BOSTON (Reuters) - Leaders and employees alike often struggle to make or follow through on decisions, but there are some ways around the problem, says Harvard Business Review.
The Management Tip of the Day offers quick, practical management tips and ideas from Harvard Business Review and HBR.org (www.hbr.org). Any opinions expressed are not endorsed by Reuters.
"Indecisiveness plagues many companies. Often, both leaders and employees struggle to make or follow through on decisions. The result? Chronic underperformance.
You can conquer this and infuse decisiveness throughout your organization by doing these three things:
1. Engage in decisive dialogue. During each interaction with employees, model honest, open, and decisive dialogue. Make sure every meeting ends with a clear understanding of decisions and next steps.
2. Turn dialogue into action. Indecision is often the result of confusion. Clarify accountability for reaching and executing decisions.
3. Use follow-through and feedback to sustain action. Once you've set an expectation for decisiveness, you need to follow through. Give people honest feedback and discourage indecisive behaviors."
- Today's management tip was adapted from the book, "Harvard Business Review on Making Smart Decisions."

Photo of the Week: Connecting Farmers to Markets in Nicaragua
October 18, 2013
Pineapple farmers in Nicaragua are increasing their incomes and improving the quality of their lives.
Farmers from the COOPEMET cooperative harvest pineapples near Nueva Guinea, Nicaragua. TechnoServe worked with COOPEMET and 12 other farmer organizations across Nicaragua to identify better market opportunities and improve productivity, post-harvest technologies and business practices.
Through the ACORDAR program, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development and managed by Catholic Relief Services, members of the COOPEMET cooperative were able to purchase machinery to help them sell cut and packaged pineapple at the local market. By investing in infrastructure that adds value and improves the quality of their product, these pineapple farmers are building a sustainable business and creating a more prosperous future for their families.

