With the selection of wine farms such as Kievits Kroon and Stellenbosch Vineyards, the luxurious country estate and golden sunshine, Olive Tapenade Shop is a match made in heaven. As Thomas Jefferson says… the olive tree is surely the richest gift of heaven!
Olive Tapenade Shop showcases the best that the local industry has to offer. Their selection ranges from world-class olive oils winning international prices to flavoured oils, all beautifully packaged in bottles, tins and tubes. They travelled the country searching for the best and most interesting olives made by the many innovative South African olive farmers. Tapenade celebrates the local industry by offering the many olive spreads and jams, including chutneys, salsas, mustards and salts, all made with the humble olive. Add to that beauty products such as bath salts, soaps, oils, creams and lip balms, all olive based.
The name Tapenade is derived from the traditional French olive spread made with chopped olives, capers and anchovies. The business was started in 2005 by Nani Kornelius when she opened a retail store. Since the beginning the focus was also on the sourcing and supply of bespoke and custom made gifts for corporate clients and individuals. This year sees the launch of Tapenade's on-line olive store.

text: In February 2017 the working group presented a draft instrument on enforcement of international commercial settlement agreements. 'Conciliation' is defined in the draft to include mediation. It is important because if the draft progressed to a convention, settlement agreements would be given legal effect between the parties and enforced in accordance with the rules of procedure of the State where the settlement agreement is sought to be relied on. The grounds for refusing to give legal effect to a settlement agreement are, properly understood, broad and include a ground where the allegation might be raised that the settlement agreement is null and void, inoperative or incapable of being enforced under the law to which the parties have subjected it. At least 3 of the grounds open up the mediation process and the impartiality of the mediator to scrutiny. The document requires careful consideration. If applicable, confidentiality, often considered important, may be compromised beyond parties' expectations. Further, one ground puts the mediator firmly in the spotlight. That is, if the mediator fails to maintain a fair treatment of the parties which had a material impact or undue influence on a party without which the agreement would not have been entered into, the settlement agreement may not be enforcedd.

Margarethe Cammermeyer
Margarethe Cammermeyer - Gay Rights Activist and War Veteran
Margarethe "Grethe" Cammermeyer was a veteran of the US army, serving as a nurse for thirty one years around the world, including Vietnam. She reached the rank of Colonel and received a number of awards. She was both principled, strong, and successful and in 1991 she famously told the army that "I am a lesbian". She was discharged - and then successfully sued the army and was reinstated.
The film Serving in Silence is a documentary of her story. I had never heard of her until I stumbled over the trailer on YouTube. I'm pretty sure most of you haven't heard of her either, and you should.
Had You Ever Heard Of Margarethe Cammermeyer?
It is only by challenging others with our humanity that we will become human in their eyes.
Awards and Honours
Serving in Silence: The Colonel Margarethe Cammermeyer
I started watching the trailer for Serving in Silence when I was putting together the page on lesbian books and films, and that is how I discovered this woman, and decided I had to write something about her.
Glenn Close won an Emmy for this film, and the film won, in total, three Emmy Awards and the prestigious Peabody Award.
Glenn Close played Margarethe Cammermeyer in this mostly true story of her fight against the US army when they wanted to fire her under DADT (...for 'engaging in immoral conduct').
Glenn Close won an Emmy for her portrayal of Margarethe Cammermeyer in this 1995 made-for-television film. An army medical officer in line for a career promotion during the first Bush Administration, but suddenly faced discharge proceedings after admitting to being a lesbian, the real-life Cammermeyer became a focus of national attention on the issue of gays in the military. This sensitive production focuses on Cammermeyer's decision to fight institutional bigotry and the way her family and that of her longtime partner, Diane Divelbess (Judy Davis, who also won an Emmy), rally to support these good people. The script by Alison Cross captures the sad irony of doing everything right--serving one's country, taking care of the people in one's life--yet still being treated like a pariah for entirely irrational reasons. A bit of dismissible controversy arose about a discreet kiss between the principals, but for the most part this film is designed to win over the hearts and minds of a broad audience with its sheer humanity. --Tom Keogh
Books Written By Margarethe Cammermeyer - Books she had a hand in writing
If I am uncomfortable, it is where I need to be.
Don't Ask, Don't Tell: Gay Rights and the Military - Books that cover Margarethe Cammermeyer's story and DADT
Margarethe Cammermeyer was asked if she ever engaged in homosexual behaviour in 1989, during the first Bush administration. The Don't Ask Don't Tell policy was a compromise brought in by Clinton in 1993.

The Great Deep
The Great Deep is a one movement piece for piano and tuba. It is in five sections. The first opens with a sonic description of the sea free from any foreign conqueror. The second section introduces humanity to the piece and the ocean rejects man by sending a great storm to sink the ship in the third section. The fourth section is filled with aleatory describing the vastness of the bottom of the ocean where the ship now lies. The final section is the shortest. It is all that remains from the wreckage. It is a chest that washes up on the shore with a small music box still wound inside that slows down until it finally stops.

New Year, New Version/
I'm still here, don't worry... And I've got some good news for you: thanks to my star copyeditors, who have spotted a few more typos that slipped the net, The Two Empires is now in version 1.3. If you've bought it from Amazon, make sure you've switched on automatic updates on the Manage Your Kindle page. Unfortunately I don't think it will update already-purchased versions right away, but it should happen soon.
More good news: this means that The Two Empires is now ready for print. I've submitted the new version, and a proof paperback should be on its way out to me shortly. Exciting times!
And finally, my article about Finland seems to have gone down well. I've had a lot of good feedback about it and in fact Visit Finland decided to link to it today on Twitter. Yes, really.
I'm going to be doing some more posts like that in the future, longer reads, not necessarily just about my book, because (for those of you who haven't noticed yet) I like writing, and it makes for an interesting change. I've got a few ideas in mind, and plenty more to say about Finland, but if there are any topics you'd like to suggest then feel free to let me know via your communication platform of choice.

What happened
Shares of 8x8 (NYSE:EGHT) rose 26.6% in 2016, according to data from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
So what
The provider of internet-based voice and communications services put together a remarkable financial record last year. 8X8 beat Wall Street's earnings and sales estimates handily in each one of the year's quarterly reports, citing strong organic revenue growth among larger customers along the way. Large-scale corporate customers accounted for 53% of the company's total sales in the recently reported second quarter, and these big clients are also showing strong loyalty to the 8x8 brand by renewing their service contracts.
Now what
8x8 is becoming a global voice over internet protocol (VoIP) service provider with recently opened data centers in Amsterdam, Singapore, and Brazil. The company's unique blend of digital voice and video communications products is gaining traction around the world, creating a new runway for international growth. Overseas sales still only account for 12% of total sales, up from 10% in the year-ago period.
Average sales per corporate customer are also on the upswing, increasing 14% year over year in the second quarter. 8X8 is not necessarily an investment for every portfolio given its near-breakeven bottom line and sky-high valuation ratios, but there's still plenty to love about this next-generation communications platform.

