Samuel G. Delametter, an enterprising and progressive young citizen of Bartlesville, has been identified with insurance interests since 1918, traveling throughout northeastern Oklahoma as a representative of the Business Men's Insurance Company of Kansas City, Missouri. His birth occurred in Pratt, Kansas, on the 18th of August, 1885, his parents being J. V. and MaryyDelametter, the former a native of the state of New York and the latter of Kansas. J. V. Delametter, who devoted his attention to merchandising in the Sunflower state, made his way to Bartlesville eighteen years ago and first became proprietor of a restaurant here, while subsequently he conducted a laundry and later engaged in dealing in groceries and meats. He now owns and occupies a farm two miles from Bartlesville, receiving royalties from the ten oil wells on the property.
His has been an active, upright and honorable "career and he has long enjoyed an enviable reputation as one of the substantial and esteemed citizens of the community. The demise of his wife occurred more than two decades ago. Their son, Walter F., who is now twenty-five years of age, is an automobile salesman residing in Bartlesville.
Samuel G. Delametter, who was a youth of eighteen years when he accompanied his father to Bartlesville, continued the operation of the Delametter laundry after the latter disposed of his interest therein and was thus actively engaged until 1918, when he sold out and turned his attention to the insurance field, handling life, health and accident insurance. His office is No. 28 Johnstone building in Bartlesville and he travels throughout northeastern Oklahoma for the Business Men's Insurance Company of Kansas City, Missouri, which has found him one of its most valued and successful representatives. Fraternally he is an Elk.
Energetic, ambitious and progressive, he is making his mark in the business world, while his many attractive social qualities have won him a large circle of warm friends.

The majority of law firms across the UK are unwilling to offer training contracts due to concerns such as finding the time to train them, salary expectations and concerns that it will not benefit the company in any way. But there could be a number of benefits to hiring junior lawyers to help reduce the work load of jobs that lawyers otherwise do not have the time for.
On average junior lawyers are valued at around £16,000 – £19,000 depending on the location and the size of the law firm. The costs of advertising for a junior lawyer however can sometimes an added expense that law firms do not want to pay out for but it can be generally cheap and easy to advertise for a trainee position.
If a law firm cannot afford to pay the minimum trainee salary, the trainee can have the option of applying to the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) if they wish to ask permission to waive the trainee minimum wage.
Hiring junior lawyers as trainee's from a wide range of backgrounds will create diversity and promote equal opportunities which may in return give you a competitive edge. Training a junior in house means that the law firm can help the trainee build a fantastic brand awareness and thorough understanding of the company's ascetics, which will strengthen the team and the company. It is important to remember that a junior lawyer does not necessarily mean that the prospect does not have any experience. Becoming a lawyer can often be an older prospect deciding to take a second path in life.
Perks of hiring a junior
Hiring a junior can help with tasks such as organisation, planning and filling in skill gaps. Junior lawyers are often adept with the latest technologies and marketing tools such as social media platforms therefore can also advise the law firm as well as the law firm training the prospect. A relatively new lawyer will also have the latest academic legal training experiences and the added bonus that you can train them exactly how you want to as they have not yet developed their own style.
Depending on the junior lawyers level of training, you can often hire a junior lawyer that has already trained at another firm and use this as 'time to count' in order to reduce the time of the training contact. Alternatively you can also second a trainee solicitor to another law firm during their contract.
When the duration of the contact is coming to an end, if you decide to offer the trainee a role within the company then you will benefit from their added training and experience.
Emma Dickinson of Whitehead Monckton is an employment law solicitor in Maidstone Kent and has written the article called 'Young Blood' on how hiring trainee has raised a number of questions within the legal industry. Read the full article here.

Hanging straight leg raises, dips
Start with a few seconds; rest for what remains of a minute; then repeat 5 times. Build up to 5 holds of 15s, with rests of 45s.
Again, start with a few seconds; rest for what remains of a minute; then repeat 5 times.
Keep alternating between legs.
Hold the position for 5 sets of between 5 and 15s, resting for what remains of a minute.
Aim for one minute work in total, so for instance, do 3 sets of 20s with 40s rest; or 2 sets of 30s with 30s rest.
Keep building this up until you can hold the position for a full minute.

Hi there, I was wondering where we are supposed to add the ancillary progressions to the routine as they are "unlocked" with progress one after another. At the end after the planks? Move all the skill work to the beginning of the workouts right after the warm up exercises? Thanks in advance for your answer and keep up the excellent work!ReplyDelete
Skill work is better done at the beginning of a workout (after the warm up) or on your off days.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous13 March 2014 at 23:54
el diablo, i'm on the the single leg L sits. i also tried planks, already on the decline plank. i like L sits better, much more fun XD. can i do them instead of the plank? or should i bo both?ReplyDelete
Great tutorial. As a cyclist I am looking to strenghten my core and although I am only on step 1, hope to be able to do the l sit soon.ReplyDelete

Julianne Wainstein: I'm Happy to Not Be Part of the Tom Love Triangle
Jules talks about her divorce struggles and calls out the ladies for their behavior on the Miami trip.
Welcome to Miami! Maybe it's just the way I was raised, but if I accept an invitation to a celebration, I'm going with one agenda: to celebrate and honor the person or people whose happy occasion it is. Period. So while Carole was packing for her spy mission, Ramona was readying to clear the air with Luann, and Bethenny was plotting her next take-down, I was going shoe shopping! FYI, never found the aquasocks haha!
First stop, a visit to the parentals! Now that you have met my mom and dad, you know why I am obsessed with them. Two of the kindest souls you ever met, together in love for 36 years! Being raised in an unconditionally loving environment has given me the grounding and strength to get through anything...even the heartbreak of divorce. My heart breaks all over again watching the show now and listening to Jagger crying on the phone. I tried to brush it off in front of my parents, because I didn't want them to be concerned, especially with my dad having just recently returned home from the hospital, but I broke down the minute I was alone. Protecting my kids is the single most important thing in my life.
Next stop, the "Ship of Fools" (thanks again for that Bethenny). It was great to see Luann literally glowing with happiness. Every woman deserves to feel that way, and the yacht was incredible. Carole "genuinely happy for her"? I have to call bulls--- on that one, but that's just my opinion. Kudos to Sonja for her grace under pressure. I'm not sure how many other women I know would act so selflessly and with such class in the same situation.
I'm happy to not be part of the Tom love triangle. Just the usual trying to make the best of our girls trip. TRUST me when I say I tried! Even I am on the edge of my seat waiting to see the next few episodes! Stay tuned...

