Yellow teeth are the last thing you can hide from the world. It can get embarrassing at times particularly when you open your mouth to converse with people. Your white enamel has worn out to expose the yellowish dentil and this is something you can keep away from the world. This shows age has caught up with you or it shows your oral care is poor. In some cases, your dietary habits are also responsible for teeth discoloration. When you eat and drink too much tea or coffee, it can stain the teeth, erode the enamel and make the teeth stickier.
Similarly, sugary drinks are also bad for your teeth as they lead to staining and discoloration over time. The sugar present in them and the acid can harm the teeth with constant exposure. You should try using a straw to drink your favourite beverages as this will minimize the risk of discoloration and leave you with a great smile. Use of tobacco in any form including smoking can also cause discoloration and unless you quit the habit, your teeth will continue to be tinged with a yellow colour to ruin the smile. The habit can leave gey marks on a permanent basis which is hard to remove with brushing alone.
When you have discoloration, there are a number of home remedies which you can try and get desired results for your teeth. Baking soda is very effective in whitening the teeth when yellowish tinge has dented their natural shine and colour. You can mix little baking soda with water and apply it on teeth using fingers and leave it for 1 minute and then rinse to see the difference. But yes, be cautious with the amount of baking soda you use as if the quantity is not used right, it can lead to enamel erosion and inflammation in a gradual manner.
Fruit peel is also very helpful in removing stains and discoloration of the teeth and making the teeth whiter and whiter in a week or two. You can use the inside of an orange or banana peel and rub it on the teeth to recharge the enamel with magnesium, manganese and potassium. You can improve your diet and include crunchy and fibrous fruits to whiten the teeth in an easy manner. Fruits like apples, celery and carrots are great for your teeth as they are abrasive and can rub against the surface of the teeth to deliver whitening.
You can also improve oral care, take brushing and flossing more seriously and clean your tongue regularly to get whitening and brightening teeth easily. If nothing works, the best dentist in Hyderabad will always be there for help and for professional treatment. A dentist knows better why your teeth have gone discolored and you can expect quality treatment at affordable prices. Plus, stained teeth are always bad to have as they dilute the beauty of a smile and make you lose your confidence. So, trust home remedies and restore the natural shine and glow of your teeth easily. acc

Star Wars: Episode 3.5?
By AP/DERRIK J. LANG
Consider it Star Wars III and a Half — complete with a pivotal plot twist.
When LucasArts releases Star Wars: The Force Unleashed on Sept. 16, the video game will serve as George Lucas' official median between 2005's Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith and 1977's Star Wars: Episode IV — A New Hope. In the game, players become Darth Vader's secret apprentice and use The Force to hunt the remaining Jedi.
Force Unleashed allows gamers use supercharged Force powers to bust through objects, wield a lightsaber, blast lighting bolts and fling around foes. The game will also change the way fans view Episode IV through Episode VI — Return of the Jedi, LucasArts project lead Haden Blackman told The Associated Press at the E3 Business and Media Summit.
"There's a couple of big twists and turns in the story," said Blackman. "One revelation in particular really impacts the rest of the saga as a whole. It goes way beyond filling in gaps. We try to make a bridge on every level. The story has a real implications on Episode IV. In some ways, without the apprentice, Episode IV couldn't happen."
Versions of The Force Unleashed will be available on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2. Blackman and his team worked with Lucas to craft the original saga, which mixes both pre-established elements from the Star Wars universe as well as new characters, locales and details from game developers.
"We pitched a number of different story ideas and concepts to him," said Blackman. "With him, we picked and chose the strongest elements. As we worked on The Force Unleashed, he encouraged us to create new characters as well use existing characters. He told us, 'If you're going to use Vader, that's fine, but here's how you can use him.'"
In the first level, players will plow through the Wookie homeworld of Kashyyyk as Darth Vader. Subsequent levels find players serving as Vader's apprentice and traveling to such locales as a TIE Fighter construction facility, the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, the overgrown planet of Felucia and back to an Empire ravaged Kashyyyk.
"Story-wise, we left some openings for a sequel," said Blackman. "The concept of 'The Force Unleashed' could be taken in any direction. We could potentially do a Force Unleashed game set in a different Star Wars time period with a new storyline. We were definitely cognizant to leave some doors open at the end."
Lucas will premiere the new computer-animated film Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which takes place between Star Wars: Episode II — Attack of the Clones and Episode III, on Aug. 10. The film will be pegged to a new weekly animated TV series as well as new Clone Wars video games for both the Nintendo DS and the Wii.

Every time I heard about Force Unleashed, I get sad that its not coming out for PC. Come on LUCAS! We PC nerds are the original Star Wars fans! Star Wars came out when the only consol game is pong!

Someone wrote,"Ramana was an ordinary human being. Why not take him at his word? He was a mountain of common sense in a sea of superstition...."
I answered: To call him equal is a judgement also. How do we know? Better than all conclusions is to look at facts. An ordinary human being is usually unable to radiate such a power of peace that was felt by animals and human beings alike so that they forgot their former state of mind and felt at home.
Monkeys came and were tame, asking him to arbitrate their conflicts. Human beings came and some received enlightenment, also a spark that average, ordinary beings don't radiate. So we must be careful not to put our conclusions and make him according to our likings.
Any image of God or guru is self-fabricated. Some belittle the great ones to express their desire to be equal to them. Others put them on an imagined high pedestal to feel great with the idea to have a great guru. Best is to follow Bhagavan's teachings to go to the root of mind and realize TRUTH. That was the only thing he asked us to do. The Old Testament says, 'Don't create an image of God'. That is advaitic teaching. All images, big or small are only ego images. That is why Africans venerate black gods.
On the other hand: images have their place. The can be a door to the formless. Who are we to judge others?
A devotee named Amritanatha Yati wrote on a paper a Malayalam verse imploring Bhagavan to say whether he was Hari (Vishnu) or Sivaguru (Subrahmanya) or Yativara (Siva) or Vararuchi. Bhagavan wrote his reply in the same Malayalam metre on the same paper. A translation of it is given below.
In the recesses of the lotus-shaped Hearts of all, beginning with Vishnu, there shines as pure intellect (Absolute Consciousness) the Paramatman, who is the same as Arunachala Ramana. When the mind melts with love of Him, and reaches the inmost recess of the Heart wherein He dwells as the beloved, the subtle eye of pure intellect opens and He reveals Himself as Pure Consciousness.

I have discovered a new favorite gym activity! The rock climbing wall! How have I never used this before?? It's like a treadmill rock wall.

