text: EMMA: Empowerment Motivation and Medial Adherence Testing a new concept to motivate and empower patients to take control of their medication. SideindholdGaining glycaemic control Several patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) experience poor glycaemic control with HbA1c higher than 8%. Studies have shown that low medical adherence contributes to suboptimal glycaemic control and poor clinical outcomes, and that improvement in glycaemic control can be achieved by improving adherence to medication.1,2,3 The Steno Diabetes Center (SDC) initiated the Empowerment, Motivation and Medical Adherence – or EMMA – pilot study in 2011 in order to investigate the feasibility of applying health education principles and methods in clinical consultations. The project targeted patients with T2D who demonstrate poor glycaemic control as well as poor medical adherence. So far, the study has developed and pilot-tested a consultation intervention for such patients, with individualised, goal-oriented support based on methods of health education and empowerment. Overall, EMMA aimed to investigate new ways of providing support to patients with T2D in poor glycaemic control, to improve medical self-management capabilities and to strengthen implementation of medical regimens. The EMMA Concept The concept consists of visual and tangible tools such as pictures, peer quotes, questions, illustrations and worksheets. The tools form basis for different exercises designed to explore challenges of the individual patients with regard to T2D and their medication regimen, perform medical review and facilitate interactive learning-, goal-setting- and action planning processes. The tools and exercises are hypothesised to enhance reflection, dialogue and participation and to promote informed patient decisions on handling their illness.A cross-theoretical approach underlies the EMMA concept in which different theories, models and health education principles are incorporated and supplement each other. The overall flow of the consultation builds upon a 'five-step empowerment model of goal-setting'4. The idea of using tools during consultations was inspired by health education principles5,6 and cultural probes methodology7.The design of the individual tools and exercises applies elements from different models and theories such as the Health Belief Model8, WHO's Five Dimensions of Adherence9, Trans Theoretical Model of Change10, Motivational Interviewing11 and Self-efficacy theory12.The exact exercises and dialogue tools, their developmental background and the implementation process has been described previously.13Measuring satisfaction and clinical end-points The pilot study was a quasi-randomized, prospective open study design. Twenty-two patients with poor glycaemic control and medical adherence below 80%were enrolled in the project and each patient had three, individual consultations and a telephone consultation conducted by a medical doctor or a diabetes nurse.All consultations were observed and audio recorded. Time records of physician/nurse talk and patient talk (measured every 10 seconds) were done to measure patient participation. Two months after the last consultation, the patients were interviewed. Satisfaction with the consultations was assessed by parameters such as whether patients felt understood, did they feel a trusting relationship, did they find the focus of the consultations important, and did they participate actively in making decisions and setting goals?The clinical end-points of the study were changes in HbA1c immediately following the intervention (baseline) and then six months later, and also changes medical possession rate (bought medicine / prescribed medicine). Target group The study targeted consultations with patients with type 2-diabetes, poor glycaemic control (higher than 8%) and medical adherence below 80% for at least one prescription drug. Positive outcome Nineteen patients finished the program. Most of them assessed the consultations very positively. During the consultations to a large or very large extent they felt understood and listened to, felt a trusting relationship to the physician/nurse and experienced relevant focus and active participation.Also, most of the patients to a large or very large extent learned something new and valuable that they could use in their everyday life and felt better equipped to handle diabetes in the future. More than half of the patients said that they followed the plan and the goals that were agreed upon during the sessions.Health care providers reported that the tools helped them to structure the consultations, to reflect on their practice, to identify patients' problems and to facilitate difficult conversations.The pilot-study showed beneficial effects on HbA1c (link til EASD Abstract)We plan to further test the EMMA concept in larger scale studies in autumn and winter 2013.Funding and collaborators The study was a collaboration between Complications Research and Patient Education Research at Steno Diabetes Center. Furthermore, EMMA was:part of a PhD study (Gudbjørg Andresdottir): The study of the clinical effects of the EMMA-program.part of a Master of Drug Management thesis (Annemarie Varming) - the development and pilot testing of the intervention.a study from Patient Education Research (Annemarie Varming, Gitte Engelund) – the development, prototyping and production of the health education tools, including guiding material.Publications1.

|Sunday, 2nd May 1999
|I went to the hospital this morning, and yes I did need to have another platelet transfusion. Because I am eating so well though, I won't need the overnight nasal gastric tube feed tonight. I will have to go back to clinic on Tuesday for another check up.
|Saturday, 1st May 1999
|My appetite is back to normal, I am eating really well. Diddy and Bill came down from Queensland and spent the afternoon with us. Tomorrow I am going to hospital for another blood test and most likely some more platelets. Luckily, with all these regular visits, the hospital is only 10 minutes away.
|Thursday, 29th April 1999
|I spent the morning at clinic, I had to have a platelet transfusion as expected. I don't need to go back until Sunday. It has been cold and wet outside so I have had to stay indoors the last few days.
|Wednesday, 28th April 1999
|Today was my first day that I didn't have to go to the hospital at all in quite some time. I need to go to clinic tomorrow though to have a blood test. I started eating a variety of foods so that hopefuly I can get my food drip turned off in a few days.
|Tuesday, 27th April 1999
|I had my first check up back in clinic again this morning. My white cells and neutrophils are rising slowly, but I will probably need another platelet transfusion when I go back to clinic on Thursday. I am certainly much happier now that I am home again, as is the rest of the family.
|Monday, 26th April 1999
|HOORAY!!!! I was discharged today. Before I could go home I needed both platelet and haemoglobin transfusions. I still need the nasal gastric feed at night though, Mummy and Daddy will hook me up each night before I go to sleep. I will start going to clinic again now, my first check up is tomorrow. The best thing is we are all home together again.

