Garden Whimsy
Here is a card that I did to use for a sample on how to use the Garden Whimsy set another way. I will be posting more samples that I made with Garden Whimsy in the next few days.
I have decided to hold a Christmas Stamp a Stack at Immanuel Lutheran Church on September 29th. It will be open house style and you can come and go between 2 and 8 pm. I will have stations set up and you can make as many of the cards that you would like to make. There will not be a "fee" for the stamp a stack, you will pay a dollar for each card that you make. You can make 5 cards or 30 cards that is up to you. This will be a great way to get a jump start on your Christmas Cards! Call now to reserve your spot!
I didn't do any crafting today. :-( It was a cleaning, paper work, bill paying day. But it looks a lot better around here and sometimes I have to take time to do that sort of stuff whethor I want to or not! Have a great day! Boo

Coloma Coffee House
Good Evening! I thought I would catch you up a little bit on my week. Monday and Tuesday were Stamp Camp's. On Wednesday, my sister Lenore came home and we went to the doctor with my mom. She had a mole removed about a month ago and they had to go back in a second time to remove more. This appointment was to see a cancer doctor and we weren't sure what to expect. We received good news which we are very thankful for...it was pre melanoma and being that she went in right away when the mole started to change, they got it all. So we were all very happy about that. We went to lunch at Family Affair, spent the rest of the afternoon visiting, and then Lenore and I went to Practical Cents. We filled up a whole grocery bag of clothes for the kids for $6.00! I bet we had 20 items so this really was a good deal! On Wednesday evening, Carol Camp and I went to see Mama Mia. This was a wacky, crazy, movie. Very funny, and touching and I would recommend going to see this. But this is definitely a chick flick so leave the guys home and call your girlfriends. It is very entertaining! On Friday, I met my friend and downline in Stampin' Up, Corinne Gussloff at the Coloma Coffee House. If you are looking for a good place to eat. This is it! It is a cute little place and has homemade food that is excellent! And you can eat indoor's or outside in the patio area. I took some pictures so you can see how cute it is! The hours are Tues-Sat 7-2 and Sun 7-1. Go try it out!
After lunch we went to Corinne and Gus's cottage at Pleasant Lake. It is really cute! I had brought along my new Big Shot Die Cutting Machine that we are now selling and showed Corinne how it worked. I had also taken a new catalog over for her as her's had not arrived yet. So we oohhhed an ahhhed all the new stuff! Later Gus took us on a Pontoon Boat ride around Pleasant Lake! What a fun day! Boo
August Scrapbook Class
These are the scrapbook pages and mini scrapbook that we made at August's Scrapbook Class. The mini scrapbook uses the stamp set Always and has 4 clear envelopes that you use to hold 8 photo's or 8 - 4x6 scrapbook pages. We used Big Deal Alphabet and Crab & Co to stamp the scrap book pages. We had a lot of beginner scrap bookers at this class so I taught a pretty basic page to start with and how to use a stamp set to make your own pattern paper. They also learned how to use a paper cutter, how to mat and crop photo's and how to make the most mat's out of a 12 x 12 sheet. They loved using the new scallop border punch to make the border on the mini album. We had a great time at all the classes and it was fun having new people join us. Having all the extra space at the church is wonderful!
August Stamp Camp
Here are pictures of the projects we did at the August Stamp Camp's this month. The coffee cup card is the challenge card for September. What that means is that anyone who wants to participate can make this card, drop in the bag when they enter the church door so that know one sees it. Later, I set up all the cards, give them a number, and each person gets to vote as to which is there favorite card. The winner gets to keep ALL of the cards. So they will use the layout from the coffee cup card but can change the stamp set and use what ever colors they choose. I will try and remember to shoot pictures of the cards that are entered in the card challenge next month so that you can see there creations!

Thoughts of Father
This stamp set is called Thoughts of Father. I purchased it before Father's Day so I could make my dad's Father's Day card with it and I demo'd it at Lady Di's party. I spent most of the day stamping and working on masculine cards. I can tell you one thing....I enjoy making foo foo girly type cards much better! And I don't have a lot of masculine type stamps at the moment so I have to get creative. But Diane and Melissa plan on coming to the rescue with some. I hope the new catty will have some new ones! Speaking of catties....still impatiently waiting for my cases to get here! For us stampers it is like waiting for the Christmas catalog to come when you were a kid!
Loads of Love
I made 6 of this card last night with the Loads of Love stamp set. I have a customer at the flea market who comes every weekend and buys a few cards. She asked me to make some masculine cards as the majority of the cards that I have down there are girly or friendship cards and she needs some male birthday cards. I hope to get some more done today! Boo
Bloomin' Beautiful
Here are a couple of cards that I made a few weeks ago out at Diane's house one afternoon. This is with the stamp set Bloomin' Beautiful which I absolutely LOVE! It makes the most beautiful cards. This set was in the Occasions Mini Catalog and Diane had ordered it. I was sad that I hadn't ordered it and didn't think it would be available for sale. Well...the next day, Diane surprised me and gave me hers!!!! Isn't she a sweetheart! And the better news yet is that I found out that it made the NEW catalog! Yippeee....I will be able to demo it and you will fall in love with it too! I asked Diane if she wanted her's back now that I could order it and she said no....she is not an Indian Giver! So lucky me! I hope you enjoy the cards! Boo
Taffy trying to make the Great Escape!
I got such a kick out of watching Taffy trying to see out the back door! I couldn't get a shot of her actually looking. She has a second sense of when I have the camera out but I did get some cute pictures of her. I was tapping on the window of the door so she would look out again. She would look...I would step back and she would turn and then look at me. I haven't had anything this high sitting by the back door for awhile so this was a new thing for her. I think she looks like she is trying to figure out a way to ESCAPE! When Molly was little, I had the cat food by the back door. She used to get up on top of the box and try and turn the door handle! Too cute! Enjoy your pets! Boo

Mini Scrap book
I also finished a mini scrap book today that I will have on display at the flea market. I make these little books (empty of pictures) with my bind it all to sell at the flea market. Lady Di has been after me to make up a sample for down there and I finally did today. I should have done it way before now....but it doesn't seem like there are enough hours in the day most of the time! I also went to the bank and Practical Cents late this afternoon. At that point, I almost had this book done and I was trying to decide what I was going to put on the cover. I found this "bling" at Practical Cents. It is not my usual style but I thought it was kind of cute and that I could make it into a neat cover. I decided to mount it on Apricot Appeal card stock so that it would show up better. I had the tag, ribbon and button. Tell me what you think of the album. You can always leave comments on here and they get emailed directly to me, or better yet....stop down and see it in person and tell me! But I do love when I get comments on the blog!
I also found a bolt of tulle that we might use for the wedding or shower, plus a bunch of ribbon that I will be able to use on the cards that I sell. I hope tomorrow is as productive as today! Make it a good one! Boo
Summer School Picture in the Newspaper
Good Evening! I have had a productive day. I finished my projects for the scrap booking class that I will be teaching on Thursday night. It is ohhhhh so cute! I will post a picture of it after I hold the class. Can't spoil the surprise!
This weekend at the flea market I caught up on reading some of the Adams Blab. I did not know that the picture they took while I was doing my presentation at summer school made it in to the newspaper. I am on the far right. I had just gotten my haircut and it was too short to curl. So here is my "flat" look! Boo

