Scene : Before Medea's House.
[Enter Medea.]
Medea.TO‐DAY, to‐day, I know not why it is, I do bethink me of my Colchian home. To‐day, that I am lone and weary and sad, I fain would call back days of pride and hope ; Of pride in strength, when strength was all unprov'd, Of hope too high, too sweet, to be confined In limits of conception. page: 36 I am sad Here in this gracious city, whose white walls Gleam snow‐like in the sunlight ; whose fair shrines Are filled with wondrous images of gods ; Upon whose harbour's bosom ride tall ships, Black‐masted, fraught with fragrant merchandise ; Whose straight‐limbed people, in fair stuffs arrayed, Do throng from morn till eve the sunny streets. For what avail fair shrines and images ? What, cunning workmanship and purple robes ? Light of sweet sunlight, play and spray of waves ? When all around the air is charged and chill, And all the place is drear and dark with hate ? Alas, alas, this people loves me not ! This strong, fair people, marble‐cold and smooth As modelled marble. I, an alien here, That well can speak the language of their lips, The language of their souls may never learn. And in their hands, I, that did know myself Ere now, a creature in whose veins ran blood Redder, more rapid, than flows round most hearts, Do seem a creature reft of life and soul. If they would only teach the subtle trick page: 37 By which their hearts are melted into love, I'd strive to learn it. I am very meek. They think me proud, but I am very meek, Ready to do their bidding. Hear me, friends ! Friends, I am very hungry, give me love ! 'Tis all I ask ! is it so hard to give ? You stand and front me with your hostile eyes ; You only give me hatred ? Yet I know Ye are not all unloving. Oft I see The men and women walking in the ways, Hand within hand, and tender‐bated breath, On summer evenings when the sky is fair. O men and women, are ye then so hard ? Will ye not give a little of your love To me that am so hungry ?
Enter Ægeus and Nikias, on the opposite side. Medea steps back on the threshold and pauses.]Ha, that word ! 'Tis Jason's name they bandy to and fro. I know not why, whene'er his name is spoke, Once name of joy and ever name of love, I wax white and do tremble ; sudden seized With shadowy apprehension. May't forbode No evil unto him I hold so dear ; page: 38 And ever dearer with the waxing years :— For this indeed is woman's chiefest curse, That still her constant heart clings to its love Through all time and all chances ; while the man Is caught with newness ; coldly calculates, And measures pain and pleasure, loss and gain ; And ever grows to look with the world's eye Upon a woman, tho' his, body and soul. [She goes within.]
[The two citizens come forward.]
Nikias.I, in this thing, do hold our Jason wise ; Kreon is mighty ; Glaukê very fair.
Ægeus.An 'twere for that—the Colchian's fair enough.
Nikias.I like not your swart skins and purple hair ; Your black, fierce eyes where the brows meet across. By all the gods ! when yonder Colchian Fixes me with her strange and sudden gaze, Each hair upon my body stands erect ! Zeus, 'tis a very tiger, and as mute ! page: 39
Ægeus.'Tis certain that the woman's something strange.
Nikias.Gods, spare me your strange women, so say I. Give me gold hair, lithe limbs and gracious smiles, And spare the strangeness.
Ægeus.I do marvel much How she will bear the tidings.
Nikias.Lo, behold ! Here comes our Jason striding 'thwart the streets. Gods ! what a gracious presence !
Ægeus.I perceive The Colchian on the threshold. By her looks, Our idle talk has reached her listening ears.
[Enter Jason. Medea reappears on the threshold.]page: 40
Nikias.Let's draw aside and mark them ; lo, they meet.
[The two citizens withdraw, unperceived, to a further corner of the stage.]
Medea.'Tis false, 'tis false. O Jason, they speak false !
Jason.Your looks are wild, Medea ; you bring shame Upon this house, that stand with hair unbound Beyond the threshold. Get you in the house.
Medea.But not till you have answered me this thing.
Jason.What is this thing that you would know of me ?
Medea.O I have heard strange rumours—horrible !
Jason.Oft lies the horror of a tale in the ear Of him that hears it. What is 't you have heard ? page: 41
Medea.Almost, for fear, I dare not give it tongue. But tell me this ? Love, you have not forgot The long years passed in this Corinthian home ? The great love I have borne you through the years ? Nor that far time when, in your mighty craft, You came, a stranger, to the Colchian shore ? O strong you were ; but not of such a strength To have escaped the doom of horrid death, Had not I, counting neither loss nor gain, Shown you the way to triumph and renown.
Jason.And better had I then, a thousand times, Have fought with my good sword and fall'n or stood As the high Fates directed ; than been caught In the close meshes of the magic web Wrought by your hand, dark‐thoughted sorceress.
Nikias.Did you mark that ? Jason speaks low and smooth ; Yet there is that within his level tones, page: 42 And in the icy drooping of his lids (More than his words, tho' they are harsh enough), Tells me he hates her.
Ægeus.Hush ! Medea speaks.
Medea.O gods, gods ; ye have cursed me in this gift ! Is it for this, for this that I have striven ? Have wrestled in the darkness ? wept my tears ? Have fought with sweet desires and hopes and thoughts ? Have watched when men were sleeping ? for long days Have shunned the sunlight and the breaths of Heaven ? Is it for this, for this that I have prayed Long prayers, poured out with blood and cries and tears ? Lo, I who strove for strength have grown more weak Than is the weakest. I have poured the sap Of all my being, my life's very life, Before a thankless godhead ; and am grown page: 43 No woman, but a monster. What avail Charms, spells and potions, all my hard‐won arts, My mystic workings, seeing they cannot win One little common spark of human love ? O gods, gods, ye have cursed me in this gift ! More should ye have withheld or more have giv'n ; Have fashioned me more weak or else more strong. Behold me now, your work, a thing of fear— From natural human fellowship cut off, And yet a woman—sick and sore with pain ; Hungry for love and music of men's praise, But walled about as with a mighty wall, Far from men's reach and sight, alone, alone.
Nikias.Behold her, how she waves about her arms And casts her eyes to Heaven.
Ægeus.Ay, 'tis strange— Not as our women do, yet scarce unmeet.
Nikias.Unmeet, unmeet ? But Jason holds it so ! page: 44 Mark you his white cheeks and his knitted brows, What wrath and hate and scorn upon his face !
Jason.Hear me, Medea, if you still can hear That seem so strangely lifted from yourself : But I, that know you long, do know you well, A thing of moods and passions ; so I bear Once more with your wild words and savage gests, Ay, and for all your fury speak you fair. You say you love me. Can I deem it so, When what does most advantage me and mine You shrink to hear of ? For I make no doubt, Fleet‐footed rumour did anticipate The tidings I was hastening to bear, When you, wide‐eyed, unveiled, unfilleted, Rushed out upon me. Know then this once more : That I have sworn to take as wedded wife Glaukê, the daughter of our mighty king, In this, in nowise hurting you and yours. For you all fair provisions I have made, So but you get beyond the city walls Before the night comes on. Our little ones— They too shall journey with you. I have said. page: 45 And had I found you in a mood more mild, Less swayed by savage passion, I had told How this thing, which mayhap seems a thing hard, Is but a blessing, wrapped and cloaked about In harsh disguisements. For tho' Kreon rule To‐day within the city ; Kreon dead, Who else shall rule there saving I alone, The king's son loved of him and other men ? And in those days Medea's sons and mine Shall stand at my right hand, grown great in power. Medea, too, if she do but control Her fiery spirit, may yet reign a queen Above this land of Corinth. I have said.
Nikias.Well said.
Ægeus.But none the better that 'twas false.
Nikias.I'd sooner speak, for my part, fair than true. Mark Jason there ; how firm his lithe, straight limbs ; How high his gold‐curled head, crisped like a girl's. page: 46 And yet for all his curled locks and smooth tones Jason is very strong. I never knew A man of such a strange and subtle strength.
Ægeus.The Colchian speaks no word ; and her swart hands, Which waved, a moment since, and beat the air In mad entreaty, are together clasped Before her white robe in an iron clasp. And her wild eyes, which erst did seek the heav'ns, And now her lord and now again the earth, Are set on space and move not. The tall shape Stands there erect and still. This calm, I think, Is filled with strangest portent.
Nikias.O ye gods, She is a pregnant horror as she stands.
Ægeus.She speaks ; her voice sounds as a sound far off.
