most effective for students when they take advantage of the lessons provided and are motivated to do great work." Translation: concentrate on learning the facets of the field you intend to enter. The money will come later.Finding an internship is, much like when you applied to college, a process. If you are considering applying for a position it is a clear indication that you are motivated. The next step is to translate that into action. Most competitive summer internships have February deadlines for all applicants. Be sure to keep this in mind when you in the throes of Lv Capucines
their career paths and develop the tools necessary to succeed. At the same time, an increasingly competitive job market fosters an environment in which soon to be college grads are doing anything they can to bolster their resumes and enhance their marketability. Aside from achieving a 4.0 GPA, there are a number of things a college student can do to stand out to potential employers.Students can advance their status by participating in campus sponsored clubs and organizations, by doing volunteer work, or by holding down part time jobs. However, none of these will help them to realize their passions or prepare them more for stepping out into the "real world" than valuable time spent as an intern.There are two main reasons for seeking an internship prior to graduating college.First, the four years you spend as an undergraduate are meant as a period to determine which field you would be comfortable choosing for a potential career. Russell Ventura, Internship Coordinator at Boston College said, "For many liberal arts majors, they find themselves interested in multiple fields. Compiling an impressive series of jobs indicates a clear eagerness to achieve. Employers often offer full time positions to their soon to graduate interns.According to Beth Settje, Internship Coordinator and Career Consultant at the University of Connecticut, "Employers have shared with us that they look for internship experience on a student resume; additionally employers often prefer to offer full time positions to those who have worked for their organization in an internship, as the new employee is already vested and may have even been trained."How do I get an internship?The key to gaining this practical work experience, which is initially hard for the typical college student to do, is to find your own engine and to take the initiative. For the most part, no one is going to seek you out to work for their company. Therefore, you have to do the legwork and utilize any and all potential resources until your goals are met.The career center at your college is an outstanding Louis Vuitton Hobo Monogram place to start. There you will find experienced professionals who deal with the process on a daily basis. Valuable resources include up to date contacts and job descriptions submitted by company recruiters and online job search databases specific to interns or new grads. Experts also offer top notch advice on submitting resumes and cover letters, and how to succeed in an interview. Taking your search one step further, an excellent option is to ask older friends and family about possible openings. Hiring managers are more apt to hire someone with a good reference from within the company. Don be afraid to use who you know!College is four years long, leaving much time to gain the necessary experience to make your mark in the marketplace after graduation. The majority of students holding internships are juniors and seniors, but that doesn mean you can try to start searching or trying to improve your chances earlier."There is no set timeline when it comes to internships," said Geni Harclerode of the career center at the University of Michigan. "While some internships are available only to upperclassmen, many employers are open to hiring students at a variety of academic levels, including first year students, so it is never too early to seek out experiential learning opportunities,"Should I take an unpaid internship?Many interns face a dilemma when considering which opportunities to apply for or accept. The problem is many employers offer their candidates a wealth of experience, but nothing else in the way of compensation.The consensus among experts interviewed is a belief in the principle of delayed gratification. If you financially able to forgo the remuneration, the experience far outweighs the immediate monetary gain.According to Scott Mofield of the career center at Duke University, "Unpaid internships can provide great experiences. An important idea for students to remember is that an internship gives them value to employers because of the opportunity, not because of the salary they are paid. An internship doesn hold more or less value over another because it is paid or unpaid. An internship is Lv Limited Edition 2018

TV used to be a distraction in itself, a way to tune out, unwind, empty your mind after a long day. It was called the 'boob tube' and the 'idiot box' because people became so transfixed by it.
Now we're too distracted for that distraction. 70.3% of the U.S. population will regularly use another device while watching TV. Despite the increase in engaging, high quality content designed specifically to capture our attention, we can't sit through 30 minutes of a show without checking our device.
Our attention spans are shortening and we're losing the ability to be present and relax during even the most passive entertainment. Focus and attention are becoming rare commodities.

