It's a new year and a new you. We are using the month of January on our Service Management blog to give you tips and tools to help you be the best you can be, as an organization, and as an individual. Today the topic is management, and how you can manage yourself more effectively to ensure efficiency, trust, and ultimately, success. And while honing the three areas we are about to present to you will bring you these things in most areas of your life, our focus today is on the relationship between you and the person you report to. By using these tips you can create a strong, effective working relationship that won't only get the job done, but will also get you noticed, and respected. So without further ado, the three ways that you can manage (everything) better are:
- Ensure Open Communication
- Set Clear Expections
- Focus On Delivery
These three areas of interest will help you with any task or role you need to manage. Of course the key is always in the execution, so we will elaborate on these tips to help you manage those areas of your life, particularly the relationship with your own manager at work, that may get the better of you sometimes.
Ensure Open Communication
The world is bombarded with messaging these days, from everywhere, all the time. Emails, phone calls, adverts, social media, technology, it is never ending. And the way people deal with it is they stop listening. So if you have something important to relay, there is really only one simple, effective way to do it. Short and succinct. Whether doing a presentation, sending an email, going through the budget, or any other project that involves collaboration and/or an audience, this is the best way to get the results you want. This way your message doesn't get lost. This does not mean to communicate less frequently though. The best way to stay ahead of the curve is to be proactive. The report you were asked to complete took way longer than you expected because finance STILL hasn't gotten back to you? Send your manager a quick email to give him/her a heads up. Your workload has suddenly diminished? Quickly pop by a colleague's or manager's office to see what you can add to your plate. Always follow up once to either check to make sure the receiver understands your communication and is taking action, or to let the communicator know that you understand them and that you are taking action. Lastly, respond. Make sure, especially with email, that you respond to a request, demand, or other form of communication, within an appropriate amount of time (that's usually less than 24 hours).
To recap, open communication means:
- Short and succinct
- Be proactive
- Follow up
- Respond (within 24 hours)
Set Clear Expectations
Setting expections means leaving little or no room to disappoint. Always ask your manager what they expect of you. Reiterate those expectations so that they know you understand them and so they resonate with you. If some of the expectations seem unresonable or unachievable, speak up (using that open communcation we mentioned above)! If you don't, you are the one that looks like a fool when something doesn't get done. It is important that you also set expectations. Make your manager and colleagues aware of your limitations and your time. Sometimes it is even best to help others understand how you work; how you set priorities, etc.
To recap, setting clear expectations means:
- Ask what is expected of you (conduct, role, time, deliverables, etc.)
- Discuss your limitations
- Make others aware of your availability (time, etc.)
Focus on Delivery
Delivery means meeting those previously set expectations. But it also means more than that. You want to make sure that you are delivering 110%. In the real world, particularly the business world, this may not always seem possible because of deadlines, collaborations, time limits, and more. But you can still give 110% of what you have, and what you have been given to work with. Delivery is about integrity. Deliver on time. Even if the whole thing isn't finished, show your manager or colleagues what you have so far, what it is you have been working on. It is also about accountability. No one likes a finger pointed. If you haven't delivered, and it is your fault, take responsibility. This is where open communication and setting expectations comes in. If you are struggling with the completion of something, or you can't handle a specific task, it is better to be open about it and set a different expectation then wait until D Day (delivery day) and come up empty handed. If something does go wrong, make sure you can come up with an alternative solution. You should also understand what went wrong and how to fix it in the future.
To recap, delivery means:
- Be on time
- Respect the guidelines of the task/projects
- Give 110%
- Take Accountability
Ensuring open communication, setting clear expectations and focusing on delivery will help you be a better employee and colleague. It will also help you to manage your life in a more productive and effective way. By following these three easy guidelines, you are adding order to an otherwise chaotic business environment. It can help you to organize and prioritize your days and your goals at any organization.

Debate rumbles on as Newton Poppleford application deferred again
PUBLISHED: 17:44 11 June 2019
A decision to build houses on land previously set aside for a new doctors' surgery in Newton Poppleford has been deferred for a further 90 days for parties to 'work out a solution'.
The controversial application in King Alfred Way for two houses was previously deferred from March to allow for evidence to be gathered about the need for a surgery.
East Devon District Council's development management committee met on Tuesday to discuss the plans, which had been recommended for approval by planning officers.
Residents and Newton Poppleford Parish Council object to the application due to the 'promise' from applicant Clinton Devon Estates, for the surgery after planning permission was granted back in 2013 for 40 dwellings and doctors practice.
Chris Burhop, chairman of the parish council, told the meeting the council carried out a parish-wide survey and tried to make contact with the applicant who either 'refused or was unavailable' to meet.
He suggested an alternative to let the parish council run the building as surgeries in nearby parishes raised financial concerns for the site.
Mr Burhop said: "Both Sidmouth and Budleigh surgeries said they would not be interested in exploring the use of a new surgery. However Coleridge would if the rent stayed the same and they got permission from the Clinical Commissioning Group.
"Let Newton Poppleford Parish Council run it. If Lord Clinton will not give the promised surgery to the people of Newton Poppelford then I will ask the people of Newton Poppleford if they will pay Lord Clinton's commercial rate."
Amy Roberts, on behalf of the applicant, said the estate's attempt to deliver the surgery are documented but were not required following a legal challenge.
She said: "Both the 2014 officers report and today's report to the committee are explicit that there has never been planning justification or requirement for a surgery on-site. Had residents not challenged that commitment the legal requirement to provide the surgery would still stand and the surgery would have been built by now.
"There are no planning grounds for this current planning application not to be approved."
Councillors were warned at the meeting they could face a planning appeal from the applicant if they deferred the decision again.
A vote to approve the proposals was thrown out by four votes to six before Councillor Geoff Pratt proposed a three month deferment to discuss a resolution.

