I have been studying the classic book by Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich. The chapter on Persistence highlights just how important persistence is in every area of life where you want to accomplish something.
Hill says, "One thing we all know, if one does not possess persistence, one does not achieve noteworthy success in any calling." Persistence is defined as: firm or obstinate continuance in a course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition. That sounds like something every leader needs to have.
I don't usually think of being obstinate as a good thing but in the case of persistence, it fits. This definition led me to wonder how obstinate I have been in following through with a few new daily routines I have started.
I believe I need to have the same persistence in continuing a daily routine as in executing a big plan at work or following a life goal. When was the last time you evaluated how obstinate you were in pursuing a coarse of action at work or home or in doing a daily routine?
Hill also says that persistence is a state of mind and therefore can be cultivated. So that means there is hope for me in getting better at doing those daily routines. How can you cultivate persistence? Hill lists four steps:
- A definite purpose backed by burning desire for its fulfillment.
- A definite plan, expressed in continuous action.
- A mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances.
- A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.
Summed up that means know what you want to accomplish and really, really want to do it. Have a written plan that keeps you always moving forward. Tune out all the negative influences that say you can't do it, especially from those who are close to you. And have someone to encourage you and help keep you accountable to your plan.
Sounds easy right? It may not be so easy in the beginning but the more we do it, the more persistent we become. Hill adds that those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. No matter how many times they are defeated, they finally arrive up toward the top of the ladder.
Babe Ruth said it like this, "You just can't beat the person who never gives up." There are many times leaders may feel like giving up but those that persist, learn from failures or setbacks and keep going end up achieving success.
Do you have the answer yet to my opening question? What does persistence have to do with leadership – everything. Take a look at areas of your leadership where you are not getting the results you want. It may be that you need to cultivate a little more persistence to get you through.

The ancient city of Persepolis in Iran
When we arrived at the ancient city of Persepolis true to form we hadn't done much research at all so we didn't really know what to expect. Iran constantly blew our mind but what we saw here still has me talking about how amazing it was and constantly reminding people that it was destroyed by Alexander the Great in an attempt to give them some idea of the time line Persepolis sits on. The sheer size and detail in everything you see here is mind blowing not to mention it is 13 hectares so it's an incredible size. I just could not get over it!
Getting to Persepolis
The easiest way would probably be to head there from Shiraz. We were staying with a local family in Shiraz. Persepolis is about 60kms north east of the city. The family we were with drove us but if you don't have that luxury the easiest way to get around is by taxi. It will cost you next to nothing and they are super accommodating and will stop anywhere you want. We never had a taxi driver try and rip us off so you are pretty safe just paying what ever they ask.
We actually took a 7 hour taxi ride and it cost us about 30-40 USD and he stopped constantly for us to take photos so price should not really be an issue for a 30 minute ride. Chances are they will wait there for you also or even come in with you and help explain some of the history to you.
The entrance fee to Persepolis is 150,000 Rials, which is about 4-5 USD.
History of Persepolis.
Darius I the third king of the Persian Achaemenid Empire who ruled the empire at its peak founded Persepolis. It was built on an enormous half natural, half artificial terrace. The king created an incredible palace complex influenced by Mesopotamian models.
Persepolis became a designated UNESCO world heritage site in 1979 and they claim it is among the world's greatest archaeological sites. The earliest remains of Persepolis date back to 515 BC which to me after seeing it is so completely mind blowing. Some of what we saw was in an almost perfect condition. This is after 2500 years, it has been looted and set on fire and just left to sit with no care.
In 330 BC Alexander the Great sent the main force of his army to Persepolis. After a few short battles, the last and most important being the Battle of the Persian Gate which lasted about 30 days the city fell and Alexander the Great took possession of it. After a few short months Alexander let his army loot the city and around the same time a fire burned the palaces.
Ignorantly I do not always get super into the history of places but the history behind Persepolis and the fact it was fought over by historical figures like Alexander the Great and Darius I around the peak of both of their empires had me losing it.
This is Darius I.
I could not figure out at all how in the world these were in such good condition after 2000 plus years.
A bunch of early explores and travellers I would assume mostly traders carved their names into some of the statues a long time ago. This one is from 1897.

