Martin Fenwick Should be Gruntled Right Now
Last week I had the privilege of attending a training program run by Martin Fenwick, author of The Change Factor: Insights For Leaders of Change. As a subscriber of my blogs including SoLoMo Consulting and The Future Diaries, you will know that change has been a major motivating factor in my life as a futurist, right back to the promise made to me and my contemporaries, that my problem in the future would be what to do with my spare time, as automation took care of the majority of our human workloads.
I am passionate about change and the need for traditional businesses to embrace and create change, less it be foisted on them by a competing business model. Some examples of my thoughts on the book industry that you may have previously read are here.
Anyway, I am also passionate about languages and particularly the English language, whether it is new TXT language which can have me ROFLMAO, grokking people or in this case we were wondering if there was a word gruntled, being the opposite of dis-gruntled. One of my colleagues checked on her iPhone and sure enough, there is such a word and it is in all the dictionaries.
I was interested to read on Merriam-Webster that it was first known to be used in 1926. I thought it would have gone back way farther. Never mind. The conversation went on to influence and we thought it would be interesting if we could get other people using it. I, typically suggested that I would see if I could spread it's use with a #hashtag, which I have duly started doing. So if you look for #gruntled it is likely to stem back to a tweet or a Facebook post from me, which was motivated by the training session with Martin Fenwick.
Why bother? Why do people do flash-mobs or climb mountains? Because it can be fun and interesting. One of the things that really interests me and that I frequently research is fads and trends. How do they start? How are people influenced? What makes some things work and others not? How can you get people to do things that are good for the community (such as pay attention to recommendations about real time traffic and helping avoid congestion).
So here's your task. Leave a comment or post a tweet with the hashtag #gruntled. RT or share this post and lets see if we can't get people using the word. It could be a great conversation starter for you. I'm feeling gruntled today, how about you? If you think it's a cool idea, tell him so on Twitter. Let him know you're pretty gruntled about it.
Who Can You Trust? Who Do You Trust (Read Time 1:41)
Who do you trust? Who can you trust? With happenings in Auckland, New Zealand mayoral politics recently, the NSA spying, and other revelations, we find ourselves in interesting times. With the invasive growth of social media we live in a world of increasing transparency. Corporates and Governments which have thrived on sharing only what they think people need to know are losing that battle.
I've been reading article in The Futurist by Rolf Jensen, Chief Imagination Officer (I like that title!) of Dream Company in Denmark who compares today's society to the first Renaissance. Gutenberg's Press accelerated the spread of new ideas, and the golden age sprung out of the middle ages where much of the world was controlled by a religious hierarchy.
We have a similar break-up to political hierarchy's now, particularly in but not limited to the Middle East and Europe, and like the Gutenberg Press, Social Media is now making important information available to the masses, most significantly in real time. This means that it isn't possible for governments and corporations to use smoke and mirrors quite so much. With trending information, we can see right past the kaleidoscopic obfuscation to what is really going on.
Here are some interesting statistics that Rolf shared in his article in The Futurist:
- From Pew Research: In the 1960's 75% of the US public trusted their Government. In 2010 the result was 25%!
- The European barometer polled UK voters in 2005 and found a trust level of only 34%. In 2012 that was down to 21%.
- CEO's of large corporations are trusted by 45% of the US population (almost double the number that trust their politicians, that's positive isn't it?)
- Gallop says that teachers are trusted by 84%. That's great news isn't it. What a shame they get one of the smallest parts of the budget!
Back to social media though, what we are doing is finding groups of people that we do trust and building a new society. We're sharing knowledge and information in countless ways that have immediacy.
As an example, in my new eBook, Buying a House – Using Real Estate Apps, Maps and Location Based Services, I speak a lot about using social media to research where to live. I cover questions like where to find people who are like you, or people who can tell you about a suburb or area, who have nothing to gain by sharing that information. Who can you trust to give you honest information?
I feel very grateful to live in such exciting times where the power is gong back to the people. Of course 'the people' do have to take the power and whilst everyone subsequently had an opinion on Mayor Len Brown's indiscretions, only 33% turned up to vote in the Auckland local Government elections. I do like the saying 'You get the Government you deserve'.
So who do you trust? Who do you go to for advice? How are you going to use the information now available to you, to help build the world you want for yourself and your children? How will you contribute?
Comments welcomed.
Michael Q Todd is a Social Media Expert
The world is full of self proclaimed social media experts, many of them legends in their own minds. Every once in a while you come across someone who not only really does understand how it all works, but one that practices what they preach.
One such person is Michael Q Todd. I had the pleasure last week of meeting him in person in Auckland and attending one of his seminars which was a pre-launch of his upcoming book The 7 Pillars of Your Online Success. Michael is an ex-pat Kiwi who lives in Japan with his lovely wife Dr Yoriko Todd.
The mix of attendees ranged from total beginners to very experienced people including Sean Mitchell of Techday, Jason Kemp of Dialog Ventures, Mark Thomas of 2Review and Roger Bennett, one of New Zealand's serial networkers and connectors, all people who are very passionate about what they do. You have to be, to go to a 3 hour seminar on a weekday evening. There was a quality of debate, illustrating that one size doesn't fit all and Michael managed the proceedings like the pro that he is.
I'm not going to tell you about everything he covered, it was an introduction to the new book and one that I am very much looking to receive an advanced copy on. I've read a couple of pre-released chapters and they are winners. You may be very good with one application or aspects of an application, but be missing out on others. Another is that this is a changing environment. Social media sites such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are constantly adding and modifying features, you need to keep abreast of these. New services like Vine, Empire Ave (one of my current favorites, you'll find my account here) and Posse are popping up all the time. Some of these will be valuable to you. Never assume you are up to date, because you will be wrong. If you don't keep up to date, you could end up like this moth (not for the squeemish) I captured on my second Vine attempt, being devoured by a praying mantis.
This is one of the reasons I really like
Following are a 3 key takeouts for me:
1. It's about selling. Anything you do is social media has to have a purpose, an end game. It is usually to sell something. It could be the products or services you provide to customers, it could be selling your consultancy, or perhaps promoting your sporting activity, music or hobbies. Start with the end game in mind.
2. Three things that brand you. People get confused when you tell them you do lots of different things. Define the 3 most important things, based on (1) above. Give this some serious thought. If you have too much going on, narrow your focus or you will confuse people and won't sell much of anything. For me, I am
- an entrepreneur, late founding member of Imersia, involved in location based services and Augmented Reality
- a Futurist consultant, blogger and public speaker, owner of SoLoMo Consulting
- a Songwriter, although I haven't been able to dedicate a lot of time to that lately
3. Plug the gaps. One for me is Lists. I used to have a very successful newsletter many years ago which I sold as part of my consultancy and training school, the New Zealand Smartphone and PDA Academy. It had a large following and I really enjoyed the feedback from readers. Lately I thought that social media had replaced email newsletters, but now realize that they add another dimension. What are your gaps?
Once in a rare while you meet someone who will make a profound and positive difference in your life if you let them. I have had a few of those over my years and I believe that Michael Q Todd is going to be one of those. Whatever business you are in, or want to be in, whatever role you currently play in life, you are a brand and Michael can help teach you how to focus and market that brand and to reach the results you desire. You can find out more about him on his website.
I'll leave the last word to Michael from one of his many YouTube Videos
Google Glasses Separation Syndrome
How would you feel tomorrow if you lost access to your mobile, the Internet, TV and other technologies that you take for granted. How would you feel?
Google Glasses and dozens of other brands of Augmented Reality goggles hit the road running for Christmas 2013 and over the next couple of years AR applications went from Wow to business as usual. Today people look at you sideways in many cities if you aren't wearing glasses. But there has been a downside. People can't bear to be without them.
Not that long ago people had separation anxiety when they didn't have their mobile with them, then their smartphone. Now its their AR glasses. Hospitals and A&R clinics are reporting many people are presenting with a feeling of vertigo with some patients reporting in an almost psychotic state, saying they feel they have been detached from the real world.
Others are describing the real world without AR glasses as flat, 2 dimensional, when they don't have access to features they take for granted such as information about locations, deals, games and access to their friends…