We are heading into the coldest couple of weeks of the year here in Toronto. The snow hasn't been terrible but it sure is COLD! This weather always has me craving hearty stick to your ribs stews and braises as my last few savory posts would suggest. See the Braised Pork Belly, Texas-style Chili and most recently these Smoky Ancho Chili Lamb Shanks. Of course all meant to be enjoyed over top a mound of piping hot starch and with copious amounts of red wine – at least that is the way it seems to go down in my household.
To strike a balance, at least for the sake of my waistline, I do what I can to keep a light lunch (when I can that is).
This purée doesn't just have to be cauliflower. Choose a vegetable you love or whatever is in season. Then just add a fresh or dried herb or spice that pairs well. I've made this soup with broccoli and some sharp cheddar, zucchini with fresh basil, carrots and ginger and sweet potato and a cinnamon stick! Use this soup and method as a base for other flavor combinations including spicy curry pastes, smoky harissa or creamy coconut milk. The potato in the soup creates a nice creaminess but you can always add a touch of cream at the end, a little goes a long way.
I served this soup with a couple grates of Parmesan cheese to amp up the flavor, some freshly chopped parsley and a thin olive oil crouton (see note).
Simple Purée of Cauliflower Soup
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves of garlic, mince
- 1 carrot, finely chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
- 1 white potato, chopped
- 4 cups of cauliflower florets
- Stalks of 1 bunch of parsley, tied (optional, see note)
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 bay leaf
- 3-4 cups of vegetable stock (enough to cover the vegetables)
- Salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, oregano and bay leaf. Cook stirring for 5-7 minutes until the onions take on a little bit of color.
Add the parsley bundle, carrots, celery and cauliflower and cook until warmed through. Add the potato and enough stock or water to cover the vegetables. Bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot and simmer for 30-40 minutes until vegetables are very tender. Skim any foam or skum that accumulates on the surface of the broth.
Fish out the parsley bundle and bay leaf. Using a handheld blender, purée the soup. Add more stock/water to thin if necessary and adjust seasoning. Enjoy! Makes 4-6 servings.
I love adding a sprinkling of fresh parsley or cilantro to just about everything savory. I used to discard all the stalks but eventually learned that they had great flavor potential. After using up the leaves, I would wash, dry and tie up the stalks into bundles using butcher's string and freeze them in a single layer before putting them in a zip lock. It's a great way not to waste but more importantly a wonderful way to make your food taste better!!! When if find myself making a soup, stew or sauce, I could grab a bundle from the freezer and drop it into the pot. I never seek out to make olive oil croutons. They are really a result of yummy baguette or bread gone stale. Slice your stale bread thinly, about 1/4 of an inch thick. Brush both sides with olive oil and bake at 325°F for 15 minutes until they are completely dry. These are wonderful with soup or equally tasty in place of crackers on a cheese platter. If you are feeling fancy, rub each side of the bread with a cut piece of garlic or sprinkle on some grated Parmesan.

Support SEAG at the book sale this Saturday!
April 11, 2011
No news yet on Lafarge application
A planning application for 30+ years gravel extraction on land along the Thames towards Shiplake has yet to appear on the Oxfordshire County Council website.
Lafarge Aggregates have confirmed their application is imminent. Their website has details of an exhibition held last summer. SEAG will ensure the voice of local people is heard when the application (which is expected to consist of many pages) is finally received.
Confusingly, they continue to deliberately refer to 'Spring Lane, Caversham' - implying that the area is not in fact attractive Oxfordshire countryside, but a built up urban connurbation.
Sonning volunteers continue heavy lorry blitz
The scourge of overweight lorries choking local roads is being tackled by a group of dedicated volunteers who have been out again today taking the numbers and photos of overweight lorries crossing Sonning bridge. They work with Oxfordshire Trading Standards, who disappointingly have only sent out warning letters for the last 2 years to offenders caught breaking the 7.5 tonne weight limit. Their efforts are supplemented by the data from Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras on the bridge - which mean that in seconds police have details of every car using the crossing.
March 21, 2011
Lafarge minerals application expected in late April or soon after
The gravel giant is shortly expected to submit a planning application to Oxfordshire for another so-called extension to the sand and gravel workings at Sonning Eye. This would take them along the river valley towards Shiplake, coming within 50m or so of the Thames Path.
SEAG will review the application carefully and will report to local people what steps it thinks are necessary. We are already concerned that any reduction in the ability of the floodplain's ability to absorb flooding (both during or after the works) could be diasterous for houses in both Sonning Eye and lower Caversham.
Predicting the future capacity of the floodplain with accuracy is notoriously difficult, and as Professor Myles Allen, of Oxford University's Department of Physics said recently:
'whether or not a flood occurs in any given year is still an 'Act of God' but, with the help of thousands of climateprediction.net volunteers, we are beginning to see how human influence on climate may be starting to load God's dice.'
OCC Cabinet voted on 16 February was to agree the County Council's strategy approach for mineral working. This now goes out for consultation in June/July. This means concentration of working in existing areas, including at Sonning Eye. Specific sites for extraction will be selceted in a more detailed site allocation process that will follow.
The consultation results will be received before the strategy is agreed by full council for submission to the Secretary of State. Early in 2012, the strategy will be published for formal representations, which will then be considered by an inspector. HIs report is binding. The whole process will be over by the beginning of 2013.
March 05, 2011
Gobbling up the landscape at Sonning Eye
Work is underway to extract gravel from 'the triangle' at Sonning Eye. Much of the site has been stripped of topsoil; large soil bunds store the surplus and a conveyor is in place to carry away the material. The impact on the lanscape is clearly visible from a public footpath on the hillside above.
SEAG has concerns about the possible impact of these bunds on the flow of flood water in the area. A few hours delay in the dispersal of floodwater could cause disasterous domestic flooding. Once the gravel extraction begins Lafarge have three years to complete work. Their application promises extensive restoration afterwards.
October 20, 2010
Oxfordshire Cabinet supports continued gravel extraction at Sonning Eye
Bad news for Sonning Eye and the surrounding areas. As part of the agreement of its minerals strategy for the next ten years, the OCC Cabinet voted on 19 October to support continued minerals extraction in the so-called 'Caversham' area – which means the Sonning Eye pit.
A planning application for new digging on site continues to be expected, perhaps sometime before Christmas. SEAG is resolved to fight this.
In the strategy plans, OCC consultants will now report on the amount of gravel to be produced. This has to be agreed with the Government and then a plan prepared for its production. If the existing areas cannot supply it, then new areas will be brought in. This plan will go out to public consultation in the spring and then be considered further. It is expected that the plan will go to the Secretary of State for approval by early 2012.
A Public Enquiry may be called and a motion will be put before the full OCC Council of 74 Councillors, along with any legal challenges from excavation companies and other pressure groups.
The supporting documents are available on this site, with the relevant passages highlighted. Or follow this link to Oxfordshire's site.
The new strategy:
- wrongly states that there are no archaeologically significant sites at Caversham (there certainly are in their current target areas)
- seeks to minimise the impact on the Chilterns (AONB)
- does not mention the impact on the River and Thames Path
- barely mentions and then disregards the continued impact on local communities
- sees proximity to Reading as a bonus (local out of county supply is seen as good)
The wording of the motion was:
The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to:
(a) agree the guiding principles for the minerals strategy (paragraphs 3 to 5 of Annex 1);
(b) agree that the County Council's preferred approach for mineral working in the short to medium term is:
(i) sand and gravel – concentration of working in existing areas of working, at Lower Windrush Valley, Eynsham/ Cassington/Yarnton, Radley, Sutton Courtenay and Caversham, subject to the ability of these areas to provide for the medium to longer term being re-assessed when the requirement for sand and gravel supply has been established and consideration being given to new areas of working if the re-assessment indicates this is necessary;
(ii) soft sand – working in three existing areas: south east of Faringdon; Tubney/Marcham/Hinton Waldrist; and Duns Tew;
(iii) crushed rock – working in three existing areas: north of Bicester to the east of the River Cherwell; south of the A40 near Burford; and south east of Faringdon;

