I have become a permanent nomad since this Spring and continued my habit of having coffee chats with startup founders. After traveling through 13 countries and speaking to dozens of founders, I found myself receiving lots of wisdom from many amazing people. My friend and mentor Martin suggested that I publish these gems of knowledge. Here are some of the distilled takeaways from a select few of my chats. I hope you find these excerpts useful in your own journey.
Thank you very much to everyone that has taken the time to chat with me!
Starting Up
People doing startups are not necessarily the best and brightest. They are people that can take a lot of risks.
Bradford Cross, CEO of Prismatic
Bradford talked about the Bay Area startup culture with me. My takeaway is that a solid engineering culture is a necessary condition for any great startups. I need to learn from the best. So where can I find the best cultures? While it is trendy to look at places like Airbnb or Uber, I should learn from established companies like Google and Facebook, which have had the time to develop their best practices from experience.
The way to distinguish people with empty ideas versus those with real ones is that those with real ideas have the problems themselves.
Diego Basch, Founder of IndexTank (acquired by LinkedIn)
Diego and I spoke for a couple hours about the right problems to solve and how to find them. There are two kinds of people to look for inspiration from:
- those that can build, and
- those that have needs but don't know how to build.
People in (1) can usually build what they need themselves. Our job as startup founders is to find (2). The farther away the problem from tech, the better. People in these industries have felt the pain and identified a problem to solve from experience. Look for people with at least a few years experience in an industry.
Be diligent and ask specific questions when reaching out for information interviews.
Martin Scholl, co-founder of an unannounced startup
I met up with Martin in Berlin, where he has started a handful of companies in the past 10 years. Currently, he's working on a tech startup for the art industry. I asked Martin where he gets his far-fetched but obvious in-hindsight inspirations from.
Talk to people outside of technology, he told me. Not only that, but he would spend days studying an expert's area of expertise before speaking to them. Research papers, academic books, and whatever material that he could get his hands on. Imagine putting in that amount of work for each outreach. That's why he said that I should not hesitate to spend an entire year just looking for the right problems to solve.
People think most of my ideas are ridiculous at first. What actually matters is: are your users loving it?
Tim Allison, CEO of Darling Dash
I visited Tim in his office in Copenhagen just weeks before they were launching their next product. Tim recalled the time of his launch of Cupple (acquired by Tenthbit, January 2013), when all the investors that he pitched to thought his idea was stupid. Who would want a social network for 2 people?! But he knew that there was something to it because his users loved it. He listened to them and executed his vision.
Team Building
Discover the strengths of people that you work with.
Paco Nathan, Director at O'Reilly Learning
Many years ago, Paco was on the management team at a company. There was a star engineer, who management pulled aside and gave him more responsibility to head some greenfield projects. He made no progress and Paco was tasked with firing him. He spoke to the guy and worked with him to discover that he was a finisher. Paco placed him as the go-to person in the data team, so PhD's would go ask him for help. The guy excelled and became the "most valuable player" there, then moved on to do great things.
We document all our communication and processes on Github.
Mårten Gustafson, Technical Director at Schibsted Media Platform
I find the vigorousness of Mårten's approach to improving their engineering processes fascinating. For example, he uses mind maps to illustrate the cost of software maintenance. He made me realize that the same level of critical thinking and data-driven feedback for businesses can be applied to evolve a company culture too.
Solve a need. Don't sell the implementation.
Mary Adams, Founder of Smarter Companies
Mary trains consultants on measuring intangible capital for enterprises. Mary's service was the most abstract business I'd ever heard of. One of my first questions to her was, How do you sell that?
She asked me to think in the shoes of her target customers. Suppose you are the CEO of a company like FedEx. And you're trying to raise money for your company. What are your company's assets? Machinery, people, properties? For FedEx, it's their logistics processes and operational knowledge. These are all intangible capital. Her value proposition is attaching numbers to abstract ideas, which is what her customers are doing in their heads anyway.
"Often the best sales are done when the clients don't even know the name of your product, and you focus the discussion entirely on the problems they have and how you can solve them.
Jeff Kaplan, Director of Multilateral and NGO at Socrata
Jeff showed me that good sales means doing hard work. Spend time researching your potential customer and think about what problems they might have. Given a typical 30-minute first appointment, you can save precious client time on the introductory What do you do? question and focus on What problems do you have? to establish a rapport with the potential customer as quickly as possible.

Telescopes. Primary Documentation, you can't beat it.
So it seems that small telescopes were used in the mid 18th century, even though this person appears to be looking through his telescope backwards !

Hi Keith,
Great illustration! Perhaps whatever he was looking at was a little too close for comfort and he wanted it to look like it was farther away! I just hope he wasn't the navigator! Ha, ha, ha!
I have been considering adding a Spyglass to my outfit for some time now. Being of a certain age, I find that my vision is not as sharp as it was in my youth. How often and to what purposes do you use yours out in the field?
All The Best,

Hi Martin. I have not used my telescope in the field for years Martin. I did not have occasion to use it when I carried it. I can see that it would have a use perhaps in a SHTF survival situation so I am going to hang on to the two I have.

