Congratulations to the M events team, who picked up three Stevie awards at the International Business Awards 2019. A lot of hard work and a healthy dose of creativity helped us bring home two Golds in the Conferences & Meetings category for the Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference 2018 and the Zero Emission Vehicle Summit 2018 and a Silver in the Cause & Green Event category.
Competition was fierce, with a record 4,000 entries from over 70 countries, but M stood out for its innovation in delivering sustainable events at scale to achieve maximum social impact.
The Illegal Wildlife Trade Conference London 2018, the largest international conference of its kind, was managed and delivered by M for the UK Government and brought together global leaders to agree measures to tackle criminal wildlife traders and protect the world's most endangered species from the threat of extinction.
The Zero Emissions Vehicle Summit 2018 was a world first for the UK and represented the commitment of former Prime Minister Theresa May to ensuring the UK leads the world in reducing net carbon emissions. The Summit kick started the Government's Road to Zero strategy, which aims to accelerate the development of a global zero-emission vehicle market.
The Stevie awards cap a record breaking 2018 for M, in which the company won the largest number of awards in its 30-year history, across all its expertise sectors: digital, experiential and communications. Success at the IBAs is an encouraging reflection of the company's continued focus on sustainability across all areas of the business.
Nigel Engeham, M's Sales Director said:
"It is our goal to create extraordinary relationships through experiences. In this case it was ensuring that the UK government remains at the forefront of efforts to reduce emissions from vehicles or increasing the awareness of how the illegal wildlife trade continues to impact our natural world.
These awards are a testament to M's dedication and commitment towards creativity, innovation in supporting initiatives that drive positive social impact.
We are proud of the relationships we have built with the UK government over the past ten years, and I would like to thank them for their trust and belief in our creativity and production quality."
John Young, M's Executive Creative Director said:
"The creative and production departments at M are delighted to be able to deliver creativity that raises the profile of important initiatives such as these. Our dedicated creatives love being part of this type of project, pushing the boundaries on behalf of our clients, while delivering thought provoking and considered projects that create positive effects. It's a privilege to have won such an auspicious international award, especially for a project so close to our hearts."

With holiday breaks from school just around the corner, kids and adults will likely be spending more time on their smartphones and tables while relaxing at home. Here are tips to help protect your eyes:
- Take breaks: Decrease your screen time or take frequent breaks. Remember the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away from 20 seconds to give your eye muscles a break.
- Blinking: Make sure to take full blinks when looking at screens. People tend to blink far less often than when looking
- Limit screen time before bed: Evidence shows that using screens before bed disrupts the circadian cycle, or sleep-wake cycle, since blue light inhibits release of melatonin, the hormone that makes us sleep
- Posture/Screen: Sit upright the looking at screens with eyes looking down at about 45 degrees, adjust the brightness to the lowest level at which you can see clearly, and use a text size large enough to easily read.
- Use filters: Screen filters are available for smartphones, tablets and computer screens that will decrease the amount of blue light given off from devices that could reach the retinas
- Lenses: Rx Optical offers BluTech lenses which protect from overexposure to blue light and improves contrast, clarity, visual acuity and night vision, and, most importantly, improves your quality of sleep
- Eye tests: Have regular comprehensive eye exams to monitor for any changes in vision that could be affected by screen usage

On the Farm
Many of Casually Gourmet's recipes were developed right in our own farm kitchen. We don't grow enough anymore to be a primary ingredient supplier for our products, but we do establish the ingredient quality and freshness standards. Our family likes keeping this blog about Vermont farming, growing techniques, and rural living. These traditions are reflected in our food business.
I knock down the winter rye cover crop using a bush hog, but a sickle bar or roller would be a better way to create the thick mat you need for no-till pumpkins. One day I saw an old Jari machine
October 16 2011, 1 CommentPlanting the Cover Crop
A fall cover crop benefits soil quality and fertility. With chemical fertilizer applications so costly, "green manure" has become essential on our farm. The mixture of choice is winter rye and hairy vetch. We try to get it planted just as soon the primary crop is harvested

|I found this sweet, vibrant Four-o'clock plant while in Lake Oswego a few weeks ago.
The camera doesn't do it justice.
|These aren't new plants but the combination is new because
I spent a good portion of my spring moving plants around. I think these two
(Galega and Phlox) are quite neighborly.
|One of the perils of plant-addiction is having a huge pile of tags to sift through.
My efforts to locate the name of this tender succulent have failed.
|I'm sure one of you knows its idenity. About two weeks ago the buds appeared and then,
in the blink of an eye, voila, a bazillion little daisies!
|This is Clerodendrum 'bungei' freshly blooming.
|Remember me mentioning Impatiens glandulifera a few posts back?
Well, I've got a few nicely blooming plants now. So cool!
|In addition to buying plants, we sometimes have a gardening friend who shares.
This is exactly why I have these lovely cannas.
My generous friend Cate knows how I love pink!
|My Morina longifolia is also a newbie this year. And look!
It's blooming!
|My Rudbeckia 'Cherry Brandy' and seed-sown Bachelor Buttons
are growing together nicely.
|Visiting a local, out-of-the-way nursery last week, I spotted this Phlox.
I somehow convinced myself (with minimal effort) that I "needed" it.
|My Star Magnolia is putting out a few summer blossoms.
|Terracycle plant food. You can read more about it here.
|I had to post this photo. Years ago I dug out and gave away my Yucca 'Color Guard.'
Of course I soon regretted it. Look how karma has rewarded me!
|I was worried the my 'Tiger Eyes' Sumac (Rhus) didn't survive transplanting. Here it is, Joy.
Silly me!

