Even though we doubt it as the source, the windows 7, continue to give pop up warning that windows command processor need to be run, since we already suspect something, we choose no. it happened several times that it started to be annoying.
Looking in the net we saw that it was highly suspected as malware, but since we didn't detect it with norton antivirus. even after using malwarebytes and superantispyware we found nothing.
So after browsing for several solution pages, we saw that a program called combofix accidentally fix the problem. I say accidentally because from the forum, the solution expert use the program as the diagnostic tools not as the "cure" tool.
you can download the program from http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe or http://www.infospyware.net/antimalware/combofix/
Thanks to the guide from Elise from Romania…
Ok after you download it, just run the program, it will by default extract itself to system drive root (usually drive c), you just wait, it will run by itself and need minimal confirmation when it run.
After it finished, it will create a log file named combofix.txt, you can look inside for unusual entry for your system and do a necessary steps to change/delete it.
In my case I didn't do anything, after scan, because the popup is not there anymore…

"God of Carnage" by Yazmina Reza. Equinox Theatre/
A collaboration between ATM and Equinox Theatre Company, Dee Dee Van Zyl directed Yazmina Reza's edgy, Tony Award-winning comedy, God of Carnage. Kent Davis, Will Dickerson, Erin Roberg and Cara Wilder are featured in this production as two couples who meet to have a civil discussion about a playground fight between their sons. The conversation quickly degrades into a laugh-out-loud, train wreck of an afternoon among savages, where allegiances shift, realign and disintegrate, in what the Chicago Tribune called a "savvy and deliciously caustic new comedy".

Where I'm going with this:
Mrs. Jean Z was in fact, my kindergarten teacher, in 1969, the first of her 15 years in that school system. And this is the story of how I found out that she had passed away. It is a glurgy sort of Christmas story that mixes the speed of modern information-sharing with the ancient practice of human connection. Tell it around your turkey dinners this weekend when there is a lull in conversation.
This is not the first time I have written about this unexpected relationship, so I'll try not repeat myself and get right to the climax, blog-style.
I have a history of crushing hard on schoolteachers, which kicked off that late summer with the first of them. I had never had an adult I could have my own relationship with -- not a family member, not someone from church, but my very own grown-up who "got" me. Got me for me.
At the end of the year, she gave me a copy of Beverly Cleary's Henry Huggins as a sort of graduation gift. It was a used copy, had her daughter's name right inside it, but I didn't care. She had stricken Donna's name out and written mine, in that fine round "this is how we write your name" kindergarten teacher penmanship.
Years later, as a high school newspaper editor (like Blogging... with galleys) I wrote an editorial about the giving of that book in a "please thank your teachers" theme that reinforced my Bard of the Nerds status and was a big hit in the Faculty Lounge. But I did mean every word.
Which brings us up to 10 o'clock today. And this email... from my college alumnae office.
Dear [Caroline],
I am forwarding this e-mail to you from [DMcG] regarding the sad news of her mother passing and her desire to get in touch with you. I will let her know that I have done so. It is up to you, of course, to respond to her at this point. I hope you are doing well and have a wonderful holiday season. If I may help in any other way, please let me know.
Sincerely, [put-upon Assistant to the Director] Alumnae Relations
And that draws in that email, written 5:30 last night:
RE: Looking for [Caroline Bender]
Hello. Sorry to use this forum, but I am looking for a [Caroline Bender]. I think she is an alumnae. When she was in high school , she wrote a column about my mother's influence on her life. This week, my mother passed away, and we read that column at her memorial. I am hoping to tell [Caroline] of the blessing she has returned to our family.
Thank you for your time.Sincerely, Donna McG--Merry Christmas from the cast and crew of Drawing In. Love ye, one another.

"Minor misgivings aside, there is plenty to recommend The Devil and I; its overall aesthetic is complex and fablish, a rich tapestry yielding intricacies which gradually enfold the listener. Themes are uniformly grave and gloomy, from the noirish WW2 resistance tale of 'We Could Use Your Blood' and the dread-filled clairvoyance of 'Keep Your Eyes on the Road'."
– Lone Wolf – The Devil and I reviewed at The 405.
You sort of heard about Lone Wolf here first. OK, that's a big and probably incorrect claim, but I think you'll find reading back over previous No School Like Old School posts you'll find praise for Paul 'Lone Wolf' Marshall's rather handsome video for Keep Your Eyes on the Road. The song, as I attest in this review, is no slouch either.
As opposed to me; I am a slouch. Like a sloth on a couch. You might notice that my review of Lone Wolf's debut The Devil and I (great title by the way) was published at The 405 a fair old while ago; last month in fact. The main reason I've neglected posting word of these words is, as you'll notice scrolling all the way past the bottom, a commenter pulled me up on a few points. I thought it was suitable to let the argument run its reasonable course before linking the review up, as it'd be a bit unfair to leave it cut short. Speaking of unfair, I'd like to think once I make a point it stays made, and when I construct an analogy it's not to be taken literally. But anyway, the argument was enlightening and was all very civilised.
At any rate, at the time of writing, The Devil and I is quite justifiably The 405's Album of the Week which is all very jolly and that. Oh and if like me the cover reminds you of 'The Death of Socrates', that's because it should; it's by the same painter, 18th Century French Neoclassicist Jacques-Louis David. All things considered, The Devil and I is beautiful.

