You are here
Think Like a Shrink to Succeed
Bentley's PreparedU Project is dedicated to preparing millennials for success in business and in life. This series provides insights into ways that objective can be accomplished.
You are shaping a new consumer world and, in it, businesses live or die online. No longer can storied brands like Macy's rely on an established reputation — in fact, it's the young startups, not the household names, with the edge nowadays.
We know the rise of the Internet and web-based technologies, which you've embraced with remarkable enthusiasm, are changing the traditional marketplace. The online retail world is growing rapidly and threatens to render brick and mortar stores obsolete.
From a business perspective, it's worth considering the significant role human emotion is playing in this reinvention of consumer culture, according to Gregory Hall, associate professor of Natural and Applied Sciences at Bentley University.
The marketplace must take into account how human behavior is affected by the Internet — the cyber-psychology involved, Hall says. People have changed the way they make purchases and relate to products, he explains. Indeed, they have developed an entirely new relationship with business.
"Companies are struggling to adapt to the online world and learn how to grab customers," says Hall.
Yes, success in business today requires you grasp rational economic theory, he says, but it also means thinking like a psychologist: You must develop insight into how individuals actually behave, which is often irrational.
Attracting customers in the emerging digital culture requires that you incorporate psychological concepts in order to create business models that fit this new habitat, Hall says. Here are a few of the behavioral trends to look out for. People online tend to:
1. Favor the familiar relationship over the new.
In 1994, Jeff Bezos founded what quickly became the flagship model for Internet-based retail companies: Amazon. The public, wary at first, started feeling comfortable about shopping online largely because of Amazon. In 1997, Amazon had 1.5 million customers, according to Statista, an online statistics portal. By 2007, it had 76 million. By 2014, Amazon had 270 million customers.
The business has cultivated an image — and delivered a standard of service — that has won the loyalty of people across the globe. It now has retail sites both here and in Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Spain.
One of the reasons it will be extremely difficult for other online retail companies to catch up with Amazon is psychological, says Hall. People trust in the familiar.
Just recently, Walmart, the world's largest retailer, announced that it will test a new unlimited shipping service for online shoppers that will be priced below Amazon's Prime service. Walmart's online business has seen a slowdown. The company is making a major bid to accelerate its online growth.
The going will be tough. Although Walmart is economically powerful, it's as a huge disadvantage, according to Hall.
"Walmart is late to the game," he says. "Human behavior is such that when people begin to shop, they tend to stick with the retailer they start out with unless there is a significant bad experience. And Amazon doesn't deliver a bad experience. It will be interesting to see what Walmart can do to lure customers away from Amazon."
2. Favor the clear identity over the complicated.
Nowadays startup companies with no previous history have a psychological advantage, says Hall. If your identity has been created online, you'll have an easier go of it than long established companies struggling to transition.
For instance, take a closer look at Macy's, a landmark outlet. Such companies are doing their best to adopt a new identity but retail companies native to the digital age have a clear one from the outset.
"Transitioning from a brick and mortar presence is difficult," says Hall. "Not very many companies can compete with those that began online."
Early in 2015, Macy's launched initiatives to accelerate its growth. Macy's and Bloomingdale's adopted polices that signal their admission that people now shop on their phones and computers — the department store outing is bound to become a tradition of the past. Among other things, the corporation turned its attention toward fast delivery of products bought online. Still, what do you think of when you hear Macy's? Exactly.
In 2014, Cyber Sales Monday sales were up 8.7 percent compared with 2013. That's a sharp contrast with the mostly bad news for brick-and-mortar stores, which saw about 6 million fewer shoppers the same weekend, with overall spending down about 11 percent, according to the National Retail Federation.
Hall says part of the problem is that older establishments are trying to maintain their traditional identity even as they develop an online presence — but people don't think of them in an outline kind of way.
3. Favor the adopted innovative over the traditional.
In this digital era, the traditional — as opposed to the innovative — outfits are not likely to make it, says Hall.
"We see that coming," he says. "Travel agencies are struggling because younger people, and even middle-aged folks, are organizing their own travel arrangements online, using Expedia and so on.
"You see the same thing happening with telephone companies. Younger people don't buy landlines — they've gone completely cellular. I don't know how the landline telephone companies are going to be able to maintain their business model."
Hall says the post office is a big loser in the new online environment.
"Most people communicate online," he explains. "Most people would struggle to tell you the last time they wrote a letter, which is one reason why the postal system is billions of dollars in red ink."
The downward spiral is stunning. The agency has lost nearly $26 billion over the past three years, former postmaster general Patrick R. Donahoe said in a recent speech at the National Press Club.
When all is said and done, says Hall, this is all good news for the up and coming.
"There is an advantage for young people," he says. "There is a huge generational split between companies started online and those that have not been. And online is where the opportunities exist."

text: Good morning! A very busy week in the weather department and the low pressure is looking very impressive off the West Coast. We'll see rain develop later today and tonight through tomorrow with the snow level dropping to 9000 feet tomorrow. A series of colder systems will move across the area Tuesday through Thursday with the snow level lowering into the Basin for a little bit, then even lower Wednesday and Thursday. We'll see a couple of feet of new snow above 9000 feet through the week, and certainly much colder with the ability to make snow at the Park City Mountain Resort. We'll see at least a couple of inches down here in the Basin!

