Is it just me, or has the last decade seen an increasingly bitter arms race for caffeine products? Much like iPods, each new generation of caffeinated drinks and supplements have been cramming more powerful punches into ever smaller packages. But with the 5-Hour Energy Shot and its ilk slimming an energy jolt into just a couple ounces, what new territory is left to conquer? Well, Sprayable Energy has entered the caffeine race.
Entrepreneur Ben Yu has come forth with a bold answer: Sprayable Energy. At the tender age of 21, Yu has managed to synthesize and bottle a sprayable form of caffeine. Four sprays applied to the skin purportedly give you a buzz similar to a cup of coffee. According to the company, absorption through the skin gives the user a more potent and sustained rush, while also smoothing out the widely feared post-coffee crash.
The central appeal of Sprayable Energy – besides its novel ingestion method – seems to be its promise of a smoother, cleaner, more sustained buzz. This has been the vaunted turf that energy supplements have been fighting over the past few years, and it's clear that the public does indeed want to avoid that much-maligned "2:30 feeling." Of course, there often seems to be a subtext in the marketing of these high-octane energy supplements. "No crash" and "a smoother buzz" are great, but consumers (read: teenagers) are also looking for the product that will allow them to get as wired as humanly possible without having a nervous breakdown and/or heart palpitations. And hey, what's an easier way to do that than doffing yourself with a few quick sprays on the drive to work?
Sprayable Energy is the first product born out of libertarian billionaire Peter Thiel's $100,000 College Dropout Challenge, which Yu won a few years back. It's still early in the game – and it's certainly no cure for cancer – but the young entrepreneur just might be onto something. After all, the popular demand for smaller, faster, and stronger energy boosts shows no signs of abating anytime soon.

According to Oscar Wilde, "there is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." Although the Victorian wit probably never worked in a bike shop, he could have been giving advice to the retail trade.
Talk to any LBS and they'll tell you about the challenge of building a positive reputation in their area and holding on to it. Advertising can be expensive, and despite the promise of salespeople, it can be hard to reach exactly the sort of customers you want walking through your door.
A strong local PR plan takes work but can ensure that you are front of mind when your target punter is thinking about spending. And the essence of PR is that what other people say about you is much more impactful that what you say about yourself in adverts.
The key thing to remember is that once is rarely enough. The average human is said to need to hear news up to seven times before it penetrates, so your annual press release about a new store or the arrival of a new bike brand is not going to cut through.
The trick is to identify for a few months ahead a programme of events that you can talk about. It could be an event involving the local mayor, a Dr Bike session on the high street, sponsorship of the youth section of the local road club or supporting a nearby audax. The objective is to find something that will get people talking about you on a regular basis. Crucially, many people forget to have a clear message that they repeat over and over again. We laugh at politicians who stick to a recurring mantra, but it works!
A message is more than a slogan; it's an idea that you want to be remembered for. It might be your support for local performance athletes or a passion for getting ordinary people onto two wheels. Everything you say or do publicly should reinforce a consistent idea in the public mind.
For example, if you stand for community participation, you are more likely to be contacting the local press about the hospital's fundraising bike ride than offering nutritional advice to triathletes. A shop that majors on repairs might be offering Facebook tips on basic maintenance.
Local media are often understaffed and lack the resources to come out and listen to your views on the world. However, offer them some regular content that doesn't sound too much like self promotion and you may have a friend for life. A chat to the editor of the local press might get you writing a monthly column about all things cycling or contributing reports from the club you support.
The beauty of social media is the opportunities it offers you to be talked about. Every town has multiple Facebook groups whose participants will love your photos of the start of the local charity event – Instagram is the perfect home for inspiring images from local rides. And if you can get your friends talking about you even better!
Encourage customers to share their images from recent rides or their cycling tips in the local area. Perhaps your Twitter feed can scoop up any local references to cycling or related issues. If there is a prolific Tweeter or Facebook poster locally perhaps they might be interested in advice about security or help preparing for their next sportive? Maybe the Facebook group would like frequent tips on local rides which happen to start and finish outside your front door?
It all starts with the message and a calendar! Once you have identified how you want to be known, think through activities you could do on a monthly basis and how much work could be involved. A PR plan needs to have a sensible and sustainable level of activity rather than being a flash in the pan. Getting people to think of your business first need not be challenging; it just takes a consistent approach to spreading the word.

