Tastemaker Wants To Make Interior Design More Affordable And Accessible YCombinator-backed Tastemaker launches to the public in closed beta today, hoping to reach people who want to make professional home design a reality but previously thought it inaccessible due to excessive cost. Like fellow YC startup Scoutzie, the Tastemaker marketplace functions by allowing users to submit a request for proposal, answering questions about their personal taste, budget and practical concerns like room dimensions. Three vetted designers from the Tastemaker community then reply to the request within 48 hours, with ideas custom tailored to a user's needs and a corresponding flat fee. Users pick which proposal they like best and are then assigned a design concierge to help them walk through the process, with the option of having a design associate come to their home and survey the room personally. While they enter in payment information when they decide on a proposal, they don't actually get charged until they're satisfied with the work.

Alaska cedar) is hardier and more slender than the species. It forms an elegant tree with bluish green needles and gracefully drooping branches. 'Uber For Local Home Services' Provider ClubLocal Launches In The Bay Area Uber pioneered the market for on-demand, one-click rides from your mobile phone, and over the past few years we've seen a ton of 'Uber for X' startups pop up in different categories. One of the newest is ClubLocal, which provides on-demand access to home service professionals. The service is launching in the San Francisco Bay Area today, after a successful trial in Dallas. ClubLocal works by connecting users with qualified, pre-vetted home service professionals, without having to search Yelp or the phone book or whatever people use these days when they need a plumber or an HVAC technician. It's already signed up professionals from several different segments of the market, including Plumbing, Handyman, Electrical, Heating and Air Conditioning, Appliance Repair, and Mobile Auto Detailing.

The goal of the service is to the take offline social recommendations — in other words, the advice friends and neighbors often give each other about improving their houses — and bring them online. It's also looking to become a comprehensive directory of contractors, complete with reviews and profiles of each.

But independent service professionals like hair stylists, bartenders, and DJs have a problem: if they jump from one establishment to another (which is quite common), they have a hard time taking their clientele with them. Enter Y Combinator-backed Opez, a platform that's looking to help these professionals keep in touch with their clients on a long-term basis, making it easy to keep them informed of any job changes or hot deals they're offering. Of course, Facebook already offers Facebook Pages, which can be used for similar a similar purpose. But Co-founder Chris Tam says service professionals want to be able to engage customers but also maintain a distance, which is the problem with using Facebook Pages as their centralized business page.

I swear I'm trying to find interesting real estate news/
But it's just not happening. Lots of retreads that we've discussed here before, rentals that don't interest me, new listings that are overpriced, which I can talk about next year, without being accused of ruining their chances now, and otherwise, blah.
Here's an example of a retread we've written about before: 93 Indian Head Road, which started off at $10.950 back in February, 2016, dropped today from $7.995 to $6.750 million.
Whatever. I'll let you know when it sells.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) - Lafarge North America said late Tuesday second-quarter earnings rose and revenue increased 15 percent because of stronger demand and higher prices for cement and other building products.
Lafarge LAF, +3.13% reported net income of $102 million, or $1.34 a share, compared with $73.9 million, or $1 a share, last year.
Sales for the Herndon, Va.-based company were $583.8 million, up from $519.3 million a year ago.
Lafarge said cement sales rose to $375 million from $326 million last year. Sales for the mineral gypsum increased to $79.4 million, from $60.3 million last year.
Lafarge said it anticipates the higher material prices to continue and expects to realize the price gains during the second half of the year.
The company also said some of the gains will be offset by continued pressure on energy, pension and post-retirement expenses.
Shares of Lafarge fell 59 cents, or 1.4 percent, to close at $42.03 ahead of the announcement.

This was Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2018
What is Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD)?
The Global Accessibility Awareness Day started with a blog post by Joe Devon demanding that "Accessibility needs to go mainstream now". This kicked off a conversation with Jennison Asuncion and after a few talks, the GAAD was born. GAAD started in 2012 with the purpose to get everyone to think about accessibility, to share their best practices and to learn about digital access and people with different disabilities.
Our highlights from GAAD 2018
In this blog post, we want to summarise our highlights from GAAD 2018, which took place on the 17th of May.
ATOS UK Global Accessibility Awareness Day
Atos UK had an amazing event lined up for GAAD, with a mix of keynotes and networking opportunities to discuss accessibility in all aspects of society. The keynote speakers included: Neil Miliken (ATOS), Dan Brooke (Channel 4), Saqib Shaikh (Microsoft), Caroline Casey, our very own CEO, Gavin Neate, and many more. The networking breaks provided an opportunity for all these bright heads in accessibility and inclusion to discuss ideas and initiatives on how to make accessibility a default in society and business. The event was live streamed for everyone who couldn't make it.
BBC Accessibility Awareness Day
Similar to the event at ATOS, BBC organised an event for Accessibility Awareness Day under the motto "Access All Areas". The packed agenda covered anything from workplace diversity and TV production to inclusive design and new technology and boasted keynote speakers like Nancy Doyle (BBC's Employable me), Hector Minto (Microsoft), Lauren West (Muscular Dystrophy UK) or Esmail Patel (D.E.A.F).
If you couldn't make the event, you can catch up on all the highlights on their live stream.
Reimagining Accessibility Trailer by Microsoft
At the beginning of this month, Microsoft published a short video that shows how important it is to include accessibility in every aspect of the business.
Since there are currently over 1 billion people with disabilities on the planet, it's very important to ensure that your organisation's environment is accessible by design and compliant with global accessibility standards. Experiences and products that are accessible by design benefit people of all abilities.
One quote from the video particularly resonated with us: "It's like saying to every fifth person: I don't really want your business. I'm not sure if anybody would want to turn away business like that."
The video was a teaser for the launch of a knowledge platform on which you can discover practical ways to build a more inclusive environment and how accessible technologies such as Microsoft 365 enable everyone to create, communicate and collaborate. Click here if you want to see the short 30-minute movie and find out more about Microsoft's initiatives to advance inclusion.
Screen Reader Webinar by Steve Sawczyn
In his webinar, Steve Sawczyn of Solutions Architect at Deque Systems, showed how he uses a screen reader to navigate the web. We are a big fan of webinars like this as it will help developers, business users, designers or anyone new to digital accessibility gain much better understanding of how people with visual impairments navigate the web. The awareness of how screen readers navigate the content on the page or common design barriers is essential to creating an inclusive experience.