Gully Park | Fayetteville Arkansas Photographer | Carissa + Brandon
Here are some super cute engagement photos for you on this fine wednesday morning! It was a perfect evening for a walk when we met Carissa and Brandon at Gully Park in Fayetteville, a place special to this couple because it is where Brandon asked Carissa to be his bride! We loved hearing the story of how it happened so much, that we're passing it on to you. Brandon pretended he was stranded at the park with a broken down car and set up a table and Champagne under the pavilion. When Carissa came to his rescue, he proposed using a camera carrying, ring box opening robot! Now that's one we hadn't heard before! Before we got some dressy shots with just the two of them, we were sure to get plenty with their delightful daughter, Ella and their dog, Pluto. We had a lot of fun shooting this wonderful couple. We wish them a happy engagement and a marvelous marriage!

Award Winning Call Handling and Appointment Management for Salons
You look after your clients, whilst we handle the calls
How Can Our Salon Genies Help You?
When You Need More Than a Human Answering Machine
The Appointment Booking and Diary Management offered by The Salon Genie provides you with experienced receptionists who, between them, book hundreds of appointments every day so are used to guiding callers to the most convenient appointment.
Your salon diary is the single most important element when it comes to your salon profits. So it is important that it is managed effectively to maximise the appointment times.
Salons that use our services report:
- Reductions in the number of gaps between appointments
- Increase in profits as the diary is fuller
- Ability to schedule stylists and technicians to clients rather than keeping someone available to answer the phone
How it works
Nice Things Our Customers Say About Us:
Absolute solution to what I needed
Labs Clinic
Absolutely Fantastic
If you take any kind of bookings, the genies are absolutely fantastic. They can take all your bookings and pop it straight on to your diary. The works done for you, so you can give your clients in the salon 100% focus without missing any customers.
S Aherne
Shwe Tan
Discreet and Confidential Receptionist Service
The Salon Genie is my main receptionist. They answer the phone and book appointments. Our clients travel from around the country to our clinics in Northamptonshire and Leicestershire. What I love most about The Salon Genie's service is that it's discreet and confidential service. Some of our clients might feel self-conscious or embarrassed about getting treatments, but the Genies are always considerate and put everyone at ease right from the first ring.
Aesthetic Clinic
Everything you need and more
The Salon Genies are amazing ... so professional and helpful. They are everything you need and more. Took so much work off our girls in salon. Highly recommend.
Catherine Prestidge
Prestidge Beauty
Huge Asset to our Business
A huge asset to our business as we cannot always answer our phone when we are in treatment. Friendly and bubbly and they certainly know what there doing. Think ahead of your competitors as lots of people don't want to leave a voice msg so by someone answering in a professional manner it says to them that you care.
Adele Sweet
Madame Wax
Integral part of our clinic
We have been clients of The Office Genie for over 12 years and are delighted with their consistently efficient professional service. They have become an integral part of our aesthetic clinic as it has expanded and have never failed to change and grow along with us. Our own clients frequently tell us how pleasant our Genies are, which; as many times they are our first point of contact, is essential to the success of our company.
M Smith
Such an Obvious Choice
When we used voicemail or a call centre it inconvenienced our clients as we had to call them back. Using this service, a trained stylist has an extra three days a week instead of being "the receptionist". The genies know everything they need to know. When we changed our appointment software, they learned the new system within 24 hours!
Like most salons, we were just not able to get to every call. Using The Salon Genie to book our appointments when they answer the phone was such an obvious
choice. The Genies have now become part of our team.

"POLITICS HAVE no relation to morals." -- Niccolo Machiavelli
I'D LIKE to say politics have no relation to movies, but of course, they do, especially when it comes to "war" movies.
If you don't see much point in any war, you are likely not to be swept away by most films about conflict. If you believe some, or even all, wars are necessary and noble, you're likely a fan of violent confrontation and heroics.
Mostly, American heroics.
This brings us to the smash hit of the past weekend, Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper," starring Bradley Cooper as Chris Kyle, a real-life guy who was known to be the most expert and deadly sniper, ever, during his four tours of duty in the Middle East. (He was referred to, fearfully, as "The Devil of Ramadi" by Iraqi insurgents.)
First off, Cooper is remarkable -- and not just because he transformed himself physically, bulking up by about 40 pounds, but because his tremendous performance captures Kyle's devotion to his job. Kyle was a Navy SEAL when 9/11 occurred, which further motivated him to "do something" for his country. Kyle was also an increasingly troubled man, and perhaps something of an exaggerator, although "American Sniper" -- based on his own memoir -- does not go into his post-service controversies.
(Kyle and his friend, Chad Littlefield, were shot and killed on a shooting range in 2013. With cruel irony, their killer was a Marine Corps vet whom Kyle and Littlefield were attempting to ease through PTSD.)
That Cooper manages to come across as well as he does -- totally worthy of his Oscar nomination -- is a tribute to his talent, because the script doesn't tell much. He's not portrayed as an invincible hero, or a killing machine who simply loves his job. He's flawed, conflicted. But we never quite grasp his initial zeal or his subsequent issues at home with his family. (Sienna Miller as his wife does a great deal with very little!)
I feel the script let the actors down, but perhaps it was director Eastwood's intention; to allow interpretation. I wouldn't call "American Sniper" a rah-rah flag-waving effort, although the stars and stripes are judiciously evident. Nor is it an anti-war film, for all the realistic gore, horror and increasing desensitizing of soldiers in battle. It just is! It's war! And it's one man's story. He was patriotic; he was religious; he was flawed. He struggled tremendously with what he did, who he was, and the man he might become away from the killing fields.
You don't have to like war, agree with how and why we came to fight after 9/11 or even, if you ever saw Kyle on TV, like the man. But, if you love movies, I suggest you put aside politics and gird your loins for the visceral "American Sniper" cinematic experience. You can still hate war after the credits roll, or run around cheering Chris Kyle as a "hero." No matter the subject, it is just a movie.
THE MOVIE HAS become an unusual cultural phenomenon in a matter of a week, with not a lot of buildup. Sad to say, the recent events in Paris probably put some fire under the $100-million-plus box office of "American Sniper." That success is a clear indication that PR discretion can work as well as over-the-top promotion. (Angelina Jolie's "Unbroken" has made a lot of money, but Jolie worked it as if she were an unknown entity. In the end, no significant Oscar nods.)
WE'RE SUPPOSED to be strenuously walking half an hour each day to extend our lives. And we know we want to extend our lives because what would all the fundraisers and awards ceremonies do without us?
The Theater Hall of Fame, for instance, celebrates its Broadway history on January 26 with Tony winner Jim Dale emceeing the induction of Susan Stroman, Blythe Danner, F. Murray Abraham, Alfred Uhry, Marshall W. Mason, Alvin Epstein, Philip J. Smith and the former Times' drama critic Frank Rich. They are joining the sacred list.
Producer of the whole shebang is Terry Hodge Taylor, who is always rounding up the VIPs of acting and stage and putting them together for their own good.
This event gives us a chance to see such luminaries as Cherry Jones, Bernadette Peters, Andre Bishop, Dana Ivey, Lynne Meadow, John Lee Beatty, Rocco Landesman and Brian Kulik as star "presenters." We can ask for their autographs.
It all happens in the Gershwin Theatre and benefits the New York Public Library for Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, the Dorothy Strelsin Theater Hall of Fame Collection of Memorabilia and Fellowship Grants for Emerging Theater Artists.
You probably don't care about all that. You'll be in it for seeing big stars and real talent and walking 50 feet across the street afterward to the Palm Restaurant where things will get rowdy! Call 212-307-1226 for info.
Getting around in New York at night, it's no small thing to know you can walk somewhere near Times Square and get out of the cold and/or rain, and have a drink real quick!
I'm going. Waiter, a dry martini, please!