We are creatures of habit and our life revolves in patterns of behaving and thinking. From getting up to going back to bed we are surrounded by repetitive action and thoughts. While some of them give us a sense of security most of them keep us entrapped in a specific way of thinking and acting, thereby restricting our real freedom and choice.
At any moment in our life we are standing on the threshold of a new beginning! Moment to moment we could choose fresh and enter a new and possibly radically different life experience. And yet we mostly don'Äôt. Our beliefs and opinions restrict our choices and possibilities. Internalised fears determined by past decisions, solidified behavioural patterns and repetitive negative thinking keep us trapped in 'Äúeveryday mundane life'Ä? with unsatisfactory perspectives.
How often have we thought we really understood something which would result in making significant changes to our life, only to find ourselves back where we were in the beginning, not being able to follow through or even making the initial shift. Why is this so, what holds us back and is there a way out or forward?
Our first clue comes from Neuro science. Our brain consists of two distinctive parts 'Äì a dominant and a non- dominant part. The dominant part deals with the so-called functioning 'Äúreality'Ä?; is rational, logical and deals with analysing, thinking, time, space and speech. The non- dominant part is engaged when we use our creativity or in healing, and is busy with sensing, feeling and perceiving. Now the important bit is that the non- dominant part of our brain collects about 40 billion bites of information per second, but that the dominant part of our brain can only deal with about 2000 bites of information per second.
This clearly shows that in order to be able to deal with such an amount of information in a logical way, your 'Äúcomputer'Ä? part of the brain has to run them continuously through an array of understanding/recognition and sorting patterns, just to keep up with the speed of information coming in.
Every time we have a thought there is an immediate sensation in the body as well as an emotion and a judgement that gets stored in our body, mind/thought field and the emotional energy field. Painful or traumatic thoughts cause especially deep impacts as well as thoughts formed in non-ordinary states of mind (trance, birth, shock).
Repetitive thoughts become beliefs and densify to habitual thought patterns, always creating similar sensations and emotions and thereby causing similar physical reactions. Over time this results in postural restriction patterns, limited breath volume, as well as engaging re-occurring automatic loop thoughts. It's a bit like deepening the grooves on a record. The deeper the groove, the more likely it is one gets stuck in it and the more difficult it is to change.
Negative thoughts and their emotional response create tension and contraction in your body. You can try this for yourself. For a short while only look down rather than up and let your shoulders hang. Notice how your mood will become heavy and you start feeling 'Äúdepressed'Ä?. This equally works the other way round. If you are feeling depressed you will find yourself looking down with hanging shoulders. Now if you change your pattern and stand straight, always looking up or at least straight ahead for a while, your mood will change immediately. Similar physical information happen all day long without being noticed by you (especially on the subconscious level) and thereby creates your body posture and the way you walk, stand or move.
Equally every emotional response creates a tension field in your body. For example around your stomach when engaged in a power struggle with your boss or spouse, around your heart with emotional issues, headache with worries, shoulder tensions through fear etc. etc. the list is endless. If these incidences are re-occurring more often, the tension field starts to solidify till the body attunes itself to it permanently and you will have a problem, an illness or an organ failure.
The same goes for your breath. Every time we have a negative thought or strong emotion we tend to hold our breath. As discussed above repetitive action results in a pattern, in this case limited breath volume. Now breathing is our most important body function. We need oxygen for everything from fuelling every body function to the elimination of toxins. Diminished breath volume results in diminished body function (aliveness) and creates a permanent stress field in the body. Additionally the breath supplies us with pranic energy that nourishes and upholds our bio-energy field. Without this our body would simply collapse and cease to function, which actually happens in the event of death, after we have taken our 'Äúlast breath'Ä?.
Quantum physics has determined that depending on the expectations of a person conducting a specific experiment the outcome will vary, which proves that expectations determine the outcome. This clearly shows that thoughts are creative and that your beliefs are creating your reality.
Another law Quantum physics has proven is that energy follows attention, which means, what you are thinking about most is most likely to happen. This works well if you are engaged in thinking about positive outcomes or consciously creating your life, but unfortunately most of us are busy worrying or at least having lots of subconscious limitation thoughts.
Additionally what Neuro science has also determined, is that the brain cannot discern between things actually experienced and things solely imagined or visualised. The mental, physical and emotional impact are the same. So every time you are worrying about a specific outcome, you not only are more likely to create that unwanted event, but are also busy creating dis-ease in your body. Worrying also results in loss of a great deal of energy and you will find yourself continuously concerned and reacting about the past or the future, rather than acting from the Here and NowConsciously creating your life and your experience of it
Quantum physics states that we are actually 99.9 empty space and only 0.01% matter. Of this 99.99% is energy/matter and 0.01% consciousness which is the all determining factor. Consciousness can choose freely to be anything at any time, if unhindered by limiting thought/belief patterns. Quantum physics also states that at any moment in time an unlimited amount of possibilities or alternate life paths are available to us. All it takes is to determine what you want, support it with the right beliefs (conscious and sub-conscious ones) and step into it with certainty (faith) supported by a non-ordinary state of mind induced through conscious Breathwork.
Realising the difficulties we all are facing in creating the life we want and affecting real and lasting change, we have created a program that for the first time addresses all the limitations and challenges discussed above. We have called this program 'ÄúLife Mastery Program'Ä? and what we are aiming at is not just change but a 'ÄúQuantum Reality Shift™'Ä?.
Every pattern creates inflexibility, which stops the energy flow in the area concerned with the pattern.
On the 'ÄúLife Mastery Program'Ä? we assess where you are in your life and find out the restrictive patterns in your thinking, acting, breathing and being. Then we use effective tools to dissolve and counteract all these patterns. Finally we determine what you want and support you to get there through a new and amazing technique called 'ÄúQuantum Reality Shift™'Ä? .
We use Breathwork to open you breath to its full capacity, charge up your various energy bodies and organ bio- fields and release emotional tensions and stress. We apply Bodywork to release physical tensions and dissolve your body armour. We also look and address right walking, sitting and standing to reveal a new You.