|Negligence and the guilty: President spotted on accident site without helmet
The Question of Negligence: Everyone is Guilty
Corruption will not allow Ghanaian officials to do the right thing, not even for once. As I write this, my heart is seriously bleeding for the future of Ghana, my beloved country. Today, negligence and the disregard for the law has become too common that almost everyone in the country especially those in authority are more guilty that the man in the street. Instead of leaders to lead by examples, they're rather good at making speeches, whiles they look up to the ordinary citizen to do to obey the laws. Little or no attention is paid to health and safety. In fact, it looks like even those who have been given the authority to enforce these regulations are do not even seem to understand how the system must work.
Blame The Politicians
On the early morning of Wednesday, at about 9:30hrs GMT, MELCOM, one of Ghana's shopping malls located near Achimota in the capital city, had collapsed due to negligence and the usual poor maintenance culture in Ghana. Due to its large size, about 50 people were trapped in the collapsed building and there were many who were feared dead at the time.
On hearing the news, immediately, the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), the Ghana National Fire Service and some selected members from the Ghana Arm Forces, were deployed to the accident scene to help with the rescue mission.
Because the incidence is a national disaster, one would expect that, those tasked with the rescue mission would be well abreast with Health and Safety issues on site, especially since the incidence involved a collapsed building structure, with falling debris here and there. In fact the whole atmosphere was smelling disaster, requiring the Safety officials to be on high alert at the scene.
As expected, the President of the Republic, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama appeared on the accident scene, cladded in red t-shirt, with his large entourage. As usual, the president made a speech which touched on Health and Safety issues. He highlighted the poor maintenance culture in the country and the people's complete disregard for the Code of Practice in the construction industry. "Those whose negligence led to the tragedy will pay a price", said the president.
When the president of Ghana was speaking on the accident scene, one would expect that he and his team would guard themselves in some kind of health and safety boots, with safety helmets and some high visibility jackets and possibly some goggles especially since his speech touched on the code of practice, negligence and the need to pay attention to safety in the construction industry in the country.
However, what did Ghanaians see on their TV sets? The president and his team were in their usual t-shirts, slippers and shoes. No safety boots, no helmets, not high visibility jackets no goggles! No regard for safety even on the accident site! But this is our beloved president telling us about negligence when even his own team did not demonstrate how it must be done on an accident site/scene. This is an absolute disgrace to the Health and Safety teams on the scene especially those who led the president on tour the accident scene. All the construction experts in the country as a whole must bow their heads in shame for allowing such a thing to happen in the country.
Even though I cannot entirely blame the president for this "negligence" which he himself has been found guilty of, I think it is time for the people of Ghana to realize that their tax moneys are not properly being utilize. Especially when we have such a national disaster, to the point where the safety of our beloved president and his team could not properly be taken care of.
What would have happened if the president had treaded on some broken bottle, or some sharp iron rods upon his arrival on the site? What would have happened if there were some falling debris elsewhere on the site? Can the people of Ghana truly trust that the safety of our president is in good hands?
As the government intends to hold those found guilty of negligence accountable, I am appealing to the president to hold accountable, the Health and Safety officials on the site, who displayed such level of negligence in regards to the safety of the president and his entourage.
We do not want to hear of our president visiting an accident scene only to find himself in another accident due to the negligence on the part of some incompetent officials somewhere.
We the youth in Ghana mean business when we say we love Ghana and we do not want the negligence on the part of a few people in authority to jeopardize our happiness.
Ghanaians as a whole need attitudinal change and this must begin from the top to the grassroots. Holding ourselves accountable must follow a top-down approach because many of our leaders in authority are guiltier than the ordinary citizens, when it comes to blatant disregard for our laws and the rules of engagement.
In the meantime, let me take this opportunity to express my sincere sympathy to Ghanaians all over the world in this troubled times. I also send my message of condolences to the bereaved families and all those who might have sustained some injuries due to the negligence of our leaders. Corruption will not allow the metropolitan/district assemblies to do the right thing in our communities. As long as bribes are collected, these authorities will approve of anything. Right now, it appears the Health and Safety regulations are only enforced on those who do not have the money to buy their way through. No wonder more buildings are continuously sighted along power grids and many more such dangerous places in the country.
I weep for the future of Ghana, my beloved country.
Long live Ghana.

Intellectual Freedom is the right of library users to read any book and access any the information that they want to. But there will be people who challenge books and request to have them taken out the library. So in response to a challenge of the Looking for Alaska by John Green I wrote this letter:
April 21, 2016
Marlene Velazquez
To Whom It May Concern,
On behalf of Aguilar Library, a branch of NYPL libraries I would like to address your concerns on the book, Looking for Alaska, by John Green. We want you to understand that we support your decision to monitor what your teen reads, but we are not removing this book from our library. Every user has the right to choose what they read or have access to information and this is a right that cannot be taken away from them.
Intellectual Freedom allows library users to use the information and materials provided in a library without judgments. It is our goal to protect each library user right to privacy and confidentiality with respect to information sought or received and resources consulted, borrowed, acquired or transmitted as in the ALA code of ethics. We as a believer in our community rights will strive to uphold the principles of intellectual freedom and resist all efforts to censor library resources.
Also Library Bill of Rights states Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. It also states a person's right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views. While Looking for Alaska has offensive language and sexual explicitly it teaches morals and has themes that are scary but a part of reality.
Looking for Alaska gives teenagers a perspective on a young male who is trying to make sense of his own world. It can make teenagers feel like they relate to the characters due to the reality of how death affects people. We chose this for our library collection because it targets Young Adults ages13 and up, is written by a popular Young Adult writer John Green and it belongs in our community with other books that are open to audiences.

My Favorite Marquess
Ma'am, Let me assure you that I will not be manipulated by any feminine wiles into offering you another penny for such a dilapidated piece of property.--Sebastian Cavanaugh After conventional means fail, Sebastian, Marquess of St. Just, takes reckless measures to secure that crumbling monstrosity known as Trembledown--a haven for local smugglers and moonlighting spies. He plans to scare, not seduce, its owner, but when a midnight encounter leaves them soaked, stranded, and possessing just one blanket for warmth, Sebastian, a.k.a. Robert the Brute, discovers that the widow Violet Treacher is not only willful and unafraid, she is maddeningly desirable. . . My Lord, Enclosed find your unsigned contract. Pray do consider your offer as being rejected.--Mrs. Percival Treacher Though the wilds of Cornwall hold no allure, Violet won't give the arrogant Marquess the satisfaction of a sale, so here she shivers, in a wreck of a house, with lips still burning from the passion of a masked smuggler. She knows he's near--for her own bit of real estate is quite the magnet for secrets, danger, even treachery. But how will she recognize the gentleman by day. . .with only the memory of his kiss in the dark?