This past Sunday I met up with Steph (my former coworker who is back in Japan!!) and we hit up some new spots in the city. It was such a chill afternoon filled with strong coffee, good food, and a cool breeze. The chill vibes were exactly what I needed.
First stop - AFURI. One of the best bowls of ramen you will get in Tokyo. The soup is yuzu (citrus) flavor and the thin noodles paired with the fatty pork is an insane combo. Afuri is the one bowl of ramen I will consume in it's entirety!! Literally...drinking every drip of soup! We also went to the OG AFURI shop in Ebisu which is just a narrow restaurant with about 20 seats lining the counter. You pay on a vending machine and hand your ticket to the chef.
After lunch we walked over to Daikanyama and then caught the train to Jiyugaoka...a suburb outside Shibuya. It's known as the little Italy of Tokyo...and lives up to it's name with tiny cozy streets and a lot of fancy bakeries. Steph showed me this dope coffee shop called ABC which had hand drip coffee in double layered clear mugs and a wooden patio out back...uhhh hello perfection.
From Jiyugaoka, we had to head back to Shibuya anyway...so we stopped by this new hotel that opened called HOTEL KOE. We had both seen photos of it on insta and wanted to check it out...and WOW. It was the definition of Tokyo chic.
There was a coffee shop/restaurant right in the main lobby...paired with a clothing store on the second floor and the hotel rooms upstairs. Tokyo is always pushing the envelope when it comes to hip, trendy things and this was no exception.
I love finding these pockets of inspiration in the big city. I is so nice to have Steph back in Tokyo (she'll be teaching at a University) and we picked up right where we left of...chillen out in the city!!
Also a few other random things...
-SPRING IS HERE!! Theres are only a few more cold days on the calendar before the warms comes for good...and everyone is stoked.
-Graduation is in two days! WOW. This year is going to be really special, since I've known these graduating seniors since they were 1st year students and I was the new teacher from the states. Bring on the tears!!
-I told myself i'd read at least one book a month this year (achievable goals, you know!) and I am proud to say I am on my 4th book. So far i've read...THE BOOK THIEF, THE SYMPATHIZER, THE HANDMAIDS TALE, and now i'm on to my next! Feels good to read again.
-I am currently listening to Kpop playlists on REPEAT and can't stop. The beats are just so catchy!

Promoting exercise and healthy living among children is a key focus in education programs across the country. At Mulford School, however, active play has been part of our curriculum for 45 years. But, for our students, outside playtime is also a learning time, and an opportunity to develop crucial gross motor skills.
Generally, by age 5, a child should be able to engage in a wide variety of activities, such as hopping up and down on one foot, catching a ball with two hands, and performing jumping jacks or even jumping rope. Playtime on the Mulford School playground helps reinforce these skills. Whether negotiating the rock climbing wall or riding one of the tricycles along our bike track, students develop a wide variety of gross motor skills such as:
- The basics: running, jumping, climbing and peddling
- Sports basics: kicking balls, throwing/catching
- Balance: Jumping from one spot to another, jumping over objects, and walking on a thin line
Mulford School created its playground with gross motor skill development in mind. Students have no shortage of activities to choose from among the multiple playground playsets, rock climbing wall, slides, sandbox, playhouses, swings and ladders. They also love to engage their imaginations on our playground's wooden train and decommissioned tractor. The school also features tricycles and a bike track, encouraging students to master the foot-peddling motion. And, when the weather keeps us indoors, we simply bring the playtime action into our large auditorium where teachers lead the students in special games and physical activities.
The best part about playground time at Mulford School? The students simply have fun. They have no idea that – as they swing, climb, run and laugh – they are also developing important gross motor skills.
The Mulford curriculum is rooted in the belief that a preschooler should be encouraged to take each and every activity they complete during the day as a learning experience. Playtime is no different. In addition to gross motor skill development, Mulford School playground time also includes opportunities to learn:
- Numbers: Opportunities to count and reinforce numbers skills, with games such as leaping across numbered tree stumps
- Social Skills: Exercising patience and camaraderie as students wait for swings and share toys
- Imagination: The playground environment fosters endless imaginative play
- Teambuilding: Soccer and hide-and-
seek are just two of the team activities you see happening on the playground
- Science: Quaintly situated under an arc of trees, children have a hands-on opportunity to engage with nature
- Responsibility: When the bell rings, it's time to clean-up, line-up and return to the classroom
Encourage gross motor skill development at home! Here are some fun activities to enjoy with your child:
- Create the Olympics: Tape rags onto the bottom of socks and hold a cross-country ski race across a smooth floor
- Obstacle Courses: Leap over toys, belly crawl under a table, and other activities can be lined up for a fun obstacle course
- Racing: A good, old fashioned race in the backyard teaches sportsmanship and stretches the legs!
Find out more about gross motor skill development and the Mulford School curriculum by contacting us.

