Here's a little story about the power of third-party validation.
A few days ago after a surprising Fiesta Bowl victory over Oklahoma, West Virginia University hired a new football coach named Bill Stewart. Coach "Stew" was a journeyman assistant coach for decades, with only one less-than-notable stint as a head coach at VMI, before being hired by WVU as an assistant coach in 2000. Recently, Coach Stew was thrust into the spotlight when Rich Rodriguez left his alma mater and bolted for the University of Michigan job.
As the typical high-stakes college coaching search began, Coach Stew was almost an afterthought. He was asked to fill in as interim head coach and help clean up the mess Rodriguez had left behind - disappointed players, enraged fans, and an uncertain future for all the remaining assistant coaches. Interviews with a handful of high-profile coaches were reported in the press; Coach Stew's name was never mentioned as a serious candidate. He was only referenced in the context of getting the team ready for the Fiesta Bowl against the feared Sooners. Over 85% of the country said they thought Oklahoma would pummel WVU.
But a funny thing happened...Coach Stew refused to lobby publicly for the head coaching job. Instead, media reports from Phoenix during Fiesta Bowl indicated Coach Stew had the team loose and prepared. His low-key, informal, aw-shucks manner was winning over the media and fans. Players began to sing the praises of Coach Stew's approach to practice and preparation. They said they were having fun, and couldn't wait for the game.
And then? A blowout. WVU 48 - Oklahoma 28. Shocking to most analysts, the win unleashed a torrent emotions from the players and entire state of West Virginia. One by one, the players publicly declared their love and support for Coach Stew as their head coach. Pat White, the Heisman candidate quarterback for WVU, stood on the post-game celebration stage in front of a national audience and declared that WVU should hire Coach Stew. Others in the locker room declared WVU would be crazy if they didn't hire him.
The next morning, despite never having been seriously mentioned in any of the coaching search reports, Coach Stew was named WVU's next head football coach.
An emotional choice? Perhaps. The best possible coach for the job? Maybe not. A choice entirely influenced by the confidence and passion expressed by the players who experienced Coach Stew's leadership? Absolutely.
Time will tell if Coach Stew is the right man for the job. But it's clear that a group of empowered players - who delivered evidence in the form of an underdog and articulated their desires passionately - delivered the sale for Coach Stew.

The US State Department has confirmed that Sergey Lavrov and Rex Tillerson will hold meetings in Washington D.C. between the 9th and 11th of May.
Talks will cover a wide range of issues but primarily will involve Syria.
This comes after US Defence Secretary James 'Mad Dog' Mattis said that, "the devil is in the details", when asked about his opinion on the safe zones established last week by the Astana Group which includes Russia, Iran and Turkey.
The Syrian government and the United Nations both support the Memorandum.

The Ashley HomeStores AR furniture app – 3D Augmented Reality for home furnishings
The Ashley HomeStore AR furniture app uses View In Room Augmented Reality (AR) to allow customers to preview a wide selection of Ashley Furniture products in their own home. The app empowers customers to determine whether items will fit in their space, or how new furniture will match with the existing pieces already decorating the room. Ashley's mobile solution uses the exact same 3D products that power the in-store Ashley 360 Virtual Reality tool, with the flexibility of the 3D Cloud™ content management system making it easy to share 3D product models across customer touch points.
Pick and place furniture into context using Augmented Reality
The Ashley HomeStore AR furniture app features an enhanced mobile shopping experience that uses View In Room Augmented Reality (AR) to help users view Ashley products in their own home. Customers can search, browse and shop thousands of furniture and home decor items, then preview selections by hitting the "View it in your home" button to launch the Augmented Reality viewing experience. The AR feature renders photo-realistic 3D models of products into the scene being captured by the iPhone camera. Users can verify a piece will fit, and that it will match the existing decor of the room.
ARKit, ARCore and even more
Ashley wanted to be first with an AR furniture app of this quality and scale, and Marxent delivered with a WebKit application built on the 3D Cloud™ platform – before iOS 11 and ARKit were available. A WebKit application gave Ashley access to the broadest base of current generation device users and allowed them to start learning about how their customers would use AR.
There were also other factors. For instance, Ashley wanted to be able to use AR to illustrate how items that hang on a wall (clocks, art, etc.) would look in a real room, making wall tracking a must-have feature. Marxent's proprietary View In Room AR solution includes wall tracking, while early releases of Apple's ARKit and Google's ARCore did not.
For retailers now looking to develop an app, Marxent is building custom and white-label apps with our proprietary markerless AR platform for all current generation devices as well as for ARKit and ARCore — or all three for maximum reach.
Ashley uses AR to help customers buy big ticket items with confidence and ease
The Ashley AR furniture app offers convenience and flexibility when making furniture and home decor purchase decisions. By viewing items in Augmented Reality before they buy, customers can visualize how the furniture or accessories will look in their space. This experience builds buyer confidence and reduces remorse and the profit-sapping returns that come with it. The Ashley AR furniture app then makes order fulfillment a snap by offering in-home delivery, free small parcel shipping, and the option for customers to pick up purchases from an Ashley warehouse. Through every step of the customer journey, the Ashley HomeStore app is there to keep customers engaged with and excited by about the process.
How the Ashley HomeStore AR furniture app works:
- Users download the Ashley HomeStore app from the iTunes App Store.
- Once installed, the app is used to browse the full range of Ashley Furniture products — couches, love seats, tables, bedroom sets, accessories and more.
- To preview a specific item in AR, the user touches the "View it in your home" button, which launches an AR visualization window and draws the item into the scene.
- Users can manipulate the 3D product, moving it around to get an idea of whether it will fit the space and match the existing decor.
- An additional 3D mode allows the user to focus extensively on the selected furniture, viewing it up close and from any angle.
- Once the customer settles on a piece, they can proceed to checkout and purchase directly from the HomeStore app.
3D Cloud™ works for retailers
Major retailers such as Ashley Furniture rely on the 3D Cloud™ suite of products platform is robust, mature and built for retail. Publication options include custom branded apps (white label) or integration into an existing mobile app (SDK).

