"I do think Lenny was deceptively smart in a lot of ways"
We've covered the tabloidy aspects of Lenny Dykstra's plummet from grace pretty thoroughly. Now, then, it seems like a good time to link to a story that covers that fall in a more thorough fashion. It's by Harvey Araton in The New York Times and it's pretty good.
The quote from the headline comes from a guy who tries to explain that Dykstra's post-retirement career as a stock-picker was no sham. Sadly, however, it's belied by everything we've learned about Dykstra in the past few years, this article included. He basically ripped off another stock analyst's picks and charged people a thousand bucks a year for a subscription to such "insights."
Oh, and his current Twitter account is a quasi-fraud too. In jail, Dykstra can't really run it, so there's a 26-year-old kid from Philly who runs the thing, tweeting mildly-inspirational hokum and asking for money for Dykstra's legal defense. The 26-year-old idolized Nails when he was a boy, naturally.

We continue to make our grand tour of Southeast Arizona. Bisbee is a quaint town that is built into a mountain. From Sierra Vista we had to go through Mule Pass which is the tunnel which brings you from one side of the mountain to the other. I was driving. The tunnel was long but there was plenty of traffic so I was not afraid. I could only imagine what it was like when you had to go over the mountain before the tunnel was built. That would have made me nauseous. In fact, I would have had to pull over so that Donna could drive.
Bisbee started off as a mining town. Two former officers who fought in the Civil War but where trained as geologists saw potential when they saw the minerals in the town. They took their bounty off to California where they received enough money to start a mining operation. Mines were active in this town until 1975. Most towns die when their industry leaves. Not Bisbee. Due to cheap land in a beautiful location the town was reborn as a hippy community. Lots of free spirits and artists moved into town creating a wonderful, thriving location.
We started in the mine. I was concerned that I would get claustrophobic. This happened to me before in Nevada. I couldn't go in due to closing walls. This did not happen this time. I am not sure if it was because of airflow or what. No matter. I was in the mine and enjoying the tour. It was so interesting. You could still see pockets of minerals in the walls.
We also walked around town. Bisbee is built into a hill. Be ready to walk. Some of the sidewalks were the old western type where the sidewalks are built much higher than the street. It is very hilly. We sure got our workout in walking around this town. This is one place I really liked and could see myself setting down. That won't be anytime too soon. We are having too much fun traveling around and exploring the U.S.
Have you ever been to Bisbee? What did you like best?

How do I Choose the Best Chrome Wall Sconces?
Chrome wall sconces can add an attractive accent to any room, and choosing the best chrome wall sconces does not have to be a difficult process. You will need to consider the cost of the units, the materials used to make the sconces, the ease of installation, and the types of lights that can be mounted on the sconces. The process of installing chrome wall sconces can be difficult in some cases, so be sure any units you choose come with clear directions and an installation process that is quick and easy.
Be sure to consider the materials used to make the chrome wall sconces, as more than one material can be coated with chrome. Various metals can be dipped in chrome, as can some plastics. Choose chrome wall sconces made from durable materials that will last a long time with little maintenance. If you plan on mounting the sconces outdoors, or in a room prone to moisture, such as the bathroom, be sure to choose a material that will be resistant to water damage. Stainless steel and aluminum are metals that are resistant to rust and corrosion, and plastics can also resist water damage.
The designs available for chrome wall sconces are nearly endless, so it may be difficult to choose what style you want. Be sure to choose a style that will cast enough light to be functional in the space in which the sconces will be mounted. If the lights will be decorative only, this is not such a big issue, but in places like the bathroom in which lighting is very important, choose the light style and size carefully to ensure maximum functionality. Decide whether you want the bulbs to face upward or downward, or if you want the light to be guided in both directions. This means you will need to consider the room in which the lights will be placed and take note of light patterns as well as shadowy areas.
Any chrome wall sconces you choose should come with the appropriate mounting hardware, regardless of the style, size, or shape of the units. Usually the mounting process is not difficult and only involves driving in some screws, but keep in mind that you may need to cut into the wall to access electrical wires and outlets, adding to the difficulty level of the installation project. It may be wise to hire a professional to do this part of the job.

PCT 2008: Sonora Pass to Virginia Canyon
My second trip for 2008 was a 71 mile hike, southbound on the PCT from Sonora Pass to Return Creek, and then exiting Yosemite NP via the Virginia Lakes trailhead. During this six day journey I was accompanied by Jim Slade and Jim Keogh. On 21 July Lucy drove us from Reno to Sonora Pass and collected us at Virginia Lakes Resort on 26 July.
This section of the PCT is characterized by deep spectacular canyons, crossed one after another ... with the trail moving mostly against the grain of the landscape. Unlike the PCT/JMT sections south of Yosemite NP, the many mountain passes along the trail are below tree line, except within the 15 miles south of Sonora Pass, an area of volcanic sediments rather than the granitic domain of Yosemite. So our first day of travel was dry and dusty, across a barren volcanic landscape, well above the tree line and any sources of water. After 9 miles of this alpine desert, we thankfully descended into the green environment of Kennedy Canyon where we made our first camp.
We'd calculated the trip would require an average travel rate of 13 miles per day ... a plan that was harder than expected because of the vertical lift involved to enter and exit the many canyons along the trail.
Most of our overnight camps were on the canyon floors and therefore warmer than the Sierra average, but the pleasure was diminished by plagues of mosquitoes. One exception was on the shores of Smedberg Lake, a beautiful high elevation lake surrounded by granite slabs and with waters teaming with large trout. Apparently a popular destination for wilderness fisherman despite its remoteness from trailheads, the closest being at least two days hike.
After leaving Smedberg Lake and crossing Benson Pass, we descended the 1800' into Matterhorn Canyon, possibly the most impressive scenic feature of our journey. Of course, we then had to climb out of the canyon, 1000' up to Miller Lake (a hidden gem!), followed by an immediate 1000' descent to the Spiller Creek crossing. Then this longest day became easier after leaving the PCT at Return Creek, turning off on the Virginia Canyon Trail which we then followed northeast for two miles before making our last night's camp. The final day involved a relatively easy 8 mile hike out to the Virginia Lakes Resort.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes
5:22 Raca. The word raca is an Aramaic expression of contempt, something like our English "stupid idiot!" Such an insult to a fellow believer in the Jewish economy might warrant being charged, before the council of the Sanhedrin, with slander.
5:22 Thou fool. This is even a greater insult. The Greek is the word from which we get our English word "moron," but it also conveys an implication of rebellion. For a believer to call a brother a "rebellious moron" would be so out of character as to imply that the one using such language might not even be a true believer.
5:22 hell. "Hell" is gehenna, in the Greek, the place of everlasting fire. Almost certainly it refers to the ultimate lake of fire (Revelation 20:15), not to the great pit in the center of the earth known as hades (this word is also commonly translated "hell"—e.g., Matthew 11:23), where the spirits of the unsaved are confined as they await the final judgment. Note the divine principle implied in this verse of degrees of punishment.

