Janis Ian & Stefan Rudnicki Record My Audiobook!* – Part 2
* Maggie Schein's book is Lost Cantos of the Ouroboros Caves, with introduction by author Pat Conroy.
Honestly, I'm still a little inarticulate about this, so pardon me if I trip over my own tongue a bit, and do expect revisions and additions in the near future.
First, the experience was so surreal I wish I had come home with a snippet of the recording so I could remind myself of the enormity of the experience (it is THAT surreal, so much so that it is hard for me to recover the memory accurately, like trying to remember a dream). Alas, I was advised that it's not wise for the author to hear the unedited version, so they did not let me take any samples home. And I understand why.
But…I want to revisit that first moment (and a few moments after!), that very first moment when I was sitting in the studio, and Stefan said, "We're ready; Janis, begin whenever you are." Janis was cocooned in the recording booth, and she began to speak into the mic, her voice broadcast into the room we were in via some magic speaker that made it seem like she was standing right next to us (as we joked, it sounded like the voice of God, since I could not see her but her voice was completely present):
"Lost Cantos of the Ouroborous Caves…. Chapter One," she began.
First there was the shocking reality of it. This was actually happening. My first book, 6 months after its first printing, was being recorded by Janis Ian and Stefan Rudnicki.
That's the fan-girl, awe-struck, holy s**t moment. I expected that moment. I had prepared myself for that and talked myself into at least not squealing with glee out loud (one must be vewy vewy quiet in a recording studio).
What I didn't expect is what happened next. Janis had warned me that she had to read the book as she read it, as she heard it, which would be different from how I hear it in my head. She said to prepare myself for that. I thought, no sweat, man. My father has read the book aloud to me, my friends have as well. I'm used to different "interpretations." And also, I trust Janis, and I trust that any interpretation she gives it will be hers, with her lyrical, tender, melodic voice, and therefore, it will be just fine. She's just gonna read the stories as she reads them. Right?
Wrong. What Janis and Stefan did in creating this audio book is anything but an "interpretation." It is not their "version" or "reading" of my book. Every reader takes from each word and each turn of phrase or completed story what they need, what they want, and then that moment dies and they move on to the next one. As both a reader and an author I am used to that. I expected to "hear" Janis' version of my book. That's not what happened. What happened – and this is what I was unprepared for — is that I was launched into the 3 dimensional audio world she and Stefan created out of my two dimensional words on paper. Listeners of audio books are accustomed to "hearing" the movie of the book. But the experience — as the author — of witnessing the creation of that specific, living, breathing, moving, palpable, world out of words I wrote on a page…was like watching inspiration and creation herself in action. I was in the unique position of experiencing the creation of the world they made. And entering their world was mesmerizing.
Again, I will say, I was humbled, awed, honored and inspired with the expertise and care they took in cultivating that audio world out of the silent paper seeds I gave them.

All treatment must begin with an assessment
The initial stages of treatment always begin with assessment. By quickly checking your body's alignment and posture you can tell if your body has developed unhealthy compensations and poor posture. Poor posture not only takes away from esthetics, it compromises how we were designed to function, eventually leading to pain and/or injury. Your joints will move out of correct alignment and a joint out of alignment is a grinding, twisting joint. It's only a matter of time until your body breaks down and you are injured and in pain.
Check your upper body:
Stand in front of a mirror, relax, and look at your hands. Count how many fingers you can see on each hand without changing your position? Do you see 3, 4 or all 5?
You should only be able to see your thumb and index finger. Your palms should be parallel and facing your hips. You should not be able to see the backs of your hands. If you do then your shoulders have rounded forward and your elbows and hands have followed. You are at risk for injury.

This article first appeared in the Grapevine newsletter written for the London Wine Fair.
You mean if it happens. Go on then, why is it so important?
Well, if it does go through it's possibly the greatest "if you can't beat them, join them" business moves of all time. It's also one of the bravest and jaw dropping when you look at what it potentially means for Booker and its traditional customer base. Booker after all is the king supplier to independent grocers, corner shops, local pubs and restaurants who publicly and privately castigate Tesco, and its like, for effectively driving them out of business. To them Tesco is the Dark Vader of the high street.
But what does the wine industry need to be concerned about?
It will take time for the shop floor and supply chain ramifications of such a deal to work their way through, but it shows how much the retail and supply chain landscape is changing. It also reveals the new, dynamic, open minded, rip up the rule book way of doing business that now exists within Tesco. And clearly even more so at Booker. But scratch below the headline and the deal actually makes brilliant business sense. It would give Tesco better control over that last final mile to its stores and customers. Be it supplying its own network of convenience stores or tapping in to Booker's own symbol presence through Premier, Londis and Budgens.
Yes, I've read the papers. Anything else?
But it means it would also be far better equipped to Amazon-style get goods to people's houses and business within minutes of ordering it. The deal means it would be able to use Booker's network of local depots, cash and carries and its fleet of vehicles that is the real DNA of the business. It is also surely finally proof that convenience, and getting goods and services to people in their homes as quickly and easily as possible, is now the most important retail nut to crack. The IGD, for example, predicts that by April 2019 sales from the convenience sector, discounters and the internet will be bigger than from supermarkets for the first time, collectively increasing sales by 56%.
Yes, but where does wine come in to it?
You and your wine. Sometimes it makes sense to look at the bigger picture than always thinking wine first. Yes, clearly any Tesco Booker deal would have massive implications for both the on and off-trades when it comes to their combined wine buying power, and the wines they go on to stock. But it also goes to the heart of the very different trading conditions we are all having to operate in.
What do you mean?
The trade is having to face up to a cocktail of outside influence and disruption that is harder to predict than normal. Wine businesses need to decide where they stand on a number of key issues. First up is whether they should remain wine businesses at all. We're not talking about throwing the towel in, but taking a long hard look at how consumers are behaving and what they are drinking, and whether trading only in wine is going to be the most successful trading model going forward. The continued rise in craft beer and premium spirits is having more of a disruptive influence on the wine category that many in the trade are willing to face up to. We might talk about wine drinkers, but consumers don't see themselves that way. Increasingly so considering the great alternatives there are now to wine.
So what changes are we seeing?
It's not just Tesco and Booker that are ripping up the rule book. It is striking how many wine distributors and suppliers are quietly diversifying in to new areas. Be it their own craft beers, spiritsor premium mixers, or setting up their own mini-event and tasting businesses. It is striking that the likes of Copestick Murray, WX Brands and Origin Wine, so often a barometer of where the trade is heading, are each launching products in one, two or all these areas. The Tesco and Booker deal is just confirmation of the continued growing pressure in both the on and off-trades to drive costs out of the supply chain. It makes sense that customers want to be handle fewer deliveries and deal with fewer suppliers. Many are now employing supply chain consultants to help them do just that.
If you are going to stick just to wine, then you need to be completely on top of your game to succeed as customers look increasingly to cut their number of suppliers or switch to one stop shops.
And the future?
It is why the Tesco and Booker deal is so important. It might not effect you immediately or even directly, but what it stands for and the reasons why it has come about are what everyone in the trade needs to understand to be able to face the hard trading conditions of 2017.

