In The Mind of the Leader, Rasmus Hougaard writes about an experiment in which participants were asked to spend a short period of time alone in a room without windows, tv, pictures, writing instruments or mobile devices. They had a choice: they could just sit there or they could give themselves painful electric shocks to distract themselves.
According to the results published in the journal Science, 67 percent of the men (and 25 percent of the women) chose the electric shocks…
What would you have done? Sat there? Or shocked yourself. (One man shocked himself 190 times.)
Friends who live in the city describe the (somewhat unnerving) quiet that's replaced the normal hustle and bustle. By us, the traffic on Route 9D is thinned out but the motorcycles still rev their engines as they tour on the weekend ; with no cadets across the river at West Point, the common sounds of artillery practice and of low-flying military helicopters are absent this Spring. The sounds of the freight trains heading north and south along the river stand out more.
How are things by you, does it seem serene?
As I've been reflecting on silence recently, I've been sharing a favorite Thomas Merton poem in some of the classes I've taught:
In Silence
Be still.
Listen to the stones of the wall.
Be silent, they try
to speak your
to the living walls.
Who are you?
are you? Whose
silence are you?
Who (be quiet)
are you (as these stones
are quiet). Do not
think of what you are
still less of
what you may one day be.
be what you are (but who?)
be the unthinkable one
you do not know.
O be still, while
you are still alive,
and all things live around you
speaking (I do not hear)
to your own being,
speaking by the unknown
that is in you and in themselves.
"I will try, like them
to be my own silence:
and this is difficult. The whole
world is secretly on fire. The stones
burn, even the stones they burn me.
How can a man be still or
listen to all things burning?
How can he dare to sit with them
when all their silence is on fire?"
Regardless of whether your life seems (or is) quieter these days, that may be besides the point. Deep inner work can happen in boisterous places; spa-like settings are not a pre-requisite. Deep inner listening requires sustained interest and risk. Risk that you might be bored. Risk that nothing may seem to be happening. And even the risk that you might discover that all along, the whole world has secretly been on fire.
In this poem, Merton both lays down a challenge for us ("O be still, while/ you are still alive") and also gives us space to resist that: ("… all things live around you speaking (I do not hear)".
Maybe that parenthetical is the voice inside you or me that's not quite sure what to make of this whole silence bit; it's Statler and Waldorf hanging over the balcony, offering their hot takes on the value of silence when the whole world's upside down.
Listening to the stones. Listening to the living walls. Is that for real?
I went down to the studio on Saturday to pick some things up. There were extra tea lights and incense there, as well as some t-shirts there that I thought might make decent fabric for masks (those of you making masks for healthcare workers: PM me if you're interested in them).
I only needed to take a half a dozen steps into the space before the tears came. I sat on one of the cube chairs in the waiting area and cried for a little bit.
I felt the history of the space, the ways its evolved over the past seven years, the faces of so many of you who have come into and out of the space, I saw the bags of granola on the shelf and the tea station, the shoe bench, the front desk (handcrafted from all of those pieces of barn wood I pulled out of overgrown grass and weeds), the two Ganeshas that Donna brought back from Tibet (one broken, one in tact), no flowers in the vase, and no one else in there but me.
"Do not/ think of what you are/ still less of/ what you may one day be."
It's so familiar to me, when I'm sitting at night or in the morning, to be weeding through memories or projections into the future.
"Who are you?
are you? Whose
silence are you?"
They look like simple questions, built as they are with easy-to-read words.
Here are some more easy-to-read words:
Find a comfortable seat. Notice breathing come and go. When it is long, know that it is long; when it is short, know that it is short. Remain fully aware of sitting and breathing. Whatever arises, let it go. If it returns, stay with it, softening.
"…and this is difficult. The whole world is secretly on fire."
Yes. But aren't we a part of the whole world?
So what does that make us?