Market intelligence
What you need to know and why
Deloitte Luxembourg can respond to your needs in terms of market intelligence, but also to accompany you in the practical application of that knowledge.
Context and issues
There is no magic formula that determines why a fund – UCITS or other UCI – will meet with success when offered to investors. Many factors come into play. As in any endeavour, it is only by establishing what is known that one may begin to understand what remains to be learnt.
Key issues
The notion of 'market Intelligence' can encompass many different things. It can be as simple as the articulation of what is effectively a work instruction – "how do I register a fund in this jurisdiction?"
It can be a complex and often costly exercise in market research to determine what competitors are doing – "who is selling what to whom and at what price?"
It can be a formative element to long-term strategy, determining which platform to distribute in which region and to which client segment.
Our services
Our clients value highly our offerings which include:
- Regular updates and checklists on registration and distribution requirements by jurisdiction

It's not typical for me to talk about my family or personal issues on hippylip and I always stay on the topic of beauty products or fashion. My husband and daughter both suffer from severe Psoriasis. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder causing an overgrowth of skin cells. Normal skin cell reproduction is 28-30 days but for people with psoriasis it's every 3-4 days causing inflammation, skin redness, and dry scale like patches. In addition to being itchy and painful, it can cause low self-esteem. For years we have tried prescription and over the counter medications and nothing really helps. My daughter has even tried medication that gets injected into the skin.
derma e is a company that takes pride in being one of the first to use vitamins and plant-based ingredients in their skin care products. They were heathy before healthy was "in". derma e is a brand I have been using for a long time back when they could only be found at Whole foods but now their products are much more accessible through their website, health food stores, Target, and some drugstores.
When derma e launched a new line of products geared specifically for eczema and psoriasis, you could imagine how excited I was. At this point, my family was tired of the traditional medical treatments and we were researching alternatives with natural ingredients and dietary changes (you are what you eat theory). Here is derma e's pin with dietary information:
Psorzema Creme is made with a safe and effective blend of herbal extracts and skin vitamins such as Neem, Burdock, Bearberry, Vitamins A and E. These ingredients work together to soften and soothe dry, irritated, and scaling skin.
Psorzema Creme comes in a 4 oz. container which will last a very long time. It's white and creamy and has absolutely no detectable scent. It's super creamy and spreads on nice and smooth. for being as heavy as it feels we were expecting it to stay greasy or take some time to sink in. We were completely wrong, this creme leaves no residue and sinks in amazingly fast. My husband and daughter both say that it gives them instant relief from the itchy, burning feeling they have on their inflamed areas. The morning after my husband applied this creme, for the first time, the scales where gone and the redness decreased to a light pink. He has since been using it daily and it keeps the scales and redness at bay. This is the first natural treatment we have tried and it seems to work better than any prescription medication we've tried. My daughter has since gone out and bought her own Psorzema Creme. I would fully recommend anyone with dry skin, eczema, or psoriasis to give this a try. I can't stress enough how important it is to moisturize when you have psoriasis or eczema and Psorsema is an excellent choice to get the inflammation down and maintain your condition.
derma e was kind enough to send us their whole Psorzema line and we are currently in the process of testing their shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I will update this post when we've had enough time to fully test all products.
FREEBIE ALERT: You can sign up here to receive 3 foil packets of Psorzema Creme.
If you or someone you love is suffering from eczema or psoriasis and you are interested in giving Psorzema a try you can find it for $17.99 right here.
Are any of you suffering from skin issues? Have you tried Psorzema? GIVE ME SOME LIP 😉
Disclosure: I was given this product for free in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and 100% honest.

It was a very colourful display in our school hall this week when children in Years 1 to 6 performed our very special Christmas show, 'Christmas Around the World.' Inspired by our experiences in our recent 'Diversity Week', we sped off to places as far afield as Brazil, Russia and even Australia as we discovered what Christmas is like in different countries around the world. We learned that Santa Claus both looks and acts very differently in every country: Pere Noel in France, for example, likes to fill shoes with presents while Papai Noel in Brazil swaps presents for socks!
Aside from our Early Years classes (who have their own Christmas show), this production was a whole school effort and everyone worked so fantastically well together with their singing, dancing and acting. What a memorable show it was!
If you are one of the many adults who came to see the show and support the children this week, thank you! We hope you enjoyed it!

In July, Cory Neddermeyer, 42, was turned down for unemployment benefits in Iowa, after a judge ruled that he was fired for cause. His employer, the Amaizing Energy ethanol plant, suffered a massive spill that created a pond of fuel alcohol, and Neddermeyer (a recovering alcoholic), after resisting as long as he could, gave in and started drinking from the pool (causing him to pass out and later register an 0.72 blood-alcohol reading). [Des Moines Register, 7-9-06]
Let's look at obsessions. Are they good or bad?
Could be both, right? If activities related to things with which you are infatuated are destructive, that's bad.
If your fascination with something helps you to absorb every bit of data and this leads to expertise on a subject related to work or a hobby, that's good.
So control is the real issue here.
And good judgement.
What do you have a "sweet tooth" for?
Is it helping or hurting your goal to become a true expert in your profession?
Your obsessions – will you embrace them or let them go?

Follow-up: Other People's Money
Buried in the article in a single sentence was the following:
"The pilots will also be distributed over MSN and Zune."
So, Microsoft is halfway home by starting to produce content that people might find interesting.
Now they should leverage the infrastructure they are putting in place to produce content and partner with Microsoft Advertising to make and distribute content that site owners will find useful.
As we discussed in the original article, producing and syndicating useful content in key verticals then might encourage small site owners in those verticals to switch from Google Adwords, and lead to a larger query share for Live Search down the road...

