Lamar basketball tips off exhibition games Tuesday
Lamar University men's basketball went north of the border Monday without much knowledge of its coming opponents.
"We're only concerned with ourselves," Lamar coach Pat Knight said last week.
Lamar focused mainly on strong defensive play during the eight practices over 10 days leading to the off-season trip to Canada.
The Cardinals play at 6:30 tonight against the University of Alberta and then play two games Wednesday and Thursday against the University of Calgary. All games are at Calgary's Jack Simpson Gym.
Alberta and Calgary are members of the Canadian Interuniversity Sport, the Canadian version of the NCAA. Alberta ended last season with an 18-11 overall record. Calgary went 8-16.
The Canadian schools will also play games against Middle Tennessee State in a four-team "Battle of the Border" event.
Knight hoped to set a tone for the coming season by having players focus mostly on defense during practices. Lamar will learn more about the motion offense during individual workouts in September and when practices begin Oct. 14.
All returning players plus newcomer Nikko Acosta are eligible to play this week.
The NCAA allows teams to play out-of-season exhibitions in foreign countries once every four years. Former coach Steve Roccaforte arranged the trip before his departure after last season.

Beginner Pull-Up Progression Workout: This workout is the follow-up to the beginner push-up progression workout I recently shared! This workout focuses on strengthening your lats, shoulders, and triceps, which all work together to get you over the bar in a pull-up!
Similar to the beginner push-up progression workout that I shared two weeks ago, this workout starts out with three supersets and finishes out with 4 rounds of conditioning. As a quick refresher on supersets, they move back and forth between two moves and muscle groups, allow you to build endurance and avoid burning out right away. I love adding supersets to my workouts because they allow you to rest less and complete your workout in a shorter amount of time.
By focusing on your lats (the big muscles near your shoulder blades//armpits)) in this beginner pull-up progression workout, you'll learn to engage these muscles in the way you'll need for a pull-up. When I was first working on getting a pull-up, I would get stuck hanging under the bar. It was like there was a faulty wire between my brain and back. Once I built up enough strength and finally understood how to engage my lats, I was able to start progressing my pull-ups!
Another great cue I've heard is to picture pulling the bar apart with your hands. This cue really helped me realize how to engage my muscles in a pull-up and begin to inch towards the bar.
You'll notice that there aren't any pull-ups in this beginner pull-up progression workout.
That's because I want you to focus on building strength before getting frustrated with pull-ups. Keep your eye out for a full body workout with both push-ups and pull-ups soon! Until then, complete this beginner pull-up progression workout one day per week and the push-up workout another, with at least one rest day in between. As for the other days of the week, try this full body travel workout below, or mix in a full body routine of your choice!

The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
Reviewed by Coral
Panem is a future post-apocalyptic North America, made up of a Capitol that rules over twelve Districts. To punish the districts for rebelling against them 74 years ago - an uprising in which, as the Capitol always reminds them, District 13 was wiped off the map - every year each district must send two child Tributes, one boy and one girl, to compete in the Hunger Games. Forced to survive whatever the Capitol throws at them, fighting and killing each other, only one will be crowned the champion.
For Katniss Everdeen life in the poor coal-mining District 12 has been a struggle ever since her father died in a mining accident. She has struggled to support a mother lost in grief and a younger sister. She and her friend Gale illegally hunt in the woods beyond the electric fence surrounding their District, risking execution to feed their families. Every year when the Reaping comes around, Katniss fears that her name will be pulled from the container; she has never worried that it will be her sister's.
To save her sister, Katniss volunteers in her place, condemning herself to an almost certain death. Now she is off to the Capitol, where it is not only the other Tributes in the Arena she must battle against, but the politics driving the Hunger Games as well.
If the movie had not been made, I probably wouldn't have read this book. But I wanted to see what the hype was about.
I am actually surprised that I really enjoyed this book. A lot.
I think the main character could have easily fallen into Mary Sue territory, but I found her well written as a sympathetic heroine that I was rooting for.
The whole atmosphere of the book, the hopelessness of the people in the Districts, the desperation of the games, is just done so well that it drew me in completely. And there's a part near the end that almost gutted me.
I do wish we could have seen some of the other action happening in the book, but I understand why it's only told from Katniss' point of view. In other books, where I've found it takes away from the book, here it works well because, like Katniss, we don't really know what's going on as she is trying to survive the Games.
Grade: A
Ruby's Review
Like my sister, I had no intentions of reading this book (even when the movie came out) but since she liked it and a few of my friends liked it, I gave it a try and was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed it. The story was well thought out and was interesting, the plot flowed nicely, the characters were well rounded and developed for the most part and I actually liked the main character. Usually I find main female characters in books geared for a younger audience annoying and I loathe them, but I was actually cheering for Katniss.
The one part of the book I found unbearable was the 'romantic' subplot between Katniss and Peeta and there was a chunk of the book near the end devoted to it. It had nothing to do with my hatred of romantic subplots in general because I always find them superfluous to the story; this one actually fit with the plot. To me it just felt unbelievable. I have no idea if that was due to the fact that we are made to believe that Katniss is incredibly awkward around people or if the way the author wrote it made it just incredibly awkward. It just came off to me as very forced and didn't mesh with the rest of the book, style wise.
Other than that I have to admit I liked it.
Grade: B