If one thing's for sure, it's that the home and garden industry is in full bloom. In fact, total spending on tools and equipment for home and garden use last year came to a brilliant 6.65 billion pounds – and is showing no signs of slowing down.
Recent demographic shifts and lifestyle changes have created budding opportunities for home and garden retailers everywhere. Millennials are an increasingly important focus, while 40% of baby boomers say improving their homes and gardens is a high-ranking hobby.
To take advantage, retailers should seek to sell their home and garden products across as many channels as possible. After all, a bigger reach almost always means more sales. This extends globally too, as rapid urbanisation in emerging countries fuels industry growth.Continue Reading >

What we think
The staff working in the NHS are its greatest asset and are key to delivering high-quality care. However, a prolonged funding squeeze combined with years of poor workforce planning, weak policy and fragmented responsibilities have resulted in a workforce crisis. Staff are working under enormous strain as services struggle to recruit, train and retain enough staff. Without urgent action to address this, the aspirations of the NHS long-term plan will not be met, and quality of health and care will deteriorate.
In the short term, the immediate workforce shortfall is so severe that it can only realistically be managed by recruiting staff from overseas, including ethically recruiting 5,000 nurses a year. This cannot be achieved without a supportive immigration policy, which should include the government accepting the recommendations of the Migration Advisory Committee to make it easier to recruit staff from outside the UK.
To create a sustainable workforce in the longer term, more staff need to be trained domestically. This will require additional investment or resources being diverted from other budgets, recognising the consequences that this would have on the ambitions to improve (or even sustain) existing services.
It is also important to improve the retention of staff already working in the service. To do this, the NHS must focus on becoming a better employer, for example by tackling discrimination and inequality, providing an attractive employment offer including more opportunities for flexible working and embedding collective leadership across the NHS that is compassionate and inclusive to create cultures in which staff want to work and build their careers.
Any strategy for shoring up the NHS workforce cannot be viewed in isolation from the need to invest in and support the wider health and care workforce, including people working in social care and in voluntary and community sector organisations. Addressing shortages in the NHS must not come at the expense of other parts of the system.
The context
The NHS is the largest employer in England, with around 1.1 million full-time equivalent (FTE) staff working in hospital and community services. There has been no national workforce strategy for the NHS since 2003 despite a deepening workforce crisis. NHS hospitals, mental health services and community providers are reporting a shortage of more than 100,000 FTE staff, severely affecting key groups such as nurses. Shortages of GPs and other staff working in primary care and community services are putting ambitions to deliver more care out of hospitals at risk.
Current shortages look set to worsen. The government's efforts to increase the number of nurses in training have so far been unsuccessful, and Britain's decision to leave the EU appears to already be having an impact. For example, the number of nurses and midwives from Europe leaving the Nursing and Midwifery Council's register has risen from 1,981 in 2015/16 to 3,333 in 2018/19, while the number joining fell by 90 per cent. General practice is also under strain with a shortage of 2,500 FTE GPs; projections suggest this gap could increase to 7,000 within five years if current trends continue.
There is currently a vicious cycle in which unfilled vacancies put pressure on staff, prompting some to leave and thereby creating even more pressure on the remaining staff. As the Care Quality Commission has highlighted, workforce shortages are already having a direct impact on the quality of people's care, and NHS waiting times standards are now routinely missed.
The size and complexity of the workforce challenge is such that addressing it will require consistent and concerted action across the system on workforce planning, pay, training, retention and job roles. Wider policies on immigration and Brexit also need consideration, particularly in the short term.
The NHS long-term plan recognised the scale of the challenge and set out a number of measures to address it, including the establishment of a cross-sector national workforce group. An interim People Plan was published in June 2019, but contains insufficient detail for us to have confidence that it will lead to robust solutions. A full People Plan is to be published following the government's next Spending Review, when the total investment available for education and training is due to be confirmed.
Culture and leadership will play an essential role in improving retention and making the NHS a better place to work. Evidence and experience from high-performing health systems demonstrates that compassionate, inclusive leadership enables teams to deliver better patient care.

Utilising storytelling for effective marketing communication
Storytelling has been around since the beginning of human existence. Life is full of stories of love, conquests, achievements, failures, and defeat.