Census 2013 So What Did You Think?
Our household did it online and I have to say it was a smooth and easy process. The questions we didn't have to answer were grayed out and we were all done and dusted in no time. Hopefully this means that finally we can hold referendums and vote online in future.
However, to me it was a major missed opportunity to learn more about who Kiwis are, what they do and where. This seemed to be to be simply a modern version of the feudal system where nobility tried to establish how much tax they could claim from their citizens. I love the Census system, always used to use copies of the books the Statistics Department used to put out and have been a keen user of the tables and tool builders on the website over more recent years. This Big Data has a huge impact on where to do business, where to build shops and factories, schools etc and the potential to not require costly double ups of data collection as will remain necessary for many Government organisations.
Here are a few thoughts from me of things that I would have liked to know and would have been easy to include and a few comments on what was included:
Ethnicity. For a country that is so multi-ethnic there were only 8 ethnicities offered and one of them was New Zealand European. That effectively makes it a political question and one that does not allow qualitative or quantitative research. As anyone who has studied statistics knows, most European Caucasians will select the first option, leaving us with skewed data. How about culture. I know people who will register as Chinese because they look like their ancestors, but were born and raised in New Zealand and in most things they do other than appearance are indistinguishable from any other NZ born person. On the other hand there are people who totally live the culture of their family and do not integrate much with our everyday society.
The question on what languages you can have a conversation in, was easy for people who really don't speak English, to say they do. This to me is important because we know there are now large numbers of people who will struggle to answer a question like "where is the nearest dairy?" in English.
What is your religion? This to me is very old school. You either belong to a sect or you have no religion. What if you are agnostic, spiritual but don't belong to a particular church? This would effectively assume that if you have no religion, you do not believe in a higher spirit, God if you will.
I would have liked to know what people's jobs are. As a futurist, I'm aware that many of today's roles or job titles didn't exist 20 years ago and it would be very interesting to be able to identify shifts in trends in employment. Yes, this information is available to IRD, but I want to know these answers and you could argue the same about the table which asks about personal annual income.
The employment questions also didn't support all options. For example, I am a founder in a couple of start-ups. I am not an employee and I do not draw any money from the companies. I work very long hours in them. But I couldn't answer the how many hours do you work in your job, because I'm not employed by the companies. These are not family businesses or family farms, although we do have a project creating virtual pets. Because I don't have a 'job' all the options below these questions were grayed out. I was left with the questions of did I apply for a job and if so, how. BTW I also do not get any sort of benefit from the Government.
The only questions on health focused on disabilities that stop you from earning money or require a benefit. Wouldn't it have been interesting to get more information on conditions such as asthma, diabetes, ADHD, Autism, Cancer etc. where people continue to work or study. Not so much from a single point in time but from a trend perspective. Tie this into geospatial mesh blocks and area units and some very interesting information might have emerged. What about depression and mental health? If we were able to see statistics based on location, what discoveries might that lead to? Perhaps ones that Government doesn't want to reveal?
They asked how many cars were available to the household, not how old they were, how often they were used, how big the engines were, whether they were NZ new? Yes, again I know this information is collected by other Government agencies, but it is not made available to the public and business in the same way.
Question 32 would have appealed to teachers. In the last 7 days did you work for pay, profit or income for an hour or more. Novopay anyone? How many people worked but haven't been paid? Many have waited much more than a week, I've heard of people who still have pay overdue for months! (No I am not a teacher).
What else would I like to know?
- Do you have a land-line (that has dial tone)? Because in the event of power outages like earthquakes, they often still work.
- Do you have a broadband connection? VOIP?
- How many computers do you have at home that can access the internet?
- How many mobiles do you have in the household that are connected? How many of those are Smartphones?
- How many hours a week do you spend: Playing Sport or other outdoor activities? In club or organised activities? Watching TV? Playing computer games? On social media?
- Do you BYOD to work and use it for work purposes?
- How often do you buy fast food or eat out?
- What about savings? What do people do with their money? Are they part of a super scheme like Kiwi Saver? Do they buy stocks (Mighty River Power would like to know)? What was the last big purchase in the last 12 months?
- How about leisure, do they go away for a holiday? In NZ or overseas? Can they afford one at all? How long for?
There are many more questions that could have been asked like, how easy was it to complete this online? Would you be happy to vote in the next elections online?
So in summing up, its great to finally have a Census again and I'm looking forward to finding out what has changed in New Zealand, particularly as a result of the Canterbury earthquakes, but also information like how many NZ born people have left the country permanently, what is the make up of this country today compared to the last Census.
Congratulations on what appeared to be a smooth online operation, but what a missed opportunity to get some more learning. I think there has been so much focus on finally getting the job done, that there was insufficient focus on getting some highly important and valuable new data. The world has changed so much in 5 years. It appears like Novopay, that not much else has when it comes to taking advantage of 21st Century technology.

