Wissmann: The car of the future will be automated, connected and electric
Berlin, 16 March 2016
BDS' traffic policy evening: "Changing mobility – opportunities and challenges for the German automotive industry"
"Three trends will have a key role in defining the mobility of tomorrow: urbanization, digitization and electrification. The number of cities with over a million inhabitants is growing, and public space is becoming more scarce. That will demand new traffic and vehicle concepts that deliver efficiency and sustainability," said Matthias Wissmann, President of the German Association of the Automotive Industry (VDA). He was speaking at the traffic-policy evening of the "Bund der Selbstständigen" (BDS, an association of self-employed entrepreneurs) held in Stuttgart today. "The German automotive companies invest more than 30 billion euros per year in research and development, which demonstrates a drive for innovation that is unique worldwide. We are taking automated and connected driving forward and developing ever more efficient engines and alternative powertrains. At the same time we create new business models and forms of mobility."
The VDA president sees digitization as a key solution to the growing challenges of urban mobility. In the future, he explained, automated driving functions would provide even greater levels of comfort and improve road safety. They would also generate savings in fuel consumption and emissions. "Connectivity offers considerable efficiency gains," Wissmann stressed. "Just communication between vehicles and traffic lights can improve the traffic flow so that emissions fall by one third. Or take searching for a parking spot: according to a study by PROGNOS, drivers in Germany spend around 560 million hours every year looking for somewhere to park. Better use of available data on the utilization of parking spaces, coupled with additional sources of data, could reduce this figure by up to 30 percent."
Electric mobility will be equally important for the mobility of the future. Wissmann stated, "Forecasts assume that in about ten years from now, more than 15 percent of all new vehicles around the world will be electrified. The car of the future will be automated, connected and electric. With this combination it will help relieve the pressure on public space. I am therefore appealing for swift realization of the necessary regulatory conditions for connected and automated mobility, and welcome the resumption of discussions on possible incentives to encourage electric mobility."
The VDA president emphasized that even with the efforts to promote alternative powertrains, gasoline and diesel-powered propulsion would remain indispensable as transition technologies for some years to come. Diesel technology was in no way discredited by the software manipulation. "On the contrary: modern Euro 6 diesels score not only in terms of consumption and thus in CO2 emissions," Wissmann said, adding, "With the most advanced exhaust treatment, i.e. Euro 6, they can meet even the strictest pollution limits."
Wissmann also went into detail about the refugee crisis: "Large corporations and SMEs alike – our industry is moved by this topic. Many companies have started their own refugee initiatives, for example by offering internships or language courses and other activities. There are many fine examples and our firms are continuing their efforts in this field." But at the same time it was clear that there were problems with learning the language, along with cultural obstacles.
In view of the 2015 budget surplus of 12.1 billion euros, the VDA president called for more investment. "Most of this money will be used for integrating and accommodating refugees. But other important tasks must not be forgotten, such as investing more again in the infrastructure. We cannot have an either-or situation when it comes to investment. Policymakers need to reconcile both aspects. Only if the German economy continues to boom will the additional revenues flow that we will need to integrate the refugees for many years to come."
The refugee crisis was not a German challenge, but a European one, according to Wissmann. "For this reason one of the most important tasks for politicians is to preserve European cohesion. This year we must do everything we can to ensure that the British decide to stay in Europe. And we have to persuade our neighbors in Central Europe, the new Government in Poland, to stop rocking fundamental European values. Europe must consist of more than just conferences and grand words. Europe needs states that work hand in hand. In 2016 let us in Germany work hand in hand with politics on these important common goals," Wissmann said.

