The University of Adelaide Honours Scholarship
The winner is selected by a panel including the Chair of the Zonta Club of Adelaide's Award Committee. It takes into account the applicant's academic achievements and the quality, depth and usefulness of her post-graduate research. The scholarship is presented at an annual Awards Ceremony for all post graduate and undergraduate scholarship winners at the University of Adelaide.
An annual scholarship of $3,000 is awarded each year to a female graduate of the University of Adelaide's School of Science and Engineering undertaking an Honours course. This award was initiated in 1975 as an open Fellowship Award granted to women to enable them to continue in an aspect of their chosen profession.

Young Women in Public Affairs Award
In 1995, when the Beijing Platform for Action was adopted, the global average proportion of women in parliament was just 11 percent. As of 1 December 2018 women hold 24 percent of seats in the world's national parliaments. Many barriers to women's political participation and gender parity in political representation still remain across the globe. Recognizing that to bring about sustainable changes that benefit all of humanity, women must have equal participation in the decision-making process, Zonta International established the Young Women in Public Affairs Award in 1990.Established in 1990. This Award honours young women aged 16 to 19 who demonstrate a commitment to leadership in public policy, government and volunteer organisations. The program operates at the Zonta club, district and international levels. Zonta clubs provide awards for club recipients, and district and international awards are funded by the Zonta International Foundation. Ten international scholarships of US$4,000 and up to 32 district/region scholarships of US$1,500 are awarded each year. Applications must be submitted through a Zonta club. To download the 2019 YWPA Award application, click here.

text: European competition authorities consider environmental and competition policy to be complementary, as each has the objective of improving social welfare. Naturally, one would imagine that environmental considerations have already been accounted for in competition policy practice, but thus far, only in the case of voluntary environmental agreements. This paper analyzes the extent to which the two types of policy are complementary by examining the legal framework of competition policy, voluntary environmental agreements and three competition cases with equal relevance to the environment and then examines the basic theoretical economic observation that less competition implies lower pollution levels relative to more competition. This trade-off between the benefits of reduced emissions on the one side and increased competition on the other implies that disregarding environmental considerations in the implementation of competition policy entails a negative externality, which can be eliminated if environmental considerations are internalized in competition policy. The impact of the externality is found to depend on the emission level, the emission damage, and market size. Further, this implies that if competition authorities were to adopt a broad definition of the relevant market in competition cases, then environmental considerations would play a limited role in competition policy, whereas a narrow definition implies that environmental considerations should have a much more important place than competitive considerations in competition policy.

Instagram will soon allow users to post long-form clips of up to an hour. According to the Wall Street Journal, the users will soon be able to post long length videos on Instagram.The new feature "will focus on vertical video" which means all of the videos will in the vertical orientation and UHD 4K resolution.
According to social media sources, the videos on the author's profile on Instagram will display from the Stories Highlights bubbles which will make it easy for users to find content. Presently, Instagram stories are restricted to a length of 15 seconds and the videos in the main feed can run up to 60 seconds.
Instagram has started copying the features from other apps since Facebook has acquired the app. The social media giant bought Instagram when it was 2 years old. Two years back, the app copied Snapchat in which it launched stories feature.
Stories is a Snapchatty-feature that allows the user to post videos and photos in 24-hour format. Now, it is copying YouTube. This will bring the company in line with the parent company, Facebook, and YouTube.
Under the proposed plan, Instagram's new feature will see content with video length of up to 20 minutes. This will also allow publishers to post video ads on the platform. Moreover, viewers will get a 'continue watching' option so that they can prolong video viewing sessions.
It seems like the app is in a direct competition with all the other apps including its parent company, Facebook. The photo-sharing app has over 800 million users and currently, comes with features like Archie posts, Save posts for later, selfie stickers, Instagram Direct, etc.