In Nevada, recreational marijuana proved to be a bit hit as product flew off the dispensary shelves the first weekend in operation. More than 40,000 recreational transactions took place on the fourth of July weekend which left the new-to-rec-use state with a temporary shortage of cannabis.
Those involved in the marijuana program which officially opened July 1 say its a distribution problem that wasn't remedied before recreational sales began.
You could blame alcohol distribution companies for the shortage. The new cannabis laws in the Silver State gave exclusive distribution rights to wholesale alcohol distributors for 18 months, but none of them had met the requirements for a license by opening day!
The state of Nevada estimates the revenue from their new green market could get them an extra $100 million to add their bottom lines over the next two years. Many say it's the reason that the state foolishly rushed in to get the goods on sale.
The executive director of the Department of Taxation, Deonne Contine, said she's determined not to let the money well dry up. As she said last week, "Dispensaries will run out of product — they're already running out of some products — and there will be a budget shortfall if that happens. Because if these businesses can't sell products, then we can't collect tax." It moved the state to declare the marijuana shortage a state of emergency and proposed and approved legislation that opened up the distribution process beyond alcohol distributors.
The hold up isn't just a problem for the state. Many cannabis dispensaries are worried about the lack of revenue and are worried they can't afford to keep their employees on payroll.
The executive director of the Nevada Dispensary Association painted a grim picture to the judge at the hearing. "There aren't enough alcohol distributors serving that market," said Riana Durrett. "Without a resolution to this, sales can't go forward and establishments will have to let employees go." Currently non-alcohol distribution companies are preparing applications for transportation licenses.
Nevada's Republican Governor, Brian Sandoval set the marijuana taxes at 15 percent on wholesalers and a 10 percent retail sales tax on recreational sales. About $70 million of the $100 million projected to come into the state is earmarked for balancing the $40 million deficit in Nevada's K-12 education budget.

An investigation by the Office of the State Auditor (OSA) has found public officials were not filing required financial disclosures or recusing themselves from official business when personal interests were involved in the City of Hobbs, the OSA released this afternoon.
"This was a failure of multiple elected officials to follow their own ethics ordinance," stated State Auditor Tim Keller. "These rules help ensure decisions are being made in the best interests of the public, not to advance personal interests. The City of Hobbs should take prompt action to restore taxpayers' confidence."
The investigation found the following:
• Hobbs mayor Sam Cobb had a financial interest in the form of a $60,000 home loan to city manager JJ Murphy, which raises a potential conflict of interest with respect to employment decisions. The mayor participated in employment matters involving the city manager, including his compensation, without disclosing the business interest.
• City officials, including the mayor and city commissioners, are required to file annual financial disclosures that include a listing of business interests. The city has no records of any such disclosures for the last several years.
• The city violated its procurement code by purchasing more than $40,000 of goods and services from vendors owned by two city commissioners.
The city's Code of Ethics requires city officials to disclose any private interest in a matter before the governmental body. A direct financial interest disqualifies the official from participating in the matter. The Code of Ethics requires city officials, including the mayor and commissioners, to file annual financial disclosures. The city's Procurement Code and the Governmental Conduct Act prohibit elected officials from providing goods and services to the city.
In a letter sent to the City of Hobbs by the OSA, the OSA states it received information indicating Murphy had entered into the home loan agreement with the mayor's father, S.G. Cobb, doing business as the Cobb Family LP.
"According to the New Mexico Secretary of State, until recently, the mayor was the registered agent and vice president of the business and served as a member of its board of directors," the OSA's letter reads. "With the passing of S.G. Cobb on Nov. 28, 2016, it is our understanding that the mayor became the sole owner and board member of the business."
The OSA instructed Hobbs to take "immediate steps" to ensure adherence to its Code of Ethics, including compliance with annual disclosure requirements and appropriate training with respect to procurement practices.
"Furthermore, any outstanding undisclosed conflicts of interest should be discussed in open meeting and voted on in accordance with the City Code of Ethics," the letter states. "Since it appears that the city officials may not have complied with disclosure requirements in the past, and the commission may not have acted with respect to recusals or disqualifications that may have been appropriate under the circumstances, there may be other areas of noncompliance.
"The commission should review its past disclosure practices and determine whether additional remedial actions are necessary."

A father from Michigan built his two young daughters a dream playhouse that'll make you jealous and almost have you wishing your real house was just as nice!
Their father, Boyd, happens to be the president of a remodeling company in Highland, in Michigan, ATB Building Inc.
The father of two claims to be "blown away" by how much attention and love the house received after photos were shared on his company's Facebook page!
Talking to People Magazine, Boyd said;
Boyd told People Magazine, "I wanted to do something special, something they would be proud of and one day tell their friends that their dad built this for them. I got to a point where I just asked myself, 'Why stop now?'"
The father claims the most rewarding part of creating the glorious buid was spending time with his daughter. His eldest daughter, Avery, was 5 and helped him along the way which 'she loved'.

"Bullying and intimidation are not acceptable ways to conduct foreign policy in the 21st century," President Bush said yesterday. "Only Russia can decide whether it will now put itself back on the path of responsible nations or continue to pursue a policy that promises only confrontation and isolation. To begin repairing relations with the United States, Europe and other nations and to begin restoring its place in the world, Russia must respect the freedom of its neighbors."
At roughly the same time, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was saying, "The world needs to help Georgia maintain its sovereignty, its territorial integrity and its independence."
Oh yes, and the day before Black Friday, John McCain was saying, in a NYT op-ed piece, "For anyone who thought that stark international aggression was a thing of the past, the last week must have come as a startling wake-up call." The day before that, in a press conference, he had said, "In the 21st century, nations don't invade other nations."
Admittedly, all this was only slightly less believable than Russian President Medvedev telling French President Nicolas Sarkozy by telephone Friday night "that he was also going to sign the accord and that Russia would scrupulously respect its commitments on this agreement, notably confirming the withdrawal of Russian forces."
And all of this goes in the non-fiction section at Border's?

