Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, also known these days as inmate No. 40892-424, wished his wife a happy 22nd wedding anniversary Saturday.
In an email Patti Blagojevich posted on Facebook, the ex-governor quoted poet Robert Browning and waxed reflective about his marriage.
"I never really knew what it was to be happy and content until I began to walk through life with you," wrote Blagojevich, who is a little more than five months into a 14-year federal prison sentence for corruption offenses that included trying to sell a U.S. Senate seat.

TAIPEI (Reuters) - Six inmates who seized weapons from the armory at a Taiwan jail and took the warden and top guard hostage have committed suicide after an overnight standoff, a senior official said on Thursday.
The hostages, including Warden Chen Shih-chih and head guard Wang Shih-tsang, left the prison safely.
"The six inmates all committed suicide," Deputy Justice Minister Chen Ming-tang said in comments broadcast on Taiwanese television, adding they had shot themselves.
Media reports said the prisoners in the port city of Kaohsiung in southern Taiwan pretended to seek medical attention on Wednesday afternoon and took several guards hostage as they attempted to escape. They took rifles, pistols and bullets from the prison armory.
Chen, the warden, and top guard Wang exchanged themselves for the other hostages.
Authorities attempted to negotiate with the hostage takers, all serving sentences of 10 years or more, while hundreds of armed police surrounded the prison.

EDN Magazine Ranks Three Anritsu Instruments Among Year's Hottest Products
MS2830A Signal Analyzer, MG3690C Signal Generator, and MS272xC Handheld Spectrum Analyzers Included in Top 100 Products of 2010
Dec 28, 2010, 12:58 EST
RICHARDSON, Texas, Dec. 28, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company announces that its MS2830A signal analyzer, MG3690C signal generator, and MS272xC Spectrum Master™ handheld spectrum analyzers have been named to the EDN Hot 100 Products by EDN, a leading electronics engineering media source. The three test instruments are part of a list that includes "products that in 2010 heated up the electronics world and grabbed the attention" of EDN editors and readers.
The Hot 100 products were selected over thousands of new product announcements received by EDN throughout 2010. They were determined to be the best in their respective categories because they were the most innovative, and were the most significant technology offerings of the past year, according to EDN editors.
"EDN has always been recognized as one of the most respected media sources in the electronics OEM marketplace. To be named one of the top products of 2010 by the editors and readers is a tribute to the engineering teams and innovative thought leaders at Anritsu. It is recognition that Anritsu has designed transcendent instruments that are helping develop the next generation of electronics products," said Frank Tiernan, President, Anritsu Company.
Three Instruments with 'Hot' Designs
The MS2830A delivers best-in-class speed and accuracy over a frequency range of 9 kHz to 3.6/6.0/13.5 GHz in a cost-efficient design. Developed for integration and production environments, the signal analyzer allows manufacturers of 3G and 4G wireless devices and systems to increase production yield, reduce manufacturing costs, and have greater confidence in product performance.
The MG3690C series covers audio, HF, VHF, UHF, RF and microwave frequencies from 0.1 Hz to 70 GHz in single coaxial output and up to 325 GHz or beyond, with external multipliers. It combines best-in-class phase noise and broad frequency generation so engineers can conduct highly accurate tests on subsystems.
Weighing less than 8 lbs., the MS272xC series provides the broadest frequency range available in a handheld spectrum analyzer, thanks to the world's first 32 GHz and 43 GHz models. The MS272xC series is designed with an assortment of applications to test the RF physical layer, making it easier than ever for field technicians, monitoring agencies and engineers to monitor over-the-air signals, locate interferers, and detect hidden transmitters.

Beautifully crafted
These Mala beads are beautiful. They have brought me a sense of peace as I use them. I feel the serenity of their creator as I can sense the dedication of they're work. Definitely worth every penny.
Work of Art
This mala is unlike others I have purchased, it almost seems like it has been made years ago, rather than something put together recently. I love the feeling that it has such a strong heritage, and is made with yak bone. I feel like it is a work of art, not just a meditation tool, and it has so many attributes to strengthen the meditation aspects. It is beautiful and powerful.

