Have you ever done Start Stop Continue exercise with your team?
If not, you are missing out on an incredible team bonding opportunity.
If you dread team bonding exercises or feel like they are a waste of time, then Start Stop Continue will change your mind! This team building exercise I am about to teach you will:
- Help your team be more productive
- Encourage deeper collaboration
- Assess what tasks are working and which aren't
This is the team exercise my team and I do all the time. I also use it myself!
It's called: Start, Stop, Continue.
The premise is simple. This team bonding exercise is a way for you to easily check-in with your team and your projects. Here are the goals of the exercise:
- What's working? Let's do more of that.
- What's not working? Let's do less of that.
- What's meh? Let's discuss.
Materials Needed:
- Multi-colored sticky notes
- A large space
- Pens
Pick a Topic
You can do this exercise with any topic–work, personal or project specific. You can even do it by yourself, with a pair or in a large group. It's very flexible — which is why it's so great. The first thing you want to do is pick a topic area. The one my team just did was on:
Marketing at Science of People
This is something we all work on, think about and is important for the business. You want to pick a topic that matters — something that affects everyone on your team, or greatly impacts the bottom line or even a topic that needs a reset. Here are some ideas:
Business Ideas:
- Financial Plans
- Year in Review
- Marketing Strategy
- Branding
- Team Tasks
Personal Ideas:
- Health
- Family Chores
- Household Finances
- Scheduling and Time Management
- Family Values
Sticky It Up
The next step is for everyone on your team to write everything that comes to mind for that topic. Each thing should get its own sticky note. If you can, give everyone their own color post-it. Specifically, everyone should answer these questions and write as many post-its as they can:
- What tasks do you do related to this topic?
- What tasks do you think should be done related to this topic but aren't being done?
- What ideas do you have about this topic?
For example, my team did this for Marketing Strategy at Science of People. Here are a few of the things written on post-its. We only wrote down one or two words to keep it easy and below, I added descriptions for explanation for you:
- Blog Posts: Write blog posts about people skills
- Medium: Submit articles to Medium
- Facebook: Post articles to Facebook
- YouTube: Make a video for each article on YouTube
- HuffPo: Syndicate articles to Huffington Post
- LinkedIn: Put articles on our LinkedIn
- Twitter: Post articles to Twitter multiple times per week
- Email: Send out articles in email newsletters
- Instagram: Make an image for the article and post it on Instagram
This list can be as long as you like.
Place the Tasks
Now that everyone has written their tasks, they should begin to place them on a large white board or table with three columns.
Start Column: People should place their sticky note in this column if they think it's a task that should be started–meaning it's not being done at all or enough right now.
Stop Column: People should place their sticky note in this column if they think it's a task that should be stopped–it's not productive or effective.
Continue Column: People should place their sticky note in this column if they think it's a task that should be continued or enhanced. These are tasks that are working well.
People can place these in each column and if each person has their own color it is easy to see who placed what where.
Special Note: If you are worried people might be shy, you can give everyone the same color so people do not have to be embarrassed by their answers. Sometimes anonymity is a good thing if you want people to be honest.
Here is where our team placed the tasks above:
- Medium
- HuffPo
- YouTube
- Email Marketing
- Blog Posts
This is where you can discuss and debate the list. Any disagreements? Explanations that need to be made? Do it now! This is the best part of the exercise because it allows people to re-evaluate tasks that they or others might be doing that don't serve them.
What if there are disagreements? Good! Then the activity is really getting to the heart of the matter. Disagreement isn't bad—you can make a great situation out of disagreeable people. And it's a lot easier if you know how to influence others.
Become More Influential
Want to become an influential master? Learn these 5 laws to level up your skills.
I like to put questionable tasks in between columns. For example, my team and I couldn't agree about StumbleUpon. We get some traffic, but not a ton. It went in between the Stop and Continue columns to be re-evaluated in 3 months.
*Be sure to create a safe space. Make it clear that every idea is welcome and no idea should be shot down too quickly.
Assignments + Action
Once everyone is happy with the board, assignments and re-assignments, action should be taken. What tasks should be re-assigned? Who is closing up or ending the "Stop" tasks? Who is targeting the "Start" tasks? Pull out your to-do lists and your calendars and make each task an action step.
- Set a check-in time for questionable tasks. Did you have a lot of disagreement? Agree to gather data and intel and reconvene sometime soon to re-address.
Bonus: Really, Any Topic!
You can really do this with any topic. For example, I wanted to do "Health" at the beginning of the year for my partner and I. My husband and I made a bunch of sticky notes and then made our own board. It ended up looking like this:
- Morning protein shakes
- Taking brainstorm walks
- A better evening routine
- Eating out on weeknights
- Eating after 7pm
- Soda
- Hiking
- Afternoon Yoga
- Badminton
- Soccer
It was a great couple activity. We started blocking out time on our calendars for activities, purged the house of soda and bought some great protein shakes. Boom!
Try this activity with your team, your spouse or your family.

The Rational-Behavioral Debate in Financial Economics
Journal of Economic Methodology, 11:4, 393–409 December 2004
17 Pages Posted: 14 Jul 2004 Last revised: 18 Feb 2019
The contest between rational and behavioral finance is poorly understood as a contest over "testability" and "predictive success." In fact, neither rational nor behavioral finance offer much in the way of testable predictions of improving precision. Researchers in the rational paradigm seem to have abandoned testability and prediction in favor of a scheme of ex post "rationalizations" of observed price behavior. These rationalizations, however, have an unemphasized relevance for behavioral finance. While behavioral finance advocates may justly criticize rationalizations as unlikely to lead to a science of financial economics with improving predictive power, rational finance's explanatory power plays a key role supporting the limits of arbitrage arguments that make behavioral finance possible.

Singapore Open: PV Sindhu beats Saena to enter final
Indian shuttler PV Sindhu stormed into the Singapore Open title clash with a commanding win over lower-ranked Japanese Saena Kawakami.
Indian shuttler PV Sindhu stormed into the Singapore Open title clash with a commanding win over lower-ranked Japanese Saena Kawakami in the women's singles semifinal, here on Saturday.
Sindhu, a double Olympic medallist, who had claimed two Super 300 titles at Syed Modi International and Swiss Open this year, prevailed 21-15 21-7 in 32-minute semifinal clash. She is now one win away from her maiden Super 500 title of the 2022 season.
Sindhu came into the match with a 2-0 head-to-head record, having played her last at the 2018 China Open. The former world champion looked in complete command against world number 38 Kawakami, who just couldn't control the shuttle and was buried in a heap of errors during the lop-sided match.
Sindhu summoned her whipping smashes early on but the drift in the hall made decision making difficult and also sometimes precision was lacking but the power in her strokeplay helped the Indian moved to a healthy three-point lead at the break.
The 24-year-old Japanese, however, started putting the shuttle in from difficult positions to draw parity. The match came alive with both fighting for each point.
Sindhu also won two video referrals, punished a weak high lift and also made good calls at the baseline to move to 18-14. A power-packed smash and then two unforced errors by Kawakami helped Sindhu seal the opening game comfortably.
Kawakami's struggles continued in the second game as she failed to control the shuttle and conceded a 0-5 early lead to her fancied rival.
Sindhu just had to keep engaging her rival in the rallies and patiently waited for mistakes from the Japanese.
A frustrated Kawakami just could wryly smile as Sindhu first grabbed a 11-4 lead at the mid-game interval and then zoomed to 17-5 in a jiffy. The Japanese had no answer to Sindhu's forehand attacking returns and backhand flicks as the Indian moved to 19-6.
Sindhu sent one long but next unleashed a whipping smash from the baseline which her opponent could only sent to the net. With Kawakami sending the shuttle out again, Sindhu fist pumped to announce her entry into the finals.