The role of communication in relationships can hardly be over stressed.
It is an established fact that our quality of relationship is directly dependent on our quality of communication.
Our effective communication can enhance our understanding of people and people's understanding of ourselves, which in return allows our relations to flourish and prosper.
I have a question for you; Do you love your mother more than your father? The response would vary; though my experience has been that Moms tend to win this one particularly.
The reasons could be different but "expression of love and care" are the reasons mostly accounted for Moms being voted as the favorites, link this "expression of love and care" with communication. How well you have "communicated' your appreciation and love for your parents? More importantly let me ask you how do you or would you "communicate" your love to your parents or your loved ones? This question is meant to make you conscious and make you reflect on your personal communication styles that you "unknowingly" might be using to communicate and receive different responses from what you were expecting.
Consciousness helps to alter your communication style according to different communication situations.
When you communicate with your relations, It would increase what you know of your relationship with them. In my discussions, this question has always generated a lot of interest and varied responses. Honestly answer the above question on how well you have communicated your appreciation and love for your parents (for the simple reason that our parents love us) and you would know "why it's important to communicate" and for that you need to know about communication.
As teachers we consider ourselves "spiritual parents". As spiritual parents how well have we been able to communicate our care to our students and how? How can we better communicate with them is the focus. The better the communication, the better would be their understanding of you and resultantly of your subject. Try it! You will be amazed by the results.

Middle of the road Is trying to find me Well I'm standing in the middle of life With my pains behind me But, I got a smile For everyone I meet As long as you don't try dragging my bay Or dropping the bomb on my street Now just come on baby Oh, get in the road Oh, come on now In the middle of the road, yeah In the middle of the road You see the darnedest things Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids And man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery But when you own a big chunk of the bloody Third World The babies just come with the scenery Oh, come on baby Get in the road Oh, come on now In the middle of the road, yeah One, two, three, four, five, six In the middle of the road Is my private cul-de-sac Well, I can't get from the cab to the curb Without some little jerk on my back And don't harass me Can't you tell I'm going home? I'm tired as Hell I'm not the cat I used to be I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby Well, get in the road Come on now In the middle of the road, yeah, now

Federal Funds for Preventative Health Services
In response to the April 12th opinion piece, "Abortion clash at heart of shutdown debate," VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood would like to correct some factual errors.
While the media surrounding the federal budget debates centered on abortion, the fact is that the federal funding in question is what allows Planned Parenthood to provide high-quality, low-cost, preventative health care to women, men, and teens. These federal dollars go to annual PAP exams, contraceptives, breast and cervical cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment. Federal law already prohibits the use of federal dollars for abortion services via the Hyde Amendment. Thankfully, 58 US senators saw past the rhetoric behind this amendment; eliminating Planned Parenthood from federal grant money is not only fiscally irresponsible and bad public health policy, but it would also leave several hundreds of people in Alaska without access to basic preventative health services. Primarily, the people to bear the burden of that legislation would have been low-income and uninsured women. Thankfully, both Alaska senators, Senator Mark Begich and Senator Lisa Murkowski, saw the danger in this kind of legislation, and voted in favor of women's health.
Planned Parenthood does more than any other organization in the nation to decrease the rate of abortion in our country. Nationwide, over 90% of the services provided by Planned Parenthood are preventative. And preventing unplanned pregnancies is the only way to lower the rate of abortion in the US. This means giving women, men, and teens access to the information and resources that will keep them healthy and help them plan whether and when to have a child.
April happens[ed] to be Get Yourself Tested (GYT) month, an effort put on by MTV and Planned Parenthood. Alaska often leads the nation with high rates of Chlamydia and gonorrhea—not to mention the high rates of sexual assault and domestic violence that our state reports every year. It seems we have very serious issues to face as a state. Arguing over the less than 1% of the federal budget that pays for annual exams is not helping anyone.

I recieved a few emails and messages regarding the short post I did on director Russ Meyer's early career as a glamour photographer and decided to put up this short post showcasing a few of his photographs. I have only attached pictures on here that I have actually been able to verify that Meyer took. If you search online the internet chucks a whole lot of beautiful images at you but a lot of them are wrongly credited to Meyer. These are just a few and I suggest anyone interested in sourcing any other images look for/physically buy any old mens/girlie magazines that he either contributed to or shot the front cover for, pick up his autobiography A Clean Breast which has a stack of gorgeous stills he took over the years or pick up The Glamour Camera of Russ Meyer which is all about his photography. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these beauties. They just don't make them like this anymore…

Retail sales rose 0.2% in January, whereas market participants had expected no growth. The decline in December was revised from 1.2% to 1.6%. (Event A on the chart.)
Business inventories expanded 0.6% in December, matching analysts' forecasts exactly, after demonstrating no change in the prior month. (Event B on the chart.)

text: Idiot journalists and others are confused with the timing of the firing of Brian Burke. Its not confusing at all. Instead of being angry at the leafs organization, for the lockout AND for not firing Burke, now they're excited for the season and happy the wishes of a majority of leafs fans have been listened to. Its actually brilliant misdirection. They kept Burke on the payroll until now just for this. Maybe. But if they did, that's brilliant manipulation of their fanbase. Bravo.