Don't go on a Road Trip without Foursquare
I've been writing a series of blogs about my recent road trip in the USA and the applications that helped and didn't help me along the way. The last couple of blogs were about TripAdvisor which was a big help when it came to accommodation, but not great for much else.
I've been a big fan of Foursquare for a long time. You'll find it mentioned in many of my blogs. One of the common threads is that people all over the world are 'checking-in' using the GPS on their mobile phones to all sorts of businesses, leaving tips and comments. There are recommendations of favourite food, or great service through to comments about lack of hygiene in the bathrooms.
The really frustrating thing is that the vast majority of businesses that get a mention on Foursquare have no idea what it is, or that they are involved. Foursquare is of course well-known by people in marketing roles, especially those involved in social media. Most of my friends in the information and communication technology industries use it. I've written a number of blogs trying to promote it to businesses in the hospitality and tourism industries because it is free and because tourists and travelers are using it. I suspect it mostly falls on deaf ears.
Many of the hotels I stayed at on my trip were on the outskirts of towns and somehow we managed to pretty much always arrive around 5-6PM tired and hungry. Where to find somewhere good to eat? Initially we went for walks or drives, but we really just wanted to relax. I quickly found that Foursquare was the best way to not only find out what was nearby, but also to find what places people recommend, or don't.
You can search from a range of items based on proximity including Specials, Food, Coffee, Sights, Arts, Trending and more. You don't just have the option of searching in proximity to where you are, but effectively you can pan the map for the bigger picture, or search by place-name for your next destination.
Using this we found some great restaurants and bars and also managed to confirm the location of an alligator hatchery in Louisiana that the navigation unit placed about a mile wrong in the middle of nowhere, which was pretty disconcerting when we were driving on the wrong side of the road (for us) of some very narrow country roads.
I do have to say that I only found a few specials using Foursquare, which reinforced my experience that hundreds of thousands of businesses are missing out on opportunities to pro-actively win more business.
I also kicked myself after spending 45 minutes waiting for a quesadilla at The Iron Kettle restaurant in Lynchburg, because if I had used Foursquare I would have read a comment left by a previous visitor saying: "Avoid. Slow service. You could walk to New York and get a three course meal in the time it takes for a simple burger here." They were right too. To her credit, the waitress refused to charge us for our lunch, much to the disgust of the manageress.
That brings me to another very cool feature of Foursquare and that is the 'History' function. If you log on to your Foursquare account and select history, you will find a chronological record of every location you checked into including the time, date and any photos or comments you made at the time. I had originally planned to start a travel diary using My Vacation on my iPad. I have to say that lasted about 3 days. We were just so busy doing and planning that we just didn't feel like keeping a diary. Turns out we didn't need to. That alone is a great reason to use Foursquare next time you are going on a trip. Check in, take photos, make comments and you have your travel diary.
Pay it forward and leave tips, good and bad about the locations you check in to so that others can benefit from your experience and learn from mine as well, that even if it is right there in front of you and looks OK, check for tips and comments other people have left. As I've said in previous blogs about TripAdvisor, if one person leaves a bad comment, take it with a big grain of salt, but when there are several, where there's smoke, there could well be fire.
I love Foursquare and feel it is perhaps seen by many, such as those who still mock twitter, saying "I don't care if you had a coffee!" as a waste of time. I say that it is a wonderful marketing tool, a great site and app for exploring new places that you may not otherwise have found and definitely ranks as my favourite global Points of Interest database.
Give it a go, whether you are travelling on holiday or just looking to try a new place to eat, have a coffee or be entertained. If you find it useful, share your own tips and comments, pay it forward.
I also welcome comments on my blog. What do you like or not like about Foursquare. What have I missed? There is of course much more including game mechanics, leaving comments on other people's check-ins, mayorships, badges, friends and lists and the ability to add new locations on the fly and share them with the rest of the world. There are also many 3rd party apps usng the Foursquare API's. What are your favourite features?