This article is one of many informative articles in Joe Carter's "9 Things You Should Know" series.
Last week the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) held their annual provincial assembly. The ACNA is part of a growing reform movement that feels orthodox Anglicans have been "squeezed out of the Episcopal Church and Anglican Church of Canada by successive changes to historic Christian teaching and Anglican practice." To gain a better understanding of this tradition, here are nine things you should know about Anglicanism and the Anglican Communion.
1. Anglicanism is a tradition within Christianity comprising the Church of England and churches which are historically tied to it or have similar beliefs, worship practices and church structures. With a membership estimated at around 80 million members worldwide, the Anglican faith (including both those within the Anglican Communion and Anglicans outside of it) is the third largest Christian communion in the world, after the Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
2. The Anglican faith is often considered a reformed Catholicism, a hybrid between the Catholic and Protestant faiths. (For instance, one key dividing point between Anglicanism and Catholicism is the issue of absolute authority.
3. The Anglican Communion is an international association of churches consisting of the Church of England and of national and regional Anglican churches in full communion with that mother church. The status of full communion means that there is mutual agreement on essential doctrines and that full participation in the sacramental life of each church is available to all communicant Anglicans. There are also groups, such as those aligned with the Continuing Anglican movement or the Anglican realignment, whose relationship to the worldwide Anglican Communion is still being negotiated.
4. Although joined in a global communion, Anglicanism has no international juridical authority and each province is wholly self-governing. The 34 provinces, 4 United Churches, and 6 other churches of the Anglican Communion are autonomous, each with their own governing bishop and governing structure. Some take the form national churches (such as in England, Canada, and Japan), while others are a collection of nations (such as in Central Africa and South Asia) or geographical regions (such as Vanuatu and Solomon Islands). Some churches are extra provincial (for example, Bermuda aligns with Canterbury) or outside the Anglican Communion altogether.
5. The churches of the Anglican Communion are "linked by affection and common loyalty" and in communion with the See of Canterbury. The term "see" refers to the seat of a bishop, thus the "See of Canterbury" refers to the position held by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the highest ranking bishop in Canterbury, one of two ecclesiastical provinces which constitute the Church of England. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the spiritual leader and "focus of unity" for the Anglican Communion and head of the three "Instruments of Unity: The Archbishop calls the once-a-decade Lambeth Conference, chairs the meeting of Primates (i.e., chief archbishop or bishop of a province), and is President of the Anglican Consultative Council. The Archbishop of Canterbury is considered the primus inter pares, the first among equals, of the college of Primates.
6. Since there is no binding authority in the Anglican Communion (the Archbishop of Canterbury has no authority outside of his own province), the "Instruments of Unity" serve to hold the various churches and provinces together. The Lambeth Conference is a gathering of bishops, meeting every ten years, the meeting of Primates takes place every two or three years for consultation on theological, social, and international issues, and the Anglican Consultative Council brings together bishops, presbyters, deacons, lay men and women, and youth, to work on common concerns.
7. The Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral (also known as the Lambeth Quadrilateral or the Lambeth-Chicago Quadrilateral) encapsulates the Communion's unifying doctrine and serves as a primary guide for ecumenical discussion with other Christian denominations. The Lambeth Conference of 1888 passed Resolution 11, which states:
That, in the opinion of this Conference, the following Articles supply a basis on which approach may be by God's blessing made towards Home Reunion:
(a) The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as "containing all things necessary to salvation," and as being the rule and ultimate standard of faith.
(b) The Apostles' Creed, as the Baptismal Symbol; and the Nicene Creed, as the sufficient statement of the Christian faith.
(c) The two Sacraments ordained by Christ Himself—Baptism and the Supper of the Lord—ministered with unfailing use of Christ's words of Institution, and of the elements ordained by Him.
(d) The Historic Episcopate, locally adapted in the methods of its administration to the varying needs of the nations and peoples called of God into the Unity of His Church.
8. The Book of Common Prayer is the foundational prayer book of Anglicanism. In 1549, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer, created the book by translating Latin Catholic liturgy into English, and infused the prayers with Protestant reform theology. The book became one of the great works of literature and influenced both the English language and the liturgies of other Christian traditions, particularly marriage and burial rites (e.g., "Dearly beloved: We have come together in the presence of God to witness and bless the joining together of this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony. . .")
9. There are numerous terms that are unique to or have distinctive meanings when referring to Anglicanism, such as: bishop (a successor to one of the Twelve Apostles, who has been consecrated by other bishops), archbishop (a bishop who has additional responsibilities), communion (refers to both the Lord's Supper and the Anglican Communion), curate (an assistant to the person in charge of a parish), deacon (the initial level of being ordained in the Anglican Church), diocese (fundamental unit of structure of the Anglican church, which contains many parishes and churches), Episcopal Church (The U.S. province of the Anglican Communion calls itself "The Episcopal Church"), parish (smallest unit of administration, usually consisting of only one church), province (administrative division of the church that is bigger than a diocese and smaller than the whole world), rector (a priest who is the leader of a self-supporting parish), and vicar (the priest in charge of a parish or mission that is supported financially from the outside).

In a season of sorrow? This FREE eBook will guide you in biblical lament
Lament is how we bring our sorrow to God—but it is a neglected dimension of the Christian life for many Christians today. We need to recover the practice of honest spiritual struggle that gives us permission to vocalize our pain and wrestle with our sorrow.
In Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy, pastor and TGC Council member Mark Vroegop explores how the Bible—through the psalms of lament and the book of Lamentations—gives voice to our pain. He invites readers to grieve, struggle, and tap into the rich reservoir of grace and mercy God offers in the darkest moments of our lives.