Cristiano Ronaldo's hat-trick heroics for Portugal against Spain sent football fans wild all over the world.
The Real Madrid superstar announced his arrival at the World Cup in Russia with an awesome display to earn his team a 3-3 draw in a thriller in Sochi.
MATCH REPORT: Portugal salvage a point against Spain
It didn't take long for Ronaldo to make his mark on the game, just four minutes in fact, when he was brought down by Nacho for a penalty.
Ronaldo was never going to let anyone else take the spot-kick and immediately took possession of the ball inside the Olympic Stadium.
He was ready to take the penalty under the glare of the floodlights but Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea had other ideas.
The Manchester United player left his goal line and approached the Ballon d'Or holder and stood inches from the ball on the spot.
Having been prevented from taking the penalty, Ronaldo kept calm as the referee ushered de Gea back to his position after his brief exchange with Ronaldo.
De Gea's attempts to put off the No.7 failed, though, as he was sent the wrong way and could only see the ball fly past him into the net.
Celebrating the opening goal, the Portugal captain sprinted to the corner flag before making an unusual gesture as he appeared to stroke his chin.
Fans on Twitter wondered what Ronaldo's actions meant but many were convinced it was a dig aimed at the bearded Red Devils shot-stopper after his mind games.
Was Ronaldo's celebration mugging off de Gea's beard??
— Paul Michael Maguire (@PMJMaguire) June 15, 2018
Bruh Ronaldo's celebration mocking De Gea's facial hair was great
— Garrison Stripling (@GarrisonStrips) June 15, 2018
Did Ronaldo just diss De Gea with that celebration?
— #CHAMP13NS 🏆⚽ (@waynoLOL) June 15, 2018
Looks like that celebration from Ronaldo after his first goal was also for De Gea. #WorldCup #PORESP
— Hassan. 🇩🇪 (@mhamirza) June 15, 2018
But there was another, perhaps more credible, theory: it was aimed at Lionel Messi as part of the never-ending 'greatest of all time' debate.
Messi recently took part in an Adidas campaign that featured photos of the Argentine star holding a goat.
Ronaldo, who is sponsored by Nike in what has been an extra layer to their rivalry, might not have taken too kindly to that.
Did Ronaldo just stroke his chin bcos he's the GOAT 🐐
— James Banton (@JamesBanton8) June 15, 2018
Did Ronaldo just imply he was the GOAT? What's with that chin scratch??? Loooool

Hello and welcome to the first blog post, exciting times! Haven't yet come up with a good reason for writing. I suppose it comes down to the fact that exams are round the corner and lets face it, we all look for some form of distraction/procrastination activity in these desperate times.
Last years obsession was Downton Abbey, this years is the (slightly more self-infatuated) obsession of blogging. So! Are you sitting comfortably? Good, then I'll begin.

Monster Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are here! You get a nice fluffy roll with a sweet strawberry filling and a smooth cream cheese frosting drizzled on top. These cinnamon rolls are so tasty and seriously ginormous.
I'm not even going to lie, I could not for the life of me get a good photo of these babies. This was my second attempt and the images don't do the recipe justice. Monster strawberry cinnamon rolls are very impressive and would be so perfect for a weekend brunch treat or maybe a Valentine's Day breakfast. Hint, hint… the day is rapidly approaching.
All good cinnamon rolls take a little bit of patience and time to make. These are no different. After preparing your dough, there is a wait time to be able to roll it out and then they need more time to rise more before cooking in the oven. Plus, making monster rolls like these you need to make sure the yeast has had time to fully activate and do its job or you won't be getting that wonderful fluffy texture. I used strawberry jam today combined with fresh strawberries. You can also swap the jam for pie filling, which I have done and turns out great, or you can make your own fresh strawberry sauce. If you choose to make your own strawberry sauce, make sure it is really thick because having something too runny could really ruin the filling.
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk and cheers to brunch time!
Monster Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
Yields: 6
- Cinnamon Rolls
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar

- Filling
- .5 cup strawberry jam
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 2 cups freshly diced strawberries
- Icing
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- .5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Gather ingredients, small sauce pan, baking pan, mixer with dough hook (can also use hands), knife, cutting board, hand mixer, measuring cups, whisk, small bowls, medium bowl, towel, and rolling pin.
- In a sauce pan, over medium heat add 3/4 cup milk and 1/3 cup butter. Whisk until boiling and remove from heat. Let cool to room temperature. Set to the side.
- Put the dough hook on your stand mixer and add 1.5 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1 package of the instant yeast. Mix for 3 minutes. You may also knead by hand if you wish.
- In a small bowl, add one egg and 1/4 cup water. Whisk well. Add to the dough mixture with another 1.5 cups flour and pour in the butter and milk mixture from earlier. Mix another 3 minutes. If the dough is too sticky at this point, add 1/4 -1/2 cup more flour and mix another minute.
- Remove the dough from mixture and place into a medium sized bowl with a towel over it. Let rise a minimal of 30 minutes.
- While the dough rises, begin your strawberry filling. Finely dice 2 cups of strawberries and press them slightly with a towel to get some water out. Drop them in a bowl. Add 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1 teaspoon sugar and .5 cup strawberry jam. Mix ingredients together and set to the side.
- Place a little bit of flour on a large working area surface. Drop the dough on top and use the rolling pin to make a rectangular shape at about .5 inch depth.
- Spread out your strawberry mixture over top.
- Roll up the dough into a log.
- Make 5 even cuts and place them into the baking pan. Cover with towel and let rise another 30 minutes minimal.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place the cinnamon rolls in oven covered in foil for 30 minutes. Remove foil and let cook another 10 minutes.
- While the cinnamon rolls finish cooking, make your frosting. In a small bowl, add 4 ounces of cream cheese, 3/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons butter and .5 teaspoon vanilla extract. Use the hand mixer to make the frosting a creamy consistency. Place the bowl in the microwave for one minute. Mix with a spoon and spread over cinnamon rolls when they come out of the oven.
- Serve and enjoy!
- Preparation time: 1.5 hours
- Cook time: 40 minutes

How did it take me so long to discover Instagram?? I'm still not sure, but I don't care. I'm in love. It was love at first sight... An app that can take my boring old iphone pics and turn them into something COOL??? Yes please! If you aren't familiar with Instagram - you can check out their website {HERE} and download the app {it's free!} and even read up on their blog. But to give you the rundown - it's basically an application for your smartphone that offers VERY simple {as in your three-year-old could do it with ease} editing options for your phone images. You can then post them and share them with friends, as well as automatically post to facebook etc. If you have a smartphone - check it out!! It's a fun way to take your pics to the next level.
Along with my new obsession came an idea that I'm SOOOO excited about!!! Beginning with February, I'm going to share each month "Instagram Style" - I can't share ALL of the pics I take each month because that would take up WAY too much space, but will force myself to narrow it down to my top 20. I thought it would be a fun way to get to know a different more personal side of Brandilyn Davidson. *WARNING: Probably 99.3% of my pictures are of my kiddos - so get used to seeing these sweet little faces!! =)
Here's the first month... Stay tuned at the end of each month for more!!!
I'd love to see what you're taking pictures of - you're welcome to add me on Instagram - queenbrandy17 {lame I know}. Happy Instagraming!!!!

Tuesday, 27 January 2015 04:09 PM
All told, the resurgent U.S. currency could shave up to $12 billion off U.S. companies' fourth-quarter 2014 revenue alone, according to currency expert Wolfgang Koester, the chief executive of FireApps, a data analytics company in Phoenix, Arizona that examines quarterly reports for currency related losses.
The pain is hitting multiple sectors including industrial companies such as DuPont and 3M Co., technology companies like Microsoft Corp. and Apple Inc. (set to report its earnings after Tuesday's market close), airlines such as American Airlines Group Inc. and healthcare companies including Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. and Pfizer Inc. — all companies that garner a large portion of their sales from outside the United States.
"This is a slow motion crash," said Kim Forrest, senior equity research analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group in Pittsburgh. It could take a couple of quarters for currency conversion losses to show up, she said.
After hitting a 6-1/2 month low in May, the dollar has surged nearly 20 percent against a basket of major currencies, making their overseas sales denominated in other currencies less valuable in dollar terms.
The stronger dollar can also make their products more expensive for consumers in other currencies and thus cut demand.
The Dow Jones industrial average, composed of large and well known companies excluding those in transportation and utilities, was hit especially hard by the disappointing results. Of the seven companies in the index that posted results following Monday's close, 6 were in negative territory, with only United Technologies showing a slight gain. The six decliners accounted for nearly 40 percent of the Dow's fall on Tuesday.
"You have companies who don't normally complain about (the dollar) who are starting to harp on it and it does make sense from an economic perspective that this would be a drag," said James Liu, global market strategist at JPMorgan Funds in Chicago. "It's really the pace that matters — not just whether it is strengthening or weakening."
The choice for multinationals is stark. They can keep customers loyal by maintaining overseas prices and take a revenue hit from a tough currency conversion to dollars, or raise prices and risk the loss of customers to cheaper local competitors in regions like Europe.
While many companies successfully use currency hedging to at least partly protect themselves against foreign exchange related losses, the speed and extent of recent fluctuations have made it more difficult to hedge accurately. This has also hurt Wall Street analysts' ability to estimate losses.
One of the worst hit companies so far appears to be chemicals giant E I Du Pont de Nemours and Co., which derives roughly 60 percent of its revenue from overseas sales. The strong dollar cut 7 cents per share off DuPont's fourth quarter earnings and it warned that 2015 earnings per share could be cut by 60 cents based on last week's currency rates.
Bristol-Myers said it expects foreign exchange rates to cut its 2015 revenue by $800 million and 12 to 14 cents in terms of earnings per share.
These impacts look even more abysmal when compared with the 1 cent per share currency impact target that multinationals set for their foreign exchange managers, according to FireApps.
American icon Apple Inc. is also at risk as it brings in roughly 62 percent of its revenue from overseas and had to temporarily close its online store in Russia in December due to dramatic currency fluctuations.
Currency could shave as much as $3 billion off Apple's 2015 revenue even if its aggressive hedging strategy may succeed in halving the impact, according to technology analyst Shannon Cross at Cross Research in Millburn, New Jersey.
Apple said in October that currency hedges only help for so long as contracts tend to span time frames as short as three months to as long as 12 months.
Shares in Microsoft, which gets nearly three-quarters of its revenue from overseas, fell 10.4 percent on Tuesday after it said it was hurt by the stronger dollar but gave no specifics.
Other big names citing currency headwinds so far in the earnings season include Johnson & Johnson and IBM.
Dollar strength already shaved at least $4 billion off U.S. corporate revenue in the third quarter, according to FireApps but it noted that losses may actually be a lot higher than this as many firms with currency losses did not previously disclose the amount.