Meant to post this last night, but was distracted by actual story writing (which is a good thing, considering I'm still a bit behind). This quote comes to us from Philip Pullman, via the weekly NaNoWriMo pep talk.
When asked, "Where do your ideas come from?", he replies:
I don't know where they come from, but I know where they come to: they come to my desk, and if I'm not there, they go away again.
So get ye off the evil temptress that is Internet, and back to your writing desk – or wherever it is you write best. That's where I'm off to now – the living room couch, with my trusty laptop and a fresh pot of coffee. Remember, there's really only one iron-clad rule when it comes to novelling – and that's to KEEP WRITING! Good luck heading into week three, everyone.

Singapore, 8th May 2014
Scheduling your time is probably one of the most challenging things in running a practice like ours. For some reason (now that I want to feel semi-retired 🙂 ) I seem to be busier then ever with a very hectic schedule planned over the next 6 weeks which will see me go from Singapore to Qatar then on to China, Indonesia, Australia, the US (Light Fair) and back to China before I may have some breathing space… Now that my schedule and meeting dates have all been confirmed over the last few days, something that is less obvious then you may think thanks to conflicting demands from various clients, I can focus on filling in the dots which means making sure I am prepared for all the meetings and presentations I am up for. Not only that, I also have to make sure that any involvement/input from my part outside my travelling in deliverables to our clients by the agreed deadlines over this period is being factored in my timing.
Thanks to my brilliant new assistant who really takes a load of my shoulders, I can delegate a lot of this planning and organising to her, freeing up time for myself to work on the various tasks I need to complete before or just for these trips. Now that the office has moved to a new location I have decided to maintain a small skeleton office at my apartment in Singapore to allow me to work from there away from the office hustle and focus on the work at hand without the usual office disturbances. So I will keep this blog a bit shorter then usual and get on with some other pressing matters. But as you can see I keep committed to my blog despite all the scheduling challenges…
Light Watch 5-77: As I will be traveling I will be sitting in many different conference and meeting facilities…from corporate offices to your typical site office, some more rudimentary then others 🙂

However, carpets are also very susceptible to dirt, especially if there are pets or kids managing you. Some of the more prevalent stains on floor coverings include beverage spills, ink stains and food stains. Some stains aren't very hard to remove. However, other stains might require special cleaning techniques and merchandise to eliminate them. If your home has rugs or carpets, it's a wise decision to become familiar with what cleaning techniques and solutions are around for you. Most people know about business. However, when it comes to eliminating different stains your carpet might get exposed to, there are numerous other methods that can be used well. . residential carpet cleaning las vegas Carpet Absorbent MethodThe good thing about this technique is that it doesn't take very much time. Additionally it is a very simple process. All you do is directly spray water to the carpet's surface. An absorbent mixture or cleaning detergent needs to be put into the lake. For top results, organic solvents needs to be used. Once you have sprayed the carpet, vacuum up all soil particles. One big advantage of this method is quite little water is used, so that it doesn't require much time for the carpet to dry.residential carpet cleaning henderson nvThe Bonnet MethodIf you are searching to get a quite effective dry cleaning method, the bonnet technique is highly recommended. An oscillating or rotating brush can be used with water to dampen the rug area you are attempting to completely clean. Or you might sprinkle water around the carpet or rug instead. A pad is used to remove the excess water. Press the pad gently on the mat. To completely clean carpeting, use a rotating brush. This method is better for removing stains instead of cleaning every one of the carpet in the room.Shampoo MethodTo use this process, you can either use the wet shampoo or foam shampoo method. Neutral shampoo is used with the wet shampoo way of cleaning woolen rugs. Remember that shampoos containing ammonia frequently leave odors in carpets, particularly ones that have been woolen. The froth shampoo method involves spraying the rug sparingly and then cleaning it having a brush or damp sponge. Following the carpet has dried, the dirt particles may be vacuumed up.BusinessThis is actually the most common carpet cleaning service method useful for households. First, vacuum carpeting or rug to remove dust particles and dirt. Any particles that the vacuum cleaner doesn't pick up are removed using a hot water jet and detergent. In order to take away the stains completely, the detergent must take 5-10 minutes. The dirtier the rug is, the more time you need to wait. The a steam cleaner or vacuum with water tank is utilized to extract the hot water.To prevent bad odors, the carpet needs to be permitted to completely dry. Due to technological advancements, these day there are extraction vacuums available that offer more powerful extraction and take a shorter time for carpets to dry. You may also work with a professional cleaning service to clear your carpets. They use probably the most current equipment and cleaning techniques.

