Chapter OneWhat Is Talent Leadership?
In today's global economy, it is critically important that organizations optimize their investment in human capital. Only the human capital asset can provide an organization with any real hope for meaningful market differentiation, positive branding, superior execution, and ultimate operating success. Business strategies that are overly weighted toward developing new technologies or cost controls—for example, without the proper weighting of the human capital assets required to execute strategy—will result in a disastrous, short-lived plan that will lead to doom. All assets, except the human capital asset, eventually become commodities. Beyond this, a host of external factors—an aging baby boomer population, job market instability, declining birthrates, and worker "migration"—are combining to make it extremely challenging for organizations to optimize their investment in human capital. For most organizations, it is just plain difficult to find and keep good talent. Shifting world demographics, the aging workforce, and global mobility, as well as a myriad of internal challenges (i.e., limited resources, skill gaps, insufficient leadership skills, etc.) are forcing organizations to rethink their human capital management strategy. Talent shortages at the leader level are exacting a heavy toll on growth and costs. Some organizations are literally sitting on capital, unable to expand into new markets or make critical acquisitions, due to a lack of leadership talent. Other organizations are spending millions on recruitment as they scramble to fill key positions. The cost of training new managers and executives is equally taxing. Of greatest concern are the costs of poor decision making as organizations are forced to place less qualified individuals into leadership positions. Poor leadership can translate into millions in lost profits and missed opportunities.
The Search for Solutions
What can be done to reverse these trends? Clearly, organizations need outstanding high-potential identification and development programs. Every process from succession planning to leadership development must be world-class. The market is too competitive for anything less. More than anything else, however, an organization's ability to successfully reverse these trends is in direct proportion to the health and vibrancy of their talent management systems, that is, the four D's:
Deployment—selecting and promoting talent
Diagnosis—continuously assessing leader, individual contributor, and team capability
Development—continuously developing leader, individual contributor, and team capability
Demarcation—differentiating and rewarding performance
None of this will occur, however, unless organizations and their leaders demonstrate talent leadership. Specifically:
Organizations (and their leaders) must believe that the human capital asset is the most critical variable in driving operating excellence. Everyone must be enlisted, coached, and cajoled (if needed) in support of this belief.
Organizations and their leaders encounter numerous challenges—external and internal—that are tied to the four D's. If unresolved, these challenges will exact a significant toll on the health and vibrancy of an organization's performance.
Clear, convincing, and powerful relationships exist between an organization's operating results and the relative strength of their four D's. Top -performing firms and their leaders understand, respect, and act on these relationships.
There are also clear and proven predictive relationships between certain human capital Leading Indicators and their impact on individual and team performance as well as operating results. Likewise, the top firms and leaders understand, respect, and act on these relationships.
The foundation for continuously improving these Leading Indicators consists of assessment and calibration. Organizations that excel in selecting, promoting, and developing talent will rigorously and passionately assess Leading Indicators. Assessments geared to leaders, individual contributors, and teams enable calibration and recalibration on the Leading Indicators so that they can course-correct and improve their ability to predict and realize operating success.
Elements of a Winning Human Capital Mindset
At the core of creating a winning mindset and strategy is a core belief: Accurate information drives effective strategies. This is good news for most organizations because they already have a great appreciation for accurate information. Operating metrics, financial ratios, and a variety of other analytic tools receive intense attention by boards and senior leadership. Unfortunately, most of these metrics are lagging indicators—after-the-fact metrics that tell a story of what happened (e.g., cost per hire and turnover). They are important because they can lead to course correction as the organization strategizes for the future; however, they are not as important as Leading Indicators—like leader capability and quality of hire/promotion—which are proven predictors of operating results. Early measurement of Leading Indicators enables an organization to course-correct much earlier if necessary to ensure operating goals are met.
Being accurate (only as a result of assessment) must begin with the end in mind. Organizations and their leaders need to define the desired future state along with the competencies required to execute both the current and future strategy. Organizations that excel in human capital/talent management practices are passionately and diligently focused on operational targets as well as the knowledge, skills, and abilities (i.e., competencies) required to meet those targets for every position—CEO, senior leaders, leaders, managers, individual contributors, and teams. And that's just the beginning. From there, it is critical to be calibrated on the competencies that both incumbents (from CEO to individual contributor) and external candidates possess (only as a result of assessment). Ultimately, only accurate targets and talent/team diagnostics enable an organization to make the best selection and promotion decisions, training decisions, succession planning decisions, and reward decisions.
All assessment—whether directed at isolating competencies, determining CEO and senior leader readiness, determining potential, or determining team effectiveness and engagement levels—needs to be focused on providing better information, that is, Leading Indicator information, as a basis for improved decision making. Not unlike the field of medicine, in the field of talent management, it is not too far from the truth to state, "Prescription before diagnosis is malpractice." If leaders can lead their managers and teams on a rewarding journey—characterized by a passionate and diligent focus on assessment and the power that assessment information yields—such a journey will provide a solid foundation for other critical beliefs and practices to emerge. These beliefs and practices are shared by organizations with superior human capital/talent management processes:
Better talent = competitive advantage.
The human capital mindset is the catalyst for action.
Strengthening the talent pool is every leader's job.
The talent gold standard has been established (by means of role modeling).
Leaders must be held accountable for identifying and developing talent.
Real money must be invested in talent management.
Talent review processes, including the C-suite, are critical.
All of these beliefs should be the catalyst for action—positive action. According to McKinsey's War for Talent Research, however, the actual percentage of organizations engaged in positive human capital practices is very startling—and is easily traceable to a relatively weak human capital mindset and poor execution. Here are the percentages of senior leaders who strongly agreed their own organization did the following:
Attracts talented people 19 percent
Develops talent 3 percent
Retains talent 8 percent
Removes poor performers 3 percent
Knows the A, B, and C players 16 percent
External and Internal Challenges
Aging baby boomers, declining birthrates, and volatility in the job market are combining to raise the stakes in the human capital market. Global competition for talent, especially leadership talent, is intense. Leadership shortages are more pronounced in growing markets such as India and China. Finding leaders in these markets with experience in Western corporate culture is proving difficult, with many organizations competing for the same small population of individuals. On the flip side, finding U.S. leaders with global experience is proving almost as challenging. In one recent study conducted by Executive Development Associates, globalization was rated fourth as a cause for today's leadership shortages. The first? A lack of needed skills. By extension, talent shortages clearly exist at every level of an organization, both in quantity and quality. Beyond the external factors, significant internal challenges make it extremely difficult for CEOs, the senior team, managers, individual contributors, and human resources to believe in and execute a winning human capital/talent management system. As stated earlier, these challenges are tied to the four D's of your human capital/talent management processes: Deployment, Diagnosis, Development, and Demarcation. The following challenges, if left unresolved, will exact a significant toll on your organization's performance. That said, an organization's ability to successfully combat these issues is in direct proportion to the strength of their human capital/talent management processes.
Deployment Challenges
Not recruiting, selecting, or promoting based on the competencies required for success
Aging workforce—concerns about bench strength
Variable selection ratios—either "too many" or "too few" candidates available per job opportunity
Talent shortages
The need to improve selection/promotion accuracy—new-hire ROI
Turnover issues—inadequate talent and/or fit issues
Too many interviews—cost, inaccuracy, and legal exposure
High-potentials are not identified and/or are identified inaccurately
Succession issues
Selection/promotion instruments not able to measure Capability, Commitment, and Alignment
The prevailing inaccurate belief: "The best predictor of future performance is past performance"
Instruments of questionable validity, reliability, and job relevance
Diagnostic Challenges
Skill and talent gaps
Bench strength issues
Need for better ROI on leaders, teams, and individual contributors
Disengagement issues
Turnover issues
Inadequate or no internal (or external) reference points for calibrating leader, individual contributor, and team Capability, Commitment, and Alignment
Assessment instruments currently not aligned well with the target competencies required for success
Assessment instruments that do not provide accurate diagnostic information—relative to strengths and developmental needs, behavioral feedback, and performance development recommendations
Multiple diagnostic tools not utilized (i.e., multirater, objective assessments, interviews, minisurveys)
Development Challenges
Discrepant information (i.e., where perceived assessments of actual performance factors disagree with objective assessments of the same performance factors) not uncovered, discussed, and leveraged
Training and development not linked to competencies
Training and development not linked to assessments
Long learning sessions that require too much time away from the job
Development not multifaceted—coaching, workshops, summits, institutes, e-learning, and on-the job
Individual Development Planning (IDP) not happening and/or not recent and not based on accurate assessment data
Learners finding it difficult to determine their development progress against development goals that were established and agreed upon
Costly training and development, making it difficult to establish a solid ROI
"Event"-focused training and development, as opposed to continuous
Organization not innovative enough
Organization design issues
Organizational change/transition issues
Demarcation Challenges
Performance management is a top-down event, not seen as a joint process.
Performance management is "event" driven, not seen as continuous.
The word accountability is not a critical theme—not believed in and/or practiced.
Performance management is a "form" or "software" that needs to be completed.
Goal setting and performance planning are not aligned with the strategic direction of the organization and/or with accurate assessments that help isolate Capability, Commitment, and Alignment.
A-team players are not accurately differentiated from the B- and C-team players.
A-team players receive the same rewards as B- and C-team players
The Stealth Fighter Model
The Stealth Fighter Model offers a compelling, symbolic way to understand the predictive relationships that exist between critical human capital/talent management processes (the four D's) (Exhibit 1.1), the Leading Indicators (Capability, Commitment, and Alignment—more on these later), intermediate outcomes, and ultimate outcomes. The four D's essentially act as the four turbocharged engines that propel the Stealth Fighter (the company) toward its target, which is defined as an organization's Future Desired State and the required competencies to execute both the current and future business strategy. By way of analogy, if the four engines are "well oiled," functioning at a high level (i.e., optimized), and working together (i.e., integrated), they will propel the Stealth Fighter toward its goal.
In practical terms, an organization's Human Capital Value Proposition (HCVP) is the holistic sum of the following practices:
Deployment—Recruitment, selection, and promotion
Diagnostic—Assessing competencies and skills
Development—Training, coaching, action-learning
Demarcation—Performance management and reward systems
Also included in the HCVP is the relative impact of these practices on multiple levels of business outcome, such as Capability, Commitment, and Alignment (Leading Indicators); intermediate outcomes, such as individual and team performance (lagging indicators); and ultimate outcomes, such as organizational revenue, profits, and operating ratios. Regardless of the exact words used to capture an organization's HCVP, one thing is sure: The elements identified in the Stealth Fighter Model need to be well thought out, believed in, communicated, executed, and measured (assessed)—continuously.

