Page Text: Good Governance
October 29, 2017
Daily after reading newspapers, a thought googles our minds that "is good governance so difficult?" The general landscape of administration reveals the mismanagement everywhere. However it is said that the best brains in India still opt for Civil Services and mobilize bureaucracy.
According to me, good governance is demonstrated through transparent systems and procedures, impeccable trust between employee and employer relationships, understanding accountability and deliver on time, rewards and punishments in time to the deserving. Also the corporate Governance is about maximizing shareholders value legally, ethically and ensuring fairness to every stakeholders – the customers, employees, investors, vendors etc. Good corporate Governance creates an ethical culture within the organization. Leaders with great integrity and intent are required to drive the same.
In the above statement nothing seems insurmountable which cannot be achieved. Only thing required is willingness and intent from the bottom of your heart to do it with clear conscience. I love that statement of Infosys team "A clear conscience is the softest pillow".
"Power corrupts" is the phrase apt for Indian political leadership and bureaucracy. The equation goes like this: Corruption = Absolute Power – Accountability
In Indian politics, when a politician wins election, nobody can remove him at least for five years. Hence he enjoys power without accountability. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Generally we find, most of politicians are corrupt and tainted with various charges.
In our bureaucratic set up also, bureaucrats become corrupt slowly and steadily because they also enjoy power and they also don't realize their accountability towards public.
This is because, absolute power is given to these bureaucrats and they are not answerable to the public. There is no penalty imposed on them if they do not deliver services within timelines. You will find most of them remain indifferent to public grievances in spite of the fact that they are called public servants.
Good governance leads to prosperity and bad governance leads to disasters. Corruption in UPA regime led to bad Governance that broke the very fabric of trust and transparency. Which ultimately gave them unpleasant surprises. In organizations, good governance is depicted through increasing profits, share value and market capitalization.
It is said in Buddha's time the king was not having much say in public matters. Public was empowered to discuss their local issues and come up with solutions with budgets, before the king. King then used to sanction and release the funds to local communities and in turn people used to sort out their issues themselves and were very happy with the governance.
It is said that this system lasted in most parts of India till nineteenth century till Britishers came in and they usurped the local powers and handed it over to District collectors. These collectors became the power centers and oppression of the common man started .
When we got independence we simply changed British collectors with Indian collectors but the power centers remained as it is without much accountability.
I think the time has come to put our heads together and unite to fight against misgovernance whether it is at municipal level or state level or national level. The people who are in power they should not take us for granted.
Acts like "Right to information" and "right to service", are very powerful tools in the hands of a common man, which would help him to get what he deserves.
God has given the same 24hrs to everyone
October 21, 2017
Sometimes I discuss with my children that everyone gets the same 24hrs. How would you make the best use of the same that decides the future. It reminds me about Sushma Swaraj's (minister of external affairs) recent statement that after independence, India & Pakistan in the same span of time while India created IITs, IIMs and AIIMS whereas Pakistan produced Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, Haqqani Network and Hizbul Mujahideen. In the years after the independence, one country became the world's top economy and the other ruined into ashes.
In fact it is very much related to the objectives & visions as well as time management. As they say 'time can not be managed but you have to manage according to the time". The best way to manage time is to unpack the tasks and break them down to smaller units keeping the deadlines in minds.
Also, whoever said that time is money should be grateful to the scientists who confirmed that all the Gold on earth has been the result of the collision of neutron stars million of light-years away. Recently the shock waves produced by this collision were observed by the astronomers all over the world.
It is said that time is priceless and you would never get it back. Traditionally, one day has been considered from Sunrise to Sunset. There are four Prahars during the day, and four during the night. In fact the importance of number four is very interesting. There are four Yuga (eras) namely Kreta Yuga, Treta Yuga, Dvapara Yuga & Kal Yuga. Similarly there are four seasons namely Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter. There are four Vedas namely Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda & Atharvveda. There are four directions, North, South, East & West. There are four Varnas or castes namely Brahman, Kshtriya, Vaishya, Shudra. There are also four stages of life or ashramas namely brahmacharya (student life) , grihstha (married life), vanaprastha(retired life) and sanyasa(hermitic life after renunciation). Similar to our lives, the organisations also go through four stages namely Startup, Stability, Growth and decay. So four is a significant number in our history.
There is a very famous fable written about how God distributed the age to the humans by taking age from four animals. And how these four stages of life work.
When God had created the world, he called all his creatures together to grant them their span of life, and to tell them how long they would live and what manner of life they would lead.
The first to appear before God was man. And God said to him, "You, man, shall be king of the world, walking erect upon your feet and looking up to heaven. I give you a noble countenance. The power of thought and judgment shall be yours, and the capacity of disclosing your innermost thoughts by means of speech. All that lives and moves and goes about the earth shall be under your rule, the winged birds and the creeping things shall obey you. Yours shall be all the fruits of the tree and land, and your life shall be thirty years."
Then man turned away dissatisfied and grumbling. "What is the good of living in pleasure and in might, if all the years of my life are to be thirty only?" So did man speak and grumble, especially when he heard of the years granted to other animals.
Then it was turn the donkey's turn. He stepped forward to hear what God had decreed for him.
The Creator said, "You shall work hard; you shall carry heavy burdens and be constantly beaten. You shall always be scolded and have very little rest. Your food shall be a poor one of thistles and thorns, and your life shall be fifty years."
When the donkey heard what God had decreed for him he fell upon his knees and cried, "All merciful Creator, am I indeed to lead such a miserable life, and am I to have such poor food as thistles and thorns. Am I to work so hard and carry such heavy burdens and then live on for fifty years in such misery? Have pity on me and take off twenty years."
Then man, greedy of long life, stepped forward and begged for himself these twenty years which the donkey had rejected. And the Lord granted them to him.
Then came the dog. To him the Creator said, "You shall guard the house and the property of your master. You shall cling to them as if you were afraid of losing them. You shall bark even at the shadow of the moon, and for all your trouble you shall gnaw bones and eat raw meat, and your life shall be forty years."
"All merciful Creator," cried the dog, "if my life is to be of worry and trouble, and if I am to live on bones and raw stuff, take off, I pray, twenty years."
Again man, greedy of life, stepped forward and begged the Creator to give him the twenty years rejected by the dog. And the Creator again granted his request.
Now it was the monkey's turn.
The creator said, "You shall only have the likeness of man, but not be man. You shall be stupid and childish. Your back shall be bent. You shall be an object of mockery to the children and a laughingstock of fools, and your life shall be sixty years."
When the monkey heard what was decreed for him, he fell upon his knees and said, "All merciful God, in your wisdom you have decided that I should be a man and not a man, that my back shall be bent, that I shall be a laughing stock for young and fools and I shall be stupid. Take, in mercy, thirty years off my life."
And God, the all merciful, granted his request. And again, man, whose greed can never be satisfied, stepped forward and asked also for these thirty years which the monkey had rejected. And again God gave them to him.
Then God dismissed all the animals and all his creatures, and each one went to their appointed station and to the life that has been granted to him.
And as man had asked, so has it come to pass. Man lives as a king and ruler over all creatures for the thirty years which the Lord had given to him, in joy and in happiness, without care and without trouble. Then come the years from thirty to fifty, which are the years of the donkey; they are full of hard work, heavy burdens, and little food, for man is anxious to gather and to lay up something for the years to come. It could not be otherwise, for were not these the years which he had taken over from the donkey? Then come the years from fifty to seventy, when man sits at home and guards with great trembling and fear the little that he possesses, eating little, always keeping others away lest they rob him of that which he has gathered, and barking at every on whom he suspects of wanting to take away what belongs to him. And no wonder that he behaves like that, for these are the dog's years, which man had asked for himself. And if a man lives beyond seventy, then his back gets bent, his face changes, his mind gets clouded, he becomes childish, a laughingstock for children, an amusement for the fool, and these are the years which man had taken over from the monkey. So, this is what a human life is all about and how time leaves its imprints upon our lives.
Last month, I went to Sydney on a recreational tour. I visited my relative there. I was amazed after seeing his lifestyle. He was working with one of the leading telecom company "Optus". He has a wonderful loving family with wife and two small kids. When I learnt about his daily routine, I was surprised. While living in Sydney, he spends minimum two hours daily after the office, in a radha krishna temple, where he meditates and finds solace in his life. He says that spending time with almighty, reading his stories, chanting his bhajans gives you a different "Shakti" power to think. It gives you a different level of confidence and courage as well as detachment from the useless desires.
Moreover he said that after office he may take rest on the bed or to go to the mall etc. , it is his choice but God has given the same 24hrs to everyone, it is upon us how we get the best out of it.
In the nutshell, we should have clear well defined objectives in our lives and that should be reviewed periodically to ensure we neither lose track nor time.

