17 Mar 2001
A young man who had been raised as an atheist was training to be an Olympic diver. The only religious influence in his life came from his outspoken Christian friend. The young diver never really paid much attention to his friend's sermons, but he heard them often.
One night the diver went to the indoor pool at the college he attended. The lights were all off, but as the pool had big skylights and the moon was bright, there was plenty of light to practice by. The young man climbed up to the highest diving board and as he turned his back to the pool on the edge of the board and extended his arms out, he saw his shadow on the wall. The shadow of his body was in the shape of a cross. Instead of diving, he knelt down and asked God to come into his life.
As the young man stood, a maintenance man walked in and turned the lights on. The pool had been drained for repairs.
Prayers needed Now!
For our Troops every where.

Networks' Win in Signal Fight Challenged by EFF
(CN) – Digital rights advocates urged the 9th Circuit to block Fox and NBC from interfering with the "personal, everyday uses of free television broadcasts."
The amicus brief filed Friday comes in the consolidated appeal from lawsuits Fox Television and NBCUniversal filed against Aereokiller, a service that sends over-the-air television signals to the personal computing devices of its subscribers.
Crediting claims that the Internet video company violates network copyrights, a federal judge in Los Angeles gave the networks a preliminary injunction last month.
The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) says such claims are "baseless."
"In all material respects," Aereokiller's system of antennas, recording and transmission mirrors that of Aereo, a New York video system that the 2nd Circuit found noninfringing in the 2008 decision Cartoon Network LP v. CSC Holdings Inc., the EFF argued.
Upholding the injunction will create a circuit split, the group argued.
"The underlying issue raised here is whether copyright holders should be permitted to reach beyond their statutory rights to prohibit follow-on innovation, and to regulate personal, everyday uses of free television broadcasts," its 30-page brief states. "Also at stake is whether preliminary injunction decisions in copyright cases can be premised on unsupported assumptions favoring copyright holders, contrary to the public interest and the Supreme Court's instructions in EBay Inc. v. MercExchange LLC. These issues are of profound importance to the public."
EFF also likened Aereokiller to roof-mounted antennas, long-used for private television transmissions.
"The technologies that enable these forms of private viewing are, to the viewer, part of the personal equipment that was once limited to a console television with cumbersome 'rabbit ears,'" the brief states. "In each of these activities, the source of the programming is over-the-air broadcast, which anyone within range has a right to receive on the personal equipment of their choice."
The author of the brief, EFF staff attorney Mitch Stoltz, said in a statement that the networks are "twisting the law" at viewers' expense.
"Many of the services that Hollywood is trying to shut down are simply conceptually moving the antenna that used to be on your roof to their roof," Stoltz said. "TV viewers have a right to choose when and how they watch free TV – and courts have recognized that. Networks can't block consumer choices just because they didn't think of it first and want a cut of the profits from someone else's idea."
The EFF further argued that start-up innovators and others enter the market without consistent rulings supporting TV viewers' legal and customary rights.
"This isn't just about the products and services that are being developed today," Stoltz added. "It's about what innovators could come up with tomorrow, if they aren't discouraged by TV networks trying to claim copyright infringement when it just doesn't apply. We're asking the court here to prevent Hollywood from twisting the law at the expense of viewers' customary rights."
The Electronic Frontier Foundation, a member-supported nonprofit founded in 1990, says it "promotes the sound development of copyright law as a balanced legal regime that fosters creativity, innovation, and the spread of knowledge."
The brief argues that "there is a significant public benefit of increased competition in video distribution."
"In considering whether to uphold the grant of preliminary injunction, the Court should keep in mind the ultimate purpose of copyright – to promote progress – and avoid shortcuts or presumptions that will create a disincentive for future innovators," the group added.

An intelligence deficit in vulnerability management is causing real issues with more users understanding they had issues before they ended up breached, a new report found.
With more vulnerabilities found every year, it has become more difficult for organizations to effectively prioritize security holes that expose their networks, according to a report by security provider, Tenable.
Phishing Attacks on Rise in Q3
Techniques can Expose Browsing History
Untrained Staff Top Cyber Risk: Report
Microsoft Tops Phishing List
The company analyzed flaws discovered last year and in the first half of this year.
Tenable counted all the common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) identifiers assigned last year and discovered 15,038 new flaws, compared to 9,837 in 2016, a 50 percent increase. On top of that, there has been an increase of 27 percent in the number of vulnerabilities disclosed in the first half of 2018 compared to the same period of 2017.
In 2017, over half of the vulnerabilities rated "critical" or "high severity" – CVSSv3 assigns higher scores to flaws compared to CVSSv2. However, exploits were only made public for 7 percent of the total and only a small subset of those were actually weaponized and exploited by malicious actors.
Enterprises discover 870 unique vulnerabilities per day, including newly discovered flaws and unpatched issues previously disclosed, according to Tenable. Of all the vulnerabilities discovered so far, 12 percent have been rated "critical," which means organizations have to deal with roughly 100 weaknesses per day even if they prioritize only the most serious findings.
"Trying to remediate and mitigate all disclosed vulnerabilities, even when prioritizing high and critical vulnerabilities, is an exercise in futility, as our data shows," Tenable said in its report. "The reality is, for most vulnerabilities, a working exploit is never developed. And, of those, an even smaller subset is actively weaponized and employed by threat actors."
The company found a quarter of all 107,000 CVEs assigned until October 2018 impact enterprise environments and nearly two-thirds of the vulnerabilities found by enterprises are "high severity" or "critical."
The security holes most commonly found in enterprises impact software from Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and Adobe, including the .NET Framework, Chrome, Java, Internet Explorer, Flash Player and Outlook. More than a quarter of enterprises are also exposed to attacks due to issues related to SSL.
"Managing vulnerabilities at volume and scale across different teams requires actionable intelligence. Otherwise, we're not making informed decisions – we're guessing," Tenable researchers said in the report. "An intelligence deficit in vulnerability management is causing real-world implications – with 34 percent of breached organizations stating they were aware of the vulnerability that led to their breach before it happened. The problem is we have too much information and not enough intelligence. Turning information into intelligence requires interpretation and analysis – something that doesn't scale easily. The solution lies in operationalizing intelligence based on your organization's unique characteristics – your most critical digital assets and vulnerabilities."