Storytelling is not only an effective marketing communication tool. It is the most effective way to […]Read More

[This is a direct transcription, please excuse any typing errors.]
The recruitment market is changing and with growth comes competition. At a recent Greg Savage workshop, he made the appropriate quote that if Recruitment Companies want to be successful, they will need to excel at digital marketing too.
Nothing new…. though we would say that wouldn't we!
People buy products and services when they have a need from people they know like and trust who add value to them. Period.
Therefore, how can you start this process?
Enter the white paper. Also referred to as a lead magnet, eBook or ethical bribe.
Confused? Don't be.
In this post and podcast, we want to share three ways that a white paper can help promote your recruitment brand.
It Builds Your Authority
Last year there was an increase in the number of recruitment and staffing organisations globally. Competition is at an all-time high and if you want to stand out as a 'go to' (I know I hate that word too, only its appropriate here) recruiting partner you need to 'do it' differently.
People work with people whom they perceive can solve their problems whether that is helping them structure their recruiting process or develop their career.
Writing a white paper is the first step in the process. The thing is people in today's market have a choice. Therefore it's important that your potential candidates and clients are influenced to work with you as you meet their criteria. Adding value is one of them.
A white paper does this.
Here at Superfast Towers, we visit a lot of recruitment websites, and less than 20% of them provide a resource like this. A huge missed opportunity.
It Answers A Problem They Might Have
Though it isn't nice to hear people don't really care about you. What is essential to them is how you can provide a solution to their immediate problem. Your white paper is the first step in the process.
It answers a challenge they have and…. Starts them down the buyer's cycle to working with you.
It Creates Leads For You: Even In A GDPR World
Not everyone is ready to take advantage of your recruiting service straight away. That is normal. I am sure when any of us is approached in a store we utter, "just looking" to the eager salesperson who engages us in conversation if we aren't yet ready to buy.
We buy when we are ready and when we have considered our options.
Imagine being a client who is potentially in the market to use a new recruitment supplier. Let's say one company provides a range of reports, helpful guides useful emails and blog posts and the other rings up every other Wednesday asking if you are recruiting; which might you choose ???
In the UK we will soon be in a situation where we need to ask 'permission' to market to our client and candidate database. Cold emailing will never be the same again.
Enter the white paper…..
It's straightforward to give away a white paper of value in return for an email address, and it's a strategy we teach our Superfast Circle members.
So, when you ask your database if they still want to hear from you and they have been receiving useful content and links to blog posts what do you think they will say ?…. I rest my case.
What Next?
Ready to start up levelling your recruitment brand ? Creating a marketing plan with a focus on dominating your sector is a must do.
You might be there already, or you might be like many recruitment owners we talk to who are either totally confused about what to do… or they have a mish-mash of strategies all unconnected; sound familiar? Want some help to start getting it right next year. Then book a call here, and let's get the ball rolling.

Hi everyone...I'm new the forum but am relating to much of what I'm reading today. May I ask, do any of you have problems with Vertigo or dizzyness/light headedness? I suffer from Anxiety and have my entire life and because I have no health insurance and am currently unable to afford purchasing it, I am left untreated. Recently I've been experiencing blurred vision and terrible numbness across the top of my skull, sometimes there is pain and sometimes none at all. I also feel as though I'm going to fall over and will suddenly stop in my tracks! It is a terrifying feeling of constant unsteadyness.
I've recently discovered a program called Lifeline which allows for certain testing at a discounted rate and will be having Coranary, artery blockage testing done for the dizzyness, numbness, and headaches "just to be safe" as I'm 46 and do not want to take chances. Please, if anyone suffers with the likeness of any of this I would appreciate your feedback.
Thank you.
Curently I am taking no medication other than Synthroid for a low Thyroid function as I am unable to afford it.
Welcome to the forum. I am so glad you found us and that you have received good advice from our members.
It does sound like your symptoms are related to anxiety as many people experince these same symptoms. I have from some of the meds I have tried but generally this is not a problem for me.
Again a warm welcome,