These guidelines form the basis of education for their relatives. These principles are founded by Ken Alexander in Melbourne, Australia. Now in many countries.
The Ken Alexander is an Australian scientist, who, having had the experience of mental illness in its own family, he devoted himself to the education of families and associates developed a volunteer training method showing how to tackle a mental illness in the family.
Realize that mental illness is not a rare disease. It may seem so, but that is because not accustomed to openly discuss this issue. Hide.
Learn what you can about mental disorders, the causes, course, the outcome of their treatment.
Never enter the guilt process. This can destroy forever the chance of proper treatment of the disease. You can destroy you, yourself, will get rid of your guilt when informed that according to modern theories families do not cause mental illness and are not responsible for the genesis of.
Try to find the most appropriate professional to help you. Identify the kindness and their support, their desire to inform you and their willingness to consider you their partner. Identify the capacity they have to transmit your sure the right knowledge that will help you to understand and treat mental illness.
Get in touch with a self-help group for families who have a member suffering from the mental illness.
Admit that in a complex disease such as mental illness, our instinctive spontaneity, is often a wrong driver for the management of the disease and patient care. We are relatives, we need first of all education.
Try to discover the causes and sources of pressures from which we suffer relatives.
Treat carefully the needs of other family members.
Note that the absolute limits and without sacrifice for our relative who suffers from mental illness does not necessarily lead to effective care and treatment of.
We must realize that to consume unlimited time with our relative who suffers from mental illness, is not always beneficial to the sometimes may worsen the condition.
Create and maintain friendships, activities and pleasant leisure especially in places outside your home.

GO1, which has created an online platform through which individuals and organisations can find or create courses, has raised $10 million in a Series A round led by Seek, with participation from investors including Our Innovation Fund.
Launched in 2014, Brisbane startup GO1 allows users to browse its marketplace of courses, covering everything from compliance to onboarding and personal development, or create their own.
The startup reports it now hosts more than 500,000 courses and learning resources, with more than 22 million users across clients including Cricket Australia and Adshel having access to its content. The funding will go towards expanding GO1 into new markets.
With Seek a customer of the startup, the investment follows the companies earlier this year partnering to integrate GO1 courses into Seek's jobs platform.
This integration sees a job seeker presented with relevant courses from GO1 while going through the job search process; if a role requires a particular educational or training requirement, such as first aid skills for example, a corresponding GO1 course will surface.

Regulatory and permit framework for drones to be enhanced
The regulatory and permit framework for unmanned aircraft operations is being strengthened to reduce safety and security risks.
This will kick in from June 1 after the required legislative processes are completed, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Singapore Police Force (SPF) in a joint release.
The Unmanned Aircraft (Public Safety and Security) Bill has been introduced for First Reading in Parliament on Monday, which proposes amendments to the Air Navigation Act (ANA) and Public Order Act to manage public safety and security risks from unmanned aircraft operations.
The Air Navigation Order (ANO), a subsidiary legislation of the ANA, is also being amended.
Among other things, the enhanced framework seeks to prohibit drones from carrying hazardous materials such as weapons, and any bio-chemical or radioactive material. In addition, unmanned aircraft will not be able to discharge any substance without a permit. Permits will also be required to fly or operate an unmanned aircraft that weighs more than 7kg.
Where protected areas are concerned, flying an unmanned aircraft over a security sensitive area or taking photographs from unmanned aircraft will also require a permit.
Penalties would be incurred for offences.
"The enhancements to the regulatory and permit framework and the guidelines are interim steps to address immediate safety and security issues, pending the government's ongoing study of an appropriate framework to facilitate and promote the use of unmanned aircraft for public and commercial purposes, and which will also be able to adequately address safety, security and privacy concerns," the release said.
The Ministry of Transport has been spearheading an inter-agency committee to facilitate this.

WASHINGTON, January 24, 2014 – We've been getting hints for the last two weeks that all was not well on Wall Street as the New Year began. But now, concrete proof has begun to rear its ugly head. After the market's precipitous dive yesterday—which exempted only precious metals and a few selected REITs—the stock market's massive cliff dive resumed this morning with a vengeance, with very few stocks escaping damage in today's ongoing bloodbath.
The Dow has been down well over 200 points at various stages this morning, with the broader S&P 500 off a sickening 23.43 points around noon today.
The catalysts for the market's current swan dive are numerous and growing. First off, China's financial markets—only slightly less opaque than the Obama Administration but still vying for first place—look like they might be about to experience their first Lehman Brothers/Bear Stearns moment.
This, in turn, has begun to make a large bloc of investors seriously nervous about Third World ("emerging markets") currency issues, leading to massive selloffs in currency investments and foreign stockholdings, including mutual funds and foreign (non-U.S.) ETFs, all of which are looking more like road kill by the minute.
But wait! There's more!
Even as foreign exchange markets get nervouser and nervouser, Argentina has just added to this nasty stew by devaluing its currency. On one level, this is no surprise, as Argentina's socialist pals in Venezuela have already done this and its only logical for both countries which seem eager to give away to the voting poor massive amounts of money these governments never had to begin with. (Anything sound familiar here?)
On the other hand, the Argentinian actions—which the current Peronist administration is trying to spin as no action at all—has roiled the markets further, particularly Spanish banks which are heavily invested in the South American country. Which in turn is causing heartburn in the European banking sector. Etc., etc. It's a minor panic, at least at the moment, but a panic nonetheless.
The only sector that currently seems to be benefiting is U.S. Government bonds, oddly enough, once again viewed as the strongest bet among nothing but bad government and currency bets. It's a bit like a monetary Theory of Relativity. Dollars and U.S. Government bonds are lousy, too, but they're less lousy (or more cleverly managed) than others. For investors, this seems like about the only place left to hide, which is rather pathetic if you think about it.
Of course, the market also hasn't been helped by lousy post-Christmas retail sales reports, store closings, and zero growth in full time employment. Which is zero surprise, as we've been warning for two years, given Obamacare's obvious discrimination against employers who put individuals in jobs requiring over 29 hours of work per week.
Actually, Obamacare is the real reason for the market weakness, in the U.S. at least. The papers and the lamestream media won't tell you this, of course, because the likes of the New York Times and the Washington Post, not to mention the latest issue of the AARP newsletter are all shilling for Obamacare and are incredibly adept at spinning everything into a big positive.
But, in fact, in 2014, mass quantities of personal income will be redirected toward the healthcare sector. All other sectors will slump as a result, particularly retail, resulting in more unemployment and less tax collection. It's a vicious circle, and yet another reason why, at long last, the U.S. has begun to resemble the perpetually chaotic regimes in countries like Venezuela and Argentina.
People are starting to wake up to this fact, which is why we're getting off to a very bad start in 2014. We are getting exactly the kind of government the Low Information Voters wanted in 2012. Whatever happens in 2014 is likely to be immaterial. If we don't get a complete party turnover in 2016, the U.S. as we have always known it is DOA, and we'll become another member of the Banana Republic Club.
This, too, has the markets roiled. Nouriel Roubini, another one of Wall Street's serial "Dr. Dooms," stated at Davos that this whole scenario is beginning to look like 2014. The Maven prefers to call it our "Rosenkavalier" moment, although non-opera fans may not relate. At any rate, however you describe it, this is clearly the end of an era.
Meanwhile, America's vanishing middle class just sits there and watches as the hard work of entire lifetimes goes off the cliff or down into an ever-widening sinkhole. Choose your own metaphor to describe it.
In the meantime, we're getting a preview of what this might mean on Wall Street today. Whether it's a short-term correction or the beginning of another Bear Market, it somehow still seems like the worst is yet to come.
Today's trades:
None, really. If you haven't hedged with some kind of short or double-short position, it's probably best to wait for at least a mini-snapback rally to put one on. Classic hedges the Maven uses are the short and double-short S&P 500 ETFs, SH and SDS; and a new one that's been unearthed by one of our investment services, a bearish ETF with a complex structure, symbol HDGE, a small bit of which we put on at market open today.
SH moves rather slowly and has not always been effective for us, while SDS move like lightning one way or another and you have to catch it just right—and we missed the train on this one this morning.
As always, if you hedge with these positions, you or your broker need to keep a close eye on them. SH and HDGE are geared to be slightly longer term positions, but SDS is so fast you have to move in and out and can get killed if someone isn't watching.
In any event, if things continue this badly next week, we'll get an almost inevitable snapback rally. But if fundamentals still look bad, this rally is the time to unload longs and get into vehicles like SH, SDS, and HDGE. Travel at your own risk, however, as most investors are still uncomfortable with the process of making money on the downside.