Relevant quote
We wanted to communicate to Portlanders that these are their venues, so the apostrophe infused a sense of ownership while the "5" calls out their full family of venues. It's a concise, perfect way to pack that big idea right into their name. […] We decided that the most powerful way to visually represent the diversity and performances within each venue would be through a modular system of spotlights. We built the initial letter of each venue with an overlapping series of spotlights, which brought a sense of energy and beautiful color shifts between the layers. Each logo's colors are a nod to the venue they represent: for example, an elegant gold palette for the Schnitzer, and a plush blue for the Newmark that alludes to their blue velvet theater seats.

Images (opinion after)
It's a nice family of logos even if at times the monogram letterforms feel too forced to conform to 90- and 45-degree angles. The typeface choice — Priori, I think — gives them all a groovy contemporary look.
Thanks to Scot Olsen-Morales for the tip.

smile with a beauty. a strange inflamed burden of desire.
but this is a passion. a heart filled with hope.
Buddhist contemplation. evening declaration. a resting from fire. at peace with the silence.
the cold air flows in & the spirit's engaged.
escape from the madness, no fury enraged.
in the cave where i think, the thoughts fly away
& the calmness surrounds me & i've nothing to say.
no talk of her beauty, of her innocent face, no aim to escape, no mental race
in the winds of tomorrow my dreams will begin, as the hours of today narrow & thin
i watch you my friend & i watch you my girl, & i know of the pain that subsumes your world,
letters i leave & prayers i now send, for the anguish you carry to come to an end.
rest now beside me & with a soft recline, breathe in with me & ignore human time.
a night full of dreams & a day full of work, let go of the meaning, let go of the hurt.
once more with a kiss, once more full of hope, with a deep loving breath, know that you'll cope.
love has just been.

Near-record numbers
Despite climbing temperatures in April, our nightly shelter volume went up. We housed an average of 291 men and women every night, which was close to our record high of 293 people per night. Some of this influx is due to the closing of a nearby Salvation Army facility. Our volunteers welcomed the additional guests and were able to provide manicure night for the women and a concert for the men.
Over 500 meals per day
Samaritan's Kitchen set a food recovery record for the month, rescuing over 3,600 pounds of food received from partners such as The Broadmoor and Pikes Peak Community College. The kitchen served over 15,800 meals in the month, averaging over 500 per day.
A dozen local agencies
The Resource Center broke records once again with more than 1,000 one-to-one connections between guests and client navigators for case management. 14 local agencies have partnered with the Mission to create a true community of care in our Resource Center. Over 1,600 showers were taken, and nearly 1,100 loads of laundry were washed during the month of April. Additionally, five guests received housing vouchers for permanent housing during the month.
Restoring lives
Three men graduated from our men's New Life Program in April, bringing our total to 19 since July 2017! Allthree found employment, transportation, and housing before graduating. Our Work Readiness initiative has 34 residents enrolled in four different career tracks: Food Services/Culinary Arts, Facilities, Warehouse/Customer Service, and Transportation. We were also able to provide residents with a much-needed fun day at the Denver Museum of Science. Mission Inn, our sober living facility, continues to stay full. A recent vacancy was immediately filled with a recent graduate of the program.
Preparing for employment
The Work Engagement initiative continues to develop. Shelter guests who have full-time or part-time jobs are rewarded with various benefits around campus, including a stable shelter bed and a preferred breakfast meal slot. At the end of April, 55 men and women staying in our shelters are working somewhere in the community for an average of 31 hours per week. An additional 30 shelter guests are cleaning and maintaining our campus with daily work-style activities, which will help to prepare them for job searches and placement.
Furniture for families
Our Supportive Family Services program assisted nearly 650 families throughout the month. Over 1,000 food boxes were provided as well as 4,000 pounds of clothing. 16 furniture deliveries were provided for families in need. During the month of April our Homeless Outreach Team also made seven trips to local parks to make connections with potential guests, handing out bottles of water and information about Springs Rescue Mission to people struggling with homelessness.
Celebrating Easter
Our chaplain held an Easter service for 20 homeless guests. Communion was served and prayer was offered. A local realtor spoke at a different service and shared her story of her journey out of homelessness. It was a moving and encouraging testimony!
As we celebrate the lives restored on our campus every month, we never forget that none of this is possible without caring neighbors like you. And if you're not part of our family of donors and volunteers yet, we invite you to join us today!

