Homemade granola is a great grab-and-go snack. I first started making it when my kids were swimming competitively. It was perfect for swim meets – not too heavy and lots of carbs! Even after they stopped swimming, we have continued to make this granola. It's terrific for road trips and just to keep handy for snacking!
Caylie has been asking for granola for a few weeks and we just got around to making some. Even though my kids have stopped swimming, this snack is still a favorite around our house. I really forgot how delightful it makes the house smell!
We've had so much going on lately, and this granola has been a real life saver. All of us have been grabbing a handful in the afternoons and running off in twelve different directions. Caylie loves to use it as a topping on her yogurt in the mornings with some fresh berries. It also works really well as a cereal!
I not only made this granola for swim meets but during the summers when my kids were growing up. It was the same then as it is now. The perfect grab-and-go snack. We always had a houseful, and this satisfied both the kids and the adults. There was always lemonade, kool aid, something a little stronger for the adults, granola, and fresh fruits and vegetables from our garden, not to mention whatever I happened to be baking at the time. My kids and their friends would come running in from an early afternoon's worth of play and rummage through the kitchen until they found something to snack on.
Things haven't changed much. Summer is coming and the weather is getting hotter. My kids stay a little cleaner now than they did then, but they're always looking for something quick to grab as they run out the door. This granola recipe has filled our home with wonderful smells and fun times for many years! I can only hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
How to make granola
Making your own granola is one of life's simple pleasures. As long as you get the basics in, you can really make it your own. Combine your dry ingredients (except dried fruit). Add the wet ingredients. Stir. Bake.
We learned through trial and error that the best way to bake granola is low and slow. It brings all the flavors together perfectly and turns it into a crunchy, healthy(ish) treat. We also love our with slices of unsweetened, dried coconut baked in instead of added with the fruit. Adding the cinnamon and vanilla gives it a couple of extra layers of flavor. The wheat germ makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my body.
Feel free to change up the nuts you put in or to use just one kind, if that's what you prefer. The dried fruit can be one thing only or a combination of as many as you want. You can use raisins, cranberries, cherries, blueberries, apples, dates, apricots, pineapple, mango, banana. Whatever you choose! Use your favorites, or experiment with something new! You really can't mess it up.
Expert tips
- Make sure to use a rimmed baking sheet.
- Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray or brush with vegetable oil.
- Stir every 15 minutes! This ensures the granola cooks evenly, even if your oven doesn't. (Like mine!)

How To Choose Your Partner
The cliche will never fade away that choosing your partner is a leap of faith. It is a monumental task when it comes to choosing a life partner or sticking together. There is no prescription for it rather few suggestions which can work. The considerable factors to pick your partner is a high stake decision and it starts with understanding what to look for in a life partner. One should specifically know what they are searching for in their partner.
* What is a Perfect Relationship
The idea of a perfect relationship isn't about blending into each other's life rather separate lives coming to share together. A perfect relationship is a two-way street and requires both partners to take efforts for safe and comfortable place where you don't have to keep a mask on. As we have brought up in different environments, have different set of values, life goals and preferences, you have to take efforts to make adjustments at every single step. You should know the art of balancing with each other feelings, priorities, time. There is no magic wand to resolve issues for a perfect relationship. But your positive attitude and continuous efforts can do the trick.
* Feed the need
Relationships are always an empty tummy or a hungry belly. It never get satisfied by whatever efforts you are pouring in. look at the needs of your relationship and nourish it as well. One should understand the needs and fulfill them. The willingness of fulfilling the need should not be forced. Choose your partner, always, who understands these needs otherwise this leads to failure of a relationship. Suppose one is in a mood to talk and other wants to sleep. This could result into a serious trouble between two. Understanding your partner and their need is the basic and most important thing for relationship.Partners must know the responsibility of satisfying each other. Therefore, feed the need.
* Be particular about your choices
Confront yourself with the question that are you making these choices out of fear or any kind of lust? Look at your bond which you share with each other. Make sure your relationship is not driven by these things. Choose your partner who's compatibility is marvellous with you. Where you can be a naked version of your soul and share every common interest, culture, even sexual desires. And if you are thinking that someone someday will change eventually, then do not fool yourself because it's never gonna happen. Be particular about what are you looking for in a partner like respect, values, honesty, stand by you and ability to forget and forgive. Do not compromise with these things.
* How does it impact on your life
Every thing around the globe comes with a consequence. So are the relationships. Being in a relationship is always a cloud nine thing but on the other hand it is pathetic as hell. Think about how it will impact your present and future. The past impacts our present every day it is totally up to you how you approach a certain situation. Living in a relationship needs to take care of with every single nourishing step. You can not overview the factors which impact your life. It affects your surroundings and your relationship with everyone around. The ability to cope up with the family and friends can't be ignored. The recipe of perfect relationship is balancing and fulfilling the emotional needs.
* Time
Time is the real hero between the two who plays in the lead and never dies. Partners should avail a great amount of time for each other. He or she should spend time together. Be with someone who choose you always and want to spend time together. This isn't a forced one rather a willingful want. Giving time is a judgemental factor. So, before you jump into a relationship or choose your partner pay attention to the time quotient.