Unless your content has catchy headlines, it's very unlikely that anyone will read it – whether it is your blog posts, whitepapers, or even emails. Did you know that Upworthy writes 25 headlines for every post? Do you know that 33% of emails are opened based on subject lines alone. That's the importance of writing catchy headlines for your content. There's no point in producing great in-depth content, if it doesn't have a great headline. No one will read it anyway. Here are 9 best practices and tips to write catchy titles for your posts, emails, and other content.
9 Tips to Write Catchy Headlines
1. Use Simple but Enticing words
Use simple words that everyone can understand. Avoid complicated words that are unknown to most people. They may make you look sophisticated but people avoid things they don't understand.
Also remember, headline is like a sales pitch to read your article. So use attractive words that entices viewers to click on your post title. Avoid using bland and boring words that simply state what your article is about. Also, avoid using negative words like never, don't and no.
Adjectives are a great way to make great titles – awesome, amazing, best, etc. In short, don't tell it to them. Instead, sell it to them.
2. Use Target Keywords with High Search Volume
Every headline you write must target a keyword that has a high search volume. Search volume indicates how many people are interested in a topic. It means that many people are actually looking for the information your provide in your post or article. Targeting High Traffic Keywords in headlines will ensure that your post drives good traffic via organic as well as paid search. There are plenty of keyword research tools to help you find the right high traffic keywords for your content.
Here's how you can use Google Keyword Planner to do keyword research.
3. Make it Bold and Attention-Seeking
Making a bold or shocking statement is another amazing way to increase click-through rates of your articles and email open rates. Think about how to make your headline sound opinionated, bold or controversial and word it in such a way that makes readers wonder "What? really?", or "No Way! I disagree. Let me see what's inside"
If your headline sounds controversial or too good to be true, chances are people will be tempted to read and find out for themselves. Here are couple of examples:
- Become a millionaire by age 30 – via Business Insider
- There's no such thing as a good Trump voter – via Slate

4. Use numbers in your headlines
Numbers are a great way to grab reader attention. Numbers inherently indicate that your article is backed by data, and written by an expert or someone who know what he's talking about. There are 2 ways to include numbers in headlines.
- Use it in list-based posts. E.g, "30 Ways to Become Rich in 1 Month". People love lists. List based posts somehow make readers feel that the content is useful and important. You can use it at the beginning of your headline .
- Use it as a percent to show growth. E.g "Lose 30% body weight in 10 days with these tips"
5. Do Competitor Research
See what are the headlines & titles used by your competitors. If they've written about the same topics, see if they are ranking well in Google, and how you can make your headlines better. You can simply google your target keyword and look at the headlines of the top 2-3 pages. You can also use content curation tools like BuzzSumo to find the most popular posts (based on shares & likes) and articles about your target keyword, and analyze their headlines. A great headline makes people to share and reshare your content with their audience.

6. Ask a Question
Questions are an awesome way to grab reader's attention because it piques their curiosity. It instinctively makes them want to find the answer which can't be done unless they click on your post. Even if they know the answer, they'll read your article to validate their thoughts & ideas about your question.
Here are some examples of question-based headlines:
- Can You Plan Your Wedding Without Going Over Budget?
- Is Your Hectic Schedule Leaving You Constantly Feeling Low Or Tired?
Bonus Read: 7 Best Free Blog Title Generators for Content Creation Ideas
7. Create Sense of Urgency
People are generally afraid of missing out on great deals and offers (called FOMO) and you can use this to your advantage while crafting headlines. Create a sense of urgency by making your headlines time-sensitive
Here are couple of examples of headlines that create urgency
- 10 Ways to Reduce Your Bounce Rate Today
- Are you ready for UK's Anti-Spam Law from July 1?
This works especially well in Ads. You can use create a sense of urgency by using words like "Hurry", "Today" in your ad copy, or even showing the amount of time left
8. Create a sense of intrigue
Another way to create catchy headlines is to reveal just a little bit of what's inside your article, without divulging your main point. Here are a few examples
The 1st headline mentions that Jimmy Kimmel has an update about his baby, but doesn't tell you what it is. The second one tells you that Chrissy Metz responded to body shamers but doesn't tell you how she did it. The third one makes you wonder if baby talcum powder can actually cause cancer. In all 3 cases, there's only one way to find out. You have to click the headline.
9. Write Multiple Headlines and Choose the best
Coming back to Upworthy's tactic of writing 25 headlines per article, make an exhaustive list of all headlines you can think of about your post. Think of ways you can mix and match them to create new headlines. Share your favorite 2-3 headlines with your team and friends, and ask them to pick their favorite. Finally, choose the most popular headline.
I can't exaggerate the importance of writing catchy headlines for your posts and articles. According to CopyBlogger, you should spend 50% of your time writing catchy headlines for your content. Hopefully, these best practices and tips help you write catchy titles for your content, increase click-throughs, grow your blog and drive more visitors to your website.