[2] According to the new Federal State Statistics Service Methodology, based on System of National Accounts - 2008.
[3] The font color marks the main adjustments to earlier forecasts.
[4] Physical volume growth index corrected by the investment deflator.
Social and economic statistics for January-July, 2016, show that the recession has not ended de facto. Current growth rates of the most important flows, being seasonally adjusted[5], remain negative (see Figure 1). The last five months saw mining, manufacturing, construction and other basic sectors showing a decline. A dramatic increase in physical volumes of oil and coal production late in 2015 could have supported related industries and the economy as a whole for a while, but in general a long-term raw-material extraction growth trend looks hardly sustainable.
[5] Monthly increments are taken from the seasonally adjusted series of index levels, the method X12-ARIMA adjusted for calendar effect.
"Flexible" indicators (exchange rate, prices, imports) quickly adjusted to new conditions, while "hard" ones (consumer spending, employment, the budget) smoothen adaptation, but increase its time lapse.
The commodity price shock seen in 2014-2015 still directly impacts the Russian economy, although the "first wave" of adjustment is completed. "Flexible" indicators (exchange rate, imports, consumer prices) have generally come into equilibrium with the new balance of payments structure by mid-late 2015. They served as main transmission channels and shock absorbers for "harder" intrinsic indicators.
Read more about the effect of an interest rate cut in an ACRA research published July 5, 2016, and titled "Lowering interest rates to provide modest impetus to consumer lending".
Read more about consumer demand adjustment in an ACRA research published June 6, 2016, and titled "Consumption: absence of growth to be offset by quality change".
The "second wave" of economic adaptation came in the form of "harder" indicators adjustment (consumer spending, employment, the budget). It manifests itself as damped self-sustained oscillations in internal demand, with declining real expenditures of economic agents in one category leading to an income fall in the other forcing the latter to reduce consumption and, consequently, making the former face a further income drop.
The longevity of the "second wave" arises from economic agents' aspirations and ability to smoothen expenditures and consumption relative to income dynamics. This trend may well be exemplified by the government – its ability to cover a sudden budget deficit by debt or reserves allows to stretch real spending cuts for several years. On the other hand, individuals that hold credit cards may afford maintaining for some time the level of consumption similar to the one they enjoyed earlier, when their real income was higher. Opportunities related to delayed spending cuts offer support to incomes of other economic agents. Al in all, the adjustment of domestic demand to the new environment gets strongly stretched in time (see Figure 3), which distinguishes the current recession from, for example, the one seen in 1998.
The structure of employment as one of the "hard" indicators adjusts to new conditions with a big lag. A deferred unemployment increase is possible in 2017-2018
Although the labor market seemingly lacks flexibility, its intersectoral labor force flows provide for unemployment remaining low. Reduction of employment in manufacturing, construction and electricity is being compensated by its growth in trade and services sectors. Thus, the structure of employment in the private sector adjusts to the new conditions relatively fast, although the observed flows may not be as productive as it seems. Over the past year, despite employment growth, these sectors saw no activity growth to say the least (in fact trade lost 10%, while services showed a 2% decline). Recipient industries suffer from declining labor productivity.
The situation on the labor market shows that fiscal consolidation will have a delayed negative impact on domestic demand. About 35% of household income that directly depends on economic or redistributive activities of the state is likely to decline in real terms throughout the entire adjustment period of real state expenditures, i. e. probably until 2018-2019. In the public sector, wages are more flexible than employment in the short term, but in the medium term, the lagging indexation of wages in the public sector, which is observed even now (see Figure 4), will create prerequisites here for employment waning.
Labor force "buffering" to the non-growing trade and services sectors, coupled with public sector contraction, can cause a deferred rise in unemployment.