Medea.As you have said, O Jason, let it be. page: 47 I for my part am nothing loth to break A compact never in fair justice framed, Seeing how much one gave and one how much. For you, you thought : This maid has served me well, And yet may serve me. When I touch her palm The blood is set a‐tingle in my veins ; For these things I will make her body mine. And I, I stood before you, clean and straight, A woman some deemed fair and all deemed wise ; A woman, yet no simple thing nor slight, By nature fashioned in no niggard mould ; And looked into your eyes with eyes that spake : Lo, utterly, for ever, I am yours. And since that you, this gift I lavish laid Low at your feet, have lightly held and spurned— I in my two arms, thus, shall gather it up So that your feet may not encounter it Which is not worthy for your feet to tread ! Yet pause a moment, Jason. Haply now In some such wise as this your thoughts run on : I loved this woman for a little space ; Alas, poor soul, she loved me but too well— It is the way with women ! Some, I think, Did deem her fierce ; gods ! she was meek enough, page: 48 Content with what I gave ; when I gave not Nothing importunate. Ah, Jason, pause. You never knew Medea. You forget, Because so long she bends the knee to you, She was not born to serfdom. I have knelt Too long before you. I have stood too long Suppliant before this people. You forget A redder stream flows in my Colchian veins Than the slow flood which courses round your hearts, O cold Corinthians, with whom I long have dwelt And never ere this day have known myself. Nor have ye known me. Now behold me free, Ungyved by any chains of this man wrought ; Nothing desiring at your hands nor his. Free, freer than the air or wingèd birds ; Strong, stronger than the blast of wintry storms ; And lifted up into an awful realm Where is nor love, nor pity, nor remorse, Nor dread, but only purpose. There shall be A horror and a horror in this land ; Woe upon woe, red blood and biting flame ; page: 49 Most horrid death and anguish worse than death ; Deeds that shall make the shores of Hades sound With murmured terror ; with an awful dread Shall move the generations yet unborn ; A horror and a horror in the land.
Jason.Shrew, triple‐linked with Hell, get you within. Shame not my house ! 'Tis your own harm you work.
[Medea goes within. Jason moves off slowly. Ægeus and Nikias go off conferring in whispers.]
Scene II
[Time—After an interval ; the evening of the same day. Scene—A street. A crowd of people running to and fro.]
Nikias.O horror, horror, have ye heard the tale ?
Ægeus.Alas, a bloody rumour reached mine ears Of awful purport : that the king lies dead— page: 50
Nikias.And by his side, his daughter ; both caught up In sudden toils of torment. With his grief Jason is all distraught ; behold her deed, The swift and subtle tigress !
Ægeus.Woe ! Alas ! Woe for the state, woe for our Kreon slain, For hapless Glaukê, for our Jason, woe ! But three times woe for her that did the deed— Her womanhood sham'd ; her children basely wrong'd.
Nikias.Hold back our pity till the tale be told, For never was there horror like to this. Ere now in Corinth, haply, you have heard How she did use for her crime's instruments The tender boys sprung from great Jason's loins ; Bidding them bear the garments wrought in Hell As bridal gifts to grace the marriage morn Of gold‐hair'd Glaukê. Serpent ! Sorceress !
Ægeus.Alas, consider ; so the tigress springs page: 51 When that her cubs are menaced. 'Twas her love That wrought the deed—evil, yet wrought for love.
Nikias.Spare me such love. I never yet could deem, Ev'n ere the horror, that Medea held The love of human mothers in her breast. For I have seen her, when her children played Their innocent, aimless sports about her knees, Or held her gown across the market‐place, Move all unheeding with her swart brows knit And fierce eyes fixed ; not, as is mothers' wont, Eager to note the winning infant ways, A‐strain to catch the babbling treble tones Of soft lips clamouring for a kiss or smile. And once I marked her ('twas a summer's morn) Turn suddenly and, stooping, catch and strain One tender infant to her breast. She held Her lips to his and looked into his eyes, Not gladly, as a mother with her child, But stirred by some strange passion ; then the boy Cried out with terror, and Medea wept. page: 52
Ægeus.Your tale is strange.
Nikias.Stranger is yet to come. How that the Colchian did send forth her sons, Innocent doers of most deadly deed, Has reached your knowledge. When the deed was done, And the dead king lay stretched upon the floor Clutching his daughter in a last embrace, Arose great clamour in the palace halls ; Wailing and cries of terror ; women's screams ; A rush of flying feet from hall to hall ; The clanging fall of brazen instruments Upon the marble. The two tender boys, Half apprehending what thing had befallen, Fled forth unmarked, and all affrighted reached The house of Jason, where Medea stood Erect upon the threshold. From afar Sounded and surged the fiercely frighted roar Of the roused city, and, like waves of the sea, Grew nearer ev'ry beating of the pulse. Forth from the inmost chambers fled the slaves, Made fleet with sudden fear ; the little ones page: 53 With arms outspread rushed to the Colchian, And clung about her limbs and caught her robe, Hiding their faces. And Medea stood Calm as a carven image. As the sound Of wrath and lamentation drew more near, The pale lips seemed to smile. But when she saw Her children clinging round her, she stretched forth One strong, swart hand and put the twain away, And gathered up the trailing of her robe. I saw the deed, I, Nikias, with these eyes ! Then spake she (Zeus ! grant that I may not hear Such tones once more from human lips !). She spake : "I will not have ye, for I love ye not !" Then all her face grew alien. Those around Stood still, not knowing what she planned. Then she Forth from her gathered garment swiftly drew A thing that gleamed and glinted ; in the air She held it poised an instant ; then—O gods ! How shall I speak it ?—on the marble floor Was blood that streamed and spurted ; blood that flow'd From two slain, innocent babes ! page: 54
Ægeus.O woful day !
Nikias.Then brake a cry from all about : a wail Of lamentation. But above the sound A fierce long shriek, that froze the blood i' the veins, Rang out and rose, cleaving the topmost cloud.
Ægeus.O evil deed ! O essence of all evil Stealing the shape of woman !
Nikias.After that All is confusion ; from all sides surged up The people, cursing, weeping. 'Thwart the din Each other moment the strained ear might catch Medea's name, or Jason's, or the King's ; And women wailed out "Glaukê" through their tears. Then sudden came a pause ; the angry roar Died down into a murmur ; and the throng Grew still, and rolled aside like a clov'n sea. page: 55 And Jason strode between them till he reached His own home's threshold where the twain lay dead, Long gazed he on their faces ; then he turned To the hush'd people ; turned to them and spake : (His face was whiter than the dead's, his eyes Like to a creature's that has looked on Hell) "Where is the woman ?" Lo, and when they sought Medea, no eye beheld her. And no man Had looked upon her since that moment's space When steel had flashed and blood foamed in the air. Then Jason stood erect and spake again : "Let no man seek this woman ; blood enough Has stained our city. Let the furies rend Her guilty soul ; nor we pollute our hands With her accursèd body . . ."
Ægeus.Cease, my friend ; It is enough. You judged this thing aright ; This woman was dark and evil in her soul ; Black to her fiend‐heart's root ; a festering plague In our fair city's midst. page: 56
Nikias.Spake I not true?
[Night ; outside the city. Medea leaning against a rock.]Here let me rest ; beyond men's eyes, beyond The city's hissing hate. Why am I here ? Why have I fled from death ? There's sun on the earth, And in the shades no sun ;—thus much I know ; And sunlight's good. Wake I, or do I sleep ? I'm weary, weary ; once I dream'd a dream Of one that strove and wept and yearned for love In a fair city. She was blind indeed. They say the woman had a fiend at heart, And afterwards—Hush, hush, I dream'd a dream. How cold the air blows ; how the night grows dark, Wrapping me round in blackness. Darker too Grows the deep night within. I cannot see ; I grope with weary hands ; my hands are sore With fruitless striving. I have fought with the Fates And I am vanquished utterly. The Fates Yield not to strife; nay, nor to many prayers. page: 57 Their ways are dark. One climbs the tree and grasps A handful of dead leaves ; another walks, Heedless, beneath the branches, and the fruit Falls mellow at his feet. This is the end : I have dash'd my heart against a rock ; the blood Is drain'd and flows no more ; and all my breast Is emptied of its tears. Thus go I forth Into the deep, dense heart of the night—alone.

