HP Must Choose Wisely When Replacing ThompsonBy Pedro Pereira | Print

Opinion: John Thompson worked hard to win the trust of channel partners fed up with the vendor. Replacing him is a big challenge.As if Hewlett-Packard didn't have enough on its hands with boardroom scandals, the company is now searching for a new channel chief. John Thompson, the highly regarded head of the vendor's North America channel operations, is leaving the post for a new job at HP.
HP, of Palo Alto, Calif., faces the significant challenge of replacing the man who had become the company's face to countless channel partners, many of which less than two years ago were ready to give up on the vendor altogether. Frustration was running high over HP's practice then of competing with its channel partners for even the smallest accounts in the most remote areas of the market.
Thompson, who was vice president and general manager of the partner organization for two years, was a huge positive force in righting the wayward vendor's channel ways. He is deservedly credited with being instrumental for his role in the major steps the company took in the past 18 months to do right by the channel.
It is no wonder that HP partners such as Jane Cage, co-owner of Heartland Technology Solutions, of Joplin, Mo., and David Tan, chief technology officer at CHIPS Computer Consulting, of Lake Success, N.Y., are quick to sing Thompson's praises.
Before Thompson took over the channel organization, partners said it was usually anyone's guess whether HP would follow up on what it promised the channel. Often it didn't. But that changed during Thompson's tenure.
Not that Thompson got a free ride. At an event of distributor Ingram Micro's, in the spring of 2005 when HP was starting to move in the right direction, reaction to a speech by Thompson about company channel plans was decidedly skeptical.
Jim McDonnell, HP's worldwide channel chief, is taking over Thompson's duties temporarily while the company finds a replacement.
Partners expressed confidence the vendor has learned enough over the past year to know it must replace Thompson with an executive who will build on his legacy. HP will have to fill the post with someone who understands partners' needs and their value to the vendor and the end-user customers.
And it has to be someone who is as strong a voice for continuing to steer the company in the direction of working with partners as Thompson has been. It certainly would make sense for HP to find an executive with channel experience. A familiar face is usually the best choice because channel companies, whose businesses revolve around maintaining solid relationships, like to work with people they know.
HP has enough on its plate right now, with its former chairwoman facing charges of fraud and conspiracy as a result of a boardroom leak investigation that went very wrong. The probe allegedly involved spying, accessing phone and fax records under false pretenses, and running a sting operation on a journalist.
The last thing the vendor needs now is to make a false move in picking its next channel chief. Partners who stuck by the company through the rough years can endure only so much. It wouldn't hurt for management to immediately reassure partners that HP plans to remain on track, regardless of who fills the channel chief position.

Clipping Confirms Starting Date for WRAL Wrestling Tapings
Researcher-extraordinaire and regualr Mid-Atlantic Gateway contributor Mark Eastridge came across this great clipping in the Rocky Mount, NC, newspaper from February 7, 1959. It further confirms information we included some years ago on our WRAL Studio Wrestling page that the date of the first airing of wrestling from the studios of WRAL was the week prior, 1/31/59.
This article on Saturday 2/7/59 states that "the weekly series started last Saturday" which would have been 1/31/59.
The article also references the separate studio wrestling tapings that took place in Charlotte (at the studios of WBTV-3.)

WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama's standing in a new Associated Press-GFK poll suggests he could be in jeopardy of losing a re-election bid in November 2012, even as the survey showed that the U.S. public's outlook on the economy appears to be improving.
Obama's re-election prospects are essentially a 50-50 proposition, according to the poll. It found that most Americans say the president deserves to be voted out of office even though they have concerns about the Republican alternatives.
The Republican candidates held their last debate Thursday before the Jan. 3 Iowa caucuses lead off the battle for the nomination to challenge Obama. Former House speaker Newt Gingrich looks to maintain his recent lead while former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and other rivals work to tear him down.
The poll found Americans were evenly divided over whether they expect Obama to be re-elected next year.
For the first time, the poll found that a majority of adults, 52 percent, said Obama should be voted out of office while 43 percent said he deserves another term. The numbers mark a reversal since last May, when 53 percent said Obama should be re-elected while 43 percent said he didn't deserve four more years.
Obama's overall job approval stands at a new low, with 44 percent approving and 54 percent disapproving.
Heading into his re-election campaign, the president faces a conflicted public. It does not support his steering of the economy, the most dominant issue for Americans, or his overhaul of health care, one of his signature accomplishments, but it also is grappling with whether to replace him with Romney or Gingrich.
Romney was still campaigning in Iowa on Friday as he looked to halt Gingrich's momentum. He planned a campaign swing through South Carolina later in the day, where he was picking up the endorsement of Gov. Nikki Haley, The Associated Press has learned from a Republican with knowledge of the endorsement. The party member disclosed Haley's decision ahead of the official announcement on condition of anonymity.
Gingrich was returning to Washington after comparing himself to Ronald Reagan in Thursday's debate and insisting that he can defeat Obama in 2012. He added that it was laughable for his rivals to challenge his conservative credentials.
Despite the soft level of support, many are uncertain whether a Republican president would be a better choice. Asked whom they would support next November, 47 percent of adults favored Obama and 46 percent Romney, the former Massachusetts governor.
Against Gingrich, the Republican front runner and former speaker of the House of Representatives, the president holds a solid advantage, receiving 51 percent compared with 42 percent.
The Associated Press-GfK Poll was conducted Dec. 8-12 by GfK Roper Public Affairs and Corporate Communications. It involved landline and cellphone interviews with 1,000 adults nationwide and has a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.
The wild card in the Republican race is Texas Rep. Ron Paul, with the small-government libertarian surpassing Romney in some polls of Iowa voters.
In Thursday's debate, Paul said the U.S. has no legitimate claim to block Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon and he expressed his anti-war, anti-interventionist views so vehemently that he may have turned off mainstream Republicans who otherwise might have helped him to a surprising first-place finish.
"To declare war on 1.2 billion Muslims and say all Muslims are the same, this is dangerous talk," Paul said of the idea of taking pre-emptive action to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. "Yeah, there are some radicals. But they don't come here to kill us because we're free and prosperous ... They want to do us harm because we're bombing them."
Fellow candidate and Rep. Michele Bachmann said, "I have never heard a more dangerous answer for American security."