Lord Lightbulb - guilty as charged
The Times reports that Lord Barnett, a former Labour minister, is set to make a mint from an investment in a company that recycles the toxic lightbulbs we are soon to be forced to use.
A FORMER Labour cabinet minister is set make a fortune when the country switches to using low-energy light bulbs.
Lord Barnett, who was Treasury chief secretary two prime ministers during the 1970s, is a shareholder in Mercury Recycling Group, which is expected to see its value soar during the switch over from conventional lighting.
The Times seems to have asked the Ignoble Lord if he had used insider knowledge of the government's intentions to guide his investment decisions. "No" retorts his Lordliness, "I have never spoken in the House of Lords on an issue in which I have got an interest."
A case of denying something with which you were not charged, if ever I heard it.

History of St. Ann's Soup Kitchen
Some recollections by Fr. Bonadies, Soup Kitchen Founder
While in my second year of service to St. Ann Church in Hamden, I was troubled to observe many people pushing grocery carts with their belongings in them around the neighborhood of the Church. I realized that there were many poor people in the vicinity which had previously been an active working-class environment of 1st generation immigrants who made up the St. Ann Community. Before long, I concluded that the place was radically changing as the Italian parishioners were moving farther away from the Church. Our beautiful Church structure was fast becoming a relic of the past with no relationship to the present population. As in previous years, St. Ann reached out to her children with the assurance of the Church's concern for their welfare; I realized that the new role of St. Ann's was to reach out to our new neighbors to tell them that they were, indeed, important to the Church too. To assure them that the same Christ who embraced the Italian immigrants with love and concern for their lives and welfare, still was present in that beautiful Church structure and concerned for them too. It seemed that one way to offer this assurance was to sit them down, feed them and offer some assistance to their own homes through an Emergency Pantry.
Farther down Dixwell Ave., a small Evangelical Church called Christ Chapel was trying to do a similar task and we hoped by their joining forces with St. Ann Church, we might more efficiently pursue the Apostolic endeavor and so the "St. Ann/Christian Union" Soup Kitchen was formed. Their endeavor was pursued for a couple of years until it collapsed sadly, due to a number of internal irreconcilable problems of management.
Among a number of initial problems we faced at the start were the objections of certain parishioners who were adverse to our undertaking such a great responsibility outside of our own people. The question was posed to the most moral of objectors that if they could show that this project was not according to the mind of Jesus Christ, then we would discontinue. Silence ensued.
Thus the St. Ann Soup Kitchen pursued. We embarked on a collaboration for a time, with some government help, to try to do some food service training, which sadly also collapsed due to some mismanagement of funds by the collaborating agency – still St. Ann Soup Kitchen continued. Various groups have undertaken to involve themselves with St. Ann Soup Kitchen. All the Hamden parishes have been extremely supportive with funds and support. The Knights of Columbus have given whole-hearted support and as a result of all of these, the St. Ann Soup Kitchen has continued to this day, proud of the fact that it is the single apostolic work of their kind owned and sponsored by the Archdiocese of Hartford and maintained as this demonstration of Christ's love for the poor and the Church's response to the Savior's Injunction. "Feed my lambs and feed my sheep."
On June 29, 2017, St. Ann Church merged with St. John the Baptist, Church of the Blessed Sacrament and Church of the Ascension to form Christ the Bread of Life Parish. Although St. Ann Church is closed, the Soup Kitchen continues to run as it always has.
Christ the Bread of Life Parish intends to support the efforts started by Father Bonadies. Although the Church building is currently up for sale, we will relocate the Soup Kitchen if it becomes necessary to do so.
As Father Bonadies stated, this project follows the teachings of Jesus Christ, and Christ the Bread of Life plans to continue just that.
Matthew 25:35-40
35 For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.' 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?' 40 And the King will answer them, 'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[a] you did it to me.'

New York Times discovers SLO's tech scene, MindBody and Bubblegum Alley
The New York Times has discovered "sleepy" San Luis Obispo as a burgeoning California tech region.
In a story published Tuesday, reporter Kathy Chin Leong writes about the city's "laid-back charm" and how local startup MindBody — which sells web scheduling tools, automated marketing and sales processing services to fitness and wellness businesses — has helped invigorate the area's tech scene.
"Top tourist draws are a nearby 18th-century Spanish mission and Bubblegum Alley, a walkway lined with chewed gum," Leong writes. "But Rick Stollmeyer, the chief executive of MindBody, envisioned it as a bustling tech hub."
The story, headlined "How tech expanded from Silicon Valley to Bubblegum Alley," refers to San Luis Obispo as a "small college town known by the acronym SLO, where nature buffs and health food junkies go to find their nirvana."
Leong also associates the area's increasingly pricey housing market with the growing tech industry, and discusses local concerns about the region's growth.
Of course, none of this is new to residents, who likely enjoy San Luis Obispo's rolling hills, proximity to the ocean and local farm-to-table scene more than its wall of used gum.

Letters to the Editor
Call the House
People who agree with writer Fred Campbell regarding daylight saving time (Nov. 6), should contact Lois Capps.
It was the House of Representatives that extended DST by several weeks a few years back without much, if any, advance notice. That same body can modify it once again if there is public demand. Lots of people share Mr. Campbell's view. I, for my part, contact Representative Capps twice a year — every year — asking that one plan or the other be selected: standard time or daylight saving time.