Tweetchat with Debrah Ruh
Debrah Ruh was invited to host a tweetchat by NASSCOM Foundation to raise awareness for accessibility and inclusion. The chat featured a lot of great questions which got phenomenal answers by Debrah and other twitter users. Here are some of our favourite answers from Debrah:
What do you mean by an inclusive organization and how do you create one?
If any organization wants to start their accessibility practices today, where should they start from? What needs to be their first step in ensuring accessibility?
Are there some good, cost effective assistive technologic solutions that could be transformative towards my organization becoming inclusive for all PwDs?
Check out the hashtag #GAADTweetChat to read more of the answers.
A day to inspire ongoing commitment
Global Accessibility Awareness Day 2018 came and went but the bigger mission remains: Accessibility needs to be in the front of our minds, regardless if it's about creating a new product, planning any sort of infrastructure or designing the workplace. There will be a time in our lives when we will all have specific accessibility needs and will benefit massively from the technological advances we are fighting for today. We believe that the main takeaway from GAAD 2018 is the fact that accessibility is not a discussion limited to one day only but a subject that needs to be pushed on the agenda every single day.

"From the time I could hold a pencil, words flowed onto paper," Susan K. Marlow once commented: "My first 'highly acclaimed' work was a poem I wrote in the third grade, which was 'published' by hanging in the teacher's lounge of my elementary school. My fourth-grade teacher introduced me to the wonders of outer space, and I scribbled space adventures about unknown worlds and faraway galaxies. As a young teenager, authors like Robert Heinlein and shows like Star Trek further ignited my imagination.
"When my grandfather brought me a blank, hardbound book he found at the dump, my dream of holding my own 'published' book began to take root. Painstakingly copied by hand, it was 107 pages of space adventure for kids.
"I grew up and came down to earth long enough to discover a new interest: people in the Old West had adventures every bit as exciting and imaginative as a voyage to the stars. I grew fascinated with the era. One day while riding my bike around our 'horsey' rural community, a story tickled my mind of a spunky tomboy on a ranch, her horse, and what kind of problems and adventures a child in the Wild West could have had. The writer's favorite question, 'What if …?,' begged to be answered. I was off on another—but very different—writing adventure.
"But I had lost the desire to hold my own published book in my hand, and was content to write only for myself, my children, and the kids in my classroom. Frankly, I was afraid to expose myself and my work to other eyes. Years later, my writing mentor, Colleen Reece, pushed and prodded me into making my childhood dream a reality. She encouraged me to take a risk, step out in faith, and never give up. Courage is being scared to death—but saddling up anyway. That's how I've come to view this entire publishing and marketing process.
"I hope my 'Circle C Adventures' series will capture the imagination of children, delight them with wholesome, exciting escapades that teach character lessons—like courage and determination—and encourage them to become avid readers and writers.
"And that's how you make a dream come true."

New faces and new places are around me every time I wake.
Yesterday, I passed a stop with a marine. Schrapnel through leg and 8 vertebrae broken. Basic infintry became sniping skills. Six years being shuffled around: Iraq, Afghanistan, Iraq. Upon return to this beautiful land of freedom, all their possessions were stolen. The ride from here is toward home.
The night with lifelong friends who alternatively play hockey, drink, ride motorocycles, game, create havoc together. From the northern country, they were heckled and disliked collectively by the train staff. I wonder why this way.
This morning, a family who worked on their own strawbale house and consensus among intentional communities. Virginia was, apparently, full of these. Though how they hid from us is a charm we could not decipher.
I asked two people to watch my things as I went away for a moment. I have done this many times to many people. It's a sort of introduction. You are my verification in case of some confusion with these posessions I am leaving in your charge. It's establishing a sort of engagement, an interaction, a contract. Yes or no are acceptable answers. I have always gotten yes, sometimes more.
These two people, from a very secluded background as evidenced to me by their clothing — which I can only assume is intention — hardly touched me at all. Darting eyes and a muttered "oh sure" as if it were one word. And the hardest to find. Upon return, my thanks fell flatly to the ground underneath their table where a card or two may have fallen in their games of cards. I was not an acting player.
Strange. I wonder if you were merely afraid.
In Chicago, it's either a free night up in the city or a late train out of it.
Only the desk personel will be able to tell.
For now, in Minnesota there is snow still on the ground in big dirty heaps and melting drifts. The water along the edges nearest the track is frozen in thick long veins that reach toward the birds. I'm sure if I look hard enough, I'd see many different forms of tracks. A tractor here, a small car there, a single set of prints I could not identify as we passed by.
The world is white and blue with the edges of green underneath here.
Just the edge of growth, once began, then covered over again.
Symbolism is all kinds of spoiled in me. For me. Through me.
I need some new perspective.
This solitary return journey into the state of being wholly unsolitary is good for me.
Is it good for you?
I hope for the best.
This has so much potential.