On the third dark day what looked like blood started to drip onto the kitchen floor. They don't tell you that raspberry sorbet is among the first to go.
We live in the quasi-country, one of those places that feel rural because the neighbors have roosters and there tend to be more trees than in town. It's the trees that foul things up in a storm. They begin to swing dance and sometimes fall down. Across power lines. Then you're in the quasi-country alone.
I talked to a woman more accustomed to such interruptions. She lives farther out, under many redwoods.
Her advice on what to do when frozen items start to go: Eat the most expensive things first. She dined on halibut two days in a row.
Another storm veteran does the same with ice cream. She says if it's going to melt anyway it might as well melt in her mouth.
I didn't think about that. I remembered some rule about keeping the freezer compartment closed when the power goes off. But I think that applies to short outages of a few hours. After a couple of days, the freezer starts to unload itself.
When the tempest hit, we went around filling oil lamps and gathering candles. I believe I said something about "playing storm."
The first day the wind blew so hard it lifted up the metal garage door. I said it was only winter trying to get in. This would be fun.
Then we lost lights, phones, heat and Internet access. That's OK.
Could it have rained any harder sideways? This is California, where we cover our windows with mini-blinds, not shutters. The wind screamed so loud that we didn't hear a 50-foot oak tree split down the middle and thump to the ground, missing the car by four inches, the house by eight feet.
Is this for all of us who have ever said that California has wimpy weather?
We had no water because we're on a well and pump that needs electricity to kick on. You can go a couple of days without a shower or washing your hair, but do you really want to present yourself during the holiday season in a baseball cap?
There's more. Without running water, you can't flush toilets, unless you think ahead to gather rain water in soup pots and pour it in the tank. You can make coffee by heating water on the wood stove and using a French press, but without electricity you can't grind coffee beans.
However, for us this was no disaster. We were safe. We were not homeless. We were inconvenienced, not suffering. In readying for the next hit we have learned that cute, perfumed candles don't burn as well as the thick, white ones from the hardware store. We know the importance of bottled water, several sizes of batteries, book lights and instant oatmeal.
Truth be told, it was just fine to slow down, to have the perfect excuse to not be able to do everything on your list.
The storm's long nights made us unwitting celebrants of the solstice. Like people have always done this time of year, we found a way to make peace with the dark.
We lit up the house with candles, listened to the quiet and waited for the wind and rain to come knocking again.
When the power came back, we whooped and started the laundry and checked our e-mail and turned on the Christmas lights. But we kept the candles burning. Not all 24, but a couple.

Without fences, it allows free movement of game between the reserves. Timbavati becomes part of a vast unspoilt natural wilderness area that lies within the Greater Kruger National Park.
Kambaku, Magnificent Seven
KAMBAKU (Solitary Bull elephant), takes its name from one of the 'Magnificent Seven' tuskers who roamed the Kruger Park for the greater part of the last century. These elephants were renowned for their impressive tusks – having, at least, one tusk with the estimated weight of over 60kg.
At KAMBAKU lodge, the legends linger and are remembered by the naming of each chalet after one of these Magnificent giants of the bush.
The chalets, main lodge buildings and the deck area, all overlook a private waterhole with constant wildlife activity. The activity at the waterhole can be observed and enjoyed either from the privacy of your chalet or from the main lodge area.