Regulate Emotions at Workplace
It's normal that we experience different emotions at work: frustration, anger, excitement, fear etc. But how leaders handle these emotions goes a long way towards building/spoiling a strong environment and also for motivation/discouraging the teams.
Take a scenario: A soccer team is playing in a critical game and is down by one goal. Just before half time , team gets an opportunity to tie up the score by getting a penalty kick. Best player of the team steps up to take the shot. At first, it appears perfect as ball soars to the corner of the net but instead it rebounds off the goalpost back towards the player. Player gets stunned. Head in his hands, he goes back to meet his team for their half – time meeting.
The team is upset. The coach is too. The coach's goal is to get the team over this hump, ready to return to the field feeling motivated and charged.
Now the question arise, "should he master his frustration, put on fake smile and not discuss the incident? Or should he be honest and fully express his feelings ?"
Which one of these is going to help him to meet his goal?
Here it becomes important for a leader how he regulates his emotions. "Emotional Intelligence " is the master skill among all the skills of a leader. The outcome of the team would depend upon how a leader manages his emotions at this juncture.
People generally tend to regulate emotions in two ways.
Suppression is most leaders do. They hide their feelings and pretend not to feel upset. While this is most popular strategy but it actually leads to host of negative outcomes like dissatisfaction at work and home, weak relationships, high blood pressure etc. Which is not good for healthy work environment.
Even fully expressing emotions could also have destructive consequences. For example, if the coach fully expresses his frustration, he would destroy the confidence of his players and leave the players feeling fearful & dejected.
Reappraisal or reassessing an emotional situation may be the most effective strategy in this situation. For example, the coach could remind himself that the game is not over yet. And also this is just one game of the season . There will be other opportunities for his team to shine.
Reappraisal helps to calm down Just like deep breathing. In this situation as the players are already disappointed so instead of more dejection they need encouragement. He may start the meeting acknowledging everyone's disappointment but emphasizing that outcome of this setback depends on the players determination to master this challenge and turn the game around in next 45 minutes. The results would surely be better for the coach and his team.
So emotion regulation is key competence demonstrated by successful leaders. They also have the ability to both manage and influence the emotional states of those they work with. It strengthens relationships among the teams and build a strong work environment.
The same principle of emotional intelligence applies in corporate world too. Recently Paddy Upton , a renowned mental coach of international repute suggested in one to one conversation that a good manager should act as an interface between the team and the management. He should act as a shock absorber. Passing on some of the pressure whereas absorbing the rest. Team should always be confiding with the manager.
We must take problem as a challenge rather than a threat. Appraising problem as a challenge helps people concentrate on the task at hand and build resilience at the times of stress.

Beleaguered MDs of our beleaguered Indian Banks are amazed with the way the things are unfolding for them. Arrest of MD of Bank of Maharashtra Ravinder Marathe for misusing position and granting loan to a real estate developer D. S. Kulkarni. Also impending exit of MD of ICICI Bank Chanda Kochchar for granting loan to Videocon group and owner Venu Dhoot. All this has come to the limelight when RBI and Govt have started focusing on ballooning NPAs(Non performing assets) of banks. PNB also came into the limelight when the biggest bank fraud in the history was committed by Gems & Jewelers business tycoon Nirav Modi. All these are culpable crimes because the money involved belongs to the public.
Banks loan business portfolio generally has a large share for the corporate /industrial sector and negligible for the retail sector. Corporates undertake big projects and they employ all resources to complete these projects within stipulated timelines. These projects generally are aspirational projects of the Govts which are crucial for the overall development and growth of the country. The projects get financed by these banks. But when these projects get stuck by one or the other reason like land acquisition, court litigation, failure on qualitative delivery , liquidity issues etc then sooner or later loans become NPAs. Also when the economy does not grow, the economic activity slows down and the businesses go into losses resulting in closure of businesses and hence results into NPAs.
Vijay Mallya also blamed the Govt policies for his business failure and in turn he became the willful defaulter. He had issues with the Govt concerning the licence on foreign air routes, compulsion to fly on unviable domestic routes and then reduction of fuel surcharges etc. Venu Dhoot also said in his statement that because of Demonetization and Modi's policies his business failed and the loan taken turned into Bank's NPA. Though it can be said that with demonetization, the banks were flooded with the deposits and the borrowing rates of the banks came down. However the loan takers reduced substantially. The money supply was more than demand hence the bank borrowing as well as lending rates reduced.
Jai Prakash Industries also set very high capacity expansion targets for their cement business during Bajpayee's era hoping that the GDP as well as cement industry would remain bullish for another 10-15 years. But GDP nosedived during the second term of UPA Govt and loan that the company had taken for expansions started looking like a mountain in front of the ROIs. Ultimately the poor guy had to sell out his cement business. The impact was so powerful that his other businesses like Real Estate, Hydro Power, Road projects also suffered badly and ultimately were put on sale.
NPAs of the banks were generally restructured with the corporate and new terms were set to realize the bank money earlier. But now, in order to keep our banking system healthy, the present Govt has passed IBC (Insolvency and Bankruptcy code). In this new code if a company is not repaying the loans, the creditors can go to NCLT (National Company Law Tribunal) which ultimately declare the company bankrupt and sell it off to realize the loaned money. This law would also be helpful to reduce crony capitalism. Vijay Mallya is a live example of crony capitalism wherein his relations with the politicians helped him sanctioning enormous loans from the banks. Many company's disputes (NPAs) with banks are now getting sorted out through this law. Be it Essar Steel, Bhushan Steel, Binani Cement, Electrosteels steel, Jyoti Structures, Ruchi Soya etc .
Currently, banks are not much interested in lending to corporate. Because nearly 75% defaults are from industrial sector only which are plaguing the banks with bad loans. Hence the banks are now increasing their exposure towards retail sector. But, typically when lending by banks to a specific sector rises dramatically within a short period, the quality of lending falls. Which results in defaults and bad loans. So retail lending could be the next area where the crises may loom large. But compared to the industrial loans, retail loans are easy to recover and such occurrences are nipped in the bud before they become bigger. We wish that our banks would remain healthy and tax payers money is not used in bailing out the banks for their NPAs.