The Album is Nearing Completion
Greetings all,
It has been quite some time since we last gave you an update, but there has been a ton of work going on for us. Our album is finally at the finishing stages. We are just about done with everything, and getting ready to put the final mixing and mastering touches on everything. This particular album is quite exciting for us because we are doing it the old school way. This album was recorded on the revered SSL 4000G recording console and will be mastered to an Otari Tape Machine. It should have a very vintage vibe to it because it is not being recorded in the digital world.
The album is also somewhat of a concept album because it is documenting the experiences we had since our last release in 2011. It has a been a long, strenuous, and difficult road for us: but we are happy with the results. Also, there will be a couple of surprises on this album that many of you should really enjoy.
Please check back often for more updates on the album, as well as some other goodies we have in store in for you.

Painted colors across the sky, reminding me of the time passed by.
The soft evening breeze blew a whisper through the air,
caught me by surprise since I knew you weren't there.
I feel your presence with me as I star gaze from this chair,
hoping that you're with me – hoping that you care.
Please have a seat and stay while,
it's been too long since I've seen you smile.

Weekly Roundup | 2018 Wine Industry Kickoff
2017 DTC Review, Thinking Big, Dining Trend Predictions, 2018 State of the Wine Industry Report
We're excited to kick off our new Weekly Roundup series, where we compile interesting and informative articles related to the wine and beer industry. This week's roundup includes a look at the current legal landscape for DTC wine shipments, why some wineries are migrating to larger, non-traditional storage methods, dining trend predictions from some of the biggest names in food, and the upcoming 2018 State of the Wine Industry Report.
End of 2017 Review: Winery Direct to Consumer Shipments
This past year did not see any changes with respect to the permissibility of interstate winery DtC shipments, but there is one change on the horizon in 2018.
Winemakers Need to Think Big Instead of Chasing Trends in the Cellar
The move toward alternative elevage is rapidly gaining traction. Some winemakers see it as a bit of experimentation. Others think having a mix of stainless steel, small oak, large oak, concrete, and clay in the cellar is akin to a chef having a range of pans, each suited to a different purpose.
These Will Be the Top Dining Trends of 2018, According to the Biggest Names in Food
Forward-thinkers in the food and wine world—including Tom Colicchio, Katie Button, Eric Ripert, Gail Simmons and more—share their predictions for next year.
2018 SVB State of the Wine Industry Report
Register for the 2018 SVB State of the Wine Industry Report, taking place on Wednesday, January 17, 2018 at 9:30am PST. Discussion topics include: wine sales growth trends and predictions for 2018, how generational trends are impacting wine demand, challenges and opportunities in e-commerce, and more.

Hello Hunters! @Cronycle we believe the Internet is a fantastic place to research a topics of interest. However, it can be sometimes overwhelming to get to the good pieces of information quickly. Noise to signal has become a real problem where social platforms tend to promote content virality over quality and integrity. We believe that if we give the right tools to teams we can help inverse the trend, and help you and your friends surface the valuable content more easily and build interesting insight on top. We have a rich roadmap ahead of us. Go and check us out. Give us your feedback. Happy content Hunting! Nicolas Co-Founder

I've been using Cronycle with my team for a while, and it really proved to be a structured approach to attract value for us from all the news covering our industry and dissect certain aspects of a topic in comments. We've followed and compared with our competitors closely across all channels, while staying inspired on the new areas ahead like blockchain and digital fantasy sports :)

Hi everyone! It's great to be on Product Hunt today! The internet is a fantastic portal of information. It can be used to educate yourself on any topic. However, access to niche articles is becoming harder than ever with robotic algorithms. They often filter out interesting topics and tend to serve us information which engages us, rather than teaching us something new or something controversial. Cronycle was born out of a mission to give anyone the power to create their own custom feeds – to help them filter through to the internet to find the best information. However, we then realised that the reason why people used these feeds is to get in depth research into various topics. So we created a collaborative space where you can annotate relevant articles. This has been called a 'Pinterest for Business' (a lot of people called it that at TNW Conference last week) - and really helps you with expansive thinking around a topic. Would be great to find out what the community thinks of the idea, as well as how we've executed it :)

Alice, just hopped on and looks nice. Question, how does this differ from Kifi (other than the UI)?
Upvote (5)Share
@scottwwilliams Hey Scott - thanks for your question. Glad you like it! So our main differentiation would be the way you discover information on Cronycle. We take your RSS and Twitter feeds, and give you the ability to filter these feeds using select keywords (and Boolean search) so you can create a real-time updating Custom Feed. The second differentiation would be our reader - using this you can highlight inside the text and comment on specific lines - a bit like Medium - but you are working with a small team, and not a public one. We also have the Chrome and Safari (and iOS and Android) bookmarking functionality, so you can add articles to Boards direct from your browser. We're working on integrations with Slack, email etc so you'll soon be able to bookmark links from anywhere you choose. Have you tried creating Custom Feed? When you sign up you'll have a library of links to try out and get started! Otherwise, there is this 'how-to' to help out: https://cronycle.com/2016/how-to... Hope this helps!
@alicelthwaite Helps a lot, thanks. I really like the RSS feeds element - I use a cobbled together stack for research and Croncyle looks like it may help kill a few of my other tools (the fewer the better). Years ago, I ran across a product for Mac that I thought had great promise called Dunno (spacestation6 is the developer), which is similar in terms of using RSS feeds for research/discovery but they never expanded on it.
@scottwwilliams Great! Would love to hear how it goes for you!

@scottwwilliams Thanks for detailed feedback and question!
@alicelthwaite @scottwwilliams I can't see that Kifi offers any filtering / search either, or have I just missed it?

There's a lot of excitement at Pannifer's Bakery these days. Alan's found a whole new way of making bread!
The New York Times reported on this No Knead Bread. Claimed it was so easy, a five year old could make a loaf. It sounded way too good to be true, but Alan decided to give it a try.
The results were amazing! Easy and delicious.
I can see it now, our month "off" in January will be spent perfecting the recipe for multiple loaves and many different varieties of flour. Loaf after loaf needing to be tried and critiqued...
Wait, what am I complaining about? Taste-tester is one of my all-time dream jobs.
I just hope we don't get too much snow in January. I'll need to go for many long walks to work off the results.
In the meantime, I'm thinking leftover turkey sandwiches with Moss Berry Farm's Cranberry Mango Chutney. And I'll be going for a long walk tonight!
Click here to see a video of this bread being made.