Noted Scholar of Inequality to Lead BU School of Law
Angela Onwuachi-Willig drawn by BU's history of access and diversity
Angela Onwuachi-Willig, a renowned legal scholar and expert in racial and gender inequality as well as civil rights law, has been named dean of the BU School of Law. A prolific writer and authority on employment discrimination and law as it relates to social injustice, she comes to BU from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, where she is the Chancellor's Professor of Law.
"We are delighted to have recruited Angela Onwuachi-Willig to Boston University as the next dean of the BU School of Law," says Jean Morrison, BU provost and chief academic officer. "She has an excellent record of accomplishment as a scholar and teacher, and as dean, Dr. Onwuachi-Willig will continue the advancement of the quality and stature of the BU School of Law."
Morrison says Onwuachi-Willig, who has published extensively in leading law journals, including the Yale Law Journal, California Law Review, and the Georgetown Law Journal, is a high-impact academic. Prior to her post at Berkeley, she was the Charles and Marion J. Kierscht Professor of Law at the University of Iowa College of Law, as well as a finalist for the Iowa Supreme Court.
Onwuachi-Willig says she made the decision to leave top-ranked UC, Berkeley, School of Law to take the LAW deanship because of the University's commitment to the causes and ideals that she cares deeply about.
"I was initially drawn to BU Law because of its outstanding academic reputation and its amazing community of students, staff, and faculty. The faculty at the law school are stellar. They are highly productive. They write first-rate legal scholarship, and they are as committed to being excellent teachers and mentors for their students as they are to being great legal scholars. The students are also very impressive. They are smart and ambitious. They care not only about being excellent lawyers but also about being excellent citizens in their communities.
"Frankly, the more I learned about the school, the more I was attracted to it. I was particularly touched by and drawn to BU Law's history of access and diversity. The fact that its doors have been open to all since its founding is incredibly meaningful to me as an African American woman. The law school's body of alumni—in fact, the University's body of alumni, including Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. (GRS'55, Hon.'59)—are incredibly impressive. When I discovered that Barbara Jordan (LAW'59, Hon.'69) was an alumna of the law school, it felt like a sign. I was born and raised in Houston, Tex., and I grew up with Barbara Jordan as one of my idols."
Onwuachi-Willig's long list of awards and distinctions includes her 2017–2018 appointment as the William H. Neukom Fellows Research Chair in Diversity and the Law at the American Bar Foundation, and her selection by the National Law Journal as one of the "Minority 40 under 40" lawyers to watch.
In 2013, Yale University Press published her book According to Our Hearts: Rhinelander v. Rhinelander and the Law of the Multiracial Family. The work examines a story that came to her attention because of her own marriage to a white man, that of the interracial marriage between Leo and Alice Rhinelander in 1920s New York. Interracial marriage was legal in the state at that time, but the couple's marriage license identified both parties as white, and when a newspaper reported that Alice Rhinelander was "colored," the events that unfolded altered their lives forever.
Texas native Onwuachi-Willig earned an undergraduate degree from Grinnell College and a law degree from the University of Michigan, where she was a Clarence Darrow Scholar, a Michigan Law Review note editor, and an associate editor for the founding issue of the Michigan Journal of Race and Law. She also holds an MA, an MPhil., and a PhD in sociology and African American studies from Yale University.
Onwuachi-Willig says she is currently delving into historical and social legal work, in particular, the case of Emmet Till, a 14-year-old African American who was lynched in Mississippi in 1955, and Trayvon Martin, a black teenager shot and killed in Florida by a white man in 2012.
As dean, she says, she will be a passionate advocate of keeping the law school financially accessible. She credits Maureen O'Rourke, current LAW dean, who is stepping down to return to her teaching post, with putting the school on an excellent path forward, noting the value the school has placed on diversity.
"The current dean, Maureen O'Rourke, has been an excellent leader of the law school for 14 years," Onwuachi-Willig says. "She is widely recognized for her impact on legal education, and she has left an amazing foundation, which I will build on—of course through collaboration with the staff, faculty, and students. Bob Brown and Jean Morrison are tremendous leaders, and my priorities align well with their vision for the school. Boston University as a whole is on the move, and I am excited to play a role in advancing and continuing its incredible growth and development."
Members of the eight-person selection committee that recruited Onwuachi-Willig say that her commitment to legal education, extensive mentorship to other academics seeking tenure, and vision for the future of the law school made her a natural choice.
"She has it all," says search committee member Katharine Silbaugh, a LAW professor. "She is an exceptional scholar, recognized as a giant among legal academics, and one of the top writers in race and law today." She also notes Onwuachi-Willig's reputation as a generous mentor to young scholars both inside and beyond where she works. She says references noted her integrity, quiet confidence, drive, and tireless work ethic.
"Her work on diversity and inclusion across multiple institutions makes her the ideal leader for the 21st century legal landscape," Silbaugh says. "I can think of no better way to honor the exceptional legacy of Dean Maureen O'Rourke than to be led by someone with such a strong reputation for excellence, personal integrity, and humanity."
Committee member James E. Fleming, the Honorable Paul J. Liacos Professor of Law and LAW associate dean for intellectual life, says the school's focus on interdisciplinary scholarship, social justice, and public service will likely increase as part of the new dean's vision for LAW. Fleming says Onwuachi-Willig is one of the most important scholars writing about race and the law.
Another committee member, Adil Najam, dean of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies, says the incoming dean's interdisciplinary scholarship is a boon to BU.
"Angela Onwuachi-Willig not only brings amazing intellectual heft, but also a deep thoughtfulness and a caring spirit," Najam says. "I hope she will further strengthen the interdisciplinary spirit and links between BU Law and other schools and colleges at BU."

Men Also Experience Hormone Changes As They Age
Although hormone replacement therapy for men is less common than with women, it can be just as helpful for males suffering from age related health issues. As we age males and females both have declining hormone levels. In males this decline is gradual compared to the drastic changes that occur in women with menopause. For males the decline in hormones is called andropause or Low T.
Because the changes in men are gradual they may not notice these changes and therefor may not seek help. Beow is a list of Low T symptoms.
Symptoms of Low T:
- Fatigue
- Foggy thinking
- Poor memory
- Low libido
- Erectile dysfunction
- Depressed mood
- Increased body fat
- Decreased bone strength
At Southwest Integrative Medicine we take andropause and Low T symptoms seriously. Hormone replacement for men can help improve overall health and prevent weight related health conditions.