Each issue of the Macalester Today alumni magazine highlights books recently published by Mac students, alumni, and faculty. This fall's collection includes The Half-Life of Everything (Bancroft Press, 2018) by Deborah Carol Gang '72, excerpted below:
"David, why did we stop keeping cats?"
David struggled to sound calm as he answered, "I don't know. The last cat died and Dylan arrived. We just never got back to cats, I guess."
"I love these cats," she said emphatically.
There was a crispness here, faint and missing for so long, but detectable. He didn't trust his legs and wanted to sit but couldn't imagine navigating his body even a few inches.
"But I could probably learn to love a new one."
"Oh, Katie, I'm sure you could."
He looked at the ceiling, hoping for control. Kate held out her arms and after he covered the short distance to sit beside her, he began to cry and then sob. She held him and, after a long while, she tried to dry his face with tissues. Then he reached for the box so he could dry where he'd drenched her. They both blew their noses, the pile of wet tissues growing in their laps. Kate studied him and said, "Poor David."
"Well, you haven't exactly been at your best either, you know," and they smiled at each other and then laughed,or perhaps he was crying again, he couldn't tell.

The Secret Code Hoax

The Kitchen Debate
Three Scholars Discuss a Major New Book on History and the Bible
When we received a copy of Kenneth A. Kitchen's new book, On the Reliability of the Old Testament, we knew that we should review it. Kitchen is one of the world's leading scholars (he specializes in Egyptology), and the subject matter of the book—how historically accurate is the Bible?—is of central interest to many of our readers. We asked Ronald Hendel, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley and a columnist for our sister magazine, Bible Review, to review it for us.

I've had this recipe forever - you can tell it's old because the 3x5 card is splattered and oiled and just plain groddy. But the recipe is great and keeps me from throwing out old bananas that I paid good money for! Occasionally I will add a little extra something: this time it was butterscotch chips. You can see them melting and oozing from the top of the loaf:
Firstborn ate the last piece this morning warmed in the microwave with butter.
It's fair to say he loves this banana bread (:
Ridiculously Simple Banana Bread
1 1/4 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
2 eggs
1/2 c. oil
1 c. sugar (or less if your bananas are very ripe)
2 ripe bananas
1/2 c. chopped nuts-optional
1/2 c. chocolate chips- optional (I used butterscotch)
Warm banana bread and butter...yuuummm..smells like Fall...

If Marc puts his faith in me I can't be scared to perform. I have to take the opportunity.Hannah Hampton
She has signed a contract to the end of the 2019/20 season.
The England Under-19 international is considered one the game's brightest prospects.
"I'm really delighted to have signed," she said. "Since I came here at Under-16 it has been one of my dreams to sign professionally with the Club."
The move by Blues has been in the pipeline for some time but came to fruition recently.
"It was after the West Ham United game, after my birthday really. Marc Skinner said he was looking to give me a contract because I had earned it.
"So it was a really nice birthday present."
Hampton, who turned 18 last month, said she believed the application she has shown helped her secure the contract.
"I have just had to train the best I can (to get to this point). You are not going to train perfectly every single day. It's about your attitude and reaction to disappointment and stuff.
"And that was a problem for me to begin with, but I feel like I am improving, and the Club can see that.
"And training with Ann has improved me so much that I have become a better player and I feel that has also helped me to get to where I am."
The influence of Ann-Katrin Berger has undoubtedly aided Hampton's development.
"She is a world class 'keeper and to train with her day in, day out, you learn so much. And you see how she does her training and how you can take some of what she does and use it. Even the smallest details she picks up on and helps me."
Hampton said she still has 'a lot to improve on' and by listening to and being helped and coached by Skinner and Tony Elliott, Blues Women Goalkeeper Coach, 'they will help me be the best I can',
"This level is the level I want to play at week in, week out," said Hampton, who began playing for Villarreal after the family moved to Spain and returned to join Stoke City Ladies, where Skinner drafted her in from.
"I do feel comfortable in the WSL, once I had a few games.
"If Marc puts his faith in me I can't be scared to perform. I have to take the opportunity.
"He has been amazing. He has always said from day I joined the Club that if you train better you will play. He has always put his faith in youngsters: Connie Scofield when she was coming through, Shania Hayles and myself.
"He is not afraid to play the people who deserve a spot."
Hampton said her immediate aims were: "This season, getting more game time and experience and improving week in, week out. The consistency of performances.
"It would be nice if we could win some cups, win a league or progress into the Champions League. That would be amazing.
"The whole team are really dedicated to win something. Especially with Marc as Manager; we have not wanted anything as much as this season.
"In the long run I'd like to get myself as a number one 'keeper in the WSL and to progress through the England age groups."