Auto sales to become digitally influenced!
Almost 70 percent of automobile sales translating into transactions worth about USD 40 billion in India would be 'digitally influenced' by 2020 from the current USD 18 billion, a report said. The report by Facebook and Bain & Company sought to examine the impact of digital technologies like social media and Internet of Things (IoT) in the automotive industry. By 2020, Social media is expected to become a major influence, driving sales of about USD 23 billion by 2020.
Most people do a significant part of their research before purchasing a car online now, which makes it important that automakers make digital media an important part of their marketing strategy. Many post-purchase activities are now happening online.
By 2020, up to 40 percent of consumers are expected to book repair and maintenance services online, while about 30 percent will go online to purchase vehicle accessories, up from 14 per cent and 8 per cent respectively.
However, most Indian automakers are behind the curve in digital investments, spending just 10-11 per cent of their total marketing budgets on digital media in 2016. 'Automotive OEMs should redefine their marketing and customer engagement efforts to reflect the current behaviour and usage patterns of automobile buyers,' Bain & Company Partner, Yaquta Mandviwala said.
Facebook India managing director, Umang Bedi said companies will need to step up efforts to create deeper and personalised relationships with customers. They also need to invest in a strong analytics backbone, an area where Facebook can help with its tools.

Jury Finds Pennsylvania Doctor and Hospital Negligent in 2012 Delivery; Family Awarded $14.5 Million
Five years ago, Nicole Welker went into labor with her first child. She was rushed to the Penn Highlands Clearfield Hospital, located in western Pennsylvania, nervous, but excited to meet her son for the first time. During the delivery the attending obstetrician observed complications with the pregnancy. And according to a medical malpractice lawsuit, filed on behalf of Welker and her family, the Clearfield staff administered the drug Pitocin to speed up the delivery. The suit claims that Pitocin should have never been given to Welker in her condition and caused her son to suffer from cerebral palsy.
Two years after the birth, the malpractice lawsuit was filed in federal court in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Earlier this year the suit was brought to trial and lasted for two-weeks, including a full week of testimonies. After deliberating, the jury found in favor of the plaintiff, awarding the family $14.5 million, which is the largest monetary verdict ever awarded in the Johnstown court. More than $11 million of the award was earmarked for the future medical care of the child through 2063, $2 million for pain and suffering, as well as $1 million for lost earnings.
"The jury properly determined that the health care providers responsible for causing the child's catastrophic injuries should also be responsible for paying the significant costs associated with his medical care going forward," said the attorney representing the family.
Welker's lawyers contend that because of the alleged negligence of Dr. Thomas Carnevale and the staff at Clearfield, the child was deprived critical oxygen in between contractions. After the birth he was rushed to the Pittsburgh Children's Hospital, where he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. The five-year-old boy, unable to walk or talk, will most likely be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of his life. The jury ruled that 60 percent of the fault was with Carnevale and 40 percent of the responsibility was with Clearfield Hospital.
According to the lawsuit, it is against the hospital's protocol to administer a hormone drug like Pitocin when the patient is dilating and having strong contractions, as Welker was. It is not clear whether Clearfield Hospital or Dr. Carnevale will appeal the ruling.
"The stakes could not be higher," said the plaintiff's attorney.

In & Out is a must stop destination when you are in the Bay Area or California. There are a bunch of them in California, but it lacks a presence in the East Coast. This is a reason why it is a must to grab a burger and fries when you are in the area. In & Out is a classic burger joint. They have hamburgers, cheeseburgers, fries, and milk shakes. Also, the interior of the joint will make you feel as if you were in the past.
The burgers are classic. It comes with a juicy patty, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and their special sauce, spread. Their so called "secret sauce" is what makes this place special. People love them on their burgers and even their fries. Even though the burgers already have spread on them, people still ask for the spread packets to drown their burger even more with it.
Some who cannot get enough of this spread, order Animal Style fries which is fries smothered with spread and grilled onions. Animal Style fries are to die for. For the people who can down more than one burger, this joint lets the customer order a 2 by 2, 3 by 3 and so on. This just means how many patties they put in a burger. This place is truly the place to Eat Like Kings.

"Misse is on cloud nine and has decided to take a step back with the show – and is taking the time to think about what she really wants in life," a source told the publication. "It seems she's followed her heart and chosen love over the show."
The source continued: "She and Jake seem made for each other and although they have been really trying to take things slowly for the sake of her son – they are head over heels in love.
"Jake gets stuck in with little Julian and Misse feels so relaxed with him," the source added. "She loves the show, so is grateful she still has the opportunity to appear as a guest character instead of a main housewife."
An ITV spokesperson released a statement regarding Biqiri's role in the upcoming fifth season; "Due to Misse's busy schedule and various commitments, she will be a 'guest' housewife in the upcoming fifth series. Fans of the show can rest assured that she will appear in the next series, which will air later this spring on ITVBe."
During The Real Housewives of Cheshire Season 4 reunion special, Missé confirmed that she was dating Jake Hall and that they'd been officially together for "two weeks".
"Yes we are dating, we met through common friends," she revealed. "I'm taking it by baby steps – whatever happens, happens. My priority is my son but when I met Jake he made me so happy."
Jake first sparked rumors that he was dating the RHOCheshire star after uploading an Instagram picture of his face being cupped by a woman's hand with the caption "Just Works."
Then on October 12, Jake and Beqiri were spotted out on a date together – confirming what most fans thought.
Missé and Anders have a three-year-old son together Julian, stated 'irreconcilable differences' behind the end of their two year marriage at the end of August.
In a statement, the pair wrote: "Because of irreconcilable differences we have taken the difficult decision to live separate lives. The care for our son remains the main priority to both of us. We would kindly ask that our privacy gets respected in what is a difficult and upsetting time for all of us. We will make no further comment on this matter."
Meanwhile, Beqiri's ex-husband has also moved on and is currently dating international supermodel Sophie Bording.