Nowadays computer consumers use various electronic gadgets to access and store their valuable data, such as systems, laptops, Smartphone, etc or create BKF (Backup File) on their system. You may store data on these gadgets such as family photos, documents, videos, pictures or anything else. However, all these data is very important for you but losing these data due to any reason will hurt you lot. Hence, it is best to backup your essential data to other storage device.
List of ways to backup data
Manually backing up data: You can backup your essential data from your system hard disk using external USB drives such as pen drives, CD or DVD, external hard disk, etc. Follow below mentioned steps to do it.
- Start your PC and wait till you get welcome screen
- Next, connect device to system in which you wish to backup data
- Next prioritize data which you wish to backup
- Select all file using Ctrl + A and right click to choose Copy option
- Open connected drive and right click to choose Paste option
- Disconnect the device once paste process is over
Using Backup program
There are some programs available free to backup data from hard disk by automatic options. In addition, they provides some basic features like scheduling data backup task and even you can compress data to save space on storage device.

"I play because I have fun, if I don't have fun on the court, there is something wrong. I am just a 19 year old boy that likes to do what he likes, nothing else."
Rafael Nadal, French Open Champion Daily Express 6/20/05
DR G'S COMMENTS: Nadal has broken into the top 10 in the world as a tennis player partially because he has the right attitude about his sport. Even at the very highest level of the game, Nadal understands that the secret to competitive success comes from having fun before and during your competitions. FUN is the biggest, least understood secret to your success as an athlete. It's a personal ticket to reaching your full athletic potential. When you go into a competition with having fun as your primary goal, then you'll end up performing loose and relaxed. It's this loose, relaxed state that is so crucial to peak performance. FUN is the biggest antidote to crunch-time competitive pressure. It will keep you cool and calm in the clutch. There's no question that FUN will bring you to the "promised-land" in your sport. If you get into loving what you're doing, enjoying the challenge and struggle, the ups and downs, then you'll most often come out on top. Without FUN you become vulnerable to the "seriousness" disease where you'll be easily distracted by the importance of the outcome. ("This is a really big game. I have to play well. I can't let my team down. We really need to win so we can advance to the playoffs. Blah…Blah…Blah!" When you get serious you'll get tight, and when you get tight, you can just kiss your game good-bye. So get with the program. Get your priorities straight. If you want to play well, have fun FIRST!

As a new feature for the upcoming season in August, the visitor ticket system will be working through the Revolver App. A solution made in order to make it even faster and more efficient for the visiting buyers and press to access Revolver Village.
Revolver started its digitalization process in February 2016 with a successful launch of the indoor-navigation app named "Revolver Fashion Trade Show". The application developed for both iOS and Android is an indoor navigation tool that works exactly as one knows it from the navigational applications of Apple and Google. The application works while walking real time in Revolver Village, and has accuracy within 50 centimetres. The app was downloaded more than 5000 times during the trade show in February, and was very well received by the visitors. The app as well as ticket system is developed by STRØM WORKS in collaboration with Revolver and DHL.

Research Profile
Celine Riera, PhD, is an assistant professor in the Center for Neural Science and Medicine. Her research focus is on understanding the function of specific neurons of chemosensory nature in age-associated metabolic diseases. Dr. Riera's work has pioneered the exploration of sensory neurons function in metabolism, demonstrating that sensory receptors expressed in afferent nociceptor neurons originating from the dorsal root ganglia can influence the rate of metabolism during aging. Additionally, her studies evidenced that olfactory neurons drive changes in energy balance in mouse models of diet-induced obesity. Research in the lab is focused on the identification of central and peripheral sensory neural circuits regulating metabolic balance upon nutritional overload and the aging process, and identifying key molecules and genes mediating these processes.

PTGW Part Eight A: Taking Care of Your Body
Taking care of your body and your appearance is very important; it is part of being a good witness for Jesus Christ. That doesn't mean that you should spend three hours a day on your appearance, but it does mean that you should remember that even though God looks at your heart, people will see your appearance first. (But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 - yes, I know it's out of context, but it's still true)
God can work through everyone no matter how they look or smell or whatever, but if my dad gave me a beautiful dress to wear and I wore it every day and didn't wash it and it got all grey and dirty and I told everyone that my Dad had given it to me, well... that wouldn't make them think very well of my Dad, would it? "Oh my goodness! I'm sure glad I'm not his daughter! Look at what she wears... she doesn't even look clean!"
We should be so proud of being God's daughters that we want to give Him a 'good name' by looking like what we are... taken care of and loved very very much.
Also, when you get married your husband is going to want to be proud of your appearance. So start on good habits now so that when you get married you'll have a head start.
Now here are a few things that I'm NOT saying.
1. I'm NOT saying that you should lose weight
2. I'm NOT saying that you have to wear makeup
3. I'm NOT saying that you should obsess about how you look and constantly be running to the mirror
4. I'm NOT saying that you need to be self conscious if your clothes aren't brand-new
Ok? Now that we've gotten that straightened out... here are a few ideas of how to take care of your body.
1. Stay clean. This means taking a shower when you need it. Some people can get away with one a week and some people need one a day. A good way to tell if you need one is if you don't smell fresh or your hair feels stiff and greasy. Simply staying clean is an excellent place to start on having a good appearance.
2. Get dressed in the morning. Don't go to the grocery store in your pjs and slippers. Aside from modesty issues, is life as a Christian really so depressing that you can't bear to get ready for the day???
3. Do your hair. I know, it's basic, but it's important to have your hair look neat and tidy. Now I can't brush my hair when it's dry because it's so curly that it would just frizz and I'd end up looking something like Ronald MacDonald. ;-) But on days that I don't get my hair wet, I still smooth it and put it up in a bun.
4. Drink water. Drinking water can help you to have nice skin, give you energy, and help you not to smell bad when you 'perspire'.
5. Go for a walk or a bikeride OUTSIDE every day if you can. It doesn't have to be long, I like walking a quarter mile most days. This will get your blood flowing nicely, give you a chance to be peaceful (no listening to music), and help you be more energetic.
6. Make sure that your clothes are always clean, patched, and wrinkle-free. It doesn't matter if your clothes aren't new, you can look just as nice in 2nd (or 3rd or 4th) hand clothes as in brand-new clothes as long as they are pressed and clean.
7. Take care of your teeth. Now I'm not saying that you need to get braces, teeth whiteners, etc. But if you take care of your teeth (brushing and flossing every day) your teeth will look nice and you won't have to worry as much about bad breath.
8. Practice good posture. Stand up straight! You are proud of your Father, now walk like it!
9. Wear a Smile! That is a very important thing that you can do for your appearance. If you have a smile it won't matter if your teeth are crooked, your clothes old, or your hair is frizzy! Smiling is a very easy and simple way to look pretty and bless people.
10. Dress like a Lady. (I assume that no men are reading this, but if they are they should dress like Gentlemen, not Ladies.) ;-) Don't look as if you are ashamed of your gender. It is so refreshing to see a woman who isn't hiding under baggy pants and t-shirts and yet is not flaunting her body in mini-skirts and tight shirts.
11. Do the things that God tells us to in His Word. This is THE MOST important thing of all. If you live a clean life through Jesus, than others will have a 'good feeling' about you. I don't know why, but that seems to be the way it works. :-)
Now if you want to you can do other things like put on a little bit of makeup etc. But the most important thing is to be clean and neat, and to smile.
I don't know about you, but when I see someone who doesn't really take care of themselves I think "Oh dear, they must be quite unhappy with their life."
As Christians, we have been blessed with a Father who cares for us no matter what happens. Let's show the world how much we appreciate Him by taking care of His temple (our bodies).
"Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
Next time I'll be talking about taking care of your soul (which is infinitely more important than your body). As usual, I love getting comments (as long as they're polite). I have no idea if anyone reads my posts unless they comment.

