The time for theory is over. The time for action is now. We
are in the midst of business turbulence and turmoil greater
than we have ever seen before. Economic storms end, as they
always do, but we will never go back to the good old ways of
doing business. Today, competition is fiercer and more determined
than ever. The challenges are greater and more demanding.
The only way to survive and thrive will be to build a great
business that can withstand the economic shocks of any market
and rise to the top of its industry.
The market is flooded with business books that describe
what an excellent business should look like. Descriptive information
is enlightening and inspirational. It makes you want to
be like the ideal leader running the ideal businesses they describe.
This book is different. It is deliberately prescriptive. It explains
the seven keys to business greatness and exactly what
you have to do to achieve them. No theory, just practical steps
you can take immediately, with clear explanations of exactly
how you can measure how well you are doing at each step along
the way.
You'll learn what to do, how to do it, and the key numbers
you need to watch each day and month. You'll learn how to set
clear targets and attach them to meaningful metrics. You will
learn the very best, practical, and proven strategies and techniques
practiced by the top businesses in every industry, with
the goal of building a high-energy, high-morale, high-profit
business of your own.
This book will show you how to attract customers, keep
them coming back, and have them bring their friends. It tells
you how to focus and concentrate your time, money, and resources
on the most profitable products, services, and activities.
This book reveals how you can achieve better, more predictable
results, especially financial results, faster than before. And
how you can create a culture of continuous improvement to
develop a lead over your competitors, and then continually
widen that lead. As you learn how to move from wherever you
are to wherever you want to be in the future, along the way
you'll also see how to measure each critical variable and how to
improve in each essential area. Especially, you'll learn how to
trigger the same response, over and over, by people inside and
outside your company, who will say . . .
''This is a great business!''
This book gives you a series of clear, simple, practical, and
powerful methods and techniques you can use to build a great
business in any market and in the face of any competition. Let's

For myself and hundreds of thousands of people like me, the Coachella lineup coming out is a special day. It is not just a mere list of bands or DJ's, it's a glimpse into our favorite days of the year. These are the artists that are going to play the sets we never forget and the 200+ list of names is there for you to explore.
After spending hours researching artists one by one in 2011 and 2012 I had the idea to create an app that does it for you. Three long and all consuming years later the app, now called FestEvo, does just that. With over 800 festivals with their current and past years lineups any artist that has played a festival in the last 16 years will be listed in the app. With Coachella being the pinnacle of festivals you would expect every artist that plays it to have played many festivals leading up to it.
This was not the case when I added the 2017 Coachella lineup to the database. I was shocked to discover that 16 artists had to be added to the database. Who the heck are these people and how did they book COACHELLA as their first festival?
Let's break them down and see if we can determine how they pulled it off.

KOZHIKODE: A video of a tough guy snatching the gold chain of actress Meera Vasudeva at a busy bus bay in Kozhikode is fast-spreading in the social media.
Below the post the caption says that "share this maximum to help catch the thief".
However, it has turned up that it is a video secretly shot by an onlooker, while the shooting of a documentary was going on.
In this documentary directed by Suresh Achus, Meera Vasudev and Rajeev Rajan are playing important characters.
The post had given the impression that a robber was snatching Meera's chain and running away.

TRENTON – Officials of the New Jersey State Lottery and the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, Inc. met this week at Lottery headquarters to kick-off the New Jersey Lottery's annual "Not 18 Yet? No Bet" Awareness Campaign.
Both organizations are placing renewed emphasis on their continued commitment to responsible play and the prevention of underage gambling. This campaign is held each year to coincide with the American Gaming Association's annual Responsible Gaming Education Week, scheduled this year August 2-6.
"This State Lottery has a longstanding commitment to promoting responsible play and discouraging underage gambling of any kind," said Acting Executive Director Carole Hedinger. "We have an active partnership with the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey and look forward to working with them for years to come on a myriad of responsible gaming outreach efforts."
As part of its efforts, the New Jersey Lottery has launched re-distribution of its "Not 18 Yet? No Bet" brochure to retailers and players. This brochure provides information about the major types of teen betting and some of the signs to recognize that could indicate problem gambling in teens. In addition, the brochure directs concerned individuals about where to go for advice and help. This brochure is available at each of 6,100 registered Lottery retailer locations, at all Lottery-sponsored exhibits and events, as well as through the Lottery website www.njlottery.net. In addition, the "Not 18 Yet? No Bet" slogan and the 1-800-GAMBLER ® Helpline number are continually included on Lottery's digital messaging screens at all retailer locations.
"I am very grateful to the Lottery for their support and commitment to all of our initiatives," said Donald Weinbaum the Council's Executive Director. "The Lottery continues to be a great partner in promoting the importance of playing responsibly and in publicizing the 1-800-GAMBLER ® number. If a parent thinks their child might have a gambling problem, they can call that number for advice and helpful resources."
Today, the Lottery provided the Council on Compulsive Gambling with additional "Not 18 Yet? No Bet" brochures, as well as supplies of pencils for distribution to students who attend the Council's high school lecture series. The pencils contain the message "LOTTERY IS NOT CHILD'S PLAY, You Must Be 18 Or Older To Play The NJ Lottery" and they help in the effort to combat underage gambling by publicizing that reminder.
The Lottery has participated on the Council of Compulsive Gambling's Board of Directors since June 1999. Furthermore, the Council's problem gambling helpline number (1-800-GAMBLER®) is printed on every Lottery ticket, brochure and sign, and appears as a tag line on the Lottery's radio and television advertisements. Finally, the Lottery's website directs visitors to the Council's site (www.800gambler.org) which provides the public with free information and help for compulsive gambling.
Lottery Acting Executive Director Carole Hedinger and Donald Weinbaum, Executive Director of the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey, discuss Lottery's annual "Not 18 Yet? No Bet" Awareness Campaign with media. The campaign is held each year to coincide with the American Gaming Association's annual Responsible Gaming Education Week, scheduled this year August 2-6.

