PARIS — Though it seems the right thing to do at this stage, there is no plan to retire the Coupe des Mousquetaires, the trophy that goes to the winner of the men's singles title at the French Open.
Rafael Nadal has all but taken permanent possession of it, hoisting it high and biting down on its handle for the 11th time after defeating Dominic Thiem, 6-4, 6-3, 6-2, in the final on Sunday.
But the French are, in a sense, retiring the historic stadium in which Nadal has established his historic dominance.
Almost immediately after Thiem's last return had flown long, the attendants in the tournament's longstanding press room inside the Philippe Chatrier Court were distributing hard hats and colored markers to reporters and others for their demolition party. Much of the Chatrier Court, the main showplace at Roland Garros, will be demolished and rebuilt in the next 10 months to prepare for the installation of a retractable roof by 2020.
It will be a new era at the world's greatest clay-court tournament, but given how Nadal demolished a worthy opponent from the next generation on Sunday, it would be no surprise if he managed to bridge the eras.
At age 32, he was in vintage form against Thiem, a 24-year-old Austrian who had beaten Nadal three times on clay — but never in a best-of-five-set match. Nadal, who had some shaky opening starts this year at Roland Garros, was well aware of the threat, and he was focused and ferocious from the first point.
"If you tell me, seven, eight years ago, that I will be here with 32 years old having this trophy with me again, I will tell you that it is something almost impossible," Nadal said afterward. "But here we are."
Players have approached his level of achievement on other surfaces: Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Martina Navratilova on grass. But there has been no one like him on clay in any era.
Bjorn Borg was just as overwhelming at his peak but did not have Nadal's staying power, burning out in his mid-20s. Chris Evert won seven women's singles titles here over a 12-year period, but never won more than two in a row.
Nadal was a prodigy who has remained prodigious. While he has won six of his 17 Grand Slam singles titles on other surfaces, he is to clay what Michael Phelps is to water.
Like Phelps, his physique and technique are perfectly adapted to this environment: No one moves on terre battue like Nadal, and no one's topspin forehand kicks like Nadal's, not even Thiem's, which is quite a versatile weapon on its own.
Like Phelps, Nadal has an enduring drive to excel even after having won all there is to win, many times over. Eleven was the number this year as he won his 11th career title in Monte Carlo, in Barcelona and in Paris.
Most would be jaded by now. But Nadal still plays tennis on clay with the match-by-match hunger of someone who has not won so much as a Challenger event, and though he is rightly famous for relishing the struggle as much as the victory, there is also an element of protecting his turf at this stage.
The rallies on Sunday were routinely physical and often extended, full of topspin and corner-to-corner action and punctuated by loud grunts that were every bit as clamorous as any in the women's game (even if the grunting issue only seems to be a talking point in the women's side).
But though Thiem regularly took huge risks to try to push Nadal outside of his comfort zone, he was also pushing beyond his own: He finished with 42 unforced errors to go with his 34 winners. Before the final, Thiem said he had a plan, and he stayed closer to the baseline than usual to return and to rally, trying to deprive Nadal of time.
He hit some spectacular shots, but he could not hit enough of them. He struggled repeatedly with the timing on his one-handed backhand as he tried to counter Nadal's whipping topspin by hitting the ball right after the bounce.
He also picked the wrong time to play his worst game — serving into the wind at 4-5 in the first set — losing his serve at love to give Nadal the lead for good.
The Spaniard, who had plenty of plans of his own on Sunday and used the body serve very effectively, did have one edgy moment left.
Serving with a 2-1 lead in the third set, he stopped play while leading, 30-0, after missing a first serve, and jogged to his chair to address a cramp in his left hand that had left him unable to move his middle finger.
After treatment, he returned to the court and immediately double faulted, but still managed to hold. After more treatment on the next changeover, he won a 19-shot rally and held serve at love for a 4-2 lead.
He did not lose another game, and his record at Roland Garros is now 86-2: a far-fetched figure that is worth copying down in our notebooks 11 times.
He was asked what he thought, really thought, in the locker room after the victory, and he explained that there were so many obligations — hands to shake, questions to answer — that it was hard to have much time to think. But he gave it a shot.
"Well, the answer is quite simple," he said. "I think probably the same as you. That in the end — and I don't like to say it myself — but it's something that is really unique, something that you can't dream of, winning 11 times the same tournament. But it happened, and as always I would like to thank life for giving me this opportunity. Many people work as much as I do or even more and haven't had my luck. That being said, yes, winning 11 times here is a lot.
"I can't tell you any more than that."
It is all in that answer, really: the humility, the reluctant realism. There has been some luck: Who could have imagined that Novak Djokovic, who seemed to have Nadal's number on clay for good in 2015 and 2016, would fade from prominence so quickly? But without Nadal's humility and internal drive, he would never have been able to keep pushing himself; to keep doing the unglamorous work to recover from physical setbacks, most recently the psoas muscle problem that forced him to retire in the middle of the Australian Open in January and then kept him from playing another tournament until early April.
"A lot of months with problems," Nadal said. "So coming back and having the chance to win in Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Rome, and now especially here, it's very emotional for me."
He cried during the awards ceremony, which he has done before here. But these tears came as he held the trophy and received an extended ovation from the crowd that felt more like an extended recognition of his staying power.
It has rarely been a love affair. The French like their underdogs, and Nadal has too often drained the suspense out of their tournament. Both he and his uncle Toni Nadal resented the way the crowd cheered against him in the fourth round in 2009 as he lost to Robin Soderling, the Swedish outsider who is one of only two men to have beaten Nadal at Roland Garros.
There also have been insinuations and suspicions, reflected in the comment in 2016 by Roselyne Bachelot, a former French minister for health and sport, on French television that Nadal's seven-month injury layoff in 2012 was "probably due to a positive doping test."
Nadal was outraged and filed — and won — a defamation suit against Bachelot last year.
But the Franco-Nadal relationship seems to have arrived at a new and more convivial place. If he seemed the slightest bit blasé, it might be a different matter. Yet there he still was on a Sunday in the Paris spring, chasing every ball, groaning with nearly every stroke and whipping winners when he needed them most against a rival eight years his junior.
They can demolish the stadium, but his records here will likely stand until they demolish the next one.