If women discover they are earning less than their male counterparts for the same jobs, their legal avenues for pursuing equal pay are limited, explains Alice Orchiston, Associate Lecturer in Law at University of Sydney. It's difficult to prove and costly to litigate. Sex discrimination cases are very difficult to prove: the claimant needs to prove that she was paid less than a man in the same circumstances, but the employer can point to reasons unconnected with gender to explain a pay discrepancy.

Nightmare: Doctor tied to Tree; Wife, Daughter Gang-raped by Armed Youths, 20 Held
Bihar: In a dreadful incident reported in the state's Gaya district, a group of armed youths tied a medical practitioner to a tree and raped his wife and 15-year-old daughter, a senior police official informed.
The man, who runs a clinic, shut shop around 8 pm and was heading home with his wife and daughter. The family was intercepted while they were crossing the area on a motorcycle near Sondiha village in Konch Police Station area late that night.
"The three were passing through Sondiha on a motorcycle when they were waylaid by the youths carrying firearms. They raped the mother and the daughter after tying the father to a tree," Inspector General of police, Patna Zone, Naiyar Hasnain Khan informed PTI.
Before leaving the scene, rapists freed the medical practitioner and threatened him with dire consequences if he informed the police. The medical practitioner, however, called the police from his cell phone and informed them about the incident, reports HT.
In his statement to the police, the medical practitioner said that he had tried to fight the men but was overpowered by the armed men.
Shortly, Gaya senior superintendent of police (SSP) Rajeev Mishra and Sherghati sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Manish Kumar reached the spot and arranged for an ambulance to send the rape victims to the Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College (ANMMCH) for treatment.
The SSP confirmed to HT that during the raids conducted at Sondiha and two adjoining villages, 20 suspected youths were detained within two hours of the incident in Konch police station area.
Adding to that, he said, "The victims have identified two of them as the other criminals had covered their faces while committing the crime… the accused are being questioned."
Following the incident, the Station House Officer (SHO) was suspended. IG Khan confirmed, "Efforts are on to arrest others involved in the crime… the SHO has been suspended with immediate effect for the lapse on his part, and a departmental action will follow." An FIR has been registered on the statement of the victims.
"It also came to light during the investigation that before the gang-rape incident, the same group of youths snatched away mobile phones and cash from a couple of students passing through the village," Khan told the news agency.

From the recording Home Grown
I been sitting in this apartment — feels like for thirteen years.
Since I was back in college just a few short miles from here.
My future was bright and shiny — I had wings upon my feet.
And I didn't give a damn about anybody else but me.
This is home — apartment number 8.
This is home — won't you sit down in the shade?
The garden's all grown over, and the neighbors come and go.
But Chris has lived across the street for 7 years or so.
Now the plaster's peeling from the walls, and the ceiling's got some leaks.
I can walk through here with my eyes closed and still avoid the creaks.
This is home — where the best plans have been laid.
This is home — where I grew up much too late.
Will you lay down beside me before it gets too late.
And let me welcome you into my home.
I've been sitting in this apartment waiting for my ship to sail.
But the canvas started rotting through and there's rust upon the rail.
Back when I dropped my anchor I didn't know it'd be so long
before I'd saved up enough cash to pack up and move on.
How many times can I promise myself that everything turns for the best?
How many years can a woman pretend she deserves just what she gets?
But this is home — where I've learned from my mistakes.
This is home — where my dreams began to fade.
Won't you lay down beside me before it gets too late.
And let me welcome you into my home.

Relaunch Coming Soon!January 29, 2010
Mia Farrow a Woman of Strong ConvictionsApril 22, 2009
The AP reports Mia Farrow plans to begin a hunger strike next week in solidarity with the people of DarfurThe 64-year-old actress and humanitarian says she will begin a "fast of only water" on Monday "as a personal expression of outrage at a world that is somehow able to stand by and watch innocent men, women and children needlessly die of starvation, thirst and disease."
Farrow was moved to begin the hunger strike after the Sudanese government expelled international aid agencies from the country last month. Farrow says she is calling on world leaders to "help build a credible peace process" to end the violence in Darfur. Her protest is part of Genocide Prevention Month, a campaign to stop genocide worldwide.