|Chris McGeorge featured in the Frankfurt Daily
Here's the announcement on Bookbrunch, and it's mentioned in The Bookseller too.
This is the full announcement with all the lovely quotes from Chris's foreign editors:
Rights to Chris McGeorge's high concept crime novel, Guess Who? (Orion), have sold in four major deals ahead of Frankfurt.
Guess Who? opens with Morgan Sheppard, a TV presenter who, at aged eleven, solved the murder of his maths teacher. Twenty-five years later he wakes up in a locked hotel room with five strangers and a dead body in the bathroom. Someone in the room is the murderer and Sheppard has three hours to solve it – otherwise they all die.
Rights were won at auction in the US (Harper Collins), pre-empted in Germany (Droemer), and sold in the Czech Republic (Euromedia) and Slovakia (Ikar).
Chris McGeorge said: 'Writing Guess Who? as my thesis for my Masters, I couldn't possibly expect the level of support the book has gotten so far. I wrote the novel to challenge myself and play with the crime genre, so when Francesca with Orion and four editors from publishers in the USA, Germany, the Czech Republic and Slovakia got onboard, I was bowled over. I feel I have been incredibly lucky in finding such a good home for my novel and can't wait to share it with the world.'
Peter Joseph, editor at Hanover Square Press, Harper Collins, who will publish the book in the US said, 'Guess Who? kept me up all night reading and I immediately knew this fun, high-concept novel was a perfect fit for the launch year of Hanover Square Press. I have long been hoping for a modern twist on the classic locked-room mystery and Chris McGeorge has delivered that and so much more.'
Peter Hammans, editor at Droemer who will publish the book in Germany said, 'Locked-room mysteries are a fascinating read when they present a thrilling mixture of claustrophobia, paranoia and personal drama. GUESS WHO? is a perfect representative of its genre. I couldn't stop flipping the pages!'
Danka Jezikova, editor at Ikar a.s. who is publishing the book in Slovakia said, 'After having read Chris McGeorge's GUESS WHO we, at IKAR, were absolutely thrilled by the new fresh voice among thriller authors. From the very beginning it was clear we want to bring this page-turning, tense and absorbing thriller to the readers on our market. We are very excited Chris McGeorge will be one of the prominent authors in our portfolio to stand among such writers as Jo Nesbø, M.J.Arlidge, John Grisham or Stephen King.'
Alexandra Fraisova, editor at Euromedia who is publishing the book in the Czech Republic said, 'We are very proud and happy to be the Czech publishers of Chris McGeorge´s debut novel GUESS WHO. One room, clock ticking…, who can ask for more? This gripping novel gets your attention from the very first pages and it gets only better with every page you turn.'
Guess Who? will be published by Orion Fiction in paperback, audio and ebook in May 2018.

Israel sees Iranian hand in Syria killings
JERUSALEM (AFP) — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday voiced "revulsion" over the bloodshed in Syria, while accusing Iran and its Lebanese militia ally Hezbollah of being accomplices.
He was "revolted was by the incessant massacres conducted by Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces against ... civilians ... which continued over the weekend in the town of Houla," the premier's office said.
"Iran and Hezbollah are an inseparable part of the Syrian atrocities, and the world needs to act against them too," Netanyahu was quoted as saying.
At least 92 people, more than a third of them children, were killed in the central Syrian town of Houla on Friday and Saturday, provoking international outrage.
Earlier this month, Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime was "doomed" and that its ouster would be a "major blow" to Iran and Hezbollah, which is backed by Damascus and Tehran.
More than 13,000 people have been killed since an uprising against Assad erupted in March last year, according to monitors.

Back in the days when I was a spy there were certain things that one just did not dwell upon. Everyone who worked in the field knew that there were episodes that it would be best not to recall, either because they were embarrassing, possibly unsavory, or even, more rarely, wildly successful though at a price that one would not be willing to pay a second time around. With that kind of baggage, the expectation was that a retired officer would be best advised to live quietly on a couple acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains and take up landscape painting or breeding Labradors and not think about or try to explain the past.
But that was then, and today the new breed of intelligence officers apparently prefers to flaunt the naughty things that it has been up to. I am somewhat ashamed to admit that I have read the latest exculpatory effort by a gaggle of retired senior CIA officers seeking to justify torturing people.

I.M. Sports East – phase one - gym and track renovations (Healthy Campus Initiative)
Project phase: Archived
Project background
- Health and wellness is a priority of the MSU campus community, as reflected in the Bolder by Design Framework and the Health Campus Initiative.
- Consistent with that priority, the University invests in and supports a wide range of recreation and fitness activities, programs, and facilities that are accessible to students, faculty, and staff.
- The level of demand, an aging infrastructure for the three primary intramural facilities, and an emphasis on creating and supporting a culture of health and wellness resulted in the need to undertake a strategic planning effort.
- Over the past two years, efforts have been made to develop a broad-based approach to enhancing recreation and fitness opportunities.
- The Provost initially established an exploratory committee with representation from students, faculty, staff, and external advisors to guide and inform planning. Following this exploratory committee planning, consultants were engaged to assist with the development of a health and wellness framework plan to guide reinvestment that supports the Healthy Campus Initiative.
- Projects that include reinvestment in existing intramural facilities, including fields, and Demonstration Hall were identified as priority improvements.
- These improvements will replace systems and finishes that are beyond their useful life, provide additional capacity, and improve the user experience.
Project scope
- Removal of the interior running track wall and installation of a handrail system to open the track area to the gymnasium below
- Replacement of the existing track running surface
- Installation of window film on the exterior windows around the running track
- Replacement of the block wall separating the two gymnasiums with a motorized roll-up curtain divider wall
- Installation of new LED lighting, including emergency lighting
- Painting
- Construction start: May 2018
- Ready for occupancy: August 2018
- $2,150,000, including a $215,000 contingency
- The project will be funded by the general fund - healthy campus initiative or debt financing with debt repayment from the general fund - healthy campus initiative.
Questions, concerns or comments?