Let's Get Your Creative Juices Flowing!!!
Art as Therapy
I've been so busy I haven't been able to post for the last few weeks. With my kids home for the summer and monthly travel plans, my creative schedule has been a bit all over the place. I just wanted to share my latest project, however, as this project is a special one for me.
I created her last week, I think the day before I left for Iceland. I was feeling guilt for leaving my kids and husband behind the very week they were returning to school, stressed because my Retreat is fast approaching and this trip was taking my attention away from preparing as much as I'd like to, rushed because I want to have lessons prepared for the Fun Fab Drawing Club and Mixed Media Society and angsty because I have a lot of companies breathing down my neck for reviews. All of that combined made me feel frozen and panicked all at the same time.
But I finally decided to go and practice what I preach. I know all too well how good arting is for the soul. What therapy it is!!! When I'm feeling so stressed, I don't turn to exercise, or council, I reach for my art supplies. It ALWAYS works...so why wasn't I doing that?! So I had a little come-to-Jesus-moment with myself and talked myself into creating for one day JUST FOR ME. No lesson plan, no ulterior motive, just for out-and-out therapy BECAUSE IT MAKES ME FEEL BETTER.
And you know what?! IT TOTALLY WORKED!!!
I did record it, as I like to keep a record of what I use and how I make things so I can go back and reference those ideas and supplies again.
I hope you enjoy watching this super short 4 minute process video. I also hope that this post serves as a reminder of how much art truly can heal and inspire.
I'd love to know how art is therapy for you too. Does it help relieve your physical or emotional pain? I talk to my students about this quite frequently, it is an blessed escape for so so many! If you find comfort from creating, you can absolutely chat with me about it, I'd love to commiserate! If it's too deeply personal, I totally respect that too.
On a lighter note, my Iceland trip was A-MAZE-BALLS. I went with my mom and sister to celebrate my mom's 75th birthday. Glacier hiking, dips in Geothermal Rivers, Volcano Tube exploring, it's all here in this video recap I did from my trip! If you ever wanted to see what Iceland is like, highly recommend you watch the video below!

What Fans Are Saying
Karen, you are absolutely fabulous! You make me feel like I can draw anything. I have recently retired and finally have the time to do some of the art that I have loved since I was in school. I am really at the beginning of my art journey and I hope to learn as much as I can. Thank you for all you do.

After the Conference on September 20-22 a three-day geological excursion will be carried out. The excursion includes two stays for night at the "Krabbe" tourist center, situated at Krabbe Peninsula. The approximate cost is 5000 rubles for each participant.
The excursion will be devoted to the acquaintance with volcanic formations in the rifting depressions of south-west Primorye – Kraskinskaya, Poimenskaya, and Pushkinskaya, demonstrating the features of magmatism manifestation in the zones of sliding of the eastern continental margin of Asia in the Cenozoic time. The excursion participants will get acquainted with volcanic edifices composed of the products of different-depth volcanism (basalts, andesites, rhyolites) and hydrothermal transformation of rocks (zeolitites, ornamental-semi-precious stones).
Managers of the Khasan geological excursion: Dr. Vladimir Popov – leading researcher of the Laboratory of Petrology of Volcanic Formations, and Dr. Alexander Chashchin – senior researcher of the Laboratory of Geochemistry, FEGI, FEB of RAS.
Approximate schedule of the excursion
The first day of the excursion (car-foot). Duration: a full day.
Departure by bus from Vladivostok at 9 a.m. The travelling to the first object takes about 2 hours.
In the Razdol'naya River basin (Pushkinskaya depression) the excursionists will visit the stratotype sections of Ust'-Suifun suite composed of the horizons of coarse gravels and sands alternating with ash-pumice deposits – the products of the catastrophic explosive acid volcanism (burning ash clouds) that manifested itself in the Oligocene-Miocene time on the territory of South-West Primorye.
In the environs of Slavyanka settlement on Mal'tsev Cape (Poimenskaya depression) the participants will see the following features formed in the Late Oligocene-Early Miocene: a cone of the basalt-andesite stratovolcano (in the bank section), extrusive domes of dacites and rhyodacites rising above the sea port, and thick flows of rhyodacite lavas composing Bryus Cape.
Arrival at the "Krabbe" tourist center – at 5 p.m.
Volcanic ashes of Ust'-Suifun suite overlapped by the Neogene basalts, Peschanyi Peninsula (Pushkinskaya depression)
Stone idols in the environs of Slavyanka settlement (Poimenskaya depression)
The second day of the excursion (foot). Duration: 5 to 6 hours.
Krabbe Peninsula. The excursion participants will see different types of volcanic edifices and geological bodies (volcanic necks, extrusive domes, explosive breccias, tuffizites, dikes, lava flows, and pyroclastic deposits) that reflect the features of manifestation of the Eocene bimodal volcanism of the Kraskinskaya rifting depression. They are excellently stripped in the coastal outcrops available for study. The excursionists will be able to get acquainted with the products of the fluid-explosive volcanism (tuffizites) whose outflows on Krabbe Peninsula formed an unusual volcanogenic cuesta relief with the shows of zeolitites and ornamental-semi-precious stones – fluidal and spheroloidal lavas of rhyolites, tuffs, opal, and chalcedony filling the lithophysae in volcanic glasses, and others.
Return to the "Krabbe"
tourist center – at 4 p.m. After supper we suggest to discuss the problems of
the rifting nature and volcanism of the Cenozoic depressions of South-West
Coastal outcrops of Krabbe Peninsula (Kraskinskaya depression)
The third day of the excursion (car-foot). Duration of the excursion is a full day.
Novgorodsky Peninsula and Kraskinskoe coal deposit. In the Posyet settlement area situated on Novgorodsky Peninsula, the excursionists will continue to get acquainted with volcanic formations of Kraskinskaya depression – the covering andesites and breaking them rhyolites and intrusive pyroclastites (tuffizites). In the coastal outcrops of the Expedition Bay and in the area of a coal deposit the excursionists will see the type section of tufogene-sedimentary rocks of Kraskinskaya suite containing a widely known Kraskinskaya flora of the Late Eocene- Early Oligicene age with the well preserved plant imprints.
Return to Vladivostok - at 6 p.m.
More detailed information on the field excursion will be offered later.
Recommendations on the accoutrement for the field excursion:

5. Retractable Lanyard
This is by no means a large gift, but damned if it isn't one of the more useful little gadgets on my vest and has saved me countless times from dropping my nail-knot tool into a river. You might think I'm exaggerating, but I am not. I am currently on my third nail-knot tool, with my first two lying on the bottom of Maramec Spring and the Current River, respectively.
A retractable lanyard simply keeps a tool clipped to your vest and prevents it from plunging into the depths below. Some are better than others, depending on if the string is made from fiber or metal wire, and I have had some break and the spring fail, but these are not expensive and hardly meant to last forever. Perfect gift to include with a card or a stocking-stuffer if you're closer to Christmas.
Available at: T. Hargrove's, Feather-Craft, Your Local Fly Shop
4. Magnetic Net Holder
My magnetic net holder is such a staple of my fishing vest, I honestly don't remember I used before I went out and bought this. Two fairly high power magnets, each with a different polarity, each attach to the back of your vest and your net handle, and when you're not using your net, you simply clip the magnets together, thereby taking the strain off of your net's tether and maintaining the tether for extended future use.
My only issue with this gadget is that often I'm fishing in a hoodie, and when my hood is down, it will block the magnet on my vest, and I will awkwardly try to maneuver my net behind my back until I hear the click of the magnets connecting. This is more user-error than design error though.
Available at: T. Hargrove's, Feather-Craft, Your Local Fly Shop
3. Filet Board
This was another gift from my wife that I never realized I needed, and now I don't know how I lived without. The sturdy flat board includes a large clip that holds the trout's tail in place and allows you to safely use two hands to clean your fish. This is obviously a messy affair, and you don't want to stick a slab of wood in the dishwasher, so I advise cleaning and sanitizing by hand only. This is particularly useful on camping trips if no cleaning station is available, or cleaning is not allowed in the stream.
Available at: Available at: T. Hargrove's, Feather-Craft, Your Local Fly Shop, Walmart, just about any sporting goods store
2. Bags, Boxes, Binders, and Jars
This is more of a gift for hoarders than anything else, but as I continue to tie flies and gather more and more (and more and more) materials to tie them, I'm always struggling to find neat and clean ways to organize the loose and messy materials.
I (like many fly-tiers of old) have found that old cigar boxes make the perfect containers for much of my thread, hooks, and pouches of fur. Amazon will ship many product in fairly sturdy ziplock bags that are much more durable than what I buy at the grocery store. These are perfect for holding feathers. I learned a great trick from Devin Olsen, who stores all of his various dubbing materials in binders full of plastic baseball card insert pages. So simple and yet so brilliant. Glass jars from salsa are great for storing pouches of beads, but mostly I just recycle them to drink out of.
Available at: Your garage and junk drawer. Liquor stores usually will sell you old cigar boxes for a buck or two.
1. Post Fly Subscription
I've written about Post Fly time and time before, and don't plan on stopping any time soon. Emily bought me a six-month subscription to Post Fly for Christmas, and now I'm begging her to renew my subscription for my birthday in May. Post Fly provides an all-in-one subscription box for fly-tying materials. They'll send you everything you need to tie a specific pattern (hooks, threads, feathers, beads, etc.) and a sample fly that you try to mimic tying. They also include instructional videos on their youtube page, but where's the fun in that?
On top of the tying materials, they include a different little gizmo every month (including a retractable lanyard as described above) and one of their sticker designs. I am a sucker for stickers, and struggle for weeks on where the best place is to stick my new Post Fly design.
On top of everything else, they ship the materials in a perfectly shaped sturdy flip-open box, which the pack-rat in my loves storing materials in. It's truly the perfect, compact package for a fly-tier. I cannot sing their praises enough.
Available at: Post Fly
Leave a comment below with any other fly-fishing gifts you enjoy. I'm always looking for future gifts to unsubtly suggest to my wife.

On the one side, a handful of critics, largely those predisposed in advance to distrust him, have questioned the president's motives. On the other hand, the base remains so invested in the president's innocence that less than half of all Republicans believe even the incriminating facts Trump has already confessed. Straddling the precarious middling ground between lunatic denial and recognizing the obvious are such organs as The Wall Street Journal editorial page.
The Journal's editorial page has tried to nudge the administration more closely into compliance with normal Executive branch practices, without applying the sort of pressure that would force any such action. Today's editorial is a perfect example of this balancing act. The Journal pleads with Trump to increase his transparency, arguing that it would advance his own best interests to make public any secret contacts.
Nowhere in the editorial does the Journal consider the possibility that Trump and his inner circle have lied systematically about the contacts with Russia because they have something to hide. "Whatever short-term political damage this might cause couldn't be worse than the death by a thousand cuts of selective leaks, often out of context, from political opponents in Congress or the special counsel's office," the editorial asserts. But what if the truth is really bad? The Journal does not say.
"If there really is nothing to the Russia collusion allegations," the editorial posits, "transparency will prove it." That is true! But what if, as now appears overwhelmingly probable, there isn't nothing to the Russia collusion allegation? Well, the editorial doesn't say. It just moves on to other questions.
There are concrete ways to force Trump to engage in transparency. The most obvious is to urge House Republicans to drop their blockade of a Democratic proposal to compel the release of Trump's tax returns. The Journal doesn't recommend this, or mention the issue at all. The cause of transparency is left to Trump's own goodwill. "He and his family," the editorial laments, "seem oblivious to the brutal realities of Washington politics." The poor naïfs, hiding their Russia connections for no apparent reason.

Newswise — New research published today suggests that chemicals commonly used in consumer products are being absorbed by pregnant mothers and their newborns. The study, a collaboration between investigators at The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center® at Hackensack Meridian Health Hackensack University Medical Center (Hackensack, NJ) and Rutgers University, appears to be the first study to explore in utero exposure to bisphenol-A (BPA) substitutes and the first U.S. study to test for BPA in maternal/fetal pairs.
The use of BPA has widely been replaced in consumer products in recent years by substitute chemicals BPB, BPE, BPF, BPS, and BPAF. Recent studies have linked these substitutes to similar adverse health outcomes as BPA, including disruption of endocrine pathways in animal and human studies. Investigators from the Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI) at Rutgers University created a novel method to detect BPA, BPB, BPE, BPF, BPS, and BPAF in human blood and urine to quantify potential in utero exposures. BPA is a common ingredient in polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins used in products such as food packaging, thermal receipts, and dental sealants. In 2012-2013, the U.S. eliminated BPA from baby bottles and the linings of infant formula cans, often switching to BPA substitutes. Many polycarbonate products, from water bottles to children's toys, are marketed as "BPA-free" but use BP substitutes that were tested in this study.
The novel testing method was run on 30 paired maternal urine and fetal cord blood samples from mothers undergoing elective Caesarean sections. Ninety percent of mothers and 77 percent of babies tested positive for at least one BP chemical. "These findings are of great concern for our most vulnerable little ones. We must continue to investigate what risks these chemicals pose for moms and babies," says Lawrence Rosen, MD, integrative pediatrician and one of the paper's authors.
Additionally, the study showed that 83 percent of mothers tested positive for BPAF, 60 percent for BPS, 57 percent for BPB, 17 percent for BPF and 7 percent for BPA. Fifty-seven percent of babies tested positive for BPAF and 50 percent for BPF. BPA and BPB were detected in one cord blood sample each. BPS was not detected in cord blood. BPE was not detected in any fetal cord blood or maternal urine samples. "Identifying how many individuals have measurable levels of a chemical is one way we estimate exposure and this new analytical method was created for just that purpose. This was the first study to look at BPA alternatives in this population and I look forward to follow-up toxicological studies to get a true understanding of potential risk," says Brian T. Buckley, PhD, executive director of Laboratories and Administration at Rutgers University's Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute, who collaborated on the study.
"We need to protect mothers and newborns from chemical exposures by encouraging moms to avoid exposures whenever practical, such as switching to glass and stainless steel food and beverage containers. Simple steps can make a difference," says Deirdre Imus, founder and president of The Deirdre Imus Environmental Health Center® at Hackensack University Medical Center, which sponsored the study.
The study, titled "Application of a novel mass spectrometric (MS) method to examine exposure to Bisphenol-A and common substitutes in a maternal fetal cohort," was published in Human and Ecological Risk Assessment.

