The inquiry in which you will be able to take part has the aim of providing a more precise definition for the experiences gathered under the vague expression "modernization". And especially one that is more acceptable to those other civilisations that have also been subject to the same discovery: that there is no Earth where we can modernize "the way we used to". So we have to think again what we mean by this term while both retaining the inheritance of the modernization project and composing it in a quite new way.
The inquiry is based on the delicate extraction of a series of "values"—a deliberately outdated term—which the Moderns say they hold dear. But without ever being sure what these values mean, and how they can all be endorsed at the same time while respecting their differences and being wary of their tendency to crush other ones.
To establish these differences, we have prepared a very simple little protocol that begins with the experience produced when there is a clash between two values. This clash is felt each time one value is judged using the instrumentation coming from another value. We will make a collection of such incidents by creating a database of what we will call "crossings" because they will allow two types of judgement to emerge.
types of veridiction
The practice of gathering such documentation over time begins to produce the impression that it is possible, bit by bit, to distinguish types of incompatible truths. At first this seems, disconcertingly, to lead to full-on "relativism". Except if one notices that each type of veridiction—the term permits the avoidance of the overloaded word "truth"—is the expression of an encounter with forms of existence that are very different from one another. The inquiry aims to set out the diversity of these different forms. This is why we are really dealing with an anthropology of the Moderns. We want to do for them what they did for other cultures. Except that it was quite difficult to understand the others in the absence of a description of ourselves that was in some small way realistic…
modes of existence
It is these forms we are calling "modes of existence", a banal label, but it has a special meaning here. When one speaks normally about the mode of existence of some group or individual, one refers to their customs, their mode of being, their ethology, their habitat in some way, their feeling for a place. In this inquiry, we are keeping all the connotations of the phrase, but we are giving the two terms "mode" and "existence" stronger meanings that don't direct attention towards human groups or individuals, but towards the beings about which humans are interrogating themselves. The word "being" should not be unsettling: it is another way of replying to the question, "What, for example, is the law, or religion, or science?" "What is important to you?" and "How can I talk about this properly with you?"
So far we have identified fifteen of these modes of existence. First, we would like to know if the values we have identified correspond, or not, to readers' experiences. But then we would like to know if the account we have given of this is acceptable, and if it is not—which is very likely—how we can change it, and on the basis of what documents. Finally, we would like to know if it is possible to propose an alternative to the quite vague term "modernization".
So, how will we proceed? By proposing three stages: that of the readers, that of the co-researchers, and that of the negotiators.

Shocking Health Tips on Skincare to Vajayjays!
Boy, have I got some great info to share with ya! These health topics are HOT and in no way normal, which is why I like 'em and can't wait to hear your thoughts. So be sure to comment on what you like, dislike or just can't imagine doing (in the comments section at the end). Before I start, full disclosure... I've tried and tested the skincare tips ONLY. The rest, I'm very open to but have not yet tried only because the treatments were not made available to me. For the record, I did ask. But since all these topics are trending, I feel it's my duty to spread the word. As a human guinea pig (which I commonly call myself), I'm pretty much game to try anything. So you never know what I'll stick into my feet or up my vajayjay tomorrow! That was meant to be a joke...kind of. Hope you laughed. Watch the video above (click the image) or keep reading for more detailed info than I was able to provide in 4-minutes on the Great Day St. Louis show. I promise you it's worth the...

Oxycodone treats moderate to severe pain. May cause stomach upset and taking it with food may help. May also cause constipation.
Oxycodone Overview
Oxycodone is a prescription medication used to treat moderate to severe pain. This medication belongs to a group of drugs called opioids which work by stopping pain signals made in the brain.
Oxycodone comes in several forms including tablets, capsules, oral solution (liquid), extended-release tablets, and extended-release capsules. It is also found in combination with other medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and aspirin.
The dose and how often you will take oxycodone will vary depending on the formulation you have been prescribed as well as many other factors. Your dose will be individualized to you.
Swallow extended-release tablets and capsules whole. Do not crush extended-release forms.
Common side effects of oxycodone include constipation, nausea, drowsiness, and dizziness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how it affects you.

Oxycodone Precautions
Serious side effects have been reported with oxycodone including the following:
Addiction, Abuse, Misuse. There is a chance of abuse or addiction with oxycodone. The chance is higher if you are or have been addicted to or abused other medicines, street drugs, or alcohol, or if you have a history of mental problems.
Serious breathing problems (Respiratory Depression). Oxycodone can cause serious breathing problems that can become life-threatening, especially in patients with chronic lung disease, elderly patients, or disabled patients. Increased risk if oxycodone is used the wrong way. Call your healthcare provider right away if:
- your breathing slows down
- you have shallow breathing (little chest movement with breathing)
- you feel faint, dizzy, confused, or
- you have any other unusual symptoms
Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome in Infants. Oxycodone can cause harm, potentially death, to the baby if administered to pregnant women.
Adrenal Insufficiency (adrenal glands don't make enough of these hormones). Adrenal insufficiency is confirmed, your doctor will give you steroids and slowly decrease you oxycodone dose.
Severe Low Blood Pressure. Oxycodone can cause your blood pressure to drop. This can make you feel dizzy and faint if you get up too fast from sitting or lying down. Low blood pressure is also more likely to happen if you take other medicines that can also lower your blood pressure. Severe low blood pressure can happen if you lost blood or take certain other medicines.
Risk of Use in Patients with Increased Intracranial Pressure. Patients with brain tumors, head injury, coma, or impaired consciousness are at an increased risk of sedation or respiratory problems while taking oxycodone.
Risk of Use in Patients with Seizure Disorders. Oxycodone can increase the frequency of seizures.
Withdrawals. Do not stop oxycodone without first talking to your healthcare provider. Stopping oxycodone suddenly may cause serious symptoms including:
- anxiety
- sweating
- insomnia
- shaking/shivering
- pain
- nausea
- diarrhea
- upper airway symptoms
- goosebumps
Get emergency medical help if you have: trouble breathing, shortness of breath, fast heartbeat, chest pain, swelling of your face, tongue, or throat, extreme drowsiness, lightheadedness when changing positions, feeling faint, agitation, high body temperature, trouble walking, stiff muscles, or mental changes such as confusion.
Never give anyone else your medication. They could die from taking it. Store this medication away from children and in a safe place to prevent stealing or abuse. Selling or giving away oxycodone is against the law.
Do not drive, operate heavy machinery, or participate in any other possibly dangerous activities until you know how you react to this medicine. This medication can make you sleepy.
Do not drink alcohol while using oxycodone. It may increase the chance of getting dangerous side effects.
Do not take other medicines without your doctor's approval. Other medicines include prescription and non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and supplements. Be especially careful about products that make you sleepy.
Do not take oxycodone if
- your doctor did not prescribe it for you
- are allergic to any of its ingredients
- have had a severe allergic reaction to a medicine that contains oxycodone. Ask your healthcare provider if you are not sure.
- are having an asthma attack or have severe asthma, trouble breathing, or any lung problems
- have a bowel blockage called paralytic ileus
- have recently had a head injury