UPDATED: Mizzi Replaces Cutajar as CEO of MRVA: "Three Rewarding Years," Says Cutajar.
The Malta Residence Visa Programme's (MRVP) processing entity, the MRVA, has informed Investment Migration Insider that, starting tomorrow, Charles Mizzi will be taking over for Roderick Cutajar as CEO.
Charles Mizzi is the former Chief Officer of Communications and Business Development at the Malta Individual Investor Programme Agency (MIIPA), the entity that manages the same country's citizenship program.
Roderick Cutajar – who, we learn, will be moving on to the private sector – is handing over to Mizzi the reins of a program he helped start in 2016 and one which has performed above expectations over the last two years; while competing with much larger and better known destinations, the small island state's golden visa (one of Europe's youngest) had received more than a thousand applications already by September last year.
More on that here: Malta Golden Visa Hits 1,000 Apps, Celebrates by Adding Commissions and Investment Options
Roderick Cutajar offers his comments:
"They have been three rewarding years, seeing the program transform and evolve into one of the best residence by investment programs in the world. Way back in 2016, the only thing in place was the relevant legal notice. Subsequently, and with the support of a pool of dedicated and passionate people, we managed to penetrate difficult markets such as China," Cutajar reminisces.
He adds that bringing about such an outcome involved frequent travel outside of Europe.
"As a Maltese national, delivering public speeches and presentations across the globe to promote the islands gave me great job satisfaction. This has been a wonderful and unique experience that I will treasure for the rest of my life."
In a press release issued today, the Parliamentary Secretary Julia Farrugia Portelli thanked Cutajar for his work and congratulated Mizzi on the new job:
Charles Mizzi has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Malta Residency Visa Agency, replacing Roderick Cutajar whose contract has expired.
Parliamentary Secretary Julia Farrugia Portelli thanked Mr Cutajar for his work in the past years.
Mr Mizzi began his career in the banking sector and worked with a number of local banks, where he occupied several roles in the marketing department. In October 2014, he became Executive Director Media and Marketing of the Maltese Presidency for the European Council. In 2017, he joined the Individual Investor Programme Agency as Chief Officer for Communications and Business Development, garnering important experience in the sector.
Charles Mizzi graduated with a Masters in Business Administration from the Henley Business School.
Parliamentary Secretary Farrugia Portelli congratulated Mr Mizzi on his new role which he has taken on as from 1st February 2019.

Active Tasks to Change the Use of Class Time within an Outcomes Based Approach to Curriculum Design
Access Status
MetadataShow full item record
Source Title
This paper describes how new roles for instructors and learners can be integrated into course design and delivery by rethinking course design as part of a process-based staff development program. The goal of incorporating online learning tasks was to engage students with course resources prior to class time through active learning. The staff development program guided faculty to consider ways to 'rethink' the use of student and teacher time to engage students in learning tasks to prepare for class time. In this way, students were able to use class time for active discussion rather than listening to a traditional lecture in the classroom. This paper reports on the overall results of this project and provides specific suggestions on how teachers can consider technology options within an outcomes-based approach to curriculum design.

Love Indefinable.
"Love is a lot of things. Love is kindness and compassion and grace, not only toward your partner but toward yourself. Love is giving someone space to be vulnerable but to be vulnerable in turn. I can explore parts of myself that I've hidden away out of fear, loneliness or shame. Love means pushing through that fear together, to create something new – something I couldn't create on my own. I'm not a different person when I'm in love. I'm more open and honest about who I really am. That's the power of love." - Becca Dierschow. This is Becca and Elliott. They give me hope.

A diet in pregnancy: This is considered unhealthy. Still, many women in pregnancy think about losing weight.
Many pregnant women feel uncomfortable with their weight during pregnancy. It is actually quite normal to increase steadily in pregnancy. However, this does not apply to women who are already overweight.
In the first months of pregnancy, many women do not feel hungry at all and are rather bad. But with the onset of the second trimester of pregnancy, that has often disappeared and pregnant women regularly struggle with hot hunger attacks. Of course, this also leads to many women increasing and then no longer feeling comfortable with the weight.
Is my weight gain normal in pregnancy?
The gynaecologist monitors the weight during every check-up. It can be a small shock if you have increased directly 4 kilos within a month. However, that's not a cause for concern: There are different weight jumps at different stages of pregnancy. However, weight gain also depends on the starting weight:
- Underweight: BMI below 18.5-> 12.5 to 18 kilograms
- Normal weight: BMI 18.5 to 24.9-> 11.5 to 16 kilograms
- Overweight: BMI 25 to 29.9-> 7 to 11.5 kilograms
- Obesity: BMI 30 and over-> 7 kilograms or less
What can I do if I get too much in pregnancy?
If you realize that your weight is increasing more and more, then you should try to pull the emergency brake. However, a one-sided diet in pregnancy does not make sense because the baby needs all the nutrients for its development.
Which helps you: Get more and try to eat healthily. But this does not mean renunciation: Instead of the fries there are oven potatoes now, chocolate is replaced by fresh fruit. This, of course, doesn't satisfy all pregnancy cravings, but makes physical sense.
Sports in pregnancy: Many sports are suitable for pregnant women. A high risk of injury should be avoided. These sports are ideal:
- Swimming
- Walking
- Cycling
- Strength sport
- Yoga & Pilates
Childbirth with obesity is more difficult
London researchers studied studies of childbirth with obesity worldwide: In doing so, they found that a BMI of 20 is ideal for having a successful spontaneous birth. Although many parameters were different in the studies, the researchers agree that less weight has a positive effect on childbirth.
However, the researchers saw the possibility of getting to grips with overgaviation even before pregnancy. As a rule, women announce their wish to have children at the gynaecologist. In severely overweight women, the doctor should lose weight even then advised to lose weight. This not only increases the chances of a normal birth, but also the probability of becoming pregnant in general.
Is there a real weight in pregnancy?
Every pregnant woman is distinguishable and there is no "correct " weight. While it is generally true that the less weight in addition to the natural weight that belongs to pregnancy is added, the pregnancy is healthier. Still, even if you're overshooting the recommended weight, that doesn't mean your pregnancy is unhealthy or you can't have a natural birth.
How the weight is distributed during pregnancy
You don't just increase in pregnancy because you feed too much chocolate. The changes in your body also cause you to go.
This allows the weight to spread in the body when you have increased around 14 kilos at the end of the pregnancy:
- Uterus: 1.5 kilos
- More blood: 2 kilos
- Placenta: 0.5 kilos
- Amniotic fluid: 1 kilo
- Bream growth: Around 0.5 kilos
- Fluid retention: Around 3 kilos
- Child weight: Around 3.5 kilos
- Fat reserves: Around 2 kilos