The Nissan Leaf Nismo RC electric race car is one of the first genuine race-spec electric cars ever constructed. So what? Well this special Leaf is providing a sneak peak into the likely future of motorsports, and is proof that there will come a time when motorsport fans talk about volts, amps, and kilowatt-hours instead of horsepower and fuel capacity.
Nissan still hasn't worked out exactly where it will campaign its electric racer but that hasn't stopped its development as evidenced by a recent shakedown. Following its official debut at the recent 2011 New York Auto Show, the Leaf Nismo RC has become a rolling laboratory for the accelerated development of electric cars and aerodynamic systems. It is also the first serious platform for the development of new green motorsports series and is giving Nissan a head start in this area.
The Nismo RC is all stealth with its carbon fibre bodywork, three door body and silent electric powertrain. It's longer and wider than the production model Leaf but uses a relocated version of the same drivetrain as the street-going model.
The video below shows the electric race car's first public shakedown test at Sodegaura Forest Raceway in Japan. Check out the clip below.

The UK's Guardian newspaper revealed on Monday that foreign politicians and officials had their computers monitored and their phone calls intercepted by UK security services whilst in London in 2009 for two G20 summits.
British government accused of spying at G20 summits
British government accused of spying at G20 summits
The information was said to have been obtained from top-secret documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the ex-CIA whistleblower who previously revealed details of the US National Security Agency's PRISM programme, which monitored communication via direct access to the systems of Google, Facebook, Apple and other US internet giants.
The newspaper accused the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) of a number of intelligence collecting techniques, including setting up internet cafés with email interception programmes and accessing the delegates' BlackBerrys to monitor their emails and phone calls. The information collected was then relayed live to 45 analysts, whose findings were in turn being relayed to British representatives at the G20 meetings.
Whilst the PRISM programme was defended as crucial in the fight against terrorism, the Guardians claims that the spying at the G20 summits was "for the more mundane purpose of securing an advantage in meetings".
The documents indicate that the operation was approved at a senior government level and that it ran for at least six months.
It seems likely that this will put a strain on the G8 summit, which began on Monday in Northern Ireland and includes delegates from countries who were present in 2009 and who will now no doubt have questions regarding the leaks for Prime Minister David Cameron.