We want a new Municipal Water Utility Company NOT San Jose Water Company
0 have signed. Let's get to 5,000!
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: San Jose Water Company (SJWC) is currently an investor-owned monopoly that regularly increases water rates. SJWC's income has gone up 200% in 6 years . The current process of rate filings with CPUC has been very effective for SJWC to increase rates and increase profits. Their profits spiked 130% from 2013 to 2014. In a severe drought year 2016, their profits grew 40% year to year. SJWC has made $222M in profits since 2010.
We have had it with SJWC! We want a NEW DIRECTION.
Water is going to be our biggest challenge over the next few decades - based on what we just saw during the recent California drought. It is time we took control of it...now! We do NOT want to be at the mercy of an investor-owned utility company for our water.
#1 Forging a broad coalition of cities that get served by SJWC will help. See A1 below
#2 Follow the execution strategy of other success stories See A2 below
#3 Let us Condemn San Jose Water Company by exercising eminent domain. See an existing California use case success of doing exactly that A3 below
#4 Today, the cities of Palo Alto and Santa Clara have their own municipal water company. How about a new municipal utility company servicing neighborhoods that are currently serviced by SJWC, that will NOT be motivated by profit, but interested in serving to the best of it's capabilities. - see A4 below
#5 A sound financial model and approach. See A5 below for the financial analysis
Excited about this idea? Join this activist group groups.google.com/group/wateroversight
#A1 We are building a broad coalition engaging councilmembers from cities to converge behind this push back against rampant rate increases and more. Currently a councilmember** each from the following cities are on board: Cupertino, Monte Sereno, Milpitas, Sunnyvale and Saratoga . NOTE: Being on board does not mean the collective city council or the city have converged to this thought process..
#A2 Worldwide, 235 cities in 37 countries— including Paris, Budapest and Buenos Aires — have taken stronger or total control of their water systems in the last five years. In the U.S., 58 cities have taken or retaken control of private systems in the period, with the pace accelerating. Read this LA Times article http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-public-private-properties-20151015-story.html
#A3 California municipalities have been particularly active in reclaiming water systems. San Francisco purchased Spring Valley Water Company (SVWC) leading to the formation of San Francisco Public Utility Commission (SFPUC). SFPUC is a public agency of the City and County of San Francisco that provides water, wastewater, and electric power services to the city and an additional 1.9 million customers within three San Francisco Bay Area counties . Click on this article below that describes how eminent domain action led to California based Casitas Municipal Water District ("Casitas") taking over operating assets of Golden State Water Company's Ojai water system by eminent domain for approximately $34.5 million. Yes it can be done! http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170413006178/en/American-States-Water-Company-Announces-Agreement-Resolve
#A4 Santa Clara and Palo Alto already have city owned and operated municipal utility company which is working very well for their residents i.e reasonable water rates, and NEVER surcharges. Twelve communities in Santa Clara County formed Silicon Valley Clean Energy, creating a community-owned agency https://www.svcleanenergy.org/about-us that has created an alternative to PG&E. Why not a Silicon Valley Municipal Water - community owned water ? All options will be considered - perhaps expand the existing San Jose Municipal Utility or Cupertino Municipal Utility.
#A5 HOW DO WE FINANCE IT? With 229,000* metered connections, we anticipate a price tag of $700M - on the high side. An investment of $3,000 to $5,000 / family would be needed - financed upfront and spread the cost recovery over 10 years. Given that SJWC profited $222M in 7 years, we would have saved at least $350M in the next 10 years that could accelerate payments or credited back to the customers, or even better - rates lowered to ensure a break-even operation (remember - the new municipal utility is NOT driven by profits)
See press coverage "Call for money back from SJWC" http://www.indiapost.com/rishi-calls-for-money-back-from-san-jose-water-company/
We want a municipal utility company. See the position of this Water Oversight group by watching this video https://youtu.be/g0OPuznJLig at the CPUC Public hearing on Nov 6th 2017 in San Jose
San Jose Water Company could have done a better job of warning it's customers of these super high water bills. But customers only found out about their four figure water bills after the fact.
Water is a public asset and should be controlled by the community. In spite of residents conserving, cutting back their water use 30% to 50% in 2015 and 2016 over 2013, the water bills have gone sky high. High bills don't reflect high water use. Nothing is more necessary to life than water.
*SJWC provides water services to ~229,000 water meter connections (~1 million residents) that serve 80% of citizens of San Jose, some of Cupertino and all of Saratoga, Campbell, Monte Sereno, Los Gatos, and unincorporated Santa Clara county