All through historical past, one important facet of all sides of training (together with music) revolve around the ways that a teacher helps to inspire their college students. Orchestras consisting of exceptionally adorned instruments, notably one found in 1978 in the tomb of the Marquis Yi of the previous Zeng state (Hubei Province, 5th century B.C.), reveal an astonishing understanding of the interaction between physics, acoustics, metallurgy, and design.
Music and Arts Competition November 10 – thirteen, 2016. We've got a number of art studio areas that provide free or very reasonably priced art applications for children and adults alike. This can be a lengthy-awaited reissue of Jerrold Levinson's 1990 guide Music, Art, and Metaphysics, which gathers together the writings that made him a leading figure in modern aesthetics.
Asbury Park was synonymous with rock 'n' roll even earlier than New Jersey native son Bruce Springsteen first picked up a guitar at age 14. But for the better part of the previous 30 years, the New Jersey Shore city suffered neglect and a sequence of lofty however in poor health-fated entrepreneurial stop-starts.
I submit that handwriting is a form of creative self expression, and that not teaching cursive in schools is a disservice to youngsters; each baby must be encouraged to choose up a pencil/pen and experiment, doodle, uncover a person type, hopefully legible.
Children need art and tales and poems and music as a lot as they want love and meals and contemporary air and play. The band chose the venue because of its history in addition to its affiliation with Springsteen, who has played there countless instances going again to 1974.