Two Joplin parents whose son was headed home from his high school graduation when he was sucked away by a deadly tornado are beginning to heal as they head into the first holiday season without him.
The Joplin Globe reported that (http://bit.ly/sF8llw) Mark and Trish Norton are trying not to think of their loss. Instead, they say, they are focused on how their community rallied together, the strength of their faith, the support of friends and family, and the kindness of strangers touched by their son's story.
Will Norton's body wasn't found until five days after the May 22 tornado hit. The EF5 twister packed 200 mph winds and killed 161 people. During the search, the horrific story captivated the nation. The storm pulled Will Norton out of the family's sport utility vehicle as his father tried to hold onto him.
"How could you be at graduation, one of the happiest days of your life, and then have a cloud come down out of nowhere and suck you up out of a car?" asks Trish Norton, Will's mother, with a rueful shake of her head. "He wasn't driving drunk. He wasn't doing anything he wasn't supposed to. ... He was just coming home from graduation. Unfair."
But six months later, Trish Norton said she has reached a turning point. She still grieves, but she wants to start greeting each day with the same attitude exhibited by her son.
"I'm a positive person, an outgoing person, and I don't want to be sad any longer," she says. "Will was very positive and did really awesome things for people. I'm trying to continue that tradition."
Will Norton had a wide following on YouTube, racking up millions of hits on videos ranging from an informational piece about pet sugar gliders to chronicles of his travels. He had been accepted into the prestigious film program at Chapman University in Orange, Calif.
The final post on his Twitter account came at 11 a.m. on the morning of May 22: "I'm graduating today!"
Will Norton rode home from graduation with his father, while his mother and sister, Sara, left a little earlier in a different vehicle so they could get ready for a reception planned at the family's home.
His mom and sister had barely reached the family's home when the electricity went off. Trish Norton recalled that her daughter was on the phone with her husband.
"He told her to hit the garage door because they would be coming in really quick," Trish Norton said.
They never made it. More than 150 volunteers were involved in the search, and thousands of people followed the "Help Find Will Norton" Facebook page.
Mark Norton still walks with a limp, though it's a miracle that he's walking at all.
He had 17 broken bones, and rescue workers had to use the Jaws of Life to remove him from the wreckage of his battered vehicle.
Trish said her husband has thrown himself into his work. The manager of Great Southern Travel, he also owns Mark Norton Properties and is building an apartment complex on North Main Street.
"Most of our construction is high-end homes, but we're building a 60-unit apartment complex," he says. "We had the property out there near Airport Drive and felt like it was something we could do. There are so many people who need a place to live now. We're getting ready to start leasing the first units."
Trish and Mark Norton, who have lived in Joplin their entire lives, say watching the community rally after the tragedy has been heartening.
"You see what the people in this area are made of," Mark Norton said. "The true spirit of Joplin comes out. We should all be proud of our community, the citizens, our leaders. Really remarkable things have happened."
The kindness shown by friends and total strangers also has been a blessing to the family, Trish said. The first flowers the family members received in sympathy for their loss came from an Australian fan of Will's YouTube videos.
"(Will's) story went out everywhere," she says. "I still get cards from people."
More than 50,000 people still follow Will's Facebook page, which Sara Norton continues to update with news from the family.
His memory also lives through a presidential scholarship created in his memory at Chapman University.
Plus, there's a project under way to build a baseball field that will bear Will's name for children with disabilities. Donations made through Rotary International are paying for the project; Mark is a Joplin Rotary member.
"Will always cared for people so much, and he would be happy that there was good coming out of this," says Mark. "He would be proud that he left a legacy that will do so much good for other people. It's a good feeling."

