BRUSSELS, March 6 (Reuters) - Ryanair is in early discussions with Airbus about a potential future order for some 100 A321 aircraft for its recently acquired subsidiary Laudamotion, but for now the company is focusing on leased older aircraft, Chief Executive Michael O'Leary said on Wednesday.
The Irish budget carrier is also interested in the latest Boeing narrow-body model - the 737 MAX 10 - for its all-Boeing main fleet "at the right price" but those conditions do not exist currently, O'Leary told Reuters in an interview.
Any future order of Airbus A321s for Austrian unit Laudamotion would most likely "not include fewer than 100 aircraft" including 50 firm orders and 50 options, O'Leary said on the sidelines of an airlines conference in Brussels. (Reporting by Tim Hepher; editing by Jason Neely)

Dan, Stan and Michael spent the morning Kayak Fishing around Red Bud Island in Lady Bird Lake.
Dan, his son and Paul are at LCRA South Shore in Bastrop, TX once again. Camping, Kayak Fishing, Hiking and Boating are all on the agenda.
Little man was excited to go fishing but getting ready to go proved to be taking too long for him.
The 2011 and 2012 droughts have really pushed down the water levels in our lakes. Here at the LCRA Narrows Recreation Area, the Narrows are a lot narrower. Dan, his son and Michael are doing some cat fishing in an area that is normally 30 ft under water.
Colorado Bend TAO Trip, June 2012
TAO Adventures to Colorado Bend State Park near Lampasas, Texas.
We were very sad to see the water this low at Lake Texana State Park. No fishing happened on this trip.
Dan, his son and Michael are kayak fishing around Lady Bird Lake this afternoon. Not many fish were caught, but we sure did have a great time!
Once again Dan, Danny and Chris are out on the water. This time they are Kayak fishing and Hammock Camping at LCRA Shaffer Bend Recreation Area.
Dan and his family are at Garner State Park once again! Camping, caving, hiking, fishing, paddle boating and swimming! Garner SP has it all!
Kayak Fishing at Lake Bastrop
Dan and Michael spent the morning fishing the coves on the North Eastern part of Lake Bastrop in Bastrop, TX.
Who is TAO?
We are John, Ken, Dan, Frank, and Nick. A regular group of camping buddies who love to adventure in and around the great state of Texas.

DENVER -- County singer Blake Shelton announced he'll be performing at the Grizzly Rose on Thursday night -- and it's free.
"I haven't been to the grizzly rose in years... This will be epic," Shelton tweeted Thursday morning.
People started lining up outside the Grizzly Rose less than an hour after Shelton announced the free show on Twitter.
On Wednesday night, Shelton performed a free concert at Whiskey Tangos in Kansas City, Mo.
Shelton posted a time-lapse video of the line to get in the door.
Later, Shelton tweeted that he had so much fun that he was going to do it again the next night. He said he was heading somewhere about 10 hours away, then posted a very ambiguous photo of the highway.
On Tuesday, Shelton tweeted, "I have the day off and a map of the United States in front of me. Where should I go?"
A fan asked, "Are you doing a free concert again?"
"Well I was just thinking of going somewhere but hell I guess I could," Shelton responded.
Later he tweeted, "Ok.. I got the band together. They're ready.. Now where too?!!"

Trinity-Coppell game to be televised live
Don't have a ticket to Euless Trinity vs. Coppell?
Don't worry. You can still watch it.
KTXA/Channel 21 announced Thursday that it will air the game live at 7:30 p.m. Friday. The matchup of undefeated high school football powers is expected to draw an overflow crowd to 12,000-seat Dragon Stadium in Southlake.
Live broadcasts of Friday night football games are prohibited by UIL rules unless the game sells out 48 hours before kickoff, KTXA communications director Lori Conrad said.
"We were hoping for a sellout, certainly. But we were prepared to tape-delay it, if necessary," she said.
LaDarrin McLane and Doug Anderson will call the game, with Joe Gumm reporting on the sideline.
Defending state champion Trinity (13-0) is No. 1 in four national rankings, plus the Associated Press Texas 5A poll. Coppell (13-0) has its winningest team ever and is No. 5 in the state poll and No. 28 on ESPN's national list.
The teams have not played since 2005, when Trinity won 34-0 in a regular-season game.The winner advances to the 5A Division I state semifinals next week against Round Rock Stony Point or DeSoto. KTXA will air Saturday's Story Point-DeSoto on tape-delay Saturday at midnight.
Trinity has won the 5A Division I championship three times in five seasons. This will be the fourth live TV broadcast of the season for Trinity. The others were on Thursday or Labor Day, which is allowed by the UIL.

SpringCM delivers comprehensive solution to help Salesforce customers centralize their documents in the cloud and migrate from disparate and legacy content tools
CHICAGO – Sept. 29, 2016 – SpringCM, a leading document and sales contract management solution for Salesforce customers, today announced G|1 Docs – the one cloud document management solution Salesforce customers need to generate, edit, share, approve and track files across teams and organizations. G|1 Docs complements Salesforce's strengths as the standard for customer data, providing an enterprise-class solution to store, share, and work with any type of business document within the Salesforce environment.G|1 Docs combines all the benefits of a centralized, searchable repository with rich document and content management functionality, including:
"G1 Docs bridges the gap between sales data and documents for Salesforce customers, accelerating revenue cycles with an end-to-end process," said Antonis Papatsaras, Chief Technology Officer of SpringCM. "By bringing everything together with our native integration to Salesforce, organizations can go further, connecting Salesforce Einstein insights with SpringCM's Intelligent Platform utilizing, machine learning and natural language processing to connect the dots in business processes for even more powerful results."
Beyond Document Sharing, Point Solutions and SharePoint
More than 150,000 companies use Salesforce as their standard for managing customer data. But when it comes to business files, many are experiencing "app fatigue," struggling to manage complex processes with a disconnected mix of point solutions while critical documents are stored in a silo of content solutions. These companies can benefit from moving to a standard for business documents, unifying their cloud document repositories, such as Box and Dropbox, and legacy Enterprise Content Management systems, such as SharePoint, Documentum and FileNet.
SpringCM developed G|1 Docs because Salesforce customers want to ensure users can put relevant documents to work for the right people at the right time to generate the right results. Salesforce customers need a single document management solution with strong integration to Salesforce objects, far more than simply connecting a document repository through an API. And they need that system to minimize risk and adapt to evolving regulatory mandates that require greater transparency on how documents are created, reviewed, approved and shared both inside and outside an organization.
"SpringCM has the unique ability to address a key gap in cloud content services by combining document generation, document management and document workflow in a single solution that is specifically designed for Salesforce customers," said Greg Buchholz, CEO of SpringCM. "It's just far too difficult to expect employees to engage with a tangle of workflow widgets, document portals and development tools, and it's too hard for companies to make it all work together. G|1 Docs is the one solution from a single provider enterprises need to move their organizations forward."
About SpringCM
SpringCM is a secure cloud platform that optimizes the generation, workflow, and archiving of mission-critical business documents across an organization. SpringCM manages contracts and all types of documents seamlessly across desktop, mobile and partner applications like Salesforce. Its suite of workflow automation tools eliminate manual and repetitive tasks and includes: document management, which increases productivity by streamlining and automating the document management process; sales contract lifecycle management (CLM), which accelerates revenue and productivity by streamlining the contract management process; and sales content management, which manages all documents associated with the sales cycle from a central repository, providing a holistic view of customer relationships and enabling users to respond quickly and accurate to stakeholder needs. Every day, more than 600 companies use SpringCM to improve the customer experience and get more done, faster.