On May 20, 2015, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense ("CADE") issued guidelines on gun jumping ("Guidelines"). These Guidelines are not binding on parties involved in transactions that require antitrust approval in Brazil, but they serve as an important guidance for companies and individuals seeking to avoid engaging in gun jumping, a violation pursuant to the Law 12,529/2011 (the "Brazilian Antitrust Law").
I) General overview
The Guidelines cover three main topics: (i) information exchange between the parties involved in a transaction; (ii) contractual provisions that govern the relationship between parties; and (iii) the conduct of parties prior to, and during, the negotiation of a transaction.
CADE acknowledges that the negotiation of a deal will necessarily lead to the exchange of information between the parties involved in the deal, especially for the purpose of evaluating the company and due diligence, but it notes that, under certain circumstances, there might be a risk the parties will exchange commercially sensitive information that goes beyond that strictly necessary for the closing of a transaction.
In view of the foregoing, the Guidelines provide a non-exhaustive list of what CADE views as "commercially sensitive information" that, if shared between the parties, could potentially give rise to gun jumping issues. This list includes information on costs, marketing strategies, and employees' salaries. In order to minimize this type of risk, the Guidelines suggest the use of historic data or a compilation of commercially sensitive information to avoid identification of specific information. In addition, the Guidelines recommend the use of "clean teams" and "parlor rooms", if appropriate (please see below for further details).
As for contractual provisions that govern the relationship between the parties to a transaction subject to approval by CADE, the Guidelines focus on ensuring that the parties' conduct will not impact the current competitive environment until CADE's final clearance decision is issued. Therefore, the Guidelines provide another non-exhaustive list of particular sections in the parties' agreement that could imply that the parties jumped the gun in violation of the Brazilian Antitrust Law. This list includes, amongst others:
- Clauses stipulating that the agreement will be effective as of a certain date that is prior to its signature, which results in certain integration between the parties;
- Prior non-compete obligations;
- The non-refundable upfront payment of consideration, in full or in part, except for: (i) down payments commonly used in commercial transactions; (ii) any deposit of the payment into an escrow account; or (iii) break-up fees; and
- Clauses that allow direct interference by one party in respect of strategic aspects of the counter-party's business, such as pricing decisions, customers, commercial/sales/marketing strategies, amongst other sensitive decisions, except for those aimed at protecting against deviations from the ordinary course of business so as to protect the value of the business being acquired.
Lastly, the Guidelines furnish certain examples of conduct that may raise concerns. These examples include transfer or sharing of assets between the parties, exercise of voting rights or other relevant influence in relation to the counter-parties' companies and integration of sales efforts between the parties.
II) Mitigating the risk of gun jumping
Brazilian merger regulations acknowledge that the parties to a transaction can exchange commercially sensitive information to the extent strictly necessary for the closing of a certain transaction. With this in mind, the Guidelines suggest mechanisms to mitigate against the risk of gun jumping between the negotiation phase and CADE's clearance. These mechanisms include:
A) Antitrust Protocol: a document prepared by the parties to formalize specific procedures that will govern the exchange of commercially sensitive information between them prior to obtaining CADE's clearance.
B) Clean Team and Executive Committee: creation of independent committees that may be formed by the company's employees, independent consultants or both (i.e. a "clean team") or by executives from both companies (i.e. an executive committee). The use of a clean team is recommended in complex transactions. This team should be responsible for sending, receiving, gathering, reviewing and dealing with relevant commercially sensitive information.
The Guidelines propose procedures to be followed by the members of the clean team, including: (i) signing of a confidentiality agreement and compliance with the agreed antitrust protocol; (ii) refraining from disclosing commercially sensitive information from one party to another; (iii) exclusive or preferential dedication by an individual member of the clean team, if this member is an employee of one of the parties to the transaction; and (iv) recording of all communication, requests for or submission of information.
The Guidelines further recommend that the clean team report directly and exclusively to the members of the executive committee, recording all the exchanges of information with this committee and ensuring that they undertake to keep the information exchanged confidential. Pursuant to the Guidelines, the members of the clean team cannot be part of the executive committee and vice-versa.
C) Access to information and confidentiality: the exchange of commercially sensitive information must take place exclusively through the clean team. The information the clean team requests from the parties must be limited to what is necessary to carry out the transaction. All the members of these independent committees must commit to keep confidential all the information they exchange.
D) Dealing with confidential information: when the clean team receives commercially sensitive information, it may not directly pass this on to the executive committee. The members of the team must first review this information and, only if they deem it appropriate to share the information with the executive committee, they must then process such information by compiling it to make it unidentifiable or ensuring that the information is at least three months old before sharing it with the executive committee members.
E) Parlor Rooms: members of the executive committee may discuss the future integration between the companies involved in the transaction in meetings with this specific purpose ("parlor rooms"). In addition, these meetings must be monitored to ensure that no commercially sensitive information is disclosed.
III) Potential sanctions
Pursuant to the Brazilian Antitrust Law, gun jumping exposes the parties to the following sanctions: (i) fines ranging from R$60,000 to R$60 million; (ii) investigation into the parties' behavior prior to obtaining CADE's clearance for potential antitrust infringements; and (iii) administrative or judicial remedies, or both, which may result in any act implemented in violation of the standstill obligation being declared null and void.
The Guidelines stipulate that, when examining potential fines, CADE must observe the rules stipulated in the Brazilian Antitrust Law, such as the status of the transaction (e.g., if the transaction was submitted to CADE after its closing or if gun jumping occurred during CADE's review); its own review of the merits of the investigation (e.g. unconditional clearance, clearance with remedies, prohibition); and the financial situation of the parties involved.
As indicated above, CADE may seek remedies to have acts implemented in violation of the standstill obligation declared null and void. In this regard, the Guidelines provide that this sanction may be used by CADE taking into account the timing and extent of the conduct, the proportionality of the sanction compared to the conduct, and the possibility of the parties reversing the acts to be declared null and void.

Are you hot? Obama asks Americans suffering power outage
Addressing the gathering, Obama, who is seeking re- election in November, tried to lift the mood at the party.
Washington: How`s it going, everybody? Are you hot?
This is how US President Barack Obama began his Independence Day address as over millions of Americans braved a scorching hot July 4 holiday without power.
The president, accompanied by first lady Michelle Obama, hosted a barbecue and concert yesterday on the White House South Lawn and mingled with service members, some in wheelchairs, and their families amid tents with lemonade and cotton candy stands.
Addressing the gathering, Obama, who is seeking re- election in November, tried to lift the mood at the party by saying he would be speaking briefly so as not to ruin a nice backyard barbecue.
"Now, the last thing anybody wants to do is to ruin a nice backyard barbecue with a long speech, so I`m going to be quick," he said amid applause.
"It is always such an honour for us to spend this holiday with members of our military and your extraordinary families. All of you represent what is best in America.
"So as your Commander-in-Chief -- but also as an American -- I want to invite all of you over to say one thing: thank you," Obama said.
"All the men and women who stand with us here this afternoon are an example of this generation of heroes -- this 9/11 Generation that has earned its place in history alongside the greatest generations," he said.
"So, Happy Fourth of July, everybody. Enjoy the fireworks. Get some hot dogs. God bless you. God bless your families. And God bless the United States of America," he said.
Nearly one million people went without power on Independence Day yesterday as utilities worked to restore service five days after severe storms hit the eastern US, wreaking havoc from Illinois to Ohio to Kentucky, and causing destruction in and around the capital Washington.
Some towns cancelled firework displays marking the national holiday, saying police and firefighters could not be spared as repair work continued.
The damage was mostly blamed on a meteorological phenomenon known as a derecho, which saw hurricane-force winds buffeted ahead of fast-moving thunderstorms.
The derecho brought down trees and power lines, leaving three million people without electricity in the wake of the storm.
The extreme heat, which continued over the following days, was blamed for 24 deaths in seven states. Two additional deaths were reported yesterday.

