QUESTION: Welcome, T. M. Causey. Could you introduce yourself to our readers?
T. M. Causey: Well, introducing oneself is always rife with danger. I say on my author website that I'm a USA Today bestselling author, a photographer, contractor, designer ninja, rabble-rouser and general crankypants.
A long, long (long, really, seriously, get out your prehistoric calendars) time ago, I wrote—under my real name Toni McGee Causey—a comedic thriller trilogy about a crazy southern-fried heroine, Bobbie Faye Sumrall, who took no prisoners and was known to pretty much destroy everything and anything in her way when trying to get to someone she loved to help them out. She was an absolute hoot to write — smart but vulnerable, smartass but kind-hearted, and the sort of woman who'd looked for love in all the wrong places. I loved her so, and she'd make me wake up at night, laughing, from dreams about the next scrape she was about to get into. My novel that will be coming out March 8, The Saints of the Lost and Found, is written under the pen name T. M. Causey, a decision I made because the premise is a darker one.
Between the series and the new book, I helped my husband in the running of our small civil construction company, became a professional photographer and then a grandmother (took me six whole months before I could use the "g" word. I started off telling people the baby was my son's daughter; it made people look at me all side-eyed, like I was weird or something).
About five years ago, my husband and I moved to the French Quarter for what we thought was a temporary move, only to know within a few weeks that it was going to be permanent. There's a life, a fire, a culture here—a kindness, a heart, a spirit—that gets into your soul, pumps through your blood and makes you never want to leave. I wouldn't have imagined it possible for us to fall so hard for a place, and if you'd have told me a couple of years before that I would feel so passionately about my adopted city, I'd have thought you crazy, but there ya go. It has been pointed out to me that I am still a "foreigner" because I wasn't born here, and I get that. But I'm also more than fifty-percent Cajun. And that should count for something. When people feel the need to question my right to be here, I just laugh and say, "sure, that's true, but I found my way home, and that's what counts."
QUESTION: Name a mystery/suspense author or two whose books you admire and why?
T. M. Causey: That is a brutally difficult question for me, because I read so many people and admire them for so many different things. It's very, very difficult to narrow it down to two or ten. I will try by eliminating all the authors I've met and am now friends with (one of the wonderful perks of attending conventions is you get to meet your heroes and become friends with them).
The first name that pops into my head is Tana French. She's an Irish writer that can weave language like a spell, and I'm in awe of her prose and the depth and nuance to her characters. She can take tiny, micro-moments and give them such vivid clarity, making you see the layers and layers to that person's life with these clear-eyed glimpses of their flaws.
The second is Robert Crais. I've read him from the beginning, I think, and I believe he is just one of the very best at pacing, at twist, at planting clues right there in front of you that you don't see because he's genius at sleight-of-hand. He also nailed Louisiana in the book Voodoo River the way only a native (born here, I believe, though he lives elsewhere now) could. It's hard to explain the differences, but I can usually spy when someone is writing from research or from experience, especially if they think everything in Louisiana is like New Orleans. New Orleans is a third-world country unto itself that only barely acknowledges it's a part of the U.S., and then only when it suits it. Crais gets that, and in every book, he shows that.
The last, and I have to mention him, is my idol, James Lee Burke. He is the quintessential Southern storyteller, with the beauty of Tana French's language and the pacing of Crais. He's just a master.
QUESTION: How did you come to write your new book The Saints of the Lost and Found?
T. M. Causey: One of the odd surprises of my life is that the thing you never expect to hit is the thing that hits, and in so many ways, that's what happened with Bobbie Faye. She was fierce and fun, and I loved giving my humor a wide field in which to play, from subtle to sarcasm, from irony to near slapstick (oh, who's kidding, tons of slapstick). I always saw Bobbie Faye as Wile E. Coyote just as he goes over the edge of the cliff, looking back at the camera with that "oh, shit" expression. It was a joy to write her, but the great thing about being a writer is that you have so many stories you want to tell. The terrible thing is that you have so many stories you want to tell.
I have never been very good at writing what I was "supposed" to write next. (My entire family reading this is probably thinking, "Well, duh, look at everything else she is ornery about, no surprise there.") I had a fallow period immediately after the Bobbie Faye trilogy at which time I tried several different stories and, well, they sucked. Massively. They didn't make it past the first act because I wisely deleted them, never ever ever to be seen again, thank goodness. I know now they sucked mostly because I was trying so hard to write what I thought I was supposed to write next to fit in with the market, to sell, to not disappoint Bobbie Faye fans, and I can tell you, many brilliant writers out there are genius at this, and their storytelling/writing does not suffer. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.
So after the suckage-fest, I finally faced facts: I needed to write something that inspired me and that I knew I wanted to dig into. And as it happens, for a long time I'd had this idea about a woman who finds lost things, and what that would be like.
Oddly, at first, I thought it was going to be a funny novel. (No, really, I could imagine all sorts of crazy antics and outcomes.) But then the character of Avery showed up almost simultaneously with the idea, and every time I tried to "write her funny" it fell flat. The more I looked at her, the more I delved into who she was and how she had gotten that way, I was overcome how much pain, how much darkness was there. Quite honestly, I was scared of it. I think I quit writing this book more than a dozen times.