It's easy to see how much your dog loves you but there may be certain signs.
When you get home from a long day at work and your dog runs up to you and starts crying. He is so excited and happy to see you. It makes the long day worth it by coming home to your baby. Sometimes they may even have a little accident but who could get mad at that. I know I couldn't.
Another sign is if they lick your face. Some people may think it's disgusting but since they can't say I love you with words, they lick your face. Like they say, actions speak louder than words.
If not trained, they may jump on you because they are so excited to see you. Would you rather get home and they completely ignore you? I say jumping is not so bad.
Even at night, they may jump in bed and kick your partner out of bed. Your furry friend wants to be as close as possible, especially at night. We have all heard that they sometimes people would rather have their animal in bed than their partner. Again, that's only sometimes.
If your animal is showing signs of love, please don't discourage and just enjoy it. They won't be around forever and rely on us for love. They deserve it.

Doing and Talking Mathematics: Engaging ELLs in the Academic Discourse of the Mathematical Practices
- 475 Downloads
It is critical that educators promote full inclusion of English language learners (ELLs) in STEM courses. This chapter presents a process and resources for enacting a discourse-centered pedagogy that builds mathematical understanding while simultaneously engaging and supporting students to develop the language of complex thinking. Using a small set of Teacher Discourse Moves and Student Discourse Moves, teachers focus on deepening students' mathematical reasoning in ways fully inclusive of ELLs, while also helping all students build the language of complex thinking and mathematical argumentation.

Two women are suing the University of Texas at Arlington for religious discrimination, claiming they were fired for praying.
Their prayer session took place after a male colleague complained that he was having problems with a female co-worker.
The two claim that after work, they prayed for the woman, who was on vacation, in her office cubicle and then anointed the cubicle's doorframe with olive oil.
University officials said their actions constituted "harassment."
The Santa at a shopping mall in Paisley, Scotland, has swapped his traditional red and white hat for a yellow hardhat with red reindeer antlers.
He made the switch for protection – after a gang of rowdies pelted him with mince pies from a mall balcony.
A mall official said the antlers were added to Santa's hardhat to "Christmas it up a bit."

By Mark Pavilons
Parts of the Holland Marsh were flooded May 25 with a rush of water from a breach in the dyke that protects it. Subsequently another breach on the morning of June 16 further overwhelmed the area.
Simcoe-York MPP Julia Munro wrote to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and the Minister of Agricultural and Food, requesting the area be declared a disaster area and emergency action be taken.
"We have to fix this so that it doesn't happen again," said Munro as she reflected on the impact this disaster is having on the farmers within the Holland Marsh.
According to Munro, "the effect on the local economy will be crippling. With this season's crops ruined, it is imperative that assistance is provided to ensure a stable future for farmers in the Marsh."
In light of these events Munro is advocating that the Province recognize the immediate need for action and provide all necessary assistance to the areas that have been devastated by the disaster.
King Councillor Avia Eek, a Holland Marsh farmer, said she was "shocked" when she heard about the first dyke failure in May, and she drove out to see the affected area.
It seems there were high water levels in the West Holland River, and as a result, the existing dykes were saturated. Add strong north winds to the mix which served to push the water south, thereby raising the water levels, and you have a dyke failure. There was anywhere from 4 feet to 10 feet of water measured on some 170 acres of farmland used for intensive agriculture – high value vegetable crops.
The failed dyke was repaired, and the area de-watered. The land was wet, but the farmers still had hope that they'd be able to salvage the season by planting late carrots.
That hope was dashed when the dyke failed again June 16.
"The growing season for these farmers is finished," Eek said. The council of Bradford West Gwillimbury, did, however, declare this a disaster area, and is currently working with the Province of Ontario, the Holland Marsh Growers Association, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, and the Holland Marsh Joint Services Drainage Board.
Part of the reason for the canal re-location project was to prevent flooding, due to extreme weather events, within the polders. The Holland Marsh is provincially designated as a Specialty Crop Area, where high value vegetable crops are produced, and is vital as an economic driver to King Township, Town of Bradford West Gwillimbury, York Region, the Province of Ontario, and Canada. This area's economic impact is in excess of $169 million, Eek pointed out.
Is there any danger of this happening closer to home?
"Having a strong dyke system that can withstand current and future weather events is crucial to maintaining our food security in this area."
For more information about the canal re-location project go to hollandmarsh.org.

