Prototyping and Unit Testing with Mockjax & mockJSON
About the Talk
April 16, 2011 1:15 PM
Microsoft, Mt. View, CaliforniaMicrosoft, Mt. View, California
The front-end and back-end of your application inevitably progress at different speeds. In order for each layer to develop independently it is optimal if the front-end piece can work regardless of the back-end, which is where the Mockjax plugin comes in. Mockjax can intercept and simulate ajax requests made with jQuery with minimal effort and impact to your code. Another tool that works well with Mockjax is mockJSON which provides a random data templating feature. This can be very handy when you want to mock a JSON response from a AJAX call, but instead of manually building the response you can build a template to do it for you.
As you are developing, Mockjax can also be used to help Unit Test your front-end code. You can setup a static mock responses to your requests and then Unit Test your Ajax success and fail event handlers.

INDICATOR: June Employment Report
KEY DATA: Payrolls: +224,000; Private: 191,000; Health Care: +35,000; Manufacturing: +17,000; Unemployment Rate: 3.7% (up 0.1 percentage point); Wages: +0.2%; Over-Year: +3.1%
IN A NUTSHELL: "When you smooth out the wild swings in job gains, it is clear the economy and the labor markets remain solid."
WHAT IT MEANS: It looks like there is lots of noise not just on Twitter. The economic data continue to show lots of volatility as well. After a truly weak May employment report, questions were being raised about the strength of the economy. Never mind. Conditions are just fine. Job growth was strong in June and the increase was across the board. The health care and professional services were the key drivers of the job gains. Despite all the trade problems, manufacturers added lots of workers, a real surprise. But the wild card in this report was government, which added workers heavily after having reduced payrolls in May. Look for that to unwind in July. Similarly, there was a sharp increase in construction, a sector that was largely flat the previous two months.
As for the unemployment rate, it rose modestly. The strong labor market is drawing in more workers and the labor force was up as was the participation rate, so don't read anything into the increase. The one major concern in this report was wages. Despite the low unemployment rate, wage gains continue to decelerate. I seem to write that every month, as this is a trend that has been with us since the increase over the year peaked in February. And, as I like to point out, without strong income increases, it is hard to sustain solid consumer spending.
MARKETS AND FED POLICY IMPLICATIONS: This was a solid report that creates issues for both the Fed and investors. For the Fed, the members now need to have some weak economic numbers to honestly argue that the economy needs help. I have warned countless times that you cannot read much into any one economic number. But apparently, Fed Chair Powell doesn't agree. Too bad, since we are seeing just how volatile the data can be. All this talk about the need to cut rates to help the economy simply got no support in June. Job growth was solid and while vehicle sales may have been down a bit from the robust May pace, they were still very solid. The consumer has not abandoned hope. There are a lot of reports that will come out before the next FOMC meeting at the end of the month, but the big one will likely be second quarter GDP. It could be the weakest in three years. But that would not necessarily mean the economy is falling apart enough for the Fed to actually start cutting rates. We often get a number well above or below the underlying trend and this is likely to be the case. It has to do with the volatility of the data. But Mr. Powell needs a soft growth rate to make the excuse to cut rates, since he seems to be operating on a "what have you done for me lately" approach. The Fed seems to be operating in an economic intelligence vacuum. We have a Fed Chair that wobbles with every economic number. We have a Fed bank president who wants to take out some insurance by cutting rates a quarter point, which would do absolutely nothing to the economy. We have a whole group of members who change their view of conditions between every meeting. And we have investors, who root for weak numbers so the Fed will cut rates, rather than hope for strong numbers that show growth remains solid. Indeed, there seems to be a perverse view that good is bad and bad is good. Strong data raises questions about Fed cuts while weak ones confirm the beliefs that a reduction is coming. Really? Is it better to have a soft economy and rate cuts than a strong economy and no rate cuts? That makes no sense to me, as implies the Fed can fine-tune the economy. The only thing a rate cut would do is sustain the Fed's role as drug supplier to the equity markets. But since it appears that Fed Chair Powell likes being a pusher and investors like being junkies, I suspect both roles will be sustained at the end of the month.

Minding the Gap
⋆⋆⋆⋆ out of four stars
7:05 p.m. Fri., 4:35 p.m. Sat., St. Anthony Main, 115 SE. Main St., Mpls. (U.S.)
Just outside Chicago, skateboarding friends Zack, Keire and Bing share personal stories through hours of video (shot by Bing). As their bond grows weaker, their lives change in complex, drastic and life-affirming ways, leaving each searching for answers through commitments and responsibilities with unexpected results. Shot over eight years, Bing Liu's astonishing and heartbreaking debut documentary unfolds as a powerful saga of self-discovery, uncompromising dreams and finding a path toward survival and true happiness. (98 min.)
A Moment in the Reeds
7 p.m. Fri., 4 p.m. Sat., St. Anthony Main (Finland/U.K.)
College student Leevi returns to Helsinki to help his father renovate the family lake home. Another man, Tareq, is called in to help, though Leevi's father is unsure of him because he doesn't speak Finnish. When the father leaves for a few days, the two men have long conversations about life and their future, and strike up a romantic connection. First-time writer/director Mikko Makela doesn't reinvent the wheel on brief encounters or first romances, but gets passionate performances from his actors, and the Finnish countryside is stunning.