Then one day on a writing retreat at the esteemed author Joan Johnston's house, with Peggy Webb and my dear friend, CJ Lyons, we were taking turns brainstorming on each other's book ideas, untangling confused storylines, suggesting twists and turns. I'd never participated in something like that before, and at the time I was still terrified of writing this story. It was more than fear of "what if I fail?"—something that plagues nearly every writer—it was the bone-deep realization that there were some truths I was going to have to tell, some things I was going to have to mentally live through again that were going to be difficult if I was to tell the story. I had to face the fact that I would feel exposed for the first time, really, as a writer. I don't think you can tell as dark a story as The Saints of the Lost and Found without that sort of vulnerability. At least, I couldn't.
There was a point in the retreat when I was in the shower, and the ending (a critical piece of it) came to me, and I stood there in tears, because I knew that the journey to it was going to be so painful for Avery and so necessary, and while there was some hope in the ending, I wondered if it would be enough. I almost quit the story again right then; Peggy Webb found me in the kitchen, in tears, and sat me down and listened to the story again. When I had gone through the truths I knew I would have to delve into, she said, "You have to write this. You're meant to write this. You can do this. I believe in you."
Sometimes, it's just that, those little moments in a writer's life, where everything turns, and you don't recognize how big a moment that was in making a book possible until years later.
QUESTION: It sounds like SAINTS speaks to something in your own life?
T. M. Causey: The story is about a young woman who can see people's losses, but her curse, as she thinks of it, has resulted in a serial killer making another kill. Unable to forgive herself for letting the family of the victim and the FBI down, Avery is ready to leave town when she is summoned home by her estranged, grifter father.
This story had so many false starts and poor, crappy drafts, and I was constantly aware that I hadn't quite hit it yet. I had a draft done when my brother was diagnosed with a rare form of gamma-delta t-cell lymphoma. The horrible irony of this was that in my story Avery was coming home to Louisiana in order to try to help her brother, whom she's been told would die if she didn't. I had been seeing my brother's subtle deterioration for a year or so and I now realize my fears about that were seeping into the story. I had to pull the manuscript then, from my agent and from some of the publishing houses we'd submitted to and take time off.
At the time, I was absolutely certain my brother was going to make it. Mike was a fifth-degree Master black belt in Tang Soo Do, and had always been in super shape and health conscious. It was inconceivable given his indomitable spirit that he would succumb to cancer, and for a year-and-a-half, he fought it hard. And really, he'd won—he had a bone marrow transplant, he beat the cancer, beat the graft vs. host disease, even beat a horrible stomach-type of virus that often follows, and he was so happy and almost once again the picture of health. He was riding his stationary bike five miles at a time, forty miles a day (no exaggeration), and I kept saying, "Are you aware that you have cancer?" and he'd just laugh. Then two days after they told him he was cancer free and he'd be going home soon, he woke up with what they thought was a stroke.
Only, it wasn't a stroke. It took days of tests before they figured out it was a fungal infection, one found on, literally, everything. Within a few days, he went from laughing and biking to being unable to walk, to being unable to talk above a whisper, to unable to breathe on his own, to unable to see and barely able to hear. He could wiggle his toes and fingers and squeeze my hand, but there was no hope. They showed me the MRI; the infection looked like dual hurricane Katrinas slicing into his brain stem.
He made me promise I wouldn't force him to live as a vegetable, but I was still looking for answers when one day a doctor and a swarm of medical students who didn't know us showed up unannounced in Mike's room. The doctor started talking about all of these extraordinary measures they were going to do to him even if it left Mike unable to hear or see or breathe on his own, and that's when I said, "No. No, you're not going to do that."
He chastised me, and I cut him off. I told him, "Look, you can go teach whatever you want anywhere else in this hospital, but this is my brother here, and if I could trade places with him, I would. I made him a promise, and even if it kills me to follow through, I will follow through, because he deserves that dignity."
And then, my brother, who could barely move, somehow managed to tug on my jacket. I turned and looked at him, stunned, and he strained and strained to pull his hands together in a grip, one set of fingers cupped over the other set, ying/yang style, and then he strained to bow. And it hit me what he was doing.
I asked him, "Are you bowing out?" Because I knew what that meant. He was the undefeated sparring champion of the world in his class, and he never gave up. Not once. He never quit. Ever.
Yet here he was telling me that he was done, and he was letting me know he agreed with me, with the choice I would have to make for him.
It killed me, a few days later, to get to that point where there was obviously no other decision, and to this day, and probably forever, I wake up each morning sobbing, wishing like hell there could have been some other way.
All the hours we spent together in the hospital are golden to me. My husband and I became his main caretakers, and every single minute is precious. And during those long hours, we talked about writing, about my getting back into the groove, and how I couldn't face it. Words had fled me, and he made me promise I would go back to the book about Avery and her brother, and finish it, "for him."
It took more than a year to be able to even open up the document, and it was painful at times, many times, as I worked to finish it. I dedicated to Mike. He was always my biggest encourager, always the proudest, always my baby brother grown so much taller than me, and I miss him every single day. But he lives, at least a little bit, in Latham, in Avery's story. One day, I hope to pick up more of that story, of Latham's journey, and tell it, too.