Dental Consultation
Knowing the extent of dental services needed helps men and women budget for the expense accordingly. That's why it pays to have a dental consultation done prior to scheduling any dental services. At Family 1st Dental, our patients get to meet with our dentists before any work is done.
This allows them to become acquainted with our office and dental professionals. It helps break the ice and allows the dentists to see how extensive the work will be in the patient's mouth. Knowing how many treatments are necessary to remedy the problem is important as it prepares men, women, and children for what is yet to come in regard to dental work.
We Get to Know Our Patients and Their Needs
A dental consultation is a service that many dentists provide. It's a standard way to meet with patients, get to know which types of services they require and come up with a plan to treat problems quickly and effectively. Even if a patient needs to be seen regularly by the dentist, they want to know what to expect which is why a consultation is ideal.
Our Patients Get to Know Us by Asking the Right Questions
Patients should prepare their list of questions in advance so they're able to ask the dentist everything they need to during the meeting. Some things that may be of interest to men and women is how long the dentist has been in practice, where he or she received their schooling, the types of accreditation they have, what they do differently than other dentists, and whether they offer payment plans or accept certain types of insurance. Knowing what to expect from our dentists and dental office helps our patients prepare mentally and physically for whatever dental work they need.
We Educate and Empower Our Patients with Knowledge
Education is a big part of the consultation process. By empowering our patients with knowledge, we're able to accomplish many things. First, we help them maintain good oral health and hygiene by avoiding bad habits.
Next, we establish trust by sharing our expertise with patients. Knowing what to do in any situation involving a person's mouth, teeth, and gums are crucial in our industry. Demonstrating skill in this area build our patients' confidence in us and our abilities to solve their dental issues once and for all.
A Consultation Allows Our Patients to Get Their Questions Answered Quickly
A dental consultation allows men and women to meet with our dentists to get an idea of how they work, how much a particular service cost, and what to do to prepare for a treatment or surgery. Having access to a dental professional prior to the date of an appointment is a luxury that many patients aren't given when they go to other dentists for services.
Patients wanting to take advantage of our consultation services can call and set up an appointment. That way, they'll be ready to meet with our dentists when the time is right. They'll get the answers that they need to schedule additional dental work in the future.

I have glibc-debuginfo-2.8-3.i686 and glibc-2.8-3.i686 installed. I ran the
command "debuginfo-install `rpm -qa`" so I could be guaranteed of producing
useful stack traces in the event of a program crash. This process downloads
over 700 packages, and then fails with the below errors. It seems like
debuginfo-install should be able to figure out which architecture is needed;
isn't that important for debugging?
Traceback (most recent call last):

This is with yum-utils-1.1.14-4.fc9.noarch
Now with yum-utils-1.1.19-1.fc11.noarch:

This is a 64-bit machine, but doesn't it need to be able to install the 32-bit debuginfo packages in parallel?
Fedora doesn't ship multilib. debuginfo, so there's nolthing yum can do.
Is the first bug in this BZ still unfixed?
The conflict problem is fixed; "debuginfo-install `rpm -qa`" works in current Rawhide.
So, if there is a crash in a 32-bit program, will it be undiagnosable due to lack of debugging symbols? I suppose all of the Fedora code is available in 64 bits; the only stuff I have installed 32-bit is Adobe Acrobat and Flash.
I also get a ton of warnings from "debuginfo-install `rpm -qa`" for noarch packages; should I just ignore them, or should debuginfo-install handle them more gracefully?
Yeh, and in theory you can create a secdon debuginfo repo. pointing to the 32 one ... although probably noone tests how well that works.
Instead of warnings what would you like, no warning? Even though you've asked it to do something it can't?
You can also do either of:
debuginfo-install \*
debuginfo-install \*.x86_64
keeping the warnings makes sense to me.
At the very least so someone who intentionally does:
debuginfo-install yum
can understand a little bit why it did nothing.
OK, sounds like the best we can do for now, other than documenting that this is normal. I've filed that request under bug 480385. Thanks for your advice!