The Rider
7 p.m. Sat., St. Anthony Main (U.S.)
It's no surprise that Chloe Zhao's warm drama — the festival's closing-night film — took the top director's prize in Cannes. Her lyrical look at Lakota life in modern cowboy country, shot entirely on location within South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation, plunges you into a world of real people. The title character is a young rodeo star (played by real riding competitor Brady Jandreau) grappling with his future after a bucking horse badly damages his skull and right hand. A second concussion could be fatal. His never-say-die commitment to the sport moves his father to growl "Go ahead, kill yourself." Yet he has few options beyond menial work at the local grocery and leaving his beloved horses would be almost sacrilegious. There is an understated suspense in whether he can parlay the bad hand that fate has dealt him into a meaningful victory. The usual dramatic devices of feature-film storytelling are substantially ignored here. They're unnecessary. In this simple, handsomely shot, well constructed story, fiction never seems to take over. Zhao, a U.S.-based Chinese filmmaker, does more than draw sublime performances from her nonprofessional cast. She illuminates the divides of American life with a perspective rich in realism, naturalism and earthy poetry. (103 min.)

Stefano Mangini, an Italian businessman based in Hong Kong who is definitely in love with bikes as a few years ago he decided to ride back home using his motorcycle and he travelled all his way from Shanghai, in China, to Genoa, in Italy, knows well that motorcycle top-cases are not very convenient for people travelling by plane or even for those who have heavy stuff to move around.
To solve this problem, he has developed a new case that can be used as a wheeled travel trolley. Stefano Mangini's Wheelrider is both a motorcycle top-case and a wheeled travel-case that meets the airlines hand-carry measurements requirement. Made with light carbon-base impact-resistant materials, female bikers in particular are expected to love Wheelrider as it is eventually bringing colours, style and beauty to the dull and ugly selection of motorcycle top cases. Beyond being waterproof and equipped with latest generation security keys, this innovative case has an interchangeable top for you to chose the size of your case in different situations. Finally, its base, that attaches to the rack of the motorcycle, can host additional accessories, such as a pouch containing an helmet and a seat covers.
Stefano Mangini's team have been working on this project for about 2 years, and they are now ready to launch it. According to the Italian biker, "Wheelrider was born with a broader idea to create a system to allow to top-case and other type of bags to attach and detach rapidly from a motorcycle. The base further developed with a system to attach to its back additional small pouches to serve different needs related to the motorcycle. In my vision, once this first step is done, more products can be developed with the same system allowing you to attach them to the same base effortlessly". While waiting for what he will develop next, bikers will definitely enjoy his new creation.

Sofiane Boufal has received some good news after picking up a curious ankle injury last week.
The attacker is spending the current season on loan with Celta Vigo and Southampton will be watching very closely to hope he does well at the Spanish club.
A good campaign in La Liga may present the chance for Boufal to have another go at building a successful Saints career, and even if that's a long shot, it would certainly help his value in the transfer market.
Celta Vigo released a statement last week saying Boufal had a 'posterior tibialis tenosynovitis'.
Saint Luke's medical resource explains that: 'The posterior tibialis tendon runs along the inside of the foot. It connects the calf muscle (posterior tibialis muscle) to bones on the inside of the foot. It helps maintain the arch of the foot. It also gives you stability when you move. Posterior tibialis tenosynovitis is when this tendon becomes inflamed or torn.'
Now, the club's local newspaper, La Voz de Galicia, reports he's already been medically discharged. Boufal trained normally on Sunday and is fit enough to be in Celta Vigo's squad for Monday's match against Getafe.
Southampton will be crossing their fingers to hope the issue doesn't crop up again.

The squat snatches I had some help with and they still have a minute before I see improvement but my snatches for the wod. I added 10 lbs to what I normally would do, I did 45 instead of 35. Not a great improvement but I was happy with it and I was able to do them and feel like I was doing them right for the whole WOD! It did take me 12:45 to finish, I was the last again. But I don't care. I finished and did more weight. And felt good with them for the first time ever. So overall I would call that WOD a success! Now hoping today's goes good to! Here it is!

Learn about the new policy
Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
225 E. Chicago Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60611
Research at Lurie Children's is conducted through Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute. We focus on improving child health, transforming pediatric medicine and ensuring healthier futures.
Learn More
Stanley Manne Children's Research Institute has moved onto the campus of its medical partners creating the promise of greater impact for pediatric research
The nursing care model at Lurie Children's includes nearly 300 Advanced Practice Registered Nurses who serve in roles as nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists and certified nurse anesthetists. These advanced practice nurses are available to provide precepted experiences for graduate students once they have been in their position at the hospital for one year.
Graduate faculty or students seeking clinical practicum placements with APRNs are required to start their inquiry with Joanne Orozco, Workforce Development Consultant in Clinical & Organizational Development who will then route the request to the appropriate APP Leader for approval. The APP Leadership team will recommend APRN preceptors and assist with the placement of graduate students. The clinical practicum hours may not exceed 60 hours/week.
Once the practicum has been confirmed, the coordinating graduate faculty member is responsible for informing Joanne Orozco (firstname.lastname@example.com) of the specifics related to this practicum placement so that on-boarding of the student can go smoothly and so that there is a central record of the practicum rotation. We currently have affiliation agreements for advanced nursing practicums with multiple local nursing schools within the Chicagoland area, as well as nationally. If we do not have a current affiliation agreement with your school, we will need to create a one-time affiliation agreement contract for each practicum student. Please allow 4-6 weeks for this process to be completed.
Graduate nursing students seeking clinical practica must hold an Illinois RN license at the time of the practicum, show validation of current completion of an AHA Basic Life Support Provider Course, compliance with hospital immunization requirements and evidence of malpractice insurance. To prepare for charting and order entry, graduate students will be required to complete on–line EPIC education through our WeLearn web-based learning system. Students will receive an email from Joanne Orozco or the E-Learning Manger notifying them that their courses are available.
Lurie Children's utilizes My Clinical Exchange, an online software platform to centralize and streamline all nursing practicum requests and student compliance documents. All schools and nursing students who participate in a practicum at Lurie Children's will be required to use this system. Assistance is provided in ensuring this process is an easy one for schools and students. The school will be responsible for attesting within the system that the student has all the required immunizations. Students will be required to use the MyClinicalExchange system for completing all required compliance documents.
** If school does not have a current affiliation agreement with Lurie Children's, then initial request should be placed via email to Joanne Orozco (email@example.com) as non-affiliated schools will not have access to MyClinicalExchange until an agreement has been made.
** Any questions about graduate student practicum placements should be directed to Joanne Orozco (firstname.lastname@example.com) or 312.227.0087.