In this first step, you will read carefully the presentation of this
unit (phrasal verbs have been highlighted in yellow). A full
glossary below will help you understand it better. To get
information in Spanish, just place the arrow of your mouse on any
highlighted word without clicking.
Every year the
of a limited company must be approved by
auditors, usually
who belong to a
Chartered Accountants or
Corporative Accountants association.
They act on behalf of the
shareholders. Their duty is to
ensure that the directors are reporting correctly on the state of
affairs of the company and, if so, give a
certificate to the company.
They do not judge whether the directors are managing the company
efficiently or not. That is something the shareholders must judge
for themselves.
Harper & Grant have their
accounts audited by independent auditors in no way connected with
the firm. William
Buckhurst, as Company Secretary, is responsible for seeing that the
books and records for the period in question are ready for checking.
And, of course, it could make a bad impression if
the accounts department was not able to supply immediately any
information wanted by the auditors.
There exist several important account books, such as: the
ledger, the
cash book and the
petty cash book.
What precisely do the auditors check? They have to be satisfied that
everything which goes into making up the
Profit Statement, the
Balance Sheet and the
Directors' Report is correct.
The Profit Statement (sometimes called a Trading and Profit and Loss
Account) shows how the profit for the year is arrived at. It starts
with net sales or income, and deducts the cost of materials, work
and overhead charges. This leaves a
trading surplus, from which
charges, such as
depreciation on plant and
buildings, auditors' fees, and administration and selling costs must
be deducted to produce the net profit (or loss).
The Balance Sheet is a summarised statement showing the amount of
funds employed in the business and the sources from which these
funds are derived. On one side is listed the capital employed, which
usually consists of the issued share capital plus reserves and
retained earnings. This starts with the total cost of its fixed
(land, buildings and machinery) and any trade investments (interests
in other companies), followed by a breakdown of net current assets
(that is, cash and stocks, plus what the firm is owed by its
customers, less its
liabilities, or what it owes to
others). The totals on the two sides of the Balance Sheet must
agree; that is, come to the same figure. The total
dividend to be paid for the year
is a current liability, and is therefore an item in the compilation
of net current assets.
One of the most difficult jobs in preparing accounts is stock
valuation; that is, putting a
value on all goods in the hands of the company. It may seem easy, as
goods could be counted, and then the price paid for them could be
checked against the suppliers' invoices. But the value of
commodities (e.g. copper) often fluctuates. Furthermore, much of a
company's stock will consist of work in progress or finished stock,
and the volume of all stock is changing daily, if not hourly. The
rule for stock valuation is that it should be taken at cost price or
market price, whichever is the lower.
So far we have seen only one case of dishonesty in Harper & Grant,
when a clerk in the Sales Department took some cash left lying on a
desk. Unfortunately, there is always a temptation to people handling
money all the time to attempt, in a weak moment,
a fiddle which they feel will not be noticed. If they
get away with it
they may well be tempted to do it again, or make a regular practice of
it, perhaps on a larger scale.

Why did Sam leap? What would have changed if he waited?
We never really meet Sam before he leaps and know very little about his plans or motivation.
We aren't even totally sure what the original intent of the project was or if the official purpose differed from Sam (and Al's agenda). How much did Al know that night, did he leave to have plausible deniability and be out of reach to stop Sam? Was Sam meant to leap into other people's bodies, as an observer, as himself? Was it meant to allow changes? Did Sam himself build in side effects or safeguards to the process. Did he make Al's temporal immunity?
Lets explore some possibilities in no particular order.
1. Sam discovered that he *had* to leap before things werre ready through something he discovered or a message. Perhaps the leap home part 1 is even a closed time loop and he was actually trying again with different variables.
2. He didn't actually leap *early* he lied about things not being ready because he didn't want to risk the military sending thier own leaper (perhaps art of the reason Ben Song also grabbed the slot). And he put himself out of reach of being forced to perfect his work. By taking his brilliant mind, getting it swiss-cheesed and tjen being lost in time he made the price of leaping to high for the military
3. In the moment he leaped he asked for and sought the chance to fix things in his own life. He wanted to talk to his father again, he wanted to help women like his sister Katie, like Donna, was helping Al originally on that list did he even know about Beth before? Most of all hewanted to save Tom. But to save Tom took a whole bunch of extra work both before and after and he picked up additional strong goals along the way.
4. Maybe the leap itself changed him - showed him a path, let him choose then took the knowledge that he selected a path through time.
5. Obviously from a meta standpoint the sequal series is new but in universe GFT needed Sam and Ben - why and just how connected are they and other leapers?
6. Do we just take it at face value? He just had to prove it because it was his dream

I'm well aware its in the original saga sell. I'm also thinking beyond it And hopefully giving us something interesting to discuss.
He was pressured to prove his theories or lose funding but what did the government/military actually think they were funding/buying?
Was Sam stalling saying it was not ready because he always intended to use it in a subtly different way or didn't want to risk it being used in the wrong way.? Perhaps the experiment never actually went "a little ca ca" as Al said. Or at least it went less so then implied. Was Sam intended to be the original leaper? If things did go wrong what would the original intent have been?
How chosen was his original leap destination? Did Sam reprogram it if so how?
Was a man about to die considered a low individual to risk changing time? For example? Or did Sam (before being swiss cheesed) know he would be on a path to that child being of future importance (see 2nd ep of new series)
Try to see these things through additional lenses.
I'm asking what if there is more to the story - if Sam is leaping himself then it had to be Sam without the swiss cheese effect who set it up himself until mirror image.
We have implications from quantum physics, very interesting ones that are fun to ponder with his theory.
We have the evil leapers and we have the implication they came into being following certain events along the way - but is that the whole story?
Did Sam get a message or glimpse from the past, future, or alternate reality thst also motivated him? What could it have been.
Was it about his desire to make a better world or at see his lost loved ones one more time and maybe save them?
Could the evil leaper project have been inevitable and part of why they were about to be shut down. Did his project have to rise to fight back but also subtly influence the creation of a rival? This is time travel cause and effect don't always come in chronological order.
How might the lives he saved and created influence the future and what did he know about that - the new series already includes people who would not exist without Sam Beckett including the very child he saved in his very first leap appearing on a space shuttle.
We have Alia still out there leaping.
We have time working really really hard to create Sami Jo Fuller - why?
Is it about the past or the future and why does GFT need agents in the time stream.
Where is Donna where is Sami Jo in this?
We know how important Al is to Sam yet we do have one episode with a very different observer. Is that timeline even more different then we think. What happened to St. John in our history?
Young Al leaps into himself did that actually create his temporal immunity?
Was double leaping as Sam does, originally then im the leap home why he later became more physically himself rather tjen more inhabiiting someone's body. Until he fully pulled his body into time enough to actually leap as himself?
Al now has 4 daughters that did not previously exist. One of whom is very involved in 2022.
Then we have the new project. I am a big fan of the originsl series but I'm also giving the new one a real shot and hoping the subtle hints are going somewhere interesting. Janis, Beth, and Magic being in this give me hope and if you take a picture of that phone at the begining - several are last names of people touched by Sam - Ben also decided to leap early and with a subtle plan he no longer remembers - I hope we see why and learn a lot more. I know Scott isn't in it right now and Dean is gone but I am cautiously optomistic and finding the parallels reviving some of my old musings.
Happy pondering and discussion - because thats what this is - an attempt to get people talking since I finally decided to actually register and join the conversation after years of lurking .