Oxycodone and Pregnancy
Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
There are no well-done studies that have been done in humans with oxycodone. Prolonged use of this medication during pregnancy can cause withdrawal symptoms in your newborn baby that could be life-threatening if not recognized and treated.
Oxycodone and Lactation
Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
Oxycodone has been detected in human breast milk. Because of the possibility for adverse reactions in nursing infants from oxycodone, a choice should be made whether to stop nursing or to stop the use of this medication. The importance of the drug to the mother should be considered.
Oxycodone Usage
Take oxycodone exactly as prescribed. Follow the directions carefully.
Do not change your dose without talking to your healthcare provider. Use the lowest dose possible for the shortest time needed.
Oxycodone comes as a tablet, a capsule, in an oral solution, an extended-release tablet, and an extended-release capsule.
Extended-release tablets and capsules should be swallowed whole. Do not break, crush, or chew extended-release tablets or capsules. If you cannot swallow the extended-release capsules, then the contents of the capsules may be sprinkled on soft food, sprinkled into a cup and then put directly into the mouth, or given through a nasogastric or gastrostomy tube. The instructions for use will vary depending on which form of the medication you have been prescribed.
Oxycodone may cause stomach upset. Taking it with food may help.
Oxycodone Dosage
Take oxycodone exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully.
The dose and how often you will take oxycodone will vary depending on the formulation you have been prescribed as well as many other factors. One factor is if you were taking an opioid already, which one, and at what dose. Your dose will also depend on how well it has been controlling your pain.
Your dose will be individualized to you which will be determined by your doctor.
Oxycodone Overdose
If you take more oxycodone than prescribed, or overdose, call your local emergency number (such as 911) or your local Poison Control Center right away, or get emergency help.
Other Requirements
- Keep oxycodone out of the reach of children. Accidental overdose by a child is dangerous and can lead to death.
- Store oxycodone at 59˚F to 86˚F (15˚C to 30˚C).
- Keep oxycodone in the container it comes in.
- Keep the container tightly closed and away from light.
Oxycodone is a federally controlled substance (CII) because it can be abused or lead to dependence. Keep this medication in a safe place to prevent misuse and abuse. Selling or giving away oxycodone may harm others, and is against the law.
Oxycodone FDA Warning
WARNING: ADDICTION, ABUSE, AND MISUSE; LIFE-THREATENING RESPIRATORY DEPRESSION; ACCIDENTAL INGESTION; NEONATAL OPIOID WITHDRAWAL SYNDROME; and CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 INTERACTION
- Oxycodone exposes users to risks of addiction, abuse, and misuse, which can lead to overdose and death. Assess each patient's risk before prescribing and monitor regularly for development of these behaviors and conditions.
- Serious, life-threatening, or fatal respiratory depression may occur. Monitor closely, especially upon initiation or following a dose increase.
- Accidental ingestion of oxycodone, especially by children, can result in fatal overdose of oxycodone.
- Prolonged maternal use of oxycodone during pregnancy can result in neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome, which may be lifethreatening if not recognized and treated. If prolonged opioid use is required in a pregnant woman, advise the patient of the risk of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome and ensure that appropriate treatment will be available.
- Concomitant use with CYP3A4 inhibitors (or discontinuation of CYP3A4 inducers) can result in a fatal overdose of oxycodone.

According to the findings of a study by KLA, a market research and data specialist firm, some 47% of South African adults are holders of cryptocurrency, with the majority of this number holding low-value investments. In addition, the study shows that 36% plan to invest in crypto in the future.
South Africans Still Experimenting With Cryptocurrency
Though the KLA findings report that 47% of South Africans are holders, the Businesstech report quoting KLA's Tessa Nowosenetz explains the value of crypto assets held is still very low. This low average value suggests that many are still trying to understand crypto. To emphasize this point, Nowosenetz said:
While this percentage is high, the amount invested is low. This indicates that the bulk of South African crypto investors are experimenting and dabbling without making a significant financial commitment.
According to the study's findings, 25% of respondents that hold cryptocurrency have between $7 and $70 (or between 100 and 1,000 rands) invested in digital assets. Fewer South Africans — about 13% of the respondents — are holders of cryptocurrencies that are valued between $70 and $700.
Only three percent of the respondents said they own digital currencies whose value is in excess of $3,400. Still, despite having a significant number of people that hold cryptocurrencies, a majority of South Africans (53%) are not crypto holders, the study found.
Many Attracted by Quick Gains
Businesstech notes that despite their cautious crypto investment approach, many South Africans remain curious and are "interested in learning the ropes while engaging in a trial." The report notes however that many are venturing into crypto because they are interested in making "a quick gain." Nowosenetz explained:
The main appeal and advantage of crypto is the perception that there is an opportunity to make considerable gains on your investment in the short-term, with 43% stating this as their main reason for interest in crypto.
The report also reveals that about 20% of those that are dabbling into cryptocurrency are doing so because they want to diversify their portfolio. On the other hand, some 16% of the respondents said they are interested in using or trading cryptocurrencies because "everyone can do it." The study shows that 36% plan to invest in crypto in the future and that only four percent of the respondents list the lack of regulation as their prime reason for choosing to hold cryptocurrencies.

