Applying Brain Science to Leadership
Part of the The Leadership Brain For Dummies Cheat Sheet
When you lead with the brain in mind, you address the structures of the brain and its needs. One way that scientists commonly consider the brain is as structure that includes three separate brains that have their own specialized jobs. Understanding how these structures work and what they need enables you to better relate to and lead your employees — and better understand your own reactions, to boot! Here are a few tips for working with the brain's structure:
The survival brain wants safety and security. In a nutshell, its job is to keep you alive, and so it's always on the lookout for changes in the environment that might put you in jeopardy.
You address this brain's needs by providing a predictable and stable workplace. Provide predictability through the use of agendas, schedules, newsletters, and procedures.
The emotional brain that deals not just with emotion but memory. You help keep this part of the brain humming by being socially aware (note your feelings but don't let them rule you), and you put it to work for you by giving employees an emotional connection to training.
Any information that's connected to an emotion has a better chance of becoming a long-term memory. Remember that emotions are contagious; whatever you're feeling will spread to your employees and your customers. Be positive and optimistic!
The thinking brain handles the brain's executive functions: decision-making, future planning, judgment, and emotional control. The brain learns through feedback.
Change your employees' minds by providing immediate, constructive feedback. And maintain your integrity so that you give your employees and clients someone to believe in.

cosmic baby ferris
Our art director discovered a fun little program called Pixelmator, which can transform an image or a small bit of an image into an elaborate all over pattern or a kaleidoscopic wonder. I am totally mesmerized by it too. Check out these transformations of our free pattern Baby Ferris (shown unaltered bottom right). Those baby feet are cute and kinda weird at the same time.
Those baby feet are spooky!November 12, 2009

LOL! The first thing that caught my attention was the colors — beautiful! I must admit that I didn't spot the baby feet right away. However, once I did, I understood — totally weird — but intriguing.November 18, 2009

text: I did say that I was going to submit a tutorial on a chibi version of Gale Hawthorn so here it is. I didn't want to lie to you guys, and forgive me for saying that the mockingjay was going to be the last Hunger Games tutorial I was going to submit. Instead, this lesson on "how to draw chibi Gale", step by step is going to be the last HG submission I will make, or for a while at least. Anyways, I wanted to keep this chibi concept just as simple as the rest, and even though some chibi lessons can be complicated to tackle, I'm sure that you will be fine when you begin this one. Gale Hawthorn is one of the three main figures in Hunger Games and if you follow the book series you should already know the story. Well I guess that is all I can really say about Gale, all I can do now is shut up and let you get busy. I will be back because there is still more submissions coming your way.

It's interesting to look at all the stuff listed in this thread and see how much of it is actually going to make it into the final game. A LOT of it will. Some of it won't, but you can't have everything.
Frankly, from what I've heard I'm satisfied. As long as they don't screw up the car handling, and they put in everything they say they're putting in, I'm going to be happier than a pig in slop. It's shaping up to be everything I could reasonably hope for.
The only thing I want that I haven't seen evidence of is an honest to God metal station.

Ok lets see now, what I want for GTAV with respect..
I want to be able to choose or select player appearance. The player has to swear a lot. 'Also constantly carry a backpack for realism' because his gotta carry a lot of weapons.
I want a load more weapons too, like being able to carry two pistols, shotguns, machine guns etc... 'A one weapons list for all'. (His got the back pack for it too).
English and sometimes other languages too like for eg: Turkish, Arabic, hybrid or all! even Chinese. Have the player select what style or appearance model he wants his player... IF YOU CAN. 'I can give you some words if interested or input in game) Like for example
Player speech;
'I only want peace in world, harmony and all the good stuff, freedom fuck! why do people shit me?'
'Fucking corrupt Government need to recognize where they went wrong'
Bastards wanna play? Fuckyall bitch I ain't doing bad for the good of a nation, im doing bad for the good sake of earth'
'Have to call mum soon she will want me to take out the rubbish
Also sometimes speeches having him remember his mom who sometimes calls him etc... Asks his welfare ad if he found himself a wife yet? Etc... Realism a little...
Also these speeches should be able in other languages too so anybody can fit there style of liking.
Also I want the game able to be modded easy please!! <- most important ' cars guns textures etc.. I want less crashes and shit. 8)
Should be fun, if i get more ideas ill sharem here!

I want more character customisation than GTA SA and most definitely IV...the customisation in that was terrible.
I want a wider range of radio genre's...In SA I loved Radio X as they had songs such as Faith No More - Midlife Crysis, Ozzy - Hellraiser, Rage Against The Machine - Killing In The Name, Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus, Danzig - Mother, Guns 'n' Roses - Welcome to the Jungle, Soundgarded - Rusty Cage, Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing and then there was K-Rose with Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn - Louisiana Woman, Mississippi Man. (All brilliant tracks with some of my favourite bands)
GTA IV only had Burro Banton - Badder Den Dem, Bunji Garlin - Brrrt, Chuck Fenda - All About Da Weed, Buju Banton - Driver on Massive B (all of which were semi-decent), Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygène Pt 4, Philip Glass - Pruit Igoe on The Journey (Awesome tracks, best in the game IMHO), and I think Liberty Rock had some alright tunes too but other than that, I thought the tracks didn't meet my expectations really.
If multiplayer is to be included (which it undoubtedly will), at least give it a point...a section specifically for free-for-all free roam is necessary as GTA IVs annoyed the faeces out of me.
I want to be able to hunt and gain something from doing so as was done in RDR
More non-major character interactions.
Drivable trains that can derail.
A usable bus service (although I have heard this will be included with a city tour too)
Some dual-wielding (possibly with different weapons (e.g. pistol and SMG).
Gun customisation perhaps.
Property customisation (E.g. furniture, decorations, perhaps wallpaper)
More personalisation abilities from the iFruit.
Car bombs.
Personalised radio station (with tracks that are on your console/pc. I am aware that PC had that ability and perhaps 360 but PS3 didn't.)
A prone stance.
Drive-by's 'cause "Suckers are hiddin' Jump behind the bush when they see me driving by, Hangin' out my window, And my magnum takin' out some puto's " (Cypress Hill/Rage Against The Machine - How I could just kill a man).
Burglary of homes.
Flame thrower.
Visible unequipped weapons or maybe in a rucksack rather than him pulling them from thin air.
I'm sure there is more i could think of but for now that is my contribution. ROLL ON SEPTEMBER!