While we have previously writtenon this reality the trend continues as these identified troubled children,either ends up in jail or in the grave. Government intervenes in curbingthis troublesome trend throughHuman Services personnel posted inevery town across the country In the San Ignacio/Santa Elena scenario,however this intervention is either weak at best or nonexistent at worst,it is way off track as those chargedwith this important responsibilityeither do not understand theirrole, lack the capacity to effectivelyaddress the situation or theirperformance is simply not beingevaluated by those charged withsupervising and evaluating them. In this community several years ago we identified at least five such minorscommitting crimes. These minors arenow of age and are either in jail or inthe grave. The two most recent ones,clients of the local Human Services,were recently gunned down in frontof a Chinese shop as they attemptedto rob the establishment. Another one of these minors, now of age, wasrecently acquitted, with an accom-plice, of the brutal murder of Michael and Dona Hill While the accomplice is now free, this minor then, who isnow of age, remains in jail servingtime for the brutal beating and attemptmurder of his girlfriend. While we have brought it to thisof ficer Â' s attention, we continue to witness that this individual is moreinterested in ensuring that the names and photographs of these minorsare not published in the newspaperinstead of seeking employment oreducational opportunities for these atrisk minors in the absence of whichthey continue down that troubled pathof crime or death. The time has come for HumanServices to seriously evaluate theperformance of its personnel in thiswestern municipality as these youngboys, and indeed our community continues to yearn for meaningfulintervention from competent publicofficers.

E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com W ash, V accum, Armoral & Engine W ash As W ell As Pr essur e W ashing Outside of Houses Dear Editor: I was so pleased to see yourfront page story revealing the truemotivation of the "constitutional" marches calling for withdrawal of therevised Gender Policy written by theBelize National W omen' s Commission. The Belize Action or ganizers of these marches have duplicitouslydenied the anti-homosexuality pur-poses of the march repeatedly andloudly In fact, their sole (at least originally) dispute with the Gender Policyis the following section: "Respect for Diversity: Men and women in Belize are not ahomogeneous group. Rather the population is comprised of persons of all ageswho come from diverse races,cultures, ethnicities, faiths,sexual orientations, socio-eco-nomic situations and behaviourallifestyles. All policies and programmes must therefore reflectthis reality of diversity among theBelizean populace." And that small section of the 52 page document is only objectionableto them for the inclusion of "sexual orientations" and "behavioral lifestyles," because they recognize in an official way that homosexuals exist in Belize. Whatever one thinksabout the morality and propriety ofhomosexuality few Belizeans would deny that homosexuals indeed form apart of the broad diversity of Belizeansociety These Belize Action leaders, yoked to their Dominionist agenda toestablish control over the totality ofBelizean society by their "brand" of Christian belief, want to denyBelizean LGBT citizens the right tobe included in any description ofBelize, to be excluded from the grandfundamental rights guaranteed by theConstitution of Belize, indeed todemand that they be entirely invisibleto the culture and laws. It is but asmall step to move from this demandto one that LGBT citizens cease toexist. These mendacious leaders evenpublicized an early draft of theGender Policy knowing that it had been superseded by a later edition,because the earlier one had moreitems to which they could object withimpunity refusing for some time to post on their publicity pages links tothe actual draft. One cannot blamethe marchers; they are dazzled by theBelize Action leaders' appeal to Jesus and the Father and they endorse the balance of the agenda much as wetechnical types click "accept" to software "terms of usage" withoutreading any of them, let alone the fineprint. Y our front page piece, along with your report of Senator Alamilla' s concern about the effects of suchactions as the marches, does aservice first to the nation of Belize,second to the women of Belize, andfinally to the LGBT citizens of Belize.All Belizeans should be askingthemselves, "What is next after all of this struggle and strife? Howwill we all live together in mutual tolerance and peace and respect?" It takes reporting like yours toassist your readers in arriving atthoughtful, legal, constitutional, anddecent answers to that question. Y ou are to be applauded for that, andBelize is to be warned that theircountry is being quietly attacked onall levels by people who want to takeover in the name of a DominionistGod.Contributed by: Asa DeMatteo San Francisco CA EDEN SDA HIGH SCHOOL Eden Drive, Santa Elena T own, Cayo District T el: 824-2966 / Fax: 824-4479 Applications are invited from suitable qualified individuals to fill the following vacancies: EDEN SDA HIGH SCHOOL 1 English teacher (T emporary: September to November 2013) 1 Biology/ Physics teacher (T emporary: September to November 2013) 1 Math/ Chemistr y teacher (T emporary: September to November 2013) 1 Agricultur e Science teacher (Full T ime) 1 Spanish teacher (Full T ime) 1 Bible teacher (Full T ime) 1 Receptionist/ Secretary (license not needed) Qualifications for the teaching positions: Preferably a Bachelor Degree inEducation or in the subject area.