Jerry James "In the Beginning"
In the Beginning
Jerry James
From Playa Dust: Collected Stories from Burning Man, collected stories by Samantha Krukowski.
1986, Burning Man #1 21 June.
It was the summer solstice and the day Burning Man was born. Larry Harvey and I were close friends. He called and asked if I was interested in building a figure, a man, to burn on the beach to mark the longest day of the year. We decided to meet that afternoon at a garage in San Francisco's Noe Valley. A friend of Larry's owned the garage and while he had an old table saw and some scrap lumber there weren't any other carpentry tools around—a dull handsaw, a motley collection of finish nails—not much natural light either. Cutting and assembling was going to be a challenge if we built the figure there. But I was a carpenter by trade and Larry was doing some landscaping so I figured we'd work it out. Larry and I became friends around 1985.
I'd come to San Francisco from Boise, Idaho in 1980 and Larry had come from Portland, Oregon a few years before. Larry was six years older than me—I was in my early thirties. We both had young sons. Larry had a good rap, and was deep into all kinds of stuff like Freud, Kohut and Conrad. I'd been reading Celine, Bukowski and playing Bob Marley and Captain Beefheart. He and I read Nostromo with friends, and hung out with Dan Richman, who introduced us and often had people over to play music, get high, get laid. When Larry and I went to the Noe Valley garage, he was reading The Golden Bough, an anthropological work that referenced the history of burning effigies. He had already attended a few solstice events on Ocean Beach that involved burning a variety of objects. So there we were, in that dim garage, talking about how to build a wooden figure with seriously limited resources. We planned to build it right then and get it to Baker Beach by sunset. Rather than aiming for a two-dimensional stick figure I went for volume.
I shaped a rib cage out of the leftover wood and made an inverted pyramid for the head. I made triangular legs and stick arms and fastened them to improvised hips. I stapled burlap inside to approximate skin and to hold kindling. The effigy ended up being about eight feet tall, primitive, but it clearly represented a human form. We loaded it onto my small pickup on its back, feet off the tailgate, its shoulders angled up on the cab. We headed for Baker Beach. It was about 18:00 when we got there, sunny, but the wind was coming up. We got the figure off of my truck and I took some photos of it leaning against a hippie school bus. Then we carried it to the north end of the beach towards the Golden Gate Bridge.
Halfway there we unexpectedly ran into Dan Richman, heading for the parking lot. We paused to say hi and kept on going. Dan was also a builder. He looked like Brando and played flamenco guitar. He had finished his day at the beach and wasn't interested in joining us for the burn. Within ten minutes we were positioned facing the rock face rising at the end of Baker Beach. We planted the effigy with its back to the Pacific. I had formed the base of the legs into sharp points so we could force it into the sand and keep it standing. It looked at us; the lighthouse at Point Bonita flashed a rhythm.
A few friends showed up, we drank beer, ate, laughed and felt the wind increase. The sun gave up and the sky became dark like the ocean. I reached as high as I could and doused the figure with a gallon of gasoline. I lit the burlap and the thing went up—we had an eight-foot fire. Some strangers came over, one with a tambourine, another with a guitar. There was chanting—"burn fire burn". The chanting seemed kind of weird to me, but it also brought a somber tone to the event. Somebody held the effigy's arm while another person took a photo. I took shots of the fire. I wish I could say I felt we had started something larger than ourselves, but I didn't. I had no thoughts about repeating the build or burn of the effigy. But Larry and I talked about it, the day after, a month later, and did decide to do it again the next year. Who knew that two years later Rob Morse, a columnist for the San Francisco Examiner, would write about three guys preparing to burn a three story tall sculpture on Baker Beach?
1987, Burning Man #2
My girlfriend Maria and I were getting past some major turmoil and were living together in a worn-out mansion on Capp Street with three roommates. It was a groovy place with a couple of fireplaces and a lot of forgotten stories. There was a deck out back that was sometimes sunny and that was framed by the adjacent buildings. The second man was built there. As the solstice approached, Larry and I began working out the design details. Larry suggested we incorporate crossed horizontal members to provide shape and volume. The backbone was made of fourby-fours as were the leg and arm bones. Two-by-twos and two-by-fours were set perpendicularly across these bones and miter cut at the ends. We finished the arms with stair stringers so they had a zig-zag profile. Larry and my roommate Sigmar decorated the figure by painting a triangular crown including yellow lightening bolts angling off its brow. This time the effigy was about 12 feet tall and the assembly was still pretty modest. It took a couple of weekends to build it. When we got the man out to Baker Beach on the solstice, it was foggy, windy and cold. About 35 friends and acquaintances were there—we had spread the word. Some people brought flowers, food and drinks. The vibe was similar to the year before—spontaneous, relaxed, not too serious, a glorified family picnic. After the fire I had a sense this might be a ritual, and that we would do it again.
1988, Burning Man #3
I've been a carpenter or contractor most of my life and I'm often struck by the 'pop' that happens when a design manifests and all of the pieces fall into place. That pop happened for me during the build of the third man. Larry wanted to make the figure and the burn bigger, to enlarge the experience. Early design conversations focused on a 30-foot tall figure. To erect and burn something of this scale on a public beach with the help of a large, unrehearsed crowd before the police stopped us was a challenge we recognized—and one that needed the help of some magic. I can't tell you why I decided to keep going, why I engaged a project that called for increasing commitment, sacrifice and risk without tangible reward. The first two burns were a lark. What was the intensification about? Looking back on the third burn, I'm very glad nobody got hurt, because the scale of the thing had definitely created a potentially dangerous situation. I had the unfortunate tendency to adopt certain friends as father figures. I did this with Larry. He read a lot, expressed ideas with confidence—I looked up to him. Admiring and trusting Larry turned out to be a weakness that would later take its toll. We built the man in a garage in the Lower Haight that I rented for the storage of my construction gear. It faced south onto an unusually wide sidewalk. The garage was a great space to work. There was a medical center across the street. Being able to work in that space was part of the reason I decided to keep working on the build of the man. I dig wood, building and collaboration. I was designing and constructing something very unusual, hanging at the shop, moving the project forward.