R.I.P. Lorne! Angel Wouldn't Have Been the Same Without YouMarch 31, 2009
Actor and singer Andy Hallett has passed away, aged 33. Hallet, best known for his recurring role as Lorne in hit U.S. TV show Angel, died from heart failure following a five-year battle against heart disease. He landed his first break after he was dragged on stage at a concert to sing with Patti Labelle – the performance kickstarted his career as a singer-songwriter. Hallett was spotted during a revue at a Los Angeles nightclub by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon, who created the demon character Lorne in the show's spin-off Angel just for him. The star appeared in 76 episodes before series ended in 2004. Hallet's subsequent ill health ended his acting career. He died on Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, with his father Dave Hallett by his side.

Sylvia Plath's Son Commits SuicideMarch 23, 2009
Wow! This is truly a sad thing. Nicholas Hughes, son of famed poets Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, apparently took his own life at 47-years old. Until recently Hughes had a teaching post at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks' school of fisheries and ocean sciences. He left that job to make pottery in a home studio, according to Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology.
"It is with profound sorrow that I must announce the death of my brother, Nicholas Hughes, who died by his own hand on Monday 16th March 2009 at his home in Alaska," his sister Frieda Hughes said in a statement published by The Times of London.
"He had been battling depression for some time," the statement said.
"He was a loving brother, a loyal friend to those who knew him and, despite the vagaries that life threw at him, he maintained an almost childlike innocence and enthusiasm for the next project or plan," it said.
We know that depression can be heredity, but can suicide be as well?

I guess it depends on how one uses the terms. In regards to myself, I use the term Atheist. For one thing, the knowing/not knowing ideas are often presented as if they were equal, but opposite, sides of an issue. I don't think this is the case. It may be that there are invisible, undetectable gnomes living in my rockwall. The fact that I am always open to evidence showing me otherwise, does not change the reality that I do not believe there are any gnomes living there. Belief and non-belief on this issue are not equal opposites.
Also, agnosticism offers religious folks safe harbor that I do not want to offer. During my short run with the term agnostic, I would often hear from religious folks "Whew! At least you are not an Atheist." Somehow, they interpret that term as playing for "their" team. Put two people of opposing religions in a room with an Atheist, and the religious folks will form a tentative truce. Remove the Atheist, and the opposing religions will go back to plotting the other's eternity in Hell. Atheism specifically sets me outside of that little game.

Why Atheist and not Agnostic?
3 comments:
Yeah, saying, I am an atheist, makes things simpler. Everyone knows what the word means.
What most Christians don't know is that they are atheists too.
- Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at 6:32:00 PM MDT
Ugh... another idiotic athiest who doesn't know that being agnostic isn't accepting other peoples religions but saying anything is possible and you are just as big of an idiot for believing in nothing as they are for believing in a man in the sky.
Agnostic A person who believes that nothing is known or can be known of the existence or nature of God or of anything beyond material phenomena...This means agnostics are open to ALL possibilities and don't limit our minds like Atheist's and religious nuts.

The hours that we clock up at work and the time spent actually doing work are different things. We may get to our office by 8am and not leave until 5.30 but the time in between this that we are being truly productive will be significantly less.
Two recent studies have concluded that the average worker spends less than 60% or their working day being productive and that for some only 2 hours and 53 minutes of an 8-hour workday are spent working.
Couple this with UK productivity reportedly being among the lowest in the developed world, and you can begin to see that we have a national problem. But what if we could use design to change this, to optimise those precious work hours?
Enter the new design concept of the Eudaimonia Machine. "The what?" we hear you say - the Eudaimonia Machine is a precise work space layout based upon Aristotle's concept of eudaimonia, meaning the epitome of human capability. And it's not quite as complex as it might at first sound.
Eudaimonia describes the highest state of being – a classic example given to illustrate this is that of a kitchen knife: eudaimonia for a knife is being sharp and cutting. If it's dull or just resting on the counter, it's not achieving its highest state. And this concept is being applied to people when they are at work and how the environment that they work in can assist in them being fully productive.
In an attempt to reduce the distractions that we all face on a daily basis in the work place, the Eudaimonia Machine design is based on matching spaces to specific tasks and mindsets. It is about putting the "human" at the centre of office design rather than technology. Work spaces are divided into distinct zones, with areas for socialising having furniture you would be more used to seeing in your homes, and spaces where the hard work needs to be accomplished having more traditional office furniture.
Other zones are included as well, such as "well-being" spaces that may have a proliferation of plants, or showering facilities, and libraries full of books that will help staff achieve their potential, but minus technology that can be as distracting as it can helpful.
The ideas behind this design concept are still in their infancy, with a New York store trailing an experimental retail concept that has just opened, and two more projects in the pipeline in the US. Will this design concept take off? We'll have to watch and see in 2019, but the tenet behind it makes sound architectural and commercial sense.

