This time of year is when tree-leaves start coming down as we head through the autumn season to the winter one. It can look nice and pretty, with golden-brown leaves layering the ground, and trees becoming bare and rugged, although from a cleaning perspective it can be more of a challenge to make sure leaves are cleared properly, and not only making things look more tidy but potentially safer with a say reduced risk of slips on them.
So we've come up with 7 'S' factors to remember when cleaning up the leaves. 7 little tricks that will help you do it a whole lot easier, cleaner, and safer. 7 little nuggets to also pass on to others helping you out, whether your kids in the back yard, or contractors around your business.
1. Slippy when wet. Remember that you can go flying down by easily slipping on leaves after it's been raining and they become slipy, including when clearing them away or running over them. You may need to brush the leaves away from you so you're only stepping on bare rather than a leaf-covered ground.
Maybe you carry around a small bottle of hand sanitizer. Maybe you can't help organising every cupboard, every shelf, every nook and cranny in your home and office. Maybe you begin organising when you're at your friend's house? That is when things might be getting a little out of control and getting to be more than a simple character quirk.
We all have them, little things that we do that mark us out as being… us, our character traits, our flaws. But it might be more than that if our cleaning is getting to be a bigger matter. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a condition that affects a significant percentage of the world's population.
Below a few things you can look out for that may indicate whether you are suffering from OCD and are particularly pertinent to cleaning.
• Overzealous hand-washing
• Over-doing the hand-washing or liberal use of hand sanitizer throughout your day is a big sign amongst those with OCD and people exhibiting this symptom even have their own term: "washers".
• The compulsion to obsessively wash hands is one of the most common amongst OCD patients. Not only is this down to the fear of germs but it also incorporates the concern of spreading germs to others.
In recent years there has been a lot of worry and stress over what is actually in our food and in the household products we use in our day to day lives around our babies, children and family. There is also increasing concern about using products that do not damage the environment any further.... Continue reading
The Sunday Times at the weekend had an interesting article on how landlords of residential properties let out to students are getting carried away with high costs being charged at the end of their tenancy and deducted from deposits because of the condition of the properties being left by the students. So to give a flavour of these high costs, they provide examples like:... Continue reading

When Yoga Pants Are Just Mass Hysteria For Your Ass
Recently my daughter received a gift from a very generous relative. Before I go on, let me clarify that this gift was from what we will call the "Citrus Fruit Store" of yoga gear, because I don't feel like getting sued for disparaging a beloved brand name. The sizing was wrong, so we took it […]
How do You Handle Step-Kids Who Don't Like You?
From time to time readers send me some complicated issue they are dealing with to see if I might be able to help them through it.

Crap, I Think I Might Be Sexist
I consider myself a bit of an armchair feminist. I tut-tut news stories about Hijabs, the glass ceiling and systemic limitations of women's ambitions. I am not the protesting and bra burning sort, however I stand strong when faced with overt sexism wherever I see it. I do something about it with ferocity, even if I […]

Licensing Act 2003
The Licensing Act 2003 came into force on 24 November 2005 and transferred the responsibility for licensing premises and persons selling alcohol from the courts to local authorities.
A requirement of this new legislation is that all local authorities (or Licensing Authorities as they are known under the Act) must draft, consult on and publish a "Statement of Licensing Policy". The Statement of Licensing Policy must have regard to the content of a set of Guidance notes published by the Secretary of State.
The Act requires each Authority to review its Statement of Licensing Policy whenever necessary and, in any case, every five years. At the end of 2015 the Licensing Authority completed the fourth review of its Statement of Licensing Policy, which has now been adopted and came into effect on 11 January 2016. It sets out how we plan to deal with applications made under the Act and balance people's desire for entertainment with residents' right to a peaceful nights sleep.
For more information see the Foreword to the Licensing Policy by Councillor Tim Ahern, JP, Cabinet Member for Environment, Environmental Health and Leisure and the current Statement of Licensing Policy below
The Licensing Act 2003 can be found on the National Archives Legislation website and the Secretary of State's Guidance can be found on the Home Office website.
In 2012 the Government has also published a National Alcohol Strategy which can be found on the Home Office website
Gambling Act 2005
The Gambling Act 2005 came into force on 1 September 2007 and replaced most of the existing law about gambling in Great Britain. The Act put in place an improved, more comprehensive structure of gambling regulation. It modernised 40-year-old gambling laws, ready to face the challenges of today and the future, while including a number of important protections.
It established The Gambling Commission, a new, independent national regulator for commercial gambling in Great Britain who are also the issuing Authority for licences for operators of gambling businesses
The Gambling Act requires all Licensing Authorities to prepare, consult on and publish a Statement of Gambling Policy every three years, setting out how the Authority will manage the licensing of local gambling premises. The Council completed the third review of its Statement of Gambling Policy at the end of 2015 and the latest version came into effect on 1 February 2016.
For more information please see the Foreword to the Gambling Policy by Councillor Tim Ahern, JP, Cabinet Member for Environment, Environmental Health and Leisure, and the current Statement of Gambling Policy below.
Guidance issued to Local Authorities by the Gambling Commission can be found on the Gambling Commission website.
Enforcement Policy
The Licensing Team is part of the Environmental Health Service Group and is responsible for carrying out duties for various different licensing functions, including enforcement. When carrying out enforcement duties within the Borough licensing officers must have due regard to the Regulators' Compliance Code, which places a number of obligations on local authorities when undertaking enforcement duties, among others, taking a consistent approach to enforcement and being proportionate in response to any licensing breaches. To achieve this the Council has adopted an enforcement policy which sets out the Environmental Health Service Group's general approach to enforcement.