How a Click O' Meter or Autobot Can Sabotage Your Email Marketing Campaign
Sometimes we have to see things before we believe them, experience something before we feel the sting. Luckily, when working in the technology field, metrics are always there to back up a claim — or dismantle it. A third-party email list rental's credibility lies in its results. Those results give an individual list esteem or shame.
An email data file can be a whole different animal compared to a website's email list (ones where consumers have happily and knowingly opted into). Many agencies that rep these types of files purchase their data from aggregators, rename them and claim them as their own. This process can work smoothly when agencies are knowledgeable and diligent about the sources and compliance of the emails. Many are not. Sadly, with revenue in the online media services space making the rounds, brokers and their companies are doing everything they can to get their own cut.
Surely a junk file would have its cover blown right away, you say. Not true. In fact, the technology that enlightens can also deceive. Enter the "click o' meter" or autobot. Either auto-click settings on a computer timer or a paid representative make it look like an email file is performing — i.e., consumers are actually on the receiving end of a campaign, interested and clicking away.
Here's the simple concept: Just like anywhere in the business world, there are companies ready and willing to take advantage of those who are ill-advised or just not knowledgeable enough about their craft. With a click o' meter, it's easily done. In order to appear to mailers and advertisers that there's a plethora of interest in their email creative and offers, there are companies out there that will pay a staff of people (sometimes not in the U.S. to avoid legal penalties) to click through emails.

The school inspector was visiting St Theresa's school. He had almost completed his inspection, when he entered the final classroom and saw the teacher in conversation with Fr Pat and going over to them he introduced himself. He was told that they were having a lesson in religious education; he spoke to some of the pupils and examined their work. Finally, he returned to the front of the class and told the pupils he was most impressed with the standard of their work, but before leaving he would like to ask them a question they would all be able to answer. Looking at a sea of attentive faces he asked, "Can you tell me who knocked down the walls of Jericho?" A little lad sitting in the front put his hand up and said, "Please sir it wasn't me." The boy sitting next to him said," "It definitely wasn't him sir" and a chorus of voices chimed up all saying the same thing, that it wasn't them who damaged the wall. The inspector was now getting slightly annoyed and approaching Fr Pat said, "Someone in this room must know who knocked down the walls of Jericho, do you?"
Looking at him for a moment, Fr Pat replied, "I know my children, and if they say they didn't do it, then I believe them."
The inspector returned to his office and made his report and some days later was summoned to the office of the Chief Education Officer, who had his report on his desk. "Look," said his boss "You gave this school a really good report, apart from this business of knocking the wall down; just tell me where it is and I will send a maintenance gang down there first thing on Monday morning to repair the damage, we don't want the press hearing about this , do we?" I have since spoken to Fr Pat and he is quite adamant, that the children at St Theresa's are completely innocent of any damage caused to the walls of Jericho.
"Lord, we pray that we may always have a listening ear and an open heart."

Millions of eyes and ears count on ― and respect ― Geoff Colvin's insights on the key issues driving change in business, politics, and the economy. The senior editor of Fortune magazine, and named by Directorship magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential Figures in Corporate Governance," Colvin draws on his years of insider access to top government figures and high-profile executives to share effective leadership strategies, and provides his unparalleled perspective on the business climate of today…and tomorrow. Below Geoff contemplates the impact of Brexit:
Brexit Fallout: World Leaders Should Wonder If They're Next
Imagine what's going through the mind of every developed country's leader. Virtually all of them had endorsed the losing Remain side in the Brexit referendum, and now they're wondering, What if that referendum's equivalent had been held in my country? Nationalistic, anti-immigrant, isolationist movements are rising in France, Austria, Poland, Denmark, and elsewhere in the developed world. While those movements are usually described as right-wing, the Leave supporters also included a left-wing faction of older trade unionists and younger socialists, and every developed country has plenty of those too.
Collectively they're people who believe they got the bad end of the deal in the opening of the world to freer trade, migration, and acceptance of unfamiliar cultural values. The big news from Britain is that those people are a majority there, and now leaders around the world are wondering if they're a majority in his or her country. If Hillary Clinton wins in November, she'll face a similar issue: Trump and Sanders supporters, though opposed to one another, are united in their fury over how today's economic and cultural order has treated them, and together they may constitute a majority of the electorate.
The Leavers in Britain have had the satisfaction of giving established authority a poke in the eye, but now they'll have to face the consequences of doing what was worst for them. Britain and the Leavers will likely be less prosperous than they would have been in the EU. Despite the drama of the vote, very little has been resolved.
The No. 1 agenda item at the next G20 meeting, in September, seems clear.