Energy Efficiency in the context of Sustainable Development
Björn Stigson, President
World Business Council for Sustainable Development
American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy Summer Study 2003
It is a great pleasure to have been invited to your bi-annual meeting, and to be speaking to you today about the WBCSD's perspective on the role of energy efficiency in the grand scope of sustainable development.
I spent 25 years of my working life in four different multinational corporations –
eight of those years as CEO. In this capacity I attended many stakeholder meetings like this one here today and I know the challenges in selecting the right topics and speakers. This is why I am honored and pleased to have been asked to address you today.
Energy efficiency is a topic of high relevance. It is on the agenda of environmentalists as well as government representatives and business. The first group sees energy efficiency as an effective way to reduce greenhouse gases, the second as a way to strengthen energy security and independence from OPEC countries. In fact, with the shortage of natural gas in the US currently being a high policy priority, the government has lately pushed the agenda of energy efficiency. For business, energy efficiency represents just one more way to cut costs and achieve a competitive advantage.
My principle message is simple: energy efficiency is the first step in addressing climate change and presents a widely unexploited opportunity on our way toward sustainable development. Given today's technology
standards there is great potential to reduce energy consumption without compromising the desired outcomes. There are many examples of industry leaders who are realizing significant benefits of energy efficiency – and I will
later tell you about a few of them – but mainstream industry, and in fact
society as a whole, has still a long way to go before realizing the full savings potential.
Before I dive further into the subject matter, I would like to introduce the organization that I represent.
Today, the WBCSD is a coalition of 165 international companies united by a shared commitment to sustainable development. Our members are drawn from 35 countries and more than 20 major industrial sectors and are represented in the council by their CEOs or equivalent. We have 7 members from Canada, 33 from the US and 3 from Mexico. Many of our American members come from energy-related industries such as pulp & paper, automotive, mining and minerals, chemicals, petroleum refining and oil production, and from the energy generation industry.
We also benefit from a Regional Network of 40 national and regional Business Councils for Sustainable Development (BCSD) and partner organizations involving some 1,000 business leaders globally. The USA also has a local BCSD located in Houston. Our Regional Network gives us a particularly strong platform in the developing world.
Our objective is to participate in policy development to create a framework that allows business to contribute effectively to sustainable development. We work to demonstrate business progress in environmental and resource management and corporate social responsibility and to share leading-edge practices among our members. We recognize the importance of global outreach to contribute to a sustainable future for developing nations and nations in transition.
To give a further idea of the scope of the WBCSD, member company turnover aggregates approximately 4,000 billion US dollars. The full market capitalization of the WBCSD members is close to 3,400 billion USD and they employ approximately 11 million people. Furthermore, our member companies combined touch about 2 billion customers daily, a third of the world's population, either through the sale of a product or the provision of a
From Stockholm to Johannesburg
The history of sustainable development is a modern one; it has been a 30 year journey. It started in 1972, when the UN Stockholm Summit took place, with a focus on the environment. Twenty years later, in 1992, at the Rio Earth
Summit, the focus broadened to include both environment and development. And in Johannesburg, at the World Summit for Sustainable Development (WSSD) last September, for the first time, a global summit looked at all three pillars of sustainable development in an integrated way.
The journey from Stockholm to Johannesburg has been focused on norms and principles for sustainable development. Johannesburg marks the start of a new phase with an emphasis on implementation of sustainable development. The Summit in Johannesburg was clearly marked by a shift from an environmental focus to the broader social and sustainability challenges. This is also changing how these issues are being managed. These issues are on the board-room agenda and are actively being integrated into brands and business models.
From 1992 to 2002, we could also witness a shift of the balance between the key elements of society. We have moved from a bipolar world made up of Governments and NGOs to a tripartite world of Governments, Business and Civil Society working in partnership to find solutions to sustainable development issues.
Setting the Scene: Post-Johannesburg Legacies
The WSSD left some important legacies:
1. SD Goals: It reconfirmed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the target for Official Development Assistance (ODA) of 0,7% of GDP that was agreed in Rio. These goals do surprisingly and unfortunately not address the need for access to energy for the 1.6 billion people who are currently not connected to an electric network. 80% of these live in South Asia and in Sub-
1. Saharan Africa
1 IEA, World Energy Outlook 2001
Agenda is a 2. The Plan of Implementation of Agenda 21: This
comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment. This
document was agreed upon by all of the governments that were represented at the Summit. It is long and tedious to read, but it gives a hint of where the government priorities lie. It is important to note that the successful implementation of Agenda 21 is highly dependent on providing access to energy for the poor.
3. Corporate Accountability: Corporate accountability was a key campaigning theme for NGOs in Johannesburg. However, they did not manage to get any strong language into the government declarations. Even so, it is a topic that will be of significance to the business community for a long time. Interestingly, the debate has also turned on the need for NGOs to become more
transparent and open.
4. The Multilateral System? The shortcomings of the international multilateral system were evident in Johannesburg, and its functionality was debated and challenged by governments. It is likely that there will be strong ambitions for reforms of the UN system with regard to SD. However, reforming the UN is not an easy task. From governments, there is very little appetite for another large world summit in the foreseeable future.
5. Partnerships: This was one of the prevalent themes of the WSSD. It is clear that no party can resolve the SD challenges on their own. So, what kind of partnerships do we see going forward?
Within Business
There is a growing interest from business to look at the sustainability performance and challenges for the whole value chain of an industry sector. They want to better understand future challenges in order to create more stable platforms for long-term investments, and to strengthen their "license to
operate". A typical example is the WBCSD Sector Projects. These are
projects conducted and funded by member companies that are jointly in one specific industry sector and that are interested in exploring SD issues in the entire supply chain of their industry. We currently have several projects in this category: forest products, mining and minerals, cement, and mobility. Companies can also influence the performance of their peers via voluntary, industry-specific standards, such as the chemical industry has done successfully with its Responsible Care program.
With Government
Sustainable development is a relatively new concept for which the proper framework conditions have yet to be established by governments. Business has to remain an active player in designing these policies and therefore should engage in open dialogues and partnerships with governments.
With Civil Society
The involvement of civil society (NGOs or other interest groups) in a company's efforts toward sustainable development is a way to gain credibility and the trust by the public. In addition, specialized NGOs provide expertise and new perspectives, which can help a company improve their sustainable development performance. However, we see a substantial problem with a lack of capacity and funding within the NGO community. Foundations, and particularly those of the US, have been a major source of funding for NGOs. However, with the foundations' endowment value having drastically declined, the issue has come further into focus.
Over the past years, the roles of Government, Business and Civil Society have changed:
; The power of Government has diminished
; Business has become an accepted and wanted partner in finding solutions. ; Civil society has switched from primarily activism and awareness creation
to engaging as a constructive partner in dialogues and solutions.
Going Forward
Looking toward the future, there are two sustainable development agendas that business needs to address.
; The first agenda is a Public Policy Agenda driven by forces outside of
business. This agenda is dealing with the framework conditions and
policies that are set by society for business. Key issues of the Public Policy
Agenda include topics like the following:
o Globalization and global governance
o Poverty eradication
o Sustainable production and consumption
o Health of the ecosystems
o Risk
o Role of innovation and technology
o Accountability and reporting
o Energy and climate change
Let me underline that this agenda is not something companies can choose
to deal with. It is coming our way whether we like it or not.
; The second agenda, the Business Agenda, is focusing on the Business
Case for Sustainable Development. It has to do with why corporate
sustainable behavior makes business sense.
Energy and Climate
Having set this background, I would now like to give a more detailed overview of the Energy and Climate debates going on at both national and regional levels. This topic is not just part of the Public Policy Agenda. Energy efficiency makes business sense, because it reduces cost. Therefore, it touches on the Business Agenda for Sustainable Development.
The challenges connected with Energy and Climate Change are numerous. I
am not going to elaborate on the content of scientific debates about cause and effects of the warming of our planet, since I assume that you are all well
informed about the situation. Rather, I would like to touch upon the connected policy discussions.
As opposed to a decade ago, the debate on energy and climate change now focuses considerably more on energy than on climate. Today, it is taken for granted that we must address climate change in some way. How we do that is highly dependent on the future energy infrastructure.
The IEA estimates that global energy demand will increase by 66% between 2000 and 2030. Their World Energy Outlook from last year gives a sobering perspective on this. The share of fossil fuels in primary energy demand with present energy policies will grow from 87% to 89% by 2030. Hydro and nuclear power are going down due to political constraints. Renewables are growing, but not fast enough to make up for the reduction in hydro and nuclear, which explains the increase in fossil fuel use.
To generate the electricity needed for this growth in energy demand 5,000GW generation capacity needs to be installed over the next 30 years, in order to both replace obsolete power stations and to catch up with the ever-increasing energy demand. To put this in perspective, the total installed electricity generating capacity today is 3,400 GW. To give you an idea how massive the amount of 5,000 GW is:
; A nuclear power station has normally 1GW of capacity
; A typical coal fired power station has a capacity of 350 MW, or 0.35 GW.
This means that 5,000 GW equals 5,000 nuclear power plants or
approximately 15,000 coal fired power stations, all to be installed in the next 30 years. Of course the capacity mix that will be installed will be very varied but there is limited time available to develop and install completely new technologies. The make-up of the portfolio of this new capacity will influence energy infrastructure for a very long period of time.
There is one fact in the climate debate that everyone seems to agree upon, namely, that the carbon concentration in the atmosphere is increasing and what cannot go on forever will eventually come to an end. Against this background, we could see a growing debate at the COP 8 (Eighth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) in Delhi in November 2002 about how to adapt to climate change.
We have entered a new era – a carbon-constrained world. We can assume
with much certainty that carbon emissions will therefore carry a cost in some form: Carbon taxes, emission reduction targets, research and development, and the introduction of new technologies.
Climate change is a global problem that needs a global response. However, we still lack an agreed global framework, which is creating uncertainties and is slowing down actions by business.
The Kyoto Protocol is a case in point. Ratification of the Protocol depends on Russia, but it is unclear when they will take a decision. Depending on Russia's decision, we could have a divided world: a Kyoto part and a non-Kyoto part. Or we could end up with a non-Kyoto world after six years of global negotiations.
What is the business community doing about climate change? Progressive business leaders are looking to stay ahead of the curve. They are addressing climate change through voluntary emissions limits, offset schemes, internal trading, and other forms of corporate voluntary activity that let them make use of market mechanisms to move beyond or ahead of regulation.
In the United States, for example, despite the government's decision to not ratify to the Kyoto Protocol, many U.S. companies have made their own commitments to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. DuPont, for instance, has committed to reducing its GHG emissions by 65 percent from a 1990 base, and by 2000 had already cut them by 60 percent.
The Chicago Climate Exchange is another example of corporations voluntarily reducing emissions. The voluntary cap-and-trade scheme includes fourteen participating organizations including companies from the energy, agricultural, forest product, chemical, electronics and service industries together representing 19 percent of GHG emissions in the US. They agreed and bound themselves to a voluntary emissions reduction of a total of 4% below baseline ( =average of emissions 1998-2001) by the end of 2006. When a company has reduced emissions by more than the prescribed cap, it can sell its credits to other members in the trading scheme who have not yet reached their target.
Also, government sponsored incentive programs encourage companies to improve their energy efficiency. The US Departments of Energy and
Environmental Protection Agency have pursued several significant programs, such as the appliance standards and the ENERGY STAR labeling program, aimed at improving the efficiency of appliances, buildings, computers and lighting. The EPA estimated in 1999 that $100 billion could be saved by Americans if the ENERGY STAR program was fully adopted.
We can also note an increased investment in R&D for new energy related technologies by both government and business.
Different countries and regional governments are moving ahead with their own emissions trading programs for GHGs. The UK government, for example, announced in July 2001 the world's first domestic emissions trading scheme with government support of $42 million in 2003-2004 to kick-start the scheme by providing a financial incentive for companies to take on binding emissions targets.
In Europe, efforts remain geared toward implementing the Kyoto Protocol. The EU has established a mandatory emissions trading scheme on a multilateral basis, which will be launched in 2005. The goal is in correspondence with the Kyoto Protocol: to reduce emissions by 7% below 1990 levels.