Girls' Day (known as Hinamatsuri in Japan) is a day set aside to celebrate girls every March 3 in Japan. The holiday involves displaying dolls, which people used to think could contain bad spirits. An ancient Japanese custom was to float straw dolls down a river on a boat to the sea, taking the bad spirits with them. Food associated with Girl's Day include colored, sweet bite-sized rice crackers (hina-arare), colored diamond-shaped rice cakes (hishimochi), a clear broth clam soup (ushiojiru), and chirashizushi, a bowl of sushi rice topped with a variety of raw fish and vegetables.
None of these options sounded particularly interesting to make at home, so I looked to Children's Day for inspiration. It seems fitting since Boys' Day was turned into Children's Day to celebrate the happiness of all children rather than just a male celebration. Children's Day is not until May 5th, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy making a variation of a rice dumpling called chimaki. Chimaki is usually sweet and wrapped in an oak, but its roots are thought to be in the savory Chinese zongzi, a glutinous rice ball stuff with fillings like pork, chicken, peanuts, and char siu (Chinese barbecued pork). I kept my recipe simple with shiitake mushrooms and a carrot (purple carrot in photo) with soy sauce and mirin for added flavor.
Chimaki (Yield: 6-8 rice dumplings)
2 cups of sweet short grain rice
1T vegetable oil
1 carrot, penny sliced (optional: cut decoratively like flowers)
1 oz. dried shiitake mushrooms
2T soy sauce
2 cups chicken stock
2T mirin
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
6-8 taro leaves (substitute bamboo or banana leaves)
- Prepare shitake mushrooms as instructed on package.
- Heat vegetable oil in large pot or saucepan. Add carrot and hydrated shiitake mushrooms. Stir fry for 2 minutes
- Add rice, soy sauce, mirin, and chicken stock. Bring to a boil, then turn down heat low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until liquid just absorbed.
- Remove from heat and cool. When cool enough to handle, shape into triangles, and wrap in taro leaves.Tie with string or wrap in foil.
- Place wrapped dumplings in prepared steamer. Steam for 20 minutes.
- Remove dumplings from steamer and unwrap foil to serve.