I dare you to dig deep for your stories...I double DARE you.
When you think of finding stories, you likely have found out that stories can be everywhere. They can be events that happened to you a long time ago, or simple moments that are very recent and taught you a life lesson. If you took a logical approach to finding stories in the past, I'll challenge you to take a slightly different approach – get emotional.
Many speakers fail to make an emotional connection with their audience, because they develop their story, then try to add areas that can evoke emotion. Here's something to try – reverse the process. Instead of thinking of emotion after, start with it. Begin by "Finding the Feeling Place" - search for specific emotions, then ask, "What story brought that out of me?" For this blog, think of the acronym D.A.R.E. For 4 specific emotions to feel, then bring the corresponding story out from.
I took my first Uber ride in 2016. I wasn't avoiding the company for any particular reason. However, I just thought I'd try something new.
After the ride, I decided one thing: I'm not going back to regular taxi cab rides ever again.
Why? Is it because the Uber ride was so much better? Was the driver the nicest person I'd ever driven with? Did they give me superior service?
None of the above. Sure, the app is cool – you can look at exactly where your driver is and follow them online as they get closer to you. And yes, the driver was friendly. The service was pretty good too. However, the reason I'll go with Uber is simple – the ride was cheaper.
Nothing mind-boggling. The ride was cheaper, the app is cool, I'm going with Uber over taxi. Along with thousands of others. Why?
How to Find a Speech Topic
Not sure what to speak about? This is a common problem I get asked when it comes to storytelling. There are endless places to get your stories, but here are just a few:
Finding Speech Topics comes down to your 5Fs
"Courage is fear holding on a minute longer." (George S. Patton)
Do you have courage? As a speaker, your answer is absolutely yes. Just standing up on stage as we know, is something that most people will never attempt to do. However, speaking is the start of courage – what you speak about is when it really turns to bravery.
There are still speakers that will not touch certain topics in their own lives. That is a shame because they are missing out on an opportunity for true connection with their audience. When you get personal, you can pull your audience in at a much greater level.
Here are 3 areas of courage to consider:

Cannabidiol or CBD is becoming popular in the past few years and within this year, its market is on course to reach US$591 million (AU$838 million) this year. But an analysis done by the Brightfield Group has predicted that the CBD industry could be a US$22 billion (AU$31 million) market in 2022.
CBD is a compound found in cannabis plants, similar to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The difference is that it is non-psychoactive compared to THC, which makes people high. But even though CBD does not actually provide a euphoric feeling to its consumers, some studies found that it provides therapeutic effects.
Over the years, ways of consuming CBD have evolved. Different products were developed to suit consumer demand. For instance, CBD companies like PotNetwork Holdings, Inc. (OTCMKTS:POTN) have developed CBD products such as edibles, vapes, drinks, oils, creams and even pet products. These products allowed consumers to have options on how they can take CBD — they can now eat, drink or smoke CBD.
Though there may only be a few studies that point out that there are certain health benefits in using CBD, some people have already relied on this compound when it comes to treating certain medical issues. According to Healthline , CBD can be used to reduce anxiety and depression, to relieve pain and to manage cancer-related symptoms.
These product developments may have been the reason why the CBD market is projected to become a multibillion- dollar industry, but there are still some factors that may have affected these forecasts.
The recent approval of a drug with CBD
In June, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Epidiolex, developed by GW Pharmaceuticals. It is the first drug that has CBD as an active ingredient to be approved by the agency. The drug is approved as a treatment for two types of rare epilepsy for patients two years or older. However, this treatment does not come cheap. According to Business Insider, the drug would cost US$32,000 (AU$45,400) per year.
Though this is the case for the specific drug, companies that offer CBD products offer them for affordable prices. For instance, POTN's subsidiary Diamond CBD offer CBD products for as low as US$6.99. Depending on how much the product there is, some products cost as much as US$649.
The 2018 Farm Bill
Another factor that may have affected this great projection for the CBD market is the recent Senate approval of the 2018 Farm Bill that would consider hemp as an industrial crop, per CNBC . The 2014 Farm Bill expired on Sep. 30, and with the support of the Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, it seemed that the proposed bill may include the legalisation of hemp. The bill was still waiting for congressional approval.
But what does this bill mean to the CBD industry? Though often derived from marijuana, CBD can also be extracted from hemp as it is also under the cannabis family. Hemp might also be the ideal source of CBD because it has lower THC, which is a requirement to consider a hemp plant as an industrial crop in the proposed bill.
These changes in legislation could really boost the CBD industry as the sources of CBD like marijuana and hemp are still highly regulated. The regulatory approval of a CBD-derived drug may also affect how other health agencies see the product. As more agencies and lawmakers continue to become open when it comes to marijuana, hemp or CBD, it would not be impossible that more people can enjoy the benefits of these products in just a few years.

Hi everyone!
'Tis the season to give – but wait, how do you give? Do you gift your love or do you gift material items? Why not do both! This holiday season, I want to chat about something that's quite important, but not everyone recognizes it – shopping fair trade.
I was recently introduced to Ten Thousand Villages , a Canadian non-profit online marketplace that promotes fair trade by partnering with over 20,000 artisans from developing countries & selling beautifully hand-made one of a kind pieces that were produced under fair trade conditions.
What exactly is fair trade?
Fair trade consists of various elements such as fair pay, gender equality, opportunity, safe/healthy working conditions, and much more. If you are interested to know more about fair trade, click here.
Now that you know a bit more about fair trade, wouldn't it be nice to give a gift with meaning? Each item that is available through Ten Thousand Villages is truly remarkable and has a distinctive story behind it. Each design is unique and is made from either recycled or natural materials.
Here are some of my faves from the Christmas selection:
♥ Glittering Abaca Angel Tree Topper
♥ A Starry Night in the Village travel Mug
♥ Single Snowflake Cushion Cover
♥ Holiday Coasters And Lac Box (6)
By making a purchase on Ten Thousand Villages, you help improve the lives of those individuals in developing communities who strive to build a living for themselves.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and I hope I have inspired you to give the gift of fair trade this holiday season!
♥ P.S. There will be a very special Ten Thousand Villages GIVEAWAY on my instagram in the next few weeks, so if you are interested in participating, follow me for a chance to win! 🙂
xoxo Dominika

