Yes, again. Lest you think I mourn only those lives lost in the U.S. coal mines (See "Is a Miner's Life Worth the Price of Some Sensors?" and "Think They're Reading My Blog?"), let me say it is not so. I draw your attention today to the 65 coal miners by now presumed dead in the San Juan de Sabinas mine in northern Mexico. Twelve others at the mine entrance were burned or had their bones broken by the explosion that has trapped the 65 somewhere underground. The particulars are horribly familiar.
No one is quite sure where the miners are. They have been wherever they are, perhaps 1-3 miles from the entrance, since about 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, February 19. Their emergency oxygen tanks can last 6 hours. Their rescuers are digging by hand because power equipment could set off another explosion. And, just to top it all, a local electrical outage temporarily shut down a ventilation system intended to send fresh air down and exhaust the volatile gases. At least those waiting above weren't given false hope as they were at the Sago Mine disaster. As far as I've been able to learn, no one's telling anyone anything.
Then Who's Saying What?
Statements, however, have been issued. Consuelo Aguilar, a spokeswoman for the Mexican National Miners' Union, was quoted as saying that "labor leaders have been concerned about safety conditions in Grupo Mexico mines." But Juan Rebolledo, Grupo Mexico's vice president of international affairs, asserted that both national and international safety standards were met, while adding that "accidents can always happen." And Pedro Camarillo, a federal labor official, observed that nothing out of the ordinary was discovered during a routine evaluation earlier this month.
And How Do We Figure In?
As it happens, Grupo Mexico SA de CV mines not only coal but is also the world's third-largest copper producer. It has operations in Mexico, Peru, and the U.S.
Now we get to where the rubber meets the road. My guess is that some of that coal—and/or that copper—is sold in this country. This country is the operating base for many humanitarian souls working to improve the working conditions of migrant workers and to eliminate the products of sweatshops both domestic and overseas from our clothing stores. It is also the country that for a couple of years banned tweezers from carry-on luggage and is currently busy with a more stringent definition of "whole grain" as advertised in food products.
Why, then, are the miners still fending pretty much for themselves, both here and in Mexico? The Canadians appear to have discovered the wonders that sensors and other advanced technology can accomplish to enhance the safety of its miners, several of whom recently survived accidents that would have taken many lives south of that northern border. (Yes, the situation is far worse in China, but right now I'm talking about the Western world.)
One perhaps telling note is that Grupo Mexico shares rose 1.2% at 1:30 p.m. EST yesterday, February 21, 2006.