January 15
13:15 2015
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has dismissed two of its officers for alleged theft and burglary of permanent voter cards (PVCs) at its Patani local government area office in Delta state.
The dismissed officers are Collins Omofoma (SGL 09 Officer) and Onome Avbunudiogba (SGL 07 Officer).
Also, the commission has terminated the appointment of Obi Chinwoke Ugochi, an administrative officer II (SGL 08), for alleged absence from duty without leave. Ugochi is of the commission's Anambra state office.
According to two decision extracts dated January 8, 2015, and signed by Ishiaku A Gali, the director (commission's secretariat), the dismissal and termination of the three staff followed the commission's meeting on January 8,2015.
Speaking with TheCable, Nick Dazang, head, media and publicity of INEC, said the sacking of the staff followed a thorough process and it was a signal to the public on the determination of the commission to conduct free and fair elections next month."When something like that happens, it will go through a process," he said.
"A disciplinary committee will be set up. And certainly If it is burglary, they must have been caught by security officers in the office. Then it will go through the state commission to the headquarters. It is a very thorough process.
"The idea of putting it in the public domain is to send a signal to our staff and stakeholders that if you do not behave well, you will be dealt with. It is also to show Nigerians how serious we are about PVCS and even if our staff misbehave, we will not hesitate to sack them."
The subject of PVCs continue to dominate the headlines ahead of the election.
On January 7, the Department of State Security (DSS) accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of cloning PVCs with intent to hack into INEC database, corrupt it and replace it with the party's data.
APC, though, denied the accusation, branding a hogwash and saying the move was "disingenuous, flimsy, premeditated, partisan and irritating".

When it's too hot here in Texas to use the oven for very long, I turn to baking some breads on a griddle. An electric fry pan or griddle that allows you to set the temperature works best for these.
We can griddle-bake English muffins superior in quality and flavor to the store-bought and save quite a bit of money with very little work. I figure these homemade English muffins cost about 10 cents each, using best-quality flour. Making up your own breakfast sandwiches will be an even greater saving.
Toast English muffins for breakfast with your homemade jam and use them to make breakfast, lunch, or even supper sandwiches with bacon, ham or sausage, egg and cheese. Use muffins under creamed chicken a la king. When English muffins are this quick and inexpensive to make, you'll come up with more ideas.
Special Equipment
You can make English muffins without any special equipment, freeform in a stovetop skillet, but an electric fry pan or griddle and muffin rings will give you a traditional finished look. I have just 4 rings and that's fine — they bake so quickly it's all done in less than a half hour. You can order rings from King Arthur or Amazon or even make your own, cutting 1 inch slices from a can of the appropriate size, about 3 ½ inches in diameter. Be careful, though, of sharp edges.
I use my stand mixer with the dough hook. Even though the dough is wet, it still needs a lot of mixing. I mix up the starter, pull a plastic bag over the bowl and then continue on in the morning. Less work, less fuss, less cleanup.
Homemade English Muffins Recipe
Yields 8 to 10 muffins
Ingredients for the starter:
• 6 ounces (1 ½ cups) all purpose flour
• pinch of instant yeast
• 6 ounces (¾ cup) water
Starter directions:
Stir the starter ingredients together to make a smooth batter. Cover the bowl and set it on the counter to develop for at least 4 hours, better overnight.
Ingredients for the dough:
• 7 ½ ounces all purpose flour (not quite 1 ¾ cups). Use part white or traditional whole wheat if you like.
• 1 tsp instant yeast
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• 2 Tbsp non-diastatic malt powder (or cane sugar)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 6 ounces (¾ cup) warm whole milk (baby bottle warm)
• a little soft butter
• Optional: a little cornmeal if your griddle is not non-stick
Dough directions:
1. In the mixer bowl, put all the dry ingredients and give them a quick stir. Add the warm milk, turn the mixer to "stir" until the dough comes together, then continue on #4 setting for another 5 minutes. Scrape the beater, cover the bowl, and set it aside on the counter for at least an hour, until it's doubled in volume and quite puffy.
2. Set up your griddle and heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. With a pastry brush and a bit of soft butter, lightly grease your muffin rings. Set the rings on the griddle and, if your griddle is not non-stick, put a pinch of cornmeal in each.
3. Now, fill the muffin rings about 2/3 full. You can use an ice cream scoop or just a big spoon. Keep a small bowl of water next to the batter and dip your scoop, then drop the batter into the ring. Be sure to wet the scoop each time so the batter doesn't stick to it.
4. Bake the muffins for about 10 minutes until they begin to look dry on top. Peek to see if it's browned. Flip the muffins over with a turner and then ease off the ring with small tongs or just the edge of the turner. You can now refill that ring and continue baking.
5. As the second side of the muffin browns nicely, press lightly with a finger; if it pops right back, the muffin is done. Remove the muffins as they are ready to a wire rack and cool completely. The muffins are better on the second day, so let them rest in a plastic bag to "mature".
6. The next day, use a fork to split the muffins. If you won't use all the muffins right away, freeze them in a zipper bag.