1 review. Add your own review.
Since I'm a self-professed Decimus fan I get the special treat of reviewing both of his Kelippah label's offerings today. First was the confrontational creepscapes of his collab LP with Tom Carter, and now I've got this one by Les Conversions, which is either a supergroup or a stripped down version of NNCK depending on how you look at it. Either way it's an impressive trio of No-Neckers Pat Murano (Decimus himself), Dave Shuford (D Charles Speer, Rhyton) and Jason Meagher (Coach Fingers, Black Dirt Studio). Cool, huh?
Anyway, on this LP we've got two lengthy electronic free-ambient improvisations where it's very hard to tell who is contributing what. There's lots of buzzing, twitching, noir drones and swelling, flickering details, much more restrained than the Murano/Carter collab and making me wish I hadn't already used up my Deathprod comparison on that one. Obviously other useful comparisons would be with NNCK and Decimus's other work, or maybe like Konntinent jamming with Supersilent in a haunted house or abandoned mental asylum or something? This is smooth and dark and totally sucks you into its silky black void, but it's not noisy and oppressive so much as flickering and spooky, it doesn't so much take you somewhere scary as go there with you.

Tax concerns over offshore-owned football clubs
Christian Aid has a dig at the financial opacity of football clubs
Christian Aid has a dig at the financial opacity of football clubs
Four of the UK biggest clubs have topped
Aid's football secrecy league, which looked at their financial and
ownership opacity.
Top of the list was Manchester United, followed by Tottenham Hotspur,
Manchester City and Liverpool.
The research looked into clubs' owners and where they were based. It found
that 14 Premier League clubs and five in the Championship are now based
"We are not suggesting that anything illicit or untwoard is taking place in
the clubs we identify…Our concern, however, is that the opaque nature of tax
havens masks the truth, whether or not there is anything to hide," stated
Christian Aid in its report.