In this edition of Analyzing Tableau and Power BI we get a chance to sit down with Sekou Tyler to discuss his thoughts on one of the hottest topics in BI right now: Tableau and Power BI. Sekou truly is a jack of all trades when it comes to BI as he is fluent in SQL, Tableau, and Power BI. He has definitely been an inspiration to me to venture into other tools, so I am extremely excited to get to hear his thoughts on this hot topic!
Hey Sekou, glad to see you! Thanks so much for taking your time to talk with us about this very very hot topic that is the seemingly never ending back and forth between Tableau & Power BI. I am very much looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the topics below, but before we get into the heavy stuff, let's start with some introductions.
Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into data analytics.
First, I would like to say thanks for inviting me to your blog Spencer. You always put out quality content so i'm honored to be a guest. I got my start in IT by working on the help desk, and I was constantly solving problems while delivering customer service to the end user. I was able to get promoted to a process improvement analyst where I was responsible for finding trends and insights from our call data.
While in that role I learned the basics of SQL, but I decided that I wanted to focus on getting better at SQL so I accepted a new role as Healthcare Analyst. In that role I learned more SQL and also learned how to create internally and externally facing presentations. I did a lot of ad-hoc manual steps when i created my presentations and i just knew there was a better way to automate some of my work. I attended a local Power BI meetup presented by Will Harvey (who is still a good friend of mine) in 2016 called "How to create a dashboard in 10 minutes" and i was hooked. Power BI made connecting to several different data sources and automation look so easy and that is when I knew that I wanted to focus on data analytics and visualization.
I started attending as many SQLSaturdays as I could and I just started learning more and more about Power BI and Data Visualization. Jonathan Stewart is the person I look up to when it comes to data visualization and creating a data driven story. Patrick Leblanc is the person I try to mimic when it comes to being a subject matter expert. I met both of those men at SQLSaturday and i wouldn't be here today without them. Since 2016 I've been able to work with several different data visualization tools (Qlik,Looker, Yellowfin, Tableau, Google Data Studio, Amazon Quicksight, and Microsoft Power BI). I thoroughly enjoy what I do and I like the process of constantly trying to get better!
Now to the big questions about Tableau & Power BI. Which one of these tools do you use most? If you use both, how do you use each?
So I have to give you the standard consultant answer of "It Depends". It honestly just depends on where I'm at in my life and what has my attention at that moment. I'm currently a Data Analyst II with Ryder and we use Microsoft Products, so professionally I use Power BI the most right now. When i'm working on personal projects with public data then I use Tableau because of how easy it is to embed dashboards into websites. Tableau public also provides a lot of inspiration because there are some great #datavizzes out there. I'm also #certifiablytableau and i don't want those skills to go to waste (if you don't use it you lose it), so i'm always trying to stay somewhat current with the new updates.
Are there certain things that one tool does better than the other? And if so, which ones?
At the end of the day, Power BI and Tableau are tools and like all tools they have their strengths and weaknesses. I teach Tableau and Power BI to individuals who want to know more about data analytics, but they have little data experience. They tend to pick up Tableau faster when compared to Power BI. Dax can be intimidating if you're starting from scratch (still intimidating if you've been working with it for years!). My students tend to pick up the functions in Tableau easier, and the separation of Dimensions and Measures makes it easier for them to visually select what they need to use for a graph. Tableau is also really good with their label formatting, and dual axes.
Personally, I really like Power Query (in Power BI) and the ability to connect to public data sources using a URL. Power Query has a lot of great things that it can do to transform data into the format that you need. Time intelligence functions and being able to use variables in your Dax code are also a favorite of mine too.
What is an improvement you would like to see in either of the programs (or both)?
Being able to use variables in calculated fields in Tableau would be a game changer, and I would like to see more flexibility with dual axes in Power BI.
What was easier for you to pick up, DAX or Tableau's syntax including Level of Detail calculations?
They were both difficult for me, but I believe LODs were easier for me to grasp. LODs definitely took some time but one day it just clicked for me. I'm still working daily on ways to improve my Dax and my goal is to just get better each day.
Who is your favorite Power BI developer/Tableau author?
Power BI
Guys In A Cube (@GuyInACube) – Patrick and Adam are so smart and always create great content. I find myself using videos that they published 2 years ago for problems that I'm trying to solve today.
Marco Russo (@Marcorus) – Dax guru! The amount of stuff this guy knows is just unreal.
Bill Anton (@sqlbyoBI) – Bill has a great session on Time Intelligence functions and it helped me out alot. I highly suggest watching a recording if you get a chance.
Chantilly Jaggernauth (@chanjagg) – Chantilly is really smart and she is always willing to answer any questions that i might have. I reached out to her when i first started my tableau journey and she took a few minutes out of her busy schedule to talk about her process to become a zen master with me.
Ken and Kevin Flerlage (@flerlagekr and @FlerlageKev )- They are so smart and brilliant. I make sure to read their blogs even if i'm not actively working in tableau at the time.
Spencer Baucke (@jsbaucke) – I really enjoy #SportsVizSunday and I'm enjoying watching your journey into Power BI. You're learning a lot fast and I'm excited to see where it takes you.
Thanks for including me in your list above, Sekou. I'll get you your $20 later. What are your favorite resources for learning Power BI? Tableau?
Power BI
Virtually: guyinacube.com, sqlbi.com,
In person/Remote : sqlsaturday.com, local meetups, and twitter using the hashtag #sqlhelp
Virtually: https://www.flerlagetwins.com/, https://www.makeovermonday.co.uk/
In Person/Remote: Local meetup groups, Twitter, and wherever else i see people posting content
If you've been to both Tableau Conference and PASS Summit, which one did you like better? If not, tell us something you liked about the one you've attended.
I think I'm one of the lucky ones who has been able to attend both. Both conferences were a mixture of learning a lot of content fast while meeting some great people. I had fun at both conferences, but socially the Tableau conference has the edge. I mean Tableau rented out the Superdome in New Orleans (I still think about that party from time to time). If you get a chance to go to either conference then you won't be disappointed!
Thanks so much for taking your time to talk with me today Sekou!

UCSF500 Cancer Gene Panel Test
The UCSF500 Cancer Gene Panel is a molecular diagnostic test appropriate for patients with advanced cancer, especially those who experience a poor response to standard therapy. In some cases, the UCSF500 is also appropriate for newly diagnosed cancer cases that are difficult to treat or diagnose with standard approaches. The purpose of the UCSF500 test is to identify genetic changes in the DNA of a patient's cancer, which provides valuable information for clarifying the diagnosis of that cancer. Specifically, it can modify diagnosis, improve tumor classification, predict disease progression and help guide therapeutic options.