Force.com provides powerful, robust, and secure functionality for sending and receiving email. You can configure the platform to execute complex Apex Code logic when an email is received, and you can use the email services to send out emails from within the platform. Force.com handles most of the messaging chores for you, letting you focus on your business logic.
This article describes how to configure the email functionality on Force.com and how to build Apex classes to send and receive emails.
Email is a fundamental part of everyone's business life, so it makes sense to include it as a part of your business applications as well. Force.com provides robust services for reacting to incoming email and for sending email as part of your business application.
This article examines both aspects of email. Receiving Email looks at how to set up an email address on Force.com and create an Apex class to process incoming emails. Sending Email looks at how you can send emails from the platform.
Email services are special-purpose Force.com processes that use Apex classes to process incoming email messages. When you set up an email service, you generate a special email address on which Force.com will receive your emails. You also supply an Apex class adhering to a particular interface. The email services will then invoke a method on the Apex class whenever an email is received on the email address.
Because email services accept standard email, they open up the possibility to use any email client to interact with your applications using simple text, rather than with structured web services. Since they result in Apex logic being executed, the emails can be made to invoke any number of actions. For example, you can use anything from an iPhone to a web client to a legacy application to create invoices, launch workflows, or generate email threads.
As inbound emails can cause material business changes, Force.com allows you to enforce additional security:
The rest of this section shows how to set up your inbound email service and write a simple Apex class to react to incoming email. Setting up an email service is simple:
Let's dig in!
An Apex class that acts as an inbound email handler simply needs to implement the
Messaging.InboundEmailHandler interface. The interface defines a single method:
Messaging.InboundEmailResult handleInboundEmail(Messaging.inboundEmail email, Messaging.InboundEnvelope envelope)
The message contents are available through the
envelope stores the to and from address.
Here is an example that shows how you can use these objects to access different fields in the incoming email. This class processes incoming email as follows:
Here's a walk through of the entire class, a few lines at a time: First, the class implements the
Messaging.InboundEmailHandler interface, and all the activity happens in the
handleInboundEmail() method.
global class EmailDemoReceive implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler {
global Messaging.InboundEmailResult handleInboundEmail(Messaging.InboundEmail email,
Messaging.Inboundenvelope envelope) {
As a good practice:
Account account;
Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = new Messaging.InboundEmailResult();
try {
The email and envelope arguments have several public attributes you can access directly. First, let's grab the email's subject and create a new account record if it doesn't already exist.
// Look for account whose name is the subject and create it if necessary
if ([select count() from Account where Name = :email.subject] == 0) {
account = new Account();
account.Name = email.subject;
insert account;
} else {
account = [select Id from Account where Name = :email.subject];
Now we'll process the email addresses in the CC:
// Convert cc'd addresses to contacts
for (String address : email.ccAddresses) {
Contact contact = new Contact();
Matcher matcher = Pattern.compile('<.+>').matcher(address);
// Parse addresses to names and emails
if (matcher.find()) {
String[] nameParts = address.split('[ ]*<.+>')[0].replace('"', '').split('[ ]+');
contact.FirstName = nameParts.size() > 1 ? nameParts[0] : '';
contact.LastName = nameParts.size() > 1 ? nameParts[nameParts.size()-1] : nameParts[0];
contact.Email = matcher.group().replaceAll('[<>]', '');
} else {
contact.LastName = address;
contact.Email = address;
// Add if new
if ([select count() from Contact where Email = :contact.Email] == 0) {
contact.AccountId = account.Id;
insert contact;
You can even access text and binary attachments:
// Save attachments, if any
for (Messaging.Inboundemail.TextAttachment tAttachment : email.textAttachments) {
Attachment attachment = new Attachment();
attachment.Name = tAttachment.fileName;
attachment.Body = Blob.valueOf(tAttachment.body);
attachment.ParentId = account.Id;
insert attachment;
for (Messaging.Inboundemail.BinaryAttachment bAttachment : email.binaryAttachments) {
Attachment attachment = new Attachment();
attachment.Name = bAttachment.fileName;
attachment.Body = bAttachment.body;
attachment.ParentId = account.Id;
insert attachment;
And of course, you can access the body of an email as well. In this case we're assuming a plain email (not an HTML one) and use the plainTextBody field:
// Turn email body into note
Note note = new Note();
note.Title = email.fromName + ' (' + DateTime.now() + ')';
note.Body = email.plainTextBody;
note.ParentId = account.Id;
insert note;
Here we explicitly indicate success or failure by setting the success field of our InboundEmailResult object.
result.success = true;
} catch (Exception e) {
result.success = false;
result.message = 'Oops, I failed.'
return result;
If a failure was indicated (if the success field is set to false) then the platform automatically rejects the inbound email and sends a reply email to the original sender containing the message specified in the message field.
That's all it takes! Of course, we've written a reasonably complex class here, but there's really only a single method to implement, and the framework makes all the bits that matter (the email addresses, the email body, the attachments and so on) very easily accessible.
Next, you need to define the email service. This establishes an email address, which you can then tie to the Apex class that you've just written. Define the email service by logging into your environment:
You'll see something like the following screen:
Filling this in is straightforward:
That's it, you've created your first email service. But you still need to generate an email address on which Force.com will listen for incoming emails. To do that, select New Email Address and fill as follows:
You will see a new email address that Force.com will monitor: emails received on this address will trigger the associated Apex code.
That's it! Any email sent to the above email address will now result in the Apex class being executed. You would typically alias this email address behind one in your own domain.
In summary, to handle inbound emails all you have to do is: · Create an Apex class that implements Messaging.InboundEmailHandler · Create an email service that binds to that Apex class · Create one or more email addresses, associated with the email service
Let's now turn to outbound email. You can also have Force.com send emails on your behalf. This can happen wherever Apex logic runs, essentially in triggers, email services, Visualforce controllers, and so on.
Emails sent by Force.com can be one of two types:
Here are some key differences to help you choose between the two:
|Multiple recipients?
|Personalized body?
|Yes (single body only)
|Special permission needed?
|Yes, has to be enabled
|Merge fields?
|Personalized merge fields?
|Yes (only one record at a time)
|Template possibilities?
|Text/HTML/Visualforce/Custom Templates
|Text/HTML/Custom Template
To illustrate how you can use these two email mechanisms and different templates, here are two triggers that both respond to updates of Case records by sending emails. The first sends a single email using a Visualforce template. The second sends a mass email using a text template. But first we must discuss what governor limits apply to sending email.
There are two sets of limits that you must consider when architecting your outbound email strategy. The first is that your org has a strict 24-hour limit around how many outbound emails can be sent in that 24-hour period. This is is a little to complex to discuss here, and is well explained in the Apex Code Developer Guide's page on execution and governor limits.
The second limit is a governor limit. Emails are sent using the
Messaging.sendEmail() method. Governor limits allow no more than 10 invocations of this method "per transaction". Just as it is imperative in Apex to not invoke DML or SOQL in a for loop, it is probably even more so with