In fact, I think some activists can be detrimental to the cause for which they are advocating. At some point, it all becomes white noise, or worse, it becomes flammable to the ears of everyone else. At its best, activism can enact societal change for the better over a long period of time; at its worst, it can become divisive to the point of an irreparable dislocation.
This past June, however, I found myself at a rally on the courthouse lawn in downtown Jackson. This rally was to bring attention to the family separation occurring on the southern border of our country. Before you stop reading, though, I want you to know that I'm not writing this article to tell you what I think or what I think you should think about this situation. I'm writing this article because this is where we all are right now in 2018. We are a country and a city that cares about the things that matter to us. We care about them so much that we write op-ed pieces in the paper. We comment on social media about political topics far more than any other topic. The Jackson Sun knows this. WBBJ knows this. We share articles that buttress our individual political beliefs. In some ways those pieces are reflective of who we are. In other ways, they are extensions of our egos. I'm guilty of that more often than not. Saturday, June 30 was time for me to attend my first rally and physically show up to support a cause that I had virtually been supporting for weeks.
I arrived a little late on my rented Zagster bike. (Side note: the city of Jackson has bicycle rental program at four separate locations. Check it out!) There were around thirty people gathered around the courthouse lawn. There was an individual in the middle of the crowd holding a bullhorn with a microphone attached to it. I recognized a few familiar faces and made my way to a friend of mine who was holding a sign. At that moment, I realized I hadn't made a sign. I was okay with that; I'm not great at slogans. I listened while a few people spoke. Some people had their remarks prepared ahead of time. Other people who spoke clearly did not. Before the speakers began, however, we were reminded that this was a peaceful rally and if anyone who disagreed with why we were there tried to instigate anything, we were not to respond. I wondered if anyone would actually instigate anything. Was that where we really were at this point?
About ten minutes into the rally, two men rode by on motorcycles and revved their engines loudly so that the speaker's voice was enveloped by the sound of the mufflers. Some people in the crowd glanced their way, but the speaker continued as if she didn't hear them at all. A few minutes later the same two men rode by and predictably revved their engines once again. This time, however, they had a one-finger salute for all of us.
As the rally progressed, I began to realize how partisan it seemed to be. I wasn't necessarily surprised by this, but I was a little disappointed. The reason I attended the rally was less about politics and more about humanity. I was disappointed that political candidates were stumping for votes and announcing the districts in which they were running. On the other hand, everything is politicized now, and family separation is most definitely a political issue. This is where we are. I reconciled all of these things in a matter of minutes as the rally concluded and we all were shoved together for a group picture. Instead of saying "cheese," we started a chant. I don't like chanting for anything, so I stood there and mumbled a few words. That picture ended up on the front page of the Jackson Sun's website: me standing there with my mouth closed, staring.
This rally was the fourth rally held downtown since early spring. These rallies are becoming a fabric of our community. There is a growing voice of support or dissent for leaders in national politics, and it's filtrating to local politics as well. Each person has the right to peacefully demonstrate their beliefs. Hopefully, those demonstrations do not speak ill of any person or group of people. The way we respond to one another is what will determine the way we all progress as a community with diverse beliefs.
I had a friend ask me recently if I ever thought I would change anyone's mind by what I post on social media. My answer was no. Her question also made me wonder why I even do it. It didn't take me long to answer that question: I do it because there are people who don't have a voice or don't have enough resources to share their voice.
As I was leaving the rally, I noticed a Hispanic family: a man, a woman, and their daughter. I knew the daughter; she was a student in my class this past school year. No matter what I personally thought about the way the rally was presented, I knew why I was there: I was there to support my beliefs and support people who may feel marginalized. I was there so that people like that eighth-grade girl knew that there were people who cared about what was happening to people like her. At that moment, politics were washed away, and humanity shone through.

About the Author
Kenny Jamieson grew up in Falkirk, Scotland. After graduating in Social Sciences from the University of Edinburgh he first applied his passion for anthropology in the fields of marketing and innovation. For twenty years he held various senior roles in the drinks industry, and in 2005 he founded his own consultancy specialising in the application of whole-brain thinking to the many challenges facing modern business and society. These roles sustained his endless curiosity about human nature and nurtured the creativity which kept both brain hemispheres fully exercised for two decades.
A World in Two Minds is his debut book and synthesises over thirty years of study and learning across anthropology, psychology, philosophy, neuroscience, sociology and behavioural economics. In it he makes sense of our man-made global chaos by explaining our current crisis in terms of the modus operandi of the human brain, revealing that our species has inadvertently made itself sick, and how we must change our thinking in order to heal and bring forth a positive future for all.
Away from work and writing, Kenny remains a keen follower of Falkirk Football Club and is passionate about reading, travelling, whisky, Scotland, and Harley Davidson motorcycles.

The demand for green data centers continues to soar across the nation, and many data centers are shifting to green operations. Fortune 500 companies, along with a myriad of local, state, and national governments, are not giving up their requirements for renewable power and energy. The outlook for green data centers in 2017 is still green.
Understanding Green Data Center Operations
According to industry experts, the following are some advantages of incorporating green options for optimal data center operations:
- Green options reduce monthly and recurring costs at data centers.
- Green data centers have a stronger emphasis on efficiencies per watt, as well as on dropping total power consumption.
- Green techniques enable centers to reduce the use of HVAC equipment, lowering the need for expensive electricity, water, and regular maintenance.
Despite these benefits, some basic economics for data center operations are still in place. No truer is this than when it comes to powering and cooling servers. However, green-based energies have been proven to lower traditional electrical and water bills as well.
Green Data Center Analytics and Data
Green data center practices are booming due to new analytics and operational efficiencies. Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) utilize predictive analysis to determine favorable outlooks for green-based technologies and energies. This movement is progressing despite many firms publicly shying away from the term "green."
The foundation of green data centers revolves around lower operational costs. However, evolving technologies for power and water usage have also played beneficial roles across the board. Still, the true differences between non-green and green data centers in years to come may entirely be based upon power sources. In fact, industry experts strongly believe that:
- Wind, hydro, solar, and geo-thermal energies will define what a green data center is – or is not.
- Along with "gold standard" renewable power, the overall architectural optimization of entire facilities will play major roles.
- Centers will push for free cooling techniques, while implementing technical tricks to correlate with low-cost and green-based measures.
What About Nuclear Power?
Even with the rise of green data centers, the fight over nuclear power continues. In fact, a number of facilities have no choice but to use carbon-free nuclear power in the short-term. However, expect the industry giants to adopt and implement renewable power usage.
From large wind farms to solar facilities, the big guys are already investing in multiple forms of renewable energy. Whether these new powers will become staples for Fortune 1000 companies, however, remains to be seen.

OUT OF THE SHADOWS - Making the Invisible, Visible through ART
a new body of work by Richmond Futch,Jr. 2018 ART EXHIBITION
An Illustration of Spirit
The concept of the work is to capture the spirit of our homeless culture using a palette and feeling inspired by each separate and distinct personality and individual backstory.
They all come from different backgrounds and journeys. One was an artist, another a theater director. Another a navy veteran, and yet another a Long Island socialite. They are all of us.
By illustrating our common humanity using color, texture and design to awaken the viewer to consider how alike we are despite their challenges of poverty, unemployment, drug addiction and mental illness we will create a powerful exhibition of their portraits. We hope to use the visual arts as a healing instrument and to acknowledge and uplift those that live in the shadows of our communities by making the invisible visible through art.

Justin Bieber Comes Out with Music Video for "All That Matters"by Hilton Hater at .
Ah, so this explains why Justin Bieber was carried up The Great Wall of China by his entourage last month.
He was exhausted from filming a music video at that famous structure all day!
Bieber has released the music video for his latest track, "All That Matters," and it features the young singer parading around this giant attraction in Asia. He also interacts with tourists, including an adorable baby.
Watch now:
Justin, of course, made headlines last week of the non-music variety, unfortunately.
He was involved in some kind of altercation at a South Korea nightclub and felt the wrath of Deadmau5 as a result. That DJ says Bieber needs to grow the eff up already.