Hundreds of thousands of Russian troops will take part in the country's largest ever military drills Tuesday, in a massive show of force featuring Chinese soldiers that has rattled the West.
The week-long deployment dubbed "Vostok-2018" (East-2018), which will kick off in eastern Siberia and includes the Chinese and Mongolian armies, has been condemned by NATO as a rehearsal for "large-scale conflict".
President Vladimir Putin is expected to attend Vostok-2018 after hosting an economic forum in Russia's far eastern city Vladivostok where his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping is one of the prominent guests.
The military exercises come at a time of escalating tensions between Moscow and the West over accusations of Russian interference in western affairs and ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Syria.
The Russian army has compared the show of force to the USSR's 1981 war games that saw between 100,000 and 150,000 Warsaw Pact soldiers take part in "Zapad-81" (West-81) — the largest military exercises of the Soviet era.
But Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu said this time would be even larger, with 300,000 soldiers, 36,000 military vehicles, 1,000 planes and 80 warships taking part in the drills.
"Imagine 36,000 military vehicles moving at the same time: tanks, armoured personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles — and all of this, of course, in conditions as close to a combat situation as possible," Shoigu said.

Forum: Robert Adler helped tennis tourney thrive in New Haven
In 1979, Hamden Probus club started a tennis tournament as a fundraiser. It was held at Edgewood Park in New Haven and our sponsor was Miller Lite Beer.
In 1980, we moved the tournament to the tennis courts at Southern Connecticut State University and our sponsor was the Elmco Service stations. Then, in 1981 we needed a new sponsor and somewhere in the back of my mind I recalled that Bic pen had sponsored a professional basketball team named the Hamden Bics in the Eastern Professional Basketball League.
I think the Bic team lasted about two or three years in that league and then dropped out. The president of Bic at that time was Robert Adler, and while he wasn't a close friend of mine, I knew him well enough to call him and I did. In typical Bob manner, he said get your butt down here and we'll talk — so I got in my car and drove to see Bob at Bic's headquarters in Milford.
I explained to Bob that we needed $5,000 for Bic to be our sponsor and I also explained how Probus was doing this to raise money for intellectually disabled and autistic children. But I think he already knew this and so Bic became our sponsor and once again we held the tournament at SCSU.
However, before I left Bob's office that day, he told me that he had somebody working for him who could beat any of the players in our tournament, upon which he picked up his phone and said, 'Dennis get in here.' As it turned out, the Dennis that Bob called into his office is Dennis Burleigh, who succeeded Ron Shaw as president of Pilot Pen.
Bic did not repeat as our sponsor for the following year because, as Bob Adler explained to me: Larry, you have to move your tournament to Yale in order to attract more people. At that time, Yale wasn't ready to allow us to do that; however, that's another story.
The whole point of this story is this: if it wasn't for Robert Adler and Bic, there may have never been a Pilot Pen Open and, in turn, the upcoming tennis tournament that we will be seeing in New Haven at the beautiful tennis stadium that did not exist in those early days.
To Robert Adler I say, "Thank you, Bob, and may you rest in peace."
Larry Hoffman is a past president of Hamden Probus, which he describes as a group of dedicated men who gave of themselves to help people with special needs to lead a better way of life.

Happy New Year!
Time to clean off the desk after a busy, eventful 2012…
First of all, a big congratulations to my sweetheart, Martha Halda, whose memoir, A Taste of Eternity, is now at book proposal and agent stage.
Martha first thought of writing this book while recovering from a horrendous 1999 car accident in which she was pronounced clinically dead three times — and had a profound Near Death Experience that has defined her physical and spiritual life since. To give you an idea of how far she has come from that accident? After her family was initially told she would be an invalid for the rest of her life, she went on to complete the 2002 Dublin Marathon, and lives a healthy, robust life today.
Now, she's written the first three chapters of A Taste of Eternity, and looking forward to a 2013 publish date. Martha has also started a blog, in which she'll share a few stories from the book and how her daily life continues to be touched by those precious minutes she spent directly in God's hands.