A retired shipbuilder and construction worker, he enjoys sailing and photography. ++ Two years ago, before being interviewed, he developed cor pulmonale. He was hospitalized 4 times last year and made multiple emergency department visits. He lived at home with his children until his most recent hospitalization, after which he was admitted to a nursing home because of intractable weakness, shortness of breath, and dependence on others to perform his activities of daily living. He has completed a do-not-resuscitate (DNR) document and stopped taking anticoagulants and immunosuppressants. ++ Perspectives ++ Mr B and his son were interviewed by the author during a medical grand rounds devoted to discussing palliative care at the University of California, San Francisco's Moffitt-Long Hospitals. Dr G, Mr B's primary care physician, was interviewed by a section editor later that month. ++ MR B: I've had a good life. I think when the time comes I'm ready. I don't want extended medical treatment or a breathing machine. My wife died very young of an incurable brain tumor. She begged people to smother her with a pillow or something. She became gradually worse until finally about the only thing she could move was her eyes. We nursed her along from when she became immobile until she finally passed away. It was a long, drawn-out affair for the children, so I think they've had plenty of experience. I wasn't holding her hand when she died, and I've never forgiven myself. Hindsight…If you really knew what was coming. But it's a mystery, huh? There are always thousands of things that you need to take care of now. Oh, well, everybody does that, don't they? Don't they look back and say, "If I'd only…"? I have a very good doctor. She's told me herself I can count on her. That made me feel very good. I've gotten over the scary part. There are times in your life when you know it's going to end, and you just have to make up your mind about it ahead of time. DR G: I stumbled a bit with him at the beginning when he was taking his turn for the worse, not knowing his prognosis…He has pulmonary fibrosis and heart disease, and it's hard to know…not really knowing what to tell him and not knowing if I'm doing this kind of thing too soon…was hard. I think about it in relative terms, where he is now compared to when I met him over 3 years ago. He did OK for the first 2 years that I knew him, and then over the next year and a half he really kind of took a turn…now going downhill…a downward sloping course. His quality of life and ability ...

Well, I have long brown hair, brown/yellow eyes, pale skin, and freckles.
My favourite colors are Blue and Black. I love animals, ice cream, pianos, grave yards, forests, clothes, and books
Sadly, I do not believe in True Love, mainly because there is no one on earth that is right for me.
I love to write, but I am to afraid to let anyone read what I write, because I don't think anyone would like it or want to read it.
I have alot of friends, but none of them are truely friends. They are all pertending to be my friend so they don't hurt me, but they talk about me badly behind my back, I love my parents, but don't trust them enough to tell them how I feel about things.
I wish I was dead alot, other times I am happy that I'm not. I always wonder why I was born, and what I am meant to do in life, but I have no talent to share with the world. I want to do something important in life, but whenever I think I could do something and become someone, I realise that I can't be anything, because I am worth nothing more than an old peice of paper ripped out of a book and forgotten.
I wish someone cared enough about my feelings to actually want to know me. I wish someone would fall in Love with me for me. I wish I had a talent. I wish I could play the piano. I wish I was smart and beautiful. I wish I could make a difference. I wish...
Whats the piont in making Wishes if they won't come True?

New Rochelle Man Sentenced for Stealing $122K from Elderly Chase Bank Customer in Yonkers
NEW ROCHELLE, NY -- Matthew Gunther, 34, of 26 Cliff Street, New Rochelle, New York, was sentenced by Judge Anne Minihan on January 31, 2017 to one and a half to four and a half years in state prison on Grand Larceny in the Second Degree and multiple sentences of one to three years in state prison to run concurrent after being found guilty at a jury trial of one count of Grand Larceny in the Second Degree, a class "C" Felony, three counts of Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second Degree, class "D" Felonies, fifteen counts of Forgery in the Second Degree, class "D" Felonies, one count of Criminal Tax Fraud in the Fourth Degree, a class "E" Felony, and one count of Offering a False Instrument For Filing in the First Degree, a class "E" Felony.
From approximately December 13, 2012 through July 12, 2013, the defendant, a Personal Banker at the Chase Bank Branch located in Getty Square in Yonkers, stole $122,100 from a Chase customer's account.
The victim came into the bank branch to deposit money from a Chase CD which had just matured. He asked that it be placed in a savings account.
The defendant was the one who set up the new account and knew that the victim/customer wasn't expecting to use it on a day to day basis. The victim had another account at another bank he used for his daily living.
Using defendant's own password and user ID he carried out numerous cash withdrawals at the bank counter. Bank documentation, along with video surveillance inside the bank taken at times the defendant was withdrawing the victim's money shows, the victim was not present.
Once the victim set up the savings account, he did not return to the branch until the summer of 2013. He wanted to withdraw a large portion of his money only to learn of the thefts.
The defendant has a restitution judgement of $122,100 along with his prison sentence. In addition, the defendant failed to pay New York State Income Tax on the monies that he stole from the victim. The amount he owes New York State in tax is $9,336.
The defendant was remanded to the custody of the New York State Department of Corrections.
The investigation was conducted in conjunction with New York State Department of Taxation and Finance along with the cooperation of Chase Bank.
Assistant District Attorney Gwen Galef of the Economic Crimes Bureau prosecuted the case.