President Obama's political mentor, and proud member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Danny Davis, is going to announce his candidacy for Mayor of Chicago.
Rahm Emanuel and U.S. Rep. Danny Davis plan to formally kick off their bids for mayor this weekend, just before they are set to file their petitions to succeed Mayor Richard Daley. [LINK]
So…who will President Obama support? His former political fixer who helped deliver the stimulus bill and Obamacare, Rahm Emanuel, or one of his political mentors, Danny Davis?
Good luck with that one Rahm!
No matter how this shakes out, Chicago's going to have one hell of a choice to make – between a political thug/fixer and an open Socialist. The future is bright!

USB connectors are the emerging standards for data transfer and charging. Each generation of USBs comes with innovative designs and modern technological upgrades to meet different requirements. The latest Type C connector interface is also stuffed with many attractive features. Though the technology was introduced a couple of years earlier, the market caught on recently. These are used in many of the modern smart phones and laptops.
One of the key features that make this connector distinctive from its former generations was its reversible design – ability to get connected either way. The older ones worked only if the proper side was inserted. This was one of the major concerns about the earlier versions. With this innovation, anyone can connect with ease, enhancing the user experience.
Type C version is much also smaller compared to its older counterparts. It is almost half the size in term of width and just one third of the previous generation in terms of height. This minimal size makes it easier to carry and use. Apart from its size and looks, Type C undoubtedly marked new technological milestones.
USB Type C Gen 2 connectors are incredibly faster compared to others. It supports SuperSpeed communication 10Gb/s and scalable power delivery up to 100W. USB 3.1 Type C Gen 2 is the future of the USB technology providing multifunction single cable solution for data, power, audio and video.
One other advantage of this connectors is its flexibility. It can be used in devices which normally doesn't support USB connectors, with the use of adapters. This can be used for devices like VGA, Display Port and Ethernet that employ non-USB technologies. In short, it's a single USB connector for all devices, you will not have to keep different cables with different connector shapes for your various devices.
Presently, there are many devices which do not support USB Type C, albeit latest versions of gadgets are designed to suit this connector requirement. USB 3.1 Type C Gen 2 is the further version with better power and high speed in order to meet next-generation application requirements.
USB Type C has replaced many of the existing standards already. It is probable that USB Type C will replace or surpass Apple's lightning connector one day, as they possess similar connector qualities.
As the leading manufacturer of interconnects, Amphenol ICC has a quality range of USB Type C connectors which are one of the best choices available in the market today.

Second thoughts on bring-guns-to-work law?
Omar Thornton brought three guns to work with him on Tuesday. And after his bosses at a beer distributorship in Enfield, Conn., confronted him with evidence he'd been stealing on the job, Thornton went and got at least two of those guns. He then used them to kill eight people and wound two before shooting himself to death.
The story, as pieced together by witnesses and police, is that Thornton stashed two 9mm pistols inside his lunch box and kept a shotgun in his car. He went to the kitchen and retrieved the pistols from his lunch box after his bosses told him he either had to quit or be fired.
Thornton apparently told his girl friend and his mother he was being racially harassed at work. The company disputes that.
The guns Thornton used were registered as required in Connecticut.
In 2008, the Florida Legislature ignored lobbying by business groups and passed a law allowing employees to bring their guns to work so long as the weapons are locked in a vehicle.
Business groups argued unsuccessfully that the easy proximity of such weapons increased the likelihood an angry employee would, on impulse, get the guns and go on a shooting spree.
Proponents of the law said the Second Amendment guarantees the right to bring a weapon to work and that such laws wouldn't deter a worker who intended to commit violence.
The Connecticut shootings certainly show that guns in the hands of an angry employee can lead to great tragedy. It's not at all clear this was an "impulse" spree. Thornton might have gone to work and carried the guns in his lunchbox with every intention of using them.
What do you think? Does the Connecticut case show that Florida should reconsider its bring-guns-to-work law? Take our poll.

Tennis Squad Sydney
The game of tennis has four key elements that need to be learned in order to be able to play a successful game in general.
These 4 important key elements are:
1. How to hit - Technique
2. How to move - Physical
3. How to play - Tactical
4. How to think - Mental
The Squad program is formulated to address all four of these aspects of the game. During private lessons more attention is given to the teaching of strokes and the technique thereof. Therefore if a private lessons and Squad lessons are taken once a week, the player gets the opportunity to learn all four important elements of the game.
During Squad sessions players are taught how to analyse a match and how to recognise and consider their possible options throughout their tennis game. It also provides them with the skill to know how to correct the mistakes they make during the match.
The basis is to help players realise the reasons for their mistakes rather than the excuses. The focus of Squad lessons is to learn players to combine their technical skills with strategic situations in order to help them to win a game.

Procedures Performed
This 36-year-old patient was in great shape, but she had a common concern: stubborn fat around her thighs. Many people find that there are certain areas of the body that no amount of exercise can improve, including the thighs, abdomen, and hips. After researching plastic surgeons in Columbia, this patient decided to meet with Dr. Chang for a consultation.
She discussed various body contouring options and listened to Dr. Chang's recommendations. After asking her about her health history and aesthetic goals, the board-certified plastic surgeon recommended a special kind of liposuction called Smartlipo MPX™.
All liposuction procedures use a thin surgical tube called a cannula to remove subcutaneous fat from concentrated pockets in the body. The fat first needs to be broken down so that it can be easily removed, and that's where innovations such as Smartlipo come in. Dr. Chang uses this laser-assisted liposuction method in Columbia to first melt the fat before removing it. The laser also makes for less bruising after the procedure and a quicker recovery. Additionally, laser energy delivered deep within the skin can promote tightening on the surface for a smoother, sleeker look.
This patient's after photos were taken about a year after her liposuction procedure. As the pictures show, she saw a great improvement in her thighs, which now have a slim, attractive contour.Surgeon: Eric Chang, MD