The other day I was reading a blog post about love that someone had shared. It compared the songs "All You Need Is Love" by John Lennon and Paul McCartney (who was left out of the article) and "Love Is Not Enough" by Trent Reznor. I won't go into the whole blog post; I'm sure you can find it and read it for yourself if you like. The author of the post is entitled to his perspective on Love. However, it prompted me to express my own thoughts on love, because I take issue with some of his assumptions. The reason I want to address it at all is because I think they are assumptions that many people make about "people like me" (my own quotes), who do find value in the words All You Need Is Love, just not in the way people might assume.
I don't know anyone who thinks that love alone will solve all the world's problems. Love is not meant to be a fairy tale idea of little bunnies helping you straighten up your kitchen (though that would be nice), while you await Prince/Princess Charming. Love is a verb. Love is an action. Love is not just an ideal, or words in a song.
For me the important part is that love is a starting place. Only starting from there can I change anything or solve a problem in a lasting way. Love is a place that I return to (as often as I can I remember), before I speak or act, and I wish more often before I drive. I don't expect love to magically fix or change anything. I do expect actions done with and from love to change things for the better.
I don't think love is the solution to all our problems, but I do believe love is the beginning of the solution to all our problems. To me "All You Need Is Love" is about where I am living from, not about some idealized notion of how love or relationships will be. It's not an excuse to not do the difficult work in life or relationships, but rather the internal strength that allows me to do just that. Love gives me strength to speak difficult truths, to peacefully stand up for what I believe in, to love my neighbor whether or not I agree with him, to admit when I'm wrong. Love allows me to recognize and let go of what isn't life giving or loving in my life. Love helps me to forgive and be forgiven. Love allows me to help create a better world, because it will be a world that begins from love.
From my perspective, actions great or small done from and with love, are all we need.

Bosnia captain Spahic set to face Nigeria
Bosnia-Herzegovina captain Emir Spahic will play in their crucial FIFA World Cup clash against Nigeria on Saturday, according to Borce Sredojevic.
Spahic left the training track on Thursday due to a left knee problem, casting a shadow over the Bayer Leverkusen man's availability for their Group F tie in Cuiaba.
But Bosnia-Herzegovina assistant Sredojevic said the 33-year-old central defender will push through the pain.
"I am optimistic about Spahic's chances because we all know his will power and what he means to the team," Sredojevic said.
Sejad Salihovic has failed in his bid to be fit for the clash with the Nigerians, after picking up a muscle injury prior to their 2-1 loss to Argentina.
Miralem Pjanic said he is confident Bosnia will outclass their African opposition.
"I believe in our team. I do respect Nigeria but we are the better team. We are going to win this," the Roma midfielder said.

At this point, we all know I love a good, inexpensive clutch. The uses that I have for them often involve heinous acts of bag abuse in dive bars, so it's best for me to not invest more money in one that I'm willing to lose when I leave it sitting on the back of a toilet.
My stance on this issue is rather pragmatic, and I'm betting that I'm not the only girl in her 20s that has to weigh those concerns when they pick a bag for a night out. You want to be stylish, but you don't want to put one of your most prized bags at risk. Which is where the Hobo International Triple Chain Clutch comes in.
And what interests me the most in this cute little clutch is not the triple chain handle that is referenced in its moniker – I find the frame far more interesting. The shiny silver closure is curved and sleek in a retro way that I can't get enough of. In person, it feels sturdy and thick, like it wouldn't fall open and spill your stuff all over the sidewalk.
And, as always, patent is one of my favorite materials for this type of bag. Any bag that's going to be taken to cocktail parties or bars is going to come in contact with its fair share of liquid at some point, whether it be when someone spills a drink or when you sit it down on a bar or table that hasn't been wiped down. Patent is much less porous and much easier to clean than regular leather or satin, particularly when it comes to liquid. This clutch comes in several colors, but my favorite is the medium grey that you see here – it's the sort of shade that will serve you well year-round. Buy through Nordstrom for $98.

Martin's appeal wins praise
The American Cable Association and the Parents Television Council Friday
endorsed Federal Communications Commission member Kevin Martin's call for TV
programmers to schedule family-viewing blocks.
The ACA -- which represents small cable MSOs and independent system operators --
praised his suggestion for à la carte selection that would allow parents to pick
which channels they want to receive or for a special family-viewing tier.
Martin said the idea would let parents pass on channels now routinely
included in basic-cable tiers that they don't want their kids to see.
Tyhe ACA has endorsed à la carte pricing as a way to keep down costs of obtaining
Big MSOs, many of which own interests in cable networks, oppose à la carte
"Commissioner Martin's challenge should also be extended to the mega-merged
broadcasters and programmers that continue to raise programming rates with
impunity and continue to abuse cable operators and subscribers through
retransmission consent, tying, bundling and forced tiered placement," ACA
president Matt Polka said.
PTC president L. Brent Bozell praised Martin and
fellow commissioner Michael Copps for requesting revival of the broadcast
family-viewing hour.
"I am happy to see that two FCC commissioners are truly concerned about the
violent and sexual content that is being televised in homes every night by
broadcast networks," he said.