My name is Mathew Lenning and I'm the cliché struggling entrepreneur trying to find his passion and live a life worth living.
This blog is how a "baller-on-a-budget" does psychotherapy. Basiclly I know there is a whole bunch of emotional junk holding me back and this is my way to get over it.
I've created blogs and tried to do all the "pick a niche" how-to's on all the "successful" entrepreneur blogs, but my heart is never in it. So I've never been able to actually keep it up.
While the concept of niche marketing is logical, to me it just feels unnatural. Of course trying to please everyone really isn't going to please anyone, but picking some random niche just feels fake and dishonest.
So every attempt goes like this.
First I pick some keyword, because Market Samurai says there is a chance I could get on googles first page, then I do some research and set up a WordPress site, Adsense, SEO, newsletter, etc, etc…
Choose my overly generic template which I tell myself, I'll make pretty later on and finally go to write some content "targeting" the niche.
But nothing comes out.
I sit looking at a blank screen thinking what do they want to hear?What could I say to get them to like me? How could I convince them to give me some money or click on my ads, so I can pay rent for another month?
You see the problem is I don't give a shit about the niche. I don't know what kind of person actually searches for "Japanese Masks" and even if I did, they probably wouldn't be my kind of people. I mean the masks are cool and all, but really that's about as far as my interest goes.
So this goes on for a few weeks, before I think to myself, "Matt! What the hell were you thinking?". Then I tear down the site and park the domain in my growing library of random keyword domains.
I know this might sound selfish (because it is), but the only things I really care about are providing for my family and living a life that actually MEANS something. Everything else in my life is in the pursuit of those two aspirations.
All the books I've read on how to be an entrepreneur all talk about understanding your market and knowing why they buy stuff. But honestly I don't know why people buy half the crap they do.
When I go to a department store or shopping mall and I see people lined up to purchase the new shiny gadget or pretty fluffy thing, I just don't get it.
In some of the better content out there, they advise you to look at your own spending habits and ask why you bought what you bought. Know thyself type thinking, but to be honest I don't even know why I buy half the crap I do.
Did I really need the tripod stand which I was going to use to hold the camera I don't have while I make content for the blog I might build someday, if I every find my niche? Probably not.
Would I feel comfortable selling tripods to people like me who don't have a camera, but might use it if they every found their niche? Not really.
My passion is the pursuit of freedom and being a entrepreneur. So writing about this stuff is something I enjoy and can do, but I'm not a guru. Which leads to the next problem.
We all know, the "Entrepreneur" niche is the worst niche to try to get into because until you've actually succeeded at being an entrepreneur, you're not going to get any traction.
So where does that leave me? Yep, up the creek without a paddle as they say. I can't target the entrepreneurial niche, because I'm not a successful entrepreneur, but I can't stand to target some other niche, because I'm not passionate about anything but the entrepreneurial life.
Sometimes I wish that I didn't take the red pill and follow Morpheus down the rabbit hole.
I wish I could be one of the many people in the world that truly believe that life is about working hard to save up enough money to buy the new gadget or pretty fluffy thing.
If I could only believe that living a life of meaning was impossible, then I could live with the million and one excuses for not trying. I could just believe that my situation is unavoidable and that life dealt me rotten cards.
They say ignorance is bliss, but I can't see it on the faces of the "Gainfully employed" as they fight their way through the morning traffic. I know "that life" will never converge with my dreams.
Every job I've ever had sucked. I've tried almost every possible type of employment out there landscaper, construction worker, rehabilitation assistant for the developmentally disabled, teacher, sales clerk, department store clerk, garbage man, farmer, framer, carpenter, maintenance man, mechanic, web designer, etc, etc, etc… Its always the same.
When I'm just starting out and learning the ropes, I really find pleasure in it. Then comes the point where there is nothing more to learn. From that point forward I feel like I'm just wasting time until payday. When payday comes it's never enough and after everyone gets their cut, I'm just as broke as I was before payday.
I used to think it was because I was lazy and had no work ethic or under educated and had no marketable skills.
but truthfully every employer I've ever worked for has been impressed and sad when I put in my two weeks notice.
I still get random emails from some of them asking if I would be interested in coming back. But I went down the rabbit hole, I drank the kool-aid and I can never go back.
Knowing about a life determined by passion and purpose rather than paychecks and price tags, one can never go back. Some people think its a choice, but that is because their eyes are still closed.
Once your eyes are open, you can't close them ever again without living the rest of your life knowing you've abandoned the opportunity to make an impact in the world and live a life of freedom.
However The cost of freedom is high. It's lonely when everyone in your life thinks you're crazy and that if only you'd get your head out of your ass and start being realistic, you'd be alright.
I hate the way my friends and family look at me when they arrange interviews for me and I have to tell them "I'm sorry, but I can't do it."
I feel like I'm disappointing everyone around me, because I just can't sit in my cubical and wait for retirement.
I've read enough entrepreneur blogs to know there is an unwritten law about keeping your blog posts positive, but I just can't put up a smiley face and poop rainbows all the time.
And people really need to know what they are getting into before they take that dam red pill, because like Morpheus says, "After this, there is no turning back."
This is how I've chosen to get through my trials and tribulations as a struggling entrepreneur.
Hopefully it will inspire some of you to get it off your chest too. Pretending to be invincible hasn't served me well, so I just want to be me again.
If you're picking up what I'm putting down then leave a comment and let me know I'm not alone.

