Leadership …is it an acquired skill that is developed over time like fine wine, or is it something that you are naturally born with?
Who knows the answer to that, but I do know that leadership skills can be developed through proper training. There are a lot of leadership programs out there, but most are generic and are all about theory. What if there was a program that guaranteed real results for real managers that can be quantified and are specific to the job that manager does?
Strong leadership entails a multitude of skills and talents that are hard to translate to "up and comers" in your organization. Often we promote from within and hope that our future leaders will emerge from on-the-job-training, management supervision, or by the seat of their pants. Some companies will send their managers to either a two-day seminar or even a week-long training which is normally forgotten in a few weeks, and very little is translated into job performance. First we all lose or forget much of what we learn at seminars, and second, what we learn may not be practical to implement in our own jobs when we get back to work. When this happens a few times, employees begin to look at any training as just a waste of time and resent being asked to go to the next program.
At Lighthouse Strategic Partners we have worked with our clients to provide real world, business focused tools to implement in your place of work to get extraordinary results that are repeatable and that dovetail well specifically with your organizations goals.
If you are looking to develop your company's leaders of the future, or know of companies who do, please have them contact us so that we can explain how this program works and why it will make a difference in their lives. Call Kevin Glynn at Lighthouse Strategic Partners at 508-946-2655.

Last Stop Tokyo by James Buckler
Last Stop Tokyo is a thriller that takes the darker side of Tokyo as its backdrop.
Leaving his troubles behind in London and wanting a fresh start, Alex Mallory works as an English teacher in Tokyo. The only person he knows in the city is Hiro, a friend from university days. Hiro introduces Alex to Naoki, and they secretly start seeing each other. From that point on, everything starts to go wrong for Alex. Both have things in their past they don't want to share.
Alex is a good person who finds himself mixed up with some very bad people. Naoko is unpredictable and rash. Both are damaged people who make decisions that have devastating consequences.
After an argument about Alex's past, Naoki breaks it off with him. Both of them want the relationship to succeed but they both refuse to reveal their failures. Their argument turns into a violent fight and the police are called. Naoki has to decide to tell the truth about the argument or save her reputation by telling a lie. She decides to lie to save face. In trouble, Alex finds himself accused of a crime he didn't commit.
From there, the story progresses with a sense of dread that things are not going to get any better for Alex, building to a very unexpected ending. Last Stop Tokyo is a book about secrets, betrayal and hard choices.

Cal Poly students share visions for proposed homeless facility
The design of a proposed homeless facility in San Luis Obispo has been the focus of recent classes taught by a Cal Poly architecture professor.
Cal Poly architecture graduate Helena Garrovillas Pineda's senior project four years ago began the flow of ideas for how the 200-bed facility might look. In the winter quarter, 18 Cal Poly students in professor Chuck Crotser's design class continued the effort by creating designs that included digital and physical models. Similar projects were completed in a class he taught in spring 2009.
"I introduce it not only as a class project but as a civic undertaking," Crotser said. "I expect ideas from students to be used with the actual design (by a professional architect) for the new center."
The proposed building at Prado Road and South Higuera Street — the result of a coalition of several local government agencies, nonprofit organizations and private citizens — is set to go before the San Luis Obispo Planning Commission in June for consideration of a use permit.
If the commission approves, professional architectural renderings of the facility would be submitted for review.
For her senior project, Pineda visited homeless facilities in New York City and Los Angeles, even sleeping at one to get a better sense of the accommodations, she said.
Pineda's model featured a three-story building that separated the homeless women and children from men in different wings and provided a kitchen, recreation room, salon and computer room.
"I wanted to see what worked and what didn't," said Pineda, now an architect in Orange County. "I think it's great the San Luis Obispo project is becoming a reality."
Models of smaller buildings — such as those designed by Cal Poly students Jeffrey Yip and Tanya Moore — include a grass roof feature that helps cuts cooling and heating costs. The proposed new facility is expected to be about 23,000 square feet.
"In my opinion, the new building should not radically stand out on the streetscape because that would draw unwanted attention to the homeless community" (a consideration in preserving good relations with neighbors), Yip said. "Overall this project was one of the most rewarding I've done."
An estimated 3,829 homeless people are scattered through the county, and the city of San Luis Obispo has about 1,025 homeless people.
The proposed facility will be near the Prado Day Center, which serves about 130 people during the day and 90 people at night, coordinators say.
Dee Torres, director of Homeless Services with the Community Action Partnership of San Luis Obispo, said a capital campaign to raise money for the facility would be undertaken and that donations, grants and in-kind materials and construction work would be needed.
"There are some challenges," Torres said. "But the community has been so positive. I think people know that it's really needed."

Irish bookie follows stolen client cache to Ontario basement
by Katia Dmitrieva and Donal Griffin, Bloomberg
Jason Ferguson said the job was straightforward: buy a gambling company's client data and flip it to a rival who could use the information to win new customers.
Instead, the story ended last month with a fleet of cars arriving outside his home in a cul-de-sac in a suburb of Brockville, a town three-and-a-half hours drive northeast of Toronto. The convoy included forensics experts and representatives of Paddy Power Plc, the operator of the largest online sports book in the U.K. and Ireland.
After Ferguson was shown court orders, the 40-year-old led the team to his basement, where they seized a hard drive and other equipment containing the names, contact details, addresses, dates of birth, and secret questions and answers for more than 600,000 Paddy Power clients that they later wiped clean...