Growing up in and around the water, Joe Romeiro developed a love for the ocean at a young age. After seeing his first shark when he was just 5 years old, he has been captivated by them ever since. A self-taught filmmaker, he founded 333 Productions in 2007 with fellow producer & shark conservationist Bill Fisher. Since then, 333 Productions has created four award-winning films, "Silent Requiem", "Death of a Deity", "A Lateral Line" and "Shark Culture".
Most notable awards received include: the prestigious Blue Ocean Film Festival's "Best New Filmmaker" and "Best New Cinematographer" in 2009, ADEX "Underwater Video of the Year Award" in 2010, and the "Ocean Inspiration Award" in 2011, awarded by a panel of esteemed judges and industry professionals in a video competition sponsored by Celine Cousteau, honoring the life of her Grandfather, Jacques Cousteau.
As Joe pursues his quest to travel the world to capture the images of sharks in ways that no one else has, he portrays them as beautiful creatures that are an important and critical element of our oceans eco-system. He has worked with renowned film and television media industry professionals, marine biologists and shark behaviorists to bring to light little known shark actions and activities that astound audiences worldwide, bringing that enduring and indelible 333 Productions touch.
His mission: to protect sharks by educating and dispelling the myths surrounding them through film and through personal interaction.
A member of the Explorers Club and Ocean Artists Society, his work has been featured on Discovery Networks, National Geographic, and various other T.V. productions.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) created many of the password best practices you probably loathe — using a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters. The NIST now says those guidelines were ill-advised and has changed its stance. Find out why and what this means for you.
The problem
The issue isn't that the NIST advised people to create easy-to-crack passwords, but their previous advice inadvertently made people create weak passwords using predictable capitalization, special characters, and numbers, like "P@ssW0rd1."
Such a password may seem secure, but the strings of characters and numbers could easily be compromised by hackers using common algorithms.
What's more, the NIST also recommended that people change their passwords regularly, but did not specify how and when to change them. Since many people thought their passwords were already secure because they've included special characters in them, most only added or changed one character.
The NIST essentially forced everyone to use passwords that are hard for humans to remember but easy for a hacker's algorithm to crack.
Eventually, the institution admitted that this can cause more problems than solutions. It has reversed its stance on organizational password management requirements, and is now recommending banishing forced periodic password changes and getting rid of complexity requirements.
The solution
Security consultant Frank Abagnale and Chief Hacking Officer for KnowBe4 Kevin Mitnick both see a future without passwords. Both security experts advise enterprises to implement multifactor authentication in login policies.
This requires a user to present two valid credentials aside from a password to gain access to an account. This could be a code sent to the account owner's smartphone, a login prompt on a mobile device, or a facial or a fingerprint scan. This way, hackers' login efforts are futile unless they fulfill the succeeding security requirements.
Moreover, Mitnick recommended implementing long passphrases of 25 characters or more, such as "recedemarmaladecrockplacate" or "cavalryfigurineunderdoneexalted." These are much more difficult to guess and less prone to hacking. As for the frequency of changing passphrases, it will depend on a company's risk tolerance.
Simply put, passwords should be longer and include nonsensical phrases and English words that make it almost impossible for an automated system to crack.
You should also enforce the following security solutions within your company:
- Single sign-on – allows users to securely access multiple accounts with one set of credentials
- Account monitoring tools – recognizes suspicious activity and locks out hackers
When it comes to security, ignorance is your business's kryptonite. If you'd like to learn about what else you can do to remain secure, just give us a call.