These are all very good points and theories to discuss. I am very interested in seeing call backs to the original series and storylines. I too am wondering if Sammy Jo is out there, you're right it did seem that god, time, whatever was doing everything to ensure Sammy Jo came to be. and I'm also wondering what is happening/happened with Donna. She was Sam's wife I hope we get some things answered about that. I am looking forward, as well to see what has become of the evil leapers I read an interview that they may be involved sometime in upcoming episodes.

It was heavily mentioned in the Trilogy episodes that Sami Jo was the brains behind a theory to bring Sam home, now Janis is the smart *** working with a new mysterious code, so in between the project being mothballed and Janis taking the initiative where is Sami Jo?
We are only 4 episodes in of a run of 18, agreed we need answers to whereabouts of Donna Sami Jo plus also Tom Beckett and a nod to Gooshie.

Weather prophets eye the sky
I hadn't thought of Jeannie as a Shakespearean soothsayer. The portentousness of her warning, though, did have the ring of "Beware the Ides of March." Or May.
I had meandered to her plot to ask her if it is going to be a hot summer. I thought she'd know the signs. Thing is, I might have a shot at corn this year. But it would need a spell of unusually persistent sunshine through, say, the Ides of June, July, and August to ripen it before the onset of winter.
But Jeannie didn't offer me a heat wave. Instead she said: "Watch out."
Then she specified when: "From May 18 to May 22." Then the voice of doom: "That's when it strikes."
It was late frosts that were on her mind, which, to a foolhardy potato, may not be quite as dire as assassination was to Caesar, but near enough. Your spuds can be set back a month.
As for a long-range forecast, Jeannie said she really had no idea because the weather nowadays is so changeable that you can't be certain what will happen when or why. Excuses, excuses. I do wonder where all the old lore (as it is sometimes put in Glasgow) "has went."
John and Cathy Macleod's future-gazing was no better than Jeannie's.
They suggested listening to "Heather the Weather," a forecaster on Scottish TV. But we agreed that the predictions of such professionals are unreliable much beyond breakfast.
Besides, as John pointed out, this particular weather-person smiles just as radiantly when foretelling cataclysms as when recommending a new tube of sun-cream. She even speaks of Shetland weather (which is always atrocious) as if nothing could be more delightful. Can such an attitude be relied upon?
Well, it turns out the lore does still have some credence next door: Red, pointing at a twiggy conglomeration atop the large ash tree by the allotment gate, observed: "Nests high up, it's going to be a wet summer." Not one I've heard before, but Red sounds sure, and anyway he has about a 90 percent chance of being right. (Though wouldn't you think that a prophetic crow would build lower among the leaves, for extra protection?)
Talking of ash, that tree figures in one item of weather lore people still quote. It concerns the timing of leafing. "Oak before ash, there'll be a splash. Ash before oak, there'll be a soak." Notably, this saying predicts degrees of wetness only. It's along the lines of what they say down in Yorkshire: "If you can't see the hills, it's raining. If you can see them, it's about to rain." This year the ash and the oak are leafing simultaneously, so does this mean drought or what?
MUCH of our British weather lore comes from shepherds. "Red sky at night, shepherds' delight. Red sky in the morning, shepherds' warning." Someone called The Shepherd of Banbury even came up with "Rules" that were compiled in a 17th-century book. He says "Sure Signs of Rain" are when "Geese gaggle more than usual" and "Oxen lie on their Right Sides ... and lick their Hoofs," when "Spiders are restless and uneasy" and cockerels "crow at unusual Hours." These rules don't help me much on our hoofless plots. True, we have spiders, but would you know a rested and easy spider when you saw one? And cockerels: They always crow at unusual hours.
Heigh-ho. S'pose I could grow rice instead of corn. Or switch to watercress.