BUILD Day 2: Keynote Summary
Day 1 was great. Lots of amazing sessions (many of them filled up very quickly so you had to be quick to get into them). I took a few in (ranging from Azure services to Bing Translator services in your modern Apps) and will create a separate blog entry to call out a few details that I found interesting this week as a general session "round-up."
Now that we're here in Day 2, I'm eagerly awaiting the beginning of the Day 2 Keynote. If yesterday was any indication of what's to come, today should be another great keynote. Alright, here we go!!!
Scott Guthrie opened the platform emphasizing the "Cloud and Mobile" first approach.
He also mentioned that there 44 new announcements with Services that are being announced for Azure today! (I've tried to capture most of them here.) He also mentioned that we've opened up major data centers in Shanghai and Beijing, which are now GA. Some key stats from Microsoft Azure that Scott walked through are represented in the following slide:
Scott showed a video of TitanFall that outlined how it uses Azure and how the server-powered gaming experience heavily leverages Azure. They had more than 100,000 virtual machines that were deployed on launch day. He also mentioned the Sochi Olympics, and how Azure delivered content and media throughout the major games. And my favorite sport, hockey, marked a Cloud-streaming record where there were record-number people watching the US vs. Canada hockey match.
Scott then brought Rick Cordella from NBC on-stage to talk about the experience of using Azure.
Rick mentioned that NBC took a $1B bet on Azure with the Olympics. "Azure played a critical role in this happening."
Scott then dived into the specifics of what works with Azure. Some enhancements Scott walked through:
- Azure enables Windows and Linux, and now you can create, manage and debug VMs from within VS 2013.
- Azure now has support for capturing images, such that you can replicate the images fast and easy.
- Easily configure Azure through Puppet, Chef and PowerShell.
Mark Russinovich then came on to do a few demos, including creating VMs from within Visual Studio, debugging the VM (very cool because this means you can debug remotely into the app running on the VM using an Azure agent running on the remote machine), PowerShell management of VMs, and Puppet integrator (Puppet Labs now has an image inside the gallery).
Mark also invited Luke Kanies on stage from Puppet Labs to talk through and show how Puppet Enterprise works. He showed dynamically updating the Task Manager in a remote machine through the Puppet Enterprise console—a very easy update.
Mark then invited Daniel Spurling from Getty Images on stage to discuss how they're using Azure, emphasizing the fact that they want their images/videos to be available to the world in real-time using Azure. Daniel emphasize the need for massive scale and storage required for Getty and Azure.
Scott then came back on stage to summarize the IAAS Services and make some new announcements. See the slide below.
He then segued into a discussion on PAAS, reinforcing the efficiencies and productivity of the platform. He then discussed the Azure Web Sites functionality. He talked about some of the efficiency gains through "swaps" when balancing staging versus production, as well as covering off on a number of other cool new features in Web Sites such as cross-language and platform support—shown in the slide below.
An aside: Azure Web Sites is awesome. I've used it in a number of ways, from new to migrated web sites to integration with SharePoint apps. The direct integration with the developer story is second-to-none, scalability, App insights, and many of the other built-in features, this PAAS choice from the within the Azure platform makes it one of many significant competitive differentiators for Azure.
Scott then invited Mads Kristensen on stage to walk through a few of the features that Scott discussed at a higher level. Specifically, he walked through the new ASP.NET templates emphasizing the creation of the DB layer and then showing PowerShell integration to manage your web site. He then showed Angular integration with Azure Web sites, emphasizing easy and dynamic ways to update your site showing deep browser and Visual Studio integration (Browser Link), showing updates that are made in the browser show up in the code in Visual Studio. Very cool!!
He also showed how you can manage staging and production sites by using the "swap" functionality built into the Azure Web sites service. He also showed Web Jobs to show how you can also run background jobs and Traffic Manager functionality to ensure your customers have the best performing web site in their regions.
Scott then came back out and made some announcements, as per the slide below:
He also talked about a new cert/SSL offer (that provides 1 free cert) within Web site and then segued into talking about the mobile space, specifically talking to Azure Mobile Services, emphasizing the Active Directory integration with Mobile Services—which is great because this allows you to build enterprise-grade mobile applications that target multiple platforms in a very easy way!
Yavor Georgiev then came on stage to walk through a Mobile Services demo. He showed off a new Mobile Services Visual Studio template, test pages with API docs, local and remote debugging capabilities, and a LOB app that enables Facilities departments to manage service requests—this showed off a lot of the core ASP.NET/MVC features along with a quick publish service to your Mobile Services service in Azure. Through this app, he showed how to use Active Directory to build the app—which prompts you to log into the app with your corp/AD credentials to use the app. He then showed how the app integrates with SharePoint/O365 such that the request leverages the SharePoint REST APIs to publish a doc to a Facilities doc repository. He also showed how you can re-use the core code through Xamarin to repurpose the code for iOS.
The app is shown here native in Visual Studio.
This app view is the cross-platform build using Xamarin.
Kudos to Yavor! This was an awesome demo that showcases how far Mobile Services has come in a short period of time—love the extensibility and the cross-platform capabilities. Very nice!
Scott came back on after Yavor emphasizing the importance of Active Directory, walking through some of the key features of Active Directory such as Sync and broader app integration.
He then invited Grant Peterson from DocuSign on stage to discuss how they are using Azure, who demoed AD integration with DocuSign's iOS app. Nice!
This is really huge for those of you building apps that are cross-platform but have big investments in AD and also provides you as developers a way to reach enterprise audiences.
Scott then came back to discuss some of the new announcements for Mobile, as per the slide below.
Scott then turned to discussing data, noting that there are 1M+ SQL Databases being used and a 500GB increase for SQL Database and that you now have automatic back-ups built into the SQL Database service (this is a built-in feature). He also discussed Active Geo-Replication, such that the DBs can be set up to asynchronously replicate across regions. He also made a number of announcements, which are listed as follows:
Scott then moved into discussing the tools, emphasizing language, and invited Anders Hejlsberg to discuss project "Roslyn." Anders announced an end-user preview for Roslyn and demoed some efficiencies gained through this preview at the programming language level. He also announced that they are open-sourcing the entire Roslyn project (which you'll find on Codeplex). Anders published the Roslyn project live to Codeplex!
Anders walked through using the new "Roslyn" preview to build a new version of VS that accepted new language features (support for French quotes). Very, very cool!
Miguel de Icaza then came on stage to demo building an iOS app using Anders new language model.
Scott then came back on stage and then talked about tooling and support for Open Source, specifically talking about the .NET Founding contributions.
Bill Staples then came on stage to show off the new Azure portal design and features. Bill walked through a number of the new innovations in the portal, such as improved UX, app insights, "blade" views, etc. A screen shot of the new portal is shown below.
Bill also walked through the comprehensive analytics (such as compute and billing) that are now available on the portal. He also walked through "Application Insights," which is a great way to instrument your code in both the portal and in your code with easy-to-use, pre-defined code snippets. He completed his demo walkthrough by showing the Azure portal as a "NOC" view on a big-screen TV.
Scott then came back on stage to reinforce the "transformative" nature of Azure and then introduced Steve ("Guggs") Guggenheimer. He discussed partner and developer ecosystems and conversations, emphasizing three key conversations:
- Support existing technology investments
- Cloud and mobile development
- Maximize business opportunities across platforms
He then invited John Shewchuk on stage to walk through a demo, which illustrates a transformation from a WPF app into a more modern app—moving the WPF app into a data-layer that sits in the Cloud and an identity layer that leverages Cloud-based Active Directory. John also showed an older WinForm app into a more modern MVVM app, with C# running on the server and the UI living as HTML5. Guggs also showed the same app on a device as well.
Steve then discussed the area of "Internet of things" where he addressed devices without UI—specifically talking about Windows Embedded and carrying this forward.
Steve and John then also talked about Surface devices in the cockpit, where 700 pilots are now using Surface Pros. They walked through Jeppesen Flight Deck Pro on the device to show how pilots would use the Surface Pro. They then discussed AutoDesk and FlipBoard as other examples of apps that either are using services that may be deployed to the Cloud or have been modernized for the Windows and mobile experience—showing the performance of FlipBoard on a Nokia 520 device. John also walked through migration of a FourSquare app to evolve the tile display using a geofence configuration in the code.
Guggs also walked through a SenSoria demo to showcase how fitness integrates with Cloud. A couple of screen-shots from Guggs walking around stage—where the app prompted to move more quickly to hit a more optimal fitness/calorie-burn rate.
Guggs also showed a video from Vespor, who leverage Azure as a back-end service for their note-taking iOS app, and another video showcasing Gobbler, a tool (or communications layer) for artists that helps manage project files and storage.
Guggs then showed how the Cloud optimizes gaming with enhanced performance. They also showed how you can use JavaScript (through Babylon) to very easily extend and show enhanced Virtual Reality.
The last area Guggs focused on was cross-platform for maximum mobile reach. The showed off a partner called GoPro and Java integration and support on Azure (through some minimal configuration)—see below.
They also discussed Accela, where they showed integrated services that bring different information sources into one view with a common identity layer across the app.
They also showed how you can use tooling to take a web site and create a Mobile app, using a URL to migrate a web site and then using "offline" mode that caches the site for offline use in the Mobile app. Very cool.
Guggs then took the sports app from the Day 1 keynote using Xamarin, which they showed on a Surface, Android and iPAD. They reinforced all of the different non-MSFT SDKs that are available to developers.
All-in-all, there was a lot that was shown in the Day 2 keynote; lots of Cloud advancements, app migration/modernization, and cross-mobile discussions with a good bunch of partner call-outs.
I have to say these two keynotes have been really significant. The charge was "Cloud and Mobile," and all of the demos/areas discussed leaved up to the playbill. From these two days, you can see the importance of Windows (and all of the permutations where we'll find it) and the dedicated tooling and language support that enable cross-platform, -language and –device support.
Overall, really exciting stuff!