State Street Corporation, known as State Street, is an American worldwide financial services holding company. State Street was founded in 1792 and is the second oldest financial institution in the United States of America. The company's headquarters are at One Lincoln Street in Boston and it has offices in 29 countries around the world.
State Street is organized into three main divisions. The Global Services business is a custodian bank with $28 trillion (USD) of assets under custody and administration.[1] The Global Advisors business provides investment management services and has $2.45 trillion (USD) of assets under management.[1] The Global Markets business offers investment research and trading services to institutional investors.
State Street's past can be dated back to the founding years of Boston's banking industry. In 1792 the Union Bank became the third bank to be chartered in Boston and was located at the corner of State and Exchange Streets.[3] State Street was known as the "Great Street to the Sea" as Boston became a flourishing maritime capital. The clipper in State Street's logo today reflects this period.
In 1865 the Union Bank received a national charter and became the National Union Bank of Boston. State Street Deposit & Trust Co opened alongside National Union in 1891. It became the custodian of the first US mutual fund in 1924, the Massachusetts Investors Trust.[3] State Street and National Union merged in 1925.
State Street's growth during the mid-1900s was fueled by mergers and acquisitions. It merged with the Second National Bank in 1955 and with the Rockland-Atlas National Bank in 1961. William Edgerly gained control in 1975 and shifted the company's strategy from commercial banking to investments and securities processing.[3]
The company began investing heavily in technologies for securities management and custodian processing. It was helped by a partial acquisition of Boston Financial Data Services in 1973.[3] More than 100 top staff from IBM were headhunted by State Street as it set about implementing IBM mainframe systems.
State Street's new building was completed in 1966 and became the first high-rise office tower in downtown Boston. In 1972 the company opened its first international office in Munich. For much of the 1980s and 1990s it expanded to foreign markets with offices in Montreal, Toronto, Dublin, London, Paris, Dubai, Sydney, Wellington, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.[3]
It was the early 1990s before State Street brought its technology platform to international markets. By 1992 most of State Street's revenue came from fees for holding securities, settling trades, keeping records, and performing accounting.[3] It formed a new global asset management business in 1994 and in 1999 divested its retail and commercial banking businesses to Citizens Financial Group.
State Street acquired Kansas City, Missouri-based Investors Fiduciary Trust Co. in 1995 for $162 million (USD) from DST Systems, and Kemper Financial Services. In 2003 it purchased Deutsche Bank's securities services division for $1.5 billion (USD).[4] State Street purchased Investors Financial Services for $4.5 billion (USD) in 2007.[5] In 2010 it acquired Mourant International Finance Administration and the securities services group of Intesa Sanpaolo.[3]
State Street was named by the G-20 as amongst the world's 29 systemic banks and must meet all conditions of the Basel III accord.[6] The company now employs 29,530 people around the world.[7] It claims to have funds under management of $2.45 trillion (USD)[1] and assets under custody and administration of $28 trillion (USD), second to The Bank of New York Mellon.
State Street Global Advisors
Global Advisors is State Street's asset management business and dates back to 1978. It provides investment management, research, and advisory services to corporations, mutual funds, insurance companies, and other institutional investors.[8] Global Advisors develops both passive and active management strategies using both quantitative and fundamental approaches.[7]
It created the first exchange-traded fund in 1993, the SPDR S&P 500, and is now one of the world's largest ETF providers.[9] Global Advisors has staff in 27 global offices[8] and claims to have over $2.45 trillion (USD) of funds under management.[1]
In November 2014, State Street Global Advisors sold SSARIS to senior management.[10]
State Street Global Markets
Global Markets is State Street's securities business. It offers research, trading, and securities lending services for foreign exchange, equities, fixed income, and derivatives.[11] The company claims to be a trading partner free from conflicted interests as it does not run proprietary trading books.[12] Global Markets maintains trading desks in Boston, London, Sydney, Toronto, and Tokyo.
State Street Global Services
Global Services is the investment servicing division of State Street, also known as the State Street Bank & Trust Co. It provides asset owners and managers with custodian (safekeeping, corporate actions), fund accounting (pricing and valuation), and administration (financial reporting, tax, compliance, and legal) services.[7][13]
Global Services handles assets from many classes, including equities, derivatives, exchange-traded funds, fixed income assets, private equity, and real estate. State Street now administers 40 percent of the assets under administration in the US mutual fund market.[14] Global Services also provides outsourcing for operations activities and handles $10.2 trillion (USD) of middle-office assets.[15]
State Street is registered with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as a bank holding company pursuant to the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956.[7] It is a member of the Federal Reserve System and its deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Certain aspects of State Street's public disclosure are subject to the requirements of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002.
State Street's broker-dealer operation, known as Global Markets, is registered with and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.[7] The Prudential Regulation Authority and the London Stock Exchange regulate State Street in the United Kingdom.
In 2009 the State of California alleged on behalf of its pension funds CalPERS and CalSTRS that State Street had committed fraud on currency trades handled by the custodian bank. Two executives from State Street Global Markets left the company in October 2011 following enquiries over the pricing of a fixed income transaction.[16]
State Street in December 2010 announced that it would be retrenching 5% of its workforce and effectively reducing the wages of remaining employees by 10%.[17] In March 2011 it reversed its wage-reduction decision but declared that it would still require all employees to work a longer 40-hour week.
On 28 February 2012, State Street Global Advisors entered into a consent order with the Massachusetts Securities Division. The Division was investigating SSGA's role as the investment manager of a $1.65 billion (USD) hybrid collateralized debt obligation. The investigation resulted in a fine of $5 million (USD) for the non-disclosure of certain initial investors taking a short position on portions of the CDO.[18]
State Street Bank has been accused of "stealth outsourcing" or transferring American jobs to their outsourcing partners Syntel and HCL-India under the radar, in small increments to avoid any political backlash. State Street Bank - the second largest client of Syntel - also has a joint venture in the Indian city of Pune with them which they have the option to buy out. The controversy is compounded by the fact State Street bank received an $11.5 million tax incentive from the city of Boston to move into a new location in the South Boston Innovation District as well as 2 billion in TARP assistance all while still sending jobs overseas.[19]
During the May 2012 annual shareholders meeting, chairman and chief executive Jay Hooley was shouted down on numerous occasions by protesters in relation to the outsourcing and other grievances.[20]

