Last Friday we went to Riyadh equestrian club (sounds so posh) to watch the horse racing. I've never been to a racetrack before so it was quite exciting. It was nice to see something aesthetically pleasing in this city.
|The track complete with fountain
Betting is, naturally, illegal in the KSA so we had to have a little bet of our own on our table. The lucky winner was to become the proud owner of the carrot of glory, the horserace guidebook and about 4 riyals (less than a pound). Exciting times!
|I was like- who's that weird guy? (it's the king)
We soon realised that gambling would be a bit pointless anyway, even if it wasn't haram (forbidden). The winner of the first race we watched was a horse called Hattrick. We looked in the guidebook to see who it was owned by. Can you guess? Yes, it was in fact one of the Kings horses. A lucky coincidence? We paid close attention to the next few races and sure enough, the Kings horses won all of them. Takes the edge of the excitement somewhat, and also renders betting pointless. Evens anyone?
I was reminded very much of one of my favourite Disney films, in which everyone has to make absolutely sure that a certain Queen wins the game of croquet, for fear of losing their heads. Could a similar situation be going on here? The King winning all the races. Check. People getting their heads chopped off. Check.
All in all it was a really great day out. Nice company, a change of scenery from the four walls of our prison, and some lovely food. I think if you search hard enough, there are some things here that aren't entirely hateful :)

Answer to Question #25909 in Macroeconomics for Jimmy Vo
Question #25909
If all consumers have the opportunity to pay the same price, is it price discrimination?
Expert's answer
Price discrimination or price differentiation exists when sales of identical goods or services are transacted at different prices from the same provider. In a theoretical market with perfect information, perfect substitutes, and no transaction costs or prohibition on secondary exchange (or re-selling) to prevent arbitrage, price discrimination can only be a feature of monopolistic and oligopolistic markets, where market power can be exercised. Otherwise, the moment the seller tries to sell the same good at different prices, the buyer at the lower price can arbitrage by selling to the consumer buying at the higher price but with a tiny discount. However, product heterogeneity, market frictions or high fixed costs (which make marginal-cost pricing unsustainable in the long run) can allow for some degree of differential pricing to different consumers, even in fully competitive retail or industrial markets. The effects of price discrimination on social efficiency are unclear. Output can be expanded when price discrimination is very efficient. Even if output remains constant, price discrimination can reduce efficiency by misallocating output among consumers. Price discrimination requires market segmentation and some means to discourage discount customers from becoming resellers and, by extension, competitors. This usually entails using one or more means of preventing any resale: keeping the different price groups separate, making price comparisons difficult, or restricting pricing information.
So, if all consumers have the opportunity to pay the same price, it is not price discrimination, as they don't required to pay the different prices.

Baz's Blog: Australia's Greatest Boats - live!
Day one of the extravaganza is signed off
Well, folks, we've just dropped the curtain on day one of the Australia's Greatest Boats Awards, staged at Pittwater in Sydney. I can tell you right off the bat that picking one winner from five terrific fiberglass fishing boats is definitely not easy. Matter of fact, after flogging these boats to within an inch of their waterlines all day, the boys need 10 minutes off.
But they won't be getting it. It's five down and five to go.
It's been a massive project, with five judges, hot and cold running assistants, a helicopter, video crews, photographers, you name it…
Tomorrow, stage two of Australia's Greatest Boats kicks off, at a similarly ungodly hour, with what we reckon are the five best aluminium fishing boats you can buy.
And no we can't tell you the results, yet. They'll be announced over two issues, starting with number 261, out on August 25.
In the meantime, have a look at our quick video of today's events via our YouTube site

First Day in Braces
of ArchWired readers
Spring from Tennessee
My reason for getting braces
as an adults sounds like so many others: my parents didn't
have the money when I was growing up. It was always
something that bothered me so I decided I would do it when I
got older. I just turned 29 and I'm in day three of having
braces put on the top row of my teeth.
I started the process about 4 ½
months ago. I have a cross bite and crowding so my dentist told
me I would have to wear a pallet stretcher to move my upper
teeth out before he would put the braces on. Let me tell you, I
hated wearing that thing! It made me talk like Cindy Brady!
Luckily, he gave me one I could pop in and out so I could eat.
Originally, he told me he thought I would only have to wear it
for four weeks – ten weeks later I was still wearing it. He was
going to have me wear it longer but when he saw the look on my
face after he said it, he decided to go ahead and put the braces
They only did my top row
because he said if he did both rows, to start, they would "chase
each other." I'm still not sure what that means. He'll put the
bottom ones on in about 12 weeks. I was in my car going back to
work after having them put on and I was a little concerned they
weren't doing anything because I thought I would feel tightness
right away. I thought they had to "tighten" the wire to make it
work. Until I found this website, I didn't understand how the
wires worked. About 5 hours after having them on, I started to
feel the tightness and pain. Then I knew they were working! I
was stupid and tried to eat a bagel sandwich when I got home
that evening – DON'T DO THIS! I had a lot of pain after that
(and wasn't able to eat more than a couple of bites). When I
woke up on day two I had a lot of pain. I took three Advil and
once it kicked in, I only felt slight pressure. The second day
was definitely the worst of the pain. This morning when I woke
up (day three), there wasn't much pressure or pain at all.
Overall, it's been absolutely
worth it. I would do it again because I'm so looking forward to
having straight teeth and a beautiful smile. If you're still
trying to decide - go for it!