Thank you for commenting and letting me know that you read my blog, Ladies! :-) I'm SO glad that my posts are helpful. :-)

- August 22, 2009 at 8:02 AM
I have an idea (you don't have to use it, and I'm not sure if you'd already planned this or not, but...): How about a post on how some television and computer and things like that can be bad for you, but not to make them out to be the bad guy. (Such as, some television and computer can be educational, but too much will get you addicted and you might start looking at and/or listening to bad things through them. I think this is a challenge for lots of people.
- August 22, 2009 at 7:34 PM
Oh yes, and I think your posts are very helpful as well! I can't (okay that might be a bit of an excuse) don't keep up with some of those things as routinely as I should.

Very inspiring! Those simple things can go a long way. This will give me something to think about as I get ready everyday. :)

You received a message from Jucleas asking you to visit him regarding the Abyss. Head to the Lyceum and speak with him.
Quest Information Edit
Objectives Edit
Basic Reward Edit
- 250
- <Strange Green Sack> (2)
Walkthrough Edit
Talk with Jucleas to begin the quest. Now travel to the Coliseum and talk with Rinos to update quest. Travel back to Lyceum and speak with Jucleas again to update and obtain reward.
The quest dialogue makes it sound like you need to fight other players in the arena, but actually you do not need to do anything beyond the three NPC visits.
Dialogue Edit
Initial Dialogue Edit
- Jucleas
- "Ah good, you're here! How have you been getting on, [Player Name]?
- It seems only yesterday that I conducted your ceremony, and yet here I am, just about to send you to the very linchpin of our war.
- I have kept tabs on your progress, and the moment has come to test your mettle one final time."
- "What must I do to prove my worth, Jucleas?"
- (cutscene)
- "Such modesty. Your worth has already been proven a hundred times over, [Player Name]!
- But...the Abyss is a terrifying and innately hostile world--a void filled with cruel beasts that ably demonstrate their speed, strength, intelligence, and co-operation.
- Ours is the righteous path. We are Aion's chosen, but there is still this final test we must endure before we truly deserve our paradise. Do you understand?"
- "I do."
- "I'm glad. I fear sometimes that my words are lost on others who have not seen what I've seen--those whose roots are not as deep as mine.
- The test you are about to take judges your physical prowess. You will battle your ascended brothers and sisters.
- Head to the Coliseum, and speak with Rinos. He will give you further instruction. Faith and arms!"
- "Faith and arms!"
- Rinos
- "You're the one Jucleas sent, aren't you? Don't trust you, [Player Class]. Don't trust anyone as green as you.
- There's only one way to impress me--martial prowess. You may be used to knocking back the odd Dukaki warrior, but they're nothing next to a Balaur.
- Show me what you can do. Find other Daevas within this Coliseum to do battle with, and engage them in duels."
- "Any advice?"
- "Remember that this is for your own good.
- When you've had enough, press on and fight harder. When your lungs are screaming for respite and your muscles burn from the pain, push through it.
- Now go. And good luck."
- "Thank you."
- Jucleas
- "Ah, [Player Name]--were you successful?
- Do you feel you are prepared to face our greatest threat?"
- "I believe so, Jucleas."
- "I'm glad. I feel our legionaries will be most relieved once you join their ranks.
- However, it is not that simple. You have demonstrated that your body is ready for conflict, but you will need more than your body alone for this struggle.
- There are still a couple more tests for you to complete."
Summary Edit
After warning you of the several dangers present in the Abyss, Jucleas suggested you go to the Coliseum and speak with Rinos.
You returned after completing your duels, at which point Jucleas said that there were still tests for you to complete.