Pando is an eighteen minute spoken word piece by Katovski. As a lover of nature and especially trees he embarked on a journey that not only took him back in time, but also forward to his future. It was as if the tree that he calls his brother was calling to him. Katovski answered the call through spiritual, physical and metaphysical streams of consciousness and wrote a poetic tale of the journey.
Katovski has performed Pando at the Gonzo Fest in Louisville, Kentucky as well as the Fringe Fest in Nashville, Tennessee. When performing Pando, you will most likely find him with his face painted as a tree of life as he becomes Pando for the audience.
listen the the wind blow the aspen quake the aspen shake weathering the test of time and environment bearing witness to to the birth of humanity my name is Pando historian of Umai I have grown to one hundred seven acres in size with over forty seven thousand children in the eighty thousand plus years since out mother first gave me life
for those who seek and find me there is a world of knowledge to gain through open heart and mind step humbly into my grove asking what you will in service of Umai I am Pando
"Pando (Latin for "I spread"), also known as The Trembling Giant, is a clonal colony of a single male quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) determined to be a single living organism by identical genetic markers[3] and assumed to have one massive underground root system. The plant is estimated to weigh collectively 6,000,000 kg (6,600 short tons),[4] making it the heaviest known organism.[5][6] The root system of Pando, at an estimated 80,000 years old, is among the oldest known living organisms."

The next act for TV's newest "it" girl, Gina Rodriguez, could be a rap album.
Primary Wave boss Larry Mestel is looking to smooth the path from acting to singing and vice versa for the "Jane the Virgin" star and other multitalented artists.
The New York City-based music publishing, talent management and marketing company, which counts CeeLo Green as chief creative officer, is building a major West Coast presence in the film and TV businesses.
In the latest deal, Primary Wave is merging its talent-management division with LA-based Intellectual Artists Management, which boasts Golden Globe winner Rodriguez and "Glee" actress Jane Lynch among its clients.
"It's a natural expansion because recorded-music stars also want to be in film and TV. Rather than going outside, we're doing it ourselves and wanted to team up with film and TV managers," Mestel told The Post.
Hollywood stars also want to make the jump to music, including Rodriguez who raps and writes her own music and was working on an album before she landed her TV role.
Mestel will become co-CEO of the venture, called Primary Wave Entertainment, alongside Intellectual Artists Management founder David Guillod.
"The merger of Larry's team and my team will perfectly position us to become a global entertainment, media, branding and licensing powerhouse," Guillod said in a statement.
After the deal, Primary Wave Entertainment will house around 75 staff and have offices on both coasts.
The expansion comes just a few months after Primary Wave acquired another LA-based talent shop, Evolution Entertainment.
The November deal with Mark Burg's Evolution brought in talent such as Mayim Bialik, who stars on CBS hit "The Big Bang Theory." Burg, who also helped produce the "Saw" horror franchise and is an executive producer on "Two and a Half Men," will become vice chairman of Primary Wave.
Primary Wave is best known as one of the largest independent music publishers, with a song catalog of hits by the Beatles and late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain.
Bertelsmann's BMG Rights took control of the bulk of those publishing assets through a $150 million deal in 2013, although Primary Wave held on to about 5,000 copyrights outside of that venture and continues to acquire music publishing rights.
Mestel will be rubbing shoulders with celebs and film honchos this week at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, as one of the executive producers of "Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck."
Talent managers differ from agents in that they look after stars' entire roster of business interests and are expected to help craft long-range career plans.
Primary Wave Entertainment works with a host of brands — W Hollywood, Monster Energy and Celebrity Cruises among others — in attempting to marry their interests with stars.