Our DNA is, in a sense, the operating code for our bodies. We can describe it as sequences of base-4 symbols. If we just had the documentation for the hardware and the operating system, we could change the code to fix bugs. We could correct copying errors. People could avoid passing on genetic diseases to their children.
Looking at the Next Generation Computer Interface Devices
We have all seen it happen in the movies. A person walks into a room and says "lights" and the lights in the room come on. Sometimes, these fictional characters can operate their computer through an interface built into the kitchen table while they have their morning coffee. Then, there is the character that pulls up a 3-D display in mid-air then interacts with it, molding and shaping the data with simple gestures. 10 years ago this may have just been fiction, but with today's computer interface advances, some of these "fictions" are quickly becoming a reality. The MIT Technology review wrote an article that highlights some of the interfaces that will someday become mainstream. Let's take a look at some of the highlights.
Securing the Internet of Things with OTrP
Security is vital to the devices on the IoT, and too often it's not strong enough. Botnets grab up connected devices that aren't properly secured. When in industry play critical safety roles, the stakes are even higher. A compromised device regulating a machine could make it catch fire. A dangerous condition could go unreported, or false alarms could draw attention and resources away from real problems. These devices need to aim for six sigma security — 99.999996% defect-free operation. Meeting this need will require a radically new approach to their software.
Exponential growth of computing power
Moore's Law, in its popular form, says that computing power doubles every two years. For a long time it's been true, but exponential growth can't continue forever. The trend is slowing down.
Coding for Cutting Edge Tech
What does it take to bring a software idea to life? Lots of skilled development work. The initial idea is vital, but as Thomas Edison once said, "Two percent is genius, and ninety-eight percent is hard work." Someone devises an idea, such as blockchains, augmented reality, the World Wide Web, or social networks. Turning it into a deliverable product takes the work of designers, software developers, and testers. Lots of work.

DaVinci Coders is Closing the Gap with New Tech-Centered Workspace
The DaVinci Institute has office space available to small - midsize tech companies and startups in order to spur growth in the Westminster Colorado tech industry. Their coding bootcamp is a great resource for these companies to find junior level developer talent and help continue their training with real world experience.

PRESS RELEASE: DaVinci Coders is Offering Pro Level Training in Apple's New iOS Language
Colorado bootcamp, DaVinci Coders is now offering professional level training to re-skill experienced web developers and software engineers in Apple's new iOS language, Swift. Not only will students learn how to code in Swift within the 2-week full-immersion course, but they will also learn how to improve their development techniques and skills, making them more efficient computer programmers.
PRESS RELEASE: DaVinci Coders Becomes First in the Nation to Grant MicroDegrees™
Colorado Coding Bootcamp, DaVinci Coders, is now set to offer an alternative credential, a Microdegree®, for its computer development and programming training courses
Louisville, Colorado – (April 9, 2015) – DaVinci Coders, a Louisville, Colorado-based coding school, is the first in the nation to be given Microdegree-granting authority for its 11-13 week courses on Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Swift/iOS, and Game Development.
Working as a launch-partner with Atlanta based Edevate, the Microdegree® is a digital credential certifying that someone has completed 1,000-hours of learning in a professional discipline including a minimum of 500 contact hours in certified educational programs. Completing a Microdegree® will be the academic equivalent of a full-year of undergraduate upper-level courses.
According to Gordon Rogers, President and Cofounder of Edevate, "Our goal is to reinvent credentialing. This is similar to the introduction of iTunes, which offered consumers the option to purchase a single track instead of the entire album."
Expanding the notion of credentialing, Edevate plans to offer Microdegrees to students completing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), coding schools, and other competency-based programs. The Microdegree™ is similar to Udacity's Nanodegree, but it is institutionally agnostic, meaning that it can be earned by combining programs offered through many different institutions, with the freedom to stack and blend different types of educational experiences.
Students who are granted a Microdegree™ will receive a secure PDF diploma and a digital badge linked to a transcript describing the educational experience.
Microdegree candidates can elect to complete an Educational Testing Services' Major Field Test. Major Field Tests are comprehensive undergraduate and MBA outcome assessments that measure critical knowledge and understanding in a major field of study including the ability to analyze and solve problems, understand relationships and interpret material from the major field of study.
"We feel very honored to be part of the effort to break the mold of traditional credentialing," says Thomas Frey, Executive Director of the DaVinci Institute. "Many of life's greatest experiences have been undervalued because of our narrow perspective of how to authenticate the value of learning. Over the coming years, we'll see a huge need to re-skill our workforce, and Microdegrees™ have the potential to become the most recognizable credential in the world."
For more information about the Microdegree program, people can either go to the website, Edevate LLC - edevate.com, or contact Gareth N. Genner, CEO of Edevate - Cell: 404-791-5973, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Album Title: Volume 2
By: Collective Order
Label: Self Produced
Released: 2017
Volume Two is the first all-original album by Collective Order. The band initially formed in 2016 to make Volume One, a self-produced recording of jazz standards. Upon releasing the album they realized the potential the project had to be a diving board for collaboration and creativity. For many of the band members, Volume Two was their first opportunity to compose/arrange music for a full-length studio album. Drawing from a roster of nineteen musicians, each track features diverse instrumentation within ensembles that span from a quartet to a thirteen-piece. Volume Two provides the listener with an eclectic musical experience, offering a vast and varied stylistic range. After receiving generous grant funding from the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council, the band was able to extend their time in the studio to two full days, a significant increase from the 6 hours they had to record Volume One. This allowed for the musicians to further refine their compositions during the recording sessions. Volume Two will be released worldwide on Friday, September 29, 2017.