This site is currently under construction. We are, however, pleased to say that the SMU 102 Digital Copywriting Unit is now open. We've also added Marketing Principles and an Intro to Public Relations. Our Content Marketing Unit is currently in development.
Now that we have covered branding, copywriting - and introduced you to the fundamentals of Marketing and Content Marketing - let's take a closer look at the craft of creating compelling digital stories.
Effective digital storytelling touches upon the core aspects of all the previous study units we've covered to-date.
We have found a brilliant, short, intensive free online course that covers the basics of what you need to know about digital storytelling. It's the Digital Storytelling Mary Washington's (UMW).
Digital Storytelling is an emerging term, one that arises from a grassroots movement that uses new digital tools to help ordinary people tell their own 'true stories' in a compelling and emotionally engaging form. These stories usually take the form of a relatively short story (less than 8 minutes) and can involve interactivity.
In other words, this course focuses more on short-form digital storytelling content.
The term can also be a broader journalistic reference to the variety of emergent new forms of digital narratives (web-based stories, interactive stories, hypertexts, fan art/fiction, and narrative computer games).
There are a number of ideas and assumptions here that are covered and interrogated over this course, namely the idea of "ordinary people", "true stories", and the debate around the meaning of this term. The Wikipedia article cited above is rather vague about the details surrounding this emerging genre of narrative, and it is our responsibility to examine the term digital storytelling within the cultural context of our moment.
This means each of you will be experimenting with your own digital platform for storytelling, as well as placing yourself within a larger narrative of networked conversation on the internet at large.
UMW's digital storytelling course experience will require you to both design and build an online identity and narrate your process throughout the ten week semester. Given this, you will be expected to openly frame this process and interact with one another throughout the course as well as engage and interact with the world beyond.
In many ways this course will be part storytelling workshop, part technology training and, most importantly, critical interrogation of the digital landscape all around us that is increasingly defining the the way we communicate with one another.
A few caveats, if you please.
You'll find the link to this course below.

Monday, 3 November 2014
After a morning of dashing about here and there I got home to find that the giant shower clouds were still looming on a regular basis
There were plenty of bright spells, but plenty of showers - some light and some much heavier
They seemed to have got much closer together at around dog walking time, so we decided it would have to be a speedy one
The dredger Margrethe Fighter moving out into the bay - to dump what she had dredged I assume
The massive cloud got closer and bigger
and stretched right across to the North coast
It was getting so dark that the sea looked much brighter. The rain arrived as we walked down the hill.

How many of us have had more than one Nintendo DS?
News from GDC: "You're buying a new DS". --- from Joystiq
I have had the original (big blue) for which I originally designed and knit this cozy for (rav link). Then I upgraded to my DS Lite (pinky) and now I have a DSi (blueberry) preordered.
Since my original cozy doesn't fit either of the smaller DSs, I needed to modify it and I have done so by FELTING!!! Woot!
During this process, I learned that my new washing machine really sucks at felting.

A super-resolution x-ray microscope combines the penetration power of x-rays with high spatial resolution, making it possible to shed light on the detailed interior composition of semiconductor devices and cellular structures. The first images were published online July 18 in the journal Science.
"Researchers have been working on such super-resolution microscopy concepts for electrons and x-rays for many years," said team leader Franz Pfeiffer, professor at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. "Only the construction of a dedicated multi-million Swiss-franc instrument at PSI's Swiss Light Source allowed us to achieve the stability that is necessary to implement our novel method in practice."
The new instrument, developed by a team of researchers from the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) and EPFL, uses a Megapixel Pilatus detector, making it possible to record detailed diffraction patterns while the sample is raster-scanned through the focal spot of the beam. In contrast, conventional x-ray scanning microscopes measure only the total transmitted intensity.
The diffraction data are then treated with an algorithm conceived by the Swiss team. "We developed an image reconstruction algorithm that deals with the several tens of thousands of diffraction images and combines them into one super-resolution x-ray micrograph," said PSI researcher Pierre Thibault, lead author on the publication. "In order to achieve images of the highest precision, the algorithm not only reconstructs the sample but also the exact shape of the light probe resulting from the x-ray beam."
According to the researchers, conventional electron scanning microscopes can provide high-resolution images, but usually only for the surface of the specimen, and the samples must be kept in vacuum. The Swiss team said its new super-resolution microscope bypasses the requirements, meaning that scientists will now be able to look deeply into semiconductors or biological samples without altering them.
It can be used to non-destructively characterize nanometer defects in buried semiconductor devices and to help improve the production and performance of future semiconductor devices with sub-hundred-nanometer features, the researchers said.
According to the PSI and EPFL teams, a further application of the technique is in high-resolution life science microscopy, where the penetration power of x-rays can be used to investigate embedded cells or sub-cellular structures.
Finally, the researchers noted that the approach can also be transferred to electron or visible laser light, and help in the design of new and better light and electron microscopes.

The sun is shining through thick pale platinum clouds and very small darting snowflakes are still falling, collecting in enormous piles of near-record snowfall. Today is almost a staggering -30 and the whole world seems encased in ice. If it were actually encased in ice, we might actually be warmer; igloo effects? Greenhouse effects? My understanding is they aren't too different.
I'm dreaming of a "dreadlock holiday". I want to be literally airlifted out of this frigid excuse for a city and into something closely resembling eden, where you can smell coconut in the air and vendors charge for photos of macaws on your shoulder.
Three years ago, February 2008 to be exact, my best friend and I went to the Dominican Republic and it was my first time away from the North American continent. For a week I was in subtle, wonderful paradise and I was completely in love, in awe, with the shiny turquoise of the ocean, the free drinks, the smiling, friendly staff and the Caribbean music playing seemingly, at all hours of the night. Something miraculous filled the air with happiness and warm sunny prospects of romance. It was completely new to me, being so far from home, feeling the sun in the middle of January, and I had actually never had a sunburn before I went to the Dominican Republic. I hadn't ever owned a bikini or tanned or snorkeled outdoors either, prior to that vacation. It was a once in a lifetime experience, the first time seeing wild palm trees, the skies looking so incredibly far away, warm humid rain falling for mere minutes, speckling piles of soft cool sand. Laying on a towel overlooking what appears to be the very edge of the world.
I'm comparing those warm, sunny thoughts with that of the crisp, horrendous winter day that sits outside my office window. I want – no – NEED – to get out of here. Or I'm going to lose my mind.