In rodent models of inherited retinal degeneration, expression of defective genes often begins when development is still completing, making it difficult to distinguish consequences of primary genetic defects from abnormalities in retinal development. Moreover, rodent eyes often turn out to be too small to test pharmacological and surgical treatments. An inducible paradigm of retinal degeneration potentially extensible to large animals is therefore desirable. Starting from the serendipitous observation that intraocular injections of Cytotoxic Necrotizing Factor 1(CNF1) toxin lead to retinal degeneration, we implemented an inducible model recapitulating key features of Retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
A single intravitreal injection of 0.1, 2, 3, and 10 nM CNF1 was performed in the right eyes of Long Evans hooded rats aged 2-4 months. Left eyes were injected with vehicle. After 2, 7 and 14 days, the eyes were fixed and frozen sections stained with antibodies labeling photoreceptors, bipolar, horizontal, amacrine and ganglion cells and retinal glia, which were studied by confocal microscopy. Additional rats were used to record the flash electroretinogram (ERG) in scotopic and photopic conditions.
3nM CNF1 was found to be optimal for generating a retinal degeneration pattern displaying key features of RP. One week after CNF1 injection, a clear effect on photoreceptors is observed, with loss of these cells and decrement in the number of inner nuclear layer rows. Reactive gliosis of Muller cells occurs. Bipolar and horizontal cells sprout toward the pigment epithelium while cells from the inner retina migrate in the inner plexiform layer. ERG recordings show a net decrease in the amplitude coherent with photoreceptor loss. At later times, photoreceptor rosettes also form. A dose-dependent effect of CNF1 is observed.
CNF1 is produced by pathological E. choli and causes constitutive activation of Rho-GTPases. These are key regulators of the actin cytoskeleton, highly expressed in photoreceptors, which are very sensitive to their activity (i.e. to Rac1). This explains a preferential effect of intravitreal CNF1 on these retinal cells. Because of the combination of morphological and functional findings described here, we expect that the adopted experimental paradigm will contribute to develop an inducible model of retinal degeneration instrumental to basic biology studies and rescue approaches.

Read information about the authorI dropped out of NYU film school in the mid 80s to play guitar and write songs for Woofing Cookies. We were a punk-pop four piece -- think R.E.M. meets the Ramones -- that toured up and down the East Coast, and had two singles and one full-length LP on Midnight Records.
The band broke up in 1987 and I followed my other passion, books. I've worked in the book industry ever since. And, of course, I write. And I write, And I write, write, write.
My first novel, The Scar Boys -- it's labeled as Young Adult, but I've never really liked labels -- published January 2014. It is, not surprisingly, a rock and roll coming of age story. No vampires or dystopian future, just a messed up boy and his guitar. (I have nothing against vampires or dystopian futures. I loved The Passage, The Hunger Games, and The Road.)
Scar Girl, the continuation of The Scar Boys' story, is due out from Egmont USA in fall 2015.
I live in Connecticut with my super awesome wife Kristen, and our six year old son Charlie, and three and a half year old son, Luke, and I spend my days working at a small book industry non profit.

Podcasts : Episode #50 – Something About You
So how did March slip away without a DJ Cruze podcast?! Thankfully I've managed to get it done in time for the start of April though. So here we are with episode #50 of the DJ Cruze podcast and there are plenty of big tunes for you on this show.
Kicking off the show we've got the new track from Groove Armada who are back with a joint venture with Barcadi and their B-Live label. It's a slice of indie-rock house music with a great remix from Rio De Janeiro's The Twelves. Then my main man Fred Falke gives us the goods with his soulful remake of City Life's "San Francisco". A fantastic house track with a laid back electric piano vibe.
The Soul Avengerz bring us some more funky house with a pumping bassline which is then followed by a new UK singer called Emma Deigman. London's Alex Blanco is on the mix and he gives us some funky keys and a chunky bassline. One of my favourite tracks of the moment comes from the US producers Live Element (aka Hott 22). They've cut-up a sample from Excile's "I Want To Kiss You All Over" for their new track "Something About You" and they give us a monster disco house track. I love it!
Canada's DJ DLG is always on top form with a big remix of Disco Wheel's "Good Times". It's a similar feel to his summer 2008 smash "Where Are You Now?" but that's not a bad thing. After that we've got a hot track from the big Dutch producer Dennis Christopher but with a cut-up electro house remix from the UK production team Dirty Secretz. I think they're going to be big in 2009. Another Dutchman, Laidback Luke, then gives us a wicked rework of the 1978 track from The Korgis with it's massive piano breakdown.
Finally we finish off the show with a massive progressive house track from Sweden's Eric Prydz on his Pryda Recordings label. "Miami To Atlanta" has been heavily bootlegged on the net since a ripped version from one of his DJ sets appear in the middle of last year. Thankfully he's finally released it and given it a bit of a rework since then and it's set to be one of the biggest tunes of the year. The Cruze Classic for this week is an awesome old breakbeat track called "Lock Up" by Zero B. Originally released in 1991 it was a hot tune for me back in the 90s with it's dubby bassline, sloppy breakbeats and hands-in-the-air breakdown.
So enjoy this month's show and don't forget to comment below and tell me what you think of the tunes.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Amazon, and Prime Day is a great mid-year opportunity to get some great deals. I'm going to be watching what's going on over there and updating all day today and tomorrow, as they roll out new deals every hour. Here's what I'm digging so far:
The Echo Dot is only $29 today. I now have one in every room. My kids use these as alarm clocks, speakers, and to listen to books. I can intercom them from the living room, and also listen in on them while not home. These are normally $49 but around Christmas and on Prime Day they go down to $29 so if you've ever wanted one, now is the time. It can now work in tandem with your Sonos system, so you can activate your whole home speakers with your voice. (Speaking of, the Sonos system is amazing and their speakers are $50 off today.)
The instapot: it's worth the hype. And the 6 quart version (plenty big for my family) is almost half off.
The kids' edition of the Kindle is $69 down from $99 today. Or you can get a simple Kindle paperwhite (my favorite for it's lack of other distracting apps) for just $50.
The Ring doorbell. I have one and love it SO MUCH. You can see what's happening at your door from afar and you can even answer it and intercom in and talk to them. It's an introvert's dream but it's also great for security. You can access videos or live views from your phone and download them as well.
TRUST ME ON THIS BRA. (or don't and go read the reviews.) It's under $12 today.
Cards Against Humanities is $5 off if you wanted to buy it for your mom and make your next game night with her really awkward.
Star projector nightlight – We got this for the kids at Christmas and it was the biggest hit. It casts stars and moons all over the ceiling. Even the older kids like it.
Vegetable spiral slicer – I love spiralizing veggies. This isn't the one I have, but 9000 people are in love with it.
This Logitech Boom 2 Waterproof AND Shockproof Bluetooth speaker is$94 versus $199. It isn't cheap, but we've had three of these for years, and even my Spotify addicted teenagers haven't managed to find a way to break it. Fantastic sound quality and perfectly kid/teen proof
The FitBit Alta fitness tracker is only $89 today, versus $150. Best, and now the cheapest, way to track your steps and keep your health regime on track.
The TileTracker is $45 today, normally $60. I lose my keys or purse, daily. Snap these on your keychain and throw one in your purse. PROBLEM SOLVED
This Blue Yeti professional podcast microphone is now $89 versus $130. I've tried a number of microphones and this was the best by far.