"Your story is self-created and you have the
power to shape it." –Brandyn Negri
My career started in luxury real estate in 1994. I was the youngest in my office and quickly became a topsales producer. Ten years later I founded Brandyn and Company, a firm specializing in the representation of luxury real estate developers. Within a few short years I had created a multi-million dollar business. I partnered with another high-end Realtor to create a boutique luxury brokerage called SKY|Real Estate. Our success paved the way for the purchase of franchise rights in Sotheby's International Realty. In 2004, we launched SKY|Sotheby's International Realty with 3 offices and 25 agents. By 2006, we purchased the Sotheby's Realty franchise rights to the Twin Cities and I was named "Women to Watch In the Twin Cities."
The success was thrilling, but change was on the horizon. One year after opening two realty offices in the Twin Cities, I found out my kidneys were failing. In my late teen's I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease, but wasn't until 2007 (in my late 30's) that the need to have a kidney transplant turned into a reality.
Personal illness is scary and during this challenging time of identifying a donor, I was also dealing with unsettling and unsustainable business realities, as well as the end of my marriage. It was a life-altering time period that quickly changed my goals, relationships, physical capabilities and career path. I knew I had to alter the course of my life. Thankfully, during this turbulent time I met the love of my life, who became my kidney donor and my husband! I sold my shares in SKY|Sotheby's and took the next several months to heal.
With health as my focus, I found myself going through an awakening while attending yoga classes and retreats. Over the next 9 years, I completed 1500 hours of training (Core Power Yoga, Certified Baptiste Yoga, Moksha/Modo Yoga) developing myself as a yoga teacher, opened my own yoga studio, Sigh Yoga and traveled to several continents to train people how to teach yoga. One of my most transformative trips was to Nairobi, Kenya to help assist a 200-Hour Teacher Training with Africa Yoga Project. I raised $10K for the non-for profit and supported over 100 participants in the training have personal transformations.
I'm a graduate and continual student of Institute of Life Coaching. ILCT was one of the first coach training programs to be accredited by the International Coach Federation and was the first coach training program selected by the Center for Credentialing and Education for graduate level professionals pursuing the Board Certified Coach credential.
The Institute's rich heritage in the social sciences and its commitment to excellence allows us to attract and retain a highly accomplished faculty, many of whom are dually trained and qualified in traditional helping professions as well as coaching.
Additionally, I've completed Landmark Level One, and participated in numerous personal development trainings. My education has enriched both my professional and life experiences. My proven processes and tools are a blend of several techniques and approaches which help clients achieve actionable and fulfilling results.

Who said drop outs and failures couldn't ever win their dreams ?
Here is yet another Pakistani Inspiration, Naureen Hyat, who being a medical school drop out, yet aimed to help people and has successfully shown her steps forward to it today.
Naureen always wanted to serve humanity and hence, being a doctor was a dream come true, but due to circumstances she had to drop out and that is when she realized that more than illness what really bothers humans all around is finance.
People are unable to afford most of their dreams, their families, their health issues and keeping all that in mind Naureen created the idea of "Tez Commitee" which is a marketplace of funds where people can pool their funds and win the pool every month, based on a bidding process.
As Naureen was interviewed she mentioned, "We are in the process of raising funds and should finalise deals with potential investors in the coming months. SDG Challenge was a good opportunity to present ourselves to potential investors. Some Shariah compliant funds have also shown interest,"
She continued "The smartphone user base is 40 million currently and is expected to double by 2020, according to GSMA estimates. Our market will primarily be the smartphone user base, which is currently 40 million, going on to 80 million in two years. Broadband proliferation is happening for real and financial inclusion is no longer a pipedream."
The true inspiration behind her idea of Tez committee was that despite of having so many banks and financial programs all around, the poor still suffer on managing control. The idea of Tez Financial Service is to serve all and create a balance.
We're proud of you Naureen, and good luck with your aims ahead.