{Outfit} The Warmest Winter Coats
For all my East coast fashionista friends, did you find it difficult to dress for a brutally cold winter? It's hard to stay warm outdoors, but it's even harder to dress just right for the indoor because next minute you know, you will be striping layers due to the heater... My usual winter layers include a heat tech, a thick sweater or cashmere sweater, and a lightweight cashmere coat. This worked out fine for the past couple of years until recently I got tired of striping indoors where it's too hot to wear a sweater. My solution for that is to wear only one thin top underneath and a really warm coat. I found this Agnuea Lamb fur coat from Intuition Paris and was amazed at how warm it is! I can truly walk in a below 30F weather with only a white t-shirt underneath this coat.
Winter accessories are so important. A cold-weather essential, Ganni's Masha Texas Boots effortlessly elevates cold weather basics. Lace-up ankle boots feature leather and suede panels, Sherpa fur lining and platform sole. That's my new go-to winter boots for the weekend and a ski trip!
It looks too bulky with a wool scarf, a small square silk scarf works for outfits like this. The ring handle bag is paired with rainbow studded cross body strap, so your hands can stay in the pockets for all time!

PRP (Platelet Rich Protein) is a natural product created from your own body. A small amount of blood is drawn from you and placed in a sterile tube that is spun down in a centrifuge to separate the different components of the blood. Red and white blood cells are divided from the platelets and the plasma (the clear fluid). This plasma now contains a higher than normal number of platelets and is called platelet-rich protein.
Benefits of PRP
Platelets are the cells in the blood that help tissue to heal and grow cells. The PRP Injected into specific areas of the skin, act as a matrix that promotes your own collagen to grow, regenerate tissue, and thus acts as to naturally smooth and tighten the skin. In this way, PRP softens wrinkles and creates smoother skin texture and tone. PRP is also used to promote healing after ablative laser treatments and J-Plasma resurfacing treatments.
Microneedling with PRP
PRP is a popular addition to microneedling. This approach uses your own blood platelets to enhance your results. Blood platelets serve many important purposes, including aiding in the healing process by helping blood to clot. They also contain growth factors which constantly replenish the tissues throughout your body.
What To Expect During PRP Treatment
Platelet-rich plasma is frequently used for aesthetic purposes. The treatment begins with a simple blood draw. Once the blood has been drawn, we place the vials into a machine that separates the platelets from other elements of the blood. After the platelets have been purified, they're ready to use. They can enhance your microneedling procedure by providing an abundance of growth factors to help your skin revitalize itself. After completing the microneedling process, your practitioner massages the platelets into your skin, where they use the "micro-channels" created by the microneedling device to access the deeper layers of skin. This can speed up and improve the healing process.
PRP Hair Restoration
PRP has shown promise in hair restoration. When used in this capacity, the purified platelets are injected directly into the scalp to encourage growth in areas of thinning hair or baldness. We're proud to offer this emerging technique for hair restoration here in Washington, D.C. Patients who undergo a hair restoration procedure with PRP may return to their normal activities the same day, as no sedation is required.
Schedule A Consultation
If you are interested in the PRP treatment for microneedling or hair restoration, call 202-750-5189 to schedule a consultation. West End Plastic Surgery serves patients in Washington D.C. and surrounding areas.

This 2016 looks promising. Why? Because of what we found last summer. It is called a Quinta (farmhouse) but looks like a palace. It has everything that we have been looking for. It was abandoned for a long time and badly in need of renovation, now being done by a team of professionals. We hope to be ready to invite you there starting around March 1st. Want to be part of the team? We are looking for a dedicated vegetarian cook to take charge of the kitchen and a permaculturist to manage the garden.
Looking forward to a new year

We are two sannyasins living in Hawaii. Pravina (Swiss) a sannyasin since '83 was with the commune in Europe and the Mystic Ring in Poona 2. Srajan (American) a sannyasin since '78 was at Rajnesshpuram and then Poona 2.
We want to visit southern Portugal with the idea of possibly living there.
May would be the best time for us.
Do you have any suggestions of places we could stay to base out of as we explore the Algarve and the lower Alentejo?
With Love,
Saran & Pravina

Hi there. Haven't written in a bit, and I apologize. It's getting harder to write about modeling when you aren't doing it as a full-time job. For those who are, I know the pay rate and how hard it is. I remember filling my gastank a quarter of the way or half tank if I was lucky. We depend on buses.
Capital Metro is taking a survey of all the riders and their routes from February through April. Surveyors will be identified with a nametag as representatives of Capital Metro, so there is no need to worry about creepy guys asking where you live. Look for the CapMetro nametag.
Tell them what routes you need in place to make traveling easier. East/West routes? I personally want the #9 to go to Laguna Gloria on weekdays. There are a lot of classes at Laguna Gloria and the #9 only goes there on Saturday, a day in which I've never model there. Tell them what you think. Collectively we can make art modeling a sustainable career. I have some more ideas, but patience is key.