Switching Costs
Back to the blog after some time away and thoughts these days center around switching costs, both for projects and for life in the cosmic sense. How many email accounts do you have? How many projects are you on? How many collaboration sites do you use for information and task management? Read the books and watch the documentaries and decide which theory you prefer -- can we really multitask or not? Are humans capable of the level of multitasking we pretend we can handle? I am definitely in the camp saying that multitasking is a myth. Oh, we can do it a bit, but all truly productive and enjoyable work comes when you are focused, not when you are flitting across eight things at once.
Consider flow, those moments when we are absorbed in the moment and what we are doing, and how enjoyable work becomes. And deep thought as well, periods in which we take the time to wonder and explore around very specific concepts or events. How long has it been since I've had those moments? Far too long I think.
Dale Carnegie wrote about living in "day-tight containers" as a way to diminish anxiety. How do you know what is coming tomorrow, good or bad? Why fret about it? Why not pour all of your focus and energy into today?
More to follow in the days ahead. Over the past six months I've watched several projects play out simultaneously, and the successful ones have a singular purpose and a common online workspace that team members log into each day as if they were driving a big rig cross country. Other projects are laden with distractions and inefficiencies, lots of noise, and too much communication.
OK then. The site is updated and I'm back and the summer season has begun.

The Gate Theatre in Dublin is asking employees and contractors affected by sexual harassment and abuse of power to contact them.
Management say they are to appoint an independent HR advisor to handle any issues raised.
In a statement, it says it joins other theatrical institutions "to condemn the issue of sexual harassment and abuse of power in the theatre world in Ireland and internationally."
The Gate board and management say they "will listen to what people have to say".
"Our aim is to foster a safe and supportive working environment in our theatre", it says.
It says those who have been contracted by the Gate Theatre, or are in its employment, and wish to talk about concerns can contact them on firstname.lastname@example.com

As your State Representative, I will vote to add the 2/3rds requirement to our State Constitution, and I will vote against more tax. I will also support bills to cut the size of our government, especially those over-bearing agencies such as the Department of Ecology that make more unnecessary regulations against businesses and landowners.
The democrats and others on the left seem to think that the bigger the government, the better. The bigger the bully, the better? Maybe so, if you are on the receiving end.

Basics: The Explanation of PoliticsThese words should be inscribed on every government building, from the White House to the county courthouse:"People do not get the best government they can conceive. They get the worst government they will tolerate."Those in power are there for a payoff. We all know that. This obvious fact leads to the conclusion that they will not listen to real problems unless they are FORCED to. But those who do the most bitching about what is going on keep complaining that it is, of all things, UNFAIR.How on earth can a person bitch about how politics is all about money and selfishness and then moan about how UNFAIR it is?This is why those in power genuinely love minorities. You just make your deal with the minority "leaders" and then find people with brown skins and hand them a slip of paper telling them how to vote.Has anybody noticed that the "Get out the vote" that used to be yelled at every election has ceased? They get out THEIR vote now.Anti-whites and respectable conservatives have joined in a tacit endorsement of suppressing real dissent. William Buckley has endorsed Europe's Thought Crime laws."People do not get the best government they can conceive. They get the worst government they will tolerate."So until we stop putting up with it, it will stay.Period.

Zach efron dating vanessa hudgens
Rumors are rife that Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have been secretly seeing each other behind the backs of Austin Butler and Sami Miro.Sources have claimed that the former "High School Musical 3" lead stars still have feelings for each other until now.Vanessa just confirmed that she and Zac haven't talked in a long time, and it doesn't look like they will in the foreseeable future.This was not the "Breaking Free" I was hoping for from these two. Though the Disney darlings were the hot couple to watch throughout all of the late 2000s, they split up in 2010 and have began branching off into more mature acting careers separately.The actress, who is promoting her latest NBC series film in 2005, before splitting in 2010 - with her later citing his crazy popularity amongst girls as part of the reason."I went through a phase when I was really mean because I was so fed up.Girls were running after him, and I was giving them death stares", she told New York Times in March 2015. Spread the love, be a good person, they support you, be nice." Considering it's easy to get jealous over someone liking a photo on Instagram, it must've been pretty difficult to go out with one of the most fancied men around.
As a matter of fact, there have been claims saying that the "High School Musical 4" stars are planning to get back together soon after the "Spring Breakers" actress allegedly dumped her boyfriend, Austin Butler.
Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens Dating: Za Nessa Never Stopped Loving Each Other?
Former Couple Confirmed Reuniting in 'High School Musical 4' Movie?
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have been hitting the dating headlines once again after several years of living apart.
Now, new reports are claiming that the former lovebirds have been cheating on Austin Butler and Sami Miro, which could possibly be the main reasons why they got separated from their most-recent partner.
Still, some things happen for a reason: a year after their split in 2011, Vanessa started dating Austin Butler, who she's still with now.

Hi, everyone!
Last week, I swore to myself that there was only one thing that I would allow to interrupt my vacation and that thing would be a new trailer for Avengers: Infinity War. I swore to myself that if a new trailer dropped, I would take a few minutes to hop on here and share it with everyone.
Well, the trailer has dropped.
And here it is:
This is going to be so awesome!