Purpose Conference Round Up 2015
Last week I had the wonderful fortune of attending a brand spanking new conference in Sydney. Now not every day do you come across a conference where it feels like the organisers have gotten into your head, read your thoughts, seen your desires and created something just for you, but that's what the wonderful folk at Wildwon did with Purpose.
Held at the wonderful Eternity Playhouse (home to the Darlinghurst Theatre Company) - Purpose was a gathering of like minds from across Australia jamming together on theme of what it means to be a purpose driven business in today's crazy world. And let me tell you - it was inspiring.
Firstly, from a pure operational and design perspective - this was one of the most well put together conferences I've ever been to. The experience was lovingly crafted down to every last detail - this included custom made name tags, purpose driven toilet paper and even specifically selected animal noises in the toilets. No, I'm not kidding. It was a great example of what you can create when you know your user and intentionally craft their entire end to end experience of your product or service. Massive props to the Wildwon crew.
Despite the near flawlessness of how the conference was run however, it was something else that made it so special. The people. Every single person I met was purpose driven - whether they were at the beginning of their journey to purposeful work or well and truly immersed in it.
There was no one size fits all of what purpose looked liked for them. Some were working for not for profits or social enterprises, some were starting businesses, others were working in corporate or government, others were artists or environmentalists or writers. The point is - purpose comes in all shapes and sizes and there is no right or wrong way to seek it.
The sessions themselves and the conversations in between were also pretty darn inspiring. While I will struggle to fit the two whole days into a blog, here are a few points either from others or my own reflections that I feel are worth some consideration:
Shift is happening
I put this one first, because I think it's possibly the most exciting. As someone fuelled by purpose (and I'm guessing you may be too if you're reading this), I often find myself thinking "Is it just me? Are other people really getting on board with this?" Well I think I can safely say yes. They are. We may be at the beginning of the movement, but the very energy at Purpose demonstrated to me there is hope.
One of the talks by James Chin Moody - Founder and CEO of Sendle - spoke about the different waves of innovation and how we are entering the 6th wave. In this wave, things are shifting towards models that are far more purpose driven and consider the social and environmental costs and opportunities of doing business. So it's not just me - some smart people have backed this up.
Purpose can be a competitive advantage
Given the above, alongside the difficulty of standing out in today's overcrowded business world - purpose is actually a source of competitive advantage. A great example of this was the wonderful Who Gives a Crap - a toilet paper company who donate 50% of their profits to sanitation projects in the 3rd world.
Think about it this way - do you think of you asked any savvy business person would have backed a small, local toilet paper company to enter the market successfully against established giants in the environment of Australia's supermarket duopoly? Probably not. But that's exactly what Who Gives a Crap has done. How? Their purpose. The thing they stand for.
Purposeful Purchasing Power and Procurement
Linked to purpose as a competitive advantage, is one of the surprisingly interesting areas relating to purpose driven business that kept popping up over the course of the two days. Procurement. Yes, you heard me, I just said procurement is interesting.
There were some great examples of how the purchasing of sustainable, ethical and socially driven products and services can have a major positive impact. It's not just purchasing these types of products and services that can have a big impact however - actually writing procurement guidelines around employing social enterprises or socially driven products and services into procurement criteria can have huge flow on effects.
For example, Mark Daniels of Social Traders spoke of how a community housing estate he worked on transformed employment rates amongst residents by including a requirement for cleaning and security contractors to employ a certain percentage of people from community housing developments in the area.
Who are the influencers?
This brings up another point (mentioned by Abigail Forsyth of Keep Cup) which I think every purpose driven business should consider. Who are your influencers? Who are the people or organisations that you need to convince of your mission or vision? For Mark's example above - it was convincing suppliers (somewhat forcefully, yet cleverly by using procurement). For Keep Cup, a big influencer was baristas - the kings and queens of the coffee industry. Keep Cups had to be both practical and 'hip' enough to get them on board.
Intrinsic vs. extrinsic values and motivation
Influencing people is easier said than done, but important levers we can pull to this end are values and motivation. Both Dr Jason Fox (of Dr Jason Fox funnily enough) and Eleanor Glenn of Common Cause spoke from different angles on the need for focus on intrinsic values and motivation. For many purposes (with some exceptions such as repetitive tasks), focusing on the intrinsic is far more effective than the extrinsic.
Intrinsic values are those that are "inherently rewarding to pursue" eg. Self-acceptance or concern for others. Extrinsic values are those "centered on external approval or reward" eg. Social status or authority (Common Cause, 2015). Apparently flexing our intrinsic muscles is actually better for our wellbeing. Common Cause have some great free resources on values at http://www.commoncause.org.au. Also check out Dr Jason Fox's book The Game Changer.
Some other great points
As to not get too long winded, here are a few other points of note:
- Purpose is not always for good. Purpose can be about money, or power or greed. For purpose is the boat, it needs to have an ethical rudder.
- Your purpose can change. Pretty simple, but a good one to remember.
- Social enterprise is one of the hardest things you can do - you are trying to do two very difficult things in one: 1. Create a sustainable business. 2. Change the world. (Please don't let that stop you trying through, but it's good to know what you're up against).
- When in doubt, DO SOMETHING! Don't get stuck in inaction.
Finally…. Purpose is a privilege
This one really got me. It was a big ah-ha. Many of us are extremely fortunate to have been born where we were born, had the opportunities we've had, lived the lives we've lived. Generally speaking we have rights, enough food, shelter, safety. Our lives are mostly not at risk from disease, persecution or abuse. This is not the case for so many of the world's population. The mere fact we can think about doing work with purpose is a privilege many don't have and not something they would ever consider. This for me is all the more reason why those of us who do have this privilege, should embrace it with all we can muster. Audette Exel from Adara Group spoke of a quote from one of the people in her team that I think sums this up to perfection "We are safe - so now we must help others".