8th Initiative (2009 - 2010)
The World Health Organization defines mental health as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community. Employees with good mental health will perform better in their work.
Mental health is important for business. In the 21st century the mental health and well-being of your employees is crucial to the success of your organisation. But, how should you as an employer start to address mental health issues in your workplace? And what activities and policies do you need to set in place?
In a European campaign work. in tune with life. move europe (Folder: PDF 0.1 MB), the European Network for Workplace Health Promotion (ENWHP) started an initiative to help promote mental health in workplaces. The campaign was co-funded by the European Comission under the Public Health Programme 2003 - 2008.
Under the leadership of the BKK Bundesverband (National Contact Office Germany), the 8th ENWHP pan-European initiative aimed to:
The European Thematic Conference "Promotion of Mental Health and Well-being in Workplaces" at the beginning of March 2011 in Berlin concluded the 8th ENWHP initiative "work in tune with life. move europe". The campaign ran from October 2009 to December 2010. About 2000 enterprises participated - public administrations, schools, hospitals, small and larger companies, at both beginner and advanced level - and they actively supported the campaign as a "Move Europe Partner".

The popular Willy Russell comedy "Stags and Hens" will be staged at Carrick-on-Suir's Brewery Lane Theatre for two nights next month.

It features a drunk groom, a bride who is having second thoughts, a handsome ex-boyfriend who is now the lead in a pop band and a group of loud, feisty and superstitious friends.
The production was recently at Raheen House in Clonmel where it received rave reviews from theatre goers.

Tickets cost E15 and are available either at the door on the night or by telephoning (086) 061092. Also, please note that this play is for over fifteen's only. Further information on the production is available on Down The Rabbit Hole Theatre Group's website www.therabbitholetheatregroup.com

This J 40 has had almost everything replaced with updated equipment. It has a Yanmar Diesel engine, Garmin electronics, recent sails, a beautiful interior (complete new cabin sole), and much more. Here's a chance to own a J 40 that is in spectacular condition. A real opportunity!
The J 40 is a fabulous cruising sailboat that sails like a race boat. It's 6'6" keel helps it point better than most boats. This boat is rigged to be sailed by two elderly sailors (but owner still crews on a J80). Many things included because owner is not buying another boat.
The J 40 is probably my absolute favorite cruising sailboat from this time. Fabulous sailing boat, very innovative design for the time, a CLASSIC! .

Table manners are the rules of etiquette used while eating, which may also include the appropriate use of utensils.Different cultures observe different rules for table manners.Each family or group sets its own standards for how strictly these rules are to be enforced.
The host begins after all food is served and everyone is seated.
Food should always be tasted before salt and pepper are added.
Applying condiments or seasoning before the food is tasted is viewed as an insult to the cook, as it shows a lack of faith in the cook's ability to prepare a meal.
In religious households, a family meal may commence with saying Grace, or at dinner parties the guests might begin the meal by offering some favourable comments on the food and thanks to the host.
In a group dining situation it is considered impolite to begin eating before all the group have been served their food and are ready to start.
The fork is held with the left hand and the knife held with the right.
The fork is held generally with the tines down, using the knife to cut food or help guide food on to the fork.
When no knife is being used, the fork can be held with the tines up.
Under no circumstances should the fork be held like a shovel, with all fingers wrapped around the base.
With the tines up, the fork balances on the side of the index finger, held in place with the thumb and index finger.
When eating soup, the spoon is held in the right hand and the bowl tipped away from the diner, scooping the soup in outward movements.