Caleb Swartz is a Trek Cyclocross Collective rider from Madison, Wisconsin participating in the USA Cycling Winter Euro Cross Camp. Swartz traveled to Europe for a leg of the Euro Cross Camp earlier this fall where he got the opportunity to race at Zonhoven and Valkenburg. He has been blogging about his racing career for several years, but sent in this post for Cyclocross Magazine about Sunday's UCI World Cup race at the Citadel of Namur.
This current trip to Europe is actually my second this season. My first trip was earlier this year to race the Valkenburg World Cup and some other events. I didn't accomplish what I wanted then, which really motivated me to train hard and come back for some great results.
Leading up to Sunday's race at Namur, things were relaxed but focused at the USA Cycling compound. We stay in what was once a psychiatric facility which has been turned into an Olympic village-style training compound. With a bike garage, dining hall, full cyclocross and mountain bike trails, weight room and more. I have everything I need to live and train like I would at home in Wisconsin (except for the snow, of course).
On Saturday many of us drove to Namur to preview the course. It was a little surreal to drive up the switchbacks around a castle surrounded by dense fog and finally see the famous course. Pre-riding the course at Namur was amazing. I felt great and tried to dial in the slew of technical sections.
I watched as many YouTube videos from the race as I could, but of course, it was completely different ripping around the course in real life. Many sections of the course consisted of slick mud and pavement along with rocks, roots, and gravel, which made it very treacherous.
Caleb Swartz's Namur Cyclocross World Cup Course Recon Video:
On the way home I started to feel what I thought was motion sickness. When we arrived back in Sittard I was still feeling nauseous. I laid in bed until 9:00 pm, when I finally gave in and headed to the bathroom. Having just lost everything I'd eaten that day, I cooked some eggs and went to bed for a restless night of sleep.
The next morning my stomach still felt a little off, but I refused to miss this opportunity and piled into the van at 6:00 am. During warm up I could tell things were not going to be pretty. Not only were my legs completely empty but the rest of my body was utterly exhausted and devoid of energy.
I lined up ready to suffer, but when we hit the steep cobbles on the first lap, I was already in the box. From there I slid back through the field until I was waved off the course by an official after lap four. I was definitely disgusted and disappointed in my misfortune and result but there was nothing to be done about it. Although things didn't go my way, it was still an amazing experience and I am grateful to have even made it to the start line.
Our down time this week leading up to Diegem has consisted of trips into town, excessive ping-pong and plenty of Netflix. We have lots of fun, but everything is structured around our training, meals and race prep. I am stoked for Diegem and especially Zolder!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my next installment.
I'd like to give a huge thank you to USA Cycling for making this trip happen and facilitating everything. Big thanks to my coach Joseph Maloney, my family, and my team, Trek Cyclocross Collective for all the support! Also many thanks to my sponsors Trek Bicycles, Bontrager, SRAM, Englewood Grass Fed Beef, Mike's Mix and Honey Stinger for all their awesome support!

I presented a couple of sales and operations planning (S&OP) workshops at our Kinexions user conference this week. One of my sessions focused on how the ability to "connect" supply and demand planning in S&OP can result in faster and more accurate S&OP planning cycles. Let's think about the traditional S&OP world. Most companies have a demand planning system where they create statistical forecasts, maybe the marketing team creates a forecast, perhaps the sales team.... they may even bring in customer forecasts. Through some process or another, they create a single demand plan and these demand requirements are then pushed over to the supply side. The supply planning team then start developing what they hope is an achievable supply plan. In traditional ERP systems, they gauge doability by using end item build rates and bills of resources to "estimate" supply needs against a small number of key components, resources, and suppliers. Eventually, through give and take negotiations, the supply planning team and the demand planning team can achieve agreement on the plan and this is presented to senior management. Once approved, the production plan is entered into ERP, requirements are exploded through the "real" BOMs and a true picture of what is needed and what is available can now be seen. Sounds reasonable, right? We've been doing it this way for years! Let's take a look at where things can go wrong; The first area of concern is that the bill of resources approach to rough cut capacity planning is just that...rough. By definition, you are looking at just a subset of your resources and components. Look at your own key resources and components. Have you ever had issues with non-key items? Of course you have! Also, how accurate is your bill of resources? BOMs change all the time. Does your bill of resources keep up with these changes? So while your S&OP plan may appear doable at the high level, once you actually start detailed planning, you often find that your plan isn't doable after all. The other problem is that traditional S&OP processes assume that you will only need to evaluate a single demand plan. This is probably fine for very simple supply chains, however, what if you have two demand plans that you need to evaluate? What if your executive team wants to see a supply plan that supports a demand plan both with and without a sales promotion? Some companies will plan three scenarios; a baseline (what is likely), an optimistic, and a pessimistic view. All of which require a doable supply plan. So what's the answer? Let's play a little "what-if." What if you could….
- Create a new demand plan (or several) and instantly see how this new plan would impact your supply chain down to the smallest component?
- Drive your supply plan from any forecast stream (sales, statistical, marketing, customer, pessimistic, optimistic) or combination of streams?
- Change which forecast drove your supply chain and evaluate the impacts?
- Visualize these plans against the same key corporate metrics you use to run your business?
- Compare various plans against each other AND against your annual targets?
- See a problem at the sales and operations level, and were able to drill down until you found the problem, no matter how far down the supply chain the problem exists?
Got you interested? Keep a lookout for my next post where we explore what is needed to make this happen.

Matt Kracht
PB, 178 x 127 mm, 192 p
E edition
This is an English book.
Let's face it:all birds are fascinating, wonderful, idiotic jerks,no matter where in the world they reside.
Following in the footsteps of the bestselling book The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America, this hilarious sequel ventures beyond to identify the stupidest birds around the world. Featuring birds from North and South America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Oceania, author Matt Kracht identifies the dumb birds that manage to live all over the freaking place with snarky, yet accurate, names and humorous, anger-filled drawings.
This guide book details exactly how much these morons suck with facts about each bird's (annoying) call, its (stupid) migratory pattern, and its (downright tacky) markings. Complete with a matching game, bird descriptor checklist, tips on how to identify a bird (you can tell a lot by looking into a bird's eyes, for example), this profanity-laden book offers a balance of fact and wit that will appeal to hardcore birders and casual bird lovers (and haters) alike.