2018 – year of the house
I just looked back and I made zero attempts at resolutions or goals last year. Can't exactly say that was a bad idea, I seldom remember resolutions too long but I do a decent job at small constant changes. I also didn't have any major plans last year as of Jan1. I knew about the short summer and the impending milestone of 3 kids in school but otherwise, all the major things that actually ended up happening were surprises. That is how life goes I suppose.
2018 has a few things to shape it;
- March we are going to a big SCA event in Mississippi because it fits perfectly with the kids school break.
- our house building project is getting real. We had a bit of a false start with plan #1 so we are on plan #2 and hopefully will be in the permit stage. House is going to be a major theme of the year.
- house selling or renting will also be a thing.
- Packing, I should probably put packing an entire house and 10+ years of stuff on the list. Glad I started already!
- Summer will be extra long and I'm thinking of what to do, but, house/move/pack timeline will dictate.
- I would like to find a bit more work both for the income and for the satisfaction of it. Not full time but maybe a few consulting projects during the school year.
- I may end up running for school board. This is a maybe, we will see later in the year.
So I have some short-term goals of prepping for events and getting this house ready to pass on, and, longer-term ones like building a house and progressing my career. Everything else that may happen I'm ready for but you just can't plan for the unexpected.

Selamat Hari Raya . . Kepada saudara serta saudari . . Setahun, hanya sekali . . Merayakan hari yang mulia ini . .
That is Hari Raya song when Hari Raya is coming, where Muslim celebrate on 1st Syawal every year after fasting month on Ramadhan. The Hari Raya day was the best and special day to everybody. It doesn't matter celebrate with or without gathering such as open house. I'm not very happy celebrate Hari Raya for this year. It is because I'm not go 'beraya' to my cousin houses. My father was busy on his duties. So, we just stay in house waiting for visitor and our cousins to come. That's mean no 'Duit Raya' lah . Aiii, what a poor and very-very sad . . Isk isk . Sob sob . By the way, on the 1st day Syawal, my mom order 'Satay' and she cooks a lot and variety of dishes . For example 'Rendang Daging' with 'Ketupat Nasi', 'Kuah Kacang', 'Ayam Masak Merah', 'Bihun Goreng', and 'Daging Masak Kicap'. For dessert have a ice-cream. So, no hal lorh, we just stay in our own house in 'pagi raya' because our stomach tank is always refill . Hahaha . Then go to toilet . Aiii . . like always . We have had taken a family picture in 'pagi raya'. Even I'm not happy for this year Syawal, the gathering family was the happiest moment in my life. Because I can see the happy tears in my dad and mom eyes. I can feel it. I'm sure that my friends also feel the same feeling as me. Right guys ?
the only daughter in family . . me lorh . ekekeke . Front: my beloved dad and mom.

Next autumn marks the half-millennium since an event now so mythic that some have doubted it ever took place. If it did, the date was 31 October 1517. The main actor belonged to a religious Order known as the Hermits of Saint Augustine, Martin Luther by name, though he also tried out a hybrid Greek/Latin polish for his surname by dressing it up as 'Eleutherius', 'the freed man'. This kind of personal rebranding was a humanist affectation then common among university lecturers; some of them, like his colleague in the University of Wittenberg Philip Melanchthon ('Black-Earth', from his original surname, Schwarzerdt), kept this name for the rest of their lives. In Dr Luther's case, though, the new surname was also a devout play on words, reflecting a sense of the liberation which came from his action that day in October when he nailed an announcement of proposed points for a university discussion to a church door in Wittenberg, a muddy three-street town on the north German plain. The pinball machine of history then sent the consequences flying round the continent, and we are still observing the ricochets. Within fifty years of this apparently trivial action (Luther's seminar never took place), people were calling the unintended consequences 'the Reformation'. Modern inhabitants of the United Kingdom will be familiar with the Law of Unintended Consequences.
By the time the Reformation had become a familiar term, a second word had become embedded in the consciousness of Europeans: 'Protestant'. At first it was simply a label for a group of German political leaders who had made an official 'protest' against legislation that sought to suppress the growing Lutheran movement; by the mid-16th century, however, the term was being used of anyone who felt themselves part of the Reformation. Many would contrast 'Protestant' with another Latin/Greek hybrid, 'Catholic', meaning 'universal', which had been appropriated by the Western or Latin Church in Europe. This church, against which Luther found himself rebelling in 1517, was a centuries-old organisation led by a bishop in Rome, one of the few bishops in the Christian world still formally styling himself by an ancient title once common for a Christian church leader, Papa ('father'). After the initial shock of the schism Luther precipitated, the Roman papacy rallied much of European Christianity back to itself, and continued calling itself the Catholic Church, thus ignoring a multitude of other ancient Christian churches in Eastern Europe and beyond which might equally have regarded themselves as part of a universal Christianity – let alone the newly minted Protestants in Europe. 'Catholicism' has never been a simple usage, because Protestants were adamant that there was nothing Catholic about a church they saw as deviating from a primitive simplicity to which Luther had drawn attention in his revolutionary message. Protestants in their own eyes were the true Catholics. The pope's followers were at best 'Roman Catholics', or at worst dupes of a devilish caricature of Jesus the Saviour of the World: an Italian 'Vicar of Christ' with papal tiara, sitting on the Seven Hills of Rome, who personified the Antichrist condemned in Holy Scripture.
Exploring words and their meanings shows what a complicated business this Reformation was. 'Protestants' did not succeed as they had hoped in replacing the pope's church with a single body which could be described as Catholic, and their divisions were partly caused by Luther's opinionated obstinacy: he was never one to avoid a stand-up row about points of principle. Plenty of Protestants rejoice in a self-consciously Lutheran tradition, especially Germans and Scandinavians, and they will be the ones most readily celebrating 1517, remembering 31 October as Reformation Day, a big annual event in Lutheran Germany. Very many Lutherans of German and Scandinavian descent throughout the world and especially in the United States will also get excited about the half-millennium, and it is no coincidence that two of the three new Luther biographies are aimed at the US market. Andrew Pettegree's publishers seem to be trying to appeal to it through one of those inordinately long subtitles beginning with 'How …' beloved of the serious-minded American reading public. Maybe, however, it's one of Pettegree's little jokes, because subtitles were a great feature of 16th-century book production, and that – it turns out – is very relevant to Pettegree's theme.
There will be less excitement in Britain. This isn't just because England and Scotland are becoming among the most secular-minded regions of Europe: the historical reason is that our respective national Protestantisms sprang from a non-Lutheran variety of Protestant faith, which to avoid carrying simply a negative 'not-Luther' description, adopted for itself the description 'Reformed'. Reformed Protestantism is often called Calvinism, after the French Reformer John Calvin, but that is a mistake; the Reformed had many and varied leaders and thinkers of significance, and one of the things that annoyed the Reformed about Lutheranism was its idolisation of the single figure of Martin Luther.
There was good reason for Reformed suspicions. Eisleben, the little town in Saxony where Luther was born in 1483 or 1484, turned in the course of the 16th century into a centre of Lutheran pilgrimage, styled a 'New Jerusalem' by its devotees. Pilgrimage generally involves a saint. Legends developed about Luther's continuing miraculous power, most strikingly a story which circulated as early as the Diet of Worms in 1521: pictures of the burly Reformer were apparently capable of surviving attempts to burn them. It wasn't surprising that such portraits did so well in Lutheran communities: hugely multiplied through the medium of print, they could be useful forms of elementary home insurance if pinned to a cottage wall. Joint portraits of the later Luther with his redoubtable wife, the ex-nun Katharina von Bora, were more readily identifiable role-models for married couples than Joseph and the Virgin Mary, and such engravings would have been a blessing to the unimaginative wondering what to give for a wedding present. Every trivial or profound observation of the great man over dinner had been eagerly absorbed and jotted down by guests and household lodgers who were students at Wittenberg, and within a few years of his death, anthologies of these bon mots were being published as Luther's 'Table Talk'.