As International Women's Day fast approaches (8 March), we've started to think about the women who inspire us and the impact that empowered women in history have had on our everyday lives.
Hazel Reeves is the sculptor behind the recently unveiled Emmeline Pankhurst statue in St Peter's Square, Manchester. Working from her studio in the West Sussex countryside, she does a lot of work to promote women's rights internationally. As well as creating the bronze of Emmeline for Manchester, she's made other artworks celebrating women, including one of women biscuit factory workers, the Cracker Packers, for Carlisle. In this first blog, she talks about what Emmeline – both statue and figure – means to her.
What made you enter the competition for the Emmeline Pankhurst commission?
I saw the call for artists and immediately knew I had to apply. I'm never happier than when I'm combining my passion for portraiture with telling stories of struggles for social justice and redressing the lack of representation of women in public art. Emmeline is a hero of mine, of Manchester's, and of women's rights advocates across the world. Easy.
What does Emmeline's legacy mean to you?
I admire her courage and tenacity in the face of sometimes violent resistance and her ability to inspire women of all classes to rise up and demand the vote. She brought about new forms of activism and pioneered concerns that became central to feminism later in the century.
Gaining the vote and enabling women to stand for public office weren't just end goals but a route towards women shaping the decisions that affect their lives, challenging and changing discriminatory legislation and carving out space for women to be whatever they want to be. My choices and achievements in life have been hugely advanced by the sacrifices of the suffragettes and suffragists.
It's befitting that the statue of Emmeline Pankhurst – affectionately known as 'Our Emmeline' – was unveiled on 14 December 2018, the centenary of when the first women voted in a general election in 1918. Despite this, both my grandmothers had to wait until 1928 before they were able to vote.
What impact do you want the statue to have and how did you include that in your design?
I wanted the statue to highlight Emmeline Pankhurst's extraordinary contribution to progressing women's rights, and remind us of Manchester's radical legacy as the birthplace of Emmeline and the suffragette movement. But I also wanted her back on Manchester's streets, to be a catalyst, to move people to action. We need her as much as ever to inspire us all – women and men – to rise up and demand gender equality and demand the end to violence against women. I dedicated the statue to our modern-day Emmelines, who are tirelessly working for women's rights, and to the future generations of Emmelines.
For the design of the statue I wanted to show Emmeline as the courageous, determined, dignified and elegant activist she was. The scene is one Emmeline would be very familiar with – the suffragettes are ringing bells, summoning people from their homes and workplaces, to listen to Emmeline. Someone grabs a kitchen chair as a makeshift rostrum and the 5ft Emmeline climbs atop and addresses the noisy crowds, urging women to rise up and demand the vote. This design nods to the work she has done but also to the work that is left to be done.

Businessman Mike Braun, a former state representative, has won the Indiana Senate Republican primary, according to the Associated Press, marking an end to one of the nastiest primary races in the country.
BREAKING: Mike Braun wins Republican primary in race for Indiana US Senate. @AP race call at 8:47 p.m. EDT. #Election2018 #APracecall pic.twitter.com/geZ7XFhMhB
— AP Politics (@AP_Politics) May 9, 2018
Braun beat two other major candidates, Reps. Todd Rokita (R-IN) and Luke Messer (R-IN), who spent most of the last year making vicious personal attacks on one another. For a full year, the two congressmen have been at each others' throats.
Last spring, before either candidate even officially declared, Rokita attacked Messer's wife for the thousands of dollars she'd been paid as a government contractor, which prompted Messer to say that Rokita was "lying about [his] family." Rokita hit back, calling Messer "unhinged," and then, not long after, someone leaked Politico an eight-page memo on the agonizing task of chauffeuring Rokita around his district.
More recently, Messer's two decades-old drunk driving convictions have come to the forefront of the race, convictions he didn't disclose when he replaced a state representative who was killed by a drunk driver.
Braun, however, has been self-funding his campaign and has made inroads as an outsider. In one ad, he carried around cutouts of Rokita and Messer and asked people on the street if they could tell them apart.
In another, he hit the two as the "swamp brothers," labeling his rivals as "Todd the fraud" and "Luke the liberal."
Some questioned whether Braun's history voting for Democrats would come back to haunt him. While Braun has said he is a "lifelong conservative," he has voted in Democratic primaries and CNN reported that Braun was listed in RNC voter data as a "hard Democrat" until at least 2012.
"Mike Braun raises taxes like a Democrat so it's not a surprise he votes for Democrats, too," a Rokita spokesperson said of the report.
As far as policy goes, however, the three candidates were nearly indistinguishable. All promised to support wholeheartedly President Trump should they be elected. Braun has pointed to his shared background with the president as proof he's the best choice of the three.
Braun will now go on to face Sen. Joe Donnelly (D-IN) in November's general election. Donnelly is considered one of the most vulnerable incumbent Democrats, and he's looking to hold his seat in a state Trump won in 2016 by 19 points.

PISTON-RING SCUFFING as a Criterion of OIL PERFORMANCE
Technical Paper
ISSN: 0148-7191, e-ISSN: 2688-3627
Published January 01, 1943 by SAE International in United States
Annotation ability available
Language: English
CONDITION of engine parts after testing under standardized procedure is the only satisfactory evidence for comparing the lubrication qualities of different oils, Mr. Keller concludes, showing the detailed set-up for such engine testing.
Of seven pertinent operating variables, all except cooling conditions and oil supply were held constant. The five were power, speed, fuel mixture strength, detonation, and cylinder, piston, and ring design.
Because experience has shown that detonation can destroy satisfactory cylinder lubrication and lead to excessive wear and ultimate failure, fuel having an octane rating of iso-octane + 0.8 cc tel (Aviation Test Method) was used for most of the test work reported. A Waukesha Cooperative Universal Engine fitted with a Wright Cyclone C9GC production cylinder and piston assembly, 6⅛ x 6⅞ or 202½ cu in., was used.
Prior to the test the cylinder barrel was lapped with Minnesota 3M compound No. 500-2-A, with an old piston and old rings as the lapping surface. This was to eliminate any surface deposits from the previous test. The oil system and interior of the engine were flushed with solvent naphtha and then with the oil to be tested. A fresh charge of oil was used for the run-in and for the test itself.
Combined researches of metallurgists, petroleum chemists, and engine designers during the past 10 years, the author says, has resulted in an engine with a 100% increase in power output, a 50% reduction in specific weight, and a 20% reduction in specific fuel consumption.