A few months prior to the solstice, Larry, Mike Acker and I had breakfast and then went to the garage. Mike and I were partners in Acker & James Construction by then. When we started to discuss the design of the man, Larry became surprisingly aggressive and was antagonistic towards some of Mike's suggestions. He tried to control the build much more than he had before. As Mike and I worked, he'd mostly stand, hands on hips, telling us what to do, or fiddle around over some minor detail, cussing the tools as he worked. Actually, I was accustomed to Larry wanting to have his way. If I arrived at his apartment to pick him up and he was on the phone, he'd stay on it. He'd take forever to get ready. He'd forget where he put his cigarettes or lighter or sunglasses. To be around Larry was to accommodate him.
In 1997 I had to advise him on getting a picture ID so he could fly to New York for a show on Burning Man that I produced at CBGB's. He was like a child in some ways, and that part of his personality was strongly evident in the build of the third man. The design of the third effigy was the basis for the one still in use today. And it was clear, as soon as we started, that this one was not going to be a friendly little statue. At a 30-foot scale, there was a need for true structural integrity. And it would need to fit in my 20-foot long shop while we built it. It had to be constructed in modules. We fabricated the legs, torso, body, arms and head separately, and planned on transporting them to the beach and assembling them there. The arms were hinged so that they could be raised once the figure was standing. Larry made some bamboo lanterns and copper strips that would act as wind chimes, all of which would later be located in the pelvis. Mike made a tube filled with fireworks that would be placed inside the head. We stapled burlap inside the lumber frame that would hold newspaper and soak up the kerosene that we would use to ignite it. The thing got so big we had to build parts of it on the sidewalk. Sometimes the torso or a leg would be on sawhorses, other times the whole figure was assembled across it.
That spring, as we spent every weekend for months working on the figure, we began to call it the Burning Man. It was trademarked a couple of years later. Mike and I were not informed about that huge development in the history of the project. The day of the burn we met at the garage and loaded the components of the Man onto my primer-grey '74 Dodge pickup. The torso went in the truck bed first and then we put the 20-foot long legs up on the lumber racks along with the arms. Tools, guy wire, rope, kerosene, hardware—it was quite a load. Actually, it looked like something from a gypsy caravan. Driving across the city, I was nervous that the authorities might stop us. The sky was grey and a marine layer hung over the ocean as we approached the beach. I parked on Lincoln Boulevard at a cliff above the northeast end of the Baker Beach, trying to maintain a low profile. We were closer to our burn spot than when we had parked in the parking lot in previous years, but the bad news was that we had to carry everything down a steep trail.
My anxiety spiked once we parked and started to unload. We had few volunteers to help expedite the unloading, move and set up of the figure, but any cop who happened by would have seen us. Luckily we got everything down to the beach without incident. We arranged the Man's parts on the sand and worked to fasten them together. The Man was assembled lying on his back. Some of my builder buddies arrived to help. I was the only one with any tools though, except for Mike who had a few—this was not good. More people arrived and soon there were a lot of volunteers. Despite their generosity, their help yielded mixed results. They didn't know how the thing was put together, they didn't know how it would be erected, they hadn't been at the previous burns—even my carpenter friends weren't sure what to do. People, a lot of them strangers, kept arriving. Cameras rolled. Burning Man was now a public event and all eyes were on me as I scrambled to get the man together. I stayed focused on the assembly despite my fraying nerves.
Time was going way too fast but simultaneously everything seemed to be moving in slow motion. It took a couple of hours to assemble the Man. But then, it was time. The plan was to lift him in the way a tall extension ladder is lifted at a construction site, though this was a very tall and unusually heavy "ladder". One person "foots" one end of the ladder and another lifts the opposite end while walking towards the "footer." As the Man lay flat on his back we had tied a thick rope with a pulley to his solar plexus and the rope extended out beyond his feet to a stake in the sand.
The crowd were to lift up the Man's shoulders until they could lift no higher and we were to then engage the pulley to lift him the rest of the way into the vertical position. We had incorporated plywood baffles like a snow shoes at the ends of his legs that would be anchored in holes we had dug in the sand. On our first attempt the stake holding the pulley failed and nearly impaled the crowd of volunteers—and me, too. In those moments of terror I managed to get people out of the way before the figure slammed down onto the sand. We decided to abandon the pulley after that and just use the rope, with half the crowd straining against it. We lifted the shoulders. Everybody on the rope shouted, "PULL, PULL, PULL!" and against all odds the Man went up! As I saw the figure standing I felt as though an enormous weight had dropped away. After months of work and planning the Burning Man stood looking down on us. I believe everyone there experienced a moment of real transcendence then.
At some point a reporter tried to talk to me but I was too busy for an interview and asked them to follow up later.
We paused and had a smoke. There was a guy banging a gong, some others blowing horns. We were pretty sure the authorities were going to show up, especially given we were on the US Army's Presidio Base and we hadn't asked for permission to do what we were doing. We figured if we got caught we'd explain to our fellow inmates that we had been arrested for art. It was a cold night and it was very windy. The crowd's attention was focused on the Man and the crashing waves were loud and big.
We had soaked the burlap before we raised him and then we started the fire. The wind was so strong it intensified the burn. Large chunks of newspaper and burlap, some flaming, took to the air. Eventually, a charred figure remained. I tried to finish it off by starting a campfire at the base. Someone else climbed the Man and tried to ignite the torso. That's when the cops arrived. There were four San Francisco City cops. As Larry and I tried to hide in the crowd, I realized the cops were shaking down the guy with the gong and stepped forward.
Two of the cops were talking like we'd just robbed a bank and the other two were friendly. After a few threats and negotiations they left when we promised we'd knock it down, finish burning it and go away. We released the guy wires that held it up, let it crash to the sand, sawed it into sections and made a massive bonfire that burned more quickly than expected. After that, people split. I was seriously hung over the next morning but I was so in awe of what we had accomplished I went back to the crime scene to see what was left and pick up any souvenirs. I also wanted to leave the site clean and safe. I found screws, nails, bolts and charred wood chunks and tossed them so they wouldn't find their way into bare feet. A writer from Focus magazine called soon after and I put him in touch with Larry. I was working full time and Larry was unemployed. It seemed logical to ask him to arrange the interview for us. He went on to do the interview without me, and referred to Mike Acker and me as his "cohorts". My trust in Larry was waning.