"Oh will you take me as I am, strung out on another man?" Apparently that is exactly how California will take you, Joni. A recent study of 2,000 Americans found the the west coast was the least faithful region in America. Which the New Englander in me feels super smug about, because I still hold irrational pride for a place I haven't lived in for 10 years. In the study by legal site Avvo, 20 percent of people on the West Coast admitted to being unfaithful. That's a lot of people.
I mean, I know five people on the west coast, so I guess it's time I get a little more suspicious. I'm guessing with all of those fit, bronzed bodies and endorphins and yoga bendiness, it's sort of inevitable that there's going to be a lot of sexiness happening, but let's try to keep it all kosher, yeah? Psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula said maybe it isn't the sun and beach at all, but told Yahoo! Health it may have more to do with how many cities there are on the west coast, which means people that have transplanted there. She pointed at L.A., specifically, which "may be more populated by those higher in the trait of openness, which may be more likely to translate into infidelity." That seems a little simplistic to write all of the artsy, hippie types as more likely to cheat, but maybe there's something to it. Here are some other interesting things we learned:
1. The Midwest Is The Most Faithful Area
Out of those surveyed in the Midwest only 10 percent reported being unfaithful, so half as common as those West Coasters. Whether this is due to fewer cities or just a different culture of fidelity, who knows?
2. The South And The Northeast Were Neck And Neck When It Came To Cheating
The South reported 17 percent cheaters and the Northeast reported 16 percent, so they fell right and the middle and very close. But New Hampshire has the state motto "Live Free or Die," which beats everyone and gives them a thousand bonus point, so we win everything forever.
3. Men Were More Likely To Cheat Than Women... Everywhere
The overall number for men was 20 percent, while 13 percent of women admitted they were unfaithful. But according to the Daily Mail the study found "more men than women have cheated on their partner in every U.S. region.
4. Satisfaction In A Relationship Doesn't Translate To Fidelity
Somewhat depressingly, while 95 percent of respondents said they were happy in their relationships, one-sixth were still unfaithful. I think that some people must be lying— I mean 95 percent being happy seems high, right? And the adultery statistics would certainly point to that, but a little worrying nonetheless.

The news that Decode has filed for bankruptcy is a sad milestone in the history of genomics companies. Thus falls either the final or penultimate human gene mapping companies, with everyone else having either disappeared entirely or exited that business. A partial list would include Sequana, Mercator, Myriad, Collaborative Research/Genome Therapeutics, Genaera and (of course) Millennium. I'm sure I'm missing some others. The one possible survivor I can think about is Perlegen, though their website is pretty bare bones, suggesting they have exited as well.
The challenge all of these companies faced, and rarely beat, was how to convert mapping discoveries into a cash stream which could pay for all that mapping. Myriad could be seen as the one success, having generated the controversial BRCA tests from their data, but (I believe) they no longer are actively looking. In new tests are in-licensed from academics.
Most other companies shed their genomics efforts as part of becoming product companies; the real money is in therapeutics. Mapping turned out to be such a weak contributor to that value stream. A major problem is that mapping information rarely led to a clear path to a therapeutic; too many targets nicely validated by genetics were complete head-scratchers as to how to create a therapeutic. Not that folks didn't try; Decode even in-licensed a drug and acquired all the pieces for a full drug development capability.
Of course, perhaps Decode's greatest notoriety came from their deCodeMe DTC genetic testing business. Given the competition & controversy in this field, that was unlikely to save them. The Icelandic financial collapse I think did them some serious damage as well. That's a reminder that companies, regardless of how they are run, sometimes have their fate channeled by events far beyond their control. A similar instance was the loss of Lion's CFO in the 9/11 attacks; he was soliciting investors at the WTC that day. The 9/11 deflation of the stock market definitely crimped a lot of money-losing biotechs plans for further fund raising.
Bankruptcies were once very rare for biotech, but quite a few have been announced recently. The old strategy of selling off the company at fire sale prices seems to be less in style these days; assets are now being sold as part of the bankruptcy proceedings. Apparently, this and perhaps other functions will continue. Bankruptcy in this case is a way of shedding incurred obligations viewed as nuisances; anyone betting on another strategy by buying the stock is out of luck.
Personally, I wish that the genetic database and biobanks which deCode have created could be transferred to an appropriate non-profit such as the Sanger. I doubt much of that data will ever be convertable into cash, particularly at the scale most investors are looking for. But a non-profit could extract the useful information and get it published, which was deCode's forte but I doubt they've mined everything that can be mined.

Sushmita Sridhar has paused her work on a gastroenteritis-causing bacterium to help diagnose the virus that causes COVID-19. She is part of a team at Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge which set up an on-site laboratory to rapidly test healthcare workers for the virus. In a report published last month, they showed that of 1,032 healthcare workers without any symptoms, three per cent tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. Their findings have been helping to inform hospital policy and infection control procedures.
What is your day job at Sanger?
I'm a PhD student working on Salmonella Typhimurium, trying to understand how bacteria respond to antimicrobial stress. Questions I'm investigating include: What do bacteria look like, and how does their behaviour change when they're exposed to antimicrobials, what are their mechanisms of resistance, and what does that mean for appropriate drug use?
Tell us about your COVID-19 work
I'm in Gordon Dougan's group, which was previously based at the Sanger Institute and is now at Addenbrooke's Hospital, Stephen Baker's group at Addenbrooke's, and I'm also in Nick Thomson's group at Sanger. Because we're on the Addenbrooke's Campus, and have a good relationship with the hospital, when the coronavirus became a pandemic my supervisors Steve Baker and Gordon Dougan stepped up and offered our lab. Our lab is intended to be a bridge between research and the hospital, and we have the ability to do RNA extractions from swab samples and run diagnostic q-PCR tests, so the hospital asked us to screen healthcare workers. We optimised and validated an existing in-house method of RNA extractions that wasn't reliant on kits when they were in short supply, and made sure everything could happen at containment level (CL) 2 to make it safer for everyone involved.
We worked very closely with the Public Health England microbiology lab within Addenbrooke's and rapidly set up a diagnostic test, and people from PHE taught us how best to do the test in-house.
Why did you become a scientist?
I think it's really cool to look at the world and ask, "What's happening?" There's so much diversity in organisms, and diversity in what makes them tick. Early on I became fascinated by pathogens – these small organisms that have so much power over us. I wondered how they were able to do so much with such small genomes.
Who is your science hero?
Probably Stanley Falkow – he was one of my professors during my undergraduate degree at Stanford. He inspired me to learn more about microbes and microbiology, and to appreciate bacteria. Sadly, he passed away a couple of years ago.
What is the most exciting development in your field from the last 10 years?
The integration of all sorts of technologies has been really powerful. Everyone talks about genomics and sequencing as a really big thing (and it has been revolutionary), but I think the ability to integrate genomic data with transcriptomic data, with phenotypic data that you've retrieved from a microscope with microbiological assays, and put those together to get a compendium of knowledge, has been really powerful. The umbrella for that is the ability to work with big datasets, and zoom in and out where you need.
What is the most surprising discovery that you have made?
What I find really intriguing, and this is something that needs to be appreciated more in the field, is that bacteria are actually capable of withstanding much higher concentrations of antimicrobials than we give them credit for. You can treat them with four to eight times the minimum inhibitory concentration of an antimicrobial (a concentration beyond which they shouldn't be able to grow), and you'll still get a population that survives. That means we need to be thinking a lot harder in the public health arena about how we treat people with infections, and environmental contamination by antimicrobials.
Another thing I've been trying to unravel in my research is the formation of different subpopulations, within an overall population of bacteria. When you treat bacteria with antimicrobials, you end up getting a pretty heterogeneous mixture of bugs that grow. This isn't ground-breaking, we've known this for a while – but I think what warrants a lot more investigation is the differences between these populations, and the importance of these differences when it comes to survival under drug treatment. It could have implications for how we treat people with bacterial diseases.
If you could time travel to any period in history, which would you pick?
I'd be really interested to visit Europe during the Black Death, just to see how people dealt with disease. If I could go with the knowledge I have and be a spectator, that's what I'd do.
If you were omnipotent for the day, what would you do?
So many things. I think I would put a time limit on how much everyone is able to speak. With how much everything is being politicised right now, we could all benefit from having to listen more. We'd have to appreciate other people's thoughts and pre-meditate on our actions before taking them.
And I'd plant a billion trees.