In my upcoming book I want to explore how dynamics between co-workers generated by feelings and emotions, as well as our life force and our honest and intimate relations on the workplace, are influencing our collaboration in teams and organizations.
Applied honesty, authenticity and a more consciously lived intimacy can support the transmutation of this life-force. And, in turn, this can lead to better conditions in the workplace, more inspiration, productivity, etc.
Greek philosopher Plato referred to one of the four forms of love and an inspiration for seeking truth as Eros, while C.G. Jung used that term to describe the desire for wholeness or interconnection.
Sigmund Freud referred to Eros as 'will to live'.
As relational scholars we should enter an organization as if it were an extended set of relationships and to place more attention on the ''space between''—the space between subject and object.
With more openness, honesty and authenticity more intimacy and trust can unfold between the co-workers and the collaboration can be lifted to another level.
Vulnerability and intimacy in a corporate setting may seem scary for some, but my hope is that through this book the reader will see why these ideas and practices are important for a more constructive collaboration and to co-create a thriving future.
This book is an unfinished piece. My part is done, and until now I have 2 great interviews collected, but I still look for contributors of essays and people I can interview, who bring different perspectives into the dialogue. My wish is to have minimum 6 but better 12 people who share their experience in the book by end of 2018. I have already one interview fixed and one I am still waiting for the OK. 3 women have expressed their interest and are reading the book right now.
I am looking also for an author to write a preface who already published books or articles, or who is successfully working in the field of emotions and energetics in the workplace.
Are you interested to share your experience and give your contribution in form of an interview or essay? Write me to firstname.lastname@example.com and tell me something about you.
When I started the book I also wanted to collect some empirical data with an online survey. You still can help me by going through it and answer those questions. Plan around 20 minutes of time for it.
Is #metoo and any form of #sexualmisconduct and #harrassment still an issue in your organization?
I can support you to create #savespaces to explore these topics in group #dialogues, based on the research for my book and my experience in working with groups and in different teams.
We will create together a respectful, non-judgmental and trusting atmosphere, where everybody's voice is heard and welcomed.
Interested? Find details after clicking on the button, or send me a message.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
This is a scalable context timeline. It contains events related to the event December 20, 2006: Wilson Challenges Libby Subpoena. You can narrow or broaden the context of this timeline by adjusting the zoom level. The lower the scale, the more relevant the items on average will be, while the higher the scale, the less relevant the items, on average, will be.
Lewis "Scooter" Libby, chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, "outs" a covert CIA agent to a reporter. Libby tells New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who has been a reliable outlet for administration leaks and disinformation (see December 20, 2001, August 2002, and May 1, 2003), that Valerie Plame Wilson is a CIA official. Plame Wilson is a covert CIA officer currently working at CIA headquarters on WMD issues in the Middle East. More importantly for Libby, she is the husband of former US ambassador Joseph Wilson, who went to Niger to verify the administration's claims that Iraq had attempted to purchase uranium there (see February 21, 2002-March 4, 2002), and who has become an outspoken critic of the administration's war policies both on television and in print (see July 6, 2003). Libby Blames CIA for 'Slanted Intell' - Miller meets Libby at the Old Executive Building. Her focus is, as she has written in her notebook, "Was the intell slanted?" meaning the intelligence used to propel the US into war with Iraq. Libby is "displeased," she notes, by what he calls the "selective leaking" of information to the press by the CIA. He calls it a "hedging strategy," and Miller quotes him in her notes: "If we find it, fine, if not, we hedged." Miller feels that Libby is trying to use the interview to set up a conflict between the White House and the CIA. He says that reports suggesting senior administration officials may have selectively used some intelligence reports to bolster their claims about Iraq while ignoring others are "highly distorted." The thrust of his conversation, Miller will later testify (see September 30, 2005), is to try to blame the CIA for the intelligence failures leading up to the Iraq invasion. The CIA is now trying to "hedge" its earlier assessments, Libby says. He accuses it of waging what he calls a "perverted war" against the White House over the issue, and is clearly angry that it failed to, in his view, share its "doubts about Iraq intelligence." He tells Miller, "No briefer came in [after the State of the Union address] and said, 'You got it wrong, Mr. President.'" Joseph Wilson and 'Valerie Flame' - Libby refers to "a clandestine guy," meaning Wilson, and tells Miller that Cheney "didn't know" about him, attempting to disassociate Cheney from any responsibility for Wilson's trip. In her notes, Miller writes, "wife works in bureau?" and she will later testify that she is sure Libby is referring to the CIA. In her notes, she also writes the words "Valerie Flame," a misspelled reference to Wilson's wife. [New York Times, 10/16/2005; Vanity Fair, 4/2006; Unger, 2007, pp. 310; MSNBC, 2/21/2007] No Story from Interview - Miller does not write a story based on the conversation with Libby. [New York Times, 10/16/2005; New York Times, 10/16/2005] Libby a 'Good-Faith Source' - Miller will later recall Libby as being "a good-faith source who was usually straight with me." [New York Times, 10/16/2005] She will note that she was not accustomed to interviewing high-level White House officials such as him. For Miller, Libby was "a major figure" and "one of the most senior people I interviewed," she will say. "I never interviewed the vice president, never met the president, and have met Karl Rove only once. I operated at the wonk level. That is why all of this stuff that came later about my White House spin is such bullsh_t. I did not talk to these people.… Libby was not a social friend, like Richard Perle." [Vanity Fair, 4/2006] Initial Incorrect Dating by Times - In October, the New York Times will initially, and incorrectly, identify the date of this conversation as June 25.