ADOTAS – When my wife was first pregnant, she bought the book, "What to Expect When You're Expecting." We were new to this journey, and wanted to know exactly what this answered for over 15 million people: what to expect.
And as online advertisers, agencies and publishers leap into this year with an attribution model on their list of goals, they often ask the same question: What should I expect?
How will moving from last-click attribution model to a full-funnel attribution model affect how I buy media?
What should I expect in search?
What should I expect in display?
What should I expect in affiliate?
With news from the longest running attribution study of its kind (two years), expectant media buyers will be pleased. But before we deliver the results, let's reveal how our industry first came to ask these pregnant questions.
Imagine you're responsible for a multimillion dollar online ad budget. And you learn that today's outdated online ad tracking systems give 100% credit to the very last clicked or last viewed ad before an online transaction.
Example: if seven Internet ads contribute to a transaction, today's outdated systems allocate entire credit to the very last ad, ignoring the prior ads that created your revenue.
Zero credit to revenue drivers — 100% credit to the last ad. It must be a bad dream, but it isn't. For Internet advertisers spending $70 billion worldwide each year, we're slowly waking up to the problem.
Now some coffee — a full-funnel media attribution model. Robust attribution modeling systems recognize credit should be assigned to a team of Internet ads versus the last ad.
Teamwork in attribution modeling arrives through assigning credit to Originators, Assists, and Converters within a transaction. Every transaction.
An attribution model should capture all online media sources involved from the top of the funnel where sales originate… down to the very bottom of the funnel. So in a $100 transaction, an Originator would receive a fraction of $100 credit–and the Assist and Converter would also receive fractional credit of the $100 attributed to them respectively.
One hundred percent of revenue credit is attributed and split among Originators, Assists, and Converters–accounting for the actual drivers of revenue. Then revenue and respective costs from paid media sources converge in a single, elegant number: Attributed Revenue-to-Spend Ratio (ARSR).
It's a simple ratio any marketer can grasp. If you have a 4.0 ratio for a specific keyword, or specific Display campaign–you're getting $4.00 in revenue for every dollar spent on that particular media source. Conversely, if you have an Attributed Revenue-to-Spend Ratio (ARSR) of 1.25 for a particular media buy—you're getting $1.25 in revenue for every dollar spent there.
Scale paid media sources with high numbers, and cut or improve media sources with low numbers. A quick, actionable and fully attributed metric. The special sauce–is the numerator of the ratio (attributed revenue), derived from full funnel attribution.
Your newborn attribution model can indeed be a bundle of joy (not every attribution model is…read here for seven key details).
But what should you expect in search?
With category keywords (e.g. "Crossover SUV") you'll discover good news. These upper funnel keywords are definitely expensive on a PPC basis. Perhaps they kept you up at night because the CPAs were horrible, but blended with brand term efficiency, it came out in the wash.
Now you can sleep. Since a full funnel attribution model measures every PPC term, you attribute not only originations, but assists—tracking beyond current arbitrary time limits, and event caps deleting every view and click beyond the 10 most recent.
So with an accurate picture of the entire funnel matched to costs, some of the most expensive non-brand terms are definitely worth the price per click, and some will not to be. But finally, an attribution model brings full vision.
Competitor keywords–will simply shock you with the knowledge from attribution modeling. As protective parents of our campaigns, we typically view any competitor as a threat, and bid on competitor terms "just because."
Let's say you have four competitors. What you'll discover with full funnel attribution is that you may have a positive correlation to Competitor A and Competitor C. Meaning, you actually want them to succeed–because when Competitors A and C are searched, you actually generate revenue.
So for these two competitors, you'll root for them. Suprising. But for Competitor B and Competitor D–you may discover a negative correlation. Meaning, when they are searched, all you're doing is spending money without returns. Essentially, not worth the getting worked up over, and not worth the bid. Surprising.
That's what to expect in search. And after two years of analyzing and reallocating based on this attribution model–search ROI increased 98% vs. baseline.
What should you expect in display?
Display is a puzzling baby for most people. Sometimes you just don't know what to expect. What happens in display with a robust attribution model is full revelation. Here's the tale of two networks:
One small network labored with a small five-figure monthly budget, and wasn't even on the advertiser's radar screen. In the first 60 days of attribution modeling, they finally received the credit they truly deserved–a ratio of 4.1. The agency doubled budget with them every month to see if they could scale. Six months later, they enjoyed a healthy seven figure annual budget while holding a solid ARSR.
The flip side. Another display network was discovered to be producing a ratio of 0.9 (less revenue than media spent). The network failed to improve, and spend was cut–improving profitability of the overall ad budget instantly. Their budget was reallocated to media sources producing higher attributed revenue-to-spend ratios.
Intelligent caring and feeding of display delivered 160% higher ROI for the channel in the two-year attribution study. Great expectations.
Now… what should you expect in affiliate?
For current affiliates, nothing much changes. Most often, affiliates are your best performing partners, and there's a risk the slightest change could cause them to jump ship to your competitors (and revenue runs out the door). Be prudent in the reality of the marketplace. You will, however, have a more accurate picture of your affiliate channel, typically crowding the bottom part of the funnel.
But attribution enables you to recruit new kinds of affiliates…ones who originate revenue vs. competing at the funnel's crowded bottom. Because, now, you have a model to compensate affiliates for originating and assisting. Without upsetting the affiliate ecosystem and crowding it even more—you plant crops of new affiliates growing new revenue vs. harvesting the existing revenue.
What can you expect when you're expecting ROI? To summarize the results of longest running attribution study of its kind:
- Seven-figure efficiency in the advertiser's online ad budget
- Display ROI improvement of 160%
- Search ROI improvement of 98%
- Accurate economic model to grow non-competing affiliates
What can you expect? The fountain of new knowledge. Sounder sleep at night. And yes, amazing ROI. Welcome to the new world.

Palco RUC 2018
Unique and quirky One Pager for Palco RUC – a stage at the biggest Portuguese academic festival, Queima das Fitas. Cheers for the build notes João – interesting to learn how the animations on each artist are based on their music style.
Palco RUC is a stage on the biggest Portuguese academic festival, Queima das Fitas, endorsed by the University of Coimbra Radio (RUC) and with focus on alternative and experimental music and artists.
The purpose of this site is to show the lineup for the four days of the stage (May 4,5,6 and 7 and give the opportunity for the people who go to the festival to have an idea of what they would see over there. The design and colors chosen enhance this alternative mindset and the animations on each artist are based on their music style.
The most struggling part of the development process of the site was the very short timeline (this site was made in less than 4 days) due some delays on the design process, since my role here was mainly UX/UI design and front-end development — the artistic lead (logo, identity, illustrations) was made by other person, Rúben Rodrigues. Despite this, I liked the final result and I'm proud of it!

Sidmouth Town duo depart for pastures new
PUBLISHED: 08:39 02 November 2018 | UPDATED: 08:39 02 November 2018
Sidmouth Town have parted company with a couple of players in the past week.
Tony Radford and Ash Mitchell have both departed Manstone Lane with the latter heading for Eastern Division table-toppers Elmore.
Town joint-boss Kevin Tooze says: "The lads have decided to move on and we wish them well. For our part we will now be looking to bring in two or three to boost the squad.
"We currently have no specific targets and so are open-minded as to who we might bring in, but bring them in we will."
He continued: "We won't sign players for the sake of signing, no; what we want are players who can come in, join the squad, make a difference, and complement what we already have .
"That way we are adding to the quality we have and further increasing competition for starting places."
Town, who are in Devon Premier Cup action on Saturday at Holsworthy (3pm), will be enjoying home comforts for the remainder of November, during which time they will play three league games – and all of them will be at Manstone Lane.
They are home next Wednesday (November 7) when Waldon Athletic are the visitors and they'll be back at Manstone Lane three days later (November 10) when they entertain Alphington. The following Saturday (November 17) they host Teignmouth and their next away league game is not until December 1 and a visit to Appledore.
There is one more November fixture for the Vikings and that is a Walter C Parsons Cup tie at Premier Division Cullompton Rangers on Tuesday, November 27.
In tomorrow's FA Vase 2nd Round, Western League Premier Division side Cadbury Heath, who knocked the Vikings out in the last round, face more East Devon opposition when they visit Southern Road, Exmouth. Saturday's game kicks-off at 3pm.