Order of the Precious Crown
The Order of the Precious Crown (宝冠章 Hōkan-shō) is a Japanese order, established on January 4, 1888 by Emperor Meiji of Japan, and the lowest ranking of the Japanese orders currently awarded. Originally the order had five classes, but on April 13, 1896 the sixth, seventh and eighth classes were added.
|Order of the Precious Crown
Order of the Precious Crown, 1st class plaque. End of the 19th century. Musée de la Légion d'honneur.
|Awarded by the Emperor of Japan
|At the monarch's pleasure
|Currently constituted
|His Imperial Majesty The Emperor
|1st through 8th Class
|Next (higher)
|Order of Culture
|Next (lower)
|Person of Cultural Merit
Medals of Honor
This Order is conventionally reserved for female recipients; however, men have occasionally been accorded this honour. More often, men have been awarded the Order of the Rising Sun rather than the Order of the Precious Crown. In 1907, medals of the Order of the Crown were bestowed upon twenty-nine Americans who participated in the Russo-Japanese War. This unusual list of honorees was composed of ten women volunteer nurses and nineteen correspondents of American newspapers.[1]
Until 2003, the Order of the Precious Crown ranked below the Order of the Rising Sun but above the Order of the Sacred Treasure, and was bestowed as a female-only version of the Order of the Rising Sun; however, men could also be appointed. In 2003 the Order of the Rising Sun, previously reserved for males, was made available to women as well, and the lowest two classes of the Order of the Precious Crown were abolished.[2] The Order of the Precious Crown is now only bestowed upon female members of the Imperial Family and foreign ladies of distinction.
The first class honour has been typically conferred to female royalty. As originally conceived, the order consisted of eight classes. Unlike its European counterparts, the order may be conferred posthumously.
The badge of the order is a gold oval medallion, with floral designs at its four ends; at the centre is an ancient Japanese crown on a blue background, surrounded by a red ring. It is suspended from a smaller badge, its design varies according to class, on a ribbon in yellow with red stripes near the borders, as a sash on the right shoulder for the 1st class, as a bow on the left shoulder for the other classes.
The star of the order, which is worn only by the first class, has five rays studded with pearls, with floral designs between the rays. The central disc features a Ho-o or phoenix on a blue background, surrounded by a red ring emblazoned with a laurel wreath.
The medal for the 6th and 7th classes are golden bronze. The face presents the crossed flags of Japan and the Emperor, both of which are surmounted by the Rising Sun. The obverse presents a conventional monumental shaft, which is flanked by a branch of laurel and a branch of palm.[1]

Deloitte annual reports for women and diversity tied to strong business performance
Deloitte announced the release of its Diversity & Inclusion "Harnessing our strengths" and the Women's Initiative (WIN) "Unleashing potential" annual reports, which showcase that its commitment to an inclusive workplace environment has never been stronger. The reports highlight major talent achievements in the past year, and take a look at the business case for diversity.
"Diversity and the advancement of women and diverse professionals in leadership roles are critical to Deloitte's competitive advantage," said John Zamora, chief diversity officer, Deloitte LLP. "Deloitte's clients expect diverse, high-performing teams that represent different backgrounds and perspectives. Our organization is committed to providing an environment where all people are respected for their contributions and can do their best work on challenging assignments, attain valuable skills and grow professionally while achieving career-life fit."
The annual reports provide a look at how valuing individuals' differences benefits Deloitte in ways that go beyond the bottom line.
"Since its launch in 1993, Deloitte's Women's Initiative (WIN) has been a powerful innovation engine and competitive advantage that has helped fuel Deloitte's growth," said Barbara Adachi, national managing principal, Initiative for the Retention and Advancement of Women, Deloitte LLP. "Advancing women has kept us at the forefront of workforce trends and helped us build a culture that attracts top talent --- both women and men. Today, we have more than 1000 women partners, principals and directors. And we have seen how having a pipeline of diverse talent inspires new thinking and brings about fresh approaches to business challenges, which in return enables us to deliver effective solutions for our clients."
Over the past year, Deloitte has seen continued success in many of its Diversity & Inclusion and WIN initiatives that nurture top talent and enable professionals to continually enhance their careers including:
Emerging Leaders Development Program (ELDP) – This professional development program is designed to prepare high-performing minority managers and senior managers for the next stage in their careers. Participants in this program explore a variety of topics including effective development strategies, risk-taking, building professional networks and dealing effectively with potential biases in corporate America. With a 78 percent retention rate among ELDP alumni, the program is positively contributing to Deloitte's leadership development training and retention efforts.
Think Tank – Inaugurated by Barry Salzberg, chief executive officer of Deloitte LLP, the Think Tank promotes diversity and inclusion by inviting senior managers from the Emerging Leaders Development Program to advise Salzberg and other top leaders on critical business issues affecting the workplace, clients and talent. Since the program's inception in 2006, Think Tank has provided business leaders with a unique perspectives and valuable insights on complex issues.
Women as Buyers (WAB) – In recognition of the growing number of women executives, this workshop was designed to help Deloitte professionals build stronger relationships with women clients and colleagues by better understanding their buying preferences and decision styles. The workshop is based on a year-long study that identified interesting differences between men and women in business. For example, male practitioners may be inclined to bring top-level people to proposal meetings with the intention of impressing the client, but many women clients prefer instead to meet the people who will actually do the project work. WAB has had a major business impact, with 56 percent of participants attributing the acceleration of development of relationships with women clients to WAB.
WINning New Business – WINning New Business is a year-long program designed to give high-potential women in senior manager roles the tools to build strong relationships, powerful negotiation skills, and solid personal brands.
The annual reports also chronicle the awards and recognition Deloitte has earned over the past year as a premier workplace and career destination for diverse talent. Deloitte was named a Catalyst Award winner for the second time and 2010 marked Deloitte's fifth consecutive year on Working Mother's "Best Companies for Multicultural Women." Deloitte was also named on DiversityInc's "Top 50 Companies for Diversity" and on the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index.

Ok, so I'll get the conversation going with this.
Remember that it is important to share our stories as to encourage others. With that in mind, it is not necessarily "bragging" or "pride" when we share what we're doing here as long as it is not for selfish reasons.
I offered to buy a candy bar for a guy I work with but rarely get the chance to converse with. He would only accept if I chose the treat. I picked a Kit-Kat and we had a good conversation about his day at work thus adding a link to the chain of our friendship (as I don't know the person well). Even better…he insisted I take half back. A blessing for both of us!