sendEmail() as a mere 11 records will breach this limit.
Now that we know the ground rules, our first trigger sends email to the contacts for the cases using a Visualforce template. The logic here happens to be inside a trigger, but can be anywhere you execute Apex.
First thing to do is get the email template ID for use in constructing our email messages. This is done by querying for the template by name (in this instance). Templates are convenient for building the messages, but they are optional: you can also directly set the message body with
setHtmlBody() or
setPlainTextBody(). At this time we will also create an instance of
List<SingleEmailMessage> to batch up the messages we want to eventually send.
trigger EmailDemoSendSingle on Case (after insert) {
final String template = 'EmailDemoSendSingleTemplate';
Id templateId;
try {
templateId = [select id from EmailTemplate where Name = :template].id;
} catch (QueryException e) {
...handle exception if no template is retrieved, or create condition to set email body in code
List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage> messages = new List<Messaging.SingleEmailMessage>();
Next, the code will iterate over the cases in question. However, because of the need to populate related contact data there is a need to requery and populate the related contact information.
Each iteration requires instantiating
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage, setting required data into that object, then adding it to the list of messages to send.
During the construction of each message, you optionally call
setTargetObjectId() and
setWhatId() on the message if you have merge fields in the template. If you're using a Visualforce template (such as this example), the id in
setTargetObjectId() corresponds to the recipient of the email. This will allow merge fields like
{!recipient.FirstName} to resolve properly. The id in
setWhatId() corresponds to the object used for the relatedTo object used in the merge fields. In this example, these correspond to a Contact and Case record respectively.
// Send single mail to contact of each updated case
for (Case uc : [select ContactId, Contact.Email from Case where Id in :Trigger.new and HasOptedOutofEmail = false]) {
Messaging.SingleEmailMessage message = new Messaging.SingleEmailMessage();
Finally, you set the addresses (in this case just one contact per case) directly and send the email. You can specify to, cc, and bcc separately. Once complete add the new message to the list of messages to send. And "outside" of the for loop, call
sendEmail() on the list.
message.setToAddresses(new String[] {uc.Contact.Email});
The Visualforce template is a regular Visualforce document that uses the merge fields recipient and relatedTo as explained above. This builds a simple notification body.
Note the use of the special <messaging:emailTemplate> and associated Visualforce tags.
That's it! If you create a new Case record, the trigger will fire, which will in turn send off emails to a number of contacts, each with a personalized email generated from the Visualforce template.
Mass email differs from single emails mainly in the way that they specify the merge fields and addresses. The following code contains a trigger that responds to Case record updates. Unlike the previous trigger, this code will email all the contacts for the Account related to the Case.
You start by creating an instance of MassEmailMessage. As with the single email case, you select the template that has the merge fields.
trigger EmailDemoSendMass on Case (after update) {
final String template = 'EmailDemoSendMassTemplate';
Messaging.MassEmailMessage message = new Messaging.MassEmailMessage();
message.setTemplateId([select Id from EmailTemplate where Name = :template].Id);
Unlike single emails that use just one TargetObjectId, mass emails take a list of ids through setTargetObjectIds(). Force.com will then send out individual emails to each of the addresses corresponding to the ids, also matching the id to the merge fields in template. Note though that the ids should all be of the same type (for example all Contacts, Users, or Leads) – you cannot mix them.
If you choose Contacts for the TargetObjectId (as in this example), you can also optionally specify a corresponding WhatId list to map to the template merge fields.
// Send mass email to contacts of account associated with each updated case
for (Case uc : Trigger.new) {
Contact[] contacts = [select HasOptedOutofEmail, Id from Contact where AccountId = :uc.AccountId];
Id[] targetObjectIds = new Id[] {};
Id[] whatIds = new Id[] {};
for (Contact c : contacts) {
Finally, you do not need to specify the addresses because Force.com will pick those up based on the TargetObjectIds list.
Messaging.sendEmail(new Messaging.Email[] {message});
Here's the corresponding text template. It generates the same body as the Visualforce template above, but note the difference in the way the two templates define the merge fields. You cannot use Visualforce templates to define mass email templates.
That's it! When a Case record is created and the trigger runs, a number of emails is sent out. Each email will have its own set of merge fields set, drawn from the list of IDs found in the TargetObjectIds and WhatIds lists.
As with any code on Force.com, you should write test cases. But how do you test the inbound email handler?
Well, it turns out to be quite simple - simply invoke the method as if the email service had invoked it. This involves setting up your own email and envelope by instantiating the correct objects. Here's a sample test class:
private class EmailDemoReceiveHandlerTests {
// Create a new email and envelope object
Messaging.InboundEmail email = new Messaging.InboundEmail();
Messaging.InboundEnvelope env = new Messaging.InboundEnvelope();
// Set up your data if you need to
// Create the email body
email.plainTextBody = 'This should become a note';
email.fromAddress ='email@example.com';
String contactEmail = 'firstname.lastname@example.com';
email.ccAddresses = new String[] {'Jon Smith <' + contactEmail + '>'};
email.subject = 'Dummy Account Name 123';
EmailDemoReceive edr = new EmailDemoReceive();
Messaging.InboundEmailResult result = edr.handleInboundEmail(email, env);
System.assert (result.success, 'InboundEmailResult returned a failure message');
Account [] accDb = [select ID from Account where name=:email.subject];
System.assertEquals (1, accDb.size(),'Account was not inserted');
Contact [] cDb = [select firstname,lastname from Contact where email=:contactEmail];
System.assertEquals (1, cDb.size(),'Contact was not inserted!');
Contact c = CDb[0];
System.assertEquals ('Jon', c.firstName);
System.assertEquals ('Smith', c.LastName);
Note [] nDb = [select body from Note where ParentID=:accDb[0].id];
System.assertEquals (1,nDb.size(), 'A note should have been attached');
System.assertEquals (email.plainTextBody, nDb[0].body);
The above code creates an email and envelope, as well as an instance of our email handler,
EmailDemoReceive. It then invokes the
handleInboundEmail method, and runs a series of tests. The tests ensure that the code behaves appropriately - in this case testing that an account was created with the subject of the email, that contacts were created for the CC field, and that a note was attached to the account with the body of the email.
As explained in How to Write Good Unit Tests, this is by no means a complete test class. For example, we don't have any test methods for negative conditions (perhaps the code misbehaves when an email is sent without a body, or when the CC list is empty, and so on). However, the above code should give you a good idea of how to create such tests for an email handler.
Force.com has all the necessary services to easily receive emails and send single or mass emails. The platform does almost all of the underlying messaging work for you. For responding to incoming emails, you simply create an inbound email handler, bind it to an email service and an email address, and you're away. For outbound emails, you either create a single or mass email, bind that to a template, and optionally add logic to locate objects used to define the merge fields.
Earlier, we noted that the
EmailDemoReceive try/catch block was not sufficient for handling exceptions. The basic problem is that because we catch the exception, the Apex method as a whole "succeeds", and so a transaction doesn't roll back. As a result, database inserts that occur within that block may still be committed. If that isn't the intent, a different action may need to take place (for example, throwing an exception, or using database save points.