The Supreme Court on Thursday refused to expedite the hearing of Aadhar cases challenging the constitutional validity of the scheme but observed that data collection by private agencies is not a good idea.
A bench headed by Chief Justice J S Khehar made the remarks after senior advocate Shyam Divan sought urgent hearing of the plea citing privacy concern. "We are not inclined to give immediate hearing as there are limited resources but biometric data collection by private agencies is not a great idea," the bench also comprising Justices N V Ramana and D Y Chandrachud said.
Divan, who represented one of the petitioners, said that these matters needs urgent hearing as there is individual's privacy concern as biometric datas are being collected by private agencies. The apex court had on October 15, 2015 lifted its earlier restrictions and permitted voluntary use of Aadhar cards in welfare schemes that also included MGNREGA, all pension schemes and provident fund, besides ambitious flagship programmes like 'Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojna' of the NDA government.
The social welfare schemes, aimed at reaching the door steps of the "poorest of the poor", were in addition to LPG and PDS schemes in which the apex court had allowed the voluntary use of Aadhar cards. A five-judge constitution bench had put a caveat in its interim order for the Centre and said that Aadhar card scheme is purely voluntary and not mandatory till the matter is finally decided by this court, this way or the other way.
It had said that that a larger bench was required to be set up for final disposal of the petitions that also include the question as to whether the right to privacy is fundamental right.
A three-judge bench had on August 11, 2015 referred a batch of petitions, challenging the Aadhar card scheme, to a larger bench for an authoritative view on the question as to whether the right to privacy is fundamental right or not and had also restricted the use of Aadhar to PDS and LPG scheme only. UIDAI, established by UPA-2 in 2009, issues Aadhar cards to the citizens. Under the programme, every citizen is to be provided a 12-digit unique identification number for which biometric information is collected.

Classic Mountain Horseshoes: a guided hiking holiday in Scotland
A guided hiking holiday in Scotland (circular routes only)
This short guided hiking holiday in the Highlands of Scotland delivers some of the most challenging mountain walking the Highlands has to offer. We trace the edge of highly impressive cliff & corrie scenery to gain some of Scotland's most distinguished peaks. All-in-all 10 Munros in 4 days.
This trip is like Ben Nevis on steroids. Though we are going to climb Scotland's most famous peak on our guided walking holiday, we're not going to do it the easy way. We're taking in more than one mountain and the Carn Mor Dearg Arete. We'll see far fewer people and we'll also be able to admire the spectacular cliffs of the north face, which many people can't see at all from the so-called "tourist" path. You'll be able to understand why so many climbers flock to the Ben.
If you're not tired after climbing Britain's highest peak, don't worry we have more in store. We'll also be heading up Cairngorm – the peak from which Britain's largest national park takes it's name. (Don't worry we'll explain why when it's not even the highest peak in the area.)
HIGHLIGHTS of the Classic Mountain Horseshoes – a guided hiking holiday in Scotland
- 6 nights accommodation at Fraoch Lodge
- 4 guided day hikes
- 1 day to relax and explore the area at your own pace, try another activity, go birdwatching etc
- all meals at Fraoch Lodge from evening of arrival to morning of departure
- transport to the walks
- transfers from/to Aviemore station or Inverness airport
- Cairngorm
- Ben Nevis
- Carn Mor Dearg
- Creag Meagaidh

"a profound sense of belonging" – "the welcome of Rebecca's home cooked meal" – "Andy's skills as a guide, naturalist and leader" – "stewardship, sustainability and a small footprint" – "in harmony with the land" – "a slice of rural Scottish life"Scot Mountain Holidays is the ONLY adventure tour operator in Highlands of Scotland with a combined home and guest lodge. We strive to be more than just an tour. We aim to provide you with a 'home away from home' on your adventures. We thought of no better way of doing this than to welcome you into our own home.
We have owned and operated Fraoch Lodge as our home base and business since 1999. In that time, we have come to embrace our guests as members of our extended Highland family.
We source our meals from locally produced and home grown ingredients to provide you with the most delicious flavours and traditions the area has to offer (while minimising our impact on the environment, too). Our dining room and lounge are shared spaces where we gather with guests and friends to share in the holiday and offer you extensive knowledge of your tour.
No matter the season, the Cairngorms and Fraoch Lodge is a place to relax and explore all its beauty and comforts, and we hope to make you feel as at home as we are.
We have achieved Gold Star Awards from the world's most highly respected green accreditation scheme, Green Tourism, and were awarded Highly Commended in their Green Star Awards 2013 for both Scot Mountain Holidays and Fraoch Lodge. We offer a Green Travel Discount of £15 to any guests who travel to us by public transport. Our primary aim is to minimise the carbon footprint of our holidays, and to this end we donate 1% of the price of our tours to the RSPB's Abernethy Reforestation project.
It is a holistic approach we have to the care of the environment. Andy your adventure guide has a passion for the natural world – whether it's the flora, fauna or fungi. He has a background in geology and a lifelong interest in natural history, as well as being a keen gardener. He knows a Golden Plover from a Dotterel, a Green Shank and a Dunlin. He also makes no apologies to being very excitable upon spying a Golden Eagle!