Available through Itiviti's global organization, the new regulatory solution provides firms with comprehensive surveillance capabilities for visibility and oversight of trading practices as mandated by Rule 613. CMS will conduct independent validation of customers' CAT reporting. While fundamentally a platform-agnostic solution, it offers seamless integration with Itiviti's leading connectivity and trading solutions portfolio.
"Working with CMS and including their regulatory reporting expertise, we are proud to offer an efficient, easily managed CAT solution which features clean reporting and consistent processes," said Linda Middleditch, EVP, Head of Product Strategy. Itiviti. "The recent initiatives by the SEC has made the CAT implementation a pressing issue for market participants, and our partnership with CMS helps customers get on track to compliance in a timely and cost-efficient manner."
SEC Rule 613 requires broker-dealers to report all transactions conducted in the US equities and listed options markets to a Consolidated Audit Trail database, enabling cross-market surveillance and reconstruction of market events to identify potential violations of SEC regulations. After significant delays, the SEC has taken a significant step by issuing a schedule for CAT implementation, with the deadline for the first phase now set to April 20, 2020.
"Combining an unmatched market presence with its trading and regulatory experience, Itiviti is the ideal partner for marketing, integrating and supporting our regulatory solutions globally," said Satish S. Mujumdar, Partner, Capital Market Solutions. "Providing a one-stop shop for all regulatory and compliance related inquiries becomes an increasingly attractive proposition as firms are facing a growing regulatory burden. Together with Itiviti, we will deliver on this vision while adding real value to our mutual customers."
The CAT solution introduced by Itiviti and CMS goes beyond the baseline requirements for SEC compliance by offering unique, value-add features. These include:
All market participants with any activity in the United States are subject to Rule 613. This includes all firms currently providing Order Audit Trail System (OATS) reporting as required by the US Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) and used to record information relating to orders, quotes and other related trade data from all equities traded on NMS.

Problems with Recordings
- Most casual editors don't know, which recording should be related to which track, because there is no obviously correct entity. So they choose either a new recording (best choise, when in doubt) or a recording with the same name and a similar length.
- It is hard to split recordings, which were incorrectly merged (or reused, see above), because the information which fingerprint was added originally for which track is lost (can't be stored, because a track has no identifier).