Strong negotiating and influencing skills allow managers to keep their employees satisfied, get the job done, and meet the overall needs and goals of people inside and outside of the organization.
Consulting with Clients
Consulting skills are as important as technological proficiency in today's environment. Consulting with Clients is an intermediate level workshop designed to enable consultants to bring business value to their internal or external clients. Participants will learn how to align solutions to address business priorities and processes and, as a result, achieve increased revenue and customer loyalty. learn more

113: King Cobra
When I first saw this set of diagrams I thought I wanted to try it (common sense did NOT cut in at any stage):
Originally diagrammed for a 1×30+ square, and originally designed to be a massive sculpture with a 2m+ wide hood on a wire-frame armature, finding paper to suit was a challenge. I settled on white wrapping paper (used for "Last Waltz") and cut the longest length possible with a 15cm square as the governing width – I managed 18 squares long, roughly 4/7ths the required length, and accepted that I would just be missing some coils of the body.So, over a 7 day period, doing a little (well, actually quite a lot) each day, I began the task of revealing the snake that was trapped in the long rectangle of paper. Starting with the HEAD (seemed like as good a place as any), keeping the rest of the paper not mangled was an issue on my work desk, so migrated to the dining table.
Having shaped lovely fangs, a prominent forked tongue and beady eyes, I then moved on to the first pleating marathon to form the HOOD – here scale was my enemy – the pleats necessary to stop the hood unraveling were accordion crimps with insane measurements like 2mm each – thank goodness for fingernails and my bone folder. I found I could only do these folds during daylight as overhead lighting on this paper made existing creases very difficult to see. At this stage the paper suffered paper fatigue and I strengthened the tiniest pleats with a little PVA glue – yes, I know this is cheating but I want the model to last, not fray and split.
After the hood was complete, the task of cross-pleating the BODY could begin – this was insane – the diagram said crease in diagonal 1/16ths – given that I had a 15cm width, I thought bugger it and creased in 15ths – so I could use a ruler as there were NO folding landmarks. Once the pre-creasing was complete, then alternate crimps (each 1/4cm) formed the scales – HUNDREDS of them.
The inherent beauty of the model was obvious – the diagonal pleating is architectural and although time consuming, the result is stunningly beautiful and very satisfying. Once scales were in place, right down to the tip of the tail, body SHAPING was next – carefully folding along the body to tuck rough edges under and round the body to make it snake-like. I put this off for a day or so because I was so pleased with the flat pleating and worried about breaking it to make it round. Additionally I added pleats on the inside surface to cause it to curve inwards, although it seemed to want to do that on its own accord.
All that was left was to devise a way of posing and displaying the model – I wanted it to have it's head raised – that was the threat pose the model was designed to showcase – originally I fashioned a wire to make a sort of internal scaffold, but went to a craft shop looking for white plastic tubing to encase the ugly wire and found a "doll stand" in white enamel. $5 later and I have a permanent display for it.
This has taken me ages, and I doubt I will consider such a marathon project again. There was a LOT of repetition, which I suppose makes this model simpler, but at no time did I regret starting it and all the time I was folding I was excited to see what it would turn out like. I will probably keep this model, and with it's nice stand it will probably find a way into our china cabinet (it currently sits atop it).
What have I learned from this model? Accuracy matters, patience is it's own reward, small errors accumulate, near enough is NOT good enough and tea is a good folding accompaniment, beer is not.
If you have managed to continue reading down to here I thank you for staying awake. Polite applause is now appropriate.

[…] I like the body proportions – very horsey – and the weight distribution is also good – very well designed model by Ronald Koh (the same guy who designed the King Cobra) […]
thanks for the images…
this is an amazin model how long did you say it took you to fold, i might give this one a go as the winter in england is bloody cold
i managed to fold just the bust last night it came out looking quite good i used brown parcel paper the only problem is the fangs could be longer im goin to give the whole model a go hopefully i will have it finished for halloween.
[…] I first saw this pattern, I thought "oh no, more cobra pleating" and relegated it to the "not before counselling" […]