I read the basis of this post a while ago, made a note of it, and expanded on it over time. I would like to share it with you, as it moves, and angers me.
Take a keen, passionate, dedicated, caring and compassionate person. Recruit them to your organisation and do the following:
- Undervalue and ignore them – never ask for their opinion
- Regularly point out to them everything they have done wrong, whether it is their fault or not
- Always do this in front of their colleagues
- Never notice, or compliment them for, anything they have done right
- Ignore their hard work and effort
- Turn a blind eye to all those missed lunches and their working well over their paid hours, or taking work home
- Ridicule them whenever they speak well of your organisation to others
- Ignore any help they give to colleagues, especially new recruits
- Take no interest in their personal life, interests and families
- Deprive them of any development and training
- Get them to do the job of 2, then 3, people
- Set arbitrary targets, that change over time once hit
- Ensure that blame always falls on the staff, never management, and especially senior management
- Regularly have redundancy programmes, and arbitrary cost cutting, without explaining why
- Operate with computer systems that are an antique compared to those they have in their own homes
- Emphasise discrimination, like allocated parking spaces, separate entrances for senior staff, perks, bonuses and the like
- Ensure that you have processes and procedures that can humiliate, such as rules on when one can go to the toilet and telephone usage
Now fast forward two years. Still keen, passionate, dedicated, caring and compassionate? Still there? No I thought not.
The biggest problem for efficiency and productivity in many contact centres is excessively high levels of headcount turnover.
I wonder why?!

Department & MGSM Joint Seminar Series - Feb 2018 Prof Hugo M. Kehr
Transformational Leadership Meets Follower Motives
Prof. Dr. Hugo M. Kehr
Chair of Psychology
Technische Universität München, TUM School of Management
The present research was aimed at (a) establishing conceptual links of transformational leadership dimensions and specific motives, (b) testing effects of followers' implicit motive dispositions on their preferences for distinct transformational leadership dimensions, and (c) testing the interaction of transformational leadership dimensions and followers' implicit motive dispositions on work-related outcomes. Firstly, an analysis of the research literature regarding the three transformational leadership dimensions: individualized consideration (InCs), inspirational motivation (InMo), and intellectual stimulation (InSt) concerning their affiliation, power, and achievement motive content revealed the expected links between InCs and affiliation and between InMo and power. Second, results from an experimental study showed that the strength of followers' implicit affiliation motive predicted their preference for InCs, the strength of followers' implicit power motive predicted their preference for InMo, and the strength of followers' implicit achievement motive predicted their preference for InSt. Lastly, in two experimental studies, we confirmed that the strength of the followers' implicit affiliation (power) motive positively moderated the relations between a leader displaying InCs (InMo) and followers' performance as well as leader influence. The results of these studies corroborate the notion that transformational leadership is effective in that it arouses the followers's implicit motives. The applied relevance of these findings is discussed.
Kehr*, H. M., Amann*, D. & Giessner, S.,
*First authorship of this research is shared between Dorena Amann und Hugo M. Kehr.
Speaker's Bio
The research work of Professor Kehr looks at the effects of goals and subconscious motives, the role of will power and self-regulation, fears and overcoming them, and the effects of visions and leadership styles on motivation. After completing on undergraduate course in business studies at LMU Munich and the University of Montpellier, Porfessor Kehr earned his PhD and acquired his postdoctoral teaching qualification (habilitation) in psychology at LMU in 2000. He went on to conduct research at UC Berkeley as a recipient of a Humboldt Research Award. In 2002 he received a Heisenberg grant and was appointed to posts at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland and IESE in Barcelona (2003). From 2004 to 2006 he held a chair at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. Since 2006 he has held the Chair of Psychology at TUM. Professor Kehr has published four monographs on his work as well as numerous articles in prestigious German and international publications. Since 2008 he has organized the Munich Symposium on Motivation (MSM) at TUM, a conference that brings together leading international researchers (http://www.professoren.tum.de/en/kehr-hugo-martin/).

there is awful information for some LinkedIn customers, as a ton of account details for the social community have just long gone on sale, despite the fact that they were pilfered in a protection breach that took place years ago.
you could recall the breach which happened in 2012 and reputedly ended in 6.five million passwords being stolen, however it appears the authentic gravity of this incident is handiest now being realised.
Motherboard spoke to the hacker who has posted the sparkling account details on the market online, and the individual referred to as 'Peace' claims there aren't any much less than 167 million debts concerned, despite the fact that simplest 117 million of those have each emails and hashed passwords.
those are extremely traumatic numbers, and unsurprisingly LinkedIn has already responded to this news with a blog post.
LinkedIn said it turned into aware about a brand new set of statistics which has just been released claiming to be the details of over 100 million bills, and the social community is taking this very seriously, pronouncing it's miles introducing "instant steps to invalidate the passwords of the accounts impacted".
those account owners may be contacted by using LinkedIn to reset their passwords, so when you have been affected, you have possibly already heard about it or will do very quickly.
creating a hash of it
LinkedIn additionally referred to that returned in 2012 at the time of the breach, its reaction covered a obligatory password reset for money owed the social community believed to be compromised, but that number turned into far smaller than the actual figure if this leak is certainly kosher. Which it truely feels like it's far.
when this incident occurred four years ago, LinkedIn got into trouble for failing to "salt" password hashes before storing them on servers, meaning even though the passwords obtained have been encrypted, the encryption wasn't as watertight as it must were.
This ended in a class-movement lawsuit being filed towards the social media web site, so it changed into quite a stressful affair for LinkedIn all spherical – but the pain is not over but, it might appear.
In its weblog put up, LinkedIn reminded us that it now hashes and salts each password, and also advised members to make use of two-thing authentication which the website online supports, to save you an attacker from having access to an account even though they do manipulate to analyze the password.