The search continues for a new Wake Forest football coach, five days after Jim Grobe resigned after 13 years of service to Wake Forest. Here is a recap of the week's events, and what we know so far.
Jim Grobe resigns, making it official at a 4:15 press conference at Deacon Tower. In a conversation with Director of Athletics Ron Wellman, J.P. Mundy is told that Wake Forest will not "rush into a mistake" and that there is no timeline for this coaching search. Wellman also tells Mundy that he keeps an updated list of desirable coaching candidates every year, as part of his standard procedure.
Going off a message board post, BSD finds a flight plan on FlightAware that shows a private plane flying from Winston-Salem to Muncie, Indiana. Having already been informed that prominent booster Richard Budd is letting Wellman use his plane, BSD begins investigating flight details. The plane flies to Muncie and then heads to Rock Hill, SC for the evening before flying to Maryland the next day. The plane remains parked there as of this posting.
BSD confirms through a source on the ground in Muncie that the flight from Winston-Salem indeed deposited Ron Wellman. Local and national newspaper reports surface shortly afterward, further confirming BSD's information.
Wellman meets with Ball State University coach Pete Lembo. While rumors swirl, BSD finds out that Wellman is scheduled to go to Detroit, presumably to watch coach Dave Clawson coach Bowling Green in Friday's MAC Championship against Northern Illinois. BSD confirms late Thursday that, despite any talks taking place with Lembo, Wellman is still scheduled to arrive in Detroit on Friday.
Amidst heightening Lembo-to-Wake rumors, BSD confirms that Wellman is in Detroit. Bowling Green upsets Northern Illinois, prompting the following quotes during Clawson's postgame presser (h/t Martin Rickman, SI.com):
"You can build for seasons or you can build programs," Clawson said. "People were trying to run us out of town three years ago because we were 2-10. At that point we were redshirting players and we were trying to lay the foundation because when we got good we wanted to stay good. A lot of people aren't allowed to do that. I'm very fortunate I have a president and an athletic director that allowed us to build a program the right way so it can sustain itself. We're good this year, we just won a championship and i think we're built to be good for a long time."
"We're going to enjoy tonight. There was rumors a couple years ago that i was getting fired and you guys were asking me that question, and now that we're winning you're going to ask that question. I don't hate you for asking that there's other things. I don't appreciate the question right now. I know you have to ask it but there's no comment on that."
A reliable BSD source indicated that Clawson had probably already had discussions with Wake Forest. That is not improbable, based on Wellman's strong ties to Bowling Green. It is not clear when those discussions may have taken place.
Keep checking back for updates as news happens.

This time of year, the ground is bursting with Violets. Our Violet yard is brilliant, a sea of purple with a scattering of yellow from the Dandelions. My oldest daughter's favorite jelly is Violet jelly, so much so that she will spend the hour or two required to crawl over the yard to carefully harvest the blooms. Many people have asked for our recipe, so I've decided to go ahead and share it with my subscribers. This is our version of the recipe that can also be found many places online. This recipe can be doubled, as we often do, to make more at one time. Each batch will yield about 8 – 8 oz jars of jelly.
You will need:
4 cups of Violet blossoms
4 cups boiling water
1/2 cup lemon juice
1 package liquid pectin
8 cups sugar – if you want the pretty purple color, you have to use white sugar. Organic cane sugar will still give the jelly a brownish tint.
Place the blossoms in a half gallon jar and pour the boiling water over them. Let them steep for about 12 hours. We generally do this the day before then strain them the next day. They can steep for up to 24 hours.
Strain off the blossoms and pour the liquid into a small stockpot. Add the lemon juice to the infusion and stir. Before we do this, we get our jelly jars set in a large stockpot to sterilize. You can add a few inches of water to the bottom and then place the lid on. Once the water comes to a boil, let it boil for at least 10 minutes to steam sterilize your jars. Lids can be placed in a saucepan of hot water but don't need to be boiled.
Bring the Violet infusion to a boil. While it is heating, add the pectin and stir to combine. Once the mixture comes to a boil, add the sugar. Continue to boil, skimming off the foam as needed. When the mixture begins to thicken and gel (test by lifting your stirring spoon from the pot and watching for the drip to set) you are ready to fill your jars.
Carefully remove the jars from the pot and place a funnel over the first one. Fill to about 1/4″ from the top. Carefully wipe the top of the jar and sides where the ring will sit. Place the lids and rings on and tighten. Set the jar on the counter and continue to fill each jar until they are all full.
Jars should 'ping' rather quickly as they seal. Jelly generally sets as it cools. If a jar doesn't seal, place it in the fridge and use it first. I've never had a problem with one of them not setting though…
This recipe originally appeared in the April 2009 ebook from Herbal Roots zine.

Alexander Zhulin: "Trusova is an absolute athlete. She reminds me of Yagudin"
Alexander Zhulin told about the reasons why girls lose quadruple jumps by the age of 18, compared Alexandra Trusova with Alexei Yagudin and attitude towards Russian athletes abroad.
by sportrbc.ru dd. 18th November 2020
Eteri Tutberidze's student Sofia Akatieva, at the age of 13, was the first in history to cleanly perform two quadruple jumps and a triple axel in one program. After her performance, you noted that it is very difficult for girls to keep ultra-c until the conditional 19 years old. Tell me, what is the basis for such an opinion?
Alexander Zhulin: And who managed to keep?
Liza Tuktamysheva not only kept, but also added a quadruple toe loop.
Alexander Zhulin: Liza – yes. But so far she tried the quad at competitions only once and it did not work out. So for today it is very difficult to say. 19 years is already such an age … Before 17 is another case, here I can still agree that everything can be kept till this age. After it's already difficult. But perhaps everything will come to this.
Maybe the age will also be raised. It'll be easier with a competition.
Alexander Zhulin: By the way, yes. Or they will come up with something else. But so far, as we can see, all who jump quadruples are 15-16-year-old girls. Maximum – 17.
Rika Kihira is actively complicate her programs, she's also over 17.
Alexander Zhulin: It seems to me, she will definitely not "survive" till the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.
Why? She is short, stocky – according to anthropometry, an ideal jumper.
Alexander Zhulin: That's right, but she is already turning from a child into a young girl, this is already more difficult. Whoever lasts longer in this, let's say, not puberty age, will succeed.
On the other hand, we see the opposite examples. For example Alexandra Trusova has grown a lot over the past year, but it seems that everything is alright with her quads.
Alexander Zhulin: Sasha Trusova is just fantastic. If she keeps all this until the Olympics … I won't say that she will be the main favorite, but one of the main favorites to win for sure. She is very hard working and not used to giving up, so if it continues like that – she is a very serious competitor for everyone.
At the same time, Sasha is the opposite of the typical mass media's image of slender girls doing ultra-c due to their fast rotation and small weight.
Alexander Zhulin: That is why she is called a phenomenon. She has her own story – she is a wonderful athlete who does many jumps, adding a lot of physical strength to them. Due to this, she can compensate some "dips" on the element, if they happen. Yagudin was the same.
He could at some moments not get into the take off, fall out of the axis, but save it due to his strength, character, great desire. He knew how to focus when it was needed most. Including due to this, he became an Olympic champion.
Sasha reminds me of Yagudin – in his approach to sports, even in physique. She is an absolute athlete. Maybe if she removes this triple lutz – triple loop combination, which she fails from program to program, and replaces it with a clean triple lutz – double loop or a triple axel, then she can completely exclude falls.
But here's the thing. She falls not because she skates poorly, but because she takes very great risks. This is her strong point, trump card, philosophy. Therefore, here Sasha and her coaches know better what she needs. Perhaps it will be necessary to put five quads into the program, and even if she falls from one of them, no one will get closer to her. She works on the limit of her capabilities, and realizing that she, perhaps, lacks a little in the second mark, she takes it with the technique. And so far she is very good at it.
Regarding the technique, recently for some reason Sasha's started to have problems with the edge on the triple flip – even the judges began to put marks in the protocols. Why might this be happening?
Alexander Zhulin: This is a difficult technical question. Surely Evgeni Plushenko knows about this problem and they will solve it. But I don't see any technical mistakes, and I cannot say that her technique has become worse due to the fact that, it seems to me, the absolutely outstanding coach Eteri Georgievna Tutberidze taught her everything. And the outstanding athlete [Plushenko] continued. They know all the exercises, how to lead to the jumps. So it would be foolish to expect that Sasha's technique will deteriorate after the transfer.
But in general, I will say this: if you have already memorized the outside edge on the flip, it is quite difficult to fix it. The same situation was with Zhenya Medvedeva and her lutz. Many people worked with her on the edge. This is a whole technical story that doesn't come easily.
It seems that it hasn't worked out With Zhenya yet.
Alexander Zhulin: You see, it can work in training. But, unfortunately, at the competitions, when you just have to make this element no matter what, old flaws come out. It's not easy to change. The old technique comes back…
Even in ice dance it is very difficult to change the technique of, let's say, a counter. And here we talk about jump.
Well, you just cry the blues. I have heard so many stories how it's hard for singles and pair skaters to do step sequences that dancers perform easily.
Alexander Zhulin: And we just have nothing else to do (laughs). We only work on steps, spins and lifts. Therefore, sometimes ice dancers perform step sequences and spins better than pair skaters, but we do not do any jumps or throws.
And you don't need all this. Ice dance is very beautiful.
Alexander Zhulin: So that's why it's beautiful (laughs). Just to each his own. If the jumps are removed from the pair skating and they only deal with spins and step sequnces, over time their skills will also grow.
I remember you were quite pessimistic about the prospect of holding the World and European Championships this season. As far as I understand, nothing has changed?
Alexander Zhulin: It seems to me that since the Four Continents Championships has been canceled, then 99% that the European championship will be also canceled. But as for the Worlds, there is a very serious question in terms of financial losses for both ISU and television. I think they will do everything possible and impossible for the Worlds to take place. But the question is where it will be hold and what to do with border crossing.
If the period of the pandemic at that time is serious, and the number of cases is huge, then I do not exclude any scenarios. Let's imagine that the competition will take place in Sweden as planned. In this case, it may happen that Americans, Canadians, Japanese and others won't come. Then it is already the prerogative of ISU – to determine whether it is necessary to hold the World Championships without leading countries. Given such a situation, I do not exclude that it will also be canceled. But again, they will fight for this event.
We are all depend on the coronavirus now. How long it will last, no one knows. Every day brings something new. In this regard, it is very difficult to motivate athletes – still they read the press, surf the Internet.
If other leading countries do not go to the World Championships, the situation will be approximately the same as with the European Championship: the complete superiority of our skaters. Do you think the same European Championships, where the Russians win all the gold, is not profitable?
Alexander Zhulin: I think that with a huge "love" for Russians, it may be easier to cancel it than to watch Trusova, Shcherbakova, Vika and Nikita and others. Papadakis and Cizeron have already announced that they will not go to the European Championships.
Maybe they afraid?
Alexander Zhulin: Well no. Maybe they are tired or can't find motivation. After all, they have also been skating for a long time. Well it's not my business – chips fall where they may. We still have the Grand Prix stage in Moscow, after which we will prepare for the Russian Nationals. And then – God blesses, something will change.