Drive into the Future of Digital Automotive Marketing with SEO
Marketing has experienced a significant shift in the last few decades. Businesses from a diverse range of industries are now abandoning old-school TV and billboard based techniques and using the internet as a channel through which they can connect with foreign consumers and expand their global reach. In fact, marketers across the globe have reportedly shrunk their conventional advertising budgets up to 28% to inflate the size of their digital marketing budget.
This shift in marketing trends has revolutionized modern automotive dealerships. Instead of listing their inventory in local newspapers or TV commercials, car dealers can now advertise to their target audiences through their websites. Customers can also use the internet to compare prices and their experience with dealers, which allows dealers to build credibility and use feedback to improve their operations.
However, with more and more auto dealers building their online identities, competition in the digital realm is rising. Car dealerships need to stay on top of the latest digital marketing trends and implement the same, in order to stand out and attract prospective customers.
Here are some SEO techniques driving the future of digital automotive marketing.
Make Your Site Mobile-Friendly
More than half of the individuals shopping for cars over the internet use mobile devices to browse through available options, according to studies. Unresponsive websites incapable of adjusting their elements according to screen sizes of various smart devices can make it difficult for visitors to view available vehicles. Poor user experience may drive prospective leads away from your website, increasing your bounce rate and ultimately leaving a negative impact on the website's Google rankings. So if your site doesn't have a responsive, mobile-friendly design, consult trusted web developers to upgrade it and optimize it for search engines.
Earn Reviews to Build a Reputation
Search engines sort web pages on the basis of their relevance to a query and their perceived popularity among web surfers. This is why online reviews play a crucial role in building a positive reputation and increasing your search engine result rankings. Begin by introducing a reviews or testimonials page on your website. Next, try reaching out to your existing customer base via email, text or any other channel and request them to describe their experience with your dealership. You can also consult a reputation management firm and let professionals handle this for you.
Harness the Power of Google My Business
Google My Business is a platform launched by Google, which allows brands to gain local exposure and efficiently manage their online presence. All you need to do is provide relevant information regarding your dealership, which will place you on Google's listings. GMB then uses the provided information to create a Google Maps location that is synced to your Google search, which makes it easier for people to find your page.
Implement Schema Mark-Up
Integration of schema mark-up is one of the key SEO trends shaping the future of digital marketing at the moment. It's involves using code to help site crawlers understand the content of your website in a better way. Schema markup implementation allows search engines to distinguish between different types of information on your site and display it in search results accordingly.
For example, if your website is using schema mark-up, Google will be able to determine whether the numbers listed in your web content make up your business contact number or are a part of your postal code. Schema mark-up improves online visibility and increases the possibility of your target audience members finding your site.
Get Citations
Search engines value web pages that are credible. This is why it's important to build your website's credibility to boost SEO and generate web traffic. An approach to this issue can be to get as many citations as possible, from other websites. You can choose to list your business in local business directories or online platforms specifically developed to help people find auto dealerships.
Digital marketing holds immense power in modern day and age. Following the techniques we've mentioned, you can steer your auto dealership's digital marketing to success. However, for prompt and efficient results, it's always better to consult professional SEO specialists.

Steven M. Johnson imagined the shower of the future 25 years ago
We recently posted The shower of the future recycles its own water and heat, after which Steven M. Johnson sent us a note:
This was a recycling shower that I imagined would be used at a future time, though I was not in a position to imagine complex filtering, etc. My wife thought the idea was GROSS, showering fully or partially in your own dirty shower water. But at least I had a small filter on the shower head.
But it wasn't such a bad idea at all; it just needed a better filter.
Steven M. Johnson imagined the shower of the future 25 years ago
Once again our favorite visionary was ahead of his time.

"If I had only one sermon to preach, it would be a sermon against Pride. The more I see of existence, and especially of modern practical and experimental existence, the more I am convinced of the reality of the old religious thesis; that all evil began with some attempt at superiority; some moment when, as we might say, the very skies were cracked across like a mirror, because there was a sneer in Heaven."
~G.K. Chesterton: "The Common Man."

