By Haim Halperim
This is an interesting perception into many of the most important thinking of the commercial revolution in Israel.
Technological revolution, fast industrialization and better degrees of productivity all drew progressively more humans from the rural workforce and new ideas were had to wrestle this critical lack of labour.
At the time this publication used to be first released, Professor Halperim's had somthing new and unique to supply. He argued that agriculture might be mixed with with out undermining that age-old social asset, the village neighborhood, and produce it into line with altering conditions.
As he expected the advance of components comprising a ranking or extra of villages, ranging round non-agriculture has been preserved, and rural society has endured to exist even though it has assumed diversified types. The identify proposed through the writer for this new formation is Agrindus, because it expresses the mixing of AGRiculture and INDUStries.

M&G is offering a new global communications and media fund as part of a new range of specialist global funds.
The fund, due for launch in February, will be the second in the new range following last year's global technology fund launch. It will concentrate on companies involved with or benefiting from the creation and delivery of entertainment, information and education.
The fund will be managed by former JP Morgan media analyst Aled Smith, who is set to join the firm next month.
Head of global specialist range Greg Kerr says: "The demand for content such as information, entertainment and education, both by individuals and global communities, is increasing at an exponential rate. So too is the demand for faster and more innovative mediums to carry this content to the end user. M&G believes those companies who are able to satisfy this demand for intellectual capital, and are leading this revolution, present an exciting new investment opportunity for retail investors.
"This new fund cuts across the telecoms and media sectors, providing exposure to companies at the cutting edge of the content and delivery revolution. These are the companies that will enable individuals to receive information, education or entertainment."

Snowdrop: Episode 28
Show Title: Snowdrop
Country: Ukraine
Channel: Zee Zindagi
Timings: Monday to Saturday 9 pm
Written Update: Episode 28
Tamara receives the agenda for the next shareholders meeting at Pan Cosmetics and wonders what Polina is up to this time. She is surprised to see Polina visit her and she bluntly asks Polina her plans for Igor. Polina then hands her the CD containing the CCTV footage and tells her to have a look at it as it has evidence against Ira who tried to frame Nadya for spying on Pan Cosmetics. Tamara refuses to believe her claim and Polina tells her that she will forget the matter if Tamara supports Oleg in the company meeting.
Oleg looks worried as he recalls his meeting with Nadya's lawyer where his disc turned out to be empty. He wonders if he accidently deleted the video and frets over being unable to help Nadya.
Nadya is helping load sacks when Xena scolds her for doing so and tells her to just pretend to work while she will do her work instead. Nadya has a dizzy spell and Xena and other inmates keep her from collapsing. Veera gives Nadya a bottle of vitamins and asks her to take better care of herself.
Igor announces that he has managed to fulfil his promise of recording a 10% rise in the company profits and has launched a new concealer but he is rudely interrupted by a director who says that the concealer has nothing to do with the profits and that they have lost thousands of shareholders because of his scandals. He says the company's share prices have risen only because of their alliance with the French company which was because of Oleg. The other director chimes in that their shareholders are losing money and the company is on the brink of bankruptcy.
The shareholders then vote for Oleg's and Igor's plan in which Oleg wins with 60% votes in his favour. Igor respectfully accepts the decision and steps down from the position of General Manager of Pan Cosmetics.
Nadya receives a letter from 'Ham' expressing his happiness about having his dream come true and that he doesn't even know if it really is his own dream as it is just something he has been told about since childhood and she cannot help smiling to herself. He adds that he is unable to understand if he has actually won or lost.
Nadya writes back to 'Ham' saying that in order to understand his feelings he should remember his moments of happiness as it will help him understand what he really wants. She adds that she has done the same thing in jail and has asked herself what she wants and if she will really be happy if her enemies lost.
In a restaurant, Oleg sees a happy couple and thinks about the thing he wants the most in life and he concludes that he wants love in life. He wishes to never be lonely and that he wants someone to miss him everyday. (Aww….. Oleg you melt my heart so easily. You are such an endearing character.)
Veera informs Nadya of having a male visitor and Xena teases her that maybe it is her mystery writer 'Ham'. Nadya is excited and tidies up for the meeting but her excitement dies the moment she sees Boris in front of her. Boris informs her about Igor's dismissal from General Manager's position and chaffs that Igor is a worthless guy who has ruined his life himself. He adds that she can enjoy her stay in the prison, as the moment she leaves she will have death waiting for her.
Ira packs Igor's bag and is leaving the house when Polina asks her about Igor. Ira tells her that she shouldn't be concerned about Igor and that she should focus only on Oleg. She says that Igor has her full support and that he will soon return to claim his home and his company. Polina mocks Ira's idea of a war and she says that the more she knows her the more she surprises her.
Tamara shows Nicolai the CD and asks him if he is sure that Ira was involved in framing Nadya and he affirms her fears. She says that Polina promised to not tattle about this but isn't sure for how long she will remain quiet as Polina will now blackmail her each time she needs something from her. Nicolai tells her that he will speak to Polina about this.
Nicolai meets Polina and thanks her for not telling anyone about the CD. She tells him that it is very hard for her to keep it to herself as it very likely that Ira must have killed Rita and pushed the blame on Nadya's head. Polina says she feels churned between the desire for justice for Rita and Nicolai's career as a new Supreme court judge. She tells him that when she last spoke to Ira she was very rude to her and asks him to speak to Ira about it.
Nicolai recalls Anatoli blame Polina for ruining everything in his last moments and he wonders why he said so. He then picks his phones and dials Kireev's number. He meets Kireev in a restaurant and tells him to find Igor's biological mother named Ana Panin and find out who benefitted the most from her disappearance.
At Igor's home, he is heavily drunk when Ira comes in. He sees Nadya instead of Ira and expresses his regret over failing her and his father before passing out on Ira's shoulders. Ira thinks to herself that she will help him gain everything back and that he will soon forget everything about Nadya. (Yeah…he better forget her because she is better suited for Oleg.)
Ira tells Tamara that she plans to help Igor reclaim his position with Pan Cosmetics and that she will start with publishing a positive report about Igor and her happy family. This will create a positive image of Igor in the minds of people. Tamara reluctantly agrees to share the journalist's number with her.
Ira writes to Oleg about the drama club in the prison and says that she misses her mom and Olya terribly and wishes to see them.
Oleg donates money for prisoner's welfare and the head Sensenich offers to show him around when he catches a glimpse of Nadya working from the window. (This guy!! He makes me blush :D)
Polina cheerfully welcomes Oleg home and informs him of his meeting with a top-shot banker but he cuts her short saying that he doesn't want to lead Pan Cosmetics and wishes to give it all back to Igor. He tells her that he wants to make a name for himself and does not want to do it this way. Polina fumes over his decision and he walks away unperturbed by her reaction. On his way to his room, he picks a book from a box of books Ira had cleaned from Igor's room to be given away.
Oleg discovers that the book was gifted to Igor by Nadya and he is glad to know that Nadya and he share the same taste in books. He concludes that their love for books points out to the special connection they share.
Oleg tells the company directors that he has been auditing the company's work for the past few months and he has come to the conclusion that Igor is a good leader for the company. He hands them the reports that show Igor's work for the company. He tells them that he wants Igor back with the company but the directors look unhappy and leave without considering his suggestion.
At the prison, Xena sings a song at the prison event. Nadya goes next and reads a passage from her favourite book The Holiday, Which Is Always With You by Ernest Hemingway.

Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131
Description of problem:
The initialization order of network interfaces at boot time appears to be
determined by the alfabetical order of the device nicknames. This goes wrong if
you have an for example an xDSL device with a nickname < eth. In that case the
init script will try to start the xDSL device before the underlying ethernet
The ifcfg-<xDSL-device> has an 'ETH=' entry but it does not appear to be used by
the init scripts.
Unfortunately it's not possible to work around the issue by giving the xDSL
device another nick name: it must be equal to the Access Concentrator name
because PPP will lookup the AC name als 'server' value in /etc/ppp/chap-secrets
and redhat-config-network will put the nickname in that field. The 'ACNAME'
paramter in ifcfg-<xDSL-device> appears to be unused.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an xDSL device with nickname 'abc', with onboot=yes and ethernet
device eth0
2. reboot machine
Actual Results: The xDSL device will fail to start up. On my machine,
subsequently the ethernet device will fail to start up as well, complaining
about not being able to load module 'tulip' (the ethernet device is a tulip
chipset based card)
Expected Results: It should have started the ethernet device first and then the
xDSL device
Additional info:
This problem may be the sum of several bugs: ideally the nickname can be choosen
freely instead of being equal the the AC name.
Changed in 7.31-1; anything with TYPE=xDSL set will be brought up later.

Recently, the well known head of the CTRMA (the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority), Mike Heiligenstein participated in a large scale transportation forum. The forum was constructed as a Q & A with the first question for the former Round Rock City council member and county commissioner being largely confined to the future fate of toll roads in Texas at large.
More specifically, the questioner notes that State Highway 130 has been through a two fold credit downsizing due to low traffic and wonders why so few Texans are driving on 130?
Mike Heiligenstein notes that the case of state highway 130 is a very peculiar one and that the first and main thing to understand is that the situation is nearly insurmountable within the expected timeframes (usually somewhere in the ballpark of 20 years or so).
The reason for this is that interstate 35 runs through geographically vexing areas such as the Colorado River which makes building extra lanes a utter impossibility. Coupled with the geographic challenges is the human element – very, very few cities wish to allow large lanes (whether vertically or horizontally) to be built in or through their districts.