2017 has demonstrated the havoc poor leadership can wreak on communities. The corruption of many an elected official, entertainment mogul, journalist, and religious scholar has been unveiled and all year long, I have ruminated on what leadership means. As always, I am compelled by the Quranic ethos of justice and mercy, in which the Prophetic model is rooted.
The Prophetic model of leadership may be known in modern parlance as servant-leadership. One of the most revealing examples showcasing the Prophetic character concerns a moment when he was sitting with the Angel Gabriel (AS), and commented that he had not eaten in several days. Immediately, another angel was sent to him, saying. "O Muhammad, Allah the Exalted has given you the choice to be a prophet-servant or a prophet-king." Upon conferring with the Angel Gabriel, God's Beloved said, "I would rather be a prophet-servant." [Hasan Hadith, according to al-Suyuti]
There are so many gems to be mined from this exchange, but here are three: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) believed that leaders must serve their community, not the other way around. Also, consultation with others is a critical aspect of leadership in the Prophetic tradition. Finally, the early Muslim community suffered greatly under an economic boycott and, later, military attacks. The Prophet (PBUH) suffered the same deprivation of food and necessities and still chose not to become a prophet-king such as Kings David or Solomon (AS), though he had been given the choice. Likewise, leaders who wish to follow the Prophetic model today should not expect a life of luxury that is denied to their followers.
"Indeed, God and His angels pronounce blessings upon the Prophet. O you who believe! Pray for God's blessings upon the Prophet, and salute him with a worthy salutation of peace!" Surat Al-Ahzab, Verse 56
I have gathered many of these songs and poems in previous years. You can see (and hear) the songs I've compiled in 2013, 2014, 2015, and 2016. If I have missed your favorites, please post a link in the comments. And now, let's dive right into Mawlid 2017! We start our journey in Africa:

Commonly referred to as careless driving, driving without due care and attention is legally defined as:
"allowing your standard of driving to fall below that of a prudent motorist".
This offence is often used as a "catch all" and can cover various driving errors, regardless of whether an accident occurs or not. The offence (if not resolved by way of a 3 point / £100 Fixed Penalty) carries:
A fine up to £5000;
3–9 penalty points; or
A discretionary disqualification.
9 penalty points or an instant driving ban. If a ban is imposed, the Court will not endorse your licence with points. Additionally, conviction will lead to a means tested fine that is typically £200–£800 but subject to a theoretical maximum of £5,000. In extreme cases, community service/curfew orders can be imposed.
There is no legal definition of a prudent motorist so this is for the Court to decide, taking into account the exact circumstances of the actual offence. As a general rule, if a driver accepts that he has done anything wrong, the Court can conclude that the standard of motoring fell below that of a prudent motorist. If an accident has occurred, the party responsible would often be convicted of driving without due care.
Some Police forces will offer a "driver improvement scheme" instead of issuing a Summons/Requisition. If you agree to sign up to the scheme and attend a seminar, no further action will be taken, which means you would not receive penalty points. The option to offer the scheme is at the discretion of and administered by the Police. It will not be an option if the case is referred to Court.
Yes. As your licence will be revoked if you reach 6 points for any offence committed within the first 2 years of holding a full licence, a conviction of careless driving could result in immediate revocation of your driving licence. This issue must be addressed, even if you plead guilty by letter, as 6 points would mean having to apply for a new provisional licence and passing both theory and practical tests again.
If you concede that you are at least partially to blame for an incident, it follows that you will be convicted and in those circumstances the penalty will be reduced if you plead guilty at the first opportunity. A letter of mitigation will still allow you to explain why you deserve a penalty to the lower end of the scale so it is important that any letter produced to the Court deals with those issues clearly. If you need a letter prepared for you, please use our Letter of Mitigation Service.
It is at the discretion of the Police whether they bring charges against any individual. Having elected to prosecute you, they will be relying on the co–operation of the other driver to secure a conviction. For this reason, no action is taken against the other party, regardless of your views on liability.