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Nokia bucked the market trend Monday, climbing more than 12 percent while the major indexes lost as much as 7 percent.
Nokia's stock NOK, +2.75% advanced 12.3 percent, or $1.69, to 15.44.
"Investors are looking for an opportunity to buy in the wireless space, particularly in handsets, and Nokia is the logical choice," said J.P. Mark of Wells Fargo Van Kasper. "It has almost a 40 percent global market share, and 70 percent of Nokia's business is handset-related."
Marks added that Nokia benefited from the belief that last week's terror attacks highlighted for Americans the need for mobile telephones.
"People have come to the realization that they're going to need a handset," said Marks. "One way or another it is a security device."
The company also surprised investors and analysts last Tuesday by proving its strength in the North American market, Mark said. In a mid-quarter update, the mobile phone maker reported it will meet per share earnings estimates of 13 cents for the September quarter, said Mark.
"There was some speculation on the Street that they were going to miss the third quarter estimates by some horrendous amount," said Marks. "That turned out not to be true, and so that certainly helped."
Shares of Motorola MOT and Ericsson ERICY did not rise with Nokia, whose business is weighted more heavily to mobile phone manufacturing. Motorola shares lost 1.7 percent to $14.78, while Ericsson dropped 8.9 percent to $3.59.

Along with love, death and heartbreak, the concept of age has spawned countless well-known sayings.
"Age is just a number", "act your age, not your shoe size", and, "a man is only as old as the woman he feels"(we assume this also applies vice versa).
Age gaps in relationships are fascinating to many of us. Whether we're mystified, horrified or in the "good on you!" camp, a dramatic difference in age piques our interest.
Because according to a recent study , there IS a correlation between relationship age gaps and the longevity of said relationship.
So is it just number? Or is it a case of "mind the gap"?
The study by Andrew Frances and Hugo Mialon from Emory University, Atlanta surveyed 3000 married participants.
Their findings showed the larger the age gap, the greater the chance the relationship will end, and this likelihood goes up incrementally.
So a gap of five years age gap means a couple are 18 per cent more likely to break up than age equals. This goes up to 39 per cent with a 10 year age gap, and 95 per cent with a 20 year gap.
And the most successful age gap?
Apparently no more than a year, for which there's only a three per cent chance of going your separate ways.
Of course, it's rare there's only one reason behind two people's decision to call time on their relationship, and Mialon did admit to the Indy100 :
"It could just be that the types of couples with those characteristics are the types of couples who are, on average, more likely to divorce for other reasons."

Why did the Zuora integration intermittently fail to calculate in December 2014?
The Zuora integration experienced intermittent issues with calculations in December 2014. This was particularly noticeable on December 1st and later in the month, leading up to December 26th, 2014.
On December 1st, 2014, there was a planned hold on all batch calculations (this includes regular tax calculations from Zuora). This planned hold lasted from 6 - 6 PST. The reason for the hold was that December 1st was Cyber Monday. After the feedback from customers, especially customers using Zuora, we do not plan to do anything similar to this in the future.
Improvements to the AvaTax infrastructure lead to intermittent failures to calculate with Zuora. This was caused by the new servers not having the necessary properties to process Calc API batch calculations calls. This was resolved on December 26, 2014 at noon PST.
Below is the root cause analysis from the Avalara Site Reliability Engineering team.
Incident Summary
From the afternoon of 11/24 through 12/22 at 11:13 AM, loading old batches and saving new batches was partially impacted.
Impact Assessment
Since the 8 new web servers were added on 11/24, Admin Console connections to them that tried to load an old batch or create a new one failed. The 6 existing servers worked fine for those actions. All other functionality worked on all of the servers.
Root Cause
In our TUK datacenter, there are two domains. The long term goal is to just have one because having two is overly complex, leads to incidents and has more problems than benefits. The 8 new web servers were created in the AVA domain instead of the WEB domain which is where the old web servers are but is also going to be retired.
The Calc website runs as the default user (ApplicationPoolIdentity) which can access network resources like the file share for batches just fine. The problem is that it cannot access cross-domain network resources and the batch file share is in the other domain. This causes the new web servers to error when trying to read or write from the batch file share when running as the default user. The fix will be in SRE-9273 which is to update the Calc website to run as a newly created service account. There is domain trust between the WEB and AVA domains allowing this to work and was verified during our troubleshooting.
Action Items
Update Calc Application Pool Identify in QA: https://avalara.atlassian.net/browse/AE-687
Update Calc Application Pool Identity in SDK/PRD: https://avalara.atlassian.net/browse/SRE-9273

I think you could cover them really well with plastic wrap.