The final vote tally that will determine whether Harvard's graduate and undergraduate teaching and research assistants unionize may be delayed further if the number of challenge ballots requiring review remains larger than the margin necessary to decide the vote's outcome.
Harvard officials and graduate student organizers will meet again on Dec. 19 at the National Labor Relations Board's Boston office to continue sifting through challenge ballots from November's vote. According to a Dec. 8 email signed by Harvard's Director of the Office of Labor and Employee Relations Paul R. Curran and sent to eligible student voters, the parties will finish working through challenge ballots that day.
The final vote count itself could also begin Dec. 19 if there is enough time following the completion of the challenge ballots' review. NLRB deputy regional attorney Robert P. Redbord said officials prefer to begin and end a count on the same day for logistical reasons. Therefore, ballot boxes have remained sealed.
If there is not enough time to go through all the challenge ballots on Dec. 19, the final count will begin Dec. 22, according to Curran's email.
However, the upcoming vote count might not decide whether the Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Auto Workers becomes a union representing approximately 3,500 eligible graduate and undergraduate teaching staff, because some ballots might remain under challenge after the vote count, according to Curran's email.
"If the election is decided by a margin smaller than the number of ballots still under challenge, the NLRB will set a date for a hearing to determine whether these remaining ballots should be counted," Curran wrote.
The sheer number of challenges—an estimated 1,000—has delayed the vote count thus far. Some ballots were challenged merely due to a student voting at an unassigned location, while others were set aside for more complex reasons, such as Ph.D. students who voted while not being currently on the payroll but who have been employed by the University for at least one semester in the past year.
Harvard and union organizers stipulated in the election agreement that these students could vote under challenge because the language of the August NLRB decision did not specify their eligibility.
"Our position has always been that doctoral students who have worked in the past and have an expectation to work again should be eligible," HGSU-UAW organizer and Ph.D. student Sam S. Klug said. "We're really just doing research to make sure that we have the information that we need regarding people's working status basically to make sure that the process follows the election agreement and is fair."
The parties have been working through challenge ballots one-by-one to determine which ones should be counted. Eligible graduate and undergraduate students cast votes on whether or not to form a union on Nov. 16 and 17.
Curran also made clear that the University does not want to delay the count process.
"While we know that many students will be away for winter break at this time, the University agrees with the NLRB that the vote count should proceed without delay once the challenges have been addressed," Curran wrote.

By Rabbi Yissocher Frand
Avraham Avinu came to the Children of Ches and asked for a burial plot to bury his dead wife. They guaranteed that he would not have a problem finding a burial plot, saying, "You are a prince of G-d in our midst; in the choicest of our burial places bury your dead, not one of us will withhold his burial place from you, from burying your dead." [Bereshis: 23:6] Avraham then asked for a specific person and a specific plot — the Double Cave (Me'aras Hamachpelah) that belonged to Efron ben Zochar.
The Chofetz Chaim points out that this Biblical narration illustrates one of the great truths of life: nothing ever happens by committee. Whenever something is a communal responsibility or "in committee" such that everyone is responsible for accomplishing something, it is never completed. Each person in the community feels that the other person will wind up doing it.
When the offer was in the form of "no man in our midst will refuse you the right to bury your dead in his piece of land", Avraham was not satisfied. Everyone was thinking "He," not "Me." Avraham insisted on dealing with a specific person over a specific piece of land.
Unfortunately, this is very true of communal life in general. Often, the only way to accomplish anything is to do it yourself. The guarantee of "no man from our group will refuse you" did not satisfy Avraham: "I have to know specifically who the 'We' is and who is going to make this transaction, because that is the only way anything is ever accomplished."
Insights From Avraham's Funeral
The Torah says that Avraham was buried by his two sons — Yitzchak and Yishmael [25:9]. Rashi, based on the Gemara [Bava Basra 16b], says that we see from the sequence of names in this verse that Yishmael repented from his evil ways that previously caused Avraham to banish him from his house. Yishmael had returned to the house, yet he deferred to Yitzchak and gave him the primary role in the burial of Avraham.
Rav Schwab asked why the Gemarah had to wait until this pasuk, in Chayei Sarah, to prove that Yishmael repented. There is an earlier proof that Yishamael had been taken back into the household of Avraham. On the way to the Akeidah, Avraham took Yitzchak and his two lads. Our Sages say that the two lads were Eliezer and Yishamael. So many years prior to Avraham's death, we already saw that Yishmael and his father were reconciled, after the former had presumably repented.
Rav Schwab suggested that the second proof is a better proof of Yishmael's repentance. It is possible that as long as Avraham Avinu was alive, Yishmael was on "good behavior," but his external actions did not reflect his true feelings. Now that Avraham was dead and Yishmael still deferred to Yitzchak, we know that he had sincerely repented.
Rav Simcha Zissel Brody (the Rosh HaYeshiva of the Chevron Yeshiva) has a different approach. He says that our pasuk in Chayei Sarah is the only definite proof that Yishmael repented. The original action of Yishmael which frightened Sarah and prompted her to urge Yishamael's banishment was the fact that Yishmael was mocking Yitzchak [Bereshis 21:9] "as a slave mocking his master." Sarah saw terrible character traits, terrible impudence on Yishamael's part. Despite the fact that _he_ was the son of the concubine and had an inferior status in the household, he treated his brother Yitzchak as if Yitzchak had the inferior status. It was the lack of his Derech Eretz [proper respect and behavior], as much as any particular action on his part, which convinced Sarah that he could not remain together with Yitzchak in one household.
Consequently, Rav Simcha Zissel says, the only acceptable proof that Yishmael repented of his former ways is an incident that demonstrated Yishmael showing proper Derech Eretz towards Yitzchak. That proof is in our pasuk, where Yishmael let Yitzchak walk ahead of him in Avraham's funeral procession, despite the fact that Yishamael was older. Therefore, our Sages can say unequivocally, that we see from the sequence of names in our pasuk that Yishmael did Teshuvah [repented from his evil ways].