Sunday the tenth of April was our first real day off after arriving in Indonesia. The first day without anything scheduled for us to do. Nonetheless I still woke up before five o'clock in the morning. My host family wanted to show me around Kediri so we left walked to the main road around seven-thirty to catch a bus to Dhoho street. On Sundays Dhoho street is closed down to cars so and turns into a market. The street was very crowded with Indonesians and me being the only bule (fair skinned person) in the area was quite a novelty. Being stopped to take pictures with the more daring Indonesians was very common. In fact, one young Indonesian girl even interviewed me for a class assignment of sorts.
After Dhoho street we went to Monumen Simpang Lima Gumul. It was similar in nature to the Arc de Triomphe in Paris. Lots of people hanging around outside the arc. The arc is in the center of a roundabout and beyond the roundabout was a park area with many small food vendors setup. I bought some street food that I think later came back to haunt me and endured taking more pictures with locals.
After our visit to the arc we went to Kediri mall where I purchased my first batik shirt. I had to get an extra large since the sizes are adjusted for individuals without the stature of a typical America. We also paid a visit to a grocery store where I bought some cookies and a Snickers bar. Two excellent choices that I don't regret at all. Coincidentally, we also ran into someone that was at the park from earlier that wanted to take a picture with me. They wanted another picture at the mall. This particular middle aged Indonesian woman was much more… comfortable with me than the usual Indonesian that asks to take a picture with me.
After the mall we returned home and I promptly took a nap. The rest of the day was spent at home either sleeping or eating.

The marine environment having vast resources of natural products with potential bioactivities. Among the marine natural products, fatty acids obtained from marine mollusks have broad range of biological activities including antimicrobial and antitumor activities. The present study aims to characterize the fatty acid derivatives from the Sydney rock oyster Saccostrea glomerata and its pharmacological activities.
S. glomerata fleshes were serially extracted with hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol and studied the antimicrobial activities against pathogenic bacteria, fungi and virus. Based on the better result, the ethyl acetate extract was selected and purified through silica column chromatography and screened the fractions for antimicrobial and antitumor activities. Also the best active fraction (FV) was functionally and structurally characterized.
The ethyl acetate extract of S. glomerata effectively controlled the bacterial pathogens and formed of more than 15 mm of zone of inhibition and also effectively suppressed the fungal growth and inhibit the shrimp white spot syndrome virus (WSSV). The secondary screening results revealed that, the fraction (FV) had potential antimicrobial and antitumor activities. The FV concentration (100 μg/ml) effectively suppressed the tumor mammary epithelial carcinoma cell of 14.45%. The GC–MS analysis revealed that, eleven compounds including N-hexadecanoic acid, L-(+)-ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate and 6-Octadecenoic acid were characterized.
The fatty acid derivatives isolated and characterized from S. glomerata extracts had the potent antimicrobial and antitumor activities. This basic research can help to develop the antimicrobial and anticancer drugs from the nutraceuticals in future.