1) The title in the goods remains with Hereward Carpets until paid for in full.
2) All orders must be paid for prior to delivery/fitting. Cheques to be paid 10 days prior for clearance.
3) We reserve the right to make a charge if you decide to alter or cancel your order.
4) We reserve the right to take and use pictures/videos for printed and online marketing purposes.
1) The room(s) where your new flooring is to be laid must be clear of furniture/appliances; otherwise a charge will be made. Please let us know in ADVANCE, as we will need to allocate more time.
2) All existing carpets/ floor coverings must be uplifted prior to fitting, otherwise a charge will be made.
3) If required, Hereward Carpets can dispose of old carpets and floor coverings. This is a chargeable extra.
4) We require a minimum of 48 hours notice for fitting cancellations. We reserve the right to make a charge of up to 50% of the fitting cost if less than this notice is given.
5) In many cases, your floor-covering will have been priced with the old floor-covering in-situ. It is possible, upon removal of the existing floor covering, that repair work is needed to the floor to ensure a level surface. This extra work is chargeable.
6) We cannot accept responsibility for customer's own measurements.
7) We do not recommend laying vinyl flooring over any existing floor–covering – including 'Marley' tiles. This may (in time) affect the colour of your new vinyl.
8) Any necessary joins will be made as inconspicuous as possible, but cannot be guaranteed to be invisible. We do not recommend the joining of 'loop' pile carpets.
9) All articles of value should be removed before fitting i.e. clocks, pictures, wall plates, ornaments, light fittings, television and hi-fi equipment as Hereward Carpets are unable to accept any responsibility for items such as these.
10) All 'cut-pile' carpets are subject to 'shading' i.e. light and dark patches, caused by uneven crushing of the pile, known as 'pile reversal' and cannot be prevented. Also, pile flattening, matting and distortion in main walkways and around regularly used seating areas is not uncommon. Neither is detrimental to the wear of the carpet and is not a manufacturing fault or defect and will not be considered as a legitimate complaint for replacement.
11) Please be aware that some new carpets (especially those with a high wool content) will shed surplus fibres for some time after fitting, which could clog your cleaner. We recommend the use of an upright cleaner for cut pile carpets and a 'suction' type cleaner for loops.
12) Items of furniture placed on your new carpet will cause indentations. This is inevitable and unavoidable, regardless of the type & quality/price of carpet and underlay you have chosen.
13) Berber carpets use random blends of colours, which as a result, may give a lined effect. This characteristic will not affect the wearing properties of the carpet.
14) We are unable to guarantee an exact colour match on floor-coverings ordered at different times, as they will inevitably be from different batches. This will also apply to materials coming from different roll widths.
15) All floor-coverings are manufactured and cut to a tolerance of +/- 1.25% in accordance with BS3655. We cannot accept responsibility for this shortfall.
16) Carpets received direct from the factory are sometimes laid 'unexamined'. It is rare, but on occasion a fault may only be spotted during the fitting process. We would like to apologise in advance if this is the case, as some inconvenience will inevitably result while the replacement is being obtained.
17) The fitting of carpet grippers, metal door strips and stair nosings etc. may necessitate nailing, screwing or drilling into floors. It is imperative that customers ensure they pre-warn fitters of any under floor gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or under floor heating systems as Hereward Carpets are unable to take responsibility in the event of damaged pipes etc.
18) Our fitters will endeavour to keep to your appointment, but factors beyond our control may occasionally cause delay. We will not be held liable for expenses or loss of income incurred from missed or late appointments.
19) If re-stretching becomes necessary within 12 months of fitting it will be carried out free of charge, otherwise a call-out charge will be made. If carpets have been uplifted due to leakages, remedial work to floorboards, access to telephone cables etc., a call-out charge will be made.
20) Due to the thickness of new carpets and underlay, doors may have to be removed. The trimming and refitting of the doors is specialised carpentry work and will be the responsibility of the customer.
21) Hereward Carpets will not consider any complaints of stains or marks in floor-coverings if reported more than 24hrs after installation.

historyThe Shuswap
Naturalist Club began in 1970 with a membership of about 40 people. The
Executive included President Derek Beacham, Vice-President Dean Munro
Secretary/Treasurer Joyce Henderson.
The Constitution
listed these objectives: 1) to provide opportunities for persons
interested in
natural history to meet and exchange information; 2) to foster an
interest in
nature, particularly among young people; 3) to encourage naturalists to
and report observations; and 4) to foster conservation and encourage
all levels
of government to do so.
To achieve
these aims, early activities of the Club included supporting
conservation and
preservation initiatives in the area surrounding Salmon Arm. Membership
involved in encouraging hunting limits, establishing protected areas
migrating birds, participating in annual bird counts, enjoying natural
lectures at Okanagan College, and sharing programs at regular meetings.
explored local sites, and flower and bird checklists were created.
In the
summer of 1990, a proposal made to the District of Salmon Arm was
approved to
create a nature trail and bird blind on "the old boat berm" west of the
in Salmon Arm Bay. With the help of volunteers, and support from local
who donated materials, the Bird Blind Project was completed in
September, 1990.
It served as a viewing platform for those interested in
observing local shore
birds. The blind survived several bouts of vandalism but was finally
by fire in 1998. A plaque at the trail head recognizes the work of the
members who established and maintain this area.
In 1999, on the initiative of the Shuswap Naturalist
Club, a city lot which was overgrown with weeds
and had been used as a landfill dump was converted to a city park. Peter JanninkNature Park is located on the
marshy shore of the lake, is a wonderful area for birdwatching.

A new study which followed nearly 1,000 gay male couples in The Lancet has found that due to treatment reducing the AIDS virus to very low levels there were no cases of HIV transmission in that subject group for over eight years.
The European study followed 972 gay male couples – where one was living with HIV and taking antiretroviral therapy (ART) and the other was HIV negative –
Antiretroviral therapy is combination of drugs, to be taken daily, to stop HIV replicating in the body.
It can't cure HIV, but it can reduce the amount of virus to undetectable levels in the blood..
In total, the couples in the study reported having anal sex without condoms a total of 76,088 times.
"Our findings provide conclusive evidence that the risk of HIV transmission through anal sex when HIV viral load is suppressed is effectively zero," the researchers said.
Prof Alison Rodger, study author and professor of infectious diseases at University College London, said anal sex was known to have the highest risk of transmission, but gay men should now be reassured.
"This powerful message can help end the HIV pandemic by preventing HIV transmission, and tackling the stigma and discrimination that many people with HIV face."
In the study, the men with HIV had been taking antiretroviral therapy for an average of four years before it began, making the virus undetectable – defined as fewer than 200 copies per ml of blood.
Most people reach this level after taking daily HIV treatment for six months.
Dr Michael Brady, medical director at Terrence Higgins Trust, said: "The study has given us the confidence to say, without doubt, that people living with HIV who are on effective treatment cannot pass the virus on to their sexual partners.
"This has incredible impact on the lives of people living with HIV and is a powerful message to address HIV-related stigma.