Leading online property platform, DirectHome (PATENT PENDING: 10201803142V), announces the launch of an ICO of its token, DIREC which integrates blockchain technology with real estate transactions.
SINGAPORE, April 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DirectHome is a leading service provider in the real estate sector, offering users on its online platform the opportunity to buy, sell and rent properties without the need for a real estate agent, consequently helping to significantly reduce transaction costs. The platform is the World's 1st Platform to offer cashbacks and reward contributors via Tokenomics, powered by blockchain. DirectHome has taken a giant step in the sector with the launch of the initial coin offering for its token - DIREC token.
According to DirectHome whitepaper, DirectHome's global business is a decentralised, crowd-sourced and transactional platform designed to provide the complete real estate database globally, while facilitating property transactions between all existing stakeholders including home owners, seekers, agents, and developers in an efficient ecosystem via the ERC20 blockchain with smart contract implementation within the tokenomics infrastructure.
Unlike most ICOs which are only based on selling untested Ideas and beautiful roadmaps, DirectHome already has its own proven platform that has transacted more than $350 million in property value. That means, when the DirectHome platform is being converted to blockchain, users will be adopting the tokens developed by DirectHome. This would then naturally give rise to the demand of the token.
The DirectHome corporate team and advisors includes Former MD of Bank Of New York Mellon, CEO of Fortune 500 company and International Real Estate Developer.
The DirectHome global team will be sharing this historical revolution on 5 May 2018 at the Singapore National Museum. DirectHome event registration is now open.
For more information, chat with them on DirectHome telegram.

Replenish your skin's moisture content with Hyaluronic Acid Serum from Good Molecules. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, this water-light serum draws moisture to the skin for long-lasting hydration. With just one use, skin appears smooth, supple, and well-hydrated.
Apply a few drops in the morning and at night before oils, creams, and moisturizers. For best results, apply to damp skin. Let absorb for 30 seconds before continuing with your routine. Suitable for daily use.
I am obsessed. I never used this kind of serum before but I heard great things so I thought I would give this brand a try. So I put it on once I got out the shower and before I started my skin care routine. I woke up the next morning with the softest, plumped skin ever and this is only the first time I have tried it. I know it seems too good to be true but l would try it for yourself so you can see exactly what I am talking about. I recommend. And btw I have dry skin so it was amazing to wake up to hydrated skin.
Ok, the fact that Beautylish created this brand made me buy this!!! I normally don't buy serums but my skin has been on the dry side with the ever changing weather. I have used it for two days now and my skin is GLOWING and radiant somehow. I feel like it really hydrates and works great as a base layer under moisturizer. I don't know what kind of magic they used to keep my face glowing all day (without a pound of highlighter reapplied incessantly) but for six bucks it's a steal!
A hyaluronic acid is a must in any skincare regime to ensure hydrated beautiful skin! I have tried several different types of hyaluronic acid serums but always had the issue that the would make my skin sticky. This meant that I couldn't use the hyaluronic acid serum in the daytime under my makeup.
But this is different, the consistency is very water like and absorbs into the skin almost instantly, not leaving behind I sticky surface that interrupts one's makeup! After getting Good Molecules Hyaluronic Acid serum I now use it as my day time serum, with great results!
On days where I feel like a breakout is on its way or after a day of heavy makeup I will mix a few drops of Good Molecules Niacinamide serum and I feel like this keeps my skin feeling and looking great during that daytime!
This is a great product. I use this in conjunction with the niacinamide serum. It has worked wonders on my oily skin.
I always like having a hyaluronic acid essence or serum in my routine as a nice hydrator step because I have combo yet dehydrated skin. This serum sinks in nicely without leaving a tacky feel. It doesn't break me out or create CCs. This is now my favorite hyaluronic acid serum and will definitely be repurchasing it again!
Hyaluronic Acid is a must have in everybody's skincare collection, and I was honestly surprised at just how effective this formula is. I use this morning and evening while my skin is slightly damp with toner and right before applying the rest of my products. Hyaluronic acid is not a moisturizer, it's a humectant which means it draws moisture into the skin, so use it when your skin is damp for best results! This particular formula is light and easily absorbed and does not leave my skin feeling sticky or tight. I'm very happy with this addition to my routine!
I love this serum! It is very hydrating and doesn't have a strong scent, it leaves my super dry skin feeling soft and happy again. Worth every penny, I will never go back to my old brand again.
This is the first time I've purchased Good Molecules -- I usually buy The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid, but it was sold out. So I am trying Good Molecules. Very similar to The Ordinary, so far so good.
I have been using this for over a month now and I just think it's such a great hydrating and plumping serum! I put this on and then do the rest of my skincare and my skin just seems to have come to life. It just looks so good ever since I started using this, along with the Ultra Hydration Oil from Good Molecules as well.
I have mature skin and this leaves my skin so soft and baby smooth. The price is a steal and I think it works extremely well.
I use this every day as part of my morning routine. I have not found much difference on my face but the dark spots on my hands are starting to fade. Your hands show your age so I like what it does.

