Book and author news – various items
Where the world of crime fiction is concerned, Carol of the Usual Suspects does a great job of keeping us group members informed. She recently sent along information about a Google doodle that pays homage to the great Golden Age writer Ngaio Marsh. The doodle appeared only in Marsh's native New Zealand, so one would have known nothing of it had we not been specifically alerted to its existence:
Shortly thereafter, Carol forwarded an article on Marton Cottage, once home to Dame Ngaio.
One of my favorite novels by Ngaio Marsh is Death in a White Tie. This is as much a novel of manners as a mystery, providing as it does a close-up look at the 'London season' with all its social commotion and marriage market significance. It's a poignant tale of loss, and an even more poignant love story. The tone commingles compassion and irony. The writing is unfailingly graceful and precise.
What a splendid job Felony & Mayhem Press has been doing in bringing so many of Ngaio Marsh's Roderick Alleyn novels back into print. Click here for the full list.
And click here to hear Dame Ngaio explain how she first came to the writing of crime fiction.
Thanks so very much, Carol, for pointing me to all this excellent material!
In her Washington Post review of Jane Smiley's Early Warning, Valerie Sayers proclaims: "In an era of tweets, texts and flash fiction, the big, juicy novel is ascendant again." One can only say, thank goodness!
Early Warning is the second volume in a projected three volume trilogy. Some Luck, the first, moves at a slow, deliberate, even magisterial pace. One learns, like the Midwestern farm folk in the novel, to become attuned to the slow unfolding of events. I loved the book, and I'm very much looking forward to reading the sequel.
And speaking of anticipated sequels, Kate Atkinson's A God in Ruins, a follow-up to Life After Life, is due out here on May 5. With its digressive, nonlinear narrative, Life After Life was a book I was prepared to dislike. In fact, I expected to be unable to get through it. In the event, it held me spellbound – a masterpiece of compelling storytelling.
Some months ago, I received word that Martin Edwards was writing a nonfiction work on the beginnings of the Detection Club and the rise of crime fiction in England in the early years of the twentieth century. It was to be called The Golden Age of Murder. I pre-ordered on Amazon as soon as I could, and two days ago it came:
Subtitled The Mystery of the Writers Who Invented the Modern Detective Story, this is a tome of substance, clocking in at some 457 pages (including bibliography). I plan to hold off for as long as I can before plunging in. It looks delicious!
Congratulations are due Martin Edwards, himself a wonderful crime fiction writer (and blogger) and a distinguished scholar of the genre as well.

I love the google doodle. And my copy of Martin Edwards' book just arrived, too! Oh, boy it looks wonderful.
Shirley ONeill said,
Ngaio Marsh is one of my all time favorites. I re-read her at least once every couple of years, A Clutch of Constables being my favorite. Thank you for sharing this fabulous information.

PEOPLE ARE KNOWLEDGE: Wikipedia, Oral Citations & Academic Authority
Friday, Feb. 3rd, 12:00 – 2:00
LB-1014, Library Building
1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd W.
CEREV presents a viewing and discussion of "People are Knowledge" (dir. by Achal Prabhala), a 45-minute film exploring the incorporation of oral citations into Wikipedia.
Discussants will include Dr. Jon Soske, History (McGill) & Dr. Monica Patterson, History/CEREV (Concordia)
Abstract: Does the internet, and particularly digital archiving, have the potential to transform the practice of academic history? Historians, on the whole, have been notably reluctant to engage with new information technologies. One reason may be the ways the internet has the potential to challenge forms of authority that have characterized history as a discipline. The historian has long occupied the role of a privileged mediator between archive and readership. But the technology now exists to integrate the full range of sources that a historian employs, including interviews, into the text of books or articles — as hypertext in foot notes, for example. Providing this type of access to readers not only opens up space for a much wider range of debates regarding our interpretive choices (which we often dissimulate in producing historical narratives); it also invites different publics to engage with academic writing as an ongoing process of knowledge production. Instead of rising to this challenge, it can be argued that the discipline has developed a mode of "hypocritical literacy": the placing of certain technologies (like Wikipedia) outside of our research and teaching practices while continuing to defend older pedagogical forms (like the course lecture) which train students to accept information largely on the basis of a professor's institutional authority.