CBA said it is mindful of the possible class action but has not yet been served with any legal proceedings, adding it's going to continue to keep the market informed of developments.
The Dirty Truth on CBA Share Price
In case you have any legal issues please contact the suitable media file owners or host websites. The CBA renounceable entitlement issue is a good example of how easily institutions can profit at the cost of less sophisticated smaller investors. The issue here isn't the class action but the underlying company misbehaviour that led to the class action. The only question is the thing that needs to be done in order to reduce the risks involved and boost the probabilities of succeeding in purchasing a business for sale. The response to that question is CBA. So, because you can see, you're not alone. The majority of them don't know the best places to begin.
Driving right to the neighborhood bank branch to pause in line and hear fellow patrons complain is one particular area. Connections speed is merely a part the of the entire picture. Therefore, if your connection speed is too low, you might want to upgrade it. If direct connection doesn't address the packet loss, you might want to get in touch with your Internet Service Provider.
When customers with an existing CBA home loan apply for a new mortgage, the bank will assess their capacity to continue to settle the current home loan in precisely the same way they assess their capacity to pay a new house loan. When you get a business for sale by owner, the seller may even be unaware of the true value of that distinct FSBO. The business is going to have the ability to improve dividends too. Purchasing a wonderful company with a robust outlook at an affordable price is almost always a fantastic investment, so let's also take a peek at the provider's future expectations.
Investors would have received the advantage of franking credits also. Additional brokers are experts in managing the different varieties of FSBO businesses. A tenured broker also possesses the skills which will help you locate your perfect FSBO businesses, together with the ability to figure out the appropriate price for such transactions. For a very reasonable fee, business brokers present a variety of benefits in purchasing an organization. Finding a dependable and competent small business broker can significantly impact your effort to obtain FSBO businesses.

Ethiopia Christian group to stage anti-gay demo
Addis Ababa (AFP) - An Ethiopian religious group on Thursday announced plans to stage an anti-gay rally this month to protest what it called "rising incidents" of homosexuality in the conservative Horn of Africa nation.
The initiative comes after Uganda and Nigeria recently passed tough anti-gay laws, although Ethiopian authorities said they were "indifferent" to the demonstration.
"The country has seen an increase in gay-related activities and this has reached an alarming stage," said Dereje Negash, the head of a Christian Association, Woyniye Abune Teklehaimanot.
The demonstration is set to take place in the Ethiopian capital on April 26, the first mass rally against homosexual rights in the country. It is jointly organised with the Addis Ababa Youth Forum, a civil society organisation, and has been given the green light by city authorities.
The Ethiopian government, however, insisted that any group had the right to freedom of expression and that it was not for or against the rally.
Homosexuality is already illegal in the country like in most of Africa's 54 nations, and punishable by up to 15 years in prison.
"We are indifferent, we just see it as the right to have a demonstration, otherwise we don't support or oppose," Information Minister Redwan Hussein told AFP.
Ethiopia is a deeply religious society, with over 60 percent of the population practising Orthodox Christianity, according to official figures.

