Ten Years ago, I gave this talk at two staff meetings (one at night for news department and the other during the day for the daytime staff to attend). I thought it would be interesting and somewhat telling of the cautions and warnings I made then which have come to past. Here is it.
[ DRAW for DOOR Prizes and make awards. ] [6:46 pm 3-21-94]
You will all hear the same words I speak. How you interpret the words will be different. What you think I mean will be different. What you believe is behind some of the words will also be interpreted differently. But if there is just one common conclusion I hope you will draw, it's this: We are in this boat together. Whether IT wins the boat race or loses...or even sinks, is up to all of us. It's up to Me and each and every one of you. It's for that reason I am here NOW.
Linda Spalla, G.M. at Ch. 19 recently told a person in the media, and it has been widely repeated since then...."WHNT's MAIN GOAL is to beat WAAY-TV into a pulp." To quote from "Home Improvement", No, Linda, I DON'T THINK SO. But that seems to be their mission. OUR...
To produce RATINGS and REVENUE in increasing amounts to support a healthy growth of the station and the employees.
RATINGS come from staisfied viewers that view our programming and enjoy what they watch more than other stations. The newscasts are compelling and so interesting they call others to the set to see. A solid promotion and advertising campaign adds to both the percieve and real benefits our unique strengths give to our viewers. Technical excellence aids this satisfaction.
REVENUE is generated from advertising sales and must always exceed expenses. Clients who see results from their advertising, reaching more people for less dollars will always pay top price to be on our station.
NEWS: To fight to remian the station more people in the Tennessee Valley turn to for News, Sports, Weather & Special Event programming. We must continue to build, innovate, grow and perfect our methods and style. We have to stay informed of the wishes and needs of our largest audience segments. We have to be VIEWER focused.
IMAGE: That we are always available, 24 hours a day, to satisfy the largest segment of needs for information, while providing entertainment, sometimes blending entertainment with information. We are the most alert, capable and responsive news organization exceeding expectations of a station our size.
ENGINEERING: To provide support for all technical aspects of our station. To keep all operating equipment at the best state of repair so as to be as reliable as new. To innovate with new technology, while keeping costs as low as possible.
SALES: To produce revenues in increasing amounts meeting or exceeding operating costs adjusted on a yearly basis. To provide customer results that exceed expectations and to continue to find innovative ways to blend their needs with what the station can deliver.
PRODUCTION: To provide superior on-air productions with highly trained and skilled people. To generate commercial and station recorded messages that are outstanding in both presentation and results generated. To present a total on-air image that is clearly superior to the competition.
STAFF: To remember that every job is very important or it would not exist. To look for better ways to do every single job on a continuous basis. To be open to change as ways to keep the work interesting and benefitting the total effort of the station every day. We must work as teams within departments and with other departments as well.
PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT: Recognizing that each staff member has needs for career advancement and financial security. To stimulate and assist every person to grow and become skilled at new areas of work on a continuing basis. To aggressively pay our staff for innovative, motivated and improved work. To have deserving staff members enjoy the fruits of our combined successes.
LEADERSHIP: To develop increasing numbers of leaders and trainors. To know that leadership is the ability to enlist the willing cooperation of others to achieve desired results.
1. CHANGE. Story of the lily pads in the lake, doubling until on the 30th day it exactly fills the lake. How much of the lake did it occupy on the 29th day? (Half) Regarding change, we are on the 29th day. It is easily possible that three years from now, society and our economy and certainly our industry (TV) could undergo as much change as it has in the last 10 years. Three years from TODAY, we might look back at the TV business and long for the good, old days when things moved as such a slow pace. Competition was manageable. Our abilities could be truly satisfactory with less than half the efforts required in 1997.
In the 70's, Organizations said they could satisfactorily get by with: No Change --- 60 % Sporadic, Incremental change --- 35 % Continuous, Overlapping change --- 5 % In the 90's, Organizations said they could satisfactorily get by with: No Change --- 1 % Sporadic, Incremental change --- 24 % Continuous, Overlapping change --- 75 %
Even solutions to today's problems, have a much shorter "Shelf-Life" than ever before. Relate story from page 45 and 46 from "Managing at the Speed of Change" (Miners in the Dark, but one had a spare, stick match he always carried in a container) Today's solution may not work tomorrow.
The way to be successful in the 90's is to Change the Way WE Handle CHANGE. It takes flexible and resilient people to understand and use to their advantage the changes in the workplace, industry and certainly, their own lives. It can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be.