Supreme Court Committee suggests ways to stop government's wasteful newspaper ads
As per a report published in NDTV, a committee was created in April 2014 after non-profit groups urged the apex court to stop governments from misusing public money. The case alleged that governments at the Centre and in states use these ads to "promote private interests."
The three members of the committee have recommended that a list of personalities whose birth or death anniversaries will be marked with ads must be prepared in advance by the governments. The government must then specify which ministry should release the ad to avoid different departments and state-run companies from paying tribute to the same leader with a multitude of ads.
"There should be a single advertisement only," the committee says. The report also said that government advertisements should not comprise photos of politicians and if that is not possible the ads should feature only one of these leaders: the President, Prime Minister, Governor or Chief Minister.
The committee has said that its recommendations are to prevent "the arbitrary use of public funds for advertising... to project particular personalities, parties or governments without any attendant public interest."
The committee has further said, ads must steer clear of the glorification of political personalities.
It has also urged that its recommendations, once cleared by the Supreme Court, be implemented till the government passes a law to prevent the misuse of public funds for advertising.
Now, the Supreme Court will review the committee's report.
The Directorate of Advertising & Visual Publicity (DAVP) is the nodal agency of the Government of India for advertising by various Ministries and organisations of Government of India including public sector undertakings and autonomous bodies.


text: Your second essay will be an evaluation, a type of essay that seeks to influence or change a reader's opinion about a subject by analyzing it on established criteria and asserting an overall judgement. For example: A product review seeks to influence a consumer's decision to purchase a product. Your task: 1) Choose a subject for your evaluation. Here are some ideas that you may choose from: a local restaurant, a food truck, a bar or cocktail lounge, a public figure, a professional athlete, a community/state/national leader (not necessarily a politician), a film, a video, a painting, a photograph, an advertisement, a travel destination, a park, a university, a zoo, a vehicle, or an airline. You may choose to review The Laramie Project, a play running at Delgado's Timothy K. Baker Theater Sept. 20 - Oct. 7. Ultimately, you are free to evaluate any subject, but every student must discuss his/her topic with me before writing. Keep in mind: your reader may be unfamiliar with your subject; they may already have an opinion on it; their opinion might vastly differ from yours. Consider these possibilities early on in the process. 2) Next, break down your subject into its most important criteria. For example: Criteria for evaluating a music video might include visuals, music, lyrics, choreography, special effects, editing, themes, or narrative. 3) Analyze the subject's value in each criterion. Use examples to support your analysis. Sample scenario: I am evaluating a science fiction novel. I decide to evaluate the novel based on the criteria of language, character, plot, and genre. First, I assess the author's use of language: the author's description of the world is vivid but meandering. I then use two or three examples from the novel to support this statement. Next, I examine character: the novel's heroine is complex and realistic, but her speech rings false. I proceed to support this estimation with more examples. Third, I appraise the plot: full of surprising twists and turns but disconnected at certain important junctures. Again, I use examples from the novel to back up my analysis. Finally, I consider the novel's genre: Although it is marketed as hard science fiction, I identify several archetypal devices of the classic mystery novel to be skillfully integrated. At last, I support my final observation with more examples taken directly from the subject. 4) Synthesize your analysis into an overall judgment. You will assert this judgement (or main idea) in your thesis statement. Is your subject effective/ineffective? Successful/unsuccessful? Overrated/underrated? Worthwhile/not worthwhile? To continue my sample scenario from above: Adding up all my thoughts about the novel under various criteria, I assert that overall, the novel is deftly written with an artful hand, save for the few rookie mistakes of a young writer. Remember your audience; your judgement may depend on what your reader values most. If your audience most likely agrees with your judgment already, then you should choose a different topic. 5) Step into your readers' shoes and respond to some objections they may raise about your judgement or analysis. For example: Another reader of this novel might find its cyborg crimelord antagonist to be flat or one-dimensional. I acknowledge this objection and counterargue that the author intended this effect for the antagonist in order to contrast the protagonist's complexity, thematically reflecting that she is the only organic being in a society of machines. 6) You must organize your evaluation into a clear, logical structure with smooth transitions and a progressive arrangement of ideas.