Basic Cooked Dried Beans
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: It is your preference whether to soak or not to soak. MH likes to hydrate the beans before cooking; CH believes that with the gentlest cooking you can jump right in without a soak. Look for the "Best Used By" date when buying a package of dried beans. The fresher the beans, the more quickly they'll cook. One pound dried beans will yield about 6 cups of cooked beans. Cooked beans freeze beautifully. —The Canal House
Makes: 9 cups of beans
cups dried beans, unsoaked or soaked for 4 hours or overnight
onion, halved
1 to 2
cloves garlic
branch fresh thyme, optional
bay leaves
Really good extra-virgin olive oil
- Drain the beans and put them into a medium, heavy-bottomed pot. Cover them with cold water by 4 inches or so. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, if using, bay leaves, and a pinch of salt. Bring the beans just to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low and very gently simmer them until they are swollen and tender, 30 to 90 minutes (or more), depending on the freshness of the dried beans. The beans should remain submerged while they cook, so add more water to the pot if you need to.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in a generous pinch of salt. Add a good glug of olive oil. Let the beans cool to just warm or to room temperature in the cooking liquid. (The beans will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.)

In Korea LG Electronics has a new campaign featuring a QR Code TV ad advertising the LG Optimus Vu using LG U+ LTE. The ad (video below) revolves around the tag line "If you haven't smiled lately scan this…" with the QR Code resolving to "fun videos". At the time of writing the QR Code resolves to a long video but I suspect that the video will be changed regularly with a selection from this channel. Apart from the fact that a large brand is using QR Code TV ads what interests me about this campaign is the method of redirection and I have written more about it at the end of this post.
The Redcirect:
The redirection is completed using a meta refresh which I have not seen for some time and has been deprecated for many years by the W3C. However it still works. The QR Code decodes as http://www.lg.co.kr/qr/01.html and the source code for that page is as follows:
<title>LG OPTIMUS</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=euc-kr">
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="0;URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vmy2oMDrjOY" />
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
This code's meta refresh tag redirects the browser immediately to the YouTube URL because the refresh time is set to zero. This means that LG can change the QR Code's destination by simply modifying one line of html code and replacing the existing URL for another. Personally I still prefer a server side redirect but if you are happier modifying html rather than an .htaccess file you can try doing what LG does.