Already boasting an incredible day and night of invigorating new music and classic live moments, Live At Leeds has further cemented its position as the defining kick-off for the summer, with a string of new names joining the stellar bill of future stars and revered favourites.
Leading the latest additions are cult Scottish heroes Frightened Rabbit, bringing their emotional and passionate live show to Leeds city centre in what's sure to be a truly defining moment of the festival. Over the course of six studio albums Frightened Rabbit have become one of the nation's most beloved underground favourites, outpouring straight-to-the-bone tales of heartache and loss into some of the most seismic rock of the past decade.
Fresh from the release of last year's Painting Of A Panic Attack, their set at Live At Leeds this year is a must-see chance to witness one of the country's most beloved bands in full flight.Commenting on their appearance at the festival Grant Hutchison of Frightened Rabbit says: "We can't wait to come back to Live At Leeds. It's been a favourite city of ours since we started touring and have great memories of places like The Brudenell and The Faversham so we're really looking forward to it. See you there and probably in the dry dock afterwards for a dance!!"
Tearing down the walls with an emphatic live show of politically-charged garage rock in its purest form VANT have become one of the most talked-about new bands of the year so far. Bursting with vitality, the political calls of frontman Mattie Vant have made him a future icon in waiting, challenging the status quo with hooks brimming with instant pop meaning. Debut album Dumb Blood has already been hailed as a defiant stand for 2017, and their set at Live At Leeds is sure to be a memorable celebration of a band on the rise.Speaking about the announcement VANT commented: "So excited to be returning to Live at Leeds for the second time, one of our favourites. YORKSHIRE! YORKSHIRE!"
Fresh from his first ever headline tour, man of the moment AJ Tracey is one of the ever burgeoning grime scene's brightest hopes. Quickly becoming renowned for having one of the most energetic live shows in the scene and with tunes in his arsenal like the blistering Dave collab Thiago Silva and EP cut Pasta it's no wonder he's looking likely to be the next artist of his ilk to make the jump to mainstream recognition on his own terms.
Soulful crooner Rationale will be delivering the sultry chimes and rhythms of latest EP Vessels as the next soul sensation unveils his goods at the festival, with former Tribes frontman Johnny Lloyd bringing his next exciting chapter to Live At Leeds, set to include his latest collection of stunning tracks that were pulled together with The Maccabees' Hugo White over the past few months. Eclectic duo Seafret will return to the festival with new tracks and beats from their upcoming second studio album, whilst tectonic electronica will bristle through the city streets with the likes of the Disclosure-approved Liv Dawson, tropical genre-blenders Strong Asian Mothers, the sultry pop of Ekkah, trippy disco trio Shy Luv and bubbling electro guru Sivu all destined to bring the grooves to Live At Leeds this year.
Rationale told us: "I'm really excited to play Live at Leeds this year. I've seen some of my favourite acts perform here so it's really awesome to be on the bill this time round".
Wistful guitar-laden pop hitters Childhood are set to return with a bang at Live At Leeds this year whilst South-London's Dead Pretties will be delivering a masterclass in scorching punk with their appearance. Melodic rockers Dead!, Springsteen-inspired Aussie outfit Gang Of Youths and shoulder-shaking weavers Yonaka all come aboard whilst London based Swedes Francobollo, indie princes The Academic, Dutch critical darling Amber Arcades,vibrant hip-hop collective The Age Of Luna and many more also join the lineup for memorable sets across the city. Live At Leeds 2017 is undoubtedly the best place to catch the latest and greatest acts from the UK and beyond.
The festival comes with an expanded array of extra events, with the sold out Live At Leeds: Welcome Party set for Friday 28th April and headlined by Future Islands at the Leeds University Union (SOLD OUT). The weekend will then be rounded out on Sunday 30th April with the Live At Leeds: Finale – headlined by Maximo Park and featuring slots from Little Comets, Spector, High Tyde and The Indigo Project at the O2 Academy Leeds. Tickets for the Finale are on-sale separate from the Live At Leeds festival ticket, completing the weekend with an unparalleled high.
Alternatively, for a limited time only you can purchase a joint Saturday & Sunday access ticket for the discounted price of £42.50.Taking over venues across Leeds City Centre, Live At Leeds is once again set to be the definitive live music experience of the year – celebrating a city and culture that thrives on looking forward and embracing the now.