Here's a brief roundup and summary on what's happened at the intersection of technology and public policy through the first ten days of November. Highlights include stories on daily fantasy sports, Airbnb in SF, the cost of Uber employment classification, government-funded innovation efforts, and drones. If there's an article I've missed, please let me know on Twitter @nkhare:
Sharing Economy & New Business Models
Everyone saw this coming since New York AG Eric Schneiderman launched an investigation. Everyone, but apparently DraftKings, who sent a last minute email to its players asking them to "Contact the Attorney General Today!" Not only was the call to action weeks too late, but the AG isn't a legislator – this is not about changing his mind on an upcoming vote – he choose to launch a highly-publicized resource-intensive investigation. Earlier, I wrote about how DraftKings & FanDuel got themselves into this mess, and what they could do to get out of it.
Farhad and Mike's Week in Tech: Airbnb Takes San Francisco [New York Times]
A great recap of what happened with Prop F in San Francisco, and their thoughts on why technology firms take the regulatory approach to "operate first, ask for permission late." My take on the approach, articulating that the cause is more than just regulators moving slowly, and how investors and firms can make this process smoother in the future.
Stephen Gandel estimates that it would cost Uber $4.1B if their drivers were classified as employees rather than contractors. Unfortunately, there's one big hole pointed out in a tweet by Professor Richard Thaler: benefits are part of total compensation; Uber would pay drivers less to offset some of the cost. The classification issue for Uber is not simply about cost, but around work rules that create more friction around recruitment, administration, and worker flexibility.
Fresh off a vicious battle over ride-sharing regulations, New York City sees a group of business leaders launched the Partnership Innovation Council to help "address some of the regulatory barriers" facing tech firms. Most importantly, it looks to be proactive by examining current regulations that may impede innovation that benefits residents. One concern is its funded by big tech vs. investors in startups – the spokesperson talks about pooling resources to help startups, but who ultimately sets its priorities?
Fresh approach urged for tech company regulation [WBJournal]
Boston Mayor Martin Walsh makes a comment that tech startups with new business models should be regulated "in a different manner" – demonstrating once again, that Boston is a municipal leader in innovation.
Startup Growth Policies
Different nations are taking different tacks to promote innovation. But the key shouldn't just be about creating new startups – the article cites several example of governments failing to produce meaningful results by simply throwing money at startups. Instead, the focus should be on creating a self-sustaining ecosystem, and it takes more than just seed money and a few entrepreneurs (e.g. talent, customers, distributors, expansion funding, infrastructure, quality of life, regulation, etc.).
What are American Cities Doing to Help Startups Grow? [Kauffman Foundation]
San Francisco, New York City, and Boston are highlighted as three examples of how municipalities can help startups. There are really two examples though – SF with new regulation for new business models (and it's not exactly a shining beacon) & NYC with advocacy for startups. Boston is leveraging technology to help government (vs. government to help technology). A missing example is the ability for local governments to convene – to use government as a platform to bring startups to the same table as corporations, policymakers, investors, etc.
From special economic zones to direct funding, China is enacting some of the most interesting if not dramatic policies to promote startups and innovation. Here's a peek into a project that moved fast because of government: a $36M startup village, planned and built in just two years.
Emerging Technologies
Canada is a positioned to capitalize on in drone innovation, having issued early and fair regulations on commercial drone use (with Amazon testing drones there). They're taking the next step, working with invested stakeholders, to smartly regulate drones by risk.
23andMe, all over again? FDA is about to face off with DNA4Life over their $249 direct-to-consumer DNA test. 23andMe, the Mountain View-based genetics company, just underwent a lengthy, two-year process to work with the FDA to re-launch a pared-down version of their home genetics test kit. The difference here is that DNA4Life believes their specific test isn't subject to FDA oversight. While many experts disagree, all will agree that these companies will face an expensive and long process. Other genetic testing companies, such as Invitae, have chosen to avoid this route by not going direct-to-consumer, instead working through physicians.

By Steven M. Greer, MD
In April of 2004, about 25 people gathered at our country home in Albemarle County, Virginia, not far from Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. The purpose was for me to provide an oral history, over the course of a week, of the events of my life.
This book is the result of that gathering.
To be honest, this book is released with more than a little trepidation. It reveals personal experiences and events that frankly seem incredible. Even reading through the transcript of the tapes was at times a tearful and emotionally difficult experience. And I know that much of it can be used to attack me personally.
But it is time for you to know: Why did an emergency physician who had been chairman of a busy ER leave his career to get out to the world the information that we are not alone? What had I personally experienced – from childhood onwards – that gave me the knowledge of cosmic cultures, cosmic consciousness and a glimpse of the wondrous future that awaits humanity? What are the new energy and propulsion technologies that can give us a new world, free of pollution, poverty and conflict? What is the nexus where Mind, Space, Time and Matter all come together - and how might this be used technologically by an advanced civilization? What does the blue-print of the next 500,000 years of human civilization on Earth look like – and how can we transition to that time? What did I find - and experience – as I met with heads of state, CIA officials, billionaires and covert operatives who in turns are desperate to maintain the secrecy and yet pray for relief from the black box they have nailed shut around them? Who has been keeping this Hidden Truth and Forbidden Knowledge secret – and most importantly, why?
This book addresses all this – and more. It is my own Disclosure. Having founded and led The Disclosure Project, I feel it is time that the millions of people who follow our work know the truth about how I got here – and what I have found.
I do not expect the general reader to accept all of this -or perhaps any of it. I expect nothing in fact. It is the truth as I have found it and this is my heartfelt effort to share that truth. I hope you find some meaning in this sharing from my heart and mind.
A meeting I had with a senior General at the Pentagon a few years ago illustrates the gravity of the situation. I had been asked by this General, who at the time was head of a major intelligence operation in the Pentagon, to brief him and some of his staff on the UFO issue. As our military advisor and I waited in the General's reception room, we noticed a female officer looking up from her papers at us, curiously. Finally she asked if I was Dr. Greer, and I said yes. She then proceeded to explain that they were very excited about the briefing and that she and her colleagues had drawn straws to see who could be in attendance! Apparently, only one officer from her office could be present.
We were escorted into the General's conference room and some time into the briefing this General said, "Well, I have no doubt that what you are sharing is true, but I have made inquiries through channels in my Agency and nobody can tell me anything! In fact, all I have gotten is this!" He then goes over to a book shelf and takes a small ET doll down – and holds it up for all to see. He says, "This is all I have gotten – ridicule - for inquiring about this through channels..."
I then explained that the CIA Director and other high officials had similar experiences when they made inquiries into the subject.
This senior General then told me a disturbing and exquisitely personal story: When he was young, his father had discovered a corrupt enterprise and conspiracy in the government that was deeply disturbing – but nobody would listen to him. It was a matter of enormous importance – but even the General admitted he just thought his father was a kook. Eventually, his father committed suicide (or was murdered and made to look like a suicide) over the matter. Then the General said, "It wasn't until I got into this position at the Pentagon that I realized the old man was right!"
Until the General was confronted with the truth as a high official in the Pentagon, he never believed his own father. So how can I expect you to believe me? All I can do is share with you the truth as I know it and the rest is up to you.
A few comments on the book: It is not a written book, but merely an edited transcript of over 45 hours of audio tape that were created in April of 2004 during my oral presentations at our farm. I ask that the reader forgive any errors or editing oversights. This book should be viewed as an oral history, transcribed and edited into a narrative. I had no notes or text as I made these oral presentations.
Between 1991 and 1995, I kept a diary (via transcribed audio tape) that was over 2000 pages just up to that time. Clearly this book, which encompasses experiences that span half a century, can only reflect the major highlights and lessons gleaned over that time. It is by no means meant to be all-inclusive or recall all the information conveyed to me by thousands of conversations and meetings with covert contacts within the Shadow Government.
Many of the names of these covert operatives are changed or abbreviated. However, the original tape and transcript, which are in multiple secure locations, contains all of the names, corporations and entities involved with these illegal clandestine operations and will be released, if needed, at a later time.
Also, this book is not a recapitulation or even summary of the extensive documentation which exists in my two prior books. The reader should refer to the extensive case-files and ET contact experiences of the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence (CSETI) contained in the book "Extraterrestrial Contact - The Evidence and Implications". Moreover, a nearly 600 page book of government documents and transcripts of over 60 top- secret witness testimonies to official government projects and events is available in "Disclosure". These books may be obtained Here.
It is time for one chapter in human history to close and another to open. Do we have the courage to embrace this new world, the hallmarks of which are universal peace, enlightenment, and a genuinely high technology civilization on Earth that is sustainable for thousands of years? The retrograde forces that are attempting to hijack humanity to a time of war in space, global destruction, environmental ruin and cultural insanity most be supplanted, through the courageous acts of others, with an entirely new way of being.
It is time for you to know – and for all of us to act. For it is only through the collective actions of those who yearn for the good future that awaits humanity that we can leap across the abyss of impending destruction and secure a world ready to take her place among the cultures of the cosmos, enlightened and at peace.