Weekend Teaching Series: Think Different (series premiere, week 1 of 4)
Sermon in a Sentence: People have done incredible things by thinking different.
Service Length: 74 minutes
Understandable Message: Fun to be teaching again this weekend after the You Own the Weekend and Easter break! We kicked off a new series on the life and teachings of Jesus, and I also looked at the Apple "Think Different" campaign. I played the iStalk video that DYM Members get for free with their membership this month, and then taught students about 2 key areas where Jesus taught different. Giving your life away (instead of selfishness) and being forgiving (instead of revenge).
Element of Fun/Positive Environment: Students played in the band and greeted – lots of energy back this weekend despite one of our bigger schools having prom and Mother's Day on Sunday. We had a couple fun videos, and a new game featuring random trivia from the schools that didn't have their own You Own the Weekend series we just came out of. Really fun service!
Music Playlist: He is Alive, Take It All, God I Look to You, Learn to Love
Favorite Moment: This week we tried a new 10-minute fun connection time during 2 of our 4 services. It was a huge hit! Students kinda come in and out and often times those that come alone don't know anyone else and those that have a few friends kinda stick to them. Fun to try this experiment – it went really well, might be something we do more often in the future. Yeah!
Up next: Easter Sunday (Worship Together Weekend)

The Advantages of Healthy Meal Delivery Services
One of the toughest parts of staying fit is the nutrition, simply because not everyone has the energy and time to cook healthy meals from scratch every single day. However, completely giving up on healthy meals and living on junk food can be detrimental to your health and your fitness goals. No matter how busy your day-to-day schedule is, you should always try your best to properly nourish your body. But how do you do that? It's pretty simple – healthy meal delivery services. Many people have no idea this type of service even exists, which is a shame because there are many benefits to using them.
First and foremost, you will save a lot of time, energy and money. All you have to do is pick a meal plan to your liking, and have it delivered to your door every week or month. Cooking a nutritious meal by yourself from scratch requires a lot of preparation and time, especially when you have to prepare meals for a week or so. You'll need to go grocery shopping, prepare everything, adjust the recipe, cook, and after an hour or two of work you will finally get to enjoy the meal. And by the time you get to enjoy your meal, you'll be already annoyed, tired and will just want to get over with it. Another obstacle is the fact that you might not have the cooking skills and patience to prepare the food properly.
Furthermore, healthy meal delivery services are an ideal solution if you're trying to lose weight, control your nutrients intake or gain muscle. Having meals delivered straight to your door that contain the proper amount of calories, carbs and protein not only helps you maintain a healthy diet, but also prevents you from going back to your poor eating habits.
Additionally, you will maximise your minerals and vitamins intake and feel more energised throughout the day. Not only will you eat healthy meals all the time, but you'll also eat different meals, so eating healthy will never get boring. A lot of people meal prep for an entire week, which is a decent solution, but eating the same meal every day gets repetitive and boring, which is one of the reasons a lot of them don't stick to their diets.
That being said, if you don't have the time and energy to cook healthy food for yourself, contacting a healthy meal delivery service can be the perfect solution. It's time and money-efficient, and you'll have an easier time sticking to a healthier, more balanced diet. These services offer various different meal plans, including bodybuilding plans for bulking, cutting, or general healthy lifestyle and nutrition meal plans.

Allison Pineau is only 27, but one could get the feeling that she has been playing for the French national team for the past fifteen years.
French women's head coach Olivier Krumbholz nominated her for the first time in 2007 to play a friendly against China. Pineau was only 17.
"We decided to take Allison into the first team instead of sending her with the junior team," the coach remembers.
"Usually, players start playing with the first national team at the age of 20. But very soon, we knew that Allison had a great potential not only because of her handball skills but also thanks to her determination."
In 2009 she became the first French female to be named World Handball Player of the Year, in 2011 she came second in the vote. These two seasons still mark some of the best years in her career.
After the World Championship 2011 which France finished with the silver medal, Krumbolz had two words to describe Pineau's performance: "extraordinary" and "masterful".
An ace on both sides of the court
"One of Allison's biggest qualities is that she attacks and defends very well. Too often, a very good attacker doesn't defend a lot. But Allison does. Also, she can play on all three back court positions," Krumbholz highlights.
Pineau suffered from serious knee injuries in 2011 and 2015, but came back stronger on both occasions. The latest evidence came at the Rio 2016 Olympics in August. France won silver and Pineau was named best left back of the tournament.
"Allison has an amazing mental strength. Even at the lowest points of her career, her determination and her stubbornness helped her to stay a world class player. After all, all her experience helped her to mature. She has always been an important player in the teams she played in," says Krumbholz.
He adds : "I will always remember the in-flight goal between Allison and Alexandra Lacrabère in the last minute of the extra-time against Spain, in the quarter-final (27:26). After such a tough game, it shows how confident she can be and also the great relationship between these two players who have known each other for a long time now.
A player to decide matches
People who have played with or coached Pineau agree that the she is a player who can make the difference in a game.
"Remember the Champions League match between Fleury and Baia Mare (17:18) last season?" asks Laurent Bezeau, her head coach at Brest Bretagne Handball this season.
"Allison missed everything she tried for 59 minutes but scored the winning goal in the very last second. Baia Mare won and this was a turning point for both teams in their campaign."
"She is as important on and off the court. She always wants to win, understands handball perfectly and has this natural leadership skills. In a nutshell, I could say that she is just a great professional handball player," Bezeau says.
"Allison is this kind of player who is always full of positive energy," Romanian international Melinda Geiger who played with Pineau at Baia Mare and now joined her at Brest. "Her mind is always looking for answers and solutions and she never gives up. Thanks to her positive attitude and her charisma, she also wins the heart of the spectators.
"As a teammate it's always good to have her next to me because I know how her mind works." And she adds with a smile: "But Allison is a perfectionist. She can be very rude with someone who makes too many mistakes at practice or at game! So it helps to play our best handball all the time."