American Eagle Outfitters is the place you shop for baggy cargo shorts, rugby/polo-style short sleeved shirts or a nice sundress. A nice combination of preppy meets ripped, baggy jeans for the younger set. In 2006, though, someone at AE noticed many young girls didn't want to look so young (or preppy) any more and aerie was born. If you're unfamiliar, aerie is the place 15 year old girls go to buy lingerie so they can seduce 25 year old guys into taking them out on dates.
Coupling that parents' nightmare with the seemingly long-held belief a girl's breasts can never be too big, aerie would like the ladies to meet Drew, a new push up bra that can add two cup sizes and insure they get a "double whoa" when all the boys leer at their suddenly cavernous cleavage.
To tout the launch, aerie is out with a commercial featuring a decidedly cute, subtly sexy, auburn-haired beauty with eye-popping cleavage. And just to make sure the whole thing doesn't travel too far into lustful Victoria's Secret territory, our delectably delicious Drew girl has been surrounded by flowers because, well, somehow all those flowers supposedly scream innocence.

On to the matter at hand, it's been a while since Arsenal's latest last gasp winner. Last Monday, it was Tom Vermaelen with the goal, coming after 94 minutes had already been played. Boy, it's a good thing Tim Krul wasted all that time during the match, otherwise Arsenal would not have had the time for that goal! It's five straight wins in the league, four straight from behind, and three out of four with winners coming in second half injury time. How about a comfortable win, for once?
Arsenal have a string of positive results at Goodison Park; three wins and a draw from their last four trips to Everton. A win today would mean more positive momentum for this team going forward. It would be Arsenal's first six match winning streak in the league since two years ago yesterday. Everton are by no means an easy side to face when they're home; they've beaten the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham at Goodison Park, all over the past two months.
With ten matches to play, obviously every game is crucial. With the ball rolling so well as of late, it feels even more crucial to keep that going.

Since it has been nine days since the last time Arsenal have played a game, it's safe to say this side is probably not going to have too many tired legs. As such, it's hard to imagine Arsene Wenger making any changes to the side that beat Newcastle last Monday. Rest is a wonderful thing at this stage in the season; the only fear is that you can't talk much about form when you haven't played in so long.
The injury list has not changed much either. Abou Diaby played an hour for the reserves yesterday and scored a goal, but also went down injured in the process. He played another ten minutes after the goal/injury to his ankle and seemed to shake it off just fine. We know that Per Mertesacker's Arsenal season is over. He would, at best, just be returning to training by season's end, but would not be match fit in time. The timeline on Jack Wilshere is still anybody's guess; you would think, by now, the team would still be erring on the side of caution with him. Sebastien Squillaci is back in full training (oh, good.) Francis Coquelin was "two weeks away" as of March 15, so next weekend's QPR game may still come too early for him.
Predicted XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, van Persie.

Fixture congestion has led to David Moyes's use of rotation in the squad as of late. Prioritizing the FA Cup and a shot at silverware, Moyes rotated the squad for their Merseyside derby with Liverpool, and the Toffees lost 3-0. With an FA Cup replay coming up next week and a match, of course, at the weekend, you would suspect that if Everton were going to rotate again any time soon, it would be against Swansea on Saturday, and not today. The only change I can see Moyes making from the squad that played Sunderland in the FA Cup this past weekend is the addition of Steven Pienaar, who was cup-tied and unavailable.
There was a great piece you might have heard about on Zonal Marking this week, which has been reproduced on the Guardian, and analyzed in a more Arsenal-centric way by Gingers for Limpar, regarding teams' tendencies to attack more on one side of the pitch than the other. The take-away is that Arsenal attack more from the right and Everton attack more from the left. Suffice it to say that means the biggest match-up to watch in this game is how Bacary Sagna and Theo Walcott combine against Leighton Baines and Steven Pienaar.
Predicted XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Distin, Baines, Fellaini, Osman, Cahill, Drenthe, Pienaar, Jelavic.

Everton are in the middle of a minor hiccup. Since beating Tottenham on March 10, the Toffees have lost their local derby in miserable fashion, 3-0 to Liverpool, then failed to get anything going in a 1-1 FA Cup draw with Sunderland that will take them to a replay. Before the loss to Liverpool, Everton were unbeaten in seven in the league. That list of results gets really confusing when you break it down, though. It includes three wins over Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, and four draws against Aston Villa, Blackburn Rovers, Wigan Athletic, and Queens Park Rangers.
The take-away from that statistic is how Everton handles their opponent by type. The Toffees struggle more against sides that sit back and maintain their shape, as you can see from the 1-1 draw with Sunderland, the teams they've drawn recently, and losses earlier this year against the likes of Stoke. They're a lot like Arsenal notoriously has been, in that respect.
Match Facts
|Arsenal are unbeaten in nine against the
Toffees. Everton's last win came in 2007,
courtesy a late goal from Andrew Johnson.