"Beautiful skin begins with exceptional skin care, which requires commitment, not a miracle".
Svetlana M. Danovich MD, PhD, FACS
Winter is officially here which means freezing temperatures, harsh winds, and central heating – all things that unfortunately have a detrimental effect on a healthy, radiant complexion. It is a monumentally important task to hydrate and protect skin during this wintry time of the year. Here are SD winter skincare tips and must-have products to keep you glowing.
1. Hydration
This is the single best thing you can do for your face and body. You have to drink water to prevent the premature appearance of the fine lines and wrinkles because water not only plumps the skin but it encourages collagen production which ensures the cohesion, elasticity, and regeneration of the skin. It also helps to flush toxins out of the body that can improve scars and pore appearance by enhancing the essential glow of your complexion.
2. Face Wash
When it comes to taking off your makeup and cleaning your face, avoid skin wipes at all costs. Not only are most full of nasty chemicals, they're incredibly drying. Pick a kind face wash that'll calm your skin, gently get rid of dirt and won't leave your face with that horrible "stripped" feeling.
Here are some of my favorites.
Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cleanser for its gel-like formula that gently turns into a light foam. It cleans the skin and completely removes makeup (even waterproof) without you having to scrub your eyes or use boiling hot water.
La Mer's The Cleansing Foam is designed with sea algae fibers and white pearl powder, which gently purify and energize skin for a bright, healthy-looking complexion. The Miracle Broth™ infuses skin with precious nutrients, immersing it in moisture and energy.
3. Exfoliating
Exfoliating with 100% natural fine beads once or twice a week is the key to a brighter complexion to eliminate blackheads and dirt while absorbing excess oils and toxins.
I recommend you look into Neal's Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm. It can be used as a rich cleanser, gentle exfoliant or deeply nourishing balm - to quench areas of dry or dehydrated skin. It contains high levels of wild rosehip oil - a potent antioxidant proven to help repair, firm and smooth the skin - and is combined with geranium, starflower, hemp and rosemary seed oil, to help decongest and enrich the skin, restoring its natural radiance.
4. Serum
Think of a serum as more of a concentrated, lightweight moisturizer. By leaving out lubricants and thickening agents typically found in face creams, the active ingredients are able to penetrate the skin much faster.
Use your serum in conjunction with your moisturizer, on it's own, night, day or both.
Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate: This top-rated face serum is a customer favorite. It is formulated with ingredients like Lavender Essential Oil and Evening Primrose Oil to restore skinovernight. The distilled botanicals will improve firmness and elasticity for replenished, radiant skin.
5. Moisturizing
Winter skincare's saving grace, moisturizing is essential but it's crucial that you get the right one for your skin type.
My favorite moisturizers for dry skin are Chantecaille La Crème A La Rose De Ma, Crème de la Mer, Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream Ultra-Rich, Origin's Mega Mushroom Skin Relief or Nivea's Rich Moisturizing Day Cream.
6. SPF Protection
We cannot stress the importance of wearing SPF every day even if it's cloudy and raining. UV light is always present and will cause irreversible damage if it's not protected against.
SPF should always be the last step in your skincare routine and the first in your makeup. You must buy a product thatprotects against both UVA (long-wave rays) and UVB (short-ray waves) and go no lower than SPF30 in order to fully protect against burning, pigmentation change, dark spots and f premature aging.
7. Lip Balm
The Lip Balm by La Mer is something worth investing in. Thinner than any other area of the face, the lips are virtually defenseless against subtle changes in wind, temperature and dryness-requiring special attention. The Lip Balm is a luxurious and intensely reparative formula that works on contact to soften roughness, relieve discomfort and help rejuvenate seriously dry lips.
La Mer's The Lip Balm is used by Beauty Editors the world over to renew the delicate lip area while a patented Lip Lipid Complex delivers moisture and strengthens lips' moisture barrier to help prevent further damage. I'd also recommend something like By Terry Balm de Rose.
8. Night Oil
Night oil is a fantastic product. Your skin's nocturnal blood flow is much higher which means it's more susceptible to product and more likely to renew (plus it has 8 hours to work).
- For those with intensely dry skin go for Flora , which is a thick oil that nourishes fatigued skin and contains essence from five different roses, meaning it's incredibly soothing.
- For those with oily skin it may seem odd to recommend using a night oil but Sunday Riley's Artemis works to actively reduce problem areas. Weightless but luxurious, extracts of Black Cumin Seed Oil will boost immune cells that maintain healthy skin and Milk Thistle Seed Oil will encourage toxin-fighting enzymes to prevent break-outs.
- For those who are looking for an ultimate and luxurious skin glow with new vitality I recommend the Renewal Oil from La Mer. This dual-phase elixir blends Miracle Broth™ and sea-sourced actives, unleashing a wave of activity to infuse skin with youth. The look of emerging lines and wrinkles is softened and skin feels firmer. Miracle Broth™ helps energize skin's natural repair. Day by day, skin's natural barrier becomes more resilient and skin is hydrated.
9. Supplements
Taking supplements every day will really help you to maintain adequate levels of nutrition, especially during the colder seasons when your skin needs it.
I recommend Life Pack Nano. A proprietary innovation in anti-aging protection with advanced bioavailability and maximum benefits:
- Nourishes and protects cells, tissues, and organs in the body with the specific purpose to guard against the ravages of aging each day of your lifespan
- Superior bioavailability with CR-6 LipoNutrients™ enhances uptake from the gut into the bloodstream and body for maximum anti-aging benefits
- Advanced anti-aging formula helps protect the body with key nutrients such as NanoCoQ10™ and nano carotenoids
- Helps maintain normal inflammatory responses in the body
- Feeds and helps protect the brain with DHA and EPA (two CR-6 LipoNutrient™ soft gels contain the same amount of EPA and DHA as two MarineOmega soft gels)
- Offers superior DNA protection against damaging free radical attacks by providing the body with important antioxidants and phytonutrients such as alpha-lipoic acid and catechins
- Protects cell health with an antioxidant defense network
- Promotes healthy immune function
- Corrects nutritional deficiencies