From taking a horse carriage procession to buy a new iPhone for the X hours of waiting in the queue before the retail stores may open, the most expensive of Apple's iPhone were Indian supporters clamoring to buy it.
Tim Kuk has supported the company introduced the X iPhone in September of this year, to celebrate ten years of the launch of the first iPhone to Apple.
IPhone X was scheduled to be released in India on 3 November.
iPhone X sold out on Flipkart, Airtel Online Store, Tata CLiQ within minutes
But less than a week to sell iPhone X and websites and stores in stand-alone mode, flashing "not to stock" signs.
IPhone X was included in AirTel online store sold "within minutes", as in the report of India today said on Saturday.
Sales of iPhone X in retail stores see long lines of Apple fans who also went home disappointed, the report said.
Flipkart which also milked the launch of the new iPhone, to manage the sale on their Web sites do not currently have any of the iPhone X options for sale. Both versions iPhone X had rolled from the company's website.
Tata CLiQ, which announced pre-orders for iPhone X Friday night was also their stock sold out within a few minutes. phone will start shipping from November 7, the company said.
Online and offline retailers are now waiting for the new shares in the iPhone X, which will come only after a waiting period of two months, according to IANS report.
For analysts, iPhone X was to amortize the asset, and they advised people to better invest in mutual funds or money market.
Touted to be one of the "most expensive" phones ever created Apple, the company has released several proposals in association with online and offline retailers.

The Sciliar – Catinaccio Natural Park was established in 1974 and lies between Alpe di Siusi, Catinaccio and the Tires Valley. Visitors flock to the Park to admire its geological formations even more than its wealth of flora and fauna. Nowhere else in the Dolomites is the history of the mountains more tangible as it is here. It is no coincidence that the rock with its coral structure is called "Sciliar dolomite". During the Ice Age, the Sciliar plateau rose above the ice flows and this explains why we can find endemic plant life such as the Alpine bellflower and the tufted horned rampion, with its beautiful shape and colours. The Park's Visitor Centre is located in Bagni di Lavina Bianca (1173 m) in an ancient sawmill powered by a water wheel. In the village the waters from a hot spring with beneficial properties are put to good use. A short distance away is the Nigra Pass (1688 m), offering a stunning viewpoint: the Nigra refuge is the starting point for the excursion to the traditional Hanicker dairy.

Acts 12:1-13:15 New International Version (NIV)
Peter's Miraculous Escape From Prison
12 It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2 He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. 3 When he saw that this met with approval among the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Festival of Unleavened Bread. 4 After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover.
5 So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.
6 The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance. 7 Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. "Quick, get up!" he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists.
8 Then the angel said to him, "Put on your clothes and sandals." And Peter did so. "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me," the angel told him. 9 Peter followed him out of the prison, but he had no idea that what the angel was doing was really happening; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10 They passed the first and second guards and came to the iron gate leading to the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went through it. When they had walked the length of one street, suddenly the angel left him.
11 Then Peter came to himself and said, "Now I know without a doubt that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from Herod's clutches and from everything the Jewish people were hoping would happen."
12 When this had dawned on him, he went to the house of Mary the mother of John, also called Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying. 13 Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. 14 When she recognized Peter's voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, "Peter is at the door!"
15 "You're out of your mind," they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, "It must be his angel."
16 But Peter kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. 17 Peter motioned with his hand for them to be quiet and described how the Lord had brought him out of prison. "Tell James and the other brothers and sisters about this," he said, and then he left for another place.
18 In the morning, there was no small commotion among the soldiers as to what had become of Peter. 19 After Herod had a thorough search made for him and did not find him, he cross-examined the guards and ordered that they be executed.
Herod's Death
Then Herod went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king's country for their food supply.
21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22 They shouted, "This is the voice of a god, not of a man." 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and flourish.
Barnabas and Saul Sent Off
25 When Barnabas and Saul had finished their mission, they returned from[a] Jerusalem, taking with them John, also called Mark. 13 1 Now in the church at Antioch there were prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch) and Saul. 2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3 So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off.
On Cyprus
4 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. 5 When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper.
6 They traveled through the whole island until they came to Paphos. There they met a Jewish sorcerer and false prophet named Bar-Jesus, 7 who was an attendant of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus. The proconsul, an intelligent man, sent for Barnabas and Saul because he wanted to hear the word of God. 8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for that is what his name means) opposed them and tried to turn the proconsul from the faith. 9 Then Saul, who was also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked straight at Elymas and said, 10 "You are a child of the devil and an enemy of everything that is right! You are full of all kinds of deceit and trickery. Will you never stop perverting the right ways of the Lord? 11 Now the hand of the Lord is against you. You are going to be blind for a time, not even able to see the light of the sun."
Immediately mist and darkness came over him, and he groped about, seeking someone to lead him by the hand. 12 When the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, for he was amazed at the teaching about the Lord.
In Pisidian Antioch
13 From Paphos, Paul and his companions sailed to Perga in Pamphylia, where John left them to return to Jerusalem. 14 From Perga they went on to Pisidian Antioch. On the Sabbath they entered the synagogue and sat down. 15 After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent word to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have a word of exhortation for the people, please speak."

On Saturday evening just after 7:30 p.m the Stanton County Sheriff's office responded to and investigated a one vehicle rollover accident that critically injured a 44 year old Stanton woman.
The accident occurred on Grandview Avenue just south of Old Hwy 8 near the Off Road Ranch, east of Norfolk when a southbound SUV driven by Mayra Martinez-De-Molina left the roadway and entered the east ditch and rolled end over end several times ejecting De-Molina out of the sunroof.
She was treated on scene by Norfolk Fire and Rescue and then flown directly to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City by LifeNet medical helicopter.
Speed appears to be a contributing factor and no restraints were in use. Initial reports that a second person may have been ejected were fortunately found to be incorrect.
Stanton County Emergency Management and the Madison County Sheriff's office assisted on scene.