In this interview, Startuprad.io talks to our first startup from the Czech Republic. We are very happy that they made it to LendIT in London, where we talked to them. We talk to Michael, who is Co-founder and CEO at ThreatMark.
The startup ThreatMark helps short term lenders and banks to minimize the default risk on loans with online application forms. They make the forecast, which loan is going to repay in full, better. But not only that, but they also help the companies they are working with to identify online fraud in credit applications.
Tune in to learn more
00:06: Announcer: Welcome to startuprad.io. Your podcast and YouTube blog covering the German startup scene with news interviews and live events.
00:20: Joe: Hello and welcome everybody. This is Joe from startuprad.io. Your startup podcast and YouTube blog from Germany. I'm still here at Landed in lovely London. And I do have another startup here with me. But you're not from London. By the way, welcome.
00:35: Michael: Thanks.
00:36: Joe: Can you introduce yourself to our viewers?
00:39: Michael: Sure. My name is Michael Dresdner. I am the CEO of Treathmark. I'm coming from the Czech Republic from a lovely city called Bernard.
00:47: Joe: Very nice, welcome. I was just down here at your booth and you told me what your company actually does. And I find it pretty fancy zone. Basically, you're reducing risk in loan applications. What are you actually doing and how you do it?
01:07: Michael: Okay, so actually this is our second product, which is based on the same technology as the first one. But this second one is really designed for an online lending business. It can basically predict if the user will go to default or also identify fraudster only based on behavioral biometric profiling. So we look at the things such as how users are typing on a keyboard, how they operate the mouse. And what is the interaction pattern with the form elements, for example, when filling in the application? So based on those measurements we can tell if the user will default at the end or not.
01:44: Joe: Actually I never paid any attention to how I fill out forms that will change from now on. And I was wondering how do you actually work with that? Is there like a basic rule like everybody like me who are doing completely crazy, will default like yesterday? Or is it more nuanced?
02:08: Michael: Yeah, it's a much more complex of course. It's based on machine learning and it is using big data. So we need to collect, we first need to collect a lot of data about the behavior of the users. We see thousands of applications. Then we are provided by some feedback. So we know which behavior of what users went to default. And what were the users that really paid the loan back? And based on let's say a comparison of the current users' behavior to the groups of behavior that we have seen previously. We can tell using this complex machine learning models if the user will actually go to default or not. So it's not easily fooled by any let's say things that you can really modify by your will. It's something that is really deep inside your brain and you cannot really modify it.
03:00: Joe: It's like subconscious behavior.
03:02: Michael: Exactly.
03:03: Joe: Okay. And what I also found interesting when we talk before, you said there's like no blueprint. Like always this works, always that works. You have to adjust it to your bank because you're actually looking for banks as clients.
03:19: Michael: Yeah. We are actually looking at those. Let's say short term lending providers. Because these are the most vulnerable. But of course, even banks can benefit from this solution. But as you said, it's not easily done in a way that we are looking at some specific behavior. We are using machine learning to adjust automatically what is actually the behavior of the users for that specific platform. So basically it needs to be learned again and again for each new application or each new lender for example. Because their interfaces are different and the system will see different behavior on different elements per user.
04:00: Joe: I'm wondering how many clients you already have. And do you see some like basic similar behaviors? Because Nisha one said if the order and chaos ever get into battle, chaos will win because it's better organized.
04:17: Michael: Yeah. Like the solution from Threat Mark is currently used by around 15 banks and some other, let's say, lending loan providers. But this new technology based on, let's say behavioral biometrics only, it's only used by few customers right now. And we are running a few PLCs. So what we see for now is that there are some common behavior patterns of a fraudster for example. So you can easily tell that it's fraudster when he really knows how to go through the whole application. So we measured timings between let's say the filling of different form fields. And by that, you can tell that it's really a tech-savvy person that knows what they want to achieve. Quite often they even have a prepopulated synthetic identity that they are using simply by copy-pasting to the form fields.
05:10: Joe: I see. So basically if there's someone who's doing it as a fraud, he not does one but like 20 applications. And he usually just copy and paste, very simplified.
05:23: Michael: They can even only try to do let's say one application. But even for the one application, they act very differently to what the general public can do.
05:36: Joe: Okay. And do you like also match it with data like women, men, age groups and stuff like that?
05:42: Michael: We try not to because of GDPR. So it wouldn't be a nice solution if we can really match the gender or age or something like that. But of course it might be possible, but we don't focus on that field.
05:57: Joe: Okay. Because I just want to ask you one last question. Who's the most trustworthy? So, but apparently, you cannot do yet. We'll have down here in the show notes, the link to your company website to personal LinkedIn profiles so everybody who is interested can reach out to you.
06:14: Michael: Okay, great. Let's reach out to me. And it's not only about lending, so we can help you to achieve, but I would also say any user identity verification in online channels and cyber threat detection.
06:27: Joe: Also like insurance?
06:28: Michael: Not like insurance. It depends, like if it's done in an online environment then for sure. But what I meant is, for example, if you're running some travel industry, some e-commerce platform or let's says Bitcoin exchange. All of that are targets for fraudsters. And we can help to protect against those types of people.
06:50: Joe: Great. Thank you very much.
06:52: Michael: Yeah, thank you.