Less than a month after arriving in New York to begin an internship at the United Nations, FIU alumna Valeriana Chikoti-Bandua received an opportunity to do what only a few other interns have.
Not only did she get to meet U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, she was also invited by him to deliver a speech on behalf of her fellow interns on the floor of the General Assembly.
Being the only Angolan interning and currently working in the U.N. Secretariat, which carries out the diverse day-to-day work of the U.N. with an international staff working in duty stations around the world, Chikoti-Bandua stood out to the secretary general.
In her two-minute speech on Feb. 17, Chikoti-Bandua thanked the secretary general for the opportunity to work, learn and serve in the United Nations and urged fellow interns to take up the responsibility to address various issues facing the world.
"As future leaders, it is now our duty to stand in solidarity to speak up in order to address global issues that pertain to the reduction of poverty and gender inequality while also working to create tangible solutions that address economic and social injustices and disparities," she said in her speech.
For Chikoti-Bandua, who graduated from FIU's Master of Arts in Global Governance program (MAGG) and was born a refugee, many of the issues she touched upon in her speech hit close to home.
Chikoti-Bandua was born in Zambia after her parents were forced to flee from their home country of Angola as young children with tens of thousands of other Angolans to seek refuge from war. When she was three years old, they moved again, to Papua New Guinea, where she spent most of her childhood growing up.
Growing up as an African in a different nation, she initially struggled in elementary school and middle school to fit in, because many times she was looked upon as an outsider and experienced bullying, racism and other harsh realities.
Looking back now, however, Chikoti-Bandua sees her differences as a blessing rather than a curse.
"I had to overcome a lot, all because I was different," Chikoti-Bandua says. "But now I see that being different was possibly the best thing that could have happened. At the time I didn't know that because I really wanted to fit in, but it allowed me to become an advocate for women, refugees, minorities and immigrants because I know what it's like to experience what they experienced."
Throughout her elementary, middle and high school education Chikoti-Bandua went to different international schools and some of her teachers helped her grow into leadership roles as one of her school's student body presidents.
"They told us that one day we would be leaders and strongly suggested we apply to the U.N. [as interns] one day," Chikoti-Bandua recalls. "One of the things that stood out throughout my educational experience was that people kept encouraging me to use my international background to take the next step."
After her father's passing in 2004 and then graduating as the salutatorian at Port Moresby Business College, Chikoti-Bandua was at a crossroads when the opportunity to come to the United States to pursue a college degree presented itself. After a lot of consideration, she decided to take the leap.
"It really shook up my life because I realized that everything I learned I needed to put to use," Chikoti-Bandua says. "It was a dream inside of me to go to the United States to study. When my parents were younger, they didn't have the same opportunities that I have been granted."
After getting her bachelor's degree at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Okla., she learned about FIU's MAGG program through a Google search and applied.
She graduated from the master's program in Spring 2014 and hopes that her education and internship at the U.N. lay the foundation for a life dedicated to serving those who are going through what she faced growing up.
Driven by her faith, family and closest friends, Chikoti-Bandua says she is dedicated to being an advocate for human rights in Sub-Saharan Africa and around the world in some capacity, whether it be at the U.N., a position of leadership in Angola or through another international organization.
"I would like to serve those who have been in situations similar to myself. Refugees, immigrants, asylum seekers… those who suffer to have a place in society and feel that their societal issues are swept under the rug," Chikoti-Bandua says. "I want to be a voice for those who are voiceless."