Last year, Arsenal won both contests by 2-1 scorelines. At Goodison Park in November of 2010, Arsenal led 2-0 through Sagna and Cesc Fabregas goals, then they sat back on their lead, conceded a late goal to Tim Cahill, and hung on to the win for dear life. In February of 2011, Arsenal won 2-1 at the Emirates. Andrei Arshavin and Laurent Koscielny goals canceled out Louis Saha's controversial, possibly offside opening goal that was allowed by Lee Mason, who also happens to be the referee today.
Arsenal have handed Everton some of their heaviest defeats under David Moyes including a 7-0 victory and a 6-1 win at Goodison Park in the season opening game in August of 2009. Five different Arsenal players scored that day, but of them, only Vermaelen remains with the squad. Fabregas had a brace, with other goals coming from Denilson, William Gallas, and Eduardo.
Everton's last win over Arsenal was on March 18, 2007 by a 1-0 scoreline. Andrew Johnson (and not the pictured 17th President of the United States, apparently) had the only goal in injury time.
The Referee
The referee is Lancashire-based Lee Mason. Mason has made a lot of strange calls against Arsenal in the past, including Saha's controversial goal mentioned above. The controversy about that involved the fact that Saha was standing in an offside position when the ball was played, but received it during what was considered a second "phase" of play, solely because Laurent Koscielny attempted (and failed) to block the through ball. Mason's only Arsenal match this season was the win over Stoke at the Emirates in October, though our recap man Sean will tell you (or, I should say, did at the time) that he had a shockingly bad game.
Mason has worked three Everton matches this year: a 1-0 win at Blackburn, which was won on an injury time penalty (by Mikel Arteta,) a 2-1 extra time loss to Chelsea in the Carling Cup (which saw a red card to both sides,) and a 1-0 loss to Stoke at home in December. Those two red cards in the Carling Cup match are the only two reds he has shown this season, in 24 matches.
Around the League
|Get well soon, Fabrice Muamba.

On Saturday, Swansea beat Fulham 3-0 at the Cottage, while Wigan and West Brom played out a 1-1 draw at the DW. On Sunday, Manchester United hit five past ten-man Wolves at Molineux, and Newcastle beat Norwich 1-0. Yesterday, Blackburn beat Sunderland 2-0 at Ewood Park.
Bolton's match with Aston Villa has been postponed, due to Fabrice Muamba's illness. This means Villa will not have played for exactly two weeks when they visit the Emirates on Saturday.
The big games of the round are today, as Manchester City hosts Chelsea in a huge match at Eastlands, Spurs host Stoke at the Lane, and QPR hosts Liverpool in West London.
These are the reverse of the fixtures played the weekend of December 10-11.

Small Business Tips
Small Business Growing Pains and How to Overcome Them
Starting a small business is never easy, but what's often even more challenging is growing that business and meeting surging demand. More often than not entrepreneurs will experience some form of growing pains that need to be resolved in order for their business to meet its full potential. With that in mind, let's take a look a few common pain points that small business owners encounter and how they can overcome them.
As your business grows, it can be difficult to keep up. Suddenly the processes you had in place to manage your day to day activities can be overwhelmed. Often times your organizational tree gets thrown by the wayside in an effort just to keep things rolling. Unfortunately, as your efficiencies fall apart, you could be making crucial mistakes that could not only be cutting into your profits but also potentially jeopardize your trajectory.
The first step in preventing this from happening to you is ensuring that your processes — from manufacturing and assembling to stocking and selling — are scalable. This will allow you to keep the wheels of your business turning regardless of quantity. For example, if you're working with outside manufacturers and suppliers, it's also important to know what their capacity is ahead of time. That way, when you come close to topping out at one facility, you can make arrangements to increase production elsewhere without missing a beat. Meanwhile, back at home base, make sure your inventory is organized so you know what's selling and when it's time to reorder.
Of course there's always room for change and improvement so, as your business does pick up, you may want to consider ideas that might further your efficiency. In some cases they may even mean bringing your production in-house. While this is a major investment on your part, it will likely give you better control of the process and provide you the opportunity to increase your margins.
Building a great team to help run your business can be a challenge. This is doubly true when you're trying to grow your core team to meet the demands of business. Beyond the salary constraints that may be an issue for many small business and startups, there's also the issues of chemistry and collaboration to contend with when bringing new people on board.
First, a word on salary. Even for a business that's growing, there may not be much room in the budget to spend on extra payroll. Thus many entrepreneurs need to be a bit creative when it comes to enticing candidates. From the types of lifestyle perks you offer to more traditional benefits (e.g. insurance, 401k, etc.) and perhaps even equity/profit sharing, there are many options you can examine for compensating your employees and retaining strong talent.
As for chemistry, it is important to consider the type of culture you want to maintain at your company and do your best to preserve it. This starts with developing a mission statement for your business — something that will motivate you and your team as well as align your values. From there, it's a matter of interviewing candidates and finding the right mix of skills and personality.
Finally, one of the top growing pains that businesses encounter is a lack of capital. This isn't to say that your company is at risk of going under if it doesn't secure a loan or line of credit, but that you could be passing up a major growth opportunity if you can't secure some extra funds. Thankfully, this is one issue what's gotten easier to rectify in recent years.
These days there are plenty of options for raising capital. In addition old standbys like SBA loans there are several online lenders offering installment loans and lines of credit. Alternatively you may consider taking on an outside investor whether via equity crowdfunding or a more traditional route. However, like with hiring new employees, you'll want to make sure your would-be partner is a good fit for your business and discuss what role (if any) they will play in the day-to-day operations ahead of time.
Growing pains are a normal part of running a successful small business. That said, these challenges are something that need to be considered ahead of time in order to resolve them as quickly as possible when they do arise. Whether your business is struggling to meet its peak efficiency, could use a few new team members, or is in need of some extra capital, following these tips will help you work through your growing pains and move on to bigger and better things.

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' CG Reboot In The Works From Nickelodeon & Seth Rogen's Point Grey Pictures
The wildly beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are making their way back to the big screen. As first reported by Deadline, Nickelodeon will partner with Seth Rogen's Point Grey Pictures for an all-new CG reboot film featuring the iconic team of turtles.
Seth Rogen and his longtime collaborators Evan Goldberg and James Weaver will produce the upcoming feature. Additionally, Gravity Falls director Jeff Rowe will helm the picture with a script penned by Brendan O'Brian (Neighbors: Sorority Rising). Paramount will once again distribute the film for worldwide theatrical release. Moreover, unlike its recent big-screen predecessors, the film will be all CG with no live-action elements.
The new film immediately follows news that CBS All Access is developing a live-action series that takes inspiration from The Last Ronin, which is an upcoming five-part comic series to be published by IDW Publishing. The two projects are separate but will return the famous turtles to the forefront on both TV and in cinemas.