I was/am very proud to be Belizeanespecially seeing all the support andpartriotism of the Belizeans fans thatattended the Gold Cup games tosupport their team. Hearing ournational anthem so loud and clear gaveme goose bumps as I watched thegames on television. Even though theoutcome was not as I'd hoped andprayed for those players on the teamdeserves much respect and love fromour fellow countrymen. As to the FFB I only wished that they would have gone the extra mileto "A T LEAST" place the names of the players on their jerseys. All the other participating teams had names on their jerseys; why did we fall shortthere? I think our down fall startedwhen Coach Sherrier left suddenly then Asst. Coach Slusher being fired the day before they left to the US, andfinally the issue with the playerscontract. How we start is how we'llfinish.

Prosecutor Javier Caraballo accused the 35 crew members ofendangering public security by illegallytransporting war material. The charges came just hours afterNorth Korea urged Panama torelease the ship and its crew withoutdelay Police found the weapons underbags of sugar Cuba has said it had sent the weapons to North Korea forrepairs. 'Hidden load' Panama has asked the UN toinvestigate whether there has been abreach of the sanctions against NorthKorea. The UN sanctions prohibit thesupply of arms to Pyongyang in thedispute over its controversial nuclearprogramme. "According to its declaration, the ship only carried 10,000 tonnessugar it never declared war material and that in itself is aviolation of the rules and a gravedanger for the transit through thePanama canal," Mr Caraballo said. He said the crew had remainedsilent when the charges against themwere brought. They will remain in detention whilePanamanian security forces continueto unload the cargo under which theweapons were hidden. Panama's Security Minister Jose Raul Mulino said the ship and its cargo had broken Panamanian andinternational law "This is not an official or military ship belonging to theNorth Korean government." "It's a commercial ship which wanted to pass through thePanama canal with a [cargo]declaration which failed to reflectwhat it was carrying, turning ablind eye to the fact that itscargo could be violating UNresolutions," he said. According to the security minister the search could take days. "This ship was loaded in a way to make it hard to unload; the ef-fort is enormous," he said. On W ednesday North Korea asked Panama to release the ship. "This cargo is nothing but ageing weapons which are to besent back to Cuba after overhaul-ing them according to a legitimatecontract," the North's foreign ministry was quoted as saying by thestate-run Central News Agency Cuba had earlier admitted beingbehind the stash of weapons found onboard the ship. It said they wereSoviet-era arms from Cuba headedfor repair in North Korea. The Cuban foreign ministry said theChong Chon Gang was carrying 240 tonnes of "obsolete" defensive weapons two anti-aircraft missilecomplexes, nine missiles in parts andspares, two MiG-21bis fighter planesand 15 MiG engines. Havana also reaffirmed its commit-ment to "peace, disarmament, including nuclear disarmament,and respect for international law". The Chong Chon Gang left Russia'sfar east on 12 April and travelled across the Pacific Ocean beforeentering the canal at the start of June,with Cuba as its stated destination. It was stopped near Manzanillo onthe Atlantic side of the canal last week, but Panama only releaseddetails of the find on T uesday The ship disappeared from satellitetracking systems after it left theCaribbean side of the canal, resurfac-ing on 1 1 July Experts say this may indicate thatthe crew switched off the systemwhich automatically communicatesdetails of their location. Panama says it is awaiting the ar-rival of experts from the UnitedNations Security Council to inspectthe weapons.