Last, but certainly not least, the vast majority of traffic which many of the major areas in Texas, such as Austin and San Antonio, receive is local or regional traffic, not out of state. What this means is that even if new and more versatile lanes were built there still would not be much improvement due to the fact that the behavioral patterns of the drivers would still be the same.
What really needs to change, according to Mr. Heiligenstein is, not just the modality of the roads nor the lane capacity but also the travel behavior itself which can be modified through certain built in incentives.
Mr. Buffett was right when he said that many common costly funds in the market shortchange investors. Firms should offer simple, low-cost investments for customers to buy and hold for the long term. Mr. Buffett's bottom-up investing approach of meticulously scrutinizing companies and growing a steady portfolio has worked over the decades. In his latest yearly shareholder communication, Buffett highlights sound wisdom from his long-term investing.
Here's Tim's modest perspective on the same.
Too many investment funds offer low-quality returns on invested capital because of extreme trading and bloated management fees. In this regard, customers should shy away from fancy product labels. The industry's active vs. passive argument does not serve shareholders interests. The risk factors of index investments are purely speculative. Experienced hedge fund managers don't dwell on the active or passive aspect. It's about producing quality long-term capital returns. You can never go wrong with low-cost investments that offer future higher yields.
Index funds deliver significant returns, but they do not cushion investors against losing markets. They expose clients to 100 percent risk and massive losses during market recessions. But markets evolve. Low profile funds perform better than crowded ones in bad times. An essential strategy a serious investor can do is to nurture their portfolio.
Tim's Outlook on Asset Selloff in September 2015
Global stocks plummeted in the middle of investor anxiety about the slow economic development in China. A sharp decline in the Asian country's stocks and a shocking currency deflation further stoked fears that China is crumbling. Tim Amor's views on the china's unfolding woes reflect on the US successive gains in the last six years. Other countries experienced the same market bullish effect.
Tim Armour implores that The U.S. markets valuations were extended for some industries and companies. The market correction was not expected. An occasional correction is good for the markets as it eliminates pockets of surplus.
Education and work background
Tim graduated with a B.A honors in economics from Middlebury College in Vermont. He currently works at Capital group and has a total 34years of investment fund management with Capital Group.

The American Lung Association says that about 11 million people in the United States are suffering from the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is unfortunate that about 24 million people have the disease but are not aware. COPD is a progressive lung disease that gives patients hard time breathing. There are two types of COPD, which are chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Most people suffering from COPD have a combination of both types. COPD causes the following changes in airways and lungs:
The above changes cause a reduction of the amount of air flowing in and out of the lungs. It deprives the body the much oxygen required, which makes it harder for patients to breathe. COPD has no cure. However, research shows that stem cells therapy is being used to treat patients with this lung disease.
COPD and stem cell treatment
Stem cells are present in the adult lung. Stem cells in the lungs were discovered just recently; therefore, there is no stem cell treatment for COPD patients, http://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/story/33635903/copd-patients-are-saying-yes-to-stem-cells-at-the-lung-institute-in-tampa. However, researchers say that stem cell therapy is a promising option for COPD treatment research. Researchers have a vision of using stem cells to generate new and healthy lungs in patients with chronic lung disease. Some of the ways stem cells will benefit COPD patients include:

According to an article posted by PR Newswire, over 650 executives from around the globe gathered at Caesar's Palace Las Vegas Nevada on February 24th,2017 for the 11th annual Stevie Awards which also organizes other prestigious awards such as the International Business Award and the American Business Award.
Upon reading the article I discovered that Securus Technologies, a leading provider of civil and criminal justice technology solutions was awarded the Gold Stevie award for Best Customer Training Department; the article adds further illustration to the prestige of the award with a quote from Michael Gallegher President, and founder of the Stevie awards "The Stevie Awards for Sales & Customer Service continues to be among the most competitive and fastest-growing of our awards programs." Securus Technologies was also given praise in the article from judges that participated in the naming of the winners that would take home gold; the compliments ranged from the importance of the role Securus plays in society to the improvements the company accomplished in customer survey results. If we consider that there were over 2,300 nominations from different organizations and industries globally, I find being a finalist to be impressive, to say the least.
In closing, I would like to highlight the use of the word "empathy" in a quote by Danny de Hoyos, Senior Vice President of Operation at Securus Technologies, to briefly paraphrase him, he emphasized the importance of recognizing the customers needs and situations, and empathy being an integral tool in connecting with customers; I found that strategy unique, seeing as how empathy historically has a mercurial value in the world of business, perhaps other companies would do well to follow the shimmering gold course plotted by Securus Technologies.