Migration News
To Marines, bridge is like 'big Lego set'
December 19, 2004
AS SINDIYAH, Iraq — For a few Marines, the weapons of choice are sledgehammers, wrenches and elbow grease — lots of elbow grease.
They are the Marines of Bridge Company A, part of the 8th Engineer Support Battalion, and their singular status in the Corps makes up for a lot of sore muscles and aching backs.
"That is the best part about it," said Lance Cpl. Aaron Allen. "We are the only active-duty bridge company in the Marine Corps. That is a lot of motivation."
The Corps has two bridge companies in the reserves. They've been to Iraq and served six-month tours. Combat Marines typically spend seven months in Iraq. Bridge Company A came for 12 months.
They have built bridges, or taken them out, across Iraq for more than 10 months, about 25 or 30 of them, sometimes traveling hours from their home at Logistics Support Area Anaconda, 40 miles north of Baghdad.
When they do that, they work around-the-clock in 12-hour shifts until the job is complete.
The bridge they are building now on the Tigris River, near the village of As Sindiyah, is not far from Anaconda, so they can spend their nights on base.
This is their toughest bridge to date: a Mabey-Johnson bridge put together in sections and then assembled on the river. It's the first floating bridge the company has built in Iraq.
"It's like a big Lego set to us," said Staff Sgt. Marcellus Pickering.
For more than a year, a simple assault bridge has shouldered the heavy traffic load.
"This bridge is not meant for what it's doing," Pickering said, motioning toward the assault bridge that heaved and rolled each time a truck crossed.
The current bridge can support only one vehicle at a time, so convoys must stop on both sides of the river to cross, creating stationary targets.
When the Marines finish the new 340-meter bridge, convoys will be able to cross without stopping. They began work on it in November, and its expected completion date has not been announced due to security reasons.
While not exactly complaining, the bridge-building Marines don't cheer every time they have to create something to cross a river.
"I don't like building bridges," said Cpl. Landon Genard, who is not alone in his sentiments.
No one seemed overjoyed by fastening 700-pound galvanized steel sections together with a 1,000-pound transom beam, driving in metal pins the size of a forearm with sledgehammers and twisting giant nuts and bolts to hold everything together.
"That galvanized steel is frickin' heavy," said Lance Cpl. Eric Laird, who has been with the company since he enlisted two years ago.
When a crane brought a section of the bridge to the Marines, they manhandled it into place.
"It's like a big puzzle you've got to put together," said Cpl. Philip Maxfield. "Nothing goes together perfectly. You've got to wiggle it."
Once it had been wiggled into place, the pounding started. Sledgehammers slammed into steel, then again, until the pin slipped into place.
The best job in the company might be piloting one of the bridge erection boats, or BEBs. Each has two 250-horsepower engines that operate independently, allowing it to maneuver on the water much like a tracked vehicle does on land.
"This is the only boat that can rotate on its own axis," said Lance Cpl. Brian Harvey. "You can sit in one spot and spin."
The boats push the floating sections into place so they can be fastened together. When one completed section broke away from a mooring recently, the boat's pilots raced to their boats like firemen responding to a call. They roared into the river and caught up with the fugitive piece of bridge, gently shoving it back to shore.
The bridge at As Sindiyah is a multi-service effort. Air Force engineers designed the abutments and the roadway leading to the bridge on each side. Soldiers from the 502nd Engineer Battalion have provided security and often operated the crane that moves the heavy bridge pieces into place.
The Marines said they enjoy seeing the finished product, but don't revel in that sense of accomplishment too long.
"We all take a bridge picture and move on," said Pickering. "That's about it."
One reason the Marines don't spend too much time enjoying their handiwork is because they don't know how long the bridge may be around.
Allen recalled one time returning to Anaconda after building a bridge south of Baghdad.
"When we came back, we were all beat. They gave us a day off," Allen said. "When we woke up, they told us [the bridge] was blown up."
Other times, the Marines know they made a difference.
Laird recalled a bridge on Main Supply Route Tampa. Until that bridge was built, no supplies could get to the bases in northern Iraq by truck.
"We made it happen," he said.

You are a responsible policyholder and you pay your insurance premiums on time. In return, you expect fair treatment when you file a legitimate claim with your insurance company. Unfortunately, insurance companies want to make a profit, and they may resort to bad faith practices to avoid paying you what you deserve.
It can be difficult to determine if your insurance company has acted in bad faith. That's why it's essential to seek guidance from the experienced attorneys at Leventhal Lewis. Our lawyers will examine your unique situation and discuss your case for free. It is important to act quickly when dealing with potential insurance bad faith.
Potential signs of insurance bad faith include:
- Refusing to pay a valid claim: Your insurance company may try to deny your legitimate claim. It needs to provide an explanation for claim denials and cite the relevant provisions in your policy. If your insurer denies a valid claim, it will likely have a hard time proving why.
- Offering far less than what your claim is worth: While you will likely engage in negation with your claims adjuster, they cannot grossly understate the value of your claim or offer to pay you far less than what your claim is worth.
- Causing unreasonable delays: Insurance companies are required to act in a timely manner. Insurers may try to take advantage of you by unjustly delaying an investigation, decision, or payment.
- Engaging in deceptive practices: Some insurance companies have many deceptive practices up their sleeves to boost their profits. Examples of this include changing your contract without notifying you or requesting burdensome documentation not required by your policy.
An insurance policy is a type of contract that requires your insurer to handle your claim in an honest and fair manner. When an insurance company mishandles a claim, it often places an unjust financial burden on the policyholder. If your claims adjuster or insurance company failed in their duty to investigate, negotiate, or settle your claim in good faith, then they may be liable for their actions.
Dealing with Insurance Bad Faith Tactics
When dealing with an insurance company, it is important to keep a record of all of your communications with your adjuster. Keep any letters from the insurance company in one place. Make a note of any potential instances of bad faith practices and when they occurred.
Insurance law can be complex and it varies across states. Our attorneys have a great deal of experience navigating the applicable laws in Colorado. We know how to stand up to large insurance companies, and we will fiercely advocate for you and your best interests.
Schedule Your Free Insurance Bad Faith Evaluation
We know how to deal with unscrupulous insurance companies. If you suspect that you are a victim of insurance bad faith, call 719-694-3000 today to schedule your complimentary case evaluation. If we take your insurance bad faith case, our dedicated lawyers will fight tirelessly for the compensation that you deserve.