The drill was monstrous in size. It's slender, metal body worked it's way across where Reiko's prison complex had just been. Hong Wu and his team stared in horror at the machine, each of them wondering how they were going to stop it. "We need to get out of here! There is no way we can stop that thing!" yelled Hana.
"No, we will stop it," said Hong Wu. "You and Tenshi need to get out of here now! Stay out of the drill's path! You keep running until you have gotten somewhere safe!"
Tenshi and Hana nodded and ran into the forest, making sure to stray from the drill's path.
"What is that thing?" asked Ming.
"Reiko's secret weapon," Hong Wu answered. "Fa, you have to know how to shut that thing down."
"There is only one way," said Fa. "You must go inside the machine and destroy the main fuel source. If you succeed in doing that, the drill won't be able to move anymore."
"But that thing is almost half of a mile long!" said Ming. "There is no way we will be able to find the main fuel source before this thing reaches the Eastern Lake!"
"You won't need to search the entire machine. I know exactly which part of the drill houses the fuel source." "Which part?" asked Konghe.
"Run under the drill and go through the third entrance underneath. Once you get inside, run left through the drill's corridors until you reach the room marked, 'Engine Room'."
Everyone nodded and turned to face the drill again. Reiko and Xiang were still on top of the machine, both of them clearly pleased with the machine's activation.
"We may not make it out alive, but we are going to go out with a fight!" said Hong Wu. "Let's go!" The four comrades all ran towards the drill, heading for underneath the great machine. They were followed by the Terra Team members.
"Good luck, guys," said Fa. "For the sake of the Earth Kingdom, take this horrible machine and all of those evil men out."
Hong Wu, Ming, Hoku, and Konghe all rushed under the drill with the Terra Team right behind them. "So, what's the plan once we get inside?" asked Ming. "Reiko will surely have guards inside."
"We take out as many as we can," Hong Wu replied. As they ran, the group spotted the first entrance.
"Only two more to go," said Ming. Suddenly, a fire blast came sizzling past Hong Wu's head. The other soldiers avoided it as well. They all turned to see Fire Nation soldiers wearing skull masks standing in their path. "It seems they don't want us to leave," said Ming.
"Don't you worry about that," said one of the Terra Team soldiers. "We'll take care of them." All of the Terra Team soldiers stepped forward.
"Ready, men?!" one of them yelled. "Attack!" At the sound of this word, the Earthbenders all levitated boulders out of the ground and shot them forward at their opponents. Several of the Firebenders were blown back, but most of them still remained standing. "We'll cover you!" yelled one of the soldiers. "Go, go, go!"
The team of four did as they were told and sprinted forward. Ming brought up an earth shield in order to protect herself from a fire blast, while Hoku slashed his way through with his sword, cutting down soldiers in seconds. More and more of them were taken out by boulders, while Hong Wu's team just ran. Hong Wu sliced through a few more soldiers, and Konghe, armed with an earth gauntlet, socked several soldiers, knocking them unconscious. Finally, the four of them made their way through. They kept running until they saw the second entrance. "We must be getting close!" said Hong Wu. The assassin then felt a great deal of weight being dropped on him, knocking him to the ground. He heard the sound of a voice.
"So, you guys made it out of the prison alive," said Mongke. "I guess that means it is up to me to stop you now."
Suddenly, Hong Wu felt the weight on his back removed. He looked up to see Ming in her attack stance. Hong Wu quickly got back on his feet and saw Mongke on the ground, having been hit by a boulder.
"You guys go and find the third entrance!" shouted Hoku.
"We will hold him off!" said Konghe, finishing his friend's sentence.
Hong Wu and Ming nodded. The two of them ran off at once.
Mongke, furious, got back on his feet and started after them, but an earth coin from Konghe stopped him in his tracks. The former Fire Nation colonel looked over at his enemies with an enraged glare. "This will be much fun," he said.
Hoku smiled, and then cracked his neck. "Bring it, Fire Nation scum!"
Hong Wu and Ming were still running. Hong Wu was also running out of breath, which Ming noticed. "What's the matter? Are you getting tired?" she teased.
"How can you tease me at a time like this?" Hong Wu asked.
"I'm just trying to take my mind off of the impending doom," Ming answered.
"Well, don't lose your focus. We cannot fail this mission," said Hong Wu. It just dawned on him that he had not thanked Ming for saving him earlier. "Thank you, Ming, for saving my life," he said.
"No problem," she said. "Thank you for saving mine."
Hong Wu stopped running for a moment. The assassin was out of breath. "I... have... run so much... today," he said.
Ming put her hand on his shoulder. "I know you must be exhausted; I am too, but we cannot stop now. We have to keep going."
Hong Wu looked up and stared into Ming's eyes. "I've been so rude to you ever since I got here," he spoke. "I think it's time I was a little nicer to you." Ming smiled and looked into Hong Wu's eyes. "Your eyes are so beautiful," said Hong Wu. "I could stare at those green eyes all day."
Ming looked down on Hong Wu. She had been hoping Hong Wu would feel the same way she felt about him. Now, she had a chance to make her move. "And I could stare at yours all day, too," she said. Both of them suddenly remembered that the fate of the Earth Kingdom was at stake.
"Let's get moving," said Hong Wu.
"Good idea," said Ming.
The two of them kept running towards the third entrance.
As the Battle of Jeontu was still raging on, Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom soldiers alike were all stopping in the middle of the battlefield. They all looked over to see a giant machine in the distance. It was a giant, metal, drill. Taisa saw it and her eyes widened. "Great spirits," she whispered. "Guys, if you are anywhere near that thing, please stop it, or we are all done for."
Reiko and Xiang were still atop the drill, looking down at all of the trees being destroyed by the monstrous mechanism. One of their pages ran towards them and spoke to them. "Sirs, it seems they have gotten past the first and second entrances," he said.
"What?!" Reiko yelled. "How many?!"
"J-just two, sir," said the page.
Reiko grabbed the page by his robes and tossed him over the side of the drill. "Send two battalions after them!" Reiko shouted.
"Not necessary, sir," said Xiang. "I will take care of them myself. He then ran away from his General, going to take care of the intruders.
Hong Wu and Ming were still running. Then, they finally saw it. "The third entrance," said Hong Wu. The pair stood directly under the entrance. "Alright, boost us up!" he ordered. Ming raised a slab of earth underneath them, elevating them inside the drill. They hopped over to the floor of the machine, and Ming lowered the earth slab. "Okay, let's head left," said Ming. The two of them sprinted left, heading for the engine room, intent on completing their mission.
Hoku sent a landslide in Mongke's direction, but the Rough Rhino leapt up, spun around, and unleashed a large breath of fire in Hoku's direction. Konghe raised an earth wall to defend them both, but the blast destroyed the wall on impact. The two Earthbenders raised earth blocks out of the ground and hurled them at their opponent, but they were burned by another combined fire blast from Mongke. "This is both of your first missions, isn't it?" asked Mongke. "You clearly have no experience!"
"This may be a first for everyone here, but I know that everyone here has received extensive training. Some of it from one of your superiors," said Hoku.
"Well, your training won't save you now!" yelled Mongke. The Rough Rhino prepared a fire whip, but Hoku and Konghe slammed their fists into the ground, creating an earth bomb and causing their opponent to be flung into the air. He hit the bottom of the drill and fell unconscious.
"Well, that takes care of him," said Konghe. "Should we follow Hong Wu and Ming, and try to stop it?"
"No, they are too far ahead. We need to try to stop it from the outside," Hoku replied. Konghe nodded and the two shot an earth column straight up at the drill.
Hong Wu and Ming were sprinting through the corridors of the drill. Just several feet ahead of them, three Firebenders came out from doors and shot fire streams at the two of them. Ming ducked as low as she could, just barely avoiding the streams, while Hong Wu leapt up, landed on one of the soldiers' faces, then proceeded to stab the other two in the face. He then hopped off of the third guard, who got back up within seconds. The guard prepared to fire, but she was quickly knocked unconscious by Ming's fist. She and Hong Wu proceeded down the hallway, still desperate to find the engine room. They ran for several more minutes, until they finally stopped. They looked over at the room to their right and saw it was marked, 'Engine Room'. "At last, we have found it," said Hong Wu, relieved. The two of them entered the room to see several engineers who were making the drill move.
"Alright," said Ming. "Everyone stop what you are doing and surrender!" All of a sudden, Hong Wu was knocked to the ground. Just seconds later, Ming was knocked over as well. The two looked up to see Xiang looming over them.
"I guess I should have expected you to make it this far," he said in his deep, intimidating voice. "I taught you well."
Hong Wu got up and took his attack stance. Ming got up and did the same. Xiang narrowed his eyes and raised a hand. "You are dismissed for now," said Xiang. The confused engineers all looked questioningly at one another, but decided not to challenge their superior. They all stopped what they were doing and left the room. Hong Wu, Ming, and Xiang all felt the drill stop immediately after the engineers put down their things.
"Why did you tell them to stop?" asked Hong Wu.
"So we could talk in private," Xiang responded. "You don't have any idea why I am doing this."
"You were pretty clear back in the torture room," said Hong Wu.
"No, I mean the part I didn't tell you," said Xiang. Hong Wu and Ming looked at the man, puzzled by his words. "There is a prophecy, one that I discovered inside the great library of Wan Shi Tong," Xiang explained. "It says that, even though the conqueror has fallen, a warrior of light will arise and dominate every weakling in his path. The conqueror, of course, is one of the previous Avatars, the very first one, in fact. I know that whoever is on the side of power will not be harmed by this warrior of light." Xiang revealed the prophecy which was on a scroll in his hand. "So I took this and showed it to Reiko. I asked him if I could join him. I told him what I told you in the torture room, and he gladly accepted me into his ranks and made me his second-in-command."
Hong Wu and Ming were befuddled by what this prophecy foretold. "So, you're just a coward seeking protection?!" Hong Wu shouted. Before Xiang could interject, Hong Wu spoke again. "You are not the same man who took me in eleven years ago! You are not the same man who taught me everything I know! I hate you, you despicable scumbag! And I hate the army, too!" he screamed.
"Hong Wu, calm down!" Ming urged.
"This just proves that I was right before! None of the nations are worth fighting for! Why should I show loyalty to any of them, or anyone?!"
"Your blind anger is what shall bring about your end, boy!" shouted Xiang. He thrust his fist forward, but Hong Wu sidestepped his former master's blow and stabbed him in the side. Xiang cried out in pain. He swung his fist again, but was socked in the face by Ming. Hong Wu loomed over his former master, who was looking up with a terrified expression on his face. He extended one arm, attempting to reach out to Hong Wu, but the assassin swung his arm down and stabbed his former master in the chest. As soon as the knife entered Xiang's chest, the man's eyes were lifeless. His whole body slumped on the floor, dead. The blood on Hong Wu's knife splattered all over the prophecy, blotting out several of the letters. Hong Wu was hyperventilating. He turned to Ming and looked back at the door. Hearing the commotion from inside, a guard entered the room, preparing to attack.
Hong Wu ran forward and grabbed the guard by the throat. He slammed the man to the ground and asked him in a very serious tone. "Where's... Reiko?"
Reiko was furious. He stared down the side of the drill. "What's going on?!" he bellowed. "Why have we stopped?!" Just then, a knife whizzed past his head. He turned around to see Hong Wu and Ming standing several yards away from him. "You two are still alive?! That idiot Xiang failed me!"
"I hope those were the last words you have always dreamed of, because they will be the last ones you ever speak!" yelled Hong Wu. He ran at Reiko, but the general breathed an enormous amount of fire at Hong Wu. The assassin's eyes went wide. Just in time, he leapt to the side to avoid the blast. He found himself about to fall over the side of the drill, but he quickly pulled out his knife and stabbed it into the drill's side. As he dangled over the side of the great mechanism, Reiko walked over and looked down on him.
"You little punk," he taunted. "Did you ever really believe you could ever defeat the great General Reiko?!" He lifted his foot, preparing to stomp it on Hong Wu's hand, when he was knocked over the side by Ming. Reiko cried out as he fell over. He grabbed onto Hong Wu's leg, causing the assassin to loosen his grip. In a few more seconds, they would let go and they would both fall to their deaths. "If I am going down, then you are going with me!" Reiko shouted from below.
"In your dreams!" Hong Wu spat. He thrust his leg down, causing Reiko to lose his grip and fall from the metal monstrosity to his death. Ming leaned over the side and extended her arm.
"Grab on!" she ordered. Hong Wu obeyed and grabbed her arm. She pulled him up and the two stood on top of the motionless drill. "It's over," she said. "It's finally over."
Hong Wu could only nod in response. He and Ming stared into each other's eyes once more. Both of them lost in a sea of colors that they found so beautiful. At last, the two of them shared a deep, passionate kiss atop the drill. The kiss lasted for over a minute, and both of them enjoyed every second of it. When the two were finally done, they stood silently for a few moments. Then, Ming finally spoke. "We should probably get down from here."
Taisa faced her four recruits, as well as Fa. She placed a medal on each of them. "For Fa, the Medal of Courage," she said. "Your courage to help us is inspiring, and we truly thank you for your help." She continued to move down the line. "For Konghe, the Medal of Bravery. Your bravery in leading the Terra Team soldiers and facing Banhen and Mongke was outstanding. For Hoku, the Medal of Honor. You have been an honorable soldier, indeed, Hoku. Stopping to help a couple and following orders right down to the letter was very honorable. For Ming, the Medal of Friendship. Your loyalty to your teammates and persistent friendliness is outstanding. And, for Hong Wu, the Medal of Leadership. Your leadership skills during this mission, and the fact that you killed both Xiang and Reiko, are incredible. I am proud to call myself your commanding officer." Taisa bowed and left her recruits, walking away with the Terra Team soldiers. "Time to lock you two up for good," she said, referring to the handcuffed Banhen and Mongke. As she walked away, Hong Wu walked in the opposite direction. Ming and the others followed him.
"Hey, what's wrong, buddy?" asked Hoku.
Hong Wu stopped and turned around. "I don't have anything to fight for anymore," said Hong Wu. "I am done with this. I will no longer serve the military, or anyone else."
"Where will you go?" asked Konghe.
"I am going to be a freelance assassin from now on. I will live by my own code."
"Why?" asked Fa.
"Because, fighting my old master, who taught me so much about not only fighting, but about life and how to live it, made me realize that people from all nations are evil and that there is no reason to trust any of them. I will live out the rest of my days as an assassin who plays by his own rules and doesn't give a damn about the military." Hong Wu grinned a bit evilly at saying this. "After all, what's the point? Up until this point, everyone in my life has hurt me. The only person that kept me going was Xiang, but now he has hurt me, too." Hong Wu paused and clenched his fist. "All, because of a stupid prophecy!" he shouted.
"What prophecy?" asked Hoku.
"It says although the conqueror has fallen, a warrior of light will arise and dominate every weakling in his path. The conqueror was the first Avatar, and no one knows who the warrior of light is." No one was sure of what to think of this news. "If any of you want to join me, we can start our own secret operation and rise to power on our own!"
Hoku, Konghe, and Fa backed away from their friend. It was clear he was losing his marbles. "Yeah, count me out, pal," said Hoku. "You're insane!"
"Yeah, you sound a little crazy to me, too," said Konghe.
"Yes, I think I have heard enough," Fa concurred. The three of them walked away, each of them pondering if Hong Wu was right.
"Fine, then," said Hong Wu.
"I'll join you," said Ming.
Hong Wu looked over at her and smiled. "I think this is the beginning of a wonderful relationship," he said. He chuckled, evilly to himself until he started laughing maniacally into the sky. "Together, you and I will do whatever it takes to be the greatest assassins in the world and leave our mark on history."