Do we know if there will be a season? For example, snow in winter, heatwaves in summer, bare trees in "the fall" or autumn, and vibrant foliage in spring?
Also, it would be nice to see some female cops, medics and fire fighters.
I wonder if the girlfriends feature will remain...and if so how will that work? I think Michael has a wife. I wonder if it would be possible for 2 (or more) characters (depending on how naughty Michael is) to date the same girl and if there will be any repercussions if they do...
And yes some quakes would be pretty damn cool but to often and it could become annoying.
I am also guessing the in-game internet will also have more functions than emails and dating.
I also wonder what will happen if you are playing a mission in which you have two or more playable characters and one of them is killed. Will the whole mission fail? Interesting.
Will GTA V have driving and flying school as in GTA: SA?
Will ambulance drivers revive those with bullets to the brain? Or will they now have stretchers to take there corpses?
Will heads explode like in GTA: SA? If so, I WANT REALISM!
Will we have ridable horses? Horses and carts? Livestock?
And is it still not confirmed whether it will be coming out on PS4 yet? I have GTA IV for PC and was planning on getting a PS3 but I think the PS4 is a better investment and I want Watch_Dogs for PS4 (purely for the nicer graphics than PS3) but I can't go without GTA V.

They've said the "girlfriend" mechanic isn't making a return, and the whole "friends calling you at inopportune times to go bowling etc" I don't think is coming back either. Good, because it was annoying as hell.
I haven't heard any mention of flight/driving school in GTAV, but your driving/flying abilities WILL improve over time.
I would guess if one of the characters is killed during a mission, it's a fail. Likewise if arrested.
Seasons seem pretty remote. They've never done it before and I don't think they're going to start now. Keep in mind, that means 4 different texture packs for foliage, different models, a lot of things have to change for that to work.

A Step Further
The overall consensus seems to be, and I agree, that the new GTA looks amazing and that realistic is a good feel so long as players have the option to be ridiculous. From what I have seen of the new game I will be happy to play it as is. Having said that I have always fantasied about doing crazy things in GTA. Here is a brief list of a few:
*ZOO; have a zoo with a very wide range of animals that you can release on the general populous. Take it further and trap a tiger and lure it into a van. Drive it to a police station and let it go. Have an animal control unit that will attempt to re capture these animals. Animals behave as they would in life. Tigers eat everything they can find and stop when full. Monkeys climb, jump, swing, etc. You get the idea.
3 CHARACTERS; the three characters idea is great. Can we use all tree in free roam to set up ambushes? If player one gets arrested, do we automatically get put into one of the two other characters and need to go break player one out of jail. If one player dies the other two meet at the hospital and pick him up.
ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION; Buildings collapse, rocket launchers do structural damage to buildings, etc. Weather has an effect. Have snow, sleet, hail, lighting, tornados, hurricanes, etc. Drive a car through a store window. Things of this nature would add hours of time to playing the game.
CHEATS; lets have a better cheat system. The phone was great.
Weapons: Stock weapons should fit the game and not be ridiculous. That is the weapons you are normally given in the game should be accessible through cheats and kept separate. There should be a ridiculous weapon cheat for those who want to have some fun outside of normal game play and each weapon should effect the world. No more rocket launchers hitting a building and leaving no damage. Each weapon should allow for different types of kills. Knives allow stealth kills. Bow and arrow as well. Stealth killing does not raise wanted level. Hide the body in the trunk. Things like this. Also have other worldly weapons that do ridiculous things. Thor's Hammer, gravity gun, vaporizer, lightsaber, etc. Each has its own effect.
Skins: One thing I hate about skins is that you can get some really cool skins like iron man, batman, superman, and they cannot do anything that is unique to the skin. Iron man should fly, have his pulse guns (whatever they are) and they should work as such. Batman should get the batmobile. You get the idea. Have the Hulk do serious carnage to buildings and the environment.
Environmental: Low gravity (moon bounce), storms, natural disasters, Volcano, meteors, tidal wave, etc. Each inflicting environmental change and effect.
Vehicles: All sorts of crazy vehicles.
These are just a few ideas. Rockstar has already implemented a lot of things we have all thought about over the years. A submarine, treasure hunting, driving a car out of a plane, etc This new game even if it has nothing I listed above will still be loads of fun. I have many more ideas but thought I would keep things relatively short. Have a nice day. See you all in multiplayer.

Hell yeah. I hope that they make it possible to have your character occasionally SIT DOWN! Even a hard-core gamer needs to be able to stop and to "smell the roses" from time-to-time, so-to-speak. The other thing that I hope that we'll be able to do is to use stealth techniques like some of what you get in the Hitman games -- such as being able to swipe disguises from unsuspecting guards, janitors, or kitchen personnel. Being able to non-lethally put down an enemy would be awesome too.
Finally, it would be great if you could complete many (if not all) missions with low body counts. I just like the challenge of completing a task while having to be careful about where (and who) you shoot. For instance, if you are careful and quiet enough, it would be great to make it easier to evade the police -- and possibly not even attract any police attention whatsoever. Plus, being able to hide bodies (alive or dead) would be a big plus.

Why don't you just buy Hitman, because it sounds a lot like what you want to play. At least that way you don't have to wait 5 weeks.

"Will GTA V have driving and flying school as in GTA: SA?"
as far as i know ive seen a video yesterday with a couple of screencaps where we were being shown a book of the flight school that was from the same year that GTA-San Andreas came out, so its a big hint to me there probably will be a flight school again, personally i really hope this will return, i loved the flight school and the driving school, they really help you build up your skills and its a big fun to take the time to get all golds on every test wich was pretty hard imo.

Heya GTA guys! I wanted to add something, or repeat, whichever the case may be.
I keep hoping to see some wingsuits in the game. We've seen base jumping with parachutes, but no wingsuits yet. I saw this video recently which only made me want it in the game even more. Flying through countryside and city skylines? Yes, please.