My Love of Jaguars
Growing up, my father drove virtually every North American built sedan there was. I think the only car he didn't have was a Buick Park Avenue. Understandably, the big American sedans were my bread and butter. That was, until I attended my first Auto Show in 1983. It was at that time that I fell in love with everything that was European. I became obsessed with Saab, Audi, Porsche, BMW, Mercedes Benz, and others. All of those brands have remained on my list of favourites (except Saab), but one car company that I fell in and out of love with was Jaguar. I loved the early 80's Jags with their sleek design and opulence. But, then Jaguar lost the plot. I can't remember when it actually happened, but Jags were no longer cool to me. It might have been around the time Ford bought them and produced cars such as this. Well, I'm glad to say that my love affair with Jaguars has returned. In fact, I attended the Auto Show in March, and I have to say, the car that had the biggest impact on me was the Jaguar XF-RS. That thing is wild. I am actually looking forward to seeing the new C-X17 crossover in the flesh. If you are like me, and wrote off Jaguar, it might be time to check out the current line up, because things have improved exponentially over the past decade. Here's my Top 5 Jags, past and present:

Peter Drucker's Way To The Top:
Peter Drucker is an icon of the business world. The methods developed by this genius were so powerful that they are still used today in organizations all over the world. Yet one of his most important contributions is still little known. Drucker had uncovered principles of self-development that he put into practice himself - principles that enabled him to reach all of his life goals. For the first time, this book examines the self-development methods that Drucker created and practiced - and offers vital and original lessons to anyone in business on how to accomplish any goal in any endeavor. For as Drucker wrote: "The most crucial and vital resource you have as an executive and as a manager is yourself; your organization is not going to do better than you do yourself." Author: William A.

Humanity's Lucky Clover
Why do some states and societies thrive while others do not? What awaits us in the future? Is there a universal model that can guide our success? Vadim Makhov believes there is and that it can be found by means of careful analysis of the past. In this truly big-idea book he presents his 'lucky clover' theory in which, when four critical elements – science, society, innovation and wealth – are present, interacting and developing simultaneously, culminate in success. Having studied hundreds of sources, scrutinised numerous tangled intricacies in world history, and found interesting correlations between various events and phenomena, the author sets out to demonstrate that, through careful analysis of the past, we can find the right path to success.

Today Langley High School Senior Class President Chris Clark announced his support for Thomas Liu for Student Advisory Council and joined the Thomas Liu 4 SAC leadership team as the Class of 2016 Coordinator.
Said Clark, "He has the leadership capabilities to become the next SAC rep."
Chris Clark is the Class President for the Senior class, and he leads the sen16r class and our school in multiple events.
Said Liu, "Chris is an example to follow, and I hope I can learn from his leadership, so I can serve Langley in the SAC next year just like how he serves the senior class. With Chris as our Cladd of 2016 Coordinator, we hope that he can rally the seniors to support our campaign and #Liu4LHS.
I, Huan-Cheng (Thomas) Liu, believe that I am qualified because I have been engaged with multiple Langley activities for the past two years. From clubs like MUN, EARSA, Young Dems, Young Reps, SASA, CSA, Chess, Cubicle, and FBLA to the sport of rowing that I participate in. I am currently in leadership positions in some of the clubs, which gives me the opportunity to learn more on organizing events and representing my clubs. I hope I can expand what I currently do, and represent Langley in the Superintendent's Student Advisory Council. I am also picked by the mentor board to become a junior mentor next year, as a mentor I will be engaged with the freshman class, which gives me a better perspective when I am representing Langley in SAC meetings. Two goals that I want to accomplish once I am elected to the SAC is to publish monthly updates on my website (www.thomashcliu.com) to inform my fellow Saxons on what the SAC have accomplish in the meetings. I will also try to meet all of the candidates running for the FCPS Student Representative before I cast my vote. My vote will be decided by my fellow Saxons, I will open up an online voting system, and my vote will be cast to whoever wins the online ballot to represent the voice of Langley. The second goal that I will like to accomplish if elected is to make sure that I am approachable to everyone in the school, people can comment on my website, message me on social media through my Facebook, Twitter pages, or find me in person, so I can voice what the Langley students want during the SAC meetings. Another reason that I believed I am qualified for the position is because I am a rising junior, this allows he for reelection next year, this way I can represent Langley for more than one year in the body, I can be a junior member of the Langley delegation during my junior year, and I can assist the newly elected members during my senior year as a senior member of the Langley SAC delegation. This way, Langley's voice in the SAC will never be stopped, and the students of Langley can be insured that their voices are heard in the Student Advisory Council.
"Thomas rocks, he's dedicated and knows what he's doing."
McLean, Virginia – Today, candidate for Student Advisory Council Thomas Liu announced the endorsement of Daniel Xu, the Class President of the Class of 2017, the Under Secretary General (Vice President) of Langley Model United Nations, and the Operations Director of EARSA.
"Daniel is a true leader of the junior class and our school, as a mentor and a role model to me personally, I will like to thank Daniel for his support and his commitment to our campaign," Liu said. "We all love Daniel Xu, we all trust our Mr. President, with Daniel's endorsement, and him assuming the position of Class of 2017 Coordinator, I hope we can win the junior class votes at the end of the month!"
#TeamLiu #Liu4LHS
"Thomas Liu is so cool, he is the solution to global warming."
McLean, Virginia - Candidate for Student Advisory Council announced the endorsement of Andrew Farnsworth, operation director of Langley Model United Nations, the nationally ranked MUN team, as well as his commitment as the finance director of the campaign.
"I am honored to have the support of my great friend and MUN's great officer Andrew Farnsworth," Liu said. "Andrew is someone that we can all trust, as finance director, he can make sure that embezzlement doesn't happen in our campaign, and our finances are transparent.
Today Thomas Liu 4 SAC announced the expansion of Thomas Liu's core leadership team. Langley High School freshman, rower and MUNer Alex Marjanovich is going to serve as the volunteer coordinator of the campaign to train and recruit volunteers for our battle for victory. Marjanovich said: "When seeing Thomas at Crew or at MUN, you see that he is a perfectionist and will follow through even the hardest tasks. With such leaderships, the SAC can go places."
Candidates for Student Advisory Council Thomas Liu said: "My team and I especially will like to warmly welcome Alex to join us and to serve with us in our wonderful core leadership. We current have a member of each class on our campaign leadership, however we truly hope everyone in the Langley community will follow Alex's lead and join us and our team to win the election." #TeamLiu