The way to prevent becoming a victim of it, is to be involved with it. Embrace it. Be a part of it.
2. IDEAS. There are many cases of brilliant ideas poorly executed and the result was a total failure. How do we improve the execution of new ideas? We GET YOUR input on them. We need ideas from staff on how to accomplish a lot of things better, easier, different. Name Tag ideas that have come from staff are going to result in a very nice customized logo ID, that you may wear proudly off the job if you wish.
3. Cover ratings information on newscasts. We were happy with the results.... but we need to not be lulled into a false sense of security. Ratings are like a big battleship changing course... when you notice it's off course, it's way too late to start making corrections. It takes a LONG time with a lot of pressure to change it back. We can't wait until we see bad news in the ratings. We have to continue to BEAR down NOW... while we still have a competative advantage.
4. LOSE the CHAFF. In separating the good wheat from what is not, you keep shuffling the mix around until the chaff floats to the top and is discarded. We have to do the same with functions, procedures, policies and even some people. In the kind of environment we are working toward at 31, we have to have everyone pulling their weight.
5. COMMUNICATION. Must be more effective and more people oriented, but goal driven as well. IWWCW...In What Ways Can We . . . ." accomplish more with same or less. "People forget the words you use, but they never forget how you made them feel." Our body language, tone and inflection of voice transmits much more than the actual words themselves. But some words transmit powerful feelings, especially negative ones. Better leave angry words unsaid. People also understand different things than were actually said. Cactus told me of two good ole boys walking in front of the Old Time Hardware store on the square in Scottsboro on First Monday...and there was a sign in the window of the hardware store....it read: "CAST IRON SINKS". So this one guy said to the other one...."Heck, any darn fool knows that!" Other people's attitudes at the time are important, too. You say to a woman who is having a really BAD day..."That's a pretty dress you have on today." and She retorts...."What the devil was wrong with the one I had on yesterday."
Teamwork is vitally important to our efforts and reaching our goals. We can't allow poor communications and communicating problems to affect us. There are been quite a few hurt feelings and anger of late, due to people saying one thing and it gets taken to mean another thing. Talk things out...and not when you are angry. God Made you with TWO ears and just ONE mouth. You should LISTEN TWICE as much as you TALK. Do you remember someone in your past who REALLY, REALLY listened to you? How did it make you FEEL? That's the very important point here.
6. TEAMWORK. Two plus Two is greater than Four. Teams that are empowered, get faster and better results.
6A. Don't be afraid to fail. It's OK to make a mistake (as long as it doesn't sink the ship.) READ "DON'T BE AFRIAD"
7. Remember the doubling of a penny a day for 30 days. First day 1 cent...next day 2 cents...next day 4 cents... etc. Finally how much at the end of 30 days? Anyone know? A millionaire. ($ 5,368,709.00) but for the first two weeks you would only have earned a couple hundred dollars. Don't quit!
Leadership in the 90's is like putting yourself in a foxhole with several of your employees. All your lives depend on your best combined actions. Leaders want to hear what the others think. What their ideas are. As a member, each person knows that their ideas will be accepted in the spirit of cooperation and looking for the best combined answer(s). They are not intimidated by the leader, but see that person as there to help just as much as everybody else. But remember what writer H.L. Mencken said, " For every complex problem in the world, there exists a simple solution - which is almost always wrong." You first solution is often NOT the best solution. Keep on going from there. Keep on finding better solutions, even if you have to implement the first one right now. Stopping just short of GOALS and accomplishments is for the competition to do. We don't give up around here.
FUN: There should always be an element of fun and enjoyment about the job, even if it is stressful at times. Everyone should have parts of their job that makes it fun to come to work each day. If not... you should discuss it with your dept. head or with me.
(THE PROBLEM SOLVING FORM....4 part form large and small sets) 1. What is the problem? 2. What are all the causes of the problem? 3. What and all the possible solutions of the problem? 4. What is the BEST solution to the problem? +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Use the suggestion box if you wish to be anonymous, or take to your dept. head.
* TRAINING. To be all that you can be and more, we ALL must seek additional training. Ask for it. Seek it. Find it. Let us help. "You have to have a high attitude before you can reach a high ALTITUDE." That's an old Navy Pilot saying.
We are in this boat together. Whether IT wins the boat race or loses...or even sinks, is up to all of us. It's up to Me and each and every one of you. My commitment is to steer this ship at full steam, full course ahead. I am proud to have each one of you aboard.