Una is a Spanish Restaurant, Tapas Bar & Wine Bar with Alfresco Dining helmed by Chef Jean-Philippe Patruno in the lushly Rochester Park.
[We revisited UNA for their new menu.]
As a Spanish Restaurant, Tapas, Paella are the usual that we tend to associate. Lesser known is the Spanish Grilled, equally go after for which is also found on Una menu. A pity, we didn't order any this round.
At every Spanish Restaurant, Tapas should never be missed out.
Cold meats, pan con tomate & manchego cheese
The platter of cold meats ($28) is with the selection of the best Spanish hams & cold cuts and pan con tomate and manchego cheese. This was the only cold tapas, among 4, we tried.
Among the 4 diners, most didn't enjoy the sweetish sourish jam like pan con tomate, but I did. I thought it was a good break of saltiness that existed throughout the cold cuts and cheese.
Grilled octopus
Smoky tender grilled octopus ($32) on a bed of ratte potatoes with paprika, a chef's special, was the description on the menu.
Indeed exactly per the description on the menu.
Potato bomba
Consisting of Fluffy potato with a meat & potato stuffing was the Potato bomba ($14)
Though I spotted meat but I tasted mainly the potato and the sauce topped on the bomba. I could hardly savour the meat.
Ibérico ham croquetta
Creamy béchamel croquettes ($14) with Ibérico ham is another Chef's Special we ordered.
It totally fitted the description.
Paella is another highlight in Spanish Restaurant. Though I never quite like rice but somehow I always enjoy Paella. Una offered 3 Paella dishes; 2 rice and 1 pasta. All are Chef's Special.
It offers 2 sizes; small (for 2 – 3 pax) or large (for 4 – 6 pax). We ordered a rice and a pasta paella. Both small.
Black rice paella
On its menu, the annotation of the Black rice paella ($62) was "beautifully stewed in savoury squid ink broth & topped with crispy baby squid"
All the rice was infused with squid ink and homogeneously black. It was a pity we find it far too salty.
Seafood fideuà
Seafood fideuà ($62) is a Barcelona-style paella with fideuà pasta & fresh seafood
This was my first time trying out a pasta paella. The pasta was amazing flavourful. The seafood fragrance permeated into the pasta. I wouldn't mind having only the pasta without the seafood. 4 thumbs up for the Seafood fideuà.
Desserts is my soft spot. I would love to have everything as usual. On Una menu, there are 5 items excluding Cheese. We tried 2 of them. I was a little disappointed to see that none of the dessert was the Chef's Special.
Churros & chocolat
Churros & chocolat ($14) Crispy churros with dark chocolate sauce & light honey ice cream
The churros served at Una was one of the softest, fluffiest fried dough. And when eaten together with the dark chocolate sauce, it was fabulous. The ice cream was smooth and creamy but I thought it wouldn't make a different having it on the plate.
Panna cotta with popcorn
Our second dessert for the night was Panna cotta with popcorn ($15) is a light crème pudding with sherry apricot puree, topped with popcorn fluff
The sherry apricot puree brought out the best of the panna cotta.
NAHMJ Opinion and Picks
Hits and misses are inevitable. Nonetheless, all 4 diners enjoyed the dinner at Una though it was a shame that the Black rice paella was far too salty. Otherwise, it would have been a much more enjoyable dinner.
NAHMJ picks at UNA are Grilled Octopus, Ibérico ham croquetta, Seafood fideuà and both desserts; Churros & chocolat and Panna cotta with popcorn.

Unilever-owned Axe, under the name Haus of Axe, launched a series of short films in Brazil entitled Romeo Reboot. The shorts are a remake of the Shakespearean tragedy Romeo and Juliet, featuring four modern day romantics and directed by a selection of critically-acclaimed Brazilian filmmakers and storytellers.
The content was advertised using programmatic-powered trailers, which target four different audience segments based on factors such as musical tastes and previous brand purchases. Six of 11 scenes in the trailer can be personalized according to the viewer's profile, resulting in a total of 100,000 possible permutations of the advert.
The campaign was created with research firm Box1824 and advertising agency CUBOCC, São Paulo. Produced by KUMITE.

When I'm shooting for a documentary, my main focus is the video camera. But I love taking stills, so I find myself snapping a few quick shots as I'm leaving, getting into the van to head to the next location.
These photos were taken of school children at a little village outside Bujumbura, Burundi. Workers were constructing a new school building, and the principal had come out — at my request — to keep the kids from getting in the shots while I gathered footage of the construction site.
But when I pulled out my still camera, and hung out with the kids to take some photos of them, I forgot to tell the principal it was okay for the kids to pose. While I was taking pictures, he came over with a switch and whacked the kids and they scattered. But not before I caught one little boy wearing a cup on his head, and snapped a few shots of the other kids who had swarmed around me as we prepared to leave.

Tabli is a free browser extension for Google Chrome and compatible web browsers that improves the tab management in several significant ways.
One of the main limitations of Google Chrome is the browser's non-scrolling tab bar. The more tabs you open in a browser window, the less information about each open tab is displayed by the Chrome browser.
Eventually, all you get are very small tabs that don't show text or site favicons at all making it nearly impossible to identify open websites in the browser.
While you can resolve the issue by limiting the number of tabs open at any given time, or by using multiple browser windows, most tab-heavy Chrome users help themselves by installing browser extensions that improve tab management.
Chrome's extension APIs don't allow add-ons to manipulate the browser interface, and the majority of tab management solutions for Chrome use icon-based management instead.
Tabli is a new extension for Chrome that does the same. It adds an icon to Chrome's toolbar that you can click on to display all open tabs in the current and other open windows.
A click jumps directly to any of the open tabs, and there is also an option to close tabs directly from the menu.
A search at the top provides you with options to find open websites quickly. This can be very useful if lots of tabs are open as space for the display is limited.
There is more to the extension than that though. If you like to use the keyboard, you will find several new keyboard shortcuts added to Chrome by the extension that improve tab and window handling.
The main shortcut is Ctrl-. which opens the Tabli popup. Once the popup is open, you may use up and down arrow keys, or Ctrl-up or Ctrl-down to navigate between tabs or windows that are open.
Enter jumps to the selection, and Esc closes the popup window again.
Another interesting feature is the ability to save windows and tabs. This works similar to Firefox's Tab Groups feature, allowing you to save and restore windows at any time.
To save a window, and all tabs it contains, simply open the Tabli menu in Chrome, hover over the window and check the box that appears next to its title.
Saved windows can be closed, and Tabli will display them the next time you launch its interface under "saved closed windows" from where they can be opened again.
The feature is useful if you use a specific set of websites at times, but not all the time. Maybe you require some for work, entertainment or shopping. Using the save window feature, you could save them and open them only when you need to access them.
You reduce the memory that Chrome requires to run if you close tabs that you don't need at that point in time.
Closing Words
Tabli does not reinvent the wheel, but it is a well designed tab management extension for the Chrome browser that improves how you work with tabs in it significantly.
It is of little use to Chrome users who have only a handful of tabs open in the browser at any given time though.
Now You: Do you use tab management extensions?