New York, April 28: Kawhi Leonard starred the Toronto Raptors outclassed the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals, while Denver Nuggets reached the second round after topping the San Antonio Spurs.
Toronto eased to a 108-95 victory in Saturday's opener against Philadelphia thanks to Leonard's career-best postseason performance of 45 points and 11 rebounds.
Pascal Siakam chipped in 29 points to be the only other Raptor in double-digits. The two carried the load and had 49 of the team's 61 first-half points on home court in Toronto.
While Leonard and Siakam's shots fell, Toronto effectively shut down Philadelphia's top scorers. Joel Embiid was held to 16 points while Ben Simmons finished with 14 and Jimmy Butler 10.
The 76ers did not have an answer for the Raptors, who started the game making 13 consecutive field goals in the first quarter to build a lead they would push to 20 at one point in the fourth quarter.
While the NBA semi-finals have officially started, the first round of the playoffs came to an end following the Nuggets' 90-86 win against the Spurs.
The Nuggets broke a decade-long streak of failing to win a playoff series by edging the Spurs courtesy of Nikola Jokic's triple-double – 21 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists helping secure a showdown with the Portland Trail Blazers.
Jokic, who logged a career high in minutes for a regulation game, shot nine of 26 from the field on top of a tireless defensive performance that shut down Spurs stars.
LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan were held to 16 and 19 points respectively, while the team's best player came off the bench. Rudy Gay tried to put the Spurs on his shoulders behind a team-high 21 points.
Leonard lights up Toronto
Did we mention Leonard had 45 points? It is worth saying again. Since joining the Raptors this season, the three-time All-Star has been their star player and in the playoffs, it is no surprise Leonard been their biggest contributor. He was 16-of-23 shooting from the field and three of seven from long distance in the first semi-final game.
Jokic has been a stud in his playoff debut, but it was Jamal Murray who led the Nuggets. He finished with 23 points on nine-of-19 shooting.
Spurs start slow
The first-quarter Spurs get this nod. They scored just 13 points in the opening frame and allowed the Nuggets to build their lead early. By half-time, San Antonio was shooting just 22 per cent from the field. Although it came close to tying the game, the opening woes caught up with the five-time champions and their season came to a close.
Leonard and Siakam combine
You do not want to get in either guy's way as Leonard denies Tobias Harris and Siakam finishes with the slam!

Rockets at Warriors
This should be a good one. Sunday marks the start of the Western Conference semi-finals where the Houston Rockets will face the Golden State Warriors at Oracle Arena. MVP favourite James Harden and company will hope to take advantage of the battle-tested Golden State team.
The Warriors are coming off a tough six-game series where they had to withstand the hungry Los Angeles Clippers and saw two stars suffer ankle injuries. Both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson were listed as questionable on Saturday per head coach Steve Kerr.
Meanwhile, Houston have had plenty of rest after wrapping up their 4-1 first-round series against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday.

Marketing I/O Provides a Framework to Drive Business Outcomes
The holy grail for marketing is to have a bold and grandiose marketing strategy, tactically execute it, and then have the capability to measure the outcomes. Unfortunately for most, the strategy is either unrealistic or the tactics are poorly implemented. Thus, there is minimal impact.
Organizations often implement one-off campaigns and operate in silos. They lose sight of the big picture and the larger business strategy that needs to be supported.
For marketing to deliver an impactful return on investment, all campaigns as well as the target audience, content strategy, and editorial calendar need to be aligned and synchronized.
Our Marketing I/O framework provides a blueprint to connect the dots of marketing strategy down to tactical execution. Use it as a guide to integrate your campaigns and gain visibility on how the top of the funnel activities flow through the pipeline and impact business outcomes, however you measure them.