With Halloween coming up, the scariest thing I can think of is making it out of the grocery and avoiding all the chocolate and treats calling my name (it is Candy after all!). How do I resist? I begin dreaming about one of my favorite chocolate fixes that won't be mean to my insides like these high sugar and fat evil temptations.
Bissinger's Spa Chocolate knocks the socks off of your typical trick or treater type fare. It's total sensory overload. As you lift that foiled lid off the assortment, woodsy cocoa aromas drift around you – saying consume consume!
The feel of the chocolate is silkier than my pussycat's coat – and that's darn silky! It's so soft I'm afraid it will evaporate before I can even pop it into my mouth. I think the only word that could adequately describe how decadent this stuff tastes is "Scrumpdillyumptious!" Thanks Mr. Wonka!
In addition to chocolate, another one of their popular spa treats is Green Tea Gummy Pandas, almost too cute to "bear"! Sorry, couldn't resist.
Even better, Bissinger's confections will not compromise your health goals. Here is what their site says:
"Shed your guilt. Chocolate can have a place in your healthy lifestyle. Research studies show that some of the ingredients in our confections have potential health benefits for cardiovascular health, lowered risk of certain types of cancer and a slowing of the aging process. Nothing's more gratifying.
Treat yourself. Treat yourself well.
Spa Chocolate should be consumed as part of a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables."
I especially like the eat your veggies bit – like we'd just live off their candies – well, they are low in calories, carbs and have iron, maybe. . . . no I love my broccoli and spinach too much! Visit Bissinger's to buy.
See you at the Spa and Happy Halloween, Candy

In open hole operations, the wellbore surface can be irregular and unpredictable. This can present significant challenges to the deployment of wireline tools, particularly as deviation increases.
Momentum is lost every time the leading end of the toolstring encounters wellbore irregularities such as ledges or washouts, or debris lying in the low side of the well.
The key to effective openhole conveyance lies in mitigating these challenges at the leading end of the toolstring.
Lifting the leading end of the toolstring off the low side of the wellbore mitigates momentum loss and possible damage from impacts as it is run in hole. Lifting the lower end of the toolstring also prevents or reduces the "snow ploughing" effect when there is debris or sand accumulation in the well.
Where wellbore enlargement is severe, it may be impossible to prevent the toolstring from entering washout zones. In this case, it is essential that the bottom end is equipped with the means of both protecting the toolstring and returning the toolstring effectively to the main wellbore.

CUNA is reminding credit unions of the May 15 deadline for becoming a party to a class action suit against Home Depot. The suit will seek recovery and injunctive relief associated with a massive data breach at the giant retail outlet in September 2014.
CUNA announced last Wednesday that it will join credit unions and other financial institutions nationwide as a plaintiff in that lawsuit. However, CUNA emphasizes its participation should not discourage any credit union or state credit union league from participating as well, as credit union participation remains vitally important.
"CUNA is pursuing every possible avenue to get merchants to raise their data security standards to protect consumers and card-issuing credit unions. We decided participation in this legal action is another route we can take to support our efforts," according to Susan Parisi, CUNA chief counsel.
CUNA Chief Advocacy Officer Ryan Donovan added, "If the court grants injunctive relief to the plaintiffs, Home Depot will likely be forced to improve its data security standards.
The Atlanta-based, big-box retailer admitted that 56 million credit and debit cards were compromised after cybercriminals infiltrated its payment systems, costing credit unions alone nearly $60 million, according to data compiled by CUNA.

Natural Philosophy Alliance
The Natural Philosophy Alliance (NPA) is devoted mainly to broad-ranging, fully open-minded criticism, at the most fundamental levels , of the often irrational and unrealistic doctrines of modern physics and cosmology; and to the ultimate replacement of these doctrines by much sounder ideas developed with full respect for evidence, logic, and objectivity. Such reforms have long been urgently needed; and yet there is no area of scholarship more stubbornly censorial, and more reluctant to reform itself.
Reigning paradigms in physics and cosmology have for many decades been protected from open challenge by extreme intolerance, excluding debate about the most crucial problems from major journals and meetings.
But the founding of the NPA in 1994 provided those struggling against this irrationality and intolerance with the strength, visibility, and credibility that comes from numbers and from collaborative, purposeful effort. It has also enabled them to share, expand, and refine their individual knowledge through contact with many other critical scholars, at NPA general meetings–held at least once per year since 1994–first by phone, mail, then email and now by the internet, video conferences and once-a-year traditional conferences.