George Soros is known for supporting the arduous responsibilities demanded by legal entities, who release thousands of unlawfully imprisoned people and is devoted to financially backing a great many students who want to complete an education, students who otherwise might have been overlooked due to their failure to finance their academic endeavors according to nytimes.com.
Mr. Soros has an powerful history of charitable humanitarian actions. Mr. Soros has offered billions, to shore up industries that were penniless, as well as individuals who were impoverished. Mr. George Soros is for the most part, devoted to supplying financial support to individuals seeking to vanquish injustice, backing equal opportunity and to protect people's freedom while challenged by prejudice. Mr. Soros is completely against the initiative marketed as the "War against Drugs".
In fact, Mr. Soros is well-known to be for the most part an advocate of beneficial marijuana use. He also compassionately provided untold millions of dollars, for the intention of supporting Hillary Clinton in her presidential run. Prior to this gamble, George endorsed $1 million to uphold President Obama's campaign for reelection. Mr. Soros is widely documented as a supporter for LGBT rights and is often seen as a protector of same-sex marriages.
A great many citizens across the world say that newly elected US President, Donald Trump is essentially a fake President and a tyrant. One such citizen who shares this mindset, is George Soros. Mr. Soros has known such evil men that rise to power, without any want to help others and creating chaotic distractions. Mr. Soros is an immigrant who arrived in America from worn torn and Nazi controlled Hungary. He is a well-respected survivor of the terrible Holocaust and has experienced personally how wicked men can control a nation and sow the seeds of their damaging lies among the common people.
George Soros and other citizens who have had industry dealings with Mr. Donald Trump, affirm that Trump had no desire to win the Presidency and was actually trying to foster global interest to his many company brands on Politico. Now that he is all of a sudden President, no one feels safe for what Trump might actually do. This is because Donald Trump himself never thinks things all the way through to their rational ending and regularly repeats his words, from a myriad of muddled thoughts.
George's terrible experiences with the past are the rousing factor for his steadfastness to lend a hand to people who rise up to injustice. Mr. Soros is closely aware of how harmful the small-minded can be from his experience in Hungary throughout the war. Mr. Soros studied the fiduciary and economic industry, which aided him in garnering his immense wealth on Investopedia.
As the newly elected US President, Trump's administration has set out to nullify the right to protect transgender students in public schools- a decision that was made during President Barrack Obama's regime. Before the rights protection bill is revoked, Betsy DeVos, the U.S. secretary of education has taken it upon herself to oppose the move. So that the directive can be fully nullified, both Justice and Education departments must come to a common understanding and sign off the directive.
The bill under discussion is comprised of the federal anti-discrimination law that states that transgender students in public schools can use locker rooms as well as lavatories of their choice. It has been noted that the guidance provided by Barrack Obama was not legally binding, but at least transgender was able to benefit from the bill. After passing of the guideline by Obama during his regime, opposition termed such a move as a federal overreach. Some even termed the move as a violation of the rights of students who do not fall in the transgender category.
Some states decided to sue the federal government over the transgender bill. Among the states were such as Texas. Since the federal government had been sued by some states, a federal judge in Texas took it upon himself to withhold the order temporarily nationwide. The Trump administration is not taking the issue lightly. The government plans to issue an order and no one yet knows what the rule entails.
Though the battle has been quite tough, Betsy DeVos has taken her stand and is defending the transgender students in the public schools. Betsy DeVos had initially opposed a draft that entailed withdrawal of protection of transgender children in public schools. Despite the strong opposition brought about by DeVos, Trump's administration still went ahead and issued guidance that entailed revoking of the protection of transgender students as outlined by the former President Barrack Obama in 2016. Betsy DeVos is devoted to opposing the move by the Trump administration since she believes that all American students have a right to protection as well as the freedom to education and a safe and conducive environment for learning. Hence, the issue of reserving the right to protection from transgender students is not a federal mandate. It is good to note that transgender students are the most immediate victims of issues such as discrimination and bullying. Due to the circumstance that surrounds transgender students, it is not an advisable move to reserve protection from such susceptible students.

Apart from fighting for the rights of transgender students in public schools, Betsy DeVos is also a philanthropist. Together with her husband Dick, they started their philanthropic foundation during the year 1989. As a philanthropist, her Christian views, as well as political views, are reflected as conservative. Her conservative nature has also been seen as in the case that she is defending the transgender students as in the case of using any toilet of choice in public schools.

Chili fans, prepare yourselves. This Friday, the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps (AFROTC) will spice things up with their fourth annual AFROTC Chili Cook Off 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Kirby Rafters. There have been around 20 chilies entered into the competition so far. People attending the event will be able to sample all the chilies in 2-oz cups and can try larger portions of the chilies they really liked.
There is a $4 fee to get into the event. There will be a raffle to win a variety of prizes, including Super One and Grandma's Restaurant gift cards, as well as UMD merchandise. The cost of the raffle tickets had yet to be determined.
While the event is in its fourth year, this is only the second time the chili madness was open to the rest of the campus. Last year was the first year that AFROTC opened up the event to faculty and staff.
"We had about 80 people show up (last year) that were not ROTC," said Cadet Lauren Novak, who helped put on the event. "We're hoping we have more people this year."
Three judges will choose the top three chilies and declare the winners. Along with all the bragging rights over the 17 lesser chilies, the winners will win a share of the various prizes available.
This year's judges are Chancellor Black; Vice Chancellor for Student Life Lisa Erwin; and Adam Clark, chief meteorologist from the Northland News Center.
All the proceeds from the event go the Sturdy Wings organization. Sturdy Wings is an organization at UMD that helps fund morale-boosting activities for cadets in the AFROTC. The organization pays for the activities through fundraising activities like the Chili Cook Off.
While some are cook off seasoned veterans, others are new to the scene.
"I'm excited to see what our new Lt. Colonel's (Karl Fischbach) chili is like," Novak said. "We haven't had him participate before; he's new to our campus."