I did do the finishing on the fob I stitched a few days ago. I'm very happy with how it turned out.
Then today I decided to stitch another one! I think its due to working on such a huge project like Paradigm for so many hours at a time that I feel the need to break it up with smaller pieces. I'll do the finishing on this one tomorrow.

English PEN is disappointed at dismissal of David Miranda's claim for judicial review
English PEN intervened in the case as a third party, along with Article 19 and Media Legal Defence Initiative. As an organisation that works to defend the right to freedom of expression in the UK and around the world, we believed that the detention of David Miranda under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 and the retention of his property, including sensitive journalistic materials, was a disproportionate interference with his right to freedom of expression.
Read the intervention submitted by English PEN, Artilce 19 and the Medial Legal Defence Initiative.
Miranda was assisting his partner Glenn Greenwald in his reporting for the Guardian of the revelations regarding the NSA's and GCHQ's surveillance programmes, a continuing story of national and international importance that is clearly in the public interest. The stopping of an individual assisting the reporting of the story, and the seizure of their materials, has profound implications for press freedom in the United Kingdom.
While the court recognises the substantial importance of the issues raised by the case, the judgment will expose any journalist covering a story on national security, who passes through a port in the UK, to being detained under Schedule 7 and having their sources or material seized. It therefore threatens to undermine protections for journalists that are recognised in international law and may deter future sources from providing information to the media in the public interest.
We are equally disappointed with the statements of the court regarding the role of journalists in a liberal democracy. In particular, the judgment questions the media's authority to decide on publishing material relating to national security, stating that this is a constitutional role reserved for governments. We believe that this would limit journalists' ability to cover stories of the greatest national importance and public interest.
Read the full judgement of the court on the Judiciary.gov.uk website [PDF]
Commenting on the ruling to the media, our director Jo Glanville said:
'The Snowden leaks are one of the most important public interest stories of recent years. The court's dismissal of the case may discourage both whistleblowers and journalists from covering similar news stories in the future, and undermines the media's essential role as a watchdog in our democracy.'

Salt Lake Rabble Rousers
A crowd of thousands cheered Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson for calling President Bush a "dishonest, war-mongering, human-rights violating president" whose time in office would "rank as the worst presidency our nation has ever had to endure."
The group - including children and elderly and some hailing from throughout Utah - then marched to the federal building Wednesday to deliver a copy of a symbolic indictment against the president and Congress for abuse of power and failure to uphold the U.S. Constitution.
With their signs labeling Bush, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld the "axis of evil," calling the Iraq war a "mission of lies" or comparing the invasion of Iraq after Sept. 11, 2001, to invading Mexico after Pearl Harbor, the estimated 1,500 to 4,000 protesters hoped their demonstration at the Salt Lake City-County Building sent a message about the reddest state in the country.

Should You Get Background Checks for Volunteers?
Posted by Ryan Howard on Tue, Mar 11, 2014
You probably know that it's wise to run an employment criminal background check for any employee you hire, but what about your volunteers? If you hire volunteers, should you run background checks for them too? The answer is yes.Why do you need to run employment background checks for volunteers? Let's take a closer look:
To protect your business
If you're going to allow volunteers access to anything valuable or proprietary about your business, such as sensitive data like customer information or money, you'll want to avoid any potential problems that could arise if the volunteers you accept have criminal records.
To protect your customers
Your customers have a right to expect that if they patronize your business, those who serve them will do so safely and effectively. It's especially true that if your business serves particularly vulnerable populations, such as children or the elderly, you need to be sure that you're not putting them at risk by allowing volunteers with records of abuse to serve in your organization.
To protect yourself
In some cases, you may be required to run employment background checks on volunteers before you accept their help. States have increasingly adopted new laws in recent years that either suggest or require background screening for both volunteers and employees. Check with your own state laws to see if you are required to do so – but again, even if you're not actually required to do so, it's still a good idea to protect you, your customers, and your business.
Volunteers must consent to employment background checks
You cannot simply run an employment criminal background check on volunteers or employees without their consent; they must give permission to do so.
How to run an accurate background check
The Internet has made it very easy to run background checks on employees and volunteers alike today, but you must be careful not to rely solely on criminal background database searches. While it's important to save money whenever possible, it's wise to choose a service that will run criminal background checks very effectively. This is where VeriFirst can help.
Why use a service like VeriFirst to perform an employee criminal background check?
So-called "free" employee criminal background check services or results pulled up by search engines won't always be accurate. Public records can also give inaccurate information, including false positives. False positives occur when potential volunteers are screened and shown to have criminal records when in fact they don't. This of course is unfair to potential volunteer in question, but it also means that you miss out on the kind of qualified help you need for your business or organization. An accuracy service like VeriFirst verifies the results of your background check searches, thus assuring you that the results you get are as accurate as possible.

