patients may already have the reading and writing part down. But special back schools, the experts say, could be helpful by presenting a concentrated program that teaches how to manage pain and get on with life.
In their recent report, published in the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, the Dutch investigators showed that a back school program improves ability to do normal activities while enhancing patients' overall sense of health and diminishing their sense of being disabled.
Study author Audy Hodselmans says these patients often fear that any exertion might bring a return of that all-too-familiar (and excruciating) pain that makes the ailment such a ... pain. So while back pain itself is undeniably real, the limitations it imposes are at least partly a matter of perception, he tells WebMD.
At a back school at the Rehabilitation Center Beatrixoord, in the Netherlands, patients with chronic pain are taught to recognize and pay attention to their body's signals so that they have a better idea of what they can and can't do.
"You have to learn when you can stop and when you can go on," Hodselmans says. "We teach people to perceive when the light is green and when it is red."
In the study, 14 patients received instruction in the back school for an average of three-and a half months. Endurance, ability to function and lift things, and self-perceptions of disability were compared with 10 patients who did not receive the back school instruction.
The results: The patients in school improved significantly compared with the others. "The patients dare to go on longer and knew their physical limitations better, and they improve in physical capacity because they know how to prevent chronic overloading," Hodselmans tells WebMD.
One expert who reviewed the study for WebMD, however, cautioned that this report is based on a very small number of participants and does not measure long-term improvement. It also suffers from the same limitations that other studies on back schools do: It is very hard to know what exactly it is about back school that helps patients improve, says Steven J. Atlas, MD. Atlas is a physician at Massachusetts General Hospital and an instructor in medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
The problem is compounded by the fact that back schools vary markedly in what they teach and how they teach it. Back schools exist in the U.S., sometimes as part of disability insurance plans, sometimes as freestanding clinics, and sometimes as part of a hospital.
"There are multiple things that are done," Atlas tells WebMD. "It may be very simple things such as good education about how to take care of your back, which many doctors do as part of routine practice."
Still, Atlas says there is a body of research that appears to support the effectiveness of back school instruction. So should you go back to school for your back? Atlas says people should have realistic expectations.
"I tell my patients that just because they have had pain for many years doesn't mean they are going to have it forever," Atlas says. "There are important things they can do to live with the pain. A lot of these [back school] programs help them do that. But many patients want a magic cure because they have had the pain for so long. I would love to find it for them, but it's not likely."

Why I'm Running
Affordable Nursing Home Care
Through working with families and estate planning, one of the biggest concerns I hear is that South Dakotans don't feel financially prepared for long term elder care and they are not alone, as 25% of Americans over the age of 45 don't feel ready. Median nursing home costs in the United States 241% of an older person's annual income and Medicaid accounts for 55% of long term care services in South Dakota.
South Dakota has a rising aging population and our current health infrastructure does not have the tools to provide enough services to our grandparents and parents. In fact, only 5.7% to 7.4% of Americans over the age of 45 have long term private care insurance and SD has the second highest nursing home bed occupancy rate in the nation. That is why I am passionate about decreasing costs nursing home care costs for families in South Dakota by developing a state based long term care insurance plan and investing in home and community based services. Investing in home and community based services not only saves money for families and the state, but it also creates opportunities for the people we care about to receive the best care that they deserve.
Better Paying Jobs
I believe in an economy that should work for everyone not just those at the top. I will advocate for economic growth for working and middle class families through prioritizing fair tax structures that reward hard work. I plan to invest in a economic system that provides better benefits and greater job security for South Dakota's workers from across the state. Through creating new incentives for small business owners and job opportunities from new employers, I want to ensure that South Dakota remains to be a state that values families.
No one gets into farming because its a good way to make money, but it's hard to find a better way to raise a family.
Agriculture is the only sector of our economy that still centers around the family, but national corporate agricultural interests threaten the bedrock of Thomas Jefferson's democracy. The conglomeration of land and seed companies threatens the diversity of our crops and the qualify of our food.
My family still makes its living off its farm. I'll fight for yours.
Good Higher Education
I know firsthand the cost of higher education and the difficulties is poses for families in South Dakota and that is why I am passionate about creating a student loan refinancing program, a college savings program, and ending the license suspension law for South Dakotans. South Dakota has some of the highest student loan debt averages in the nation, with the average debt being $21,298 in 2016. Hardworking students should not be crippled by student loan debt and we can help solve this problem by creating a program that allows college graduates with good credit scores to refinance their student loans for lower interest rates. As witnessed in Minnesota after its enactment in 2016, nearly 1,000 students have benefited from a state student loan refinancing program.
Aside from a program creating a program aimed at addressing the student loan debt crisis, I believe that it should be easier to invest in a child's education and that is why I plan to bring legislation that would create a prepaid college savings plan. The program, based on Florida's program, would allow parent(s) and guardian(s) the options to invest in their child's college education at current tuition and fee prices. If their child decided not attend or if the parent(s) overpaid costs, they will be reimbursed. South Dakota is one of the best places to live and raise a family and I can promise to value yours in the South Dakota Legislature.