Well, I'm still having trouble crystallizing thoughts into text. I've made some progress on the bigger posts I had planned, but I'm kind of at a standstill, so I think I may as well start things off on a side road.
This will be the first of a few posts covering some experiences I've had while translating. They are partly intended as advice, partly as explanation… I don't know, I'm not sure if I've even been through enough for my writing to be of any help, but I've personally found it useful at times to read other people's accounts of things, so who knows. Guess I'll toss my thoughts into the world and see what happens.
Appropriately, that's how today's tale begins: with someone else's blogpost.
One day in 2012, I got a message from AzureDark of AnimeLyrics, saying that he'd translated "Katen" from the eroge Kurai Mirai 3; he thought it might interest me, since I'd previously translated the opening themes for 1 and 2. I checked it out and saw a pretty interesting comment in the release notes:
The stickler point was the first verse, "from whose viewpoint is this spoken from?" The 3rd line from the 1st stanza mentions "trivial things", which would mean the first two lines are actually unmarked direct quotes. Occasionally they throw off the translator because without the quotation marks, the focus would not shift to a different subject and make its meaning confusing.
At the time, I'd had the short version of the song transliterated (I couldn't find an official lyrics source for the full version), with preliminary translation for a few lines. I thought the comment over for a moment, and I realized that I probably wouldn't have understood that. To be honest, when I first attempted to play those games, my Japanese was definitely not good enough to fully understand, and there were times when I used the skip button more than I should have, so of course I wouldn't have picked up on that theme.
Satisfied that my own attempt on the song was no longer necessary, I shelved the file. Still, the idea of unmarked direct quotes was of great interest. While I knew that I'd definitely encountered them before at the time, I'd never considered it thoroughly as a concept. Naturally, I asked myself – where have I seen this before?
By now, I don't remember exactly how soon it happened – it might have been immediate, or it might have taken a good while to register – but at some point, I remembered a certain song – "Alchemy" from Angel Beats!.
無限に生きたい 無限に生きられたら 全て叶う
生きる残り時間 夢の座標 行方
Original TL – April 22, 2010:
I want to live forever. If I could live forever, everything would come true,
But various things drive me into a corner.
The time I have left to live, the coordinates of my dream, the place where I am –
They're all important things.
All right, let's stay here for a little and eat something sweet.
Just pausing my thinking like that became my pride.
Edited soon after – April 24, 2010:
All right, let's stay here for a little and eat something sweet.
When I just stopped thinking like that, I became proud.
Both of those versions are pretty iffy. They don't really make sense as something that Iwasawa might sing; I failed to consider the big picture. I did notice that the last line of that verse was referencing the previous line as a phrase, but I probably didn't understand it.
In actuality, the fundamental problem was not difficulty with unmarked quotes – it was that I didn't grasp the usage of 得意 (tokui), further complicated by confusion with 思考停止 (shikou teishi), which is evident in the second version.
They're all important things, but still…
"All right, let's stay here for a little and eat something sweet."
I only got good at turning off my brain like that.
There, much better. After repeated listening and turning the verse over in my head, I eventually saw the big picture – the mental trap of taking the easier road, and the wish to turn her creations into gold. Accordingly, I made edits to that problematic line and the two preceding it. I added in "but still…" to reflect なのに, which I'd omitted in the first few versions; the phrase is often problematic for English flow, so I believe dropping it is sometimes the right decision, but this time I added it in to clarify that the mental stoppage of the latter half of the verse is in direct opposition to the important things in the first half. I added quotation marks to the second-to-last line to make things even clearer, and finally I fixed that last line for correct handling of 得意 (whose usage I'd learned from just listening to spoken Japanese in anime/games) and 思考停止 (now recognizable as a single concept due to better understanding of the song as a whole).
It's been revised a few times since I made the realization, but basically, the first version I had that interpreted the line in that way was edited in on June 5, 2013 – half a year after Azu's post. Even now, two years after the fact, I still remember that it happened and that I noticed it because Azu's post about a completely unrelated song triggered my memory. Looking back, it's a pretty embarrassing mistake; while I could maybe make a weak justification for how the original renderings are not that bad, the fact is that I didn't know word details that I know now, and 'proud' for that usage of 得意 is something that just makes me sad now. (Then again, turns out that at least two other translators made very similar mistakes, so maybe I'm just understating the difficulty of the song? Possible, considering it's Jun Maeda. Or maybe we all just didn't know enough…)
So, things I learned about lyrics translation from this:
–Keep tabs on what other people are doing. You never know where you'll find things that teach you things you never knew you never knew. Even confirming that you did something right is helpful; finding something that lets you fix a mistake is even better.
–Be thoroughly familiar with what you've worked on. Remember things that you've struggled with so that you can solidify understanding over time when reminders appear.
–Consider the big picture.
–Complacency is the enemy.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- U.S. technology issues PSE, -0.11% fell sharply for a second day Thursday, dragged lower by impeachment talk and ailing satellite stocks.
After the bell, software maker Adobe Systems (ADBE) ADBE, -1.27% reported fiscal third-quarter earnings of 37 cents a share, compared with the 35-cent estimate of analysts surveyed by First Call.
The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index SOX, +0.34% fell 3.3 percent, while the Amex Networking Index $nwx lost 1.7 percent, the Goldman Sachs Computer Hardware Index $gha fell 2.6 percent, and the CBOE Software Index $cwx lost 2.1 percent.
The broader Pacific Stock Exchange Technology Index PSE, -0.11% fell 1.7 percent, and the Morgan Stanley Technology Index $msh of big-cap tech issues shed 1.8 percent.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.09% plunged 249 to 7615. The Nasdaq Composite Index $compq , which contains many technology stocks, fell 39 to 1585.
The steep drop caused concern among investors that more declines lie ahead. Some analysts also were worried that tech stocks as a group are still expensive, given their sliding profits.
"We're in the final stages of denial," said Bill Meehan, chief market analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald. "Even if nothing happens in Washington, or Brazil, or Mexico, or Canada, we still have a valuation problem," he said.
James Meyer, head of equity at Philadelphia-based Janney Montgomery Scott, said there are indeed computer-related stocks, such as Dell Computer and Cisco Systems, that may be trading at unnecessarily lofty multiples. But he said investors have to consider the "scarcity value" of such industry leaders. "How many companies in this economy could grow 30 percent a year?" he asked. "And if the economy gets tough, how many could still be growing 30 percent a year?"
Meyer said the place to look among tech issues is the semiconductor equipment group, which he says contains "good, solid companies" that have "fallen below book value." Meyer's favorite stock in the segment is Kulicke & Soffa (KLIC) KLIC, +2.57% .
Globalstar rocket mishap hurts partners
Globalstar Telecommunications (GSTRF) gstrf said it lost 12 satellites after a rocket malfunctioned during a launch in Kazakhstan, setting back its plan to offer worldwide wireless service by mid-1999. The news dragged down the shares of its partners.
Globalstar's stock dropped 7 1/8 to 10 3/4 -- a 40 percent loss. Shares in its 42 percent owner, Loral Space and Communications (LOR) LOR, +0.43% , also fell, losing 5 1/16, or 28 percent, to 13. And Qualcomm (QCOM) QCOM, +0.95% , another big stakeholder, lost 5 to 44 1/2. (See full story.)
"It's a significant setback," said Ian Toll, an analyst at BT Alex. Brown who follows Qualcomm. "We haven't ascertained exactly what the financial impact will be."
Those losses helped to drag the whole telecommunications sector lower. The Nasdaq telecom index, for instance, was down 4.2 percent.
The failure comes a day after Globalstar rival Iridium (IRIDF) iridf said it will delay the start of service on its satellite wireless network because of software and technical problems.
Net stocks
America Online (AOL) AOL, -1.75% fell 5/16 to 93 15/16, while online book retailer Amazon.com (AMZN) AMZN, +0.57% dropped 4 7/8 to 79 5/8, Yahoo! (YHOO) yhoo slipped 1/8 to 79 7/8, DoubleClick (DCLK) dclk fell 1 7/8 to 21 3/4, Inktomi (INKT) inkt fell 7/8 to 62 7/8, and Broadcast.com (BCST) bcst lost 2 1/2 to 38 3/4.
Infoseek (SEEK) SEEK, -99.00% rose 1 13/16 to 20 7/8 after it said it will provide search and directory services for Microsoft Corp.'s WebTV Networks Inc. as part of a plan to expand its presence through interactive television. (See related story.)
As part of the two-year agreement, Infoseek will be the exclusive provider of search and directory services for WebTV, Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) MSFT, -0.51% unit that makes software to integrate television with the Internet.
Shares of Intel Corp. (INTC) INTC, -1.12% fell 2 3/16 to 79 1/16 but gained in after-hours trading when the company announced that third-quarter earnings would be better than previously expected.
National Semiconductor (NSM) NSM, +0.00% posted a first-quarter net loss of $104.8 million, or 63 cents per share, beating First Call's revised first-quarter consensus estimate of a loss of 65 cents a share. The shares slipped 5/16 to 8 15/16. (See full story.)
Among chip manufacturing equipment makers, Lam Research (LRCX) LRCX, +0.57% lost5/16 to 11 13/16.
Networkers and computer makers
Meanwhile, shares of 3Com (COMS) coms rose 1 15/16 to 27 5/16, while those of rival Cisco Systems (CSCO) CSCO, +0.51% fell 2 3/8 to 88 7/16. Xylan (XYLN) xyln shares rose 1/8 to 15 7/8. Hewlett-Packard (HWP) hwp fell 3 1/16 to 49 5/8, Compaq (CPQ) ccpq rose 7/16 to 31 13/16, and Apple (AAPL) AAPL, +0.39% added 3/4 to 38 1/8.
Dell (DELL) DELL, -0.34% , a favorite of technology investors, fell 2 3/8 to 54 3/4 in heavy volume of 27.5 million shares. Dell's stock, which split after last week's trading, is finally seeing some weakness.
"This stock's done well," said Kurt King, an analyst at NationsBanc Montgomery Securities. "When you're a high-flying big-cap stock, [at some point] you wind up paying the piper."

This lovely house is now for sale, its got a huge back garden perfect for a pet or a game of rugby with the family, this house is an entertainers dream as the kitchen opens straight onto an outdoor braai area. The main bedroom has its own bathroom as well as a private patio, the second and third bedrooms share a bathroom and both open on to the back garden patio and front patio respectively. As you enter the house you go straight into the living room and beyond that you will find the open, airy kitchen dining room.
The inspiration for the Clifton Road row houses came from South African Karoo roots mainly Graaff-Reinet (Parsonage Street – De Kothuise) and Cradock (Mark Street – Tuishuise).
The intention is to celebrate a truly South African style of architecture. Although much has been done to ensure the form of the houses, the functional aspects were fully considered specifically to ensure sufficient solar gain and insulation. The dwellings living spaces are linked to a north facing aspect which permits both light and warmth throughout the house. For the cold nights, tile underfloor heating is efficiently captured by triple insulation in all ceilings. All floors have polystyrene insulation under them and all walls are void walls with polystyrene insulation between the skins.
Double glazing on the weather side of the house protects against the cold fronts and storms, while the laminated glass on the northern side ensures solar thermal gain. The geysers are solar connection compatible, although no collectors are sold with the house. The Karoo style double combustion fire place provides an efficient and authentic source of warmth for winter nights.
The house is situated on a secondary road and has access off an inter-block lane which lends itself to privacy as well as easy access to the rest of the estate and a wonderful walking environment.
The bedrooms are large and all have built-in-cupboards. The main bedroom has a Victorian style bath en suite and private patio whilst the two bedrooms share a large full bathroom and both open onto a back garden patio and front garden patio respectively.
As you enter the house you go straight into the living room and beyond that you will find the open well-appointed kitchen/dining room. Clever use of internal doors provide options for entertaining and daily living.
It has a huge back garden perfect for a pet or for a game of rugby with the family. This house is an entertainers dream as the kitchen opens straight out onto the outdoor braai area. A professionally landscaped garden is already established.