Cycling is popular in Santa Clara.
Since its invention and mass production, cycling has become a popular form of transportation.
From the child who first learns that a bicycle can give you the freedom to travel on your own, to adults who resort to cycling for exercise and family outings, cycling provides many wonderful recreational opportunities.
However, accidents involving cyclists are common.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's most recent statistics, in 2010, there were 618 motorcycle-related cyclist fatalities, and more than 52,000 cyclists were injured in vehicle accidents in the United States.
Top Causes of Bike Accidents
Bicycle accidents, similar to motorcycle accidents, sometimes happen when the driver cannot "see" the bicycle on the road.
In legal terms, it means the driver failed to adhere to the right-of-way.
Cyclists have the right to share the road with other vehicles without danger.
A driver can be negligent when he or she does not check his or her surroundings properly for cyclists while changing lanes or making a turn.
Other types of bicycle accidents in Santa Clara include the following situations:
- The door of a car opens as a cyclist passes by.
- The driver is distracted (possibly due to talking on a mobile phone or texting).
- A drunk driver crashes with a cyclist.
- A driver misses a stop sign or runs a red light
- In some cases, a defective bicycle part can cause an accident. Examples of defective components include tires, brakes, pedals, foot clips and the bicycle frame.
If you were injured, you may be eligible to receive compensation to cover medical bills, loss of income and rehabilitation costs, in addition to other potential damages.
Let a bicycle accident lawyer from Avrek Law help you.
Common Injuries From Bicycle Accidents
When it comes to injuries sustained in bicycle accidents, there are a range of potential injuries.
Every accident is different and adverse in its own way. Probably the most common serious injury is clavicle fracture.
A cyclist by instinct will try to extend his or her arms as he or she falls, and unfortunately the force of the impact can lead to the fracture of the clavicle.
Obviously, cyclists have little protection against a vehicle and being thrown headlong into traffic or a hit against the asphalt can result in serious injuries such as:
- Back and spinal injuries
- Contusions
- Traumatic brain injury
- Head injuries
- Bone fractures
- Paralysis
- Broken bones
- Death
Hospital Bills For a Bike Accident
The mentioned injuries above can change the life of the victims completely as well as produce catastrophic results for their relatives.
For that reason, it is of the utmost importance that you hire a lawyer with experience and knowledge in this type of accident so that you can protect your legal rights.
When you hire Avrek Law Firm, you can be confident that you are hiring a lawyer with experience in bicycle accidents in Santa Clara.
Any cyclist involved in an accident as a result of a collision with a motor vehicle could suffer catastrophic and permanent injuries.
Our firm has years of experience and working for maximum compensation for all injuries and medical bills.

What is My Bike Accident Claim Worth?
- Future or past medical expenses
- Therapy and rehabilitation
- Physical therapy
- Loss of wages
- Loss of ability to receive income
- Assistive devices (wheelchairs, hearing aid, visual, etc.) and transport
- Loss of property (damage to the bicycle)
- Pain and suffering
- Mental distress and emotional stress
- Disfigurement
- Not being able to enjoy life
How Long Do I Have To Take Legal Action?
A statute of limitations provides the law for the period of time during which a person must file their claim or risk losing their legal rights forever.
In California there is a 2 year general time period during which you can sue (or be sued) for personal injury damages, such as those incurred in bicycle accidents.
Is a Lawyer Necessary? How Much Does It Cost?
If you or a loved one has been injured in a bicycle accident due to another driver's negligence in Santa Clara, Avrek Law Firm can help.
Our attorneys have the experience and knowledge to help you win your case.
During the free consultation, our legal experts will speak personally with you to discuss the facts and factors of your case by carefully reviewing the reason for your injuries and will also tell you what your rights are.
However, Avrek Law Firm, takes all personal injury cases under "contingency payment."
It means that you do not pay in advance and you only pay a fee if Avrek wins your case.
Bike Accident Checklist – What To Do After An Accident
In the event that you are involved in a bicycle accident in Santa Clara, first use common sense, and take the following tips:
Your health comes first
The first thing to do is to seek medical attention. In some cases, you may feel that your injury is not serious enough to go to a doctor, but it is a good idea to go see a professional and examine yourself, this can reduce the risk of complications, permanent scars and infections. Some injuries will not manifest immediately after an accident, such as pain in the wrist, neck pain or back problems. In the event that they arise later, it is important to seek medical help and above all to ask for a record that documents your injuries if what you are looking for is compensation.
Get all the basic information
Getting as much information about the accident as possible is a matter of priority. Among the most important documents to be obtained is a record of the place and time of the accident, the names and specifics of all the persons involved including the information of all witnesses who were at the scene of the accident and police reports. Take photos of the place where the accident occurred and also take photographs of injuries and damage to your property. Graphic images are important as they can be used as evidence.
Contact the police
The next step is to call the police because in some cases, they can offer a quick response and even help you get medical care. The police must draft a police report and you should make sure you get a copy of that report.
Collect and store important information
Once the police have concluded with the use of evidence, that in this type of case would be your personal items such as your helmet, clothing and any other item you used at the time of the accident, remember to add it to your material file to the case. And the same thing happens with the receipts and invoices of the repairs of your bicycle and if you buy any other protective equipment or accessories for your bicycle, it is also advisable to save them.