So the new AFL season is upon us, and it's time to join in and do some predictions.
It sounds tough, but it's amazing how often you end up with a very similar overall score to your week-to-week footy tipping – a sure sign you can get too bogged down in week-to-week form throughout the season. Obviously you underestimate some teams, but it works both ways as you overrate others.
Anyway, one thing submitting all of our AFL tips at once does tell you is exactly how many wins you think each club will have, and therefore your predicted ladder. It really clarifies and quantifies all your thoughts about each team.
After I'd totalled everything up the first thing I found is that in my predictions, clubs fit pretty neatly into four bands: I have three clubs clearly at the top, positions 4–9 are reasonably close, then 10–14, and finally a bottom four which is a bit of a way off the rest of league.
My bottom four was North Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast and Collingwood. I suspect the first three names there won't surprise many – it's just where they're at – though others may not be as down on Collingwood this year. But they're a club who've been on a downward trajectory for few years now, and I don't think that trend's going to reverse yet.
I think their list has major structural issues (chiefly, a lack of key position players) and they don't seem to have addressed that at all through trades or free agency. They've got a solid midfield with some real grunt inside, but aside from that, their list looks it needs some major renovations.
Of the other three, I think Gold Coast are the one I'm most likely to get wrong. They clearly still have a stack of talent, and with a fresh, young coach, could surprise a few teams.
Anyway… to my top 8 for this year:
#8 Geelong
I have the Cats going backwards this year – though only by a couple of wins. It's just the extremely even nature of the ladder that sees them fall so many spots. I don't know that they're necessarily going to be 'worse', I just think there's a quite a few other teams who have more scope to improve and go past them.
Ablett is the obvious big addition, though he's no spring chicken and his output will depend a lot on avoiding injury. I don't think the midfield was their area of need anyway… but it goes without saying, if he plays plenty of football he still has a big influence.
#7 Sydney
Nothing ever really seems to change at Sydney. They pump out consistent season after consistent season, and I see 2018 being much the same. There's been no major list changes and they retain that superb midfield and extremely potent forward line. Business as usual.
#6 West Coast
Like Sydney, I have West Coast basically holding firm. They haven't lost much and have great key position talent at either end, which is extremely important.
The X-factor is Nic Nat… after not playing at all in 2017, the former All-Australian ruckman could be an enormous should he recover quickly from the knee injury. The new stadium will be interesting and has the potential to be an even tougher place to visit than Subiaco was, with 60,000 feral (sorry, 'passionate') Eagles going nuts.
#5 Melbourne
A couple of improvers now, starting with Melbourne. They showed a fair bit last year, and another year under their belts should help add some sorely-needed consistency.
Missing finals on percentage after that pathetic capitulation in the last round surely must burn them into some sort of action. The coach kicked off the pre-season by showing some fairly un-Melbourne-like ruthlessness regarding the Jack Watts situation, so perhaps the Dees are finally ready to make some sort of statement. Jake Lever is a great addition too.
#4 Essendon
All things considered, I think 2017 was a fairly successful season for Essendon. They had the core of their team to re-integrate after missing all of 2016, which can't have been a simple task for John Worsfold after he'd spent his first year at the helm without them.
They won 12 games and had three really stupid losses against Carlton, Brisbane (where they were 6 goals up and then just switched off), and Sydney (which they somehow conspired to lose despite leading by two kicks with a minute left). Arrest those lapses in concentration, get three more wins and they would've been top 4… I think they'll get there this year. Daniher is ready to go to the next level and they recruited well.
#3 Adelaide
As I said, I had the top three clearly above the rest, and Adelaide are again among them. They finished on top last year with 15 wins and I don't think they'll be far off that sort of result again.
Lever is a loss, but losing a key player is basically an annual event at the Crows (think Bock, Davis, Tippett, Gunston, Dangerfield), and they always seem to just kick on. Gibbs is nice mature addition to go with their extremely underrated midfield.
#2 Greater Western Sydney
By design the Giants have an incredibly talented list, and after two straight preliminary final appearances I expect them to be well inside the top 4 again.
They're stacked with quality and depth right across the ground, though they have lost some important leaders in Stevie J and Mumford. How well some of the younger players step into that void may well dictate their season. I think they're ready.
#1 Richmond
I have the reigning premiers ruling again – for the home and away season anyway! They out-pressured a lot of teams last year, so it'll be interesting how they respond to being the hunted as reigning champs.
I think they'll handle it fine: Martin, Cotchin and Rance are out-and-out superstars and Riewoldt leads an extremely even forward line full of contributors. Hardwick is a thoroughly underrated coach who more than deserves a flag next to his name for what he produced with this team last year. For mine, there'll be more good times at Tigerland in 2018.