Simple Tips on How to Choose the Best House Cleaning Service
Before you schedule a home cleaning company …
When trying to find the very best house cleaning service, it's simple to get overwhelmed with details overload.
Arranging through sites, getting quotes, and consulting with each company might take numerous days, maybe even weeks, to go through.
Even then, you still might not make certain whether you're getting the most out of your cash or not.
So to assist you browse the world of housecleaning, we're sharing 5 Insider Tips on How to Choose a House Cleaning Service.
You'll learn what to search for in a respectable home cleaning company, the best times to book, and how to make your cleaning company more affordable.
Make sure to read this before reserving anywhere if you've never reserved a housecleaning service prior to or are in the market for a brand-new clean service.
1. Reduce the Scope
Decide what you need cleaned up in your house
What do you really require aid with?
Of all, it's crucial to take stock of the things you really desire cleaned since not all cleaning services carry out the same services. For example, some do your laundry, make the beds, wash the meals, and so on– so it's crucial to know what you need before you book and make sure that the business you employ does those tasks.
Do not presume anything. There's absolutely nothing even worse than coming home and anticipating the laundry to be folded and recognize it's refrained from doing since it's not part of their service contract with you.
Secondly, if you're on a spending plan, picking what you truly need cleaned is a method to personalize your cleaning to make it a little cheaper.
Maybe all you truly need aid on is the kitchen area and restrooms? Some cleaning company permit you to book cleansings for simply parts of your house (generally the bathrooms and kitchen because they're the hardest parts of the home to clean). Dusting and wiping down of other surface areas they take care of themselves.
Or perhaps you just require some assistance with your housecleaning once a month instead of every week or every two weeks? If you don't have kids, this is a more practical option, but even if you do, getting a break as soon as a month can be something you eagerly anticipate.
2. The More Frequent the Appointments, the Better
Frequency matters
Need a regular monthly cleaning, bi-weekly, or weekly cleaning? Or maybe just a one time clean for vacating? Take a truly close look at how frequently you require home cleaning visits. Perhaps you can get away with bi-weekly cleansings instead of weekly?
With that in mind though, usually the more routine the service is the more affordable (in regards to expense per see) it will be. For instance, bi-weekly cleansings will be cheaper per visit, than month-to-month visits, sometimes costing just a few dollars more each month. You might likewise attempt going weekly, then adjusting your cleaning company in the future if you seem like you do not need it as frequently, or vice versa by going month-to-month and increasing the frequency if required.
Move outs and one-time consultations will nearly constantly cost the most per see due to the fact that of how extensive the cleaning is and due to the fact that it's not a continuous, routine service.
3. Look Up Reviews Or Ask Friends For Recommendations
Asking buddies, family and coworkers who have had worked with a house cleaning company prior to for their suggestion can save you a great deal of headaches because you can be relatively sure that if they had a good experience, you will too. That's one of the primary methods Scrubbi grew the way we did.
A side benefit of going through a cleaning company that was advised you is that in many cases, they'll offer a recommendation credit to you AND a credit to the individual advising you. It's a win-win for both of you.
If you don't have anybody to ask, or want to do your own search, researching a companies' client evaluations can offer you a concept of what you're entering.
Look them up on Google, Yelp, Homestars, and their own website for evaluations that individuals have actually installed.
4. Flat Rates and Walk-throughs
Flat rate is much better
You know that jaw-dropping cleaning quote that's €100 less than the others?
Yes it sounds excellent and all however you'll absolutely desire to double check to see if it's a flat rate.
Possibilities are that it's not and that they've grossly under approximated the job.
Which is how you could wind up with a surprise €350 costs at the end when you thought you were getting it for about €170.
Not just that, however the effectiveness and effort of the house maids is not something you will know beforehand– a flat rate is more steady and makes sure that you understand what you're paying for and aren't shocked when you see the final bill.
Do a walk-through
This is one we can't stress enough.
When the cleaning has been done, do a walk-through with the cleaner to ensure that nothing has been missed out on.
This gives you an opportunity to see if anything was missed out on or if an area of your home requires a bit more attention to be done a bit better.
When the cleaners leave, it's virtually impossible to get them to come back the same day, so ensure whatever looks excellent before they leave.
If you can't be house at the time of service, ensure to do the walk-through as quickly as possible. The more credible cleaning business have a cleaning company guarantee but you usually have to notify them within 24 hours about any issues.
Visit our website: www.ecocleansolutions.ie
5. Appearance For A Better Cleaning Experience
There are advantages and downsides to each and those differences result in huge differences in terms of your experience.
Whatever from online client assistance chat to scheduling, consultation pointers, and more, we use technology to develop a much better client experience for you.
We're likewise up front with the expenses and do not try to fool you with "man-hours" or charge you for cleaning add-ons that you do not need.
Exactly what are "man-hours"?
What occurs is individuals fall into the trap of being estimated a rate per hour but they do not understand is that this cost per hour is per cleaner.
So for instance, if a company says they'll charge you €25 per man hour and three cleaners arrive, you're really being charged €75 per hour (3 x €25).
The other issue with charging by the hour is that the cleaners do not have a reward to work harder or faster– in truth, they in fact have an incentive to go SLOWER!
If you're delighted with your cleaning, fortunately we've found a service to both these problems by charging a flat rate and providing our cleaners a perk.
This ensures that you get the excellent quality cleaning that you're looking for without the surprise expense at the end.
The "More Maids" fallacy
I get why individuals believe that having more cleaners is better.
It makes sense to think that having more house maids will suggest that your home will be cleaner and be finished in less time than simply one.
But that line of thinking is based on a couple of presumptions like: A) all maids are terrific at cleaning and B) there will be no chit chat or wasting of time while they're in your house.
However while 'B' isn't as big of a problem, 'A' certainly is.
The reality is, it's challenging enough to discover one excellent maid that: focuses on information, has the understanding to go out different stains on a range of surfaces, is dependable, reveals up regularly, and works effectively.
Having entire groups of 2, 3, or more fantastic house maids like that are– while not difficult -really, very unusual.
Perk: What to Look Out For in Move Out Cleaning Services
Moving in or out of your home? The above ideas still get one of the most part with some changes. Here's a quick introduction of what to look out for:
Reserve early
Not only can it get more expensive as you get closer to the end of the month, reservations fill up FAST. If you wait to long, you might miss out and need to clean the house yourself (which doesn't help when you're already hectic) or you'll have to opt for any aid you can discover– not exactly perfect for a time delicate job like moving out of a home.
Flat rate is still better
Go for one that cleans for a flat rate instead of a per hour rate if you're booking a move-out service. The effectiveness and effort of the housemaids is not something you will know in advance advertisement a flat rate guarantees that you understand what you're spending for and aren't struck with a shock when you see the final bill.
Do a walk-through
This is one we can't stress enough. Once the cleaning has been done, do a walk-through with the cleaner to ensure that absolutely nothing has actually been missed. If you can't be house at the time of service, make certain to do the walk-through as quickly as possible. The more credible cleaning companies have a cleaning company warranty however you generally have to notify them within 24 hours about any problems.
If you choose to go through an independent cleaner, many times they don't have a service warranty and will instantly dispute any issues you claim if you bring it up with them. The exact same opts for anything that might have been taken or harmed so once again, double check your insurance to see if you're covered.

Matthew Klein
Warner / 320 pages / $23.99
The dirty secret of con artist novels is that to work well, they should be less about the con and more about the artist. Finding a way to make the reader care about a criminal whose primary goal is to rip off others can be exceedingly difficult, but Matthew Klein, in his American debut, has the best possible asset at his disposal: a commanding, wry voice equally comfortable with one-liners as it is with introspection and character development. Fifty-something Kip Largo is out of jail, out of options and out of time, especially when he finds out his barely-adult son, Toby, is in trouble, thanks to a few wrong decisions involving the Russian mob. So when a lovely named Lauren approaches Kip with the opportunity to swindle her husband, of course he's going to take it. Klein sets up the elaborate con and its double-crossings, dizzying schemes and betrayals, but never loses sight that the real story is how Kip and Toby relate and react to each other as men who failed in their responsibilities and in living the honest life - and whose sacrifices take them in surprising