In the urban jungle of the Jackson metro area, we are fortunate to have a bounty of eateries at our disposal. Amidst the pack are the restaurants celebrating the cultural diversity of our city. Next time you're in the mood for something different, try one of old and new favorites we've discovered.
Some people may be intimidated by the mirrored windows, but don't judge this book by its cover. On the other side of the tint, Spice Avenue (4711 Interstate 55 N., 601-982-0890) features a welcoming setting, and they serve up all your Indian favorites. Originally a market and restaurant, Spice Avenue has ditched the market and narrowed its focus to provide a variety of the subcontinent's offerings. Served with a side of Indian music videos, Spice Avenue offers classic dishes like chicken tikka masala, kababs, kormas, vindaloos, and biryanis, a vegetarian section and a lunch buffet. Hours: 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Taste of the Island (436 E. Capitol St., 601-360-5900) opened in 2009 and has quickly become a lunchtime fixture for downtown Jackson. Owned and operated by Richard and Chandra Higgins, Taste of the Island has brought a new dimension to Jackson. With only four tables, consider this restaurant a mostly carry-out eatery, but dining in is an option. Featuring a menu of Jamaican and Caribbean favorites such as Jerk Chicken, Oxtail, Red Snapper, Curry Goat and Meat Patties with sides of Bok Choy or Callaloo (Jamaican Spinach), Taste of the Island offers something a little different from the average lunch menu. Hours: 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
If you're looking for a side of patriotism with your fish entrée, look no further than Bill's Greek Tavern (4760 McWillie Drive, 601-982-9295). A fixture of the Jackson restaurant scene for more than 30 years, Bill's Greek Tavern is a cozy and welcoming restaurant that specializes in an American take on Greek cuisine. Seafood is the star of the show at Bill's with a fish of the day or your choice of shrimp, scallops or oysters, all served with a salad, potatoes and vegetables. Bill's Greek Tavern also features classics like Greek gyros and plenty of baklava. Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Once situated on Interstate 55, Ruchi India (862 Avery Blvd., Ridgeland, 601-991-3110), Jackson's longstanding outpost for Indian cuisine has moved to a new location in Ridgeland, but the menu at Ruchi India offers the same copious variety. With sections devoted to Southern India and beyond the Himilayas, Ruchi India sets itself apart from other Jackson restaurants. Of course, the familiar favorites are still there: Samosas, Tandoori Chicken, Rogan Josh, Biryanis Vindaloos and Naan. The new Ruchi India may be slightly smaller, but the interior is bright and welcoming, and the menu can satisfy all your Indian cuisine cravings. Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. weekends,
5 p.m. to 10 p.m. every day.
Edo Japanese Restaurant (5834 Ridgewood Road., 601-899-8518), formerly known as Haru, has been in Jackson for about 10 years and is one of the hidden gems for sushi in the city. It has a quiet atmosphere, making it a perfect place for a good meal and good conversation. Edo recently expanded its menu with the addition of a hibachi grill. Try the salmon mango roll; it never lets my taste buds down. Hours: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to
10 p.m.; Friday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to
10:30 p.m.; Sunday 4:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
Fuego Mexican Cantina (318 S. State St., 601-592-1000), the newest addition to the Club Fire franchise, opened in July. Owner Sharon Jackson thinks the Mexican restaurant goes well with next-door neighbor Fire's bar atmosphere. Chimichangas and tamales are their most popular items, and although it's a Mexican restaurant, their burger is also a hot-selling menu item. Fuego offers $1 margaritas during happy hour from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Hours: 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. everyday.
King Torta and Omonia Deli and Bakery (1290 E. County Line Road, Ridgeland, 601-983-1253) is a Mexican/Columbian hybrid bakery and deli that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. They've been cooking tacos, antojitos, burritos and quesadillas for almost a year. King Tortas' most popular menu item, like their name suggests, is their tortas, which come with lettuce, beans, tomatoes, avocados, jalapeños, chipotle and your choice of meat. Hours:
9 a.m. to 9 p.m. everyday.
Saigon (2640 Lakeland Drive, Flowood, 601-420-4848) is the only Vietnamese restaurant in the Jackson area. The restaurant opened in September 2003 in an old Wendy's, but owner Phong Dhan removed all signs of the former fast-food culture. Saigon is calm and fosters conversation. Dhan says their hot pots are their signature item, but their noodle soups are popular as well. I also recommend the tofu rice plate. Hours: Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.; Friday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.; Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Wasabi Sushi and Bar (100 E. Capitol St., 601-948-8808) will be Jackson's latest sushi eatery when it opens in December. Tami Lynn Munsch, co-owner with Lina Lynn and Ronnie Isaac, thinks Wasabi will fill a niche for sushi and Asian cuisine in Jackson. Aside from sushi, Wasabi will offer bento boxes, rice and noodle dishes, an extensive appetizer menu and a martini bar. The mood of the restaurant will change throughout the day, as Munsch hopes to create a place for people to socialize after work and long into the night.

National: This investment supports National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities (NASUAD) to develop and administer a survey designed to improve knowledge and understanding of existing services and supports for seniors and people with disabilities, particularly in managed care environments; and increase integration and coordination of aging and disability policy with Medicaid oral health policy. Specifically, NASUAD will design a comprehensive survey on Medicaid oral health services for older adults and individuals with disabilities; incorporate questions into a survey of seniors and people with disabilities about individuals' access to and utilization of oral health care services; convene meetings of leaders in the aging and disability as well as the Medicaid dental fields to foster collaboration between the two groups; develop a report and disseminate the findings in multiple venues; and create an online training that includes best practices regarding oral health for seniors and people with disabilities. Due to the lack of coverage for dental benefits and complex eligibility requirements between publicly funded health care programs, Medicaid represents the primary source of dental coverage for many seniors and people with disabilities. This proposed work will create a baseline of dental benefit coverage that can be compared across states and used by policymakers and advocates to develop strategies to increase coverage for and utilization of oral health services in publicly funded health plans for aging and disabled adults. $295,479 will be used to support personnel time to implement and administer the survey, engage and convene stakeholders, and develop reports; consultant services to design the written report; travel and meeting expenses; and administrative costs associated with the implementation of this work. This proposal aligns with the Oral Health 2020 Goal 1 of mandating the inclusion of an adult dental benefit in publicly funded health insurance and the target that at least 30 states have a comprehensive Medicaid adult dental benefit, and no states that currently have a Medicaid adult dental benefit roll back or eliminate that coverage. Grant funds will be paid in two installments, 50% ($147,740) on receipt of the signed Terms & Conditions and 50% ( $147,740) after receipt and approval of the 6-month interim report.