Plan For Second Up Success
Nov 18, 2018
What a stellar second up record the tough and honest Fast Plan boasts, the five-year-old in four preparations saluting at his second run back on three occasions with the most recent of those successes coming at Geelong on Sunday.
Despite running such a great race first up, Fast Plan was third favourite in a field of just six with the odds-on favourite Parsifal dominating the betting. And it was that horse who Jarrod Fry followed during the race, giving his mount every chance after settling him into a good rhythm at the rear of the field.
Hooking out into the clear early in the straight, Fast Plan joined a line of three who were fighting out the race down the straight but from the 100m he was able to gain the upper hand, digging deep as El Questro made a late dive along the rails.
"He had put the writing on the wall with his good first up run over an unsuitable 1100m," Mitch Freedman said.
"We trialled him on Tuesday in order to decide whether to step up to the 1400m here or run him over 1200m at Dunkeld on Saturday - he switched off so nicely in that trial and pulled up so well that we decided in favour of the longer trip."
"It was a good ride stalking the favourite," Mitch continued, adding that "he did clock off a bit when he hit the front - it certainly looks as though the addition of some head gear may suit him."
It is just Fast Plan's second preparation with the stable with Mitch confident that he has learned plenty about the bay - "we have a better understanding of him on the back of his first campaign with us and it was a great result for some really appreciative owners."
Bred by his owners, the son of high class sprinter Strategic is the first foal produced by the metropolitan winning Octagonal mare What A Beauty.
A half-sister to one of Strategic's best runners, the dual Grupp One winner Platelet, What A Beauty recently foaled a colt by the Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint winner Bobby's Kitten and she is also dam of a yearling colt by Epaulette.

Every small business owner knows that customer service is a critical part of achieving lasting success. Without taking proper care of your customers, you can't hope to grow, expand and prosper. There are many ways to enhance the customer service capabilities of your e-commerce business, but live chat is among the most effective options. Still, simply adding live chat to your site isn't enough. You need to know how to use it properly to ensure that it actually benefits your customers, and these tips will help you get there:
- Use the Right Technology – There are lots of live chat solutions out there, and some are far better than others. The best software allows you to chat with your customers quickly, easily and efficiently. You shouldn't have to jump through a bunch of hoops to make it work on your site. With a cloud-based live chat service like HelpOnClick, you can quickly implement a live chat solution that will dramatically enhance your site's customer service capabilities.
- Keep Your Audience in Mind – Your live chat representatives should be trained to understand who they will be assisting. As a small business owner, you should already have a clear idea about your target audience. Who does it consist of, and what kinds of expectations do they have? Whether you're targeting a young, hip demographic or an older, more professional one, your reps should know how to communicate effectively with them.
- Be Aware of the Most Common Issues – Like many e-commerce businesses, you may notice a pattern when it comes to the kinds of questions that people pose to your live chat reps. It's in your best interests to try to address these questions to keep the same problems from occurring again and again. Your site should have a FAQ that includes the most common questions and answers too. Still, your reps should be made aware of these questions as well and prepared to address them quickly and efficiently.
- Support should be Easy to Find – The last thing you should do is bury your live chat support on a random page. Instead, prominent links to initiate live chat should be placed throughout the site. Regardless of what a person is doing on your site and where he happens to be, he shouldn't have to dig around to access live support. When people can quickly get the help they need, they're more likely to stick around long enough to become paying customers!
- Be Warm and Personable – Train your live chat reps to be warm, friendly and personable at all times. If possible, include at least one photo of a friendly, smiling rep near the link to your live chat service. Show people that they will be treated with respect when they ask for help. Monitor chat logs to make sure that your reps are following through.
- Be Aware of Your Customer Service Demands – Some e-commerce businesses handle a very small volume of questions and issues from customers. Others are positively swamped with such activity. What kinds of customer service demands does your business deal with on a daily basis? Will your live chat support be able to accommodate them? Keep at it until you are able to handle your customers' needs properly.
- Don't Make People Wait – When people see that your site offers live chat support, they're going to expect to be helped promptly. Nothing is more frustrating to a customer than trying to initiate a chat and being put "on hold." Fortunately, services like HelpOnClick have virtual agents that can fill in when all of the live chat representatives are busy. This eliminates long wait times and keeps frustration at bay.
- Learn from Live Chats – A lot can be learned by keeping track of live support chats. Create a log of them and try to classify them in some way. Patterns are sure to emerge. What can you learn from those patterns? Perhaps one of your products has a flaw that can be addressed in some way, or maybe you can add a little more information to your product descriptions to cut back on confusion. In this way, live chat software can actually help you improve your business to give it an incredible competitive edge.
- Offer Around-the-Clock Support – Like the vast majority of e-commerce businesses, yours is probably patronized by people from all over the place. You don't shut down your site during non-traditional business hours, and you shouldn't shut down your customer support, either. Your live chat support should be available at all times.
Be a Customer Service Star with Live Chat By keeping these tips in mind, you will be able to give your customers the support they need. As your company grows, its customer service needs may change too. Make sure to use a live chat solution that can adapt to suit those ever-changing needs.