The main aim of forming the group was to create a forum through which we, as the youth of the village, can come together to discuss the problems in the village and decide how we can help in dealing with some of the problems. Some of the problems were human rights, civic education, recreation and community service.
Over the period since the formation of MYG, we have held a series opf meetings among ourselves as youth, with the adults in the village and between us and other individuals and organisations from outside who are genuinely interested in our problems.
The few acitivities that we have held in the village have greatly improved the lives of the youth, our younger brothers and sisters, and our parents in the village. We hope to achieve more through our efforts, through Centre for Legal Education and Aid Networks (CLEAN) who are our collaborators, and other well wishers outside the village who are interested in our efforts. The group has 14 members - 8 men and 6 ladies with an age distribution of 18 to 25 years. Main objectives of the group are:
Human rights and creation of legal awarenes.
The two objectives have been realised through the training of the community by para-legal workers (PLWs). A workshop was organised by MYG in collaboration with CLEAN and Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) and some members MYG and MYSA were trained as PLWs. The youth have organised several training activities in and outside the village. People are now living a more confident life, as the have known about their rights.
Workshop on human rights
With the few facilities we have, MYG has brought hope in many lives of people in the village who had involved themselves in socially problematic activities, for instance, taking drugs and stealing among other crimes. Many youths that had nothing to do due to lack of jobs are actively involving themselves in various sports. A dartboard and two sets of darts were bought. Many people both young and old have shown interest and are acitively participating in the sports. A dart club has been formed.
The darts club is place for the youngsters
In football the Mathare Youth Sports Association (MYSA) is in contact with us and we are doing everything possible as far as sports organisation and management are concerned. Great achievements have been realised in terms of football as more youths have joined the project. There are more than twenty teams in the project in three age groups. There are 12 under 12 years teams, and 10 under 14 years and 4 under 16 years teams. There are more than 400 youths participating. Amazingly we received an invitation to participate in Gothia youth soccer tournament in Sweden last year, but we were unable to raise funds for air tickets, as accommodation was provided free. The invitation was extended up to this year and we hope to go, if true friends and well wishers would help us raise the funds for air tickets. We are already organising a team to participate in the tournament.
Girls have raised a lot of enthusiasm and are joining
the project. There are four girls teams. Recreation activities have been
combined with community clean up activities.
Community services
Several community service activities have been organised and carried out by the youth. These activities include the building of the nursery which is also used as a social hall in the evenings and during the weekends. The nursery or hall was built through from Swedish society in Kenya and was officially opened on December 7, 1997.
As is the case with the urban slums, homesteads are made of temporary building materials and are surrounded with garbage, indicating a lack of sanitation and hygiene. The youth have had many activities where they have collected all the garbage in the village and dug pits were the villagers can dump their waste. High standards of hygiene are observed in the community.

Vanguard CEO Tim Buckley may think highly of blockchain technology, but he isn't planning in investing in bitcoin anytime soon.
Buckley, who succeeded former chief Bill McNabb at the start of the year, oversees roughly $4.5 trillion in assets under management.
"You will never see a fund from Vanguard on bitcoin," Buckley told CNBC's Bob Pisani on Monday. "We tend to stay away from assets that don't have underlying economic value. They don't generate earnings or cash flows."
Digital currency bitcoin has risen and fallen dramatically over the past several months in what many investors consider a bubble-like move. Generated through a digital process called "mining," bitcoin derives much of its value from its scarcity. And given widespread appraising and volatile price moves, Buckley told investors he's steering well clear of the space.
"The bitcoin – its value is based off of scarcity – and an artificial scarcity that's out there," he explained. "It's really tough to imagine where the long-term return comes from other than speculation."
Buckley compared the lack of fundamental economic value in bitcoin to a lack of fundamental value in gold, an asset class which Vanguard also avoids.
Vanguard, based in Malvern, Pa., prides itself as one of Wall Street's most low-cost and conservative managers. Founder John Bogle's strategy of low-cost index fund investing has since swept across Wall Street.

Needle & Thread plots US wholesale push
Speaking to Drapers following news of Marigay Mckee's investment into the label, Coffin said the brand was targeting both independents and department stores in the US, a key market for the brand. Needle & Thread appointed sales agency Goods & Services in September last year to help push the label in the States, where it already has built up a strong portfolio of 24 stockists including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Revolve Clothing. The brand is also in the early stages of exploring other territories. "We're looking at Asia," said Coffin. "We're just working [on which locations] at the moment." In Asia, Needle & Thread is stocked in six Lane Crawford stores in locations such as Hong Kong, Shanghai and Chengdu, and is sold via the department store's website.

How Slack Became the Fastest Growing B2B SaaS Business (Maybe) Ever
Search Results Real-time search powered by Initially known as Tiny Speck, the company we now know as Slack first worked on a Flash-based online game called Glitch, which developers around the country worked on for close to four years. [10] [12] Yet at some point, the team became less interested in Glitch and more interested in IRC, "the '80s era communication tool they were using to collaborate over long distances and long periods of time." [12] The team appreciated that IRC allowed them to focus in on projects while tuning out other email inbox noise, and it wasn't long before the entire company pivoted toward communications. "Never mind the part where we first tried to make a web-based massively multiplayer game and failed," says co-founder Stewart Butterfield, who also co-founded Flickr. [3] Development of the corporate messaging service Slack actually began toward the end of 2012, and by August of 2013 Slack's was running in private beta.

The Ultimate Guide to Creating a Positive Brand Image for Online Reputation Management
Online reputation management is something that most people and businesses only think of when they need it.

From Paintbox to PC: How London became the home of Hollywood VFX. In a darkened room on the backstreets of London's red light district, Mike McGee stared at a screen.
Surrounded by a thick wall of cigarette smoke and impatient chain-smoking clients, he swiped a pen across the table, his movement replicated with surprising accuracy as a pixel-perfect line on the screen above. The clients—TV producers from the BBC—were impressed. In just a few short minutes, McGee had transformed a single frame of video into the beginnings of a title sequence. In a world where labour-intensive optical effects and manual rotoscoping were the norm, this was a revelation. For 12 years, McGee worked out of this room, painting onto the screen, his eyes left bloodshot and burning from the smoke as runners dashed in and out to empty overflowing ashtrays. These surrealist games melt more than clocks. Some say surrealism was the most influential art movement of the past century and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it's had an effect on video game developers too.