The news bulletin for ambulance officer members. In this issue ...
- Professional registration update - Are you ready for registration
- Registration fees announced
- Flu protection: tips to protecting yourself, your family and your patients
- Transfers - Did you know?
Are You Ready For Professional Registration?
United Voice recently met with the registration steering committee for its June meeting to discuss progress of the journey towards National Paramedic Registration.
One of the key requirements of registration is that you have adequate professional indemnity insurance in place.
As a member of United Voice you have and will continue to have professional indemnity insurance to ensure you meet these obligations.
It is important for members to begin preparing for registration by logging into the AHPRA website and signing up for regular updates.
For more information about qualifications, grandparenting or registration standards view the Paramedicine Board of Australia communique number 12.
Nationally, approximately 16 000 paramedics will be eligible for registration.
Don't leave it too late to get yourself informed and prepared.
Following on from the announcement of the annual registration fees and the one-off administration fee, United Voice has called on QAS to foot the bill for this cost in order to ensure they have a workforce ready and able come registration.
We acknowledge that the registration and admin fees are not dictated by QAS or any other employer, however United Voice strongly encourages QAS to oblige and ensure their current workforce is supported through this process.
United Voice supports the QAS flu strategy and encourages all members to be vaccinated.
QAS offer a variety of methods for staff to access free vaccinations:
• Medimobile
• Nurse Immuniser
• Health and Hospital Service (HHS) based/station clinics
For staff working outside of areas where these methods cannot be accessed there are a number of Pharmacy Clinics available or you can visit your local GP and be reimbursed by QAS for the cost of your vaccination. Check QAS portal for more information.
• Get a flu shot every year
• Use your Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (Standard + Droplet Precautions when patients have flu symptoms)
• Wash your hands thoroughly for at least 20 seconds or use an alcohol based hand sanitiser
• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze
• Dispose of used tissues immediately then wash your hands
• Stay at home if you have flu symptoms.
There are several types of transfers where a uniformed operational QAS officer may transfer from one establishment position to another?
- Redeployment. The voluntary appointment of an employee to a vacant position of equal or lower rank.
- Officer Initiated Lateral Transfer (Voluntary Transfer). A transfer requested by an officer to a position of equivalent or lower rank.
- Management Initiated Lateral Transfer. A transfer of an officer that is initiated by managers in response to operational necessity.
- Compassionate Transfer. A transfer requested by an officer as a result of an officer's personal hardship or other personal circumstances that are considered to merit such action.
- Voluntary Mutual Exchanges. A transfer mutually requested by two officers of equivalent rank.
- Appointment Transfer. A transfer as a result of appointment to a position advertised in the DES Gazette.
- Term Transfer Appointments. These are transfers for a mutually agreed term by both the officer and management, with a guarantee of return to the officer's station of origin or a mutually predetermined alternative.
- Safer Duties Transfer. Also known as alternative duties or lighter duties transfer. This is a transfer authorised by the QAS Medical Director as a consequence of injury, illness or risks associated with pregnancy of female officers where hazards connected with the work assigned to the officer make it inadvisable for them to continue their present work.
These transfers should not be confused with relieving, secondments or large scale recruitment and selection of student paramedic officers.
The most common type of transfer we receive enquiries about here at United Voice is Voluntary Transfers (VT).
It is important to remember that your application for VT expires every 12 months and the more popular the LASN the longer the VT list will be.

The story of Heather Locklear's arrest continues to get murkier, as new reports indicated that she was in a vicious altercation with her boyfriend when the police arrived. The former model/actress claims her man was strangling her when the cops showed up to their home.
A search warrant obtained by multiple organizations states that her boyfriend was on top of her with his knees pressed on her arms and hands on her wrists as a form of restraint.
Her boyfriend alleges that he was merely defending himself from Heather who was growing increasingly aggressive and wild. According to a representative for the Ventura County Sherrif's department, police could hear them arguing in the bedroom.
Upon their entrance, they noticed her boyfriend, Christopher Heisser, was standing beside their bed with his knees on her arms and hands on her wrists.
He was also bleeding from the nose and had red marks on his chest. As it was previously reported, the police arrived yet again to Locklear's home to remove lethal weapons following her threats against them.
The former actress allegedly told them she would shoot them if they ever came back. During their raid, they found a handgun registered in Heather's name.
When the police arrested the 52-year-old, she continued to be defiant including things like yelling and attempting to strike officers. As for the actresses' history, Heather supposedly has had run-ins with the law in the past including back in 2012.
It appears as though Locklear's fall from the graces of Hollywood has been precipitous. As you may know, she was one of the crucial starlets of the 1980's and 1990's.

A movie which is centred around the theme of the September 11 attack in the U.S. It is a simple story about Indians staying abroad, however a very fresh treatment of the same. It involves a simple love story, which transgresses the Hindu-muslim boundary prevalent in the South Asian community settled there.