text: MADRID, Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- As the second half of the Liga Santander season begins this weekend the title race hangs in the balance, while the battle to avoid relegation for the moment appears to be much clearer. Here are some things to look out for during Matchday 20 in Spain.1) How deep is Real Madrid's 'crisis?"With a club as important as Real Madrid every defeat or setback is magnified, but following their exit from the King's Cup on Wednesday the word 'crisis' is being floated by sectors of the press. Whether two defeats, a win and a draw on the back of a 40-match unbeaten run merits the term 'crisis' is open to debate, but the fact is Zinedine Zidane's side are going through a slight dip in form (although it would be wrong to fault the attitude of the majority of their players.)Sunday's visit of Real Sociedad should provide a litmus test of Real Madrid's true positon: a win against the Basque side, who are currently fifth in the table, would help clear the horizon and a week off following their Cup exit would allow some tired legs to recover, a draw or a defeat against a rival that lost 5-2 to Barcelona on Thursday would set alarm bells ringing.One further factor, with Dani Carvajal and Marcelo injured, Zidane will again have to adapt a defense which has been less than convincing at times this campaign.2) Betis to test Barca's powers of recoverySuch is the reality of life in Spain and the perceived bipolarity of La Liga that if Real Madrid are in crisis, there is usually good news in the camp of their bitter rivals, FC Barcelona.Barca qualified for their seventh successive Cup semifinal in style on Thursday with a 6-2 aggregate triumph over Real Sociedad and now travel to Betis, two points behind Madrid and knowing a win away to Betis on Sunday lunchtime would make them leaders, all be it for a question of hours.The issue is whether Barca have time to recover as they play at midday on Sunday after finishing at 11pm on Thursday. The league have done them few favors with their scheduling, while injuries to Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets and Javier Mascherano present a further problem for Barca boss Luis Enrique.Betis are unbeaten at home since Victor Sanchez replaced Gus Poyet as coach and the Benito Villamarin Stadium will be a hostile stage for Barca to continue their pursuit of the title.3) Leganes need to take advantage of Celta's Cup runLeganes have made a solid start to their first ever season in the Primera Liga ending the first half of the campaign with 18 points, five above the relegation zone.Asier Garitano has built a side that is hard-working and organized, but with only 15 goals in favor, they are the lowest scorers in the completion and have just one home win in their Butarque Stadium.Although on paper Celta Vigo may not look like the easiest of rivals, Saturday sees them travel to the south of Madrid on a wave of emotion after knocking Real Madrid out of the quarter-finals of the King's Cup and will rest players ahead of next week's semifinal first leg. Celta are packed with talent, but for the moment the Cup is clearly their priority and that could give Leganes the chance to rack up three vital points to make their cushion over the drop zone that bit more comfortable.4) Yeray to give the weekend 'feelgood' factor as old boys return to BilbaoIt is just over a month since Athletic Club Bilbao's 21-year-old defender Yeray Alvarez underwent an operation for testicular cancer. Subsequent tests showed he needed no further treatment and the youngster, who was arguably Athletic's best player until his diagnosis, returned to training.He was on the verge of being called into the squad ahead of last weekend's 2-2 draw against Atletico Madrid, and will certainly get the nod when Ernesto Valverde names his squad to entertain Sporting Gijon.Expect an emotional ovation from the fans in the San Mames Stadium when Yeray steps onto the pitch this Sunday, be it as part of the starting 11 or as a substitute: his return is quite remarkable.Meanwhile Sporting travel to Bilbao after securing a loan deal for Athletic midfielder Mikel Vesga until the end of the season. Vesga joins other Athletic 'old boys' Borja Viguera, Fernando Amorebieta and Ismael Lopez at the club: as Sporting look to escape the relegation zone, they will at least be on familiar ground.