Autoplay video is having a huge impact on Internet access networks, and also likely is going to shape end user behavior in ways beyond new concerns about uncontrollable bandwidth usage.
Over the 12 months preceding September 2014, Facebook traffic increased by 60 percent on the mobile network, and by over 200 percent on the fixed network, driven mainly by the addition of autoplay video to the Facebook feed, according to Sandvine.
Autoplay on Instagram and many other sites probably is having similar effects, namely increasing data consumption in an involuntary way.
Users probably are starting to shut off audio when working in quiet places, or all the time. People might start reducing or avoiding some sites that are aggressive about autoplay video. Demand for third party apps to disable such features are going to become more popular.
Here are some ways to disable autoplay in your browser.

Now, there were a lot of crazy people hanging around St. Louis around this time. One of these jokers, Ed, was always hanging out in the graveyards, digging up dead bodies. Now, I had taken a job as night watchman at the graveyard, so old Ed and I made friends quickly. He told me he was visiting from Wisconsin, so I invited him over to dinner at my house the next night. That turkey was real crazy. He came over to my house wearing a woman's dress and a mask made from the face of a what? Corpse! Man, I told that joker to come on in!
Now, after I killed my parents, I helped myself to their remains. I was a very resourceful boy, and after I had completely stripped their bones of meat, I set to work redecorating my house. I made soup bowls out of their skulls, and chairs out of their bones! I used their skins as window curtains, and splashed the walls with their what? Blood. I could tell by the look on old Ed's face that he was very impressed. I told him to take a seat, and then I rushed into the other room to change into some more appropriate clothing. I took my mother's finest dress from her closet, and my father's face from his closet. I joined Ed in the other room, and we laughed and laughed. I told him all about how I had killed and eaten my parents that Thanksgiving Day. He told me that he had never killed anybody, and was relatively new to the grave robbing what? Profession. I told that turkey to stick with it, and that with luck, he could be killing jokers left and right by the end of the year.
Now, I think that this was just the encouragement that Ed needed. We started going grave robbing together every few days. We had a lot of fun, but all good things must come to an end. A few months later, he told me that he was returning to Wisconsin. I wished him luck, and we parted company. He told me to visit him anytime I was in the what? Area.
Now, a couple years later, I made it up to Wisconsin to see old Ed. Man, that turkey stole my idea! Now, when I arrived, he wasn't home, so I climbed in through the window. I was shocked to see that he had decorated his house just like mine. When Ed got home, I gave that joker a good talking to. He apologized for stealing my ideas, and I told him "I forgive you, Ed." I stayed at his house for dinner, man, that joker knows how to cook. We had a great time that day. Then, later that evening, from a nearby hotel, I called the police on that jive turkey and had him arrested. A few years later, I heard that old Ed got sentenced to death. I laughed and laughed.
Now, around this time, I decided I should do some traveling. I had lived in St. Louis all my life, and I had never seen any of the wonders of the world, wonders such as Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas CIty, Kansas. I had just graduated from high school, and my future was wide what? Open. The following day, I packed my bags and I was off to see the world.
Now, I had really wanted to see Kansas City, Missouri and Kansas City, Kansas. Unfortunately though, when I went outside, I found that my van had been what? Stolen, so I decided I'd go to the hamburger joint down the street instead. They made good hamburgers down there. As I sat there though, shoving one hamburger after another into my what? Mouth, I couldn't stop thinking about my van. Who had stolen it? Why had they stolen it? Why wouldn't they give it back? These questions lingered in my mind for the next few days, when I eventually decided to do something about it. Boy, I threw that hamburger down onto the ground, ran home as fast as I could, and set to work on my costume. I was to become a superhero. Dedidcated to killing criminals and rescuing my van, I was to become Lard what? Lad!
Now, I stayed up all night, dying all my spandex clothing maroon. Early the next morning, I headed down to the neighborhood Irish pub in hope of finding a sidekick. I saw all my old friends there, Pattie O'Sullivan, Stinky McGurk, Timmy O'Toole. But I saw a new face there that day, a little man dressed all in green, sitting in the corner drinking boilermakers like there was no tomorrow. "Ay, ye fat bastard," he said, standing up on his barstool, "are ye looking for a sidekick to fight crime and find your van are ye? Are ye? Eh? Ye fat bastard>" He was exactly what I had been looking for in a sidekick. "Ay, my name's Lucky, ye fat bastard. Lucky the Leprechaun."
Now, I could see right away that this was the perfect match. I knew we were destined for loads of fun and adventure as a crime-fighting duo. "My name is Mr. Long. As a superhero, I call myself Lard Lad."
Now, Lucky was never too nice to me. He right away shot back, with "Ay, would ye like me to give ye a prize, ye fat bastard?"
"Now, you see here, Lucky. My van was stolen, just when I was about to go off and explore the world. I would have seen many wonders such as Kansas City, Missouri, and Kansas City, what? Kansas. I now may have no chance of ever seeing these wonders of the world, so I am instead dedicating my life to fighting crime. I need a partner, and I think you, as the spunky half-pint who can drink like a sailor and fight like a marmot, would be the perfect sidekick for me. Will you help me fight crime, Lucky?"
Now, Lucky was a tricky one. He was always reluctant to commit. "Ay, ye fat bastard. Maybe I'll fight crime with ye. I must first talk it over with me wife. I don't know if she'll like the idea of it." I told him I'd come back this time tomorrow. I could count on Lucky not getting home to his wife for some time to come. Why, it was only 5 AM. Most Irishmen drank right up until three in the afternoon. Then it was off to bed for a couple hours, until 5 PM, when the drinking day started anew. I looked in the phonebook to find Lucky's address. I rushed over to his house; I knew that his wife would still be asleep at this hour. I climbed in through the window, very careful not to tip myself off. I crept into Lucky's wife's room very quietly, pulled out my revolver, and shot her in the face. Now I was sure that Lucky would be my partner, he now had something to fight crime for.