WWHHHHYYYY Heellllooo there!
So IM stressed. No letters. Again. WAIT! Thomas wrote me. what a dear friend. So transfers happend! AAANNNDDD.. I STAYED! Im still in Winnipeg YSA with SIster Reynders! I love her and we are SO excited! There is SOO much work to be done here-we are READY to rock and roll with it! SSOO over this last week- here are the updates.. uumm.. we went to this place called the "CLothes Closet", women donate dressy work clothes, shoes purses etc. and this CC takes them and hangs them then they have women who need nice clothes for interviews and such come in and they can choose 2 outfits!! Isnt that great! Its so nice for the women who are on the streets and what other circumstances they are in., I think its just wonderful they have that!
I learned the NEATEST thing this week. Its call a "Tim Tam Slam".. OOH be sitting for this.. its Great! What it is is a chocolate cookie sandwhich thing with chocolate on the outside.. its a rectangle- you bite off one corner at the top- then one off the opposite side at the bottom.. then you have hot chocolate- put part of the cookie at the bottom then drink out the other side of the cookie- making it 'melt'.. then once it starts to get soft you SLURP the cookie up.. yes. SLURP it up.. its SSSOOOO good.. I would send out a box to everyone i knew if i could! They MAY have them in the states. i HIGHLY recommend eating them and trying it.. ugh. this library doenst have a port where i can send pictures or videos.. hhmm.. ill need to fix that.. otherwise id send a video of me and Elder Schulte doing it!! its SSOOO good.. In the mornings Sister Reynders and I play basket ball with the Elders for Our exercise- they are the ones that introduced us. then we went over to a member named Amber, her house and had a "tim Tam Slam' party. There was about 9 or 10 of us.. I loved every second of it!! YIKES... ah im drooling THINKING about it.
So sis. Reynders and I were driving past this pond/lake thing and guess what we HAPPEN to see.. uumm.. guess about 700 CANADIAN GEESE!!! it was SOSSOOO neat! They were all just chillin- having a good ol time in the water and walking all over the grass.. dont worry- a picture was taken but ill have to send one later. ugh.
At this time we have like 3 investigators.. yup- digging at the very bottom of the barrel.- bless our hearts. but we are super excited and we KNOW we will improve on that! I am ready for it!
Today we went to check out "Muk-Luks" they are First Nation (Indians) boots. they are WAY neat.. but super expensive.. we drove about 40 minutes to get to this store that has them- we didnt buy any because sis. reynders wants to take time and pick the beadwork (im NOT getting any).. So anyhow. we pass the foodcourt and stop to get some nosh.. well i was all served up at this chinese place and find out they DONT take credit cards OR american dollars unless its exact amount- yeah lame, thats what I thought too.. so the lady tells me to go to the bank and get money. i cant leave without my companion- so just wait til shes done eating and were then about to leave the mall... the Chinese lady takes off her hat and aporn and tells me shes going to take me to the bank so i can pay for the food! WWHHAAT. so shes walks me there! Ugh. the food smelled good so i had to give in- but really- what in the world- shes walking me to pay for this cold food.. ugh. haha. i actually thought it was hilarious. anywade..
So my time is almost up on here. I wanted to share some of my reading from my personal studies.. I was reading in Alma 47 and it talks about Lehonti who is a king posted at the top of a mountain with his troops- how Amalickiah (bad guy just wanting power), asks him 3 times to come off his mountain. Every time Lehonti says no. then Amalickiah goes to almost the top of the mount and tells Lehonti to come down just to that point. well he does it and they scheme a plan that Lehonti will 'capture' amalickiahs city and he just wants to be 2nd in command. well this happens and then Amalickiah has Lehonti "poisoned by degress"until he is slowly killed- then Amalickiah is in charge.. SO point of the story is for us NEVER to come down from our mountains. Never give in and give up our standards.. Never.
Second thing i learned in my morning studies.. I have been reading a lot about the Chris LIke attributes- i LOVe them. Well Charity is my favorite for sure.. I was reading and this may be something you already knew, but it really hit me.. Charity is preventing sins. Charity is the pure love of Christ. if we have Charity- we dont want to hurt ANYbody. and when we sin someone ALWAYS gets hurt.. weather its us, our spouces, family, friends.. whomever.. so if we have charity we will NOT want to sin because we KNOW it will hurt someone! UGH. i LOVE that. think of Christ- he loved EVERYONE and wanted to hurt noone.. and he didnt want to disappoint his father so in a sense that would be pretty easy for him not to sin- He loved others so much more!aahh.. ilove that!
ANOTHER thing.. sister Reynders pointed out to me.. we were talking about descions we make.. well think about this- "would what im doing or watching be suitable for a child to do/watch?" if the answer is NO then why is it ok for us? we have spirirts just as lil children have them. just because we were exposed to things before doesnt mean its ok if we continue that.. really.. would you allow your lil 3 year old to smoke, drink, watch movies with naughty parts in it? well then why are you? wouldnt it hurt us just the same? aahh.. i love that. realizing how HUGE of an impact we have on our tender lil kids.. we really need to think about it. even if they are grown up- they will stlil watch the things we do.
Ok. so i have 2 minutes left. I do have a request from ANYONE that wants to be so kind.. I would like Crest White strips. Here they are over 50$ for the ones that are like 30$ in the states! YIKES.so if anyone will buy them for me and mail them- i can pay you!! Thanks much. I have to go. I love you all and im so excited about this gospel! Thank you for all your love and support!! Love you!
Love sister Horning

Do you live as if you are forgiven or as if you are guilty. I know how I act when I feel guilty about things. I cower. I get worried. I get scared. I'm not myself. My mom says that I've never been good at being "sneaky". You can see when I feel guilty.
Does the world think that you are acting guilty or forgiven? When we know we are forgiven, we act better to the rest of the world. We are less judgmental and more loving. Live into the new covenant. Live into the reality that Jesus has saved you. Given the ultimate sacrifice. Paid the ultimate price.
Redeemer! Savior! Lord! Thank you for paying the price for us! Thank you for forgiving us! Let us live into your forgiveness and show the world your love! In YOUR name! Amen