Welcome to the FT Business school newsletter, a weekly serving of management wisdom, reading recommendations and business-related challenges. FT subscribers can sign up here to receive the newsletter by email every Monday. If you have feedback about FT Business school, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
How to Lead
David Green, the director of the UK's Serious Fraud Office, the agency that investigates complex fraud and bribery — features in our weekly series How to Lead. He talks about how he revived a demoralised team.
Andrew Hill's challenge
The FT's management editor sets a weekly test of your business, strategy and management skills.
Easily the best-read article on FT.com last week was our in-depth analysis of the "dawn of the superstar lawyer", about how defections from traditional law firms are threatening partnership cultures. I've taken that analysis a counter-intuitive step further in my column this week by comparing the challenges law firms and consultancy partnerships face to the strain of keeping a rock band together. My main example is Fleetwood Mac, which shocked its fans this week by announcing that guitarist Lindsey Buckingham would not take part in its next tour.
Partnership cultures are valuable but also delicate. They require deft leadership. For my challenge this week, I'd like to hear your one-line mission statements that would encourage the critical sense of belonging and collaboration that glues partnerships together. (Extra marks if you can manage to weave in the lyrics from a well-known song.) Send your contributions, as usual, to email@example.com.
Last week I asked for you to supply some opening remarks for Mark Zuckerberg at his congressional hearings, or some questions that lawmakers should put to him. You can now read what the Facebook co-founder actually said and what he was asked in two day's of hearings before senators and congressmen and women. Mr Zuckerberg went big on apologies, which I think was the right thing to do, but from your many suggestions, I admired the chutzpah of Viktor Tingstrom's unrepentant approach:
"Facebook has revolutionised the internet and social media in a short amount of time. We take our responsibilities toward our users seriously. However, in a changing corporate world we need politicians and regulations to keep up. Innovation shouldn't just be found within the tech industry, it should also be found within politics."
As for challenges, Paul Flather went to the heart of the matter with these questions:
"1) Was it profit that led you to delay so long to respond to the charges of selling and sharing user data directly and/or indirectly?
2) How does Facebook plan to make it up to those whose data information has been exposed without any prior consent or knowledge?
3) How do you think large and powerful corporations can be better encouraged to play fair inside the democracies and states where they sit and benefit from the rule of law and public investment?"
For further reading this week, I recommend an in-depth look at the value — and dangers of — too much or too little feedback by Sergey Gorbatov and Angela Lane in the MIT Sloan Management Review. I've written before about the trend towards changing, or even dropping, performance appraisals. That trend can go too far, the authors argue: "A lack of honest, focused, and timely performance feedback is a major constraint to organisational performance. Unfortunately, we see too many examples of [human resources] ignoring the difficult facts in favor of simplistic, flavour-of-the-month solutions that will only make matters worse".
Professor's picks
Every week a business school professor or academic recommends useful FT articles.
Laurent Maruani, scientific director of executive masters programmes at HEC Paris Executive Education selects:
Cambridge Analytica video revelations add pressure on data firm The Cambridge Analytica (CA) story raises the question of culpability between humans and artificial intelligence. In determining responsibility, two reasonable conclusions are presented, in my opinion.First, only relevant people working at CA could ever be found guilty, not the Facebook-type data systems used.
Second, staff such as lawyers and business people must do what they can in order to limit AI-based damage to individuals and society. Digital systems cannot be found guilty of their actions. In an FT story about an accident where a pedestrian was killed by a driverless vehicle, it reads: 'regulators need to re-examine the ethics of allowing technology still in development to be tested in the public sphere.'
Jonathan Moules's business school news
Big data is currently a big opportunity. JP Morgan, for instance, is currently advertising over 1,000 jobs for roles with the word 'digital' in the job title.
Business schools are also capitalising on the trend, which prompted me to look into the courses being offered and the motivations of their students.
EMLyon Business School, for instance, has developed several new programmes and pedagogical processes for big data tuition with IBM. This follows similar moves by HEC Paris, Iéseg School of Management and New York University's Stern School of Business.
This shows that business schools can act when they sniff an opportunity. However, the world of work is changing fast, so there is a need to do this much more often and in different ways, not just in subject areas, but the way lessons are taught, courses are structured and relationships are maintained with students and companies.
With many schools starting term this week for the final push before the summer, maybe now is a time to reflect on what one big thing business schools could do to improve their relevance in a fast changing world of work. Send me your thoughts to email@example.com and I will include the best suggestions in the next newsletter.