Sniff sniff... yeah I thought so.
Other ex smokers have promised me that at some point I will hate the smell of nicotine, that the merest whiff of blue smoke will turn my stomach.
I am a long way from this promised state.
It's been nearly four months, and look I'm still not smoking, but I sure am sniffing. I am inhaling passively every chance I get.
The front of Haymarket station is surprisingly smoke free. Tesco's megastore out on the far edges of Cheesetown is much better. There seems to be a constant stream of traumatised shoppers, needing a calming cigarette whilst they check their receipts. Stopping off at the cashpoint down wind from the front door can be a heady experience. But best of the lot is Morrisons at the Gyle. I don't know if there are more dedicated smokers there, but the front door heating seems to ensure that there is a constant stream of blue smoke through the slide doors and down the concourse.
But now, here inside Ikea, I'm getting great deep whiffs of continental tobacco, whiffs of, is it Gauloise? Djarum? Maybe Marlborough at the outside..
The source is obvious; it's that nice young man. The one with the long dark hair, dark sun tan, and Spanish accent. He's checking out wine glasses. With his girlfriend.
I'm sidling closer to carry on inhaling.
He's moving off to look at storage jars.
I'm moving off after him.
I'm still inhaling,
Does he notice? Or has he come to expect that, since moving to Britain, random strangers will inhale deeply behind his back?
How much longer is this phase going to last? And can I follow him all the way through kitchenware to curtains and soft furnishings....?

The first Classic Boat Rally was held in Plymouth in1988 and rapidly became a significant event in the national boating calendar drawing entrants from across the UK and overseas visitors from Germany and Brittany. In 2006 Sutton Harbour began to host the event and this year it celebrates 10 years in this natural waterfront amphitheatre-like harbour.
Every year the event attracts much attention from all aspects of the media with local BBC and ITV networks setting up camp at the Rally and broadcasting live. That attention results in thousands of visitors to the historic Sutton Harbour and the adjacent old Barbican area of Plymouth.
But no longer is it simply about the boats and their visiting crews. The event has extended onto the ancient cobbles and now plays host to shoreside activity that can entertain all members of the family for hours on end. Here is a taster of what is to come – and some ideas to make the very most of your visit to the Sutton Harbour Classic Boat Rally…….
Tall Ship Nao Victoria…
The star attraction at the weekend-long event will be the Nao Victoria, an exact replica of the first ship to ever sail around the world. The Nao Victoria is making her first ever visit to the UK to berth in Sutton Harbour for three weeks this summer, and is arriving just before the 29th annual rally takes place.
Visitors will be able to board the Nao Victoria from 10am until 7pm every day whilst she is berthed in Sutton Harbour. Tickets will cost £4 for adults, £2 for children under 11, and entry is free for children under five. Visit www.fundacionnaovictoria.org for advance bookings.
Entertainment on the cobbles…
Music on the Harbourside…
Classic Boats…
This year, the hugely popular event has an especially strong focus on maritime history, with many of the expected 70 or more boats taking part from July 29th -August 1st being more than 100 years old and featured on the National Register of Historic Ships.
This year's rally will feature luggers, schooners, classic sail and motor boats, dingies, gaff rigged boats, pilot cutters, yawls, bermudan rigs, lifeboats and even steamboats.
Special guests include three grand Island Trust Vessels – Tectona, a large ketch built solidly of teak in South India; Pegasus, a replica Bristol Channel pilot cutter, and Moosk, a recently refitted gentleman's cruiser built 100 years ago.
The magnificent Brixham sailing trawler, Vigilance, is joining the rally following a recent restoration of this powerful vessel, which once formed part of the renowned Brixham fishing fleet.
Four retired lifeboats, included on the National Register of Historic Ships, are taking part, along with the first ever visit by steamboats, with the British-built Halcyon and Quetzel, built in 1920 and 1930 respectively, chugging into the harbour.
Visitors to the Sutton Harbour Classic Boat Rally can enjoy access to the Sutton Harbour Marina pontoons from 10am until 5pm on Saturday, July 30th and Sunday, July 31st so they can view all of the boats in the rally.
Entry to the pontoons costs £2 for adults, £1 for children, and £2 for a programme, or a family ticket (4 people) including programme is £6. All profits go to the non-profit Plymouth Classic Boat Rally organisation.
To inspire the children…
The Schedule…
Friday 29th July
Arrival of boats throughout the day.
Saturday 30th July
The pontoons will be open to the public from 10.00 until 17.00.
The boats will be dressed overall and at midday will raise their sails and blow their horns. There will be live music on the main pontoon in the afternoon.

I haven't mentioned that Mesut Cemil bey is my favourite tanbur player (not that I've heard so many anyway). I'll be posting a peshrev played solo by him in five minutes.
Having gone to germany and studied cello with no less than Hugo Becker himself, all the while having previously possessed probably no german at all, and no experience in western music, is most definitely no mean feat. I don't think there'll be another Mesut Cemil any time soon.