The All-Access Cruise
A Cruise Aboard the Pelagian Reveals the Full Range of Indonesia's Underwater Riches
The reefs within Wakatobi Resort's marine preserve provide snorkelers and divers with a wealth of marine diversity—more than anyone could take in in a single visit. And yet, even with this plethora of underwater opportunities, which begin right at the resort beach, it's only natural to wonder what lies beyond. The answer to that question is Pelagian.
Taking to sea
To complement its land-based operation, Wakatobi Resort manages the Pelagian, a 115-foot/35m dive yacht that cruises the Wakatobi archipelago and the southern portion of Buton Island. These waters lie within the Coral Triangle, a region known to contain the highest coral reef bio-diversity in the world.
Seven-day itineraries and seasonal 10-day trips take in a diverse range of underwater environments, from steep walls perforated by overhangs along the outside edge of Karang Kaledupa and Karang Kapota atolls to the exceptional muck diving opportunities of Buton Island's Pasarwajo Bay. The Pelagian also skirts the southwestern edges of Wangi Wangi and Kaledupa Islands, providing another round of magnificent reefs, dramatic vertical drop-offs and pinnacles, each revealing a kaleidoscopic menagerie of marine life.
A proper yacht
The Pelagian is not a typical live-aboard vessel, as it is configured to take a maximum of just ten divers in five spacious cabins. Guests enjoy comfortable yacht-like accommodations more akin to a hotel room with even en suite bathrooms and showers. A crew of twelve includes an executive chef and stewards, adding fine dining and five-star service to the itinerary.
Diving activities are conducted from a pair of custom-fabricated dive tenders, with the crew handling all gear management. Dives are led by one of Wakatobi's guides, who provide in-water support when requested or needed, and are experts at locating rare marine subjects. Because dives are conducted either in shallow-water muck sites or on structures with significant vertical reliefs that are ideal for multi-level profiles, bottoms times routinely exceed 70 minutes, and the schedule allows for up to four dives a day, including night dives.
Ready set, reef
Day one of a cruise starts on Wakatobi's doorstep with a couple of afternoon warm up dives before the Pelagian pulls away to begin its journey north towards Buton Island. The next morning finds divers exploring sites between the massive reef atolls of Karang Kaledupa and Karang Kapota. Here, the reefs are among the most colorful and dramatically-contoured in the region. The top edges of these structures are carpeted with a wide variety of hard and soft corals. The slopes and walls that plunge into the depths are covered in a different but equally broad collection of large, vibrant-colored soft coral trees and gorgonians in red, orange, pink and yellow. With dramatic drops and visibility that typically exceeds 75 meters, these sites are ideal for taking in the big picture and sometimes serve up open-water species like blackfin barracuda, sea turtles and eagle rays.
In addition to providing dramatic seascapes, these reefs hold a wealth of small finds. An excellent place to look for these are among the sea whips that cover the slopes and walls of many dive sites. Though often overlooked by passing divers, these feathery corals are a haven for whip gobies and small shrimp. A highlight of any Pelagian cruise is the abundant opportunities to find pygmy seahorses, as dives are made in areas home to three of the most prominent species: the bargibant, Denise and pontoh's. One of the specialties of the Pelagian's crew is locating the tiny, white pontoh's (Hippocampus pontohi), seahorse sheltered among the halimeda algae. Capturing these small creatures can be a challenging exercise in macro photography, but they make for great subjects whether you view them with a camera or an underwater magnifying glass.

Protect our Democracy
Under President Trump, our democracy faces grave danger. This huddle will monitor threats to our liberties and values. When necessary, we will urge elected officials and fellow citizens to act decisively through legislative channels, voting and protest. We see worrisome signs of a weakened democracy in:
The erosion of civil liberties and human rights. A decline in political civility and the use of fear-mongering that divides social classes, minorities and ethnic groups.
Disregard for the rule of law; legislation or executive orders that curb individual rights or the rights of a targeted group, such as immigrants.
Contempt for the freedom of the press and efforts to block the press's access to information.
Fomenting cynicism and mistrust about institutions that are essential to democracy: legitimate journalism, independent judiciary, academia.
Curtailing of voting rights. We have already seen minorities purged from voter registration rolls in Republican controlled states and observed how the redrawing of state and congressional districts assures a party stays in power.
A government ruled by the rich for personal gain; the unbridled use of money in politics.
This huddle sees cynicism and apathy as a threat to democracy. Our outreach will put a spotlight on the importance of voting
and community involvement, and direct you to articles, videos,
books and organizations to inform your action
in support of our democracy.
David Frum, journalist, political commentator