i adore my books. currently they are all affectionately crammed three-deep into my mid-height lame ass billy bookshelf, but as soon as i have enough money to not have to begin sentences with, "as soon as i have enough money," i am going to purchase at least two more, maybe a tall one with opaque glass doors and certainly a nice big wooden one (real wooden, not ikea particleboard wooden, though that's working fine for me for now).
alas, at this time i shall be content to merely pine. i think a lot of it is erin's influence - her (unhealthy) obsession with furniture design has rubbed off on me to an extent, and i'm enjoying thinking about not only the different ways form and function can work together (or not), but how they can also be real design strengths.
(okay, can you tell i'm sick of law reading and just ready to go back to analyzing useless crap again? give me chekhov! bf skinner, godard! f, i'll even do an essay on f-ing bookshelves and herman miller, just NO MORE CIV PRO).
anyway, bookshelves.
this is neat, huh?? tilt, tilt... i can imagine putting all my plays into these, or, um, my cliff's notes.
i also love this:
that's f-ing badass, man! i probably wouldn't want it for my house, but those lines are so nice and crisp, and i love how it just pops. (not to mention that titanic lamp kind of tricks out your eyes...)
now, see, this on the other hand is a bad idea. there is no respect! no organization! i am not a fan.
and this is just impractical and ugly.
you sick of these yet? i want to end on the best one. ladies and gentlemen, i give you:
what, not impressed, you say?? well, i'll admit, empty, this design makes little sense. looks a bit like tigger's stripes or something, but they are a little irrelevant.
until you put books on there.
i am not kidding:
holy shit, man!!!!!! was i not kidding?!?! look at what this design does - it creates open space, not just on the sides of the books but above them, too. (granted, there aren't that many in here, but the way the shelves go it *does* create that negative space.) it accomodates varying heights and thicknesses of volumes, and it's all tilt-y, which breaks up the lines at soft angles. i fucking love it, man, i am not kidding. plus, it's crazy enough to catch the eye, but it's not absolutely atrocious to have in a home. neat, right?!?!
*[blogger's note: the site changed the photos, so there's no longer a full-length shot with books on the shelves. =( sorry, kids! i'll keep checking back, and upload the handsomer ones if they ever get put back online. meanwhile, apologies for the comments not really fitting the photos...]

He also said that DICE has done its best to remain true to the World War 1 without compromising on the fun part.
He further said that World War 1 was pretty dark and brutal, and DICE willingly removed this from the game as these were not fun. In his own words DICE wanted to focus on fun rather than realism.

The penultimate episode of the fourth season connects storylines, reunites our characters and finally takes us to Terminus.
"Us," directed by Greg Nicotero, opens with one of the most relatable scenes in the history of the show: Eugene is speculating about whether or not the dinosaurs died from the zombie virus and how that would make the best video game ever. If you have not had this conversation at least once in your life then I am very disappointed in you.
But after this moment of witty banter, the episode continues on as many other episodes this year have – with a lot of walking. Maybe that's what the "walking dead" means now: characters who walk and storylines that are dead boring.
There is closure to this journey on the horizon, as Glenn (Steven Yeun) spots Maggie's zombie blood signs and realizes with certainty that she is alive.
For those keeping track, no, Maggie still does not remember that she has a sister named Beth. The sign says "Glenn, go to Terminus. Maggie." Did this turn into a CW show when I wasn't looking and female characters only care about their boyfriends? What show am I watching?
I digress…. love not only gives Maggie amnesia, it also makes Glenn run into a tunnel of walkers to find Maggie. Smartly, Abraham, Rosita and Eugene want to go around the tunnel. Tara goes with Glenn because she owes him for being instrumental in destroying the prison.
Having the two of them alone in the tunnels gives us the chance to gain some insight into Tara's state of mind and the regret that she feels for being part of the Governor's group. However, Alanna Masterson's lines have no resonance. I am not sure if it is Masterson's acting or the writing that make Tara uninteresting. For me, she is a grey spot in the story, dragging down all episodes in which she appears.
Abraham and his group were right to not go into the tunnel. The amount of walkers in there is unreal and freaking scary. Glenn and Tara are moments away from becoming zombie-lunch when shots ring out and another group of survivors appear in the tunnel. At first, you think it's Abraham and his crew, but it's not. It's Maggie!
The Maggie and Glenn reunion is as sappy and wonderful as you expect it to be. I love these characters individually and as a couple. It's a relief to see them happy.
As Glenn's search for Maggie comes to a close, we realize that another search is just starting. The band of thieves that Daryl is traveling with are on their own hunt – for Rick.
There is honor among these thieves. Joe, the de-facto leader played by Jeff Kober, tells Daryl,
"We don't have to be nice. We don't have to be brothers in arms. We just have to follow the rules."
The rules include telling the truth and the claiming of property by shouting out "Claimed!" when you see something you want. This sounds, and plays out, exactly like a game bullies would play on an elementary school playground.
Obsessed watchers of the show remember that the episode with Rick trapped in a house was called "Claimed." Many have speculated that the men Daryl travels with are the same as those that were in the house with Rick. We get that confirmation here. Although Rick was in the house before any of them were, he still violated their code because he never shouted "claimed," making his murder of their group member against the rules.
Joe tells Daryl that they assume Rick (though they don't know his name) is heading to Terminus. They plan on following him there and then taking their revenge.
A storyline that felt like a filler gains new weight, as this group's search for Rick will undoubtedly have serious consequences down the line.
I don't think these consequences will include Daryl, however. People make a lot of comparisons between this group of men and Merle. Merle was certainly no nice guy, but he wasn't as pathological as this crew. He at least loved Daryl and believed in their brotherhood. I don't think Daryl sees anything of his past in these men. He is with them as a mode of survival and once he spots the right opportunity, he will leave.
That opportunity will likely come in the next episode, as his group finds Terminus.
"Us" closes with Maggie, Glenn, Sasha, Abraham, and the rest of their group arriving at the mysterious location. Terminus has shades of Woodbury in that it seems too good to be true, yet they are welcomed with open arms by a woman named Mary.
We will find out her true intentions next week in the season finale. What do you think will happen at Terminus? Speculate, don't spoil, in the comments below!
The season finale of the Walking Dead airs next Sunday at 9pm on AMC.