A really great movie.
The performances are great. The film often looks really beautiful. There's one shot, near the end of the film, that is just plain gorgeous. We see the characters of the excellently mopey and teenage Josh Peck and the brilliant Sir Ben Kingsley (Why hasn't he overtaken Jack Nicholson yet? (or has he?)) sitting on the beach. The shot is from above, characters' backs to the camera, and we see the ocean and the skyline… It's a beautiful shot composed of such tone… Just how well-made a film The Wackness is is hinted at throughout the film, but when you see this shot (and the entire late-in-the-film scene on the beach), you know. Definitively.
As mentioned, all performances are really well-played. Famke Janssen plays Kingsley's bored wife. It's a small role, but it's a depressing role if there ever was one. Not cry-depressing, but "Geez! Open up the blinds! Let the sun shine through your windows!"-depressing. She obviously gets this point across well. Method Man plays a drug dealer's drug dealer (literally) and plays it convincingly, even carrying an authentic-sounding accent. Olivia Thirlby gets past her somewhat annoying Juno character and nails it as Kingsley's privileged step-daughter. Even Mary-Kate Olsen does a good job in her brief role. And of course, Kingsley: Check. Josh Peck is known for his performances on children/tween shows on Nickelodeon. In movie-land it might be possible that you know him for two roles. His one as a New York City teenage drug dealer in The Wackness and his role as a cruel and annoying potty-mouthed bully (when he was a large prepubescent kid) in 2004's Mean Creek. Both, more or less, "indie" films. (Mean Creek much more so) And he does a great job in each of these roles.
You know protagonist Luke Shapiro (Peck). Or at least have experienced one of the things he experiences in the film. You must have (or will). This is life. The guy just graduated from high school for Pete's sake. You don't remember that? Or the stuff that was going on in your teenage life? Youth! Youth! What a time.
The Wackness details Luke's summer months between high school and college as he deals pot and deals with life. Kingsley is his fairly eccentric psychologist, trading sessions for marijuana. The Shapiro family is having troubles, key among them, financial troubles. Luke sets out to help his family with his pot dealing profits. He also deals in order to save up money for college. That's a real person right there. Real. (albeit, feelgood movie-esque)
Thank writer/director Jason Levine for an excellent film. As we've discussed, we know the film is a well-made film and all the performances are terrific. But you know we have a great film on our hands when we recognize that The Wackness has a great script. It's magnificent. First love, heartbreak, hip-hop, drugs, being young and alive; all these themes are authentically touched upon. The film is set in 1994 and, yes, Levine accurately brings us back. Biggie is up-and-coming, Luke references Pearl Jam and we get to hear A Tribe Called Quest's classic "Can I Kick It?"
This film makes you smile, laugh, recognize, feel, think. Yes! This is a funny movie! One of the funniest and most sincere films of 2008 so far. This is an excellent, excellent movie. It's dark. It has substance. It has meaning. The meaning of life! Luke and Kingsley's shrink talk of the meaning of life and how to live. This is brilliant. The Wackness is a brilliant film (or at least really good). Go see it.
Vman's Take:
Jonathan Levine is definitely an auteur to watch out for. Easily one of the best movies of 2008, The Wackness captures the essence of the mid '90s with a perfect combination of hip-hop, drugs and heartbreak. This film reminds us once again of the promises of the indie film movement, in that it allows certain filmmakers to create highly personal and startlingly original works of art. Do not be put off by seemingly clichéd characters such as the depressed, drug-addicted psychologist played by Ben Kingsley or Olivia Thirlby's bored and extremely promiscuous (what a combo) rich girl. Levine adds nuance to these archetypes and charms the viewer with his humor, allowing him to deliver an emotional wallop in the film's bittersweet conclusion.

We are constantly reviewing the schedule during the day as there isn't much consistency to it. Most of our mornings are very similar, but with specials in the afternoons the schedule is all over the place. This is our second year with this type of schedule. By June of last year I still didn't know it (and it's all different this year!).

Getting settled in to life in paradise
Last Saturday, 27 of June, 8 new volunteers arrived to the base. After two days with lessons and Emergency First Response training they were ready for their first dive. While the new volunteers did their first dive, the 4 volunteers who were still here from last month continued their surveys and point-outs.
Tuesday was a day for learning and understanding for the new volunteers. All 8 of them had lessons about fish or corals and the goal was to name as many as possible. All volunteers did one dive during this day, some did their surveys and point-outs while others continued their Advanced Open Water course with a Peak performance buoyancy dive. 4 volunteers went snorkelling in the afternoon with children from the local President's village. The other stayed at base to cook dinner, clean and have loads of fun.
During Wednesday Andy, now one of the past Base Managers, left the base after being here for over a year. Mariana is now taking over as the new base manager. Also during Wednesday 4 volunteers went to the international school of Seychelles to teach children about the ocean and marine conservation. Next week is the last change to meet the children before they go on break. The dives continued during the afternoons, but during the mid-day when there is low-tide no dives are possible. This leaves time for the volunteers to go on lessons and practice their skills about coral and fish. Hopefully they will start their surveys in a week or two.
The new volunteers are getting used to the life on base and they are all about what exited about what the next day will offer. This weekend all of the volunteers are leaving base for a nice chill-out in Beau Vallon together.

PNN/ Ramallah/
Another Palestinian was shot and critically injured by Israeli soldiers who attacked the funeral of Musab Tamimi (17), whom they shot and killed one day earlier.
PNN reporter said that the victim, whose identity is still unidentified, was reportedly shot in the head and is in a critical condition,
Israeli soldiers on Thursday afternoon attacked the funeral of Tamimi, whom they shot and killed on Wednesday during clashes that erupted in Deir Nezam village, north of Ramallah. His funeral this morning, carried out by Ramallah masses, was attacked by Israeli soldiers, causing the rise of clashes again.
Popular Struggle activist, Mohammed Al-Tamimi described the circumstances around the killing of Tamimi on Wednesday as a "cold blooded execution", especially that the child did not pose any threat on Israeli soldiers.
The activist told Voice of Palestine radio that Musab Tamimi was shot from a distance of five meters in front of his parents.
According to the Red Crescent, he had sustained serious wounds after shot by Israeli soldiers in the village, and was rushed to the Istishari hospital in Ramallah.
Shortly later, the Ministry of Health announced him dead of his wounds.