It's the most wonderful time of the year! All those beautiful street lights, busy streets and people rushing to malls, you can really say it's Christmas! As we grow old, our Christmas list gets smaller and the gifts that we want can't be bought by money yet, I still believe that everyone has their own Christmas wish list, tangible or intangible, whatever it is. It's the season to give. So, have you finally thought of what to give to your special love one? Well if iPhone6 or something "too much to contain" is in her wish list knock 'em off and give him/her something affordable yet seems special!
Here's some of the gifts I have come up with for your last-minute shopping:
1) Crystal Caged stone necklace
A DIY of this necklaces can be really special! (I believe there is in YouTube on how to make these). Each and every crystal stone has meanings. For example, honey jade stone means happiness. It's one of the charming gifts you can give to your family and friends. You can get also get this @Ohsnapph (instagram account)
2) A Book
If you are planning to give someone your favorite book, don't forget to put a dedication on the front page or back page of each book! It would remind them that it was the story you've wanted to share. Example of today's good read book is the Landline by Rainbow Rowell. In case you don't know, Rainbow Rowell is the author of the New York's best seller Eleanor and Park
3) Pantone/Venzi notebook
This notebook is unlike the other school notebooks used, for it doesn't have any lines at all and just a blank space. You can give this to someone and ask them to jot down notes and plans for the up coming year 2015!!! (it's blank space is perfect for scribbling too!)
4) Sun Glasses
Sun glasses in advance for the opposite season of winter which is summer!!!! I bet he/she would definitely take good care of it for summer's ootd lol jk
5) Statement shirts
Find some words that you feel sharing with someone and put them on shirts! It could be quotations or bible verse! @seashop has cool and awesome statement shirts while FISHIRTS OF MEN has meaningful and soulful statement shirts!
Whatever gift you plan to give your special loved ones this holiday, price won't matter because it's the thought that counts! Hoping y'all a merry Christmas! Thou shall not forget that He is the true meaning of Christmas. <3

The 2018 Developing Northern Australia Conference is almost here again and will this year be held at Alice Springs Convention Centre over Monday 18 and Tuesday 19 June.
Dr. Ing. Rebecca Murray, Director- Advanced Manufacturing Alliance at Charles Darwin University joins us at the Conference to discuss 'World-first metal 3D printing technology open for business in Darwin'.
A world's first 3D metal printing technology was developed in Darwin to bring metal manufacturing into the digital age. It has changed what is possible to be created with metal 3D printing. Prior technologies are fine-featured, made from exotic and expensive metal powders, and are produced slowly. SPEE3D's technology is 100-1000 times faster and produces strong parts in aluminium and copper and in shapes that are commonly used in industry. It is designed to help reduce the large and limiting lead time and infrastructure needed in current metal manufacturing technologies. Now the first commercial form of the technology, a LightSPEE3D printer, is operational on the Casurina campus of Charles Darwin University and located next to the development branch of SPEE3D.
The presentation will first introduce this new technology and will end by discussing innovation as a practice in Northern Australia.
The technology introduction will cover the basic background of the how the technology functions as well as future applications and technology delivery. To bring the concept to life, a case study will be presented to demonstrate real-world advantages.
Innovation as a practice in Northern Australia will be touched on by discussing the substantial benefits as well as some detriments of working in the north. The benefits include strong government support, short travel time to Singapore, and institutional flexibility. Detriments include a shallow talent pool, high costs sometimes derived from poor understanding of services like certification and regulation, and challenges engaging industry sector opportunity. The current initial success of SPEE3D shows that a global tech company can be launched from Darwin. Discussion will be spent on the offshoot and engagement potential created by having this technology in the form of a LightSPEE3D printer, SPEE3D's development team, a world class university, and strong government support co-located in Northern Australia.
Dr Rebecca Murray is currently working as the director of the Advanced Manufacturing Alliance at CDU to drive industry engagement, VET partnerships, and research on a world-first 3D metal printing technology from SPEE3D. Her background is in both Biomedical Engineering (Dr. Ing, MSc.) and Materials Engineering (BSc) with substantial experience in international collaborations between industry and academia.