Loop Tea Strainer
Cut a step or two from your morning routine with the Loop Tea Strainer. Slide back its metal strainer to scoop up tea leaves directly, then close and throw it in a cup of hot water – or don't, and save it for use later, e.g. at the office. Regardless, we appreciate the sleek, easy to pack design, removable sliding cover (for cleaning), and utter simplicity of use – though that's not to say that picking up tea leaves with a spoon is particularly strenuous.

I have a small area split into three rooms (approx. 350 sq ft) to cool. Somewhere on the web at one time I saw a ducted mini split system that seemed like it would fit the bill. Now I can't find it. It had a small outdoor unit and an indoor air handler that could fit in a closet. Anyone know who makes such an animal?
Traditional split systems seem too large. And since I have three rooms to cool, the multizone mini split systems are way too expensive (not to mention, one room is a bathroom and needs relatively small amount of cooling anyway.
Thanks for any help.

18. Greer Grammer (Kelsey Grammer)
Kelsey Grammer is an actor of unparalleled skill, and while his claim to fame may have been as Dr. Frasier Crane, he has plenty of roles that attest to his acting chops. His daughter Greer Grammer seems to have inherited those same chops, and apparently plenty of good looks, too. She is a series regular on the MTV series Awkward and has also landed roles on the stage and the big screen.

Guys, it's October. When did that happen? (Yesterday, technically, I know, but I'm in denial.) I love you, October, but I am not ready for you. I still need summer because if it's still summer, than I still have a chance of accomplishing all the things I needed to get done at work this summer. This summer felt like was running on this hamster wheel, around and around, working and working but not really every seeming to get any place. It was just one thing after another… but now I think I'm finally getting somewhere. Somewhere good and productive and even a little bit hopeful (things will get done, I will get results, I will finish this darn project/degree/chapter of my life). So maybe all I really needed was a little October.
I decided with the arrival of October, fall decorating could begin. Phase 1: Halloween. (Even though Thanksgiving comes before Halloween here in Canada, it's just wrong in my American mind. I can't let go of
proper November Thanksgiving, so the less spooky, harvest-y fall decorations always come after Halloween. Sorry, Canada, it's nothing personal.) I had the mantle set up, but was just a little unhappy with it – something was missing. So I pulled out some discarded acrylic yarn in great fall shades and crocheted myself a little fall garland of colorful leaves and circles yesterday. I think my crochet hooks were delighted to see the light of day. And I remembered just how fast crochet can be. It was a nice quick project that I could pack in my bag in the morning and hang up proudly by the time I got home in the evening. It's nothing terribly special and breathtaking (and the leaves are curling a bit wonky even after I tried to flatten them under a textbook…), but Andy said he actually liked it (he almost never compliments anything unless I prod him about it), so I'm happy.
Happy fall everyone!
7 Comments on A splash of crochet
I've been running (and will be running) 60 to nothing and I'm sort of feeling about October the way you felt about September. My Halloween decorations MIGHT get out before Halloween, I do have some fall things scattered that I'm now glad I scattered while the temps were in the 90s….garden calls….grandkids call….my kitchen is screaming to be put to use for more than a quick salad……..
I love your fall crochet…..just the touch to welcome the season. I'll off to find (then cut) some bittersweet!!!
Beautiful crochet garland! It's the perfect finishing touch for the spooky fall mood.
I hear you about the lack of summer progress in the lab…I'm in the exact same boat and feel as though I've barely scratched the surface of my work "to-do list". That's a cute little garland – maybe I'll do a bit of fall decorating, even though it's not something we do in Ireland but it'd be fun while I'm here 🙂
I recognise that feeling of not getting things done over summer, but I'm glad you feel like you're getting things finished now. And the decorations look super cute, I wish it was more common to have Fall decorations in Europe, but not having any holidays in October/November doesn't really help.
So lovely and halloween-y!!
What a beautiful garland and a great way to decorate for fall. Crochet is so much faster than knitting. I have been known to get out the hooks if I'm working on big projects and I just need to have an FO. Great job.
Yay for crochet bunting!