Matt Cutts Updates Google's nofollow Use
This is probably the last update I will post about this issue since I have covered the topic in two previous posts, What is With the rel=nofollow Penalty and Update: What is With the rel=nofollow, but it is worth an additional follow up here with Matt Cutts latest post, Quick comment on nofollow. Matt has updated Google's interpretation of the use of nofollow and answered some questions that had been flying around lately. I did learn some new information about the issue from reading the lastest posts, and when you should consider using the rel=nofollow code with your links. Matt also answered some of the questions posed by seomoz.org in his post, Matt Cutts on Nofollow, Links-Per-Page and the Value of Directories, where he asked several unanswered questions about the nofollow issue. Most of his remarks come from a post to the Google Group, Google Webmaster, where he says that webmasters are free to use the nofollow how they see fit of course but something else I had been wondering and just didn't ask yet, was if I have my robots.txt file modified where the entire directory is disallowed, will that work too? Apparently so.
Matt states in the Google group post, Appropriate uses of nofollow tag -- popular pick , where he says just that. Thanks for answering my question without me asking.
The nofollow attribute is just a mechanism that gives webmasters the ability to modify PageRank flow at link-level granularity. Plenty of other mechanisms would also work (e.g. a link through a page that is robot.txt'ed out), but nofollow on individual links is simpler for some folks to use. There's no stigma to using nofollow, even on your own internal links; for Google, nofollow'ed links are dropped out of our link graph; we don't even use such links for discovery. By the way, the nofollow meta tag does that same thing, but at a page level.
Some of the information I took from all these posts is that the nofollow issue and its use is far more broad than just for the paid links you might have on your site, and it is used to keep spam off your site, or at least from being indexed through your site, lowering the possible usefulness and ranking of your site. To be moderately educated on this issue will certainly not hurt your abilities as a webmaster or to help market other clients sites and ecommerce stores. Things to remember for me would be:
You can use your robots.txt file instead
Using your robots.txt file will generate the same good results, and might be easier than worrying about each individual link.
You can use a meta tag
Placing a nofollow meta tag at the top of your page will keep the index from taking place on a page level
Use it on pages that won't convert well
Using a nofollow tag on a sign-in link or an account link is a good idea too. These links will not produce any positive effect on your traffic or ranking, it doesn't have to just be a paid link, any link that doesn't become an asset to your site.
Most of the focus on the nofollow topic has been geared towards blogs with comments being posted but I will write an article coming up that shows how using this in combination with your ecommerce stores can be a good thing as well, it is not just for the bloggers. Any advantage you can gain over your competition on your ecommerce platform is good, and I would expect few of the very small ecommerce companies recognizes this as an issue.

Who are the Washington Wizards this year? It's hard to tell with their 5-5 record. They have some qualities wins against Raptors, Nuggets, and Pistons. However, they've blown a 22 pt lead against the Suns, lost to the Lakers in OT, and let Bron put 57 on they head. Beal and Wall continue to say they are the best team in the East after all this. Personally, I'll believe it when actions back those statements. I do like the confidence and The Wiz definitely have the best backcourt in the East. The rest of the team is unsure though. They will make the playoffs, due to the incompetence in the Eastern conference. Will they make any real noise in the playoffs? Can Wall and Beal carry the team? Can they beat Lebron or the Celtics? Is this a team of wizards or witches? This team seems confused and we'll see how they manage this season.

Skins vs 12th Man
This has been a mediocre season for the Redskins. They currently sit at 3-4 and it looks to get worse. The team is suffering from either injuries or underperformance at the WR, RB, and Oline. They entered this week with over 20 players on the injury report. These injuries couldn't come at a worst time. They lost to a tough opponent last week and now face off against the Seahawks in Seattle today. This would be a tough game for a completely healthy team. Therefore, I do not think the Redskins will have enough to overcome the injuries and beat the Seahawks. What is your prediction?

U Street, NW DC
After 2 straight weeks of impressive wins and performances, the Titans and Redskins dropped the ball this week.
The Titans stomped the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 2 and the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. The Titans looked poised to continue their success against their division rivals, the Houston Texans in Week 4. The Titans have struggled against the Texans for 4 straight seasons, but this year looked to be the of that era. However, rookie QB Deshaun Watson shredded the Titans defense for 57 POINTS!! The final score was 57-14
The Redskins played the Kansas City Chiefs for primetime Monday night football. The Redskins having been impressive. the last 2 weeks, with wins over the Rams and Raiders, but no one gave them a shot at beating the undefeated Chiefs. Everyone was right about them not winning, but were surprised at how well they played. Redskin's QB Kirk Cousins threw a perfect, game winning TD pass to WR Josh Doctson but he couldn't manage to hang out to it. Chiefs pulled out the W with a score 29-20
The Titans play the Dolphins next week. The Redskins play the 49ers next week. Do you think these teams will bounce back?!