Ugh! Do you know when you kinda have a shit time of things and things just get put on the backburner? Well that thing was my blog. Once again, I realised I tend to not bother blogging when shit happens. August was officially a shit month. College fucked up. Gave it a week or two of being pissy about it. Then I realised it's just an extra year, it doesn't slow me down a year – just means I'll have to work extra hard on a portfolio for next year to hopefully get in without a college prepped folio. (Fun times..)
I bucked my ideas up a bit too. I've been attending all the kids school coffee mornings, and taking them to a weekend club as well. Going to parks, going to activities. Which might not sound like a lot to most people.. but for me that was a big deal. I've been crippled with anxiety for a while and it's not the type of anxiety where I freeze up when I'm there – more the whole dreadfully dreading it before it happens type but once I'm there it's usually fine and I always seem to wonder why I worried and I can honestly say it's getting better. I used to get my mum to buy me bits and bobs when she was already at the shop as it'd save me going (also vice versa) but now I'm just getting up and going on my own. I very rarely ever went on my own before. So yeah, combined with the actual going and talking to people I don't know about the kiddiwinkles seems to be doing me quite well.
I've lost 23lbs too. Gonna continue with that, upgraded my charge HR to the fitbit blaze. Kinda still shit on the calorie tracking, but I'll get there. I'm considering joining weightwatchers.. I'll see how confident I get with doing new shit on my tod. As for the blog, I completely installed a new layout, sorted an actual about page. Got rid of links to social media that I don't use whatsoever. Sorted out my adverts (something I'd been meaning to do for an absolute age!) Joined a lot of blogging communities and I read up on a lot of things I didn't even know about running a blog. Such as Domain Authority and No follow links – absolute wumble jumble to me to begin with but the few facebook groups I'm in are a great source of information. Not sure how much of it I plan on taking on board, but it's lodged firmly in my head for now. I've also kinda met a pretty cool person. So we'll see where things go with that.
All in all it's fair to say I'm pretty cheesed up with how things are going.

Female Volleyball Athlete of the Week
Katie Wayling – Camosun Chargers
Katie always brings an energetic style of play to the floor, and this week she displayed her composure under pressure. She led the team through many tight sets with critical serving runs, including six aces, and tenacious defense, yielding 15 digs. She delivered the ball to our hitters with great skill, resulting in 97 assists. As one of our captains, Katie has distinguished herself as a leader. She was instrumental in keeping the team on track and leading the Chargers to two wins last weekend.

Gone are the days of manual key entry of sail numbers and timing equipment. Today, each competitor carries a Locosys GT31 GPS data logger unit. The introduction of GPS units has revolutionised the timing and accuracy of the event. So long as the unit is switched on, carried by the competitor and returned before the closing time at the end of the day, the competitor's positions and speed can be reliably determined.
Each unit accurately records the competitor's position every second of the day. The units are normally housed in waterproof bags and strapped to the competitor's arm. Each unit is individually identifiable and allocated to a single competitor.
Results are generated daily in "near-time" when all of the competitor's GT31 units have been collected after the day's competition. The data is downloaded from each competitor's unit.
The data is processed firstly by Manfred Fuchs' GPSResults software in order to define the course positions and course open/close times and to select all of the competitor's qualifying GPS runs. The software then calculates the speed, duration and direction of each 500m run recorded by each GT31 unit and outputs the raw results for further results processing.
These "preliminary results" files for a specific day are then read by Tim Daish's Excel macro, SSerpant, where some more clever calculations are performed to combine the results with the appropriate competitor information from the registration file. The resulting data is then sorted and output as the various results reports we require. Result processing can also look up the wind speed and direction as recorded during the time of the run and calculate the average values; results can include speed-to-wind speed ratios and course angle sailed relative to the wind.
The day's results and an overall leaderboard are then made available on the website. Results can also be printed and posted up in the marquee.

Neighbors of a proposed 35-acre subdivision adjacent to Rock Bridge Memorial State Park are raising concerns about the number of homes planned and stormwater control near a sensitive watershed.
Southside Trail Estates LLC, a company headed by developer Rob Hill, wants the city to annex the property along the east side of Route K and approve zoning for 54 single-family homes and 22 "villa"-style duplexes. The proposed subdivision, called Parkside Estates, would have R-1 zoning for the single-family homes and planned unit development zoning for the duplexes, which would abut Route K.
Opponents allege the subdivision would violate a city resolution that expresses a "strong preference" for planned development with low density in the Bonne Femme Creek watershed. Planned zoning, as opposed to open zoning such as R-1, gives the city more input into development details.
A public hearing on the proposal is set for Jan. 10 at the Columbia Planning & Zoning Commission. The plan was on the P&Z agenda for its Dec. 6 meeting, but it was tabled at the request of the applicant.
Tim Crockett, whose firm, Crockett Engineering, is designing the development for Hill, said the proposal is being reworked to meet concerns raised at meetings with city officials and area residents.
"I think a lot of it is anytime you develop something next to a park, people think it is just a huge negative impact on the entire stream," Crockett said. "I think that is what we are up against more than anything."
Rock Bridge Memorial State Park Superintendent Jim Gast declined to discuss the proposal, but he said Bill Bryan, director of Missouri State Parks, a division of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, will speak at the Planning & Zoning hearing.
Neither Bryan nor a state parks spokesperson returned repeated calls seeking comment on the development.
Sandy McCann, who lives just north of the proposed development, said she's worried about the density and the potential for runoff to reach caves in the park. Residents in her subdivision were forced to connect to Columbia's sewer system about 10 years ago to end the discharges from a lagoon.
The subdivision should be redesigned so it is less dense, and the entire property should be a planned development, she said. "This would be the only urban-density development in the state of Missouri against a state park," she said. "I don't think that is what Columbia wants."
Devil's Icebox cave is a signature feature of the park and evidence of the karst geology of the area. A losing stream, where water running along the surface has pathways underground, drains the proposed development.
"There will have to be a showing on the part of the applicant that their stormwater management takes into account a very sensitive area," said Tim Teddy, director of Community Development. "In that kind of environment, there is not as much natural filtration of pollutants of stormwater."
The standard will be that water leaving the property should not be contaminated in any way, Teddy said.
The Boone County Planning Division weighed in to remind the city that the watershed plan for Bonne Femme Creek points to low-density, planned developments as best able to minimize environmental impacts. Crockett said the development will meet the stricter standards of the city's stormwater management ordinance and that should satisfy opponents once they understand the proposal.
"We're not asking for any variances on stormwater, not by a long shot," Crockett said.