Between Christmas and New Year's, I picked up a very interesting project: to write a Cliff Notes-type "specimen" for Barnes & Noble. The book in question? One of my all-time favorite novels, The Dharma Bums. Once again, interest in the Beat generation and author Jack Kerouac is flying through the roof, this time because of the December 21 film release of On The Road, Kerouac's breakthrough novel. When Kristen Stewart is one of the three lead actors (she plays Marylou), the movie figures to draw attention for younger moviegoers. Many will likely turn to the rich soil of Beat literature, which continues to speak to the young, disenfranchised, soul and purpose seekers.
However, The Dharma Bums project excites me for another reason. In the decade since the last time I read the 1958 autobiographical novel about Kerouac's awakening to nature and Buddhism, I've gotten to know the real-life Japhy Ryder, the novel's protagonist. With this book, Kerouac turned mountain man-Buddhist-poet-conversationalist extraordinaire Gary Snyder into a cultural hero and the leader of the "rucksack revolution", a good 15 years before Gary won the Pulitzer Prize for Turtle Island. What amazes me is how little Kerouac deviated from Gary's voice and character in what was supposed to be a fictional character. Every time I read Japhy Ryder's dialogue, I could hear Gary expounding on something or another during the many times we would get together in Northern California. The actions, the convictions, the interests, the profound knowledge and wisdom … all Gary. And to think: he was only 25 when he and Kerouac had the experiences that formed the backbone of The Dharma Bums.
Ever read a novel where you personally know the protagonist? I hadn't, either. It certainly creates a different experience, one that I hope will add reading insight for the Barnes & Noble customers who pick up this treatment later in 2013.
• • •
Also on the shelves at Barnes & Noble, and newsstands throughout the country, is The Legacy Series Magazine. I was privileged to help conceptualize this magazine, as well as edit it. We began with a tribute to the late Steve Jobs and his enormous legacy to businesses and consumers (besides masterminding Apple products, he facilitated change or the creation of eight industries). Then we talked to some of the most visionary people and leading innovators in technology today, including Dallas Mavericks owner and Shark Tank co-star Mark Cuban, GE Senior VP Beth Comstock, bestselling author Ken Segall, Zinio Executive VP Jeanniey Mullen, Chris Voss of The Chris Voss Show, Ask.com co-founder (and my old high school friend) David Warthen, and iPhone Film Fest winner Craig Perkins.
We also wrote compelling features on the present and future courses of social media, filmmaking, technology, publishing, crowdfunding, music, green technology and cloud computing. All of these pieces brought out what I love most about fine magazine journalism: Great interviews, great insights, explanation of new concepts, and the writers' distinct abilities to inject their personal experience and the stories of others into the material they were covering. You want to know what's coming next in these areas? Get the mag.
The Legacy Series Magazine will be featured at MacWorld/iWorld in San Francisco in three weeks. We have a major announcement pending on possible multiple issues, but we will always produce the large annual publication in the fall.

I also had the privilege of serving as co-author to Dr. Steve Victorson in The Champion's Way. Steve and I spent three years gathering materials and writing this book, which revolves entirely around groundbreaking research Steve did in the late 1990s for his doctoral dissertation at Boston University. In that research, he interviewed more than 40 national, world and Olympic ski champions and top performers, and found 11 distinct characteristics in common between champions. These 11 characteristics are not found in any other books on the subject.
We put Steve's findings to the test with champions in all sports — and they rang true, in every case. Thus, The Champion's Way's 200 pages explore the inner and outer qualities of champions, look at nearly 100 repeat winners in 15 different sports, and point out specific ways in which all of us can develop, sharpen and refine our own latent championship qualities. Besides plenty of great sports anecdotes, the lasting value of The Champion's Way is how the 11 common characteristics can create top performance in our lives, no matter our vocation, sport or interest.
The Champion's Way is available through bookstores nationwide, and in both print and Kindle form on Amazon.com.