The varsity wrestling team finished in 18th Place out of 70 Division I schools at the OHSAA State Wrestling Tournament this past weekend on the campus of The Ohio State University. Medina finished in a tie with Harrison who also ended up with 23 points.
The Battling Bees sent 5 individuals as qualifiers (Brayden Potter, Jared Dressler, Ryan Wissel, Jonathan List, and Brady Chrisman). The only wrestler to make it on the podium was Senior Brady Chrisman who finished as the Division I State Runner-up in the 170 pound weight class. He won 3 out of 4 matches on the weekend which included an exciting victory over a previously undefeated wrestler from Winton Woods on Friday night. Jared Dressler was the only other Medina wrestler to record a victory in Columbus.
Congratulations to all of our wrestlers that qualified for the State Tournament!

New data just released by Synergy Research shows clear dominance of cloud computing by a small number of companies considered hyperscale operators. Though the results of the research come as no surprise, the data does offer helpful insights to smaller companies looking to keep up. As a business data analyst, I can see the value in the research beyond mere recognition of the industry's biggest players.
Synergy says that there are two-dozen hyperscale players that now control 68% of all cloud infrastructure services. Among the 24 companies are four names we would expect to see: Microsoft, Google, IBM, and Amazon Web Services. It is assumed that Amazon is the runaway leader given their global permeation.
Late last year (2016), Synergy released data that showed hyperscale operators had some 300 data centres among them, located across the world. The numbers suggest they could eclipse 400 at some point in 2018. The largest percentage of those data centres are located in the US (45%) with much smaller penetration in China, Japan, and the UK.
Tying all the data together is research that shows that hyperscale operators will only continue to increase their market share in future years. It all boils down to size and cost.
As a business intelligence consultant, I find myself helping clients working within the economics of scale. The economics of scale principle clearly explains why hyperscale operators have become dominant in the cloud space while smaller companies struggle to keep up.
Hyperscale operators already possess the kind of infrastructure and software environment to offer cloud-based services. For example, hyperscale operators provided nearly half the market for things like infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) in 2012. Since then, they have expanded their market share by investing in more infrastructure and developing new services.
Their advantage is money. Simply put, the biggest players like Amazon and Microsoft have the financial resources to continue developing cloud products. Their R&D teams are fully funded, they purchase hardware in bulk, and they can leverage the power of corporate revenues to attract favourable financing when it becomes necessary. Smaller companies are at a disadvantage simply because they lack size, financial resources, and clout.
This is not to say that smaller companies can't compete for what remains of the market. They can, and they should. Small companies don't become dominant market players without first competing at their own level. As a small business succeeds, it moves on to larger and more competitive markets.
As a business data analyst and freelance business intelligence consultant, I make it my business to keep an eye on things like the cloud computing and data services market. I can see what hyperscale operators are doing, and I can use my knowledge and experience to help clients compete. If your company is ready to take that next step to be competitive in a larger market, I'm here to help. Feel free to reach out at any time.

Daddy's Little Boy - er - Girl
Daddy had to wear a suit to school for a presentation. Reese saw him picking out a tie and decided that she had to do the same thing. She was quite happy with herself.

Jazz Game
Christmas Shopping
Unfortunately, this dilemma took two seconds too long. Just as I was pulling the stroller to block the door, I heard a 'splash splash.' Reese! Get your hands out of the toilet!
Tuesday, December 1, 2009
- We combined two tables together to form one huge long table to seat 18 people.
- We had to use two tablecloths- one fall leaves and one plain red. Then we had red plates, blue bowls and white napkins. We had to change out the blue bowls for white ones so the settings looked more Thanksgiving than Independence Day.
-we had orange leaf-shaped place cards that we set in the glasses. It helped the red and white table look a lot more festive.
- We had two turkeys. Todd was in charge of the turkey, but I defrosted a second one by accident, so I ended up cooking a bird, too. It's a good thing we have three ovens between my mom and Megan's houses.
- Half the yams didn't get done, and the other half were only done halfway through dinner. I gave the whole bowl to Shelly because she was emphasising how much she loves yams.
- Reese would have nothing to do with anything except the jell-o.
- Other than the yams, the dinner was a huge success! Thanks to those who helped and those who brought extras!
And here's a video of Will and Reese playing the cover-my-face game, just because I don't have any more pictures.
Oh, PS: I still can't find my camera. Would you keep a look out for it, Mom?

Cutest Baby In The World
This picture is a little blurry, but I like it, so I posted it.
Oh yeah, and we're having another baby, probably in July. I worry because I'm pretty sure I already have the cutest girl in the world, how can another baby stand a chance?

Play Date
Reese had a friend come over to play today. I loved it. They played happily in the living room and I got the dishwasher unloaded and then loaded again with minimal baby interference. Reese's friends name is Kat, and she often goes by "Kit Kat" at home. Her mom likes to joke that "the Heath's are taking Reese's Pieces and Kit Kat to play".
Every once in a while they fought over a toy, but I'm just glad I have two kitchen stools, or there would have been some major pulling, pushing and screaming- Reese loves to sit on the kitchen stool and Kat wouldn't give it up when she found how fun it is.