Isaiah 64
" Blue Print For A Blessing"
This is a prayer that Isaiah started in chapter 63: 15.
And this prayer Isaiah pleads for God visitation. Isaiah The Whistleblower, Desire was to witness a visible and dramatic manifestation of God's power and presence. Isaiah The Whistleblower was tired of the mess that God's people were in, he was tired of the business as usual, going through the motions, four people in Sunday School 10 people in Bible study dead preaching, for at choir rehearsal, half the family at home while you are at church, Isaiah The Whistleblower was tired of seeing his people in their condition, he said if you want go to the King, I will ask the King to come to us. Isaiah was asking the king please do it again God. God whatever you are doing in this season don't do it without me. Isaiah was looking bike on the good old days those were the days that when God said you are my people I am your God. You remember when God called the highway in the middle of the Red Sea. When he told Pharaoh let my people go. Yes this were the good old days but like most of us we soon forget where we came from we soon forget that God is the one that brought us out we soon to forget that God is our refuge we soon to forget the all gifts and perfect gifts come from above we soon to forget but if the door open God is the one that open the door.
Because God is a jealous God God got angry with the children of Israel for their disobedience for the life of acknowledging him, so he predicted a time of absence from the nation, no God did not get a divorce but he certainly separated from his people, today God has not divorced his people but it certainly feels like we are separated from his presence. Therefore we must do as Isaiah did, The Whistleblower had to go to his prayer closet. He said Lord oh Lord I know we have done wrong in your eyesight I know that we have been playing Church I know that we have been worse for you with our lips and I will hearts are far from you we know Lord that we have been disobedient to your word Lord now I'm coming to seek your face, Isaiah say God we are sorry Isaiah reminds God that you are the same God yesterday today and forever God can we come by home. Lord I need thee I need thee every hour. Lord you said but if my people that are called by my name show humble themselves and pray and seek my face intern from there Wicked Ways Lord you said you will hear from heaven and will forgive us for doing wrong and Lord you said that you would heal the land. That's it the blueprint for success what does god require of me very simple repent turn from our Wicked Ways, yes God has taken care of the same problem by sending his only begotten son to die on Calvary. But we still have a wicked problem that we must let the Holy Spirit guide our souls guide hour mind guide Behavior
Let us end the separation because God never left us but we left him. Go to the throne of grace and mercy. Do it now.

Hedge fund titans once ran their firms like elite private clubs, picking who made it past the velvet rope and how much they would pay for access to supercharged performance.
Years of poor performance have now led a number of funds to consider something more like general admission.
Some big-name investors — MetLife, American International Group and the New York City pension plan, among them — have recently begun to withdraw their money from hedge funds in larger numbers. And the investors who stay are getting a chance to sit at the negotiating table and dictate lower fees and better terms for sharing in the returns that managers make.
It's an unusual position for many hedge fund managers, who as a group are not known for sharing well with others.
For decades, hedge funds operated on a "2 and 20" model: Investors paid fees of 2 percent of assets under management and 20 percent of any gain in any year. When performance was good, the founders of the biggest firms were catapulted to the top of global wealth rankings.
Now, in a bid to persuade investors to stay, some managers are sweetening the deal by lowering fees in return for locking up investor money for a longer period of time and setting certain performance targets that if exceeded, investors would pay a fee. For newcomers, managers are even offering the favorable terms once exclusively offered to longtime loyal clients.
"Managers are having to negotiate, and investors are demanding much more than they used to in the absence of value," said Adam I. Taback, head of global alternative investments at Wells Fargo Investment Institute. "High fees are like an expensive car," he said. "It is fine as long as you're getting performance out of it."
In recent years, investor criticism of hedge fund underperformance against a roaring stock market was met with frustration by managers who complained that investors couldn't have their cake and eat it, too. A hedge fund manager's job was to protect in down years but not outperform in good years, the industry argued. But when markets began to fall last summer, so did hedge fund returns, rendering the point moot for many investors.
Over the last 18 months some of the best-known managers — including William A. Ackman of Pershing Square Capital Management and Larry Robbins of Glenview Capital Management — have consistently lost money. Others that made bets on macroeconomic trends were caught off guard by wrong-footed bets and had to shutter their firms.
And many hedge fund managers found themselves crowded in the same stock. That meant big returns as everyone piled in but even bigger declines when everyone sold out.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, for example, was one of the most popular stocks held by hedge funds in 2015, and its stock price soared to more than $260 a share at one point. But when news of a government investigation came to light and issues with the company's pricing strategy became apparent, the stock came crashing down. On Friday, Valeant's share closed at a low of $24.
Mr. Ackman, who has been Valeant's biggest cheerleader, has lost billions of dollars so far on his bet on the company. His Pershing Square Holdings is down 17.5 percent so far this year through June 7, in large part because of the Valeant position.
Other hedge fund titans including Paulson & Company and Viking Global Investors have collectively lost billions of dollars on the Valeant trade.
"I see the herd mentality among hedge funds every day," Roslyn Zhang, a managing director at China Investment Corporation, China's sovereign wealth fund, said at the SkyBridge Alternatives, or SALT, hedge fund conference in Las Vegas last month. Describing how some funds spend "two seconds" on one theme before deciding to put investor money behind the idea, she added: "We pay 2 and 20 for treatment like this. I am reflecting that maybe we are not making the right decision."
All of this has prompted some self-reflection within the industry.
"We are in the first innings of a washout in hedge funds," Daniel S. Loeb, the founder of the hedge fund Third Point, wrote to investors in a recent letter, describing a "catastrophic period" for the industry.
But for some investors, acknowledgment of poor performance is not enough. In September 2014, the nation's biggest pension fund, the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or Calpers, announced plans to liquidate its $4 billion hedge fund holdings on concerns that the investments were too expensive and too complicated. In April this year, the pension fund for New York City civil employees voted to exit its portfolio of $1.5 billion in hedge fund investments.
Some insurance companies have shown their displeasure, too.
"We had a very negative experience in hedge funds," Peter D. Hancock, the chief executive of A.I.G., told investors earlier this year. The insurance group plans to pull about half of its $11 billion in hedge fund holdings.
MetLife, another insurance giant that has roughly $1.8 billion invested in hedge funds, has been sending out redemption requests to those managers. Steven Goulart, its chief investment officer, recently told shareholders that the exit was prompted by inconsistent performance. The market environment will "continue to be challenging for hedge funds," he added.
Investors pulled $15.1 billion from the industry in the first quarter of the year. But these exits are a drop in the ocean compared with the $2.9 trillion the industry manages. Other institutional investors, meanwhile, continue to pump money in.
Still, the pressure is mounting.
"Now the fact that people are willing to cut, you're going to see pressure on managers who are not at the top of the pyramid are going to have to cut," said Mark W. Yusko, the chief investment officer of Morgan Creek Capital.
In a move that is largely unheard-of in the industry, Mr. Robbins recently apologized to investors in an attempt to stem the outflow of investor money from his firm. He pledged to "right the ship as quickly as possible" and even offered investors the opportunity to put more money into a new fund that would waive fees.
Mr. Robbins has continued to lose money this year. Investors in his flagship fund have lost 6.5 percent as of the end of May. So Mr. Robbins is now offering more favorable redemption terms, allowing existing investors that add more money into the fund to step into the shoes of investors that have left, according to three people briefed on the firm's plans who were not authorized to speak publicly about them.
As long as performance continues to lag, hedge funds will be scrutinized and hedge fund giants will be at a disadvantage.
David Rubenstein the billionaire co-founder of the private equity firm Carlyle Group, perhaps summed up the sentiment best when he told an audience of money managers at the SALT conference in May, "Please don't be embarrassed about the industry."
In case there was any hesitation, Mr. Rubenstein added: "We shouldn't be upset about what we do. We should be proud."