"Michelangelo worked with a sense of urgency as if he were afraid he would not have time to explore all that he saw of God's beauty in the work he created."
The old that is strong does not whither, deep roots are not reached by the frost." – J.R.R. Tolkien
Many artists, especially those basing their work on traditional forms, are familiar with the "cult of the new." There seems to be an idea, within the rarified world of fine art, that "new" is better than "good," or "beautiful." This has led to some of the more extreme examples of modern art that sell for staggering sums and leave people shaking their heads over what is perceived as "art."
But outside of this "art bubble" there are artists who respect the traditions of the past and build on them, taking those ancient forms and breathing new life into them for a new generation. These are artists who recognize that their role is to pursue beauty and show it to the world, even if the world around them no longer understands the power of the beautiful. The traditions of the past have proved their worth and their strength, they have proved their staying power by withstanding the test of time. How much so-called "modern art" will still be admired 500 years from now?
The Beauty of the Past
To reclaim the power of beauty we look to the past, to those forms of art, music, and architecture that are still regarded as beautiful hundreds or even thousands of years after they were created. Beauty is not as subjective as most people think. It can be said that what is beautiful is that which has been considered beautiful by the greatest number of people over the longest period of time.
There is power in the Beauty of the past.
But we are on the clock. We live finite live and the work before us is vast. We must be unrelenting in our pursuit of the beautiful.
The Need for Urgency
For most of his life, the great Renaissance artist, Michelangelo worked alone. Probably he just found it easier to work by himself rather than try to explain his vision to someone else. This would have added to his reputation as being aloof and a little grouchy. But later in his life, in his eighties, he did allow assistants to help him in sculpting the massive marble figures he had (Read More)

All new governors must complete a self declaration form to confirm that there are no grounds for them to be ineligible to serve as a governor. Some of the grounds for ineligibility include bankruptcy, being removed by the Charity Commissioners as a charity trustee, being sentenced to custodial sentences of certain duration, being on the list of people barred from working with children and being disqualified for non attendance. For governors seeking election, this will be done when they send in their nomination.
For appointed governors, it is likely that external appointing bodies will require prospective appointees to complete an eligibility self declaration, but this should be checked by the clerk.
It is advisable to ask all potential governors being considered for appointment – in any category – to complete the eligibility self declaration form ahead of the outcome of the appointment process, only successful candidates' paperwork being retained. This will mean there will be no delay in the governor being given a term of office and being able to start.
The governing body may wish to consider requesting proof of identity and proof of address for any governor who is appointed or elected and is not a member of staff.
As soon as the individual has been elected or appointed and has completed an eligibility self-declaration (and provided evidence of identity and address if required) they can be given a term of office.9208
Download the governors self declaration form
Child protection and safeguarding
Governors of maintained schools are no longer eligible for a full child protection check or a check against the barred lists as the position of governor is not deemed by the Department for Education to be a 'regulated activity'.
Checks will be handled by the new Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) which united the functions of the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) and the Independent Safeguarding Authority (ISA).
In view of the fact that governors should not normally be asked to undergo a DBS check for their role as a governor, Governing Body Support will no longer require any documentation concerning child protection checks. Governors must still complete the self declaration Form PD/SD at the commencement of each new term of office but these should be retained in school.
Governors of Academies will still require a child protection DBS check because of the requirements of company law.

Book Review Functional Programming For Java Developers
First off, this is a small book. 72 pages including a glossary. I was able to read it on a plne ride from Louisiana to Denver. Like the tagline says, I hope I never need this book.
As the title suggests, the book is about making Java more functional. On my team we spend half our time in Groovy and half on Scala. I suppose we have done similar things in Groovy. The support that Groovy has for closures makes it easier than it would have been in Java.
He also covers what is coming in Java for more FP features like closures. The syntax looks clunky but I could see living with it if I had no choice.
I found the book useful in reviewing and appreciating where I'm at. How things were in Java and how nice things are in Scala. Even if you don't need to do functional programming in Java right now I think this book is a good read. If my current gig fell apart and I had to do Java fulltime then I would grab this book to keep my sanity.