Police seized 32 guns from a Bloomfield Road residence on July 5 after finding out a man at the residence was a convicted felon.
After investigating, Kentucky State Police and the Spencer County
Sheriff's Department arrested Tony D. Hilbert, 41, according to a news release.
Police seized 26 long guns and six handguns.
What started as an ordinary day in June, ended as anything but for Ochs Lane resident Betty Shouse and her great-granddaughter, Hayleigh Whittington.
Eight-year-old Hayleigh and her 18-month-old sister, Lydia, spent the day with Shouse – as they often do – and all the way up until 4 p.m., the day was a normal one.
Shouse spent a few minutes talking on the phone to Hayleigh's dad, Josh, who was in California at the time, then sat down in a chair in her living room.
Citizens will get a taste of the Spencer County Fair this weekend when it opens for a few events on Friday and Saturday.
Rides will not be at the fairgrounds, located off Ky. 44 on Fairgrounds Road, until Tuesday, July 26, but plenty of family activities are stirring up, starting with a cornhole tournament Friday at 7 p.m. at the pavilion.
The horse pull starts at 7:30 p.m. Friday at the track.
Festivities open up again Saturday, starting at 5 p.m. with the antique tractor pull at the ring.
The cause of a Taylorsville teenager's untimely death was ruled accidental by the Jefferson County Coroner's Office last week.
Deputy Coroner Jim Wesley said last Wednesday that 17-year-old Paige Nicole Wimsatt died June 3 at a Jefferson County residence of multiple substance intoxication.
"This has been ruled by my office as accidental," Wesley said.
Spencer County was hit with widespread flash flooding on Tuesday afternoon.
Main Street was temporarily shut down around 5:30 p.m. due to high water. The waters receded in that area and the roads were open by 6:30.
Motorists are reminded to travel with caution, not driving through standing water.
A fire at 4437 Taylorsville Road stopped traffic and demanded the attention of several Taylorsville-Spencer County firefighters around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
Sgt. Cameron Canan said the incident involved a carport located next to a mobile home.
"There was a carport that had a deck on top of it — it had caught fire and with the heat, it melted the vinyl siding on the mobile home and garage next to it," Canan said.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation and the names of the homeowners were not available as of Tuesday afternoon.
Former Spencer County Sheriff Steve Coulter was indicted June 30 on one count of tampering with public records, a class D felony, and one count of second-degree official misconduct, a class B misdemeanor.
The indictment follows a six-month investigation into criminal activity by Coulter, according to a news release from the Kentucky State Police Drug Enforcement Special Investigations West Branch.
These crimes were allegedly committed before Coulter left office in December, and the investigation continues, the news release said.
A home on the edge of the Spencer-Nelson County border was ruled a total loss after a fire destroyed it last Thursday afternoon.
Taylorsville-Spencer County firefighters responded to 5430 Highgrove Road at 2:32 p.m. where the two-story home was fully engulfed in flames, Fire Chief Nathan Nation said.
The home was occupied by tenant, Bobbie Shelburne, and owned by Field Houghlin, Nation said.
No one was home at the time of the fire. The incident was called in to emergency personnel by a road crew member paving Ky. 48.