US teen finishes flight around the world
JAMES MacPHERSON
Jul. 15, 2014
A U.S. teen may have become the youngest person to fly solo around the world.
Matt Guthmiller, 19, completed the more than 29,000-mile (46,670-kilometer) journey in a single-engine airplane Monday night when he touched down in California.
Guthmiller made about two dozen stops in 14 countries during the journey that began May 31, according to his mother, Shirley, who greeted her son after his 16-hour final leg flight from Hawaii.
"Of course he looked tired," Shirley Guthmiller said in a telephone interview. "I'm very relieved he is home, but I wasn't worried."
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineering student was sleeping late Tuesday morning, she said.
Matt Guthmiller took an early interest in aviation and was 16 when got his pilot's license.
"As a little kid, he was afraid to go down to the basement," said his father, Allen Guthmiller. "It's amazing how kids change. Now he's not afraid of anything."
Guthmiller's parents said he's sending documentation to Guinness World Records, which must confirm that he broke the record.
Jamie Antoniou, the senior public relations manager at Guinness, said Guthmiller was approved to try and break the record before he left. Antoniou said Guinness expects to know for sure whether he broke it by Thursday.
The previous record was set by Jack Wiegand, who was 21 years old when he circumnavigated the globe in about two months in 2013.
Australian Ryan Campbell claims he broke Wiegand's record when he circled the globe last year at age 19 years, seven months and 25 days old. Antoniou said Campbell applied to break the record but didn't send in his evidence until "very, very recently." She said the records team is assessing the evidence, but it's still missing some.
Shirley Guthmiller said Campbell helped her son in planning the trip.
Matt Guthmiller kept in daily contact with his parents by satellite telephone. He also routinely posted updates on social media.
"I'm proud of him and I really wasn't worried," his father said. "He had a good plane and a good plan."