I find it too hard to work without tab mix plus, and there's nothing remotely close to that for chrome
Yeah the only tab management extensions you get are like Tabli.
Me too – it's the biggest thing keeping me on Firefox (maybe the only thing other than a vague distrust of Google)
Most people don't need an advanced tab management in their browser – and a multi-row tab bar is definitely part of that – but those that do will never be happy with a half-baked method as this one. Nice try, just like all those other tab management "solutions" for Chromium based browsers, but they all fail in usability.
Why would I ever want to lower myself to use an uncomfortable system such as this, when other browsers offer a functioning tab-bar instead? Google isn't interested in doing anything but the minimum about their browser's interface, while other Chromium-based browsers haven't improved their own interfaces enough. I think only qupZilla offers multi-row tabs, or am I wrong about that browser too? Anyway, it wouldn't be a solution, since it doesn't support browser extensions and is quite limited in its use because of that.
I'm still counting on Vivaldi, a browser which seems to have collected all those good things Opera left behind in their jump from versions 12 to 15. It's not there yet and probably won't be for quite a while, but their browser interface is flexible enough that a large number of interface customizations are not only theoretically but also practically possible. They only need to be implemented.
I just wanted a better way to fix tabs that I use the most so that I don't have to open them again and again and they don't close when I don't want them to. Does Chrome or Firefox offer that?
you can right click on a Chrome tab and Pin it. it will re-open next time.
Personally, you can consider running two or more windows of Chrome, if you have to open multiple or many pages at the same time. to do so, you simply press your left click then drag the target page.
One Tab
Tab Outliner
Session Buddy
Are what I use when in Chrome.
Not perfect but better than nothing.
I'll second Tab Outliner and Session Buddy. Give me most of what I got from TMP, and with Tab Outliner, a little more in some respects.

The Bull Statue Copyright Claim Is Ridiculous... But Here's Why It Just Might Work
from the and-the-law-may-agree dept
You're probably quite familiar with the famous Charging Bull statue (also known as the "Wall Street Bull") which is found in Bowling Green Park right off Wall St. in lower Manhattan. The statue was originally placed there as a "guerilla sculpture" by artist Arturo Di Modica without permission.
Eventually, because New Yorkers seemed to like the damn thing, the city granted a "temporary" permit allowing the statue to remain (a little ways away from where it was originally placed) -- and so it's remained there, "temporarily," for 28 years. Of course, there have been some conflicts over the bull. In 2009, we wrote about Di Modica suing people for copyright infringement, which seems kind of nutty given that he originally just dumped the statue in the street without getting permission.
But, now, Di Modica is taking the copyright craziness up a notch. As you hopefully heard, last month, State Street Global Advisors placed a "companion" statue of a young girl facing down the bull. The statue, called Fearless Girl, was created by artist Kristen Visbal, and was put in place on the eve of International Women's Day, as a reminder that Wall Street doesn't exactly have a history of hiring women or treating them well. Originally designed to be temporary (not unlike the bull), after lots of New Yorkers spoke up, the girl has been given a one-year permit, and many expect that (like the bull) it will remain longer.
Image via Wikicommons -- under a CC BY-SA 4.0 license.
There have been some criticisms of the statue, but the latest is the most surprising. Di Modica is claiming that it violates his copyright and he's going to do... something about it.
The Italian-born sculptor Arturo Di Modica said the presence of the girl infringed on his own artistic copyright by changing the creative dynamic to include the other bold presence.
That is... not how copyright generally works (in the US), of course. Adding another piece of art next to a piece of artwork isn't a copyright violation. Except that in this case, it's unfortunately a bit more complicated. While most of the rest of the world recognizes a form of "moral rights" alongside copyright, the US has (smartly) mostly rejected moral rights. However, in order to officially ratify the Berne Convention on copyrights, the US was supposed to recognize moral rights, and we did so in a half-assed way, passing a law called VARA -- the Visual Artists Rights Act of 1990 -- now 17 USC 106A, which gives moral rights to visual works such as paintings and... sculptures.
Uh oh.
Yeah, so under VARA, the artist:
shall have the right to prevent the use of his or her name as the author of the work of visual art in the event of a distortion, mutilation, or other modification of the work which would be prejudicial to his or her honor or reputation
So... the question here would be whether or not placing another statue nearby, staring down the bull and making a point about diversity (1) modifies the bull statue in a way that is (2) "prejudicial to" Di Modica's "honor or reputation." Or, there's the more objective way to look at this which is: this is all insane. Di Modica dumped his bull statue on the street nearly 30 years ago to make a point. That he is now looking to use a stretched definition of copyright law to block someone else from doing the same thing referencing his own iconic statue is... just kind of crazy.
Importantly, though, this is interesting timing as it relates to moral rights. The US has been correct in (mostly) resisting putting in place a moral rights regime, and focusing on copyright as an economic right. Unfortunately, at this very moment, the Copyright Office is "studying" the issue of whether or not moral rights should be expanded. The first round of public comments has closed (you can read those comments if you'd like), but response comments are open until May 15th. Given this example of moral rights gone mad, perhaps it might be useful for the Copyright Office to be reminded of how moral rights might be used to stifle and stamp out important expression.
Update: Law professor James Grimmelmann points out that Di Modica probably has no legitimate moral rights claim either, seeing as the statue predated VARA, and that he "transferred the title by accession when he installed it." Which makes sense, but is still a reminder that we should be concerned about moral rights overreach.