"Innovation" is difficult, yet the word itself is so overly used that the meaning of it has become hollow. Some people consider being "innovative" as being "lucky." Yet for Clay Christensen, a business professor at Harvard, innovation is about finding the "jobs that need to be done" in our lives. In this interview with CKGSB Knowledge, he argues that companies should not take the task as akin to gambling. Instead, companies should adopt a more focused, process-oriented approach of finding the "jobs" that customers need to do in their lives, and then create products that make those jobs easier.
Innovation the Smart Way, an Interview with Georg Tacke
In our increasingly fast-paced world, there is no room for companies to be complacent. To survive in the competitive marketplace long term, constant product innovation is a basic necessity. However, nearly three-quarters of new products either fall far short of their targets, or fail entirely. Not only that, businesses have become tolerant of this high failure rate to the point where it is treated as a given risk. But Georg Tacke, CEO of the global management and consulting firm Simon-Kucher & Partners, disagrees with this assumption and thinks the failing might be the result of a homegrown issue—from the initial design to end marketing.
Talent Management, an Interview with Edward E. Lawler III
Business has changed, specifically the relationship between management and employees. Once upon a time, companies offered careers—long-term, stable employment wherein the employee filled a narrowly-defined role. In past generations, it was common to spend an entire working lifetime at a single company, but now most millennials are 'less loyal' to employers, they go where their talents are valued. Edward E. Lawler III, Distinguished Professor of Business at the University of Southern California, expounds on the new model, which he terms "talent management", a new paradigm focuses on the critical needs of a business, and finding the right people that can fulfill them.
Up Close and at a Distance: An Interview with Bill Bishop
Bill Bishop, co-founder of the stock market news website MarketWatch and author of Sinocism, talks about how China's relationship with the world has changed. In this interview, he shares insights on China's ascendance to second-largest economy in the world, as well as some of the serious economic challenges it faces today, such as an aging society and rising debt, and the current backlash against globalization. But along with that, he also discusses the many bright spots–the emerging internet economy, for example–and the hazards of getting caught up in what can be a biased and negative news cycle mentality.
Airlander Attempts to Rise Above Headwinds Once More
The Airlander 10, part plane and part airship, is the world's longest aircraft in operation today. Roughly the size of a football field, it has a shape different from any airship of decades past. Developed by British manufacturer Hybrid Air Vehicles, the Airlander 10 can ascend from anywhere with no need for an airport or runway and maintain a capacity of transporting a large amount of goods. According to Stephen McGlennan, CEO of HAV, over 100 million pounds has been invested in the project and it is preparing another test flight in the coming Spring, after it failed in a August test flight this year.
TripAdvisor's Approach in China: Travel Fills a Spiritual Void
Over 120 million Chinese went abroad and spent over $104.5 billion in 2015 and more are projected for 2016. But for young Chinese people, their spending isn't all about shopping in tax-free shops. As Leo Lin Song, chief of staff of TripAdvisor says, Chinese travelers are becoming more sophisticated: they're reaching to further places and want to have more distinct cultural experience and not afraid to explore the unknown. Yet compared to western travelers, Chinese tourists are still special. They like to read pictures and need clear guidance—and that's where TripAdvisor chips in.
Arthur Kroeber: Making Sense of China's Economy
China has achieved almost miraculous advancement in a mere 30 years, but at the same time is beset with a host of structural problems and contradictions that it must grapple with, especially as economic growth begins to slow. In this interview, Kroeber, the author of China's Economy: What Everyone Needs to Know, a comprehensive introduction to China's rise from an economic backwater in the early 1980s to the world's second-largest economy, offers his analysis to CKGSB Knowledge on how China got here, where it might be headed, and how to understand the changes and implications.
Coffee in China: A New Beverage for a New Age
In the past two decades, coffee has been making significant in-roads in China. Although it might not be a staple for workday breakfast yet, for young people in urban areas, it has become a status symbol and something that says about their style and taste. Coffee, says Esteban Liang, Managing Director of Costa, Asia, is an "affordable luxury." In the interview with Liang, he discusses how coffee became so popular and what Costa Coffee has experienced in the Middle Kingdom so far. Attempting to ride the middle-class wave, Costa aims at becoming a "strong number two" in China with better environment, product and service.
Big data's pursuit of the perfectly tailored ad: An Interview with Anindya Ghose
Imagine when you walk in a shopping mall, a mobile advertisement pops up on your phone, giving you a coupon on exactly what you planned to buy. Or speaking to your friend about an interesting ad you saw on Facebook then discovering, to your surprise, that your friend is also interested in buying that exact product—that's the beauty of well-designed marketing, thanks to big data. Professor Ghose at Stern Business School analyzes what consumers do with their smartphones and how businesses can tailor effective offers that occur at the optimal time, while also ensuring that information exchange is a healthy two-way street.
Mohamed El-Erian on Central Bank Effectiveness and China
Central banking is not enough. While monetary policy did much to recover from the global financial crisis, its instruments have been largely exhausted and rendered ineffective. Low interest rates and quantitative easing may have kept the engine spinning, but are not pillars of sustainable economic policy. In China, there might still be scope for more monetary easing, but Mohamed El-Erian, chief economic advisor at financial services group Allianz and formerly at the helm of investment firm PIMCO, warns that, ''China needs to avoid the trap that the advanced countries have fallen into, namely that of excessive prolonged reliance on central banks.''