Did you know that January is National Hot Tea Month? We celebrate tea all year long but we thought that it would be a great time to focus on the many reasons to add a cuppa to your day. We had a hard time keeping the list down to just 10.
1. It relaxes you.
L-Theanine is an amino acid found in tea that is known to reduce stress and anxiety while also improving relaxation.
2. It contains antioxidants
While it will never be a cure-all, tea contains antioxidants which help our bodies defend themselves against free radicals. Some studies suggest that it may protect against certain kinds of cancer.
3. It's a healthy alternative to sugary drinks
Tea in its natural state contains zero calories. That makes it a great alternative to soft drinks and sugary juices.
4.It protects your teeth and gums
Tea contains catechin, an antioxidant that supports healthy gums and teeth.
5. It keeps you hydrated.
Despite it's reputation because of caffeine, tea has been proven to hydrate our bodies just as much as water.
6. It keeps your heart healthy.
The flavonoids in tea promote heart health by reducing plaque build up in the arteries.
7. It is one of the world's oldest beverages.
Tea has been cultivated since the Neolithic period. Each sip connects you thousands of years of history.
8. It's celebrated by cultures all of the world.
England, India, China, Japan..the list goes on. There's not many things that the whole word can agree on but a love for tea is definitely one of them.
9. It lets you get creative.
Tea can be prepared in so many different ways. Infuse it with fruit or even try using it as a base for a cocktail.
10. It tastes great!
All other benefits aside, we love tea simply because it tastes amazing.
What are your favorite reasons for drinking tea? Let us know in the comments!

Three Short Stories
Sabrina stood before her bathroom mirror for hours methodically brushing her long brown hair, forty-one, forty-two, forty-three, counting each brushstroke, slightly aware that her ritual counting might just might be the first indication of obsessive-compulsive disorder (though she admitted to herself it was probably only a mild case), and while she dutifully obeyed her strange, calculative urges, she earnestly wished she were a giant tortoise of the Galápagos Islands, because, though the extent of her knowledge of Galápagos giant tortoises was limited to just a few minutes' worth of a Discovery Channel program, as far as she knew giant tortoises were totally hairless and very rarely afflicted with O.C.D.

She was only seventeen but Lara carried herself with the elegant confidence of a woman twice her age. She was classically beautiful and a straight-A student. She'd traveled to Europe, Asia, and South America. She played the cello, danced ballet and tap, and even wrote poetry that wasn't awful. She was on the swim team, the cheerleading squad, and the debate club. Most afternoons she worked part-time at a nursing home and on weekends she tutored inner-city youths. Whatever spare time was left she donated to fundraising for Greenpeace. But Lara went to the prom solo and left graduation with a yearbook signed by no one but Mr. Heinrich, her chemistry teacher, simply because she had extraordinarily hyperactive eyebrow follicles. The doctors told her it was hormonal and she would eventually outgrow it, but ever since puberty, her bushy brows grew so wildly they.required hourly trimming or else her vision would be obstructed. "Scorcese-face," the boys called her, or "Dukakis-head," until she'd run away crying, her tears clinging to her wild, scraggily eyebrows like morning dew on forest shrubs. Teenagers are cruel.

The Jazz in Upper Volta
All her life, Lenore dreamed of one day playing saxophone with a jazz band in Upper Volta. She didn't know where Upper Volta was exactly, or if there was a Lower Volta, or even a just-plain Volta, or what the music scene was like there, if there were any skilled musicians around to form a jazz quartet with, or even a trio, but it didn't matter because Lenore couldn't really play the sax or even read music. But a girl can dream.

If you are ever near the shoppingcenter "Fisketorvet" in Copenhagen, then you must stop by this charming café on an old Swedish wooden ship called Kahyt og kaffe.
Do try the hot chocolate and mushroom soup (only on Saturdays)...
... and enjoy it either inside one of two warm and cozy cabins or sit outside.
You order at the helm located at the bow.
Tip: If you love Italian food products, you must visit Supermarco which is just past the power plant. This is my main stop for great olive oil, charcuterie and pasta.

'Monster' snake given marching orders after blocking Queensland road
Officers stumbled across the scrub python during a night patrol.
A python so long it blocked a road has found fame thanks to Australian police.
Two officers patrolling in Queensland stumbled across the "massive" scrub python in Wujal Wujal, north of Cairns, and had to wait for it to cross the road before continuing their shift.
Measuring between five and six metres long, the snake stayed still just long enough for acting senior constable Chris Kenny to strike a pose which has since gone viral after being posted to the force's Facebook page.
"You never really know what you are going to come across in a single shift.
"Policing in the Far North is certainly no exception. During a night patrol… officers stumbled across this monster! There was no passing in the police vehicle until this scrub python was good and ready to move.
"Not fond of the police attention, the scrub python made his way quickly off the road so the officers could continue on their way."
And it's fair to say the internet wasn't too keen on the sight of the snake.
While the Queensland Police Service Museum showed off a photo from decades ago of a snake found in Brisbane.

Going to school is a smart way to up your skills when it comes to finding a career, but the 'High Price of Higher Education' Infographics reveals the mountainous expenses that come with the cost of going to post-secondary.
In some nations, going to college or university is free and entirely taken care of by the government, but Americans aren't so lucky; debt is expected to accumulate to an amount higher than an average home downpayment.
This infographic created by H&R Block shows viewers the sad truth about going to college. There's a list of the five most expensive schools in the U.S. and the five least expensive. The statistics show the salary that people make and for a degree in petroleum engineering, expect to make up to $120,000, while a study in counseling and psychology is a mere $29,000. Skim through 'The High Price of Higher Education' infographics to see where you stand in the post-secondary debacle.