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A MOMENT that highlighted Montgomery County's investment in classroom technology.
Five public school teachers from the county were seated in a neat row at the front of a classroom at Ridgeview Middle School in Gaithersburg while, behind them, two other county teachers were visible on a large screen, waiting for a Google chat to begin.
Montgomery County Public Schools officials had invited school board members and the three members of the Montgomery County Council's education committee to view the demonstration in late October as a way to thank them for coming up with extra money to pay for the technology.
MCPS Superintendent Joshua Starr rose to say a few words, and then tried to chat with the teachers on the screen. But when the teachers spoke, no one could hear them. Then the screen froze.
A Starr aide quickly rebooted the system, and within minutes everything was running smoothly.
The incident seemed an apt metaphor for Starr's own performance as head of the state's largest and fastest-growing school system: Though he has taken steps to address some of the district's most pressing challenges, there have been some missteps, and it remains to be seen whether those efforts will succeed.
Starr, whose four-year contract ends June 30, is hoping he'll have the opportunity to find out. The school board is scheduled to begin formal discussions in February on whether to renew Starr's contract, although informal conversations are already said to be underway and Starr's long-term future here appears less than assured.
Members weren't happy to find out in 2013 that Starr, who had worked for the New York City public school system and has family there, had talked to the new mayor about becoming the city's schools chancellor. A year later, though, Starr says he's firmly committed to his current job, which in 2014 paid him a base salary of $260,100.
Running MCPS is "the best superintendent's job in the country," says Starr, 45, who lives in Bethesda with his wife, Emma, and three children: two middle school students and one first-grader who are MCPS students. "We want to be here for a long time," he says.
WHEN STARR TOOK over as MCPS superintendent in 2011, he inherited a rapidly growing school district facing changing demographics and harsh economic realities that were much different from those faced by his predecessor Jerry Weast. During his 12-year tenure, Weast was able to make use of better economic times to improve student achievement and to narrow the gap between higher-performing students—mostly affluent white and Asian students—and lower-performing students, mostly lower-income African-Americans and Hispanics.
"Josh has wanted to put his imprint on the system, but he hasn't had the luxury of good fiscal times to set things in motion," says Patricia O'Neill, a school board member from Bethesda. "It was a lot easier for Jerry to get some quick wins by implementing all-day kindergarten and reducing class size in the primary grades. We don't have that kind of money now."
Starr had left the 15,000-student school district of Stamford, Conn., to run MCPS, a district with 154,000 students and an operating budget of about $2.3 billion. A national critic of relying on standardized testing to assess student and teacher performance, Starr has promoted a more holistic approach to prepare students for the 21st century workplace. He is continuing Weast's efforts to close the achievement gap, but recognizes that the school system needs to do more to get the job done.
Starr says he is focused on making sure all MCPS students receive the same quality education and has begun programs to help them get ready for college, including one with Montgomery College and The Universities at Shady Grove. He is also pushing for the expansion of "project-based learning" programs in high schools that incorporate hands-on learning and real-world projects to teach students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers.
He has put in place a data-driven, early-alert system to identify students who are at risk of failing, and has told principals and teachers to focus on understanding the needs of each child in their classrooms. He has also revised the discipline policy to lower the number of out-of-school suspensions, which had disproportionately affected minority students.
Despite these efforts, Starr's critics say he isn't doing enough—or moving quickly enough—to close the achievement gap and address pressing issues. Some, including parents, board members and elected officials, describe Starr as a remote technocrat who is more easily understood through his frequent tweets than when he tries to explain something in person.
Some teachers complain that the district has fumbled its continuing rollout of curriculum changes required by the state's adoption of the more rigorous Common Core standards for math and English, leaving them struggling in the classroom. And other issues have drawn public criticism, including the handling of several cases of MCPS employees accused of inappropriate conduct with students, the recent controversy over the school board's decision to remove all religious references from the MCPS calendar, and Starr's decision to back off a proposal he initially endorsed to change high school start times so students could get more sleep.
Michael J. Petrilli, president of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute, an education think tank in Washington, D.C., and the author of a 2012 book, The Diverse Schools Dilemma: A Parent's Guide to Socioeconomically Mixed Public Schools, has written about his family's decision to move from more diverse Takoma Park to Bethesda in search of better schools.
"I feel like Josh Starr has more of a profile nationally, as a commentator or pundit, than he does as a local leader," Petrilli says. "It is not clear to me exactly what his agenda is here in Montgomery County."
WHEN STARR WAS HIRED in 2011, school board members and local politicians said they looked forward to a leader who would instill a more open and responsive culture. Starr quickly embarked on a "listening tour," meeting often with county residents, staff, parents and students, and visiting schools to learn about concerns and issues. He held book club meetings that were broadcast on the district's website to engage the community on progressive ideas in education.
That collaborative style has won praise from county councilmember Craig Rice, chairman of the council's education committee. Leaders of the county teachers' union also say Starr looks to them for advice and keeps them in the loop.
"He is very good about making sure that we are included in the decision-making process for most major decisions," says Doug Prouty, president of the Montgomery County Education Association, the union that represents MCPS teachers.
Starr's style is much different from that of Weast, who was rarely described as collaborative. Still, his approach has rankled those who are looking for faster action.
County councilmember George Leventhal (D-at large), who became council president in December, tangled publicly with Starr about what Leventhal has described as the difficulty that council members experience when trying to get more information from Starr and his staff.
And newly-elected school board member Jill Ortman-Fouse of Silver Spring, who replaced veteran Shirley Brandman of Bethesda, says she is eager to better understand the impact of some of Starr's programs. "He is willing to try some new things; now we have to see if those are the kinds of things we have needed to do," she says.
O'Neill and Brandman say it's not surprising that Starr is still honing his goals and communication skills after spending his first few years learning about the school system and the community. The second four years, assuming the board rehires Starr, will be a more telling measure, Brandman says.
Montgomery College President DeRionne Pollard, who works closely with Starr to try to improve college readiness among public school students, says Starr has become a better communicator.
"He is learning to navigate the political waters," she says. "He's becoming clearer in his message. He's an intellect, he's confident, he is very committed to social justice."
For his part, Starr says it has taken time for people to understand his style of leadership. "I think what some people are getting used to is that I am equally if not more interested in what their interests are and what they have to say than simply pushing my agenda," Starr says.