I had an opportunity to attend a workshop by an artist I had been following on instagram for quite a while, Felicia Forte. Her workshop was at NUMU in Los Gatos. The focus of the workshop was to paint with a limited palette, Zorn Palette (titanium white, ivory black, yellow ochre and cadmium red) within a limited time period.
On the first day, Felicia showed us her approach step-by-step. Starting with an accurate drawing of the head, she used the average dark value to block in the darks/shadow areas and then with the average light value painted any areas in the light. Then from there she finished off the portrait with more accurate and deliberate brushstrokes
Demos by Felicia Forte
Day 2 was with time limitations. In 20 minutes session and 5 minute breaks between the first painting was done in 60 minutes (3 20 minutes). Then the second from a different angle in 40 minutes (2 20 minutes) and then the last (1 20 minutes). The 5 minute break allows us to step away and come back with a fresher view of our painting.

Day 3 was the 3-hour painting – a longer painting time.
Demos by Felicia Forte
What I learned from this workshop: draw accurately, find the average dark and light values and painting within a time limitations.

Data storage giant EMC is buying out most of Cisco Systems' stake in converged infrastructure vendor VCE and will fold it into its federations of businesses.
The two companies and VMware—of which EMC owns about 80 percent—launched VCE in 2009, offering an integrated data center solution called Vblocks that included servers and networking capabilities from Cisco, storage from EMC and virtualization technology from VMware.
Since then, the joint venture has grown rapidly, and officials with both Cisco and EMC said that the increasing demand for VCE products coupled with the increasing competition in the converged infrastructure space calls for a more traditional business model that will enable VCE to be more agile and responsive.
As a joint venture, the company essentially had to answer to multiple parties on everything from product strategy to financial issues, officials with Cisco, EMC and VCE said Oct. 22 during a conference call with journalists and analysts. It was difficult for VCE officials "having to go to two different parents all the time for investments," said Gary Moore, president and COO at Cisco and co-chairman of the VCE board of directors. "VCE will now be able to move much faster."
Further reading
As a part of EMC, it also will be able to more easily draw on the capabilities of other companies under the EMC umbrella, including RSA for security and Pivotal for big data and platform-as-a-service (PaaS), said VCE CEO Praveen Akkiraju.
Cisco—which had owned 35 percent of the company—will retain a 10 percent stake in VCE and will continue to have a voice in the firm's direction. VMware will continue to own less than 10 percent of VCE, with EMC taking more than 80 percent share. Moore and Akkiraju said VCE will continue to leverage technologies only from EMC, Cisco and VMware, with the CEO saying that "we believe we have a winning formula here."
Moore agreed.
"None of the three of us or the companies we work for want to screw this up," he said.
Executives expect the deal to close this quarter.
VCE continues to see strong growth. It was surpassed a $2 billion-a-year run rate for Vblock and related products and services, and the third quarter was the sixth consecutive quarter of demand growth of more than 50 percent, the officials said. More than 2,000 Vblocks have been deployed, and executives said that an IDC study found that with Vblocks, customers can deploy new services five times faster than with traditional data center systems, as well as reduce downtime by 96 percent and lower their yearly data center costs by 50 percent.
VCE also is in a market that is expected to continue growing rapidly. IDC analysts have said the market for converged infrastructure will grow 32.8 percent a year and will hit $14.27 billion in 2017, a jump from $5.4 billion last year. Much of the growth is driven by enterprises and smaller companies as they continue to migrate their businesses to the cloud and look for efficient, agile and cost-effective data center solutions to handle such trends as big data and mobile computing.

Today was my second chemotherapy cycle of eight. It went smoothly, although my arm is a little bit sore from the IV drugs. I'm looking forward to getting my port installed so I can upload the chemo drugs more efficiently and with less burnination of the countryside (aka my veins).
So I'm doing fine, and the doctor and nurse figure my hair will start falling out in clumps very soon with this treatment. Things are progressing as they should.
The Ride
For the past few years, my good friend Elijah has been taking part in the British Columbia Ride to Conquer Cancer. The first year, he was not a long distance cyclist and I watched him train and fundraise like crazy until he was ready. And then he did it, and was awesome. And then he kept doing it year after year, and I remained impressed.
When I had lunch with him early on during my cancer diagnosing phase, he told me I should join him in the 2014 ride. I had joked in the past that I might do just that someday, but I was honestly terrified of the fundraising requirement — $2500 minimum to be able to join the ride. They take their fundraising seriously, and I was severely intimidated.
With cancer and chemotherapy looming ahead of me, I thought about that barrier, and the fact that I don't own a road/commuter bike anymore (another barrier) and thought, hey… why not? When I couldn't come up with a real reason beyond those to things I was afraid of (raising $2500 and budgeting for a bike), I realized that they were just that — fears — and if I could get through the cancer and chemo experience, budgeting and fundraising would be a breeze.
So I said yes.
I am now fundraising and thinking about what bike to buy and trying to put aside money for said bike and thinking about training for a 200 km ride over two days from Vancouver to Seattle. The ride isn't until June, so I have time to finish my chemo and do some solid training, once I get a bike. I've nearly met the $2500 minimum, and if I do I will increase my personal goal and do my best to meet it before June.
This is important to me because so far science has done a bang-up job of figuring out what's wrong with me through some amazing diagnosis tools and tests, an impressive collection of anti-cancer drugs with a side order of anti-nausea drugs, and a whole team of incredibly awesome people — doctors and nurses, researchers, social workers, dietitians, pharmacists, and so many more — whose jobs are to cure me. I want to give back to the science that has done so much for me, and I need your help to do it.
After kicking cancer's ass, riding 200 km in two days will be so easy. Right? Right?
I hope so. If nothing else, I feel inspired to get there. If you'd like to help, please consider a donation… and thank you to everyone who has helped me get this far.

Big Bethanie Bake Off 2019
There's something so heart-warming about cooking as a family – stories bubble to the surface, generational differences are diluted, and bonds are seared for life.
If you're lucky, you've been entrusted with the secret ingredients of a family's much-loved recipe – a recipe that could make you a big winner!
Following the successful 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 events, the Big Bethanie Bake Off is taking place this November.
Grandparents and kids across WA with a fantastic family recipe (and an equally great story behind it) are encouraged to enter before the closing date of 15 October 2019.
The Big Bethanie Bake Off is designed to engage WA seniors, along with kids and their grandparents, to take part in a cooking competition based on "cooking up grandma's favourite recipe."
It's going to be our biggest and best Bake Off yet, all thanks to Bethanie, WA's most well-known not-for-profit aged care and retirement living provider.
About the Competition
The Big Bethanie Bake Off is a chance to celebrate the remarkable relationships between grandparents and their grandkids, as symbolised in the sharing of a treasured family recipe.
We ask that all entrants submit their 'favourite recipe', accompanied by its story to be judged by a panel of expert judges. This story can reveal the background of the family recipe and special times shared over good food, whilst also reflecting upon your lives, culture and history.
Four lucky finalists will be chosen to compete at Have-a-Go Day for a live Bake Off Grand Final, which takes place on 13 November 2019 at Burswood Park.
While competitors prepare for the big event, Bethanie is also seeking kids of school age to submit their grandparent's favourite recipe, so they too can become one of four finalists who will compete against four senior clients in this year's Grand Final.
The event not only creates an opportunity to reminisce and relive the wonderful memories that arise while researching and perfecting their favourite recipe, it is also a great opportunity for Bethanie to help close the ever-increasing inter-generational gap between our seniors and youngsters.
The Big Bethanie Bake Off will showcase our clients' culinary prowess and offer the chance to win amazing prizes, whilst leaving an everlasting legacy with all finalist recipes being published in a special recipe booklet.