1989, Burning Man #4
Despite the increasing friction with Larry, I agreed to build the Man the next year. I built shelves at a friend's place out by City College in exchange for the use of her garage. The design was the same except I built each leg in two parts to make it easier to carry them. We also went out to Marin and collected truckloads of willows to weave into the figure. I bored holes into the lumber and pulled the willows through and over the burlap in a crossing pattern. The night of our preview party, the Man was complete and stretched across sawhorses in the garage, softly lit by cheap work lights. Someone said that Ann Hatch of the Capp Street Project, a significant arts organization, had arrived.
Burning Man was getting noticed. When we headed to the beach we had more help than ever before including members of the San Francisco Cacophony Society who monitored the police radio and were prepared to signal us when the authorities were headed our way. It was sunny and unusually warm. There were 500 people on hand. We assembled the Man as we had the year before, but when we started to raise him one of the leg joints I had constructed failed. He landed on his butt with his head slumped, resting on his chest.
There was no practical way to fix him so we tied off the guy wires and left the Man in a sitting position. I felt like he looked—dejected. We got word that the cops were on the way, so we started the fire. A lot of police arrived quickly, as did the local news. The cops milled through the crowd, not really approaching anyone. Larry and I started an interview with the reporters—Larry spoke eloquently and I turned into a deer-in-the-headlights. A couple of weeks after Burning Man '89, Larry betrayed our personal friendship in a way that broke it forever. Months after that, on Labor Day weekend, I attended a wind sculpture festival produced by Mel Lyons in the Black Rock Desert.
Mel had once shown Larry and me footage of a giant croquet game he'd performed there using wickets made of white pvc pipe and six-foot diameter rubber balls. He drove around in various vehicles knocking the balls through the wickets. The piece had been covered by Sports Illustrated and shared the spirit of many that would appear at Burning Man when it moved to the desert. When I went out I carpooled with friends and took a small cooler of deli food, a six-pack, and a sleeping bag. Fortunately, the weather was good and it was mostly hot and still for three days. The directions on the invitation to the event were spare—travel the edge of the playa for five miles, find an old tire, head to the low point of the mountain range to the east for seven miles.
We navigated that flat, cracked clay until we saw encampments. There were about 70 people and several trucks straight out of Mad Max. Being with a small group really allowed me to experience the size, the quiet, and, with the mountain ranges surrounding us, the sense of being in another world. Mel had designed human-scale chess pieces on wheels that blew about the desert floor.
1990, Burning Man #5 In 1990
I no longer wanted to participate in the build of the Man, nor the organization of its transport and installation. Dan Miller, Larry's roommate, stepped forward and built it at the shop of a sound company. I visited the build but felt completely alienated. So many people, so many faces. I was torn since I had been the architect of the Man since its conception, but I could no longer work with Larry. I did want to participate in the burn though, and I was one of many who arrived at the cliffs above the north end of Baker Beach to send pieces of the Man down. The cops arrived while I was involved in hauling the components down the cliff. Remarkably, they agreed to let us build our sculpture if we would then remove rather than burn it. But this time was different—there was blood lust.
The crowd chanted our agreement with the authorities might jeopardize the next Burning Man. Later that night the arms and head ended up in my garage, the torso and legs went to a vacant lot that someone loaned for the preview show. A few weeks later that vacant lot got gentrified and the torso and legs disappeared. In 1988 I had sought out the San Francisco Cacophony Society to ask for their help with Burning Man, having read about them in the San Francisco Bay Guardian. The Society was composed of a group of free spirits who put together events consisting of culture jamming, costuming, exploring, and pushing the cultural envelope.
Though there was no beach burn on the solstice in 1990, the Cacophony was planning a Zone Trip to Black Rock Desert on Labor Day, and that is when Burning Man was first sacrificed in the desert. I made several unsuccessful attempts to reclaim a place in the Burning Man project over the next five years. Politics held sway. I built a few more things for the event—including the main stage at Center Camp in 1996. Resigned, I attended as a tourist several times which quickly led to boredom. In 2006 I returned to help build the Temple.
2007, Burning Man #21
On 27 August 2007, Todd Freeman—a close friend and carpenter—and I were helping with the Temple build once again. We were there before the event was open to the public. That night there was a full eclipse of the moon that transformed it into something that looked like a mauve weather balloon floating 300 yards above the playa. We were really high and sitting on Todd's tailgate drinking warm tequila at 3:00. It was balmy.
A bus of ravers rolled up and paused to shake booty. There were a lot of bunny suits. We heard someone shouting "the Man's burning". It took a few minutes for us to rally but we hustled out and saw that the Man was indeed aflame. As we came to learn, Paul Addis, tortured man that he was, had set the Man on fire early in order to protest the direction that the owners of Burning Man had taken. That, as a for-profit corporation, they had compromised Burning Man values and that the event had become largely a giant rave. After being immediately apprehended, the owners of Burning Man went to some lengths to show that the damage done by Addis was of sufficient value that he be charged with nothing less than a felony. He served 13 months for his crime. Sadly, he took his own life shortly thereafter.
Over the years, when my history with Burning Man came up in conversation, people occasionally thanked me. I felt humble and proud when they did. I also felt angry that I was robbed of the opportunity of contributing further. Time and writing this essay have helped me unload this burden. I'm lucky to have met some wonderful people through the acquaintances I've made through Burning Man, including my wife. I've enjoyed and struggled through many experiences at the event with some of my best friends; I'm encouraged by some of the directions Burning Man has taken and disappointed by many others. I have now been absent from Burning Man for six years, my longest stretch by far. Regardless, having worked as a builder since 1975 I can honestly say that I have never built anything as challenging or rewarding as the Burning Man for Baker Beach in 1988.