Saving Lives with Snake Venom
Every year hundreds of thousands of people are dying from snakebites and there's a global shortage of the one thing that could save them – anti-venom. While a single snakebite can turn most people into a corpse in less than 30 minutes, Steve Ludwin can survive due to 30 years of injecting snake venom. His blood now, partly immune to venom, could be used to solve this crisis.
For close to 100 years, anti-venom production has been a laborious process of snake-milking and horse blood harvesting, but scientists in Copenhagen are now using Steve's blood to create a synthetic anti-venom. No longer containing horse antibodies which can cause the loss of limbs, this human anti-venom could be mass-produced and distributed around the world.
In this episode Steve travels to Costa Rica to encounter the dangerous snakes that make every day dangerous for the locals, experiences first hand how anti-venom is currently produced and visits a hospital to discover how bites are treated. With research into his blood progressing at an exciting pace, will Steve be the anti-venom messiah?

Promoting Safety and Security through the Installation of the Commercial Entry Alarms
Looking at most entrances of prime buildings and premises, you find that there are different door buzzers and alarms input in these positions. When most people were asked about these systems on these doors, you find that most people think of them as security alert systems to tell the occupants of incoming persons. There is a broad difference between the systems in the different areas which primarily depends on the kind of business as well as the kind of buzzer put in place. In this piece, we expand the use of the commercial door buzzers as used in most of these premises and buildings.
The first and most crucial reason for the door buzzer on commercial premises is for the customer service benefit. When looking at the convenience stores around you, you find that there is the presence of the an alert system that tells the staff members of an incoming client who needs their services and attention. Most of these alert systems in the convenience stores are usually bells that give a chime sound to let the staff members serve you without having to distract the other persons in the premises. As a result, you get to find that the clients are served efficiently and efficiently hence breeding productivity.
Looking at other premises, you find that the buzzers are put in place to ensure that the places are secure and safe. When looking at the most important places in the business or company area, you find that they are restricted to only a portion of the employees who may have knowledge on the equipment in place hence needing a pass card to access the area. To safeguard the area, you find that there are buzzers at the entrance which give away alerts whenever unauthorized person tries to access the area. By using the buzzers you get to realize better results at ensuring safety and security in the working and restricted area.
In conclusion to this, it is important for you as a business person to ensure that you call in the experts to help you in the fixation for safety and security purposes. Since these systems are very vital and crucial for the premises, you need to make sure that you hire great professionalism to handle all the fixation, installation and even maintenance works. Again, ensure that they are trained, accredited and licensed to perform the installation and maintenance procedures in case anything happens to the system. In the long run, you find that it becomes very easy for you to have the commercial buzzers in your premises delivering quality over an extended time period.

* Still expects Zolgensma gene therapy approval
* Says "business as usual" for migraine drug despite court case
* Shares rise as companies raises 2019 guidance (Adds details, CEO comment)
By John Miller
ZURICH, April 24 (Reuters) - Swiss drugmaker Novartis raised its 2019 profit target on Wednesday, striking an upbeat tone over a legal fight with peer and partner Amgen and on the safety of a key gene therapy that could win approval next month.
Its shares rose 2.8 percent by 0837 GMT.
Chief Executive Vas Narasimhan said he now sees 2019 core operating income growing at a high-single-digit percentage rate, up from the previous forecast of mid- to high-single-digit percentage growth. Sales are seen growing at the mid-single-digit rate, helped by heart failure drug Entresto and psoriasis medicine Cosentyx.
Cosentyx is Novartis's top seller after first-quarter sales rose 41 percent to $791 million, while Entresto sales jumped 85 percent to $357 million.
"Taken together, we're really well positioned for growth," Narasimhan told reporters on a call.
Two additional pillars of Narasimhan's growth plans are Zolgensma, the gene therapy for rare spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), and Aimovig, the migraine drug on which Novartis has partnered with Amgen.
Asked about two deaths of babies in Zolgensma trials, including one in Europe in January that investigators deemed "possibly related to treatment", Narasimhan said he did not anticipate an impact on the timing of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval decision, due by May 31.
The baby may have had pneumonia when it received a Zolgensma infusion, he said, and was diagnosed with five separate viral infections before dying of respiratory sepsis.
"When you can't definitively prove one thing or another, the investigator is required to say there could be a potential contribution" from Zolgensma, Narasimhan said. "That does not mean the investigational agent actually contributed."
A U.S. drug review group this month recommended Zolgensma should be priced below the $4-5 million level Novartis has pegged as the gene therapy's value.
"We'll of course take that into consideration," Narasimhan said of the still-undisclosed price tag.
The 43-year-old Harvard-trained doctor said he is looking forward to taking on the Amgen dispute in court after the U.S. biotech sought to terminate the companies' partnership on Aimovig, a potential blockbuster, this year.
The dispute centres on Novartis's Sandoz unit's contract manufacturing deal with Alder Biopharmaceuticals to help produce an Aimovig rival, eptinezumab, which on Tuesday was accepted for FDA review.
"We hope to come to some sort of conclusion with respect to this in the coming years," Narasimhan said. "But in the meantime, it's business as usual."
Novartis reported first-quarter core net income rose 13 percent to $2.81 billion, compared to the $2.76 billion average estimate in a poll.
Sales excluding eyecare business Alcon, spun off to shareholders this month, rose 7 percent to $11.1 billion, compared to the $10.9 billion poll average. (Reporting by John Miller; Editing by Michael Shields and Alexandra Hudson)

These pumpkin and zucchini fritters are perfect either as a snack or as a main meal served with a salad. Make a big batch ahead of time to cover you for the week. Best of all they are super easy to make.
You must know by now that I am a big fan of fritters!
These pumpkin and zucchini fritters are right up there with my quinoa fritters, cauliflower fritters and my zucchini & sweet potato fritters.
These fritters are gluten, dairy and full of healthy wholefoods. They are also infused with cilantro and thyme essential oils, however you can also use fresh herbs.
I love to make a big batch of these on the weekend to enjoy over a few days or to cover me for lunches for the week.
I love how easy these pumpkin and zucchini fritters are to make.
All you need to do is:
- Grate the pumpkin and zucchini and then squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
- Next, add to a large bowl with the all the ingredients (except the coconut oil) and mix together really well.
- Then, you start to cook them in an oiled fry pan on low-moderate heat.
- I use a soup spoon to scoop out a heaped amount of the mixture and place in the frypan. You can cook a few at time as long as the edges do not touch.
- Cook a few minutes on each side and then drain on a plate lined with paper towe.
How easy is that!!