The New Hybrid Ford Police Interceptor is boasting better MPG and a much more impressive HP, keeping high speed pursuit chases within distance while saving taxpayers gas while these cars idle during traffic stops.
According to Ford,
[The] new hybrid Utility could save up to 993 gallons of fuel at idle and 343 gallons of fuel while driving, for a total annual fuel savings of 1,276 gallons per year. These figures are based on 4.9 estimated hours of idling per eight hour shift, with two shifts per day, for every day of the year.
At Ford's estimated $2.50 per gallon, it would total $3,190 in fuel savings every year. Their new EPA estimates promises a 24 MPG range. Sounds good to me!

NEW YORK— The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have prompted a name change for a film that was to be released next month. How to Survive a Hotel Room Fire, starring Julia Roberts, David Hyde Pierce and David Duchovny, may now be called The Art of Negotiating a Turn, according to Foxnews.com. The plot of the film, which focuses on the art of surviving a relationship, is still under wraps, but supposedly hinged on a manual called, "How to Survive a Hotel Room Fire" to which the main characters refer. It gave tips such as closing the windows, staying near the ground, etc. Three hotels were severely damaged in the attack on New York City: the Marriott World Trade Center was destroyed, the World Financial Center Marriott was deemed irreparable, while the Hilton Millenium suffered severe exterior damage.

Four Bodies Recovered from Hableány Wreck
The body of the Hungarian captain of the tourist boat Hableány (Mermaid) has been removed from the wreck after the vessel sank on May 29 when she collided with the cruise ship Viking Sigyn.
The Hableány was brought to the surface on Tuesday, and four victims were recovered, including the captain and the only child that was on the vessel. There were seven survivors in the incident and 24 now confirmed dead, most South Koreans. Four remain missing.
The Hableány, a 27-meter (89-foot) double-decker tourist ship, sank quickly after colliding with the 135-meter (443-foot) Viking Sigyn on the Danube River in Budapest last Wednesday night. The wreck was found on the bed of the river close to one of the pillars of Margaret Bridge. Some of the bodies that were recovered last week were pulled out of the water several miles south of the bridge where the incident occurred, according to a map release by the police.
Questions have been raised about the high amount of traffic on the Danube at the time and the possible tightening of water traffic regulations.
The 64-year-old captain of the Viking Sigyn, who is a Ukrainian citizen, was arrested last Thursday following questioning. The court has ordered that he be detained for a period of 30 days pending prosecution.

Burmese Filmmaker Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi Sentenced to One Year Hard Labor for Posts Critical of Military
Conviction marks another blow to freedom of expression in Myanmar
(New York, NY) — A court in Myanmar today sentenced filmmaker Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi to a year's hard labor for posts he made on social media that were critical of the military. In a statement, PEN America called the sentence an abhorrent affront to freedom of expression and artistic freedom.
"Imprisoning Min Htin Ko Ko Gyi, a prominent filmmaker and human rights advocate, for merely speaking his mind on a personal Facebook page demonstrates the growing lengths to which Myanmar will go to silence dissent and restrict the free flow of ideas," said Julie Trébault, director of the Artists at Risk Connection (ARC) at PEN America. "Ko Ko Gyi's conviction is one more iteration of a larger, calculated crackdown by the Burmese government against artists, journalists, activists, and any other cultural practitioners whose ideas pose a threat to those in power. We emphatically call for an end to the persecution of artistic voices in Myanmar."
Ko Ko Gyi was sentenced under section 505(a) of the country's penal code, which criminalizes making, publishing, or sharing "any statement, rumour or report" that might induce any military service member "to mutiny or otherwise disregard or fail in his duty." The court has not yet decided if it will pursue a sentence under the country's telecommunications laws, under which Ko Ko Gyi has also been charged. You can read PEN America's past statement on Ko Ko Gyi's trial here.
PEN America leads the Artists at Risk Connection (ARC), a program dedicated to assisting imperiled artists and fortifying the field of organizations that support them. If you or someone you know is an artist at risk, contact ARC here.