NetEnt To "Permanently Disable" 89 Flash Games

Published on by Adam
*UPDATE* Our The Legend of Shangri-La slot demo is available to play now! With less than a month to go and first footage already released, we're delighted to say that our video review for The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays by NetEnt is live! It was always going to be a difficult task to follow in the footsteps of NetEnt's Emoji Planet casino game, with the added pressure of being followed soon-after by the widely anticipated Planet of the Apes video slot not exactly helping.
However, we can safely say that this Shangri-La slot game is a true beauty – with stunning graphics, a peaceful soundtrack and yet another addition to the Cluster Pays series.
Unlike many other NetEnt releases of late, The Legend of Shangri-La is not already available to play at a list of exclusive online casinos. Therefore, all you've got until the 21st September due date is NetEnt Casino's very own slot video review, so select the above video to learn how to play NetEnt's Shangri-La.
Before we get into The Legend of Shangri-La's special features and bonus rounds, we'll do a quick summary of the game's mechanics. As it employs the Cluster Pays function, you can expect to land winning combinations and coin wins when multiples of the same symbol land next to each other.
Although we'll always love paylines, Cluster Pays (which debuted as part of the Aloha! slot) is a fantastic way of mixing things up.
Here are a few more quickfire details:
As for the premise, we detailed in our initial preview how Shangri-La is a fictional Far East valley in James Hilton's 1933 Lost Horizon novel. NetEnt have managed to bring that story to the online casino entertainment world in style, with a wise monk providing you with rich wisdom as you go in search of prizes.
The artwork is as sharp as you've come to expect from NetEnt, while the background music and sound effects only help to paint you a picture of Shangri-La.
Let's take you through Shangri-La slot's special game features.
Symbols may randomly be substituted if at least 2 clusters (containing 4 icons minimum) of the same symbol appear. If the function comes into play, you are guaranteed at least one substitution to be added to the reels next to existing clusters to grant you better combos.
Take a look at the above Shangri-La slot video review to see an example of how this benefits the player.
If two or more clusters of between 5 and 8 symbols appear after a spin and fail to land you any coin wins, this can activate the Sticky Re-Spins feature.
The selected icons will then be stuck into place while the reels spin again, giving you an extra chance of landing a prize for your misfortune in the first place.
The Nudge Reel is a crafty little aspect, with certain partial free spins symbols being knocked back onto the reels in full. This only happens if the partial free spins symbol lands to the right of 2 other free spins icons, which will then take you to the freespins round on Shangri-La.
For further clarification, free spins on The Legend of Shangri-La will occur if 3 or more of that symbol appear either fully or partially. How many determines the number of free spins you receive.
Once this happens, you'll be transported to the top of the mountain, with the Random Substitutions feature coming into play – both positively and negatively.
Symbols will randomly be replaced after each spin to try and create those big wins, before transforming back into their original symbol.
While the free spins mountain is certainly full of potential, you need to be wary of the dragon spirit who will remove between 1 and 4 Substitution Symbols before the next spin. While he's a pesky little demon, you are guaranteed at least 2 Substitution Symbols between the spins.
A visual description of free spins on Shangri-La can be seen above.
As ever, you'll be able to play The Legend of Shangri-La slot 100% for free at NetEnt Casino on 21st September.
We always endeavour to give you this option, as we want you to be fully aware of every NetEnt slot and how it works before you start playing with real money.
Please visit our NetEnt slots and games page to play existing releases for nothing if you wish.
We'll be back shortly with more news about The Legend of Shangri-La: Cluster Pays' release, and we can't wait for this vivid casino game to enter our beloved iGaming domain!

Matanzas is very vulnerable to the effects of climate changes.Tamara Caridad Mesa González 14 mayo, 2019
The presence in the geography of Matanzas of two ecosystems as significant as the Ciénaga de Majaguillar, to the north and Zapata, to the south; the low or very low coasts, besides that all the water that is destined for the economic and social activity coming from subterranean aquifers, together with the highly productive lands that belong to the fringe known as the South Plain Havana-Matanzas, give rise to the province is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
When adding to these particularities the coexistence of the biggest tourist pole of sun and beach, with the main oil field of Cuba, the national interest of applying the actions of the State Plan, Life Task in the territories of Matanzas, Cárdenas, Varadero, Calimete, Ciénaga de Zapata and the area of the national highway.
And it is that explained by the doctor of sciences, Ángel Alberto Alfonso Martínez, director of the Environmental Unit of the CITMA in Matanzas, in those areas the three strategic objectives of Life Task (the physical protection of the population, food security) are applied and the development of tourism).
"The program of activities to be developed to achieve these ends in Matanzas territory is in line with the planning, the established priorities are followed promptly."
Of those priorities Alfonso Martínez related.
"First, all the sandy beaches that are in the northern area of the Havana-Varadero tourist corridor, say El Tenis, Buey Vaca, El Mamey, Faro de Mayo, those located in the Boca de Camarioca area; They already have their rehabilitation projects.
"Varadero, in particular has a program 2019-2020, recovery of the beach and the dune with the demolition of a group of facilities that are on the sand and assess areas of the south that can be used to move buildings vulnerable to flooding with the elevation of sea level. It also aims to act with the islets where it is planned to move part of the development that Kawama shows today and work on protection works on that southern coast. "
On the protection of the Cárdenas, Santa Marta and Boca de Camarioca settlements, due to their vulnerability to sea level rise and floods due to heavy rains and winds, Ángel highlighted the design and application of an urban program for the relocation of households.
"Work is being carried out on the relocation or relocation of houses that are located in low-lying areas. The municipal government of Cárdenas proposed the realization of a protective work for the houses that are on the eastern margin of the Boca River, homes that were very affected by Hurricane Irma.
Equally intense is the company that takes place in the south of the province.
"The whole issue of the comprehensive protection of rice development has been identified with the use of new technologies to identify the levels and periods of drought, to evaluate the saline intrusion in those lands and the issues related to the section of the national highway passing through Matanzas, because when heavy rains occur there is an interruption of circulation due to floods.
"Hydraulic Resources has worked intensively in that area to reduce that vulnerability. To this, the improvement of the Zoplillar Canal is added to the Ciénaga de Zapata, the improvements executed in the Hanábana river basin, dams, micro-dams, which will result in the reduction or elimination of floods. "
But to that national interest the Matanzas specialists of the CITMA proposed to add all the territory of the province.
"The knowledge and experiences that we have treasured in environmental matters allows us to express that the physical security of people and food security, is given throughout the province, so Tarea Vida came to extend throughout our geography and with its implementation work in adapting to climate change."