It is with great sadness that the International Diabetes Federation received the news of the passing of Mauro Talini, an Italian cyclist with type 1 diabetes who was riding solo across the Americas to show that there is no limit to what an individual can achieve with diabetes. Mauro's inspiring journey was tragically cut short in Mexico on 13 May, after having covered over 16,100km of the 25,000km trip.
Father Kolbe International, the association that Mauro was supporting with his efforts, released the following statement:
"Mauro Talini, the cyclist with type 1 diabetes who has been riding solo since 1 January 2013 to support the projects of Father Kolbe International, ended his journey across the Americas following a road accident in Trincheras (close to the US-Mexican border) in the early afternoon of 13 May.

Acute tubular necrosis is a kidney disorder involving damage to the tubule cells of the kidneys, which can lead to acute kidney failure.
Necrosis - renal tubular; ATN; Necrosis - acute tubular
Acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is usually caused by a lack of oxygen to the kidney tissues (ischemia of the kidneys). It may also occur if the kidney cells are damaged by a poison or harmful substance.
The internal structures of the kidney, particularly the tissues of the kidney tubule, become damaged or destroyed. ATN is one of the most common structural changes that can lead to acute renal failure.
ATN is one of the most common causes of kidney failure in hospitalized patients. Risks for acute tubular necrosis include:
Liver disease and kidney damage caused by diabetes (diabetic nephropathy) may make a person more susceptible to the condition.
ATN can also be caused by:
Note: Other symptoms of acute kidney failure may also be present.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Your doctor may hear abnormal sounds when listening to the heart and lungs with a stethoscope (auscultation). This is due to too much fluid in the body.
Other tests that may be done include:
In most people, ATN is reversible. The goal of treatment is to prevent life-threatening complications of acute kidney failure.
Treatment focuses on preventing the excess buildup of fluids and wastes, while allowing the kidneys to heal. Patients should be watched closely for deterioration of kidney function.
Treatment can include:
Temporary dialysis can remove excess waste and fluids. This can make you feel better, and may make the kidney failure easier to control. Dialysis may not be necessary for all people, but is often lifesaving, especially if serum potassium is dangerously high.
Dialysis may be needed in the following cases:
How long symptoms last can vary. You may make less urine for a few days to 6 weeks or more. This may be followed by a period of high urine output. This occurs because the healed and newly functioning kidneys try to clear the body of fluid and waste.
One or two days after your urine amount rises, symptoms reduce and test results begin to return to normal.
Call your health care provider if your urine output decreases or stops, or if you develop other symptoms of acute tubular necrosis.
Promptly treating conditions that can lead to decreased blood flow as well as decreased oxygen to the kidneys can reduce the risk of acute tubular necrosis.
Blood transfusions are crossmatched to reduce the risk of incompatibility reactions.
Control conditions such as diabetes, liver disorders, and cardiac disorders to reduce the risk of acute tubular necrosis.
Carefully monitor exposure to medications that can be toxic to the kidney. Have your blood levels of these medications checked regularly. Drink a lot of fluids after having any radiocontrast dyes to allow them to be removed from the body and reduce the risk of kidney damage.