Product Tested By Sarah Halloran – Jake 2 Years
Sarah Awarded the 'My Big Star Chart' 4.2/5
A very good chart. Looked well thought out and seemed to be well made. I do like the format of the chart and the fact I could choose my own stickers and make up my own rewards to suit us better as a family. I thought the instructions were good, but having not used a reward chart before I felt there could be more detail on the types of rewards I could use. For example, Jake isn't yet old enough to really understand delayed rewards so it would have been better to have this explained and given us alternative rewards to use. The stickers were great and covered all eventualities. Jake was excited about it at first, but he pays little attention to it unless I give him a sticker and then his interest is fleeting. We had good success with some problem areas we had been experiencing such as sharing and going to bed. Jake loves to get a sticker and me and my Husband love giving them to him. We let him choose his sticker and put it on his chart. Great quality and design and I will reuse this one for my younger son when he is old enough. The size of the chart was very suitable, it needs to be big enough so that the child can see it and also so you can include the many different categories on it, which this chart was. Before I was selected to test this product, I was considering purchasing one! I would definitely buy another either for myself or a friend. My Big Star chart is a great idea and introduces the concept of rewards to children of a younger age. This was exactly what I was looking for. Later, when Jake is able to understand the reward system a little more, I think we will have even more success. For us it has been great for adding a little substance to the praise we give Jake, allowing him to choose a sticker and get a little round of applause each time. I can really see the need to give children rewards for really good behavior and charts like this are a great idea. We love it and hope that others find the same success that we have had with the chart too. Sarah Halloran – Jake 2 Years
Product Tested By Jane Belsham – Jack & Adam Ages 4 & 2 Years
Jane Awarded the 'My Big Star Chart' 4.1/5
Nice and bright colours on the chart, I liked the big and easy to understand stickers on it. The chart has a good format because you can change the goals and put on and take off stickers as required. The instructions are very easy to understand and adapt if necessary. There are plenty of ideas on what to use the chart for and the fact that you can write on the chart was good too, although the pen did smudge easily. I am using the chart with my 2 & nearly 5 year old, my 2 year old is a little young but he loves the stickers! It has been very useful for Jack and I have found it useful to me too. The quality of the product could have been better, I found that the pen smudged easily, the stickers did fall off once in a while and I would have preferred for the chart to have been a little smaller and for the paper to have been thicker, i.e. card. Also, a hook to hang it up would have been great. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost, I would probably have bought one if I had seen it in store. I found the chart to be a little too big for my needs but I can understand why it is that size, so it can be best suited for little ones. But the bright and bold design was great and I have really enjoyed testing it out! Great fun to use, for me and the kids! Jane Belsham – Jack & Adam Ages 4 & 2 Years
Product Tested By Fay McBride – Josh 4 Years
Fay Awarded the 'My Big Star Chart' 3.7/5
Very colourful and informative product. The instructions for the chart were very concise and simple and there were enough ideas on the chart to keep Josh busy. My child understood the concept of the chart very well because we have something similar in place already. The chart was very successful for me and my child and Josh loved it. The quality is fairly good but I do feel it is a high price tag for us personally. The chart was an excellent tool for encouraging Josh to complete a number of tasks, and he really liked it when he was rewarded at the end of each session. However, as great as the chart is I think that the chart is far too expensive for what it is especially as there are others on the market that is far cheaper and just as effective.

We love it and hope that others find the same success that we have had with the chart too

Director: Kevin Connor
Year 1978
Warlords of Atlantis is a fun little fantasy flick that features Doug McClure doing what Doug McClure does best, and that's fighting giant monsters while exploring wild and untamed new worlds. Centered on a lost civilization that lies underneath the
The film follows an exploration team lead by Charles Aitken and Greg Collinson, as they attempt to discover the lost city of
Doug McClure plays the role of Greg Collinson, the creator of the underwater device that allows them to traverse the depths of the
As for the rest of the players of the piece, Peter Gilmore takes on the role of Charles Aitken a scholarly man with a penchant for exploring new cultures, Lea Brodie plays Delphine a beautiful slave who has lived most of her life under servitude, John Ratzenberger of Cheers fame plays the role of Fenn the bastard sailor who only thinks of himself, and Michael Gothard and Cyd Charisse who take on the roles of Atmir and Atsil, two aliens that want nothing more than to rule the human race with an iron fist. Each individual role in this film is given equal opportunities to thrive, but none take it as far as Peter Gilmore with his portrayal of Charles Aitken. As an intelligent man and leader of the expedition, the alien's believe that he is evolved enough to be able to join their cause of world domination, so they try to enlist Charles into their ranks. It's through this character and his interactions with the alien race that we get to see the more privileged side of their society. It's an interesting view into their world, and the character of Charles Aitken is the construct in which allows us to peek into their way of life, so Gilmore brings a whole other layer to the proceedings that really end up being quite captivating and compelling to see play out.
As for the general look of the underground world of Atlantis, the production gravitates to epic proportions with diverse displays of grandeur, while accomplishing this larger than life feat in the simplest of ways. We're privy to expansive cavernous halls, foreboding beast infested swamps, grand scaled fortresses, and extravagant palace chambers filled with beautiful people and decadent fountains, all through traditional filmmaking techniques like matte paintings and oversized sets which give the film a tangible feel. There's a honed stylistic presentation to all of the different locations of the movie, allowing for us to familiarize ourselves with the culture that built these uncharted wonders while giving the entire look of the film a continuous visual appearance that tells the history of its people through its imaginative imagery. If there's one thing to be said for the overall look of the movie and the world that it has created, it would be that it is genuine in its portrayal of a lost and savage civilization.
The same can be said for the film's robust and creatively imagined creatures. Though there isn't a great deal of variety between the monstrosities that attempt to devour our poor cast of adventurers, the few that do appear on screen make a lasting impression. From a gigantic oversized octopus, to a herd of large rock-like four legged monsters, to a frighteningly viscous man-eating swamp creature, to the ridiculous concept of flying ravenous fish, the film has its fair share of nightmares to fling at our main players. What's really great about all of these creations is that they are all done in practical ways through the use of puppetry and other similar techniques, making the movie dated, yet authentic to the world the filmmakers have set up. Unlike modern computer generated movie monsters, these beasts have a sense of weight to them and they actually give the impression that they share the same plain that their real life actors do, even though they are performing in front of projections. All in all, the effects work might be crude by today's standards, but the overall end result is as practical and genuine as needs be for a fun film such as this one.
Warlords of Atlantis is an enjoyable fantasy/adventure outing that captures that nostalgic magic that these films are known to cast upon their audience, and simply runs with it to the bitter end. Not only that, but the ambitious nature of the movie doesn't go without notice, even by the most ornery of movie snobs. With a stellar cast that does more than an excellent job with the material, the film world becomes an excellent playground for these characters to just have a blast in. Doug McClure and Peter Gilmore especially seem to have a ball in this film, and the interesting situations that they find themselves in makes for some fast paced and remarkably entertaining viewing.
Not only does the cast carry the story along with great effect, but the film also moves at a tremendous pace as it shows us all that this wonderful new world has to offer. From lavish sets, to detailed matte paintings, to wonderful creature designs, the film has a substantial amount of creative input behind it that wholly shows as the movie begins to unwind. As an adventure movie the film is fantastic and the inclusion of Doug McClure is only icing on the cake. If you're in the mood to get lost in a world that is filled to the brim with outlandish creatures and equally immersive vistas, then hunt down this obscure gem and give it a watch. Warlords of Atlantis is…..