Icona Pop – 'This Is… Icona Pop' album review
Not bad, but the Swedish duo sell themselves short in the name of pop music
In trying to find that all-important second hit single, Icona Pop have essentially turned themselves into an EDM-era version of Shampoo ('Uh oh... we're in trouble!'). After 'I Love It', which opens the album, the next six tracks are an onslaught of shouty vocals, pounding beats and churning synth sounds familiar from recent David Guetta and Calvin Harris hits. Some of these tunes are a lot of fun, especially 'On a Roll' with its 'Tom's Diner'-style 'do-do-do' vocal hook, but it's hard to shake the feeling that Icona Pop have reduced themselves slightly. The duo actually released a debut album with a very different tracklisting in Sweden last year, and it contained a much wider and more interesting palette of pop sounds.
To be fair, towards the end 'This Is... Icona Pop' does chuck in a few more subdued tunes like the Journey-influenced power ballad 'Just One Night', before ending with the brilliant 'Then We Kiss', which sounds like an old new wave hit on MDMA. 'Then We Kiss' isn't massively different from the tracks at the start of the album, but it tweaks the formula in a clever and unexpected way. If 'This Is... Icona Pop' had tried this more often, it could have been the total blast of a pop album that it clearly wants to be. Buy this album here

Energy drinks are expected to do simply what the name indicates - provide you an additional burst of energy. As it ends up, the majority of that "energy" originates from 2 cornerstones: sugar and caffeine. A common energy drink can consist of approximately 80 milligrams of caffeine (about the exact same quantity as a cup of coffee). By contrast, a 2006 research study discovered that the typical 12-ounce soda consists of 18 to 48 mg of caffeine.
How Energy Drinks Works ?
Aside from caffeine levels, how do energy drinks vary from sodas and sports drinks? Sodas are generally water, sugar and flavoring. They do not do anything for your body; they're simply expected to taste great. Sports drinks are developed to renew fluids lost throughout activity. They normally consist of water, electrolytes and sugar. Energy drinks have actually included caffeine and other active ingredients that their makers state boost endurance and "boost" efficiency. They're developed for students, athletes and any individual else who really wants an additional energy kick.
Energy drinks ended up being popular in Asia long prior to they reached the United States. In 1962, Japanese pharmaceutical business, Taisho, launched its Lipovitan D drink. It was created to assist workers strive well into the night. Lipovitan D consists of taurine, the exact same active ingredient discovered in numerous these days's energy drinks.
The first "energy" drink to reach the United States had not been actually an energy drink at all - it was even more of a hyped-up soda called Jolt Cola. The "shock" in the soda was a great deal of sugarcoated and caffeine. Presented in the 1980s, Jolt Cola rapidly ended up being a staple of college schools.
Jolt Cola, the very first "energy drink," came out in the 1980s and has actually continued to be popular with university student.
An Austrian business owner called Dietrich Mateschitz detected the money risk of energy drinks while on a company journey to Asia. In addition to 2 Thai company partners, Mateschitz began the business Red Bull GmbH, with the concept of marketing the drink to young Europeans. Lots of clubs on the American West Coast captured wind of the Red Bull phenomenon and started importing it to offer as a mixed drink mixer.
Red Bull started dispersing its drink in the United States in 1997. According to its producer, earnings doubled each year, reaching even more than $1 billion in 2000. Although Red Bull has actually regularly been the leader in the energy drink market, a number of other business have actually introduced their own energy drink lines. Numerous of them are backed by celebs.
What are the Ingredients of Energy Drinks ?
Right here are a few of the components you could discover in popular energy drinks and exactly what they perform in the body:
- Ephedrine - A stimulant that deals with the central nerves. It is a typical component in weight-loss items and decongestants, however there have actually been issues about its results on the heart.
- Taurine - A natural amino acid produced by the body that assists control heart beat and contraction. Lots of wellness specialists aren't sure exactly what result it has as a drink additive (and the report that taurine originates from bull testicles is incorrect).
- Ginseng - A root thought by some to have numerous medical homes, consisting of decreasing tension and improving energy levels.
- B-vitamins - A group of vitamins that can transform sugar to energy and enhance muscle tone.
- Guarana seed - A stimulant that originates from a little bush belonging to Venezuela and Brazil.
- Carnitine - An amino acid that contributes in fatty acid metabolic process.
- Creatine - A natural acid that assists supply energy for contraction.
- Inositol - A member of the vitamin B complex (not a vitamin itself, due to the fact that the body can manufacture it) that assists relay messages within cells in the body.
- Ginkgo biloba - Made from the seeds of the ginkgo biloba tree, believed to boost memory.
Taking a look at the active ingredients, energy drinks seem part soda and part dietary supplement. According to customers, the taste falls within the exact same variety. Individuals who have actually attempted energy drinks have actually explained the taste as varying from "medical" to "molten Sweet Tart"
Although the producers declare that energy drinks can improve your endurance and performance, many wellness specialists disagree. Any boost you get from drinking them, they say, is entirely from the sugar and caffeine.
Caffeine works by obstructing the effects of adenosine, a brain chemical associated with sleep. When caffeine obstructs adenosine, it triggers nerve cells in the brain to fire. Believing the body is in an emergency situation, the pituitary gland starts the body's "battle or air travel" feedback by launching adrenaline. This hormone makes the heart beat quicker and the eyes dilate. It likewise triggers the liver to release additional sugar into the blood stream for energy. Caffeine impacts the levels of dopamine, a chemical in the brain's satisfaction center. All these physical feedbacks make you feel as though you have more energy.
There are hundreds of energy drinks on the U.S. market, however the majority of them include really comparable active ingredients.
Energy drinks are usually safe, however like a lot of things, you ought to drink them in small amounts. Due to the fact that caffeine is a stimulant - consuming a great deal of it can result in heart palpitations, stress and anxiety and sleeping disorders - it likewise can make you feel tense and cranky. With time, caffeine can end up being addicting. It is likewise a diuretic - it triggers the kidneys to eliminate additional fluid into the pee. That leaves less fluid in the body. so consuming an energy drink while you're exercising can be particularly dangerous. The combination of the diuretic impact and sweating can severely dehydrate you.
Lots of people blend energy drinks with vodka or other alcohol to make a high-energy cocktail. Considering that alcohol is a depressant, it has a tranquilizing effect on the body that can make you uninformed of just how much you're consuming. One research study discovered that guys who integrated energy drinks with alcohol felt alert and sober, although they were really drunk. And considering that both alcohol and energy drinks dehydrate you, when integrated they can trigger your body's fluids to drop to harmful levels. In 1991, 2 individuals in Sweden who drank alcohol with an energy drink apparently died of dehydration, although it was never conclusively proved that the energy drink resulted in their deaths.
Other ingredients can also be problematic. For instance, the stimulant ephedrine, a component in many decongestants, can cause heart problems. In 2001, two California senior high school students fainted after consuming energy drinks including ephedrine. Due to the fact that hardly any study has actually been done on the lasting wellness results of eating excess quantities of taurine and other ingredients in energy drinks, lots of wellness specialists advise pregnant women and little ones to prevent them.
Red Bull could be the very best selling energy drink in the United States, however it isn't really so popular in other nations. In 2000, the French government chose to prohibit Red Bull after the brand name was connected to the death of an 18-year-old Irish athlete. The teen passed away after consuming 4 cans of Red Bull at a video game. French laws determine the optimum quantity of caffeine that business can contribute to items, and Red Bull goes beyond that limitation. Denmark and Norway have actually likewise prohibited the drink. Other nations, such as Canada, need the can to lug a caution label for pregnant ladies and youngsters.