Creep-less in Seattle
It's been a while since we heard much from the Washington Huskies. Truth be told, U-Dub has always been an underperforming sports-crime institution — Rick Neuheisel notwithstanding. The Seattle-based school manages, somehow, to quietly feed quality players to the NFL and the NBA without piling up stacks of punched-out girlfriends and broken windshields.
The biggest exception to this rule, of course, would be former Seahawks tight end Jerramy Stevens, who as a Husky star once got baked and drove a truck into an old-folks' home. That case certainly earned a spot on the Top-10 list of All-Time Collegiate Sports Busts: not only did the truck punch a huge hole in the outside of the rest home, but the impact caused a dresser inside to fly onto the bed of a sleeping 92-year-old woman, who thankfully managed to escape injury. Witnesses saw Stevens fall twice while trying to free his truck from the retirement complex. Eventually he gave up and fled the scene on foot. Later Stevens would be busted and claim that those old folks must have seen another 6-7 monstrosity stumbling out of the truck-shaped hole in their house. UW coach Neuheisel, himself soon to embarrass the school because of a gambling scandal, was so inspired by the tale as to call a meeting to "discuss the importance of good behavior."
Yes, those were the old days at UW. But it's been relatively quiet since then.
Now UW is back in the news, thanks to cornerback Jordan Murchison, who was told by coach Ty Willingham that he will be "having nothing to do with" the team for an "indefinite" period while his legal situation acquires, as Bill Belichick would say, some further clarity. Murchison was arrested August 8 on a failure-to-appear warrant stemming from an incident that allegedly occurred this past March. The incident? Punching two teeth out of the mouth of a man who was sleeping on a couch at the home of a girl involved with Murchison.
Not sure I get the anger issue here, unless she was on the couch with the guy.... Nevertheless, Murchison also has a September 24 hearing ahead of him in connection with a fairly boilerplate Barroom Girlfriend Dispute. In that one, Murchison dragged his girlfriend of five years around by her hair, was separated from her somehow, and then later blocked her exit and was observed apparently hitting her, causing her to scream, "Please stop!"
If convicted, Murchison will join a long list of sports-world female-hair pullers: the beer-pounding, repulsively fat PGA flameout John Daly, Braves manager Bobby Cox (who pulled his wife's hair in 1995, the same year he won the World Series), semi-repentant Phillies ace Brett Myers, Broncos great Rod Smith, and, of course, O.J. Simpson.
Alas, Murchison is not the only Husky to get into trouble recently. The team had another interesting case last October, in which running back Michael Houston stole a taxi. Apparently, Houston and his girlfriend were out late and got a cab. The woman got into a dispute with the driver and — classy lady — spit on him. When the driver stepped out of the car, Houston jumped behind the wheel and drove away. You would think this would be a first in sports history, and it sort of is, except that the accuser in the Duke lacrosse case did a very similar thing once — one of her four priors.

Named a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review
"Electrifying… Writing in shimmering, musical prose… Ms. Fuller manages the difficult feat of writing about her mother and father with love and understanding, while at the same time conveying the terrible human costs of the colonialism they supported… Although Ms. Fuller would move to America with her husband in 1994, her own love for Africa reverberates throughout these pages, making the beauty and hazards of that land searingly real for the reader." —Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"Ten years after publishing Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight: An African Childhood, Alexandra (Bobo) Fuller treats us in this wonderful book to the inside scoop on her glamorous, tragic, indomitable mother… Bobo skillfully weaves together the story of her romantic, doomed family against the background of her mother's remembered childhood." —The Washington Post
"Another stunner… The writer's finesse at handling the element of time is brilliant, as she interweaves near-present-day incidents with stories set in the past. Both are equally vivid… With Cocktail Hour Under the Tree of Forgetfulness Alexandra Fuller, master memoirist, brings her readers new pleasure. Her mum should be pleased." —The Cleveland Plain-Dealer
"Fuller's narrative is a love story to Africa and her family. She plumbs her family story with humor, memory, old photographs and a no-nonsense attitude toward family foibles, follies and tragedy. The reader is rewarded with an intimate family story played out against an extraordinary landscape, told with remarkable grace and style." —Minneapolis Star Tribune
"[Fuller] conveys the magnetic pull that Africa could exert on the colonials who had a taste for it, the powerful feeling of attachment. She does not really explain that feeling—she is a writer who shows rather than tells—but through incident and anecdote she makes its effects clear, and its costs." —The Wall Street Journal
"[A]n artistic and emotional feat." —The Boston Globe
"An eccentric, quixotic and downright dangerous tale with full room for humor, love and more than a few highballs." —The Huffington Post