It all starts with a decision
manuelita otero
Have you ever waited in line at a grocery store when a cashier is new? Or maybe driven behind a person who is learning how to drive? Do you remember your first day at work or in a classroom? It's hard to start something new, isn't? You are excited and at the same time nervous; you feel uncertain and a little uncomfortable because there is so much you don't know.
The same thing could happen when we start following Jesus. We may feel overwhelmed by the things we don't understand. We may put too much pressure on ourselves and to avoid looking "ignorant" we keep questions to ourselves. A relationship with Christ can seem complicated, but it isn't!
God loves us where we are. He is not expecting us to be a certain way or to reach a certain level before we can go to Him. But for some reason we seem to believe that to be a "worthy" Christian we need to have completed steps; to have read the whole Bible at least once or to be able to quote several verses. Our walk with God is all about an amazing journey, which starts with a decision. The decision is very personal and straight forward: Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior? Only you can decide, and if your answer is "yes!", God will guide your journey according to His plan and your needs. He will place the people you need in your path and He will celebrate each victory with you. Nothing is too small, because every step towards Him is worthy of celebration. This is not a race against your friends or the people at church who seem spiritual because they know so much, this is a relationship between you and God; and the more time you spend with Him, the more you will get to know Him. "The Spirit and the bride say, 'Come!' And let him who hears say, 'Come!' Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life." (Revelations 22:17)
In the Bible we often read about step by step progress. Jesus would speak about planting and harvesting, "…The one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown." (Matthew 13:23) We also read about how God's people would often be on a journey and through it all He was by their side: "By day the Lord went ahead of them in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night." (Exodus 13:21)
If you are a young Christian, taking your first steps in this amazing journey, I am so happy for you, and I would like to share some of the things that have helped me along the way:
Make quiet time your priority: Time with God is the most wonderful way to start your day. I know that I need to spend time with God as soon as I wake up, but for some reason it is hard to stay still and separate time with Him. That is why it has to be done on purpose. The enemy will use many tactics to stop you from having that fellowship with God. Make it a habit and work everything else around it, you will notice a difference in your life.
Start a journal: Leave a trail of your journey so you can go back and praise God for all He has done, and also to find strength remembering that nothing is too hard for Him. Our journey is so exciting that it needs to be documented and shared. Write the thoughts that come to you as you are having quiet time, Bible verses, feelings, lessons, and all the God stories in your life so you can share them later with others.
Don't compare yourself: This is an individually tailored journey; no two stories are going to be the same. When you are around other Christians who quickly quote scripture and seem to know so much, don't feel bad. No one is judging you because you can't recite verses or you don't pray with big words, what really matters is where your heart is.
Ask God for a mentor: When you ask God, He answers. It is such a delight to have someone picked by Him to share the journey with. Words can't describe how much I love my mentor and all that God has done in my life through her. Ask God to place a person in your life that will help you and guide you, someone you can share the tough moments and also celebrate the good ones, and someone who will delight in the Lord with you.
We may have heard that life is a journey not a destination. And yes, life is about enjoying the time God has given us here on earth and achieving our mission, but our eyes need to always be looking toward our final destination, an eternity enjoying God's presence. So go ahead, take that first step and be certain that people you may not even know are praying for you and cheering you all throughout your journey.

I kept the sleeves a little longer than usual short sleeves; I'd say they are at more of an elbow length. It helps to round off the look as tailored and preppy. I think it goes really well with the scoop neck and the structured bow tie on the back. The bottom of the blouse is also finished off with a clean white rolled hem. This blouse adds a little bit of shine to any outfit and will dress up even the most simple pair of jeans. I can't wait for it to join someone's collection!