EBooks - Fiction,
Nonfiction 1000s of them ~ Index
We had arrived at Marvis Bay, and were to play the last match of our
tour on the following morning. Marvis Bay is in Devonshire. We always
take it last on our fixture-list, so as to end happily, as it were.
Sidmouth may rout us, and Seaton may make us hunt leather till the
soles of our boots wear through; but it is the boast of the Weary
Willies that against Marvis Bay they never fail to get their own back.
As a matter of fact, we hardly treat the thing as a match. We look on
it as a picnic. We have a splendid time—the place is a paradise and
the local curate a sportsman to his fingertips—and the actual game is
a treat after the stern struggles of the earlier part of the tour. It
is in the Marvis Bay match that I take my annual wicket, usually
through a catch in the deep; while Geake, our leg-break artist,
generally seizes the opportunity of playing his great double-figure
innings, and pulling his average for the season out of the realms of
the minuses. Except for the curate, Dacre, who played for Cambridge in
the nineties and is a sound and pretty bat of the Jimmy Douglas type,
the local team is composed of unskilled labourers. They hit hard and
high and in a semicircle. Geake has six men in the country, and
invariably reaps a plenteous harvest of wickets. When we go in it is
an understood thing among us that every possible risk must be taken,
and if a batsman shows symptoms of sitting on the splice and playing
himself in, his partner feels it a duty to run him out at the earliest
possible moment. I remember one year Sharples, our fast bowler, said
he had never made a century, and wanted to see what it felt like, so
he was going to play himself in against Marvis Bay, and take no risks.
His statement was coldly received, and on the score-sheet of the match
you will find these words are written:—
J. B. Sharples, run out ... ... ... 0
The wicked never prosper.
We were gathered together in the parlour of the only inn the village
possesses on the night before the match, very sociable and comfortable
and pleased with ourselves. We had come flushed with victory from
Seaton, and everything pointed to a delightful game on the morrow.
There were no signs of rain. It had been a beautiful evening, and the
glass was going up. It was pretty to see the faith we had in that
glass. On our last visit, a year back, the thing had prophesied much
rain, and we had been unanimous in pointing out that of course no sane
man ever thought of trusting a barometer.
Geake had just finished telling us, at considerable length, how he
once made twenty-three not out in a house match at Malvern (which none
of us believed) when Sharples strolled in.
He wore a cynical smile.
As a rule this smile of his is the forerunner of some bad news. He is
apt to come up just before the Seaton match and tell me that he has
strained his heart, or a lung, or something, and cannot possibly bowl
a ball. But, as the match the next day was only against Marvis Bay, it
seemed impossible that any bad news he might have could really matter.
Even if he could not bowl for some reason it would not be particularly
serious. Our changes were capable of getting Marvis Bay out.
However, I thought it was my duty, in my capacity of captain of the
team, to hear all that was to be heard.
"What's the matter, Sharples?" I asked.
He shook his head pityingly.
"See," he said—"see how the little victims play, regardless of their
One of the little victims, Gregory, our wicket-keeper, flung a bound
volume of the Farmer's Magazine at him.
He caught it high up with one hand.
"I'm in rare form," he said, complacently. "I can see anything. Good
job too. We shall need good fielding."
"Sharples," I said, "you've got something up your sleeve. Out with it,
or get out. You're frightening Sanderson."
Sanderson, our nervous batsman, was already beginning to quake like a
jelly caught in a storm.
"What's up, Sharples?" said several voices.
Our fast bowler condescended to explain.
"As I was coming up the street just now," he said, "I suddenly noticed
a horse shy violently. And next minute I saw the reason. A little
shrimp of a man with a face like a music-hall comedian was coming
towards me. Do any of you know Wix? Apollo Wix?"
"Plays for Somerset," said Sanderson.
"He do," assented Sharples. "And likewise does he play—on occasion
and by special request—for Marvis Bay."
"What?" I shouted.
Sharples's smile became a grin.
"James, my gallant skipper, I speak the truth. Wix, who, I may point
out, is eighth in the first-class averages, has come down here all for
love of us to play against the Weary Willies."
Our jaws fell. We had been looking forward to a gentle, go-as-you-
please village game. With Wix against us we might have to go our
hardest to win.
"Haven't Somerset a match?" asked Geake. "I thought they were playing
"Not till Monday, Gloucestershire. They are free till then. Hence,"
added Sharples, calmly, "we shall also have the pleasure of playing
to-morrow against Jack Coggin and T. C. Smith."
A perfect howl of anguish rose from all corners of the room.
"Jack Coggin!"
"What on earth——"
"T. C. Smith!"
"Wix, Smith, and Coggin! Good Lord!" There followed a lull, during
which I heard Sanderson murmur, sadly, "And the last time I played
against Jack Coggin he outed me in my first over!"
"Sharples," I said.
"Sir to you."
"Tell me you're lying and I'll forgive you."
"You pain me, James. I am a slave to truth. Haven't you ever heard the
story of me when I was a boy? My father found me cutting down a cherry
tree. 'Who is cutting down this tree?' he asked, sternly. 'Father,' I
said, 'I cannot tell a lie. It is probably the cat.' You needn't
believe what I say, of course. Wix is my authority. Oh, and, by the
"There is a party of public-school boys down here, reading with a
coach. Winchester men. Mere lads, of course, mere lads—nothing more.
Still, two of them were in the team this year, and one of the two—
Shellick—knocked up seventy against Eton."
The concentrated gloom seemed to make the room quite dark; or it may
have been the tobacco smoke.
"Let's scratch," suggested somebody, miserably.
"But look here, Sharples," I said, "I can't understand this. Dacre
told me he hadn't got a very strong side."
"No, poor man, he's had disappointments. You see, the Australians have
got a match, so he couldn't get Trumper and Noble."
"I believe there's something at the bottom of all this."
"There is," said Sharples, "if you want to know. I got it from Wix,
who seemed to think it was so good that he couldn't keep it to
"The man Dacre, who has got a sense of humour which strikes one as
almost irreligious in a curate, is putting up a deep jest on the Weary
Willies. He has collected all these celebrities, and—this is the
point; you ought to laugh here—he is going to play them all under
assumed names. You see the rollicking idea? The score of the match
will be printed in all the sporting papers, and it will get about that
an ordinary village team has beaten the club hollow. We shall never
live it down."
"We can explain," said Geake, hopefully.
"Who would believe us?"
"Now, look here," I said, firmly; "this is absurd. We mustn't chuck up
the sponge in this rotten way. There's no earthly sense in going into
the field a beaten side. Just because they've got a county man or
"Three," corrected Sharples.
"That doesn't necessarily mean that they will win. As a matter of
fact, in this sort of game a good club bat is far more likely to make
runs than a county man, who's used to billiard table wickets. They may
have a few cracks, but we're far stronger all through."
"I made twenty-three not out once," said Geake. "It was in a house
match at Malvern."
"And, hang it all," I cried, warming to my work, "you and Geake,
Sharples, are a good enough pair of bowlers to bother any batsman."
"My dear James," said Sharples, enthusiastically, "you make me blush.
Your stately compliments embarrass me."
"It isn't only their batsmen," said Sanderson, despondently. "Look at
their bowlers. Jack Coggin."
"And Smith," said Gregory.
"Who's Smith?" I said, scornfully. "A man who goes on second change—"
"First change," said Gregory. "And for a first-class county."
"Well, look at our batting," I urged. "There's Sanderson, for one—"
"And me," put in Geake. "I once made twenty three not out. It was in a
house match at Malvern."
"You never know what will happen at cricket," I said. "Buck up, and
let's make these Somerset men so sick that they'll stay in their own
county another year or hang themselves with the laces of their cricket
"And in passing," said Sharples, pouring out a measure of whisky and
adding a dash of soda-water, "let's drink confusion to the man Dacre—
the Rev. Dacre, curate and serpent. May his first ball hit him on the
funny-bone, his second wind him, and his third get him l-b-w."
We drank the toast with considerable enthusiasm.