The umbrella body of Ijaw youths, the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide, has described as untrue allegation by an ex-militant, Israel Akpodoro, that former President Goodluck Jonathan founded the Niger Delta Avengers, Punch reports.
NDA, a new militant group in the Niger Delta, has unleashed mayhem on the region, blowing up oil installations and pipelines.
Reacting to the allegation, IYC spokesman, Eric Omare, said in a statement on Sunday, It was nonsensical to imagine that Jonathan, who conceded defeat and congratulated his opponent even before the final result was announced, would contrive such a plan.
The IYC said, "The attention of the group has been drawn to a statement issued by one Israel Akpodoro, who claimed to be the National President of National Coalition of Niger Delta Ex-Agitators alleging that former President Jonathan founded the Niger Delta Avengers.
"The initial reaction of the IYC was to ignore the said statement considering the fact that the said Akpodoro is unknown and has no pedigree in the Niger Delta region.
"However, we have consistently been inundated with calls and messages by concerned Nigerians all over the world as to the true position as far as the allegations are concern. This response is to set the records straight for the benefit of the reading public.
"The allegation that the NDA was formed by Jonathan in a meeting he attended in January 2015 preparatory to the 2015 general elections to make the country ungovernable for his successor is absolutely untrue.
"It is nonsensical to imagine that former President Jonathan who conceded defeat and congratulated his opponent, current President Muhammadu Buhari, even before the final result was announced would make such a plan.
"In the first place, the January 2015 meeting of ex-Agitators and stakeholders in the region was not attended by Jonathan and the meeting never resolved to make Nigeria ungovernable for President Buhari.
"The IYC leadership also attended the meeting and the President of the IYC, Udengs Eradiri was one of the speakers at that meeting. The meeting was called to calm down the youths of the Niger Delta who were aggrieved with the attack on former President Jonathan in some northern states during the campaign for the 2015 Presidential elections."
The IYC recalled that when Buhari, the then presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress came to the southern part of the country to campaign, especially the South-South, he was warmly received by his party supporters and traditional rulers that he visited.
It said specifically that when Buhari visited Bayelsa State, home state of former President Jonathan, the group even took the extra step of providing security to ensure that the campaign was peaceful in order not to embarrass Jonathan and the people of Bayelsa State.
It, however, said that reverse was the case when Jonathan went to the North to campaign as he was stoned and attacked by hired youths and thugs allegedly sponsored by opposition politicians in that region.