(i) may not be submitted anonymously;
(ii) may not be based upon hearsay; and
(iii) shall only be based upon the personal knowledge or opinion of the person submitting the statement or material.
(h) The Board may refuse to accept, remove from an offender's file or pardon application, or refuse to consider any statement or material submitted which is irrelevant, defamatory, hearsay, or which does not otherwise conform to Board rules.
9. A pardon hearing may be conducted by the full board, or by a panel or a single board member assigned by the board chair. If conducted by a panel of the board, the board chair may appoint members to the panels in any combination.
10. The Board may grant a conditional pardon or an unconditional pardon. The petitioner will be notified in writing of the results as soon as practicable.

(b) The board shall provide clear written directions to the pardon recipient along with a list of agencies known to be affected by the expungement order.

Before, the awareness concerning sex-related health was not therefore prevalent. Many individuals were not quite conscious regarding the advantages of buy condoms online birth control methods. Lots of folks declined using up contraceptive measures as the worry of sexually transmitted diseases (Sexually transmitted diseases) was actually certainly not as major as it is currently. The rise of unsafe as well as casual sex in the country has brought about increased amount of Sexually transmitted diseases and also STIs such as genital herpes, excrescences or HIV/AIDS. These sex-related concerns have acted as an eye opener to lots of people and also the use of condoms as a preventive measure has currently increased at a quick pace.
Making use of prophylactics has actually improved to a much greater cost due to the three-fold perks that it offers you. Firstly, condoms help you to steer clear from venereal diseases and contaminations; second of all they are a trustworthy way to avoid against unexpected maternity and also thirdly, some prophylactics are actually designed to enrich your sexual efficiency and satisfaction. Condoms are actually crafted from different materials like rubber, latex, polyurethane, polyisoprene or lamb bowels. Away from all these styles, latex prophylactics are actually the best commonly utilized. Latex condoms provide more protection as they are flexible, springy and strong. A prophylactic is actually worn over the penis before penetrative sex and also is actually taken out as well as thrown away securely after make use of.
Strangely along with increased understanding of condoms these days, a number of beliefs have begun arising. Let's look at some of these myths as well as demystify them with true truths.
Misconceptions and also facts regarding condoms
Condoms lessen natural lubrication: This is incorrect. Latex prophylactics or in fact, all branded prophylactics included silicone or a few other sort of lubricant. So, you perform not require to make use of Vaseline or a lubricant if you want to appreciate better lubrication. Excess of oiling, if made use of with the condom, can easily diffuse the condom resulting in tiny gaps in them.
Less sensitivity: Lots of people strongly believe that condoms can help make a guy much less sensitive yet the fact is that some prophylactics can create a man much more vulnerable. Take the range of Durex prophylactics for instance. The Durex Fetherlite alternative gives you an extremely light feel, making you added sensitive.
Condoms except foreplay: Some folks assume that condoms are merely meant for penetrative sex and also except oral sex, but this is actually an incorrect declaration. Some STIs may obtain transmitted in the course of foreplay too and if you intend to be actually safe, put on a prophylactic.

Making a first impression is one of the few things in life that is completely in your control. Getting off on the right foot can lead to multiple benefits in future personal and business relationships. But how does this affect us when we communicate through digital media?
First impressions are just as important online as they are in person. The good news is many of the same tips listed here on how to impress someone in real life also work in digital world. The only problem: While you may have up to 30 seconds in person, you only have about 7 seconds when it comes to digital.
Therefore, here are 7 tips to impress someone online in 7 seconds:
- Talk or type as if you're talking to your BFF: When online, there's a good chance you're mostly likely talking to someone you don't know – the more approachable you sound, the better the feedback you'll receive.
- Use humor: Just as you would in person, you can't take yourself too seriously. Using humor will give you more appeal to a greater audience.
- Be brief, and use sound bites: Nobody wants to stop and read something long online. Use sound bites – they work, and you can do less with more.
- Use pattern interrupts: People who are online are usually scrolling through hundreds of messages at once. So how can you stand out? Interrupt with a question or an image, but do so in a pattern that makes sense.
- Spark conversation: Shock jocks get it. Say something unexpected and provocative to gain attention online, but do so in a way that sparks positive conversation.
- Strong message, but an open mind: People online are interested in what you have to say, but have no interest in being talked down to. Keep their interest with an open, yet strong, message.
- Don't take any connection for granted: Just as in real life, the next connection you receive may be the most important one – you can never know for sure.