Share |
The Immigrant Defense Project (IDP) in New York City helps thousands of immigrants in New York State. Among them are families made up of U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries who would have been torn apart by deportation without proper representation. Previously a NYSDA program, the independent IDP provides training and consultation to public defenders representing immigrants in the criminal and family court systems.
NYSDA works with the NY Indigent Legal Services (ILS) Office and counties to support and publicize Regional Immigration Assistance Centers (RIACs) around the state, created with grants from ILS. Addresses for the RIACs, and other resources relating to immigration, can be found at Criminal Immigration Resources.
NYSDA has a long-standing commitment to address the potential immigration consequences of criminal and family court proceedings starting in 1997 with the Criminal Defense Immigration Project, a year after Congress made draconian changes to immigration laws that remain in place. In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Padilla v Kentucky that attorneys must advise clients about immigration consequences of criminal case dispositions. NYSDA offered award-winning trainings across the state to help public defense providers implement this constitutional obligation.

Your workspace is a powerful force because it can display the general culture of your company. Many offices are designed in a way to complement the goals and ideals of the people who work there. As a result, the environment you work in sends a strong message that gives outside people an idea of what kind of company you work for. Read onward to learn more about how the design of your office can reflect the kind of culture of your company as a whole.
Creative Culture Focuses on Collaboration
If a company has a heavy focus on creativity and collaboration, it will be easy to see in the design of the company office. An office that emphasizes cooperation will have more open spaces that encourage employees to work together and brainstorm ideas. You might also see some whiteboards set up around the office so employees can plan projects with visuals. To inspire creativity, these offices may have more emphasis on colorful decorations.
Overall, offices that focus on creative culture have less closed spaces to inspire more collaboration and creativity among workers.
Cubicle Culture
Companies that focus more on overall productivity will haves offices that look much different from ones that have a more creative culture. Offices that rely on cubicle culture are more formal in appearance, and they focus on keeping the workers more "controlled." Typically, these offices have more closed spaces and cubicles, so people can focus on their work with no distractions.
People who run these kinds of companies usually want workers to be more independent so they can work on their own and finish assignments on time.
Changing Ideals Lead to Redesigns
Your office is shaped by how you and your workers go about doing things. As a result, it's not out of the question for your office to change in design when things change within the company. For example, maybe you are used to working in a more closed environment, but the executives may want to open things up for more collaboration. To reflect this change, the design of the office will likely change to incorporate more open spaces for employees to use.
Office designs need to accommodate the workers, so if someone cannot get work done in the current conditions, changes will probably come soon after.
Designing Your Office to Fit Your Culture
If you want your workspace to better reflect your company's ideals and goals, you first need to determine those goals. Think about the core values of the company, and think about what employees will need to complete their assignments. For example, if you want collaboration to exist in your workspace, you need to incorporate more open areas. Finally, design the office with furniture and decorations that suit your company's themes so people will have a clear understanding of what the company seeks to do.

New Sci-Fi/Crime Web Series Release
Gritty crime-noir fantasy Shotgun Mythos releases on web platforms blip.tv, itunes, Web Series Network, Slebisodes and DailyMotion.
By: Shotgun Mythos
The first 12 episodes have completed filming, and started airing on December 27, with new episodes releasing each Thursday. But getting to this point hasn't always been easy. Created by a small company in Martinsburg, WV, Shotgun Mythos had its share of challenges prior to launch. Key roles had to be recast on short notice, locations had to be changed at the last minute, and special effects did not arrive, but the little no-budget production pressed on. "It's been an adventure. Do I wish that things had been a little easier? Sure. But we made it through...and some of the challenges turned out to be the best things that could have happened. Take the recasting of Ari, for example. Robbie Whiplash stepped into the role at the last moment, when an actor dropped out of the production due to family issues. And it was the best thing that could have happened. Because not only is Robbie perfect as Ari, he is also a talented musician who had created a spectacular score for the series. The show wouldn't be the same without his music." Gaige said.
And production of the web series is just the beginning. The team behind Shotgun Mythos have created a fan's dream. The website offers not only episodes of the show and a synopsis of it, but cast bios, detailed bios for each character, behind the scenes features, and details about the mythology and history that give a glimpse into the world, and a clue to things to come. An active Facebook page, a weekly podcast and a daily blog all combine to give almost unlimited access to the show.
"We hope that viewers enjoy the story we have to tell, forget that we are a little no-budget production and enjoy the ride."

Under the Black Ensign(2009)
A novel by L Ron Hubbard
Riveting, historical accounts of daredevils, pilots and brutal madmen... Tom Bristol's career as first mate of the Maryland bark Randolph abruptly ends during shore leave when he is press - ganged into serving aboard the British HMS Terror. Toil under the cruel whip of England is merciless: Crew members are treated as little more than chattel - barely fed, made to work past the brink of exhaustion and kept in line with a cat - o' - nine - tails.