Wellington, FL – January 5, 2013 – JustWorld International is thrilled to announce the commencement of their Leadership Development Program, beginning this January. The program will run January 21 – March 4, 2013, that will aid youth leaders in becoming educated philanthropists. The youth of our generation are the future of philanthropy in society. The JustWorld Leadership Development Program will guide them the essential skills to understand the mission and work of a philanthropist, while building the next generation of leaders committed to building and maintaining a just world.
In partnership with Private Tutoring Services, JustWorld has worked in tandem to build an experiential program that will not only cultivate leadership potential, but also provide a basic understanding of philanthropy in the 21st Century. Held every Monday, January 21-March 3, 2013, at the Palm Beach International Academy, located in Wellington, FL, students will gain knowledge from professionals in the field with an outstanding lineup of speakers, team evaluations, brainstorming and multimedia tools.
Each module is taught by a carefully selected panel of guest speakers ranging from Fortune 500 business owners, former Olympic riders and highly respected specialized professionals with knowledge and experience pertaining to each module's focus. Using their own personal experiences to cover the essentials of this course, the guest speakers will also work with JustWorld moderators to create a well-rounded and beneficial program.
"I am a huge fan of JustWorld's mission and their ability to connect the equestrian world with the world of those in need," Carlene Ziegler, Artisan Partners Director, remarked. "Bringing along the next generation of philanthropic leadership is a fantastic addition to that mission. I have always sought to instill philanthropic values in my children and in the young people who work for me, and I am delighted to be a speaker for the Leadership Development Program."
There will be essential key resources used throughout the seven-week course including, the JustWorld Fundraising Guide, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and the Hofstede Cultural Differences Model to explain key techniques, needs and relationships in class. As the pilot course, this is only the beginning to what the future can hold for the JustWorld Leadership Development Program. It is JustWorld's hope to see this program spread across the globe to continue to raise global awareness, leadership and fundraising in all corners and countries.
The Leadership Development Program is designed to include two units of three modules each. During the first unit, students will have the opportunity to gain a wealth of knowledge from Executive Director of Private Tutoring Services JoAnn Weiner, Jan Solomon, of the Swiss Consulting Group, and JustWorld Facilitator Sam Ziegler. The first module will delve into the introduction and concept of philanthropy, its connection to the JustWorld mission, and what it means to be philanthropic. With the leadership of guest speakers professional rider Juan Andres Rodriguez-initiator of bringing JustWorld to Guatemala, business owner Tim Dutta, and Executive Director and Founder of Pivotal Directions Jeff Wenzler, during the second module, students will learn the basic needs of developing nations, how organizations such as JustWorld help fulfill basic needs, providing a brighter future through philanthropy, and the differences in cultural values.

The group of students will have two weeks to complete their fundraising project with a defined vision, mission, goals, objectives and tactics used to effectively accomplish their fundraising. The Leadership Development Program will meet for the final class on March 4, 2013, where JoAnn Weiner and Jan Solomon will act as guest speakers for the final module, wrapping up the seminar and reviewing the experiential learning.