The Library Lounge of the St. Regis Hotel, where Libby and Miller discussed the Wilsons. [Source: Starwood Hotels]Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, meets with New York Times reporter Judith Miller for breakfast at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, DC. Libby has already learned that Joseph Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, is an undercover CIA agent (see 12:00 p.m. June 11, 2003 and (June 12, 2003)). Again Reveals Plame Wilson's CIA Identity - During their two-hour meeting, Libby again tells Miller, who will testify to this conversation over two years hence (see September 30, 2005), that Wilson's wife is a CIA agent (see June 23, 2003), and this time tells Miller that she works with WINPAC, the CIA's Weapons Intelligence, Non-Proliferation, and Arms Control bureau that deals with foreign countries' WMD programs. Claims that Iraq Tried to Obtain African Uranium - Libby calls Wilson's Times op-ed (see July 14, 2003) inaccurate, and spends a considerable amount of time and energy both blasting Wilson and insisting that credible evidence of an Iraq-Niger uranium connection indeed exists. He also says that few in the CIA were ever aware of Wilson's 2002 trip to Niger to verify the uranium claims (see February 21, 2002-March 4, 2002). Miller will write: "Although I was interested primarily in my area of expertise—chemical and biological weapons—my notes show that Mr. Libby consistently steered our conversation back to the administration's nuclear claims. His main theme echoed that of other senior officials: that contrary to Mr. Wilson's criticism, the administration had had ample reason to be concerned about Iraq's nuclear capabilities based on the regime's history of weapons development, its use of unconventional weapons, and fresh intelligence reports." Libby gives Miller selected information from the classified National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq (NIE—see October 1, 2002) that he says backs up the administration's claims about Iraqi WMD and the Iraq-Niger uranium claim. That information will later be proven to be false: Cheney has instructed Libby to tell Miller that the uranium claim was part of the NIE's "key judgments," indicating that there was consensus on the claim's validity. That is untrue. The claim is not part of the NIE's key judgments, but is contained deeper in the document, surrounded by caveats such as the claims "cannot [be] confirm[ed]" and the evidence supporting the claim is "inconclusive." Libby does not inform Miller about these caveats. [New York Times, 10/16/2005; Dubose and Bernstein, 2006, pp. 216-217; Rich, 2006, pp. 183-184; Washington Post, 4/9/2006] In subsequent grand jury testimony (see March 24, 2004), Libby will admit to giving Miller a bulleted copy of the talking points from the NIE he wanted her to emphasize. He will tell prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald that he had it typed by his assistant Jenny Mayfield. "It was less than what I had been authorized to share with her," he will say, and describes it as about a third of a page in length. This document will either not be submitted into evidence in Libby's trial (see January 16-23, 2007) or not be made publicly available. [Marcy Wheeler, 2/22/2007] Libby Identified as 'Former Hill Staffer' and Not White House Official - Miller agrees to refer to Libby as a "former Hill staffer" instead of a "senior administration official" in any story she will write from this interview. Though technically accurate, that characterization, if it had been used, would misdirect people into believing the information came from someone with current or former connections to Congress, and not from the White House. Miller will not write a story from this interview. In later testimony before a grand jury, Libby will falsely claim that he learned of Plame Wilson's CIA identity "from reporters." The reverse is actually true. [New York Times, 10/16/2005; Dubose and Bernstein, 2006, pp. 216-217; Rich, 2006, pp. 183-184] Libby is also apparently aware of Wilson's 1999 trip to Niger to find out whether Pakistani scientist A. Q. Khan had tried to procure Nigerien uranium (see Late February 1999), as Libby's notes include the notation "Khan + Wilson?" Cheney's chief lawyer, David Addington, has also asked Libby about Wilson's 1999 trip. [Wilson, 2007, pp. 361-362] Libby has authorization from Cheney to leak classified information to Miller, and understands that the authorization comes directly from President Bush (see 7:35 a.m. July 8, 2003). It is unclear whether Libby has authorization from Cheney or Bush to divulge Plame Wilson's CIA identity. Miller Learned Plame Wilson Identity from Libby - Miller will later testify that she did not learn Plame Wilson's identity specifically from Libby, but that testimony will be undermined by the words "Valerie Flame" (an apparent misspelling) written in her notes of this meeting. She will also testify that she pushed, without success, for her editors to approve an article about Plame Wilson's identity. [New York Times, 10/16/2005]

Lewis Libby, the chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney, confirms to Time reporter Matthew Cooper that Valerie Plame Wilson is a CIA officer. Libby has been in regular communication with senior White House officials, including political strategist Karl Rove, to discuss how to discredit Plame Wilson's husband, war critic Joseph Wilson. On July 11, the two spoke privately after a staff meeting. According to later testimony from both Rove and Libby, Rove told Libby that he had spoken to columnist Robert Novak on July 9 (see July 8 or 9, 2003), and that Novak would soon write a column about Plame Wilson (see July 14, 2003). Today, Libby joins Cheney and others flying to and from Norfolk, Virginia, aboard Air Force Two; on the return trip, Libby discusses with the others what he should say in response to media inquiries about Wilson's recent column (see July 6, 2003 and July 12, 2003). After returning to Washington, Libby calls Cooper, a reporter for Time magazine, who has already learned from Rove that Plame Wilson is a CIA officer (see July 8, 2003 and 11:00 a.m. July 11, 2003). According to Libby's 2005 indictment (see October 28, 2005), "Libby confirmed to Cooper, without elaboration or qualification, that he had heard this information, too," that Plame Wilson was CIA. [National Journal, 3/30/2006] Libby speaks "on the record" to deny that Cheney had anything to do with the CIA's decision to send Joseph Wilson to Niger (see July 6, 2003, 8:45 a.m. July 7, 2003, 9:22 a.m. July 7, 2003, July 7-8, 2003, and July 8, 2003). On background, Cooper asks Libby if he knows anything about Wilson's wife being responsible for sending him to Niger. Libby replies, "Yeah, I've heard that too." [Cooper, 7/12/2003 ; Cooper, 7/12/2003 ; United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, 12/8/2004 ; Time, 7/17/2005; US District Court for the District of Columbia, 10/28/2005 ] Cheney's communications director Cathie Martin and Libby's aide Jenny Mayfield are present for Libby's call to Cooper. [US District Court for the District of Columbia, 10/30/2006 ] Later this afternoon, Libby phones New York Times reporter Judith Miller and discusses Plame Wilson's CIA status (see Late Afternoon, July 12, 2003).