Motherwell 2 Aberdeen 0, Scott Mullen
Hard to believe, but this will be Motherwell's fourth trip to Hampden already this season, and I don't think it will be their last. Yes, they will be without suspended captain Carl McHugh, but it's the three absentees for Aberdeen that will be felt the most.
The Fir Park club battered Aberdeen in the Betfred Cup quarter-finals, scoring some great goals too. If Derek McInnes' men don't match up to Well's midfield physicality, there will only be one winner here.
Motherwell 2 Aberdeen 1, Neil Cameron
Motherwell have been great in the cups this season and I expect them to make it two finals in the same season since 1950/51.
How about that for a bit of knowledge.
Yes, Aberdeen are a better team, but with three key players suspended, I can't see a huge difference between the two ahead of this game.
Motherwell are a canny team and I have a more than sneaky suspicion they could edge it – although penalties would not come as a surprise.
Motherwell 2-1 Aberdeen, Chris Jack
THERE may be 24 points between these two in the Premiership standings but there will be little to separate them at Hampden. The loss of Shay Logan, Graeme Shinnie and Kenny McLean leave Dons boss Derek McInnes with some big calls to make and his side may not cope with Motherwell's physical approach. The Steelmen won't be fazed by the Hampden experience and should edge it to clinch another final appearance.
Motherwell 2 Aberdeen 1, Nick Rodger
This could be a tight old tussle which could even go the full distance of extra-time, penalties, rock, paper, scissors etc etc. With plenty of key players missing Aberdeen may appear vulnerable. Then again, at least it means Derek McInnes won't can over-think things on the tactical front which sometimes appears to be his downfall on these big occasions. With the top six now off in the distance, the determination to keep the impetus going in the last few weeks of the season may just give Motherwell the edge. But what do they say about predictions? A fool's errand …
Motherwell 2 Aberdeen 0, Graeme McGarry
In normal circumstances, Aberdeen may be expected to progress, but you can't underestimate the absence of Graeme Shinnie, Kenny McLean and Shay Logan for Derek McInnes's side.
Motherwell are also missing captain Carl McHugh, but I just fancy that the missing personnel for Aberdeen will be too much for then to cope with.
I expect Allan Campbell to shine, and Motherwell to win.
Motherwell 2 Aberdeen 1, Alison McConnell
Aberdeen may have a point to prove going into this game given their recent reputation of choking on the big occasion.
However, the loss of key players will be hugely significant for them. And while there is very little between the two teams I think Motherwell will fancy their chances in this one.
The Fir Park side are no strangers to Hampden of late having taken their place for the League Cup final after seeing Rangers off at the semi-final stage.
I have a feeling that it will be a rerun of that fixture in May in the Scottish Cup final. My money is on Motherwell and Celtic to progress this weekend.

I love, love men, not males in the canine species, but the human form.
My guess is that you're asking why.
As a female miniature long-haired dachshund, I like to be the center of attention.
Girl attention from my BFF Shelley and her friends and mother is nice and all, and I do enjoy getting petted, but male attention lets me know that I've still got it. What I mean is that I can stop traffic (well, foot traffic anyway, due to my close proximity to the ground) and hear humans say, "Isn't she ___" (fill in with cute, pretty, beautiful and darling).
When men say this stuff, I know that I'm getting more attention than my BFF. I love that sometimes men look at me before they look at her. And when Shelley is dating somebody, I kiss him before she can.
This is my way of claiming my rights to be top dog, while reinstating my girl power.
Plus, I'm just a bit boy crazy.
I can't actually be with boy dogs because, well, you know. But I can kiss male humans and wiggle my tail, showing off how cute I am. And they can kiss me back on the top of the head, letting me know that I'm wonderful and the best ever.
So, if you think I'm cute, hit Like. I actually think there should be a Cute button, so just pretend there's one.

One of my first aha! moments as a brand manager came years ago, by way of a book by Seth Godin called Purple Cow. That little book — still Godin's best, in my opinion — hammered home a basic but essential theme for marketers: To be successful, businesses and their brands need to stand out among the competition.
I think about Godin's book and its core lesson from time to time. I thought about it again recently as I was thumbing through a certain magazine's annual college rankings edition. The pages of this publication were stuffed with ads from colleges and universities hoping to reach the students who read these rankings.
Unfortunately for these institutions, none of them stood out to me. (Disclaimer: I am not the target audience, so take my opinion for what it's worth.) As my eyes skimmed over the ads, page after page, I was struck by how non-distinctive and unoriginal they were. The photos, the ad copy, the headlines — all were interchangeable, with the exception of the institution's name, logo and school-branded apparel the ad models were wearing.
There was not a purple cow in the bunch.
Check out this list of phrases (taglines, mostly) from some of the ads in this publication. Can you tell which college or university is making which claim?
- A place where you can make a difference
- Our graduates are ready to lead
- The quality of a private campus with the affordability of a public university
- Transforming lives. Inspiring excellence.
- Transforming Lives. Inspiring Greatness.
- See possibility
- Where opportunity meets excellence
- Make the choice that will change your life
- Find your passion. Build your future.
Moo. Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo.
Maybe it's time we revisit Godin's purple cow concept. Here's the uptake, from the FastCompany article Godin wrote to help promote the book.
Cows, after you've seen them for a while, are boring. They may be well-bred cows, Six Sigma cows, cows lit by a beautiful light, but they are still boring. A Purple Cow, though: Now, that would really stand out. The essence of the Purple Cow — the reason it would shine among a crowd of perfectly competent, even undeniably excellent cows — is that it would be remarkable. Something remarkable is worth talking about, worth paying attention to. Boring stuff quickly becomes invisible.
Granted, it's tough to stand out among the thousands of colleges and universities in the U.S. alone. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
Is there a purple cow at your institution? If so, bring it out of hiding and into plain view, and let people start talking about it.