One response to "Alexander Zhulin: "Trusova is an absolute athlete. She reminds me of Yagudin""
The Western governments will FORCE vaccinate, very tyrannical, to implement their totalitarian agenda. If Moscow is smart, they will fill their shots with saline solution. The virus, if it truly exists, is no more deadly than the common cold.

Anxiety affects more than 40 million people nationwide. However, if this weren't bad enough, a new study's findings suggest that older people experiencing its effects may be at higher risk of developing Alzheimer's.
That's because, according to researchers, anxiety has a link to beta-amyloid – a protein that has a strong association with Alzheimer's disease.
This is significant, as beta-amyloid creates "plaques," which can block communication between cells in the brain.
These "plaques" are one of the most significant symptoms of this disease. And research suggests that an increase in beta-amyloid levels can happen up to 10 years before Alzheimer's symptoms show up in a person.
According to Medical News Today:
"The research included 270 adults between age 62 and 90, with normal cognitive functioning, all of whom underwent positron emission tomography at study baseline and annually during 5 years of follow-up, in order to determine levels of beta-amyloid in their brains.
Symptoms of anxiety and depression among the adults were assessed using the 30-item Geriatric Depression Scale."
The researchers found that adults showing an increase in anxiety levels over five years of follow-ups also had higher levels of beta-amyloid present in their brains.
According to the researchers, this is an indication that worsening levels of anxiety may have a correlation with the onset of Alzheimer's disease.

In most spheres of life, whether in politics or business or anything else, when trying to predict what will happen in an uncertain situation you usually have some kind of solid foundation from which to project. The thing that makes it so hard to forecast where things will go with parliament and Brexit is that there are no firm assumptions from which to build. The combination of the PM's determination to hold an election, Labour's refusal to do so until no deal is off the table combined with the SNP's newfound resolve to topple Boris Johnson potentially takes this uncertainty to new heights, or depths. Could we see Conservative MPs whipped to vote that they do not have confidence in their government, and the official Opposition whipped to vote that they do? (more…)

As long-time timber suppliers in Brisbane, one of the most gratifying parts of this job is knowing that we are having a positive impact on the environment. Timber is the building material which is the most beneficial to the environment, both in the growing process and in building energy-efficient buildings. Timber is now the preferred building material for low-energy construction standards. It consumes the smallest amount of non-renewable energy and it provides the most thermal protection to a building.
Growing Timber: the Environmental Benefits
The carbon footprint is the main measuring stick used to determine a building material's effect on the environment. The carbon footprint is a measurement of how much carbon is released into the environment when making and transporting a building material.
Steel and aluminium require a lot of heat and energy to create and fabricate. The process of making either creates pollutants that are harmful to the environment. All of this makes for a large carbon footprint because a lot of carbon is released into the environment.
When timber is being grown, it "inhales" CO2. It turns the carbon into timber and releases the oxygen back into the environment. This actually produces a negative carbon footprint. Also, the only real "fabricating" that has to be done with timber is with a saw. That does not take a lot of energy or burn a lot of carbon.
Timber: the Insulator
In addition, timber is a great natural insulator which improves the energy efficiency and therefore the environmental impact of buildings. Timber is a natural insulator. Timber buildings weigh less than steel buildings. They allow for faster response to heat or cold because timber doesn't absorb or radiate heat. It doesn't take as much heat to heat timber house and it doesn't take as much air conditioning to cool a timber house.

We have timber for small projects such as sheds or large projects such as homes. To learn more or to place an order, call us today: (07) 3888 1293.

When we face bumps in the road, we have different reactions (was it my fault?, why the h*** did he/she do this? and we chose responses (what is the constructive way to solve this?).
Our success will depend on the "magnitude" of our reaction and the time until response:
(1) Something negative happened to us. It feels good to stay in this mode for a short time. But the more time we spend wondering, regreting about what? and Why? the less we will be able to figure out how to move on. Allow yourself for a very short time complaining. Then, stop moaning, plan, act: solve it and get going. Leave negativity behind.
(2) Someone acted in a way (made, said, wrote….) we didn't like. The less time between reaction and response, the lower the probability of success. So, wait, do not send that email yet, do not make that phone call inmediately or do not explode during the meeting. Calm down, act being constructive and get going. Leave the negative feelings behind.
(3) We were requested to deliver something but we have no clue what is the approach or we have not come up with any brilliant idea yet. Well, here procrastination might help (if we are not under a tight schedule). When we stop worrying, focusing too much and direct our effort and attention to different topics, all in the sudden THAT brilliant idea emerges from "nowhere". This is when it's time to use all that "finally-I-came-up-with-something" positive energy in responding by creating something amazing.
We do not control everything that occurs to us, but (as we have said many times before) we are responsible for the way we respond.
Would you be able to translate these 3 modes into a formula?