To say "The Blu Album" is not to suggest that Steven Wilson's Grace for Drowning (Kscope) is as wildly diverse as the Beatles' "White Album" - even if Wilson rightly calls his own double-disc set "more experimental and more eclectic" than his previous solo outing, 2009's Insurgentes, with jazz and classical influen

In this era of electronic dance music, you might think the pioneering French duo Daft Punk would be eager to trump the upstarts. But you'd be thinking wrong.
As Thomas Bangalter told Rolling Stone, "We wanted to do what we used to do with machines and samplers but with people." And as Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo said, "It's not that we can't make crazy, futuristic-sounding stuff, but we wanted to play with the past."
These days, Apple likes to hold court at a different consumer electronics shebang - the Macworld Conference & Expo in San Francisco. "And where Apple goes," says any peripheral maker looking for some action, "iFollow!"

A Blue Grouse favorite! With its dazzling perfumed aromas and Muscat-like nature, Bacchus was originally named after the Roman god of wine and pleasure – and who doesn't love wine and pleasure? Ours exhibits subtle notes of elderflower and white peaches. It's been said to have a kind of "Sauvignon Blanc-like style" but with a more refined character, well suited for deities.

Brace yourself for rates rise
Prepare to tighten your belts, home-owners - the official cash rate is on the brink of rising for the first time in over three years.
On Thursday, the Reserve Bank is expected to nudge the OCR up 0.25 per cent from its current historically low rate of 2.5 per cent, making New Zealand one of the first OECD central banks to lift cash rates in recent years.
The increase is expected to be just one of a series of hikes that could take the OCR as high as 4 per cent over the next 12 months.
While some will immediately feel the pinch as floating mortgage rates rise, thousands of Kiwis who have cash in term deposits are unlikely to see a similar jump in their interest income.
Financial commentator Bernard Hickey said when the OCR goes up, banks will almost immediately lift their floating mortgage rates by 0.25 per cent as well, "which will be a bit of a shock to lots of people".
Fixed mortgage rates won't change much for now, because banks have been already set their rates in the expectation of OCR rises. Mortgages fixed for one and two years are about 5.7 per cent to 6.5 per cent respectively.
However, Hickey said after five years of low rates, the proportion of people with floating mortgages is relatively high. "This time around, under a third of people are fixed for more than a year."
Matt Nolan from Infometrics said the decision for mortgage- holders on whether to fix or float all came back to the usual issue of how much risk you were willing to take.
He said Infometrics was currently projecting floating rates as high as 8.4 per cent by 2016, though other economists were predicting slightly lower rates.
Nolan said that in theory, higher interest rates should provide a check on house price growth, or even push prices down, but in reality owners were often reluctant to drop prices, so instead the market "stalls".
Hickey said New Zealanders held mortgages totalling around $200bn, but also had about $130bn in term deposits. "Lots of people on term deposits will be asking, 'will my rates go up', and it's actually possible they won't go up much, because the banks are flush, so they're not under pressure to raise term deposits.
"Everyone will see banks putting up the floating rates but not the term deposit [rates], and that automatically means the banks will have widened their profit margins."
Hickey said apart from its impact on everyday mortgage- holders and savers, Thursday's announcement will be "quite an event in the world of rate-watchers and trenchcoat-wearers like me", for its historic significance. "In New Zealand terms, that's the longest we've been with a fixed rate since the birth of the modern Reserve Bank."
The OCR was introduced in 1999 at 4.5 per cent, fell to a low of 2.5 per cent in April 2009, nudged back up to 3 per cent in late 2010, and dropped back to 2.5 per cent in March 2011 following the Christchurch earthquake.
It has stayed there ever since.