AP Chemistry

I have the following marathon problem but am unsure where to start:
A Sample consisting of 22.7g of nongaseous, unstable compound X is placed inside a metal cylinder with a radius of 8.00cm, and a piston is carefully placed on the surface of the compound so that, for all practical purposes, the distance between the bottom of the cylinder and the piston is zero. (A hole in the piston allows trapped air to escape as the piston is placed on the compound; then this hole is plugged so that nothing inside the cylinder can escape.) The piston-and-cylinder apparatus is carefully placed in 10.00 kg of water at 25.00oC. The barometric pressure is 778 torr.
When the compound spontaneously decomposes, the piston moves up, the temperature of the water reaches a maximum of 29.52oC, and then it gradually decreases as the water loses heat to the surrounding air. The distance between the piston and the bottom of the cylinder, at the maximum temperature, is 59.8 cm. Chemical analysis shows that the cylinder contains 0.300 mol carbon dioxide, 0.250 mol liquid water, 0.025 mol oxygen gas, and an undetermined amount of gaseous element A.
It is known that the enthalpy change for the decomposition of X, according to the reaction described above, is -1893 kJ/mol X. The standard enthalpies of formation for gaseous carbon dioxide and liquid water are
-393.5 kJ/mol and -286 kJ/mol, respectively. The heat capacity for water is 4.184 J/oC · g. The conversion factor between L · atm and J can be determined from the two values for the gas constant R, namely, 0.08206 L · atm/mol · K and 8.3145 J/mol · K. The vapor pressure of water at 29.5 oC is 31 torr. Assume that the heat capacity of the piston–and–cylinder apparatus is negligible and that the piston has negligible mass.
Given the preceding information, determine
A. The formula for X
B. The pressure volume work (in kJ) for the decomposition of the 22.7-g sample of X
C. The molar change in internal energy for the decomposition of X and the approximate standard enthalpy of formation for X.
What's the question. What's the rest of the problem?

sxystfParticipantOctober 17, 2016 at 4:38 pm #114382
I am an 18 first year university student and had been struggling with finding a girlfriend for the past 4 years. My best mate from high school was a popular guy and would always date the most popular and best looking girls at school. My female friends at school were also very hot and popular. I believe this had influenced me negatively as I only desire such kind of girls as a girlfriend and rejected a few girls because they were not like them and I wanted such kind of girlfriend in order to get attention and respect from my peers. I have in the past been willing to tolerate being single if I believed that I would get such girlfriend. I also feel like I'm "owed" such girl because of him and never liked and even considered other, available girls.
That friend now lives in another city but still affected by that influence that started when I was 14. This negative and unhealthy attitude has caused negative experiences with girls and general negative attitude to dating.

text: The Hammer Lurker is an enemy from Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy VII. It has navy blue skin and wears protective steel armor in some places, as well as a helmet. Despite being encountered fairly early on, it is a rather powerful enemy. It is about the same size as your average "big Lurker" variety but it has the advantage of a mighty hammer. It swings this hammer down to deal major damage, and can also sweep it around from the size. Let it take a swing at you, then attack it while it tries to retract its weapon for another attack. It takes more hits than other enemies to defeat, but you can also use it to clear out groups of small enemies or other impassable obstacles.