The signing deadline for drafted players is August 14th. We may not know for sure on some of the drafted players whether they're going to sign or not until close to that deadline.
Current Tigers Drafted
■ Matt Stites was drafted by the San Diego Padres organization as the 533rd overall pick in the 17th round of the MLB Draft.
■ Matt Stites was drafted by the San Diego Padres organization as the 533rd overall pick in the 17th round of the MLB Draft.
It appears almost a certainty that Stites will sign with the Padres and move on to the next part of his career. On Twitter Tuesday night, he posted this: @MUBallaz: Off to the #Padres! Couldn't be happier! Thanks for all the good wishes!
■ Phil McCormick was drafted by the San Francisco Giants organization as the 957th overall pick in the 31st round of the MLB Draft.
Lafayette alum picked by Giants (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)■ Conner Mach was drafted by the New York Yankees organization as the 1409th overall pick in the 46st round of the MLB Draft.
Lafayette grad Phil McCormick, a senior left-hander at the University of Missouri, was picked by the San Francisco Giants in the 31st round (No. 957 overall).
McCormick went 8-2 with eight saves and a 3.50 ERA, leading the Tigers in wins, saves and ERA, in 61 2/3 innings as a senior. He struck out 56 batters, walked 32 and allowed 53 hits.
Mizzou's Mach gets picked (St. Louis Post-Dispatch)
The Yankees selected University of Missouri junior infielder and Parkway West High graduate Connor Mach in the 46th round (No. 1,409 overall).
Mach started a team-high 58 games for the Tigers this season and batted .288 with 12 doubles, one triple, 31 RBI, 30 runs scored, 11 stolen bases and a .383 on-base percentage.
Mach's older brother, Kyle, who also played at Missouri, was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 27th round in 2009.
■ Zach Hardoin was drafted by the Houston Astros organization as the 1420th overall pick in the 47th round of the MLB Draft
Draft updates: Familiar names part of Astros' Day 3 group (Houston Chronicle)
While today is mostly about filling out rosters for their three short-season minor league clubs, the Astros won't be against finding a ballplayer or two.
They may have found a few in their own backyard – or at least their own metropolitan statistical area – on Day 3.
. . .
And they dipped into the local pool again in the 44th round, taking Lamar University righthander Blake Ford, a Lufkin High School alum and in the 47th round, taking Missouri lefty Zack Hardoin, who played at Klein Collins.
Mizzou Recruits in the Draft
■ Jeff Soptic, RHP, was drafted by the Chicago White Sox organization as the 110th overall pick in the 3rd round of the MLB Draft.
This was no surprise. Soptic was expected to be drafted high, and is expected to sign.■ Brandon Platts, RHP,was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates organization as the 392nd overall pick in the 13th round of the MLB Draft.
Some posts on Twitter seemed to indicate people who know him expect him to still go to Mizzou■ Brett Graves, RHP, was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals organization as the 800th overall pick in the 26th round of the MLB Draft.
According to an article in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the other day, it looks like Brett and his father are prepared to take a careful look at which option provides the best long-term "opportunity" for him. It will be harder to choose since it was his hometown Cardinals that drafted him.
An article in this morning's Post-Dispatch quotes Graves: "I don't think I could go wrong either way," Graves said. "It's going to be with good coaching, good support, good facilities, good everything to make myself better. It will come down to what they can offer. ... As of right now I'm a Missouri Tiger."
■ I like this quote from a fan with close ties to the Tigers, @GoJL16 on Twitter
Can u say "Legion of Doom" RT:"@MUTigerBaseball: Tough choices for Soptic, Platts, & @BGraves05. Will be a stout staff if they make it to MU

I thought I was picking an easy recipe this morning, but boy was I wrong! I guess it wasn't that it was difficult, more that it seemed to take a long time. The most time consuming part of it all was shelling the peanuts. When all is said and done, it is a delicious recipe. Just make sure if you are going to make it that you have some time on your hands.
First place some peanuts in a pan, then cover them with boiling water
Once they have cooled and you are able to handle the peanuts, the long process begins!
Start to crack them open and pick out the nuts.
Allow the peanuts to dry on a paper towel.
When you are done with picking the nuts out of the shells, and after they have dried,
place the nuts on a sheet pan and cover with oil and butter and roast in the oven.
When they look good and brown, place in a brown paper bag with salt. Shake to coat, then cut the bag open and allow to cool. Finally you are ready to enjoy!
Fresh oven roasted peanuts!

On Monday the FTSE 100 hit a 14-year-high close and the S&P 500 hit an intraday high, as equity markets continued to move onwards and upwards without any overriding driving force behind them. On the other hand, currency markets appear to be stagnating as they wait for meaningful input of economic data to stimulate opinion.
Today's quarterly GDP figures from Germany have come out in line with the markets expectations and, as such, have done nothing to strengthen the euro. Currency traders will no doubt be hoping that Friday's release of the CPI flash estimates will have a greater effect.
This month, inflation around the EU is expected to be 0.7%, down from the previous month's 0.9%, and continuing the downward trend the region has failed to reverse since late 2011.
For the time being it appears that EUR/USD may remain rangebound.

JULY 4th GLAMPING
This photo is actually from a glamping adventure my daughter, Robin, and I enjoyed in 2012. We spent five days by the Dolores River at Priest Gulch Campground, nearby to my house here in southwest Colorado. We were there on the holiday as well and just enjoyed the daylights out of the holiday . . . and the entire time we were there!