TechWorks and TimeOut Access to Be Limited to Campus Networks and VPN
As part of its incident remediation plan and ongoing efforts to prevent future cyberattacks, Georgia Tech's Office of Information Technology (OIT) will soon allow for access to TechWorks and TimeOut through only the Georgia Tech campus networks and the Institute's virtual private network (VPN). This move to reduce the risk of exposure for web-based services goes into effect Thursday, Aug. 8.
"In light of the recent security incident involving our student information system, it is important that we take steps to secure this system and others that connect to our business critical systems," said Jimmy Lummis, Georgia Tech's chief information security officer.
Students, faculty, and staff can currently access TechWorks and TimeOut from any computer network. This change would require individuals who are not connected to a Georgia Tech campus network to first connect to the campus VPN before attempting to open web applications. The remote, secure VPN connection ensures that users maintain the privacy and confidentiality of their data regardless of their location by adding an extra layer of security for off-campus users as they leverage web-based services to send and receive data.
Georgia Tech offers VPN service through the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client, which is available for Windows, OS X, and Linux operating systems. It is also available for mobile Apple iOS and Android devices. To get started with the campus VPN, visit faq.oit.gatech.edu/content/how-do-i-get-started-campus-vpn.
A video demo and additional information regarding the transition can be found at b.gatech.edu/vpninfo.

Skip to comments.TRUMP FAMILY TRANSITION THREAD -- Countdown Week 9 (November 18-24)
Posted on 11/18/2016 6:42:57 AM PST by DollyCali
TRANSITION. We are in second weeks since the election until the Inauguration
SEVERALpicks so far. LOTS of speculation and misinformation along the way>P>
Morning Dolly. May 8 suggest we double link yesterday's thread to this one as they day has begun for many there !
Yesterday's thread
Good Morning Dolly and thanks for the new thread.
Some more good news and it's coming out of DC:
"The House of Representatives passed legislation, 240-to-179, allowing Congress to undo any last-minute rules and regulations put on the books in the waning days of President Barack Obama."
Good morning! Glad to see this thread. Have missed all the "live" threads.
It looks like Attorney General will be Sen. Sessions.
(This is from Breitbart by way of the NY Times and Bloomberg news, 2 questionable sources IMHO). Would feel better about this if the news was coming directly from President Trump.
For those that are Familiar with the building..is any of this set up new?
I can't imagine that it had those checkpoints before
OH, wow! GREAT to read!!!! Thanks for that info.
Varney just said Fox has confirmed the following appointments and that all 3 have ACCEPTED:
Mike Pompeo - CIA
Jeff Sessions - AG
Gen Flynn - National Security
Huckabee is on now saying Trump hasn't said anything/confirmed.
This pool camera is ridiculous. They should either tell that blockhead to get his head out of the way or raise the camera..or both
Please post here on this thread to be added or removed from the list. The day the thread is posted each week, the current ping list will be posted
Prior to starting this thread last week I had consulted several other folk. All agreed a weekly thread initially preferable and could add more if warranted. Having to not go back over many threads to find information and ease of archiving two primary reasons. The thread will be pinged daily.
Keeping one thread open on mobile or desktop device was preferred as the initial amount of accurate information would be far less than the rallies in which several events every day transpired. If they get too heavy with information a second thread could be posted on Monday and that thread will be the B thread of the week
These threads will be archived and inter-linked
After the Inauguration a daily thread for sure will be needed by whomever decides to head up/coordinate the effort
As always post links to otherFR threads that involve the transition or other links with information of interest. Our goal is sharing information with comaraderie and friendship the glue that keeps us together.
the second and third threads will be linked at the end of that thread.
??? so which is it? Confirmed or not confirmed by President Trump?
That's great news!
And good morning!
Good morning, Dolly!
Glad you're back!
Fox said they have confirmed it. Huckabee said if it didn't come from Trump then maybe not. My guess is it is probably confirmed by "sources" in the know, but perhaps not from the candidates themselves (maybe someone on their teams or someone on Trump's team, though Trump's team keeps things fairly close to the vest).
It's probably true, but I guess we'll have to see.
VP just showed up ..lots of secret service types..and then one goes in and shields him in the front of the elevator as doors close
Thanks for posting this.. The Transition and ALL participants and their families do need to be bathed and immersed in prayer regularly!
... does Justa post this thread every week or do you rotate? I would want to include the link in the initial opening of the thread each week. so need to be able to coordinate
Okay. I know people are so anxious to know for sure.
It's like Christmas morning!
I am with Gov. Huckabee - will believe it when it comes from President Trump or the candidates themselves.

Customer Symptoms:A frantic homeowner called us to report that her bathroom sink drain pipe was leaking everywhere in the cabinet underneath the bowl. She admitted that she had never touched a pipe before in her life, so she was less than confident that she could repair it herself.
Issue:The technician met the homeowner and was directed to the source of the leak. He used a flashlight under the sink while he ran the faucet water to pinpoint the location. After he failed to see a leak, he used paper towels around each connection to determine the source of the water
Resolution:Our technician inspected the fitting and determined that it was loose, causing the water to drip out. He was able to tighten the couplings to remove the moisture, yet the leak was not yet fixed. The technician unscrewed the coupling to detach the joint and cleaned both sides of the pipe threads with a clean cloth. He then replaced the old fittings and gaskets before reassembling the pipe. After running the water again and inspecting the pipes simultaneously, the technician verified that the problem had been fixed.