LeBron James Has Hollywood Date Night In $340k Whip
LeBron James Hollywood Date Night ... In $340k Whip
LeBron James decided to take his wife out on a fancy Hollywood dinner date Thursday -- and cruised up to the hottest restaurant in town in a sick $340k Rolls-Royce!!
Bron and Savannah hit up Catch in West Hollywood -- where every major star goes to eat and be seen (Sofia Richie, Shaun White and Brittany Snow were also in the restaurant last night).
The James' didn't do much talkin' ... but they made a helluva statement with their car! Our car experts tell us Bron was behind the wheel of a 2017 Rolls-Royce Dawn Drophead Coupe.
Starting price ... $342k -- and that's the basic factory model. You know LeBron doesn't do basic anything.
Some car fun facts: it goes 0 to 60 in 4.3 seconds and gets a whopping 12 miles per gallon in the city.
The craziest part ... it's a fantasy car for most normal people. It's just another ride for LeBron.

Dive in Turks and Caicos
A Paradise for Divers
Providenciales give you access to over 70 miles (112km) of barrier reefs and walls. Because of this, there's a huge variety in the dive sites. Locations off Grace Bay Beach tend to have spur and groove reef formations, with shelves at different levels, while the West Caicos offers sheer edges, and some spots in the south banks can offer undercut walls. Swim-throughs, canyons and sand chutes can be found at many dive sites. The diving in Turks and Caicos is amazing and skilled or beginner divers will discover a magical underwater environment.
As is common with the reefs in Turks and Caicos, coral is vibrant and reef fish are plentiful. Turtles, lobsters, eels and rays are everywhere, and even the occasional dolphin can be spotted. Most of the sharks sighted around Providenciales are Caribbean Reef Sharks, but hammerheads, Lemon Sharks, Nurse Sharks and Bull Sharks are sometimes seen, mostly off the Northwest Point and west coast dive sites. During the winter months, Humpback Whales are sometimes seen in the deeper water off Providenciales.
Diving in Turks and Caicos is very popular. Providenciales is fortunate to have many excellent dive operators. Unlike so many other dive destinations, smaller dive boats are the norm, and groups rarely exceed eight people.
Dive boats tend to be busiest during the peak tourist season of December and January. If you plan to visit during this period, we highly recommend that you reserve well in advance.
Certifications from all of the main organizations (PADI, NAUI, SSI, TDI, SDI, IANTD) are recognized by local dive companies.
All of the main dive operators on Providenciales offer the complete range of recreational dive equipment for rent and it generally tends to be gear that's in excellent condition. Equipment sales are mostly limited to masks, fins, snorkels and accessories. All main dive companies offer Nitrox.
Interested in snorkeling or diving in Turks and Caicos? Contact our partners Aqua TCI or Dive Provo.

Orange roughy
third surveillance audit 2020
In 2016 three New Zealand orange roughy fisheries (ORH 3B East and South Chatham Rise, ORH 3B North West Chatham Rise, and ORH 7A including Westpac Bank) were certified by MRAG Americas against the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Fisheries Standard (CR v1.3) with four conditions.
In 2018 two of the four conditions were closed. These two conditions were closed when the fisheries passed their annual audit in February 2020.
DWG undertakes to make all non-confidential information that is provided to the Conformance Assessment Body (i.e. MRAG) publicly available on this webpage to ensure all documents are easily accessible by all participants.
A summary of the key information from these references can be found in the Progress Against Coral Conditions Report and the Situation Report.
Principle 1
"A fishery must be conducted in a manner that does not lead to over-fishing or depletion of the exploited populations and, for those populations that are depleted, the fishery must be conducted in a manner that demonstrably leads to their recovery."
The intent of this principle is to ensure that the productive capacities of the resources are maintained at high levels and are not sacrificed in favour of short term interests.