It's Thanksgiving time here in the States. What better topic to meditate on than your perspective on what makes happiness and on what is right? Here's a Thanksgiving thought to ponder. It's about being grateful and happy in any circumstance.
I have a daughter who lived in Thailand for a little over a year. She fell into a deep love of the country and the people and was especially moved at how everyone is so happy, notwithstanding their circumstances. Right in the midst of what most Americans would consider crippling poverty, people enjoy life and they love and laugh together. She worked at an orphanage. She had to commit to helping out for a year, but if she agreed to work there, then she could live there and they would feed her. Apparently, this is a pretty common arrangement. She was expected to work at the school and would be treated like any other girl working there. She was ecstatic.
Her day was like any of the other girls who worked there. She woke early and shuffled kids to breakfast. She taught school. She helped with homework. But her favorite time was when all of the teachers sat in a small circle switching children out between their legs. The teachers would socialize and gossip while they combed through the children's hair for lice. And, this wasn't really an orphanage in the truest sense. In Thailand, it seems, when parents can no longer afford to feed and clothe their children, they send them off to live at an 'orphanage' which is really a state-run school and place to live that provides food, shelter, clothes, and an education to the children at no cost to parents, who usually visit once a month.
My father's heart was warmed when, after she came home, she became disgruntled with her church. They needed new pews and the selections offered set social clicks against each other. Some wanted the best: why settle for anything less than velvet lined cherry in gods house? Some wanted simple and inexpensive folding metal chairs. Some were for oak while others wanted pine. My daughter laughed and removed herself from the entire hullabaloo which cam close to breaking up the church. When asked, she said that people in Thailand – at least in the jungle area where she lived – were as happy as clams for a roof and a concrete floor in the case of rain. That was all. And they were happy. Plywood stretched over cinder blocks would have made them feel like kings and queens.
I've no doubt that there are folks in Thailand who would put up the same fuss about seating as these people in the States. But the people that my daughter lived with, the poor and downtrodden and those with little hope to better their lot, were happy just to have somewhere to sit that didn't stain their pants and dresses with dirt and clay.

Before his flight to Dubai, Gary Arndt spared some time to speak with me about his travels. He's a busy guy – in March 2007, he sold his house, put his stuff in storage, and set out to see the world. He's been to 40 countries so far, with plenty more on the way, as you can see on his website, Everything Everywhere.
Quick question from the beginning. Did you find your friends and family were supportive of your decision to sell your house and start travelling? How did you deal with the feedback you received, positive or negative?
When I told everyone I wanted to travel around the world, my friends thought it was cool, my family was apprehensive. Many people are very weary about travel because the only things they hear about foreign places on the news is bad. After I had been on the road a while, they warmed up to it. Eventually, I think it became something they'd brag to their friends about "Hey, my kid is in Fiji! You know where that is?"
You've just described yourself on Twitter as "a traveller who's been on the road for 2 years happy". As a fellow travel lover, I totally hear you and my most memorable days alive have been on the road. But do you ever have days where you just wish you were home and know you'd be in the same bed the next night?
No. The first few weeks and months were difficult in adjusting to not having a permanent home. I've never had to live like this before. Eventually, however, you get used to it. Certainly there are times like Christmas you wish you could be with your family, but I keep myself busy and meet lots of people on the road, so I seldom get lonely.
The photographs on your website are wonderful. Have you been somewhere yet that was REALLY inspirational, a place that spoke to you and said "this is why you've been on this journey"?
Many times. It isn't always in some dramatic location like Easter Island or on the top of a mountain. Yesterday I had to go take care of my Thailand visa. It was as frustrating as going to the DMV. On the way back I was on a platform for the Bangkok sky train and I got an excellent view of the city. The buildings, the traffic, and the buzz which is Bangkok. It was great to see the city from that perspective. I'm leaving for Dubai tomorrow and that has me very excited. New places are always exciting.
You have a lot of press, particularly in the blogosphere, regarding your travels – would you consider yourself famous? How does it make you feel?
Famous? Not even close. I've gotten some attention on a few travel blogs, but that is about it. Outside of that small community I'm pretty unknown. The travel blog niche is pretty small in the big scheme of things. Having a popular travelogue is a long way from being famous. If my website was in a niche other than travel, and had the same amount of traffic, no one would take notice.
Your site, everything-everywhere.com, has amassed an amazing amount of travel blog information as well as heaps and heaps of your own content. It is quite impressive, I have to say, and must thank you for sharing this with the community. Did you expect to have such a site when you started out? What was Gary's vision?
I was always planning to have a website. I went around the world back in 1999 on a three week business trip. The employees of my company (an internet consulting firm) created a small website where they could see my photos and updates. It was a travel blog before there was travel blogs.
I always intended to have some sort of website since I had the idea of going on the trip. I had been building websites since 1994, so it was a natural thing to do. For the first nine months of my trip the site wasn't much more than a place for friends and family. I had maybe 100 subscribers, and I probably knew most of those people by name.
When I got to Hong Kong I made decision to see if I could make something more of my site. I had done no marketing and kept a half-assed schedule of updating. I committed myself to putting up an original photo every day, began writing longer articles, and began the process of getting the word out about what I was doing. There is a lot of people vying for attention online, and I figured the travelogue space was pretty wide open. There were lots of travelogues, but few that took it seriously, and most had a very limited shelf life.
What would you say to readers out there who are thinking about a trip of their own (besides telling them to signup for your daily update newsletter, of course)?
To rip-off a line from Nike, just do it. People are apprehensive about travel, especially if they haven't done it before. They are worried about speaking the language, managing their money, finding places to stay, etc. There will always be some reason to not go, some worry you will have about something which could go wrong. Things will take care of themselves once you are on the ground. Once you are there, you will have to sink or swim and you'll quickly realize how many of your fears were unfounded.
I'm coming to Cambodia & Hong Kong in February/March. Any secrets to share?
In Hong Kong, make sure to be on the Kowloon side of the harbor to watch sunset. The lighting up of the city was one of the most impressive things I've seen. You should also go see the city from Victoria Peak, which is one of the more popular things to do in Hong Kong. Take the time to go outside of the city. For as small as Hong Kong is, there is a surprising amount of rural area. Take a day to go visit Macau. You probably don't need more than a day. It is like Vegas lite (actually, Macau makes more money on gambling than Las Vegas, but it isn't as glitzy).
Most of the attractions in Cambodia are pretty obvious: Angkor and the the genocide related places in Phnom Penh. I also took a side trip to Preah Vihear, but I wouldn't recommend going there until the tensions with Thailand die down, and I wouldn't go from the Cambodia side of the border.
Wow, Gary, impressive stuff. Thanks again for the great discussion. Folk should know that Gary has a daily photo feature on his website (god knows how he finds the time), so you should signup for his feeds or email updates. Go on, just do it – there's a link there to the right. 🙂
We love to hear about other's inspiring travelogues here at Sharing Experiences. If you have a story to tell, get in touch.