text: Notes on "Composition: A Way to Make Proofs Harder" by Leslie Lamport ===================================================================== I have now struggled through the whole of "The Temporal Logic of Actions" which is Lamport's TOPLAS ACM paper explaining TLA (Vol 16,872, 1994). I confess that I skimmed a few sections, so I don't vouch for the accuracy of these comments. But as no one else has volunteered any expertize on temporal logic, this will have to do... I have to say that I do not find TLA very appealing, but as Lamport is at pains to emphasize, any unfamiliar notation presents a obstacle and one needs time to become comfortable. But he does seem to make a virtue of avoiding well established mathematical notations which I found irritating. TLA is in the same family as Unity, and of course, ordinary temporal logic. It is really a specification language, but that includes programs. Lamport makes great play of the fact that it is untyped: he emphasizes that a type theory adds complexity, and there are some undecidable situations. There is much in common with Z, except of course that Z is typed (up to a point), and type checking in a Z specification is in my experience a tremendous advantage: it catches so many of my errors. He makes no mention of Z. Yet he comments that "The main reason mathematical formulas seem to get very complicated when they get large is that mathematicians have not developed notations for structuring large formulas." As I have mentioned before, a major contribution of Z is the use of schemas as a way of structuring large specifications. But Lamport does use -- guess what -- *indentation* for writing out predicates! Whatever next? Folding perhaps? :-) TLA seems to be a world of expressions evaluated on traces (he uses this term in some later papers, but calls them behaviours earlier). And his traces are infinite sequences of states, a state being a mapping from a complete universe of Names-->Values. He presents an abstract logic with a fairly small set of inference rules. And a major aim seems to be automatic verification. The "temporal" aspect is this inclusion of a sequence of states, and the introduction of the "always" and "eventually" operators. They are just the obvious quantifiers over the sequence: []F \sigma just means that F is true for all states in the sequence \sigma. "Always" is written [], not to be confused with ALT! The "Action" aspect is an attempt to constrain and simplify temporal logic. An action is a state transformation -- expressed as a predicate. In order to allow refinement, and because state covers the whole universe (hiding is included, but hides only variables within expressions, *not* parts of state), he needs to permit "irrelevant" state transitions. This is what he calls "stuttering". But now there are state transitions/actions which make no progress, so such specifications now have to include "liveness" requirements. Since nondeterminism is present because specifications will almost always omit details, the question of "fairness" arises. Lamport asserts that TLA allows programs to be specified in a normal form: Initial_conditions /\ next_step /\ Fairness. [Aside:I wonder whether we can capture all forms of fairness with priority? ] As I understand it, the essence of TLA is to focus on that normal form, and express all properties in that way. Then he can provide a very small logic largely as a set of inference rules that can potentially be automated. >From that perspective, CSP is more like a PPL: a pseudo programming language. It goes beyond the "pure mathematical world" by which Lamport seems to mean just pure set theory. He points up the problem of translating from the TLA world into that of "real" programming languages, focusing not only on the lack of semantics, but also on the "atomicity" of concurrent operations. Critical sections and such. We, of course, have a complete answer to all that. occam usage rules mean that we have no such worries. What I do worry about is proving that compilers correctly implement the occam/CSP primitives... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now to composition: ================== As far as I can see Lamport has no mention of the algebraic semantics that are usually used to reason about CSP and occam. And no mention of the refinement relation. Rather he seems to be attacking methods like the Owicki-Gries method which I have never seen used to discuss an occam program. In so far as we might be modelling state changes in occam rather than communication, TLA might be useful. Lamport: "In pseudo-programming language terminology, a compositional proof of refinement (implementation) is one performed by breaking a specification into the parallel composition of processes and separately proving the refinement of each process." Not usually in CSP. Rather we would prove (perhaps using FDR) that P1 \refines P2. And in general there may not even be a decomposition into a nontrivial set of parallel processes. We use the mathematical models (denotational and/or operational semantics) to establish the algebraic laws with which to establish our results. That is true even of FDR which is internally running essentially an operational semantic model to establish the results (if my understanding of FDR is correct). So my feeling is that his argument is little if any relevance to the CSP family, despite his explicit mention. I have not worked through the later part of the second article, and it may be that at a deeper level a CSP proof might be making use of the sort of decomposition that he denigrates. Later on he says:- "For centuries, bridge builders, rocket scientists, nuclear physicists, and number theorists have used their own abstractions. They have all expressed those abstractions directly in mathematics, and have reasoned "at the semantic level". Only computer scientists have felt the need to invent new languages for reasoning about the objects they study." I don't know what a historian of mathematics would say about that, but from my limited knowledge of mathematical physics, I would have thought that a very dubious statement. "Rocket scientist" - is there any such animal outside tabloid land? It is a pity if this reads like a counter-attack. We are basically on the same side and would all advocate appropriate mathematical methods. But he does appear to explicitly attack CSP, but as far as I can tell sets up an Aunt Sally with no connection with modern CSP. I think that I have satisfied myself that there is no substance in the implied criticism, and don't have time to delve deeper just now. Maybe someone else with more expertize can comment? I hope this is of some use to the rest of you. I at least have gained a better understanding of temporal logic and TLA.