Can technology help ease California's drought crisis? Water stress hitting California and other states is prompting venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to see opportunity in an underpriced commodity that is sold in fragmented and heavily regulated markets. There are big information gaps about where our water goes and when, and our state's parched rivers and depleted reservoirs are causing people to pay more attention to usage. The agricultural sector is bracing for a drought on par with the epic one in 1977. Will that drive more investment into water innovation? What lessons can be learned from recent efforts to get electricity suppliers to offer consumers more information about usage patterns? Join this conversation about water technology in the era of weird weather.

Melbourne Victory are considering using kid gloves for playmaker Tom Rogic by starting the 21-year-old on the bench in his debut for the A-League club in Sunday's clash with Sydney FC.
Rogic, on loan from Scottish club Celtic, is lacking match conditioning but has been telling Victory coach Kevin Muscat he's ready to go.
However Muscat said on Friday he remained cautious.
"He's a glass half-full person. He's really positive," Muscat told reporters.
"We have to monitor him and be responsible rather than just assume you can throw him in and ask him to play for 90 minutes, considering we know his background and training loads over the past two or three months."
The ex-Central Coast Mariner withdrew from a Socceroos' squad to face France and Canada in October 2013 because of a groin problem, but Muscat says Rogic is fine.
"He's in very good health. He's trained regularly for the last six-to-eight weeks without interruption," Muscat said.
"But playing in games is a little bit different.
"We'll take all that into consideration ... whether he starts or he comes off the bench on Sunday.
"He's a very talented footballer. He certainly adds something to the squad.
"We've got to be mindful as well he hasn't played too much football (lately) so we've got respect his body."
Fourth-placed Victory host eighth-placed Sydney FC at Etihad Stadium.
Muscat said last week's 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Wellington Phoenix didn't sit well with him, but the club simply had to move on.
Victory's squad for Sunday includes Connor Pain, Nick Ansell, Scott Galloway and Jason Geria, all returning from international duty.
Two-time former champions Victory have been shaded in the publicity stakes this week by Melbourne Heart, who've been bought by a consortium headed by Manchester City.
Muscat says the deal is great for the league and can only boost Melbourne derbies.
"That club's certainly going to change. They'll build up bigger," Muscat said.
"From our perspective we'll just carry on and maintain our football club steadily and not worry too much about what's happening across the road.
"It's not certainly our intention to stand still.
"I've no doubt we're in a healthy position."
The Victory announced this week they had signed Brisbane Roar striker and A-League championship winner Besart Berisha on a two-season deal from 2014-15.

Apple has released its fifth Mac OS X security update of 2007 to patch a number of potential vulnerabilities. Security Update 2007-005 makes changes to CoreGraphics, iChat, VPN, BIND, crontabs, PPP, and other components, in most cases correcting problems that require either local user access or access to the Mac via a local network. However, several fixes are more important. An update to BIND prevents a possible remote denial of service attack (but because it reportedly overwrites the BIND launchd plist file, it may both turn BIND off and cause other changes to be lost, a potential problem for Mac OS X Server machines), a new version of fetchmail prevents possible disclosure of passwords, and a fix for CoreGraphics in Mac OS X 10.4 provides additional verification of PDF files to avoid possible crashes when opening maliciously crafted PDFs. The update is available via Software Update or for download in four varieties: for Mac OS X 10.4.9 as Universal (29.2 MB) and PowerPC (15.7 MB) installers; and for Mac OS X 10.3.9 Client (42.5 MB) and Server (56 MB) systems.

When I was asked last week why the maple trees around Baldwin City are prettier than other maples in the area, I knew the answer but found the phenomenon difficult to explain. Similar species of trees often resemble each other within geographic regions.
Before I go any further, let us talk about tree biology. There are two ways new trees originate: vegetative propagation and seeds. Most of the trees available for sale today are products of vegetative propagation: cuttings, buddings or tissue culture from one parent. Every Red Sunset Maple is exactly like the original. "Parent" trees are selected for specific traits like fall color, size, shape and drought tolerance. When you purchase a vegetatively propagated tree, you know exactly what you are getting.
Seed-produced trees, in contrast, come from two parents and display genetic diversity. Think of trees in the same manner as families. Each child will display characteristics of both parents but will not be identical to either. To make it more complicated, sugar maples produce male and female flowers on the same tree, but each seedling produced is still unique because of the cross between the male and female.
As seeds are produced and new trees grow, it only makes sense that the new seedlings will resemble their parents. Over decades, one beautiful sugar maple can produce hundreds of children that exhibit the same beautiful color and shape. As the seeds blow in the wind and take root, the area grows larger.
I have been told that the sugar maples around Baldwin City originated from seedlings transplanted from New England. If this is true, we can expect those maples to color in the same brilliance as their parents in the Northeast.
There are other factors that affect fall color in sugar maples. The display of reds and yellows occurs when trees stop producing chlorophyll as a response to decreasing periods of sunlight (shorter days). Temperature and cloud cover influence the brilliance of the color and the length of the fall color season.
Fall color is not the only tree characteristic influenced by provenance. The next time you travel outside city limits, look at the trees growing at the edges of fields and pastures. I often see groves of oaks whose branches appear to be gnarled in the same direction. A former instructor of mine used to speak about what he called "twin trees." A tree growing in the middle of a field will often have a twin within a few hundred yards. The twin tree is most likely a sibling or child of the tree you first observed.
Whether or not the sugar maples in southern Douglas County are more beautiful than the rest of the maples in Kansas is up to the observer, but we cannot deny that the maples are, for the most part, similar to each other. They are their own family.