I had intended to post this blog a couple of days before Christmas, but my computer was giving me fits and freezing up on me. Hopefully the spirit of this Christmas message will continue with you into the New Year and into Eternity itself.
I was watching a program last night with David Jeramiah. He was telling the Christmas story in a way I have never heard before. He told how Jesus left his riches in heaven, came to earth and became poor for us. He took our sins with him on the cross, so that we may have eternal life.
Yes, all that I have heard; usually connected with the Easter story. It was what he said next that really hit me. He said Eternity embraced time so that we who are bound by time may someday embrace Eternity.
Think about that for a minute..Eternity (God, the Father, Son, Holy Spirit) came as a baby to this earth to embrace time ( us, you and me). He reached down from his place in heaven to hold us, cling to us, nailed our sins with him on that cross. Why? He did it so that we (time) could acknowledge his sacrifice on the cross, accept his love, and ask for forgiveness for our sins. Why? Just so he could gloat over us, make us gravel at his feet, so that we could understand his power and our weakness? No…he did it so that someday we (time) could embrace Eternity (Jesus). He did it so that someday we could hug him back!
What a visual image that leaves in my mind. I hope whenever I hear the name Jesus, or see a cross, that I will always see his arms reaching around me, wanting a hug back from me.
I hope you had a Merry Christmas.

Minister of information and Supervising minister of Defence, Labaran Maku, Wednesday, described those who have defected from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to the opposition All Progressives Congress as nomads who are always on the move from one party to the other.
In an interview in Abuja, Mr Maku said though no party would like to lose its members, sometimes it is better to lose weight to gain strength which is what is happening in the PDP.
According to him, those who have left the PDP for the APC are already causing problems in the new party because they are incapable of subjecting themselves to democratic practices.
He said: "I have always said, no party would be happy to lose their members to any party because every political party would wish that it is able to retain all its members because number itself is good that no organization would want to lose its member so it is not something you will beat your chest and say you are happy when your members leave. But I have always made a point that sometimes you need to lose weight to gain strength and that is exactly what has happened in PDP.
"When a number of these people were leaving PDP I said the party would be healthier in the long run. First of all, if you look at all the people that have left PDP, some of them are the people that have caused all the headaches in the party. They have been the ones attacking their party, they are very quarrelsome; they have oversized egos; some of them cannot stay under the same roof with anybody for one week without the top blowing up. A number of these people who left, if you take a look at the history of our party and look at their antecedent you will see that they are migrants, they keep migrating from one place to another. So party needs to have members that believe in its ideology, that settle down because they believe in the party. A party is not just a market for people to stand for election, but a number of people who are leaving see the party as a market place for election, a number of them will come in because they want to contest for election, but if they lose they run out.
" Political parties after 15 years of democracy in our country, we must begin to settle down , let us know those who believe in the party, those who believe in the policy and programmes of the party, not because they have an electoral ambition , but because they want the party as a organization that would develop the society improve its policy , improve the country. Now as we grow older on PDP, we are beginning to see that after these people left, the party is gaining some stability.
"You notice that the last one year, they have turned the party into object of ridicule, abusing the party; making it look so bad. Meanwhile all the parties they have gone to, none of them has a programme yet, none of them has any ideological focus. The new parties they have run to, they have no registered members yet, they did not have convention. Even within this small period since some of these elements left the PDP they have caused significant problem in the new party they ran to. They are already causing a huge problem there.
"There is already an explosion in APC in Kano, because Kwankwaso went straight and took over a party he was not part of, and insist that he must be the leader, and sacked those who formed the party. You go to Sokoto again, Wamakko went immediately and hijacked the party from those who formed APC in the place, who dissolved their own parties in order to form a political party that would compete with the PDP. These people went and hijacked the party took it away from them so even from the point of view of Justice, you were looking for democracy and you saw nothing wrong in going to another and hijacking the structure from them.

Hunting for proper employee talent is an important step in achieving quality in your brand. When it comes to this part of the process, it's up to HR marketing executives, CEOs and managers to seek out talented workers and focus on retention of talent. In the end, it's talent that helps your team outperform your competitors.
One question you may ask yourself when you're an HR representative or a C-level manager is – whose job is it to seek out talent? Studies show that 60 percent of CEOs are worried about employer branding as their own task and over one-third of them feel their HR workers are responsible for it. On the other hand, over 60 percent of talent acquisition executives, and 57 percent of recruiting executives believe HR staffers are responsible for employer branding, according to Universum research.
Why the difference in belief of ownership? A lot of the trouble lies in trust. As a CEO, you may feel that your HR marketing executives are not up to the challenge of promoting your company to prospective employees. Roughly half of CEOs feel that HR isn't up to the task. On the other hand, if you're an HR representative, you could feel like you're lacking the skills and training needed to take on employer branding. And you wouldn't be alone. Sixty percent of HR workers feel under-qualified for the job of employer branding.
We've established that whether you're a C-level manager or an HR representative, you probably feel that HR shouldn't be responsible for employer branding, but the big question is why. Several theories exist around the topic. One claims that as an HR worker, professionals view you as reactive, supportive problem-solvers, rather than functioning marketing executives. Another suggests that an HR employee, you may lack the time, money, and direction to take on the burden of employer branding. Finally, it may be that your HR team simply isn't equipped with the proper skills that employer branding requires: data analysis and business forecasting.
Despite the divide between c-level employers and HR reps, unification only has the power to make your company's employer branding stronger. Overall, companies tend to focus employer branding efforts externally, yet key performance indicators depend on internal factors. Because HR already works closely with these internal factors, it only makes sense that they could help bring balance to your employer branding by bringing focus to the internal portion of your business. This type of marriage between the external and internal focus of employer branding can help to bring forth a stronger, more wholesome brand experience for your audience.