CESC won this year�s title without losing any of their league matches, their only draw coming against Khalsa Blues in the first game.
With this victory, CESC went onto 25 points off 13 games while Customs are on 18 from 12. Customs have to win their last game against Eastern Railway to cement their runners-up slot.
CESC stamped their dominance on today�s match making a number of forays in the opposition territory. Though the Customs team managed to keep out the marauders in the first half, it was just a matter of time before their defence gave way.
The winner for CESC came about when Lalit Singh sent a measured ball from the right and Sunil Surin, lurking in the D made no mistake. For the latter half of the second session, CESC defended well and did not allow much opening for the Customs boys.
Meanwhile, Sekhar Chakroborty, CESC�s sports secretary informed the company would recommend promotions for all the team members. He added that the inclusion of six players from SAI just before the league started had hugely strengthened the team. �Anil Ekka, our latest recruit, was the real star for us this season,� Chakroborty added.
In the Group B match of the day, Behala SA got a walk-over because Jagrihi did not turn up.
The controversy was over Gomes warning Railway offie Kanchan Maity that he would be called for chucking if he bowled the last over. Kanchan had bowled five overs in the match before that and had conceded 31 runs, having been called for chucking once. He has never been called for chucking, except in this match. The problem was with the umpire forewarning.
Railway players claimed that this �warning� tilted the balance in favour of East Bengal.
Both the teams were locked on the same score of 201 in 38 overs. With Maity not being allowed, Sanjoy Bhattacharya bowled the last over and East Bengal managed six runs that helped them to tie the score. They needed one run for victory in the last ball, but captain Alokendu Chatterjee was run out.
However, East Bengal players were themselves to blame for the difficulty. Prasenjit Ganguly (58) and Naushad Akhtar (55) batted beautifully in the middle overs as they put up 106 runs for the fifth wicket. But once Ganguly got out, the East Bengal batsmen committed hara-kiri to put themselves in a mess.
Earlier, Eastern Railway batsmen gave very good account of themselves as they put up 201 in the allotted overs. Omprakash Tewari made a well-made 53 while Abdul Munayam, Dharmendra Singh and Shib Sagar Singh taking two wickets each.
Railway players said aside that it was �difficult for any umpire not to call Munnayam for chucking.�
Talking to newsmen after the pitches committee meeting of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), the expert said: �Moveable pitches can be a solution and I will ask the BCCI to take up this plan on a long-term basis.�
McAuliffe was a special invitee to the BCCI meeting which also discussed the preparation of faster and bouncier tracks in India. �We are thinking of a special type of clay for making these wickets,� informed one of the committee members.
The curators of the 10 centres, where pitches will be relaid, will get �lessons� from a New Zealand curator very soon.
It was also learnt the BCCI will send two names for the panel of umpires ICC proposes to set up for ODIs. A.V. Jayaprakash is almost a certainty for this new panel. �The other umpire will be from Hariharan, Devendra Sharma, Jasbir Singh and Shivram,� a senior BCCI official said.
Bagan�s budget upAfter slashing the club�s budget by Rs 40 lakhs, McDowell, the sponsors of Mohun Bagan, have now decided to rollback the cut for the forthcoming season. Mohun Bagan secretary Anjan Mitra told reporters Friday that following increased pressure from the club authorities, the sponsors have decided to increase the club budget from Rs 1.55 crores to Rs 1.80 crores.
The secretary said they would pressurise McDowell for a further increase in the budget before June 1. �Since the inter-club transfers have not started yet, we hope to persuade the players who are keen to go out, to stay back in the club,� Mitra said adding that there would be a meeting with the players very soon.
Meanwhile, Mohun Bagan will launch an academy called the Mohun Bagan-SAIL academy at Durgapur from July 20.
Sangram to stayEast Bengal confirmed the services of goalkeeper Sangram Mukherjee and medio Chandan Das for the forthcoming season. However, Ratan Singh�s contract will not be renewed.
Women�s meetThe East Bengal women�s team beat Income Tax 3-1 in the IFA women�s league Friday. Sujata Kar scored twice while Seena CV netted one for East Bengal. Sayanti Nandy scored the reducer for Income Tax. Meanwhile, Nabajanma beat Itika Memorial 2-0 in another match at the SAI. Barnali Das and Seema Dey were the scorers.
Lawn bowlingL.C. Alloys comprising Dinesh Kapoor and Arun Nanda won the 23rd Lawn Bowl Championships Friday beating Alloy Steel consisting of Chandan Shroff and Manish Chamaria 18-12. In the loser�s plate final, Conrex Batteries beat Shah Brothers 15-9.
2 meet recordsTwo meet records, both by women, were set on the second day of the state athletics at the Salt Lake stadium Friday. Pampa Chanda of Eastern Railway set the first record when she ran 10,000 metres in 36:00:8 minutes while Ratna Sarkar of South 24 Parganas threw the discus to a distance of 39.52 metres.

�All fellow-competitors are friendly but Rutherford has hit off very well with the English speaking apprentices from South Africa, Austria, Australia and New Zealand,� say the family sources. �On Friday, all apprentices had gone for goodwill tour to a town in China,� said mother Geraldine.
�His rides having done well during the morning try outs, Rutherford is very excited about his prospects of doing well in Sunday�s races,� added mother. �He fancies his chances strongly atop The Rich Horse in the 1,800m race. Each of the two races have 14 runners,� she continued. Drawn seven, Rutherford partners Deep Green in the sprint event.
Apprentices participating in the meet are paid $US 1,000 for each mount and 10 percent of the stakes upon winning a race. The stakes offered for the sprint is $US 300,000 and $US 450,000 for the 1,800m race.

Sell high on Alfred Morris
With one week of football in the books, it's time to begin looking ahead to Week 2. Perhaps your team go bit by the injury bug — or perhaps you just love negotiations — but trade season is now in full swing.
That's where the below charts come in handy.
With Week 2 now upon us, it's also time to reintroduce the Fantasy 124, a "stock market" index of sorts that will be updated weekly. Here's a quick explanation from last year, when the Fantasy 124 was first unveiled:
It's makeshift modeled after the S&P 500 — one of the largest Wall Street stock exchange indexes. The Fantasy 124 is an index showing the value of the (roughly) 124 most valuable fantasy football players on a weekly basis.
Why 124? Because that's how many players were first on the list, and it's as good of a number as any.
The index — and the trade value charts below — rely on PFF Fantasy's Rest of Season projections from Mike Clay. The dollar amounts assume a 12-team league with a $200 cap and a starting lineup of 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE and 1 Flex.
The charts don't feature exactly 124 players anymore, but the number of players doesn't matter all that much; it's just the name of the market, and all you really need to know is that the Fantasy 124 represents that trade values of all of startable fantasy players each and every week.
Backups, handcuffs and weekly fill-ins all obviously have some fantasy value as well, but for the sake of brevity, we had to cut the list off somewhere. If a player is not listed, consider his value to be $1.
The purpose of the Fantasy 124 is to show risers and fallers at a macro-level. As you can see below, wideouts are a little devalued right now compared to where they were one week ago. This is partly attributable to Dez Bryant's injury, but also because nearly all of the top wideouts underwhelmed in Week 1.
As a result, wideouts can now be acquired for a little less than they could have been acquired for one week ago. This is represented on the Fantasy 124 — you can see that the value of wideouts dropped 3.56 percent week-over-week.
We only have two week's worth of data (the index started at 1000 and each position started at 100), so the Fantasy 124 isn't all that riveting right now, but we will watch it grow throughout the season and follow the action.

Trypical Andalusian Spanish Tapas dish that combines two of many peoples favourite food.
- Yield
- 4 starters
- 16 Large raw tiger prawns
- Dash of Olive Oil
- 1 Medium clove of garlic
- 2 tablepoons of spanish brandy
- 2 finely chopped small fresh red chili
- salt and Sweet Pepper Powder
- 50g of bashed dark bitter chocolate (70%+ cocoa)
- 3 Large Oranges
- Clean and butterfly your prawns but leave on the heads and tails. To butterfly the prawns run a knife 3/4 of the way through the prawn from its back and remove it excretory tract. Not nice to eat once you know what it is! Coat the pan in a little Spanish olive oil, extra virgin tends to give it a little more a metallic taste so I prefer just simple virgin olive oil. Saute the prawns in the garlic and chili for 3 minutes or until all coloration has changed from translucent to pinky red then season with salt and sweet pepper. Deglaze the pan with the brandy. Do a little flambe if you wish. Then add your chocolate pieces, squeeze the juice of 2 oranges into the pan and simmer until the chocolate has melted and the sauce is hot and bubbling. Use the third orange to taste if its a little strong on the chocolate, or use it to garnish the plate.

text: So while I love Chanel every time I go to a boutique I leave empty handed... I would LOVE to have a jumbo or a timeless clutch (or both) in a nice color like this season's lovely red, or any other bright and interesting color. Trouble is, whenever I ask about it the SAs laugh at me and insist that, for eg, there is no red this season (only the perfo), or that the clutch only comes in black and white... I always insist that I have seen pics and that friends of mine have bought other colors (that's you, lovely PFers!) but the SAs insist so much that I can't convince them that I *know* what I'm asking for! I have given them my phone# several times asking to please call me if a red comes in but they never have... Also, in 2005, I'd seen some pics of a nice sky blue classic flap in a magazine, tore out the page and gave it to my mother who went to the rue Cambon boutique, showed it to the SAs and they said that this color doesn't exist, and that the classic flap only came in black white and beige that season. So maybe that sky blue was never released in France? So... Do any of you have similar experiences? Also, does Chanel make different colors in the USA and Paris? Did anyone find this season's red in Paris? Please help, I am now determined to find a colorful Chanel purse!