A guy called Graham Leigh who runs a self-defence and martial arts organisation has sent in a great question, which is basically, if I teach someone self-defence and then they use a skill I've taught them, which although is deemed to be reasonable in the circumstances, ends up seriously injuring their attacker, can the assailant sue me as the instructor?
Here you will find information relating to insurance for physical restraint, physical intervention and self-defence trainers on subjects such as where insurance pays out if you are negligent and whether an assailant can sue you if they get injured when you defend yourself.
Possible Fraud By A PI Trainer
Sadly today it has been brought to our attention today that an individual who is known to us and a former trainer has possibly committed fraud and I thought I'd share this with you so that you do not become a victim too. I use the word 'sadly' because this person previously took money from companies on two separate occasions on … Read more
Professional Indemnity Insurance – Does it Pay Out if You Are Negligent? [Video]
Professional Indemnity Insurance is insurance cover that covers trainers for anything that may happen outside the classroom or training hall. But it may not pay out if you give advice that is incorrect or legally flawed, yet many trainers don't realise that.
Some examples of this that I have personally come across are as follows (and you'll know this if you have been following me for a few years):

STLR Assessment Rubric
Assessment of Transformative Learning at the University of Central Oklahoma is accomplished with the STLR Rubric. Faculty and professional staff intentionally create learning activities and environments designed to expand students' perspectives about themselves and others so that they understand the benefits of developing perspectives and life skills while they are in college and afterwards as life-long learners. The trained faculty or staff supervisor uses the STLR Rubric to evaluate the student's progress in the associated Central Six Tenet(s). The assessment helps guide a standardized rating of the student's achievement towards Transformative Learning and is documented in their Transformative Learning record.
The STLR Rubric is based on VALUE rubrics created by the Association of American Colleges and Universities, where possible. Rubrics for Health & Wellness and Leadership, for which no VALUE rubrics exist, have been constructed in a similar fashion and with the same rating scale as for VALUE rubrics. The VALUE rubrics were developed by approximately 200 faculty from around the U.S., from many disciplines, and from many different institutions. Our STLR Rubric was developed by 20 UCO faculty and assessment personnel.

Detox teas that combine caffeine with diuretics can trigger the loss of water weight. Just two cups of water weighs one pound on a scale, so shedding fluid can make you look and feel lighter–even if you haven't lost an ounce of body fat. Detox teas can also trigger a laxative effect, which causes your body to eliminate waste from your GI tract, another result that can make your stomach flatter, and allow you to feel lighter, even if your lean-to-fat ratio remains exactly the same. If this quick-fix effect gives you the confidence boost and motivation you need to start eating healthier and working out–the real keys to getting healthy and lean–terrific (assuming the teas are even safe to drink–see below). Just remember: If you go back to your former less-than-stellar eating or exercise habits, or stop drinking the tea, you can gain the weight right back just as quick as you dropped it.
The Ovary belly is a female-only problem and is accompanied by saddlebags and lower stomach fat. Very disturbing, these types of belly shapes are caused by an excess of oestrogens, and it's favoured by hormonal changes that take place during menstruation and after giving birth. The Ovary belly comes with additional symptoms like thin hair, bloating, frequent acne outbreaks and headaches, heavy periods, facial hair and ovarian cysts.
The last point that she makes is that a hormonal imbalance can cause difficulties with appetite and sleep. Progesterone can calm the brain, while estrogen gives off a more exciting response. So, women who have high estrogen levels find it difficult to sleep at night, which disrupts leptin, the hormone responsible for your appetite. The more sleep deprived you are, the more hungry you may become, Attard says. To lower your estrogen levels, Livestrong recommends eating carrots. According to Natalie Ledesma, MS, RD, CSO, at the University of California, who spoke with Livestrong, carrots contain beta-carotene, which is effective in reducing the growth of estrogen receptor positive and negative.
Purchase a cleanse product that fits into your lifestyle. Many such products are available at your local health retailer. Cleansing products are kits that typically contain herbs for detoxifying the body as well as fibers to help eliminate them. Cleansing programs generally last from 7 to 30 days. Be sure to pick something gentle and stay close to a restroom while you are cleansing.
Where fat is stored in the body depends on genes, hormones, diet and exercise habits, and levels of stress. Foods and beverages containing sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, fruit juices, more than two alcoholic drinks a day, inadequate protein intake, and insufficient fiber promote the storage of visceral fat. A sedentary or inactive lifestyle, stress, and poor sleep also increase the amount of visceral fat.
You probably already know that chamomile tea can help induce sleep (there's even a brand called Sleepy Time). But science is showing that teas actually work on a hormonal level to lower our agita and bring peace and slumber. Studies have found that herbal teas like valerian and hops contain compounds that can actually reduce levels of stress hormones in our bodies, bringing on sleep — and reducing the body's ability to store fat!
The reason why consuming herbal tea may be especially beneficial if you're trying to shed the pounds is that it is a very low-calorie beverage. Besides being rich in antioxidants, herbal teas, which are made using a variety of different herbs, contain anti-obesity properties that help reduce your appetite, increase your metabolic rate and prevent the body from forming new fat cells. Here are five of the best slimming teas that can help you lose weight and melt that stubborn belly fat.

New Delhi: Most of us know that herbal teas are good for health. They are loaded with antioxidants and other properties that promote overall health and lower your risk of diseases such as cancer, heart disease, etc. Drinking tea helps boost your metabolism and detoxifies your system. Studies have found that consuming tea, particularly green tea, may improve weight loss and help fight belly fat.
The lower belly is one of those seriously frustrating body parts, and it's not even an entire body part, it's part of a body part – the lower bit of your tummy. This vexing semi-body part is the bane of anyone who's lost weight, toned up, put in the hard work, done everything right, but just can't seem to shift that lower belly bulge. Arrgh! That little belly bulge standing between you and a flat tummy. It is a tricky problem, but a fixable one. There are 3 causes of the lower belly bulge:
This is another fat burner drink which helps in weight loss. Caffeine is an alkaloid which when consumed in limits can help burn belly fat. The caffeine kicks your metabolism into high gear. Caffeine also jump-starts lipolysis, the breakdown of fat. Cocoa, coffee, kola nut and tea are ways to have caffeine. And the caffeine kicks your metabolism into high gear. It is advised to have one cup of coffee a day as excess consumption of coffee can lead to dehydration, lack of sleep and heat in the body to name a few.
Every tea has its own special weight-loss powers, but if your boat is sinking and you can only grab one package of tea before swimming to the deserted island, make it green tea. Green tea—a core component of The 7-Day Flat-Belly Tea Cleanse—is the bandit that picks the lock on your fat cells and drains them away, even when we're not making the smartest dietary choices. Chinese researchers found that green tea significantly lowers triglyceride concentrations (potentially dangerous fat found in the blood) and belly fat in subjects who eat fatty diets.

Research has shown that cucumber contains antioxidants and other compounds that may help soothe your skin from the inside out, lower blood pressure and prevent cancer.