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Economic data unveiling softer growth helped alleviate interest rate concerns and sent technology stocks sharply higher Thursday. The buying was particularly heated in big-cap technology names, giving the Nasdaq a heady 5.3 percent gain.
Market participants now sense that the Fed's tightening cycle may be coming to an end and this has awakened the somnolent bulls. The recent slew of data has increased the perception that another 25-basis-point rate hike may conclude the current rate hike cycle, which began in June 1999.
"Softer housing, auto and retail sales numbers are raising hopes that the Fed may not have to do a lot more to slow down the economy," said John Waterman, managing director at Rittenhouse Financial. "But we need another month to see a pattern develop in the data."
Friday's employment data will be key in determining a trend as the central bank is most worried about the tight jobs market and a cooling off would be welcome. A survey of economists conducted by CBS MarketWatch.com predicts a 370,000 increase in May non-farm payrolls with a 3.9 percent unemployment rate. Average hourly earnings are seen rising 0.4 percent.
"This is what people were banking on. We're [finally] seeing signs that the Fed's six interest rates are having a dampening effect on the economy," said Brian Slater, portfolio manager at Condor Capital Management.
The National Association of Purchasing Management index for May revealed slower growth in the manufacturing sector. The index fell to 53.2 percent compared to April's 54.9 percent and expectations for a 55.2 percent reading. Key subcomponents also revealed a softer manufacturing sector, with the prices paid index at 65.8 percent from the previous 76 percent and the new orders index at 51.1 percent from April's 56.3 percent. See full story.
Thursday's technology buying was particularly intense in the big-cap names, with shares of Cisco Systems, Sun Microsystems, Oracle and Microsoft registering solid gains.
"All the quality names are coming back in a big way," Slater said.
In the broader market, biotech, bank and brokerage stocks lifted while chip, Internet and computer software issues propelled the tech sector. Oil service, paper and utility shares were the downside movers.
The Dow Industrials DJIA, +0.89% tacked on 129.87 points, or 1.2 percent, to 10,652.20.
The Dow is receiving most of its support from its technology components. In fact, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft and Intel were among the blue-chip barometer's upside leaders. But the Dow's financial components also improved following the release of friendly economic data Thursday morning with gains in Citigroup and J.P. Morgan.
"If we keep up this pace and Friday's jobs data is also benign, people will gain further confidence," Slater said.
The economy's slowing, but it's slowing from a frenzied pace, observed Scott Bleier, chief investment strategist at Prime Charter.
Right now, Bleier said, the market is betting on a soft landing, which the Fed successfully engineered in 1995 -- at the end of its last tightening cycle.
The Nasdaq Composite $compq put on 181.59 points, or 5.3 percent, to 3,582.50 -- its fifth largest point increase in history. It was the Nasdaq's first close above the 3,500 level since May 18. The Nasdaq 100 index $ndx , meanwhile, surged 194.90 points, or 5.9 percent, to 3,518.98.
"We're seeing a long overdue bounce with legitimate buying from both individuals and institutions," Bleier said. "It's part of the market's recent volatile action. [It's just] taking us to the upper end of our trading range."
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +1.00% advanced 2.0 percent while the Russell 2000 Index RUT, +1.19% of small-capitalization stocks climbed 3.4 percent.
Volume came in at 960 million on the NYSE and at 1.59 billion on the Nasdaq Stock Market. Market breadth was positive, with advancers outnumbering decliners by 21 to 9 on the NYSE and by 27 to 13 on the Nasdaq.
Sector movers
The business-to-business sector is flying Thursday, with Merrill Lynch's B2B Holdrs " up a heady 10.2 percent. Among the upside movers were PurchasePro PPRO, +0.00%, up 1 51/64 to 23 1/16. The company has been picked by Hilton Hotels HLT, +0.14% to establish a hospitality purchasing exchange.

The drug sector slipped, erasing earlier gains, with the AMEX Pharmaceutical Index " off 0.2 percent. But Pfizer PFE, +0.55%, up 1 to 45 1/2, bucked the trend. Merrill Lynch named the company a "Focus One" stock and reiterated its "near-term, long-term buy" rating. Merrill said Pfizer is the best-positioned pharma company in the industry.
Shares of retail issues reacted to the relesae of monthly sales data. The S&P Retail Index $rlx added 1.1 percent. Best Buy BBY, -1.14% put on 6 11/16 to 70 11/16 after reporting that first-quarter sales were up 24 percent -- a record for the period and one that beat out even management?s most optimistic expectations.

U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson said the U.S. government will have until Monday to respond to Microsoft. On its part, Microsoft will have until Wednesday to file a response to the government brief. Goldman Sachs made positive comments on Microsoft earlier in the session, saying the bad news was already factored in, which contributed to the rally. See full story.
Shares of Qualcomm QCOM, +1.99% gained 2 5/8 to 69. China Unicom said that plans to build a wireless communications network based on CDMA technology was still on track, according to a report in the China Daily, which cited an unnamed company spokesperson.

Treasury focus
Bond prices jumped for the second straight session on the heels of a string of positive economic data, erasing the mild losses registered right out of the gate.
The 10-year Treasury note climbed 21/32 to yield $tnx 6.19 percent while the 30-year bond shot up 29/32 to yield $tyx 5.95 percent. The 30-year's yield dipped below 6 percent for the fist time since May 2.
In other economic news Thursday, April construction spending fell 0.6 percent compared to expectations for a 0.1 percent increase. And weekly initial claims rose 1,000 to 286,000. See , and .
In the currency arena, dollar/yen continued its ascent, gaining 0.8 percent to 108.51, its highest level since mid-May. The greenback reached a peak of 109.05 in early trading Thursday. Euro/dollar, meanwhile, lost 0.7 percent to 0.9309.
Lending some support to the dollar was news that Japan's Financial Supervisory Agency ordered Daihyaku Mutual Life Insurance to suspend some of its operations. Daihyaku is the third life insurer to fail in Japan after Nissan Mutual Life Insurance in 1997 and Toho Mutual Life Insurance in 1999, according to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The news, while expected, was nonetheless viewed as a reason dump yen.
Regional market coverage Currency rates Intl' Indexes
Daihyaku's failure is a good example of how a sharp drop in equity prices -- with the Nikkei 225 index off 20 percent since mid-April -- can snowball into a death spiral, according to Carl Weinberg, chief economist at High Frequency Economics.
"Daihyaku's problem is that unrealized losses on the equities in its portfolio drove the net asset value of the company negative," Weinberg said. In the commodity market, July crude surged $1.13 to $30.14 after plunging $1.34 to $29.01 on Wednesday. The Bridge CRB index edged up 0.25 to 223.50. View latest commodity prices.