MADRID (AP) — Spanish club Leganes has hired Argentine coach Mauricio Pellegrino on a one-year deal.
Pellegrino replaces Asier Garitano, who was hired by Real Sociedad last week.
Pellegrino was fired by Premier League team Southampton in March after a run of just one win in 17 games.
He had previously coached Spanish club Alaves, leading it to the Copa del Rey final in 2017. He also coached Valencia, Estudiantes and Independiente.
Leganes was promoted to Spain's first division for the first time in 2016. It has finished 17th in each of its two seasons in the top tier.

If it had been up to Malin Akerman, she would have gotten married in the wedding gown she wore in "27 Dresses."
The actress was engaged while she was filming the 2008 romantic comedy and a wedding disaster struck. Akerman told the story during a recent episode of PeopleTV's "Couch Surfing," a show that has actors watch and react to their work. When "27 Dresses" came up, Akerman revealed her own wedding woes.
As she explained, she'd ordered a custom gown, only to find out that it didn't fit. With just two days to work with, she was lucky enough to be "sent ... into New York to get a dress," she said. Akerman actually hoped she could just wear the dress that had been selected for her character, Tess, but that unfortunately didn't work. Still, she did end up with "a good one."
"I literally just picked one that fit, and then I was off to my wedding," she said.
Akerman recounted other surprising stories from her career during "Couch Surfing," as well, including the time she accidentally hurt a "Watchman" stuntman during a fight sequence, how she was "crying with laughter" while acting opposite Paul Rudd, what makes "Rampage" so good, and more.
It sounds like there are tons of stories between every scene, and even every outfit.
Perennial bridesmaid Jane (Katherine Heigl) always puts the needs of others before her own, making her the go-to gal whenever someone needs help with wedding plans. So when Jane's younger sister Tess (Malin Akerman) snags the man (Edward Burns) Jane secretly loves, Jane finds herself questioning her role as a wedding junkie for the first time in her life. Meanwhile, a handsome reporter (James Marsden) sees Jane's unusual story as his ticket off the bridal beat. Read More

Former FBI agents have a message for Hollywood: J. Edgar Hoover wasn't gay…not that there's anything wrong with that.
Their concerns arise out of the portrayal of Hoover in the forthcoming movie J. Edgar staring Leonardo DiCaprio. Director Clint Eastwood says the film is "not a movie about two gay guys. It's a movie about how this guy manipulated everybody around him and managed to stay on through nine presidents. I mean, I don't give a crap if he was gay or not."But as USA Today reported, groups of former agents "have campaigned forcefully against any depiction of the long-rumored sexual relationship between Hoover and former top aide Clyde Tolson."
"There is no basis in fact for such a portrayal of Mr. Hoover," William Branon, chairman of The J. Edgar Hoover Foundation, wrote in a letter to Eastwood. "It would be a grave injustice and monumental distortion to proceed with such a depiction based on a completely unfounded and spurious assertion."
William Baker, a former agent and J. Edgar Hoover foundation vice president, told USA Today that they were concerned about historical accuracy.
"We're caught in a dilemma here," Baker said. "We don't want to support something not based in fact, but we're not against the new FBI and diverse workplace."
But gay rights advocates are wondering why the portrayal of Hoover as gay would get people so worked up.
"I don't know specifically why current officers object to the claim that Hoover was gay," Jacob Appel, a New York-based lawyer that has written and advocated for gay and lesbian rights, told TickleTheWire.com. "If their concern is solely for historical accuracy, and they don't feel there is evidence to support that claim, then that's certainly a reasonable position."
"On the other hand, if these individuals actually believe that being gay would somehow tarnish Hoover's image — and I sincerely hope that no one in the FBI holds such deeply misguided views today — then their positions would reflect the sort of bigotry and ignorance that have no place in civilized society," Appel said.
Rod Hearne, the Executive Director of the Seattle-based Equal Rights Washington, told Tickle The Wire that it's "hard to imagine that two such powerful, unmarried, near-constant companions as J Edgar Hoover and Clyde Tolson would be seen as anything but gay."
Besides, people shouldn't be so worried about Hoover's sexuality, it's the other things he did to be worried about, Hearne said.
"If the FBI and J Edgar Hoover's friends and associates resist the notion that the blackmailing, extorting, empire-building, racist, homophobic man was gay, fine, whatever they wish to think," Hearne said. "The straights can have him."

Funny License Plates #217-222 – Be Who You Are Edition
Tired of only seeing sexual innuendo on funny license plates? How about something a tad more substantial. How about being creative about your ride's make or model. It's always been said, "If you can't laugh at yourself, then who can you laugh at?" Enjoy these car owners poking fun at their own rides!
Be who you are. After all, if Dr. Seuss said it…it has to be true. : "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind."
— Dr. Seuss
We all enjoy pointing out those zippy little car with the crystalized lights, chrome, spinning rims and larger than life spoilers. This car owner owns up to owning a rice rocket with his "Got Rice" license plate.
Plain and simple. He drives a Dodge Ram. The Dodge Ram is Red. = Red Ramm!
It's a Scion. It's boxy. 'Nough said.
It's either "Our Go Kart" or the R is for 'red' and it reads "Read Go Kart." Either way, this car owner pokes fun at the size of their Mini Cooper!
This VW Bug is a toy car indeed; my mom has a little pull-and-release key chain with this exact toy car on it.