Crabbing in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska is grueling and dangerous - 20-hour shifts, rough seas, jackhammering tons of ice off the boat. But now the industry has another challenge - a huge population drop in historically lucrative snow crab. Scientists think that one significant driver is likely climate change. Hal Bernton of The Seattle Times has covered the fishing industry for decades. He went out on a crab boat in the Bering Sea this winter to observe how these changes are affecting crabbers. He joins us now to share his reporting. Thanks for being here.
HAL BERNTON: Hello.
RASCOE: The snow crab population in the Bering Sea has been dropping. How long has this decline been happening and, like, by how much has it declined?
BERNTON: Well, it was actually quite abrupt. There was an intense period of warming in the Bering Sea in the winters, where the ice was in a great deal of retreat. In the summer, the temperatures rose very high in 2018 and 2019. Last summer, the federal scientists did their annual surveys, and they were just stunned by what they found because more than 99% of the young females, the juveniles that they had found just two years earlier, weren't there. And overall, population of all sizes and ages of crab were down, and the harvest was cut by nearly 90% for this year to just 5.6 million pounds.
RASCOE: And so the scientists that you spoke to for this story are still trying to understand exactly what happened. But there's evidence that this is happening, at least in part, due to warm waters and, as you talked about, the lack of sea ice. Why would that affect the snow crab population?
BERNTON: Well, it's really interesting what happens. The Bering Sea winter ice, as it forms and as it melts, helps to create this very cold pool along the sea bottom. And the snow crab - they do fine in this very cold water. But a lot of things that like to eat them, like Pacific cod, don't like that water so much. And so it offers them a kind of refuge. And when the cold pool largely disappeared in 2018 and then 2019, scientists believe that the cod and other predators were able to eat up a lot more snow crab.
Some of the other issues that were raised were possible increase in disease among the crab when the temperatures were so warm. Some crab may have moved, although they don't think that accounts for all of it. But it is for sure true that the best crabbing now lies much further to the north. This winter was not particularly warm. It was also a hopeful sign to the fishermen that there might be at least a short-term rebound in the snow crab that their livelihoods have depended on.
RASCOE: How is it affecting the bottom line? Like, for the crew that you went out with, how is their business being affected?
BERNTON: Well, last year was a relatively good year. There was a relatively strong harvest. Prices were high, and they made good money. This year, of course, it's a much different story, and part of how they'll fare financially depends on what will happen with the final settlements over the price of crab.
But I must say, it's kind of a more existential thing for these guys. This has been their lives for many years, at least the boat that I went out on, and they're really wondering, what is the future? Will the crab come back, or will, eventually, the retreat of the sea ice in the decades ahead, or even in the years ahead, strike such a blow that the crab won't come back in the way that they would hope?
RASCOE: Shellfish biologists told you they expect it would take, like, a string of good ice years for snow crabs to rebound. Do we think that we will have enough good ice years for snow crabs to rebound?
BERNTON: Well, I think that the next few years, there's a lot of uncertainty about both what will happen with the winters - maybe we'll have a string of good ice years - and what will happen with the crab. Unfortunately, the forecasts for mid-century, where climate change footprint becomes stronger, are not as promising for the snow crab because the best forecasts are that the winter ice will be greatly diminished by the mid-century. Maybe over the short term, we can have another bounce back of the snow crab. And that's certainly what they're hoping for.
RASCOE: That's Hal Bernton, reporter with The Seattle Times. His reporting on the Bering Sea snow crabs was done in partnership with the Anchorage Daily News and the Pulitzer Center. Thanks, Hal.
BERNTON: Thank you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A new industry report predicts big gains for Bitcoin Cash matched by like declines in Ethereum as 2018 moves through late spring.
Report Expects BCH to Reach $2000 by May
The report titled Cryptocurrencies: Past, Present, and Future in which researchers claim to have used a combination of historical data and a "data-driven algorithm" has resulted in some very optimistic predictions for the near future of Bitcoin Cash while calling for grim times ahead for Ethereum, saying it "will plummet by more than $237 per unit in the next month or so." as reported by the Express.
2018 has been a rough start for cryptocurrencies across the board as the market feels the repercussions from the success and fears generated by the dramatic rise and fall in prices at the cusp of the new year. Confusion over regulation and warnings that the cryptomarket is an empty bubble have taken their toll on all of the top trading tokens but Ethereum may have suffered the most having lost around 70% of its value since it's high mark of $1,338.67 in December.
Callum Blanchard a cryptocurrency data specialist for Cryptocurrency: Past, Present, and Future told the UK's Express newspaper that he wasn't surprised by the findings saying that though Ether had been one of Bitcoin's main competitors because of its ability to allow blocks to be created quicker, investors today are looking for more unique features than ever.
"Ethereum originally stood out for allowing 'blocks' to be created quicker, but compare that to the likes of Bitcoin Cash, or even for transaction speed – Ripple and Litecoin – and suddenly even that isn't so unique anymore."
Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum Serve Different Purposes
What Mr. Blanchard doesn't consider is that Bitcoin Cash and Ethereum were developed for very different purposes and that comparing them is apples to oranges. While both cryptocurrencies are based on the principle of distributed ledgers and cryptography they use different programming languages, have different block times and use different builds.
More to the point while Bitcoin Cash was created to increase the transaction speed of its predecessor, Bitcoin, so that it could be more readily used as a substitute for cash, ETH was developed as a vehicle to facilitate peer to peer contracts and applications on the Ethereum platform. The main purpose of Ether is not to act as a payment alternative but to enable developers to build and run distributed applications (dApps).
An argument that the success of Bitcoin Cash leads to the continued decline of Ether is a specious comparison even if the two compete for investors in the same market. While those interested in investing in the future of Ethereum will be looking at what unique services are developing for the platform, those buying BCH are looking for a currency that can be used not only to store value but that can be used to buy a cup of coffee as well.