You may have read this title and thought, 'Why on earth does my preschooler need coding skills?" There are SO MANY benefits to teaching coding to children, but I'll only say a few.
1. Coding is its own superpower! Hilary Mason, Chief Scientist at Bitly, said the following:
"I believe technology should give us superpowers. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn to think, analyze, and create with technology."
2. Coding is quickly becoming a new literacy. Salman Khan, the founder of Khan Academy, said the following:
"To prepare humanity for the next 100 years, we need more of our children to learn computer programming skills, regardless of their future profession. Along with reading and writing, the ability to program is going to define what an educated person is."
3. It's arguably the best way to build logic and critical thinking skills. Nicholas Negroponte, Founder and Chairman Emeritus of MIT's Media Lab said the following:
"Programming allows you to think about thinking. And while debugging, you learn to learn."

Teacher Tip
Full disclosure, I am not a programmer. That being said, my husband has a degree in mechanical engineering and has a lot of experience with coding. He has approved this lesson for coding, so I feel comfortable showing it to you guys. Coding is basically telling the computer to follow a series of commands, which is the essence of this lesson.

Yanmar dealer celebrates its 40th anniversary
ATLAS Mortag skilfully stages the Japanese manufacturer's machines.
ATLAS Mortag Baumaschinen und Fahrzeugtechnik e.K. (ATLAS Mortag) has successfully been active in Erfurt since 40 years. At the beginning of June the company celebrated this anniversary on its own premises. According to the motto "man meets machine", the Yanmar dealer presented various excavators of the Japanese manufacturer to its guests. Yanmar representative Frank Thoss, Regional Director Central Europe at Yanmar Construction Equipment Europe (Yanmar CEE), was on-site and congratulated the Mortag family. Parallel to the company's jubilee, the municipality of Niedernissa, home of ATLAS Mortag, celebrated its 750th anniversary.
Frank Thoss says: "The weekend impressively underlined the importance of our dealer ATLAS Mortag in the region of Erfurt. The whole town celebrated together with them. Also, the Yanmar machines were staged in a great way. We wish ATLAS Mortag all the best for the next 40 years."
During the festivity, ATLAS Mortag presented its large machine portfolio with numerous Yanmar machines. At the demo area, the guests could test various Yanmar excavators: among others, the new mobile excavator B110W with tiltrotator and the new SV60 with the largest cabin of its class. Also, the ViO27, the ViO33, the ViO38 and the B7 Sigma with unique boom concept were exposed plus the SV100 with articulated boom. The social programme included live music and an auction. Yanmar CEE provided the mini-excavator SV08 that was auctioned for a good purpose.
Robert Mortag, owner of ATLAS Mortag, says: "Together with our guests, we had a wonderful anniversary celebration. It is particularly important to me that we could do good to children who need our support. Therefore, I'm really pleased, that the SV08 was auctioned for such a high sum. We will donate the money to three non-profit organisations."
ATLAS Mortag has been a Yanmar dealer in Thuringia for eight years. The company identifies itself with the philosophy and the sales concept of the manufacturer. Both enterprises appreciate their honest and successful cooperation. Yanmar offers high-quality compact machines to its dealers: mini and midi excavators, wheeled excavators, wheel loaders and carriers.

This is a TV commercial that promotes a mattress. but the beautiful creative concept is based on a Home birth, the mother explains that they used to have their children at home, where she feels more secure.
they prefer imprint the memory to their children that they were born in a cozy home instead of a cold impersonal building.
The midwife says that she just watch and only intervenes if it is necesary. and the father is not only a viewer, but he participates actively.
having your children at home makes you relate intimately with the enviroment.
the mother tells how wonderful was helping the baby girl to come out and put her immediately in her skin.
Father says that when you are witnessing a birth the emotion comes up up up and when the baby is here is not that the emotion comes down but it still going beyond and fill all the place around and lights all the people around.
Life crossing the threshold through your body... that´s powerful!!!
In births where both parents are connected, the body responds much better
when a new life arrives, a very special light and smell permeates all the place