Now, I remember the days when I had no motivation to fight crime. I owned a van in those days. It was a good van. Its color, much like that of any red-blooded American's heart, was a healthy maroon. It was the first automobile to carry the weight I had to tow. But the days of my vane were what? Gone. I was now left alone, without a van, much like that jive turkey Lucky was now without a what? Wife.
Now, early the next morning I headed back down to the pub where I had met Lucky the day before, only to find a stunted Irishman in tears before me. "Ay, ye fat bastard," Lucky said, "me wife, she's dead! I came home yesterday afternoon only to find the dead body of me dear wife in me bed! Some bastard shot her in the face!" I tried to console Lucky. "Ay, ye said, "I will help ye in your crusade against crime. I must avenge the death of me wife." My plan had what? Worked. I was so happy that I bought a round of boilermakers for everyone in the bar. "Hooray!" we all cried.
Now, Lucky was unemployed. The only money their family brought in came from his wife, a local schoolmarm, now deceased. Lucky spent his lonely days in the pub for the next few weeks, until he ran out of money. He was now penniless and sober. I felt sorry for that joker, so I let him live in my parents� room. After all, he was my sidekick.
Now, the next few weeks living with Lucky were tough. He was always drinking my whiskey, eating my bacon, and stinking like an Irishman. That joker never even showered. I had to get away from that turkey, so I spent most of my time in my garage. Now that my van had been stolen, I no longer had any use for it as an automobile receptacle, so I was to transform it into my secret what? Headquarters. The next day I headed downtown to purchase a red telephone and a pole. I had decided that the red telephone and the pole were essential what? Items in a secret headquarters. Even though my garage was not below my house, many crimefighters have to make sacrifices; we would have to climb onto the garage�s roof whenever trouble called, just to slide down the pole into our secret headquarters. Lucky and I debated the secrecy of this headquarters, as any criminals in the area would see us sliding down the pole into our garage. I told that jive turkey to shut up and get me some what? Cereal. The red telephone, of course, would be known as the LongPhone, which the Commissioner would call whenever crime broke out. To inform the Commissioner of our deal, I called him on my brand new red telephone. I told him of my plan to fight crime, and I asked him to telephone me whenever crime broke out. "Ayy, Mr. Long, why don�t we leave the policin� to the police eh, ye fat bastard." The commissioner and I never got along too well, but that couldn�t get in the what? Way of my mission, to fight crime and find my van. Without the commissioner on my side, the red telephone wouldn�t do me too much good as a crime fighter. So, I decided that if I couldn�t be a crime fighter, I�d do the next best thing: Make prank calls!
Now, when I decided to give up as a crime fighter, Lucky was still in the kitchen drinking whiskey. I decided that, as my sidekick, he had a right to be the second to know about my decision. I went into the kitchen, and, with a solemn look in my eye, told him, "Lucky, I�m afraid our dreams of fighting crime have been shot down in flames. I have realized that it will be very difficult for us as crime fighters, so I have decided to give it up. But�" At this point, Lucky had already burst into tears. "Ayy, but what about me wife, I must avenge her death, and you must find your van! We can�t give up now! Me poor wife, she�s dead, and we�ll never have her back!"
"Now, you shut up, Lucky, I was the one to kill your wife so you would help me fight crime. Just hear me out. I have good news too. We�re not going to fight crime, but we are going to make prank calls!" At this, Lucky�s eyes lit up. "Ayy, prank calls?" "Yes Lucky, prank calls are our new calling in life. Will you join me?"
Now, it seemed as though I had just made Lucky�s day. "Ayy, ye fat bastard, of course I�ll join ye! Prank calls, why that�s the reason I came over here from Ireland! You know, they�re illegal over there!" I told him, "Well, you don�t have to worry about that here, Lucky, prank calls are perfectly legal in America."
Now, as I had told you before, these were crazy times in St. Louis, and apparently I wasn�t familiar with all the laws. Lucky and I went hog wild for the next few weeks, prank calling hundreds of citizens a week, until one day, we heard someone knocking on the door. At this current time I was in a seated what? Position, so I told Lucky to go get the door. Lucky headed over to the front door and found two policemen at the front door. "Ayy, good marrnin� officers, what seems to be the trouble?"
Now, unfortunately for Lucky, he was beaten severely by the what? police. We were taken downtown to the police station, where we would get one phone call each. Now, Lucky and I were hatching up trouble once again. "Ayy, one phone call te anyone, officer?" The officer told him that if he made another prank call with his one phonecall, he would be in for another severe beating. "Ayy, ay. �Twas never me intention, good officer. I was merely askin� fer me good friend over here, Mr. Long."
"Now, you shut up Lucky, nobody asked you! Now go get me some what? Cereal!" Lucky always carried around a box of Lucky Charms cereal. That crazy bastard claimed that the leprechaun on the what? Box was based on him. Of course, I told that joker that there were probably dozens of leprechauns named Lucky out there, but he never gave up. I didn�t care though, those Lucky Charms tasted great with a little what? Whiskey and lard.
Now, the following week, the trial of old Lucky and I began. We were unable to find anybody who would post bail for us, after all, I had killed my parents as a young boy, and Lucky�s wife was shot in the face by me a few months earlier. We were unable to afford a decent lawyer, and we were looking at a huge prison sentence. Luckily though, I was offered immunity if I would what? Rat out Lucky. I testified to every crime I had ever known Lucky to commit, including such crimes as the shooting of his wife in the face and the murder and consumption of my parents. It was brought to the attention of the judge that I had already served my time for the murder and consumption of my parents, and that that case was already closed. I pointed out that I was wrongfully accused of that crime, and that Lucky said he would kill me if I didn�t confess to the crime myself. Lucky was sentenced to 2 consecutive life sentences, while I was let off with a small fine and a warning. When Lucky was brought up to testify, that joker had a different what? Story, but everyone knows what? Never to trust the what? Irish.