Aya Oji
St. Maur, YOKOHAMA, JAPAN
How did you find out about TASSEL? Why did you feel compelled to start a chapter? What did you do to start TASSEL?
I did not know about TASSEL until just recently when Joji came over to our school and made a presentation about TASSEL. I had always been interested in helping out the poor but did not know what to do or where to start. I'd seen numerous organizations asking for donations for the Cambodians but I always wondered if that would change anything. Of course receiving food, clothes, and medication is better than having nothing but what I learned through TASSEL is that this only brings joy to the people in Cambodia for that brief moment. It is not going to help change Cambodia and get out of the situation that they are in right now. I found out that the key of helping the people in Cambodia is to educated them and give them love.
I have been very blessed and privileged to be able to attend a wonderful school with caring teachers and to be surrounded by family and friends who have loved me unconditionally. I almost take these two very important factors for granted because it is a normal thing for me but it is not for some people, like the kids in Cambodia. And if something I see and receive everyday can change their lives, I just had to start TASSEL at St.Maur.
Right after Joji's presentation, I mailed the teacher who was organizing Joji's visits and everything moved quickly from then. We found a good number of people who were interested and a teacher who was willing to help out. This was in May before summer break so the actual club started next school year. I was introduced to other chapter presidents and they all welcomed me with excitement. Starting a new chapter and working with people from outside my school was new to me and challenging, but the overwhelming support and kind gestures from other chapters helped me so much and kept me going. Every time I had a question, they were all keen to answer and moreover, they gave us advices and constantly made sure everything was moving forward at the St.Maur chapter. I, along with the members from the St.Maur chapters, were reassured that we became part of such an amiable and compassionate community.
It's only been a few weeks since I've started teaching, but TASSEL is definitely becoming a big part of my life and for others' as well. Everyone sends eachother pictures preparing for classes and and correcting their written work. I can hear people talking about TASSEL in the corridor and I find myself talking about my TASSEL class to those who aren't even in TASSEL! I have already had people approach me that they want to join TASSEL next year, it's amazing! As part of a fund raiser, we organized a Elementary Dance Party and we explained to them about what we do. The elementary students organized everything and made TASSEL posters and now all of the elementary students at St.Maur knows about TASSEL too!
The journey of starting a TASSEL chapter has been a new experience but I've enjoyed every step of it. It opened my eyes and made me look at everything around me from a different perspective. It has brought so much joy and positive energy to my life and I hope I can do the same to the people in Cambodia!

This book, this book is my favorite read of 2017! At least as far as I can remember!! Joanna Davidson Politano knocked it out of the park with her debut novel!!
I loved this book so much I just want to share it with everyone!! Lady Jayne Disappears takes place in the mid-1800's. I loved the setting, just the perfect amount of detail to make me feel like I was in the "room" and at the same time not boring me with too many details. (Yes, this matters!)
The character development was my favorite. It was like watching a PBC series, having character after character coming to life in front of me! Normally you see the main character and a supporting character or two. Not in this book, I fell in love with about 4 characters!! So much charm and depth!
The main character Aurelie goes to live with her aunt after her father dies. What is unusual is that Aurelie has grown up her entire life in debtor's prison. She is an amazing young woman with tremendous talents and a giant heart. You cannot help but love her!
This book was so hard to put down, I wanted to stay engaged to the last page, and then I found myself the next few days pondering my "new friends" and wondering what they were up to now. (Yes, I might be a bit odd)
I do not want to get into too many details about the plot, because there are so many twists and turns from the start, that I do not want to spoil anything! But this is an amazing novel with such a lovely cast of characters!!
NOTE : I received a copy of Lady Jayne Disappears at no cost.
As Aurelie struggles to find a home with her father's family and learn the rules of society, she relishes in his parting gift–the beginning of his last story. The story she always wanted to hear, about her mother's mysterious disappearance from the home where she now lives. To complete the novel, she'll have to extract clues from relatives–and one enigmatic houseguest–who often seem reluctant to give them up.
About Joanna Davidson Poltano
I'm a work-from-home mom of one super cute baby girl (pictures to prove it) and I write novels. I married my hero Vince, who is my love and my polar opposite. I write, he tears it up with the red pen. I break cars and other mechanical things, he puts them back together. He's nailed the "speak the truth" thing, and I bring the "in love" part. But the real spark to our marriage is that he does not like chocolate and I… like it a normal amount. We love and live from our little house in the woods near Lake Michigan, which is undergoing a constant renovation.

unfortionately the top of the dmesg is chopped off, which for this

I attach the missing part of the boot up sequence. I guess the problem is that
one of the processors is "not responding".

It is interesting that after a reboot, four logical processors were
discovered. Looks like an intermediate problem. I could compare the
boot log with the faulty one to look for differences, if that would be
yes, it would be useful to compare the successful and failure boot logs.
Or you could simply attach the full dmesg for the failure and success case.
But I expect that the only difference you'll see is that sometimes
a processor is not responding, and sometimes it is. The next thing
to note is if it is always the same processor not responding; as
well as the frequency of the failure seen on repeated reboots.
Also, if you physically exchange package 0 and package 1,
does the issue follow the package, or stay with a socket?
Please verify that you're running the latest BIOS. Might as well
attach dmidecode output to identify it while you're at it.
Also, can you attach the output from lspci -vv to show all the system components?
Is this system running the latest BIOS?
Can you attach the output from lspci and dmidecode?
Created attachment 100858 [details]
Created attachment 100859 [details]
The system is NOT running a latest bios. I guess I need to upgrade it but for
that I need to find a bootable DOS floppy and Windows to extract the bios. Stay
I have upgraded the BIOS to A04 - original was. System booted up with
4 logical processors active.
Thanks for testing w/ updated BIOS.
As the issue was intermittant with the old BIOS, it may take a number
of boot cycles before we have some confidence that the BIOS fixed it.
If it comes back, please re-open this bug.