Group Will Greet Circusgoers With Secretly Recorded Video of Trainers Who Struck and Whipped Animals
Denver -- As the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus prepares for its opening-night performance at the Denver Coliseum on Wednesday, PETA will protest by showing video footage from its 2009 undercover investigation of Ringling. In the footage, Ringling employees can be seen beating elephants with sharp, metal-tipped bullhooks and attacking tigers with whips. PETA is urging the public to boycott the circus:
Date: Wednesday, September 30
Time: 6:30 p.m.
Place: Outside the Denver Coliseum, 4600 Humboldt St. (near the intersection of 44th Street and MacFarland Drive), Denver
"Our investigation offers further proof of what we've long contended: Ringling regularly intimidates, beats, and whips elephants and tigers to make them perform tricks that are painful and confusing to them," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "Such cruelty has no place in Denver, and we urge the public to take a stand against it."
Scenes caught on PETA's undercover tapes include the following:
• Eight employees--including a superintendent and a head trainer -- using bullhooks and other objects to strike elephants on the head, ears, and trunk
• Employees whipping elephants and a tiger, including on or near the face
• Employees yanking elephants by using the sharp steel barbs on bullhooks
One elephant, Tonka, being forced to perform night after night in spite of repeatedly exhibiting signs of severe psychological distress
PETA has also filed formal complaints with the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as prosecutors and law-enforcement officials in the seven states where the abuses took place.
Copies of PETA's complaints and broadcast-quality undercover video footage will be available. For more information, please visit PETA's Web site RinglingBeatsAnimals.com.

This ministry coordinates with the pastor and leadership team to plan and implement a vital, comprehensive outreach ministry for the congregation to reach people of all ages with Christian love and healing. This ministry will include assessment of trends in congregational growth and attendance and how people are received into the congregation. The ministry will extend the goals of the congregation.
The role of the finance team is have the ability to listen to and communicate with people of all ages; skills and interest in financial budgetary matters; a passion for financially supporting the mission of making Christian disciples for the transformation of the world; and the ability to work with individuals and ministry teams.
Our health team consists of active and retired registered nurses, who are available to assist you in times of a medical emergency.
Our lay leaders function as the primary representative and role model of Christian discipleship and faith lived out in the church and in daily life. The lay leader works with the pastor to fulfill the mission and vision of the congregation.
Liturgical dance is a choreographed dance that is an expression of worship and is sometimes incorporated into the service. You do not need any training to join this ministry.
Congregations today are seeking church musicians who can do a number of things, ranging from traditional choral conducing to the relatively recentjob of praise team leadership. Our music meets these criteria and more!
The ministry of ushering is a crucial part of worship because it is one of the most visible ministries in the church. In Christ, you have received God's unconditional love, and, in Christ, you are called to extend that same unconditional love to others. Although an usher's love is no stronger than the love found in the whole congregation, the usher performs a major role in ensuring that people experience that love and feel welcomed into the church.

Your closet is the first thing you see in the morning. Waking up to an unruly closet is just going to add to that hectic day you're going to have. While most of us may think that our hangers are going to make little of a difference to our closets, it is actually quite the opposite.
Apart from the fact that a set of similar hangers will make your closet look aesthetically appealing, hangers also contribute greatly to the wear and tear of the garments hung on them. Choosing the right type of hanger will help extend the life of your clothes and keep them looking new for longer. The right hangers used for the correct garments will prevent the clothes from getting wrinkled, crushed and misshaped.
Not only are hangers made from various types of materials but are also specifically designed for different types of clothing. Take a look at the various types of hangers available so that you can make an informed choice the next time you buy them.
Classic Plastic
Most of us have been using plastic hangers over the years because of their easy availability however, while they may not be the worst choice they tend to deform into various shapes and sizes over the years. They aren't ideal for heavyweight garments like denims because they tend to bend or snap. This results in pressure points on our clothes and compromises the fabrics of our garments. Make sure that some of your hangers have notches for your strappy tops and dresses too. Acrylic hangers are a variation of plastic hangers and give your closet a slight 'upscale' look.
The Woodman
Wooden hangers look neat and make your closet look very uniform. They also are very durable. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes hence, can be used for different pieces of clothing. They are perfect for hefty garments like blazers, coats, knits, suits, etc. For skirts, look for hangers with movable clips while those with clamps and bars to hang trousers. These hangers give the clothes the support they need and are excellent for evening wear. Choose the Cedar hanger – cedar being a natural repellent- when pests, insects and moths are an issue.
Hold On Tight
Non slip hangers function like the name suggests. They prevent your clothes from slipping off. These hangers are ideal for those garments of slippery materials like silk or satin. They can even be used for strappy tops and dresses. These hangers also come in velvet material and are also called Velvet hangers, velvet being a non-slip material. Also, hangers with a locking bar work similarly and prevent slip-offs.
The Mettle Of Metal
While you may be under the misconception that metal hangers are durable, it is actually quite the opposite. They too tend to bend like plastic under pressure. They may make a chic addition to your wardrobe but they are slippery than most other hangers and are not ideal for all garment materials.
For The Delicate
Padded hangers are perfect for delicate garments and are encased in soft materials like silk and satin. The padding on the hanger prevents slip-offs and helps maintain the shape of the garment. These hangers are ideal to pamper your clothes. Flocked hangers are similar to padded hangers, the only difference being that they are closer in shape to the conventional hanger.
Not Just One
These hangers are not easily accessible. These Multiple and tiered hangers come handy where space is an issue in your closet. These hangers are also ideal when you have certain garments paired up with other particular clothes for a particular look. That way the next time you want to wear a particular outfit, it will all be there on that one hanger.
For Those Little Ones
It is not uncommon for parents to use the same adult hangers for their kids too, however that isn't the right thing to do. Kids' hangers will help prolong the life of the garments of your children. Kids' hangers usually feature hooks, bars, loops and slots to hang their clothes and other accessories that may go with the outfit.
Other than those already mentioned, there are various ways to manage your wardrobe effectively with the use of different accessories and hangers. Clip hangers are perfect for skirts and pants; they help keep the garments in place and avoid wrinkles. An ideal way for all you women to hang your stoles and scarves is by looping on shower rings to your hangers and slipping your garments through them. Go on! Organise your wardrobe with our basic hanger tips.