Exploring Colombo's backstreets
Experience Overview
GENERAL DESCRIPTION: Colombo is Sri Lanka's chaotic and often overlooked capital. It is a city which can be confusingly contradictory. The bustling area of Slave Island, in particular, can be somewhat illogical and overwhelming to visitors and you could be forgiven for not wanting to brave it alone, but if you take the time to visit you'll quickly discover that it is one of the most interesting areas in the capital. Named, literally, because of its association with African slaves who were housed in the area during Portuguese rule, this now bustling commercial thoroughfare overlooking the recently replenished Beira Lake was once surrounded by crocodile-filled canals that gave the impression of an island. The slaves were released long ago and the crocodiles were cleared out over time, but Slave Island is still awash with remnants of the past, with tradition seemingly preferred over development and landmarks of bygone eras lining almost every street. Walk through this historic district with your host, a distinguished conservationist and naval architect whose narrative will bring Slave Island's captivating chronicles to life.
EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION: Start your walk in front of the Galle Face Hotel, one of the oldest hotels in Asia and the first hotel to be built in Sri Lanka. From there you will make your way into the heart of Slave Island, an area rich with ethnic diversity. Home to Moors, Malays, Christians, Hindus and Buddhists who live side by side, in Slave Island different religious edifices stand just meters away from one another, blending the many places of worship into one in the colorful and eclectic cityscape. You will visit some of the most historic mosques and churches in the area and learn about the stories that underpin Slave Island. Discover why there is a road affiliated with London's famous Kew gardens, and meet the vendors who sell their wares out of buildings that haven't changed in hundreds of years. Finish up at the Beira Lake, just next to Gangaramaya Temple, allowing you the option to explore one of Sri Lanka's most famous temples after your walk.
The host: Your host is a young resident of Colombo with a passion for conservation and a strong interest in sustainability and eco-friendly practice. He studied naval architecture at Colombo's maritime campus and he is heavily involved with Colombo's Good Market which advocates sustainable and fair trade business. He also consults for the Biosfera foundation which provides sustainable design solutions in agriculture and construction. His background brings depth to his walk, with many questions regarding modern development vs conservation arising.
includes: your host and any snacks and drinks included on the walk
duration: 2 hours.
difficulty: Easy
suitable for children: Not for small children, but a walk tailored to suit the interests of children can be organized
meeting time: 8.30AM or 4PM. Not available on Saturdays and Mondays
what to wear or bring along: Cool, light clothing, comfortable shoes, suncream and a cap
making the most of it: Remember to bring your camera and a sense of adventure!

I made a cake for an auction that is vanilla bean cake with chocolate buttercream, covered in chocolate ganache & then fondant. The cake was baked Thurs night, decorated Fri & delivered on Sat. The lady who won it contacted me today (Sun) saying she would like to save it for next weekend. I've never stored a cake for that long, always make them fresh for events, so I'm really not sure what to suggest to her.
What would you all suggest?
She will get the best result by freezing it. Refrigeration makes a cake go stale faster.
Place cake in cardboard box. Wrap box in saran wrap and a layer of foil. Place in freezer until 24 hrs. b/4 serving. 24 hrs. b/4 serving, place wrapped box in refrigerator. 3-4 hours b/4 serving, place wrapped box on counter to come to room temp. Right before serving, remove cake from box. Condensation will go to the cardboard and not the cake and it will look, and taste, like it was just made.
Yes, I've done it and yes, it works perfectly.
Thank you for your feedback :-) I will give that a try.

Your GMC dealership isn't the only place to locate trusted replacement parts for your FC283. When your GMC FC283 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a driver who wants trusted quality in their automobile. Obviously, you bought your FC283 because you understood you would be getting horsepower and rugged design both rolled up into one vehicle. You purchased your FC283 because its reliability and longevity appealed to your senses; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to the highest quality auto parts?
It requires a certain synergy - a need for many cooling components on your GMC FC283 working in concert - to maintain constant engine temperature, and if one fails then the whole system is compromised. A very important one is the cooling fan assembly, and it turns on when the engine temperature is reaching the high end of its nominal range. Most of the time your GMC FC283 cooling fan assembly turns on suddenly is when your car or truck is not traveling fast; this is because the radiator is not able to scoop up enough air to function properly. While the cooling fan is running it is sucking air from in front of the radiator through its fins, the temperature of the coolant inside the core lowers and it re-enters the engine.
Don't let a Cooling Fan Assembly repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't gamble with its condition by installing anything but the best repair parts. Bring your FC283 back to life with the best replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Given all the trouble that can be involved with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make buying it easy. When it comes to GMC FC283 Cooling Fan Assembly parts, you can find them for 1947 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Kopic loaned to Slavia Prague
Heerenveen defender Milan Kopic joins Slavia Prague on loan until the end of the season.
Last Updated: 14/01/10 5:10pm
Heerenveen's Milan Kopic has joined Slavia Prague on loan until the end of the season.
The Czech defender joined the Eredivisie side from Mlada Boleslav in the summer of 2008 but failed to settle in Holland.
He made just four appearances for the first-team and Heerenveen club director Yme Kuiper does not expect him to add to that tally.
Kuiper told the club's official website: "Milan will not play with us again and this is the best solution for everyone.
"He will now have the opportunity to develop his game at Slavia Prague."