Nemaska Exploration (TSX-V: NMX and OTC Other: NMKEF) announced today the reciept of a final prospectus filed with the regulatory authorities in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, with respect to a public offering of between $2,000,000 and $6,000,000 in the capital stock of Monarques Resources Inc. in a combination of units and flow through shares.
From today's release:
Monarques has agreed, conditional upon closing of the Offering, to purchase all rights, titles and interests owned by Nemaska in the Lac Arques, Lac des Montagnes and Lac Levac properties for a purchase price of $7,500,000 by issuing, as at the closing date of the Offering, an aggregate of 18,750,000 Common Shares at a price of $0.40 per Common Share. Nemaska intends to distribute 3,685,645 of these 18,750,000 Common Shares to its shareholders as a dividend. The record date to determine the shareholders allowed to receive the proposed dividend remains to be confirmed.
This is great news for Nemaska and its shareholders as what it essentially does is "spin-off" it's non-lithium assets to newco Monarques and creates a a "pure-play" situation for their Quebec based Whabouchi lithium project, which the company is preparing to put into production in the near term (target of 2013) with the help of their stategic partner, Asian lithium-ion battery giant Tianqi Group, which could purchase up to 50% of the Company's lithium production and assist in distributing the remainder to other Chinese lithium product makers as well as provide needed financing to bring Whabouchi into production, thus mitigating the need for Nemaska to revisit the capital markets – but it also sets up the situation wherein all shareholders of a soon to be announced record date will recieve a dividend of Monarques shares pro rata to the number of shares owned in Nemaska. Also, Nemaska looks to be getting good value for their non-lithium assets by virtue of the fact that they will be left with roughly 15 million shares of Monarques Resources after paying out the dividend shares in a well financed new company.
We have included links below to the updated research notes for Nemaska by eResearch which covers these topics in more detail.
If it's one thing every investor likes – it's a nice dividend check (or stock certificate) in the mail – so everyone should take a close look at Nemaska right now, because if you're a shareholder as of the upcoming record date, you're going to get an invitation to the Monarques Resources Dance just for being in the club!

Saturday night was supposed to be my last night delivering pizza. It will not be. The Boss at Pizzeria hasn't decided what he wants me to work this week, which means it's been impossible to make any plans for the week, and Little Yellow accidentally put me on next week's schedule, so I decided to agree to work any shifts at Big Chain that didn't directly conflict with my shifts at Pizzeria. I could use the money for my upcoming trip to Vegas. Honestly, as much as I like working at Pizzeria, I sortof hope that, at least for this week, I get to work the Friday/Saturday night shifts at Big Chain.
The most memorable thing that happened was that my first delivery was to a fake address. The order was to house number 8315. The street went straight from 8313 to 8401. They ordered online, so it wasn't our fault for mistyping. I'm pretty sure it wasn't a complaint because they specified side B of a duplex and the street is nothing but duplexes. It would be oddly specific to order to a fake duplex address. I called the guy and he didn't pick up, so I called the store and had them call and leave a voicemail. About 10 minutes after I got back to the store, the guy calls back my cell. I didn't pick it up because I knew the Bopper had left instructions for the guy to call back the store when he got the message to resolve the issue. Twenty minutes later he called back again. I still didn't pick up. Honestly, I could imagine the conversation going a few directions; he could argue with me that the address exists, ask me to redeliver, or want to speak to my manager. I couldn't really do anything about the delivery at that point anyway. I was already back at the store, clocked back in. The best possible resolution would have come had he called back to the store (something he never did), gave the correct address, we remade the pizzas, and redelivered them. To top it off, after about an hour of it sitting there on the heat-rack without the guy calling back to the store, the pizza became community pizza and I ate a slice.
The second most memorable thing that happened was when a guy slipped me two dollars "smooth style". "Smooth style" is what you see in movies when a guy goes up to a host at a restaurant and says something like, "Are you sure there aren't any available tables?" and shakes the guys hand, covertly slipping him a $20 bill. First, there is absolutely no reason to try to be smooth about tipping me. It's not a secret and I'm not going to do you any special favors. Second, if I was going to do any special favors, it wouldn't be for $2. $2 won't even buy you a smile from me. Ok, it might buy you a smile from me, in fact, as readers of my blog, you get smiles for the low low price of a hug (or nothing, but a hug would be a nice bonus), but not if I was delivering you pizza as well.
Oh! And I jumped over a waist high chain-link fence to avoid crickets.
I made $76 off 16 deliveries.