Hastings, Inslee Fight Yucca Shutdownby Annette Cary
The News Tribune, May 8, 2010
President Obama will not be allowed to abandon the Yucca Mountain, Nev., nuclear repository if they have their way, said Democratic and Republican congressmen Friday.
Rep. Doc Hastings, R-Wash., and Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., visited the Columbia Generating Station's fuel storage lot north of Richland on Friday with Vic Parrish, Energy Northwest chief executive, to discuss the future of irradiated fuel stored there.
"We do not intend to allow any administration to shut down Yucca Mountain and leave us with a mountain of waste and a mountain of debt," Inslee said.
Not only is ensuring that the nation have a place to dispose of weapons and commercial nuclear waste an important issue to those who live in the Tri-Cities, it's also important to his west side constituents, he said.
Waste from commercial nuclear power plants, like Energy Northwest's Columbia Generating Station, and high-level radioactive waste left from weapons production at the Hanford nuclear reservation was expected to be sent to Yucca Mountain.
But Obama pledged to end the project during his presidential campaign and his administration has moved to withdraw the license application for the project and prevent it from ever being refiled.
Hastings and Inslee believe that because an act of Congress designated Yucca Mountain as the nation's high-level nuclear waste repository, the Obama administration lacks the authority to terminate it.
"We'll have the last say because we had the first say," Hastings said. The majority of congressional representatives and senators agree with Hastings and Inslee that shutting down Yucca Mountain is a bad idea, Hastings said.
Northwest ratepayers have been charged fees of $290 million on the power they've used from the Columbia Generating Station to pay for construction and operation of a national repository and continue to pay into the fund.
But after Yucca Mountain failed to open as planned in 1998, Energy Northwest began building an above-ground storage pad for the fuel in 2001. The outdoor pad near the power plant now holds 27 casks of used fuel and will have 39 by 2014.
"We're prepared to store fuel here for a great many years, but it's a temporary storage," Parrish said.
This spring a federal court awarded Energy Northwest nearly $57 million because of Department of Energy delays in opening Yucca Mountain. That covers the costs of the storage pad's licensing, design, construction and security, plus the 122-ton steel and concrete storage casks and the heavy equipment needed to move them.
DOE has filed notice that it plans to appeal the decision.
DOE has spent about $10 billion on Yucca Mountain, engineering it so conservatively that there is no reason not to move forward with it, Inslee said.
"It's the most characterized rock on planet Earth," he said.
The Obama administration has appointed a Blue Ribbon Commission to study what to do with the waste that was expected to go to Yucca Mountain, but it has been told that Yucca Mountain cannot be considered as one of the options.
That puts Hanford at risk of being designated the replacement waste repository for the nation, Inslee said, pointing out that Hanford is on the Columbia River.
It also raises questions about the future of nuclear energy in the nation.
"The bottom line is if we are going to have a robust nuclear policy in this country, we are going to have to have a national repository," Hastings said.
Washington state and three Tri-City business leaders also have filed lawsuits over the matter in the U.S. District Court of Appeals. Earlier this week the court denied Washington state's request for an injunction that would prevent DOE from continuing to dismantle Yucca Mountain operations.

Be the closer
Negotiation touches every part of our lives. Relationships in business and in our personal lives are negotiated. And the skills to do it effectively can often mean the difference between getting what you want or losing out. You don't get what you deserve, you get what you negotiate!
In the first section of the book, How to be a Great Negotiator, written by property economist, investor and developer Neville Berkowitz, the characteristic traits of a great negotiator are explored in short, bite-sized nuggets of advice.
Over the next 132 days, we will bring you the traits needed to succeed at the art of negotiating.
(Courtesy of PersonalEmpowerment.co)
18 Closer
A negotiation is not concluded until it is closed by a Closer, with the necessary paperwork signed and the financial obligations finalised. Anyone can open a door and engage in a negotiation. Anyone can keep the communication going, leading towards the finish line. But only a Closer can close a negotiation. Until you are a Closer, you are not a good negotiator, let alone a great one. Yet when you study the literature on negotiations, you will find a paucity of information on how to be a Closer.
Being a Closer is more akin to salesmanship than to negotiation. But a good or great negotiator knows how to close. Closing begins with a positive, optimistic state of mind that nonverbally transmits the message, in a subtle but persistent manner that we are here to close the negotiation, now.
When all the preparation and groundwork has been done correctly, walking over the finish line together, hand in hand, should be a formality, providing the trigger has been found, and confidence to pull the trigger is there. This "trigger" is set when three factors line up. These are:
- You know the other party's key needs or goals in the deal.
- You know that your offer in the negotiation meets those needs or serves those goals.
- You know that they also now know or believe this to be the case.
When these three factors converge and you sense that the time is right, the next step is to confidently make the close. It can be as simple as saying pleasantly, "Well, I think we've got a deal." You can look them in the eye with a smile and put your right hand forward to shake hands. After that it's a simple practical matter of attending to the paperwork and the financial details.
Closing is no more mysterious or complicated than this. There are many closing techniques you can learn, but they all depend on these three "trigger" factors, and on you having the confidence to close the deal when the time comes. If your fear of rejection is unmanageable, then get out of the frontline of negotiations. The success, and failure, experienced in negotiations usually happens at being able to, or not being able to, state the closing line and finalise the deal thereafter. A great negotiator is a great closer.