The village
Gueux is a village located west of Reims, in the outskirts of the northwestern part of Montagne de Reims. The A4/E50 motorway between Reims and Paris runs through the commune and divides Gueux from its southern neighbour on the Montage de Reims slope, Vrigny.
The Gueux commune covers 886 hectares and has 1704 inhabitants (as of 2013) referred to as Gueuxiens and Gueuxiennes.
In the village, there is a palace and park called Château & parc de Gueux. The property was bought in 1856 by Eugène Roederer (brother of Louis Roederer) who then built a new château in a neogothic style. This château was destroyed in a fire in 1918, and in 1928 Le Golf de Reims was instead on this location, on the initiative by the Grandes Marques organisation of Champagne.
The vineyards in Gueux consists of mild slopes located on the northwestern part of the Montagne de Reims, and can therefore be counted as part of the "Petite Montage de Reims". On the other hand, the village is also located rather close to the Vesle river, that also runs through Reims, so it can also be counted as part of the Vallée de la Vesle. Pinot Meunier is the dominant grape variety.
The current vineyard surface in the Gueux commune is 19.8 hectares (48.9 acres). There are 16.7 ha Pinot Meunier (84.5%), 2.3 ha Pinot Noir (11.7%), and 0.8 ha Chardonnay (3.8%). Numbers from CIVC, as of 2013. In 1997, the vineyard surface was 18 ha. There are 9 vineyard owners (exploitants) in the commune.
Single vineyard sites
- Les Béguines, a site to the immediate southwest of the built-up area of the the village, close to the A4 motorway. See Jérôme Prévost below.
Champagne producers
Champagne growers
Producer status is indicated where known: RM = récoltant-manipulant, or grower-producers. RC = récoltant-coopérateur, growers that are cooperative members but sell Champagnes under their own name.
- Boland-Nominé
- Cornu-Jancart (RC), formerly had an address in Jonchery-sur-Vesle.
- Benoît Dinvaut (RC)
- Jérôme Prévost (RM), one of the new generation of small grower practicing biodynamics (but without certification), and one that is very highly regarded. Has 2.2 ha of vineyards, all of it Pinot Meunier in Gueux, of which ha in one block. The Champagnes are produced from the vineyard Les Béguines site, planted in 1962-1964 and inherited from Jérôme's maternal grandmother. The label says La Closerie, which is the name of the domaine, and Les Béguines, which is the vineyard name. Most vintages, a white Champagne is produced. A rosé is sometimes produced as well (under the name Fac Simile), and the vintage can be identified via a code on the label, since they are disgorged and sold too soon to be called vintage Champagnes. The annual production is 13 000 bottles, which together with the attention and cult status means that the Champagnes of Prévost often are difficult to find. 1998 was the first vintage.
The grapes of Prévost used to be delivered to the cooperative in Coulommes-la-Montagne. In 1998, Anselme Selosse provided room for him in his cellar in Avize, which gave Prévost the possibility to keep half of his own grapes and to produce his own Champagne. From 2002, he has his own cellar.

The president urged citizens to "unite the national spirit, the national determination around peace."
President Nicolas Maduro continues his call for peace, dialogue, and the defense of Venezuela's sovereignty during Tuesday's 205 Annual Youth Day celebrations.
Maduro: 'White Supremacists, KKK' in White House Plotting Against Venezuela
"I want peace for Venezuela, we all want peace for Venezuela, for the war drums to drift away, for the threats of military invasion to recede and for Venezuela to say with a single chorus, with one voice: We want peace! Happiness," Maduro told the roaring crowds.
Celebrating the nation's 205 anniversary of the Battle of La Victoria, the president urged citizens to "unite the national spirit, the national determination around peace."
Marches traveled from the Plaza Morelos to the Plaza Bolivar in Caracas in a frenzy of flags, posters, and chants, denouncing the attempted coup d'état promoted by the United States on Jan. 23.
"When the story is written in 200 years this generation will be remembered as a brilliant generation that defended the Homeland. I'm sure," the president said.
#EnVivo �� | "Una juventud bien formada es garantía de un país con futuro", señaló el mandatario nacional @NicolasMaduro #JuventudInvencible pic.twitter.com/0IuxLFpFjK— Prensa Presidencial (@PresidencialVen) February 12, 2019
During the event, Maduro also discussed his impending beautification plans for Venezuela under the Bella Mission, which will focus on "converting parks, squares, public spaces into spaces for culture" for a greater inclusion of youth in this activities.
About 80 percent of Venezuelans reject any interventionist action against the South American nation, Venezuela's Vice President for Planning Ricardo Menendez told teleSUR Tuesday.
Menendez indicated that the figure is derived from the recent study conducted by the Venezuelan Planning Institute over a period of two years.
The official said that the results of the analysis contrasts with the story the opposition has tried to write over the so-called crisis in the country.
The results of the study show 92 percent of people responded negatively to a military invasion of Venezuela and 86.5 percent rejected the financial sanctions imposed unilaterally by the U.S.

While pregnancy is a beautiful and miraculous experience, it is also the most uncomfortable you will ever be. Like many women my feet were huge during pregnancy. It was uncomfortable to wear any shoe I loved before. I was sad each time I tried to put on my favorite pair of heels or boots. I admit I even cried a little when I realized nothing else fit. Many of you have also been in this state of utter despair.
I couldn't be barefoot all the time, so I was stuck trying to find a shoe that fit my swollen feet. Finding shoes when you are pregnant is not an easy task. First, you have to be able to bend enough to try them on or have someone put them on for you. It was quite embarrassing to ask the store clerk to help me put on a beautiful shoe only to find my feet were hideous. I also had to make sure the shoe would be comfortable for a pregnant woman, so the heels could not be tall, the straps had to be loose and the sole needed to be strong enough to not flop around and trip me.
I was relieved when I found the Yellow Box Abbey sandals. They were stylish and comfortable! One the rare occasion I looked into a full length mirror or store window and actually saw my feet, it was nice to have sandals on that made me feel beautiful, if only for the moment. I love those sandals and was thankful they came in several colors, so I could match them with my clothing and mood.

Biography - Abel Randolph
Abel S. RANDOLPH, farmer, P. O. Virden, was born in New Jersey August 5, 1831; his father, Louis RANDOLPH, was also a native of New Jersey, but moved to Jacksonville, Ill., in 1835, and remained there one year, and then removed to Jersey County, where he is still living; he was one of the early settlers of the county, and holds a prominent position among the agriculturists of the county; his wife, Mary COMPTON, was also a native of New Jersey, and is still living; she is the mother of seven children, of whom Abel was the second child; he received his education in the common schools of Jersey County, and assisted his father upon the old homestead until he was thirty years of age, when he came to Montgomery County and continued his occupation as a farmer for himself; he erected his dwelling and made all other improvements on the farm himself, and has now in his possession 200 acres of choice farm land, well fenced, well stocked, and which he keeps in high state of cultivation; the surroundings on Mr. RANDOLPHS's farm denote energy and enterprise, and show him to be a practical farmer, and well worthy of the position he holds as one of the leading agriculturists of the county; he devotes time to growing the usual crops, and raises all the stock he handles; politically, his sympathies are with the Republican party. He was married in Jersey County, June 9, 1869, to Minerva EDWARDS, who was born in Ohio October 27, 1838; she has borne him one child, Henry, born April 21, 1870. Mrs. RANDOLPH was a daughter of Andrew and Mary (DARLINGTON) EDWARDS, natives of Ohio. Mrs. RANDOLPH is connected with the Methodist Church at Wesley Chapel.