There are several methods and equipment for the measurement and characterizaton of the chemical and mineralogical composition, nano-, micro- and macro-structures, as well as physical, optical, magnetic, electrical, chemical, thermal, mechanical usually interdependent properties of materials. Moreover, each sample has particular structures and characteristics. Hence, different uncertainty budgets have to be considered in the measurements of properties of mostly unknown samples. Each experimental approach and instrumental set-up is possibly subjected to more or less serious problems that can bias the measurement results and thus their accurate interpretation. A better awareness of possible uncertainty components associated with the methodology and equipment used would improve the quality of studies.
The session provides a platform and is of interest not only for scientists, researchers, PhD students and engineers in the field of material testing, characterization and measurement in a wide range of academic disciplines (physics, chemistry, mathe-matics and engineering) but also for equipment users and developers.

Session Topics
This session is focused but not limited on the following topics:
Material testing methods and their applications
Relationship between measurement methods and properties of the tested materials
Measurement methods and environmental dependence, short- vs. long-term behavior
Optical and related techniques for non-destructive evaluation of material properties
X-ray diffraction and related techniques for evaluation of material compositions
Mechanical and related techniques for destructive evaluation of material properties
Relationship between measurement methods and associated uncertainty budgets
Equipment based on different measurement methods: reliability, precision, accuracy
Evaluation of uncertainty components in measurements of material properties
Mathematical methods, computer-based simulation and data processing

Health sciences group PreveCeutical Medical Inc (CSE:PREV) (OTCMKTS:PRVCF) said it had completed a study of peptides to develop as non-addictive painkillers, with promising results.
The firm is developing therapies using organic and nature identical products.
READ: PreveCeutical Medical reports converting acid phytocannabinoids to neutral form
One of its programs is for non-addictive analgesic peptides as a replacement to the highly addictive analgesics such as morphine, fentanyl and oxycodone.
Preveceutical said that via a meticulous process it had now identified five novel peptide constructs, which preferentially target the receptor subtype which is of interest to the company and is purported to avoid addictive and tolerance-inducing side effects.
This subset of peptides has demonstrated potency, in a well-accepted functional dose response assay, that is on par with clinically available agents, such as morphine, the company added.
Chief research officer Dr Harendra Parekh told investors: "We are very pleased with this promising development, as a result of numerous iterations between our peptide design and cell-based screening efforts, we have now yielded a number of constructs which discriminate between the key pain receptors in the body, and importantly, avoid activation of those purported to lead to dependence."
Preveceutical shares in Toronto were unchanged at $0.06 each.

Welcome to
Shetland Stud
North Farm,
East Yorkshire,
The Birchmoor Stud originally started in 1964 as a pony stud and not until the early part of the 1970's did Shetlands make an appearance. The herd now stands around 50 head, height 36" to 42" inches. A large selective stud of quality standard section "A" ponies bred with the emphasis on good bone, correct conformation, movement and true breed characteristics. Founded from top bloodlines and are regular winners at major shows.We have many breeding lines in the stud, the major influence has been our Eastland's Ponies, they have height, bone, masses of hair and big flowing action, but most of all superb temperaments. The dark bay stallion Eastlands Midnight Again, arrived in spring 1987 to replace our Harviestoun bred stallion Solomon of Battenburg (grand sire of Birchmoor Amadeus) whom we had lost in the previous winter, we have carried on line breeding these.
We specialise Black and Red Bay mostly, but breed some other colours also.

It's dark and you need to be able to see. It's fine-whip out your trusty Android phone and put the camera into a flashlight. Here's how to do it.
Honestly, this could not be simpler, it's just a toggle away on Android phones. First, pull down the notification shade. Then find the flashlight icon and tap it.
Left: Off; Right: On
Really, that's it! If you can not find the flashlight icon, you may click here to see the entire Quick Settings menu. At that point, you should see the flashlight.
Now that you've found the flashlight, however, let's go ahead and eliminate that second tap by moving the flashlight icon to the top of the Quick Settings panel.
On Samsung Galaxy phones, click the three dots in the upper right corner, then choose "Button Order." [19659002]
From there, drag and drop any icons into your preferred spot, making sure to move the flashlight icon closer to the front of the list. From that point forward, it'll be little more than a swipe-and-tap away.

RAVENSWOOD — Koval Distillery has joined the relief effort to aid Puerto Rico in the wake of devastating destruction caused by Hurricane Maria.
Koval will donate all ticket sales from the week's distillery tours to employee Katie Adams' GoFundMe, which she and her fiance Sebastian Gonzalez set up to help family and friends on the island.
"Our relatives have dwindling supplies and damaged homes, yet can't pay for necessities or repairs because they can't work without repaired workspaces and electricity," Adams posted to GoFundMe.
The couple, who got engaged in January, already donated their wedding fund to purchase supplies and have raised an additional $6,600 toward their $10,000 goal.
They're buying batteries, flashlights, diapers, mosquito repellent, canned goods and other essentials, and are working with logistics experts to ship the items directly to individuals.
"Word on the island regarding our efforts has gotten out, and even more requests are flooding in," Adams posted in an update.
Tours of the distillery, at 5121 N. Ravenswood Ave., cost $10, with a capacity of 25 attendees. Koval will donate all ticket sales for tours scheduled for Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday — nine tours total. Adams, the distillery's outreach coordinator, will lead some of the tours on Saturday and all of Sunday's.

If you've been secretly searching for a show to appease your dark and unremorseful side, then look no further than It's the End of the F***ing World. Trust me, your sadistic nature will thank me.
It's the End of the F***ing World is a pitch black comedy featuring the characters of James (Alex Lawther) and Alyssa (Jessica Barden) who form an unlikely partnership as they run away from their awkward home lives towards the unknown. James is a self-diagnosed psychopath that has mastered the art of killing small animals and is looking for an opportunity to graduate to a bigger prey; human. Enter Alyssa. She is an off-putting 17-year old that is hellbent on ticking off every person she comes into contact with but there's something oddly comforting about James that makes her gravitate towards him.
James entertains Alyssa's whimsical adventure in the hopes that she will present the perfect opportunity for him to commit murder while Alyssa is looking for validation from a male figure and sets out on a journey to find her father with James in tow. What results is a winding and often surprising storyline that manages to find itself in a very unpredictable place than that of where it began that keeps the viewer engaged up to the very last scene.
While the characters are interesting, they were not the initial draw to the show. It's the End of the F***ing World is only 8 episodes and none of them go over the 22 minute mark which gives the ability for the entire narrative to be seen in a couple of hours. This was excellent for several reasons. First, shows that take advantage of a smaller episode count to be written in a more focused and succinct manner helps make use of every single scene as well as line of dialogue in order to tell the most complete story possible. There is the appearance that no moment is wasted.
Each decision or statement from a character will holds a heavier weight that seems to be addressed more rapidly due to the lesser episode count. With this in mind, the viewer is able to recognize more quickly if a show is actually good or not. It's the End of the F***ing World handles this approach with perfection using fast-paced storytelling from various perspectives, beautiful cinematography that grabs the eye and a pulsating soundtrack that helps form the ambiance of teen angst as the two anti-heroes march ever closer to their intended goal.
One would be hard-pressed to find any negatives towards this show, but the main point of contention was its ending. It has yet to be determined whether Netflix will commit to a second season so, with that in mind, the viewer is left hanging on a huge what-if scenario in the last frame as we find James literally running for his life from the police who have mislabeled him as a murderer (even though he did murder the serial killer).
Being a creature of closure and to not have James and Alyssa's story resolve and instead be left in that manner was absolutely brutal to behold. Both James and Alyssa were semi-likeable but mostly annoying for some of the choices they made throughout the show. However by the end, it was easy to become emotionally invested in the story and wanting to see some sort of resemblance of an ending. Instead, we were treated to that last scene that left many more questions than answers.
In the end, It's the End of the F***ing World was a solid Netflix watch that can easily be finished in an afternoon. Its story, sharp wit, and dark humor should keep most guiltily laughing and engaged throughout its 8 episodes and while it managed to answer some questions posed by the two main characters it also managed to leave the future of James and Alyssa wide open for interpretation which was both exciting and infuriating all at the same time. This show plays like a well-written perfectly paced movie that will leave viewers wanting more as the closing credits roll.
Score: 9/10