Cyril Mann. Ink and watercolour, entitled 'Cyclist in the Sun'.
A collection of London scenes from the studio of Cyril Mann (1911-1980), a London-born artist, is being offered for sale at Sotheby's, Olympia in the 20th Century Modern British & Irish Art sale on Wednesday, February 16, 2005. Views of Islington, Clerkenwell, Tower Bridge, the City and the East End are all featured and highlight Mann's deep interest in the city of London in the 1940s and 1950s.
The various London scenes make up only a part of the entire Cyril Mann collection on offer, however. The whole collection of more than 65 lots, spans the progress, styles and themes of Mann's entire career. It is the first time that any of the works in the collection have appeared on the market, having remained with the artist's family since his death in 1980. Works by Mann have rarely been exhibited before, so the sale will be a unique opportunity not only to purchase his work but also to see a large number of his paintings on view to the public for the first time. Estimates for the paintings range from Ј600-Ј3,500.
Mann was born in London but in his early years moved with his family to Nottingham. In 1923 at the age of 12 he became the youngest boy to win a scholarship to the Nottingham College of Art, and four years later he moved to Canada and worked as a missionary. He returned to London in 1932 to continue his studies and he was sponsored to attend the Royal Academy Schools in 1935, where he developed his bright expressionist style of painting. Following his time at the Royal Academy he moved to Paris and attended the Grand Chaumiиres.
During the Second World War, Mann served with the Royal Artillery Force, settling in Finsbury once the war was over. The presence of the sun in his pictures of post-war London and the power of its shattering rays bouncing off the urban landscapes evoke a curiously peaceful atmosphere despite the obvious Blitz devastation to the city.
In the early 1950s Mann went on to explore the more tangible effect of light on objects in a style that became known as 'Solid Shadow'. The 1960s brought another change in his style, a development that appears to have coincided with the start of his second marriage. From the 1960s onwards Mann's palette became brighter and his brushwork more vibrant. His subject matter also became increasingly more domestic.
Mann's drawing of 'Clerkenwell Church', which dates from 1957 and is expected to fetch Ј800-Ј1,200. An ink and watercolour, entitled 'Cyclist in the Sun', which is to be sold with three other similar works. The group is estimated at Ј800-Ј1,200. 'Double Decker Bus', is yet another highlight from the collection. It is to be sold together with two similar works and is estimated to fetch Ј600-Ј800. Other London views depicted by Mann include 'Tower Bridge', 'Welsh Chapel, Islington', 'Bomb Site Near St Pauls', 'London Street Scene By Lamp Light' and 'St Mary's, Walthamstow'.
If you are keen to learn more about Cyril Mann and his collection, John Russell Taylor, author of 'The Sun is God: The Life and Work of Cyril Mann' will be giving a talk about the artist at Sotheby's, Olympia on Sunday, February 13 at 3pm. Doors open at 12 noon and complimentary refreshments will be served from 2.30pm.

Puerto Rico is still in a state of devastation more than three weeks after Hurricane Maria hit the island. Much of the island is still without electricity or cellular service, and only 63 percent of the island has access to clean drinking water. As a result, residents are becoming increasingly desperate. Some are resorting to drinking potentially contaminated water, as it is all they can find.
A growing problem facing the island is their hospitals are filled to capacity following the storm. Injuries that resulted from the hurricane as well as those that need special care have left hospitals full at capacity, with staff overwhelmed and at a lack of vital resources. Some hospitals have been forced to turn away patients. A floating hospital remains offshore, but hospital staff are unsure of how to send patients to the ship. The ship is less than 20 percent full, but the Puerto Rican government has been slow to refer people to the ship.
Fortunately, the island has seen some signs of progress. Many of their grocery stores are reopening, and gas shortages have begun to subside. Residents hope that in the coming weeks, electricity will be restored across more of the island, and that cleanup efforts will start to show more results. However, the restoration of resources, along with more accessibility to food, water and health care, is of great need in the United States territory.
Local News:
Teachers in the Warwick School District have recently been protesting teacher contracts and class sizes. For the last several weeks, five Warwick schools have had to close for the day as a result of teachers staging "sick outs." On Monday, a judge ordered the teachers union to not stage any strikes for the next 10 days.
The judge, Susan E. McGuirl, cited students needing to be in school for the reason why teachers must refrain from striking. The president of the teachers union claims that they are not ongoing strikes, but rather teachers are calling out because "it's cold and flu season and not everyone has had their flu shot."
While the court ruled for a temporary restrain from striking, it remains unclear if any negotiations will be made in those 10 days. Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian said he hopes the two sides can reach an agreement soon, despite little progress.
On Sunday, The SSV Oliver Hazard Perry crashed into four other boats in the Newport harbor. No one was injured, but the channel for entering and exiting the port was blocked off overnight. The crash is being blamed on the propellers of the ship becoming entangled with rope.
National News:
Bowe Bergdahl, a former United States Army Sergeant, pleaded guilty Monday to desertion and misbehavior in front of the enemy. Bergdahl could face up to life in prison.
Bergdahl was captured by the Taliban after his desertion and was held captive for nearly five years. In order to get Bergdahl released from captivity, the United States government was forced to release five Guantanamo Bay detainees in a prisoner swap. The search and recovery operations that were used in an attempt to find Bergdahl resulted in numerous United States soldiers being severely wounded.
Bergdahl claims to have deserted his post in order to inform someone about a "critical problem in his chain of command." Army Colonel Jeffery R Nance, the military judge overseeing the case, now must determine his sentence. Bergdahl is thought to have pleaded guilty in order to receive leniency from the judge.
The death toll from the California wildfires has now reached 41 people. In addition, more than 5,700 acres have been burned. The cost of the damage is expected to exceed $3 billion. Fortunately, firefighters have begun to make progress in containing the flames.
Currently, 11,000 firefighters are working to contain the 15 fires that have burned over 200,000 acres of land. Firefighters from 17 states, as well as Australia, have aided California firefighters in the difficult task of containing the wind driven flames. There is increasing hope that upcoming rain could help further contain the fires, which are approaching over 60 percent containment in some of the larger areas.
International News:
A bombing in Somalia over the weekend killed 300 people. Somali officials believe that Shabab, which is a branch of Al Qaeda, is responsible. The attackers used two truck bombs in the country's capital to carry out the attack. It is believed to be the largest attack in the country's history.
The remnants of Hurricane Ophelia have killed three people in Ireland. Thousands lost power, as many trees and wires were knocked down by strong winds. While the storm is bringing dangerous conditions, it did not cause the level of damage that recent hurricanes in the Atlantic did.
One-thousand ISIS militants have surrendered to Kurdish forces in the past several weeks. While some militants remain, Iraqi troops have announced that they have retaken a large portion of the city of Kirkuk, which is one of the terrorist organizations last strongholds. While isolated attacks from the extremist group have occurred, organized strength within the group has diminished recently.