The Justice Conference: What I Learned
This past weekend I had the great pleasure of attending the Justice Conference and helping them and World Relief out with their social media coverage of the event. For those of you who weren't able to attend, I thought I would summarize what I learned. The theme of this year's Justice Conference was "Love Thy Neighbor" and the issues of refugees and immigration were some of the central topics that speakers focused on. There were three recurring themes that ran like threads through the entire conference - safety, privilege, and justice.
The conference opened with Pastor Salgueros reminding us that loving our neighbor is never safe, but it is what God has called us to do. When Jesus was asked by the Jewish religious leaders what the greatest commandment was, he responded by saying,
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments" (Matthew 22:38-40).
Later Jenny Yang, Senior Vice President of Policy and Advocacy for World Relief, said that she fears national security has become the new American prosperity gospel. I am inclined to agree with her. While New Testament believers were constantly looking for new ways to reach their neighbors with the gospel, even in the face of danger, our churches today often seem to make any possible excuse for not radically loving their neighbors. When it comes to welcoming refugees and immigrants, national security is the reason I hear cited most often from those who oppose refugee resettlement.
The threat of violence from immigrants, or the likelihood that a refugee will carry out a terrorist attack is negligible, but even if the risk were much higher, the church would still be called to welcome the stranger. Scripture's commands don't change based on current events. Those of us who work with refugees or support refugee resettlement need to be challenging our fellow believers when they are tempted to make safety an idol.
Another thread that ran throughout the conference was the discussion of privilege. While this was primarily discussed in terms of race, it was also hinted at with regard to refugees and immigrants. I haven't discussed privilege much on this blog (it's a sticky topic!), but the Justice Conference helped me to realize that it is integral to discussions about how the church should respond to refugees and immigrants. I'll try to summarize what I learned here, but in the future I plan to address this issue in more detail.
Americans, no matter what their race or social class, are among the most blessed and privileged people in the world. We live in the wealthiest nation on earth, the safest nation on earth, and enjoy rights and freedoms that many others have been denied. Our history as Americans has (understandably) resulted in most of us feeling entitled to the privileges we enjoy. When we are challenged to share our gifts and blessings with others in need (i.e. refugees), and when doing so involves a risk or inconvenience (however small) to our privileged way of life, we often act defensively.
When I advocate for more robust refugee resettlement, and for the US to do more to assist refugees around the world, I often hear this counter argument. "We should be helping homeless veterans first. We should be investing in our military first, etc." While I think we can (and should) do those things and also welcome refugees, these comments reveal a defensive belief that to welcome refugees means that we are somehow discriminating against or neglecting Americans. But this is absolutely not the case. To welcome refugees is simply to acknowledge the tragic difference between their situation and ours, and to seek to share some of our privilege and blessings with them.
Christena Cleveland addressed this concept of privilege in her session at the Justice Conference by looking at the story of Jairus and the woman healed by Jesus who had been bleeding for twelve years (Mark 5). Jairus was a leader of the synagogue - he was important, privileged, and would have felt he had every right to Jesus's time and attention. He must have been extremely uncomfortable and at least a little bit irritated when Jesus stopped to hear the story of the woman he had just healed. We, with our privilege and status as Americans, are a lot like Jairus, and refugees, trampled on, broken, and unwanted, are a lot like the bleeding woman. Jesus chooses to elevate the woman in this story, to stall in meeting Jairus's need in order to focus on her. In the end Jesus still meets Jairus's need by raising his daughter from the dead, but Jairus didn't know how the day would end. When Jesus stopped to heal the bleeding woman and listen to her story, Jairus could only have been frustrated that this unclean woman and her needs were being treated as more important than his own.
Finally, justice, of course, was a theme running through the Justice Conference. I was encouraged by all those who attended who are also passionate about pursuing biblical justice in the world. As an advocate for refugees and immigrants in this political climate it can be easy to become discouraged, even depressed, by the setbacks and slow progress. However, I was reminded throughout the conference that pursuing justice isn't supposed to be easy. It's messy and complicated, and some of us may not live to see the fruits of our labor for justice. But God has called believers to be a part of ushering in his kingdom on earth, in whatever small way we can, and justice is an indispensable element of that kingdom. We will make mistakes, we will miss the mark at times, but we must never give up in our pursuit of God's heart for justice.
If you are interested in watching all of the Justice Conference sessions for yourself, keep an eye on this page. They should be posted within the next few weeks. Also be sure to like their Facebook page and follow them on Twitter so that you will be the first to hear where the Justice Conference will be held next year. Finally, the Justice Conference hosts a podcast called Chasing Justice where they will continue to discuss some of these topics throughout the year.