We had tithing settlement with our bishop yesterday. Reese stole the magnetic paperclip holder from his desk. He said it was okay, but I'm not always happy about extra stuff at our home. Paperclips all over the floor.
Lost a paperclip

We pulled out some old accessories from my mom's attic to make Reese a "rodeo princess" and Will her "cowboy coach"
We were also lazy with Reese. We figured if we drew some stripes on her face, people would figure that she at one point must have had a costume on, but it just didn't last. Hm. I take it back, we're way creative.
Happy Halloween!
Around The House
I tried to think of something we might have around the house that we could stack up into a tower, when I realized we had just got a bulk purchase of tissue boxes. At first she had no interest, then she helped me stack, then, when I had knocked the tower over a couple of times ad she realized she could do it herself, wouldn't even let one box stand upright by itself.
We also let her play with the box from her new winter boots.
Unfortunately it's another case of the "drop what I'm doing so I can stare at the camera"s
Not a whole lot of excitement- this one's for you, Ellie.
Monday, October 19, 2009
Last week, right before leaving for Bear Lake, we spent a bunch of time searching for one of Reese's sneakers. We looked everywhere but couldn't find it. Eventually we gave up and put her Church shoes on instead. While we were up at the apartment at Bear lake, we noticed that she kept opening all the drawers and cupboards. Hmmm. Sure enough, when we got home, we found her lost shoe in her dresser where we keep the diapering stuff. It's become a new hobby of Reese's: getting into all sorts of stuff she couldn't before (and doesn't realize we liked it that way.)
Yesterday I was working on some computer things (our computer is in her room) and she kept opening a cupboard in her dresser and pulling out diapers. I told her repeatedly not to do so and helped her put the diapers back and close the door, but as soon as I had my back turned, there she would go again. Today I found her in the closet, stuck in her shoe bin. (Will had a hard time finding her in this picture, it's like a where's Waldo)
And she still hates it that I try to ignore her when I'm cooking.
Trip To Bear Lake
We went on a hike to some freshwater springs in Paris, Idaho. The springs were gorgeous, and it was pretty cool to see the water just come up out of the ground like that.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes called the Mormon Church) has received a lot of positive press in recent years. That comes, in part, from the church's consistent and generous participation in disaster relief efforts throughout the world. Often, the LDS (Latter-day Saint) Church is among the first to respond with flown-in emergency supplies, and it stays around during recovery and clean-up efforts providing vital volunteer labor.
So, what's the emergency that puts the Mormons on the receiving end? Well, hunting season is coming up in the United States, and recent developments show that the church could use a hand rediscovering the position of many of its former leaders on the issue of killing for fun.
In the early 1800's, Church founder Joseph Smith demonstrated vision not commonly shared with many of the other Christian teachers of his day. He taught that even animals have eternal souls and that humans should show compassion and refrain from killing them unless absolutely necessary. Several of Smith's successors emphasized similar principles and labeled sport hunting as an activity unworthy of church members. As recently as 1978, the president of the LDS Church taught in a solemn worldwide church general conference to avoid needless killing as a form of recreation.
Unfortunately, things have changed in recent years and financial considerations have pushed church leaders to not only drop any criticism of sport hunting but to actively promote it. The Church now benefits financially by running big-ticket, private, hunting preserves on some of the same agricultural lands that provide foodstuffs used in its relief efforts.
Two years ago, we reported on one such facility. See http://www.vegsource.com/articles/catano_hunting.htm . We also requested that readers who disapprove of a religious organization making money by promoting bloodsport send their feedback to the church's Public Affairs Office. Enough of you did that it convinced the Church to make some changes. "Canned" hunts (the releasing of captive animals as easy prey for hunters) were eliminated. The facility also stopped assigning LDS Church missionaries to staff the hunt clubs.
Unfortunately, we've recently learned that other steps maintain the status quo and allow the continued earning of profit while giving the appearance that the church has distanced itself from the hunting operations. For example, at Westlake Farm near Elberta, Utah, the church has leased the sport hunting operations to a private party. At first glance, that seemed like a positive step. After closer examination, it appears that no significant changes were made. A spokesman for the church disclosed that the church still intends to profit from the new arrangement, and a church-owned corporation continues to develop artificial habitat to lure more game animals onto its land.
On other LDS Church-owned properties the hunting operations remain unchanged. The mammoth Deseret Land and Livestock ranch in Northern Utah continues to operate a big-ticket hunting and fishing operation. Killing a bull elk there can cost wealthy hunters over $11,000. There are other fee-based sport hunting facilities, but the Church's First Presidency and Presiding Bishopric have informed us through a Public Affairs official that they will not disclose locations or provide any further information about them.
One irony is that the LDS Church is often quite strict about the things people can or can't do on its real estate. A Public Affairs official commented, "It is common knowledge that the Church imposes restrictions on property that it leases." For example, businesses that sell products discouraged by the church's health code, like tobacco and alcohol, cannot lease space in church-owned commercial and office buildings nor can those items be consumed there. Restrictions even cover what types of movies can be shown at theaters in church-owned shopping malls.
Hunting purely for fun, on the other hand, apparently does not carry any moral stigma in the LDS Church today. The church does enforce a "no drinking, no smoking, and no Sunday hunting" policy on its facilities, but, on the other six days, the killing of animals for fun-once considered morally wrong by at least five past presidents of the church-continues for the sake of revenue.
Previously, we communicated directly with the church's agricultural management firm, Farm Management Corporation, on this matter, but now a gag order has been established to funnel all discussion of the hunting facilities through the church's Public Affairs Office. E-mail from the general public is not accepted, but the phone, fax and mailing address are below.
Please give the church the benefit of your views on church-sponsored bloodsport. The LDS Church does many marvelous things like helping all people during times of crisis, so please take a few minutes to help the church see that the older, more compassionate position of its former leaders regarding sport hunting might be rediscovered and pulled down from the shelf.