Romans 12 (The Message)
3I'm speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it's important that you not misinterpret yourselves as people who are bringing this goodness to God. No, God brings it all to you. The only accurate way to understand ourselves is by what God is and by what he does for us, not by what we are and what we do for him.
4-6In this way we are like the various parts of a human body. Each part gets its meaning from the body as a whole, not the other way around. The body we're talking about is Christ's body of chosen people. Each of us finds our meaning and function as a part of his body. But as a chopped-off finger or cut-off toe we wouldn't amount to much, would we? So since we find ourselves fashioned into all these excellently formed and marvelously functioning parts in Christ's body, let's just go ahead and be what we were made to be, without enviously or pridefully comparing ourselves with each other, or trying to be something we aren't.
6-8If you preach, just preach God's Message, nothing else;
if you help, just help, don't take over;
if you teach, stick to your teaching;
if you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy;
if you're put in charge, don't manipulate;
if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond;
if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them.
Keep a smile on your face.
For your meditation on new covenant functioning in the body of Christ -keywords : pure grace, no envying or comparison, not what we do for Him but what He has done for us, don't manipulate or be bossy or dominating.....
Do enjoy His grace this coming New Year that empowers us in our diverse functions in the body of Christ (church) that God has called us into ( and not what others want/expect you to be -be yourself). :-) Keep a smile on your face.

Acerca de
When NPR commentator Marion Winik met Tony Heubach at Mardi Gras in 1983, there was "a spark of recognition between us. . . . something with a trajectory outside my field of vision." In this candid and deeply felt memoir, she traces that trajectory: a straight woman and a gay man falling in love, marrying, raising two beautiful sons; their against-the-odds happiness eventually crumbling under the pressure of AIDS; and the harrowing, heartbreaking final moments of their life together.Review:
This memoir from Marion Winik, a commentator for National Public Radio and the author of Telling, a collection of autobiographical essays, begins in 1983 with Winik, just 24, anesthetizing herself after a break-up via vodka and a mixture of hard drugs. Though strong-willed, she seems to lack strength of character. She flounders from one mistake to the next, offering wise observations, but never attempting to thwart her streak of self-destruction. Her marriage to a gay man with HIV sets the course for change--she kicks her addictions and ultimately assists in her ravaged husband's suicide. Through an HIV wives support group, as well as through altercations with her in-laws, she comes to learn how strong she really is.

Benedictine nun
Sister Joan Chittister opens her latest book with the story of Abba Zosimas, a fifth-century monk in Palestine. Abba Zosimas taught his followers, "The soul has as many masters as it has passions." Chittister wants her readers to look "gently, kindly but clearly," at those masters and passions in their lives, she said.
During her brief career as star of stage and screen in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Dolores Hart won a Theater World Award, was nominated for a Tony Award and gave Elvis Presley his first on-screen kiss (in the 1957 film Loving You) when she was just 19 years old.
Now 73-year-old Hart — better known for most of the last 40 years as Mother Dolores, Prioress of the Benedictine Abbey of Regina Laudis in Bethlehem, Conn. — has a new claim to fame: Oscar nominee.
Last week, God is the Bigger Elvis, a short documentary film about her journey from Hollywood starlet to cloistered Catholic nun, received an Academy Award nomination for best short documentary film.

For a variety of reasons Linda Shaye [Lin now] has led a very interesting life. Many will recognize Lin from her breakout role of Magda in the Farrelly Brothers film, There's Something About Mary. Before that, Lin was featured in another Farrelly brothers film, Kingpin, but she had already appeared in many movies both feature films and TV films, starting with Hester Street in 1975. Linda began acting at Mumford in a variety of Drama Club roles. Not long after attending the University of Michigan, she ended up working at the Edinburgh Festival in Scotland, then worked as a prop master for a West End theater in London. Off to Israel, and two kibbutz's, for a while, then back to London, and on to New York, where she stayed with Linda Pollard and Rena Pokempner. Worked in the registrar's office, Museum of Modern Art, then accepted into the Columbia University's Master's Program in Theater Arts. After a sojourn to LA, back to NYC, doing theater for the next seven years.
In 1977, back to LA, starting a theater company, LA Theater Unit. "Acting, acting, and more acting." After losing her first husband, Marshall Rubinoff, in a tragic accident, years later, while in LA, married Clayton Landey; later divorced, but not before giving birth to Lee J. Shaye Landey, now 27. Many movie rolls over many years, "adoring her fantastic career." Now a key player in a film franchise called Insidious; just finished the fourth one, to be released in October, 2017.
From Lin, " . . . friends, work . . . doggies have come and gone . . . present is little rescue Lily and two crazy cat brothers. Had two horses, a western rider, competing in what is called 'reining.' LOVE MY LIFE . . . wanna live til 115 . . . WANNA SEE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT."