Thu. May 21 - 4:46 AM
Three underwater test turbines proposed for the Bay of Fundy may be eligible for $350 million in federal funds, the Ocean Renewable Energy Group said Wednesday.
"We have three of the world-leading tidal technologies being tested to a Fundy standard in a partnership involving leading local industry and Nova Scotia Power. We would like to partner with Natural Resources Canada to make sure that this project is the critical step to making renewable tidal energy a success for Atlantic Canada," said tidal energy consultant Doug Keefe in a news release.
Nova Scotia Power and OpenHydro of Ireland are one of three groups of companies involved in a pilot project announced by the provincial government in 2007 to test tidal power technology in the bay. Each turbine is expected to cost $10 million to $15 million.
The NSP-OpenHydro unit is scheduled for deployment this fall.
The other successful bidders were Clean Current of British Columbia and Minas Basin Pulp and Power Co. of Hantsport. Pending environmental approvals, the other two projects are scheduled to launch their turbines in 2010.
The proposed site for all three turbines is in the Minas Passage area of the Bay of Fundy, about 10 kilometres west of Parrsboro. Minas Basin also won the contract to build a tidal energy test facility worth $12 million to $14 million. Federal Natural Resources Minister Lisa Raitt announced Tuesday that $350 million will be available for research and development and demonstrations for marine energy technologies under the Clean Energy Fund.

It is no secret that blogging is the key to a successful online marketing. Your SEO won't work without it and you won't have any magic in social media. Generally speaking, blogs are your ticket to making it big in the online world.
Writing, however, is no easy feat. A few sentences here and there won't simply make the cut. You can't just throw words everywhere and hope you'll end up with a piece worth publishing. So yeah, blogging is serious business.
Now, how will you start your first article? Read this guide for you!
- Find your focus
What is your niche? What is the focus of your website? One thing I learned about the internet is that websites should have an objective and specific topic. You can't play it wide and broad. You need to figure out your niche category and be an expert on it.
- Understand your audience
This is where most beginners in blogging fail — understanding their audience. Remember, you are writing for your target market. You need to have a clear understanding of what they want to hear and read from you. They use the internet for information and you need to give them that especially when they end up browsing your website.
- Develop a writing style
Do you know what separates professional bloggers from the rest? It is their writing style. You should develop your own, something that will give you an edge. Be personal when writing. Give your blog a voice. Your audience should feel as if they are talking to you when they are reading your articles. Build that connection and let your readers know you.
- Avoid jargons and clichés
You are not here to impress your audience with your propensity for the English language, or your spectacular vocabulary skills, or your Thesaurus-like mind. Seriously, forget about jargons and clichés. Sure you can use them in some instances, but never overuse them. They will only make your articles lofty and hard to understand. Just keep it simple and conversational. Use everyday words. Your readers will appreciate it more.
- Research is everything
One good thing about blogging is the information you need are available online. You just need to research your topic and read. On my case, I would read four to six articles that tackle on the topic I'm about to write. In that way, I get good details enough to make one blog, plus I get an idea how other bloggers work.
- Start with a working title
This is when you will start writing your blog and it has to start with a working title. Your working title will be your guide until you finish writing. It will tell you what information needs to be included in your article. However, your working title can still be changed to something more interesting. For instance, your topic is about "how to make money online" and your working title is "steps to make money online," when you're done writing, you can change your working title into a final title like "5 Easy Steps to Legitimately Make Money Online."
- Write an introduction
It is true when people say that your introduction can make or break your article. The first few sentences of your blog should do wonders on your audience. It should be good enough to catch and keep their interest. You can start with a simple fact or statistic, a quote from someone popular (but it should be relevant to your topic), an emphatic statement, or a thought-provoking question. No matter how you start it, think about it first. Don't rush it.
- Organize the body of your content
Don't give your readers so much information just because you have researched a lot. Only write those that are important. You can organize the body of your content by using bullets or numbers. For instance, if you will be writing about "how to boost SEO rankings," the body of your article can contain "7 steps to boosting SEO ranking" with each pointer either in bullets or numbers and a well thought-out explanation for each.
- End it with emphasis
Your conclusion should wrap up everything about your topic. While it doesn't have to be long, it should satisfy your readers. It should leave an idea to your audience that they have found the answers to their queries. However, you can also encourage your readers for questions or comments on the articles to build connection and open interaction.
- Proofread
Never underestimate the power of proofreading. It helps you see your lapses and improve your articles. Keep in mind that editing your work is as important as writing the entire blog. You don't need a professional editor for this; you can always do it on your own or have a fellow writer read your work.
- Publish it
Finally, you did it! Congratulations! You can now publish your first blog on your website. But hold it up. You are not totally done yet, not without a featured image for your article. Every blog should have at least one photo for visual presentation. Choose an image that is relevant, and attention-grabbing, to your topic. It will be the one that will appear in social media every time your blog will be shared.
Wrap up
Writing your first article will be difficult, we cannot deny that. You won't only worry about the topic but also in keeping your sentences and paragraphs in flow. But take my advice on this, I wasn't good at first, and I'm still working on my craft until now by just writing a lot. It takes hard work and practice to be good in this field. However, it takes more passion to keep it all going. You need to find that reason why you should be blogging. It's not only for the money or your business. Writing is way more than that and you'll eventually know why. Welcome to bloggersphere everyone!