New York Times reporter Judith Miller again speaks to Lewis Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, in regards to the Iraqi WMD controversy and the recent op-ed by former ambassador Joseph Wilson (see July 6, 2003). In Miller's notes, she writes the words "Victoria Wilson." Libby has twice informed Miller that Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, is a CIA agent (see June 23, 2003 and 8:30 a.m. July 8, 2003). Miller Unsure of Details of Disclosure - In testimony about the interview two years later (see September 30, 2005), Miller will say that "before this [telephone] call, I might have called others about Mr. Wilson's wife. In my notebook I had written the words 'Victoria Wilson' with a box around it, another apparent reference to Ms. Plame, who is also known as Valerie Wilson. I [testified] that I was not sure whether Mr. Libby had used this name or whether I just made a mistake in writing it on my own. Another possibility, I said, is that I gave Mr. Libby the wrong name on purpose to see whether he would correct me and confirm her identity." In her testimony, Miller will say that at the time, she believed she had heard Wilson's wife only referred to by her maiden name of Plame. When asked whether Libby gave her the name of Wilson, Miller will decline to speculate. Criticizing Plame Wilson's Husband - During their conversation, Libby quickly turns the subject to criticism of Wilson, saying he is not sure if Wilson actually spoke to anyone who had knowledge of Iraq's attempts to negotiate trade agreements with Niger. After Miller agrees to attribute the conversation to "an administration official," and not Libby himself, Libby explains that the reference to the Iraqi attempt to buy uranium from Niger in President Bush's State of the Union address—the so-called "sixteen words" (see 9:01 pm January 28, 2003)—was the product of what Miller will call "a simple miscommunication between the White House and the CIA." 'Newsworthy' Disclosure - Miller will later testify that at the time, she felt it "newsworthy" that Wilson's wife was a CIA agent, and recommended to her editors that the Times pursue the angle. She will write: "I felt that since the Times had run Mr. Wilson's original essay, it had an obligation to explore any allegation that undercut his credibility. At the same time, I added, I also believed that the newspaper needed to pursue the possibility that the White House was unfairly attacking a critic of the administration."

Valerie Plame Wilson, the former CIA agent whose undercover status was blown by a White House leak of her identity (see July 14, 2003), sues Vice President Dick Cheney, White House aide Karl Rove, and former White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby. Plame Wilson accuses them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career as a CIA operative as well as conspiring to besmirch the reputation and integrity of her husband, former ambassador Joseph Wilson, who is also part of the lawsuit. The suit does not specify monetary damages to be assessed. [Associated Press, 7/13/2006; New York Times, 7/14/2006; Washington Post, 7/3/2007] The Wilsons will later add former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage (see June 13, 2003 and July 8, 2003) to the suit. [Associated Press, 5/17/2007] Alleges Constitutional, Civil Rights Violations - The lawsuit claims that Cheney, Rove, Libby, and 10 yet-to-be-named government officials—named "John Does 1-10" in the lawsuit—violated the Wilsons' First Amendment rights to free speech, their Fifth Amendment rights to equal protection under the law, and their right to privacy and property. The suit alleges that the defendants conspired to deprive the Wilsons of their civil rights, as well as charging the defendants with neglecting to prevent civil rights violations, public disclosure of private facts, and civil conspiracy. (The "John Doe" defendants will be included when the Wilsons learn who else was involved.) The Wilsons file their lawsuit one day before the statute of limitations would have expired on any such lawsuit. In 2007, Plame Wilson will write that her husband had talked of such a lawsuit since her outing in 2003, but she had consistently avoided the idea. "I got angry, defensive, and emotional," she will recall. "I didn't want to talk about it; the leak was still too raw for me and I wasn't ready yet to think rationally through what such an action would mean." But when Plame Wilson began to come to terms with the ramifications of the leak to her personal and professional life, she "began to tally up the costs of the campaign to smear Joe and to out me carelessly: the near destruction of Joe's reputation and his consulting business, the end of my career, the wholesale invasion of our privacy, threats to our physical security, the chronic level of stress that had adversely affected our health in myriad ways, and two small children wondering why their parents were fighting again. A lawsuit couldn't completely remedy the situation, but to me, it began to look more appealing." [US District Court for the District of Columbia, 7/13/2006 ; New York Times, 7/14/2006; Wilson, 2007, pp. 252-254] Trying to Accomplish Three Things in Lawsuit - In discussing the idea, the Wilsons decided that the lawsuit could possibly accomplish three things: Finding the truth behind what Plame Wilson calls "the erroneous 16 words about the uranium from Niger" and how they made it into President Bush's 2003 State of the Union speech (see Mid-January 2003 and 9:01 pm January 28, 2003); Holding "government officials accountable for actions that might be illegal or unconstitutional"; and Serving "as a deterrent to future public servants who might think they are above the law." [US District Court for the District of Columbia, 7/13/2006 ; Wilson, 2007, pp. 252-254] Rove: Allegations 'without Merit' - Rove spokesman Mark Corallo says, "Without even having had a chance to review the complaint, it is clear that the allegations are absolutely and utterly without merit." [Associated Press, 7/13/2006] Rove's lawyer Robert Luskin gives a similar statement to the press: "The allegations are without merit. We may comment further when we have an opportunity to review the complaint." [New York Times, 7/14/2006] 'Exposing Administration Wrongdoing' - With the continuing attempts from the White House and conservative elements in the media to downplay and/or rewrite the history of the leak (see July 13, 2006), Plame Wilson will write, "Our civil suit seemed to be the only means by which we could expose the administration's wrongdoing." [Wilson, 2007, pp. 252-254] Problems with Lawsuit - The lawsuit will face difficulties in bringing the law to bear against Cheney and Rove. The basis for suing federal officials is a 1982 Supreme Court case that says federal officials may be sued for violating someone's constitutional rights if a reasonable person would believe they had violated "clearly established law." The Libby investigation has not yet produced solid evidence that there was a deliberate, illegal effort to leak Plame Wilson's identity. [New York Times, 7/14/2006]