Family: Anatidae, Ducks and Geese view all from this family
Description ADULT MALE Has a buffy gray head and neck, with clear separation from the darker gray, finely patterned breast and flanks. Center of belly is white and vent is black, the latter a useful identification feature even at a distance. Note the dark bill and yellow legs. In eclipse plumage, male resembles an adult female. ADULT FEMALE Has mottled brown plumage with a grayish head. Note the yellow bill. White speculum can sometimes be glimpsed in feeding birds. JUVENILE Resembles an adult female.
Dimensions Length: 18-21" (46-53 cm)
Habitat Gadwalls are almost invariably associated with freshwater habitats, favoring shallow water where they can dabble (and if necessary upend) for water plants. Breeds extensively across central North America, particularly in prairie pools, and winters mainly south and west of breeding range, south to Central America. Numbers have increased in recent years, due largely to conservation measures aimed at improving breeding habitat.
Observation Tips Easiest to find in winter months, on large lakes and freshwater marshes.
Range New England, Mid-Atlantic, Eastern Canada, Southwest, Western Canada, California, Southeast, Great Lakes, Texas, Alaska, Florida, Northwest, Plains, Rocky Mountains
Voice Male utters a croaking call and female utters a Mallard-like quack.
Discussion A familiar and rather understated dabbling duck. At a distance, the male's plumage simply looks gray and brown. However, at close range and in good light its beautifully intricate, vermiculate patterns become apparent. In flight, both sexes show white in the speculum, emphasized and defined by a black border; the extent of white is greatest in males, which also show chestnut on the inner wing. Sexes are dissimilar in plumage overall.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – The 246th basketball meeting between Ole Miss and Mississippi State has story lines all over the place.
There are new faces at MSU, old faces at Ole Miss, a new villain in Marshall Henderson, a Rebels team with a chance to begin a new course in the series, a Bulldogs team trying to survive.
While it can mean a lot of things to a lot of people, one opinion both sides share is this:
"It's no big deal."
MSU coach Rick Ray and most of his players have not participated in the rivalry, but Ray says everybody gets it.
Ole Miss forward Murphy Holloway gets it, and in spite of the Bulldogs' recent success, says it's just about the next game for the Rebels.
It's an 8 p.m., tip at sold-out Tad Smith Coliseum. It'll be seen on CSS.
Ole Miss is expected to welcome back senior guard Nick Williams, its top reserve, who missed the Rebels' 78-64 loss at No. 2 Florida with a foot injury.
"Right now, at this point in our season, it's another game we have to win, an SEC game, to reach our goal," Holloway said.
The teams split last year's two games, each winning at home. The Bulldogs (7-13, 2-6 SEC), on a six-game losing streak last year, have won seven of the last 10 and 21 of the last 28 against Ole Miss.
The Rebels (17-4, 6-2) are trying to get back on track after following a program-best 6-0 SEC start with two losses and falling from the rankings.
Ray says the last thing the Bulldogs need for tonight's game is to focus on emotion.
"I'm not going to get into how important this game is for the fan base and things like that," Ray said. "If you just put it on emotion, then if you don't have emotion and things don't go well, where do you turn?" Ray asked. "You better have a way to execute as far as Xs and Os."
With a roster marked by injuries, attrition and youth, the Bulldogs found a way to get close last week but were unable to finish in home losses to Texas A&M and LSU. The Aggies won in overtime, the Tigers in an improbable finish with 1.4 seconds left.
The Rebels' fast start has them appearing in early NCAA tournament projections. Ole Miss last played in the NCAA tournament in 2002.
There is work to be done if they're going to break the streak, and Ole Miss coach Andy Kennedy is hoping to get more work from his senior frontcourt.
Holloway, though still averaging a double-double, has seen his scoring decrease of late. He's just 9 for 30 from the floor the last two games.
Buckner was really strong against the Bulldogs last year, getting 19 points and 15 rebounds in an Ole Miss win in Oxford, then 15 points and nine rebounds as MSU won in Starkville.
"Murphy going 9 for 30 the last two games, shooting the ball 10 feet and in, obviously we're not going to be very successful with that. Reg has not scored double figures in the last two games.
"We made a concerted effort of going to him. We tried to give him touches on the block early. He just wasn't as effective as we need him to be. Those two guys are huge for us, and they know that," Kennedy said.

Journal Journal: Time to grow up and put slashdot behind me 2
I am tired of the trolls here and I have made quite some enemies over the years. I feel like this is now a 35 year old version of highschool where it is popular to say certain things complete with squeaky cheerleaders girls rather than a place of intellectual thought.
Arstechnica.com serves this much better.
I got modded down 0 troll for putting IOS in development requirements because it wasn't an official real language by self righteous asshats who feel threatened by their own unique C/unix way regardless of market demand which was my point. I do not belong here anymore. I am not a linux fanboy anymore as I feel it is not longer keeping up with the times and I refuse to be brainwashed into an idea and never change and grow old and set in my ways. I change with the times and adjust accordingly. I want a place where I can do this. Most importantly spend less time here and go better myself like a good middle aged person is supposed to do.
So goodbye!

First patch for Apache Geronimo! Along with Linux, I want to get involved in Java projects too and Geronimo is my choice at this moment. After checking out the code from the Subversion repository, I struggled to make it compile. And it actually took a very long time on my Athlon 2400 to compile it.
However, I did not have success, given a bunch of compilation errors due to a wrong dependence in Apache Maven files. Understanding Maven, since it was my first deeper contact with it, was not trivial as I expected, but I managed to understand it after reading some documentation and a number of grep in the code.
I fixed the Maven files and submitted the bug and the patch to Geronimo JIRA site (check here the link). A very simple patch, but it is the first one (and I hope they accept it)! Now I hope I am able to keep working on improving this application server.

The NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) at the University of Wyoming was initiated in 2000 with the successful funding of the Center grant. This grant was part of the National Center for Research Resources (NCRR) Institutional Development Award (IDeA) Program to broaden the geographic distribution of NIH funding for biomedical and behavioral research. The NCRR identified that the "objectives of the program was to foster health-related research and strengthen institutional biomedical research capabilities by expanding and developing biomedical faculty research capability through support of a multidisciplinary center.." Since 2000 the COBRE has: 1) had a positive impact on the research development of a number of biomedical and neuroscience faculty, 2) enabled the recruitment of new neuroscience faculty, 3) fostered the growth of graduate Neuroscience education (both a MS and PhD in Neuroscience are offered), 4) established a state-of-the art Microscopy Facility, directed by Dr. Zhaojie Zhang. The Microscopy Facility has the leadership and instrumentation for virtually any imaging need.
COBRE Objectives 2000-2011: The National Institutes of Health has awarded the UW Neuroscience Program and Center a five year, $10.2 Million grant (2006-2011). The Neuroscience Center grant provides research support for the Graduate Neuroscience Program, neuroscience investigators, and shared research facilities, such as Microscopy. The programmatic objective of COBRE is to establish a sustainable Center for Neuroscience, and the Neuroscience Center faculty is developing by the augmentation of existing faculty. Core research facilities have been established that have enhanced the biomedical research capability of investigators and which are necessary for the continued growth of the Neuroscience Center. Innovative research programs have developed as a result of COBRE and provide Core facilities needed for brain imaging and analysis of the genetic and protein structure of the nervous system. Multidisciplinary teams comprised of electrical engineers, electrophysiologists, and behavioral neuroscientists, will focus on the study of changes in neuronal function which are essential for the survival of the animal and normal brain function. The Neuroscience COBRE investigators work on interrelated projects that seek to understand how central nervous system circuitry and neural pathways adapt to changes in sensory information. The overall scientific objective is to advance our understanding of neural systems which control sensory processing, neurochemical and neuroendocrine signaling and behavior, so as to facilitate prevention and treatment of pathological states like "sensory neglect", neuroendocrine dysfunction, and chronic pain.
National Institutes of Health P30 Center Core grant: The National Institutes of Health has awarded the UW Neuroscience Center a five year, ~$5.1 Million grant (20011-2016). The Center Core grant will support Career Development, Pilot Research Projects (for assembling preliminary data for grants), and the Microscopy Core. The Neuroscience Center is comprised of 12 neuroscientists who combine expertise in neuroplasticity, neuroanatomy, behavioral neuroscience, and molecular biology to identifying mechanisms that guide normal brain development and those that underlie neuropathological processes. The overall goal of the Neuroscience Center is to increase the effectiveness of Center investigators to complete current research projects and to foster synergies between researchers that combine various expertise to answer pressing neurological health issues.
Research progress of Neuroscience Center investigators has led to new hypotheses and experimental questions pertaining to how nervous system morphology and function changes with the life-stage, disease, experience, as well as experimental manipulation. The Neuroscience Center will provide the structure for building innovative and productive collaborations that address major biomedical issues related to mechanisms of synaptic plasticity, neurodegeneration, and chronic pain. The Pilot Project Program will be instrumental in facilitating interactions between the basic and translational researchers on campus, and in bringing together investigators currently funded by NIH to establish innovative, interdisciplinary collaborations that focus on brain function. Key to the research success of the Neuroscience Center investigators is access to state-of-the art microscopy instrumentation. During the past 10 years of COBRE support, a strong Microscopy Core facility was established to support NIH-funded research projects. Use of the Core facility is increasing due to the institutional commitment to the Neuroscience COBRE that resulted in six new neuroscience faculty being hired. Having a group of neuroscientists with differing expertise will allow us to utilize a multi-pronged and interdisciplinary approach to address common themes in neurodegeneration and aging, neuroplasticity, and chronic pain; thereby bridging present research in function and development of the nervous system to dysfunction leading to human neuropathology. Prion diseases are a prototypic protein misfolding disease and they share many molecular and pathological features with the more frequent human neurodegenerative disorders, e.g. Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD) and Huntington's disease (HD). New collaborative projects are identified that will utilize model systems that enable us to bridge between protein misfolding pathways and the downstream functional effects on neuronal activity and brain circuits, and common ways for therapeutic intervention.
The Specific Aims of the P30 Transitional Center grant are:
RELEVANCE: The Neuroscience Center research will provide the structure to develop collaborations that address the Grand Challenges identified in the NIH Blueprint: neural connectivity of the brain and chronic pain. Investigators will also address common themes in Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinson's diseases to delineate common pathomechanisms and therapeutic interventions.

I was asleep (worked night shift) my dad called and woke me up wondering if I had been called in yet. He told me what was happening and I turned on the news. Got paged not too much later to come in and was standby with my team waiting for whatever might happen next. A very confusing time because nobody had any idea if it was over or just the stat of more attacks.
Interestingly/coincidently we had trained a few months earlier on hostage rescue on commercial airliners.

I was in my truck, pulling into the parking lot at the horse barn when the radio mentioned a small plane had hit one of the towers. I went into the lounge and turned on the TV and watched in horror as a second plane hit, then later as the towers collapsed. All my barn help was there too....we were all stunned and in shock.
At lunch, I went home and got out my American flag, usually hung out on appropriate holidays, and put it up in its place on the front of the house. Neighbors were doing the same.

Flew from NY to San Diego the day before doing a software implementation. Got to work around 5am PST and my wife called and told me about the first plane and while she was on the phone the second plane hit. I was following the events online and via phone.
With no planes flying I was stuck in San Diego for the weekend and decided to drive to Las Vegas. Vegas was eery. The streets were pretty empty. People stuck there were not gambling. No one was coming in. The casinos shut down a lot of the games and some shows.
Never forget. May God bless the USA!

I was sitting on my sofa in the living room updating my patrol manuals with newly issued updates. I was watching the news and winding down for a nap to get rested up for some time off. I watched all of the tragic events unfold, called my wife and waited for the phone to ring. I spent the next 2 days on recall to work patrol/ security in the traffic around the Capitol Beltway and on standby. I will never forget. God Bless America.

On 9/11/01, I was a freshman at UT, having been there merely a month. All of us were still trying to figure out how to live on our own, how to be completely self-reliant, and how to deal with the new world we'd been thrust in.
When we woke up that morning, we walked out to the common area and stared at the television, with smoke pouring out of the Pentagon and Twin Towers. We all looked at each other, trying to figure out how we should respond. Do we go to class? Do we call someone? Do we need to go somewhere else, to a safe place? We all made sure we had each other's cell phone numbers, and headed out to the academic buildings to figure things out.
Most buildings had televisions setup in the lobbies, all tuned to news stations. Professors mostly cancelled class that day, but hardly anyone went back to the dorms. Most folks seemed to want to stay in public areas, watching the televisions and not talking much at all. I called home around midday and checked in. It was a very surreal day.