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|3 nights
This charming apartment makes up the second floor of an old stone house, which was refurbished in 2007. It nestles amongst orange trees and honeysuckle, surrounded by a jumble of similar houses, in a part of Perast that remains largely untouched. The village itself is the jewel of Kotor Bay and one of the most spectacular locations on the Adriatic Coast. Truly breathtaking. A large terrace with a panoramic view of the bay and its two islands makes up a third of the living space, giving the apartment a lovely outdoor feel which apartments of similar size in this area often lack. It is much loved, and visited regularly by ourselves, the owners - a British family - and looked after by a local managing agent. It is furnished simply, unfussily, but comfortably.
As a couple we spent a number of years working in the Balkans, and bought and refurbished this apartment in 2005-2007. Now with two young daughters, we holiday in the apartment every summer, as do our relatives.
Penny Prodger purchased this apartment in 2005
The apartment is a minute from the waterfront, which has an array or eateries and bars, ranging from a cheap pizzeria to more expensive fish and meat restaurants. There are places to swim all along the waterfront and a beach at either end of the village.
Perast is an hour's drive from Dubrovnik Airport in Croatia and if you tire of the bay, then secluded coves and beaches lie within half an hour's drive.
The nearest airport is Tivat in Montenegro (30 minutes), but most European visitors will arrive at Dubrovnik in Croatia, which is served by budget airlines including Thomson and Easyjet from the UK (from approx £100 return). Hire cars can be rented there and are useful for getting around, but Perast is well served by buses too.
Perast is 20 minutes drive from the historic walled town of Kotor and its hillside castle. It's a little further to the open sea bays, the coves of the Tivat peninsula and the luxury marina of Porto Montenegro. The Tara Valley, which offers white water rafting, is about three hours drive, as is neighbouring Durmitor National Park (the principal town of which, Zabljak, is a ski resort in winter). Dubrovnik is an hour one way, and the equally charming Sveti Stefan an hour the other.
Further Details:
There is a wealth of literature about the area on the shelves of our apartment, including Lonely Planet and Bradt travel guides to Montenegro, Macedonia and Serbia. Bosnia is only an hour's drive away too.
You don't have to travel far to find cash machines (the next village), supermarkets (ditto), or you can settle for the small local shops in Perast which have most of what you may need.

Two Japanese aquariums have resigned from the Japanese Association of Aquariums and Zoos (JAZA) due to the ban placed by JAZA in 2015 on members from buying dolphins
caught during the infamous dolphin hunts in Taiji, Wakayama Prefecture.
Kaikyokan in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and Shin-Enoshima Aquarium in Fujisawa, Kanagawa Prefecture, near Tokyo, handed in their resignations April 2.
The reason given by Kaikyokan is that the Taiji hunts are legal and JAZA's ban on Taiji-caught dolphins is "unacceptable." Shin-Enoshima said it wanted to continue research into breeding dolphins and in order to do so it would be necessary to nurture relations with Taiji and other non-JAZA members. By leaving JAZA the two organisations will be able to purchase dolphins caught by Taiji's fishermen.
JAZA's response is that there are other ways to pursue husbandry without trading with Taiji. (Taiji is the subject of the Oscar-award winning film, The Cove.)
Shortly after the JAZA ban I wrote a feature story for The Japan Times here

Reactive & Functional Polymers 2013
Hetero-telechelic, low-molecular-weight polylactides (PLAs) were prepared by the zinc-catalyzed ringopening
polymerization of L-lactide or D-lactide using functional initiators and subsequent reaction with
termination reagents, yielding –OH, –COOH, –NH2 and –SH as functional chain ends. Structural characterization
was performed by molecular weight analysis, NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry.
The thermal behavior of the species was investigated by DSC, which revealed that the
modification of the hydroxyl terminus lowered the number of lactic acid units within a PLA chain that
can effectively participate in crystallization. Both the Tm and DHm values for these polymers were lower
compared to those of PLAs of comparable chain length with no modification of the hydroxyl end-group. In
stereocomplexes prepared from equimolar amounts of the hetero-telechelic PLLAs and PDLAs, this
suppressive effect on Tm and DHm was also observed. Modification of the hydroxyl ends to produce –
COOH, –NH2 and –SH end groups reduced the stereocomplex Tm values to 10–20 C. The lower limit
for the crystallization of the stereocomplexes was found at a DP of 5.

Reports Testing
Businesses depend on the collection and organization of data to make strategic decisions and to review trends. Having reports that accurately reflect business information is critical to the process of sound decision making. Accurate operational data is a key competitive advantage to any reporting tool. Testing of extracts, transform, and load (ETL) applications is foundational to ensuring the report quality. However, the practicality of 100% Data Warehouse testing is not always feasible. Having a report testing strategy that focuses on extraction, transformation, and loading components ensures that all types of data behave as expected and that reports reflect dependable business information. We can help your company:
- Increase Application Quality – Test earlier, smarter, and faster by leveraging SQA Solution's experienced Report Testing resources throughout your development cycle.
- Accelerate Time-to-Market – Find critical issues earlier, which prevents delays that are caused by issues normally found late in the cycle. Bugs detected and fixed early are less expensive, keeping your project quality up and costs down.
- Minimize Testing Costs – Pay only for what you need with our SQA Solution On-Demand delivery model. This allows you to tailor your testing solutions so you can focus your budget dollars where they're most needed.

On the heels of her captivating debut, The Tea House on Mulberry Street, comes Ireland's best-selling author Sharon Owens' new novel of passion, romance, and regret, and the winding paths to falling in love. Johnny "Hollywood" Hogan owns the ballroom on Magnolia Street, where sisters Kate and Shirley Winters, along with other regulars, go every Saturday night to escape the realities of Belfast life, and to seek fun and romance. Free-spirited Shirley has a mad crush on a boy named Declan Greenwood, while thoroughly modern Kate likes plenty of variety in her wardrobe (and her love life) and is determined to get married before her younger sister. She'll take anyone who'll have her, even if it has to be that greasy, though not entirely unattractive, mechanic who has been hanging around lately. The crowd at Hogan's is always lively, but that doesn't mean all problems have been left at the door. Johnny's grandparents are afraid that he'll retire and shut the ballroom down. Johnny yearns for Marion, his old love (and Declan's mother), while Marion starts to worry that her long-held secret will finally be revealed. But it doesn't take long for all of the ballroom's patrons to discover that, even without velvet-lined balconies and crystal chandeliers, the magic of the twinkling lights and soft music will help them find just what they're looking for, whether it be family, friendship, or even true love.More