im so tired, my tears cannot even come out
shitty appraisal, no commission, being ranted at, i'm at that stage where i've had enough. sitting at the mrt, suddenly recalling what my HR lecturer said – you'd know when to leave your job when you find yourself in the morning at the mirror with shaky hands as you apply your lipstick. how we giggled at that. but with the palpitations, i can totally see the logic behind this.
spoke to d today and felt comforted – i suppose she might be trying to make me feel better because she needs a favour as well – but i suppose there are truths behind what she said.
i dont tink ive been so unhappy in a long time.. im really trying to stay positive and think forward but its really getting harder and harder. I dont know how to cope, its even hard for me to think of what snacks to buy to cheer myself up. and i feel like i need to take atarax every night in order to sleep throgh the night.
all those phrases i keep telling others, the night is darkest before dawn, keep the faith, god will make a way, he wont give you something you couldnt bear. i have to say it over and over to remind myself of it.
may i have the resilience to see it through til day time once more.

Past Due: Radio 099 – Baby Step Blasphemy & Improvisational Finance
Send me your feedback or leave me a voice mail: (919) 374-0501.
This week I put out a video blog entitled "The Dark Side of Dave Ramsey's Baby Steps." The feedback was exactly what I wanted! Some were about to round up the town's people, pitchforks, and torches. Others said I was right on the money.
This show is a response. The Baby Steps are an awesome template for reaching financial goals, but you MUST be able to think independently for yourself and determine the best method for you. I shared an example of how improvising on the Baby Steps actually got a client out of debt faster.
Barney in Georgia commented that according to the Baby Steps he shouldn't have purchased a rental property that is a cash flow gold mine.
Today's Mentionables:
Episode 88 – Derek's Story – learn more about what Elisa and I did to become debt free
The Financial Freedom Steps – Get the template for yourself (and don't be afraid to improvise…)

Just a quick post today to reflect on all that's going on. I must say, it's a good time for old school D&D! We got Gygax Magazine releasing this week, we got Wizards of the Coast re-releasing their PDFs of which the best selling are the classics, and badge registration starts for Gencon Indy 2013 on Sunday. I expect this year will be a banner year for the old school crowd at Gencon what with the new magazine and D&D's 180 toward revisiting classic D&D products. Be it PDFs or reprints of classic hardbacks or creating a new edition that harkens back (or tries) to the earlier versions of D&D, I haven't been this jazzed about D&D news since Pathfinder first came out.
Beyond all this, it's full steam ahead on Greyhawk community material as usual. And who knows? Maybe our fanbase will once again have a day in the sun someday soon.