CAS No.: 129979-57-3
Properties of Argipressin Acetate:
Appearance : White powder
Water Content(Karl Fischer): ≤6.0%
Acetate Content(by HPLC): ≤12.0%
Amino Acid Composition: ±10% of theoretical
Purity (by HPLC): ≥98.0%

Argipressin increases peripheral vascular resistance, which in turn increases arterial blood pressure. It plays a key role in homeostasis, by the regulation of water, glucose, and salts in the blood. It is derived from a preprohormone precursor that is synthesized in the hypothalamus and stored in vesicles at the posterior pituitary. Most of argipressin is stored in the posterior pituitary to be released into the bloodstream; however, some AVP is also released directly into the brain, where it plays an important role in social behavior and bonding.

What Brings You Here?
Something brought you here today. And I think I know what it is. Developing a social media strategy and then executing it, staying consistent with it, and getting results from it on a daily basis can be challenging. Especially if it isn't your full-time job. When social networks first started to surge in popularity about 15 years ago, we were all told we needed to get on each network. Once we got on each network, if we had a business, we were urged to create a "business profile" and use it to grow our businesses. Then, once each one of these social networks launched an advertising platform, were told one of the best ways to grow our business would be to advertise on it. Now with video, we're told we need to showcase our brand on video to help our customers learn more about us.
The constant shift in social media can almost feel overwhelming, especially when you're doing it on your own and have nobody to hold you accountable.
So, maybe you're here because you have a desire to learn more about how social media can be used as a tool to capture more leads, more customers, or increase brand awareness. Or maybe you want to understand the basics to you can hire someone else to manage it for you. One thing is for sure, social media isn't just about posting and status updates. It has evolved into being a strong component for many company's marketing programs.
Training in Groups: Social Media Mastermind
Online courses are great. Self-study at your own pace can truly help you flourish in learning about social networks like Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn, but for many that just simply isn't enough.
Private Coaching & Consulting
Private coaching and consulting is an excellent option for anyone who wants 1-on-1 attention, but is also dedicated to being held accountable for completing recommended tasks or assignments that will steadily move your business forward. If this sounds like you, then private coaching may be ideal.
Group or Corporate Speaking & Training
When you have an entire team dedicated to leading your social media and digital marketing efforts, they need to be on the same page. It's not unusual for organizations with growing digital marketing programs to have teams that operate in silos. The sales team doesn't communicate with the social media team, the social media team doesn't communicate with the team leading the marketing strategy, and so on.

Peace on earth, can it be, years from now, perhaps we'll see, see the day of glory. See the day when men of good will live in peace, live in peace again.
Not my words of course, but those of Bing Crosby and David Bowie in their slightly-bizarre but charming 1982 reimagining of the 1941 classic The Little Drummer Boy.
Why should I quote them you ask? Well, Halloween's over, bonfire night's overrated which can only mean one thing: Christmas is right around the corner!
And what better way to spend the next two months than buying corporate coffee? It brings us all together whether or not we like it.
What am I banging on about, you ask? Well, McDonald's has just launched a brand new fancy Christmas drink just in time for the festive season.
That's right kids, the fast food dons have introduced the Millionaire's Latte (potentially offensive name to those who may be using the cups to receive spare change on the streets) which contains a large shot of espresso blended with steamed milk and a caramel biscuit flavoured syrup.
Get your laughing gear around THAT!
The new latte will cost £1.99 for a regular and £2.29 for a medium.