Matthew Betley took the political thriller world by storm earlier this year when his debut novel, Overwatch, drew comparisons to early work from legendary authors like Brad Thor and the late Vince Flynn.
One of the reasons for those comparisons is because Betley is signed to Atria Books (a division of Simon & Schuster), which is also the publishing home of Flynn's Mitch Rapp (now written by Kyle Mills), and Thor's Scot Harvath series. However, Betley's talent speaks for itself, and he's become one of the most promising up-and-coming authors in recent memory.
Overwatch introduced readers to Logan West, Betley's new series protagonist. West is a former Marine who, when we first meet him, is battling alcoholism and PTSD. Creating such a flawed character and pulling it off the way Betley did is no easy task. But by doing so, Logan is someone readers instantly relate to and connect with, which makes following him as he inadvertently finds himself in a global race against the clock to track down and stop a terrorist group who is trying to draw the United States into a war, all the more compelling.
If you haven't read Overwatch yet, you're not just missing out on this year's best debut novel, you're missing one of the best political thrillers of 2016, period. Change that, and order your copy today!
For those who've read Overwatch and are counting down the days until the next book comes out, here's a little something to hold you over. First, scroll down to see the plot details, then keep scrolling to check out the cover art. (Spoiler: It looks amazing!)
Oath of Honor, the explosive second novel in Matthew Betley's Logan West series, hits bookstores on March 14, 2017, and is already available for pre-order wherever books are sold.
From the publisher:
"A break-neck, edge-of-your-seat thriller that moves from the Aleutian Islands to North Korean spy ships to secret Sudanese prisons as former Marines Logan West and John Quick, now members of an FBI special task force, uncover a global conspiracy that threatens America's position in the current international balance of power.
Logan West and John Quick are sent to Dutch Harbor, Alaska, to investigate the possible presence of a Russian black ops team on a mission to steal United States next-generation technology. The resulting violent confrontation triggers a global search for the stolen technology and threatens to pit the US against China in a looming shadow war and technology race. As Logan and John—joined by the chief of the CIA's Special Operations Group, Cole Matthews—battle their way through Spain, the Mediterranean, and ultimately, across Sudan, an imminent threat arises at home that FBI Deputy Director Mike Benson must face and determine if it is part of the deadly global conspiracy.
Oath of Honor is an intense and gripping follow-up to former Marine Matthew Betley's "brilliantly conceived" (Clive Cussler) Overwatch and solidifies his place among the greatest contemporary thriller writers."

Firefox to warn users when visiting breached websites [source: welivesecurity]
by CIRT Team
The Firefox web browser is looking to alert visitors whenever they visit a website that is known to have suffered a data breach.
While the 'Breach Alerts' feature will issue a warning about a website, it won't actually prevent users from visiting it.
"This is an extension that I'm going to be using as a vehicle for prototyping basic UI and interaction flow for an upcoming feature in Firefox that notifies users when their credentials have possibly been leaked or stolen in a data breach," according to Nihanth Subramanya, a developer with Mozilla, the browser's makers, writing on his GitHub repository.
The in-browser warnings, which are currently being piloted, will rely on data provided by Have I Been Pwned? (HIBP), a website that tracks data breaches and tells users if their personal details have been exposed.
Security researcher Troy Hunt, the brains behind HIBP, confirmed the reports. "Firefox is just looking at which sites have been breached and we're discussing other ways of using the data in the future," he is quoted as saying by Engadget. "They've got a broad reach and surfacing this info via Firefox is a great way to get more exposure around data breaches."

During Twitter's Q3 earnings call, CEO Jack Dorsey was joined by COO Adam Bain and CFO Anthony Noto. The call was broadcasted live on Periscope for the second straight time.
Growth didn't appease Wall Street, but it's early days for some of Twitter's latest product changes, including Moments and Polls. The company continues to tout the over billion people who are reached with tweets via means other than being logged in, like when they're embedded on publisher's sites.
[graphiq id="7N9fhkdV1o9″ title="Twitter Inc. (TWTR) Stock Price – Current Day" width="600″ height="519″ url="https://w.graphiq.com/w/7N9fhkdV1o9″ link="http://listings.findthecompany.com/l/445483/Twitter-Inc-in-San-Francisco-CA" link_text="Twitter Inc. (TWTR) Stock Price – Current Day | FindTheCompany"]
Dorsey explained how the company is building teams with new leads around its core products, including Twitter, Periscope and Vine. While the company is still engineering and design heavy, Dorsey says the company is still hiring (despite recent staff cuts).
Regarding one of the latest product releases, Moments, Dorsey says that the company is happy with its performance, but didn't give any numbers or metrics that would paint a picture either way. The focus on Moments are getting people into them as soon as they open the app. I dubbed Moments "Project Glacier," due to the fact that it intends to slow down the real-time nature of Twitter, allowing non-hardcore users to keep up. If that is cashed in on, the glacier will start moving and growth will increase.
Dorsey was quite open, again, about how difficult it is to use Twitter now:
We make people do a bunch of work to find accounts to follow. With Moments you can see what's most meaningful.
The group briefly dipped into talking about how communities can be connected around topics like #BlackLivesMatter, but nothing specific was shared as far as new product ideas or displaying content differently.
To support all of its renewed product focus, Dorsey said that Twitter will be pushing TV commercials out during the World Series, starting tonight. We imagine that those commercials will highlight the new "easier to use" side of the service, as well as include a peek at the humanity that is at its core. It's not the first time the company has had a commercial, with the first coming in 2012 to promote its relationship with Nascar and another in support of the London Olympics. Its most recent touted its relationship with IBM.

If you would like more information on hiring a qualified NCS for your newborn contact The Nanny Joynt today! email@example.com
Get to know Melody!
Why did you choose to focus your career on Newborn Care?
I having always loved infants, everything about them, when I was offered a position to be a full time NCS with a family I new right away that this aspect of my career was going to be amazing! I originally had no idea about NCS but now I'm beyond grateful that I'm able to serve families in a very huge part of their lives! Giving families the gift of rest is so awesome I have seen families transformed!
What do you have to offer families who are expecting a baby?
The most important aspect of my job is to give the families especially mom peace of mind! When the family is able to rest and mom knows that she can trust you her stress level goes down! I also enjoy educating moms in a gentle way about lessons that I have learnt along the way! Sleep training the baby/babies are a huge part of what I do and offer but more to that is creating consistency, organization as well as setting the family up for success! I offer joy, compassion, understanding and exude an attitude of utmost love for what I do…. Some may call this a job …. I call this my passion.
Why should families hire a newborn care specialist?
I believe that having a NCS is an absolute must for families! A NCS wears so many hats that is so valuable for families! Giving the family rest is first and foremost and this in itself transforms families, happier mom and dad. The knowledge that we have with infants and been around different clients is such an investment that we pass along as we go from client to client! Sometimes it's basic questions from what products do we recommend for baby to more in depth sleep training tools…. Giving moms especially a sense of support while her body heals is also another way that we give to our clients!