Here at Slack, we strive to make work simpler, more pleasant and more productive. But to truly change the global workplace, that mission extends far beyond us. That's why, five years ago, we started the Slack Fund, devoted to investing in companies creating that future.
We created the Slack Fund in partnership with Accel, Index Ventures, KPCB, Social Capital, Andreessen Horowitz and Spark Capital. Initially we saw it as an opportunity to fund, mentor and partner with early-stage companies with products that helped make Slack a better platform.
Now we're investing from our second fund, which doubled in size to $50 million and is funded solely by Slack. We have more than 85 investments across North America and Europe, including companies like performance management software Lattice, knowledge management solution Guru and digital whiteboard Mural.
"The mission of the fund is to invest in and collaborate with the next great wave of enterprise software companies that are focused on building what the future of work will be."
We've made follow-on investments in 23 companies, including online events platform Hopin, whose funding we participated in at seed, Series A and Series B rounds. We've also seen many successful exits, including from our friends at the Slack-first ticketing service Halp, the company intelligence platform DataFox, and the security orchestration, automation and response platform Demisto.
"As a Slack Fund company," says Rick Nucci, the co-founder and CEO of Guru, "we've been able to work very closely with Slack on many platform development efforts, collaborating with them on what critical integrations might look like and being able to support new product releases together."
That partnership is not unique to just Guru, either. Amy Spurling, co-founder and CEO of perk stipend software company Compt, says, "Not only did the team make the investment process really smooth, but they have been like new members to our team."
"The Slack Fund made valuable introductions to potential partners, customers, and future investors. I couldn't ask for more from a partner."
The Slack Fund's new approach to investing
With our early investments, we set out to co-create a thriving ecosystem that seeds innovative new services and helps them grow into lasting companies. We were small; it seemed like a good idea; and, suffice it to say, it worked.
"We built a great partnership and product integration that our customers love," says Jack Altman, the co-founder and CEO of Lattice. "Beyond that, [the Slack team] helped make tons of helpful investor introductions over the years that helped lead to our growth rounds."
These days, the Slack ecosystem is thriving. We have more than 2,400 custom apps and 820,000 daily active registered developers continually collaborating on Slack. It happens at companies like Donut, built specifically to integrate with Slack. Slack has been essential in its journey, and every improvement to Donut—like the newest feature, Watercooler—is, in many ways, an improvement to Slack.
"Ever since investing in our seed round, Slack has been one of our most helpful investors."
But our commitment to the future of work was never just about Slack. To reflect that, we've significantly expanded and extended the scope of the Slack Fund. It's now devoted to investing in companies of all shapes and sizes that help craft the future of work. In fact, our portfolio focus is spread across many categories, including workplace collaboration, people operations, developer tools, and more. There's absolutely no Slack crossover required; we're simply keen to help drive forward our philosophy—that your working life can be better.
"There are lots of corporate venture funds," says Jason Spinell, Slack Fund's director. "But Slack thinks about it differently. We want to engage with our founders on a much deeper level."
Every company we invest in has a direct line to mentorship, guidance and whatever else they need using Slack channels, a single place to share files and messages, in the same Slack workspace, through Slack Connect. In these channels, we work with these external organizations many times daily.
"We have a huge amount of information to impart to an early-stage company," says Spinell, "whether it's how to do a great integration inside Slack, how to run product-led growth, scale an engineering team, you name it."
It's also a collaborative relationship. "These companies can impart knowledge around what it's like to build for the platform, what it's like to sell around the ecosystem, what they're hearing from their customers," he says.
What's next for the Slack Fund
We're accelerating the Slack Fund so we can partner with even more companies navigating the new remote work reality. We are not just investing through this phase but doubling down with even greater conviction.
"Slack's investment gave Guru a nice validation in the market, that we had a good vision and that Slack felt we could build something meaningful toward the future of work."
The Slack Fund is designed to be founder-friendly. We're quick in our investment decision-making process and delivering the value we say we will, all while creating deep connections for the startups and entrepreneurs within the Slack ecosystem.
And now that we've expanded our focus more broadly on companies driving the future of work, we hope to provide this experience for an even more comprehensive range of companies.

A United Launch Alliance (ULA) Delta IV Heavy rocket carrying a payload for the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) lifted off from Space Launch Complex-37 here at 9:15 a.m. EDT today. Designated NROL-15, the mission is in support of national defense.
"Today's successful launch of the NROL-15 mission is the third of four launches for the NRO this year and the second EELV launch for the NRO in just nine days," said Jim Sponnick, ULA vice president, Mission Operations. "We congratulate the combined NRO, U.S. Air Force and ULA team along with our mission partners for their continued focus on mission success as we deliver the critical capabilities to support the soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines."
This mission was launched aboard a Delta IV Heavy configuration vehicle, which featured a center common booster core along with two strap-on common booster cores. Each common booster core was powered by an RS-68A Liquid Hydrogen/Liquid Oxygen engine producing 797,000 pounds of thrust. A single RL10 Liquid Hydrogen/Liquid Oxygen engine powered the second stage. The booster and upper stage engines are both built by Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne. The payload was encased by a five-meter diameter (16.7-foot diameter), 65-foot, metallic tri-sector payload fairing. ULA constructed the Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle in Decatur, Ala.
This was the inaugural flight of the RS-68A engine, which was upgraded from the RS-68 under the Heavy Upgrade program for the Delta IV Heavy configuration. With the RS-68A engine upgrade, the thrust has been increased from approximately 758,000 pounds to 797,000 pounds and the engine overall efficiency (specific impulse) has also been increased.
"The upgraded Delta IV Heavy vehicle was developed with an extremely thorough and comprehensive system engineering process by the ULA and Pratt-Whitney Rocketdyne teams, along with substantial involvement by our U.S. government customers," said Sponnick. "Congratulations to the entire team on today's successful inaugural flight of the upgraded Delta IV Heavy launch vehicle and the RS-68A engine."
Commercially developed in partnership with the United States Air Force to provide assured access to space for Department of Defense and other government payloads, the Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Program supports the full range of government mission requirements, while delivering on schedule and providing significant cost savings over the heritage launch systems.
ULA's next launch is the Atlas V NROL-36 mission for the NRO scheduled Aug. 2 from Space Launch Complex-3 at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
ULA program management, engineering, test, and mission support functions are headquartered in Denver, Colo. Manufacturing, assembly and integration operations are located at Decatur, Ala., and Harlingen, Texas. Launch operations are located at Cape Canaveral AFS, Fla., and Vandenberg AFB, Calif.