Butchers Hill LP: A Tess Monaghan Novel (Large Print / Paperback, Large Print)
No sooner has Tess Monaghan hung her PI-for-hire shingle outside her new office on Butchers Hill when in walks Luther Beale. The notorious vigilante who shot a boy for vandalizing his car five years ago, Luther has just gotten out of prison and wants to make amends, he says, to the kids who witnessed his crime. He needs to find them first, and that's where Tess comes in. But once she starts snooping, the witnesses start dying. Like it or not, she's gotten herself embroiled in a case that could have devastating repercussions for Tess herself, the city she treasures, and the young lives a corrupt system heartlessly destroys—as she follows a nasty trail of lies, money, and murder that winds from Baltimore's darkest corners all the way back to Butchers Hill.
About the Author

Her six most recent books have all been New York Times bestsellers. Lippman has won numerous literary prizes for her work, including the Edgar®, Anthony, Nero Wolfe, Agatha, Gumshoe, Barry, and Macavity Awards.

text: Just received my new RS-1 head and like the fit and finish very much. I do have one suggestion regarding its use with the Nikon D800/16mm. This camera/lens combination is heavy enough that upper horizontal arm slips on the upper rail unless the rotator tightening knob is twisted exceedingly tight. The problem is the 20mm diameter washer underneath the knob. It is thin, slippery and has a stamping burr on the edge...making it difficult to bring enough pressure to bear on the upper rail. Substituting a thick 25mm diameter fender washer (McMaster-Carr 90313A107) solved the problem. I look forward to using this new rig.

Still waiting for a new Prince of Persia and Beyond Good and Evil 2? "It could take some time…"Written by: / / 1 Comment
Do you still carry a torch for Beyond Good and Evil 2? Were you intrigued to hear about the possibility of a new Prince of Persia game made using the UbiArt Framework that powered Rayman Legends and Child of Light?
You're not the only one, and while Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot isn't going to extinguish your dreams just yet he has tempered fan expectations for when we might find out more.
Speaking to IGN during E3, Guillemot said regarding a new Prince of Persia and the next Beyond Good and Evil:
"We are not going to stop those properties. We are going to work on them. The teams are really looking at what we can come [up] with. I think you will really like what you see in the future. It could take some time to make sure we are really delivering what we want."
How Now, Citizen Xiao
What brought on the newfound interest in Beyond Good and Evil? During a recent livestream hosted by Rayman creator Michel Ancel, viewers were teased with a look at a piece of Beyond Good and Evil concept art featuring a differently designed version of protagonist Jade from the original game – this is what the audience saw:
Michel Ancel also teased that after working on Rayman Legends, it's time to "make serious games now. Beyond Good & Evil [is] a good candidate for making a real, serious game now."
Could we see Beyond Good and Evil 2 at E3 2015? Hope springs eternal.
Are you still waiting for Beyond Good and Evil 2? Would you play a 2D Prince of Persia game with the kinds of painterly visuals we've seen in Rayman Legends and Child of Light?

I recently started jogging slowly and I get a little back ache after jogging for 2 Km which stops me from jogging further. It is normal when i stop jogging. I am overweight by about 12-13 Kg. What I'd like to know is will this back ache disappear eventually after some days allowing me to jog as much time as I can ? I do not have this problem when i do other things and even when i play soccer.

Its funny I had something happen like this to me many years ago. My back would ache when I jogged for a certain amount of time but I was able to play soccer and basketball with no pain at all. I went and saw a dr about this who referred to a orthopedic dr. It turned out to be the following combination of things:
So how did I fix these things:
Pain free now.
I would definitely consult a sports doctor about this problem. It could be a result of any number of conditions or a combination of conditions. However, here is a list of issues that have caused lower back pain in my experience, in no particular order, with remedies where possible:
I doubt that your back pain with jogging will go away unless you specifically address the cause.
When you jog on an alignment problem, whether it is your foot/ankle/knee/hip/pelvis or spine, the impact of each step aggravates the problem. The more steps you take, the worse the problem becomes. It is to your advantage to have an evaluation of your back, posture, lower extremity alignments, muscle weakness/tightness as well as a running analysis, preferably by a sports physical therapist.
@Richard has given you some good ideas about how orthotics, core strengthening and running form can address alignment problems. Your problems may be the same or different, so it is worth having a pro take a look at you and give you specific recommendations.
If you don't have access to a running evaluation, you may want to try Chi Running. It is a running technique designed to reduce or prevent injuries and to improve your running efficiency. The technique addresses flexibility, stride, posture, cadence, breathing, body awareness and feedback.
You can learn the Chi Running technique from their book and dvd from their site. Or you can get just the book on Amazon. (If you get the book from Amazon I'd appreciate it if you use the link on our site.) The best way to learn is by attending one of their workshops.
If you try the above suggestions and still can't run without causing back pain, some other options are jogging in water with or without resistance bands, cycling, using an elliptical trainer or using nordic walking poles. The buoyancy of the water reduces the amount of weight compressing your joints and spine. The elliptical trainer and cycling also reduce or eliminate impact. The nordic walking poles engage your trunk muscles, reduce impact and improve your back alignment.
Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I use netbook edition of Ubuntu and I am quite happy. Should I migrate now?
closed as not constructive by Marco Ceppi♦ Oct 12 '10 at 15:53
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
The answer is really: it depends.
If you are very happy with all the software you are using now, and you are using your netbook very regularly, I would not see any reason to update now (or even in the future). You can just stick to the LTS versions.
On the other hand, if you like me want to have the newest software, or just a piece of software that is not available for your version, it is ok to upgrade. The upgrades of ubuntu are really smooth and the change of breaking something is not big. There is however a change, so just weigh your risks.
For now, there is really a new interface for the netbook. I would suggest using a live-usb to test the new version whether you like it or not and decide based on that.
Not everybody likes the new Unity netbook interface, so you might want to test it first from a live medium (live-CD or live-USB).
Otherwise, upgrading should be fine, although some people prefer to wait a couple of weeks (some bugs found around or after the release will be fixed by then).

I would like to know what is the best way to tone up my buttocks? I am approaching thirty and am worried about everything getting saggy.