- ""Flood?" Is that supposed to be a joke? On account of the length of my pants?"
- ―Adrien Flood.
Adrien Flood was an Irishman that, for a short while, grew up at an orphanage in Cork, where he had been left when he was an infant. At the age of eight, Adrien escaped and stowed away on a ship bound for the West Indies, which was soon attacked by Kumi Berko's pirates. Recruited into Kumi's crew, Adrien earned his place as a deckhand and later a spy, using his nimbleness and small size to get into hard-to-reach places, allowing him to procure valuable information.
As Adrien grew older, a more obnoxious personality began to emerge. Sarcastic and impertinent, he started to display a sadistic streak and was put to work as a torturer and a disciplinarian.
In 2013, his genetic memories were used as an Animi Avatar by the entertainment branch of the Templar company Abstergo Industries, to influence the general public via the Animus game console, under the title of the Cutthroat.
- Adrien is a French variant of the name Hadrian, from Hadrianus, Latin for "from Hadria".
- Adrien apparently got his last name from Kumi, who liked to make fun of Adrien's pants.

I'm a little confused about this cord clamping thing. I know it's great for a singleton, but what about monochorinic twins? Everyone says they clamp the first baby's cord quickly to reduce the risk of acute TTTS, but wouldn't that make the extra blood go to Baby B? So wouldn't waiting to clamp be safer, especially in that situation...I don't know how acute ttts happens at birth really.

I just got onto SMF and hope to get some good techniques from everyone and maybe share some of my own! I live in MIchigan and have been smokin' for a year. I built and use an ugly drum smoker. I love it and am in the process of building another.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
We know people who look down on big traveling art exhibitions, those money-makers larded with masterpieces that draw masses who line up to rent headsets for the audio tour. Well, screw those canape-nibbling hater snobs. We like the big shows. Take, for example the Kimbell's exhibition from earlier this year, The Age of Picasso and Matisse: Modern Masters from The Art Institute of Chicago. Now, the Art Institute is one of our favorite places on earth, but it's a long haul to Chicago, so the chance to drive to Fort Worth to see an expansive, sharply curated survey of Modern masterworks, plus get an informative lecture on the links between the artists and the development of styles, made for a wondrous day. The Kimbell, wide open, glowing with light, is the perfect place to take in a show like Modern Masters, which is why we're looking forward to Faces of Impressionism: Portraits from the Musée d'Orsay this October. Thanks, Kimbell, for delivering beautiful art on our doorstep and giving us such a magical space, especially the new Renzo Piano Pavilion. Walking through its mix of gentle curves, blond wood and translucent glass make you feel like you're aboard a sailing ship that floats on air and light.
Nobody is putting on the caliber of up-and-coming or underground metal and punk that Three Links is. Since opening last year, it's found a groove that Dallas didn't even know it was missing, one that contains all the most interesting shows toward the louder end of the scale. While Trees down the street puts on the more predictable metal, Three Links isn't afraid to take a risk on booking acts that are great but may not necessarily sell out the relatively small venue. It's the most valuable addition to Deep Ellum in a while.
OK, we know we also named Three Links best metal bar, but what the hell. They're not all-metal all-the-time, and no one out there can compete with the consistent quality of rock shows hosted by Three Links these days — and that's no slight to other venues in North Texas. Helmed by the booking duo of Scott Beggs and Kris Youmans, who between them have logged more years in the music biz than they probably care to count, plus business partner Oliver Peck, Three Links rose from the ashes of La Grange less than 18 months ago, but all of that experience shows in the bands they land. Just in the past six months, they've brought in rowdy yung'uns like Diarrhea Planet, got a little weird with Bob Log, courted controversy with Perfect Pussy and snagged an almost-impossible-to-get name like British punk vets Sham 69. They also have the ska scene on lock-down. So step back, pretenders. Three Links is here to show us how rock music is done.
While it might not be a new bar, Twilite Lounge is the best up-and-coming new host of music in Deep Ellum. Stepping it up from hosting live music maybe once every week or so, now it's packed Wednesday through Sunday with DJs, live blues, jazz, folk, the best karaoke in town ... it's amazing what they can fit into such a small space, and the booking is impeccable. Also, it's always free to get in. Since it's started hosting so many concerts, Twilite Lounge has made everyone else around them up their game too.
It isn't often that "best" and "free" coincide, but in the case of Adair's, that's the winning combination that has turned this place into a Dallas institution. On any given night of the week, you'll hear up-and-coming or established artists from Texas and beyond who are trying to keep country music alive. It may not have thousands of square feet for two-stepping or a fancy reputation, but there's no disputing the place in history that Adair's holds for Texas country musicians. On the walls, you'll find photos of performers who have gone on to immense success, like the Dixie Chicks and up-and-comer William Clark Green. The staff is down-home friendly and the food is perfectly good for this kind of dive bar. Most important, there are plenty of cheap drinks that are perfect for both putting a tear in your beer and hanging out with all your rowdy friends.
You've only been here a minute — barely enough time to fork over your $3 daylight cover, pull out a Dos Equis from the arctic beer bin at the entrance and pull up at the bar. And yet, she's already pulling up next to you, Zora from Portugal, curvy and sweet. Annoying? Maybe, if you come to strip clubs to gawk from a safe distance. But you're at Baby Dolls, tucked off Northwest Highway in Dallas' industrial/boob district, for what makes strip clubs interesting — playful conversation heightened by the safest kind of sex: the not-sex kind. Zora does it right, just lingering, chatting, no mention of the lap dance(s) she needs to give to make rent. You don't mention it either, keeping the inevitable conversation at bay while you and Zora debate the merits of the bartender's newly purple hair, and you steal peeks at one of the 7,000 TVs, all locked to ESPN, all portending fantasy-football doom. Soon Zora will have to take the stage; you'll be right here when she gets done, right? Yes! Maybe. Maybe.