In Britain, it's still hip to be Labour
Last week, Britain's flamboyant Tony Blair jetted off to Moscow to win Russian support for President Bush's anti-Iraq coalition. Meanwhile, staid Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith, stayed home to rally the party faithful in Bournemouth.
Although Mr. Blair's mission was only moderately successful, the White House was grateful. For the British Prime Minister is about the only European leader to agree with President Bush's call for immediate action against Saddam Hussein. Blair calls the Iraqi leader "an international outlaw."
Mr. Duncan Smith is as supportive of the US position on Iraq as is Blair. "Is it right to move against Iraq's arsenal now? The answer has to be 'yes,'" he said at Bournemouth.
This week, members of Parliament returned to Westminster from their long summer holiday to find that both Iraq and the domestic political contest have been upstaged by the terrorist blast in far-off Bali, Indonesia. But whatever the headlines, as long as Britain's two-party system prevails, either Labour or Tories (Conservatives) will be in power. What remains to be seen, however, is how the party leaders' approach to international politics will affect support from their own constituents.
While Duncan Smith may be in agreement with Blair on Iraq, on European issues he has to tread carefully. His own party is badly divided on whether or not to join Europe's new common currency, the euro, and on how tight a union the European Union should become. During the glory days of Margaret Thatcher's reign (1979-90), the Conservatives went from strength to strength while Labour seemed to be declining into irrelevance.
But today, the shoe is on the other foot. Tony Blair won his first victory in 1997 by a landslide. He did pretty well in last year's elections, too, with the Labourites occupying 412 of the House of Commons' 659 seats. The Tories salvaged only 164 seats, and selected Duncan Smith to lead them out of the political wilderness. At Bournemouth, Duncan Smith received wild applause for his steely statement, "Never underestimate the determination of a quiet man." After five years in opposition, the Tories are hungry to be back in power.
But it's hard to compete for media attention against a prime minister who pals with Mr. Bush and looms large on the international screen. Duncan Smith has been trying desperately to get the media to notice that the Conservative Party has changed, that it is no longer a contradictory combination of old-fashioned family values, male chauvinism, and sleaze. Last week, party chair Theresa May took the bull by the horns and acknowledged that some Tory politicians had behaved badly, while others were "hopelessly stuck in the past." "You know what some people call us?" she asked. "The nasty party."
This drew an immediate rebuke from Lord Tebbit, Conservative Party chairman during the Thatcher years. The achievements of those years were possible precisely because the Tories were the "nasty party" and not trying to be all things to all men, according to the irate former minister.
The Conservative leadership of today claims it intends "to complete the revolution by Margaret Thatcher." In practice, it is not harking back to the Thatcher themes of privatization and individual self-reliance, but rather promising to do better than the Blair regime in education, hospitals, and housing urgent pocketbook issues for the voters of today. Like George Bush in America, the Tories say they will give people greater freedom of choice in all these matters.
"Tell the world: the Conservatives are back," Duncan Smith concluded. The first test will come in regional elections next spring. If the Tory record in these elections is disappointing, the "quiet man" may not be around much longer.

12 Mar 2011 – A Prayer@Jemak Mosque for the People in Japan!
Masjid Jamek/Jamek Mosque is located at Petra Jaya adjacent to the State Library. Regarding houses of worship, the mosque is the most peaceful and serene place for me. There are no statues, icons, deities etc inside; instead there are pretty stained glass windows and tall pillars with tasteful mosaic domes covered with beautiful Arabic calligraphy. Today, a silent prayer was said for the people affected by the earthquake and tsunamis.
The Astana=palace in English, resides the current Yang di-Pertua Negeri or the Head of State/Governor of Sarawak. This palace is situated on the north bank of the river, just across the river from Kuching Waterfront. Charles Brooke (3rd and last Rajah) built this as a bridal gift to his wife Margaret in 1870.
Parliament Building by KCH River with Lawrence looking across the river at the KCH City Mosque.
Lunch@White Rajah Restaurant***/Regency Rajah Court Hotel. Food so-so. Lawrence & Mabel know the GM/Mr Lang? and coincidently he was also having a late lunch. Asked if it was possible to buy the disposable place mats and coasters of old historic prints and was immediately presented with two sets. The camera was happily clicking away while Lawrence went to get the car and we ladies took our time to admire the decor. As we were approaching the door, this young waiter approached us to ask if our bill will be settled by Mr Lang? What a polite and diplomatic way to inform us that the bill was not paid! Mabel & I thought that Lawrence took care of the bill. But the point is that it is impressive how this young waiter dealt with the situation. Must write to the management to congratulate them for such service.
Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends -Walt Disney

Respiration therapy with maxon motor.
There are a multitude of sleep diseases and sleep disorders - therefore there is also a large range of available therapy options. Respiration devices for use in clinics and at home have one thing in common: Brushless DC motors, from maxon, are at the core of the device.
In medical applications, respiration therapy is increasingly gaining importance. It has been proven that correct breathing improves the blood circulation and optimises the oxygen supply. Respiration therapy concerns itself with disorders and diseases of the lungs and vocal tract. Home respiration is an area of intensive care in which patients are mechanically ventilated to treat temporary or permanent failure of the nervous system or respiratory muscles, even after they have been discharged from the clinic. A differentiation is made between invasive and non-invasive ventilation. Pressure-controlled or volume-controlled ventilation methods are mostly used, or in some cases only assisted ventilation treatment is given.
Respiration therapy devices are also used for patients with sleep-related respiratory disorders. These devices generate a positive airway pressure that keeps the airways open while the patient is sleeping. The treatment pressure is applied through a ventilation mask (nasal, nasal cushion or full-face mask). This ventilation mask must be equipped with an exhalation valve in order to ensure that the exhaled air is discharged. Today, the range of sleep diseases and sleep disorders are met with a wide range of available therapies. The basis for these are formed by mono-level therapies (CPAP) and self-regulating modes (auto CPAP), in which the pressure fluctuates within previously defined pressure limits depending on the occurring events. These respiratory devices adapt to the patient and are largely used for treating sleep apnea.
Brushless DC motors safeguard the correct airway pressure
Combined treatment methods are available for patient groups that have more specific needs. For more than 20 years, HOFFRICHTER GmbH from Schwerin (Germany) has been manufacturing respiration therapy devices. These devices are very quiet and offer high pressure stability. To allow accurate control over the airway pressure, a 22mm brushless DC motor, from the maxon EC family, is used. This motor drives the core component of the respiration device: the turbine engineered by HOFFRICHTER. Together with the turbine, the motor - which is mounted in a special box - provides the respectively required treatment pressure.
The requirements on the motors for the sensitive respiration devices were high. As the respiration devices are life-sustaining systems, motors with high quality and a long service life are mandatory. Furthermore the brushless maxon motors also have to fulfill other important criteria. The motors optimised for this application have to provide top performance. Simultaneously the motor has to have very high dynamic properties. Depending on the breathing of the patient, the speed has to be adapted constantly, to provide an optimal and pleasant therapy. Of course the size of the motors play an important role; the space within the devices is limited, therefore the devices have to be small yet powerful. The noise level is a factor that cannot be neglected, particularly as the respiration therapy devices are mainly used at night.