Restorative Dental Hygienist
Restorative dentistry focuses on the application of cavity-liners, placement and removal of crowns, attachment of prosthetics and finishing of silicone restoration. Some states allow dental hygienists to perform these types of procedures after completing the proper education and training. Dental hygienists often spend many hours standing, and they wear protective gear while working on patients.
In addition to completing an accredited associate's degree program in dental hygiene and securing state licensure, prospective restorative dental hygienists may need to complete a restoration dentistry program and pass an exam. The table below includes the requirements to become a restorative dental hygienist:
|Degree Level
|Associate's degree
|Degree Field
|Dental hygiene
|State licensure can be earned by passing a practical and written exam
|Key Skills
|Dexterity to perform dental procedures; communication skills; detail-oriented; must be able to operate dental and X-ray machinery, as well as pass the Western Regional Board Exam (WREB)
|$72,720 per year (Median salary from May 2015 for all dental hygienists)
Sources: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), American Dental Hygienists' Association
Let's look at the steps involved to become a restorative dental hygienist.
Step 1: Complete a Dental Hygiene Program
Dental hygiene training programs are available as certificate, associate's degree and bachelor's degree programs, though associate's programs are the most common. These programs are widely available at community colleges and vocational schools. Dental hygiene programs teach students several aspects of dental hygiene, including dental technology, the application of dental materials, oral health promotion, dental terminology and the incorporation of dental hygiene laws according to state law.
Success Tip:
- Ensure the program is accredited. Any prospective program should be accredited by the American Dental Association Commission on Dental Accreditation. This assures the student has learned federal and state laws and can be eligible for licensure upon graduation.
Step 2: Become Licensed
State licensure is required for all dental hygienists. Although state licensure processes vary, they typically require applicants to have completed an accredited program, passed a written test, and completed supervised practical hours.
Step 3: Obtain Employment
Dental hygienists who have earned licensure can apply for jobs through employers such as hospitals, community health centers or dentists' offices. Job duties of a dental hygienist include cleaning patients' teeth and educating them about dental health.
Step 4: Study Restorative Dentistry
Restorative dentistry programs are available for currently licensed dental hygienists who want to improve their knowledge and skills in the field. In addition to learning about restorative dental procedures, students in these programs can learn about administering local anesthesia and nitrous oxide.
Success Tip:
- Get Certified. Depending on the state, students who complete these programs may be eligible to take the Western Regional Examining Board's examination for state certification in restorative dental practice. Some states require dental hygienists to earn certification prior to handling any restorative dental duties. Earning certification can provide more job opportunities and career advancement for restorative dental hygienists.
In summary, restorative dental hygienists typically need an associate's degree in dental hygiene and state licensure as a dental hygienist. They also might opt to complete a restorative dentistry program and test for certification.

The mandate for the list is to "move beyond merely 'spunky' or 'feisty' young women...to show women overcoming the obstacles of intersecting forces of race, gender, and class, actively shaping their destinies. They break bonds forced by society as they defy stereotypical expectations and show resilience in the face of societal strictures." That certainly sounds like the incredible girls and women who share their stories in #NYP!

You know her side of the story, now learn his.
"It was useless. I felt branded beneath my skin by a girl who left without even saying goodbye."
When Will Price was assigned a partner for a sixth grade class project he had no idea she would become his best friend. After years of friendship, she eventually became so much more. Then, one day she left with no explanation.
Will's life shattered right before his eyes and he was left alone to pick up the pieces. Floundering, Will must figure out a way to carry on, to find a way to exist without her.
Seven years later, a chance encounter leaves him desperate to get her back. He has one week to make her his again. Not everyone gets a second chance with the love of their life and Will is determined to never lose her again.
I won't lie, I was disappointed. I was really looking forward to reading Her from Will's pov. I was more curious about what he thought when I was reading Him. My review for Him is here.
The first half of this Her is a rehash of Him but from Will's perspective. Yes we do get some insight however, I found Will to more endearing and sweet in Him. I think Her ruined Will for me. Maybe because Sarah was written similarly. This is one of those books where you like the side characters more than the lead. I'm not sure where the disconnect is.
There are good things and bad things about Her. The good stuff for me happened during the last half of the book. We get to see what happens after Will goes to Colorado for the summer with Sarah. It's basically a wrap up. What bothered me though was that the last half of the book was pretty much nothing but sex with bits and pieces of the story. The filler was sex. That's pretty much all Will and Sarah did. I found myself skipping through those parts to get to the good stuff. What happened with Will's mom and Sawyer? What happens with the business, does Sarah move back to Colorado.? Do they get married.? Do they have kids? Do they ever rub their togetherness in Jessica's face?
Some of this is addressed and some of it isn't over all I was okay with the way it ended. Sawyer continued to be a highlight for me in the book. I really liked her character. Jared makes more of an appearance. I was NOT happy with where that storyline went. I felt like the author did him a big dis-service there.
I still found myself annoyed with Sarah. She still seemed very immature to me. She continues to stick her tongue out every chance she gets. Miley anyone?
The book wraps up the story in a neat little package. Not sure if there will be another book for Sawyer and/or Jared.
All in all it was just okay for me.