Senate passes Medicare bill that includes Richardton grant program
DICKINSON - Health care providers across the country, and especially hospital officials in Richardton and Dickinson, are singing the praises of the U.S. Senate today after it overturned an earlier vote and passed a Medicare bill Wednesday afternoon that stopped billions of dollars in planned cuts for physician reimbursements.
Richardton and Dickinson hospital officials are additionally thankful for the bill's passage as it includes a program to allow the Richardton Memorial Hospital and Health Center to apply for a $1 million grant program if it chooses to convert to a nursing home. The grant language was conceived by Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., in an ongoing effort to find a solution so Richardton can convert is facility, thereby relinquishing its Medicare Critical Access Hospital status that provides increased reimbursements for services provide.
Financially troubled St. Joseph's Hospital and Health Center in Dickinson can't apply for Critical Access Hospital status under existing federal regulations because it is within 35 miles of the nearest hospital with Critical Access status. St. Joe's continues to take steps to address over $13 million in operational losses that have accumulated since fiscal 2002.
On June 24, the House passed the Medicare bill with the grant language by a 355-59 vote, which was a large enough margin to stop any presidential veto. The Senate two days later originally fell one vote short of the 60 votes needed to pass the bill. Wednesday afternoon, however, the measure passed by a 69-30 vote, as the Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., who is suffering from a cancerous brain tumor, made a special trip to the Senate chambers to cast a vote in support of the Medicare package.
"I return to the Senate today to keep a promise to our senior citizens, and that's to protect Medicare," the Associated Press reported the senator said in a statement issued by his office as the vote was unfolding.
The AP continued in reporting Kennedy's vote made 60, and when Republicans saw the outcome was sealed, several of them joined Democrats to pad the margin.
Lawmakers are under pressure from doctors and the elderly patients they serve to void a 10.6 percent pay cut for doctors treating Medicare patients, the AP reported. It kicked in July 1 because of a funding formula that establishes lower reimbursement rates when Medicare spending levels exceed established targets. The AP reported some doctors say they'll quit taking new patients if the cuts stand.
Democratic presidential nominee-in-waiting Sen. Barrack Obama issued an e-mail after the Senate vote listing the losses in Medicare reimbursements that were saved as a result of Wednesday's vote. Obama's e-mail stated $30 million in Medicare payments to North Dakota physicians would be lost by December 2009 if the cuts go through.
The e-mail said that would average $15,000 per physician and would impact 7,055 employees and 98,257 Medicare patients.
"Today's vote was a tremendous victory for all of North Dakota," Conrad said in a press release. "Our doctors and nurses provide some of the best health care in the nation - yet they often receive some of the lowest rates of Medicare reimbursement. This bill begins to correct that inequity."
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., also praised the Senate vote Wednesday and said in his press release, "Had we not acted again to overturn the Republican majority's filibuster, there would have been substantial cuts to Medicare physician payments, and health care in rural states like North Dakota would have been put at risk."
Conrad and Dorgan were joined by Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., in encouraging President Bush to quickly sign the Medicare bill.
"When the Senate Republicans blocked passage of the Medicare bill, I was alarmed about the consequences this would have - a sharp reduction in Medicare reimbursement could impair health care access for seniors and hurt health care delivery in North Dakota," Pomeroy said in a press release after the Senate vote Wednesday. "Now, with the veto-proof passage of this bill in both houses of Congress, I urge the president to quickly sign this bill."
The local task force that has been meeting to resolve the situation before the Richardton and Dickinson hospitals gathered again Wednesday morning in advance of the Senate vote, Richardton Administrator Jim Opdahl said. Opdahl said representatives from the congressional delegation gave an update on the Medicare bill efforts and "they thought they were a vote short of the 60," Opdahl said.
When informed about the vote turnaround Wednesday afternoon, Opdahl said the conversion grant language included in the Medicare bill "will benefit St. Joe's and what needs to happen to benefit the Richardton community as well."
Opdahl said Richardton officials are focusing on the idea of converting to a skilled-nursing facility initially, with a long-term plan that could include other options. He has found the task force effort, which also includes state, local and St. Joe's officials, to be extremely positive.
"All the participants have really generated some positive things and responses," Opdahl said. "I think we're getting really close to laying this thing out so it can happen for both communities."
St. Joe's officials have previously stated that acquiring Critical Access status alone does not allow the Dickinson facility to break even financially, but instead positions it close enough to where it can then take other steps to balance the financial aspects of the overall operation.

Cook the bacon in a Dutch oven over medium heat until just crisp. Add the onion and garlic and sweat until translucent, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir to coat in the rendered bacon fat. Add the vinegar, reduce the heat to low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by three-quarters and the cabbage is tender, about 12 minutes. Add the orange juice and cook until reduced by half, about 5 more minutes.
Remove the cabbage from the heat and fold in the apple. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.