The Regal Team Home Inspection Series 1- Air Conditioning
The Regal Team Home Inspection Series 1- Air Conditioning
A home inspection is a limited, non-invasive examination of the condition of a home, often in connection with the sale of that home. Home inspections are usually conducted by a home inspector who has the training and certifications to perform such inspections.
The Regal Team of RE/MAX Professionals is excited to present a five-part series on residential home inspection. Hear from a licensed home inspector on the various things they are looking for when it comes to inspecting your home. In part one of our five-part series we discuss the importance of what home inspectors look for regarding your air conditioning.
During the inspection of the air conditioning system, the home inspector should identify the type of system and document all of the relevant information from the data plate, including the age, and should make a determination as to whether or not to operate the system. The inspection should include examining the outdoor cabinet, refrigerant lines, the indoor unit, and duct work. These procedures should be followed when inspecting the cooling system. Additionally, you have to make sure Arizona standards of practice or an association's standard of practice are being followed.
We hope this interview between Kris Houser with Insight Real Estate Inspection Service and Robert Dierks with The Regal Team will enlighten you a little more on some of the "big ticket" items for a home. If you'd like more information about home inspections, or if you're ready to sell your Phoenix home or buy a home in Phoenix, please contact The Regal Team today!

Die for You (Hardcover)
Special Order
Not everything is as perfect as it seems in this dark romance by A Matter of Heart author, Amy Dominy.
Theirs was the perfect love story.
After Emma Lorde's parents' divorce forces her to move halfway across the state of Arizona to live with her father, Emma must face her senior year in a new school knowing absolutely no one.
Then she meets Dillon Hobbs and something just clicks.
Dillon introduces Emma to friends she can call her own. He provides a refuge from the chaos of her past and the security of a commitment that he promises will last forever. And because circumstances of her messy life forced Emma to put aside her dream of pursuing archaeology, Dillon creates a blueprint for a future together.
He saves her, over and over, by loving her more than she thought anyone ever would.
But just when everything seems picture-perfect, Emma is offered an opportunity that will upend the future they've planned. Uncertainty grows, and fear spirals into something darker.
Now Dillon is the one who needs saving.
But how much do you sacrifice for the one you love? What if saving Dillon means losing herself?
"In this delicate, tense exploration of teenage relationship abuse, both the slow progression of Dillon's illness and Emma's refusal to see the signs until it is nearly too late ring true. The violence is handled sensitively, and readers are left hopeful for Emma's recovery. A perceptive portrait of relationship abuse."--Kirkus Reviews
"This taut thriller unrolls hidden messages of abusive relationships with a sharp edge and well-drawn gray areas, leaving readers on the edge of their seats."--Booklist
"With a fresh voice, Dominy adeptly depicts how love can grow dark and that abuse isn't always physical."--SLJ

stand up and be counted
Boring, dull and irrelevant. Just some of the criticisims being levelled at media management not just in the "outside world" but even in professional or academic circles. But surely in an age when we are all so-called citizen journalists - or at least with the power to fittingly "empower" ourselves - we are all, indeed, media managers. Has anyone really sat down to reevaluate what it means to be a media manager? Self-publicist, perhaps. Or is this about managing media?

(W) Rick Remender (A) Stuart Immonen
Captain America soaring through low earth orbit, clutching the battered and bloodied body of a Nazi Vampire, giant explosion going off behind them through endless space with the planet below. This short series has been a fantastic roller coaster ride from start to finish with plenty of wow moments just like this one perfectly accentuated by THE MAN Immonen who I am convinced can draw just about everything. Remender has used a ton of comic clichés throughout the 6 issues but nothing feels thrown in 'just because', everything has been included for a purpose and only adds to the strength of the story. A resolution of sorts to the ongoing plot, but with a sharp twist at the end that's strong enough to convince me to pick up the Hydra title during Secret Wars which is apparently going to continue some elements of this book. Straight up awesome super hero storytelling.