Author has written 2 stories for Digimon.
Hello. I have finally decided to make an account on this site, I have been an avid reader for a few years now especially for fandoms I love such as Digimon specifically seasons 1, 2 and 3 since I haven't seen any of the others. The reason I decided to make an account is because I'm sick of complaining to people to stop the bashing. If you can't stand a certain character/couple don't write it, just write your favorite couple with all the characters treated right. Try to give even writing out your least favorite character in the fairest way. Here are the common things to avoid (I'm giving for Digimon right now since thats the fandom I read in usually).
Season 1 fanfics:
- Tai being too egocentric and trying to do everything on his own [he may have been like that at first but remember he learned from his mistakes and learned how to co-operate well in a team.)
- Matt being too much of a jerk, yelling at everyone and always trying to pick fights [Again, after his little self-discovery trip he became much more friendler and managed to open his heart.]
- Joe being completely useless, not being able to help out apart from when someone else gets injured [Guys, Joe is just as much a part of the team as anyone else he shouldn't just be pushed to the side.]
- Izzy leaving his computer to rescue the damsel in distress(usually Mimi) [Even if that did happen in the series, don't make it a habit of doing this in fanfics.]
- Mimi being a selfish brat and doing something that nearly gets everyone killed [Again, she learned from her mistake and never made it again.]
- Sora being too reliant on others [While Sora does rely on others occasionally for example Joe, Matt, Tai...she's not the type whom if she has a problem she'll run into her friend/lover's arms.]
- T.K. being a crybaby [Would a crybaby have been able to protect Kari from Piedmon and tried to be strong for her?]
- Kari being too holy, not being able to commit a sin, always caring for others [Guys, Kari isn't perfect she has her flaws, remember she's a kid she can cry at times too and not be all that brave.]
Season 2 fanfics
- Davis being a jerk and doing something to break T.K. and Kari up or him becoming the corrupted villian to tries to kill Kari for breaking his heart [Guys, Davis has the digimental of friendship. Not only that but he actually cares a lot about his friends, he would never hurt them.]
- Yolei being too selfish or materialistic [Okay, maybe she didn't entirely grow out of that but you can always put that as her weakness and have her romance interest and friends help her through it. No need to bash her because of a flaw she has.]
- Cody being as stiff as his kendo stick [I think if Cody can eventually bring himself to forgive Ken and have so much compassion towards Oikawa at the end, I don't think he is as stiff as everyone says.]
- Ken being a china doll [Okay, yes he is submissive but he's a soccer player and I'm sure someone as smart as him would know martial arts.]
- T.K. being the knight in shining armour and the perfect Digidestined [Okay he is not an angel despite having that digimon nor is he a knight in shining armor. He does have a bit of 'being the hero' complex which can be worked on in a T.K.-centric fanfic.]
- Kari being the everything everyone wants in a girl. [Okay while I admit Kari isn't one of my favorites in the series either, but the way she is portrayed as the one everyone turns to when they're upset, the one all guys want to date, the one everyone turns to for an opinion, the one everyone compliments.]
- Veemon and Patamon being shown as rivals [Veemon may have expressed interest in Gatomon, but Patamon never did so thus canonically there is/should not be any rivalry between these characters.]
Season 3
- Takato being shown as a crybaby [Personally, I think while Takato is a sensitive character I think he really grew as a character, he went from being a crybaby to a really well-developed character with a strong heart and sense of justice and morals.]
- Henry being shown as a jerk [I have seen this so much and it kills me since Henry is one of my favorites. Henry DOES NOT hate Terriermon, he does not belittle him. Henry is like in a sense like a parent to Terriermon, he scolds him when he does something wrong and tries to shelter/protect him from any danger, support him when he's hurt.]
- Rika being shown as a damsel in distress [While anyone can be put in a situation like this, UNLESS you have a good reason to make it believable, going on this path can lead to a lot of OOCness.]
- Jeri being shoved aside, or shown as completely powerless [Many people think Jeri is quite weak due to the D-Reaper incident. Personally, I feel she is even stronger than Rika. Before Rika-fanatics jump down my throat for that, think about it, Rika's parents are divorced, her Mum is a model and doesn't pay much attention to her which is why Rika became so cold. Jeri's mum died when she was only a few years old, her dad is strict and kinda negligent yet before Leomon's death, she was always this cheerful, happy character who seemed to enjoy life. And even after Leomon's death, she did manage to get out of the D-Reaper situation sorta before Takato rescued her.]
- Kazu being shown as clueless [now you're going to say but he is, yes but he's not a complete idiot either he gave Takato a power-up card didn't he? And volunteered to stay back to watch Suzie.]
- Kenta just being shown in Kazu's shadow [Give him some personality people, he lacks confidence in himself but he seems like a smart guy.]
- Suzie as just the annoying little sister [She was annoying, I hand you that but she has a really big heart. She refused to seperate from Lopmon, and her desire to help Lopmon led her to where her partner was. For a six year old that is pretty impressive.]
- I have nothing for Ryo unfortunately. Tamers didn't give enough information on him to give him a doable personality.
I am not pretending to be an expert on the Digimon characters, but I do put my utmost effort to write them how they were portrayed in the series, if its a few years after, add a few streaks of maturity to them but not make them completely unrecognisable from the series. Now couples I like:
Digimon Adventure:
Taichi/Hikari (sibling relationship)
Yamato/Takeru (sibling relationship)
Digimon/Chosen Children friendships
Digimon Adventure 02:
Digimon/Chosen children friendship
Digimon Tamers:
Jenrya/Shuichon (sibling relationship)
Hirokazu/Kenta/Takato (friendship)
Takato/Ruki/Jenrya (friendship)
Digimon/Tamers friendships
Ai/Mako/Impmon (friendship)
Digimon Frontier:
Digimon Xros Wars/Hunters:
Zenjirou/Nene (o.O Nene sure is a player :P)