Welcome to the Rotary eClub of Silicon Valley!
Here's a message from President Andrew:
Greetings Rotarians and Guests,
A couple weeks ago, we had an awards ceremony of Laptops for Good. As one of our club projects that serve youth, LFG awards laptops, laptop mice, laptop cases, and USB drives to students who are low-income, matriculating into college, and have a strong history of community service. We awarded 4 laptops on July 7 to students who are pursuing careers with opportunities to improve communities in fields like law and engineering.
Members Ferheen, Mitty, and I had the wonderful opportunity to meet these young scholars and hear about their dreams for the future and the nervous excitement about this next step in their lives. At some point during the morning chatting with the students, it struck me how incredibly unique the moment was. The funding that made all of this possible came from our members, all over the world, from different walks of life. I had the opportunity to stand in the middle, as support came from one corner of the world—whether it was paying membership dues, selling tickets for our annual youth services fundraiser, submitting happy dollars, fill out district grant forms, or spreading the word about our eClub—to award a tool that would help a service-minded student be successful in college and, quite possibly, go on to be world citizens themselves.
There are few experiences more humbling than being a part of such an endeavor. I look forward to us continuing to do our best to do good.
Andrew Taw, President

We believe laughter is an important part of life, and we should all make time to laugh a little. This segment of our meeting is meant to tickle you just enough. These funnies are curated by member Yvonne Kwan, our "Lady of Laughter!"
This week's LOL moment comes from our very own member, Brian Liddicoat, who shared this with me and thought I would get a kick out of it. I CAN't say he was wrong. The original Facebook post was shared with the caption:
Performing a can-tata . . .
Crumpled Beer Can Choir
Posted on June 15, 2017 by Nigel
"Dutch artist Dennis Daniels created this brilliant display which I spotted just outside a small gallery on Prinsengracht. A choir made out of crumpled beer cans with Jack Daniels as the conductor!"
Weekly Inspiration
Every week we start our meetings with a short video highlighting innovation, inspiration, entrepreneurship, or social change.

Coffee With a Rotarian
A natural part of Rotary is the networking and the fellowship you get out of meeting other Rotarians. Coffee With a Rotarian is a monthly program of our club where we match participating club members for one-on-one virtual (or in some cases in person) coffee meetings, so they can learn more about each other. This program is organized by member Tzviatko Chiderov.
This week we have Brian from Corralitos, CA, USA reporting on his chat with Tanya from Atlanta, GA, USA.
I chatted with our new member Tanya Martin, from Atlanta by way of Cincinnati. Tanya is a longtime professional editor, which is a skill highly valued by lawyers: she knows how to write! But lest you think Tanya edits dry technical journals, she also writes a pro blog on all things luxury AND writes mystery novels with a dominatrix flavor! So when the bad guy gets the handcuffs in the end, that's just the beginning…. You will enjoy speaking with Tanya: I guarantee it!
We encourage all club members to participate in Coffee With a Rotarian. You can sign up here!

Happy Dollars: Do Good by Sharing Something Good
Each week we ask our members to share stories with the club and toss in a few dollars to support our efforts. The primary goal of this section is to provide a fun way of getting to know each fellow members and guests, while giving back to a good cause.
Happy dollars is an opportunity to share something positive that has happened in your life whether it is personal or business. Think of it as your opportunity to brag a little, but also put a little bit into a karma jar. The money donated through happy dollars is put to charitable use, and the message that you leave for happy dollars will be posted in our online meeting the following week for the entire week for folks to see! (Pending that it's appropriate!)
Here are the happy dollars contributions from last week!
Member Rory Olsen made a $20 donation. Here is what he had to say:
Had a nice Coffee with a Rotarian with Andrew, our president.
House is almost done.
Please apply my gift to Polio Plus!
Member Brian Liddicoat made a $15 donation. Here is what he had to say:
Both kids at camp: what to do with all this time?
Share your happy dollars thoughts with us and help with doing good around the world.
Selected Comments
Every week at the bottom of our meetings, there is a comments section for members and guests to tell us what they enjoyed about the meeting or to ask questions to the speaker. We select a few comments every week from last week's meeting to be featured during this week's meeting.
Here are the comments selected from last week's meeting.
Charlie Tuttle said:
It's really great to see people—incarcerated or not—make the effort to better their financial literacy. Curtis' lessons will no doubt rehabilitate and help these people take care of themselves financially when they are eventually released, which is part of what a correctional facility should be doing.
Bob, your program is inspiring! Helping them with their education will certainly improve the quality of life for the generations to come. Thank you for the work that you do.
Keith Marsh said:
Bob, Thanks for the program. I just returned from Africa for a Rotary water project in Kenya and Tanzania. Took lots of photos and hope to share my experience with the club in the coming months.
Rushton Hurley said:
Loved the videos about the inmate teaching finance and the Rotaract club in Uganda. Ferheen, I like your title – welcome to the programs committee! Catherine A, your happy dollars donation celebrating the successful rescue in Thailand was great to read. The presentation from Bob Blacker was an eye-opening one; it is especially strong for Bob's willingness to look past easy political reasons for ignoring a community and work from the heart.
Be sure to leave a comment at the end of this week's meeting after you watch the program below, and perhaps you'll see your comment featured next week!
Program: Re-Imagine Mental Health & Wellness
Every week we bring to you a new program on innovation, entrepreneurship, and education, and how those contribute to service to others.
What would it look like? How could we get there? Effective models coming to scale along the prevention continuum.
Share your thoughts or ask our speaker a question in the comments at the bottom of this meeting page!