Killeen Daily Herald
It's been more than a century since Gen. Gordon Granger and 2,000 federal troops arrived on Galveston Island to take possession of Texas and enforce the emancipation of its slaves.
Now, 143 years later, communities across the United States are still celebrating Juneteenth – June 19, 1865 – and Killeen is no exception.
Roosevelt Huggins is chair of the Killeen Juneteenth committee, which has organized the annual celebration since 1989. Huggins has helped plan every celebration since.
"It's for the community. It's for everyone," Huggins said of the celebration and its many events, which are all free and open to the public.
Killeen's celebration commemorating the official end of slavery in Texas started with the vision of Ora Washington, a former Killeen National Association for the Advancement of Colored People president, Huggins said.
Once she, Huggins and other longtime community members took a drive and witnessed another Juneteenth celebration, the group decided to offer similar festivities in Killeen, but without charging anyone a cent.
"We said we want to give back and do the same thing without charging, so we do it all for free," Huggins said.
The celebration, which begins tonight and ends Saturday afternoon, includes a pageant, parade, church service, a dramatic performance, a concert, booths, games and lots of good food.
Cooking will begin Friday night to prepare 250 pounds of brisket, chicken, ham, hot dogs, red soda water and watermelon.
Huggins, also a former Killeen NAACP president, pointed out the importance of serving red soda water and watermelon – the primary foods offered at the first celebration on Galveston Island in 1865, he said.
Food will be ready to serve at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Killeen Community Center.
"One of the things we're looking forward to is a big crowd," Huggins said.
He said every year food is given away to area food banks and shelters because enough people don't show up to consume it during the celebration.
An addition this year is the crowning of the first Miss Juneteenth, who will then ride in the parade at 6 p.m. Friday in downtown Killeen. The pageant will be conducted Thursday at the Killeen Community Center, with doors opening at 6 p.m. and the competition starting at 7 p.m.
Contestants Cierra Randle, Monica Briddell, Brittany Flakes, Marisa Johnson and Khandiese Cooper will vie for the title in that pageant, which includes a talent competition.
Besides food on Saturday, there will be a church service at 10 a.m. with guest speaker the Rev. Dr. George Harrison, pastor of First Baptist Church in Waco.
Huggins was careful to remind the public that Juneteenth is not a celebration for a select group of people.
"We're looking for a more diverse crowd," Huggins said. "We want people to come out. It's especially great for soldiers to come out and enjoy."
Fort Hood's Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers is also hosting a Juneteenth program,
Juneteenth Comedy Explosion, on Saturday at Abrams Physical Fitness Center on Fort Hood.
The Juneteenth Comedy Explosion will be hosted by Joe Torry and will feature comedians Tyler Craig, K-Dubb and Hurricane Andrew.
Tickets to the Juneteenth Comedy Explosion are $20 per person. The doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. The show is open to the public and patrons may purchase tickets at Information, Ticketing and Registration and the B.O.S.S. office on Fort Hood or Renaissance Records in Killeen.
Contact Olga Pe?a at firstname.lastname@example.com or (254) 501-7555.