The Savi's Warbler is an unstreaked brown warbler with a long powerful well rounded tail.
It usually sings from the top of reeds or little bushes within the reeds with open beak and vibrating throat.
Both males and females sing.
Its buzzing song is similar to that of the Grasshopper Warbler (in Dutch: Sprinkhaanzanger).
However, the sound of the Savi's Warbler is significantly lower pitched than the sound of the Grasshopper Warbler and the individual pulses (reeling sound) are almost twice as fast.

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, known in Japan as Mario & Luigi RPG, is a role-playing video game developed by AlphaDream and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Superstar Saga is the first game in the Mario and Luigi RPG series and was followed by two sequels, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, which was released for the Nintendo DS in 2005 and Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, which was released in 2009, also for the DS.
The game begins in Mushroom Kingdom, but progresses to Beanbean Kingdom for the majority of the game as Mario and Luigi combat Cackletta, the game's primary antagonist. The quest begins when Cackletta, with the aid of her assistant Fawful, steals Princess Peach's voice after adopting the guise of an ambassador from Beanbean Kingdom.
A role-playing game, it centers on a battle system different from that of traditional games of the genre, with emphasis on timing and more elaborate attacks.The game is whimsical in tone, with various in-game jokes and comical references to the heritage of the Mario series. Superstar Saga was generally well received by critics, and IGN named it the twelfth best Game Boy Advance game of all time in their feature reflecting on the Game Boy Advance's lifespan.