ST. LOUIS (AP) � Steve Spagnuolo said hello to Sam Bradford and then let the quarterback get to work.
The St. Louis Rams� coach noted yesterday that soon enough he�d be spending a lot of time with last year�s NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and he didn�t want to �bog down� Bradford.
Spagnuolo expects a smooth transition under new offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was fired as Denver�s head coach in December. Bradford passed for 3,512 yards last year, second-most by a rookie in NFL history, and took a leadership role in informal player workouts during the lockout.
�Hopefully it won�t be completely new,� Spagnuolo said. �I know it won�t be completely new.�
The Rams are coming off a 7-9 season that was six wins better than a year earlier. They just missed a playoff berth in the weak NFC West and Spagnuolo said players left for the offseason with a �hunger.�
Spagnuolo said visiting with players yesterday made it seem like a normal day after a lockout that started way back in March.
�I�ve missed everything about what normally goes on,� Spagnuolo said. �We�re almost back completely and rolling. Things are fast and furious right now, as you can imagine, but that�s the exciting part.�
Linebacker Larry Grant, who started eight games last season, was among the initial casualties as the 32 teams began the frenzied work to finalize their rosters.
The team addressed a need in the secondary, agreeing to terms on a four-year contract with free agent safety Quintin Mikell. The 30-year-old Mikell led the Philadelphia Eagles in tackles last year and made the 2009 Pro Bowl. He�s the likely replacement for Oshiomoghe Atogwe. Mikell was with the Eagles for eight seasons, including a time when Spagnuolo was an assistant in Philadelphia.
The Rams were still setting a practice schedule compatible with restrictions in the new agreement. Training camp opens Friday with physicals, and the first workout will be Saturday.
One new wrinkle: the Rams will videotape all position meetings to help incoming players get up to speed faster.

Just watch and admire! I'm standing on the ice. You must admit I'm already quite an impressive polar bear although mama still calls me her baby. Sigh, you know what the mothers are like ….
Follow me and I show you what I can do on the ice.
Oooops! There are some unfrozen spots …. but the water really is so refreshingly cold! Maybe you wouldn't dive in this water but then you don't have a furry swimming suit like I have. Why do you have to be so naked???
It looks like our pool is filled with ice floats.
I don't mind wetting my paws. May I remind you that I'm a Finnish Viking!!!
I think I found something ….
Oh, yeah, there's definitely something under the ice!
Yippee! I was right! I wonder if this is meat or maybe the remains of an ice bomb ….
Must shake my boomsie to get rid of the water on my fur.
Oh bear, there's a dessert, too!
This kind of treasure hunting is soooo fun!
It will take some time until our pool is completely frozen but I'm so happy about it already.
These paws are made for walking on the ice! 🙂
This time of the year it gets dark very early. We call it 'kaamos' which means that there's daylight only a few hours a day. However, the sun hasn't totally abandoned us and when it shines my fur gets this wonderful platinum shade of white.
The sun rays really are very flattering for my fur and make me look smashing. Excuse me for saying so myself but I'm sure you agree! 🙂
When the sun has disappeared it's not really dark. The snow has made the darkness turn into a 'blue hour'. And with any luck we can see a fantastic show in the sky – the northern lights! How does that sound?
I must continue my walk and see if I can find more treasures. Oh, there's always something!
I hope you liked the photos of me on the ice. That's all for now but I hope Marko will come and visit me again so I can post a new report for you.
With this video I send my best greetings to all the readers of Knuti's Weekly! Your pal Sisu

text: On1 Photo RAW 2018 Final Release Is here, and so far I am impressed. It is a great improvement over previous On1 products. I believe that it is good enough to be a viable Lightroom/Photoshop alternative for those looking for one.All the usual familiar stuff, including nondestructive layers, and Resize are available, and there are plenty of tutorials available for learning the finer points. For those continuing with an LR/PS workflow, On1 Photo RAW 2018 installs, and works as an LR& PS plugin as it did in the past. Mac users also get an Apple Photos extension if they choose to go in that direction. <https://on1help.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115001800631> <https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxzf2nbtwdz1b0y/screenshot_214.png> -- Regards, Savageduck

For me, exfoliation is one of the most effective way to achieve a radiance and healthy-looking skin. There are so many benefits with exfoliation. First and foremost, exfoliation helps to remove the dead skin cells on the outer surface of the skin and new skin cells will start to grow in the deep basal cell layer of the epidermis. These new cells are plumper, have more moisture and after the dead cells are removed by exfoliation the newer cells are exposed and reveal a healthy glowing and more youthful cast to the skin surface.
Exfoliation also helps to better penetration of rejuvenating topical agents, stimulate new skin cells formation, increase collagen production in the dermis and remove skin pore blocking debris.
With all these good benefits and my crazy crush on exfoliation, that is why I have selected this Kiehl's Epidermal Re-Texturizing Micro-Dermabrasion as one of the compliment product during the recent Kiehl's Private Tour & Treat.