There's a tiny creek tucked into the Santa Lucia Mountains, in central coastal California. The valleys below burst with green lettuce and strawberries almost all year round, because the mild climate and rock-free soil favor agriculture. Rainfall is concentrated in a single season centered around the winter months from October to April, and during the rest of the year, farmers must rely on water stored behind dams in the mountains or, more commonly, groundwater. But in most years much more groundwater is pumped out of the underground aquifers than is recharged from rain. Drought years are even worse. It was here that we went looking for fish.
We searched along an intermittent stream with the foreboding name of Arroyo Seco ("dry gulch") near the southern extent of the range for steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss). When this cold-water fish migrates out to sea as a juvenile and back to the headwaters as an adult to spawn it's called steelhead trout. When it spends its entire life in the river without migrating, we call it rainbow trout. Fisheries scientists had been studying the unlikely persistence of this migratory form in streams that only occasionally connect to the Pacific Ocean.
What are essential ingredients for fish survival in this inhospitable environment? First is water. During the wet season, rainfall (average 67.3 centimeters per year) fills the streams and percolates slowly into the aquifers through gravel and rocks. The dry season is very hot, routinely exceeding 35 degrees Celsius, or 95 degrees Fahrenheit. The only water in the stream at this time is groundwater baseflow. By late summer, accumulated heat, evaporation and groundwater pumping from the valley below exhaust the lowest reaches of these streams.
Water is a start, but these cold-water fishes are very unhappy at 23 degrees Celsius and die at temperatures over 25 degrees Celsius, requiring more oxygen until their heart can't keep up with the demand. Colder water holds more oxygen, and fish in colder water require less oxygen. We set out to find a cold survival niche using a fiber-optic technique called Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS) in Horse Creek, a chapparal-covered watershed that drains into Arroyo Seco. We selected a kilometer of stream that was (barely) accessible and wet; spanning the potentially viable habitat range from upstream bedrock pools down to a wide, bare, sunny channel. Colleagues had spent days carrying the fiber-optic cable on a home-made Cleopatra-like litter and spooling out a little at a time, tucking the cable down between the rocks where fish would be. I spliced the cable onto connectors, fired up the DTS, and looked at a kilometer of stream temperatures through the lens of a thin glass fiber.
I expected to see evidence of cool groundwater upstream, and steadily increasing temperature downstream as stream water interacts with the hot air. Sure enough, the upstream end showed a fish-pleasing 15 degrees Celsius (even in the middle of a hot June day), slowly increasing downstream, but not enough to bother the biota. We also saw something unexpected: In several areas under the dense shade of alders and oaks, the temperature seemed to decrease downstream. We set off to investigate. A large river meander had cut through an old landslide deposit, a feature typical of rapid uplift along this part of the coast. Near where the cooling began we found evidence of some water disappearing from the side of the channel and leaving a wet trace of green between the already yellow grasses on the bank. Farther down, we had an even bigger surprise. Cool water rejoined the channel from below and from the side and collected in deep pools against bedrock walls. In one of these, there was a frenzy of bright orange California newts. My colleague, David Boughton of the National Marine Fisheries Service, showed me opalescent gelatinous spheres, about 5 centimeters in diameter, stuck to several submerged sticks.
"Those are the newt egg masses. The adult newts who made them may prey on the steelhead eggs or newly-emerged fry," he said with chagrin. "But that one-year-old is probably safe," pointing to a long (about 10 centimeters) tannish-green speckled fish, nicely camouflaged to match the dappled sunlight on rocks and leaves. "That fish will need to survive another year before it's large enough to migrate out to sea." As the streamflow diminished to nothing in the sunny channel beyond the green riparian canopy, the water temperature rose steadily to meet the air. But conditions were looking good for fish under the canopy, and we left after a week, intending to return in June to repeat our measurements.
Delayed until August by a major wildfire, we returned to find a few trunks still smoldering and much of the landscape blackened. Fortunately, the same cool groundwater that sustains this unlikely fish population also saved our cable from certain demise. Only one break was found and easily fixed: The cable had once been looped up and over a log, now gone, and the cable had melted into two. DTS confirmed the presence of all of the groundwater inputs we had suspected in May as distinct, cool stripes, but their area was reduced, and in many places, not continuously connected. By the end of the summer, fish that explored these farthest pools were trapped, they were oxygen-depleted, and they perished. And yet upstream under the canopy many survived, against all odds, in an improbable handful of tiny cool pools in the middle of a dryland mountain, waiting for the big storms of winter to open their route to the sea.