Full text not available from this repository.
Little is known about the physiological effects for crew and passenger when sleeping in airplanes under hypobaric conditions. At cruising altitude the cabin pressure equals an altitude of 8000 ft. At the DLR-Institute of Aerospace Medicine, 16 healthy subjects (8 female, average age 28 years ± 4 SD), slept in a pressure chamber furnished as crew-rest-compartment during a realistic flight simulation concerning atmospheric conditions and noise. Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), heart rate, and Sleep-EEG were recorded during the 4h sleep period. Morning performance was tested using an unstable tracking task reflecting typical operator demands. A control group of 16 subjects (8 female, average age 26 years ± 6 SD), slept 4h in private sleeping rooms of the DLR-isolation unit in normobaric conditions.SpO2 and heart rate differed significantly between groups (p<0.0001). During sleep period time (SPT) a mean SpO2 level of 96% (± 1 SD) and a mean heart rate of 62 bpm (± 8 SD) were measured in normobaric conditions, whereas mean SpO2 level in the pressure chamber was 88% (± 1 SD) with a mean heart rate of 73 bpm (± 7 SD). In hypobaric conditions for 83% (± 5%) of SPT the average SpO2 dropped below 90% and for 4% of SPT even below 85% SpO2. The mean minimum SpO2-level was 81% (± 3 SD). SPT and sleep efficiency did not differ between groups, but deep sleep (p<0.05) and REM sleep (p<0.01) were significantly reduced in hypobaric conditions in favor of the light sleep phases (N1 p<0.05, N2 p<0.01). Performance was significantly impaired in the experimental group (p<0.05).The recuperative function for crew members sleeping in a crew-rest-compartment during flight seems limited since performance and sleep are impaired, and SpO2 drops considerably. Sleep aboard an airplane induced hypobaric hypoxia in young, healthy subjects. To date, the degree of arterial hypoxemia that should be considered as being harmful remains unclear. However, passengers with a SpO2 below 85% in the hypoxic challenge test are recommended to receive supplemental oxygen during flight. For risk groups sleep during flight should be regarded with care.

In another breakthrough in the rape of a five-year-old girl in the national capital, the police on Monday arrested the second accused in the case in Bihar.
The man, identified as Pradeep, was arrested by the Delhi Police with assistance from the special task force and the Bihar Police, at Barahiyya in Lakhisarai district. He was produced before the chief judicial magistrate, who allowed the Delhi Police to take him along on a three-day transit remand. Bihar Director-General of Police Abhayanand said: "The second suspect was brought to Patna from Lakhisarai, after which he would be flown to Delhi."
Pradeep has apparently confessed to his involvement in brutalising the minor victim during interrogation by the Bihar Police. His name was revealed by main accused Manoj Kumar, who was arrested at Muzaffarpur in Bihar on April 20.
Kumar's family was vocal in expressing their disgust at his hideous act. His wife, Archana, has demanded death sentence for her husband.
"How could he do this? Hang him till death," said Archana, who was married to Manoj last year. Archana's father, Mahendra Shah, is now persuading his daughter to divorce Manoj.
"I feel so ashamed in having such a son-in-law that I could not sleep for the last two days. I am trying to convince my daughter that it's better to remain without a husband than being the wife of a rape accused," he said.
Meanwhile, Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde and Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar have ruled out resigning in the wake of protests over the rape. Shinde, in his statement in the Lok Sabha, said the joint commissioner of police (vigilance) has been asked to conduct an inquiry and probe allegations that some police officials tried to silence the victim's family with a bribe.
Kumar said at a press conference that stepping down will not solve the basic problem. "The issue is of mental depravity, psychopathy and mental sickness and these won't be solved by anyone resigning," he said. "Exemplary action will be taken against erring police officers."
The victim, who is recuperating at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), was put on a liquid and semi-liquid diet. Doctors at AIIMS said her condition has improved.

IT Leaders, It's Time to Give It Up
If you want to know what keeps IT leaders up at night, check out this oh-so-depressing article. Entitled "Why The New Normal Could Kill IT," is a well-written summary of the challenges and risks that IT faces as it tries to navigate the new economic order with complex and difficult-to-change technology, poor technology adoption, and the reality that consumer technology is outpacing enterprise technology.
The core thesis of the article is that IT's survival depends on its ability to help the rest of the business apply new, disruptive technologies cheaper and faster than ever before. These mandates aren't new, but time is running out: "There's a hoard of tech trouble at the gates, and users today have as much patience as those stranded in long lines at the DMV."
Business users want, and need, more direct control over the technology that fuels their business. Ensuring that business users exercise increased control in a responsible manner requires that they become smarter about how to invest, manage, and deliver IT-enabled change and innovation.