Day 3 at Paris Fashion Week was a vrai question of who-tailored-it better? Sartorial dismantler, Maison Margiela went surprisingly chic with sharp, lean suiting – adding rivets and metallic fabrics into the mix, reminding all that the maison still remains aloof from being 'too serious'.
Ann Demeulemeester added pop colours to the brand's typical sombre tones, while Berluti looked to the men of Florence for a Pitti Uomo-inspired collection of sweet hues and textural linen blazers; neckerchiefs, pockets and vibrant brogues on cue.
Finally, Givenchy's 'made in America' motifs – denim, stars and stripes, came sports in boxy forms and shapes, mixed with religious iconography and grunge-y tartan prints. The linchpin? Rakish suits.
Saints and bad guys walked the runway for Givenchy Spring 2016. Prison-look pinstripes featured on masculine tailored pieces, next to rugged workwear inspired by industrial America. Designer Ricardo Tisci went hard with the utilitarian, offering pragmatic factory overalls in black with contrast stitching and workshop coats in denim hues.
Reneging on the slouchiness seen in Milan, Tisci went boxy with tops and Bermudas, while religious-print tees were atop punk-ish tartan. Working fromthe US flag, a constellation of stars printed on trousers, overcoats and apron trouser fronts, met with sharp stripes on square-shouldered topcoats and those rakish double-breasted suits.
Ann Demeulemeester
Dubbed 'Two Suns', designer Sebastian Meunier worked pops of flashy orange, teal green and vermillion red into a relatively monochrome collection for Ann Demeulemeester. In the Belgian label's traditional gothic romanticism, top coats in dark hues were slim and slightly bleached out, while blazers were lean – the sleeves bunched up to the elbows – layered over puzzle-piece, longline silk shirts or a slim fit tee.
Trousers started off tapered and cuffed for a touch of sports, before the activeness ramped up with cubic-mesh pants sitting over coloured leggings. The brand's punky edginess reigned with denim cut-off jackets and super lean silhouettes, matched by leather pants.
Embroidered shirting added a softness to the collection too. But the key pieces were the casual jackets – sometimes sheer, sometimes sleeveless, the best being the navy top coats, silk racer jackets and a car coat that featured in the white section of the show.
Maison Margiela
Sleek and chic – that's the new Maison Margiela. Deconstructed not so much any more, the French maison sent down soft, black tailoring and rock-ish tops and coats inside a dilapidated train station. Floaty trenches in bone lapped the rustic brown of a languid three-piece suit; adding a lightness to the touch of rock chic that emitted from satin lapel dinner jackets – stretched to make fluid top coats.
More superstar aesthetics emerged with slim-fit leather pants matched with studded boots; leather jackets wrapped rebelliously around the waist under a washed-out tank. Rubber coats added a synthetic futurism to the collection, before the looks switched to a sense of movement again – dusty hued trenches billowed over foiled-up suits and a white mac coat.
Creative director Alessandro Sartori added a bit of cheek to the traditional Berluti house. Despite the hint of technical brilliance sewn into the structured blazers with tight, notch lapels and single-breast fronting, the candy coloured tailoring almost undercut the sartorial talent.
Berluti embraced the notion of sprezzatura – the art of throwing things together – while still ooking chic. The sugary suit jackets – pink, purple and neon blue – were colour blocked over just-as-fancy saccharine pants, intermixed with rustic looking linen-silk jackets, which sat over geo-print button downs in vibrant yellow, purple and blue.
Outerwear was minimal – white mac coat and one in duck-egg blue – supported by white, slim tailoring for the Euro summer. Casual wear continued the colour assault, with a canary yellow pea coat and neon apple, shawl collar cable knit. A navy parka brought the vibrancy back into line, as did the light blue bomber and pastel grey car coat. Sweet or savoury – it's a buffet for the picking, really.
Comme Des Garçons
Two British subcultures went to war on the Comme Des Garçons runway yesterday: the rich aristocrats and punks. Rei Kawakubo's 'Broken Tailoring' collection sought to seek out the 'value' in suits by playing around with their form, before mixing punk-ish motifs into their sartorial enemies. Sharp double-breasted coats in a hunting tapestry fabric, were perverted by shunts of tartan shirting and polkadot brogues.
Pants were slashed from the knee down and black dinner jackets carried annihilated hems. Blazers boasted metallic coin embellishments over cropped trousers, which looked like cotton basketball shorts. Micro-check suit jackets in cream were elongated over matching shorts; preceding lilac top coats and double breasted shirting in pastel blue-and-white pinstripes.
The tailoring continued to be played with, always sharp in the shoulder and neat, but changed with bold, modernised plaids, stripes and metallic studs. However, there remained a regal-ness when layered over tunics made from crisp, white shirting; the poof-y artist hats and Baroque wigs making it feel all the more la-di-da.

Liverpool dispatched fourth-tier Exeter in the F.A. Cup, with the reserves Sheyi Ojo and Joao Carlos Teixeira scoring their first goals to help the club complete a 3-0 third-round victory at home.
In an all-Premier League match, Tottenham secured its first victory over Leicester in their four games this season. Son Heung-min scored in the first half and then set up Nacer Chadli in the 66th minute to clinch a 2-0 victory for visiting Tottenham, which started with its top scorer, Harry Kane, on the bench.
■ Atlético Madrid and host Celta Vigo played to a 0-0 draw, and Barcelona won at Athletic Bilbao, 2-1, in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. Although Barcelona got the victory, a late goal by Aritz Aduriz kept Athletic alive going into next week's second leg at Camp Nou. Atlético and Celta will play the return match at Vicente Calderon Stadium in Madrid, where Atlético has won its last nine matches.
■ Juventus, the defending champion, will meet its bitter rival Inter Milan in the Italian Cup semifinals after winning, 1-0, at Lazio in a repeat of last year's final. Stephan Lichtsteiner scored the only goal in the 66th minute, sending a rebound toward the bottom right corner of the goal after Simone Zaza hit the left post.
■ The five-time champion Monaco was pushed to extra time before securing its spot in the round of 16 of the French Cup with a 3-1 win at second-tier Evian. Lyon defeated Chambly, 2-0, and fourth-division Trelissac produced the day's shock result with a 4-2 home victory over Lille on penalty kicks after the teams drew, 1-1.

We worked with author Jillian Keenan and the publicity team at William Morrow to create a robust media outreach campaign for Sex With Shakespeare, Keenan's witty biblio-memoir about how the Bard helped her embrace her spanking fetish. We knew that, in addition to regular book page coverage, there was a lot of media potential for the book among Shakespeare fans and people interested in sexuality and kink. We targeted those two audiences with our outreach. In addition to placing excerpts of the book in Slate, LitHub, Electric Literature, and Alternet, we lined up a lot of coverage in targeted outlets like Huffington Post Love + Sex podcast, Slate's Double X Gabfest, and Fox Radio's Fox on Love show.
Here are a few of our favorites:
Slate's Double X Gabfest podcast
A lively interview about how A Midsummer Night's Dream helped Keenan understand her sexuality.

Keenan is featured in another fascinating conversation about the importance of honesty, both with yourself and your partner.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has ruled out New Zealand providing help to Kiwi teenagers living rough in Australia after authorities there denied them welfare assistance.
"At the moment there's no country in the world that funds another government to make welfare payments," Ardern told RNZ this morning.
"My understanding is that if they've been there 10 years or more that there should be eligibility. But for this group that's been raised we have an independent youth benefit in New Zealand, we have support we can provide them here. If they're on the streets, that tells me they do not have that network of support. We could provide it here. Unfortunately we cannot provide it in Australia."
Newshub last night reported that nearly 40 organisations had written to Ardern asking for help for New Zealand teenagers living on the streets in Australia.
Some of the teens have reportedly turned to begging or prostitution to live because they are not eligible for Australian welfare payments.
"These are children, and these are homeless children, and should be able to be supported by one of the governments in Australia in order to access financial support," Australian Community Lawyer Shorna Moore told Newshub.
Ardern said today that the Government would keep raising the wider issue of equitable welfare with Australian officials.
"We have continued to maintain the rights of Australians in New Zealand, we continue to seek from Australia that they do the same. New Zealanders in Australia do do their bit, they tend to have higher wages, they pay tax. And as I say, there's an inequity there. And we will keep raising it," she told RNZ.