As far as I know, zero new lands or spells, and precisely one new skill,
has been added in the course of the game. And I would be surprised if
anyone has objected to that one skill. I think you are confusing rather
different issues.
I think that there are two things which are true. First, there are
players who say, "I spent a lot of time developing X in order to do Y.
Now, I will be upset if you change the rules so that I can't do Y any
more." This is a reasonable objection, and clearly has to be considered
and dealt with, on a case-by-case basis. Taking something *away* from
the game, is different than *adding* something to the game.
Secondly, there are rule changes that just suck. Completely independent
of my position, there are some things that Rich has considered which I
think are bad rules, which would make the game less fun to play. Why
shouldn't a player who doesn't like a particular rule, say so? That's
not "whining," that's expressing one's opinion about what is fun for
that person. Everyone should have just as much right as you do, to say
what one likes and doesn't like.
> The attitude of these kinds of players seems really petty to me: they
> want the game to remain static because they've got a big piece of the
> Olympian political pie & fear change might hurt their faction.
If you don't even know the players, how do you know their "attitude" so
I am fairly certain that there is not a single player in the game whose
attitude is as you describe it. I certainly don't know any.
> & I think Rich would have the high ground anyway,
> since the rules state that Olympia is subject to change over time.
I think that everyone agrees that Rich can change the rules any way he
wants, at any time. I think that everyone also agrees that no one is
obligated to keep sending Rich their $2.50/turn, if the rule changes
result in a game that one doesn't enjoy playing. Rich is running a
business, and has to make business decisions, some of which are not
always going to be easy.

The NORAD of ABC in Austin
When I went up to have an interview in the ABC Newsroom here in Austin, a gentleman there named Ed Sparks was nice enough to take me back to the inner sanctum. Ed is a frequent here in the community (hi Ed!) and quite the camera enthusiast. Before and after my live appearance (from a few weeks ago), he took me back into this control room so I could set up for a shot. As usual, I've uploaded the full-res version so you can see all the little details in the room. To see the full-res version, just click on the photo to go to the Flickr site. Click on "All Sizes" at the top of the photo. Last, click on "Original".
They explained to me how the room worked and how everything was customizable. The crew can pull in whatever feeds they need and position them on the screen accordingly. They even can save templates, since each producer that comes in and out during the day can have their own setup. It was quite fascinating to watch these guys operate in precision… I had to catch myself and remember to take photos, since I would sorta stare at the screens at get mesmerized for a bit!

I wrote a recent post about children who kill and how most of the books in this category are actually works of non-fiction. The sad reality is; when dealing with a subject such as abuse and survival, the same thing is true. I found so many heart-wrenching (non-fiction) stories out there about children who were abused and had to learn how to survive. Interesting enough, some of those book topics actually end up overlapping; that is to say, some of those books about children who kill are also about children who were abused.
This is of special interest to me, having written a work of fiction about a child abuse victim who resorts to killing. Skipping Childhood: A Novel (From Abused Foster Child to Adolescent Serial Killer) has many of the very same elements that those non-fiction books have. The reason for this is because Skipping Childhood is a true story of survival, even though many elements of the novel is fiction. We have all discovered by now that it is not unusual to find truth in fiction, especially when it comes to survival stories.
In the publishing industry, when a book is based on a true story, presumably, the events that take place are true. My book has an overwhelming amount of content that is inspired by true events, which is not necessarily the same thing. While I never knew any 12 year-olds who killed anyone, I've known many, if not all of the characters in my book. I've known their lives and their struggles and their challenges, and many of them, I've experienced first-hand. So as an author, I'm able to write about abuse and survival with a sense of credibility, even if I use my imagination when writing about murder.
Difficult to Write and Read
Clearly, some topics are much more difficult to write and even to read. I came across two books yesterday that I wanted to mention. Both are based on true stories about child abuse and survival. No More Pain Kindle Edition is written by Paige Green. This is one that I purchased and plan to read. I'll also be posting a review when I'm done.
The other book I came across is The Undoing: The uncertain nights of the Peterson children Kindle Edition by Gloria Watson. This one I won't be reading, and I mean no disrespect to the author. One of the statements made in the book description is that this book is "not for the faint of heart". That rules me out. I found it hard to even read the description of what both books were about, let alone to dive into something I know will be disturbing.
The reason I chose to buy No More Pain is because the author did a good job of making me feel saddened by the topic, but curious to see what happens. I know the content is delicate, but I don't get put off in the way the author leads me to believe it will be presented. I think this is an important aspect when writing about child abuse and survival, whether you write fiction or non-fiction. I appreciate the candor and foresight Ms. Watson (author of the second book) showed. She gave us a warning about her book and certain readers need to recognize that her warning is for them (like me). This helps eliminate the chance of reading a book and giving it a poor review because your conscious was offended or it was too graphic to handle.
Writers who are not sensitive to this issue can find themselves being viewed in a questionable way. I came across one title about a sexually abused child, and the description almost read like one of the erotica books I've reviewed in the past. There should be no blurred lines when it comes to writing about sexual child abuse and writing about an adult sexual encounter. The language, tone, and everything else should be distinctively different. Failing to recognize this fact will put off a lot of readers, as well it should.
Less is More
The expression "less is more" has never been more fitting than in the above conversation. I think authors should apply it when writing the necessary scenes and dialogue in stories about abuse and survival (fiction or non-fiction). Readers who want to read and understand these types of tragic stories don't necessarily feel the need for all the gritty details and language surrounding violent and sexual acts. I personally tried to keep this point in mind when I wrote Skipping Childhood. The topic is sensitive enough without adding all the shock value of horrific scenes and dialogue.
I welcome you to read Skipping Childhood: A Novel (From Abused Foster Child to Adolescent Serial Killer) and see what you think about this point.