Lighting Roundup!
Elizabeth Tobin
I fell in love with lighting in my time studying at Lorenze de Medici - The Italian International institute in Florence. But it has been in the field that I've learned just how trans-formative lighting can be to a space. From table lamps and sconces, to chandeliers there are so many elements of the right lighting choice that make a room feel full. I pulled few of my lighting favorites from past and current projects to show off not only their diversity but just how they enhance the style of a room.
Understanding lighting is to also know that there is tons of it out there. Decisiveness, a keen eye, and a great sense spacial understanding are really important factors when presenting options to your clients. The pictures below are two examples of how the same floor lamp in different styles worked in two very different spaces. On the left we installed this lamp in a traditional study with dark wood features. The right was a transitional living space that had a much more modern feel. Follow us on Instagram for more inspiring install shots and an inside look at our recent projects!

Salvaging a Savernake swamp
03 August 2015
Local farmers, Bill and Cecile Nixon are participating in a project to store wetland carbon and attract woodland and wetland birds back to their Savernake property.
Bill & Cecile are part of a group of 13 farmers in region who have entered a partnership with Murray Darling Wetlands Working Group and Murray Local Land Services funded by the Australian Government to rehabilitate degraded wetlands on their properties.
Through the Murray Wetland Carbon Storage project, the Nixons have received financial and technical support to fence and revegetate an 8ha wetland. "We want to better manage the area to encourage native vegetation growth and to bring woodland and wetland birds back to the site" said Cecile.
"We are thrilled to be part of the project and can't wait to see changes to the vegetation and wildlife use of the wetland area. I'd encourage anyone who has a wetland or swamp on their land to get involved in the project" she added.
A new funding round of the Murray Wetland Carbon Storage Project is now open and wetland sites are being sought in the central area of the NSW Murray region. Activities such as revegetation, altered grazing management (including fencing), pest animal control, weed control, environmental water delivery, and educational and monitoring resources to improve wetland management are supported by the project.
Landholders within the local government areas of Berrigan, Jerilderie, Urana, Corowa and Greater Hume who are interested in rehabilitating wetlands on their properties should contact Sarah Ning (refer to more information below), to register their interest.

KAMLOOPS, B.C. – The NEBC Yukon Trackers notched their first pair of wins this season in Kamloops at the Thanksgiving International Classic Midget Tier 1 tournament.
As of Sunday, the Trackers had gone 2-and-1 at the tournament, losing their first game against North Vancouver 3-2. Nick Vander Ploeg and Connor Bowie both scored goals in that game, helped by Garyn Waldie and Aiden Craig-Steele.
The Trackers pumped up the jam on Saturday, winning game 2 against the Delta Hockey Academy 7-4, and game three blanking Ridge Meadows 1-0. In those two games, Connor Bowie notched 2 goals, while Waldie, Vander Ploeg, Craig-Steele, Logan Kimmie, Curtis Hammond, and Keenan Halverson each scored once. Kimmie and Jayden Picket each notched two helpers in Games 2 and 3, while Halverson, Nathan Bragg, Joel Bourgeois, and Jeridyn Loewen also tallied assists.
On Sunday, the Trackers took to the ice against the Nanaimo Clippers for their final game of the Round Robin. Things looked good initially, as both Nicholas Vanderploeg and Cooper Beamish put the Trackers up 2-0 by the end of the first. Joel Bourgeois assisted on both goals, along with Jeridyn Loewen and Aiden Craig-Steele. In the 2nd period, Nanaimo made it a 2-1 game 8:00 into the frame, but Logan Kimmie responded for the Trackers with 2:00 left in the period, assisted by Craig-Steele and Jayden Piket. In the third period, things took a turn for the worse as the Clippers managed to put the Trackers on their heels with a trio of goals in less than four minutes to take the lead 4-3. After pulling netminder Brandon Clark for the extra attacker, the Clippers sealed the deal to knock the Trackers out of the tournament.
The Trackers will be playing their first two games of the Northern Alberta Midget Hockey League this coming weekend, after their season opener in Grande Prairie on October 1st was cancelled due to heavy snow. The Trackers will be taking on the Leduc Roughnecks on Saturday, October 15th at 1:45 p.m. for their home opener. On Sunday, the Trackers are back in action on home ice when they host the Strathcona ACT Warriors at 10:00 a.m.