From traditional browns to fashion-forward grays and newer, warmer tones, those looking for a wood or wood look flooring have an exceptional color palette to choose from. And no matter what your favorite shade of flooring may be, you are guaranteed a timeless, natural look and feel that will uplift a room just how you want it to.
Whether you want to craft a bold, eye-catching room or create classic warmth, the color of your wood floors will always make a huge difference. As you design your dream home layout, here are a few new, wood flooring color trends to definitely explore!
Warm, Natural Tones and Lighter Shades
Currently, warmer, natural tones and lighter shades are making the biggest splash in residential flooring. And what's not to love? Floors that capture the natural look of freshly cut wood with subtle warm undertones have moved to the forefront for good reason. You'll love these fresh-cut details, which are also easily seen in ethereal warm and cool shades, pale ivory, and powdery soft grays.
Need proof? Look no further than some of the newest styles of Mohawk's TecWood and RevWood products. The Sand Dune shade from the Boardwalk Collective style of RevWood Plus is a warm oak shade that softly emphasizes the wood grain, knots and other natural character marks in the wood.
You will also see that tonal putty has replaced black filler for knots to offer a softer, more natural look. For even more warmth, you can choose a wood style that features tonal variation, sometimes even offering a range of naturals and lights found together within a single plank.
Reds and Oranges are Starting to Reappear
While traditional red and orange wood tones have not been the most popular shades in recent years, Pantone's Living Coral pick for Color of the Year will definitely revitalize these color choices.
Popular natural wood colors are already receiving subtle oranges in warm undertones, and this year's saturated browns have shifted towards red.
Clearly this trend will continue to produce dazzling results such as this gorgeous Oak Cherry variety from the Woodmore style of TecWood.
What About Gray?
Cool gray has long been a favorite neutral of homeowners and interior designers alike, more recently making its way into wood flooring from dark earthy charcoals to soft airy tones.
Although the overall wood flooring market has seen the palette shifted towards fresh, warmer colors, gray remains a go-to hue for chic, modern interiors.
Whether you crave an icy iridescence or a light, airy vibe, Ashlar Oak from the Rare Vintage style of new RevWood select will capture attention and hearts with ease.
Colors in Design
So, how do these color trends play out in an actual design scheme? The move to more natural and warmer wood tones plays well in the most forward looking designs. Softer woods lend relaxed elegance to interiors inspired by simplicity, while planks with natural colors speak to the organic forms of mid-century design.
Whites and pale grays marry perfectly with sundrenched coastal looks, and the raw-cut wood tones lend themselves to both the exposed industrial vibe and the earthy feel of eclectic spaces. Darker grays such as espresso, charcoal and off-black are being used in sharp contrast to soft lights and naturals to produce striking appeal.

About The Duet
When 27-year-old pop sensation Brooklyn Heart steps in front of a microphone, her love songs enchant audiences worldwide. But when it comes to her own love life, the only spell she's under is a dry one. So when her label slots her for a Grammy performance with the sexy and soulful Jason Monroe, she can't help but entertain certain fantasies... those in which her G-string gets more play than her guitars'.
Only one problem. Jason is a lyrical lone wolf that isn't happy about sharing the stage—nor his ranch — with the sassy singer. But while it may seem like a song entitled 'Jason Monroe Is an Arrogant Ho' basically writes itself, their label and their millions of fans are expecting recording gold…
They're expecting The Duet.
Summer Neilson email@example.com 7:00 P.M.
Whattup Boss. Just an update about the meeting tomorrow with Global Records. It's still at 8:00 A.M. at their downtown offices, but now Jason Monroe will be there as well. They haven't briefed me about what they'll be discussing with you guys, but I thought I'd give you a heads up incase you wanted to forget to wear a bra or something. I've attached a photo of him, just as a reminder of how seriously hot he is. (You're welcome.)
Your badass assistant,
PS. Let's get lunch after your meeting so we can go over tour stuff.
I laughed and rolled my eyes. Some people might argue that my relationship with my thirty-year-old assistant crossed boundaries, but Summer had bright purple hair and usually sported black on black for all occasions. I don't think I could have reined her in even if I tried. Not to mention, she got shit done and made me laugh while she did it, so I didn't see any problems.
"Oh, no way. You have a meeting with Jason Monroe tomorrow? That guy can seriously rock," the Brazilian model said over my shoulder. I hadn't even realized he'd slid over to my bench while I was reading my email. Creepy.
I turned my phone away quickly, hoping he hadn't had enough time to read the rest of the email where Summer had attached a shirtless photo of Jason. If so, I was going to have to find the guys from Men in Black so that I could use that pen thing to erase his memory.
"Oh um, yeah, we're under the same music label," I answered nonchalantly, trying to read his features for any tell of whether he read the bra-less comment.
"That guy has soul, have you seen his acoustic performances?" he asked, seemingly more interested in the idea of Jason Monroe than the idea of having sex with me. Something was wrong with this picture. "He headlined ACL and Coachella last year."
I rolled my eyes and dropped my phone back into my purse. The rest of the ride to my condo, and even as we rode the elevator up to my floor, I wondered what the record label had up their sleeves concerning me and the seriously sexy, Jason Monroe. (Yes, of course, I went back to look at the photo Summer had sent me in the email. Here's a hint: he was on stage at a music festival with his guitar. His eyes were closed, sweat was dripping down his neck, his brown hair was disheveled, and he was singing a song with every bit of soul he had in him. I couldn't look away until the Brazilian model literally pried the phone out of my hand.)
About the Author
I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things... everyday. I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things "funny". Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