One of the greatest casual outfits I have seen in a long time, brough to us by the lovely Rumi over at Fashiontoast (again). There is something about this outfit that draws you in. Theres the prim/professional look of the oxford style shirt(vintage), the trendy leopard grey pants (Hot Topic), and of course the best part- THE shoes (Sam Edelman a la Balenciaga). I have wanted those shoes for the longest time. The only time I've seen them in real life available for purchase was in an LF store in Miami where they were 70% off.
Perfect, no? Too bad they only came in a size 10 and I am a size 7.5

While we were running around town last night, I had to grab some pictures of the Wall Street protesters staking their claim at Zuccotti Park.
It was freeeeezing and sooo windy and rainy last night. You have to give these people credit for fighting for what they believe in!!
Organizers have predicted the freezing temperatures and snow would reduce the Lower Manhattan encampment to a small assemblage through winter.
A snowstorm is predicted this weekend!
Does anyone know what they want done in order to stop the protesting?

Inspiring teenager Milly Rawley wins Prince's Trust award after enduring 'darkest times of my life'
PUBLISHED: 16:49 16 November 2017 | UPDATED: 17:03 16 November 2017
Milly Rawley was forced to sleep rough and spent time in a psychiatric hospital
An inspiring Dartford teenager who survived abuse and sleeping rough has received an award from The Prince's Trust for her work.
Milly Rawley, 19, was handed a young ambassador award at a glittering ceremony in London on Wednesday night for her work with the charity.
Speaking at the event, Miss Rawley said: "It's amazing to be honoured like this. The trust has changed my life, so it's weird that I'm the one getting the award."
The teenager's problems first started when her mother died at the age of 12, before suffering abuse in her teens.
The Prince's Trust young ambassador said: "After that, life just clouded over.
"It affected my school work and I was told to leave despite gaining two A*s, six As and two Bs in my GCSEs. Then I became homeless.
"I sofa-surfed and spent some terrifying nights sleeping rough; and then I found the YMCA."
By the age of 17, Miss Rawley was admitted to a psychiatric hospital after attempting suicide.
But when she arrived at the YMCA, she gained support from a keyworker.
The Dartford resident said: "Terry has helped me through some of the darkest times of my life and he introduced me to The Prince's Trust Team programme."
Running for 12 weeks, the programme aims to build confidence and employability skills for young people.
"At first, I thought I wouldn't have anything in common with the other people on Team, but I found that for the first time ever I could be myself," said Miss Rawley.
She continued: "The best part of the programme was our community project; we made care packages for the homeless and a documentary about homelessness, where they filmed me talking about my experiences."
Soon after the programme ended, the teenager enrolled at Sixth form to study her A-levels and began encouraging other young people to go on Prince's Trust programmes. She then applied to become a Prince's Trust Young Ambassador, a role that saw her share her story and represent the trust at high profile fundraising events on BBC Breakfast, Radio One and at the Daily Mirror's Pride of Britain Awards.
Miss Rawley added: "The Prince's Trust made me want to strive to do well and to help others; it's why I went back to school, it's why I volunteered to be a Young Ambassador and it's why I now work for the Trust. The Trust saved my life, and I'm now in a place where I can feel proud and build a future helping others! What an amazing place to be."
Following the award, Elizabeth Galton, creative director of award sponsors Mappin and Webb, said: "Milly is a very talented and inspiring young woman, and we are delighted to be able to congratulate her on winning the London and South East Young Ambassador Award.
"She has put in a huge amount of effort and work volunteering for The Prince's Trust as a Young Ambassador, and has played a key part in helping The Trust reach more young people. We wish her all the best with her next steps."