The ability to persuade is crucial in the business world. On a day-to-day basis, you need it to convince employees to work toward company goals or to persuade colleagues or clients to consider your ideas and suggestions. If you can master the art of persuasion, you can not only win the support of others, but you also can unify your team and encourage them to work together.
Know Your Audience
How you craft your message will depend on whether you're sending a memo to your staff or giving a presentation to the entire company. Effective persuasive communication addresses the audience's needs, values and desires. Audiences respond better to persuasive communication when they feel the person speaking is similar to them in some way, whether it's in age, occupation or socio-economic status. If you address what's important to your audience, they'll see you as someone who is like them and understands them and will be more receptive to your message.
Get the Audience's Attention
Before you can persuade an audience, you must first grab their attention and demonstrate why it's worth their time to listen to your idea or suggestion. Start with an anecdote that illustrates the point you're trying to make or with a surprising fact that tells them why what you have to say is important to them. For example, if you're trying to persuade company management to adopt a no-smoking policy, begin with a statistic regarding how many sick days smokers take compared to non-smokers.
Establish Credibility
If you want to persuade an audience, you must first demonstrate your credibility and authority. People are more receptive to someone they view as an authority figure, whether that person has direct authority over them, such as a boss, or if the person is an authority in his industry or profession. Only attempt to persuade others of something you can prove you have first-hand knowledge of or experience in. Back up your claims with statistics or examples.
Tailor the Message to the Medium
What persuades in writing doesn't necessarily persuade when delivered verbally. For example, you can include numbers and statistics in a written document because readers can take their time interpreting the data before moving on. However, if you bombard listeners with these same figures during a speech, you may confuse them and lose their attention. Face-to-face interaction often works better for persuading others, because you can create a personal connection with your audience and use eye contact, gestures and other nonverbal signals to maintain their attention.
Convey Benefits
It's easier to persuade an audience when you can show them how your proposal benefits them. If you're asking your staff to work overtime during your busy season, describe how the extra money generated will fund additional employee perks or physical improvements to the workspace. If you're trying to convince your supervisor to let you work from home part time, mention studies illustrating that employees are more productive when allowed to telecommute. If you're pitching an idea to a client, illustrate how using your idea will boost the company's image and attract more customers.
Body Language
With verbal communication, your demeanor influences your ability to persuade as much as your words do. If you cross your arms, your audience may perceive you as hostile or angry. If you fidget, they may see you as weak or uncertain. If you rarely make eye contact, they may think you're hiding something. To sell your message to your audience, connect with them by maintaining eye contact. Project authority and confidence by standing up straight. Demonstrate your sincerity and openness by relaxing your arms and keeping them at your sides -- unless you're using them to gesture -- instead of crossing them behind or in front of you.

Forum Post: Why are we being monitored by opposition?
Posted 6 years ago on June 1, 2012, 8:05 p.m. EST by elf3
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
I can't figure it out - they monitor us day and night - I'm not out there lurking on their websites - it's just plain fucking weird - does anyone here agree? I have a purpose in being here - I feel strongly about it (But they feel there is nothing wrong with the system so I can only draw the conclusion that their feelings can't really be so strong as to give a shit about us) What is going on - who are these people ? Why do they care to bother with us? Are they political advisers? Are they afraid occupy might have some real sway? I'm trying to get it really - is it Fox news trying to gussy up some bad quotes on us? Why would anyone be spending all their time or energy analyzing a movement they believe has no point or clout? What are our actual numbers so as to draw so many "opposers" to debate? All I can say is I've never even been blogging to the people I oppose, ever and I really HAte the people I hate, but still can't be bothered to seek them out - so.... Can someone help me out with this? I think it might be that our numbers are massive - and it's political strategists and Wall Street monitoring us and debating us trying to make it seem like we aren't as large as I know we are. This way when the candidate they program in through the voting machines wins it will seem like he had actual supporters.