He and Hermione sat down on either side of Ron, who had saved them seats.
ďWhat was all that about?Ē he muttered to Harry.
Harry started to explain in a whisper, but at that moment the headmaster
stood up to speak, and he broke off.
Professor Dumbledore, though very old, always gave an impression of great
energy. He had several feet of long silver hair and beard, half-moon spectacles,
and an extremely crooked nose. He was often described as the greatest wizard
of the age, but that wasn't why Harry respected him. You couldn't help trusting
Albus Dumbledore, and as Harry watched him beaming around at the students, he
felt really calm for the first time since the dementor had entered the train
ďWelcome!Ē said Dumbledore, the candlelight shimmering on his beard. ďWelcome
to another year at Hogwarts! I have a few things to say to you all, and as one
of them is very serious, I think it best to get it out of the way before you
become befuddled by our excellent feast...Ē
Dumbledore cleared his throat and continued, ďAs you will all be aware after
their search of the Hogwarts Express, our school is presently playing host to
some of the dementors of Azkaban, who are here on Ministry of Magic business.Ē
He paused, and Harry remembered what Mr. Weasley had said about Dumbledore
not being happy with the dementors guarding the school.
ďThey are stationed at every entrance to the grounds,Ē Dumbledore continued,
ďand while they are with us, I must make it plain that nobody is to leave school
without permission. Dementors are not to be fooled by tricks or disguisesóor
even Invisibility Cloaks,Ē he added blandly, and Harry and Ron glanced at each
other. ďIt is not in the nature of a dementor to understand pleading or excuses.
I therefore warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you.
I look to the prefects, and our new Head Boy and Girl, to make sure that no
student runs afoul of the dementors,Ē he said.
Percy, who was sitting a few seats down from Harry, puffed out his chest
again and stared around impressively. Dumbledore paused again; he looked very
seriously around the hall, and nobody moved or made a sound.
ďOn a happier note,Ē he continued, I am pleased to welcome two new teachers
to our ranks this year.
ďFirst, Professor Lupin, who has kindly consented to fill the post of Defense
Against the Dark Arts teacher.Ē
There was some scattered, rather unenthusiastic applause. Only those who
had been in the compartment on the train with Professor Lupin clapped hard,
Harry among them. Professor Lupin looked particularly shabby next to all the
other teachers in their best robes.
ďLook at Snape!Ē Ron hissed in Harry's ear.
Professor Snape, the Potions master, was staring along the staff table at
Professor Lupin. It was common knowledge that Snape,anted the Defense Against
the Dark Arts job, but even Harry, who hated Snape, was startled at the expression
twisting his thin, sallow face. it was beyond anger: it was loathing. Harry
knew that expression only too well; it was the look Snape wore every time he
set eyes on Harry.
ďAs to our second new appointment,Ē Dumbledore continued as the lukewarm
applause for Professor Lupin died away. ďWell, I am sorry to tell you that Professor
Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired at the end of last
year in order to enjoy more time with his remaining limbs. However, I am delighted
to say that his place will be filled by none other than Rubeus Hagrid, who has
agreed to take on this teaching job in addition to his gamekeeping duties.Ē
Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared at one another, stunned. Then they joined
in with the applause, which was tumultuous at the Gryffindor table in particular.
Harry leaned forward to see Hagrid, who was ruby-red in the face and staring
down at his enormous hands, his wide grin hidden in the tangle of his black
ďWe should've known!Ē Ron roared, pounding the table. ďWho else would have
assigned us a biting book?Ē
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were the last to stop clapping, and as Professor
Dumbledore started speaking again, they saw that Hagrid was wiping his eyes
on the tablecloth.
ďWell, I think that's everything of importance,Ē said Dumbledore. ďLet the
feast begin!Ē
The golden plates and goblets before them filled suddenly with food and drink.
Harry, suddenly ravenous, helped himself to everything he could reach and began
to eat.
It was a delicious feast; the hall echoed with talk, laughter, and the clatter
of knives and forks. Harry, Ron, and Hermione, however, were eager for it to
finish so that they could talk to Hagrid. They knew how much being made a teacher
would mean to him. Hagrid wasn't a fully qualified wizard; he had been expelled
from Hogwarts in his third year for a crime he had not committed. It had been
Harry, Ron, and Hermione who had cleared Hagrid's name last year.
At long last, when the last morsels of pumpkin tart had melted from the golden
platters, Dumbledore gave the word that it was time for them all to go to bed,
and they got their chance.
ďCongratulations, Hagrid!Ē Hermione squealed as they reached the teachers'
ďAll down ter you three,Ē said Hagrid, wiping his shining face on his napkin
as he looked up at them., ďCan' believe it... great man, Dumbledore... came
straight down to me hut after Professor Kettleburn said he'd had enough... It's
what I always wanted. óĒ
Overcome with emotion, he buried his face in his napkin, and Professor McGonagall
shooed them away.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione joined the Gryffindors streaming up the marble staircase
and, very tired now, along more corridors, UP more and more stairs, to the hidden
entrance to Gryffindor Tower's large portrait of a fat lady in a pink dress
asked them, ďPassword?Ē
ďComing through, coming through!Ē Percy called from behind the crowd. ďThe
new password's 'Fortuna Major'!Ē
ďOh no,Ē said Neville Longbottom sadly. He always had trouble remembering
the passwords.
Through the portrait hole and across the common room, the girls and boys
divided toward their separate staircases. Harry climbed the spiral stair with
no thought in his head except how glad he was to be back. They reached their
familiar, circular dormitory with its five four-poster beds, and Harry, looking
around, felt he was home at last.
When Harry, Ron, and Hermione entered the Great Hall for breakfast the next
day, the first thing they saw was Draco Malfoy, who seemed to be entertaining
a large group of Slytherins with a very funny story. As they passed, Malfoy
did a ridiculous impression of a swooning fit and there was a roar of laughter.
ďIgnore him,Ē said Hermione, who was right behind Harry. ďJust ignore him,
it's not worth it...Ē
ďHey, Potter!Ē shrieked Pansy Parkinson, a Slytherin girl with a face like
a pug. ďPotter! The dementors are coming, Potter! Woooooooooo!Ē
Harry dropped into a seat at the Gryffindor table, next to George Weasley.
ďNew third-year course schedules,Ē said George, passing then, over. ďWhat's
up with you, Harry?Ē
ďMalfoy,Ē said Ron, sitting down on George's other side and glaring over
at the Slytherin table.
George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint with terror again.
ďThat little git,Ē he said calmly. ďHe wasn't so cocky last night when the
dementors were down at our end of the train. Came runing into our compartment,
didn't he, Fred?Ē
ďNearly wet himself,Ē said Fred, with a contemptuous glance at Malfoy.
ďI wasn't too happy myself,Ē said George. ďThey're horrible things, those
ďSort of freeze your insides, don't they?Ē said Fred.
ďYou didn't pass out, though, did you?Ē said Harry in a low voice.
ďForget it, Harry,Ē said George bracingly. ďDad had to go out to Azkaban
one time, remember, Fred? And he said it was the worst place he'd ever been,
he came back all weak and shaking... They suck the happiness out of a place,
dementors. Most of the prisoners go mad in there.Ē
ďAnyway, we'll see how happy Malfoy looks after our first Quidditch match,Ē
said Fred. ďGryffindor versus Slytherin, first game of the season, remember?Ē
The only time Harry and Malfoy had faced each other in a Quidditch match,
Malfoy had definitely come off worse. Feeling slightly more cheerful, Harry
helped himself to sausages and fried tomatoes.
Hermione was examining her new schedule.
ď Ooh, good, we're starting some new subjects today,Ē she said happily. villains
are these, that trespass upon my private lands! Come I. scorn at my fall, perchance?
Draw, you knaves, you dogs!Ē
They watched in astonishment as the little knight tugged his sword out of
its scabbard and began brandishing it violently, hopping up and down in rage.
But the sword was too long for him; a particularly wild swing made him overbalance,
and he landed facedown in the grass.
ďAre you all right?Ē said Harry, moving closer to the picture.
ďGet back, you scurvy braggart! Back, you rogue!Ē
The knight seized his sword again and used it to push himself back up, but
the blade sank deeply into the grass and, though he pulled with all his might,
he couldn't get it out again. Finally, he had to flop back down onto the grass
and push up his visor to mop his sweating face.
ďListen,Ē said Harry, taking advantage of the knight's exhaustion, ďwe're
looking for the North Tower. You don't know the way, do you?Ē
ďA quest!Ē The knight's rage seemed to vanish instantly. He clanked to his
feet and shouted, ďCome follow me, dear friends, and we shall find our goal,
or else shall perish bravely in the charge!Ē
He gave the sword another fruitless tug, tried and failed to mount the fat
pony, gave up, and cried, ďOn foot then, good sirs and gentle lady! On! On!Ē
And he ran, clanking loudly, into the left side of the frame and out of sight.
They hurried after him along the corridor, following the sound of his armor.
Every now and then they spotted him running through a picture ahead.
ďBe of stout heart, the worst is yet to come!Ē yelled the knight, and they
saw him reappear in front of an alarmed group of women in crinolines, whose
picture hung on the wall of a narrow spiral staircase.
Puffing loudly, Harry, Ron, and Hermione climbed the tightly spiraling steps,
getting dizzier and dizzier, until at last they heard the murmur of voices above
them and knew they had reached the classroom.
ďFarewell!Ē cried the knight, popping his head into a painting of some sinister-looking
monks. ďFarewell, my comrades-in-arms! If ever you have need of noble heart
and steely sinew, call upon Sir Cadogan!Ē
ďYeah, we'll call you,Ē muttered Ron as the knight disappeared, ďif we ever
need someone mental.Ē
They climbed the last few steps and emerged onto a tiny landing, where most
of the class was already assembled. There were no doors off this landing, but
Ron nudged Harry and pointed at the ceiling, where there was a circular trapdoor
with a brass plaque on it.
ď'Sibyll Trelawney, Divination teacher,"' Harry read. ďHow're we supposed
to get up there?Ē
As though in answer to his question, the trapdoor suddenly opened, and a
silvery ladder descended right at Harry's feet. Everyone got quiet.
ďAfter you,Ē said Ron, grinning, so Harry climbed the ladder first.
He emerged into the strangest-looking classroom he had ever seen. In fact,
it didn't look like a classroom at all, more like a cross between someone's
attic and an old-fashioned tea shop. At leasttwenty small, circular tables were
crammed inside it, all surrounded by chintz armchairs and fat little poufs.
Everything was lit with a dim, crimson light; the curtains at the windows were
all closed, and the many lamps were draped with dark red scarves. it was stiflingly
warm, and the fire that was burning under the crowded mantelpiece was giving
off a heavy, sickly sort of perfume as it heated a large copper kettle. The
shelves running around the circular walls were crammed with dusty-looking feathers,
stubs of candles, many packs of tattered playing cards, countless silvery crystal
balls, and a huge array of teacups.
Ron appeared at Harry's shoulder as the class assembled around them, all
talking in whispers.
ďWhere is she?Ē Ron said.
A voice came suddenly out of the shadows, a soft, misty sort of voice.
ďWelcome,Ē it said. ďHow nice to see you in the physical world at last.Ē
Harry's immediate impression was of a large, glittering insect. Professor
Trelawney moved into the firelight, and they saw that she was very thin; her
large glasses magnified her eyes to several times their natural size, and she
was draped in a gauzy spangled shawl. Innumerable chains and beads hung around
her spindly neck, and her arms and hands were encrusted with bangles and rings.
ďSit, my children, sit,Ē she said, and they all climbed awkwardly into armchairs
or sank onto poufs. Harry, Ron, and Hermione sat themselves around the same
round table.
ďWelcome to Divination,Ē said Professor Trelawney, who had seated herself
in a winged armchair in front of the fire. ďMy name is professor Trelawney.
You may not have seen me before. I find that descending too often into the hustle
and bustle of the main school clouds my Inner Eye.Ē
Nobody said anything to this extraordinary pronouncement. Professor Trelawney
delicately rearranged her shawl and continued, ďSo you have chosen to study
Divination, the most difficult of all magical arts. I must warn you at the outset
that if you do not have the Sight, there is very little I will be able to teach
you.. Books can take you only so far in this field...Ē
At these words, both Harry and Ron glanced, grinning, at Hermione, who looked
startled at the news that books wouldn't be much help in this subject.
ďMany witches and wizards, talented though they are in the area of loud bangs
and smells and sudden disappearings, are yet unable to penetrate the veiled
mysteries of the future,Ē Professor Trelawney went on, her enormous, gleaming
eyes moving from face to nervous face. ďIt is a Gift granted to few. You, boy,Ē
she said suddenly to Neville, who almost toppled off his pouf. ďIs your grandmother