- Renaissance Texts, Medieval Subjectivities: Rethinking Petrarchan Desire from Wyatt to Shakespeare by Danila Sokolov
Danila Sokolov argues that early modern texts are indebted to 'medieval structures of discourse and selfhood' (p. 5). His study rereads Renaissance Petrarchism as English medievalism. Sokolov begins by examining the notion of meed as reward, payment, and gift to reconceptualize Petrarchan desire in the sonnets of Thomas Wyatt, Edmund Spenser, Barnabe Barnes, andE. C.'s Emaricdulfe (1595). He challenges Wyatt scholarship by not reading his sonnets as a reflection of Henry VIII's court. In 'What Vaileth Trouth?', Sokolov unpacks meed as the male Lover's unrelenting generosity when confronted by unrequited love. In the sonnet, Sokolov notes that pain begins as a metonym for rewarding work, to end up becoming a reflection of the Lady's cruelty.
In Spenser's economic, erotic, poetic, and religious ambitions, Sokolov finds meed as patronage and spiritual fulfilment, whereas for E. C., meed becomes the male Lover's divine servitude to his Lady as salvation. In Barnabe Barnes's work, Sokolov discovers meed as the male Lover's unashamed desire for economic and sexual gain.
Chapter 2 analyses Geoffrey Chaucer's notion of the melancholic self in Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey and Sir Philip Sidney. Following an impressive overview, Sokolov too readily conflates the early modern notion of melancholy and lovesickness. By confining early modern melancholy to the beginning of a single chapter, Sokolov simplifies a complex medical and philosophical [End Page 257] condition. It may have been more appropriate to focus on Chaucer's notion of melancholy, rather than delving into early modern medical treatises.
In order to construct a challenging melancholic identity, Surrey's poetic Lover adopts an anti-Petrarchan stance by modifying Petrarchan language. With Sidney's Astrophil and Stella, Astrophil's Chaucerian melancholy fragments his identity. Astrophil's theatrical transformation from a tragic to a comic identity is usually considered a melancholic characteristic associated with English Petrarchism, though Sokolov argues that Astrophil's melancholy is based on its medieval roots.
Sokolov reads the casket sonnets by Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, as opposing marriage. In the sonnets, the marriage between Mary and the Earl of Bothwell is consummated as rape. Sokolov argues that the pleasure and pain of Petrarchism are collapsed by sexual violence. The medieval influence in the casket sonnets is traced to The Kingis Quair, a Chaucerian prison poem dated 1420–1430. The poem, thought to be written by the fifteenth-century James I, passionately depicts his marriage to the English princess Joan Beaufort. Sokolov unpacks in these texts sovereign marriage as forging political and erotic identities.
In Chapter 4, Sokolov tackles the legal system in Samuel Daniel's Delia and Michael Drayton's Idea. Rather than reflecting Elizabethan legal practices, he argues the sonnet sequences contain 'recognizable permutations' (p. 177) of the laws of love in medieval poetry. In Daniel's Delia, the Lover's failure to act in love is rooted in erotic legality and the common law. These legal aspects are tracked by Sokolov to medieval courtly love. Drayton's Idea reimagines the laws of love as a murder trial with the Lady and Cupid representing the law of erotic love. Sokolov finds similar legal proceedings in John Lydgate's Complaynte of a Louers Lyfe, where the dead Lover testifies against his own murder.
Chapter 5 appears to be a reworking of Joel Fineman's Shakespeare's Perjured Eye. Sokolov acknowledges Fineman's thesis that Shakespeare's modernity is forged from medieval poetic praise. He then emphasizes the division of Shakespeare's sonnets into the young man and dark lady sonnets. The articulation of poverty, fleshly disease, and erotic desire in the young man sonnets originates from medieval begging poems, whereas in the dark lady sonnets, the lady herself causes both disease and sexual perversity. What Sokolov refers to as a 'poetics of disgust' (p. 254) is traced to Robert Henryson's The Testament of Cresseid (1494). The dark lady is found in Cresseid's...