Elegance rewarded at Hilton Head Island Concours d'Elegance
Once a gift for the wife of Chrysler's chief designer, a car brought new joy to a West Orange, N.J., couple at Sunday's Motoring Festival & Concours d'Elegance on Hilton Head Island.
The 1933 Chrysler Custom Imperial Phaeton, owned by Joseph and Margie Cassini III, won Best in Show on the last day of the Motoring Festival at Port Royal Golf Club. The car is believed to be the last of its kind produced and has changed hands at least eight times in its 82 years.
For Joseph Cassini, winning the top prize is some validation for his eye for quality.
"(Motor sports) have been a passion for quite some time, but you realize that these cars are works of art," he said after the award ceremony from behind the wheel of his deep green Chrysler. "They're rolling works of art."
The sloping lines, custom details and buttery-leather interior are a far cry from the go-carts and mini-bikes that first attracted Cassini to automobiles as a kid. Judges and spectators waited patiently to shake the couple's hands and remark on their car's beauty.
"Not fancy, but it has a real understated elegance," Margie Cassini said. "Don't you think?"
Two other grand awards were announced Sunday afternoon.
The Paul Doerring Founders Award went to a mint green 1957 Dual-Ghia Convertible, owned by David and Doreen Salzman of Jupiter, Fla.
And attendees voted a black 1939 Mercedes-Benz 540K Special Roadster the People's Choice. Tom Hill accepted the award for the owner, the Rare Wheels Collection in Windermere, Fla.
Also on display Sunday were dozens of boats, motorcycles, sports cars and an array of BMWs to celebrate the company's 100th anniversary.
Some cars, like the winning Chrysler, were one of a kind.
One convertible, a 1954 Cadillac Series 62 Special Cabriolet, was designed on a napkin and brought to life in Italy.
The one-off Cadillac was left outside for five years after it was buried under a carport that collapsed during Hurricane Andrew but was found and salvaged by Dick Birdsall, the son of the original owner.
The Lake Worth, Fla., man spent 16 years restoring the car.
On Sunday, its 24-carat gold plating and crystal steering wheel gleamed.
Another rarity, a 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, was also nearly lost. After vanishing a few years after it was built, the car was rediscovered in a junkyard in the 1930s. It now belongs to Fred Guyton of St. Louis, Mo., named Concours' 2015 Pinnacle Collector.
On Sunday, Guyton eased the nearly silent car onto the green with three passengers. The car's silver horn ending in a boa constrictor's head sounded three muted beeps, the snake's red tongue twitching along with the purring engine.
"Ain't it gorgeous?" a woman remarked.
Even the simplest cars, though, thrilled the hundreds of attendees.
The loudest claps seemed to accompany a century-old International Harvester that puttered across the lawn and a pristine 1973 Ford Bronco with the license plate, "NO MUD."
Spectator Ede Olson, 84, smiled at the classic cars that reminded her of her father. He bought a Buick in the late 1930s when Olson was about nine, but the car gathered dust because of fuel rationing.
"We had a brand new car and we couldn't put gas in it," Olson said, her eyes peeled on the parade of cars.
While some were impressive in their size and luxury, others were clearly born of the poor economy Olson was remembering. The giveaway -- their compact size.
The 1955 Messerschmitt KR 175, for one, has only one rear wheel and a 9-foot-long body. Messerschmitt began producing the micro-bubble cars when it could no longer build airplanes, and the KR 175 certainly looks it.
Still, it manages to fit two comfortably, said owner Judy O'Steen of Tallahassee, Fla., perched in the seat behind her "chauffeur," husband J.C.
Whatever their roots, though, none of Concours' restored cars are driven out of necessity these days. Showing off the Messerschmitt early Sunday, the O'Steens seemed cozy, not cramped, from their seats inside a sliver of history.
"My wife says its romantic in here," J.C. O'Steen said.

The increased use of conventional sources of energy in the industrial sector has led to the worsening of the environment and also has caused stress on the current supply of conservative fuel from the nature. To reach the demand of the sustainable energy resources, the biomass briquette plant provides the eco-friendly and economical solution.
The developing countries like India having Agro-based economy, rich supply of biomass has created options of producing renewable and economic alternate fuel in the form of biomass briquette that is both sustainable and easily available to run the industries. The briquette plant manufactures bio fuel briquettes from the agricultural waste and forestry residues with using environmentally friendly equipments. The briquette press machine used in the manufacturing process of briquettes prefers a binder less technology for the briquette production. It doesn't necessitate any kind of binding chemical in whole manufacturing process.
The output product of the biomass briquette plant is high quality and sustainable energy fuel briquettes which are an excellent replacement for all the fossil fuels like oil and coal. The renewable briquettes are used in many industries for heating boilers and electricity generation without flying ash generation. The white coal briquettes are serving as a sustainable source of energy that also avoids adding fossil carbon, which is the main pollutant of the atmosphere. Hence, a number of industries in developing countries have switched from oil to bio fuel briquettes to save costs on boiler fuels. Also, in the southern part of India, the use of biomass briquettes has become the predominant source of energy.
The use of biomass briquettes can get carbon credits for reducing the emissions in the environment. The energy fuel briquettes also offer more calorific value and save approximately 30-40 % of the boiler fuel cost. Also briquettes are cheaper fuel than any other fuels. Hence, the use of this sustainable fuel briquette saves the precious natural resources, reduces the greenhouse gases, controls pollution and keeps the environment healthy.