Iran is steadily increasing its crude supplies to Europe with the realization of 80% of oil export contracts with European buyers, director of international affairs at the state-owned National Iranian Oil Company said.
"Iran has signed contracts to export between 600,000 barrels and 700,000 barrels per day to its customers in Europe. Eighty-percent of these contracts have come into effect," Mohsen Qamsari was also quoted as saying by Shana on Saturday.
He named Italy, Greece and Spain as the main customers of Iranian crude.
Following Tehran's historic nuclear agreement with six world powers in July, several European companies and traders rushed to resume crude imports from Iran.
The lifting of western sanctions in January allowed international vessels to load Iran's crude oil from its terminals in the Persian Gulf without fear of the US and EU restrictions on doing business with Iran.
Iran has been pushing for long-term oil export contracts with Europeans. French oil and gas firm Total has signed a deal to take in 160,000 bpd of crude from Iran.
According to reports, Italian refiner Saras has signed a deal to import up to 60,000 bpd of oil from Iran, while Eni is in negotiations for a 100,000-bpd contract.
Qamsari said last month that more than one-third of Iran's exports in the post-sanctions period go to European markets.
The Royal Dutch Shell, Hungary's MOL and Tupras of Switzerland are also said to be joining the country's growing list of European customers. According to reports, Glencore PLC and Vitol Group, the world's two largest independent oil traders, are close to signing a long-term deal for purchasing Iranian crude.
Iran, currently the third-largest producer of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, is raising crude production and exports to wrest back the ground it lost to other producers.
Sanctions cut Iranian crude exports from a peak of 2.5 million bpd before 2011 to just over 1 million bpd. The county's crude output is now between 3.5 million and 3.8 million barrels a day and exports are just shy of the pre-sanctions level.

I realize that it is only the preseason, but we have a TEAM! Gruden and Mayock have put together an embarrassment of riches.
TE Darren Waller, who may not be the starter if Luke Wilson has anything to say about it. This 6'6" 255 lb athlete - with speed, 4.46 '40' time - from Georgia Tech can also play the wideout position.
Rio 'Smurf' Gafford from Wyoming, this guy played on both sides of the ball. Looks like the Raiders will have him returning punts, kickoffs, and wide receiver, but this dude is a straight baller. In college, playing corner, part-time, he was a Deion clone and a ballhawk. He's listed at 5'10" but I highly doubt that. Gafford is about the same size as Tyreek Hill with the Chiefs and maybe smaller. In the preseason game against the Cardinals, he scored on a 50+ yard TD pass from Mike Glennon.
The Raiders can also play 'Smurf' in the slot, and he is the type of player that can take it to the house from anywhere on the field; the Raiders have multiple players who have that ability.
Tyrell Williams, who came over from the Los Angeles Chargers, will start at one wideout position. He came into his own last season.
Hunter Renfro, 2-time NCAA Champion - Mr. Clutch - will make a very good slot receiver and security blanket for Carr.
J.J. Nelson from the Arizona Cardinals may be the fastest Raider. His scouting combine 40-time was 4.28!
Josh Jacobs is scary! Dangerous! Catching passes out of the backfield, running between the tackles, super lateral quickness, returns punts (although he won't return punts with the Silver and Black). Click on his name and watch a few of his Alabama highlights; he's also an exceptional blocker to boot.
The depth at the RB position is crazy. Doug Martin will be backing up Jacobs, then you have DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard. Oh, and gotta give a shout-out to OT Richie Incognito, he didn't play last year but he still has that nasty disposition on the field. I see why he often gets in little skirmishes with D-lineman, he gets up in yo chest.
The defense played extremely well. After Kyler Murray's debut, I thought he'd have some success against the Raiders, but they shut him down. He couldn't turn the corner on his scrambles because of the speed of the defense.
Clelin Ferrell, Arden Key, and even Quinton Bell from the SWAC are looking good. The LB crew is solid featuring Tahir Whitehead, Vontaze Burfict (looks like he could lose a couple pounds), and Brandon Marshall.
Rookies Jonathan Abram and Trayvon Mullen are solid. The starting DBs should be Karl Joseph at SS, Lamarcus Joyner FS, Daryl Worler RCB, and Nevin Lawson playing the nickel back.
I watched the Raiders preseason game against the Cards a few times. As I was thinking about the potential of my boys and that we have an embarrassment of riches! And then I thought, wait a minute, I forgot all about the best receiver in the NFL, Antonio Brown, and he's in phenomenal shape.
Roethlisberger and the Steelers can say what they want publicly, big Ben is going to miss AB. And JuJu Smith is no Antonio Brown, don't even think about it. To lose AB and Le'Veon Bell, and rely primarily on the Steelers signal caller, will ultimately cost Mike Tomlin his job because he should not have allowed that happen... cause ain't no dayuum way I'm losing Le'Veon and Antonio... NO WAY!

Government policies need to be in place: Deputy PM
Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam called for measures to execute the Government's policies soundly while chairing a meeting in Hanoi on December 10.
Illustrative image (Source: VNA)Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam called for measures to execute the Government's policies soundly while chairing a meeting of the National Council for Sustainable Development and Competitiveness Improvement in Hanoi on December 10.
He made the call in response to concern over the slow progress of implementing a resolution on improving the business climate and competitiveness for 2015-2016 in several ministries and localities.
Realities show that localities would achieve goals set in the resolution if authorities closely inspect and direct the enforcement, said Director of the Central Institute for Economic Management Nguyen Dinh Cung.
According to the World Bank's Doing Business report issued on May 31, Vietnam moved up three notches, from 93 rd last year to 90 th place out of 89 economies, with a marked improvement in business start-up time, customs, energy and credit access, social insurance and curbing of bankruptcy.
The report was compiled prior to the enforcement of the laws on Investment and Enterprises, so the WB experts have forecast another jump in the rankings in 2016.
However, it also showed Vietnam's modest performance when it comes to processing administrative procedures, trading across borders and protecting minority investors.
Discussing the United Nations' Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, participants shared the view that improving competitiveness is crucial to sustainable development.
The agenda features 17 goals at its core and 169 specific targets applicable to the most and least developed countries between now and 2030.
Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen The Phuong said the ministry will submit a socio-economic development strategy until 2035 to the Government, which will include the above goals.
Several opinions stressed the significance of improving labour output, which they said, needs better business environment.
The Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Government e-portal and the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry were asked to continue acquiring business feedbacks.-VNA