text: Despite the benefits of using a limited liability company to operate a business, advisers usually will warn the business owner that one significant drawback of operating a business as an LLC is that taxable income allocated to owners who are active in the business is subject to self-employment taxes. This tax is imposed on all allocations of income, not just on the income or cash actually distributed. While several strategies exist to mitigate the exposure to this tax, a recent U.S. Tax Court case has introduced additional uncertainty into the utilization of these strategies, and it raises additional questions in an already uncertain area of taxation. It is clear that self-employment income includes a person's allocation of income from a trade or business carried on by a partnership, including an LLC, of which such person is a partner or member. There is an exception to this rule for limited partners. Unfortunately, the rules addressing who can qualify as a limited partner were developed before LLCs even were in existence, so there is little guidance on the issue of when an LLC member is treated as a limited partner for self-employment tax purposes. In 1997, the IRS issued regulations providing that an individual, including an LLC member, would be treated as a limited partner unless any one of the following was true: n the individual has personal liability for the debts of or claims against the partnership by reason of being a partner; n the individual has authority to contract on behalf of the partnership under applicable state law governing the entity; n the individual participates in the partnership's business for more than 500 hours during the partnership's tax year. The 1997 regulations provided several exceptions to these rules that give rise to planning opportunities for LLC members. For instance, those who do not qualify as a limited partner under the above tests, but who own more than one class of interest in the partnership, can avoid self-employment tax on the portion of LLC income allocated to their separate investment class of LLC interest, provided that other members qualifying as limited partners own at least 20% of the LLC interests with identical rights and obligations. This is a common sense approach that bifurcates an active owner's interest in an LLC between income that is a return on actual investment and income that's payment for services. Complaints about these regulations prompted Congress to order the IRS not to finalize them. There has been no additional guidance so many practitioners rely on these regulations even though they remain proposed and not final. Although the exceptions contained in these regulations often are used, a recent U.S. Tax Court case indicates that taxpayers should use caution when relying on these regulations and the related exceptions. In this case, a group of lawyers asserted that allocations of income from their legal practice were not subject to self-employment tax because most of the income allocated to them was based on their limited partnership interests. Each partner had a separate, nominal general partnership interest that allowed them to exercise management rights. The lawyers paid self-employment tax only on the income allocated to this relatively small general partnership interest. The court held against the lawyers. It based its analysis mainly on the plain meaning of the term limited partner, and focused on the legislative history of the exception from self-employment tax for limited partners that predated the regulations discussed above. In this case, the court found that limited partners essentially are passive investors, in that they are not able to exercise any management authority, and their partnership income essentially was a return on their investment. Applying this to the lawyers, the tax court said they were not limited partners, so all their income allocation should be subject to self-employment tax. The 1997 regulations were not a part of the analysis. The result in this case is not surprising because personal service income (as in the case of the law firm) will always be self-employment income. The fact that the tax court took a more simplistic, historical approach to its analysis raises the question of whether reliance on the proposed regulations and the exceptions therein would be respected if challenged by the IRS. As a consequence, self-employed business owners face uncertainty on this issue and will need to look at planning strategies beyond the proposed regulations to clearly delineate what LLC income is subject to self-employment taxes.

Graduate school is an entirely different beast as compared to an undergraduate education. On the first day of graduate school, my M.A. and Ph.D. advisor, said "The question is not what, the question is why." These words are as true today as they were when I first heard them. The purpose of graduate school is push you into asking why is x this way? Why is this phenomenon occuring? What is the driving force behind this? Graduate school pushes you to answer these questions, but before you answer these questions, you ought to prepare yourself for the journey you are about to embark on.
Reach out to your graduate dean prior to registering for your first semester about what classes to take.
When I registered for my first semester of graduate school, I registered for Ph.D. level courses as an incoming M.A. student. It was pretty embarrassing when my dean's office emailed me to notify me of this. Graduate programs are typically more relaxed when it comes to what classes you take so reach out to your graduate dean prior to registering for your first semester about what classes you should take. You will more than likely take a theory and research methods course your first semester, which will give you a strong foundation moving forward in your program.
You are free to choose a majority of the classes you want to take.
You'll be more than likely have a small set number classes you are required to take such as research methods and/or theory. Typically, you will take these courses in the beginning of your first semester. These courses are also a great way to get to know other students who are starting your program too.
On the other hand, this leaves you much freedom in what additional classes you want to take. Historical Politics of Southeast Asia? Go for it. Political Advertising? Why not? Use these classes to best benefit you. Most classes are on a two semester rotation so plan your schedule around that.
Find an advisor who will assist you during your graduate school career
Your graduate advisor will also be a graduate faculty member, meaning they are well versed in the process and know classes you ought to take. Utilize them to your best advantage. Have a question about a class you might enroll in? Go to your advisor. Are you wondering how prospect theory can play a role in political communication? Set a meeting with your advisor. Don't be afraid to reach out. Make sure you pick an advisor who will best fit your needs.
RELATED READ: 5 Things To Know Before Taking The GRE
Meet with you graduate dean before starting the program to see about a graduate assistantship.
Your graduate dean likely has influence over who is awarded a graduate assistantship within your program. A graduate assistant could be a teaching assistant in a course, be a faculty member's research assistant and/or teach a low level course. This opportunity gives you a great learning experience and you will get to know other faculty members. Typically, you are paid and your tuition is partly covered, a nice incentive if you are paying for your own schooling. Make yourself known to your graduate dean before the semester starts so they will know your name when reviewing graduate assistantship applications.
If you are a graduate assistant, it is likely you will be officed with other graduate assistants.
Make the most of of this. You are likely surrounded by fresh graduate students who probably have the same doubts and fears as you do. You might meet people who are in your classes this way too. If you are officed with a group of graduate students, make sure you introduce yourself and make connections with those around you. These people will likely be your support system through this journey and you will lean on them more than you realize.