Mollusks are widely distributed throughout the world and have many representatives such as slugs, whelks, clams, mussels, oysters, scallops, squids and octopods in the marine and estuarine ecosystem [1]. Filter-feeding bivalves like oysters are benthic organisms and are constantly exposed to relatively high concentrations of bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi many of which may be harmful to the organism. The survival of these organisms might depend on efficient antimicrobial mechanisms to protect themselves against microbial infections. In addition, their immobile life style might increase the risk of pathogenic infection. To combat these potential invaders, they need an effective defense system [2].
The marine environment is a huge source to discover bioactive natural products. A wide variety of bioactive substances are being isolated and characterized from the food that is derived from the marine environment, several with great promise for the treatment of human and fish disease. For the past two decades, pharmaceutical industry has been relatively successful in overcoming problems due to single resistant determinants; however the advent of multiple resistant mechanism has severely limited the use of many major classes of antimicrobial compounds [3]. In marine invertebrates so far approximately 7000 marine natural products have been reported, 33% from sponges, 18% from coelenterates and 24% from representatives of other invertebrate phyla such as ascidians, mollusks, echinoderms and bryozoans [4]. However, the advent of multiple resistant mechanism has limited the use of many major classes of antimicrobial compounds. The bio prospecting of novel natural compounds from marine invertebrates may be effective, non-toxic and highly promising to the antimicrobial research.
Several compounds extracted from marine invertebrates, including bivalves, possess broad spectrum antimicrobial activities, affecting the growth of bacteria, fungi and yeasts [5],[6]. Antibacterial and antiviral activities have been previously described in the hemolymph of several molluscan species including several sea hares, sea slung, oysters and mussels' species [7]-[10]. Oyster extract has many biological activities including antitumor and anticancer [11], antioxidants [12], antibacterial [13], antiviral [14] and reducing blood pressure [15]. The fatty acids obtained from marine mollusks have broad range of biological activities. The ability of fatty acids to interfere with bacterial growth and survival has been known for several decades [16]. Bioactive lipids from mussels including fatty acids, sphingolipids, phytosterols, diacylglycerols, diterpenes, sesquiterpenes and saponins were highly influenced to control the human diseases [17]. The present study intends to characterize the lipid compounds extracted from Sydney rock oyster Saccostrea glomerata and to understand the antimicrobial and anticancer activities in vitro level.
Materials and methods
Sampling and extraction
Live specimens of the Sydney rock Oyster Saccostrea glomerata was collected from Kovalam rocky shore (8° 4' 38.39" N; 77° 31' 56.32" E) of Kanyakumari district, Tamilnadu, India. They were immediately brought to the laboratory and their soft bodies were removed by breaking shells. The fleshes were cut into small pieces, washed with distilled water and homogenized. The homogenate was serially extracted with three times of hexane, ethyl acetate and methanol. The extract was filtered and concentrated in a rotary vacuum evaporator at 40°C and stored at 4°C.
Determination of antimicrobial activity
Antibacterial screening
In vitro antibacterial activity was performed by the extracts taken from S. glomerata using different organic solvent and condensate to the total volume of 50 μg. The extracts were tested against aquatic and human diseases causing bacterial pathogens including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio harveyi, V. parahaemolyticus, Aeromonas hydrophila and Staphylococcus aureus using agar diffusion following the method of Baur et al. [18].
Antifungal screening
For antifungal activity, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Candida albicans and Fusarium sp. spores (1× 108 cfu−1) were inoculated onto sabouraud dextrose agar. Sterile cork borer was used to bore five holes on the agar plates and then the S. glomerata extracts were introduced aseptically and incubated at 30°C for 5 days. The zone of inhibition was recorded.
Antiviral screening
Antiviral activity was performed against the whispovirus, White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) infected shrimps. The haemolymph samples of the infected shrimp Fenneropenaeus indicus were bled and centrifuged at 3000 X g for 20 min at 4°C. Then the supernatant fluid was re-centrifuged at 8000 X g for 30 min at 4°C and the final supernatant fluid was filtered, the filtrate was then stored at – 20°C for infectivity studies. 50 mg of S. glomerata extracts condensate were dissolved in 10 ml of NTE buffer (0.2 M NaCl, 0.02 M Tris–HCl and 0.02 M EDTA and adjusted pH 7.4) as stock for further bioassay studies. 5 μl of viral suspension were mixed with 10 μl of S. glomerata extracts and incubated at 29°C for 3 hours. After 3 hours, the mixture was injected intramuscularly into shrimp F. indicus weighing 8.0 ± 1 g. Control experiments were also maintained as for the mixture of 25 μl NTE buffer and 5 μl viral suspensions. Mortalities were recorded in every day and the experiment was carried out up to 10 days.
Purification of antimicrobial active extracts
Based on the best result, ethyl acetate extract of S. glomerata was purified through preparative silica column chromatography (50–80 μm particle size; 30 cm column length; 0.5 ml elution flow rate and three bed volume elution). Different proportions of the mobile phases such as hexane/ethyl acetate and ethyl acetate/methanol were used for eluting the active compounds. The different elutes were collected, concentrated in a rotary evaporator and stored at 4°C. The fractions were spotted on silica gel plates GF254 (Merck), 20 × 20 cm, 1 mm thick and the chromatogram was developed using, hexane: ethyl acetate (8:2) as mobile phase. The plates were visualized under short UV wavelength.
Secondary antimicrobial screening
The antibacterial activity was performed against the bacterial pathogens including P. aeruginosa, V. harveyi and A. hydrophila using the S. glomerata extract fractions FIII, FIV, FV, FIX and FX following the method mentioned in the section 2.2.1. The antifungal activity was performed against the fungal pathogens including A. niger, C. albicans and Fusarium sp. following the method mentioned in the section 2.2.2. Antiviral activity was also performed against WSSV using the purified fractions following the method mentioned in the section 2.2.3. The haemolymph samples were collected from the challenged shrimps, extracted the genomic DNA and performed the WSSV diagnostic double step PCR described by Takahashi et al. [19].
Antitumor assay
The antitumor assay was performed in tumor mammary epithelial carcinoma cell lines with different concentrations (10–100 μg/ml) of purified S. glomerata extract fraction (FV) following the method of Freshney [20] and the activity was monitored after 48 h.
Functional group characterization by FT-IR spectroscopy
The basic functional groups of the purified S. glomerata column elution (FV) were analyzed qualitatively by Fourier Transform Infra Red (FTIR) method described by Kemp [21].
Structural characterization by GC-MS analysis
GC–MS analysis of purified S. glomerata extract fraction (FV) was analyzed using Agilent GC–MS 5975 Inert XL MSD (United States) gas chromatography equipped with J and W 122–5532G DB-5 ms 30 × 0.25 mm × 0.25 μm and mass detector (EM with replaceable horn) that operated in EMV mode. Helium was used as carrier gas with the flow rate of 1.0 ml min−1. The injection port temperature was operated at 250°C. The column oven temperature was held at 80°C for 2 min then programmed at 10°C min−1 to 250°C, which was held for 0 min, and then at 5°C min−1 to 280°C which was held for 9 min. Electron impact spectra in positive ionization mode were acquired between m/z 40 and 450.
Data analysis
One-way and two-way ANOVAs were carried out using the SPSS statistics data package and Ky plot, respectively. Positive correlation analysis also performed to compare the data by Microsoft Excel programme. Means were compared at 0.05and 0.001% level.
Primary antibacterial and antifungal screening
Among the three organic solvent extracts of S. glomerata, the ethyl acetate extract (50 μg) was effectively suppressing the bacterial pathogens such as P. aeruginosa, V. harveyi, V. parahaemolyticus, A.hydrophila and S.aureus of more than 15 mm of zone of inhibition. The same extract also effectively controlled the fungal pathogens including A. niger, A. flavus, C.albicans and Fusarium sp. by in vitro level of antifungal screening (data not given).