Your Bmw 325xi must have gasoline in order to function and this also means it must have a reservoir in which to store the aforementioned gasoline. Part of the car suspension mechanism is the control arm, also known as wishbone because of its V shape, which allows your vehicle to pivot smoothly whilst steering. The Bmw 325xi control arm is an essential element of the vehicle suspension system, so change it right away if it breaks.
As the Bmw 325xi operates, it places a great deal of stress on the control arms, which could lead the arms to wear out right after a specific quantity of miles. Once you hear a bunch of knocks or noise from the control arm, it should be looked at immediately because it may require replacing. Good spare Bmw 325xi control arms are quick to mount and built with tough materials into an effective layout. Luckily, there are high-quality aftermarket control arms for your Bmw 325xi that are sold in the market today.

Let's face it: it doesn't pay to be nice all the time. The sooner we learn the art of confrontation, the sooner we'll start getting what we want out of life
When it comes to confrontation, I'm a diplomat and, frankly, it's a curse. In the interest of avoiding the merest hint of a skirmish, I've calmly eaten terrible meals in expensive restaurants, had my hair transformed into exactly the style I didn't request without complaint, and been driven in taxis the long way home, all without saying a cross word, for years.

|Contacting me:
|Best via email or office hours
Monica Mookherjee has a B.A. (Hons) in Law from Balliol College, Oxford, and M.A. and D.Phil. degrees in Political Philosophy from York University. After finishing her D.Phil., she worked as an assistant lecturer in the Philosophy Faculty at Cambridge University and then, for two years, as a tutorial fellow in Political Theory at Balliol, with an associated lectureship in the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford University. She then held a lectureship for two years in the Philosophy Department at Stirling University. She joined SPIRE in September 2004.
Dr. Mookherjee's main research interests are in the feminist and multicultural aspects of contemporary political philosophy. She is particularly interested in issues of public deliberation, citizenship and the debate about redistribution and recognition.
She is the editor of Identity, Difference and Recognition: Recent Developments in Multicultural Political Theory (special issue of the journal Ethnicities, 2003), and is currently working on a monograph on these themes, entitled Rights, Reasons, Affectivity: Feminism and a Philosophy of 'Hard Cases'.
Dr. Mookherjee also maintains an active interest in modern European feminist philosophy, especially de Beauvoir and Irigaray's ethics of sexual difference. In particular, she is concerned about the points at which continental conceptions of agency inform liberal accounts of the person in ethics and political philosophy.
She acts regularly as an external referee for the journals Contemporary Political Theory, Political Studies, The Philosophical Quarterly and The European Journal of Women's Studies.