When Paul was forced out of Thessalonica and had to leave his new brothers and sisters in Christ there, he knew he was leaving them in danger. They were open to the persecution of the Jews, the confusion of false teachers, and the temptation of Satan to return to their old lives. Paul could "bear no longer" the thought of leaving the new believers vulnerable and alone in their spiritual infancy (v.1, 5), so he sent Timothy, his brightest associate, to look after them.
This letter was evidently prompted by Timothy's return from Thessalonica after he had spent time teaching and encouraging them. The report he brought to Paul was very encouraging: the church was thriving! They still had a lot to learn (v.10), but their faith in God was strong and their love for one another was vibrant. Paul couldn't have been more pleased; this is what he lived for: "for now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord" (v.8).
Moving forward, his prayer for the church was that their love would grow and overflow. Christlike love is the prime indicator of Christian maturity. An atmosphere of love is the greenhouse in which disciples grow. Love is what compels us to take the gospel to the lost. Love has a way of purifying our motives and our actions and promoting holiness (v.13). If there is a problem in the church, love is the answer. If you don't know how to pray for your church, just pray that love will "increase and abound" (v.12).
In the final verse of this chapter, Paul mentions the second coming of Christ (see 1:10 and 2:19). In chapters 4 and 5 he will address this doctrine in detail, but what he has said so far is enough for us to go on: until Jesus comes, love. Keep loving your brothers and sisters in Christ and keep loving the lost. That about covers it.

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The business meeting `Link and Match` between small-scale entrepreneurs (SMEs) and large industries could increase the productivity of about two thousand workers, a director general stated.
Director General of SME of the Ministry of Industry, Gati Wibawaningsih, made the statement after attending the business meeting among automotive SMEs, brand holder agents (APM) tier, and large industries at the Ministry of Industry in Jakarta on Tuesday.
"For example, let us make a calculation. An automotive component SME has 20 workers, and today, we invite 100 SMEs. This means there are two thousand SME workers who have the potential to be continuously productive," the director general remarked.
She added that creating quality workers was one of the challenges being faced in developing and strengthening SMEs.
For this reason, the Ministry of Industry will provide assistance to SMEs by developing partnership with large industries.
"When the industry grows, we also have to prepare the workforce. Therefore, there must be cooperation," Wibawaningsih revealed.
The SME director general of the Ministry of Industry noted that her office is currently working to connect vocational high schools (SMK) with industry.
The connection between the world of education and industry, according to Wibawaningsih, can be one solution to the problem of insufficient quality workforce in Indonesia.
In a business meeting at the Ministry of Industry, on Tuesday, there were 15 SMEs who were ready to partner with large industries.
There are three large companies that signed partnership contracts at the event, namely PT Dharma Polimetal, PT Mada Wikri Tunggal, and PT United Tractor Pandu Engineering (Patria). The three of them partnered with seven SMEs from Tegal District, Central Java.

A swim bladder is similar to a lung in structure and function in some primitive fishes, but it is not a lung because most cases its primary role is not respiration.

Weekend of events to celebrate town's historical charter
PUBLISHED: 10:16 31 May 2018 | UPDATED: 10:57 31 May 2018
An event held to showcase all that Beccles has to offer is returning for the fifth year.

"During the weekend a number of gardens, courtyards and other spaces of interest in the town will be open to the public and this year's event has a number of new participants, notably the Beccles Men's Shed and the Beccles Fairtrade group, as well as groups such as the Waveney Stardust which have supported Charter Weekend from the very beginning.
"Charter Weekend is intended to be a celebration of the town and during it visitors and residents alike are encouraged to visit some of its secret places and many attractions."
Other events include a quilt exhibition and flower designs at Hungate Church, where members of the Men's Shed will also be displaying some of the projects they have been working on, water bicycles and historic boats at Hippersons Boatyard, a meet the author event at Town Hall, the Waveney Stardust offering river tributes and a floral display celebrating Beccles' status as a Fairtrade Town outside Beales.