I remember thinking a couple of years ago that Apple iPhones were going to knock the Blackberry off the smart-phone market. But nothing like that has happened. RIMM released some very convincing quarterly results last week. Apparently RIMM seems to be doing just fine, never mind the slew of smart-phone entrants. On top of protecting its corporate user turf RIMM is fighting back with the Blackberry Pearl and Curve, taking the battle to the consumer smart-phone segment. Look out Apple (and Nokia), here come the smart-phone mounties!
RIMM has taken the Apple device threat very seriously. Their device line-up has been continuously updated and has kept pace with the latest cellular technology and device features - 3G, application-store, GPS, cameras - you name it and there is a Blackberry model covering the area. Even user interface, Blackberry's Achilles heel, seems to be getting a lot of attention on the newer models. Its a good thing RIMM is looking beyond push email and into actually building general purpose smart-phones. Smart-phones are good for the company's bottom line because the lions share of RIMM revenue comes from device sales. Users need to see glitzy, application laden devices to consider upgrading frequently. After all email by itself is only a text-based application (remember those monochrome Blackberries that handled email just fine). Fortunately, RIMM has not fallen into the Polaroid-like trap of living off one single success and has instead covered broad market segments with multiple device offerings and continious innovation.
Fortunately for RIMM, Apple has built a deep moat around its iPhone through aggressive pricing and exclusive deals with Telcos that keeps many corporate buyers in Blackberry's stable. Example: Small corporation X, 2000 employees, per unit iPhone cost minus per unit Blackberry cost = $250. Choose the Blackberry and you've saved half a million upfront, avoided iTunes (consumer software) being downloaded and installed on all corporate PCs, and escaped the clutches of very expensive iPhone data plans.
Blackberries are great texting/messaging devices with physical keyboards unlike iPhone's glass tapping virtual keyboard. This qualifies blackberries as the serious corporate tool as compared to the iPhone that has yet to fit into the corporate IT comfort zone. And this brings me to the greatest strength of RIMM - integration with corporate IT systems.
The key Blackberry value is effortless outsourcing of wireless/mobile email for corporate IT departments. No extra servers to run and no expensive data-plans with Telcos. Just a per-month per-account fee and you've got wireless email for employees. Since every other corporation (and Barrack Obama) trusts the Blackberry service, so can corporation X. Outsource email with confidence.
One of the greatest shortcomings of corporate PC email has been the culture of creating and maintaining individual email systems per corporation. This system could have been much cheaper, much better managed and less buggy had there been a uber-email provider like RIMM is for corporate wireless email. And no I don't buy the argument that corporate email needs to be kept inside the company's intranet for data security reasons. If this is so important then please forbid employee blackberries which otherwise bounce every email off a server in Canada.
Fortunately wireless email has remained concentrated in the hands of Blackberry due to its early dominance in this technology and this has made RIMM the single largest wireless push email provider. Everyone benefits, even competing smart-phone manufacturers who can simply buy the Blackberry service for their devices. And thats why RIMM is a buy.

Let me leave you with my favorite fact about Kodi & Nick - they have been together for 9 years! I'll say it again - NINE YEARS! It made for such an awesome dynamic on their wedding day. Their friends were, for the most part, all mutual friends. Their separate families already knew each other and acted like family. It was wonderful! In fact, Kodi & Nick's entire wedding day was wonderful.

text: Group Disability Insurance Group Disability Insurance Group disability insurance provides coverage for either short term or long term disability. This type of coverage is of great value for the employer as well as the employee. As a company, your employees are your most valuable asset. Of course, you want to offer them the best coverage you can. Group disability insurance will provide for their income, usually a percentage of their regular wage, if the employee becomes disabled and cannot perform his regular duties. What types of Group Disability Insurance are there? There are two types of group disability insurance. Both types of group disability insurance play an important role for any employee hurt or injured while not on the job. The first type of group disability insurance is called Short Term Disability (STD). This type of coverage provides a portion of the employee's income to be paid for a short period of time. It will usually begin coverage after all sick days and vacation days have been used. This type of group disability coverage can give your employee the needed peace of mind that he can continue to pay for needed expenses, and concentrate on recovery so as to be able to return to work in a short period of time. The second type of group disability insurance is Long Term Disability (LTD). This type of group disability insurance will also cover a percentage of your employee's wage in the event of a more extensive, serious illness or accident. It is usually expected that it will take a much longer period of time for the employee to recover and return to work. Why user Stream Benefits Group Insurance for your group disability insurance? Stream Benefits Group wants to help you find the right group disability insurance plan that will benefit both your company and your employees. Being home based in the St. Louis and Kirkwood area gives us the needed background and resources to fit your needs. Give us a call and let us discuss with you what the best options are in regard to your company's group disability insurance needs.

It is estimated that up to 59% of Aboriginal people in the Mid-North Coast Local Health District smoke, and so the challenge for local service providers is to promote ways to reduce this rate of smoking to curb later harmful impacts on their health.
The challenge is to find ways to communicate reasons to quit smoking that are relevant and appropriate for an Aboriginal population.
"Blow Away The Smokes" takes the form of a set of resources including engagement of key people, a DVD resource, in-school programs in peer to peer education about reducing smoking exposure from early childhood through to old age.

THREE iconic aircraft from yesteryear will bring history to life at the Wales Airshow this summer.
The RAF's Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has been added to the line-up for this year's free event, which takes place on the weekend of Saturday July 1 and Sunday July 2.
Battle of Britain Memorial Flight - Swansea BayMade up of an Avro Lancaster, a Supermarine Spitfire and a Hawker Hurricane, the display group is regularly seen at events commemorating the Second World War. The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight has also taken part in several British state occasions, including the Queen's 80th birthday celebrations in 2006 and Prince William's wedding in 2011.
Run by Swansea Council, this year's Wales Airshow is being sponsored by Swansea University.
Other aircraft to have already confirmed their participation include the RAF's Red Arrows and Typhoon display teams.
Frances Jenkins, Swansea Council's Strategic Manager for Culture, Tourism, Marketing and Events, said: "Helping meet the appetite for nostalgia at events of this kind, it's pleasing that we're now able to confirm the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight's participation in this July's Wales Airshow.
"Combing with modern aircraft, cutting-edge aerobatic displays and ground-based entertainment, this display is among many that hundreds of thousands of spectators will soon be enjoying in the skies above Swansea.
"More aircraft will be confirmed in weeks to come as we continue to make progress on an event that's worth more than £1m to the city's economy."
This summer marks the third consecutive year for the Wales Airshow in Swansea.

Inbound Marketing: The Dawn of Marketing You Won't Hate
Media buyers have felt the dramatic shift in lead generation and advertising with the advent of the Internet. Search engines, for example, capture a buyer in the moment of needing something and direct them to exactly what they want. Inbound marketing can conversely engage, inform, and assist buyers towards a particular company. This information graphic from Toronto SEO company, Vol & Tier, outlines why Inbound marketing tends to be more effective for a company.