Dragon Quest Heroes II introduced a feature in the game that has not been seen since the days of Shining Force; the ability to change classes. Although this might not seem like it's a big deal, it sort of is. First, there are only two characters that can change classes which are the protagonists, Teresa and Lazarel. Second, changing classes gives you access to a wide range of new abilities. However, a lot of the classes or vocations that are available predate characters from Dragon Quest Heroes I.
The class changing cousins
For example, Priest – King Doric, Mage – Jessica, Martial Artist – Alena etc. From experience, changing classes grants Teresa and Lazarel extra abilities; abilities that they cannot get on their own. Some of these abilities can be applied to not just dungeon areas but towns as well. Take the thief class for example, you have to completely master that before you're given the power to open locked chests.
Changing classes may grant your characters new abilities but it does take time to build that level up which could leave Teresa and Lazarel at a disadvantage which would also lead them back to their previous class. The silver lining is that the martial artist master will give you new abilities per level progression. Having said that, changing classes in Dragon Quest Heroes II, yay or nay; why, here are some things to consider.
Teresa and Lazarel are the only ones
For one, you don't know what a relief this is to only have your two main characters being able to change classes; can you imagine if all of your characters could; Teresa and Lazarel are the only ones that can change classes which is good because it gives you a chance to try different other classes with them. Both characters start off as Warriors but you'll be able to "transform" after you beat Cesar.
Beat Cesar and vocation change will be yours
The second reason why it is a good thing that only Teresa and Lazarel can change classes is because it is better to concentrate solely on leveling up the two key character with the "changed" classes vs. trying to level every character that changes class. Right now, I have my Teresa as the main character and she's a Lv.11 Mage while my Lazarel is a Lv.11 Priest. You can have Lazarel and Teresa master one class before starting another but that's totally up to you.
One thing about the thief class, you can only change your main character into a thief; there is no way to switch that out or ignore that option so remember that when and if you decide to go on the hunt for the Thief's Key.
The pros of changing classes
Now, there are dozens of benefits to changing classes and I can tell you that the reward system make the decision to do so exponentially worth it. One of the many benefits is the abilities, right now my Teresa has abilities of every element which does wonders for me because I'll always be ready to exploit an enemy's weakness on a moment's notice.
The benefits speak for themselves
Second, change of weaponry; I love this part of it because now I wield whips like Jessica from Dragon Quest Heroes I and perform some of the moves associated with the whip such as Twin Dragon Lash and Whipcrackle. In my opinion, the weapon change alone makes changing classes worth it. Also, you don't get just one weapon, you get 3 different weapons. Mage; staff, whip and wand. Warrior; twin swords, one handed swords and axes.
My advice, buy the strongest weapon of your chosen class(es) and switch them out after 2-5 battles so you can see how each weapon functions and how it enhances your character; do this only if you can afford to, if not then just stick to buying one weapon for your chosen class.
Changing back
The biggest pain in the butt about changing classes is the fact that you have to change back at different points in the game unless you choose not to. Leveling up classes is all well and good but there will come a time when you will have to change back; a boss fight with a tough boss for example. Plus, you have to go back to the vocations' priest and make it known that you want to change back to your previous class.
Sometimes you have to change back
Changing back to your previous class does not mean that you have to start over at again at Lv.1 which is one of the things I love about this feature; the same goes for when you change back into your secondary class but you will have had to work that specific class up to a specific level. For example, let's say you're changing back into your Warrior class which is at Lv.17 and a Martial Artist Lv.12; these are your class specific traits before you take on whatever boss you're facing. You challenge the boss as a Warrior and destroy then after the battle you're back to being a Martial Artist Lv. 12; when you change back to your Martial Artist class then it'll be at Lv.12 where you left it.
The cons of changing classes and the reluctance of why you might want to
There are cons to changing classes as well and you might find yourself reluctant to do so because of these significant disadvantages. For one, you have to start your new class at Lv.1 and level it up which can leave you at a disadvantage if you decide to "wear" your new job into battle against an all-powerful boss. Furthermore, putting yourself in harm's way with an underdeveloped class can get you killed many times over or will require you to blow through all of your healstones.
The Mage is powerful but has flaws
Another of many cons of changing classes is the skill point arrangement; yeah, you'll get your hands on new abilities that will complement your "new form", but those new abilities often don't hit as hard unless you invest A LOT of skill points into strengthening those powers and other traits which can be good and bad depending on how hard those powers hit and kill your enemies.
Finally, all of your stats for your new class is at their basic level which means you have to work substantially hard to get your new class up to par with your "starter class" – for lack of a better phrase. Of course, this might bring you to the conclusion that level-grinding is the answer which, let me tell you now, it's not so don't even think about it.
Even gladiators class has its limit
At first glance, the cons of changing classes outweigh the pros, but the choice is ultimately up to you so think about that before you decide to "sign on the dotted line".
Consult the Martial Master
Whether you're changing classes or choosing to stay with the one you started with, it's immensely advised that you consult the martial master who you'll find inside of the same building where you'll find the vocation priest. My advice, talk to the Martial Master after every 3-5 levels you gain because he'll have some additional powers and abilities to bestow upon your people which is a great help in battle.
Never ignore this guy!
You may not think that a +5 sword attack bonus is a big deal but I assure you that it makes a BIG difference when a character's survival becomes a matter of life and death. Unmoot point: Don't EVER neglect the Master.
Dragon Quest Heroes II have opened the door to class change which has not been seen since Shining Force II, changing classes is an avenue that you should definitely explore despite the fact that Teresa and Lazarel are the only ones that can change classes. However, changing classes comes with many benefits such as elemental power and healing.
Changing back is a whole other process altogether, it can be a pain but it can also save your life too when you're going up against bosses that might require the use of your "starter class" so as to increase your chances of success. The cons of changing classes, be it starting your new class over at Lv.1 or using every single skill point to increase the strength of those new powers, it's important that you weigh your options before you cross that bridge.
Consulting the Martial Master every 3-5 levels will keep you ahead of the game when you're sizing up your enemies and as I previously warned, ignore the martial master at your own peril. I'd love to hear what your perspective on my post is, what do you think? Feel free to leave me a message and tell me your thoughts and I'll get back to you immediately. Thank you and Happy Gaming.
R.J's last minute tip
Regarding class changes, you can class change one person and leave the other as their starter class so you won't be completely setting yourself up for failure. For example, if you're going to change Lazarel into a Martial Artist then leave Teresa as a Warrior until Lazarel's level in his secondary class grows substantially then change him back to a Warrior then class change Teresa.