Rising 245m (800ft) on Mexico City's famous Paseo de la Reforma, Torre Reforma (Reforma Tower) will be the tallest building in Latin America. When completed, the US$100m tower also aims to be one of the greenest.
The 57-storey tower is a mixed-use project with approximately 45,000m² of floor space for offices, a conference centre, a sports facility, and retail space.
Ten below-ground levels will house parking and building services systems. Its triangular shape is designed to give tenants optimum views of nearby Chapultepec Park. The tower's slimness will contribute to energy efficiency goals by maximising the use of natural light to illuminate interior spaces and permitting the building to be naturally ventilated when outdoor conditions are favourable.
With its sustainable design and energy-saving systems, Torre Reforma is the first tower in Latin America to achieve LEED Platinum designation.
Designed for Mexico City's high seismic activity, the building will be able to withstand a 2500yr seismic event while achieving a life safety performance level; making it one the most secure buildings in the region.
Arup is providing structural, geotechnical, and complete building services engineering (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing), along with consulting services for fire protection and life safety, façades, acoustics, sustainability and LEED certification.
We evolve with the changing aspirations and challenges of developers, owners and occupants.

Volunteer technical experts are the heart of the AIAA standards program. Each Committee on Standards (CoS) and U.S. Technical Advisory Group (TAG) has a defined scope of work and operates under established policies and procedures.
An AIAA CoS makes recommendations concerning the need for new standards and other technical publications within its area of competency and expertise, determines when a document needs to be revised, drafts new and revised technical documents, and develops committee and public consensus on those drafts.
U. S. TAGs develop national consensus on International Standards and Technical Reports out for comment or vote. TAGs also make recommendations regarding other aspects of international standards participation such as U.S. positions on international new work items, formation of US delegations to international committee meetings, and nomination of US experts to international working groups.

Kylie Jenner Rocks The Same Plaid Coat As Ariana Grande
Both Kylie and Ariana have been spotted wearing this warm weather must-have! Keep reading to find out where you can get the exact coat and VOTE for who YOU think wore it better. VOTE.
Joining her sister, Kendall Jenner, in NYC, Kylie was seen out and about wearing an adorable plaid coat to keep her warm in the Big Apple. And just a few weeks ago, singer Ariana Grande was also seen wearing the coat while in Holland for the European Music Awards. We love how both of these ladies rock the coat in different ways. Kylie went for a more rocker chic look in shorts, black stockings, and boots, while Ariana went preppy, wearing a white blouse and pointed-toe heels. We loved the coat so much, we got the details where you can get this stylish outerwear for yourself!
Kylie Jenner's Plaid Coat — Get The Look:
Both girls wore Topshop's Collarless Check Wool Jacket in red. This coat is great because, as Kylie and Ariana show us, it's incredibly versatile for practically any individual style.
It's cut for an urban, modern look since the silhouette is a little on the boxy side, but the plaid is very vintage-inspired and could easily be preppy, Clueless chic. Kylie styled her coat with a little more attitude, while Ariana opted for a youthful, school-girl look. Because it's very structured, this jacket could easily go from desk to dinner. It also adds a little pop of color against the wintry black ensembles we always find ourselves wearing this time of year.
So, who do you think wore it better? VOTE and be sure to scoop it up!

3. Identity, Disclosure, and Representation in the Arts
Lights! Camera! Access! 2.0/The Disability Narrative Imperative
Lights! Camera! Access! 2.0 (LCA2.0) in an innovative initiative adopted by the Clinton Global Initiative as a two-year commitment to action in three areas:
1) increased employment in front of and behind the camera/keyboard/microphone ad stage:
2) improve authentic disability portrayals across delivery platforms AKA "The Disability Narrative Imperative" working with The ADA Legacy Project's "DisBeat" and disability grass roots leaders to develop authentic storylines and develop the next generation of storytellers and filmmakers with disabilities and their mentors so that professionals with disabilities in media will be encouraged to self-ID.
3) increasing accessible entertainment with architectural and website access, captions and audio descriptions.
LCA2.0 is a dynamic collaboration of media (TV, film, advertising, theatre and interactive companies, networks, studios, agencies, industry associations, among others) academic, youth, diversity organizations serving youth and veterans with disabilities.
Our strategies include:
1) Co-branded internships, scholarships and apprenticeships such as our CBS News/Lights! Camera! Access! 2.0 internship - now in its 2nd year;
2) Quarterly webinars as overviews to industries such as TV, film, advertising, theatre and interactive for up to 1,000 youth, students, college grads and vets with disabilities on the basics of each industry; including building resumes, demo reels, interview skills and "how to market yourself" workshops and
3) Location-specific resume review/speed interviewing in top media markets such as October 31 at CUNY and in November in Los Angeles. Future markets include DC, Chicago, Boston, SF and Atlanta.
Our primary youth partners are National Disability Mentoring Coalition, PolicyWorks, Deaf Film Camp and SIGNmation - we invite you to join us and participate, so youth with disabilities, particularly from historically excluded communities can gain access to training and employment in all forms of performing arts and management and become our next generation of filmmakers, storytellers, reporters, actors, directors, writers, accessible game designers in TV, film, advertising, theatre, radio and emerging and interactive digital platforms.