Rihanna's Indian Doppelgänger Gains Fame For Being Spitting Image Of The Star

It seems like Rihanna isn't the Only Girl in the World to look like herself.
Model Renee Kujur from Chhattisgarh, India, is now in the internet's spotlight for bearing incredibly similar facial features with the Grammy award-winning singer.
The Hindustan Times reported that the model was first turned away and "ridiculed" by many recruiters in the country, where fairer-skinned talents are more revered. "Photographers would tell makeup artists to make [darker models] three to four tones lighter and heavily photoshop [their] pictures," Kujur said.
Kujur's friend later remarked how she was the spitting image of Rihanna, though the model brushed her words off. "But soon, everyone was saying the same thing," and Kujur began clinching more partnerships as photographers informed future clients about the resemblance.
Since the newspaper published its feature on the model, she's been receiving worldwide attention—and she's no longer denying how alike she looks with the Barbadian beauty icon. Kujur has changed her Instagram handle to 'badgalrene', a play on Rihanna's username and moniker, 'badgalriri'.
Check out some uncanny photos of the up-and-comer. You have got to love the way her facial features lie in similarities with those of Rihanna's.
Our good wishes to Ms. Renee Kujur.— TribalStuff (@TribalStuff) July 4, 2018
Meet India's Rihanna lookalike, the Chhattisgarh girl who went from ridicule to Riri. Renee Kujur was ridiculed for having a dark complexion, but now she is proud of the way she looks.

Word of the Year 2018
There's something refreshing about the new year. Everything seems possible. All the things that went wrong in the year before seem a lot less like failures and a lot more like lessons. It's easy to make promises ourselves in this sweet time between Christmas and the New Year. It's a lot harder to keep them once, as Sam Hunt puts it, "the New Year withers away."
Last year, on January 1, I sat in church and listened to a sermon about New Year's Resolutions and why they always always seem to fail.
You see, the issue is that every year we tell ourselves that we're going to change, that this year is going to be the year. This is the year we are going to change our behavior. But guess what? Changing our behavior only gets us so far. Why? Because the issue isn't our behavior. It's our hearts.
In church that day, I asked God to show me what the issue in my heart was. I've spent all year trying to figure it out. And in November, God finally showed it to me.
He gave me this verse:
For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
(Hebrews 12:11)
Um, what?
That's not a fun verse.
It literally says that things will be worse before they get better.
Not the "you can do it" message I was looking for.
But as soon as I read it, something clicked.
Discipline was the heart issue I'd been asking for God to reveal. It was the core principle that caused my constant failures in my attempts to budget and lose weight and eat healthy and exercise and stay on top of my work and read my Bible consistently. Discipline, or my lack thereof, was the reason behind everything.
So my word of the year for 2018 is DISCIPLINE. It's the thing I want to work on. I always considered myself hard-working and disciplined, but God spent this year, literally from day 1, showing me the places where I'm not disciplined, where I need to exercise my least favorite fruit of the spirit (self-control).
What I wanted for all of the areas in my life where I struggle is a quick and permanent fix. God is showing me that this isn't how life works. For real, lasting change to happen, we have to work at it. We have to be willing to suffer now for a greater payoff later.
I'm leaning into the pain in the short term (you know, the pain of getting up at 6 am to go the gym, the pain of cooking dinner instead of eating out, the pain of tightening up my cash outflow) and trusting that the fruit will come. Seeds have to be planted before anything can grow.
2018 starts TODAY. What are you trying to change this year? How are you going to hold yourself accountable? How can I support you? Here's to hoping that 2018 is the year we finally lean in to the struggle and trust that God will turn it into something beautiful.

I don't know about you, but I honestly became overwhelmed with all the crafty and creative ways to decorate this holiday season. It could have also been because I have a mini obsession with Pinterest but who doesn't. When I hit Black Friday a little too hard this year, I knew I had to be careful on my holiday wrapping supplies expense. I decided to go the cheapest route and picked up a couple of newspapers when I was at my local grocery store. The next stop was to my local Michael's craft store. Little did I know almost all their holiday decorations and supplies were on sale, big time.
The first thing I saw when I walked in, was a display of gift tags. I picked up a set of classic brown homemade gift tags and a gold metallic pen. I attempted to look for pretty burlap ribbon, but all the good stuff was gone however in another area of the store I found perfect assorted ribbon stack sets. All the ribbon was 70% percent off so I got two different stacks. Lastly, on my way to check out, I walked by bins of different shiny color wrapping paper. I picked up a shiny gold one but quickly put it back when I saw the solid white 'craft' paper. And there you have it, all my supplies for wrapping my gifts and my total was under $20. Let the creativity begin!
Happy Holidays,