You're Almost Done! One last thing: The Attendance Survey…
Thanks for reading and watching this week's meeting. You have two last things to do before you're done. First, we have a very short attendance survey below for you to fill out to record your attendance.
Visiting Rotarians, this is how you can get an email receipt to pass along to your club's secretary as proof that you've attended our meeting if you need it for makeups.

More importantly, for all members and guests — we strongly recommend and ask that you leave a comment below in our comments area below. Tell us how you enjoyed the program. Ask this week's speaker any questions you might have. Or just stop by and say hello and tell us where you're from!

Loaded with plenty of positive customer reviews, Laura Ashley bedding products continue to provide excellence and are definitely recommended.
The Many Uses of Quilts
When you first think of quilts, you might think of a homemade stitched one that your family member made for you when you were young. Quite frankly, you are not that far off. Quilts have been used for special occasions and often times as gifts. What they are also good for is their visual appeal.
Quilts are not a blanket, nor are they a duvet, but a covering for your bed. Three layers are stitched together to create a layer that proves to be thick but appealing in nature. Quilts can be used for a variety of purposes. Whether you are hanging it over your bed or using it as an extra layer of warmth, they are a versatile item that is treasured.
Laura Ashley brand quilts prove that they can become an important asset in your bedding designs. Their quality is outstanding and their detail is so fine-tuned, it begs the question, "When can I get one?"

As an interior designer I always seem to be passing out advice (and to be honest sometimes judgment) about other people's décor. Realistically it's my job to pay attention to every last detail, we're talking minutia like picture hanging hardware, thread count on sheets and the difference between satin nickel and just plain nickel.Read More »
Last week I was cold busted by a friend, who moved the strategically placed, framed photo on my night stand which had been hiding my Sony box alarm clock from 1986. Yes, I could have lied and said I was going retro, but that didn't seem to make any sense considering my bedroom has a French traditional flare to it. I'm not sure if it was attachment anxiety (I bought it with my allowance in high school), laziness, or the unwillingness to spend a grip on a new bedroom alarm clock, but at that moment, I knew I had to walk the line, practice what I preach and buy myself a decent alarm clock. A sense of relief washed over me when I began my search for the perfect timepiece, not only were they pleasing to look at, but they had tons of features and were all pretty reasonable priced.

Share on Twitter Click me! Copy Link Photo by @evagoicochea/Instagram Even in our current food-obsessed culture, both increased interest in and access to specialty foods—organic, artisanal, locally-sourced, etc.—doesn't necessarily mean that we've become healthier, unfortunately. Instead of chasing after the latest gastronomic trends or ordering the most Instagram-worthy dish on the menu, what we should also be focusing on is the actual nutritional content of the food we're consuming and how it makes an impact to our overall health. Some of the major building blocks of healthy human growth rely on vitamins—those essential organic compounds found in plant and animal materials that we need for healthy body system functionality. While our early hunter-gatherer ancestors were able to source the entirety of their essential vitamin and mineral needs from their diets—which were rich in wild fruits and berries, nuts, and small game—it's become a bit more of a struggle for the modern day man to maintain a well-balanced diet. This has been well documented in both the scientific and medical communities over the centuries. Due to increasingly starch-heavy diets that contain little overall vitamin value, today, a great deal of us are calorie rich, but nutrient poor. Dutch physician Christian Eijkman first connected the cause of certain diseases to nutritional deficiency. Photo courtesy of Museum Boerhaave/Wikimedia Commons With the advent of agriculture and a more stationary existence, and subsequent casting off of the hunter-gatherer ways, certain nutritional deficits became more apparent. During an epidemic of beriberi disease in the late 1800s, it was Christiaan Eijkman, a Dutch physician and professor of physiology (and eventual 1929 Nobel Prize winner), who suspected the uptick in cases was due to a dietary lacking. He was correct, and though Eijkman himself wasn't able to make the direct connection, others would take up his mantle, eventually linking the disease to a lack of thiamine—also known as vitamin B1, found in meat, dairy products, and whole grains. This revelation prompted further research into both the purpose and source of these vital nutrients in regards to our overall wellness. Inspired by the research of Eijkman, Polish biochemist Casimir Funk made more important strides in this arena in 1912, and was instrumental in creation of the actual term "vitamin." Funk, along with English biochemist Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins, discovered that a lack of vitamins could be harmful to your health—the inaugural theory of deficiency disease was born. From there, the early 20th century saw even more progress—linking a deficiency of vitamin D to rickets, vitamin A to blindness, and vitamin B12 to anemia. Polish biochemist Casimir Funk helped to coin the term "vitamin" meaning "amine of life" which derived from the discovery that an amine compound like thiamine (B1) was able to prevent Beriberi disease. Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons Today, vitamins and supplements have grown to a $68 billion dollar global industry, a $13 billion market in the United States alone, and while we've made leaps and bounds in understanding the effect vitamins have on our systems, consumers still struggle with what they should be taking, and how much of it. Of course, while a well-balanced diet is still the best way to get all your necessary nutrients, for some that just may not be possible—food allergies, dietary restrictions, and socio-economic capabilities may be limiting in this pursuit. Where your diet falls short, more targeted single vitamins or supplements may help fill in the gaps, but a doctor or dietitian should always be consulted about which are the most appropriate. Ultimately, your health causes a ripple effect on every aspect of your life, so do yourself a favor and get educated about why you eat what you eat and the subsequent influence it all has on your overall well-being. Being knowledgeable about how to make healthier choices is the first step on the path to improved wellness, and that's something we can all get behind. The GOOD Wellness Project is an eight-month collaboration with Walgreens and Vitamin Angels, in support of the #100MillionReasons initiative to bring vital micronutrients to 100 million malnourished children across the globe by 2017. In order to gain clarity and raise awareness about health and well-being, we are diving into vitamins, alternative medicine, the effects of the environment on our body systems, and more, to provide a deeper understanding of what it looks like to live a healthy, well-balanced life.