New Jersey has third highest number of severely segregated schools, according to research
Legal racial segregation was eliminated with the Civil Rights Act of 1964, but de facto segregation still remains a prominent issue in the New Jersey school systems, according to an article by NJspotlight.
According to the research of Paul Tractenburg, a distinguished lawyer and professor at the Rutgers Law School—Newark, New Jersey has the third highest number of severely segregated schools in the nation. These schools are deemed "apartheid schools," and their student bodies are less than 1 percent white.
"Apartheid schools" compose 8 percent of schools in N.J. but hold 26 percent of black students and 13 percent of Latino students. That means 1 out of every 4 black students in the state attends a school where they never interact with a white student, according to his report.
Tractenburg, who has been involved in the litigation and research of segregation in education for 40 years, said the reasoning for this lies in the way New Jersey separates its school districts. In the past, students from multiple towns would attend the same high school, but towns in the state have since consolidated their districts, and by doing so have thwarted diversity.
"We have districts, typically the city districts, that are pretty much 100 percent black or Hispanic and 80 percent or more are low-income students, and literally right next door we have districts that are all white and do not have a single low-income kid," he said.
Tractenburg said since the 1940s, the number of school districts nationwide has dropped from 130,000 to just 13,000, which is almost a 90 percent decrease. Contrarily, the number of schools districts in N.J. has risen by 20 percent. These consolidated school districts are mostly homogeneous and lacking in diversity.
"We sort of stand alone in the country in our kind of love affair with local control and home rule, and how each small group of residents has to have its own school board," he said.
The predominant model in other countries is not to have local school districts, but a national education system, Tractenburg said.
Although there is a lack of evidence definitively proving that racial prejudices entirely motivates segregation in N.J. school districts, Tractenburg said many authority figures believe issues of racial and socioeconomic discrimination play key roles.
People in N.J. and the United States often do whatever it takes to make sure their child has the most advantages possible. This makes them unwilling to allow their money to go to the benefit of other children, Tractenberg said.
"I have traveled around and looked at education systems in a lot of other countries and this is not an attitude that you find," he said.
Overall, this is is a very political and complicated issue, Tractenburg said. People are often pessimistic about the state's ability to change.
"We have by far the strongest state constitutional laws regarding racial balance in schools, and we have one of the worst records in the country on the ground with segregation … we are obviously not enforcing our constitution," he said.
Tractenburg said the best method of ending severe segregation in N.J. would be to reform the way school districts are cut out. Many naysayers see this as politically detrimental.
"If you believe in equal education opportunity, then you have to give more resources and maybe better teachers to the students who bring the greatest disadvantage to school. We have been litigating for 40 years in effect to accomplish that very idea," he said.
Robert Lake, a professor at the Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, said he is not surprised that N.J. is near the top of the list of states ranked by degree of racial segregation.
"We are looking at a 200-year history that has contributed to the significant degree of residential segregation by race in the state, it goes back to before the Civil War," he said.
Lake said the multiplication and fragmentation of small municipalities in the suburbs has been used as a means of controlling access to housing and property.
"Change happens very, very slowly and patterns that get entrenched in institutional practices, policies, government actions and private actions tend to replicate and repeat themselves," Lake said.
The only way that change will occur, Lake said, is when a "concerted and targeted" attempt to uproot the system is made.
Fixing segregation today will require enough people to unite and realize it is necessary and beneficial for society, he said. Something will need to disrupt the entrenched practices of the state's institutions that perpetuate the problem.
"You need a positive reason to make enough people realize this is worth doing and a strong enough force to convince people to give up what they perceive as their benefits from the way things were before," he said.
Since Rutgers prides itself on its success in diversity, its students have a responsibility to make the University a place that promotes its own diversity to the larger society, Lake said.
Dan Cretella, a School of Arts and Sciences sophomore, said he is aware of the de facto segregation that exists.
Cretella believes the ripple effects of segregation before 1964 are still affecting us as a society today, he said.
"Back in the times when segregation was backed by law, it kind of kept minorities in a spot where they could not financially escape and future generations were doomed to repeat the process," he said.
He said he finds the quasi-segregation in N.J., his home state, to be unsettling.
"New Jersey is very polarizing, it seems like there are not that many middle-class areas anymore. There are wealthy places in Morris County like Short Hills and Mendham, and then there are significantly poorer places like Newark, Trenton and Camden, which are predominantly minority," he said.
Diversity in schools is crucial to making students more intelligent and well-rounded individuals, which would, in turn, benefit the state as a whole, he said.
Areas that lack diversity often breed racism, Lake said, whereas diverse communities have been shown to create more aware individuals. He said this was one of the reasons he attended Rutgers.
"Rutgers is super diverse and the students are very well rounded here," He said. "You meet new people, learn new things, become a part of a bigger culture and therefore a bigger movement, which produces well-rounded people."

This weekend we were in the airport and we were reminded of how much animals are helping people cope and enabling them with their mental health. We saw 2 service animals (for mental health challenges) within one hour while waiting to board our plane. I thought it ironic that our blog topic this week was planned to be "Ways Pets Improve Mental Health." People are catching on that our four legged friends are not just companions for the blind or law enforcement but they can actually help those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and other struggles. Today let's talk about how they help us get out of "ourselves".
They Teach Us Responsibility
What's the first thing we do with our kids when we want to teach them responsibility? Well besides telling them to pick up after themselves and eat their fruits and veggies. We get them a pet- usually a small hamster or fish. Something they can take care of easily. Then we graduate into our favorite companions- dogs and cats! This is a great way to teach kids to take responsibility for something. They can feed, walk, and clean up after their little friend. It teaches them to think about something other than just themselves. When their cat rubs up against them because he's hungry or their dog barks because he wants let out, they have to stop what they are doing and tend to them. (Unless Mom rescues them every time. Oh no, Mom! Don't do that! ;) ) The great thing about this is animals are gracious. They will love the kids in return for taking care of them. So their are immediate rewards to their responsibility.
So if you're thinking about a pet, make it a growth opportunity for your kids!
Thank you for reading. Check back in tomorrow when Joleen shares another reason pets help us mentally.

Why teach ethnography to managers (in the big data era)?
In management circles and beyond, companies are rushing to integrate, adapt and exploit big data in their organisations.
In management circles and beyond, companies are rushing to integrate, adapt and exploit big data in their organisations.
The ongoing Facebook and Cambridge Analytica scandal has revealed just how vulnerable our social-media data are to exploitation.