The Olympic Games in London are upon us and it makes for great theater. Competitors of all skill levels have one attribute in common – dedication. Each of them has devoted countless hours, tireless effort and made significant sacrifices to pursue their dream. Win or lose, they have accomplished a feat few people have – to compete at the highest level in their chose field. Now translate this same concept to your world. While the equivalent of the Olympic games may not exist in the same form, that shouldn't deter any of us from being single purposed in achieving our potential. Throughout my career, I've observed my share of professionals who stopped short and chose to live life less than what was possible, and it was heartbreaking. On the other hand, I've also seen a number of people who recognize that dedication is the hallmark of those who perform at the highest level, regardless whether in a sport where you wear a jersey or serving in an organization. Dedication isn't about obsession, though at times that can help, but is about activating a high level of self awareness and aggressively pursuing a plan of action to remedy deficiencies and accelerate strengths; the convergence of talent and choice. A powerful and practical workout plan is a must. You can't just show up to the workplace, turn off your brain, offer another in a series of predictable responses to the same old questions and expect to make a difference. To pursue your potential requires a steady diet of learning, challenging your assumptions, living in the discomfort zone and loving it – the sweat, the contemplations, the pure joy of growing. Remember, growth and comfort can't coexist so let's continue our journey to get better all the time. By the way the photo is of Brady Ellison, #1 ranked archer in the world and Olympic competitor, who hails from where I live – Glendale, Arizona.
All posts for the month July, 2012
I just returned from a vacation in Southern California, enjoying the sights and sounds that it offers. Spent a few days at Pacific Beach in San Diego, trying to tame a wave or two on my boogie board. Yes, at 50 years old (I'll be 51 in November) and I'm still out there with a bunch of young(er) kids trying to push ourselves to the limit and find out just how many times we can be tossed around before we realize we're too old for the gig! I've gone boogie boarding for years and always enjoy the experience, it's exhilarating. When you catch a wave and start to ride it, you feel so…I don't know…alive. I'm not one who seeks out thrills per se, but pushing myself I've always found replenishing. I'ts healthy for us to occasionally live outside our comfort zone, feel the anxiety and keep moving forward. Too often in our lives, we want it predictable and routine, but that can numb us to the point where we don't feel much at all. Whether you catch a wave at the beach, try a new restaurant, take a different way to or from work, we're better for having the experience of feeling uncomfortable and realizing life is a verb not just a noun; life is for us to pursue and assert our mind, body and heart as we continue our journey to get better all the time.
I finally had the opportunity to watch the premiere episode of "Newsroom" on HBO. The latest Aaron Sorkin tele-drama about a cable news network and the goings-on with the people who work there. It was a thought-provoking start and forced me to re-examine the role of the fourth estate (i.e. the media) in our society today. Sorkin is a hopeless idealist, which is okay, by the way, and he paints a picture with words his actors use, to emphasize their own sense of flawed nobility of the role he/she plays in our lives.
News has changed, but not progressed, from fact-based to opinion-based and in the premiere episode, the desire is to return to the past with the powerful and simple phrase of "We Just Decided To Do It." Now living in the past is one thing, but returning to the past is quite another. You work with people who wax nostalgically about the glamorous past of how things used to be as though problems today are more significant than previously. Baby Boomers, of which I am one, tend to do this quite a bit as they reminisce and unfortunately, it can hold back the natural order of things.
Peer into your own crystal ball and forecast your own future – personal and professional. What do you see? An extrapolation of current trends or something quite different? Now look at your workplace – what's the future look like? More of the same is not very compelling, is it? Now is the optimum time to be bold and remember those useful elements of the past that may have been discarded and seek to refresh them in today's world. Public service is a noble profession and when you forget that, get out.
I encourage you to stay high-minded and remember you're having a positive impact everyday on people's lives, and most likely, the community you serve. You work in the "meaning" business and while Newsroom may turn out to be a fabulous show, which I'm sure I'll watch, the media's role is to provide facts and offer commentary about the events occurring in our world; when you serve in government you have the opportunity to make the news, not report on it. It's both powerful and fragile, always remember that as we continue our journey to "get better all the time."

In a new study released by the Brookings Institution, it appears the student debt picture is even worse than previously thought, a "development" that seems all to familiar and a bit repetitive.
The study analyzed at student loan information from the Department of Education, released in October 2017. The author, Judith Scott-Clayton, hoped to provide "a broader perspective on student debt and default" using a sample including both borrowers and non-borrowing college entrants.
The study focused on the outcomes of two distinct groups of college attendees starting school in 1995 and 2003. Highlights from the study included stark differences in default rates between black and white students along with a large discrepancy in default rates between attending state and for-profit schools.
Out of 100 students from 1995 at for-profit schools, an average of 23 defaulted within twelve years. The number jumped to 43 out of 100 students for the 2003 group. The author of the study notes that the fervor around college accountability ought to focus on for-profit colleges, as they often produce the worst education outcomes for their students. According to Brookings, the results "provide support for robust efforts to regulate the for-profit sector."
Amid worrying trends in the affordability of college and the inability for entrants to repay student loans, the Brookings report is timely. Cumulative default rates continue to rise, and the authors predict default rates could rise to 40 percent by 2023. While use of college loans to pay for school come with inherent risks, students at for-profit institutions seems to have much poorer financial outcomes than their counterparts in state-subsidized schools.
One of the startling findings from the study was the difference between white students and black students at for-profit schools. On average, only 4 percent of white students defaulted within 12 years of entering school. Conversely, over two-thirds of black students at for-profit colleges found themselves in default over the same period. The study noted that black graduates from Bachelor programs default five times more often than similar BA graduates who are white. Notably, black students are more likely to drop out, a factor in repayment success.
The Brookings study makes stark predictions about the future of student debt in America while hinting at the need for reform. Brookings suggests efforts to regulate for-profit schools, decrease the dropout rate, and promote income-contingent repayment in order to help students with affordability and repayment success after graduation.