Hecalled up a veterinarian friend whotold him to bring in his cow The vet took one look at the cow stuck a tube up the cow's butt, andblew into the tube until the cow's eyesstraightened out. The vet charged thefarmer a hundred bucks, and thefarmer went home happy About a week later the cow's eyes were cross-eyed again, butthis time the farmer figured he couldprobably take care of it himself. So he called his worker over and together they put a tube up the cow'sbutt. The farmer put his lips to the tubeand started to blow S trangely nothing happened, so he asked theworker hand to give it a try The worker pulled out the tube, turned itaround, put the other end in the cow'sbutt and started to blow "What are you doing?" asked the farmer horrified. "W ell, I wasn't gonna use the side that YOU had put your lips on." You Asked For It A man runs into the vet' s of fice carrying his dog, screaming for help.The vet rushes him back to anexamination room and has him put hisdog down on the examination table. The vet examines the still, limp bodyand after a few moments, tells the manthat his dog, regrettably is dead. The man, clearly agitated and not willingto accept this, demands a secondopinion. The vet goes into the back roomand comes out with a cat and putsthe cat down next to the dog' s body The cat snif fs the body walks from head to tail, poking and sniffing thedog' s body and finally looks at the vet and meows. The vet looks at the man and says, " I'm sorr y but the cat thinks that you're dog is dead, too." The man is still unwilling to accept that his dogis dead. So the vet brings in a blackLabrador retriever The lab snif fs the body walks from head to tail, and finally looks at the vet and barks. The vet looks at the man and says, " I'm sorr y but the lab thinks your dog is dead too." The man, finally resigned to thediagnosis, thanks the vet and askshow much he owes. The vet answers, "$650." "$650 to tell me my dog is dead?" exclaims the man. "W ell," the vet r eplies, "I would only have charged you $50 for myinitial diagnosis. The additional$600 was for the cat scan and labtests.

So, up until recently according to author Daniel Pink, we have been living in the Information Age. To succeed we needed linear, logical, and analytical skills – we needed to use the left side of our brain. In his book A Whole New Mind, Pink tells us we are now moving toward, or are already participating in the Conceptual Age. As he describes it, this is a new global economy that uses skills lodged in the long overlooked right side of our brain. These skills include: creativity, empathy, intuition, and the ability to link seemingly unrelated objects and events into something new and different.
Pink states that in the United States the Agricultural Age (farmers) gave way to the Industrial Age (factory workers), which was then overtaken by the Information Age (knowledge workers). He contends that each of these shifts was caused by the same three factors: (1) affluence, (2) technology, and (3) globalization. And, he states that we are now passing into the Conceptual Age (creators and emphathizers) and again these same three factors (otherwise known as abundance, automation, and Asia are in play.
To succeed in this new age, Pink asserts there are six essential right-brained aptitudes that will be necessary:
- Design – Moving beyond function to engage the senses.
- Story – Narrative added to products and services, not just argument.
- Symphony – Adding invention and big picture thinking, not merely detailed focus.
- Empathy – Going beyond logic and engaging emotions and intuition.
- Play - Bringing humor and light-heartedness to business and products.
- Meaning – Immaterial feelings and values of products.
As evidence that the world is entering the Conceptual Age, Pink points out what we probably already know, but have not quite yet accepted: rote tasks as well as complex technical jobs, are being increasingly outsourced to workers overseas who will work for much cheaper wages; computers can now perform most left-brained tasks; and consumers who have a wide variety of choice in products won't settle anymore for something that is only functional and economical – they also want products that are distinctive and beautiful.
In A Whole New Mind, Pink provides an abundance of evidence to support his premise that "right-brained and holistic skills will mark the difference between success and failure in the global business world today and in the foreseeable future."
This was an easy book to read, but feel that the new ideas and concepts the author outlined will not be so easy for some people to accept. However, when I look around me and see all the changes taking place in the business world today, I can't help but believe Mr. Pink is onto something.
Read the book and let me know what you think.