This may be any number of things, but most frequently it's the advantage of offering group medical insurance. While this could be a superb strategy for your small business to take so as to recruit new workers, there are a few things you have to know first before you dip into choosing a plan.
A group health insurance program can be obtained by any small business that has as small as two employees for as many as fifty. There are two ways that you can go about supplying the health insurance to your employees; this may mainly be determined by your own budget. Many small businesses that provide group medical insurance help contribute to the expense of this strategy. On the other hand, if a worker would like to get coverage to their families, the employer may offer to pay the workers' premiums and have them pay the premium for their families.
Another aspect of the group health insurance program will be picking between managed care or fee-for-service.
An HMO will significantly reduce the cost your members might need to cover medical care provided that they use the providers specified by the HMO. A PPO won't require a referral to allow them to find a professional. Even though the PPO is more flexible it will bring higher prices into the per-visit and yearly deductibles.
The POS programs are basically a mix of the characteristics you'll see in an HMO and PPO. Members get to determine whether to cover a flat fee for offices in the community or pay a deductible fee to see someone out of network. The fee-for-service plan provides the employee the power to select health care providers themselves. This usually means they will have way more flexibility with where they can go for medical aid.
Adding an attractive Group Health insurance plan for your business could potentially bring you, additional workers. This is just the basic information regarding Group Health insurance; there are many alternatives to consider when deciding upon a strategy. Be sure to explore all options to make the ideal plan for your employees. (yip)

A modern master, Irving Penn possessed a rare gift in his ability to capture the soul of both people and objects in a stunningly graphic way. Perhaps best known for his iconic fashion, still life and portrait images that graced the pages of Vogue, Penn was one of the most inimitable photographers of the twentieth century. Along with Richard Avedon he contrived many of the concepts that have shaped the landscape of modern fashion photography and set a precedent for the fashion photographer as an artist. One would however be foolish to proscribe him as merely a fashion photographer, as his oeuvre was superbly unbounded by genre. Boasting a career that spanned almost seventy years, Penn was paramount in curtailing the chasm between commercial and fine art photography which ultimately aided in narrowing the gap between art and fashion. Often exploring themes of beauty, decay and the captivating strangeness that stems from fusing reality with ingenuity. Occupied by an intriguing array of subjects from remote lands, to fanciful fruit to Salvador Dali, his images exemplify his finesse for stark simplicity and refined technique .
Approaching his work with an artist's eye and pursuing it with a calmly incessant dedication, he radically expanded the creative potential of photography at a time when the medium was primarily understood as a means of communication. His innate ability to portray life's diverse characters with a compassion and honesty imbue his work with a raw power and mysterious energy that can be appreciated on a profoundly emotional and intellectual level. Startlingly sensual and immaculately defined there is an accidental and unconventional allure to his work perhaps best demonstrated through his manipulation of mundane objects that challenge traditional ideals of beauty. Born in 1917 in New Jersey, Penn grew up with dreams of being a painter and studied at the Philadelphia Museum School of Industrial Arts in the mid 30s. It was here that under the influence of Alexey Brodovitch – renowned art director of Harpers Bazaar – and through exposure to exhibitions, magazines, architecture and photography, he learnt the foundations of modern art and design.
His first attempt at fashion photography would in fact become the first still life to grace the cover of Vogue and consisted of an outré composition of a scarf, gloves, lemons, oranges, leather bag and a topaz. He would later go on to shoot an unprecedented 165 covers (more than any single photographer) for the magazine. Unafraid to experiment he administered both vintage and high-tech cameras, utilising unusual lenses and antique printing techniques. With a self-proclaimed thirst for ingenuity it was perhaps his constant diversity in subjects that fed his eager fantasy. An idyllic working week was spent in Paris in the 1950s where his clientele ranged inordinately from the likes of Alberto Giacometti to French butchers to a haute couture shoot – all taking place within the same studio. Indelible portraits – frequently featuring acclaimed silhouettes, couture gloriously captured in natural light, fleurs tiptoeing the line of life and death and pure detritus in the form of a series of cigarette butts are only a few examples of the sheer breadth of Penn's career. His curious eyes allowed him to calmly transform the banal into enduring moments of surreal beauty, many of which are currently on show at The Grand Palais. In light of the centenary of his birth and in partnership with MoMA New York and The Irving Penn Foundation the retrospective traces his career and holds over 235 of his photographs as well as a selection of drawings and paintings offering an unmissable panoramic eye on his oeuvre.
Irving Penn is on view at Grand Palais until January 29th.