Barbell squats and barbell deadlifts are both excellent movements for your glutes/lower body.
EDIT - It has been requested that I elaborate on how to perform these movements, which is a bit daunting considering there have been entire books devoted to how to squat and deadlift, but I'll try to give a concise rundown:
These are the cues I think about to keep my form as good as possible while doing these movements. Please comment if you have other helpful cues.
Just something different, I think you will like these 2 exercises, frog jumps and platypus *walk* from celebrity trainer David Kirsch. See this video of Victoria Secret models tryout/contest:
A. Grasp a medicine ball with both hands and extend your arms overhead. Squat in a sitting position with your knees aligned with your toes and your butt sticking back as far as you can get it.
B. Keep your core tight as you walk forward, pushing off through each heel. If you perform the move correctly, your butt and inner thighs will be on fire. Walk across the room in one direction and then reverse and walk backward. If your room is small, repeat crossing the room one time before moving on to jumping lunges.
A. Squat down while sticking your butt out. Keep your knees just above not in front of your toes.
B. Spring up while thrusting your arms overhead. Land on your heels, rolling forward onto your toes.
There are tons of butt toning workout from David, as he's clients are mostly women, I think you'll like his exercises. Hope this helps
I agree with @Ben's answer as far as squats, deadlifts and lunges being good glute exercises. Additionally, you may want to check into Callanetics. It is based on short, repetitive movements at the end of the range. This approach specifically targets the deep gluteal and hip muscles that help to contract and lift the buttocks. I'm sorry I can't find a link to a picture that shows the progression of the buttock line lifting.
Another similar program using these small isometric type contractions is Pure Barre.
Given your goal of tightening up and lifting the buttocks, I think you will be happy with these types of exercises. Just realize that these exercises only deal with shrinking the space you occupy. If you need to lose weight as well, follow good diet principles and appropriate calorie burning exercises like HIIT.
I agree with BenWillkommen's suggestions.
I have two more which don't require a gym with a squat rack...
Legs=any part of legs really. Cardio helps because it trims fat and tightens everything, so I would suggest that as well. Specific to quick easy leg exercises that aren't mentioned above, I would do any of these things:
Air squats, forward and side lunges, sprawl, wall chair, and lots and lots of jump rope. (if possible)
Vary it between lots of fast reps and holding in place for 30+ seconds or however long you can stand it.
DO them CORRECTLY and form first, reps second. You'll majorly mess up knees and back if you do them with bad form.
Someone asked a similar question here that I answered: Quick leg workout without equipment

Greetings traveller,
In this final issue of Tales From The Isle everybody was very much in the mood for the upcoming football extravaganza. You must know about the huge sports competition that's now upon us and that everybody has been talking about all around the world - that's right, it's the The Ultimate Ardbeg Distillery Swamp Football Tournament!
Ardbeg Day is celebrated all over the world, not least at the distillery on Islay as part of Fèis Ìle. It's also fair to say that when Ardbeg do something, they do it properly, so there's an awful lot to tell you about here. I'd packed my yellow and blue havaianas and a Brazuca football, but there's always still time for a beastie or two as well...

I do not completely understand, why do we consider Hamilton–Jacobi equation $H(q,p)=E$ as equation of motion, whereas it is looks like energy-conservation law?
That is not the hamilton-jacobi equation. What you have above is an equality between the time-ind. Hamiltonian and the energy of a particle with generalized postion q and momentum p. Energy is conserved in some systems, but it depends on the exact mathematical form of the hamiltonian and has nothing to do with this equation as far as I know.
As Timtam pointed out, this is not the Hamilton-Jacobi Equation. If you say, quantum mechanically, this does not even make any sense because, there the Hamiltonian is an operator which has to act on some eigenstate to give the energy of that state. Effectively, energy of the different states becomes the eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian. As far as conservation laws are concerned, it comes from the symmetry of the problem. A symmetry is defined as a transformation which keeps the action invariant \begin{equation} A = \int L dt \end{equation} (If, identity belongs to the group of transformation, then it becomes a continuous symmetry. The symmetries gives rise to Noether currents which are conserved. You get your conservation laws because the system has symmetries, not because the eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian is the energy which is anyways true. Classically, if we consider a non-dispersive system, then the Hamiltonian evaluated at a definite $p$ and $q$ gives you the energy of the system at that point. Go to another point and evaluate $H$, you should get the same number (since, it is non-dissipative). However, to know if energy will be conserved at all or not, you need the explicit form of the Hamiltonian.
Hamilton Jacobi equation corresponds to a transformation to a phase space where canonically conjugate variables remain constant over time. {Q,P}=1 The new hamiltonian $K= H+\frac{ds}{dt}$ with the condition $K=0$ In quantum mechanics Schrodinger equation gives rise to HJ equation at the limit $\hbar$ tends to 0.