Wasted Beauty
Taking care of ourselves isn't easy, particularly in an appearance-centric world, and our desire to look good also has significant negative consequences on our environment.
Did you know 70% of waste in the beauty industry is packaging?
Unfortunately, the beauty industry has more than just a packaging problem when it comes to waste. Environmentally unfriendly products filled with synthetic chemical ingredients made to de-wrinkle, soften, illuminate, glossify, plump etc, pollute marine life and cause environmental damage when washed down the drain - making their way through waste-water treatment plants and into the ocean.
There are purpose driven beauty brands who have made it their mission to produce beautiful quality products using 100% natural and organic ingredients, sustainably sourced and having a minimal impact on the environment. With continual development in technology, these innovative brands also use sustainable packaging that can be recycled, reused or composted and with a `less is more' philosophy, they completely avoid excess packaging.
Although consumers are starting to get an understanding of what sustainability really means and becoming more aware, the actions of the majority aren't following through. People remain strongly influenced by marketing campaigns and celebrity endorsements, people are also time poor so accessibility and ease of purchase influences consumption behaviour. Unfortunately brands who have the greatest distribution and often the most competitively priced are often the ones who cut corners, driven by selling volume and maximising profits, it has a direct impact on the ingredients and packaging used.
Beauty brands who operate in the sustainability space, in comparison, are driven not only by their bottom line but equally by their desire to protect our planet. Sourcing sustainable ingredients, using sustainable packaging and minimising their impact on the environment.
Made With Respect partner with amazing sustainable beauty brands for both women & men, including;
Virginia Stone product is custom crafted by master artisans, made to order using only premium-grade natural raw superfood.

Hunter Lab craft the very best of nature specific to the needs of men's thicker skin using the most effective botanically sourced ingredients free of harmful toxins, all natural and of the highest efficacy.
Hunter Lab take their responsibility to the environment and our planet seriously, sustainably sourcing ingredients and using recyclable packaging.
Not only do the thousands of beauty products on the market need to fulfill their promise to slow down the aging process but they also need to commit to slowing down the amount of waste they generate.
There are many things we, as individuals, can do in our everyday life to live more sustainably and we must all work toward living more sustainably. We need to realise how destructive and polluting our consumption behaviour has become - we demand, they supply. We must move away from a make, use, dispose mentality and we need to start making more conscious choices, buying better and buying less.
With an ever-growing demand for resources by an ever-growing population, we're putting tremendous pressure on the biodiversity of our planet...a planet that cannot be replaced.

Changes physically
You are sure to notice some drastic changes in your partner when she starts cheating. This could be in the sorts of clothes she wears, her makeup, and her body stature. For instance, if your woman who is usually a no make-up person, especially when stepping out to less distant places like a nearby shop, suddenly starts getting all dressed up, that's a red flag.

Serie A champions, Juventus, are planning to lure Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, to the club at the end of the season.
Maurizio Sarri who joined Juventus from Chelsea in the summer is under pressure at the Allianz Stadium.
The president of the club, Andrea Agnelli, believes that Guardiola is the right man for the club.
Inter Milan regained the top spot following their 4-2 win over city rivals AC Milan on Saturday, while Sarri's men slipped after their 2-1 defeat to Hellas Verona.
Sarri is putting all effort together not to be the first manager to blow a record ninth Serie A title in a row.
Guardiola currently earns around £15m-a-year at City, the Serie A side has revealed that money will "will not be an object".

Apple's decision to license map data from HERE was conceived at a point in time when Nokia owned map data provider Navteq, following a spectacular $8 Billion acquisition of Navteq in October 2007. Nokia considered Location-based services (LBS) key to the delivery of contextual and useful experiences, and importantly to differentiate from competing vendor handset offerings.
Fast forward to today. HERE is now platform agnostic. HERE was not part of Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia's Device & Services business – although Microsoft continues to license HERE products and content for its Lumia smartphones. As we wrote in November 2012, Nokia's Navteq asset was rebranded as HERE and also communicated its horizontal strategy. HERE's services are now licensed by a number of smartphone OEMs and platforms, including Amazon, Jolla, Samsung, and Tizen among others.
HERE is increasingly becoming the gold standard in the industry for its digital map products across mobile, internet and automotive touch points and it is our opinion that Apple should switch from its current map data provider TomTom to HERE. Why? As highlighted in our April 2014 report "Emerging Markets, Indoor Location & Mobile Advertising to Drive Future Mobile LBS Market Growth" (see figure below) HERE's superiority in digital maps extends beyond the automotive use case and into key growth areas including indoor location and pedestrian navigation (via integration with wearables) in addition to hybrid offline maps. Therefore, Apple would be better off licensing HERE map data to support its own map platform and LBS ambitions, rather than continue to rely on TomTom.