Bioactive compounds extracted from marine invertebrates, including bivalves, possess broad spectrum antimicrobial activities [22]. Antimicrobial activities have been described in a wide range of molluscan species including oyster (Crassostrea virginica), mussel (Mytilus edulis and Geukensia demissa), muricid mollusks (Dicathais orbita) and sea hare (Dolabella auricularia) [23]-[26]. In order to fight against microbial infection, marine mollusks have found the adaptation of antimicrobial factors including antimicrobial compounds and antimicrobial peptides etc. In the present study, the active compounds extracted from the mid polar extraction found to be the broad range of antimicrobial and anticancer activities. The extract effectively controlled the pathogenic bacteria including P. aeruginosa, V. harveyi, V. parahaemolyticus, A. hydrophila, S. aureus; the fungi include A. niger, A. flavus, C. albicans, Fusarium s p and the shrimp killer virus WSSV. The acetone extract of the winged oyster, Pteria chinensis was found to have a broad spectral of inhibiting activity against fish pathogenic bacteria [27]. Defer et al. [28] reported the antibacterial and antiviral activities in three bivalve and two gastropod marine molluscs (Cerastoderma edule, Ruditapes philippinarum, Ostrea edulis and Buccinum undatum). The edible bivalve species including Perna viridis and Meretrix casta showed antifungal activities [29]. Limasset et al. [30] reported the antiviral activity in extracts from mussel Mytilus edulis, clam Mercenaria mercenaria, and oyster Crassostrea gigas against the Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV). Li and Traxler [31] reported the antiviral activity in clam Mya arenaria aqueous extract against an amphibian virus (LT-1).
Based on the secondary screening, the FV fractions are very effective to control the bacteria, fungi, and virus and also had antitumor activities. The structural characterization of the FV revealed that the eleven fatty acid derivatives were identified as hexadecanoic, L-(+)-ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono(2-ethylhexyl) ester, octadecenoic and stigmasterol etc. The previous literatures also evidenced that, the lipid derivatives including hexadecanoic acid, octadecenoic acid, L-(+)-ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono (2-ethylhexyl) ester, sigmasterol and γ-sitosterol characterized from plants and marine sources were found to be a powerful antimicrobial, antioxidant and anticancer activities.
The FV which extracted from the mobile phase of H25: EA25% contained all fatty acid derivatives which inhibited the pathogenic bacteria at the rate of 15 mm zone of inhibition. As seen in the previous literatures, the compounds including hexadecanoic acid, octadecenoic acid, stigmasterol and γ-sitosterol may inhibit the pathogenic bacteria. This is supported by several researchers. 9-Octadecanoic acid and hexadecanoic acid identified from neem oil had effectively inhibited the pathogenic bacteria including Staphylococcus aureus ATCC No. 25923, Escherichia coli ATCC No. 44102 and Salmonella sp. ATCC No. 50 041 by in vitro antibacterial screening [32]. Abou-Elela et al. [33] proved the antibacterial activity using hexadecanoic acid derivatives from marine sponge, Spongia officinalis and the brown algae Cytosoria compressa against S. aureus, S. faecalis, P. aeruginosa and E.coli. L (+)-Ascorbic acid, 2,6-dihexadecanoate were identified from the ethanolic extract of Dacryodes edulis had potent antibacterial activity against S.aureus, E. coli, Streptococcus pneumonia and Proteus mirabilis[34]. 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate isolated from the seaweed, Sargassum weightii, have antibacterial effect on anumber of bacteria [35]. Moreover stigmasterol isolated from the aerial part of Spillanthes acmella effectively controlled various pathogenic bacteria including methycilin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [36]. These fatty acid derivatives identified from S. glomerata may inhibit cell wall disruption, transcription and translation which lead to the arrest of protein synthesis.
The antifungal fatty acids naturally insert themselves into the lipid bi-layer of the fungal membranes and physically disturb the membrane, resulting in increased fluidity of the membrane. These elevations in membrane fluidity will cause the release of intracellular components, cytoplasmic disorder and eventually cell disintegration. Carballeira et al. [37] studied the antifungal activity of the fatty acids such as 2,6- hexaecadiynoic acid and 2,6-nonadecadiyenoic acid against Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans respectively. Stigmasterol and γ –Sitosterolwere identified in many plants including Spillanthes acmella inhibited various fungal species including Candida albicans, C. virusei, and C. tropicalis[36],[38]. The fatty acid derivatives may interfere or disintegrate the cell wall or spore wall of the pathogenic fungus leading to the arrest of the germination or growth. In the present study, the lipids identified from the S. glomerata extract fraction may inhibit the transcription and translation of the WSSV and that lead to the arrest of viral multiplication. The extracts help to reduce the WSSV load in the shrimps' haemolymph and other tissues. Due to the inactivation of WSSV or the lowest load in the shrimp haemolymph and other tissues, the survival may have been increased than to the control and heaxane and methanolic extracts treated groups. This has been supported by Velmurugan et al. [39] they proved the antiviral activity by delivering Psidium guajava methanolic extract containing 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid bis (2-ethylhexyl) to Fenneropenaeus indicus infected with white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) infected shrimp.
Fatty acids have been reported as a potential group of natural products which modulate tumor cell growth. In the present study, the purified fraction (FV) of S. glomerata was found to be controlling the tumor mammary epithelial carcinoma cells at the rate of 83% in the 100 μg/ml and 50% in 100 μg/ml respectively in experimental and control. The fatty acid derivatives including hexadecanoic acid and octadecanoic acid isolated and characterized from the Ceratonia siliqua pods essential oil inhibited two tumoral human cell lines HeLa and MCF-7 [40]. 6-Octadecenoic acid characterized from crude methanolic extract of Calendula officinalis flower effectively suppressed the human epidermoid larynx carcinoma (Hep-2) cell line [41]. 1,2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid and mono(2-ethylhexyl) ester from the ethanolic extract of Centratherum punctatum had cytotoxic effect against Ehrlich Ascites Carcinoma cell lines [42]. Also the immature Citrus grandis, Osbeck, fruit extract contains γ-sitosterol and stigmasterol which has cytotoxic effects against human leukaemia cells U937 [43].
Based on the results of the present study, the fatty acid derivatives including hexadecanoic acid, octadecenoic acid, L-(+)-ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, mono (2-ethylhexyl) ester, stigmasterol and γ-sitosterol isolated and characterized from S. glomerata had the ability of controlling the pathogenic bacteria, fungi, virus and antitumor activities. Further study is needed to purify the above said fatty acid derivatives and the study the antimicrobial and anticancer activities individually.