- Churchill comedian Professor Hamo has lost his dad
- His father died after a heart attack on Wednesday night
Churchill comedian Herman Kago, popularly known as Prof Hamo, lost his beloved father on Wednesday night, October 5.
His father died of a heart attack on that fateful night.
READ ALSO: Police shot dead in Boni forest by colleague in a case of mistaken identity
The comedian announced the sad news on Facebook saying how his father was a big role model to him.
"The greatest gift we have is that of parents," he said in the sad post.
"They sacrifice a lot to raise us up and always wish us the very best. It is with a heavy heart that I inform you of the demise of my dear dad (I loved to call him "Fathee") on Wednesday 5th October 2016.
"A man who has made me be what I am today. Among the so many things I have learnt from him is "NEVER COMPLAIN" no matter the circumstances. Rest in peace Fathee, a man of great FAITH. In my heart you remain forever."
Comedian Churchill also posted an update honouring his dad on his social media accounts.
"Please join me in consoling our very finest #ChurchillShowComedian Professor Hamo who lost his dearly beloved father through a heart attack on Wednesday night. Give him words of encouragement and hope at this trying moment.. all shall be well Prof Hamo.
The 32-year-old Hammo grew up in Nakuru in the military base in Lanet since his father was in the army. Prof Hamo has done odd jobs such as a dog trainer and a mandazi seller. He is a talented singer as many have noticed because he honed his skills at St. Peter's Catholic Church where he sang in the choir.

I have binary matrices in C++ that I repesent with a vector of 8-bit values.
For example, the following matrix:
1 0 1 0 1 0 1
0 1 1 0 0 1 1
0 0 0 1 1 1 1
const uint8_t matrix[] = {
const uint8_t transposed[] = {
I've spent more time looking for a solution, and I've found some good ones.
On a modern x86 CPU, transposing a binary matrix can be done very efficiently with SSE2 instructions. Using such instructions it is possible to process a 16×8 matrix.
This solution is inspired by this blog post by mischasan and is vastly superior to every suggestion I've got so far to this question.
The idea is simple:
#include <emmintrin.h>
uint8_t variables into an
_mm_movemask_epi8 to get the MSBs of each byte, producing an
_mm_slli_epi64 to shift the 128-bit register by one
Unfortunately, I also need to make this work on ARM. After implementing the SSE2 version, it would be easy to just just find the NEON equivalents, but the Cortex-M CPU, (contrary to the Cortex-A) does not have SIMD capabilities, so NEON isn't too useful for me at the moment.
NOTE: Because the Cortex-M doesn't have native 64-bit arithmetics, I could not use the ideas in any answers that suggest to do it by treating a 8x8 block as an
uint64_t. Most microcontrollers that have a Cortex-M CPU also don't have too much memory so I prefer to do all this without a lookup table.
After some thinking, the same algorithm can be implemented using plain 32-bit arithmetics and some clever coding. This way, I can work with 4×8 blocks at a time. It was suggested by a collegaue and the magic lies in the way 32-bit multiplication works: you can find a 32-bit number with which you can multiply and then the MSB of each byte gets next to each other in the upper 32 bits of the result.
uint8_ts in a 32-bit variable
If you do this with two 4×8 blocks, then you can get an 8x8 block done and arrange the resulting bits so that everything goes into the right place.

Baby boomers, growing older, excitement, opportunity and possibility all have something in common. Emerging is a societal change looking to this enormous number of people for wisdom, innovation, energy and creativity in the work force, on the home front and in the main stream. The old paradigm of people doing less and pulling out of the work place and society as they mature has gone away and is replaced with the power and inspiration the aging baby boomers are bringing to the forefront
They have more experience, lessons learned, disposable income and health than many of the junior people they work and play with. Collaboration of each generation's gifts are "what is happening now" and its never been a more productive time, personally and professionally.
The growing and aging baby boomers are becoming catalysts for change in the 3rd and 4th quarter of their lives. They are incorporating physical, psychological, social and productive well-being. Celebrate each lesson learned from each decade.

Interim Progress Report Summary
Executive summary
1. This project aims to fill a gap in the learning and skills infrastructure nationally by creating a new, voluntary role for employees in non-unionised workplaces: the Workplace Learning Advocate.
2. The Workplace Learning Advocate (WLA) promotes learning in their workplace by
- Encouraging and supporting learners
- Organising learning events
- Offering information and advice about learning to colleagues
- Engaging management and HR to secure employer support for learning
- Building networks within and beyond their employer-organisation and linking with local learning providers and other resource-holders.
3. In the period to March 2012, the project worked in four regions Midlands, London, the North-West and the North-East) to
- Promote the WLA role to employers, business intermediaries and skills bodies
- Train over 70 employees to take on the WLA role
- Construct an infrastructure to support the WLA role.
Over 45 non-unionised employers (most employing less than 250 staff) from a range of sectors participated.
4. Results suggest the project has achieved proof of concept for the WLA role. The role has won support in organisations of varying sizes across a range of sectors in various parts of the country.
5. There is anecdotal and qualitative evidence that the WLA role has impacted positively on teamwork, team cohesion and staff motivation and morale. It is perceived by employers and employees to add value to the employment offer.
6. In Lincolnshire and Rutland, the Employment and Skills Board (ESB) saw the WLA role as a cost-effective way to encourage informal, employee-directed, voluntary workplace learning. The ESB's employer-members reported that it:
- Built individuals' confidence in their own ability to learn
- Encouraged and support staff to share skills informally
- Fostered a workplace culture of coaching and mentoring
- Developed workforce skills
- Enhanced cohesion and team working
- Helped organisations to meet criteria for quality awards such as Investors in People
7. Outcomes include uptake of basic skills learning, apprenticeships and vocational qualifications. Employers reported that the role's peer-to-peer focus added value to 'top-down' organisational learning systems.
8. WLAs recruited and trained by the project came from a range of roles including production, administration, HR and management. Most were women. The WLA role offered these employees career and personal development, including confidence-building.
9. Employer commitment enabled WLAs from different organisations to meet regularly. These meetings were motivational and helped WLAs develop a shared sense of role identity and learn from each other.
10. A modified version of this approach that focused on organisations that provided business services to micro and small employers succeeded in reaching these smaller employers in the East Midlands and London.
11. In some instances, the project offered WLAs small one-off grants to seed-fund learning activities. This appears to have helped WLAs initiate activity without engendering dependency or weakening local ownership.
12. Steps toward a support system for WLAs include
- Work with unionlearn and Community Learning Champions to validate the role and share resources
- Development of a branded website to communicate the role
- Development of training programmes to promote recruit to the role
- Trialling of networking, including newsletters, personal email and telephone support
13. Training appears to be a valuable promotional tool for the WLA role and helps to recruit WLAs. WLAs value training in information and advice skills because it equips them with key knowledge and skills and also because it builds their confidence, a motivating factor for many of those attracted to the role.
14. WLAs benefit significantly from active participation in peer networks. These networks can function as a powerful vehicle for peer learning, enabling WLAs to construct a community of practice and a shared sense of role-identity. They also help make the role and its resources visible to other interested parties (e.g. learning providers). These networks are usefully supported by the project's national website (promoting the brand, informing employers and resourcing WLAs).
15. Active participation in peer networks requires employer support. With employer support, peer networks can be self-managing and self-sustaining.
16. On the evidence to date, a workplace development approach that integrates training with strategic and peer networking offers the most effective approach to establishing the WLA role.
17. This approach would require a support infrastructure to
- Manage the brand and assure quality
- Administer any revenue (e.g. employer subscriptions) / funding (e.g. seed-funding)
- Support training and research, including conferences, seminars
- Develop and disseminate resources, including website and social media
- Assure strategic synergy with other business intermediary and learning and skills infrastructure organisations
The project has made headway in developing aspects of this infrastructure.