Progress faster with the most appropriate kitesurfing equipment!
Kitesurfing for Beginners - CHOOSING A KITE
Kitesurfing for Beginners - The good news is that there are now many genuine all-round kites that are appropriate for beginners right up to advanced level riding. This means you can have confidence in what you are buying, that you won't outgrow your kit!
Check out some of our kite school customers, learning to kitesurf.
The kitesurfing industry as evolved rapidly over the past 5 or 6 years, and now the mass market are looking for 'delta' shaped kites. We can in general describe these delta kites as user friendly, good amount of de-power, re-launch easily and have consistent control characteristics. The great thing is that they can easily be flown by anyone from a total beginner, right up to pro level riding.
C-Shape – Aggressive & powerful – Intermediate to advanced only.
Open-C – Performance orientated – Ambitious beginner to advanced.
Delta – All-round performance – All abilities / styles.
There is a lot written, discussed and debated over the merits of 4 line versus 5 line. The inception of the 5 line system was initially a step up in safety, but these days, the vast majority of 4 line systems are just a good in terms of safety performance. All of the brands we sell at Wave and Wake are industry leading in terms of safety set-up and systems.
Basically, the 5th line is generally a dedicated safety line (often called a 'lazy 5th') however on kites such as the North Rebel and Vegas, the 5th line is a flying line which also acts as the safety flag out line – So you've no choice on these models.
When it comes to deciding on 4 v 5 line, it's pretty much down to personal preference. We however like the simplicity of setting up with only 4 lines – one line less to rig up ;)
KITE SIZES - Kitesurfing for Beginners
Most kiters will build a quiver of sizes to cover a wide range of wind strengths. A popular configuration would be 7, 9 and 12m.
Your selection of kite size depends on your body weight, ability and the desired wind range.
However, as a beginner you won't need to be riding in the upper wind ranges as it would not be safe, so there is no rush to add a storm kite to the shopping cart just yet ;)
Most beginners will start out with maybe a 10/11/12m kite, which will allow them to learn and progress in the lighter to medium wind ranges. Once they are getting to grips with this wind range, there's then the opportunity to add an 8 or 9m kite. Be careful not to buy sizes too close, spacing kite sizes out so there is an overlap in terms in wind range is good advice, but space them out far enough that you cover the maximum range.
Common 2 kite quivers would be: 9 / 12m or 8 / 11m.
Common 3 kite quiver would be: 7 / 9 / 12m.
RECOMMENDED BEGINNER KITES - View Now
Again, there are many variables in selecting kite sizes, so good advice is essential to get the best value for money.
CHOOSING A BOARD - Kitesurfing for Beginners
We'll assume as a beginner, you've taken a few lessons, are probably just about getting up and taking your first short rides.
Most of the brands product a board size versus body weight guide, so this is a good place to start. Generally, to learn, progress and get riding upwind, you will be looking for a board in the region of 136cm – 144cm for your average 75 – 85 kg person. As a very rough rule of thumb, lighter riders would go down a few sizes, heavier will go up.
BIG BOARDS v SMALL BOARDS
A bigger board will make your very early rides a little more stable, but this stage of progression is quickly passed, so it's sensible not to go too big as you'll outgrow a big board quickly.
That's not to say a bigger board is redundant to anyone passed the beginner stage, far from it. A bigger board will allow you to ride in lighter winds, as the more surface area requires less power to get up and going. Many kite surfers have a dedicated light wind board as part of the equipment quiver.
Smaller boards will allow a more aggressive riding style, meaning it takes less effort to edge hard against the kite. But for beginners, you may not have the full control at this stage to achieve this. You can hold down more power with a slightly smaller board, so this is a popular choice for many kite surfers. However, the industry has moved on in terms of board / flex technology, there isn't the need to go as small in order to achieve this style nowadays.
We recommend starting out for your first year or so on a board that is perhaps in the upper range of size guides – maybe 138 - 144cm for 75-85 kg person. Once your riding has progressed, you can then after a year or two move onto a board around 132 – 138cm. Again, this is all weight dependent, but a good base guide to work from.
RECOMMENDED BEGINNER BOARDS - View Now
Kitesurfing for beginners can be a minefield when it comes to picking gear to buy. Choosing your equipment as a beginner is about selecting the most appropriate equipment that will allow you to safely progress in a wide range of conditions – Our recommendations are based around this, meaning the best value for your first equipment purchases.

The attraction officially opens to the public on Tuesday, December 19.
The Hall of Presidents, running since 1971 when Richard M. Nixon was in the White House, is a sit-down indoor show at Magic Kingdom's Liberty Square area in which robotic versions of all past presidents are introduced to the audience by name. Since the early 1990s, the sitting president has recorded his own words. Abraham Lincoln receives a longer solo moment in which he recites snippets from the Gettysburg Address.
Trump's message says, in part, "I, Donald John Trump, do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of the President of the United States and will, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, so help me God"—the oath presidents swear at inauguration.
Additionally, the previous narrator, Morgan Freeman, is no longer a part of the show.

The most notable addition to the attraction isn't the Trumpbot though. It's the *spikes* they installed around the stage. pic.twitter.com/VhbXwS9zT3— dan sinker (@dansinker) December 19, 2017

Argos Hire New Canadian Football League Head Coach

The Canadian Football League team will announce tomorrow morning that it has hired the Tennessee Titans assistant coach to replace Don Matthews, who resigned at the end of the Argos' dismal 4-14 season.
Andrus is a stranger to the CFL, but comes with a reputation as an offensive-minded coach who likes to see a lot of passing.

Paul Ryan spoke at CPAC over the weekend and delivered a truly appalling and inane speech about how terrible it is to help poor people eat. Why is it terrible? Because it gives them a "full stomach but an empty soul." Oh, and he used a fake story to illustrate his point in the process.
"The left is making a big mistake here. What they're offering people is a full stomach and an empty soul. The American people want more than that. This reminds me of a story I heard from Eloise Anderson. She serves in the cabinet of my buddy, Governor Scott Walker. She once met a young boy from a very poor family, and every day at school, he would get a free lunch from a government program. He told Eloise he didn't want a free lunch. He wanted his own lunch, one in a brown-paper bag just like the other kids. He wanted one, he said, because he knew a kid with a brown-paper bag had someone who cared for him. This is what the left does not understand."
And do you want to let that kid bring a brown bag lunch? How exactly does cutting food stamps help do that? That only makes it less likely that he can do so. Also, the idea that buying one's school lunch means your parents don't love you is utterly moronic. And he got wild applause for this bit of stupid.