Are You Seeking Information About Soccer? Then Check Out These Great Tips!
Becoming experienced in soccer can have many benefits.You love the sport because you are reading this article. If you'd like to do better at playing this game, you have to gain all the skills and knowledge you can. Continue reading this article to help enhance your soccer player you can be.
It is absolutely essential that you maintain focus on the ball out of your sight. Losing track of the ball will give your opponent the opposing team getting it to the goal.
If there is too much happening on your side of the field, kick the ball to another player in a less crowded area. This should give them some time before the defenders crossing the field so you're able to not risk losing your ball.
When you are considering new cleats, take into account your level of playing ability. For example, if you are a beginner, opt for plastic, molded cleats. More advanced players can use metal cleats that can be used on different surfaces.
You can confuse defenders by dribbling in a different direction you intend to ultimately go. This particular move works great when trying to get past a defender.
Lofted Balls
It's hard to control lofted balls. Try passing low passes so other players can easily take control of the ball as defenders approach. Lofted balls are better for long passes through an open area.
Your first move should always be to pass. Keep the ball if you can move forward safely, but pass it before the opposing team gets to you. Another player can then have a bit of time before they're attacked.
Pretend that you are planning to kick the soccer ball to another player when confronted by a defender approaches you. This causes a moment of pause that will let you extra time. The technique works even more effective if you're animated.
It's crucial that you communicate with other players. You will work better as a solid team if you communicate with them. Professional soccer players say that communication is one of the field.
You must stay fit if you would like to be a good soccer player. Too much weight can cause the game harder for you to play.
It may be pretty obvious, but you must keep your eye on the ball at all times. The game of soccer is extremely fast; therefore, the ball will be quickly passed between players in an instant. If you don't know where the ball is, then you may end up allowing the other team to score.
While individual goals are important when playing soccer, try to keep work on team goals as well. Soccer is a team sport, so this is why it is important that the teams goals are just as important as your own.
Don't be too confident when you are on the soccer field. You might be great, but the unexpected can happen. If you are overly confident, someone just might take you down.
Learn things from your mistakes.Pay attention to players who are good at dribbling and try copying their technique.
Get a pattern established by getting the ball crossed in one direction for a couple of plays. The other team will detect the pattern and organize themselves to try to anticipate it. After this is done you can make the team get tricked by pretending to go one way and then going the other way.
If the soccer field is going to be muddy, wear shoes that are made to grip under slippery conditions. Many soccer professionals prefer soft removable cleats to deal with situations like these.
Soccer Ball
Learn to properly kick the ball the right way. There is more to kicking a soccer ball than just kicking it. Kick toward the ball's bottom of a soccer ball in order to send it into the air. Wedge your foot beneath the ball and lean backwards.
Soccer should be played as a team. Never forget that there are other people on the field. Working with your team, instead of for your own personal goals, is always a more effective strategy. Make your moves with the good of the whole team in mind. When you make personal sacrifices you will succeed.
There are a lot of soccer. When you concentrate on positive rather than negative thoughts, you can bring up your whole team. This ability can make or break the game for you.
Ask all of the parents to buy a separate soccer ball for their child to bring to practice. This ensures that each player has a ball to practice with at home. Always have some extra soccer balls on deck so that you can lend them out when players forget to come prepared.
All your skills should be honed every day such as passing, dribbling and passing daily. Even though some team members might be bored, it is important that everyone does this in order to improve their fundamental skills. Show some famous soccer players practicing so your players see how important it is.
To make it onto a good team, prove you are combative. Do not give up easily, keep moving, defend, attack and be a team player. When you show the coach that you're a team player and are good in your own right, it's more likely that you'll get chosen.
One of the most difficult obstacles to overcome is hesitation. You want your mindset to be focused on offense as you do defense.
You can become a good soccer player when you gain knowledge from past mistakes. A good way to learn is by having every game you play in recorded. You can then review the game and pinpoint the areas in which you need to improve on. You might notice that you do not approach the ball as you need to be.
You can train your side vision to help you track the field and watch the ball.
To keep your game at its best, you have to stay in good shape. The game will be much more difficult if you are carrying too much weight. Watch the amounts and types of foods you eat to make sure that the diet you are eating is perfectly healthy.
With all of this soccer intel, you are ready to put it to work on the field! Practice makes perfect. Remember these tips to become a better soccer player in the field.

Teagan Jo
I LOVE Fresh 48 sessions. There's always some magic in the room when you are adding a new member to the tribe, whether it is your first, third or fifth baby… it's magic. People can't help but stare and smile at the life before them. They're soaking up the love and also giving all of their love.
Chelsy and Joe welcomed new baby Teagan Jo in late August and I was lucky enough to capture my good friend's maternity session and now her Fresh 48. Callan quickly fell into role of big brother and did not hesitate to show off his yellow trucks and let them zoom around Teagan as she was sound asleep. He proudly held her and kept a huge grin on his face the entire time.
Congratulations to this new family of four!