hen the pressure is on, it's hard to stay focused. Competition has a way of rattling even the strongest dancers. But the good news is that you become a tougher competitor in the same way you become a stronger dancer: focus. To get your head in the game, you've got to be in the moment. If you go into competition only looking at the outcome (winning), you'll lose focus quickly. Why? Because you can't control all of the factors. There are too many. The only thing you can control is what you're doing at that moment. From focusing on yourself to warming up for the mental challenges, here are four ways to help keep your eyes on the prize:
1. Stay Personal
Throughout the competition, focus on yourself. Now is not the time to worry about what your competitors are doing or not doing. Competitions should be fun. Enjoy being with your teammates when you have some downtime—we can't get enough of some backstage fun with our Rockettes sisters—but be ready and able to set aside any silliness when the time comes. If you've got loved ones in the audience, let them know that it's best for you if they agree to hang out with you after you are done for the day.
2. Prepare
The moments before you go on stage are important. Warm up for the mental challenges as well as the physical requirements of your number with a pre-performance routine that relaxes you. Remember, your body language can send a message to others but it also can send a message to your brain. Before you make your entrance, stand tall, lift your chin and your chest a little—even pose like Wonder Woman and stare towards the sky for 2 minutes to raise your confidence. Seriously. Science shows it works!
3. Pay Attention
Everyone experiences changes in their bodies right before a performance. Butterflies, shaky legs, heavier breathing, and increased heart rate are common ones but it's different for everyone. Be aware of the behavioral, physical, and mental shifts that usually happen in you. If you recognize these symptoms as just the involuntary stuff that happens when you compete, you've taken the first step toward controlling them.
The next step is letting go of how these changes make you feel so that you can focus on taking charge of the moment. Imagine releasing any anxiety symptoms with a specific mental image like pouring them down a drain or blowing them like dust into the wind.
4. Perform
When you've spent all day in a positive and focused frame of mind, the only thing left to do is to trust all the preparation and rehearsal you've already put in, and just dance.

Carol Sollows catches up with the kids that weren't able to be at the Sunday School wrap up in June. She's presenting the three children with Action Bibles for having been faithful to attend Sunday school, 2018-19. Looking forward to September already; God has blessed us with children at First and we're waiting for you to come and bless us, too!
What's Happening? >


text:
In this first chapter titled The Power , the author honestly talks first about how she did not rely on prayer as a source in her marriage.
The next thing she talks about, that I had never thought of, is that praying for your children is much easier than praying for your husband. Your children are born into this world looking so cute and having no ill will towards you. You and your husband may have a rocky past/present and this may make it difficult for you to pray blessings over him.
She said a great blessing came when God revealed to her that her husband was unable to be different than he was because he was caught in a web from his past. But, through the power of prayer God could use her as the instrument for his deliverance. If she would consent. She said that she would have to confess her own hardness of heart.
I was in this same place years ago. Once I realized this, things didn't change in him right away but they were changing in me. When things were bad I would come to him in peace and ask him if everything was ok, or I would pray that God would reveal to me what was wrong or what I could do.
She also asks us not to write off our marriages. As long as one of us is praying for the marriage to be restored there is hope for that restoration.
Lastly she urges us to find a prayer partner or two that we can confide in and draw strength from.
Next chapter is titled His Wife. Yep! She means us. First we need to pray for ourselves.

Firefighters battle massive fire at tire recycling plant
Firefighters battled a three-alarm fire Thursday evening near 32nd and Hadley streets.
It was at a tire recycling plant called Tire Express.
Milwaukee Fire Department Assistant Chief Brian Smith said fighting this fire wasn't easy.
"The building being so large, and the fire being at the back of the building, we had some difficulties getting some lines in position," Smith said.
The burning rubber inside the plant produced heavy smoke that poured into the sky, making air quality a major concern.
The Milwaukee Fire Department said it did some air monitoring. Smith said the air was all clear.
The fire was contained by 8 p.m., but firefighters were continuing to put out hot spots.
A Milwaukee County bus went to the scene to make sure employees had a warm place to wait. Everyone got out safely.
It's not yet known how the fire started. Smith said it is too early to tell how much damage was done.
We Energies said it shut off the natural gas to the building and had to turn off the power to about 50 customers in the area to keep things safe for the firefighters.
As of 10 p.m., about half of the customers had power restored. We Energies said as soon as it gets the OK from fire officials, it will restore the rest.