The official policy of the Obama regime appears to now restrict all travel visas to the United States for Christians, while rapidly accelerating the entrance of Muslims and potential jihadi terrorists into the USA. A Catholic nun from Iraq, Diana Momenka, attempted to travel to America to talk about the persecuted Christian minorities in her home country. The Obama regime denied her a travel visa.
Pray For us has previously brought attention to the fact that Obama is detaining Christian refugees from the Middle East and deporting them back to their home countries where they will be executed by ISIS. Now it appears that, as presidential candidate Donald Trump has stated, it is nearly impossible for persecuted Christians from the Middle East to come to America as refugees seeking asylum.
"Sister Diana represents tens of thousands of Iraqi Christians, forced to convert or die or flee their homes. She'll tell us the truth about what's happening," says U.S. Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) "Like thousands of other Christians in the region, Sister Diana is a victim of ISIS. It appears the State Department has chosen to continue to largely ignore the persecution of Christians at the hands of ISIS."
Sister Diana was the only Iraqi Christian in her group whose visa was denied. The other members of her group were Shia Muslims and Yazidis and their visas were all approved according the Catholic News Agency!
This is especially maddening when you consider Obama's plans to admit 15,000 Syrian Muslims into America in FY 2016 and plans have been announced to bring in up to 40,000 Syrians just as Obama is leaving office in FY 2017. The Anglican church has reported that the Obama State Department says it will not accept Christian refugees — even if private Christian donors pay all associated costs for their relocation and support. The State Dept. told the Anglican church there is "no way they will be accepted because of their religious affiliation."
For the jihadi ISIS members posing as refugees, however, Obama's policy appears to be "Come on in!"
This anti-Christian policy has even impacted one of our staff members in Pray For US. His brother-in-law, a Christian from Nigeria, was denied a 3-day travel visa to come to the U.S. in 2014 in order to attend his own wedding. Do you believe for one second that the Obama administration extend the same level of contempt to a Muslim from Nigeria?

Felix Mendelssohn (1809-47): Overture: The Hebrides Op 26 ('Fingal's Cave')
Robert Schumann (1810-56): Piano Concerto in A minor Op 54 (1841-45) Pianist: Maria Joao Pires
Felix Mendelssohn: Symphony No 3 in A minor Op 56 ('Scottish') (1842)
Conductor: Sir John Eliot Gardiner
The doors were closing at 7:30pm and if I hadn't jogged in my heels from the tube station I would have missed the first symphony.
And the heels were painful! Normally, these are my go-to pair, the one's I can walk around in all day (and the only pair I have). But last night they h-u-r-t. As my walking has increased by 500 percent since moving to London, and all I wear are flats, my feet, unaccustomed to the rise and run they were now forced into - were crying foul every time I took a step.
Though hard to choose, I will say that my favorite piece of the evening's performance was the Piano Concerto in A minor, particularly the third movement: Allegro Vivace. There's a certain passage in that movement that took me every time it surfaced...and I hoped it would rise up again and again and again. I was very content when it did.
But what really made it into something marvelous was the pianist - Maria Joao Pires (Portuguese). She was engaging and her gestures captivating. She looked as if she were on the brink of death by thirst but with each stoke of a key she was revived by water again and again - as if playing the piano was coming to an oasis in the desert where one practically falls into the water as cupped hands bring the life-giving liquid to your mouth and face. And then it started to rain from above and her face lifted towards the sky; her whole being smiled through her countenance as she swayed back and forth. And the music just kept rising.
It was awesome.
During the first Symphony I kept designing D3 (the third project of the school year) in my mind. I developed a concept of sorts, which I further worked out during the third Symphony. Next week I will sketch these ideas out and see if they are any good. I am still not sure yet. Something about opacity and light and columns...and plants...where to put the plants...
It was a fabulous evening. I was graciously invited by a good friend and am so thankful I was! One musn't go too long in life without attending the Symphony.
Also - the members of the orchestra stood (except the cellists, who were raised on platforms) during the entire third Symphony...not sure why, but it was interesting in a cool way.