How To Update Activity / Task Name With Subject & Call Outcome (picklist) in Salesforce?
Quit sure we have come across the requirement of - Can the subject line has the name, combined with a picklist value and a date? So it's easier to see the summarised information on the page layout without clicking on the related Activity/Task records?
And consultants answers is - Yes. Sure we can.
The solution is easy on the outside, but sometimes to build it requires some about of work. The trickiest part is when we need to concatenate an information in the field from multiple fields like texts and picklist values. Salesforce itself is not a big fan of allowing us to use picklists in formula fields.
In a scenario below I have demonstrated how to combine Tasks Subject fields (Text) and Call Outcome (picklist) values into one field on a 'Log A Call' record 'Save'.
First thing, we need to create a new Text field in Salesforce that will be populated with Call Outcome picklist value so we can use this field further in a Process Builder to update Tasks Name.
1. Go to Setup --> Activities --> Activity Custom Fields
2. Click New button
3. Select Text option and click 'Next'
4. Name your field the same as your picklist + add "text" to make sure you can distinguish these fields later on
5. Next, go through the security steps and 'Save'
6. Now we can start with the messy part. Process Builder. In order to update Activity Name we need to use a Process Builder that will pull values from two fields and paste them into one.
7. To create this Process Builder please go to Setup --> Workflow & Approvals --> Process Builder
8. You will be taken to Process Builder building sweat. Press on 'New' in the right top corner.
9. Name your Process builder, provide Description and select The process starts when A record Changes option and click 'Save'.
10. The fun can start. Select an obbect you want this Name field update to happen.
11. After you select an object, we need to specify an action that triggers this Name field update. In our case it is every time Call Outcome picklist value is selected and Saved.
12. Next - what needs to happen? - We need to populate our Call Outcome TEXT field with the value from Call Outcome picklist.
13.Next we need to set the criteria before we perform field update/pre-population.
14. When records meet the criteria we can now update the field with a Name that equals the combination of two fields - Task Name & Call Outcome.
15. When all is set. Save your Process Builder and Activate it!

Tree Line by Steve Krogh
I was pretty much a city boy, and growing up in a military officer's home, I lived in places such as Whidbey Island, Norfolk, Alameda and San Diego. But now, as a new seminary grad, my wife, Lois, and I were in our first church, and I was becoming acquainted with things like pheasant hunting, calf pulling and almond harvesting. To tell you the truth, at the time, I couldn't tell a pistachio orchard from a walnut orchard from a prune orchard from an almond orchard.
But all that was about to change and, as it did, I learned something very important about the Christian life.
Every time I hurtled down orchard-lined Highway 32 between Orland and Chico in Northern California, I noticed a curious brown line on each tree trunk and would wonder why the trees had those dark lines. The best answer I came up with was, "there must have been a flood here at one time and it discolored the bark on the lower part of the trees." Wrong.
When I shared my hypothesis with a rancher friend of mine, he laughed out loud and called out to his wife, "Margie, come hear what our pastor just said." I knew I was about to get a lesson in Agriculture 101. I did.
That mysterious "line" was really the demarcation between two different types of walnuts grafted together to make one tree. The Paradox walnut is used for the root stock, as it has the best root system for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil. The Chandler walnut is used for the scion, the shoot grafted into the root stock when the tree is still young, as it is superior for bearing nuts on its branches.
Clever these ranchers are, getting the best of all possible worlds.
One day I knelt in the dirt on a cherry orchard and watched an arborist carefully grafting some trees. He made a slit in the root stock with the sharp blade of his knife, cutting at an angle through the outer bark into the heart of the young tree. Then with a flick of his wrist he made a similar cut in the scion. He carefully joined the two exposed flaps of the root stock and scion, added some gluey pitch and wrapped them in tape. It was all done in less than one minute. On to the next tree.
"That will never work," I muttered to myself. "Two pieces of wood held together by glue and tape?" But it did. A few years later, I stood in that same orchard as my friend Bob watched truckloads of his cherries head down Interstate 5 to the Stockton shipyards. Those cherries, the first to ripen in the United States, fetched an amazing price when they landed in Japan within 24 hours.
Grafting: "a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together." Defined by Wikipedia. Invented by God. Used by ranchers world-wide.
Three lessons. First, security. If you are a Christian, God has grafted you into Jesus Christ. Through the miracle of repentance and faith, a small slit was cut into your soul and you were joined to Jesus in a living union. His life is now in us. We are "hidden with Christ in God," (Colossians 3:3) "joined to the Lord" so that we are "one spirit with him." (1 Corinthians 6:17) Because we are "in Christ" (the Apostle Paul's favorite description for believers), "neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 8:38, 39) We are secure, knowing that in the right hands, grafting works.
Second, expectancy. Farmers expect their grafted trees to produce fruit. So should we. "If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you. Abide in my love." (John 15:7-9) We are expectant, knowing that as we live in trusting, loving dependence on Jesus, we will bear fruit.
Third, humility. God in his mercy has joined us, Gentiles, into the rootstock of his covenant promises to Abraham. That should keep all of us humble. "But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. . . .They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand fast through faith. So do not become proud, but fear." (Romans 11:17, 18, 20) We are humble, recognizing that God in his mercy has included us in something way beyond what we deserve.
A few weeks ago, I returned to visit friends in Northern California. Traveling down Highway 32 brought back many memories. But when I drove past that old familiar walnut orchard and saw the familiar lines on the trees, I wasn't wondering if an imaginary flood had made the lines.
Instead, I prayed, "Thank you, Father, for grafting me into your Son"—my heart filled with security, expectancy and humility.

"As physicians we are trained to shut off inflammation with aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication such as Advil or Motrin, steroids and increasingly more powerful immune suppressing medication with serious side effects. But we are not trained to find and treat the underlying causes of inflammation in chronic disease."
Yarama bastin Dr. Hyman!
"If you want to cool off inflammation in the body, you must find the source. Treat the fire, not the smoke. In medicine we are mostly taught to diagnose disease by symptoms, NOT by their underlying cause. Functional medicine, the emerging 21st paradigm of systems medicine teaches us to treat the cause, not only the symptoms, to ask the question WHY are you sick, not only WHAT disease do you have."
"Medicine as it is practiced today is like taking the battery out of a smoke detector while a fire burns down your house!"

Holmes Report Global Summit
I've been at the Holmes Report Global Summit this week ... an amazing conference where Communications professionals from all over the world gather to talk about how to advance our craft.
It's been a great experience networking, sharing, and learning. That's what these things are for! And every time I make new friends that make the industry, well, a nicer and more friendly place, which means a lot to me.
And I also see and hear a lot that stretches my mind, which is also the point. Thought I'd share a couple of nuggets here.
Brand as a Verb. The notion that a brand as a "noun" is basically dead. A brand is no longer a "thing" that consumers merely just buy. Brands should be a verb. Brands should be all about action ... engaging, sharing, discussing ... all verbs. It's an interesting notion to think about branding this way, and I kind of like it. It forces us to think about our brands as being much more action oriented.
We need to be more confident. During Martin Sorrell's discussion with my CEO Donna Imperato, he encouraged all of us to be more proactive and more aggressive when it comes to advancing integrated marketing and adding more value to our clients' brands. I'm summing up a lot of what he said, but basically he said we come to the table ready to take action and push our clients' business ahead. I guess we should be verbs too!
UN Women Campaign. During one of the panel discussions on creativity, the participants showcased some really cool global campaigns. There's nothing more inspiring to me than dissecting good creative and strategic messaging. One campaign featured really struck me ... the UN Women campaign, which highlights the need to continue to fight for women's rights around the world. It's shocking that we even have to continue the dialogue at this point in our human evolution. I did a little digging and realized that the campaign extends beyond just women's rights, to include anyone/everyone fighting adversity. Hopefully campaigns like this one help the cause.
While I know many worry about the cost and time, conferences are such a great investment ... the networking and sharing of information is invaluable as we each build our careers and our businesses. Thanks to everyone at the Holmes Report for a great week! It was all very inspiring!
What's your experience? Jim.