Steph: I thought you were going out to buy chicken.
Me: I was. But I decided to get pizza and cigarrettes instead.
Nick: Is that the pizza?
Steph: No, it's a guitar cable.
Me: I'm going to step out and get cancer now.
Last night I went to an indie rock (the phrase begs to not be capitalized) show at the Gream American Music Hall with Nick and Schnitz. Acts playing were Magic Magicians, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and Quasi. The first act was lame two person drums and guitar only noodling, with scream-whined vocals. I never got the impression that this was a band, just two guys fucking around. Ted Leo & Co. rocked out on a few of the songs, which I approve of, but on others there was an overwhelming sense of preciousness and self-importance, and I can't stand the way Ted Leo sings.
Quasi were quite good. What is it with these ex-husband/ex-wife two-person acts these days? That's some fucked up shit. Anyway, the drumming was phenomenal, and the keyboard playing was pretty rad. The singing was pretty nondescript to me, though, and when the keyboard player guy picked up his guitar, he apparently lost all ability to create cool funky and melodic soundscapes, and reverted to shapeless indie-generic noodling. Some of those songs were saved by the drumming though.
Oh yeah, there were a lot of cute girls there.
All in all it wasn't bad for a night of three bands I'd never heard of before.
the culinary arts
Recent dishes I've made include orchiette with a sauce of forest-picked porcini, shallots and port wine, and tuna casserole (spiral noodles, tuna, mayonnaise and peas). Mood swingy eating habits.
I also watched the Iron Chef mango battle just now (Iron Chef Italian vs. a Mexican chef) and it rocked. Amazing dishes on both sides.
personal hacking
I've been working hard on reviewing the upcoming GNOME Human Interface Guidelines. Along the way I read many other HIGs including the classic Macintosh HiG and the new Aqua HIG. Quite a learning experience. I am getting more and more interested in interface design, and I hope someday I can have a job that mixes in more of that with programming.
work hacking
There were plans afoot for me to work on an interesting new open source technology at work. But it looks like we may manage to convince Apple to adopt the best existing open source product for this purpose instead, and help with it's development. I probably shouldn't say more until things are more firmly decided. Apple is definitely getting less dfearful of the LGPL and to some extent even the GPL.
The proprietary bits bug me, but Apple is doing way more to bring a great UI to Un*x, and to bring Un*x and free software to the masses, than many pure free software companies.
Still, it disturbs me how many people are just utter Apple fanboys, including people who work here. I'm pretty indifferent to the whole thing.

Outlast� materials will keep you more comfortable by absorbing excess body heat when you create too much and releasing it when you need it most.
To hear more about Amoena's revolutionary Comfort+ Technology, click play below:
Care Instructions:
Amoena breast forms are incredibly resilient and are designed to stand up to the normal everyday demands place upon them. If cared for correctly, your breast form should last you for many years. However, take care not to puncture your breast form with sharp objects, such as pins or pet claws, as repair is not possible. Use of talcum powder and body lotions on or around your breast form should also be avoided. To ensure your breast form remains in good condition, you should wash it every day with soap and water and dry with a soft cloth or towel. When not being worn, you should keep your breast form in the cradle provided, as this will help to maintain its shape.
For 40 years, Amoena has focused its efforts on addressing the needs of women, especially those affected by breast cancer. As the breast care industry leader, the company is committed to designing collections that meet the most demanding standards for comfort, support and style. Its fashions and symmetry shapers help women feel beautiful, confident and supported in whatever they wear - from seductive lingerie to comfortable leisure wear. Amoena products reflect and celebrate women's boldness, bravery, inner strength and regained confidence. Other brands may offer more daring collections, but none are more courageous than Amoena.
Amoena manufactures its products under strict regulations, in accordance with ISO 9001, this guarantees top product quality.
The Amoena breast forms are made from two materials that are soft on the skin: Silicone and PU Film.
Silicone and PU-Film:
Silicone is produced synthetically from the natural raw materials sand and coal and is therefore a natural product. It offers various advantages: silicone is kind to the skin, soft, water-repellent and very risistant to both chemicals and heat. This means that the breast forms adapt quickly to body temperature. Amoena develops and produces all its silicone gel itself. They are mixed from silicone raw materials and their quality is carefully checked.
The name PU Film refers to an extremely hard-wearing, high performance film that closely resembles the skin in softness and suppleness. Intensive tests have shown that the film causes no allergic reactions or skin irritation. With this gossamer-thin but hard-wearing film, the silicone breast form is very gentle on the skin and body.
Amoena's light-weight and flow breast forms are now covered in a SuperSoft film. This new, finely textured film has a natural silky look that is soft to the touch and is extremely flexible.
Adhesive materials:
The adhesive surface on the inside of the Amoena Contact breast form is made from adhesive silicone. With excellent skin compatibility test results, adhesive silicone has long been used in medical practice.
Design and Development:
The Amoena Design and Sizing Laboratory develops innovative product solutions that Amoena then has tested by the women affected. Their experience is built into the subsequent series production.
It has always been Amoena's philosophy that only women who have undergone breast surgery know best what the ideal breast form should do and how it should feel.
Amoena therefore relies on close cooperation with women who have undergone breast surgery and works in partnership with over one hundred women who test our products before they are launched onto the market. "Only by working together can we find the best solutions to the problems women face following breast surgery", says Monika Petermann, who is responsible for the development of breast forms at Amoena. She has extensive knowledge of the breast form market and worked as a consultant in a medical products store for 13 years. "The needs of our customers are changing constantly, so we must keep moving on to enable us to perfect the breast form designs of the future", she says. She analyses the experiences of our test wearers and keeps in close contact with the medical professionals who fit our products.
Although the women involved in Amoena's test groups are all from different walks of life, they are united in one idea. They want to use their experience to do something for other women so that in the future others are spared the problems they themselves experienced following their surgery.
Amoena's Quality & Environmental Policy:
Amoena provides a better quality of life for women following breast surgery. Amoena believes in quality - quality in all products and business processes. It is our wish to improve the quality of life for these women- without impairing the quality of life of others. Therefore we commit ourselves to act responsibly and anticipatory in environmental business contexts.
We define quality as innovative and reliable products and effective processes meeting the needs of internal and external customers and thus increasing our customer satisfaction.
Quality, environmental protection and the continual improvements are the responsibility of all employees. Therefore, we aim to:

Lois Lucille Vesperman
Lois Lucille Vesperman, age 86, passed away on Friday, March 15, 2013 at the Skaalen Nursing Home in Stoughton, WI surrounded by family and loving caregivers.
A celebration of her life will be held on Friday, March 22, 2013 at 11:00 at the Livingston United Methodist Church, 415 Woodward Avenue, Livingston, WI with Past John Oliver officiating. Burial will be at Rock Church Cemetery. Visitation with be from 9:00 – 11:00 a.m. immediately preceding the services. The Melby-Bendorf Funeral Home, Platteville, WI is assisting the family. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made in Lois' name to Agrace Hospice in Fitchburg, WI 53711 (5395 E. Cheryl Parkway) or Janesville, WI 53548 (3001 Memorial Drive), Rock Cemetery in Livingston, WI or any charity of your choice. Online condolences may be made at www.melbyfh.com.
Lois was born to Icy and William Wagner on May 11, 1926 on their family farm near Livingston, WI. She graduated from Livingston High School in 1944. She met Paul Vesperman at the dance hall in Rockville and they married on September 24, 1944 in Dodgeville, WI. Paul and Lois started farming on the Vesperman family farm in Ellenboro, and in 1953 they moved to a small farm on County D in Platteville where they lived until 1966. They then moved to the City of Platteville were Lois worked as a cook at the Platteville Junior High and as a retail clerk at Anthony's Department Store. Her last, and favorite, job was working at Spurgeon's Department Store for many years until retiring at age 67.
She loved nothing more than spending time with her family. Visiting her grandchildren and great-children brought such a smile to her face. She particularly loved to reminisce about her childhood and the many people she knew, fondly remembering the good old days, especially those spent with her sisters and brothers. She loved music and we loved to hear her yodel. Lois' favorite pastime was going to garage sales and thrift stores, spending hours shopping and coming home with treasures.
We were so fortunate to have such a loving and caring lady in our lives. She taught us the importance of family. She never judged others, treating everyone with respect, in turn teaching us to love and accept everyone. She taught us that what is on the inside is what really counts. Our inheritance from Mom is what she instilled in our hearts—giving us a solid foundation of love and compassion. If success could be defined by how much one is loved, Mom was an extraordinarily successful person. She will be missed.
Lois was preceded in death by her husband Paul, a daughter Peggy, her parents, three sisters, four brothers and loving in-laws. Survivors include her children: Paula (Tom) Gray, Michael Vesperman, and Beth (Bob) Quinn; her grandchildren: Carrie Gray, Jennifer (Jay) Taylor, Stephanie Gray, Melissa (Travis) Schlegel, Mac (Katie) Vesperman, Nicole Cullen, Amanda (Josh) Pederson, Jacob James, Kami (Maurion Knight) Quinn, Kasey Quinn, and Brianne (Jon) Klein; her great-grandchildren: Mallory and TJ Taylor, Fischer and Macie Schlegel, Anabelle and Mac Michael Vesperman, Liliana and Wyatt Pederson, Lucca Svaldi, Nolia Knight, Nevin Quinn, and Eisley Klein. She is also survived by her dear sister Helen Kenny, sisters-in-law Phyllis Wagner, Audrey Wagner and Jeanette Wagner, brothers-in-law Carl Edge, Jerry (Kathryn) Vesperman, many nieces and nephews, and other family and friends.
Lois' family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff of Skaalen Nursing Home in Stoughton, WI and to the staff of Agrace Hospice Center. Lois was blessed to have them all.

Breast cancer is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells in the breast.
Mammograms are the best method to help detect breast cancer early when the cancer is easier to treat. Mammograms can help to detect breast cancer before it is big enough to feel or cause symptoms. Having regular mammograms can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer.
All women 40 years and older should have a mammogram once a year or as recommended by their doctor.

While Novartis incoming chairman Dr Joerg Reinhardt will get $4.02 million per year, chairman ad-interim, Dr Ulrich Lehner, will get $2.01 million
Singapore: Novartis revealed that it would pay Dr Joerg Reinhardt, the firm's incoming chairman of the board (effective August 1, 2013), a total annual compensation valued at $4.02 million (CHF 3.8 million). The total compensation is comprised of equal cash and share components, including cash compensation of $2.01 million (CHF 1.9 million) (gross) per year and share compensation equal to $2.01 million (CHF 1.9 million) of unrestricted Novartis shares. Novartis also pointed out the pro-rated compensation for the current chairman ad-interim, Dr Ulrich Lehner.
Dr Reinhardt will be eligible for pension and insurance benefits according to the standard Novartis benefit plans. There is no variable or other component to his regular compensation unless provided for in the applicable rules and regulations of Novartis.
Dr Reinhardt will also receive compensation for lost entitlements at his former employer, with a total value of $3.39 million (EUR 2.6 million). Payments will be staggered based on the vesting period at his former employer and extend over the period from 2014 until 2016, provided that he remains in office as the Novartis chairman at the respective due dates.
Prof Dr Ulrich Lehner will receive a pro-rated total annual compensation comprised of equal cash and share components valued at $2.01 million (CHF 1.9 million) for his tenure as chairman ad-interim, which took effect February 22, 2013, after the company's annual general meeting, and ends on July 31, 2013. The total compensation for this period will be approximately $835,624 (CHF 790,000) (gross). There is no variable or other component to Prof Dr Lehner's compensation.
Following completion of his tenure as chairman ad-interim, the compensation of Prof Dr Lehner will revert to the ordinary compensation for a member of the Novartis board of directors as disclosed in the Novartis annual report. Novartis expects to make further disclosures relating to Dr Daniel Vasella at a future point ahead of the disclosures required for the 2013 annual report.

Gen Y: Can You Answer These Business and Dining Etiquette Questions?July 07th, 2010
Hi All!
Recently I was contacted by a large, well-known corporation who is interested in having me conduct my Millennial Business Boot Camp for a group of their Millennial (aka: Gen Y) employees. Their main reason for contacting me was because they knew my boot camp includes a section on Business Etiquette, covering: Meeting etiquette; dining etiquette; communication etiquette, dress etiquette, and general manners etiquette.
The person who contacted me explained that they noticed most of their Millennial employees struggled with these "etiquette areas". I've also conducted workshops, boot camps and seminars for other companies who expressed the same thing.
This is what prompted this very important blog topic. And, Millennials, don't feel bad! I know generations at work of all of ages who also struggle with these etiquette principles! But the sooner you can get a grip on them, the better for you.
So, let's get started…can you answer these 8 questions?
Business Etiquette:
1. What is the proper time to arrive for an appointment?
2. Can you exchange business cards while dining?
3. How can you get more privacy in your cubicle (if you work in a cubicle environment)?
4. How much perfume/cologne is acceptable at work?
Click here for answers to these questions and more!
Dining Etiquette:
1. Is it considered rude to take a sip of your drink while you're still chewing?
2. After the completion of a formal dinner, where do you place your utensils?
3. How should you fold a large napkin before placing it on your lap?
4. What direction should food be passed at a dining table?
Click here for answers to these questions and many others!
As you can see, there are a lot of things you need to be aware of in the world of etiquette. And, remember, having good manners all reflects on YOU and your personal brand at work (and outside of work). So take some time to learn proper etiquette…your boss, co-workers, clients and potential clients, will be impressed!
Bye for now!