The long time in the industry equips the company with the long experience with the ability to deal with pretty much everything because they probably have been there, not to mention the improvement in the technology. This is where now I say that you will never go wrong with a veteran brand because they have been there before, remember o look at the portfolio while you are at it. Among the things that will determine the pricing is the company that you choose, the quality and the kind of services that you are looking for. The best thing here will be to look for a company with expertise, experience, history of offering quality and for the best prices like Windward Engineering.
There are various ways that you can tell of the quality even before you can hire the company.

Phase Forward Q3 Revenues Jump 24%, Earnings Down by Half
Waltham, Mass-based Phase Forward, a provider of data management solutions for clinical trials and drug safety, reported third quarter revenues jumped 24% to $53.1 million, compared with the third quarter of 2008, but earnings were cut in half.
For the third quarter, income from operations was $2.4 million, compared with $4.4 million in the third quarter of 2008. Net income for the period was $1.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, compared with $0.08 per diluted share in 2008.
Within total revenues, electronic data capture license, application hosting and other related revenues were $38.5 million, representing 71% of third quarter total revenues and an increase of 18% from $32.7 million in the prior year period.
Bob Weiler, chairman and CEO, said, "The combination of solid revenue growth and expense management led to non-GAAP operating income and EPS that were above our guidance for the quarter."
Total cash, cash equivalents and investments were $147.2 million at the end of the third quarter, which was down from $168.7 million at the end of the prior quarter because Phase Forward spent approximately $21 million used in the previously announced acquisitions of Maaguzi and Covance's IRT business unit.

The development of Rekindling the Spirit Health Service dates back 17 years, its roots lying in what was called Gurgun Bulahnggelah (meaning "agree to walk together"), an Aboriginal health promotion service provided by Elli Bradshaw and Teena Binge of the then-North Coast Area Health Service's Public Health Unit.
Since 1998, the premises had been occupied by the NSW Local Health District's Aboriginal Health Education Officers. It was suggested that some primary care health services were needed on the site as well, and I nominated myself and sought the assistance of GP colleagues Angela Bettess and Carol Stevenson. We commenced and provided the GP service linked to the Casino Aboriginal Medical Service (AMS) as an outreach service.
Sometime later there were changes which resulted in us relying exclusively on Medicare funding to maintain a rudimentary GP service. We asked for assistance from the Northern Rivers Division of General Practice (NRDGP), and were supported with an electronic medical record system and other resources, including staffing to support a more comprehensive GP service. We were also joined by some other allied health professionals, including a RN in 2008, and the service gradually expanded. We eventually became a service provided by NRDGP with some help from NSW Health.
Then came a name change to Jullums, Lismore Aboriginal Medical Service. The logo was based on an artwork by Bundjalung artist Adrian Cameron, featuring four fish and symbolising people coming together for yarning around health matters.
Jullums partnered with Rekindling the Spirit (RTS), an Aboriginal counselling and support service founded by Greg Telford. They provided a culturally appropriate counselling service for us. When it came time for the North Coast Primary Health Network to hand over the service in 2017 to an Aboriginal controlled organisation, the successful amalgamation chosen was with RTS. The service continued to expand.
Initially our service was in an art deco style house opposite Lismore Base Hospital, charming but requiring a number of refurbishments. By 2020 it was bursting at the seams, with an increasing number of staff and health service providers. The RTS CEO, Georgina Cohen, with support from her Board, found a suitable medical facility nearby in Uralba Street, still close to the Base.
After three months of major refurbishment the big move took place in late-July 2020. The property is spacious, with a lot more consulting rooms for the expanding services. It is early days yet, but there is good feedback already from both the health providers and patients attending. The parking situation is much better and the number of health providers has already increased. Since the move the service has changed its name to the Rekindling the Spirit Health Service. It is located at 92 Uralba Street, Lismore, NSW.

As Florida State University head football coach Jimbo Fisher readies his national championship team for this weekend's season opener in Dallas, he's also teaming up with motocross champion Ricky Carmichael to raise awareness for Fanconi anemia (FA) - a rare and incurable blood disorder affecting Jimbo's younger son, Ethan, and an 11-year-old motocross enthusiast from Texas named Gage Klein.
Jimbo and his wife, Candi - who spearhead Kidz1stFund to raise awareness and treatment options for FA - will join Gage, and his family on the field at AT&T Stadium for a pre-game surprise on behalf of Carmichael.
"When the Fishers shared Gage's FA story with me earlier this year, how his beloved race jersey is boxed up and his dirt bike is now retired in the rafters of his dad's shop, I knew I needed to get personally involved," said Carmichael. "My connection with the Fishers goes beyond our love for the Seminoles and my hometown, Tallahassee. They are my friends and their Kidz1stFund is a foundation I truly believe in."
When the Fishers introduced Carmichael to Gage, he invited the entire family to the 2014 Dallas Supercross - where Gage enjoyed exclusive access onto the stadium's race track and met one-on-one with Carmichael and many other motocross idols for pictures and autographs on the winner's podium. Gage also sat alongside race trainers and crew in press box seats during the big races that evening.
Gage's appearance on the kick-off game field with Ethan in Dallas, as well as the FSU football team wearing "I Fight Fanconi" Kidz1stFund helmet decals during the season opener, are both to show continued support in the fight against FA.
"Candi and I are overwhelmed with gratitude at Ricky's incredible efforts to spread the word about Kidz1stFund and personally make a difference in the lives of those living with FA," said Coach Fisher.
Ethan and Gage are 2 out of 130,000 people annually affected with FA, leading to birth defects, bone marrow failure and cancer diagnoses. Nearly 100 percent of patients need very risky bone marrow transplants before adulthood, and even then, survivors have an average life expectancy of 29 years old.
"Time is not on our side, and every move we make brings us one step closer to finding a cure for FA," said Candi. "The amount of support we've received over the years is incredible, and it only continues to grow."
In just three years, Kidz1stFund has donated more than $2.1 million to the University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, the largest treatment center for FA patients (like Ethan and Gage) in the country.