The inhabitants of Marvis Bay turned out in force to see us massacred.
The curate's low plot had probably become public property, for there
was an alert air about the crowd as of those who expect amusement in
the near future.
"You've got some new men in your team, I see," I said to Dacre. I
wondered whether Wix had told him that he had informed Sharples of the
state of affairs.
Apparently he had not, for the serpentine curate made no confession.
Instead, he waved his hand airily, as if to deprecate the attaching of
any importance to the changes in his side.
"One or two," he said. "One or two; local celebrities, you know; very
keen. You may teach them something of the game."
"Stranger things have happened."
I looked round me. To my left Jack Coggin was bowling his celebrated
leg-theory balls to T. C. Smith.
"That's one of your new men, isn't it?" I said. "Looks a useful man."
"A very decent bowler on his day," said the curate.
I believed him. A week before Jack Coggin had taken five good Notts
wickets for eighty-seven.
"And the man batting? He any good?"
"A tolerable fast bowler. When in form quite useful."
T. C. Smith had been in form ten days ago. On that occasion he had
bowled Fry and had Vine caught off him in the slips in one over.
"Ah!" I said. "We ought to have a good game, then."
"Oh, we shall do our best," said he, modestly.
"So," I said, with determination, "shall we."
Of the opening stages of that match I have no very pleasant
recollections. They won the toss, and batted first on a wicket which
had evidently been prepared more carefully than was generally the case
at Marvis Bay. Wix, looking positively hideous, opened the innings
with Shellick, the Wykehamist expert, who had that peculiarly
competent look which characterizes the public-school man who is a
certainty for his "blue" in the first year.
From the moment Wix took guard, and scraped the crease with one of the
bails in his cool, unruffled way, our troubles began. Nothing could
have been nobler than the struggles of Sharples and Geake. Over after
over the former banged them down like a combination of Brearley and
Prichard. Over after over the latter tried every trick in his
repertory. But all in vain. Wix was superb. He took everything that
came to him with the ease which belongs to a man who is morally
certain of a place in the English team for the fifth Test Match. His
driving was titanic, his cutting a dream. When he pulled, he did it
with that certainty of touch which stamps the genius. It was only the
fine bowling of Sharples and Geake which kept the score within
anything like decent limits. After an hour's play eighty was on the
board, and the pair were still together.
Then our luck turned. Geake, who had had a rest and was now bowling
again, sent down a miserable long hop wide of the off stump. It was a
ball that cried out to be hit. A novice could have dispatched it to
the boundary. The vaulting ambition of the Wykehamist did not stop
short at a mere four. He wanted six. He hit out much too wildly. There
was a click, and Gregory had him behind the wickets.
Two minutes later, by that curious fatality which so often broods over
the survivor of a long partnership, Wix, trying an almost identical
stroke off Sharples, was caught at third man. Here, therefore, were
their two best bats out, and the score under a hundred. We had still
to deal with Smith, Coggin, the other Wykehamist, and the dastard
parson, but, after all, these were but small fry in comparison. Smith
and Coggin were first-class bowlers, but nobody had ever called them
first-class bats.
However, they were far from being rabbits. They may have lacked style
but they certainly had vigour. Smith rattled up thirty-three, mainly
by means of boundaries, and Coggin took forty. The other Wykehamist
compiled a stylish twenty-five. Dacre, to the joy of the Weary
Willies, failed miserably. Sharples shattered him with his second
ball, and then and there danced a cake-walk by the side of the pitch.
The rest of the team were our old friends the unskilled labourers.
They did their best, and once or twice effected prodigious hits, but
Geake got amongst them with slow yorkers, and the thing became a
procession. The tenth Marvis Bay wicket fell five minutes before the
luncheon interval. The scoring had been unusually rapid, even for that
ground, which is small. The full total was two hundred and eleven.
Not a big score for a good wicket; but with Jack Coggin and T. C.
Smith against us we were not riotously optimistic.
We had finished lunch, and I was trying to bring Sanderson to a frame
of mind which would render him fit to come in first with me with any
chance of surviving a couple of overs, when a motor-car puffed up to
the entrance to the ground. It contained one man, who wore goggles and
a cap with a peak that covered his nose.
There was a general move on the part of the two teams in his
direction. A contemplative inspection of a motor-car is the very thing
to round off a cricket lunch. I took Sanderson along with me to look
at it, arguing as we went. Sanderson is a beautiful bat, but he has an
impossible set of nerves. His flesh creeps when he goes to the
wickets, but if he survives a few overs he is worth watching. I had
almost succeeded in convincing him that Coggin and Smith were rather
poor third-class bowlers when we joined the group round the car. Its
owner had removed his goggles, but his face was strange to me.
Smith and Coggin, however, coming up arm-in-arm a moment later,
recognised him and greeted him as a brother. He received their
greetings calmly and replied to them precisely. He seemed a man who
rarely permitted himself to become excited.
"Halloa, Charlie!" said Smith.
"How's things?" inquired Coggin.
"Middling," said the new-comer.
"Is that the motor?"
"That is the motor," replied he, with the precision of an Ollendorff.
Smith climbed into the vacated seat. Coggin was inspecting the rear of
the machine. Its owner eyed them without emotion. The motor continued,
as Sharples pathetically put it, to throb as though its little heart
would break.
Coggin now proceeded to clamber carefully over the body of the car.
"Don't cut the leather with your spikes," said Charlie.
"Right ho," replied Coggin. "What's this thing for?" He touched a
lever with his hand.
"That sets the thing going," said Charlie.
Instant attention of the part of T. C. Smith.
"What—this?" he said.
The owner nodded, and the next moment, without warning, the car
bounded forward down the road. That same instinct which prompts a man
to touch wet paint to see if it really is wet had induced T. C.
Smith to pull the lever.
Our first impulse, on recovering from our surprise, was to laugh. The
sight of Jack Coggin hanging on to the back of his seat was humorous.
Then the serious side of the thing struck us. One or two of the group
made a half-hearted dash down the road, but stopped on realizing the
futility of giving chase. Assistance was out of the question.
"They're all right," said the owner of the car, without emotion, "if
they know how to steer; and it's simple enough. Yes, there they go
round the corner. They're all right."
A buzz of conversation began. We all discussed the incident at one and
the same time. The only person who made no contribution to the
discussion was Charlie. He lit a cigar.
Dacre pulled a watch out of the pocket of his blazer.
"We ought to be starting again soon," he said. "It's nearly three.
When do you think those two men will be coming back?"
Charlie blew the ash off his cigar.
"That," he said, "I can't say. I doubt if either of them knows how to
stop the car."
"Good gracious!" exclaimed Dacre. "Then you mean to say they will go
"Till the thing runs down, I suppose."
"And when will that be?" I asked.
"Why, I couldn't say exactly. They've got enough petrol to take them—
oh, say fifty miles."
"Fifty—miles!" gasped Dacre.
"Call it forty-five," said Charlie, making a concession.
"Shall we start?" I asked, suavely. "Are your men ready?"
Dacre passed a handkerchief over his forehead. "But—but—but——" he
"You had better play two substitutes."
"After all," I said, gently, "their absence cannot be so very
important. As you said, they are merely local talent."
He looked at me with eyes that were fill of expression.
"Merely local talent," I repeated.
It was shortly after the tea interval, when our score was a hundred
and sixty for three wickets, that a small boy entered the field,
bearing in his hand a telegram for the bereaved Charlie. It was signed
"Smith," and had been dispatched apparently from somewhere in the
middle of Cornwall.
"Motor safe," it read. "Returning by train. Tell Dacre not wait
It was at that moment, I fancy, that the Rev. Joseph Dacre experienced
a fleeting regret that he had ever taken holy orders.
Clergymen have to be so guarded in their speech.
And when, an hour later, the Weary Willies won the match with five
wickets in hand, this regret may possibly have become keener.