Alessandra Manzotti, a freelance portrait and landscape photographer, was born and raised in Milan, Italy. At the age of 20, she traveled to the United States in search of different opportunities, living in Hawaii and California before settling into the countryside of Pennsylvania with her husband, daughter, and four dogs.
With intuitive and innate talent, Manzotti creates ethereal, dynamic, and intimate photographs. Her inspiration comes from childhood memories of Italy, her extensive travels, her journey through motherhood, and a perpetual sense of restlessness. "With my images I try to evoke a sense of space and motion often enhanced by rich and dramatic use of monochromatic tones," she says. Manzotti honed her technique while studying under John Paul Caponigro and Alison Shaw and creates a look all her own. Her remarkable style of photography has a way of drawing you in and enveloping you into her view of the world.
Manzotti starts a new photographic adventure this February; she tells us she'll "join BBC and Human Planet photographer Timothy Allen and 6 other photographers from Europe and South America on a 150Km photographic expedition." They'll be exploring and capturing images of the "remote region of the Altai Mountain of Western Mongolia following the nomadic spring migration of a family of Kazakhs eagle hunters, their prized eagles, and herd of 1,000 cattle and camels." With temperatures dropping as low as -40 degrees, Manzotti will sleep in traditional round tents called gers. She'll use this unique opportunity to become immersed in the life of the nomadic people of Mongolia while witnessing and photographing areas very rarely seen by outsiders.
Manzotti has featured her photographs in exhibits in New York City, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. On March 1, she is opening a shared gallery in the heart of Chadds Ford with a contemporary painter from Belgium, Susan Iserbyt . To experience her work, the gallery is located at the old forge in Fairville Village, 522 Kennett Pike, Chadds Ford, PA.
We'll definitely be stopping into the gallery and we look forward to seeing what images she brings home after her Mongolian expedition!

Asfotase Alfa Granted Orphan Drug Designation in Japan
Monday, September 8, 2014 6:30 am EDT
CHESHIRE, Conn.
Public Company Information:
CHESHIRE, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:ALXN) today announced that Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) has granted orphan drug designation (ODD) to asfotase alfa for the treatment of patients with hypophosphatasia (HPP), a genetic, chronic and progressive ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by defective bone mineralization. Patients with HPP can experience a range of devastating consequences, including the destruction and deformity of bones, profound muscle weakness, seizures, respiratory failure and premature death.1-5 Asfotase alfa is an investigational, highly innovative, first-in-class targeted enzyme replacement therapy designed to address the underlying cause of HPP.
"HPP is a devastating disease for patients and families and there are currently no approved treatment options," said Martin Mackay, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Global Head of R&D at Alexion. "The orphan drug designation granted for asfotase alfa undescores the significant need for an effective treatment option for Japanese patients suffering from this severe, ultra-rare disorder."
The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, based on the opinion of the Pharmaceutical Affairs and Food Sanitation Council, grants orphan status to drugs and medical devices that treat serious diseases of high unmet medical need that affect fewer than 50,000 patients in Japan. Orphan drug designation provides drug developers with certain benefits and incentives, including priority review for marketing authorization and a period of 10 years of market exclusivity if regulatory approval is received for the designated indication.
About Hypophosphatasia (HPP)
Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a genetic, chronic and progressive ultra-rare metabolic disease characterized by defective bone mineralization that can lead to destruction and deformity of bones, profound muscle weakness, seizures, respiratory failure and premature death.1-5
HPP is caused by mutations in the gene encoding an enzyme known as tissue non-specific alkaline phosphatase (TNSALP).1,2 The genetic deficiency in HPP can affect people of all ages.1 HPP is classified by the age of the patient at the onset of symptoms of the disease, and pediatric-onset HPP is defined as first symptom prior to 18 years of age.1
HPP can have devastating consequences for patients at any stage of life.1 Pediatric patients with HPP have a high mortality rate; mortality in these patients is primarily due to respiratory failure.1,5 In patients surviving to adolescence and adulthood, long-term clinical sequelae include recurrent and non-healing fractures, debilitating weakness, severe pain, and the requirement for ambulatory assistive devices such as wheelchairs, wheeled walkers and canes.1,4
About Asfotase Alfa
Asfotase alfa is an investigational, highly innovative, first-in-class targeted enzyme replacement therapy. Asfotase alfa is designed to address the underlying cause of HPP by normalizing the genetically defective metabolic process, and preventing or reversing the severe and potentially life-threatening complications of life-long dysregulated mineral metabolism.
In 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for asfotase alfa. According to the FDA, a Breakthrough Therapy designation is designed to expedite the development of a drug to treat a serious or life-threatening disease when preliminary clinical evidence indicates that the drug may demonstrate substantial improvement over existing therapies on one or more clinically significant endpoints.
In April 2014, Alexion initiated the rolling submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for asfotase alfa as a treatment for patients with HPP with the FDA. In July 2014, the Marketing Authorization Application (MAA) for asfotase alfa was validated and granted accelerated assessment by the European Medicines Agency (EMA).
About Alexion
Alexion is a biopharmaceutical company focused on serving patients with severe and rare disorders through the innovation, development and commercialization of life-transforming therapeutic products. Alexion is the global leader in complement inhibition and has developed and markets Soliris® (eculizumab) as a treatment for patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) and atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), two debilitating, ultra-rare and life-threatening disorders caused by chronic uncontrolled complement activation. Soliris is currently approved in nearly 50 countries for the treatment of PNH and in nearly 40 countries for the treatment of aHUS. Alexion is evaluating other potential indications for Soliris in additional severe and ultra-rare disorders beyond PNH and aHUS, and is developing other highly innovative biotechnology product candidates, including asfotase alfa, across multiple therapeutic areas.