Company Benefits and Retention: It's More Than Just Retirement Plans and Insurance
Many of us have one of those "buy 10, get 1 free" cards stuffed somewhere in our wallet or purse. It seems every company is concerned about customer retention, but how many companies are concerned about employee retention? For example, Cvent – a software-as-a-service company that specializes in meetings management technology – noticed that customer retention rates are 18% higher for companies where employees are highly engaged.
You might be asking yourself, what does this have to do with employee benefits? Let me explain. With the growing number of millennials in the workforce, benefit customization is becoming increasingly important to employee retention and engagement. Interestingly, the 2017 Aflac happiness survey found that 26% of small-business employees would jump ship to a larger company if it meant better benefits offerings.
So, what are some of the unique benefits jobseekers are looking for and what benefits are employees jumping ship for? Let's take a look at some of the most interesting/unique benefits.
- Onsite Medical Staff - We all hate taking off time to go to the doctor. Why not have this available at work? Some companies do!
- Flexible work time/Work-life balance - Thankfully, my company does a good job on this one. Studies show employees are more satisfied when companies offer flexibility.
- Pet Insurance - With 65% of Americans now owning at least one pet, this is becoming an increasingly popular benefit.
- Onsite Career Coaching - Career growth is often cited as one of the most important factors for millennial retention in the workplace. Providing career coaching to help employees stretch their skills or find their niche can be very advantageous to the employer and employee.
- Extended Maternity/Paternity Leave - In "A Woman's Nation," Maria Shriver and the Center for American Progress note that women are the primary breadwinners in 4 out of 10 families. Furthermore, the first year of a baby's life is critical for developing early attachments. Understandably, paternity leave has become even more crucial in the quest for work-life balance.
Does this mean that you need to start offering all of these benefits in order to attract talent or retain your current staff? No, these are just a few written policies/plans employers have in place to show their employees how much they care about them. For instance, I was working with a small employer who couldn't necessarily afford larger benefits for their staff. But, the employer found other ways to show the staff appreciation. For instance, the owners of the company told me that they would often pick up the lunch tab for their staff even if it wasn't a company outing or lunch. This went a long way to show the employees how important they were to the company.
In the title of this blog, I allude that insurance and 401ks aren't important. I want to clarify that these are very important, but with the tightening labor market and the fact that insurance benefits are now required for full-time staff, employers must do more to attract and retain the best workforce. Providing great benefits is only one of many ways to attain and retain employees.
If you are interested in learning more about what your company can do to attract, train, and retain employees, consider taking The EDSI Talent Assessment.

If you plan to travel long term, accommodation can get expensive if you don't know the best places to look and the best tricks for saving. After having traveled to over 60 countries and using them all: Couchsurfing, Airbnb, hostels, house sitting, busses, train stations and locals, I can give you some of the best ideas of saving on accommodation for your next trip!
1. Couchsurfing
If you are traveling in a alone or with one other person, have an adventurous side and are looking for a cultural experience, then look no further than Couch surfing. After using couch surfing in over 60 countries, I can tell you from personal experience that this can be an unforgettable, rewarding experience. Make sure to choose your host wisely and take as many safety measures as you can, but don't let fear talk you out of trying this.
Check out my profile to get an idea of what one looks like:
2. Airbnb
Airbnb still offers decent prices on renting private rooms, apartments, entire homes and villas, while giving you more flexibility with your free time than Couch surfing. Airbnb has options in 34,000 cities and 190 countries.
3. Hostels
If you are traveling alone, don't feel like the hassle of dealing with another person like with Couch surfing or Aibnb, then hostels can be a great option. Not only are the prices fairly cheap, but you will have the opportunity to meet all kinds of other travels, while having the freedom to come and go as you please.
Below are some good places to look for a hostel, or you can simply just arrive to your destination and ask the locals for the most popular hostel.
- https://www.hostels.com
- https://www.hostelbookers.com
- https://www.hostelworld.com
- https://www.hostelz.com
4. Hotels
If you have a bit more flexibility in your budget, there are many great options for hotels. In fact, there are many countries that you can stay in luxury hotels for a reasonable, low price. There are normally always offers online, so take a look the different offers hotels have. One trick is if you see a hotel in the city that you are hoping to stay in, go ask the price, but leave and buy it online. You will be surprised money you will save.
5. House or pet sitting
If you are looking to house sit, first start with connecting with the people you know. Through friends or social media, its possible to find someone or someone that knows someone that is looking for this kind of service. If you have no connections, then start by using reliable sites to find a home. Many people simply let you stay in their homes if you agree to watch their cat. There are some great options out there.

- https://www.mindmyhouse.com ($20 annual fee)
6. Bed and Breakfasts
In a bed and breakfast, you often pay less than a hotel and still get the opportunity of meeting and connecting with other travelers. Its common to get a homemade breakfast, making your experience feel more like home.