Perspective is important. We all can look at the same set of circumstances and some of us see problems and some of us see opportunities. Often, if we simply flip or reverse our assumptions, the solution or opportunity presents itself to us.
Think about David and Goliath, you are familiar with that story. Let's look at some "facts".
Goliath: Large & Powerful David: Small and Weak
Goliath: Heavily Armored David: No armor, it would not even fit!
Goliath: Huge Spear David: A sling, a shepherd's weapon
Goliath: Mature and an experienced warrior. David: a young inexperienced shepherd.
Now, what if we look at it this way?
Goliath: A very large target. David: a small, hard to hit target.
Goliath: Slow & weighed down by armor. David: Fast, agile and evasive.
Goliath: A one shot, shorter range weapon. David: A multi-shot weapon, greater range with greater accuracy.
Goliath: Only experienced in conventional warfare. David: An unorthodox method of fighting that would confuse Goliath.
And of course, the deciding factor as we know is that God was with David.
So two questions:
Are you seeing problems / obstacles or are you seeing opportunities?
Are you walking with the Lord and seeking His wisdom or are you trying to do this on your own?
Check out the book ThinkerToys – it is chock full of methods to help you think differently about problem solving.
Blessings on your day as you tackle your giants!

Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort, Hilton Head Island, South Carolina
Date of Stay:
March, 2005 -
Overall Rating:
Gorgeous! The most beautiful campground I have seen to date. Spring flowers everywhere, heated pool, snack shack by pool served lunch every day. Everyone there was polite, friendly, and courteous. Escort service to your site. Since sites are owned by private owners, everyone seems to take pride in their very own piece of land with beautiful landscaping and stamped concrete pads and driveways. The sites' picnic areas can be either in the form of deck style to beautiful raw iron patio furniture. At first we were concerned whether our three children ages 4, 5 & 5 would enjoy this campground due to the adult community owning most of the sites. We learned very quickly that other families with small children rent there, and the owners were extremely friendly and playful with our children. Restaurants are within walking distance and the beautiful bike paths through the island gets you to the beach within minutes. We loved Hilton Head Island, and we'll be back for sure. Just want to make a correction to one of the previous comments regarding what site you will get once you get there. During their busy Holiday times, they will assign a site for you when you get there, however, their regular practice is that you can check out the sites available first (by golf cart) before you make your decision. We camped at Hilton Head Island Motorcoach Resort in a Motorhome.