Vicarious Bettor You've Got to Know When to Fold `Em
Article excerpt
The Vicarious Bettor plays off a $100 stake provided by his employer. Each week, he wagers a small portion of that amount and reports the results here.
The game: Caribbean Stud Poker
Session: 1 p.m. Friday at the Casino Queen
Caribbean Stud is one of the few table games that can deliver a huge payoff for a small bet. On this game, for example, I could have won $84,000 for a $16 bet. The biggest return I could get at craps, roulette or blackjack is 35 to 1. Of course, all I had to do to hit the big jackpot was draw a royal flush in five cards. Yeah, right.
Anyway, I played three hands at the Queen. Each time, I bet my $5 ante and a $1 side bet for the progressive jackpot. And each time, I folded.
That's right. In three hands, I could scare up nothing better than ace-queen.
I know some Caribbean players who still would have challenged the dealer. …

Officials Called in to Kill Gator
Bayou George, FL - An alligator recently killed a 5-year-old bloodhound in Florida. A woman had taken Datsi and her other dogs for a run when Datsi jumped into a lake to cool off. The dog was subsequently attacked by an alligator. The dog managed to get away, but her injuries were so bad that she collapsed and died on the shore.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission called in a trapper to catch and kill the alligator.
How many US dog owners -- who have witnessed their dog or cat brutally attacked and killed by a pit bull -- deserve the same justice? How many thousands of pet owners wish they too could call in the "Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission" to destroy the offending pit bull, which has a genetic history of violent, animal aggression?

- Yield
- 8 servings
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- Salt
- Cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan (about 2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack (about 2 ounces)
- 1 cup chopped onions
- 1 (10-ounce) bag fresh spinach, stemmed, rinsed and chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
- 2 (15-ounce) cans artichoke hearts, drained and julienned
- 10 to 15 small corn tortillas, cut into fourths
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Preheat the oil in a deep fryer. Combine 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil and flour in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture constantly 5 to 6 minutes for a blond roux. Whisk in the milk and bring the liquid up to a boil. Season the liquid with salt and cayenne. Simmer the liquid for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the liquid is thick and coats the back of a spoon. Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cheeses. Set the sauce aside. In a saute pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and saute for 2 minutes. Stir in handfuls of spinach at a time, until all the spinach is incorporated. Add the garlic and artichoke and saute for 2 minutes. Season the vegetables with salt and cayenne. Remove the vegetables from the heat and turn into a mixing bowl. Fold the cheese sauce into the vegetables. Turn the mixture into a baking pan. Bake the dip for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Fry the tortilla chips, batches at a time, for about 2 to 3 minutes or until the chips are golden and crispy. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the chips with the dip.

What is 5G?
Everyone seems to be talking about 5G. It's set to be a General Purpose Technology (GPT) that can make our day-to-day lives more efficient and smarter. It'll redefine our work processes and offer an economic advantage. But what will it really deliver?
Aside from all the promises, 5G has been tested in some specific locations and has been proven to offer between 10 to 20 times faster speeds than 4G. This means you'll be able to download a full HD film in a matter of seconds. It's been developed to cope with big data and is alleged to be able to handle 1000x more traffic than 4G.
What else can this technology be used for?
Some have suggested it'll be incorporated into our everyday lives through the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a collection of devices such as vehicles, phones, home appliances etc. that all communicate and exchange data with one another for a given purpose. As an example, your Amazon Alexa device is a form of IoT within your home. Alexa speaks to your TV, light switches, fridge, car and more, to handle any of your commands. 5G will enable more and more devices to connect to the internet. Therefore, the investment in innovation in this type of technology will be paramount.
Don't forget the prospect of us all being chauffeured around by driverless cars, drones being able to carry out search and rescue missions and wearable devices that can notify the emergency services in the event your health is at risk. Would you welcome a life surrounded by technology in your home, city and workplace? It'll become part of our day-to-day lives, just like computers, phones and the internet.
A 2018 study by GiffGaff predicted that by 2025 consumers' data usage will rise to 98GB per month. That's a lot of data.
When is it coming?
5G is predicted to start deployment in the UK late this year and more services will be rolled out throughout 2020. In the first instance, 5G will be a service for densely populated cities and will likely be adopted by venues such as arenas, train stations and airports to offer a better service.
But who really knows the scale of how much 5G will be able to impact our personal and working lives. There's a whole new future of technology that hasn't been invented yet and it's an exciting future ahead, tell us your predictions…