The reason: The difference in point production between the top defenses and mid-level defenses over a full season of play doesn't justify an early or even mid-round draft pick. For example, here were the top defenses, and their overall point totals, in ESPN 10-team standard leagues in 2007:

Can you feel the heat ? While I was in Brazil, I stayed at my mom's house but decided to spend few days in an other city called "Porto de Galinhas". I stayed at the Best Western Viva Plus Porto de Galinhas. It's a gorgeous and big hotel by the beach. It's such a wonderful place like a tropical paradise that I recommend it to you. I was wearing this Pinko dress the day of my arrival with golden sandals and hat but of course I had a bikini underneath because I just wanted to run into the sea ! Have you guys noticed the bunch of coconuts ? In Brazil you can find it everywhere and it's so easy to drink fresh coconut water... I love it !
DRESS : Pinko (find similar here)
HAT : Zara (similar here)
BAG: Louis Vuitton (find preowned luxury bags here)
SANDALS : Bought them in St-Tropez

Can we talk Alexi Lallas and how much of a twat the man is? Between him and Taylor Twellman they could be the 2 most annoying "pundits" I've had the misfortune of having to hear speak about the game.
This isn't just about his utterly stupid comments today.
But we'll use today.
He is so arrogant and conceded for the "big" teams.
Bellerin literally gets hit in the arm with the ball in the box. Arm down at his side, 3ft away from Alaba. Alexi decides "The ref missed that call we see it called all time"
No...No we don't every weekend you see balls that HIT THE HAND in the box that aren't called because there was 0 attempt to intentionally hit it with their hand. But he makes these comments when he's frustrated at the current results of the game. He put Arsenal down for dead and now that they've drawn level at half he's Saying the Pen shouldn't been called on Lewa and the Handball should have been called.
He does this all the time with games. It's utterlly annoying. He ignores the fact that the Head of UEFAs ref's comes out and says "It was a good call he made no attempt at using his hand, and it just hit him so good call" And Lewa irregardless of knowing Kos was there or not straight up kicked him. You don't get a pass because it was a mistake.
Twellman is no better, but he's more of homer towards MLS players and disliking Dual Nationals so I have to deal with him anytime the US plays.

Newell Open Space Preserve
Fifteen years in the making, Newell Open Space Preserve opened during the Summer of 2014. The land, 620 acres, was donated by Jack and Bernice Newell to the City of American Canyon in 1999. We found the park staring at Google maps, looking for a place we haven't already hiked. And boy were we glad we did!
Though an "informal" parking area exists along Newell Drive, it appeared to be under construction during our visit. Unable to park there, we decided to park in the subdivision. We didn't see any signs prohibiting parking and made sure to be as quiet and respectful as possible to the residents.
The Creekside Trail passes through a panhandle then veers East becoming the Valley Trail. After a little over a mile, these terminate at a picnic area. A porta-potty and a few picnic tables were available, but there's no drinking water anywhere in the park.
The Loop Trail starts where the Valley Trail ends. You can choose to stay entirely within the boundaries of Newell by completing the loop, then following the Valley and Creekside Trails back to your car for an approximately 5-mile hike.
Lynch Canyon Open Space Park
We decided to follow the Southeast Loop Trail and cross into neighboring Lynch Canyon Open Space Park. This 1,039-acre preserve is operated by the Solano Land Trust and has 10 miles of multi-use trail, including a section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. The park is only open Friday through Monday, 9am to 5pm, so plan accordingly.
From the parking area, it's an 800-foot climb up to the Prairie Ridge, topping out at about 930 feet, with sweeping vistas of the surrounding lands. This is followed by a steep 300-foot descent to the South Valley Trail.
There's little shade here, but you will get great views of rolling hills, hiding the busy I-80 from view.
After a quick snack break and pit stop (pit toilets available) at the Lynch Canyon Staging Area, we took a round-about way to get to the Lynch Reservoir.
The most direct rout to this scenic body of water is Lynch Road, but we decided to see more of the park and take the Middle Valley and Tower Trail to get there.
The North Ridge and Saddle Trails took us back to Prairie Ridge Trail. Unfortunately, the views ended for us somewhere on the North Ridge as the fog crept in on us. Fortunately, the fog gave the landscape an enchanted appearance and kept us cool.
Descending back into Newell OSP, we completed the park's loop along the North Loop Trail and headed out the way we came, barely escaping an "incident". Trying not to disturb the nightlife, we kept our headlamps off and barely managed to notice a skunk hanging out by the roadside. Luckily, he ran off without giving us an unforgettable warning.
Whether you're trail running, hiking, mountain biking, or want a nice place for a picnic, Newell OSP and Lynch Canyon OSP can provide exactly what you need. As always, remember to leave only footprints and take only pictures.

Ministerial Vacancy
Ministerial Vacancy
Dormansland Baptist is a church that punches well above its weight in terms of enthusiasm and community involvement; and Dormansland itself is not your average sleepy country village. The centre of London is only 50 minutes away by train, and Croydon is only 30 minutes away. There are plenty of local schools, and therefore the village attracts many commuters with young families who mix happily with its older residents.
Our fellowship is loving and lively, and a good number of the congregation contribute their gifts in one way or another for the benefit of all.
We believe in a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus which can grow and deepen through worship, fellowship, prayer and the study of God's word. We enjoy meeting together, and church members' meetings are well attended. Our style of worship is contemporary (Kendrick to Hillsong!) but we do not neglect the best of the traditional hymns.
Over recent years a substantial 'fringe' to the church has been built up, mainly through the work of our large Urban Saints group and Noah's Ark, our very popular toddler group. We would love to see these families drawn into the kingdom of God, and our main focus currently is on providing outside-friendly services and activities to facilitate this process.
We are looking for a minister who would relate easily to the un-churched as well as to our existing congregation: someone who would be willing to grasp the baton and run this particular race alongside us.
We seek a like-minded minister who will grasp the baton and run with us as we journey on this adventure together.
For overseas candidates - At this time, the diaconate at DBC has decided that we are not going to actively pursue any applicants who are currently based overseas. We feel that the distance would not give us a good enough opportunity to investigate whether God is calling an applicant from outside of the UK and therefore we would be wasting people's time by taking things further.