Oh the Internet… It is amazing how it is filled with inspiring quotes and cats and rants and advice and LOL things and random things as this.
It's 10:10 a.m. I should be working but I'm guess I'm procrastinating, using my time to find anything curious and useful… or not. I wear my earphones but no music is playing, I'm just pretending to be busy so people won't disturb me in inspiration hunting. I'm on Pinterest, when I find this image posted by some apparel store. I stop. I don't like it. I don't pin it. It just makes me think whether it is some actionable recommendation or not.
"Think Happy Thoughts" seems like an easy reminder, however, it's not. Instead of a motivator, I think this quote is a stressor. What if I forget this piece of advice? What if these happy thoughts aren't truly mine? What if these happy thoughts are a distorted tale I tell myself for the sake of happiness at my own convenience, ignoring, and what's worst, choosing to forget how things truly are? Been there, done that. Awful.
Being happy is not about thinking: It's about being.
Thinking is a habit of the smart (read "Happy vs Smart" the very first post of this blog). Thinking is something you learn, you're trained for. Thinking is something, that if you don't build as a habit, you forget to do.
Being is something inherent to yourself. It's what you are. Happiness is like air, you cannot choose not to breathe. Happiness is what you become, consciously or not, by your thoughts, actions and words, and since we are always changing our actions, we never "are". We are always becoming. Constant change all along the watchtower! (ok, not this has nothing to do here, but I like this song!)
Descartes said "I think, therefore I am". Sure it works like that as well but personally, I find it too elaborate for a living. I say, stop thinking, over-thinking. Reconcile with your feelings and start being. Being what you want to be without judgment, without constraints. There's nothing wrong with feeling for the sake of feeling. Feel sad if you must, Feel happy if you have to. Feel love above all.
Word of advice: feelings are great. Beware what you think about your feelings.
So, stop thinking happy thoughts, read this NY Times article and don't fall in the trap of positive thinking, wishful thinking.
Just feel. Just be.

Cook County Health & Hospitals System (CCHHS) has announced today that they have become the newest member of the GE Patient Safety Organization (GE PSO), in an effort to continue their increased emphasis on a culture of patient safety.
Established earlier this year, the GE PSO is helping healthcare providers in their efforts to improve patient safety by collecting and analyzing event data, pinpointing causal factors contributing to risk and fostering collaboration within a community to mitigate those risks. The CCHHS joins the GE PSO alongside two community hospitals in the Chicagoland area, 13 Hospitals in Rhode Island, 10 of which are associated with the Hospital Association of Rhode Island, and Nix Hospital in San Antonio, Texas in an effort to pinpoint causal factors of patient safety risk and foster collaboration to mitigate those risks.
"This is a step in the right direction for patient safety, and we are proud to join an elite organization that puts the patients' safety first," said Dr. Terry Mason, Interim CEO, Cook County Health and Hospitals System. "The GE PSO offers us for the first time the ability to collect and compare data with other organizations, leveraging insights not just from our own hospitals but from similar intuitions across the country."
The complexity of healthcare today generates many opportunities for human error, and protecting patient safety requires an understanding of the many ways these errors can occur. GE's PSO will help the CCHHS and other hospitals support a work environment in which healthcare professionals are motivated to recognize, report, and reform unsafe care practices by developing organizational consensus about what constitutes a medical error and replacing an overly punitive approach to error management with a system of positive reinforcement for safe behaviors. The ultimate goal is that the system can learn from the errors and make improvements that enable safer delivery of care throughout the institution.

REVIEW: All Hallows Eve/
by Heather Graham
She studied the beautiful old building. But daylight, the skeletons, spiders webs, and jack-o-lanterns all appeared to be just nicely arranged paper and props, nothing more. By night, with special lighting, the place appeared eerie, especially the cemetery surrounding it. When it wasn't Halloween season, the place still cast a certain melancholy about it, a poignancy that perhaps reflected the shadows of lives gone by.
Jenna Duffy and Samuel Hall are partners in work and in life. An FBI Special Agent pair attached to the Krewe of Hunters unit. The pair are forced to cancel their vacation when a call from home brings calls them to investigate a surprising death found by Jenna's cousin Elyssa.
The Mayberry Mortuary was decked out in fantastic Halloween decor, customary each year starting October 1. It sat high on a jagged bluff near the waterfront in Salem, Massachusetts. Just driving toward it, at night was like being in a horror movie. Dense trees lined the paved drive and it was surrounded by a graveyard. The old Colonial building when captured beneath the moonlight, seemed to rise from the earth in true Gothic splendor.
Elyssa found the body of John Bradbury while touring the haunted house. The event's manager's death was ruled a suicide. But, something told Elyssa that John didn't kill himself. That something, is a voice in her head. Nothing is as it seems in Salem, Massachusetts around Halloween.
I am a scared cat! I don't watch scary movies and I don't go to haunted houses. But, I figured to give this book a try with Halloween around the corner. Pleasantly, I was quickly engrossed in this murder mystery. This story will whisk you away to Salem to explore the dynamics of nontraditional religions and even back in time to the infamous witch trials, all while trying to learn who done it.
This is the perfect Halloween read.
An ARC was generously provided in exchange for an honest review.