7. Locals or friends
If you have an amazing ability to connect with others, you can always meet a local family and ask to stay with them. In many countries I traveled to in Africa and eastern Europe, many local families randomly met me in the store and invited me to stay in their homes during my stay. Of course, be smart, but be open to new experiences.
8. Work exchange or work away
Cultural exchanges for those who would like the opportunity during their travels, to stay with local people and gain practical experience by giving around 4 hours per day per work in return for free accommodation and meals.
Working on a farm or doing some sort of out door work, while learning more about organic life styles, in return for free housing and meals.
10. Au Pair
Like working with kids? This is a good opportunity to live abroad, get immersed in a new culture, make money on the side and get free food and housing.
Check out my experience:
11. Camping
If you are traveling during the warm months of the year and you love outdoors, then camping is a great option. Not only will you save money, but you will get the opportunity to have a unique experience outside of the busy, populated cities.
12. Overnight transportation
When traveling from one country to the next by bus or train, look for transportation with the overnight option. This will get you to your next destination, while saving money on accommodation for the night.
13. Rent a car or van
If you are traveling with other people, you can plan to rent a car or a van. This will serve you not just in transportation, but a place to sleep for the night. If you have other people to split the price with, this can be a great saving option.
14. Bus station or airports
If you have an early flight, bus or train, take advantage of that and stay at the airport or station. Most tend to be warm and fairly secure (depending on what you are going). This saves you money and takes away the possibility of missing your early morning. transportation
15. House Swapping
This may be WAY outside of your comfort zone, but you may be surprised by the outcome. I have heard of many success stories of people that traded their home and car for a set period of time with another person in area of the world and it was a win-win situation.
16. Short Term Rentals
If you know you are wanting to stay in a certain area for a period of time, then short term rentals could save you money on accommodation. Sometimes different places will cut you a deal if you plan to stay a 2 weeks or even more at a time. The best thing to do is either look online or call and ask different places what kind of deals they offer.
17. Monastery stays
If your really adventurous and want an experience that most people don't have, then try staying at a monastery. Don't expect luxury in these kind of places. Most places will come with just a bed and desk, with simple meals prepared by monks or nuns. It depends on where you are going to determine the price range, but you can find anything from free/donations to $50 per night.
18. Silent Retreats
Need a break from chaos of the world? There are silents retreats offered through many parts of the world and they are free (of course you should donate). These retreats last 10 days and rumor has it that they are NOT easy. You must be completely disconnected from the outside world and NO talking.

A world-record 1,000 plays will be performed in 10 days across East London on a 'medieval pageant wagon' to herald the launch of The Shakespeare in Shoreditch Festival 2016. Celebrating The Bard's historic connection to the neighbourhood on the 400th anniversary of his death, the festival itself brings together four of the UK's most engaging playwrights with four of London's most exciting directors – alongside a programme of workshops, film screenings, and talks.
Following 2014's sell-out success of the inaugural festival, Shakespeare in Shoreditch this week announced the full programme line-up for the second edition from April 20th-30th. Kick-starting the programme, a newly formed company of Rude Mechanicals have scheduled a world recordbreaking tour of Hackney on a 'medieval pageant wagon' from April 8th to 18th – performing in ten days the very 1,000 plays written by playwright Annie Jenkins across the ten days of the inaugural festival. The Rude Mechanicals will slog down the River Lea and up the Kingsland Road, stopping off to perform around a hundred plays each day at some of Hackney's most beloved cultural institutions – all the while recruiting new fans and audiences for the festival. Launching on April 20th, the festival itself is centred around the theme of Storms – and is headlined by four radical reinterpretations of Shakespeare's plays by four of the UK's most engaging playwrights (Lulu Raczka, David Watson, Amy Rosenthal, Charlene James) and helmed by four of London's most exciting directors (Robyn Winfield-Smith, Roy Alexander Wise, Abigail Graham, Hannah Bannister). Written and developed in Shoreditch, the newly-commissioned works all aim to build a connection between new, younger audiences and the world & works of Shakespeare – recruiting life-long fans and followers along the way.
Meanwhile, at the Festival Hub – at BL-NK, on Curtain Road – a ten-day programme of workshops, film screenings, and talks invites audiences to take shelter from the storm and share their own stories on A Hackney Story Map.

Editor's Notes
Shakespeare in Shoreditch Festival:
Shakespeare in Shoreditch was launched to celebrate Shakespeare's historic connection to Shoreditch. Dedicated to inspiring creativity through the lens of Shakespeare's works, the programme is built around a focus upon radical reinvention; playful experimentation and new perspectives.
Conceived and produced by Francesca Duncan, Joshua Nawras and Felix Mortimer, Shakespeare in Shoreditch was developed from RIFT's work on Hoxton Street with O Brave New World (2012) and The Trial (2013). The Festival was launched in April 2014 with the commissioning of 10 new plays and the inaugural Festival followed in October 2014. Shakespeare in Shoreditch now operates its own programme of activities and became a charity in 2015.
The 2016 festival is delivered in collaboration with RIFT and supported by New Diorama, BL-NK, Hackney Council and The Creative Exchange.
The Shakespeare in Shoreditch Festival 2016 is sponsored by Principal Tower. The Rude Mechanicals is only possible thanks to the generous support of the Hackney Community Fund.
The Rude Mechanicals: World Record 1000 Plays in 10 Days
From 8th – 18th April a troupe of players, The Rude Mechanicals, will travel around Hackney on a makeshift pageant wagon performing 1000 mini plays in 10 days. The Rude Mechanicals will encourage members of the public to help them with their challenge to perform all of Annie's 1000 plays in just 10 days – that is 100 plays per day!
Annie's 1000 Plays were written during the Shakespeare in Shoreditch Festival 2014 by playwright Annie Jenkins who was tasked to write 1000 new plays in 10 days. She was helped to reach her target by members of the public who donated over 300 plays to her cause. Annie's plays are short candid snapshots of real London. Formally experimental her plays veer from autobiographical to surreal and back again.
The Rude Mechanicals is only possible thanks to the generous support of the Hackney Community Fund.