dainties, king's--That which pertains to sensual gratification.
dark sayings--Refers to the darkened consciousness that cannot yet see the true light. Jesus knew that the apostles would soon reach the point where they would be able to go direct to the Father for light and guidance. Then He would not have to speak to them in "dark sayings" that they could not understand, but could speak to them "plainly of the Father" (John 16:25).
darkness--The ignorance of the sense man; the absence of Truth (light) in consciousness. Darkness represents undeveloped capacity. It is caused by lack of love. "He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness" (I John 2:9).
dawn--Spiritual perception as a dawning light in consciousness, increasing as one turns steadily toward Truth.
day--Represents the state of mind in which intelligence dominates. The idea back of day is light, or the dispensation of intelligence. In the Scriptures day and night are symbols for degrees of unfoldment, day being understanding; night, ignorance. (see night)
day, last--All shall attain who believe or have faith in the spiritual source of life. Whoever enters into the Mind of Spirit will have poured out to him its life essence and be wholly raised up from material conditions when arriving at the "last day"--the last degree of understanding.
day of judgment--Any day in which we get the result in body and affairs of some thought or word that we have expressed.
day of rest--The true day of rest is the consciousness of universal peace that constitutes the kingdom of

Fears have been raised over the welfare of the country's children following research by the NSPCC that suggests one in nine children will run away from home by the time they reach 16.
The figures also show that about 77,000 young people slept rough on the streets for the first time last year, half saying they had been thrown out by their parents.
In one of the most startling findings, the report said that one in six of all child runaways is under the age of 11.
While parental abuse and neglect were the main reasons driving children to flee, a growing number said they were trying to escape an arranged marriage.
The NSPCC is urging the Government to address the chronic lack of safe accommodation for runaways, saying it is putting their lives at risk.
There are currently only six emergency beds for under-16s in the whole of England and Wales, at a specialist unit in London.
"Emergency accommodation safeguards children from harm on the streets at the point of crisis and provides breathing space for them and their parents so that the root cause of conflict can be addressed," said Angie Brown, a spokeswoman for Childline, the NSPCC counselling service that collected anecdotal evidence of the plight of runaways.
She said that many parents never reported their children as missing. Girls who had run away to escape being forced into an arranged marriage were particularly unlikely to be reported as missing because they were in effect disowned by their families, added Mrs Brown.
The report found that twice as many girls ran away as boys and that many of them were likely to be pregnant.
Family background, poverty, and detachment from school were also likely to be factors.
While most of runaways only spent a couple of nights sleeping rough, one in seven spent at least a week on the streets with many of them not returning home.

Imagine driving home after a long day & literally 0.3kms from the off ramp you enter your driveway & the world just disappears behind you, you wouldn't even know the main arterial route was so close - it's that quiet. This lifestyle property oozes plenty of appeal. The main entrance is expansive & leads directly into the lounge area. 3 bdrms are located to the right of the entrance. The main bathroom has recently been renovated. The laundry is also tucked away here in a tidy nook. The kitchen, dining and lounge offer open plan which all open out onto the very peaceful, private and covered decking. Overlooking the pool and fruit trees this area would get plenty of use all year round. Bi-fold windows in the kitchen provide indoor/outdoor flow to a bar bench/leaner so chatting with and entertaining friends and family whilst preparing those essential nibbles won't be a problem. The master bedroom is located next to the kitchen area with it's own beautiful ensuite including a beautiful stone double vanity, bath (shower over bath) and toilet. Enjoy your summer days lazing by the inviting swimming pool. There is a spa pool in it's own closed off area within the pool, (currently not going) however with a little work to get this fixed, what a fantastic luxury to enjoy in the cooler months. There is an external double garage with an extra room providing additional space for tools, work area or your dog's own little home whilst your at work. A carport (with a pull down door) sits in between the house and the garage which also adds that extra bit of security. 3 paddocks, chook house, a kids play hut and their very own flying fox what more could you want for your children to enjoy the outdoors. Fruit trees: Blueberries x4, Feijoa, Lemon, Plum (all x3), Mandarin, Lime (both x 2), Apple, Peach, Pear, Nectarine, Apricot, Fig, Orange, Avocado, Pomegranate, Cape Gooseberries, Passionfruit and Macadamia (all x 1) and finally a few Olive Trees - so there you have it, your own little Orchard.