Excess visceral fat is possibly more harmful because of its proximity to the portal vein, which carries blood from the intestinal area to the liver. Substances released by visceral fat, including free fatty acids, enter the portal vein and travel to the liver. In the liver, they help produce blood lipids, leading to an increase in metabolic disturbances and risk factors.4

Crime - Sacto 911
With a quote from Edgar Allen Poe, murder-kidnapping trial goes to jury in case of missing Yolo teens
On Halloween afternoon in Yolo County Superior Court, Deputy District Attorney Jay Linden used a timely source to explain his certainty that defendant David Froste was guilty of the kidnapping and murder of two Woodland teenagers: the writings of Gothic author Edgar Allen Poe.
As he made his closing argument, Linden projected the final line of Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart" for jurors, in which the guilt-ridden narrator admits to hiding the body of a murder victim beneath his floor.
"'Villains!' I shrieked, 'dissemble no more! I admit the deed! — tear up the planks! here, here! — It is the beating of his hideous heart!'" the projection read.
Linden argued that like Poe's character, Froste and his co-conspirators could not help but admit to their roles in the vicious murders of Elijah Moore and Enrique Rios.
Froste, 27, is accused of kidnapping and killing Moore and Rios in fall 2016 in retaliation for Moore allegedly stealing marijuana from him.
During the three-week trial, Linden presented multiple witnesses who testified that Froste, his younger brother Jonathan Froste and friend Jesus Campos, 18, admitted their part in the crimes to other friends, family and, in Campos' case, a cellmate wearing a wire.
David Froste profanely proclaimed to his mother in jail, "I have no (expletive) alibi," according to a jail recording played at trial.
Froste's brother, Jonathan Froste, 21, accepted a plea deal in exchange for testimony against his older brother. He will serve 15 years to life for second-degree murder in the slayings.
"Our perpetrators could not help but unburden themselves," Linden told jurors.
Jurors began their deliberations Wednesday afternoon to determine David Froste's fate in a case that grabbed national attention and raised controversy about how local law enforcement responded to reports from the victims' families when the boys went missing. For months, there was speculation that Moore and Rios had run away, though both of their mothers were adamant that a crime had been committed.
Linden said the Froste brothers, Campos and a fourth friend, Chandale Shannon, killed Rios and Moore as brutal payback after Moore robbed David Froste and Shannon of three ounces of marijuana in the parking lot of a Woodland Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Froste "wanted blood," Linden said.
Linden said Froste and the others forced Moore into a car in downtown Woodland on Nov. 4 and drove him to a wooded location. Linden said David Froste and Campos left to purchase supplies to bury Moore.
"Don't let him go. I want to kill him," Linden said David Froste told his gang, which called themselves "The Squad."
Moore was bludgeoned with oak branches and a log and shot in the head, prosecutors said.
Rios, a friend of Moore, was kidnapped and killed two weeks earlier. Linden said Froste was searching for Moore, and kidnapped Rios because he believed he knew Moore's location.
Rios was lured to a remote area by the Sacramento River near Knights Landing with the promise of a party and shot in the torso and in the head, prosecutors said.
Tearful mothers Lola Rios and Alicia Moore sat together in the gallery as Linden recounted the murders.
Supervising Yolo County Public Defender Martha Sequeira argued Froste is innocent, the scapegoat of authorities who dropped the ball on the initial investigation and who now want to mollify angry family members whose missing sons were "seen as runaways and problem children instead of victims of crime."
"They needed to do something. Otherwise, they'd have to stand in front of TV cameras and explain why they haven't filed charges," she said.
Sequeira also argued Froste's brother, Jonathan, and friend Shannon had motives for the murders and might have committed them without the elder Froste. Jonathan Froste had incentive to turn against his brother and talk to investigators, Sequeira said.
"Jonathan Froste is scared. He's scared because he's guilty." Sequeira said. "He was drowning. He grabbed onto a life preserver and made up a story."
Linden argued that interviews with Jonathan Froste, Campos, Shannon and their associates — along with GPS records — put David Froste at each of the scenes central to the case: Moore's robbery; the downtown storefront where Moore was kidnapped; and the remote area where Rios and Moore met their ends.
"The Rios and Moore families have waited two years for justice," Linden said.
Shannon has not yet been tried, and is currently being reviewed for mental competency. Campos, 16 at the time of the killings, will return to Yolo County Juvenile Court in January.

Zibrant managing director Fay Sharpe and Astra Zeneca global procurement leader (business travel) Caroline Strachan will be among the stars for a version of Strictly Come Dancing at next month's Institute of Travel Management annual conference.
A Strictly-style pre-conference film of the dancers being put through their paces at London's Pineapple Studios has been created, featuring:
- ITM chief executive Paul Tilstone
- Zibrant managing director and ITM board director Fay Sharpe
- Astra Zeneca global procurement leader and ITM chairman Caroline Strachan
- BP Global Travel Services global meetings manager Kerrie Henshaw Cox
- British Airways general manager UK and global corporate sales Richard Tams
- Get There director (EMEA) Jason Geall
The idea is to counteract the wider economic gloom and offer cost effective entertainment, according to ITM chief executive Paul Tilstone:
"We like to push the boundaries and once we'd thought of running our own Strictly contest, there really was no other option. It takes us out of our comfort zones, has reduced conference costs and has become a focus of attention for people at a time when everything is a little doom and gloom."
The ITM conference takes place at Liverpool ACC on 25-27 March. It will also see the trade body renamed the Institute of Travel and Meetings, to reflect a greater emphasis on the corporate events market.

Together you'll come up with ways to incorporate more movement into your day, and work on goals related to your posture, body mechanics and strength. It will give you the accountability you need to stick to your routine and maintain the health of your back.

Things Will Change Your Life
Applications for the iPhone (or, if you insist, the Droid or Blackberry) come at all price points, and in many shapes, sizes and…well…applications. Many people use the obvious ones; Facebook, Gmail etc. What many people don't know is that if you look more closely at some of these apps (let's exclude Angry Birds for the purpose of this discussion) you will find amazing time- and sanity- savers!
My favorite application, hands down, that I've installed recently is called "Things". I have two clients, a documentary and a casting project to manage. And yoga teacher training. And the mundane stuff (buying groceries, cleaning the apartment, plotting world domination…). It was too much! I thought I was going to start ripping my hair out, tracking tasks on google tasks and with all these different lists and spreadsheets! It was too much. It was clunky, I needed my projects separated but not so separated that I couldn't have them all in mind. And then I found Things! It was like a new religion in iPhone gadgetry!
Things can be downloaded on your mac and your iPhone and will sync between the two. You can use it to create tasks with due dates and separate those into projects as well as areas. When I'm sitting down to work on my documentary, I click that area and see all the projects I need to do. I see what is due imminently on top, and can easily understand my order of priorities without any further thought. When I complete a task, I click that satisfying little checkmark and the app logs all my completed tasks. I'm also able to create automatically recurring tasks; every month I need to reconcile Quickbooks for a client; that task generates with a due date automatically.
Things. Changed my life. It can change yours