Greece and Rome in silent cinema: a screening of archival films with live music accompaniment
In the first four decades of cinema, hundreds of films were made that drew their inspiration from ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt and the Bible. Few of these films have been studied, and even fewer have received critical attention. No one has yet attempted to collate the large number of surviving silent films set in antiquity or analyze them as a group despite their many commonalities (of actors, directors, studios, and mode of representation). The films in question, ranging from historical and mythological epics to adaptations of ancient drama, burlesques, animated cartoons, and documentaries, suggest a preoccupation with the ancient world that competes in intensity and breadth with that of Hollywood's classical era.
This screening provides a small sample of rarely seen archival films set in ancient Greece and Rome from the collections of the British Film Institute National Archive and the Dutch EYE Film Institute. The screening will be introduced by Pantelis Michelakis (Senior Lecturer in Classics, University of Bristol) and Maria Wyke (Professor of Latin, University College London). The films will be accompanied on the piano by Stephen Horne, long considered as one of the leading silent film accompanists.

About the Evergreen Wealth Formula Is an Affiliate Marketing Training Course
In summary, the Evergreen Wealth Formula is an online affiliate marketing training course made by James Scholes. In addition to providing an actionable blueprint on how to set up your online business, it also does an excellent job at explaining the steps you need to take to feed new customers into your profit stream.

Being an adult usually means that I don't get to see my best friend as often as I'd like to – yay for responsibilities! Luckily this week our diaries aligned perfectly and it just so happened we could have brunch together unexpectedly. Since we were shopping in Shoreditch we decided to try out the insta-worthy restaurant based in Old Spitalfields market – Blixen.
The newest family member to the Clive Watson group of Riding House Cafe, Village East & Garrison fame- Blixen has a similar feel but with a unique Spitalfields makeover.
The brasserie has a stunning interior reminiscent of grand European cafes (think cosy leather seats, terrazzo-tiled floor and a long cocktail bar) leading on to a gorgeous conservatory, filled with plants and cosy seating. If you're worried about seating outdoors in winter you'll be pleased to hear that there's heaters and blankets.
I loved that the conservatory is an unexpected escape from the buzz of the city, overlooking the interior of the market. We walked in pretty much upon them opening only to be told we could only have a table for 45 minutes. Fine by us really, we only wanted to very quickly eat. Obviously we wanted to sit out in the conservatory and we're told we probably wouldn't get a seat because it's fully booked – it was empty. After about 15 minutes of the hostess avoiding us she reluctantly came over and said we could eat in the conservatory but it's extremely cold and we'd be rushed. I was beginning to feel like she didn't want us to be in there!
Still we remained polite and said we'd put up with the cold. Since the heaters were on and blankets provided it was surprisingly warm.
The menu is very small and having quickly scanned over the it, I must admit I was slightly disappointed to see that there wasn't much on the menu for available for vegetarians.
We opted for a grilled triple cheese sandwich with duxelles and piccalilli
Potato roost with spinach, poached egg & parmesan
Hummus and harissa served with toasted cracker bread.
For drinks we both ordered a 'good time' (lol) which is pear, pineapple and ginger. It was pleasant but nothing to rave about.
The food arrived promptly and looked pretty good. The hummus was lovely and the toasted cracker bread was a different touch. The rest of the food….well if I'm 100% honest, I liked the food but I didn't love it. I wanted so much to love it and rave about it to you all but two things weren't for me. Firstly the food lacked seasoning. I asked for chilli sauce (for the fries) and the waiter looked confused and slightly horrified.
Secondly the service. The actual waitress was lovely but the hostess who was reluctant to let us sit in the garden area irked me. Not so much at the beginning But more so as more people started to come in (who also hadn't booked), she offered them a choice as to where they wanted to sit. In the whole time we were there, no one else actually came to sit in the terrace area, so I'm still perplexed as to where all these bookings were.
All in all, the interior and attention to detail is just beautiful. I do love a simple menu, however with so many top notch brasseries opening up, the food has to be a little bit more adventurous for my tastebuds.
Would I recommend Blixen? Perhaps for a coffee or drinks, for the food? Not so much.

Avon Tyres has introduced a new van tyre designed to help fleets improve fuel efficiency and cut costs.
The AV12 replaces the AV11 and features 10% less rolling resistance – helping to improve fuel economy as a result – with a 5% improvement in wet braking ability bringing potential safety improvements.
The tyre, which comes in fitment ranges suitable for 80% of the commercial van market, also features a more durable sidewall, helping to ensure increased longevity and reducing fleet tyre costs.
The sidewall features protective kerbing 'wear ribs' while prominent sidewall 'buffer' – 6mm wider than that on the AV11 – also helps to avoid premature wear and minimise kerbing damage.