Dog Training Equipment: How to Make a Dog Shaker
There are hundreds of different varieties of dog training equipment that can be constructed from simple household items that are lying around. These will help to improve the physicality, learning speed and other factors of your beloved canine, who enjoys all sorts of learning exercises and new toys to play with. The dog shaker provides the owner with an incredibly easy-to-make toy that will provide your dog with hours (or seconds) of fun depending on how destructive a pup it really is.
Step 1 - The Can
There is a variety of dog shaker that can be made with an empty cardboard toilet roll or kitchen roll tube, but this is less practical for a few reasons. A majority of dogs will be able to open up this variety of shaker within seconds, providing almost no productivity and excitement for the dog. The dog must work for its treats, so the can shaker is a far more successful contraption. First, make a few holes in the can so that the dog can smell or see the treats, then cut off the top and bottom of the can and apply a few layers of selotape to ensure that your dog cannot be cut by the can.
Step 2 - Treats
Now that you have the body of your home-made dog shaker complete, you can select the treats to place inside. Pick treats with either a distinctive smell or a distinctive sound when rattling against the can walls—as this will stimulate the dog's excitement and ensure that it does not lose interest before discovering how to get into the shaker. This toy teaches your dog the importance of commitment and allows it to think creatively.
Step 3 - Sealing the Shaker
With the top and bottom of the can safely covered by selotape and the treats inside, it is now time to apply a few layers of paper to the open top and bottom and selotape them on also. This provides two ports of entry for your canine, yet the metal body of the can adds a longer play-time and a more positive acoustic than an empty toilet roll. Now that you have completed your dog shaker, you can introduce it to your dog and sit back as it plays and learns for hours on end.
Step 4 - Progression
This is only the beginning of your journey into homemade toys for your dog. The shaker is so easy to make that you can produce one as soon as your canine has solved the previous one. Why not try making ones that are harder to break into, building up your dog's determination. You may soon think that there are a lot of other toys that you could create using only waste materials. It will provide you with a much closer relationship with your canine and also a lot of savings from the pet shop!

This is a picture of the artist Frida Kahlo, who at the age of 18 had her life completely changed, due to an accident. She had been intending to attend University and become a doctor. The accident changed all that, she was hospitalized for some time, over her short life, she possibly underwent some 30 surgeries. Her life and her art can easily be found by sourcing google.
In this picture with the use of a mirror she is painting on her body cast. She had a life full of drama and adventures her name was linked with many public figures. Always she painted for herself, she is quoted as saying "I paint self portraits because I am so often alone… because I am the subject I know best"
Another of her statements " I am not sick, I am broken, but I am happy to be alive, as long as I can paint"
When I read about her, and saw her work, I could see the pain in her work, she was known to work slowly, patiently and she expressed her pain, emotional and physical, through her works. Born in Mexico, it was where she wanted to be, and that is where she died. She created some 200 paintings,drawings and sketches all related to her personal experiences in life. When reading about her life, we see adjectives/words, like turbulent, painful, colourful. I saw determination and need to express….
This is by another artist that has made history with his work. Rodin. This is the marvelous piece called "L'Eternelle Idole" I implore you if you want to read more about this piece to visit, The Alchemist's Pillow The words written to describe this sculpture brought it to life even more, then by just looking at it and taking in it's every nuance.
Everyone is an artist, only our way of expressing what we see, feel and think, is different. Unique to each one of us.
In PL we say, everyday is a new beginning. PL Precept #18 Each Moment is a Turning Point.
Bronze, Musee Rodin Paris –
have a happy meaningful day, express yourself in a positive way. Love is everywhere especially in and around YOU!