2– Put some meat on your LinkedIn profile. The same revised biographical info on your firm website can go on LinkedIn. Be sure the copy is about how you serve and succeed for clients and not a laundry list of fancy titles and bar memberships.
3 — Learn how to use the Advanced Search capabilities on LinkedIn to create a powerful list of prospects customized by items such as geography, job title, company, etc.
4 — Consider launching a practice-specific blog. And, no, you don't have to blog every day. You can post as little as once per week or month and the posts can be just a few sentences or a short audio or video.
5 — Create a Twitter account and start Tweeting every few days. An easy way to start is by sharing other people's news that is related to your practice or linking to your new blog post.
6 — Record and post to YouTube a 2 to 3 minute video that analyzes a hot legal issue in your practice (s) area. This is one way to establish/expand your thought leadership and will improve your search engine results very quickly. Here's one we did for a client earlier this year that received 8,000+ views and another that has surpassed 10,000 views.
7 — Identify and secure speaking engagements where your best prospects gather. Want to be a more powerful presenter? Study Steve Jobs and read The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs. You can also watch a wide variety of great presentations at TED. Here's one by Seth Godin that is a great example of excellent presentation and inspiring content.
8– Learn how to deal more effectively with the media and consider hiring a professional who can help you with messaging, transitions, body language and answering the toughest questions. (At LawFirmsPR, we now do this kind of training by Skype, including a video recording and written audit, so you can quickly learn and improve.)
9– Increase your likability and trust. I highly recommend reading The Likability Factor, Trust Agents and Book Yourself Solid.
10– Learn more about crisis/litigation communications for your firm and your clients. A good place to start is The Crisis Show, a weekly Internet broadcast I started in June 2012 with case studies on a wide variety of crises that touch the legal world — and with nearly 20 hours of free content so far.
Law Firm Marketing Tools And Tips Using the (new) iPad
Here are some apps and ideas for lawyers and law firms that want to harness the power of (the new) iPad to be more efficient and to reach new prospects.
Videotaping Seminars & Speaking Engagements
Videotape your seminars, speaking engagements and other firm events in high definition using the native Camera app. But if you want to shoot, edit and upload all inside of one app, then consider Vimeo, Avid Studio or iMovie. Avid Studio makes it easy to upload clips directly to YouTube and Facebook. The iMovie app has a steeper learning curve than Vimeo and Avid, but it has the best sharing features, allowing you to upload to YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook and even CNN's iReport.
Vimeo is also a great video hosting site alternative for professionals who want to avoid the often-juvenile and ad-filled YouTube channels and pages, but I recommend posting to both for optimal search engine results.
In a crisis, all these video tools can also be used to record and quickly distribute a managing partner's media statement.
Law Firm Photos & Graphics
Use the built-in Camera app, but for more versatility and precision, use Pro Camera. To edit photos right on the iPad, use either PhotoShop Express or iPhoto for the iPad, but please, do NOT stand in front of law books, law degrees or staircases when posing! SmugMug (an app and desktop) is a great place to post your photos and is used by many professional photographers. Pinterest is also increasingly being used by businesses to showcase photos and infographics, as well as videos.
Taking Notes–Text and Audio
Notability, Evernote and Penultimate are my three favorite note-taking apps. You can use your fingers for all three (Notability the best for this) or a stylus. Evernote also includes audio recordings. Use Dragon for dictation as the accuracy of this program has vastly improved in recent years.
Staying on top of the news
Try Mr. Reader, an RSS feed that lets you stay on top of all the news by topic, practice, industry, etc. I also like the iPad apps for AP (Associated Press), Reuters Pro, Bloomberg, BBC News, CBS News, CNBC and The Drudge Report, because it has so many news links in one place. Newspapers is a nicely designed app to search for media websites from around the world.
Business Social Media Apps
Instead of Twitter, use Tweetbot, which has a better interface that provides quick access to law firm mentions, messages and retweets.
Flipboard — Great way to use Facebook and Twitter for easy reading and posting.
LinkedIn — The top business app was recently revamped and it's gorgeous. Now you can even integrate your calendar and see key information on one page with minimal navigation.
Google+ — Great place to create a law firm page that connects back to your website. Use it for posting links from your website, blogs, photo albums, video channels and more.
Jeffrey Gitomer's Little Pocket Reference — Videos, articles and blog posts from the guy who has redefined sales. He also got me hooked on the phrase "business social media."
Keynote — Apple's intuitive and beautiful app for preparing slide presentations, it outdoes Powerpoint. PresenterPro and Present (60 Presentation Tips) will improve your content and stage presence.
OK..this isn't really for marketing, but to relax before, during or after all your hard work! Check out NPR Music, Aweditorium (great new music, amazing interface), Wolfgang's Vault (incredible audio from live concerts for us baby boomers) AOL Radio and Pandora. And if you're not crazy about iTunes design, try OnCue for your music player.
What are your favorite iPad apps? Please chime in.
General Counsel Echo What Many Legal PR, Legal Marketers Have Been Saying For Years
This is a great piece of video because it supports what many of us in law firm public relations and legal marketing have been saying to lawyers and law firms for years about the best way to get business from general counsel.
Nearly Half of General Counsels Surveyed Haven't Updated Their Crisis Management Plans
A story in General Counsel magazine published today points out that 47 percent of GC's have not updated their crisis-management plan to take account of the risks they may face in 2012, compared with only 36 percent who said they had.
As someone who has long advised lawyers, law firms and companies on crisis management, here are some immediate actions these GC's (and their outside law firms) might take:
1) Create a crisis communications team right now if you don't have one. Depending on the company size, the team should include the CEO, COO, GC, key outside attorney, HR officer, chief marketing officer, top public affairs/public relations staffer (or senior person from outside PR agency) and heads of information technology and building security. If your company has multiple offices, include the top executives in those offices as well.
2) Gather the team in a conference room to assess/discuss brewing crisis situations. Some could be leftover from 2011 and others might be right over the horizon. Every company has a few on any given day. They range from disgruntled employees, crimes committed by employees or executives, allegations of sexual harassment, allegations of age/race/religious discrimination, lawsuits alleging faulty products, or a negative story about the company's products or services that are about to be published in a major business magazine, online and on radio/television. Of course, there are also the many "no fault" crisis situations like natural disasters and terrorism that every business needs to plan for.
3) Adjust your crisis management/crisis communications plan to include these scenarios and the real crisis situations that you know are particular to your company right now and in the near future.
4) Have your public relations professionals begin to DRAFT media statements that would respond to any of the crisis situations that you know are about to happen or to prepare for some of the items listed above in #2. Then, rehearse how your team will respond to various crisis situations. Some key things to remember here: insure that all members of the crisis communications team know their roles in a crisis, that everyone has full contact information of the entire team, and that the company speaks with one voice.
5) Check your social media. Are you answering customer complaints quickly and responsibly? Are you using Facebook/Twitter/YouTube to communicate your company's goodwill and mission? Do you have a SENIOR person managing these accounts who understands online reputation and not just the technology?
Finally, please note that there are three key timelines in a crisis: Before, During and After. Too many companies don't pay attention to these issues until they are in the middle of a crisis. So get prepared long before the crisis hits.

Legal Malpractice Suits and Law Firm Crisis Communications
Here's an insightful column by a Florida lawyer who says that greed plus the recession are the key contributing factors to the increase in malpractice suits filed against law firms in the past two years.
For many years, I've written about and advised law firms on crisis communications planning to deal with the threat of malpractice suits. For guidance on crisis communications for law firms, read my articles here and here.