Ben Fountain - BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY BURN AGAIN
Thursday, October 4, 2018 - 7:00pm
2421 Bissonnet Street
Houston, TX 77005
In a sweeping work of reportage set over the course of 2016, New York Times bestselling author Ben Fountain recounts a surreal year of politics and an exploration of the third American existential crisis.
Twice before in its history, the United States has been faced with a crisis so severe it was forced to reinvent itself in order to survive: first, the struggle over slavery, culminating in the Civil War, and the second, the Great Depression, which led to President Roosevelt's New Deal and the establishment of America as a social-democratic state. In a sequence of essays that excavate the past while laying bare the political upheaval of 2016, Ben Fountain argues that the United States may be facing a third existential crisis, one that will require a "burning" of the old order as America attempts to remake itself.
Beautiful Country Burn Again narrates a shocking year in American politics, moving from the early days of the Iowa Caucus to the crystalizing moments of the Democratic and Republican national conventions, and culminating in the aftershocks of the weeks following election night. Along the way, Fountain probes deeply into history, illuminating the forces and watershed moments of the past that mirror and precipitated the present, from the hollowed-out notion of the American Dream, to Richard Nixon's southern strategy, to our weaponized new conception of American exceptionalism, to the cult of celebrity that gave rise to Donald Trump.
In an urgent and deeply incisive voice, Ben Fountain has fused history and the present day to paint a startling portrait of the state of our nation. Beautiful Country Burn Again is a searing indictment of how we came to this point, and where we may be headed.

text: The yearly UC Counselor conferences are underway and the Scout Team finds themselves in sunny Irvine. With a low fog hanging over the marsh next door, we pulled into the UC Irvine campus and prepared ourselves for the excitement of meeting counselors from across Southern California. As you can see, our table was ready and set for the action! Our favorite moments were when counselors said "I've never heard of Scout, tell me more!" We look forward to helping more schools across Southern California achieve with Scout.

The Golden Knights came close to knotting things up with the Blues late, but they ultimately took a loss, 2-1, to end their eight-game winning streak. It was bound to come to an end sooner or later, and I'm just glad we were able to cash in on their loss. The Golden Knights get a quick turnaround, as they leave St. Louis and head to Chicago for a date with the Blackhawks. Vegas earned a 4-2 win over the Hawks in their first ever meeting.
The Blackhawks fell victim to the Vegas Flu, and the Golden Knights were able to take care of the rest. The Knights won't have that benefit tonight, and they just got finished with a close contest against the Blues last night. However, they won't have to deal with Corey Crawford, as he will be sidelined yet again for this matchup. Filling in for Crawford will be Jeff Glass, who is a 32-year-old rookie. It took him a while to reach the NHL, but he's been a competent enough replacement for Crawford. He spent 2009-2016 playing in the KHL.
Glass is holding it down better than Anton Forsberg was. Forsberg is now a backup to Glass, which can't feel the best. Glass was a 3rd selection by the Ottawa Senators in 2004. He waited until 2017 to make his first start in the NHL, a lengthy wait for a lifer in the minor leagues. Even if he doesn't stick around as Crawford's backup, it's been an experience to be a starting goaltender in the biggest stage in hockey. The way Forsberg played, I don't think the Blackhawks are going to be too quick to go back to him, as long as Glass keeps it together. Glass has a 2.98 GAA in three games, which could be better, but they don't have many options right now. Forsberg holds a 3.33 GAA, so pick your poison. Head below for our free Golden Knights vs. Blackhawks pick.
Vegas Golden Knights vs. Chicago Blackhawks Pick
On a back-to-back, I would not be surprised if we see Malcolm Subban tonight. Nothing has been confirmed as I write this, but Subban could get the nod over Fleury on Friday night. The Blackhawks can't expect to get outstanding goaltending from Glass, so this game might come down to the Chicago offence. Overall this season the Hawks have scored 3 goals per game, and in their last ten games they've averaged 3 per game. Since Crawford went down, the Blackhawks have allowed 3.6 goals per game. The offence didn't do anything for the Golden Knights last night, but they should find goals against Jeff Glass on Friday night.
Despite the loss last night, the Golden Knights have won eight of their last nine games. It's been an impressive showing on both ends of the ice, with 3.3 goal scored per game and 1.6 allowed in their last ten games. I can see the Golden Knights being a little tired after competing with a physical Blues team last night. However, the thought of Glass getting hit hard wouldn't surprise me. The Blackhawks have shown no concept of keeping the puck out of their own net without Corey Crawford. Glass is a nice story and all, but at the end of the day, the Blackhawks will not be able to get by on him for very long. Scott Darling would have been awfully nice to have right now. The Hawks have gone 4-0 to the OVER in their last four, all without Crawford between the pipes. I'd take a look at the OVER at the United Center on Friday night. I hope you all have a great weekend!