After a long period of absence, it is time to share a new tweak with you. Enjoy.
Literature research has become very easy during the last decade: using databases of scientific journals you barely have to leave your office searching for some particular information. However it is not as comfortable as it could be.
I'm a happy user of the digital object identifier (DOI) which links published documents with a unique identifier-string. The publishers website for the requested document can then be found easily by resolving the DOI on http://dx.doi.org.
About including the DOI-link in you biblatex bibliographies to provide an easy access to your references, I've written some time ago. Now I want to share some script to include the DOI link on the website of the popular scientific search engine worldofknowledge.com. Unfortunately they are providing the DOI in they article summaries, but do not link with dx.doi.org, so you have to copy and paste it there manually to access the article. Crap! With a simple greasemonkey userscript you can drop that an have the link directly added to your locally shown webofknowledge website. Here's the code:
// ==UserScript== // @name DOI links for webofknowledge.com // @namespace Henning Hollermann // @description DOI links for webofknowledge.com // @include *.webofknowledge.com/full_record.do* // @icon https://images.webofknowledge.com/WOKRS5132R4.2/images/trlogo.png // @version 1.0 // @grant none // ==/UserScript== /* This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

We Got The Beets!
This past Saturday I visited the farmer's market on Fillmore Street. With a re-do of the last project, I was excited to go to a farmer's market with plenty of options this time. But! For some reason I seem to have the worst farmer's market luck. It was a dreary day, a little rainy and very gray, and there was only one fruit and vegetable table set up. Then I spotted the most colorful of them all…BEETS. They look like little purple aliens.
How pretty are these guys?!
The beets were grown on a farm in Hollister. Unfortunately, the only vendor that was at the farmer's market was not terribly friendly, so it was hard to strike up a conversation about the actual farm. I ended up buying a bunch of beets (four all together), treated myself to a latte and then headed over to my friend Elizabeth's house where we decided to immediately begin beet-making.
Elizabeth looking up the beet recipe, found here: http://kirantarun.com/food/2012/01/31/roasted-beet-salad/
We ended up finding this recipe on the internet. We left out the mint leaves because we didn't have any, but they would probably make an awesome addition to the recipe.
You will need:
3-4 medium beets
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ table spoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon course sea salt
Preheat your oven to 345 degrees. Line a baking sheet with foil.
Remove the stalks and roots from the beets, but leave the skin, so that they look like this:
The beets, all cut up and ready to be roasted.
Rub the beets under cold running water to remove the dirt (there will be a lot of dirt coming off, so don't skip this step!)
Pat dry the beets, put on the foil, drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt. Wrap the beets in foil (this step is important, make sure they're fully covered). The directions from the recipe we got say the beets take 30-45 minutes. Our beets ended up taking around an hour. You want to make sure a knife can easily slide through the whole beet. When they're done, let them cool, peel them, cut them however you like (we slices them), and then drizzle more olive oil, spritz a lil' lemon on them, and toss a lil' salt on them. Liz and I did this individually, based on preference. You can also sprinkle a lil' feta on them.
Liz and I had an awesome time making beets, hangin' out, and beet-boppin' around her kitchen, anxiously checking the beets over and over. In the end, I learned that beets make an excellent pre-dinner time snack! They are healthy, delicious, and flavorful. However, next time I make beets I plan on boiling them, simply because roasting them took such a long time. Also, be prepared to have the super pigmented beet-juice all over your hands.
The final product- the most esculent beets I have had! YUM