I had an email from my lovely friend Bridget yesterday asking how she can get more iron into her 6 month old boy. She was advised to start solids early and he is enjoying his solids but only eating fruits and vegetables so far. I remember panicking when Freddie refused the spoon, convinced that there was no way he was getting enough iron and that this would effect his physical and mental development.
Iron is an essential mineral for good health and well-being. It helps carry oxygen to the brain and muscles, keeping us physically and mentally strong and helping children to learn. In addition our immune system needs iron to work well.
A baby or toddler that is 'iron deficient' may show some of the following signs:
- Pale
- Tired
- Irritable
- Poor concentration
- Susceptible to sickness
- Reduced weight gain
- Feels cold
- Difficulty sleeping
If you are at all concerned you should talk to your doctor who can prescribe iron medicine.
So how much iron do babies, toddlers and children need? Young babies and toddlers need plenty of iron in their diet. According to the New Zealand Nutrition Foundation the recommended daily iron intake is as follows:
- Babies (7-12 months) 11mg
- Children (1-3yrs) 9mg
- Children (4-8yrs) 10mg
Interestingly these levels are higher than the UK Department of Health Guidelines. Babies' iron stores begin to significantly deplete at 6 months so they will be more susceptible to iron deficiency. To prevent this their diet should include iron rich foods three or four times a day. At 6 months the NZ guidelines suggest introducing the following foods in a fine smooth, runny or puréed consistency:
- cooked: apple, pear, peach(no skins) uncooked: banana
- uncooked: avocado, cooked: kumara, potato, pumpkin, carrot, kamokamo, marrow
- baby rice cereals
- cooked puréed meat, pork, chicken and fish
- cooked puréed legumes and lentils
- cooked rice
Once your baby has had it's first tastes of fruits, vegetables and possibly baby cereals you can then start to introduce meat, fish, legumes and lentils by 7 months. The advice is to only try a new food every 2-4 days. Remember they won't like everything straight away or sometimes ever… Freddie still won't eat avocado! Annabel Karmel has a very helpful first tastes meal planner in her book The Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner. I didn't follow it to the letter but it gave me some ideas of where to start.
So here are a few possible ways to up the iron intake. I can't promise your baby will love meat straight away. I think, for us, introducing meat was the start of why Freddie rejected the spoon as he didn't like the texture or the taste. He will now happily gobble it down so they do all get there in the end!
- Some babies really don't like the metallic taste of meat so when you start to introduce it try to combine it with another food they really like. Mixing meat with apple or pear can be a real hit for some babies as it sweetens it and takes the metallic taste away.
- The grainy texture can put babies off so it is a good idea to make sure it is really well puréed. Mixing with other veggies and fruit can soften the texture. Purée the meat with it's cooking juice once cooked.
- If your baby is really fussy about the texture then one option is bought jars for the first stage as they are much smoother than the consistency you can achieve at home even with a moule.
- Chicken and fish are both sources of iron that are good starting points as they are easy to purée. Chicken thighs have higher levels of iron than chicken breasts.
- Add liver into your baby's food. You can keep a piece of liver in the freezer and then grate off a small amount when required. Avoid giving more that 15g (3 tsps) a week as it is high in vitamin A which in high levels can harmful.
- Follow meals with fruit for a source of vitamin C as this aids iron absorption.
- Enriched cereals can provide an initial source of iron and by mixing with breast milk or formula you can make them taste familiar. You could stir these cereals into foods your baby enjoys. This source is not absorbed as well as meat sources. One downside is that baby cereals do make some babies constipated.
- The advice is to offer meat 3 or 4 times a week. If you are concerned your baby isn't getting enough iron you can always offer iron rich foods more frequently, a little and often approach. Including meat also increases the absorption of iron from plant and legume sources.
- There are some helpful recipe ideas for all ages at beef and lamb new zealand and their handout 'Is your baby getting enough iron?' is very informative.
As your baby gets older and the variety of what they can and will eat gets bigger it is easier to include iron reach foods so stick at it. When they start on finger foods strips of meat or toast with marmite, followed by fruit are great finger foods that are very high in iron.
I hope that my response helps you Bridget and might help some other Mums out there feeling the same way. Let me know how you get on.

Satish Dhawan Space Centre First Launch Pad
The First Launch Pad[1] of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre is a rocket launch site in Sriharikota, India that began operation in 1993. It is currently used by two launch vehicles of the ISRO: the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). It is one of two operational orbital launch pads at the site, the other being the Second Launch Pad,[2] which opened in 2005. The first launch from this pad occurred on 20 September 1993, and was the maiden flight of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle carrying the IRS-1E satellite.
PSLV C35 on First Launch Pad
|Launch site
|Satish Dhawan Space Centre
|Short name
|Launch pad(s)
As of November 2013, 19 PSLVs (1 Failure, 1 Partial Success & 17 Fully Successful)[3] and 3 GSLVs (1 Failure & 2 Fully Successful) have been launched from here. The latest one was the successful launch of PSLV-C33 on 28 April 2016 carrying IRNSS-1G, India's seventh and last satellite of the Indian Regional Navigational system Satellites. Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a brief speech about the launch.
"The individual stages of PSLV or GSLV, their subsystems and the spacecraft are prepared and checked out in separate facilities before they are sent to launch pad for integration A-76-meter tall mobile service tower (MST) facilitates the vertical integration of the vehicle. The foldable working platforms of MST provide access to the vehicle at various elevations. A massive launch pedestal, made up of steel plates, acts as the base on which the vehicle is integrated."[4]
"The spacecraft is integrated to the vehicle in a clean room, set up inside the MST. However, in the case of GSLV, the spacecraft is interfaced with the payload adopter and then encapsulated in the heat shield in the preparation facility itself. The encapsulated assembly is moved to the launch pad for integrating with the 3rd stage of GSLV. The umbilical tower houses the feed lines for liquid propellants and high-pressure gases, checkout cables, and chilled air duct for supplying cool air to the satellite and equipment bay."[4]
The first launch pad is undergoing major expansion with PIF (PSLV Integration Facilities) project worth ₹475 crore (US$69 million) . Once complete, the first launch pad is expected to cater to around 15 launches per year. [5]