HAHA eat it, Suzy! I haven't laughed this hard at a video in a long time. I had to get up from my desk and take a walk outside so I wouldn't get fired for disrupting the workplace. Right up it jumps into the thick of things and within seconds I lost my composure. Suzy's little brother delivers a brutal body shot followed by a finishing KO neck shot. What a combination. Shades of Ali. Shades of McGregor. Hit em with the body, hit em with the head. High level precision and technical skill, and Suzy folded like a cheap suit.
Poor Suzy couldn't hold back the language. Oh fuck. Oh crap. Oh fucking idiot, FUCK. Fuck. She's what, ten years old? She's got swiss cheese defense and a sailor's mouth to go with it. Job well done by the cameraman. I'd like to think it's the father and this was an inside job. The school probably called him to say his daughter has been cursing in school and rather than her being punished at school he vouched to take care of it in house. In order to that he's got to catch her in the act. Asking your son to karate chop your daughter's esophagus is somewhat unorthodox but not ineffective if the point is driven home. Sibling violence is a small price to pay for the long term benefit.
You could tell Suzy was trying her darnedest to hold back the curses, but everyone's got a plan until they get combo'd with a body shot neck shot one-two punch. Veteran move from little bro to issue the half-assed "sorry!" It makes him look sympathetic, putting all the blame on Suzy for her potty mouth. He's a young Buzz McCallister pouring his heart out to the family and calling Kevin a "little trout sniffer" under his breath. Fuck you, Suzy!
Could be the video of the year.

Justin and Pharell are working together again this time not on Justin album but the Game new upcoming album R.E.D debuting in February. Apparently this production was not set at first until Justin thought to give Pharell a visit while making a album with The Game. I don't believe Justin didn't know this beforehand. I could be wrong I mean maybe it was just fate.
Jayceon Taylor, meet Justin Timberlake. The Game recently got a surprise for his next LP, The R.E.D. Album: The pop superstar apparently jumped on a Pharrell Williams-produced record for the project.
"Justin Timberlake came through last night, man," Game told Rap-Up.com. "The vibe changed. And it went to where I can see
GrammyAwards. I had a really dope energy from him being in the booth last night."
Game tweeted about seeing Timberlake in the studio last week. "Just gettin' home from studio," he wrote. "Was in with Pharrell, listenin 2 new beats & out of nowhere Justin Timberlake walks in, 2 b continued... R.E.D."
Game insisted that Skateboard P — a friend and longtime collaborator of Timberlake's — didn't have to broker any deals to get the singer to come to the lab.
"Pharrell didn't call him," Game said. "I don't know how he fell through, but he fell through. Two JTs, in the studio at the same time, and the P Dub. It's gonna be classic. Justin Timberlake, man, is big sh--. Everybody listens to Justin Timberlake, from little white girls in Malibu to chicks in the 'hood. The songs he comes out with, the features on Timberland's albums and his own albums and working with Pharrell in the past. All the way back to my little sister loving her 'NSYNC CDs.
"Justin, he's dope," the rapper continued. "I appreciate his music. I never thought I would work with Justin and for it to turn out to be as catastrophic [in a good way] as it was, was amazing."
It was a collaboration the Game will be storing in his "mental
Throughout the recording process of the album, Game has been taking to Twitter to announce some of his other collaborators, which include
Dr. Dre, Cool and Dre, DJ Premier and Gucci Mane.
The song with Gucci Mane is called "Krazy" and was released a few weeks ago, as was the Cool and Dre production "Big Money." The R.E.D. Album is slated to drop sometime in early 2010.

Acrylic Nails
Our acrylic nail process is a combination of a liquid monomer and powder polymer. One of our certified manicurists will wet a brush and dip it in a powder to create a layer on your nails on top of the plastic added on it for length. It then hardens with a transparent look after exposed to air where the nail polish gets added. They are popular for those that want length and shape.
We do a full set of acrylics at a very affordable price. Whether you want a natural square shape with a nude color or a diva stiletto with rhinestone nail art, we can do it all. The art of acrylic nails is also a science for us, so we take our time to guarantee a clean and perfected process.

Frankfurt 2011: Kia GT details
The distinctively styled Kia GT, which is similar in design to cars like the Porsche Panamera and Aston Martin Rapide, shows the new design direction for future Kia cars.
The design team behind the car was headed up by Peter Schreyer, Kia's chief design officer, who said "It felt good to be working on a car that could roll down the road tomorrow. Yes, it would be a dream to put this into production – it has a logical layout, with four seats, and good luggage space, and it's also engaging and dynamic and makes a strong statement. It's exactly the kind of car Kia should be making."
The doors, which are rear hinged at the rear, open upwards as well as outwards, a bit like on an Aston Martin, and there's a long bonnet with distinctive LED headlights, a raked windscreen and a short rear end with attractive tail lights.
The cabin is driver-centric, and is spacious and airy despite the low stance of the car. The instruments are LED based, with readouts that can change depending on the drivers preferences. The controls are mounted on the steering wheel to reduce clutter on the centre console.
The 'mirrors' – protruding from the wings like fins, are actually small cameras which relay their image to small monitors in the doors in the perfect, line-of-sight position.
The upholstery is leather with a metallic surface treatment , making it smooth and giving a feeling of warmth.
The front-engine rear-drive layout is typical of GT cars, although not common for the likes of Kia. Power comes from a 3.3-litre turbocharged petrol engine, which produces 534Nm of torque and 395PS, transferred to the wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