One of the best things about user experience design is that the consumer products and services it helps to crystallize are always evolving. With that level of change comes all sorts of speculation about the future.
Speculating is fun. Looking back on 2012 we saw a year brimming with innovations and ideas that set the stage for what we are likely to see in 2013. With that, here are some trends and concepts that we see setting the stage for this year's coming advancements in user experience.
The Onion hit it spot-on when they joked that 90% of our waking lives are spent staring at glowing rectangles. Along with more screens in our lives, the volume and intensity of information that passes through these rectangles has also been increasing: more widgets, more animations, more feeds, more dimensions, more data. In 2013 we envision a counterbalancing trend towards digital abstractions—a compressive reduction of dense information sets into radically simplified communications and visualizations.
Little Printer skims headlines from your online feeds and spits them out as low-fi ticker tape for your bedside. Robotify.me creates a personalized avatar that morphs based on the quantity, quality, and content of your aggregated social media activity. And the lovably crude, Etch A Sketch-esque PopSlate case uses e-ink to display simplified content pulled from your smartphone on the backside of the device. This year, look for technology that pares down functionality and operates at the edge, rather than the center of your attention.
Food has replaced art as high culture. We pay top dollar for the local, the organic, and the sustainable. We debate the finer points of terroir. We take pictures of our food and ogle glistening food porn provided by Epicurious and Evernote Food. Whole Foods and other premium grocers are expanding at a breakneck rate.
This year, specialized products, processes, and mobile applications will catalyze new levels of culinary geekiness. Look for more hyper-specialization, more exhaustive documentation, and more unique combinations of foods. In the home, look for continued professional aspiration and more high-tech tools in the kitchen as enhanced tools for measurement, timing, and sensing become standard components of cooktops and countertops. UX design will play a major role in shaping the character of interactions within this wired kitchen ecosystem.
Quantifed Ambition
"How to win friends and influence people" has been the core ambition of go-getters since Dale Carnegie's influential 1936 book of the same name hit shelves. In 2013, it's all about data-driven, quantified goal-setting and achievement. How popular and influential are you? Applications like Klout and Traakr assign you an "Influencer Score" based on your social media presence. How effective are your communication habits? You can use Google's new email analytics tool to see how long you take to respond to people. With widespread public health problems stemming from poor nutrition and exercise habits, consumer technologies like Nike's Fuelband, Jawbone, and Wii and Kinect games are also becoming key tools for lifestyle changes and improved personal fitness. A spirit of gamification will make measuring, analyzing, and optimizing your habits and behaviors more fun than ever.
Augmented Dialogue
Mobile tech has already stepped in to help us search and discover, navigate, and buy stuff. This year, look for app-assisted conversations. Missing social cues? Don't know what to say, where to stand, or when to look away? Smartphones will help you navigate the unstable terrain of interpersonal dialogue. Can't remember the name of that celebrity? Speech-recognition apps like Mindmeld listen to your conversations and recommend related info and content in real time.
Google wants to join the party too (not crash it) with plans to use voice and gestural inputs to make it easier to look up facts without violating dinner table etiquette. In 2013 we're going to continue to outsource rather than improve our abilities, with mobile tech taking up the slack.
Sensory Bandwidth
In 2012, a rise in texting-while-walking accidents highlighted the absurd perils of mobile computing. We're increasingly tapping into sensory reserves to juggle the virtual world and the real world at the same time. Voice control, with its potential to free up screen-strained eyes, surged last year with Apple's integration of Siri in iOS5, and has been rolled out in many mobile phones, TVs, and in-vehicle systems.
Audio outputs are growing too, especially for use in the car, with services like Aha Radio that reads feeds from the web aloud. But the auditory channel isn't the only sensory channel with available bandwidth. Vibration and sense of touch are also being explored, particularly as a way of getting navigational directions while biking or walking, or getting tactile caller ID information without looking at the phone. In 2013, look for non-visual interfaces, especially those created for people with disabilities, to gain widespread traction as tools for mobile computing.
Agile Economies
Last year we saw a growing tension emerging between the static, stable, tax-paying substructure of urban businesses, and the networks of mobile opportunists that exploit its legal and spatial margins. Big cities draw a fairly firm distinction between a house and a hotel, but Airbnb's entire business is based on obscuring that line, angering hoteliers and local residents. Restaurants, too, are fighting back against the rising tide of gourmet food trucks that siphon away customers without paying taxes.
Even the public street is being monetized, as companies like Parking Auction try to help drivers auction high-demand parking spaces before leaving. In 2013, we see even more granular capitalization of the public sphere, as open space and free time are put to work through innovative service technologies.
Faceted Video
In the vast intermeshed soup of hyperlinked Internet content, videos are the big, irreducible meaty chunks. They are heavy to move around, impenetrable to search, clumsily bracketed off by pause and play buttons, and still relatively hard to spread, embed, and remix. In 2013, look for new ways of breaking down, chopping up, and sharing video content.
Key indicators? The GIF—reemerged from its 1980s cryostasis as the format of choice for spreading Gangnam Style reenactments and other cool stuff—has officially been verbed by the Oxford dictionary. Apps for iPhone, like Cinemagram and Flixel, have popularized the image-video hybrid, or cinemagraph format. And with speech-to-text and audio recognition technologies like Shazam for TV and Google's auto closed-captioning continue to advance, we can also expect greater video searchability as well as more ways to link video to the rest of the web.
As the objects of consumer technology literally disappear from our lives—becoming thinner, lighter, more invisible, and more seamlessly integrated—we've seen a resurgent and even nostalgic interest in the artifacts of technological physicality. But we don't actually want the clunky old things. We want it both ways.
In 2012 we saw the explosion of Instagram, offering 1970s-era film patina instantly layered onto your 8 megapixel iPhone snaps. In fashion, the industrial neon futurism of Prada's fall 2012 lookbook is a fine example. In music, everything from 8-bit Chiptune soundscapes to 90's-era 808 drum kits to analogue synthesizers demonstrate how Pop and Electronic ideals continued to aestheticize the idiosyncratic sounds of 20th century production tools. In 2013, look for product design to join in this anterior gaze, as the history of technology becomes as important as its future.

a bit about. . . Stan Deyo
Stan Deyo has held Above Top Secret Security Clearance and worked undercover for the FBI. He was part of an exclusive "black project", headed by Dr. Edward Teller specializing in the development of "flying saucer technology".
As an autodidact polymath, Stan's diverse background encompasses:
Born in Clifton, Texas to a family of American Pioneers, Stan spent his first two years in nearby Valley Mills with his grandparents until his father returned from the Middle East - a US Army Air Force Base Commander in WW2. Valley Mills is just seven miles from Crawford, home to President Bush's ranch. Currently Stan is: God graced him with a phenomenal mind that he uses to help folks, not to make us wealthy. Maybe it sounds like I make him out to be bigger than life, but of how many people can you say, "it's truly a gift knowing him..." He's kind and gentle, an idealist with a terrific sense of fun. |