Effectiveness of Bhattacharya Instrument on Emotional Intelligence a Case Study |
Appraisal of negativeand positive emotions were elicited as most important factors of emotionalintelligence in Indian context, followed by interpersonal conflict anddifficulty, interpersonal skill and flexibility and emotional facilitation andgoal orientation. The first, second and fifth factors were related to 'self'whereas the third and fourth factors reflected 'interpersonal skills'. Theconstruct of emotional intelligence involved appraisal and experience ofemotion for self and interpersonal situations in valence-specific terms(positive-negative) though BEIS-In was having many similarities with theexisting emotional intelligence scales, the valence-specificity of this scaleis a unique feature. Since culture determines the acceptance, recognition,appraisal, expression of emotions to a great extent, it can be assigned thatIndian collectivist culture is responsible for this uniqueness (Bhattacharya& Sengupta, 2007).

- Reactive Streams
- Quick Start Primer
Quick Start Primer
The aim of this guide is to provide background about the MongoDB Reactive Streams driver and its asynchronous API before going onto looking at how to use the driver and MongoDB.
See the installation guide for instructions on how to install the MongoDB Reactive Streams Driver.
Reactive Streams
This library is an implementation of the reactive streams specification and the reactive stream API consists of the following components:
- Publisher
- Subscriber
- Subscription
Publisher is a provider of a potentially unbounded number of sequenced elements, published according to the demand received from it's
In response to a call to
Publisher.subscribe(Subscriber) the possible invocation sequences for methods on the
Subscriber are given by the following protocol:
onSubscribe onNext* (onError | onComplete)?
This means that
onSubscribe is always signalled, followed by a possibly unbounded number of
onNext signals (as requested by
followed by an
onError signal if there is a failure, or an
onComplete signal when no more elements are available—all as long as
Subscription is not cancelled.
For more information about reactive streams go to: http://www.reactive-streams.org.
The MongoDB Reactive Streams Driver API mirrors the Sync driver API and any methods that cause network IO return a
T is the type of response for the operation.
Publishers returned
from the API are cold, meaning that nothing happens until
they are subscribed to. So just creating a
Publisher won't cause any network IO. It's not until
Publisher.subscribe is called that
the driver executes the operation.
Publishers in this implementation are unicast. Each
Subscription to a
relates to a single MongoDB operation and its
'Subscriber' will receive its own
specific set of results.
Subscribers used in the Quick Start
For the Quick Start we have implemented a couple of different Subscribers and although this is an artificial scenario for reactive streams we do block on the results of one example before starting the next, so as to ensure the state of the database.
The base subscriber class is the
ObservableSubscriber<T>, a Subscriber that stores the results of the
Publisher<T>. It also contains an
await()method so we can block for results to ensure the state of the database before going on to the next example.
An implementation of the
ObservableSubscriberthat immediately calls
Subscription.requestwhen it's subscribed to.
An implementation of the
OperationSubscriberthat prints a message
An implementation of the
OperationSubscriberthat takes a
Consumerand calls
Subscriber.onNext(T result)is called.
An implementation of the
ConsumerSubscriberthat prints the string version of the
An implementation of the
ConsumerSubscriberthat prints the json version of a
Blocking and non blocking examples
As our subscribers contain a latch that is only released when the
onComplete method of the
Subscriber is called, we can use that latch
to block on by calling the
await method. Below are two examples using our auto-requesting
The first is non-blocking and the second blocks waiting for the
Publisher to complete:
// Create a publisher
Publisher<Document> publisher = collection.find();
// Non blocking
publisher.subscribe(new PrintDocumentSubscriber());
Subscriber<Document> subscriber = new PrintDocumentSubscriber();
subscriber.await(); // Block for the publisher to complete
Publishers, Subscribers and Subscriptions
In general
Subscribers and
Subscriptions are a low level API and it's expected that users and libraries will build more
expressive APIs upon them rather than solely use these interfaces. As a library solely implementing these interfaces, users will benefit
from this growing ecosystem, which is a core design principle of reactive streams.