Twinsie Talk... has a new feature on their blog. I was honored to be asked to participate. It's called Authors Pimping Authors. Some of their favorite authors review another author's book they enjoyed, sharing author's favorite reads.
I reviewed Jessica Topper's debut novel, LOUDER THAN LOVE.
It's been over three years since a train accident made a widow of Katrina Lewis, sending her and her young daughter Abbey back to the suburban town of her youth...the only place that still makes sense. Lauder Lake is the perfect place to hide and heal.
Recluse rocker Adrian "Digger" Graves survived the implosion of his music career, but his muse has long lain dormant. Until Kat hires him to play at her library—not on the basis of his hard rock credentials but rather, because of the obscure kids' TV jingle he wrote years ago. In a case of mistaken identity, Adrian stumbles into the lives of Kat and her comically lovable daughter.
Using tattoos as a timeline, Adrian unfurls his life for Kat. But as the courtship intensifies, it's unclear whose past looms larger: the widow's or the rocker's. Will their demons ever rest, or will they break these soul mates apart.

Delurking is a slang for coming out of the online "lurking" mode and this day is designed to invite people who visit but never comment to do so. This is a way of saying hi to some reader who seems to visit often (you know who you are) but don't comment due to various reasons.
So if you are one such lurker of me & my blog, please delurk and say hi, just leave me a little comment so that I know that you do read my blog and appreciate my recipes.
I know that I get a lot of hits, I know that my recipes are used in many places, but I hardly ever get a comment on my little bloggy, so here's your chance to say hi, or say thank you, or let me know which of my recipes you like the most, just anything :)

Article Title
The Tale of Genji, written in the early eleventh century by a Japanese woman in the imperial court, is the undisputed masterpiece of classical Japanese literature. Some critics suggest that Japanese fiction owes its existence to The Tale of Genji since it is the earliest work in the history of Japanese literature to set the literary standards for the narrative (Rimer 200). In terms of world literature, the presence of psychological introspection in such an early work has prompted Western critics to acclaim Genji as the world's first psychological novel (Morris 265), if not indeed "the oldest true novel written anywhere in the world" (Keene 187). The hero of this novel is Prince Genji whose appearance and abilities are so brilliant that he is called Hikaru Genji, the Shining Prince or the Radiant One. He is by every Heian standard the beau ideal, and his charismatic appeal is far-reaching.

SOURCE: SpectraScience, Inc.
June 11, 2013 09:00 ET
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 11, 2013) - SpectraScience, Inc. (OTCQB: SCIE) announced today that results from a critical study conducted by Dr. Helmut Neumann, of the University of Elrangen - Nuremberg in Erlangen, Germany were released recently.
The main objective of the study was to evaluate the potential of Spectra Science's newly introduced WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System for prediction of colorectal lesion histology during screening colonoscopy for colorectal cancer.
The system consists of a console (comprised of a light source, spectrophotometer and algorithm) and the Optical Biopsy Forceps (OBF). The OBF consists of a standard biopsy forceps in which an optical fiber is integrated. Once a diminutive lesion is detected, the OBF is advanced through the working channel of the endoscope and the optical fiber placed in contact with the tissue to be biopsied. After pushing a foot pedal the system determined within one second if the lesion is adenomatous or not. In the study, colorectal polyps and lesions were evaluated with the WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System and afterwards removed for subsequent pathological evaluation.
Overall, 122 colorectal lesions were evaluated with the system. About 20% of lesions were adenomatous. The WavSTAT4 could predict adenomatous histology with a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 81%, 84%, and 83%, respectively. Positive and negative predictive values of WavSTAT4 for in vivo diagnosis of adenomatous tissue were 50% and 96%, respectively.
Dr. Neumann's study concluded that the WavSTAT4 Optical Biopsy System is a new diagnostic tool which allows the real-time prediction of adenomatous colorectal tissue within only one second and shows a high Negative Predictive Value (NPV). In accordance with the American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy PIVI statement, this new technique has the potential to reduce costs and risks associated with taking unnecessary physical biopsies.
SpectraScience CEO Mike Oliver commented, "We are extremely pleased with the positive results from Dr. Neumann's study. We greatly exceeded the diagnostic accuracy threshold established by the ASGE. It is our belief that these results provide key validation to our WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System. We are hopeful that the demonstration of clinical efficacy along with the WavSTAT4's ease of use and cost effectiveness will lead to the increased use by gastroenterologists and nurse endoscopists all over the world."
About SpectraScience, Inc.
SpectraScience is a San Diego based medical device company that designs, develops, manufactures and markets light-based analysis systems capable of determining whether tissue is normal, pre-cancerous or cancerous without physically removing tissue from the body. The WavSTAT Optical Biopsy System uses light to optically diagnose tissue and provide the physician with an immediate analysis. With approval for sale under the CE Mark for the European Union, the WavSTAT System is the first commercially available product that incorporates this innovative technology for clinical use.