The concept of human-centered design (HCD) is a philosophy that puts the user at the forefront of the product development cycle. Whereas a traditional product design process generally focuses on building features into a solution, a human-centered approach hones in on the needs, wants and limitations of the end-user and tailors the product along those lines. This user-first design process aims to enable end-users to more efficiently accomplish those tasks that are most important to them in their day-to-day interaction with a given technology.
The International Standards Organization has developed a specification (ISO 9241-210:2010) that outlines the core characteristics of human-centered design. According to ISO, this standard is intended to be used by those managing design processes, and is concerned with ways in which both hardware and software components of interactive systems can enhance human–system interaction.
Emerson Takes On Human-Centered Design
|Emerson Process Management's Device Dashboards employ human-centered design principles to improve ease of use. At-a-glance status and one-button shortcuts speed task completion for evaluating, diagnosing and configuring field devices.

In 2005, Emerson Process Management began investing in its human-centered design initiative, which was developed in accordance with ISO 9241-210 and is now the foundation of Emerson's product design process.
However, Duane Toavs, director of Emerson Process Management's Human Centered Design Institute, says this user-centered culture did not take root without a fair amount of hard work and a change in mindset and approach. "I believe we have the smartest people in the world working on our technology," says Toavs. "But what seems simple to them, is really complicated to most other people." Because of this dynamic, Toavs says it has taken some training and effort to get Emerson's product designers to see the world through the eyes of the end-user. "This is why we created the Human Centered Design Institute," says Toavs. The institute was formed in 2009 with the aim of training Emerson's product designers on the principles of human-centered design and enabling the company's HCD culture.
The motivation behind Emerson's human-centered design push came from the users themselves. Toavs says Emerson found that while it was building a lot of advanced functionality into its products, much of it was not being utilized. When Emerson asked its users why they weren't leveraging what on face value seemed to be particularly advantageous features, the typical reply was that while such options may have been helpful, they were often too complicated and/or time-consuming to install. Upon this realization, Toavs says Emerson's leadership team recognized the company needed to make systems that were more intuitive and easier to use. And so the company began its journey along the human-centered design path, immersing all of its product design associates in user-first design principles.
Features vs. Accomplishing Tasks
At the heart of Emerson's Human Centered Design initiative is a narrow focus on how end-users accomplish the day-to-day tasks of their job. "Human-centered design is not a feature," says Toavs. In fact, he says the term "feature" is actually frowned upon by those at Emerson who spend their time thinking about human-centered design. Instead, he says the mantra for describing HCD at Emerson is "designed for purpose."
David Holmes, public relations manager for Emerson Process Management, says one of the executives at Emerson regularly uses the metaphor of a hotel room alarm clock to explain how product designers can lose sight of what is important to end-users and get too caught up in designing for features. "All you want from a hotel room alarm clock is a sound that will wake you up at the appropriate time in the morning, but it has all of these other features in it," says Holmes. He points out that the average alarm clock may have a CD player, an iPod dock, a variety of ambient sound settings, an AM/FM tuner, a reading light, etc.
Somewhere along the line, Holmes says the designers of the alarm clock got so wrapped up in building features into their product that they lost sight of the end-user. With its Human Centered Design initiative, Holmes says Emerson is fostering a product design culture that positions the end-user as the focal point of the company's technology development roadmap.
Emerson's human-centered design approach is highlighted in its Device Dashboards, which were developed with the aim of streamlining the end-user's typical interaction with field devices. The Device Dashboards provide, in one glance, a view of everything users need to evaluate, diagnose and configure a field device. Each has embedded expert guidance to streamline the most important and frequent tasks performed by plant operations, engineering, and maintenance personnel. All landing screens follow a similar format, including red-yellow-green device status graphics to alert users and enable a direct link to graphical diagnostic and troubleshooting help. The same screens show graphical display of the primary variable of devices and provide shortcuts to the most frequently used tasks. Guided setup assists with configuring complex devices, and more experienced users can access manual setup data and more detailed information as required.
Toavs says Emerson has conducted extensive research to support the development of its Device Dashboards and to quantify the efficiencies they provide. He says results show the Device Dashboards provide an efficiency improvement on the order of 8-to-1 compared to traditional methods for evaluating, diagnosing and configuring field devices. Nevertheless, he says this efficiency improvement would be for naught if the Device Dashboards weren't, first and foremost, easy to use.
"If it requires a bunch of effort to get the [return on investment] out of the product, [the end-users] aren't going to do it," says Toavs. As such, he says the most critical aspect of Emerson's Device Dashboards is how easy they make it for the end-user to perform the most important and most common tasks associated with field devices.
The User Is No. 1
Toavs says Emerson's Human Centered Design approach is about creating a user-first mindset within the company. "Instead of reviewing the products to see if they are meeting requirements, we are training our designers and they have been thoroughly dipped in the goo of HCD and carry it with them every day," says Toavs.
Emerson has partnered with Luma Institute to conduct research and develop training modules that revolve around human-centered design. And in what Toavs believes is a sign of affirmation, Emerson Process Management's Human Centered Design program has been adopted by its parent company, Emerson, which recently hired its own HCD director, who is collaborating with Toavs to drive the concept of Human Centered Design on a company-wide scale.
HCD Brain Drain?
As industry faces the retirement of many of its more experienced technical professionals in the years to come and as universities, particularly in the United States, are struggling to generate more Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) graduates, a trend toward easy-to-use products may seem as though it will further exacerbate the shortfall of technical knowhow many companies now face. The question arises that if the next generation of engineering and technical professionals are interfacing only with products that bring the easiest and most common tasks to the forefront, will this stunt the sort of innovation and creativity that is the product of working with technology in a more traditional "hands-on" fashion?
Emerson sees the issue from a different perspective. Through human-centered design, it believes it is enabling technical professionals to more effectively perform the tasks of their jobs. "[The] workforce is what it is," says Toavs, "and we have to do what we can to help them do their jobs more efficiently."
Toavs uses an example from the early stages of his career when he worked in a plant environment to show how technology can change the landscape for the better. He says the plant was upgrading to distributed control systems (DCS), which his supervisor – an old-school veteran engineer – was somewhat skeptical about. As a result, the supervisor, who Toavs says was the type of guy who liked his operators to "feel the vibration in the pipes," ordered the installation of expensive board-mounted controllers in case the DCS ever went down. "Not one time in the history of the plant did they have to get up to touch those board-mounted controllers after the DCS was installed," says Toavs. He says the lesson learned from that experience is that while hands-on experience is certainly an asset, technology, when properly designed and employed, can offer a safer and more efficient alternative.
Holmes believes the true value of human-centered design is that it holds the potential to allow end-users to truly shine in their jobs. He says that in his early years working in plant environments, the one thing that frustrated him the most was the amount of time he had to expend just to accomplish routine tasks. Because he was so tied up with such tasks, he had little time to tackle some of the more complicated issues that needed to be addressed. Through human-centered design, Holmes believes Emerson is helping end-users who are in a similar position to be more efficient with everyday tasks so they have more time to work on those more sophisticated problems, which, in turn, will allow them to really stand out at their companies.