Girls, I need your help!
So this girl was sitting in front of me in the library. I thought she was very cute, we had an eye contact but suddenly she left but her stuff was there. I also had to leave so left me business card, wrote my cell number and "Call me!". The day after she texted me and I set a date for a week. We had a 4h first date in a romantic bar, she texted me right after the date that thank you and she had good time, I replied me too... I texted her after 4 days and after some conversation, I asked her out for Friday, she said she can't but she's free Saturday... I called her tonight (Tuesday) to set the sat night , she didn't reply but called back after 2 hours and after 20 min talk, I asked her for Saturday night. She said she's free but she wants to tell me something. She said: I got out of a relationship 3 weeks ago and I'm in transition and don't wanna be in a new relationship. I told her I don't wanna dive in to a relationship either and I also got out of a short relationship 1.5 month ago and let's take things slowly. She said I just wanted to be transparent and know if you'll be ok IN CASE this turns to a friendship. I told her, to be honest, I'm not looking for friends but let's continue things slowly and see what happens in future. We're now having a date Saturday night.
I live in NY that dating scene is super fast and at the moment I'm dating 2 other girls but she's the only one that I feel there might be a future. I think I took it slowly with her, maybe I shouldn't have called her and just kept it with texting.
I wanted to move things to next level on the second date (maybe kiss her) but I don't think it'd be appropriate after this conversation. What should I do now?
She seemed to be liking me, she texted me a day after I give her my number and she texted me right after the date but this conversation on the first phone call was a turn off.
Any suggestion how to continue?
Thanks a lot beautiful ladies : )

Author | exchange4media News Service | Saturday, Mar 12,2005 8:27 AM
Radio Mirchi has announced that Mirchi KAAN Awards will be held in Mumbai on April 22. The award is an attempt to recognise the need and importance of rewarding the excellent work done by advertising agencies on radio.
Foods, beverages, toiletries and household care, consumer durables, homes, décor and leisure, sports, entertainment, media, retail outlets and restaurants are some of the award categories this year. There are special awards for most outstanding voice of the year, radio writer of the year, excellence in production and client of the year.
Prashant Panday, COO, Entertainment Network (India) Limited (ENIL), said, "Category building is an important aspect of radio advertising. To laud the excellence in radio advertising, we decided to institute these awards last year. Our objective is to provide a forum through which the advertising industry can showcase its creativity, reward individual accomplishment, and set new standards against which future advertising will be judged."
The jury for this event comprises of advertising stalwarts Abhijeet Choudhary, D Ramakrishnan, Elsie Nanjie, Gangadharan Menon, K V Sridhar, Mohammed Khan, Piyush Pandey, Prahlad Kakkar, Prasoon Joshi, R Balakrishnan, Rajat Dholakia, Ram Madhvani, Ram Sampath, Ravi Deshpande and Rekha Nigam.
Commenting on the judging process, Prasoon Joshi, Regional Creative Director South & South-East Asia, McCann-Erickson, said, "Presentation of awards is solely on the basis of merit and is not mandatory in any category. But clearly radio advertising has evolved over the last one year as is obvious from the sneak preview of the entries received this year."
The radio station is expecting 350 entries this year and it will sponsor two radio creative writers below the age of 30 to the Cannes Advertising festival. The outstanding category will be eligible for the much coveted crystal award to be awarded to the agency of the year.
McCann Erickson, JWT Bangalore, Euro RSCG, and Everest Mumbai went away with the awards last year.

After the Dexters had narrowly reached Mandark's castle and the three other Mandarks had arrived, all the Dexters charge in to fight holding their wrenches. But when we see the next clip of the youngest Dexter, he no longer is holding his wrench.
When the Mandarks are running after the Dexters to stop them from reversing the core to positive, the Mandark with only his brain left is moving alone. Nobody is carrying him.
When Dexter is trying to escape his future home in the time when Mandark has gone corporate, as Dexter slides down the banister you can clearly see the closet has no door at all, but when dexter reaches the closet, it has a door, and it is closed.
(being chased by future police in his future house)
Dexter: Where is the front door?
(opens a door to reveal another closet)
Dexter: (runs frantically) Where is the front door? (stops a moment) Wait! (runs again) I wonder if my old emergency exit is still here.
(twists the lamp shade and pulls the switch, causing him to jump into the trap door underneath the drawer and out)
Dexter 4: WHO DARES TO DISTURB THE GREAT DEXTER WHILE HE DROPS SCIENCE UPON THE WORLD?
Dexter 1: We are the Dexters of the past. We have come from the past to try to reach your all-knowing presence!
Dexter 4: PRESENTS? I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY? I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN!
[Trying to stop the Dexters from getting the Neurotomic Proto-Core.]
Mandark 1: NOOO! I've always wanted the Core!
Mandark 2: NOOO! I stole the Core!
Mandark 3: NOOO! The Core is mine!
Mandark 4: NOOO! Just because I'm bitter and jealous!
Dexter 1:Goodbye Dexter!
Dexter 3:Goodbye Dexter!
Dexter 2:Goodbye Dexter!
Dexter 1:Goodbye Dexter!
Dexter 4:Goodbye Dexter!
Dexter 2:Goodbye Dexter!
Dexter 4:G'ybe Billy!
Dexter 4: Hello
Dexter 2: Hi
Dexter 1: Hello
Dexter 4: What?
2: Huh
1: Stop it
2: What
4: Hello
2: Hi
4: Hello
1: stop it
2: What?
4: Hi
2: Hello
4: What
2: What?
1: Stop it!
4:... Where's my presents?
Mandark is now more of a "villain" to Dexter rather than a "rival".
Christine Cavanaugh, the voice of Dexter, won an Annie Award in 2000 for this TV movie.
This TV movie features the old 1980s Hanna-Barbera "Swirling Star" logo at the end, which was also used on The Powerpuff Girls, complete with a newer Time Warner byline on the logo.
Dexter's parents only have a short appearance at the beginning playing Twister.
This is the last episode to use older animation.
Starting here, Dexter has had one button on his lab coat instead of two.
The 30 year old (approx) Dexter is voiced by Jeff Bennet (Dexter's Dad), but with Dexter's distinctive accent added. Logical.
Whenever the old Dexter addresses the second Dexter, he always calls him Billy. The same thing happens in "Old Man Dexter."
Christine Cavanaugh provided the voices for all 4 Dexters. They just sped it up or slowed it down for each one.
This is a made-for-TV movie and was 60 minutes long.
This is a pun of the famous Wizard of Oz, in which the Scarecrow and Tin Man say lions, tigers, and bears, and Dorothy says, "oh my."