Starbucks to Expand Further in China, Wont Enter India Soon
By Kyung Bok Cho
July 29 (Bloomberg) -- Starbucks Corp., the worlds biggest coffee-shop operator, will keep China as a key part of its Asia growth strategy and has no immediate plans to enter India, the head of the companys international unit said.
China clearly is a huge opportunity for us, today and into the foreseeable future, Martin Coles, president of Starbucks Coffee International Inc., said in an interview in Seoul. We certainly have aspirations to have operations in India, but this is not something that is on the front burner and about to happen.
Starbucks is focusing on growing in existing markets after years of entering two to four new countries annually. While the international unit expands in China, Russia and Brazil, the Seattle-based chain expects to save as much as $550 million this year by cutting labor costs and reducing leftover food and coffee at its stores.
Starbucks opened its first store in China in 1999 and had an outlet in the Forbidden City until it was closed in July 2007, after an anchor at state broadcaster China Central Television spurred popular protest by criticizing the shop on his blog. The company now has 690 outlets in China and Taiwan, according to its Web site.
We are nowhere near any degree of saturation in the markets that we serve internationally, said Coles, who helms the companys operations outside the U.S. We will enter India when we are ready to enter India. Canada, Japan and the U.K. also provide solid growth prospects for Starbucks, he said.
The companys Chief Financial Officer Troy Alstead said in March that talks with possible licensees and joint venture partners in India didnt come together.
16,700 Cafes
Starbucks had more than 16,700 cafes as of the end of June, including about 5,460 locations outside the U.S. The company plans a net addition of about 380 stores overseas in the fiscal year ending in September, compared with a net reduction of more than 400 locations within the country, according to a July 21 statement.
The company gets about one-fifth of its revenue from its international operations. Sales at overseas locations open at least a year fell 2 percent in the quarter ended June 28, compared with a 6 percent decline at U.S. locations, it said in the same statement.
Currency fluctuations were mostly responsible for an 11 percent decrease in quarterly overseas revenue, compared with a 6.5 percent decline for the U.S. market, Coles said. Still, the international business is robust as operating margins expanded to 7.2 percent from 6.6 percent, he said.
Coles denied an Edaily report yesterday that said Starbucks would introduce its Via instant coffee in Asia next year. The company plans to start selling the blend across the U.S. in a year, he said.
Starbucks began offering Via in Seattle and Chicago area shops in March to tap the $17 billion global instant-coffee market, which accounts for 40 percent of all cups. In the U.K. and Russia, instant represents more than 80 percent of all coffee made.