Design of Organizational Control Mechanisms Essay
Problem: When a team of individuals produce a single output the problem arises on how to contribute the reward so that every individual is equally rewarded. This article examines three different mechanisms to deal with this issue: 1.Markets Markets deals with the control problem through precise measurement and reward of individual contributions. 2.Bureaucrats Bureaucrats rely on a mixture of close evaluation with socialized acceptance of common objectives. 3.Clans Clans rely on a relatively complete socialization process which effectively eliminates goal incongruence between individuals. Introduction: Controls (by Tannenbaum)=sum of interpersonal influence relations in an organization Controls (Ezioni)= control is equivalent to power Controls (Weber)= a problem in creating and monitoring rules through a hierarchical authority system Main questions in article: 1) What are the mechanisms through which an organization can be managed so that it moves towards its objectives? 2) How can the design of these mechanisms be improved, what are the limits of each design? An example: The parts supply division Purchasing department: buys 100.000 items (p.a.) from 3.000 suppliers purchased by 22 employees on 3 management levels. â⬠â⬠¢Purchasing officer ââ¬â send out request to 3 manufacturers and adds information on reliability,â⬠¦ and the order â⬠¢Supervisor ââ¬â Consults agents if they need help and reminds workers that they are not allowed to accept presents Warehousing operations: 1.400 employees (incl. 150 manager) â⬠¢Pickers and packers (worker) â⬠¢Supervisor (manager) ââ¬â Formal authority (written rules) ââ¬â Informal authority (personality) Three mechanisms: 1.Market mechanism ââ¬â> purchasing function Agents and supervisory employ market mechanism: to minimize cost for the company by picking the best price on the markets. In a market prices convey all of the information necessary for efficient decision-making. Frictionless market: Prices represent exactly the value of good or service. Therefore reward can be contributed in direct proportion to contribution of employee! Agents and supervisory are subject to bureaucratic mechanisms: Their work is controlled by a set of bureaucratic surveillance controls (performance evaluation, hierarchical oder-giving) 2.Bureaucratic mechanism ââ¬â> warehousing function Warehousing is subject to routines of monitoring and directing. This is done by close personal surveillance and direction of subordinates by superiors, based on a set of rules. Rules vs. price: Rules are arbitrary (beliebige) standards without comparison, based on assigned values of (successful) actions. Prices imply that a comparison has already taken place. Prices are far more efficient means of controlling transactions than are rules. However, the conditions necessary for frictionless prices can rarely be met, and in such conditions the bureaucratic form, despite its inadequacies, is preferred. 3.Informal social / clan mechanism Supervisors can rely on bureaucratic mechanisms but this requires surveillance which is associated with costs. But when the supervisor knows that his workers achieve the ââ¬Å"rightâ⬠objectives, he can eliminate many of the costly forms of audition and surveillance. Social and informational prerequisites of control The three models can be arranged along two dimensions: 1.Informational requirements =prerequisite to successful operation 2.Social underpinnings = Set of agreements between people, as a bare minimum, is basis for control Type of controlSocial requirementsInformational requirements MarketsNorm of Reciprocity (Wechselwirkung) Prices BureaucracyNorm of Reciprocity Legitimate authorityRules ClanNorm of Reciprocity Legitimate authority Shared values, beliefsTraditions The informational prerequisite of control: While a Clan is the most demanding and the Market the least demanding with respect to social underpinnings, the opposite is true when it comes to information. Within large organizations departments tend to develop own jargon in which complex information is easily transported. Each system carries information on how to behave: â⬠¢Explicit system: accounting system ââ¬â easily accessible by newcomer (system is created) â⬠¢Implicit system: is far less complete in its ability to convey information. e.g. US Senate ââ¬â need years to understand flow of information (systems ââ¬Å"grow upâ⬠) Companies attempting to control the organization through a price (=market) mechanism use ââ¬Å"transfer pricesâ⬠to represent prices of internal performances. The advantage should be obtained by using the best prices within the firm. Organizations can also create an explicit set of rules (behavior as well as production and output) that will cover every situation and therefore cut the information problem down by using rules that will cover 90% of all events and depending upon hierarchical authority to settle the remaining 10%. Again legitimate authority is critical to bureaucracy. In a Clan the information is contained in the rituals, stories and ceremonies. So to say the information system does not require a information system, itââ¬â¢s just there. For example Chinese-American Hui: conducts business as venture capital lender but they also enter risky businesses and even the repayments are left open. Entry is only granted by birthright, a practice that guarantees that every member is part in the same social network and therefore behave to the same rules and principles. While the Market and Clan are both specialized approaches it is the Bureaucratic which is the system that is most flexible. Of course, under certain circumstance both the Market and Clan approach will deliver better results but the Bureaucratic can withstand high rates of turnover, a high degree of heterogeneity and it does not have very demanding informational needs. Designing Control Mechanisms: Costs and Benefits Two ways of effective people control: 1. Find people that fit needs exactely 2. find people that donââ¬â¢t fit exactly but use a managerial system to instruct, monitor and evaluate them Best approach depends on costs. Ad 1. is associated with costs and search and acquisitions but their skills will help to reduce costs in the long-run. Ad 2. includes trainings costs and a the costs for the supervisory system but reduces high turnover. Search and select ââ¬Ëclan-typeââ¬â¢ people: Cost of Search and Acquisition: High Wages Benefit: Perform tasks without instruction, work hard Instruct people into the ââ¬Ëclanââ¬â¢ system: Cost of training: instruct, monitor, and evaluate unskilled workers (who are likely to be indifferent to learn organization skills and values). High rates of turnover. Costs of monitoring: developing rules, supervising. Benefit: heterogeneous system of people that can be controlled. Explicit rules (codified knowledge) offset turnover costs. Loose coupling and The Clan as a Form of Control New view with impact on designing control mechanisms. The ability to measure either output or behavior which is relevant to the desired performance is critical to the ââ¬Å"rationalâ⬠application of market or bureaucratic forms of control. Knowledge of transformation process: Tin Can plant: If we understand the technology (e.g. production process and what it takes for a successful production) perfectly, we can achieve effective control by setting rules that lead to behavior and processes that lead to our desired transformation steps. Thus, we can create an effective bureaucratic control mechanism. Womenââ¬â¢s boutique: On the other hand, if we donââ¬â¢t understand what is needed (e.g. control system for womenââ¬â¢s boutique) to be a successful buyer or merchandiser, we canââ¬â¢t create rules. But we can measure output (turnover per buyer, salex volumes,â⬠¦). So we can use the output control mechanism to monitor various indicators and set actions accordingly. Apollo Program: Each step of the transformation (assembling) is crystal clear and we have a output measure (it comes back or not). Thus we have the choice and the lower cost alternative will be preferred: clearly as the cost of failure would be prohibitive (untragbar) and more elaborate behavior control system will be installed. Reseach Lab: We have the ability to define the rules of behavior and we can measure the output which will be some 10 years in the future. Certainly a strong output control system will be used but effectively this cannot guarantee success ââ¬â so neither behavior nor output measurement will be sufficient, leaving us with no rational form of control. Therefore such organizations rely on ritualized, ceremonial forms of controls. This approach only works with the recruitment of a selected few individuals, with the same schooling and professionalization process. Another organizations using this form: Hospitals, Investement banks, â⬠¦ Whereas output and behavior control can be implemented through a market or bureaucracy, ceremonial forms of control can be implemented through a clan. Closing observations Depending on the organization and its requirements it has to be choosen which control systems works best. E.g.: manufacturing: behavior and output control vs. service org.: cultural or clan controls. Nevertheless every control system is directed at achieving cooperation by: â⬠¢Market mechanism: each personââ¬â¢s contribution is evaluated; combined with a personal loss of reward â⬠¢Clan mechanism: attain cooperation by selecting and sozialising individuals such that their objectives overlap with the organizationââ¬â¢s objectives â⬠¢Bureaucratic mechanism: does a little of each, partly evaluates performance and partly engenders feelings of commitment to the idea of legitimate authority in hierarchies Two main questions: 1.