For many of us, the thought of asking someone for help or a favor — be it a colleague, friend, or stranger — is fraught with discomfort. We figure we're imposing or tend to assume the person will say no, which could leave us embarrassed or humiliated.
But new research verifies the old adage, "Ask and you shall receive." A series of studies reveals that people tend to grossly underestimate how likely others are to agree to requests for assistance.
"Our research should encourage people to ask for help and not assume that others are disinclined to comply," says Frank Flynn, associate professor of organizational behavior at Stanford GSB. "People are more willing to help than you think, and that can be important to know when you're trying to get the resources you need to get a job done, when you're trying to solicit funds, or what have you."
In fact, Flynn and Vanessa Lake, a Columbia psychology PhD student, have already had feedback to that effect on their paper, published in the July 2008 issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. "A colleague had just finished reading a draft and was running late to a dinner appointment," says Flynn. "He was in the subway and realized he should call ahead but didn't have a cell phone. He told us that our paper gave him courage to ask a stranger to borrow his—and that he was delighted when the person quickly obliged!"
In the first two studies, participants were instructed to ask favors of people in campus settings after estimating how many people they thought would comply with their requests. Participants asked to borrow strangers' cell phones in order to make calls back to the experimenter, solicited individuals to fill out questionnaires, and asked students to help them find the campus gym — a favor that required obliging students to walk with a participant for at least two blocks in the direction of the gym.
The researchers found that participants consistently overestimated by 50 percent the number of people they'd have to ask to get a certain number to agree with each request. "Participants were initially horrified at the prospect of going out and asking people for such things," says Lake. "But they'd bound back in to the lab afterward with big smiles, saying, 'I can't believe how nice people were!'"
The results were replicated even more dramatically in a real-world scenario involving volunteers for Team in Training, a division of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. These volunteers, who receive training for endurance sports events in exchange for fundraising for the society, were asked to estimate the number of people they thought they would have to solicit to reach their fundraising goal, as well as the average donation they expected.
Once again, volunteers predicted they would have to approach 50 percent more people than were actually needed. Moreover, they underestimated the average donation they'd receive by $17. "People seem to miscalculate how willing others are to say yes to direct requests, even in a conservative case like this where they're open to soliciting others and the request is significant — anywhere from $30 to more than $1,000," observes Flynn.
Why do people consistently make such underestimations? The researchers found it's because they fail to get inside the head of the potential helper. The critical factor, say Flynn and Lake, is that those who are approached for a favor are under social pressure to be benevolent. Just saying no can make them look very bad — to themselves or others.
Two further studies demonstrated this dynamic. When given various scenarios, participants responded differently depending on whether they were in the role of a potential helper or the one who needed the help. Those asking for help thought they were more likely to be turned down than those offering aid. Even more importantly, askers said they thought it would be much easier for others to refuse their request than did potential helpers.
"That's really the mechanism explaining the effect," says Flynn. "People's underestimation of others' willingness to comply is driven by their failure to diagnose these feelings of social obligation on the part of others."
One study found that those asking for help incorrectly believed it was more likely they would receive help if they were indirect about it—communicating their request with a look, rather than a direct question. In contrast, people in the position of offering assistance said they were much more likely to help if asked point blank. "That really puts the obligation on them, and makes it very awkward for them to refuse," says Lake.
Similarly, in a final study, participants incorrectly calculated that they would get more people to answer a questionnaire if they simply handed them a flyer with the request, instead of asking them outright. This was the case whether they were asking people to fill out short, one-page questionnaires, or more burdensome, 10-page questionnaires. "The lesson is that you should pay more attention to how your request is being made than to the size of your request," says Flynn.
"Other studies we've conducted indicate that people overestimate how likely it is that others will come to them for help," Flynn continues. "This means not only are people not asking for help when in fact they could get it, but they're not encouraging others to come to them for help when in fact they're willing to offer it. That tells us that the 'open-door' policy is basically ineffective unless people are actively encouraged to use it."

Shelby asks: "My sister got engaged about two months before I did and immediately booked a date in October of next year. It has always been my dream to have an outdoor fall wedding in the Hudson Valley, because the colors are so gorgeous at that time of year. October is a slow month for my husband at work, so that also would work well for us. Here's my problem: My sister and I will be "overlapping" many of our guests. Am I being selfish asking guests to attend two weddings in the same month?"
Dear Shelby: It certainly could be pose a problem for guests to attend two weddings in such close proximity. It may place a financial burden on some and it's tough to say how this will play out. Some may simply not come one of the two weddings; some may choose to reduce the cost of the gift they purchase and give of you less; some may choose not to attend either wedding, so as not to insult either one of you. Since your sister has already picked and booked the date, perhaps you and your fiancé can rethink yours (or move it to the next autumn).
There's one issue you didn't address in your question: If your parents are covering, or contributing to the two weddings, you may be putting them in a tough place financially. If this is the case, then you really should speak with them about whether they can handle the two events so close together. When push comes to shove, you may have to rethink your choice of a date. After all, every season in the Hudson Valley, even the winter, has its own beautiful aspects. For information about planning a winter wedding in the Valley, check out HudsonValleyWeddings.com's article "Winter Weddings in the Hudson Valley."
Last, but not least, you might want to consider the option of a double wedding. That would be a "win-win." You and your sister would get the date you want, it would relieve some pressure on your guests, and, for your parents, it would be less expensive that two separate weddings.