Percy Watkins Inquest
Percy Watkins inquest was held June 16th, 2014 at 10AM Blackpool UK. People claim that Percy Watkins committed suicide by drowning. Percy was a worker under the UK overseer Ben Crompton.
The hearing about the supposed suicide was a public event. Percy Watkins is alleged to have committed suicide amid legal allegations. However there were no legal allegations to be found!
Percy Watkins worked for and was the right-hand man of Ben Crompton. From what I understand, Peter Liddle was the last person to have seen Percy before Percy was found dead..
If you have information regarding the suicide or events leading to the suicide, you may contact:
Blackpool & Fylde Coroner�s Office
Percy Watkins, 58, a member of the Church with No Name, died in a bath at a house in Freckleton.
The nature of the allegations was not divulged in the inquest and police say they were never reported to them.
The inquest, held in Blackpool, was told Mr Percy Watkins came from Waterstone, near Hereford, but he preached in the North West. His religious group, also known as the Two by Twos, do not have church buildings and meet in members' homes.
Lancashire Police launched an investigation after his body was found at a detached bungalow on Kirkham Road, Freckleton, in February this year.
Det Sgt Pritchard said: Allegations had been made against Percy Watkins but no police force had been involved by his accuser.
A note was found written by Percy Watkins which said he was sorry for all the trouble he had caused. He wrote "I hope this will give my accuser some peace for the sake of the kingdom."
There was no sign of any violence or disturbance in the house. We have checked nationwide to see if Percy Watkins had been named as a suspect but we could find no record of it. We did take his mobile phone and there messages which said he was going through a dark time.
Deputy coroner Chris Beverley recorded drowning as the cause of death. He said: �Percy Watkins took his own life in a deliberate act.�
From :http://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/community/community-news/missionary-drowned-after-allegations-made-1-7313675
What kingdom is Percy talking about? Certainly not the kingdom of heaven! Was Percy trying to imitate Judas who denied Jesus and then hung himself?
Website Comment from Sheena Allen
Someone put in a comment on this website, using the name of Sheena Allen (no verification provided as to whether this is the person's real name). Here is her comment
The accusations against Percy were never filed to the police,as verified by the coroner. Someone,somewhere drove this poor man to despair, so much so that he took his own life. The accuser should have taken their complaint to the police in a forthright manner. Surely? Considering the laws in the United Kingdom, governing incitement to racial, faith or religious hatred, it would be wise to look closely at the content of websites such as this one and others. Surely, a true Christian would not be motivated to write in such a hate filled manner ? Kind Regards, Sheena Allen
My Comments on "Sheena Allen's"Comments
I agree with Sheena on some points, but I believe Sheena has things horribly twisted in her mind in order to justify her involvement with the cult and also Percy who committed suicide, taking the very life he was given by God.
It should be taken into account the hypocrisy of such advice. The 2x2s claim that people everywhere who don't go to their meetings are going to hell. And they drive many people to despair through slander, libel and hateful actions - which is anything but forthright. They refuse to publish their beliefs on websites because I believe everyone would be repulsed by them.
Blaming Unknown Individual
Sheena claims that someone, somewhere drove this man to despair. But I doubt this. There are many cases of workers driving people to despair. Does Sheena care about those cases? Here are my public questions about this:
Driven to Despair
Also, there is the assumption that Percy Watkins could be driven to despair. Does she know why? I think all the FRIENDS know why WORKERS can be driven to despair. They know the unGodly pressures that the FRIENDS and OVERSEERS and other WORKERS put on the WORKERS. See Rules placed on workers
Driven to Despair by OVERSEER's Rules
The overseers claim oversight of dozens of workers. Ben Crompton was the overseer of Percy Watkins. So is Ben Crompton claiming responsibility for the lies and rules imposed on Percy Watkins? Is Ben Crompton taking responsibility for perverting the Word of God and teaching these lies to Percy? Is Ben Crompton taking responsibility for all the burdens and rules placed on Percy Watkins? If you want to see someone driven to despair by all the rules of an overseer and their threats, you can read the evidence of a woman who accused a former overseer of raping her. See Sister Worker Message. The crimes and threats of some overseer are well known.
Reports About Ben Crompton
I have been told that Percy Watkins was asked by Ben Crompton to step down from his place as a worker amid these supposed legal allegations. I think the friends know why this would cause an old man who belongs to a radical, secretive cult to despair. Here is a short list:

Percy Funeral Notes
Percy Inquest
|To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. - Jesus Christ speaking to Saul, see Act 26:18, see Salvation through Jesus Christ.

Endocrine System Home > Glucophage XR
Glucophage XR is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The drug works by decreasing the amount of sugar made by the liver and by decreasing insulin resistance. Potential side effects include diarrhea and nausea. The dose your healthcare provider prescribes will depend on factors such as how well your diabetes is controlled and other medications you are taking.
What Is Glucophage XR?Glucophage XR® (metformin ER, Glumetza®, Fortamet®) is a prescription medication licensed to treat type 2 diabetes (also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes). The drug is a long-acting, extended-release version of Glucophage.
(Click What Is Glucophage Used For? for more information, including possible off-label uses.)
Who Makes It?Generic Glucophage XR is made by several manufacturers. Glucophage and Glucophage XR are manufactured by Bristol-Myers Squibb. Glumetza is made by Depomed Inc., and Fortamet is made by Andrx Labs.
How Does Glucophage XR Work?Glucophage XR works in several ways. For example, the drug decreases the amount of sugar (glucose) made by the liver. It can also decrease the amount of sugar absorbed into the body from the diet and can decrease insulin resistance, helping the body to use insulin better.
Because Glucophage XR does not increase the amount of insulin produced by the body, it is less likely to cause dangerously low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), as many other diabetes medications can do (see Alternatives to Metformin).

Sissy is a nine year old cat who was in desperate need of ACL surgery. Her owner came to us crying, saying that she could not afford the surgery, and she also had to have surgery. We made an appeal on Facebook and raised $420 of the $515 needed for Sissy's surgery. Following the operation, Sissy stayed with a HSDC for three weeks, restricted to a large dog crate so that she would not re-injure her leg. She went back home with her "mom" and is doing well.
At Thomasville Veterinary Hospital, a female cat was in labor who had a prolapsed uterus. Unfortunately, the kittens could not be saved, but the Humane Society paid $75 to have the mother cat spayed, which ultimately saved the animal's life.
A call came into the Humane Society of Davidson County from North Davidson Veterinary Hospital that a Labrador Retriever mix had been brought into the office that had a tumor. If the tumor was not removed, it would rupture. The Humane Society approved $75 toward helping to remove the dog's tumor.
A local couple adopted a puppy from a private citizen and when they picked up the puppy to take it home, it was very ill. The puppy was taken to Davidson Animal Hospital where it was discovered that its bowels were heavily impacted with grass, roots, and bones. The puppy required a lot of care and would not have survived had the Humane Society not approved funds for its care.
When the Humane Society of Davidson County first organized, we realized that many people desperately needed emergency veterinary care for their pets but could not afford it. As a result, we began a small sick/injured program as an answer to extreme situations in which the animal's owner, due to financial hardship, could not afford to provide care for the animal in question. When funds are available, each case submitted will be reviewed on an individual basis and funds are provided if available. If you need assistance with a sick/injured pet, please call the Humane Society of Davidson County at (336) 248-2706.
The HSDC appreciates all of Davidson County's fine veterinary clinics and hospitals that work so cooperatively with us on a daily basis.