The definition of apostasy according to the dictionary is
"the abandonment or renunciation of a political or religious belief"
We are looking at the way apostasy has affected God's will in the world. From before man was ever created, apostasy was found in Lucifer. He was God's most beautiful, created angel. God had total faith in him until "iniquity was found in his heart". You don't turn your back on an enemy and God allowed Lucifer the privilege of standing behind His throne. What happened to cause Lucifer to leave this precious place of favor, love and fellowship with his creator? We have to look at the word iniquity to understand. Again, the dictionary defines iniquity as "wickedness". But, what perverted Lucifer and caused him to go from an exalted place in Heaven to a place of anger, hostility, lies, hatred, immorality and every other form of willfulness against God? It is here that we find the reason for apostasy in Lucifer, his fallen angels, and all of mankind.
Lucifer was filled with a deep and forever rebellion against God because of God's plan to create man in God's own image. Lucifer listened to the "three in one" lay out the plan for man's creation which included putting angels at man's command. Angels were to be "ministering spirits to man because man was an "heir" of salvation". Lucifer went from selflessness to self-centeredness and with that became filled with every kind of wickedness imaginable. He became the first apostate by abandoning the call on his life in favor of wanting to do his own thing.
Lucifer knew that by severing the mind of God from the mind of man through causing man to believe a lie, that man would become his, Lucifer's slave. After the fall of mankind, because of Adams' sin in the Garden of Eden, man's character took on the attributes of his new master. Even though man was created in the image of the living God and given the place of being God's most precious treasure, man was Lucifer's slave because he had chosen to believe Lucifer's lies.
As we look into the history of the church, we find that as the apostate spirit from Lucifer continued to cause God's people to believe lies, they broke away from the desire to belong to their Creator and walked in the same self-centeredness that Lucifer lives in. With this apostasy, man became open to every kind of evil and wicked desire that Lucifer continues to tempt him with to this day. And, because man chooses to leave the place of safety and blessing with God, his life is corrupted in deeper and deeper ways.
Historically, mankind has followed the "prince of this world" and fallen away from the truth. For the past 2000 years every kind of division Lucifer could come up with has separated man from the place of privilege, safety, and blessing that God has waiting for him. It is Lucifer's delight and desire to deceive everyone, and he is very good at what he does.
In today's world Lucifer has seemingly won in his battle for mankind to be with him in degradation, immorality, conceitedness, corruption and depravity. I would tremble if I didn't know what the word says to us through the Apostle Paul
2 Timothy 3:
Know this, that in the last days, perilous times shall come. For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God: having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, ever learning, and never come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yea and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou I the things which thou has learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou has learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
And hast made Kings and Priests unto our God and His Father. Revelations 1:6. I pray that our minds remain fixed on this wonderful truth and we do not exchange this truth about God for a lie.

The appeal of online deals on Cyber Monday has been growing steadily for several years. This year it is estimated that sales will be about 19% above last year's with $9.4 billion in sales on that day alone. For the first time this year, more Americans say they are planning to shop on Cyber Monday than on Black Friday. With numbers like that you can be sure that the scammers are out in force!
All the usual online shopping reminders are equally important for Cyber Monday. Among the key safe practices are:
The initial article in this series recommended using only one credit card for Black Friday shopping. Consider extending that strategy by using only one (different) card for online shopping. Separating retail and online shopping makes it easier to monitor your accounts, which should be done frequently at this time of year. A third card for sites where you shop frequently is useful, and be careful about giving even those sites permission to save your payment information. The more sites that have your payment information, the greater the danger of being hacked. Examine your level of trust about a dozen times before you allow any site to save payment information.
Cyber Monday is such a tempting target that there are many focused scams, some achieving new prominence this year. All the usual safe practices apply, but here are some special things to watch out for:
Remember to:
Shopping online is a wonderful convenience. Staying safe is a matter of taking reasonable precautions and not being lured into phony deals. Add safety to convenience, and have a wonderful shopping experience!

- Thank you, Drew Barrymore, for sharing your story about teen alcoholism with us (PEOPLE, Jan. 16). After reading the story, my 14-year-old sister came forward to let the family know that she too had a problem with drinking. Like many others, I'm sure we always had the attitude of, "It would never happen in our family." By sharing your story, you allowed us to catch the problem before it got out of hand.

- Drew Barrymore is the perfect example of a child whose parents did not discipline her. Sometimes the first to say no must be the parents. Drew should be commended for her courageous uphill struggle to lead a meaningful life and for her efforts to help others avoid her tragedy.
- Karen Kruse
- St. Louis
It amazes me that Drew's mother had "no idea what was going on." If she had read PEOPLE's Star Tracks section, she would have seen her daughter partying and hitting the nightclubs at an early age. No child needs that much space or time. My son is almost 17, and I know where he is and what he's doing. Children need guidance, not a mother who wants to be a sister.

- If Drew Barrymore were an ordinary child she would now be in foster care, her mother charged with child endangerment and the adults who provided her with the addictive substances facing legal action.

I'm tired of spoiled movie stars who drink, take drugs, go to a clinic and then expect us to feel sorry for them while they tell all. Drew, grow up.

How wonderful that there are dedicated people such as Dr. Galdikas who selflessly work to save endangered species such as the orangutan. Dr. Galdikas is teaching us that orangutans are part of our family. Can you please tell me where to write to my long-lost relatives and send support for her work?

Mr. Nugent's defending his right to hunt is as lame and mindless as the sad excuse for rock music that he has been recording all these years. According to Mr. Nugent, hunting prevents the lingering death of animals after a harsh winter. Maybe he doesn't realize that the lack of food that leads to starvation is caused by man's devastation of the wilderness. Maybe he doesn't realize that there are ways to stop overpopulation—such as birth control—which don't involve blowing innocent creatures into tiny bits.
Dan Weiss

We are constantly being told that animals slaughtered for their skins or hunted for recreation must be harvested by humans to save them from starving to death or dying of disease. Free-roaming animals can and do control their own populations when allowed to do so without human intervention. Hunting actually increases the reproductive rate in the remaining females of a hunted species. Starvation and disease are unfortunate, but natural ways of ensuring that the strong of a species survive.

I would like to know how we as a society can allow Walker Railey to just walk away from what he did to his family. Not only to his beautiful wife, now in a vegetable state, and to her parents, who are caring for her, but also to those two children deprived of their mother. Blaming it on demons just doesn't do it for me, Walker.

God bless Peggy Railey's parents for their love and devotion. Their respect for life and for their daughter as a human being is an encouraging lesson for all of us.