After weeks of Spanish shocks and contradictorily reports about the possibility of a Grexit, there is finally some positive news for the euro-zone.
A week before the European Central Bank's next policy meeting, President Mario Draghi has made his most definitive statement throughout his nine months in office. During a speech given in London Draghi offered key signals that in order to safeguard the euro the ECB is ready and willing to produce the funds needed to buy government bonds. With their power of printing unlimited amounts of euro's the ECB has the ability to really affect the crisis, which is currently at a tipping point.
Draghi asserted that 'Within our mandate, the ECB is willing to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro and, believe me, it will be enough.'
After Draghi's comments Spanish Finance Minister Luis de Guindos stated: 'I am totally convinced that Mr. Draghi knows that the European Central Bank has an essential role to play in the future of the euro and that the situation was becoming very difficult.'
But the ECB adopting this essential role could potentially damage relations with Germany. The euro-zone kingpin takes a dim few of purchasing government bonds and has tellingly refused to comment on Draghi's remarks.
However, French Central Bank head Christian Noyer was keen to issue his support of Draghi's comments; 'It is very clear that we will do everything so that the transmission of our monetary policy takes place in the best possible conditions for our economies.'
The ECB has adopted a cautious approach since the beginning of the Greek debt crisis in 2009 and its current President has demonstrated previous reluctance when it comes to dragging the bank into a more prominent crisis-fighting position. ECB officials initially felt that if they implemented a more aggressive approach there would be less governmental urgency to overhaul stagnant economies and cut deficits.
Only three weeks ago the ECB appeared to have ruled out taking new action. Draghi's turnaround is a significant indication of the severity of the situation attending European markets. This new stance also does much to confirm that previously implemented governmental policies, like austerity, have come up short.
The strong hint that if the crisis worsens the ECB may deploy its power to make substantial purchases in euro-zone bond markets has bolstered investor hope. Markets were also reassured by the connection Draghi highlighted between yield spreads and the transmission of the ECB's interest-rate policies into the economy.
In light of Draghi's comments Spanish and Italian bonds strengthened sharply whilst both the EUR and GBP gained more than 1% against the USD. In nearly all European markets stocks were positive. Asian currencies also received a boost and Asian markets opened higher today. Some are urging caution however. If small or non-existent measures come out of the ECB meeting next Thursday there is every possibility that markets will be plunged back into chaos.