Eight Eagleton Fellows Selected From the Law School
Seven current students and one Class of 2011 alumnus of Rutgers School of Law–Newark have been selected as Eagleton Fellows for the 2011-2012 academic year. The Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University awards up to 27 one-year fellowships annually through four related programs: Harold and Reba Martin Fellowships, Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellowships, Governor's Executive Fellowships, and an Eagleton Alumni Fellowship.
The program is open to graduate students from all Rutgers' schools and departments who have an interest in politics and government. Eagleton Fellows take one of two specially-designed seminars during the fall semester to prepare them for a placement in the spring in: the New Jersey Legislature; Office of the Governor, state executive agency or department; government offices at the local, county, state, regional and federal levels; or related offices.
Following is a brief profile of the law school's 2011–2012 Eagleton Fellows:
Guillermo Artiles '12, who earned a B.A. in government from Hamilton College, was a paralegal at Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP before entering law school. Artiles is president of the Student Bar Association, vice president of the Association of Latin American Law Students, articles editor of the Rutgers Law Review, co-chair of the Class Fund, teaching fellow in the Minority Student Program, and research assistant for two professors. During his first law school summer, he was a judicial extern for the Hon. Esther Salas, U.S. District Court of New Jersey. Most recently he was a summer associate at McElroy Deutsch Mulvaney & Carpenter, LLP. He is a Governor's Executive Fellow.
David Baumwoll '13 joined Teach for America after graduating from Tufts University with a B.A. in political science and psychology. Inspired by his experiences teaching in the Newark public schools, he proposed an education program to Mayor Cory Booker and was subsequently recruited to lead a similar citywide initiative called the Mayor's Achievement Challenge. Baumwoll received his master's in public policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government where he was chair of a conference aimed at introducing Boston youth to public service. Last summer he was a legal intern for the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of New York. A Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellow, he will be placed in the Senate Majority Office in the spring.
Craig Bronsnick '13 studied public affairs management at the School of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA) at Indiana University. He participated in SPEA's Washington Leadership Program and worked in the office of U.S. Senator Richard Lugar. After graduation he studied at Johns Hopkins University's Washington Center for Advanced Governmental Studies. His volunteer experiences in Washington, D.C. include both grassroots campaign efforts and advocacy on Capitol Hill. He is president of the Rutgers Federalist Society and a Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellow. His spring placement will be in the Assembly Minority Office.
Ralph Humphrey '12, a Governor's Executive Fellow, received his B.A. in music industry from the University of New Haven and paralegal certification from New York University. Over the past 10 years he has worked in the investment management and reinsurance fields. His research interests include hedge funds, private equity, corporate governance, campaign finance, and financial regulation. Humphrey is editor-in-chief of the Rutgers Business Law Review, a member of the World Policy Institute, New York City Bar Association, New York Society of Security Analysts, and American Bar Association. Through the International Bar Association he created a student committee which now has about 600 members worldwide.
Diana Pasculli '12, who is editor-in-chief of the Women's Rights Law Reporter and a Legal Research and Writing teaching assistant, graduated from Smith College with a B.A. in psychology. She then joined Teach for America, taught middle school in the Bronx, NY, and received a master's degree in teaching from Fordham University. She returned to New Jersey to teach at TEAM Academy: A KIPP Charter School, where she helped implement the school's first comprehensive special education program. Last summer, thanks to the Professor Paul Tractenberg Public Interest Law Foundation Grant, she worked at the Office of the Commissioner of the NJ Department of Education. A Henry J. Raimondo Legislative Fellow, she will be placed at the Office of Legislative Services.
Erin Phalon '12, a Governor's Executive Fellow, has a B.A. in history from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's of public affairs and politics from Rutgers University. This past summer she worked for the Sierra Club Environmental Law Program. Phalon has held communications positions at the NJ Department of Transportation and the NJ Department of Environmental Protection, been a legislative aide in the NJ Senate Majority, and worked for Democratic campaigns in Colorado, Louisiana and New Jersey. At the law school she was awarded a Kinoy-Stavis Public Interest Fellowship and a Proskauer Rose Public Interest Fellowship, and has served as president of the Environmental Law Society and vice chair of the Public Interest Law Foundation.
Lindsay Spero '12, a Governor's Executive Fellow, received her B.A. from Rutgers College where she was a political science and history major and an Eagleton undergraduate associate. Before coming to law school she was the legislative director for State Senator and Majority Leader Barbara Buono. As a law student she has interned at the NJ Attorney General's office, Consumer Fraud Section, for U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Dickson, and at Volunteer Lawyers for Justice as the 2011 Proskauer Rose Fellow. Spero is a staff editor of the Rutgers Business Law Review, Westlaw student representative, and a member of the Women's Law Forum.
Also, from the Class of 2011, Andrew Todd K. Kunka, who is completing his master's degree at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Urban Planning and Public Policy, is a Governor's Executive Fellow. While a law student, Kunka was co-chair of the LGBTQ Caucus and provided outreach to LGBTQ youth living in Newark, for which he received the Minority Student Program's Service Award. He was recently appointed by Newark Mayor Cory Booker to his LGBTQ Advisory Commission.

As is usually the case, both Monroe Central and Magnolia came into the season with high expectations.
With the season at the halfway point, the Blue Eagles are soaring and the Seminoles are reeling.
They'll get the chance to play one another Friday night in Woodsfield.
The Seminoles come into the game at 3-2, but they're coming off a tough-to-swallow 28-0 reversal at Fort Frye, which has led to a lot of head scratching for head coach Jay Circosta.
"We had a long talk after we got back from Fort Frye because that kind of performance was just totally out of character for us," Circosta said. "It wasn't just one thing, but a combination of things and it's tough to put a finger on it. I've been lying awake at night trying to come up with ways to correct it and make it better if I can."
One area that's totally out of Circosta's control is in the health department. The Seminoles are a banged up football team and have also battled their fair share of illness.
"Last week was a disaster, but there's still half a season left and we know we've got our work cut out for us," Circosta said. "I think we've got a lot of winnable games left, but we've got to stay away from future injuries and get things turned around."
While the Seminoles are trying to re-group, the Blue Eagles have won four straight since opening the season with a one-point loss to Linsly. Included in their winning streak was a hard-earned 17-13 win against Wheeling Central last week.
"That was definitely a nice win for us last week," Magnolia head coach Mark Batton said. "It might not have been the prettiest game, but a win is a win."
Batton knows regardless of any struggles the Seminoles might be enduring, winning along Jay Circosta Boulevard is never an easy task.
"There is great tradition and a great atmosphere in Woodsfield," Batton said. "We know they've been struggling with injuries and illness, but we have no doubt that Coach Circosta will have his team ready to play Friday."
The Seminoles are led by senior quarterback Korey Lafferre, who's been impressive in his first season under center. He's passed for 353 yards and two touchdowns. He's been highly productive on the ground, amassing 525 yards and scoring eight touchdowns.
Senior Levi Brown serves as the Seminoles' tailback. He's ran for 380 yards this season.
"Monroe does a lot of different things offensively," Batton noted. "I think Korey Lafferre is a really nice player. He's got great feet and vision. He does a good job of running their offense. We have to know where he's at and what he's doing on every play."
The Blue Eagles' offense is highlighted by explosive senior Stephen Rogalski, who is one of the Ohio Valley's most electric players.
Rogalski has been battling a shoulder injury, but still played and came through in a big way against the Knights last weekend, including catching a 76-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Tanner Hanna.
"We've got a big challenge this week against a good football team," Circosta said. "They've got a veteran quarterback and one of the best wide receivers in the state of West Virginia. He can go at any play. Plus, they line him up at different spots, which also makes it tough."
The Blue Eagles' ground game is led by Drew Keller, who had 83 yards and a score last week.
The Seminoles' defense has been solid this season, but injuries have started to take a toll. Again, Batton believes they'll have it figured out by Friday.
"They always play hard," Batton said. "They play aggressively up front and they're always well prepared. They're really good at what they do and it causes you to prepare a game plan a little differently."