The Brassicaceae are herbs or rarely subshrubs comprising about 350 genera and 3,000 species. The leaves are alternate or rarely opposite and typically are simple but sometimes have deeply parted segments; stipules are lacking. The flowers are bisexual and almost always actinomorphic. The perianth consists of a calyx of 4 distinct sepals and typically a corolla of 4 distinct petals that are commonly clawed and diagonally disposed. The androecium is tetradynamous, consisting of 4 long inner stamens and 2 short outer stamens. The gynoecium consists of 2 carpels that are generally separated by a persistent false partition called a replum. The superior ovary is usually 2-loculed and bears few to many ovules on parietal placentae. At maturity, the 2 valves of the fruit typically separate, leaving the ovules attached to the persistent replum. Long, narrow fruits of this family are called siliques, short broad ones are called silicles.
Each "thumbnail" image below is linked to a larger photograph.
|Cakile maritima, European sea rocket, 1,2 - Ona Beach, OR, July 2004; 3 - Newport, OR, Nov 2005.
|Capsella bursa-pastoris, shepherds purse. In this family, short broad fruits such as these are called silicles. At maturity the two valves of siliques and silicles separate from the persistent replum or false partition. A few seed stalks or funiculi can still be seen attached to the edge of some of the persistent partitions.
|Cardamine angulata, wood bittercress, Silver Falls, OR, 2002.
|Cardamine nuttallii, spring beauty, OR.
|Iberis umbellata, candytuft. This genus is unusual in the family in having the corolla somewhat zygomorphic, with two petals larger than the other two.
|Lepidium bidentatum, Hawaiian endemic.
|Lobularia maritima, sweet alyssum. Note the typical 4-parted perianth, the androecium of 4 long and 2 short stamens, and the capitate stigma.
|Raphanus sativus, wild radish. The cross-shaped configuration of the flowers in this family resulted in its early designation as the Cruciferae. The style with its small capitate stigma can be seen just above the anthers. Long, narrow fruits of this family such as that seen in this species are called siliques. In the photo on the right the yellow anthers of four long stamens and two short stamens can be seen. This condition of the stamens is described as tetradynamous, and is typical for the family. Also visible here is the typical narrow greenish claw at the base of each petal.
|Stanleya pinnata, prince's plume, White Mts., CA, Jun, 1971.
|Thelypodium howellii ssp. spectabilis, Howell's thelypody, a rare taxon from E OR, July, 2003.

Exhibition commemorates Sinai expeditions
The Monastery of St. Catherine is set in a spectacular natural landscape at the foot of Mount Sinai. (courtesy of Department of Art and Archaeology Research Photograph Collection)
An exhibition titled "The Monastery of St. Catherine at Mount Sinai," is on view through Friday, July 28, in the first floor lounge of the Department of Art and Archaeology in McCormick Hall.
The exhibition of 24 photographs was organized to commemorate Kurt Weitzmann (1904-93) and the Princeton-Michigan expeditions to Mount Sinai. Weitzmann, a professor of art and archaeology at Princeton from 1945 to 1972, and his colleague George Howard Forsyth Jr., a member of Princeton's class of 1923 and a professor at the University of Michigan, organized a series of expeditions between 1956 and 1965 to Egypt, with the aim of studying the Monastery of St. Catherine and its treasures.
The monastery, which dates to 548-65, is thought by some Biblical scholars to be the location of the "burning bush" where Moses first encountered God. The well-preserved church is decorated with some of the finest sixth-century mosaics. Constructed of local stone, the church also incorporates other building materials, such as wood and marble, which were imported from afar with great difficulty.
The exhibition includes a selection of images from Weitzman's collection that provides insights into various aspects of the monastery, its environment, its history, its architecture and its perception by early travelers. Some of the photographs are more than a century old and reveal the conditions within the monastery complex that have changed significantly over time.
The photographs, some of which were taken by Weitzman when he was at the monastery, are preserved in the Research Photograph Collection of the Department of Art and Archaeology. The exhibition was conceived in conjunction with a graduate seminar titled "Juncture of Heaven and Earth: The Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai" taught this spring by Slobodan Curcic, professor of art and archaeology. It was organized and designed by Curcic and Shari Kenfield, curator of the Research Photograph Collection.
Hours for the exhibition are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Undocumented Immigration in the United States: The Facts and Where We Go From Here" is the topic of a panel discussion set for 4:30 p.m. Monday, May 1, in 10 East Pyne.

Water treatment expert to lecture
Marc Edwards, an author of a recent report concerning traces of lead in the drinking water of several metropolitan areas, will speak at 8 p.m. Thursday, May 4, in McCosh 50. His topic will be "Imminent Endangerment: 'Lead' Astray by the EPA."
Edwards is a professor of civil and environmental engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute. An expert in the causes and control of copper and lead corrosion, he has testified before Congress, urging the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to address the impact of water treatment changes on the safety of drinking water. In an August 2005 report, he and other researchers linked traces of lead in Washington, D.C., water to an EPA-mandated switch by local utilities from chlorine to chloramine as a disinfectant.
The event is sponsored by University Public Lectures.

Roth, who has headed Human Rights Watch since 1993, has conducted human rights investigations around the globe, devoting special attention to issues of justice and accountability for abuses of human rights, standards governing military conduct in a time of war, the human rights policies of the United States and the United Nations, and the human rights responsibilities of multinational businesses.
During Roth's tenure, the organization has quadrupled in size, expanding its geographic reach and adding special projects devoted to refugees, children's rights, academic freedom, international justice, AIDS, gay and lesbian rights, and the human rights responsibilities of multinational corporations. Human Rights Watch is now the largest U.S.-based international human rights organization and operates in some 70 countries.
Before joining Human Rights Watch, Roth was a federal prosecutor for the U.S. attorney's office for the southern district of New York and for the Iran-Contra investigation in Washington.