Don't post a job listing on Craigslist without this free service
Posting a job opening to Craigslist can generate lots of applications, but keeping your hiring process organized after that becomes the challenge.Craigslist has become a go-to resource for many employers that want to hire quickly, inexpensively, and locally. In most cases, Craigslist is a fantastic tool for doing just that. In many cities, a Craiglist job posting is free (or very inexpensive), and Craigslist has become one of the top websites for job seekers looking to find local job openings.
As any employer who has posted a job listing on Craigslist will tell you, however, this fast and inexpensive source of job candidates typically comes with additional headaches. Typical problems employers run into include:
- High volume of candidates overtakes their email inbox
- It becomes difficult to read and keep track of every application
- Fielding many unqualified applications wastes time
That's where the Rise Hire Free Applicant Tracking System comes in.
Most large companies that hire dozens, even hundreds of employees a year use an Applicant Tracking System to manage and organize the hiring process. Products like iCIMS, Oracle Taleo, and others are great pieces of software, but as with most enterprise-level products, they come with a premium price tag, too.
Small businesses that hire sporadically or only a few times a year can't justify such an expense; but, they could still benefit from similar features.That's why we built the Rise Hire Free Applicant Tracking System, which allows any small business to:
- Keep incoming applications and documents organized in a central place without relying on an email inbox
- Star, archive, and manage the status of an application
- Create professional-looking job advertisements that highlight your employer brand and formalize the application process
Rise Hire is the perfect compliment to advertising on free sites like Craigslist. Instead of directing candidates to email or fax in a resume, simply ask them to follow the link to your job opening. Candidates then apply online, and all of this information funnels back to your Rise Hire dashboard.
By centralizing the application process, the Rise Hire Free ATS helps you keep the hiring process out of your email inbox, and in a place where you can easily manage it. Plus - it's free!

Do you need help to lose weight? Convince yourself that you eat well and you will. Losing weight is usually one of the typical purposes of the New Year list (do you remember it?). But as soon as the month pass, it becomes uphill and when you least expect it, summer comes again. However, one study argues that the problem that prevents us from achieving our goal is that we do not raise it well.

Milos Raonic vs. Gael Monfils
|Date & Time
|Tuesday January 26, 2016, 10:00 PM (EST)
|The Line
The Line: -- Over/Under:
|TV Channel
Gael Monfils and Milos Raonic square off in the quarterfinals of the 2016 Australian Open.
Gael Monfils is coming off a four set victory over Andrey Kuznetsov and has lost one set this tournament. Monfils is getting at least 62 percent of his first serves in play and is winning no less than 65 percent of those points. Monfils has combined for 77 winners in his last two matches and has 32 or less unforced errors in all four matches. Monfils has looked sharp thus far considering he just lost to Benoit Paire in the Paris Masters. As long as Monfils can limit his unforced errors and his antics, he'll be a tough out the rest of the way. This is Monfils' third grand slam quarterfinal appearance since 2012. Monfils has made just one semifinal grand slam appearance, which was the 2008 French Open.
Milos Raonic is coming off a five set win over Stan Wawrinka and has dropped two sets this tournament. Raonic is getting at least 58 percent of his first serves in play and is winning no less than 79 percent of those points. Raonic has racked up 194 winners in his last three matches and has had 59 or less unforced errors in all four matches. Raonic is currently undefeated in 2016, which includes an upset victory over Roger Federer in the Brisbane International. This is Raonic's fourth grand slam quarterfinal appearance since 2014. Raonic has reached a grand slam semifinal once in his career, which was the 2014 Wimbledon.
These two have played twice, and Monfils has won both meetings. The most recent match was in the 2013 Halle Open, and they also played in the 2011 Stockholm Open. Raonic has won one of the five sets he's played against Monfils. This will be the second time Monfils and Raonic meet on hard court.
The history can be thrown out the window considering it's so small and so old. Raonic is a far better player than he was a few years ago. Also, Monfils really hasn't played anybody leading up to this points, while Raonic has wins over two top-10 players already this year. I love Monfils and his game, but this is a bad matchup.
Look for Raonic to get the victory.

"You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil . . ."—Psalm 23:5 (NLT)
I often pray with a pen and notebook in hand. Mostly due to my inability to focus for more than five minutes unless I'm writing my thoughts and prayers down. Recently, I looked over my prayers and found a common question nervously laced throughout the pages: "Lord, are you pleased with me?" Could the only One who sees into the depth of my wicked heart really be pleased to offer me His nearness?
I realized then that I was still unsure of His answer. So, I resolved to ask—again—but this time I would listen. He spoke to me and said, "My love for you is unchanging—even in your weakness and even as you sin. My wrath has already been poured out upon Jesus. You and I are at peace." Could this really be so? It seems too kind, too good, and too merciful to believe that the only person worthy of sitting at God's table prepared a place for you and me. But that's exactly what He did.
Jesus drank the cup of God's wrath, so that we may drink the cup of His honor at His table, "that we might receive the adoption as sons . . . and if a son, then an heir through God (Galatians 4:5-7 NASB)." His wrath no longer belongs to us. Instead, God anoints us with oil as His children, as though we are His firstborn sons. The anointing of oil in the biblical context marks someone or something as set apart.
First-born sons were often anointed with a special blessing. They were set apart to receive a double portion of their father's wealth and authority. But children have no control over their birthing order; they just receive what the Lord ordained. In the same way, we are heirs of the riches of His love and righteousness, and it's only by His mercy that He bestows such wealth upon us!
As we receive His anointing, God's love will be made known throughout the earth because it sets us apart. It rests upon us like a fragrant oil on our heads. Our brokenness and sin are a testimony of the strength of His covenant with us. For when we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us (1 John 1:9). Our cup runs over with His love! How gracious is He to honor us at His table! How pleased He is because of Christ to call us sons and daughters!
DIG: Is God asking you to separate yourself from anything or anyone? If so, obey Him today! His counsel is your protection.
DISCOVER: Choose one aspect of being set apart to meditate on today. Receive this calling on your life as His son or daughter and walk in it.
DISPLAY: Make yourself accountable by sharing with someone what God is asking you to separate from and ask them to hold you accountable to it.