A recent indiewire podcast, starring Anne Thompson and Eric Kohn talk about Anne's experience at CinemaCon 2017. According to Anne, CinemaCon, located in Las Vegas, is intended to have theatre owners are sitting in a colosseum, and each studio is putting on a show. The marketing of the movies is part of what the exhibitors need to do to sell to their customers. Watching the new stuff they haven't seen before they are calculating what the movies will be that work for them. The studios, such as fox looks very strong right now and put on the best shows. Warner brothers, sony, and paramount on the other hand are in transition and put on a different kind of show. Disney is on the top of the food chain and have the biggest number. One thing that is interesting is that according to Anne, you make the most money through theaters. With the new phase of streaming with Netflix, etc, I agree and find it interesting that with all of the news focused on other outlets, Theatre's continue to have the biggest impact today.

King County Sheriff Mitzi Johanknecht thanks Urquhart for his service
When King County's new sheriff was sworn into office on Tuesday she took the time to thank her predecessor, despite the contentious race.
RELATED: King County sheriff candidate calls out leadership
Mitzi Johanknecht, a 33-year veteran of the King County Sheriff's Department, took the upset victory in the November election to oust former Sheriff John Urquhart.
Urquhart was plagued with allegations of sexual misconduct and accused of creating a toxic work environment through threats of retaliation. Urquhart denied all of the allegations, claiming they were politically motivated.
Urquhart wasn't at the swearing-in ceremony, but that didn't stop Johanknecht from taking a moment to acknowledge her predecessor.
"I also want to take a moment to thank Sheriff Urquhart for his five years of service and his commitment to the sheriff's office. I didn't want the day to pass without acknowledging that and him."
Johanknecht says she's reached out to Urquhart during the transition to becoming sheriff.
"I've tried to speak to him, I've reached out by phone and email, but I've received nothing back."
She says she's had plenty of other helpful insight.
"I've gotten great help from other people in the organization and so I think that that's what's been important in helping us transition and get ready inside the department. And now, as the sheriff, I can work with the county executive more fully, the county council, the prosecutor's office, and others to make sure that we're holistically solving problems for King County."
Johanknecht is clear about her priorities as she takes over command of the King County Sheriff's Office.
"So, my priorities are getting really engaged with the community, [and] working on community outreach so that we can initiate community advisory councils [to] help us build our strategic plans. But just to get to know the people all over King County because each community is separate and individual and has their own kind of ebb and flow to them."
Johanknecht says community outreach was happening under the prior leadership, but not the way she plans to do it.
"I think it was happening just at one level. My mission is to be out in the community and have from deputies on up re-engaged totally in the community in our public safety efforts, and that includes making sure people feel confident and safe coming to talk to us and share with us so that we can better learn by listening."
Related: 'Bogus allegations' were politically motivated, says Urquhart
Being a good listener is a common theme for the sheriff both inside the department and out on the streets, including when it comes to trying to help close the divide between police and communities of color, she says.
"I think the start is reaching out to the communities and just listening. In talking to the communities during the campaign what I found was that they know the barriers that are keeping community members from being involved in law enforcement, wanting to be cops, right? So that's the starting place, help us overcome those barriers and we don't know without listening."
And Johanknecht has strong opinions on some of the big issues affecting law enforcement, including Initiative 940, which would require specific mental health and de-escalation training for all cops in the state.
"I was the first announced law enforcement officer in favor of I-940, I've worked with the I-940 team. It gets us mandated training that helps us get the training funded, that gets deputies de-escalation training, more crisis intervention training, and other training that will help them really manage and do their jobs better day to day."
And unlike many in law enforcement, she supports the part of I-940 that removes the requirement to prove malice when prosecuting police for use of deadly force cases.
"It takes malice out, but it also gives us a real clear understanding about what good faith is, and so it has that objective and subjective test of good faith and I think that those of us that operate in good faith will be fine with the wording change in the law. You hear a lot about malice, but the focus for me is we're still going to do our job how we do it and do it with good faith, but the training piece is essential to helping us be better at what we do every day."
And even without I-940, the sheriff has some of her own new training plans for deputies.
"A lot of the training initiatives I was pushing on during the campaign the former sheriff had started, which is good. But one of the things I'm looking forward to is having another — less lethal tool — option for us. Those tools are delivered to the sheriff's office and we will be able to deploy them shortly, by February if not sooner."
Another major issue in the law enforcement community is the possibility of opening safe injection sites. The county council wants two in King County. But the sheriff says that's dangerous.
"I've been against safe injection sites. I still am. We still need to talk about and explain to law enforcement what their role is around these and how we go about our business. I'm majorly concerned with re-victimization of folks that are coming in to use the sites and leave … the potential for re-victimization is there. I've heard from women who have been involved in and escaped from human trafficking and one of their concerns is that that could be, as users, very risky for those people that might get reintroduced into human trafficking."
In other words, human traffickers could lurk around the sites to recruit victims.
Johanknecht also stands with her predecessor when it comes to asking people about their immigration status — she's against it. Johanknecht says doing it is a huge deterrent to getting people to report crime and talk to law enforcement.
Though she's got more than 30 years on the force, including several command positions like being the first female to lead the department's SWAT team, Johanknecht admits the politics of her new gig are a little new to her.
"I'm a new politician so that was a real learning experience during the course of the campaign. But what I found is that just listening to people and talking to people and getting out there, that's the fun of campaigning. It was really amazing, an energy of talking to the public and hearing about what they need. That's inspiring."
And it's that inspiration she plans to take with her to the job — to be there for both the community and the officers.

The Twin Cities - Milwaukee - Chicago Second Train. It would be a second daily round trip passenger train providing a more reliable, more frequent, more convenient transportation alternative.