100 Most Influential Filipinos in the Gulf: Brand Champions
Behind some of the most prominent brands in the country and the region are formidable Filipinos who lead in the fields of marketing, communications, public relations and events. Here they share their branding hopes for the Philippines.
Rosemarie Tacorda
Rosemarie Tacorda has always wanted to create, contribute and collaborate. So being in the world of communications, where she had the privilege of working with some of most prestigious hospitality brands in the region including the Burj Al Arab, the Address Downtown Dubai, Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, Intercon Hotel Group, and now the Palazzo Versace in Dubai where she is Director of Marketing and Communications, is just like being in her natural habitat. Her work allows her to express her ideas and creativity and bring them to life.
Applying her keen marketing mind, in combination with her hopes of the Philippines and the Filipino people, Rosemarie shares, "I dream that one day, sooner if possible, that we become the greatest country in Asia as we once were." She adds, "It has to start with our mindset. We have to think quality thoughts. We have to regard ourselves as 'able,' 'capable' 'determined' and not victims of politics or other previous regimes that made the economy worse. As cliché as it sounds, it's true. The past is the past, and there is nothing we can do about the past. Each one of us can only influence the future. So if we think we can make the Philippines better, we can. It starts with every one of us. Let's make ourselves better individuals. Our collective success will have a ripple effect."
Danelle Ruth Palang
Danelle Ruth Palang has been the driving force of Marketing and Communications for the Dusit Thani Hotel in Dubai for over four years now. As marcomms director, she is thrilled with the launch of the hotel's newest outlet @ViewbyDusit – a terrace lounge which had guests on waitlist right after its opening. She says being able to transform a mere parking lot, into another potential Dubai hotspot, has taught her the possibility of creating something great out of nothing.
A very spiritual person, she believes that her success comes from dedication, discernment, charm, and favor from above. For the Philippines, her dreams are also transcendent. She shares, "I hope for unity in diversity. Imagine if we just embrace our differences and uplift each other's efforts and ingenuities even just by saying a kind word or giving a nod of support – that brand will outclass any campaigns in the world."
Danelle says that all Filipinos are brand ambassadors of the nation. "Each one of us is our nation's flag carrier. If we carry ourselves with pride and an unceasing desire to raise the bar; if we think first of what we can give rather than what we can benefit from; if we trust and rely on each other to make a consistently stronger brand, then the possibilities are endless."
Cleo Eleazar
Cleo Eleazar is proud to be a part of one of the most aggressively growing business initiatives in the UAE. As Senior Manager for Public Relations & Events seeing the successful launch in April 2017 of RAK Economic Zone (RAKEZ) – the consolidation of two fast-growing free zones in the emirate has been quite a feat.
Having played a pivotal role in the communications for Ras Al Khaimah Free Trade Zone since 2008, Cleo professes that hard work, resourcefulness; sociability, flexibility, and the ability to face adversity are the elements that allowed her to rise to the top of her game. "I have been beaten to the ground, but I rose because of persistence," she says. "I understand that things don't always go my way, but I keep moving forward by adapting to circumstances."
This vision also applies to her brand of the Philippines. "When we work harder on how we present our country and its people, it's all going to change," she says. "We'll have more tourists and people from all around the world will come to know about the world's treasure that is the Philippines."
Serving the Country: Ian Borromeo
Working with a PR agency that represents the different tourism boards of popular international destinations like the USA, Slovenia, Thailand, Kyoto Japan, and Spain, among a host of others, is a privilege for Ian Borromeo. But what he is most proud of, is being able to handle communications for the Philippine Department of Tourism through AVIAREPS. "To serve my country, to deliberately remove the negative stereotypes of potential visitors, to show them that the Philippines can be at par with the world's top destinations when it comes to infrastructure, technology, hospitality, science, engineering, history, culture and natural resources is an exhilarating experience," he says.
On his hopes for the motherland, he articulates: "My dream is not only to defy the norm but to rewrite our story. And in that new narrative, we are unaware of crab mentality, and incognizant of self-centeredness. We embrace change and welcome challenges with arms wide open, and we can walk side by side with the first class world."