Former ambassador Joseph Wilson asks Judge Reggie Walton not to compel his testimony in the Lewis Libby perjury and obstruction trial. Libby's lawyers have subpoenaed Wilson, whose wife, Valerie Plame Wilson, was exposed as a CIA official by White House officials, including Libby (see June 23, 2003, 8:30 a.m. July 8, 2003, 2:24 p.m. July 12, 2003, and Late Afternoon, July 12, 2003). Libby's lawyer, William Jeffress, has told the court that he has no intention of putting Wilson on the stand, and that the subpoena is merely a "precautionary" move. For his part, Wilson accuses Libby of trying to harass him from the courtroom. "Mr. Libby should not be permitted to compel Mr. Wilson's testimony at trial either for the purpose of harassing Mr. Wilson or to gain an advantage in the civil case," Wilson's attorneys tell the court. [Associated Press, 12/20/2006] Wilson is referring to the lawsuit he and his wife have filed against Libby and other Bush administration officials (see July 13, 2006). He will not testify in the trial.

Study: Math Success Aided by Knowing Facts, Freeing Working Memory
Dr. Kathy Mann, working for the National Institutes of Health, has discovered that children's brains reorganize as they are learning math. That means experience does matter and drilling children at home on simple addition and multiplication really could pay off in the long run, says Lauren Neergaard writing for the Associated Press.
Children start making the switch from counting in their heads or using fingers to "fact retrieval" at about 8 0r 9 years-old. How well they make the transition from this to memory-based problem-solving will ultimately predict their math mastery. If a child does not make the transition well, they can have difficulties or a slow pace in their math learning down the line.
The question then becomes, what makes the transition difficult for some children?
That is what Stanford researchers wanted to know, and they began the quest by using a brain-scanning MRI on 28 children while they solved simple addition problems. When the children saw a math calculation such as 6+1=7, they were instructed to push a button to signal whether the answer was correct or incorrect.
What the researchers were looking for was how quickly they responded and which regions of the brain lit up when they responded. The scientists met with the students again and observed the children to see if they moved their lips or counted on their fingers and compared the brain data. The students were tested again about one year later. As the subjects got older, their answers were based more on memory, the answers were faster and more accurate, and the changes showed in the brain.
The part of the brain that relays information when new data come in – short-term working memory – and then sends it to the longer-term memory area where it is stored for retrieval is the hippocampus.
"The stronger the connections, the greater each individual's ability to retrieve facts from memory," said Dr. Vinod Menon, a psychiatry professor at Stanford and the study's senior author.
When Menon put 20 adult and 20 adolescents in the MRI he found that the hippocampus hardly came into play, and answers were practically automatic from long-term storage. The brain becomes much more efficient over time. When your brain can solve simple math quickly and easily, it has more working memory free to process more difficult math.
"The study provides new evidence that this experience with math actually changes the hippocampal patterns, or the connections. They become more stable with skill development," she said. "So learning your addition and multiplication tables and having them in rote memory helps."
These findings probably carry over to other subject areas. One example is that children who learn to match the sounds of letters with the letters themselves learn to read more quickly. Researchers hope to be able to study why this system does not work for students with math learning disabilities.
The study, from the Stanford University of Medicine, was published this month online at Nature and Neuroscience. Erin Digitale of the medical school's Office of Communication & Public Affairs said some of the findings were a bit of a surprise to the researches.
"It was surprising to us that the hippocampal and prefrontal contributions to memory-based problem-solving during childhood don't look anything like what we would have expected for the adult brain," said postdoctoral scholar Shaozheng Qin, PhD, who is the paper's lead author.
ZeeNews of India quotes Dr. Menon:
"This work provides insight into the dynamic changes that occur over the course of cognitive development in each child," said Vinod Menon, a professor of psychiatry and behavioural sciences and the senior author of the study.
"The hippocampus provides a scaffold for learning and consolidating facts into long-term memory in children," Menon added.

Two brothers raised in Boulder, CO, who diverged to different parts of the country to explore their individual musical interests, would soon realize they were meant to play and write music together. As older brother Oliver says "This is the first record that really feels like a band record. It's taken years for us to really feel like we can collaborate, and I think this is the pinnacle of it so far."
I have been listening to these guys for awhile and feel "The Muse" is an absolute beautiful rendition of Oliver's writing and the bands musical cohesiveness. Its sure to get the empty mind rolling on the open road, and this video captures their writing with imagery and tone. Enjoy!

Last week I was honoured to fly to Beijing, China, to meet the team at Beijing Sports University (BSU).
This was on the back of a grant Sports Physiotherapy Australia (SPA) and Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) have received to promote the voice of Australian sports medicine into Asia. BSU asked me to present at the symposium on sporting conditions to an audience including Track & Field coaches, and medical staff. I presented on hamstring injuries in Track & Field, and FAI (femoroacetabular impingement). IT was interesting having an interpreter for the talk - my English was translated into Mandarin for the audience.
The university is MASSIVE - and has every facility you could imagine. Dozens of basketball courts, hundreds of treadmills and bikes, etc.
Thanks to Professor Wang Anli and the team at BSU for having me as their guest. Sports Medicine in China has a HUGE future - they are aiming to grow their sports industry to twice the size of what the US is now - wow!
The day after my presentation at the symposium I was able to see some of the sites of China, including the Great Wall, The Forbidden City and Tiananmen square.