>I've decided, as of tomorrow, I most likely will be cranky for a few days. I may be irritable, irrational and some other word that starts with "i". Perhaps I shall be impossible. Ill-tempered, if you will. And what is the cause of this? What could possibly happen that would make me act in such a way, a way that hardly is different from any other day?
I'm giving up one of my 'bad habits'.
Constantly inspecting and re-inspecting life has led me to believe I have room for improvement. I have not yet attained perfection, so I must assess myself regularly. Perhaps too regularly, most likely, not often enough. But auditing my present state of being is habitual. (Not that I will be curbing that proclivity any time soon!)
Where was I? Creating a preemptive apology for being cranky.
So, what possible tendency could I deny myself that would cause me to become so irascible? Is it possible that I could really become so incensed over the loss of one impulsion? And why should I even try to relieve myself of this dependence, if it's only going to cause extreme ire?
So many irritating inquiries!
Perhaps I am choosing to deny myself this impulse because the impulse itself is daily causing me to be infuriated. Constantly I find myself imprisoned in its influence. Irked by its idiosyncrasy. Irate by its irrationality. I… I… I am running out of words that start with the letter 'i'.
All of this to say, I'm sorry if I behave erratically (I really wish that word was spelled 'irratically', that sentence would've been far more fun). I may seem out of sorts, perhaps disconnected, but I will try to behave. And eventually, the fog may clear and I'll have the ability to think for myself again, without the influence of this awful inclination.
So today, I say adieu. Adios. Farewell. So long. Cheerio. Ciao. Hasta la vista. Godspeed. Sayonara. Arrivederci. May the road rise to meet you… I shall miss you, but over time, the separation will not seem so severe. Tomorrow as I ingest my morning coffee quota, I will try to ponder new things. New thoughts, new ideas, have new conversations with my kiddos. And I will not miss my daily newspaper. I will not! And I'll try not to misbehave out of frustration from breaking my insipid routine. Really. You don't believe me? Wanna make something of it?!

The tale of an 'Iron Lady'
Nearly every street in Chennai has a man or a woman ironing clothes from dawn to dusk. In this quiet street of Kilpauk, Varalakshmi has been ironing clothes for the residents of the street for the past 40 years with determination and sincerity.
"Ironing has been serving my bread and butter all through my life so far. I brought my children up with the money I earned from this, after the early demise of my husband," Varalakshmi says. She receives 150 clothes a day on an average and thus earns around Rs. 350 a day.
She has learnt to iron all by herself, by just watching others iron. Having been doing this for more than four decades, she loves her job. She couldn't educate her son and daughter, but is now determined to educate her grandchildren and see them in big jobs some day.
What does she feel about the increase in the number of women working outside the home? She says, "We were always taught that women were the inferior sex. Now the world is turning upside down, so this isn't much of a surprise and I am very happy about it. Being a woman bread winner of the family, I was initially mocked at, but now people have started to admire me and take me as an example." She also doubles as a real estate broker as she always knows houses which are for rent or for sale.
Varalakshmi signs off saying, "Life has taught me to be brave, to fight back and never be subjected to injustice. Moreover, it has taught me to always put 'us ' before 'I'."

Surveillance video catches missing 96-year-old Jessie Thompson getting on M100 bus the day she disappearedPosted: Updated:
New surveillance video shows a nursing home patient missing since Sunday getting on a bus.
The video catches 96-year-old Jessie Thompson getting on the M100 bus this past Sunday at 125th Street and Saint Nicholas Avenue. She had left the Jewish Life Care Center on West Kingsbridge Road earlier in the day.
The nursing home's administrator initially told News 12 The Bronx that Thompson does not have dementia. A spokesperson for the nursing home has since corrected the statement and confirmed Thompson does have dementia. When Thompson disappeared, she was not wearing an alarm to notify the facility if she wandered away. The facility says that dementia patients normally wear the alarm.
Anyone who has seen Thompson is asked to call police.

It is a proven fact that the design of your online store has an impact on its revenue potential. That's where BigCommerce's Stencil framework is set to transform the industry. This is a dynamic theme engine with cleaner development process and flexible templating systems. The framework makes use of "Handlebars" language, and that lets your template do multiple things at the same time. Moreover, designers can now design as well as iterate themes locally, have access to third-party marketplaces, use a powerful theme editor, and personalize the theme to suit the retailer's individual needs.
BigCommerce Stencil presents a solid platform that allows designers to create aesthetically appealing, highly functional, and robust storefronts that deliver enviable user experiences on online stores that are hosted on BigCommerce.
Stencil has opened up a new era of opportunities by presented unprecedented features to Bigcommerce themes. This includes graphical editor, flexible local development, potent SASS platform, and much more.
It is now possible to develop locally by copying your Stencil theme onto the local system. Now, you can make any changes you want to with full access to all the assets. Moreover, you will not interrupt the live site in the process.
Time is money in today's time, and Stencil saves you a lot of it. If your Bigcommerce designer have to make any changes to site layouts, you can do that with just a few clicks. That's the power of the Stencil framework.
You need to create intuitive and memorable UIs for you to capture the fancy of your shoppers. Stencil presents a range of tools for the same, all driven by Javascript event.
Finally, flexibility is another key distinguisher of BigCommerce Stencil. As mentioned earlier, it makes use of the "HandleBars" templating language. This makes the entire process powerful as well as extremely flexible.
When compared with the previous template framework of BigCommerce, stencil brings some fundamental changes to the framework and components. Here's a brief summary of the same:
Developer Toolkit: The developer toolkit allows the designers to edit themes at a local level. This can be done without interrupting the live storefront.
Theme Editor: This aspect of the framework is meant to let designers make quick customizations to the design of the theme. This doesn't require coding knowledge.
Storefront: The storefront allows theme-sellers and BigCommerce designers to acquire the themes, apply them to storefronts, and edit those; all of this is hassle-free.
Most Ecommerce stores provide you with a single theme that offers just one variation. Stencil, on the other hand, offers themes that can be translated into 4 different themes. This brings more options and better possibilities.
Stencil theming engine makes use of the conventions of YAML Front Matter. This makes your site more efficient by loading only that component of the entire site that has is required.
With the help of BigCommerce Stencil, you have absolute control over your storefront. This means that it is absolutely possible for you to personalize the view and content of the site for individual shoppers.
When you are testing, you have to load each page manually to check their performance on different browsers. With Browser Sync, Stencil lets you see changes for any screen size absolutely easily.