Firm Has Seen More RFPs in 2016 Than for All of 2015
Firm Has Seen More RFPs in 2016 Than for All of 2015
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2016) - With uncertainty looming in the financial markets, Clearbrook Global Advisors, a privately held, independent investment advisory firm, said today that it has doubled the number of OCIO client mandates over the last year as a result of an increase in investor interest for outsourced CIO services.
Over the last 12 months, Clearbrook has seen significant interest from investors requiring an experienced partner to lead them through investment policy decisions and implement those decisions on their behalf. As the investment landscape continues to become more complex, institutions that lack internal resources have developed an increasing need for seamless and unbiased oversight of their investments.
"With fueled volatility in the markets, some smaller institutions are unable to handle the complexity associated with managing a portfolio that best meets their fiduciary obligations," said Elliott Wislar, CEO of Clearbrook. "Clearbrook is able to work with these organizations as an experienced extension of their internal staff, with the infrastructure to manage these portfolios in all types of market conditions."
In addition, the firm has seen a record number of RFPs for OCIO mandates year to date in 2016, and has participated in as many searches and finals presentations for OCIO in the first quarter of this year as they did for all of 2015.
Mr. Wislar added, "Outsourced CIO providers have been around for decades, however, just in the past five years we have seen explosive growth in this market. There are many factors driving the growth and evolution of OCIO services, which differ slightly for each client segment, but the key drivers are consistent -- increasing volatility of the markets, increasing complexity of investment programs, and the rising cost of internal investment staff."
About Clearbrook
Clearbrook provides comprehensive, objective investment advice and solutions to institutional investors worldwide, across all asset classes, for both discretionary and non-discretionary mandates. With approximately $28 billion in assets under advisement, our business model is founded in independent thinking, disciplined research and analysis, and vision tempered with experience.

A survey of the average price of dozens of popular gifts, including electronic goods, beauty products and fashion accessories, has revealed that prices in New York and Boston are up to 62 per cent cheaper than in London.
Some of the biggest savings can be made on items of clothing and sunglasses. The average cost of a pair of True Religion jeans is £319 in London, but just £123 in New York and £120 in Boston; a pair of Hollister skinny jeans costs 36 per cent less in New York (£32) than in London (£50).
Ray Ban "Aviator" sunglasses cost £188 in London, but less than £100 in New York, and Levi's 501 Original jeans are 45 per cent cheaper in the US.
Good deals can also be found on toys. Let's Rock Elmo, a popular soft toy, the Star Wars Ultimate FX Lightsaber, and the Nerf Vortex Nitron Blaster, all of which were included on this year's Toy Retailers Association "Dream Dozen" Christmas wish list, are between 37 and 53 per cent less expensive when purchased across the pond. There are also savings – albeit more modest – to be found on electronic goods: an Apple iPod 8GB Nano is 22 per cent cheaper in the US, and a Sony A710 Digital Photo Frame costs 25 per cent less.
The survey also highlighted a handful of items that are more expensive in US stores, including the Lego Harry Potter PlayStation 3 video game, Jennifer Aniston's new perfume, and GHD hair straighteners.
Sarah Munro, head of travel money at the Post Office, said: "There are great bargains to be had in New York and Boston, but don't assume that everything is cheaper. Toys are almost always better value, but we still found bad buys. Find out what items cost in Britain before leaving and compare with the US price."
Ms Munro said that Boston was often cheaper than New York because its level of sales tax is lower, and items of clothing under £113 are exempt from it.
A spokesman for the tour operator Hayes & Jarvis said that the number of bookings for US city breaks had risen by 10 per cent since last year. He said that the US remained excellent value for British shoppers, despite the value of the pound having fallen by 25 per cent against the dollar since 2007.
Travellers on Boston and New York shopping sprees need to be aware that there is a £390 limit on the value of goods that can be brought back into the country duty-free.