For Christmas one year, when I was around 10 years old or so, I received a massive book on the National Gallery of Art here in DC. I count it as one of the seminal reference works that got me started on learning about Western art, as it features about 1,000 works from the NGA collection along with accompanying essays and analysis from critics, historians, and technical experts, as well as copious notes and bibliographical materials. Among the artists surveyed was Giovanni Battista Moroni (1525-1578), who at the time was characterized as a mid-level painter with some skill in portraiture. There are three Moroni portraits in the collection of the NGA, and even at a young age, I was always drawn to these images, because I thought them far better works than the commentators appeared to suggest in the text.
With that in mind, I was very pleased to read just recently that the Frick in New York will be mounting a show early next year celebrating Moroni's portraiture, which will be the first major exhibition of the artist's work ever held in this country.
One of Moroni's most famous portraits, which will be in the Frick show, is a late work known as "The Tailor" (c. 1570-1575), from the National Gallery in London. It depicts an unknown man at work cutting a garment on a table, who has paused and is looking out at the viewer. It is a very direct, deceptively simple image, which because of its simplicity can make it easy to overlook some of the wonderful detail in the piece. Notice for example the carefully observed details of the sheen on the metal belt buckles, and the tiny bit of warm reflection off of the gold signet ring which the man is wearing on the pinkie of his right hand, that contrasts with the cool reflection off the curve of the handle of the steel scissors just next to it. [N.B. I must say, Brits, the painting looks like it could do with a good clean.]
The sitters in Moroni's paintings are often dignified, stylish individuals, but while their attire may seem somewhat outlandish to us today, there is nevertheless something about the way in which Moroni paints them that seems to make them exist out of time, in a way that few of the artist's contemporaries were able to accomplish. Take a look at his portrait of Prospero Alessandri from 1560 for example, which is in the princely collections of Liechtenstein. Yes, that outfit is rather something, but if you focus on the face and the relaxed pose, rather than the garments – which, admittedly, are beautifully represented by the artist – he would not look out of place if you ran into him at your local microbrew pub:
Similarly, look at the intense, sunburnt, battle-weary face of Gabriel de la Cueva y Girón, later the 4th Duke of Alburquerque, one of the Grandees of Spain. This was a man who had spent a great deal of time in the saddle and on the battlefront with his troops, and as a younger son never expected to end up with what we might call a "desk job". Yet within three years of Moroni painting this picture the sitter's brother, the 3rd Duke, had died without heirs, and de la Cueva inherited the Dukedom, as well as being made governor of Milan. The Spanish inscription on the plinth next to him is a couplet which (roughly) translates, "Here I am without fear, and of death I do not dread." I doubt the Lombards dared to complain to him very often about the Spanish occupation.
Then there is the portrait usually called "The Man in Pink", but more properly, it is Moroni's portrait of Giovanni Gerolamo Grumelli, painted about the same time as the preceding two portraits. Here we see an aristocratic Lombard dandy in full plumage, ready to mingle with the other dandies at the Spanish court in Milan. Grumelli was a well-liked and successful lawyer from an important family in Bergamo, who became a government official and professional archivist. He married three times (he was widowed twice), fathered many children, and was a close friend and advisor to St. Charles Borromeo about how to implement the reforms of the Council of Trent. In the past, pink was considered the preferred color for boys in the same way that blue is now, but the added twist here is that the Grumelli family crest bore a piece of pink coral on it, meaning that pink was not just a fashionable color for them, but a heraldic one as well.
Despite the skill demonstrated in these portraits, Moroni was not particularly good at straight-on religious paintings. However, he was adept at creating an updated version of what had been a traditional Christian artistic concept from the Byzantine and Romanesque through the Gothic and mid-Renaissance: the image of a donor, i.e. patron, depicted in prayer alongside saints or in Biblical scenes that had significance to that patron. This was a type of art that gradually died out beginning around Moroni's time, when we begin to see fewer and fewer images of a patron alongside, say, the Nativity or surrounded by saints, and in some ways Moroni's work is a kind of last gasp of that art form.
For example, in Moroni's "A Gentleman in Adoration before the Madonna" (c. 1560) here in the National Gallery, which was the first piece of his that really caught my attention as a child, we see a man in stylish 16th-century attire praying before the Virgin Mary and Christ Child. The picture is quiet and still, while the flesh tones are warm and real. Similarly, in Moroni's "A Gentleman in Adoration before the Baptism of Christ" (c.1555-60), in a private collection, a more somberly dressed young man is shown witnessing Jesus' baptism in the Jordan from behind some classical ruins:
As an aside, I have to say that for many reasons, The Frick has become my favorite museum in New York, hands down. While not as vast a collection as that at The Met just up the street, both the permanent collection and the special exhibitions at the museum, the former 5th Avenue mansion of financier Henry Clay Frick, have never failed to please, educate, and inspire every time I visit. Its curatorial staff has taste and style, and doesn't dumb down its shows in the way that The Met and many other major museums have done in recent years, in an effort to try to attract more visitors. On my most recent visit, to review "Jacob and His Twelve Sons", there were certainly plenty of visitors, but not such a crushing throng as to be unable to sit and quietly look at and think about the art on display. And while there seems to be a continuing see-saw of conflict between the museum's desire to expand and the NIMBYism of its neighbors, hopefully the ability to show not only more of the works in its permanent collection but also to host larger exhibitions, lectures, and other events, will soon come to fruition.
"Moroni: The Riches of Renaissance Portraiture" will open at The Frick on February 21st of next year and run through June 2nd: I can guarantee you that you will read my review of it somewhere.