Understanding the World of Project Management – The Risk Manager
Understanding the World of Project Management – The Risk Manager
One of the key skills in the world of project management is being able to anticipate, mitigate and manage risks, which is where the role of a Risk Manager comes into play. In this month's blog instalment, we explore the role of the Risk Manager, and see how they help keep projects on track, by anticipating the undesirable.
What do they do?
As the title may imply, a Risk Manager is responsible for managing the risks associated with a particular project. A major part of their role is to anticipate, identify and work to mitigate risks within a project; the challenge comes in that not all risks are known or quantifiable. The Risk Manager therefore has to consider all eventualities, however remote they may seem, and use these to formulate a risk management plan – a document detailing what steps can be taken should one of these risks become a reality. To help focus the plan and decide on top priorities, they often use certain algorithms to ascertain the most significant risks, in terms of likelihood and impact on the project. It's important to note that risk management is a continuous process, and while the majority of preparation may occur prior to a project starting, risks need to be monitored and assessed throughout, as likelihood, impact and relevance of risks can change drastically during the lifecycle of a project. Risk Managers are responsible for reporting on the risk status of a project and making recommendations where appropriate.
Where do they work?
All projects carry risks, making risk management a key part of any project plan. However risk management is something all project managers are exposed to, and should be comfortable with, so a dedicated Risk Manager may not be necessary in all instances. In particular, they may not be required for small projects, where there are a relatively limited number of risks. They therefore work primarily on large and complex projects, in sectors such as engineering, aerospace, construction and finance.
What do they need to know?
An ability to undertake a holistic view of a project is highly important, as risks can arise from anywhere within a project, and technical and analytical skills are vital in order to assess and evaluate relevant risks. Many Risk Managers move into the role as a result of exposure when working as project managers or planners, and as with many roles in PM, there are no formal qualifications needed. However to be able to work as a specialist, undertaking specific risk related training is of benefit.
How do they fit into the PMO?
The Risk Manager will need to work closely with many other teams within the PMO in order to understand and assess any potential risks related to that area. They will also need to work with key suppliers, the wider business and even the customer on occasion, to understand where any risks may lie. As mentioned above, a Risk Manager is not always a distinct role within a PMO, but will be when working on complex projects.
Norman Gaddas
Job Title
Risk and Planning Manager
I currently run my own business Rhobyn Management Ltd.
How long have you worked there?
One year
Describe a typical day
As a risk manger my days can vary considerably, but one of my overarching responsibilities is to manage and maintain the risk management plan, accounting for who does what, what do we need to be aware of and what actions do we need to take? The aim is to be able to manage and review risks before they cause any disruption. Any risks that are identified are added to a risk register, and I have to compile monthly reports and offer updates to the wider business and the customer we're working with. Another key part of my role is attending the risk working group every 4-6 weeks, where we discuss how to better manage risks and improve procedures to allow us to do this. I've also been involved with a lot of ad-hoc things to help improve our processes, such as generating a guide to link Primavera and MSP with the local governance in how to use them. To help this further I often deliver presentations about how to use the tools. I also created a one-page document briefly explaining what risk management is, so that everyone in the project team understands the role and how it fits in. As risk manager I help support the bid process, helping to reduce risk and reduce costs where possible, so that if the bid is won there are fewer chances of issues down the line, and of course I help in writing risk management plans throughout the lifecycle of a project.
How did you get into it?
I started my career in planning and project management, and over time got exposure to the risk side of the discipline. Around 10 years ago I did a risk management course which was really the start of my involvement in risk; while I continued to work as a planner I began to use my risk management knowledge in the role and eventually introduced a new risk tool to the team. I taught myself how to use the tool and from there just got more and more involved in the risk side of things as I was one of the only people who could use it. When the opportunity to become involved in a risk working group arose I took it, and eventually became the risk manager for a large project, as well as the champion for the tool we were using. This led to me being asked to head up the risk management team which I really enjoyed.
What's your favourite thing about your job?
I really enjoy the discussion around risk management, being able to talk through concerns, and sharing knowledge. I love helping to see people understand the benefits of risk management, and persuading people that it's a worthwhile thing to do.
Most important skills
I think one of the most important skills is being able to understand the process of risk management, and being able and willing to dig deeper than what's presented on the surface. Knowing the tools is useful but it shouldn't be the main focus; using the tool is secondary to being able to follow a risk management process effectively. Another key part is being able to influence people and help them recognise the benefits of what you're trying to do. This requires good communication to convey this message and also tell people what you need them to do. You need to work with people and use the information they present – don't dismiss the ideas of others, because they could be vital to your plan. Finally you need to be open to different ways of looking at things and be willing to learn.

Maxine Waters Reclaiming Her Time Just Became Everyone's New Summer '17 Mantra
California Congresswoman Maxine Waters puts her foot down by reclaiming her time.
With the colossal collapse in the NBA Finals still stinging, Miami Heat president Pat Riley took the unusual step of addressing the media Tuesday.
This was interesting for several reasons, not the least because of all the speculation of what the Heat might do to overcome the shortcomings that their Big Three couldn't. The greatest speculation since Miami came up short against the Dallas Mavericks is that head coach Erik Spoelstra would be fired after not delivering a plan that would have given LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh the NBA title in their first season.
Conventional wisdom had Riley stepping back into the coach's seat to lead the team he put together last summer. Riley was quick to dispel that speculation. He said Spoelstra would return next season, according to ESPN.com.
"No, I'm not going to," Riley responded when asked if he would coach the team. "It doesn't mean that I don't have the fire. But we've got a great young coach here, and I want to support him. And hopefully, he can grow like I did. We'll bring Erik back, definitely."
That may not be the answer most in South Beach want to hear, but it's the one that likely makes the most sense. Spoesltra got the Heat to within two games of winning The Finals and that is impressive considering it was essentially a first-year team.
Despite the collapse, the Heat will likely enter next season as the odds on favorites to win it all. That is certainly Riley's hopes as he looks for the Big Three to be in the hunt for a while.
"I know what everybody expected here, but it didn't happen," Riley said of the team falling short of winning it all. "We are good enough. We have enough. We will do all the things we need to do to get better."