Christmas Lasagna Recipe
This is celebration in a lasagne pan.
Aside from being better if assembled ahead, being meatless and needing no accompaniments, if you've not tasted the glories of a fresh, light tomato sauce paired with a brilliant creamy ricotta, life is about to get a lot better.
Sauce chills up to 4 days; freezes up to 6 months. Blend ricotta mixture just before assembling.
Sauce (makes extra)
- 8 large cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
- 18 large fresh basil leaves, torn
- 1/2 medium onion, cut in 1/2-inch dice
- 1/2 cup good-tasting extra virgin olive oil
- 3 28-ounce cans whole tomatoes, drained, but liquid reserved
1. In a 6-quart saucepan combine garlic, basil, onion, salt, pepper, and oil. Heat over medium-high 1 minute, no more. Add tomatoes, breaking them as they go into the pan. Bring to a lively bubble, uncovered, and cook 30 minutes, or until the sauce is reduced by half. Stir often, watching for sticking or scorching.
2. Remove pan from heat, cover and let stand 15 minutes. If desired, cool and refrigerate up to 2 days, or freeze up to 3 months.
Cheese, Pasta and Assembly
- 1-3/4 to 2 pounds whole milk creamy ricotta cheese (see headnote)
- Grated zest of 1/2 large lemon
- 8 whole scallions, trimmed of root ends and thin sliced
- 3 tightly-packed tablespoons each basil leaves and Italian parsley leaves, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg or to taste
- 1/2 cup cold heavy cream, whipped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound dried lasagne noodles
- 6 quarts boiling salted water
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1. In a medium-sized bowl, blend together the ricotta, lemon zest, scallions, basil, parsley, garlic, nutmeg, salt and pepper and then fold in the cream. Cook the pasta in fiercely boiling water, stirring often, until barely al dente (it should be underdone); drain in a colander. Hold in a bowl of cold water.
2. Preheat the oven to 350º F. Oil a shallow 2-1/2-quart baking dish. Drain the pasta and pat dry. Moisten the bottom of the dish with the tomato sauce. Cover with a single layer of pasta. Daub with one quarter of the cheese mixture, then a 1/4 of the Parmigiano. Finally daub with a few tablespoons of tomato sauce. Top with a layer of pasta; spread a layer of tomato sauce and another quarter of the ricotta and then the Parmigiano (save 3 tablespoons for topping) and a little sauce. Continue layering, topping the fifth layer of pasta with the remaining sauce. Cover lightly with foil.
3. Bake 40 minutes, or until heated through. Sprinkle with the reserved 3 tablespoons Parmigiano. Let rest 10 minutes in the turned-off oven with its door open, and then serve.

During our last CSA pickup, Chuck Thompson gave me a copy of his wife's book, It's a Dream Life ... With a Few Nightmares Thrown in For Fun. What a fun read. Heidi about the adventures the Thompsons have experienced since becoming farmers, with some advice on farm-raised food and some recipes thrown in for good measure. One of the recipes, by the Guldan family, is for fresh cabbage or kohlrabi kraut. The Guldens are New Ulmers, which, if you're not local, means that they know their kraut!
It just so happened that smoked sausage was on sale last time I was at the grocery store, and was looking for an interesting way to cook it. What goes better with sausage than kraut?
This is much milder than the fermented sauerkraut you're used to. I know it looks like a lot for something that's usually just a condiment, but trust me. It works really well as the accompaniment part of the dish.
I forgot to take a picture of potatoes. It was kind of crowded though, potatoes might not have fit. They don't come into play until later anyway.
Sit the cabbage on its root end and cut it in half.
Watch out, the seeds pop a little. Don't burn yourself!
Stir everything around until the sugar is dissolved.
Cover and let everything cook for another half hour or so. The sausage will heat up and the potatoes will thicken your kraut.
Uncover your pot and let things simmer for another 15-20 minutes. This will thicken your kraut even more.
There's enough sausage and kraut here that even a Korean can pretend to be German for the evening.
Recipe: Fresh Cabbage Kraut
4 pieces thick-cut bacon (around 1/3 to 1/2 a pound)
2 tbsp. white sugar
1/2 tsp. caraway seed
1/2 tsp. mustard seed
1 small head cabbage, shredded
1 apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp. salt
pepper, to taste
3 tbsp. white vinegar
2 c. chicken broth, vegetable broth, or water
2 potatoes, shredded
salt and pepper, to taste
1 smoked sausage
Saute the bacon in a large pot.
When bacon is crisp and fat is rendered, add caraway, mustard, and sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved.
Add cabbage, apple, and onion. Add salt and pepper, and stir to wilt cabbage.
Pour in vinegar and chicken broth. Cover and let simmer for at least 90 minutes.
After 90 minutes of cooking, add shredded potatoes and sausage. Cover and let simmer for another 30 minutes.
Remove cover and let simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes.

There's a fun new way to explore Florida's history right here in Bradenton
There's a fun new way to experience Florida's history right here in Bradenton.
Imagine being a water droplet in an ancient Florida river, one of millions rushing along to the rhythm of the water cycle.
Then, quite suddenly, you are sucked up into a mastodon's giant thirsty trunk.
This is one of the experiences that kids (and adults) can now enjoy thanks to a new app at the South Florida Museum.
The app, called Pathways, weaves exhibits and museum objects together to tell interactive stories, dropping museum-goers right in the middle of the state's history.
"We don't want you standing around in front of an object," said Jeff Rodgers, provost of South Florida Museum. "We're creating new tours that take you between objects that wouldn't otherwise be connected."
The adventures that the app provides can be customized to just about any topic or field of study.
Diverse concepts like the water cycle, anatomy or evolution can all be explored using the same exhibits.
A student version of the app gives teachers extensive education and assessment options.
Over time, the museum will be able to build a massive library of tours covering anthropology, geology, history and more.
The possibilities are putting the creative minds at the museum to the test.
"It allows us to flex our creative muscles and get all of the staff involved," Rodgers said. "This will open up great stories to thousands of people."
Ashley Girt is the director of the Pathways program and developed the content for the different versions of the app.
Girt also records the voice-overs for the audio tracks in the tours.
"It was really fun to come up with ways to keep kids engaged with things that aren't moving," Girt said.
Ideas for an app have been discussed among museum staff for around seven years, long before they were common at most museums.
Museum staff currently plans to release a new Pathways tour on the public version of the app at least every two months.
"It creates a revolving door of information that is available to people," Girt said.
Rodgers says that apps like Pathways will help turn the page on the "been there done that" aspect of museums.
"You never get to say that anymore," Rodgers said.
Pathways is available in the Apple and Google Play stores; just search for "Pathways SFM."