info about music genres: Rock Music
Rock and roll, also called rock, is a form of popular music, usually featuring vocals (often with vocal harmony), electric guitars and a strong back beat; other instruments, such as the saxophone, are common in some styles.
As a cultural phenomenon, rock's social impact on the world is likely unparalleled by any other kind of music. It has been credited with ending wars and spreading peace and tolerance, as well as corrupting the innocent and spreading moral rot. Rock has become popular across the globe, far from its birthplace in the United States, and evolved into a multitude of highly-varying styles.
The term rock and roll is broad, and its boundaries loosely-defined.
It is sometimes used to describe a number of genres only distantly related,
including soul, heavy metal and
even hip hop. Rock and roll emerged
as a defined musical style in America in the 1950s, though elements of rock and roll can be seen in rhythm and blues
records as far back as the 1920s. Early
rock and roll combined elements of blues,
boogie woogie, jazz and rhythm and blues, and is also influenced by
traditional folk music, gospel music (Gospel music may refer either to the religious music that
first came out of African-American churches in the 1930's or,
more loosely, to both black gospel music and to the religious music composed and
sung by white Christian artists), black and
white, and country and
western (Country music, once known as Country and Western music, is a
popular musical form developed in the
United States, with roots in traditional folk music, and the blues). Going back even further, rock and roll can trace a foundational
lineage to the old Five Points district of mid-19th century New York City, the scene of
the first fusion of heavily rhythmic African shuffles and sand dances with
melody driven European genres, particularly the Irish jig (the jig is a folk dance
type as well as the accompanying "dance tune type", popular in Ireland and Scotland, and particularly associated with the former.)
Rocking was a term first used by gospel singers in the American South to mean something akin to spiritual rapture. By the 1940s, however, the term was used as a double entendre, ostensibly referring to dancing, but with the hidden subtextual meaning of sex; an example of this is Roy Brown's "Good Rocking Tonight". "Good Rocking Tonight" and similar songs were relegated to "race music" (the music industry code name for rhythm and blues) outlets and were barely known by mainstream white audiences. In 1951, Cleveland, Ohio disc jockey Alan Freed would begin playing this type of music for his white audience, and it is Freed who is credited with coining the phrase "rock and roll" to describe the rollicking R&B music that he brought to the airwaves.
There is much debate as to what should be considered the first
rock and roll record. Candidates include the 1951 "Rocket
88" by Jackie Brenston & His Delta
Cats, or later and more mainstream hits like Chuck Berry's "Maybellene" or Bill
Haley & His Comets' "Rock Around the Clock". Some historians go further back, pointing to musicians like Fats Domino, who were recording in the 40s in styles largely indistinguishable from rock and roll; these include Louis Jordan's "Is You Is or
Is You Ain't My Baby?", Jack
Guthrie's "The Oakie Bookie" (1947) and
Benny Carter and Paul Vandervoort
II's "Rock Me to Sleep" (1950).
Early North American rock and roll (1953-1963)
On March 21, 1952 in Cleveland, Alan Freed produced the first rock and
roll concert. The audience and the performers were mixed in race and the evening
ended after one song in a near-riot as thousands of fans tried to get into the
sold-out venue.
By the end of the decade, rock had spread throughout the world. In Australia,
for example, Johnny
O'Keefe became perhaps the first modern rock star of the country, and began
the field of Australian
It was two years later that the first major white rock star began recording.
In 1954, Elvis Presley began recording with Sam Philips, starting with the hit
"That's All Right, Mama". Elvis played a rock and country & western fusion
called rockabilly, and he became possibly the first celebrity musician and teen idol to perform in the
It was the following year's "Rock Around the Clock" by Bill
Haley & His Comets that really set the rock boom in motion, though. The
song was one of the biggest hits in history, and frenzied teens flocked to see
Haley and the Comets perform it, even causing riots in some places; "Rock Around
the Clock" was a breakthrough for both the group and for all of rock and roll
Diversification of American rock
With the runaway popular success of rock, the style began to influence other
genres. Vocalized R&B became doo
wop (Doo-wop is a style of vocal-based rhythm and blues music popular in the mid-1950s to the early 1960s in America; the term was coined after the fact, by
a DJ in the 1970s. The style was at first characterized by upbeat harmony vocals that used
nonsense syllables from which the name of the style is derived. The name was
later extended to group harmony ballads. Examples of doo-wop can be found in the
music of The Clovers, The Ravens, and The
Larks), for example, while uptempo, secularized gospel music
became soul, and audiences flocked to see Appalachian-style
folk bands playing a rock-influenced pop version of their style. Young adults
and teenagers across the country were playing in amateur rock bands, laying the
roots for local scenes, garage
rock and alternative rock. More immediately, places
like Southern California produced their own varieties of rock, such as surf.
Surf Music
The rockabilly sound reached the West Coast and mutated into a wild, mostly
instrumental sound called surf
music. This style, exemplified by Dick Dale and The Surfaris, featured faster tempos, innovative
percussion, and processed electric guitar sounds which would be highly
influential upon future rock guitarists. Other West Coast bands, notably The Beach Boys and Jan and Dean, would
capitalize on the surf craze, slowing the tempos back down and adding harmony
vocals to create the "California Sound".
Beach Boys
British rock
American rock and roll had an impact across the globe, perhaps most intensely
in the United Kingdom,
where record collecting and trend-watching were in full bloom among the youth
culture prior to the rock era, and where color barriers were less of an issue.
Countless British youths listened to R&B and rock pioneers and began forming
their own bands to play with an intensity and drive seldom found in white
American acts. Britain quickly became a new center of rock and roll, leading to
the British
Invasion from 1958 to 1969.
In 1958 three British teenagers formed a rock and roll group, Cliff Richard and the
Drifters (later renamed Cliff Richard and the Shadows). The group
recorded a hit, "Move It",
marking not only what is held to be the very first true British rock 'n' roll
single, but also the beginning of a different sound — British rock. Richard and his band introduced many
important changes, such as using a "lead guitarist" (virtuoso Hank Marvin) and an electric bass. Richard inspired
many British teens to begin buying records and follow the music scene, thus
laying the groundwork for Beatlemania.
British Invasion
By the early 1960s, bands from England
were dominating the rock and roll scene world-wide. First re-recording standard
American tunes, these bands then infused their original rock and roll
compositions with an industrial-class sensibility. Foremost among these was The Beatles, who became the
single most influential act in the history of rock and roll. The Beatles brought
together an appealing mix of image, songwriting, and personality and, after
initial success in the UK, were launched a large-scale US tour to ecstatic
reaction, a phenomenon quickly dubbed Beatlemania.
Although they were not the first British band to come to America, The Beatles
spearheaded the Invasion, triumphing in the US on their first visit in 1964 (including historic appearances on the
Ed Sullivan
Show). In the wake of Beatlemania other British bands headed to the
U.S., notably the
Rolling Stones, who disdained the Beatles' clean-cut image and presented a
darker, more aggressive image, The Animals and The Yardbirds. Throughout the early and mid-60s
Americans seemed to have an insatiable appetite for British rock. Other British
bands, including The Who and The Kinks, had some success during
this period but saved their peak of popularity for the second wave of British
invasion in the late 1960s.
1960s Garage rock
The British Invasion spawned a wave of imitators in the U.S. and across the
globe. Many of these bands were cruder than the bands they tried to emulate.
Playing mainly to local audiences and recording cheaply, very few of these bands
broke through to a higher level of success. This movement, later known as Garage Rock, gained a new
audience when record labels started re-issuing compilations of the original
singles; the best known of these is a series called Nuggets. Some of the better known band of this
genre include The Sonics, & the
Mysterians, and The
Bob Dylan and Folk-rock (starting 1963)
As the British Invasion led by The Beatles picked up steam, a homegrown
American trend was making itself felt, led by Bob Dylan. By 1963 the 22 year old Dylan had assimilated a variety of
regional American styles and was set to create a new genre, usually dubbed
"folk-rock". From 1961 to mid-1963 Dylan had
kept his distance from rock and roll even though his first adolescent musical
forays owed more to early rockers like Buddy Holly and Little Richard than to any of the more obscure
folk and blues artists he would later revere as paradigms (in particular, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly and Robert Johnson). Dylan
and others on the new folk circuit tended to view The Beatles as bubblegum (that is, tritely
commercial), but admitted to a grudging respect for their melodic originality
and energetic, danceable delivery. In 1963 Dylan's release of the album The Times They Are A-Changin
was a watershed event, bringing "relevant" and highly poetic lyrics to the edge
of rock and roll. The Beatles listened to this album incessantly and moved away
from the exclusively romantic/interpersonal themes of their songs to date.
In 1964 and 1965 Dylan threw off all pretense to roots purity and
embraced the rock beat and electrified instruments, culminating in the release
of the song "Like a Rolling Stone" which, at over six
minutes playing time, changed the landscape of hit radio and ushered in a period
of intense lyrical and structural experimentation on both sides of the Atlantic.
Dylan would continue to surprise fans and critics with tour-de-force albums in
many styles, but, from 1964 on, he has worked mostly within the rock and roll
framework. His influence on all rock sub-genres is incalculable, probably
equaled only by The Beatles'. Among Dylan's most important disciples was Neil Young, whose lyrical
inventiveness, wedded to an often wailing electric guitar attack, would presage
Psychedelic rock
The music took on a greater social awareness; it was not just about dancing
and smooching anymore, but took on themes of social justice. The counterculture
that was emerging (partly as a reaction to the Vietnam War) adopted rock and roll as its defining
feature, and the music began to be heavily influenced by the various drugs that the youth culture was
experimenting with. In America, psychedelic rock influenced and was influenced
by the drug scene and the larger psychedelic lifestyle. It featured long, often
improvised jams and wild electronic sounds. Jimi Hendrix,
Jefferson Airplane, Iron Butterfly, and the
Grateful Dead were
leading practitioners of psychedelia.
A more esoteric form of British
psychedelia and the Canterbury Sound is exemplified by the Soft Machine, who accompanied
Hendrix on his first U.S. tour. Pink Floyd found their roots in British psychedelia,
moving on to becoming more of a progressive rock, and arena rock band later in
their careers.
The culmination of rock and roll as a socially-unifying force was seen in the
rock festivals of the
late '60s, the most famous of which was Woodstock which began as a three-day arts
and music festival and turned into a "happening", as hundreds of thousands of
youthful fans converged on the site.
Progressive rock
The music itself broadened past the guitar-bass-drum format; while some bands had used saxophones and keyboards before, now acts like The Beach Boys and The Beatles (and others following their lead) experimented with new instruments including wind sections, string sections, and full orchestration. Many bands moved well beyond three-minute tunes into new and diverse forms; increasingly sophisticated chord structures, previously limited to jazz and orchestrated pop music, were heard.
Dabbling heavily in classical, jazz, electronic, and experimental music
resulted in what would be called progressive rock (or, in its German wing, krautrock). Progressive rock could be
lush and beautiful or atonal and dissonant, highly complex or minimalistic,
sometimes all within the same song. At times it was hardly recognizable as rock
at all. Some notable practitioners include King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, The Nice, Yes, Gong, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Magma, Can, and Faust.
Birth of heavy metal
A second wave of British bands and artists gained great popularity during this period; these bands typically were more directly steeped in American blues music than their more pop-oriented predecessors but their performances took a highly amplified, often spectacular form. These were the bands that were led by the guitar; Cream and Led Zeppelin were early examples of this blues-rock form and were followed
by heavier rock bands including Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. This style of rock would come to be
known as heavy metal
Arena rock
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones had set the table for massive live performances in stadiums and arenas. The growing popularity of metal and progressive rock led to more bands selling out large venues. The corporate world saw the chance for huge profits and began marketing a series of what came to be called arena rock bands.
Bands whose roots were in other genres, like Queen, Pink Floyd and Genesis, paved the way by putting on extravagant live shows drawing a large number of fans. Following in this wake, Boston, Styx, Foreigner, Journey,
and many other bands began playing similar music, often less progressive and metal-like. This movement became a precursor to the power pop of future decades, and set the mold for live performances by popular artists.
Soft Rock/Pop
Even rock music would get soft, or at least in between soft and hard. Out of
the short-lived "bubble gum pop" era came such groups as The Partridge
Family, The Cowsills,
The Osmonds, and The Archies (the latter "group"
actually being one person, Ron Dante, who would go on to help manage the career
of Barry Manilow).
With the demise of The Beatles as a group, other bands and artists would take this emerging soft rock format and add a touch of orchestration to partially form some of the first "power ballads". Solo artists such as Manilow, Elton John, Billy Joel, Olivia Newton-John, and Eric
Carmen, and groups such as Bread, The Carpenters, and England
Dan & John Ford Coley would make popular the format we know today as Soft rock.
Other well-known artists from the 1960s such as Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand were continuing to chart.