This evening the rain has set in so it was with some surprise we heard boat movement outside. Peeping out of the porthole we saw our first fat boat, aka wide beam on the move. We have seen plenty of these moored up on the Grand Union but this was our first moving one, hence the quick photo.
The weather for tomorrow is not looking too clever at the moment, so a decision on moving will be made in the morning.

posted by meowser
Recently, my dad was interviewed for a Big Deal National Publication, for a story they were doing on real estate in the area where he lives. He emailed me to tell me the exciting news, and right then and there I could have told him my great news, about FatFu (the blog) getting mentioned in a BDNP also. Not that that was my doing at all, of course, they were merely referencing the brilliant work of my brilliant coblogger (OK, Fu, I'll stop now, I promise), and I was merely along for the ride. But at least they didn't say, "Except for the work of Meowser, which is completely inane and should be ignored at all costs," so I'll take it. Yet I could not bring myself to tell him. The words got stuck in my throat. Fingers. Something.
My father does not know I blog about fat. Neither does my mother. Or my brother. In fact, a lot of people I know in meatspace don't know. My boyfriend and my ex-husband know. That's about it.
Just what kind of idiot blogger am I, not even telling my own family and friends what I'm doing? Valerie Plame probably wasn't this secretive about her calling, at least not with people who were close to her. I mean, it's not as if they don't know I hold what most people consider unorthodox views about fat (i.e. that it's not some kind of full-body malignant tumor, which is evidently a "radical" POV, go fig). I started doing this as a lark, really, I did not set out to become a fat blogger. I posted some stuff. People liked it. Fu asked me to join up with her. I did. Now it's gotten to the point where I have to ask myself: what am I so fucking afraid of? And I suppose my answer is this: An argument.
Yes, an argument. Let me tell you something about my dad. He LOVES an argument — he and my stepmom will thrust-and-parry happily for hours over the most piddling shit you can imagine, like what color toilet to put in the guest bathroom — and he is crazy about Weight Watchers. He is 67 and male, and therefore the weight he lost with them (he claims about 50 pounds) is likely to stay off for good unless he goes on prednisone. As those of you who watch this space are well aware, we at FatFu (and elsewhere in the Fatosphere) give WW, if you'll pardon the expression, a very wide berth. I do not love an argument. I do not love people I love being angry with me. I really don't love it, a lot. A lot of people dread conflicts with loved ones, but for me it's beyond dread, it's like…well, discovering a full-body malignant tumor, actually.
But I also feel that the diet culture is toxic and destructive. And Weight Watchers is a DIET DIET DIET. Yes, it is, Dad, sorry. Marilyn Wann Rule Number 3 (or is it 4?): "If you have to count what you put in your mouth, it's a diet." And I want, someday, maybe very soon, to do more than just preach to the choir about it. The world desperately needs healing and liberation on the subject of fat, it's gasping and choking for it, and I'm starting to feel more and more like just doing my stupid little job and hiding behind my furry avatar to express myself periodically just isn't enough for me. If I want more than that, if I want my words to reach the general public and the unconverted, I have to take the risk of going public with my true identity and my true, still rather controversial point of view. This may also mean making my real name public knowledge. (No magazine or newspaper is going to publish me with the byline "Meowser," after all.)
Another reason this scares the crap off my cracker is that I still have to work for a living. Not being eligible for private insurance, I am umbilically attached to my employer for this. As you might recall, I've revealed some rather intimate details about my life under this pseudonym of mine, stuff I might not necessarily want to tell the world with my real name attached to it, stuff that could cause an employer to be rather suspicious of me. (I have the kind of job where I got hired remotely and they do not know what I look like, but a Google search can bring up more than they want to know.)
Once I make it a known fact that Meowser=insertrealnamehere, I take a very real risk of being blackballed, which might actually be a lot worse than having an argument with my dad over Weight Watchers stupidity. (My mother wouldn't argue with me; she just wouldn't get it. And my brother might not argue with me too strenuously — he doesn't like butting heads any more than I do — but his knowing heightens the risk of my dad finding out.)
And yeah, the Kathy Sierra shit scares me too. Call me a giant pussy, but when she got the noose pictures and Liss and Amanda had menacing people knocking on their doors in the wake of the John Edwards controversy, I told myself, "I will NEVER reveal my true identity online, ever. It's not worth it." Yes, I know that THE WOMANHATE TERRORISTS TOTALLY WIN if all women bloggers adopt that attitude. Blogging is not for giant pussies. But I AM a giant pussy! And in some ways it's comfortable, in a devil-you-know sort of way. Being terminally inconsequential is always an option. But it's one I keep eating out the lining of my stomach over day by day. Which is NOT comfortable.
So what would you do?