In response to Dr. Lee Salk's comments about the country's devil-may-care daycare attitude, let me say that I have a 3-year-old who is in a day-care center of my choice. She is well cared for and happy. Like most young women, I need to supplement my husband's income. My daughter has brought happiness and love into our lives. Don't tell me I can't work, have a child and love her too.

and the Washington Post lead with the grand jury appearance of Monica's mom. But to the New York Times and Los Angeles Times there's something much sexier than the presidential love Jones–the Dow Jones. The NYT lead reports that American households have more of their fortunes invested in the stock market than at any time in the last 50 years, and maybe ever.
USAT reports that Marcia Lewis (nee Lewinsky) is due back in the grand jury room today after being compelled to answer questions yesterday about her daughter's relationship with President Clinton. The paper reports that according to some people in the know, Lewis was "aware of a relationship between Lewinsky and the president." Also, that Lewis was aware her daughter was "infatuated" with Clinton. Lewinsky is scheduled to appear before the same grand jury later this week. And the dailies all quote her lawyer's comment that she will testify if his attempts to quash the grand jury subpoena are unsuccessful. "She has," says William Ginsburg, "no intention of falling on her sword." Note to Ginsburg: ixnay on the sword metaphors.
The WP adds that Lewis was privy to Lewinsky's taped account of her relationship with Clinton, and that her reaction to her daughter's attempt to conceal it from outsiders was, "What's the big deal? So she lied and convinced someone else to lie." The paper effortlessly ticks off several of the scandal's other new poontangents: a federal judge's denial of Clinton's request for a speed-up of the Paula Jones case, another federal judge's allowing Kenneth Starr to get his hands on a sealed deposition made by the allegedly lipstick-smeared and disheveled Oval Office visitor Kathleen Willey, and the turn-over to Starr of boxes of Jones case materials about yet other women thought linked to Clinton.
But the Post goes a bit overboard with 120-plus words on an alleged conversation between Lewis and Lewinsky's former White House supervisor that reveal nothing about the conversation except that it lasted less than five minutes and was not confrontational. The NYT does a little better, saying the discussion was Mom's inquiry into why Monica was transferred out of the White House. The Post blind-sources this episode, while the NYT credits it by name to Lewis' fianc,.
None of the papers' accounts addresses a natural question: If spouses can't be compelled to testify against each other, how come a mother (especially one who's apparently her child's "closest confidante") can be compelled to testify against a daughter? Why, in the law, is water thicker than blood?
The Wall Street Journal recently caught a lot of hell for its ultimately retracted story that a White House steward had told the Starr grand jury the president had been alone with Ms. Lewinsky. Well, on today's WP front, a retired Secret Service agent is saying the same thing.
The possible Iraq attack takes a number and waits. Yes, it gets the off-lead at USAT and a spot on the NYT front. However, at the WP, the Secretary of Defense's various burnoose conferences slip to page 23. But "Titanic"'s 14 Oscar nominations are front page at the Post and LAT.
The WSJ reports that, thus far, CBS' Winter Olympic ratings are about 17 percent below what was promised to advertisers, raising the prospect of expensive givebacks to them.
An FOTP sends along this AP dispatch from that ex-midshipwomen's murder trial: "On Monday, jurors in the trial appeared bored or puzzled by the defense team's tactic of presenting a number of witnesses." Hmmm.what were they expecting?
The NYT scrupulously corrects a prior misstatement of the words making up the acronym of the James Bond nemesis organization "SPECTRE." Which is particularly odd given the frequency with which Times readers are left seriously confused about many of the paper's more significant alleged redemptions and original sins. Here's a tip, though: "failure to attribute phrasing" means "plagiarism."

"Mummy look at my drawing," with all innocence she begs to call the attention of mummy to her work of colors.
"Mummy how I look in this dress, Daddy can you listen to me once." In most of the homes, this is the most common demands we commonly hear.
And Mommy and daddy don't answer. And this response too most typically happens in many homes.
As parents, we work hard every day for our children. Parenting, we have to understand, is more than buying those gifts, dropping at school, celebrating their birthdays. The parenting is seen more importantly, in giving your time – both physically and emotionally.
While each of us requires praise, its requirement is highest for children. How much attention you are as a parent willing to allot depends upon how much time you are keen to devote to spend with your child.
To give the best advantage to your child the best gift you can give him is your time. To provide him as much as he demands that is appropriate for his age.
Children spending time together with parents in various activities are likely to become a common platform for understanding between parents and children. When a child sees happiness flowing freely between herself and her parents, she feels valued, and her sense of worth builds up.
Every child needs a good amount of bonding time to spend with their parents frequently.
At home, parents have to plan a definite time for family togetherness activities. It should be a part of the daily routine. Theactivitiesencouragechildren to develop strong emotional ties with their siblings and parents.
Parents if they can allow specific time in the evenings to spend with their children with schoolwork, or completing home works, planning for projects.
The time spent, often, during their school years with children would help them to approach parents with less fear. And enable openly talk over their academic problems. When children are comfortable with their parents discussing academic issues, it can help them perform better at school academically.
The enthusiasm of the parents quickly flows to their children. If parents are good-humored, full of positive energy; the children don't fall behind to follow them. Children mostly imitate parents. Whatever the parents set as good behavior by spending quality time the children they are more likely to adopt those behaviors. That could in future help them when they grow up. They learn to display sharing, kindness, and understanding in their relationships in their lives.
If parents are alert and willing to spend time with their children, they will discover all the elements that interest the children. They can have fun and enjoy each other's company. Certainly, this is the best way to weave together the family unity and harmony.