GOP should call Democrats' bluff on the fiscal cliff
Most Democrats in Washington, D.C., dress themselves in the armor, buckler and shield of polls, which according to the mainstream news media, show that people would only blame Republicans if they do not agree to raise tax rates. Democrats are not satisfied with raising revenue through closing tax loopholes and other budgetary tax measures along with reforming the tax code and entitlement spending. The "donkey" insists on this singular triumphant trophy. This is prideful ego and arrogance, class warfare and retribution. I guess winning the election was not enough.
Republicans ought to call the bluff and leave the onus for responsible government on the new four-year term of President Obama, as well as the Democrats. They are the real leaders of the rush over the fiscal precipice.

Is there any special difference between "das letzte Mal" and "das vorige Mal " when they both mean "the last time"?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
They both mean the same: "the last time", but – like in English –
can also mean: the very last time of something. For example:
Duden lists both attributes, "vorige", and "letzte" as synonyms for something that recently happened.
However in modern German "letzte" is used far more often. The usage of "vorige" declines:
As there is no general difference in the meaning there may be variations in regional usage. "Vorige" may be considered slightly more distinguished.
My understanding is that "das Vorige Mal" means the PREVIOUS time. It could mean the "last" time in a sequence of earlier events.
Das Letzte Mal LITERALLY means the LAST time. If the "previous" time will actually be the "last" or "final" time, then the two are equivalent.
But suppose an event is supposed to happen five times, and the most recent one was the fourth. Then the FIFTH event would be das LETZTE mal, not Das "VORIGE" (or the fourth).
There is even a threat: The next time you do X will be the LAST time. (Meaning I'll kill, or incapacitate you if you do x.) Here, letzte seems more appropriate than vorige.

Oops, something didn't work.
My college had an elective course..."System Security"
Tought with linux machines....and pretty much we learned basic hacking techniques. Then the second half of the course was implementing what we learned to a box and try to keep hackers out of our machines. Very intersting to learn how a WHOIS and a HOST command can really screw up a machine....
I know quite a few people who have been hired recently by Microsoft from WWU (my current location of study) and I happen to know that the security courses are few and far between. Being a computer science student here at WWU has made me realize that this
is not the place I want to continue my education. The instructors don't seem interested in what they teach and the selection of courses is very focused on doing good math using a dated programming language.
I have to say that I have had one instructor who is very interested in security and writing quality code. Coincidentally he teaches only one class per quarter and runs a local software company during the day. I'd go as far as to say he's not even a "real" professor. So that reduces the number of excellent security instructors to nill at WWU.

Is there a way to repartition the internal 4GB of my htc sensation? Currently, only 1GB is available for use (/data) The rest is being allocated to /system, /cache, etc.
I don't know for sure, but think changing internal partition layout can only be done on special development devices with the security turned off (called s-off).
The problem of running out of space on the internal data partition has been solved by many custom ROMs that can be installed after using the official HTC unlock process, however.
These custom ROMs have various methods of supporting putting apps on the SD card (in a more seamless way than standard Android) or putting even more of the data partition storage requirements on to it (although this often requires formatting the SD card to the EXT file system and sometimes even multiple partitions).
Make sure you go through your app list in Settings first, moving anything you can to SD card, by the standard Android method. This is often enough and easier than installing a custom ROM with a2sd(+)/d2w support.
if you were to have a custom recovery installed onto your device, it may have options to partition the internal storage.
At least, the SGS2 CWM Recovery does.

Keyframe Properties: Transforms with incomplete options
I'm starting with Animator and I am following this tutorial:
However, transforms tab displays only the options "origin" and "opacity" and so I can not change the movement of the boat through the "rotate"
What is wrong?

It would be a bug?
Hello again
It seems that the problem only occurs when the support options to Android 2.x and Firefox are marked to create a new project ...
It would be a bug? I believe that these platforms support options that are hidden by the program ...
Some idea?
18 Mar 2013 3:59 AM #3
Hi pedropamn,
Transforms not being available when Android 2.x option is checked is not a bug.
When you check Android 2.x option when creating new animation, the animation options that are not supported in Android 2.x will not be available. One of these options are transforms - they are not behaving correctly under Android 2.x. Android 2.x supports only very limited set of CSS3 options.
For more detailed explanation see this thread: http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...x-css3-support
This is also described in the documentation: http://docs.sencha.com/animator/1-3/#!/guide/menus

Thank you for reply, i thought it was a bug... Now i understand...
Have a nice day