Gulf subsea development looks to cut oil production costs in half
Shell Offshore, Inc. has announced early production at a deepwater oil development in the Gulf.
And, a new extraction method being used at the Kaikias site could be a game changer for the Gulf oil industry.
The project looks to bring in oil from the Gulf at a break-even price of less than $30 per barrel.
They do it by using hundreds of millions of dollars of pipelines already in place to send oil from new drilling sites to an existing surface platform. That can save the one to three billion dollars it costs to build a new floating platform.
"If they tried to do it the way they would traditionally do it, they'd be spending more like $60 a barrel to get everything installed. So, they've essentially cut the cost and the time in half," says Eric Smith, Interim Director of the Tulane Energy Institute.
The new method allows a single platform to serve as a hub for a kind of underwater subway system.
"It's basically the difference between building the subway and building a big subway station like Grand Central every time you go out to build a new facility," says Smith.
"And, it saves them a lot of time on all of the plumbing and all of the capital avoided by not having to build a new floating production system."
"So, rather than having to spend years designing and building a big floating production system, they are tying back the new field to an existing production platform where they have an equity interest."
According to Shell, the start-up occurred approximately one year ahead of schedule.
Located in the Mars-Ursa basin approximately 130 miles off the Louisiana coast, Kaikias will ultimately send production from four wells - in approximately 4,500 feet of water - to the Shell-operated Ursa hub. From Ursa, which is co-owned by BP, ExxonMobil and ConocoPhillips, production volumes will eventually flow into the Mars oil pipeline.
It's estimated the Kaikias project holds more than 100 million barrels of oil equivalent recoverable reserves. The first phase of the subsea oil and gas development project is designed to produce up to 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day at peak rates.
"We believe Kaikias is the most competitive subsea development in the Gulf of Mexico and a prime example of the deep-water opportunities we're able to advance with our technical expertise and capital discipline," said Andy Brown, Upstream Director, Royal Dutch Shell.

Am I Pregnant PLS HELP NEED ALL THE ADVICE I CAN GET
I dont know who has read my issue I posted before so ill briefly explain again. My period started on Thurs. but was much lighter than normal (too light to be a normal period but too heavy to call it spotting). My cramps were also much lighter than normal but were replaced by strong, one-sided pain. The bleeding and pain lasted two days off and on and then the third and fourth day I had spotting (when I say spotting I mean a couple drops here and there, very very light, pinkish in color). After that the bleeding stopped completely, but I am still experiencing some dull one sided pain. I have taken pregnancy tests, so far they have come up negative, but have been told that it might be a little too early to show. I was pregnant once before. In my last pregnancy, it also took a while for me to show positive. I also experienced the one sided pain as a symptom (it was not a tubal pregnancy), which actually was what made me go to the doctor that time (before I went to the doctor I was testing negative with home tests). It is clear that it is not cramps because it is still happening after the bleeding stopped. In addition to that I have had nausea (2-3 times since Thurs.), fatigue, headaches (started late last night), light headedness (3-4 times since Thurs.), and some very dull back pain (started yesterday). All of which I understand could be caused by something else). What mostly concerns me, or has me wondering is the one sided pain. What do you think?? I'm a little worried so any advice and opinions would be really helpful right now. Thanks.
out of curiousity, what side is this pain on? and what is the location of the pain, severity?
It is mainly on the right side...sometimes I feel it on the left but not as much. It is in the lower the ab area. It sort feels like it is coming from the ovaries...lol. It was originaly very severe on thurs. (I had to go home from work). The next day I felt it but it wasnt as severe (sort of as if I had taken medicine...but i didnt). Now its dull pain...more like irritation.
If your doc will let you...I suggest an ultrasound...that rules out (or for) pregnancy, appendix, and issues w/ ovaries...all of which can have some of the same "pain" and crampish feelings...

There is a similar sculpture on 120th and 5th Avenue at the foot of Marcus Garvey Park... it is however at the entrance of the high rise there that most Harlemites cannot afford to live in. To me, this sculpture, created by an African man from Nigeria, (his backstory is interesting in its own right) gives me the feeling of Black women nannies tired after a day of working in the high rise... not a fan of this sculpture/genre...to each his/her own ...http://www.nnamdiart.com/sculpture_monumental.html

It's the end of the year and the only things I see on my timeline are plans, workbooks, and courses to help with planning for the new year. I even have my own course that I've been sharing, as well. (shameless plug) But what I haven't seen a lot of is information on the mindset that you need to obtain in order to reach your goals.
Last week, one of my friends, Nia Jackson, recommended that I listen to a podcast about mindset. She shared that she even listened to the podcast 3+ times to ensure that she was taking in what was being shared because it was that different.
Now if you know me well, I was that kid who hated checking and verifying her answers on standardized tests. I don't reread books. I don't listen to podcasts multiple times. I could RAVE about the content – but I rarely have the attention span to make myself take in the same information multiple times. (Terrible, I know.)
Episode 114: How To Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind For Automatic And Lasting High Performance
We are constantly told that willpower, hustling, and determination are the keys to getting what we want out of life – but…maybe not. If you're looking to achieve ANY of your goals in 2018 – there may be an approach to your plan that you haven't thought of yet.
Let me know if you listen to this episode and how you'll be applying the concepts in 2018. I'd love to hear what you think.
Also, thanks again for tuning into my live training in the Office Hours Community last week! I'm working on my content calendar this week and I cannot wait for the next training in the new year. If you'd like to have access – be sure to join me over there.

Blonde jokes → Blonde & Cruise
A blonde co-ed is looking at a bulletin board and she sees a piece of paper that says, ''Ocean Cruise Only 5$.''
She pulls the piece of paper off the wall and goes to the address listed on the back of paper. She walks into the building and hands the secretary the piece of paper. The secretary nods and asks if she had the five dollars. The blonde pulls five dollars out of her pocket and hands it to the secretary. The secretary looks over to a burly guy reading a newspaper. She nods to the him. He stands up and knocks the blonde unconscious.
When the blonde wakes up she''s tied to a log and is floating down river. She starts to think that this was a bad idea. When she sees one of her freinds (who is also blonde) tied to a log floating right next to her, she says, "So do you think they''re going to serve us some food on this trip?"
The other blonde replies, '''They didn''t serve any last year."