We had been thinking of buying a boat for a while. After our first sailing experience together in Cancun, Mexico on the little Hobie Cat we were hooked. We got additional experience doing dinghy sailing lessons through the UBC Sailing Club and did the CYA Basic Cruising Course on a keelboat where we lived aboard for a week. I also took the Boating Course through the Canadian Power & Sail Squadron (Port Moody), which really helped with my coastal navigation skills and boosted up my confidence since I didn't have Steve to rely on during the course.
Steve scoured Craiglist and Yachtworld for boats that would be right for us. We didn't want too much of a fixer-upper. Since we'd never had a boat before and had a toddler and a baby on the way, we wanted to be able to just go out and sail with no major refits on the horizon. We had heard that the Catalina 27 was a good starter boat, so that narrowed the field for us. Our price range ($5,000-$10,000) also narrowed the field down to about the 1970's.
We went to see one Catalina 27 moored in Vancouver under the Burrard Bridge. It was listed for $5,000 CAD – very basic and very old. It hadn't had much updating since the day it left the manufacturer. It had been owned by a group of people, which in my limited experience at the time, led me to believe it was not well maintained. It was a bit disappointing, but we knew we had a few other options.
Steve arranged for us to go down to Bainbridge Island, just a quick ferry ride across Puget Sound from Seattle to look at another Catalina 27 (and for those who know Jamie and Behan Gifford of s/v Totem, it is their home port). When we got there, the boat was sparkling clean, and smelled like lemon scented cleaner. I was ecstatic! Little did I know, the lemon scent was covering up a smell that would plague us for the next few years. We took the boat for a sea trial and the engine was reliable and passed Steve's inspection. It had a gas engine (Atomic 4), which we now know is fairly unusual, as most marine engines are diesel (apparently). The boat was owned by an older couple who were moving back east to spend time with their children and grandchildren. They were leaving everything with the boat (e.g., dinghy, winter cover, fenders, first-aid kit, tools, etc.), which was great for us since we were just starting out. Listed at $10,500 US, it was a bit more expensive then the other boat we had looked at. However, it had a number of benefits going for it, including:
- Inboard Engine
- Dinghy w/ 4 hp outboard
- Furling Head sail vs hanks
- 3 Extra sails (the 120% Genoa was practically new)
- Marine head with holding tank vs porta-potty
- Stereo system
- Working VHF and Depth Sounder
- New Sail and Winter Covers
- Plus some of the wood trim had dry rot on the other boat. Only cosmetic as far as I could tell but a little concerning
We were thrilled to own our first sailboat. The funny thing about it was that the owners had though the boat was called Laniki, but clearly, on the stern of the boat was her name, Lanikai, named after a beautiful Hawaiian beach. We didn't know the real name of our own boat until after we bought her!
A few exciting and sleepless weeks later, we took a certified cheque down and a bunch of gear across the border, picked up some provisions and got ready to take Lanikai back up to Vancouver. We left our 2 year-old daughter with my parents for the long-weekend. We had arranged for moorage at Reed Point Marina in the Burrard Inlet close to our home in Burnaby, BC, and we estimated it would be a three-day trip. We bid my parents adieu after they helped us load up the boat and they took our daughter to the Seattle Zoo (which is a great zoo, by the way!)
Day 1
Our first day, the plan was to travel from Bainbridge Island to Port Townsend, a 37 nautical miles trek. As we motored Lanikai away from the dock and into Puget Sound, Steve looked at the rigging to figure out how to raise the sails. Apparently, this elderly couple didn't actually sail the boat, since the rigging was not set up to even raise the main halyard! We left at 10 in the morning and after Steve sorted out the rigging we were able to raise the sails. We had a good headwind and were fighting a current of about 3-4 knots. We had fun tacking back and forth up the sound, but started to get concerned that we hadn't made much headway. We had sailed for about 7 hours, and had sailed maybe 30 nm total, but had only made about 20 nm of headway. At that point we decided to drop the sails and motor the rest of the way. Steve had been watching the tides and currents and we would have a slack tide timed right for a transit through the Port Townsend Canal. We were both a bit worried about the bridge that ran across the canal that gave 58 ft of vertical clearance. We were told by the previous owner that the mast height was 42 feet, so we should have had a lot of clearance. But, since Steve and I were both newbies, we were still concerned. After we came through the canal, the color returned to our faces, and we motored into the Port Townsend Marina at about 8:30 pm. It had been a long day! Lanikai was not set up with auto-pilot, so we had been taking turns helming for 10.5 hours!
Day 2
The next day, our plan was to sail out from Admiralty Inlet into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, up Rosario Strait to Echo Bay on Sucia Island to anchor for the night. It was about a 49 nm trip. Given the difficulty we had making headway the day before, we were a little concerned about making it that far in one day. I remember making phone calls to my parents to let them know that they may have to keep our daughter for an extra day. We were also pretty scared about going out into the Strait of Juan de Fuca (aka the Strait of Wanna Puka), because it had an unlimited fetch from the Pacific and could be incredibly rough.
The day was clear and calm and the current was on our side for most of our journey. There was no wind to speak of so we motored up Rosario Strait and enjoyed the scenery. We were keeping our eyes on some strange, large boats, with a ton of people on them. It seemed like all the people were staring at us. We were a bit confused, but didn't really think anything of it and motored on. All of a sudden a US Coastguard runabout boat pulled up beside us and they passed a booklet to us on a fishing rod-type thing about whale watching rules . It turned out that we were within the 200 yard no-go zone right in the path of some whales who were swimming south down the Rosario Strait. Those boats with all the people staring at us were whale-watching tours! We were humiliated because we would never dream of putting whales in danger with our engine. We learned a good lesson, though, and now we know what whale-watching boats look like, and to steer well-clear of them.
We managed to make great way and decided to skip anchoring at Sucia Island and cross the Georgia Strait to Point Roberts. We would still be in the US so we wouldn't have to take the boat through customs until the next day. We arrived in Point Roberts that evening and enjoyed a quiet night at the Marina. Since we weren't familiar with Lanikai's ground tackle, we were both relieved that we found an open spot at the Marina for the night. We had called earlier in the day to ensure they had a spot for us before we decided to cross the Strait.
Day 3
The next day, our plan was to sail from Point Roberts, up the west coast of Richmond and Vancouver along Sturgeon Banks into English Bay to take the boat through Customs at the public dock in Coal Harbour. We looked out into the Georgia Strait from Point Roberts and saw wind and waves like we've never experienced. Steve didn't seem too concerned about it, so we ventured out into the Strait. It was pretty rough, and once we passed the Tsawassen Ferry Terminal and managed to steer clear of the ferries (I am really paranoid about the gigantic, fast-moving ferries and freighters in Vancouver!), the waves really started to pick up. We were close-hauled and had 3-4 foot waves, so it was really uncomfortable in our little, rolly boat. Steve encouraged me to take the helm to ease my anxiety. I was glad to have a hand on the tiller just to have something to hang onto! In the meantime, our head had overflowed so Steve had to go below and deal with the full head that the previous owners had left us (thank you…not!). Steve has an iron stomach compared to me…I can't imagine a worse job (neither can he, but at least he didn't make it a bigger mess to clean up!). In any case, we had to toss out the carpet that was previously on the cabin sole, even after soaking and washing it after our trip.
We rolled up to the Coal Harbour public dock around 2:30 in the afternoon. We had done our research on importing a boat into Canada from the US and knew not to call Customs until we were actually landed and secured on the dock. We had to stay on our boat until the Customs officers arrived. We were amazed that it only took 15 minutes for them to arrive. It was a sunny day so they were probably eager to go outside for a stroll. They looked through our paperwork and gave the boat a quick inspection. We had to toss out some of the produce that we'd brought up from the US and not eaten, but other than that we cleared with no hiccups. We had to pay an additional $1,100 in taxes to import Lanikai into Canada, but that was expected. We had gone slightly over our $10,000 budget for the boat and import costs, but we were happy with her. She brought us safely home and within our 3-day time frame.
We still had to make our way to our new slip at Reed Point Marina, another 1.5 hours up the Burrard Inlet, but we were happy to be home.