SCHOTT AG introduces attractive ideas competition
Open innovation at SCHOTT-Rohrglas GmbH with prizes valued at more than $20,000!
SCHOTT-Rohrglas GmbH is currently sponsoring a competition on ideas to encourage people to make clever suggestions on what can be made out of an angular glass tube. After all, whether or not it is square, rectangular or five or more sided, glass tubing from SCHOTT-Rohrglas, based in the Bavarian town of Mitterteich, hasn't been just round for some time. And this is what opens up unlimited possibilities for new applications.
Based on the principle of "open innovation" – this is the first project of its kind at SCHOTT – everyone is invited to submit ideas on new applications and markets for "Conturax" Pro glass profile tubing, and thus "help shape the future," says Dr. Nikolaos Katsikis, who heads the project. Registration to participate in the competition can be done online by going to the website www.innovationskraftwerk.de.
Attractive cash prizes worth a total of more than $20,000 are being offered and, of course, one even has a chance of seeing one's own ideas implemented in marketable products. The winners will also be given the chance to present their ideas to the management jury during an award ceremony to be held at the headquarters of SCHOTT Group in Mainz.
SCHOTT-Rohrglas GmbH in Mitterteich manufactures angular profiled tubes using a patented, direct drawing method. It is a subsidiary of SCHOTT Group, which has its headquarters in Mainz.
SCHOTT is an international technology group that sees its core purpose as the lasting improvement of living and working conditions. To this end, the company has been developing special materials, components and systems for 125 years.Learn more

This program is designed for students who seek intensive academic exposure to Ireland's political and social history, contemporary economic issues, and literary heritage. By combining coursework with study outside the classroom, you have the opportunity to discover the rich heritage of Ireland, as well as its contemporary culture through its art, theater, and film.
Over the course of the summer, you will come to know Dublin's winding streets and unique charm. The Dublin Irish Studies Summer program offers enrollment in IES Abroad courses, housing in fully-equipped student apartments, and field trips. Starting at the IES Abroad Center, near St. Stephen's Green, this program will help you to gain a meaningful cultural experience and a deeper knowledge of what it means to be a citizen of the world.

IES Abroad Dublin organizes field study trips that complement what you're learning in the classroom, and contribute to your general knowledge of Irish culture and society. These trips include walking tours of Dublin's significant architectural, literary, and political markers.
We want to make sure that your greatest challenge is deciding which landmarks to see first or discovering the best café—not finding a place to live where you feel comfortable. We do our best to locate housing that is reflective of how the local students are living. Our goal is that when you leave Dublin, it will feel like home.
Private Student Apartments-You will live in a private student apartment located in residential Dublin. The private student apartments are shared by three to four flat mates, and consist of a fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms with large fitted wardrobes, two bathrooms, and a shared living area.
The private student apartments are completely furnished and have WiFi Internet access along with other amenities. You are responsible for your own meals, and can prepare your own food at home or eat at local, inexpensive restaurants.
Private Student Residence -You will live in a private student residence, Binary Hub, in Dublin. At Binary Hub, you will be given your own private bedroom and bathroom. You will share the floor with up to four other flat mates, which consists of a fully-equipped kitchen and a shared living area.
The private student residence is completely furnished and has WiFi Internet access along with other amenities. You are responsible for your own meals, and can prepare your own food at home or eat at local, inexpensive restaurants.
Part of making you feel at home in Dublin is doing our best to help you feel safe and cared for. Whether it is an orientation program that makes you feel prepared, housing that is well located and comfortable, or the field trips that take you to places off the beaten path—we're all about our student services. This is just one of the things we're known for.
The program begins with a two-day orientation that introduces you to the IES Abroad Dublin staff, your fellow students, and the city of Dublin. Topics such as academics, housing, transportation, and health and safety are covered during this time.
You also take guided tours around the Center and areas of Dublin as part of your orientation.
Additionally, CORE™, IES Abroad's Comprehensive Orientation & Re-entry Experience, begins during orientation and continues throughout the semester with activities focusing on cultural adjustment, goal achievement, and preparing for the return home. You will also take guided tours around the Center and areas of interest in Dublin as part of your orientation.
IES Abroad Dublin organizes a number of field trips as an integral part of its opportunities for cultural immersion in Ireland. These trips explore areas of significant regional interest and are led by people who contextualize what you are witnessing and experiencing. These field trips are partially subsidized by IES Abroad. Possible destinations include:
Northern Ireland
3 daysTake a guided tour of Belfast and visit Dunluce Castle, Bushmills Distillery, the film sites for Game of Thrones, and the Giant's Causeway, an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Causey Farm1 dayVisit an open farm where you will have the chance to try out Irish dancing, bake traditional Irish bread, play hurling (Ireland's national sport), and visit a bog!

Science Knows Why You Crave Bloody Marys on Airplanesby Amy Reiter in Drinks, News, May 27th, 2015
That craving for tomato juice or a Bloody Mary that comes over you in airplanes, as perhaps nowhere else? Blame the roar of the engines.
Cornell University food scientists say airplane noise, which tends to hover around 85 decibels, can affect travelers' taste buds — suppressing their taste for sweet stuff and boosting the taste of umami-rich foods like tomato juice.