A Mid Victorian Turquoise and Red Gem Snake Necklace. Designed As a Textured Snake Head, With Circular-Shape Red Gem Eyes, Turquoise Crest and Graduated Snake-Link Chain, Suspending A Heart-Shape Turquoise Drop (Replacement Clasp). Total Length: 44.5cm. Weight: 17.69G
After a sentimental gift for the festive season? We are pleased to present in our forthcoming Bond Street Jewellery auction a unique token of love from yesteryear. This sweet turquoise necklace is designed as a coiled snake, suspending a heart-shape dropper from its mouth.
Dating back to circa 1860, this piece was no doubt intended as sentimental. Motifs of snakes were commonplace ever since the Georgian times, and those circling their own tail were known as ouroboros. The notion of the serpent in a never-ending circle signified an eternal bond between the giver and the recipient of the jewellery, making these snake-themed pieces incredibly popular tokens of love. They grew in popularity following the example of Queen Victoria, who had a snake engagement ring!

Group Decision-Making0
By Frank J. Rich
Making decisions within a group can often be challenging. When things go well, they can go very well. However, when things go wrong, groups can end up mired in conflict. Some group members may fight for recognition and position, others may be over-critical or disruptive, while still others may sit quietly and not contribute anything to the overall effort. Because of this, groups can often spin out of control and make poor decisions, suggesting that decisions by individuals working on their own is a better approach.
When this happens, it's easy to see why some throw up their hands in frustration and give up. But when a group works in effective ways, it really works. Groups that function effectively together can outperform individuals and make much better decisions.
But how do you make your group effective? How do you get all members to contribute and inspire one another to great ideas and solutions? One way is to "prepare" the group for success. This is a "tried and true" method, and is applied across the board in most decision-making. Good preparation makes good practice, and good results.
• Set an agenda that requires interaction. Ask group members to speak of their experience with the meeting topic and how it might contribute to an understanding of the issues and the expected outcomes. Alerting them to the interactive exercise ahead will stir their creative juices.
• Assemble those who would carry the initiative forward — that is, those who have both the skills and the inclination to contribute to the venture going forward. You'll begin to see the workings of the team you've assembled and form a view of the cohesiveness of the group and any missing links.
• Ask group members to recommend the talents of those in the room for assignment. Each ought to be given the opportunity to elucidate the special talents of group members. This prepares people for the selfless dedication to the other's success that best informs teamwork.
The Stepladder Technique
The Stepladder Technique is another useful method for encouraging individual participation in "group decision-making." This simple tool manages how members enter the decision-making group. It encourages all members to contribute on an individual level before being influenced by others. It results in a wider variety of ideas, prevents people from "hiding" within the group, and it helps people avoid being "stepped on" or overpowered by stronger, louder group members.
How to Use the Tool
The Stepladder Technique has five basic steps:
Step 1: Before getting together as a group, present the task or problem to all members. Give everyone sufficient time to think about what needs to be done and to form their own opinions on how to best accomplish the task or solve the problem.
Step 2: Form a core group of two members. Have them discuss the problem.
Step 3: Add a third group member to the core group. The third member presents ideas to the first two members BEFORE hearing the ideas that have already been discussed. After all three members have laid out their solutions and ideas, they discuss their options together.
Step 4: Repeat the same process by adding a fourth member, and so on, to the group. Allow time for discussion after each additional member has presented his or her ideas.
Step 5: Reach a final decision only after all members have been brought in and presented their ideas.
The Stepladder Technique is similar to the Delphi Method, another tool that's often used in groups to prevent Groupthink* and to encourage participation. While both tools have the same objective, they differ in a few key ways:
• In the Delphi Method, an objective facilitator or leader manages the group. In the Stepladder Technique, all members are equal.
• The Delphi Method keeps members anonymous. The facilitator manages the flow of information, and members may have no idea who else is in the group. The Stepladder Technique involves face-to-face meetings, so everyone knows who the other members are.
• The Delphi Method is a lengthy process, while the Stepladder Technique is much quicker.
• The Delphi Method is often used for major decisions that need input from a large number of people. The Stepladder Technique works best with smaller groups that make a wide range of decisions.
Some groups can begin to lose their effectiveness and ability to make quality decisions if they have too many members. Keep your group small — four to six team members — to maximize effectiveness.
The Stepladder Technique is a step-by-step approach to help ensure that all members of a group participate and are heard. The technique allows shy, quiet people to present their ideas before other group members can influence them, and it allows everyone to hear many different viewpoints before reaching a final decision. All of this helps the group make better decisions. The techniques help curb worker ferment and eliminate fainéant members who fear engagement.
*Groupthink is a phenomenon that occurs when the desire for group consensus overrides people's commonsense desire to present alternatives, critique a position, or express an unpopular opinion. This is what happens in the legislatures of most nations, where the unique view of parties divides people in the decision-making process into membership of a common view.