So after I read The Turning, I said I wanted to read a novel by Tim Winton. I picked Dirt Music mainly because it was such a great title. It's a story set in Western Australia, about an unlikely liason between two people who are both at the end of their rope in one way or another. Georgie is a woman who seems never to have found her place in life, in the world or even in her own family. She was a successful nurse, but has left nursing, is living with Jim whom she doesn't love and who doesn't love her, and seems to be descending into depression and alcoholism when she meets Luther.
Luther is a man who did once have a place in the world, living on his family home with his brother, his brother's wife and their two children, playing "dirt music" in a family band. When Luther's whole family is killed in a tragic accident, he is cut adrift and unable to re-start his life. Georgie and Luther drift together, but the fact that Georgie's boyfriend Jim is a powerful man who has every reason to dislike Luther and has the power to destroy him, drives them apart.
Of course, there's a lot more going on here than just a love story. The setting — a fishing community in Western Australia, and then various other locations as the characters journey north — is as important here as any of the characters. It's one of those novels that really gave me a sense of the foreignness, strangeness and beauty of a faraway place. My favourite sections of the novel were the ones where Luther is living alone in the wilderness on a remote island; the prose painted a picture both of how gorgeous and how harsh that landscape was.
Of the the two main characters, I was inclined to find Georgie a bit of a whiner ("Pull yourself together, woman!!") while I liked Luther better and sympathized with him more. His journey through grief is compelling and believable, and I completely felt what he was going through. I loved the passages in which he was forced to confront the memory of how flawed his lost loved ones really were, so that he is able to remember them rather than his idealized image of them. I also loved that fact that in those passages, after having been unable to play music since the tragedy, Luther unlocks and confronts those memories when he starts making music again.
I'm still unsure how I felt about the ending of this one, but I thought it was a strong and evocative novel with one of the most moving fictional portrayls of grief that I've read in a long time.

Why Your Employees Probably Do Nothing All Day (and how to fix it)July 21, 2014 - 4 minute read - Posted by Guest Author
At some point or another you've probably worked alongside an employee who seems to do nothing all day.
You know the type I am referring to? They are often the first to take advantage of sick days, usually always late to the office, and are the first to leave on a Friday afternoon. In other words they do just enough stay employed but never really grow professionally or contribute like some of the others.
It's not so much that they are impacting productivity, but there is something else missing. There is no passion, no drive, and no willingness to jump into anything.
Your first reaction may be reprimand or remove the culprit. No one wants a deadbeat employee right? True, but if your employees are doing nothing because they are disengaged, it might not be too late. Regardless, the problem isn't going away on its own.
The good news is that if you can determine why your employee has checked-out, you have a better chance at fixing things before it's too late.
Here are some of the biggest culprits:
They don't know what they should be working on
If tasks aren't properly defined or communicated, don't expect employees to automatically take initiative. Employees with clearly defined tasks and responsibilities are much more likely to be engaged with their work than those without role clarity. Ensure you have complete visibility to your team's tasks and responsibilities. Use this as a starting point for frequent check-ins and discussions. Also, create goals for each employee and team. The more employees understand their tasks and the related impact, the easier it is to achieve these goals.
They don't have job satisfaction
According to a Gallup poll conducted last year, only 29% of American employees are engaged in their work. This means over 70% percent of workers are disengaged. Is it any wonder employees are slacking? They're miserable! But the good news is that job happiness isn't just about money anymore. Employees are now looking for other things: like recognition, culture, and growth opportunities. So don't be afraid to ask your team what they value, and what motivates them. The solution might be easier than you think. But again, it comes down to constantly checking in and anticipating problems before they escalate.
They can get away with doing nothing
No one wants a micromanager, but that doesn't mean employees don't need accountability. Flattened hierarchal structures like holocracy are gaining a lot of attention, but it's only going to work if tasks are clearly defined and employees are held accountable. If done right employees can take full responsibility for their own work without the feeling of management breathing down their neck. Help them achieve this with constant support, feedback, and learning opportunities. Invest in a tool that allows you complete visibility over what your employees are working on.
They don't know how their work contributes to the big picture
You know that 'plan' that you and the executive secretly met about? The one that you didn't share with anyone, let alone your team members? Well hoarding away corporate knowledge isn't helping your team understand the company vision. Yes, not ALL information needs to be shared, but great leadership begins with complete transparency. At the very least show employees how their work matters to each other and the overall vision. It may feel odd and intimidating at first, but it really helps people understand what everyone else is working on.Tags: 1-on-1, coaching, constructive feedback, self management

If Odell Beckham Jr. keeps talking this way, people are going to start looking for more pizza videos.
The Giants wide receiver is obviously feeling optimistic, despite the fact his team is 1-7 heading into Monday's game with the 49ers.
"Win eight games," Beckham said of his goals for the second half, via Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News. "Go 9-7 and get in the playoffs."
Maybe he's still feeling the birthday cake, as he said he generally plays better after his birthday (Nov. 5).
"It's Scorpio season," Beckham said. "It's time to turn up."
Beckham had a productive first half, with 61 catches for 785 yards. But that came with just two touchdowns. Again, that's twice as many as the Giants have wins, which is going to make it hard for his birthday wish to come true.

Anne Falk
What in your eyes makes vocational training with innogy so special?
innogy offers apprentices much more than just basic training, starting with seminars and projects we organise ourselves, through to time spent abroad. And also, the trainer team is always there to offer advice and support when needed. I feel good here.
Why did you decide to undergo vocational training with innogy?
I looked at what different companies offer in terms of vocational training programmes. What appealed to me about innogy was the additional opportunity to train as a foreign language correspondent.
How does innogy support you in your training? Do you feel well looked after?
I feel very well looked after and supported. A lot of learning material is made available to me and I can always talk with other apprentices, trainers and colleagues and share my ideas.
For apprentices who have been there a bit longer (more than 1 year): Have your training hopes and expectations been met? And what was something that took you completely by surprise?
They were exceeded. For instance, I didn't expect we would be allowed to spend up to four weeks abroad as part of the training.

Turbo-training for university dropouts
Did you feel that your course at university wasn't for you? Then switch to vocational training and use the technical knowledge you have already acquired: as a dropout from university you can get a fresh start with us. This will open a multitude of new prospects and opportunities for development. If you show enough commitment, you'll be able to do it quite quickly: cut your training time short and speed up your career.
Jean-Philippe Merz, 24
What Jean-Philippe was missing
Why did you drop out of university and decided to take up vocational training instead?
The trigger really was just one exam that I was missing in order to finish the elementary part of my course and move on to the main part. So I only had two options: try to continue at a different university with different exam regulations or change to vocational training. However, I was not sure if I would be able for that. Also, the university course was quite theoretical and even though it was very interesting, I wanted to do something with a more practical focus.
Did your university experience help you during your vocational training?
Yes, of course. Although I spent three years at university, it would be wrong to say that the time there was a waste. Most of the material that comes up during the theoretical part of my training is a very simplified version of what is taught at uni. Therefore I pick up each new topic during vocational training very quickly.
Would you recommend to university dropouts to apply for a place in a vocational training programme?
Yes, absolutely! I would say that an ex-student won't have any major problems during vocational training. For me at the time it was a big leap from the extensive and complex material in the lectures to the relatively easy subject matter in vocational training. During vocational training you also gain professional experience that students usually only get later on in their careers. This is very helpful when looking for a job.