Adding Goats To The Homestead
Guildbrook Farm has a series of videos of them preparing for, and adding, two goats to their homestead. They built a shelter for them, fenced in a yard, built a milking stand, brought in feed and supplies, and finally brought in the goats.
For anyone interested in goats, this series covers a lot of ground and is worth watching, IMHO.

Best Mobile Phone Cases for Samsung Galaxy Note 10
A big phone has a big price and the Note 10 is 180,000 PKR in Pakistan. With price so huge you need to protect this phone with a nice or a fancy cover or a case. As a new phone arrives in the market, people still have to wait a whole month to get a price friendly and a nice case for the phone in market or at the online market.
We have shortlisted 5 of the best cover cases which fit, suite and most importantly they are cost effective.
Spigen Liquid Air
The bottom left black colored case is Spigen Liquid Air This is a very slim case and its texture on the back makes it easy to carry. The texture looks like the texture of a tire of a car. This is the most loved case for Note 10 worldwide. Its laser cut precision not only makes the phone easy to hold but also the mate black color makes the phone classy with any other color you carry.
Incipio DualPro
The top right red colored case is Incipio DualPro This case is most loved by Marvel movie followers because this color is copied by the famous 'Iron Man' red. The reason it's called dual is because of the double layered silicon inner and the outer shell is made up of plastic. The double silicon layer will not let a single scratch on the phone's body and the rigid texture of the case gives you a good hand grip. The top and the bottom of the cover case is a little lifted. This will help if you drop you phone and the corner hit your phone, you won't have to worry about since Iron Man has it covered.
Snakehive Flip Cover
The top middle brown colored case is Snakehive Flip Cover Looking for a high-end combination case for your Galaxy Note 10 then the Snakehive Flip Cover is the perfect match for it. And it is available in different colors and all are made of genuine leather. The inner lining is made up of silicon and it makes it look like a wallet for phone. You can also keep some cash, you CNIC and your driving license or if you make a little space you keep a credit or debit card as well. This phone case will minimize you daily carry fanny packs or hand bags.
Bodyguardz Ace Pro
The bottom right grey colored case is Bodyguardz Ace Pro Just like the name it guarantees lifetime protection. The material is plastic but the feel of this phone case is very soft and the smoke grey color gives it a classic look.
Caseology Skyfall
The first top left green colored case is Caseology Skyfall This case is the most best looking for the cool kids, it totally fits the Note 10 and Note 10+. It has double structure, the clear case and a rigid plastic frame which gives a very firm grip. The Aura Glow color gives a multicolor view of the clear case and the best protection.
No Phone Available

A Mr Mogale's bank account is said to be accepting upfront payment before you are employed and is posing as a municipal official.
The public is being warned of "fake" municipal jobs after an unemployed woman was promised a job by a "recruitment agent".
The Bushbuckridge local municipality says they were made aware of this when they were informed by a local female job seeker who was almost tricked into depositing R2 300 into the bank account of a "Mr Mogale".
Municipal spokesman Aubrey Mnisi said the young woman was promised one of the advertised jobs which closed on 9 November 2018.
He said the Mr Mogale is accompanied by a lady.
"It must be noted that the municipality doesn't use recruitment agents and will not want money for anyone to get employment," Mnisi said this week.
He said their posts are advertised in newspapers, municipal notice boards and on www.bushbuckridge.gov.za.
"And we are appealing to community members not to fall prey to this scam. The fake municipal recruitment agents who are posing as employees of the municipality are using the following numbers to phone unsuspecting job seekers 063 629 8351 or 082 070 6614," added Mnisi.

The V block delivers another breakthrough in Harken's loop block series for Grand-Prix racers. Harken engineers have simplified the mechanics by combining the axial and thrust bearings into a single bearing set of V-shaped titanium rollers. The result is a strong, lightweight block that offers unmatched efficiency at high loads, while spinning freely at low loads for smooth easing in light air. Harken V blocks have aluminum sideplates, titanium sheave, and captive titanium roller bearings. V blocks are easy to disassemble for inspection and maintenance. Wide sheave accepts multiple lines for sail changes or a single, high-load larger line that requires a small deflection.
DO NOT use Harken equipment for human suspension unless product is specifically certified and labeled for such use.