Pair of Tiny Lithgow Lamps Red
Product code - 0654LTR
AU$190 the pair
Sold on 9th Dec 2018
Here we have a pair of tiny Lithgow Lamps with cast iron bases and red glass fonts. The glass is a lovely rich ruby red colour and the cast iron bases are embossed all around with Kookaburras. The collar is marked "Lithgow Lamps" and the burners and chimneys are original to the lamps. We also had a pair of these lamps with dark emerald green fonts.
To the best of our knowledge these lamps were made in Asia for the Australian market but it is difficult to find very much information about the company. We have seen several other larger banquet style lamps made by the same company that also feature Kookaburras on the base and the same style of burners and chimneys.
We would have to classify these lamps as vintage rather than antique. It is likely that they were made in the 1980s to suit the decorating style of the period. As much as we would like them to be antique, they aren't but they are still a lovely example of Australiana that is very collectable and likely to become more so in the future.
This pair of tiny Lithgow Lamps are in excellent condition, without any chips, cracks or damage of any kind. They would look lovely sitting at either end of a mantle piece or on a window sill with the light behind them. Because of their small size, it will be easy to find a suitable spot to display them. Either way, they are sure to be a welcome addition to your home or your collection
Height to the top of the burner – 19.5cm (7.75″)
Height to the top of the chimney – 30cm (12″)
Diameter of the font – 9.5cm (3.75)
Width of the base – 11cm (4.25″)
Further information
For more information about this pair of tiny Lithgow Lamps, please feel free to contact us and quote "Product code – 0654LTG"

GUYSON CORP. introduced a lean robotic blast system recently that is designed for single-piece-flow processing of precision components and is offered with special adaptations for shot peening or surface preparation of turbine buckets and blades. The Model RB-600 is available in suction-blast or pressure-blast versions, and is compatible with the full spectrum of shot and grit blasting or peening media.
A 6-axis Fanuc Robotics LR Mate 200iC robot arm rigidly suspended from the removable roof of the RB-600 blast cabinet directs a single blast gun or pressure nozzle. Nozzle motion is coordinated with component rotation by a servomotor-driven spindle that is controlled as a seventh axis of robotic motion, enabling the correct blast gun stand-off distance, angle to the substrate and surface speed to be accurately and constantly maintained as the robotic blast machine follows the contours of complex-shaped parts during the programmed impact treatment routine.
Compared to multiple-gun automatic blast machines in which the nozzle angles required for coverage of a particular component are approximated, the RB-600 uses, at minimum, half the compressed air, delivering substantial energy savings as it precisely executes the process recipe for each separate component. Set-up time, gun adjustment and trial runs for changeover to process a different part are eliminated by the robotic blast system.
To simplify loading and unloading of parts, the rotary spindle and component-holding fixture are mounted on the gear motor-actuated flip-down door of the RB-600 robotic blast system, so blasting operations are performed with the spindle in a horizontal position, and unload/load while it is oriented vertically within easy reach of the operator. For shot peening of turbine blade roots or for grit-blast surface preparation in the coatings work cell, purge air is supplied to the spindle base, and a swing clamp is provided to press and seal the bucket and its urethane rubber mask against the part-holding fixture, forcing a flow of compressed air through the cooling vents of the hollow blade to prevent entrapment of blasting media particles inside components.

Ristorante Joia is quite simply my favorite restaurant in Milan for many reasons: the delicious food of course, the calming, quiet atmosphere of the restaurant, the values that underpin the decisions made by Joia's visionary chef/owner Pietro Leemann and the reasonable prices (especially for a Michelin-starred restaurant).
Joia's lunch menu has many seasonal and beautiful options but I invariably choose the Piatto Quadro ("Square Meal"), an ingenious invention where lunch diners have the pleasure of trying five of the chef's newest recipe creations presented on a single square plate. Since the price is so reasonable for such an exceptional place it's easy to go back again (and again!).
Pietro Leemann's serious vision for eating well plays out in the use of super-fresh, flavourful ingredients and the satisfying texture and consistency found in each dish. Going to his restaurant means trying whatever is in season in that moment, presented in a creative, attractive yet simple manner. The flavour pairings are occasionally unexpected but always harmonious, and I have never tasted an unsuccessful combination. Pietro enjoys using Lombardy's local cheeses as well as seeds and other pleasing ingredients that go crunch when you put them in your mouth. It will be an unprecedented flavor experience who will probably leave you satisfied.
Going to Joia for lunch is one of the pleasures of living in Milan. The recommendation of a vegetarian restaurant in Milan may be surprising, coming from a carnivore born in Kansas. Pay Joia a visit, and you will see why. The restaurant is right in the beating heart of Milan's eclectic district of Porta Nuova, near the Giardini Pubblici, and can be easily reached with the underground.

Chapter: Comic
At least you won't get a cliff hanger in that movie.
No, sad to see it go really.
LOL. Wrong theater, me thinks.
They better start moving! 😉
At least they could get good seats.
That they did. 😉
Perhaps the force has yet to awaken…
Not in that theatre at least. 😉
Where were YOU on December 18, 2015?
It was great, Mark! 😉
You're not alone, you're never alone… 'cos he sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good. So be good for goodness sake.

I chat with LaTisha Styles who went from trying to make a living after graduating university during the recession to now working for herself and loving every minute of it.
Long description:
LaTisha Styles is proof that you don't have to be stuck on one particular path even if it seems like the odds are against you. Getting a degree in Spanish and trying to grow her career during the recession wasn't easy, but instead of throwing her hands up and giving in, LaTisha powered through and is now banking serious bank!
How I got to know LaTisha was through her YouTube channel. There really aren't that many people making interesting personal finance focused videos these days, but she got the formula right. It's not surprise she has close to 8,000 YouTube subscribers! LaTisha is funny, entertaining, but at the root of it she just offers some really good advice. Simple stuff like trying the envelope budgeting method. Or only buying stuff on her list and avoiding going to the mall as a social activity. Simple stuff we can all integrate in our lives right now to start saving a bit more.
But as I mentioned in this episode, there comes a time when there's nowhere else to cut back. You can only budget so much, and when you get to that point, it's time to start looking at other avenues to make money. For me, I've always had a second (or third) job on top of my full-time job. Honestly, if I didn't have my side hustles, I know I wouldn't be where I'm at right now financially.
So if you're in need of some major motivation and some helpful tips on how to fix your finances, make sure to check out LaTisha's YouTube channel and website. And if you consider yourself an Actionista and want to follow in LaTisha's footsteps towards entrepreneurship, she has an awesome Facebook group you need to check out.
LaTisha's Top Money Tip
You have to become the type of person who can handle more money [...] Continue investing in yourself, in your knowledge. Read books from people who have been where you want to go [...] Just learn more.

Obama to Tap Sperling to Lead Economic Council
President Barack Obama will announce a major restructuring of his economic team Friday, including the selection of Gene Sperling to lead the National Economic Council, a White House official said.
Sperling, a policy adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, was widely expected to be named to the post. He was NEC director for four years and deputy director for three years during the Clinton administration.
The White House announced in September that NEC Director Lawrence Summers would step down to return to the faculty at Harvard University. He will start his work at the school this month, according to a Harvard statement released Tuesday.
The president will also announce Jason Furman as assistant to the president for economic policy and as the NEC's principal deputy director. In addition, Obama will announce his intent to nominate Katharine Abraham to the Council of Economic Advisers and Heather Higginbottom as deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Obama will make all of the announcements during a speech on the economy in Landover, Md., where he will tour a window company.
On Thursday, Obama named former Commerce Secretary William Daley as his new chief of staff. Meanwhile, the president is on the lookout for a new press secretary — spokesman Robert Gibbs announced Wednesday that he will step down early next month.