In what case is it justifiable for your own story to differentiate its plot from another, similar plot? For instance, I'm writing a story with a serial killer who whose motive sounds akin to the Jigsaw murder from the Saw franchise. I justify he is merely testing for people to work for him and the government's tyranny.
If you're aware that your work sounds a lot like someone else's, start changing yours until it's not so close. If you have to keep justifying "But it's not Saw!" then you're too close. Change a method, change a time frame, change a motive, change the number of instances.
One method of buying yourself a benefit of doubt from the reader, before you have the opportunity to show that you're not just a rip-off, is lampshading the similarity. (Warning! TV Tropes link!)
OTOH, the twist you're giving in the question description really seems rather minor. Testing people to work for him? Original Saw antagonist got his first follower through his "tests" so that's a very minor twist - and Saw II saw a protagonist who was a crooked cop... not very far from "government tyranny" to be an essential twist. Plus that gets awfully close to what V does to Evey in V for Vendetta, so - how far does your story fall from a crossover of the two?
I have not seen "Saw" so I can't comment on the details you refer to. But in general:
This is all a matter of degree. Unless you're exceptionally creative, it's likely that any story you write will fall into one of a pretty small number of common categories: romance, murder mystery, coming-of-age, time travel, etc.
There's a sense in which you could say that every romance story is "another Romeo & Juliet rip-off". There's a sense in which you could say that every murder mystery follows the same basic plot line: a murder is committed, the brilliant detective is called to investigate, there are some red herrings that lead him to suspect the wrong person, then he catches the real murderer, the end. Etc.
If you're worried that your story is just like somebody else's because they're both about a criminal trying to outwit a brilliant detective, and that's about the extent of the similarity, I wouldn't worry about it for a moment.
If you're worried that your story is just like somebody else's because the crime is almost identical, the criminals in both stories have very similar personalities, the crucial clue that leads to him being caught is pretty much the same thing, etc, then you have a problem.
You COULD go throw the details and start making changes to make your story different. If there were just one or two details that were two obviously the same, I'd do that. But if there are many points of similarity, and you really must admit that you got the whole idea for your story from reading/watching the other, then I think you need to go back and come up with SOME very fundamental idea that makes yours different. Make it an idea that has implications throughout the story. Not just, "Well I'll set mine in Los Angeles instead of New York and so all the street names will be different." But, "While his villain works hard to conceal his crime from the police, I'll make my villain flaunt his crime before the police and dare them to catch him".
Frankly, I think if you start out saying, "I really liked such-and-such story, I'd like to write one just like it", you're going about it wrong. You should be trying to be original, not a clone. It's one thing to say to find that as you develop your story, it's getting too much like some other story you know, and you need to make some changes so it doesn't sound like a clone. It's quite another to deliberately set out to make a clone and look for the minimum set of differences to throw people off.
(If you're writing a script for a TV show or movie, disregard the above paragraph. I understand that in Hollywood, the goal is to pick some popular TV show or movie and copy it, on the reasoning that if the original was popular, your clone should be popular too. Hollywood has this idea -- maybe it works for them, it seems pretty dumb to me -- that what makes a story popular is not creativity, originality, and smart writing, but rather a collection of surface plot elements. Like I read that after the Harry Potter movies were successful, some Hollywood exec concluded that this meant that Americans wanted to see movies "about British school children" and so began a couple of such projects. I remember when "Star Wars" proved popular, we quickly saw a rash of unoriginal movies about wars in space. Etc.)
I guess sometimes it's about writing, not the idea... And sometimes you just get inspired by some other thing. The line between the two is really thin.
For example, Walking Dead has a lot of similarities with Romero's movies, yet it's completely different not because of the idea but because what happens with the characters and the motivations.
It's just like somebody said in a previous reply, if you need to justify, you are doing it wrong.
Don't bother with the macro idea being similar because this happens all the time. Just focus on what makes the book really different and unique than your book will become an unique piece of work.
It sounds like you need to wait a while before writing this. If all you can think of is something you've already seen, you're not spending enough time taking in ideas. In this case, I'd actually suggest you spend several hours on TVTropes, where you'll find better ideas than the ones you're getting, and decent analyses of those ideas.
Secondly, quit thinking of your work in relation to other people's work. If it's too similar to other plotlines, that needs to be changed, but after you've changed it, you need to get Saw out of your head. If you've changed things enough, you won't have to focus on proving you aren't a ripoff, and if you continue to focus on that, you'll end up using all of the ideas from Saw anyway.
If you change things, read it through, and still can't help thinking of Saw, maybe you should write something else for a while and come back to it later.
All the aforementioned answers are really good, but you should keep in mind that no matter what you write it is going to be similar to SOMETHING out there. Every idea, no matter how original you think it is (and I am speaking from experience) will have been done in some form before. It is just important that you realize no one can tell the story quite like YOU can, and that is what makes it unique to you.
Look up your plot. If you find something that exactly matches it, change it without changing the general idea of the plot.
You can't copyright an idea, only the expression of one. If your story is a lot like someone else's, then don't rewrite that other person's story.
That said, there will naturally be similarities between two stories if they play on same field. Serial killer stories are an excellent example. There are countless crime novels (not to mention movies and TV programs) about serial killers (I'm writing one myself), and certain elements are obvious and expected (e.g. a killer, a series of murders).
The trick is not to let your story about a serial killer get too close to someone else's. Think of your story as a circle. The other person's story is also a circle. Both stories together form a Venn diagram. The intersection (that part in the middle where the circles overlap) contains all the usual obvious and expected stuff (killer, series of murders). There may be a few more similarities in there, too, making the intersection a little bigger (maybe both stories are set in New York, both have male protagonists, both are set in winter).
Too many similarities, and that intersection is going to start getting too big. Depending on how much your story is like the other, your readers will go from "It's a lot like..." to "It's a copy of...", until someone says the P word. Plagiarism.
Keep your intersection as tight as you can. That's my suggestion.
If you can see the similarities, then you must expect your readers will do so too. Do you want them to say

Malcolm S. Mason '34 LL.B. was an expert in the field of federal grants law who brought a wealth of knowledge on grants and subsidies to several federal agencies throughout his career. He passed away on November 1, 2011, at the age of 101.
Born in the Bronx in June of 1910, Mason spent the majority of his career working in Washington, D.C. In 1934, he became an attorney for the newly created Agricultural Adjustment Administration, a New Deal agency that oversaw the distribution of subsidies to farmers during the Great Depression. Four years later, Mason took on the role of litigation supervisor for the National Labor Relations Board, and he was later named general counsel for the Office of Alien Property, an agency tasked with managing property seized from the Axis powers during and after World War II.
Following a brief stint in private practice in New York City, Mason returned to the nation's capital as associate general counsel for the Office of Economic Opportunity. Mason later worked for the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, where he oversaw the department's renewal of federal grants as chairman of the Grant Appeals Board. In honor of his career, Mason received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Federal Bar Association Grants Committee in 2005.
Mason co-wrote Essentials of Grant Law Practice, an American Law Institute and American Bar Association publication focusing on the many legal and administrative procedures involved in obtaining subsides and grants-in-aid. He published his memoirs in a series titled From the Other Side of the Water.
Mason is survived by his daughter Jan and her husband, Ed Freundschuh; his son, Mike; and his granddaughters, Sharan Freundschuh Atak and Amber Freundschuh.