The dream all along was to one day have a brick and mortar location for Scout & Arrow. Initial planning and scheming had us on track for a Fall 2016 opening, but the timing ultimately didn't feel right. [Insert news of baby on the way, followed by two months of unbearable morning sickness.]
We're now a matter of weeks away from meeting our little guy, due in early April, but we just couldn't turn down the opportunity to snag this storefront space when it became available in early January of this year. When another commercial space didn't pan out, it felt a little like kismet that we would discover this perfect space right in our very own neighborhood. Kirkwood, an historic Atlanta neighborhood, is situated on the east side of town more or less between Candler Park/Edgewood and Lake Claire/Decatur. With community-building events like the Kirkwood Spring Fling and the Wine Stroll, we're really looking forward to meeting more of our neighbors in the coming months!
Our shop is nestled among some beloved neighborhood restaurants like Le Petit Marche and Anna's BBQ, across the street from our favorite little coffee shop—and de facto Scout & Arrow "office" of nine months—Taproom. We officially opened our doors on Saturday, February 11, but we continue to tweak and add to the space. It's an ever-evolving process!
We hope you'll take a minute to pop in and say "hello" if you live in the Atlanta area. You can now find us at:
1986 Hosea L. Williams Dr. NE, Suite E
Atlanta, GA 30317

A Guide to Infertility Etiquette
How to help your friends and family help you
You know your friends and family mean well. Really, they do. But infertility isn't exactly something we learn about as kids. There's no merit badge for infertility etiquette, and visiting a fertility clinic is not on the list of typical school field trips. The fact is, unless people have had to deal with it personally, most are blissfully unaware of even basic knowledge about infertility.
That can leave your friends and family members at a complete loss for the right thing to say or do, and odds are high that they'll tell you the last thing you need or want to hear. And, as you probably know all too well, trying to develop a "thick skin" isn't even an option. On the worst days, battling infertility feels like you have no skin at all.
Do any of these sound familiar?
"Your day will come." (What makes you so sure? The reality is that it may not.)
"Just relax." (Seriously? This advice just stresses me out more.)
"I know a couple who gave up trying to have a baby and just after filing for adoption, the woman got pregnant." (Miracle stories may not apply to me.)
"You can have my kids." (Oh, you were only joking? What was the funny part?)
"Maybe it wasn't meant to be." (Ouch.)
"God has other plans for you." (Really? Do you have some inside track with the Almighty? And what have I done to deserve that?
Understand and educate
Remember, those of us diagnosed with infertility didn't know much about it either until we were forced to take a crash course – acronyms and all. You don't want to break out the flash cards on your family, but you can encourage meaningful discussions, even if you have to help define terms now and again.
This isn't easy to do. You're already reeling from what feels like an endless loop of heartbreak and hope. You're more than likely amped up on hormones and short on patience. Sometimes family and friend's comments can seem downright judgmental, and you've probably been hard enough on yourself already.
Besides not wanting to be judged, you want family and friends to know that you need their support, their kindness and when necessary an indulgence – from a getting to take a pass on a family event to a quart of your favorite ice cream. Most important, you want to be heard – not marginalized or dismissed.
We all differ in how much outside involvement we want or need. Some people, like me, feel comfortable being pretty open about their infertility. Others prefer to keep their struggles private. Let your inner circle know what you prefer – and that your needs may change over time. Being clear helps everyone understand your boundaries.

Salcombe Yacht Club - South West Water Trophy Pursuit Race
Published 10:24 on 4 Dec 2018
The Salcombe Yacht Club South West Water Trophy Pursuit Race has become a regular precursor to the Club's Laying Up and Prize Giving Supper, and was held on the 1st December on a grey day, only to be matched by the de rigueur grey outfits of 20 or so of Salcombe's finest dinghy sailors.
Race Officer Julian Meek had spent considerable time splitting helmsmen of the principal fleets into degree of smugness, with the least smug setting forth a couple of minutes ahead of the super smug. Some of the less smug preferred to start late rather than admit to a lack of smugness, though the handicapper was proven in all cases to have got it right in the first place.
First away was the Laser 4.7 of 15 year old George Alexander, who sailed consistently in pressure, to lead the pursuing fleet into Yalton Creek who accumulated six capsizes between them at the gybe mark, allowing George to consolidate his lead.
On the beat out of Yalton, the leading Solos of Simon Dobson and Tim Law, and the Aero 7 of Tim Fells emerged from the pack; however Alexander held onto his lead at the Mill Bay mark, and also for the next lap to Crossways.
A high point of the race were the number of competitors making late attempts to win one of the yacht club's most prestigious trophies, the capsize belt; with Law, Fells and Cranford-Smith all gaining nominations.
On the final lap, some massive gusts saw the Aero pick up its skirts, with Law and the Phantom of Alistair Morley also surfing into contention on the run to the final mark.
By the time the 75 minutes were up, Tim Fells in the Aero 7 had pulled out a comfortable lead to take the winning gun, whilst Tim Law snicked second place from Morley by way of finding more pressure after completing his final tack. George Alexander finished an extremely credible 4th in the Laser 4.7 but there is no doubt that he will soon have his day.
1st Aero 7 1505 Tim Fells