Your involvement is vital to making expanded passenger rail services along the River Route a reality.
Support for Passenger Rail Options:
Tinne Says:
I would use another daily trip between the Twin Cities and Chicago to bring my daughter home after a morning exam in Chicago.
Minnesota High-Speed Rail News
Could DFL victories bring passenger rail improvements to Minnesota? Maybe. High-speed rail? Probably not.
Ramsey County still hopeful about a second daily passenger train from Chicago to the Twin Cities
Additional Twin Cities-Chicago rail service viable, study finds
MnDOT Provides Update on TCMC Second Train Progress
Legislative Update: No Funds for the Second Train
Travel Demand is High
More than a million people travel annually between Chicago and the Twin Cities by air; more than 10 million by car. Those numbers are growing, and it's no wonder. Minnesota is home to 20 Fortune 500 companies, and the number of jobs in the Twin Cities metropolitan area is expected to grow by 34 percent by 2040.
Offering a Transportation Alternative
Imagine a safe, reliable, convenient, comfortable, productive trip from the Twin Cities to Chicago. One where you avoid traffic jams and road construction. One where you avoid long security lines and tarmac delays. One where you are free to get up and move about the cabin anytime you would like. Read, work, visit with family and friends. We propose to add a second daily round trip train, the TCMC Second Train, to complement Amtrak® Empire Builder service. Another train now is a great first step toward more frequent and faster passenger rail service in the future.
Travelling by Passenger Rail is Great
We just mentioned many reasons why passenger rail is a great alternative to flying or driving. But theres more! Stations are in downtown, not way out in the suburbs, and there are connections to other modes of transportation to get you the last mile or two to your destination. See our benefits page to learn more.

I love the concept as it again uses the power of the crowd and it helps to make people more helpful with each other. I went through the website myself and it needs to work quickly on verification and guaranteed delivery. Because, with these things the most important thing is trust and safety. Also the insurance idea is a good one! I hope this actually get picked up!

Afta berbuka tadi aku kena telan ubat alahan..Apasal?
Pasal eczema ...
Aku adalah penghidap eczema yang mana selalunya dihidapi oleh penghidap asma atau sesiapa yang pernah ada sejarah asma dan ada juga disebabkan keturunan...
Aku kena eczema kat tangan, dan disebabkan dua hari ni dok berbuka dengan Cha Kue Tiaw yang ada kerang dan udang, benda tu gedik nak gatal2 lak dan muncul atas kulit tanganku...
Here I got some info for those who dont know about Eczema..
What is Eczema?
The meaning of the word "eczema" can cause confusion. Many people use this word to refer to a common skin condition called atopic dermatitis. When this is the meaning, the words "eczema/atopic dermatitis" may be used.
The word "eczema" also has a more general meaning. Eczema can mean a family of skin conditions that causes the skin to become swollen, irritated, and itchy.
Many skin conditions are considered a type of eczema. Atopic dermatitis is one type. Other types include hand dermatitis, nummular dermatitis, and seborrheic dermatitis. Dandruff is a mild type of seborrheic dermatitis. Diaper rash and the rash that many people get after coming into contact with poison ivy are other types of eczema.
What Eczema Looks Like
Jewelry can irritate the skin, causing the skin to become red and irritated. This woman developed a type of eczema called allergic contact dermatitis.
Adermatitis, a common type of eczema that usually begins by age 5.
Nummular dermatitis is a type of eczema that causes coin-shaped lesions on the skin.
What Causes Eczema?
What causes some types of eczema is clear-cut. One type of eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, develops after frequent exposure to a mild irritant such as a detergent or brief exposure to a strong irritant such as battery acid. Another type, allergic contact dermatitis develops when an allergen (substance to which a person is allergic) touches the skin. Common allergens include poison ivy and nickel. A nickel allergy is actually one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis. Many everyday objects contain nickel, including coins, buttons, jewelry, and eyeglass frames.
The exact cause of other types of eczema is not fully understood. Researchers believe that atopic dermatitis develops when many factors combine. These factors include inheriting certain genes, having an overactive immune system, and having something that dermatologists call a "barrier defect." A barrier defect is a term that means "gaps in the skin." These gaps allow the skin to lose water too quickly. The gaps also allow germs and other things too small to see with the naked eye to enter the body.
Seborrheic dermatitis is another type of eczema that seems to develop when a number of factors interact. These factors include the person's genes, yeast that live on human skin, stress, climate, and overall general health. Research shows that seborrheic dermatitis tends to be severe in people who have the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). This indicates that the person's immune system plays a role.
How do Dermatologists Diagnose Eczema?
If your dermatologist suspects any type of eczema, the doctor will take a complete medical history, ask about your (or your child's) symptoms, and examine your (or your child's) skin. This provides enough information to accurately diagnose many types of eczema.
If there are telltale signs that this is an allergic reaction, your dermatologist may order a test called the "patch test." Patch testing can help identify everyday substances to which a person is allergic.
Sometimes eczema can be easy to diagnose, but a challenge to treat. Teaming up with a dermatologist can help.

Leadership Insights
Success Strategies from Pakistani Business Leaders
Undoubtedly, there are certain core qualities that a successful leader must have in order to be successful. However, running a business organization in developing countries is far more complex than in the more developed nations of the west. On balance, everything from the basic facilities such as uninterrupted electricity, the ability to enforce your legal rights and the general law and order situation, are all pretty much taken for granted in the western world.
Book Theme: Developing Future Leaders
Language: English
Target Audience: Aspiring CEOs, Young professionals, Students
"Leadership is essential in all fields of endeavor. This book draws heavily on the practical experience of Pakistan's successful business leaders but the principles articulated are universal. A must read book for business leaders."
Richard Gardner
Managing Director Sollertia, International Pty Ltd Australia
""Amer and Qaiser have come up with a winner... leadership 101, in a localized context. This is a MUST for anyone expecting to be in charge of others: ALL business owners and managers.""
Michael Hardy
Business Growth Strategist, Australia
"Leadership Insights provides a compelling mixture of classic leadership principles and of successful approaches to tackle the peculiar business challenges of Pakistan.""
Yusuf Hussain
Managing Director LMKR
"Despite the developing nature of the Pakistan economy and unique challenges it holds, the unwavering commitment by the best leaders and management in business to their businesses and employees is universal. This book provides great insight and access to a leadership movement we don't get to see.""
Grant Slater
Managing Director, Bentleys Canberra—Chartered Accountants, Australia
"'Leadership Insights' is undoubtedly a good endeavor to unravel the secrets of leadership hidden in the success stories of Pakistani context. All young professionals and managers aspiring to be great leaders must grab a copy as a guidebook. It is easier to understand and a companion to their own leadership insight. ""