BlackBerry's (NYSE:BB) new CEO, John Chen, has won praise for reducing expenses as part of a strategy to turn around the company, which was once a dominant, innovative player in mobile tech.
But Chen's strategy goes beyond cost reductions. To regain market share from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Samsung, Chen is also taking measures to realign the supply chain, establish a focus on the core strengths of enterprise and security, and strengthen BlackBerry's presence in key markets. More important, Chen is considering releasing new services and products, such as stickers and phablets. Will Chen succeed in turning around BlackBerry?
The problem
It's no secret that BlackBerry failed to anticipate that consumers -- not enterprises -- would drive the smartphone revolution. Moreover, BlackBerry failed to innovate. Apple, on the other hand, released truly revolutionary devices such as the iPod and iPhone that reshaped consumer expectations for electronics under the Steve Jobs era.
For example, by the time Apple was developing the first iPhone, BlackBerry was still focused on producing phones with full keyboards. And when BlackBerry finally decided to release a consumer-focused smartphone, it was simply too late.
As a result, in less than a couple of years, Apple and Google conquered the smartphone arena, leaving BlackBerry with a tiny 3% share of the market. Not surprisingly, the company's stock price collapsed, from $200 in mid-2007 to under $7 by late-2013.
Cash burn
In its most recent quarter, BlackBerry reported a loss of $0.08 per share. Although the figure was far better than what the Street was expecting, the company clearly burned cash, despite its efforts to catch up with Apple and Google by releasing new devices, such as the Z10 model.
The solutions
To stop the cash burn, Chen has been cutting several costs. In September 2013, the company laid off more than 4,000 people. More recently, it sold the bulk of its Canadian real estate holdings, in order to add more cash to its balance sheet.
However, cost reduction measures are not enough to turnaround BlackBerry. This is why Chen is focusing on new services and products that may improve BlackBerry's top line in the mid run.
Some of BlackBerry's new products may be far away from the hardware industry. For example, BlackBerry launched stickers for BlackBerry Messenger on February 2014.
It is too early to know if BlackBerry's stickers will succeed in replicating Line's success. As a messenger app extremely popular in Asia, Line makes more than $10 million a month from selling stickers.
For BlackBerry, there are quite positive early signs. In South Africa, BlackBerry messenger rocketed to No. 3 on the iPhone social networking app chart in terms of revenue generation. The app also experienced hot early sales in Indonesia, Canada, and India.
The Phablet
Chen also gave hints during a recent visit to Indonesia that the company may be thinking of developing a phablet to accelerate BlackBerry's top line. Phablets, which accounted for 10.5% of smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2014, are a fast-growing industry, and could help Chen to achieve his ideal target of 10 million phone sales per year.
Note that if BlackBerry decides to release a phablet, it will have to compete against huge players, as even Apple may be interested in releasing a phablet. There have been several reports of Apple struggling to develop a 5.5-inch device.
Final Foolish takeaway
By releasing new services and keeping costs low, Chen could eventually turn around BlackBerry. As a matter of fact, there are some positive signals that suggest BlackBerry may have started to catch up with its competitors in terms of sales of devices. For example, BlackBerry sales in Toronto have been running roughly 15% higher than the iPhone's year-to-date sales as of May 2014. According to the same source, BlackBerry's sales in North America accounted for 6% of overall sales between December 2013 and May 2014, behind only Apple and Android devices. The release of new services and products, such as stickers and phablets, could help BlackBerry to further improve its top line and make the distance to a turnaround closer.

David Beckham is quitting LA Galaxy in December!
The superstar footballer confirmed the news this week, and said he's not retiring from the game:
"I've had an incredibly special time playing for the LA Galaxy, however, I wanted to experience one last challenge before the end of my playing career. I don't see this as the end of my relationship with [Major League Soccer], as my ambition is to be part of the ownership structure in the future.
Latest Stories
"In my time here, I have seen the popularity of the game grow every year. I've been fortunate to win trophies, but more important to me has been the fantastic reception I've had from fans in LA and across the States. Soccer's potential has no limits in this wonderful country, and I want to always be part of growing it."
David's last game for LA Galaxy will be the MLS cup final on December 1, and we'll be waiting for announcements about where we can see him in his kit next!
It sounds like he's not done with the USA just yet… BS

Some of you may have noticed already, but Sweet Nothings has a brand-new look! I've wanted to give the site a refresh for a while now. My strengths lie in the fields of bra fitting, chocolate consumption, and the accumulation of ballet trivia, not so much in the fields of graphic and web design. I'm extraordinarily grateful to Alysha and the talented team at Square Root Creative for the countless hours of hard work they've put into the site and my business. They've created absolutely beautiful original art and a brand-new layout that not only look and feel a whole lot more like "me", but that will also make the site easier to navigate and browse.
I am sure there will be some wrinkles left to iron out over the next few days (which I will be attending to when I'm not at work), but please feel free to look around and make yourselves at home. Can't see the new site, or getting a redirect notice? Try clearing your cache and refreshing your browser. The new site should be visible to everyone in 24-48 hours.

Neuroscience - Glutamate (Metabotropic) Group I Receptors - Histamine H1 Receptors - DREADD Ligands - 5-HT1 Receptors
Neurons are the foundations of the sophisticated neural networks. Neurotransmitters such as dopamine, glutamate, and GABA, are crucial signaling molecules for the delivery of neuronal signals. Neurons synthesize/import neurotransmitters, and store them in presynaptic vesicles. A neuronal impulse is propagated by the vesicles released from presynaptic neurons.
Neurotransmitter receptors function via various G-protein coupled and G-protein independent mechanisms that activate downstream intracellular signaling pathways such as cAMP/PKA, PI3K/AKT, phospholipase A2, and phospholipase C pathways. For instance, dopamine receptors act through adenylate cyclase to activate PKA and other signaling molecules, thereby mediate gene expression through the actions of CREB and other transcription factors. Other neurotransmitters such as NMDAR or AMPAR are associated with ion channels that control flux of Ca2+ and Na+, thus propagating the action potential across the post-synaptic neuron.
Dysfunctions in GABAergic/glutamatergic/serotonergic/dopaminergic pathways result in a broad range of neurological disorders such as chronic pain, neurodegenerative diseases, and insomnia, as well as mental disorders including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, and addiction.