My heart continues to pound, I am aware that my stress level keeps rising. I am plugging away at my 'to do'list, and I believe I am moving forward, but the more I accomplish, the longer the list appears.
There are so many ways that I am incredibly lucky. I had dinner with Rina and her family. She is the psychiatrist who is taking over my patients at one of my offices. She has three lovely daughters and an entertaining husband. I met her and her husband at Petit Louis a few weeks ago, and this time Maya came to meet two of her daughters, Chrysalis, 16 and Caroline, 8. Maya immediately connected with Chris, who came in her dance clothes after a day at dance camp at Towson University. Caroline and Maya shared a steak together, I talked shop with Rina and her husband, who is also a psychiatrist, and Sharon sat between the children, entertained by their chatter. We celebrated the smooth transition of my practice. Rina is kind and capable and I trust her to take good care fo my patients, which relieves me!
I am pleased with Teri too. She is a nurse practitioner who is taking care of many of my patients as well. I have been meeting with her these past months, because I am her physician collaborator, and because she is just starting her practice and adjusting to her private office. Again I feel lucky that I can trust her with my patients, whom I care deeply for. I can close my practices and leave knowing that my patients are in good hands.
And it is warm and wonderful and generous to be in Daphne's and Julien's household. It took a few days to accustom myself to the pace, but I am doing better now, and although Emily's house is spacious and comfortable and I wish I had not tripped the alarm and scared myself to smithereens, I survived that experience without an arrest, and am recovering now. I feel silly about the adventure, but it is past me, and I am none the worse for it all.
Maya is quiet or irritable. Her stress level reflects my own.Our lives are so unusual, and we have no real home, and all is in chaos, and it is tough for her. She did not want to come to dinner tonight, but once with Rina's family, she was giddy and over the top. She thanked me later for pushing her to join me.
I finally started getting my bags organized for Ecuador. How do I decide what to bring for a whole year? What does one need? It is spring all year in Quito, but that means variable weather, with rain and sun and fog and wind and warmth and cold all in one day. I packed at least fourteen pairs of underwear for Maya, and dozens of Tshirts. How many Tshirts does she really need? Will I have access to a washing machine and a dryer? Eric stresses that we will not have enough money to purchase more than food and the basics. What are the basics? Most importantly, what books do I bring? The bags I have are small, so I will have to purchase some large suitcases to accommodate all that I plan to bring. I consolidated and coordinated and am feeling confident that I will manage to put it all together. The original plan was to spread all the stuff all over Emily's living room and take my time deciding. I am in a small space ( I have Belina' bedroom, the three children sleep in Marius's room) but I believe I can do it here, and progress is happening.

The capping operation in gold is going right on schedule, the Banksters have decided we will all go to Hell rather than allow gold to close above 1440. This is fine by me because when they finally can hold it no longer price will explode higher in big jumps. Nothing has changed with PHYS, the real bullion fund. Resistance is still 12.66 and support is 12.42. Price is at the top of the lower channel that has contained price action for the last 2 months.If we breakout here we will be into the upper horizontal channel. RSI is tracking down the neutral line while stochastic is climbing from the over-sold area.
Silver continues to kick ass and refuses to collapse. PSLV closed near the high of the day right at resistance of 17.85. Support is now the swing low made last Friday at 17.29. RSI is hanging around over-bought at 70, nothing new there. Stochastic has crossed back above 80 and is technically over-bought, nothing new there. MACD is not offering anything of value. It is times like this when the Elder Impulse chart really becomes useful. The chart identifies changes in momentum and gives signals as to when it is advantageous to enter and exit trades. The chart painted a green bar, indicating entry for long trades. To render this signal, both the 13 day exponential moving average and the MACD histogram bar must be greater than the day before. In this case the histogram bar is barely greater, almost indistinguishable from Friday's. So the bar is "barely" green. If the histogram bar is smaller tomorrow, the price bar will again revert to blue. The all time high awaits at 18.20. the premium to NAV is now 20%. Why do you think people are willing to pay a 20% premium to own the silver in PSLV. Because they wish to own metal and not paper. The paper price is too low by 20% I would bet.

Get a Police Clearance Certificate through the Qatar Crisis
Over a month has gone by since Qatar crisis began with several people in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) announcing an entire severance of diplomatic ties with Qatar. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Egypt and the Uae led just how by imposing an entire land, air and sea blockade, forcibly isolating Qatar by reviewing the neighbouring GCC states and expelling Qatari nationals. Needlessly to say, this make an effort to force Qatar's compliance making use of their demands through economic destabilisation has been largely ineffective, while life continues on as always for the people of Qatar.
Do you need a Police Clearance Certificate from Qatar?
However, the crises could lead to an increase in requirement for Qatar Police Clearance Certificates (PCC) through the Criminal Evidences and data Department (CEID) in the Ministry of Interior (MOI) in Qatar. These are generally documents which detail all criminal offences committed after a person's stay in a rustic or serve as evidence that individual does not have any criminal history. PCCs are expected for immigration proceedings and employment applications, so any foreign national who is already a homeowner of Qatar or has lived in Qatar would need a Qatar Police Clearance Certificate to look for work or make an application for immigration and citizenship abroad.
Those who once held a Residency Permit (RP) for Qatar really have the option for applying through the Qatari Embassy inside their current country of residence, though it's not an option for individuals that held a company visa, work visa, family visa or tourist visa. Meanwhile, those who are not sufficiently fortunate to get get access to a Qatari embassy cannot look at this an option, no matter the form of visa they held.
The simplest way to get your PCC
Thankfully, there is certainly another solution for former Qatari visitors or residents who need to acquire a Qatar Police Clearance Certificate; one far less time-consuming and problematic than applying through a Qatari embassy or Ministry of Interior. A number one Qatar consultancy company provides Police Clearance Certificates through the condition of Qatar and unlike other less reputable companies, they are a government-recognised organisation and highly experienced with such matters.
Plushill manage their client's entire PCC application from a to z, providing careful tips on common pitfalls such as documentation and evidence. This provider offers complete peace of mind for their team of legal experts will rectify any mistakes as they be visible on the certificate before issuing the crooks to their customers and the entire process takes only a week to complete.
The best PCC service for those visitors and residents of Qatar
All current and past Qatari visitors or residents are eligible to apply using this service, irrespective of where they currently reside or what type of visa they hold. Trust Plushill to get your Qatar Police Clearance Certificate http://www.qatarpoliceclearance.com/ ; they'll make every one of the necessary arrangements for your benefit, make certain that your certificate is error-free and make sure it really is delivered inside the fastest possible time.