Perfect Cape Sunsets – A Cape Town Tourism Photo Essay
Sunsets in Cape Town are always amazing to witness. On this particular night as I was driving home from work, I could already see that it was going to be a special sunset as the clouds were painted across the skies in beautiful formations with some terrific colours.
My wife and I headed to the beach in Blaauwberg (luckily just a 10 minute drive) where we could witness the full blown sunset in all its glory. As soon as the sun disappeared on the horizon behind the sea, the quality of light and colours that came out was just breathtaking.
Even the moon came out to look at the sunset.
These sunsets are just one of the many fantastic elements that make Cape Town so special.
Perfect Cape sunset – Lion's Head
Perfect Cape sunset – rocks
Perfect Cape sunset – strolling moon
Perfect Cape sunset – mystic rock

text: Hi folks and happy Halloween. I am back again today with another drawing tutorial that was requested by a member from DragoArt. I will be showing you how to draw Pokemon character Umbreon. Umbreon is a really cool looking character from the Pokemon gaming franchise. It is all black in color with long rabbit like ears. To me Umbreon looks a lot like an anime nine tailed fox. One of the cool things about this Pokemon is the yellow strips that it has on it's ears, and tail. There are a few yellow circle rings on the thighs, front leg elbow, and a ring shape in the middle of Umbreon forehead. I really did have a fun time drawing this Pokemon because it was fun and it reminds me of Halloween because of the black and yellow colors. Because Umbreon has Halloween colors, I decided that a purple colored background would be the perfect fit for this tutorial on "how to draw Umbreon from Pokemon step by step". The lesson itself is pretty simple and I am confident that you will have little difficulty with this online drawing lesson. I will be back momentously with more drawing fun. For now just enjoy this tutorial that teaches you how to draw a Pokemon step by step. I think you will find that this was a fun character to draw as well. Peace out people and happy Halloween, and drawing.

How do open source projects maintain quality? What keeps the projects from people with relatively little programming experience checking in poor quality codes?
Sign up

Usually, not everyone have the rights to change the source code. Most often there is only a small group of trusted developers that have rights to change the source code. If someone else wants to make changes, they can submit patches, but these are checked and added by the developers with commit access.
Some projects allow other developers to join the trusted group, if they submit several patches of sufficient quality.
How do closed source projects maintain quality? What keeps the projects from people with relatively little programming experience checking in poor quality codes?
The same way:
But really the answer is: most don't. In both cases, open and closed source. After all, programming is subject to the Pareto Principle and Sturgeon's Revelation ("Ninety percent of everything is crud") just like everything else.
In Linux, for example, in almost 100% of all cases where a company releases a previously closed source driver as open source, that driver needs a considerable amount of work before it can be merged into the kernel tree, simply because its quality is so bad. In some cases, it is so bad that the code is basically unsalvageable and has to be rewritten from scratch.
So, in Linux, the way that quality gets maintained is that low quality contributions get rejected, but there is a mentoring process helping people to write better quality code.
That really depends on the size of the developer base, and what back yard you happen to be playing in.
How either of those are determined mostly depends on the skills of the founding developer(s).
First, realize that writing code and pushing it into the wild for the whole world to critique and review takes a special kind of person. That person might not be very confident in their abilities, but they are willing to publish their code anyway. Someone else might be extremely confident. Both people have the same goals:
There may be underlying financial reasons, but the above tends to be true.
There may be other motivations in the mix. I know people who spend an enormous amount of time re-writing proprietary applications under an OSI approved license (usually the 3 clause BSD or GPL). I know other people who can't stand GPL2+ libraries and work to re-write them in order to release them under a less restrictive license.
In any event, you have lots of people writing and publishing code for various reasons.
In my experience, (really) bad code gets committed due to the following reasons:
Lets break these down a bit:
On the first point, the original author probably hoped to learn something in the process of releasing their work. That's not in any way bad, but if you have a small development community it can become toxic. Think about it, you have a thick enough skin to release your stuff, you get a patch that blows your mind, is your skin now thick enough to admit that you have no idea what the patch actually does? That happens quite a bit. If you have more eyeballs watching things, it helps. So let's say the first root of toxic changes is ego.
Additionally, you might just get tired of fighting an otherwise great contributor on a single point and just say 'screw it', even if you understand the patches.
On the second point, stuff that is written to fill an idealistic void (at least early on) is of lesser quality than something written to fill a technical void, at least in my experience. For the most part, the GNU project is an exception to this rule, they have been producing software that runs predictably and consistently on a variety of architectures for years.
You won't see a lot of
Finally, you get to the point that a project has really taken off. The original author is not only skilled enough, but trusts their skills enough to ward off toxic patches. The project grows, the code base grows and more and more trusted lieutenants are brought on to help manage contributions. The original author has final say, if they want it, but trusts their inner circle to effectively look after the parts that they maintain.
People do odd things. I can't count the number of nervous breakdowns that I've witnessed on public mailing lists on both hands. People get burned out, develop drinking problems, sometimes drug problems or all out vanish. Their spouses leave them, their homes burn down, feces occurs. However, by this time, you should have enough critical eyes on stuff to catch that.
This brings us to the third (at least in my experience) reason why toxic code gets put out into the wild - a lack of community oversight. This happens mostly in projects where users outnumber actual contributors by 100:1 or more. You have plenty of eye balls, but none of them know what they're looking at.
Not listed, but finally, the original developer may have burned out years ago. When / if that happens, a project loses passion.
Beyond that, other things happen. Companies get bought (we're seeing the aftermath of that now with OpenOffice / OpenSolaris).
Well run open source projects use the same tool sets and patterns of behaviour that good closed source projects do. The difference is that in the open source model you can have many more eyes on the design and the code.
So for the two open source projects I'm heavily involved with, we:
See http://www.producingoss.com for a guide on how to run a successful open source project
Some don't.
Those that work have a single person (or if very large a group with well defined responsibilities) who vet everything and only let what meets their standards into the official codebase. (Private branches = private problems).
If you have an application with more than one (experience) developer, bad code won't go into the main branch, since you won't get write access if you don't prove you meet their standards.
Most projects have version control systems, where the code development goes in branches. New features are accepted to unstable branches, or even in a branch-per-feature or branch-per-fix manner. When a new branch is tested and it's clear that the code is of good quality, it can be merged into the main branch, or into beta-testing branch, from where, after fixes if necessary, it goes into or becomes itself the production branch.
Read about Mercurial http://hginit.com/ and Git http://progit.org/book/ version control systems.

The Dance of Anger (Paperback)
"Anger is a signal and one worth listening to," writes Dr. Harriet Lerner, in her renowned classic that has transformed the lives of millions of readers.While anger deserves our attention and respect, women still learn to silence our anger, to deny it entirely, or to vent it in a way that leaves us feeling helpless and powerless. In this engaging and eminently wise book, Dr. Lerner teaches women to identify the true sources of our anger and to use anger as a powerful vehicle for creating lasting change.
About the Author