Learn how to build wealth surely today. A step by step guide in creating wealth and tips on how to stay wealthy.
Want to know how to build wealth? It takes time to build wealth. Most rich people accumulate wealth for about a decade or two. Smart people know how to increase their income and slowly creating huge wealth by not buying the things they don't really need. Some people are curious why they aren't wealthy. They work hard and ask their selves why despite of working hard they remain poor. Follow the step by step guide on how to build wealth today. After you read this guide that consist 2,008 words, take action. See on the last section of this page the effects of "not taking action".
Of course you have to know first what you really want in life. Knowing what you really want is the first steps to become rich. In this guide on how to become wealthy, there is a particular step that will help you know what you really want.
How to Build Wealth 13 Effective Steps
I hope you will like this semi-detailed post with pictures. I know this is effective because I observe wealthy people have in common. This is what we are going to talk about right now. How rich people become wealthy and how can you build your own wealth, too.
A. Building Wealth Will Start by Setting Plans and Goals
Step1. Write a Written Plan
Start writing your plan in a piece of paper or in your favorite notebook. You can also use your computer and type and print your plan and goals. In your written plan, specify how much money you really need to consider yourself wealthy. Write the specific amount and indicate when should you acquire that amount.
Step 2. Put Your Written Plan in the Wall
Put your written plan and goals in the wall or any part of your house. Make it always visible to your eyes. Your written plan and goals will remind you that you have to do something to make it happen. This will serve as a great reminder.
Step 3. Create a Dream Board to Attract Wealth
Manifesting wealth is easy. Create a dream board. How to create a dream board? Get an illustration board. Cut pictures on the magazines or news paper or print any pictures from the internet. Find pictures related to your dream. Do you dream to have a luxury car? A mansion? A luxurious lifestyle? A financial freedom? A successful business? Put them all in your dream board.
If you will create a dream board, that means you are manifesting wealth. If you don't know what you really want, you can't create a dream board. And if you don't know what you really want, you will never become wealthy. So, manifest and attract wealth now!
Step 4. Tell Your Friends or Loved Ones that You Want to Become Wealthy
You have to tell your friends and loved ones about your plans. The reasons why you have to tell them is because they might be the instruments to help you get rich like giving you courage, helping you financially like lending you some business capitals and they can give you a proper advice.
B. Build Wealth by Asking for Proper Advice
Step 5. Be Educated, Ask Wealthy People
Find someone who is already wealthy. Don't ask for advice to any person. Talk to the right person and you will get the right advice. As the old saying goes, "if you want to know how to climb Mt. Everest, ask a person who's been there before". They know the roads and what to do when you're in the middle of the journey and what to do when you reach the top of the mountain.
Learn and grow by attending seminars. Educate yourself about financial education, investing and businesses. Wealthy people continue learning and growing. Don't say you know everything. You don't know everything. The evidence of that statement is your financial situation today. If you are willing to know everything, you will get rewarded for it later. Take time to educate yourself.
Step 6. Find a Role Model (Wealthy Individual)
If you want to get wealthy, do what wealthy people do. How to know what wealthy people are doing? By making someone (wealthy) a good role model. Analyze and observe how did he spend his time everyday. Do you know a friend who is already wealthy? Your neighbor? Be friend with him or her. The idea is to have a guide. His mindset, his behavior and attitude should be your guide. I know you already read the book of Robert T. Kiyosaki "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Who's the good role model? The educated man but poor dad or the rich dad?
C. Build Wealth through Smart Work or Hard Work
Step 7. Increase Your Income
If you want to get wealthy, you need to have different source of income. But beware of this tip. I know a lot of people who became so wealthy by only focusing on one thing. You better find out how to increase your income. There are many ways to increase your income. This can be done through;
Jobs promotion – ask for a salary raise.
Home based business – sell something to your neighbors.
Earn money on the internet – be a virtual assistant, website developer, a freelancer.
The reasons why I want you to become beware of this tips is because it is proven that wealthy people are "focused" individual. They don't stop trying to make things work. What do you think about McDonald's owner? Did he stop trying? No. Did he change his niche or product? No. He just become so "focused" and along the way, the owner proves what's working and what's not. As a bonus tip, focus only on one thing at a time. When you become successful in one thing, try another thing (business) until you acquire more wealth.
Let's say you want to become wealthy through investing in stocks. Focus yourself in investing in stocks until you become a successful stock market investor. If you want to build wealth real estate, then focus on "real estate". The idea is "focus on one thing at a time".
D. Build Wealth through Proper Wealth Management
Step 8. Manage Your Income
Getting wealthy is not a matter of chance. You have to know how to manage every money you earned. When you received your income (net pay from your salary), or extra income, you need to manage it properly.
Start by budgeting, careful spending and generous giving. The best way to manage money is to divide your income; 20% savings, 50% necessities and 30% for other things. It would be effective if you will "pay yourself first". What does pay yourself first mean? You need to save money before you spend money. In the other word, don't save money on what is left after spending.
The biggest percentage you can put your savings, the early you become wealthy. Here are some of the examples;
Savings (Retirement Funds, Investment Funds): 20%
Necessities (Food, Electricity, Education, Shelter, etc.): 70%
Other (Giving, Donations, Leisure, Etc.): 10%
Savings (Retirement Funds, Investment Funds): 40%
Necessities (Food, Electricity, Education, Shelter, etc.): 50%
Other (Giving, Donations, Leisure, Etc.): 10%
Savings (Retirement Funds, Investment Funds): 50%
Necessities (Food, Electricity, Education, Shelter, etc.): 45%
Other (Giving, Donations, Leisure, Etc.): 5%
Hints: Rich people know how to earn money, handle money and manage money properly. Poor people just know how to earn but they don't know how to manage their earnings.
E. Build Wealth by Investing Money
Step 9. Buy Income Generating Assets
There are many types of investments you can try. Investments are also called "income generating assets". The idea is to "spend money to make money". You can invest money in paper assets like stocks, mutual funds, bonds or certificate of deposits. You can also build your own business or buy a real estate property. Those investments can help you make more money.
If you will keep on spending money on the things that depreciate value, you will never become wealthy. Start buying things that appreciate value such as stocks, mutual fund shares, bonds, and real estate property.
Step 10. Allocate Your Assets
What does "asset allocation" mean? Asset allocation is the way on how you should distribute your assets according to your age and risk tolerance. Wealthy people take advantage of "high risks types of investments", that's why they become so wealthy. However, they don't just take high risks, they analyze and manage risks as well.
I have several articles about asset allocation. If your age is 20, 30, 40, 55 or even 60, you better carefully put your money in different types of investments. That process is called "diversification". I know you are familiar with this famous line; "Do not put all your eggs in one basket".
Step 11.Take Advantage of Leveraging
If you want to build wealth fast, use leveraging. Leveraging is the process of using other peoples' money and other peoples' time to make money. If you want to make big things done, hire people. If you have no business capital and want to start your own business, borrow money in the bank. Many wealthy people know how to leverage.
F. Build Wealth through Compound Interest Effect
Step 12. Take Advantage of Compound Interest
Compound interest is your financial ally. Compound interest can help you accumulate wealth faster. How do compound interest work? Simple, just reinvest the profits to gain more profits. Say for example, if you have $100,000 that earns 10% per year, that means you are earning $10,000 per year. If you will add your profit ($10,000) to your capital ($100,000), you will have a total of $110,000 the following year. The idea is simple. Instead of making just $10,000 per year, why not earn $10,100 and even more. See the difference?
G. How to Build Wealth? Just Work for It
Step 13. Take Action Immediately
Don't just dream. Dream big. Don't just dream big. Make your dream a reality. Take action now. Wake up. Do the necessary things. Make everything in order. Do not procrastinate. Do not delay your investments.
Most people become wealthy because they didn't waste their time. They grab every opportunity. This doesn't mean you have to spend 23.5 hours a day just to become wealthy. You need to spend your time wisely. Be productive.
Tips and Warnings
I have read topics on how to build wealth. Some are on books, magazines, blogs like InvestmentTotal.com and forums. I also heard this topic in seminars. One thing I can say, building wealth is easy. But, staying wealthy is difficult.
Don't forget to create your dream board. It sounds "weird", but it's effective. Dream board can help you focus on what you want (to become wealthy). It serves as a great reminder that you have to do something. Dream board can help you analyze yourself whether you are just wasting your time or not. If one of the things you put in your dream board became real, that means you are not wasting your time.
One important tip I can share is; you should know how to become patient. Practice patience. Be warned that there are many "get rich quick schemes" nowadays bombarding the internet, classified ads and even TV commercials. Be smart enough to spot the financial investment scam. Prefer to get rich slowly but surely. If you find a formula on how to get rich fast and surely, tell me. I will thank you for that.
It is true that millions are started from cents. What are you doing with your coins? Did you manage them? Did you treat them as "money" or "nothing"? According to T. Harv Eker in his "secrets of the millionaire mind" book, he stated that "you won't get more until you show how to handle less". Managing your money is the secret.
Celebrate in every achievement you made. If you earned your first millions, celebrate and be grateful. You have to be grateful everyday if you want to attract wealth. Be grateful to your income, to your investments, to your knowledge. Always thank God because He still gave you the chance to live life.
When you did it, stay simple and humble. Practice humility. The richest men in the world are simple. Take a look at Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. They don't even become boastful and say "I am rich because I am genius". They give wealth to society through their foundations or charity. The lesson is simple, what is your plan when you become rich? Will you give money to needy or will you become greedy? Since you are so wealthy, will you support the companies that are destroying the environment? If that happens, you are not familiar with "socially responsible investing".
It is important that you should not only know how to build wealth, accumulate it through investing. The most important thing is how to make sure that you will remain wealthy when you get there. As I have said awhile ago, asking proper advice to the right person is important. Don't just climb Mt. Everest, find out what to do when you reached the top. If you find this guide on how to build wealth useful, share it with your friends.

Robert Frank
The Robert Frank gas-fired power plant is located in Landesbergen in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Ownership: 100 %
Production: -
Power: 510 MW
In 1962, Robert Frank was the first large power station based on natural gas in Germany. The combined cycle power plant was commissioned in 1973 and has a generating capacity of approximately 510 MW.
Statkraft took over the power plant Robert Frank from E.ON Energie at the beginning of 2009.
In order to achieve higher efficiency the plant operates by combining gas and steam turbines. Exhaust produced by burning gas in combination with compressed air turns the gas turbine. The remaining heat of approximately 420 °C in the gas turbine exhaust is used to generate steam which drives a steam turbine.
In this way two power sources drive the generator which ultimately produces electricity. The combined plant has a net efficiency of 43 per cent.