Quick Demo
The Christological Astronomy (CA) computer program is an amazing revelation of the interpretation of the celestial word of God. This is much the same as the magi, or wise men of old, knew and could read. The secrets of how to read it were couched in the Bible and waiting for this day and time when the technology of how to decipher the meanings could be computed. This is not astrology but is in fact what astrology has been cloaking and counterfeiting. Our program is of reputation among the NASA community being renowned for its accuracy and innovations.
The program is in three levels and has been constructed in a learning model for one level to build on the next so that it is not information overload, but an adventure of understanding who you were called to be in Christ. The first level is free and shows the basic mechanics of the program. Levels 2 and 3 are available to purchase from the LMCI bookstore (e-store) at LMCI.org. According to most participants, this is the most profound revelation in their lives of their destiny and potential.
As an introductory note, the central message of the heavens is all about the coming Messiah as the Redeemer and the King. It is written in the universal language of pictures for all to see and understand. The enigma is solved in the ancient star names. (A free article is available in our e-store that gives the background of this research.) When the star names are studied, an amazing revelation unfolds—regardless of the language, the basic meaning is all about the coming One, His attributes, and His characteristics. The location of the planetoids (the Sun, Moon, and nine planets) on any particular day actually unveils the messianic potential that God was revealing on that day. In short, the Creator of the heavens and the Creator of you synchronized the celestial calendar and your predestinated birth date to reveal to you the messianic potential that He gave you. This does not violate your free will but gives you the blueprint of who you can be and the abilities and possibilities that you have.
To access the program, log in with the same email and password that you use on LMCI.org. If you are not already a registered user on our LMCI website, you will need to register on this site to use our program. Simply follow the instructions to receive your free Level 1 report and the basic understanding of the process. An article providing an overview of the subject is available here. After obtaining your free Level 1, go to the LMCI.org e-store to access Levels 2 and 3 or click on this link to go directly there. Your Level 2 and/or 3 reports will be kept on file in your Christological Astronomy account for future review, and you may also convert the reports to a PDF file to save or print.
Enjoy the amazing journey of discovering the Christological Astronomy revelation of the Astrologos (Jesus the Messiah) and the prophetic destiny it reveals to you.

California has the best weather, in the heart of December I am able to wear a dress without any tights. The contrast of my dress with my skin makes me miss summer and its glow. Some summer dresses can transition into Fall/Winter no matter what weather. If you live in a colder region you can wear tights ( solid or printed) with a monotone dress. I am able to take advantage of the warm weather and continue wearing my summer dresses sans cold weather accessories.

First responders need interoperable emergency communications during a crisis, and legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Donald Payne (D-NJ) is aimed at ensuring states do not lose the gains they have achieved in this area.
Payne recently introduced the Statewide Interoperable Communications (SWIC) Enhancement Act of 2015, which would require that states have a statewide interoperability coordinator or delegate charged with coordinating emergency activities across all levels of government every day. The goal is to ensure that emergency personnel are able to successfully coordinate on activities that save lives.
"One of the major problems that our first responders have is arriving at an emergency, in another jurisdiction, and they can't communicate with each other," Payne told Bio Prep Watch. "This would tie one person in to making sure that we continue to move forward in interoperability state to state."
Having one centralized official that has an overview of the needs throughout the state facilitates various jurisdictions working together, he said.
He cited an example in New Jersey, where the Newark fire department was responding to an emergency in Jersey City but those firefighters could not communicate by radio to the Jersey City department.
"That's a problem," Payne said. "This just makes sure that they have the right equipment and the information they need to do the job and remain safe."
Due to the elimination of the Interoperable Emergency Communications Grant Program and reduced funding for homeland security grant programs, some states are eliminating SWICs, Payne said.
The Department of Homeland Security's Office of Emergency Communications testified to Congress last year that the number of SWICs had fallen to 26 in March 2014 from 44 in 2010, Payne said.
"Without the adequate funding there is a real risk," Payne said. "It's a really important government structure that has taken over a decade to build; and for it to be abandoned, we just don't want that to happen."
Payne said the SWIC bill has bipartisan support. The Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Emergency Preparedness, Response, and Communications will meet in open markup session on Thursday to consider several measures, including Payne's bill.

"Swiss Army Man" Review ✦✦✦✦✧
Directors: Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert
Screenwriters: Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert
Director of Photography: Larkin Seiple
Cast: Paul Dano, Daniel Radcliffe
Synopsis: A suicidal man stranded on an island finds the way to escape after a bloated corpse floats ashore. Using a bizarre tactic to reach the coast, the loner realises that the body is lucid and the two strike up an intense friendship involving a number of life lessons and adventures.
Swiss Army Man Review:
A multi-tool of a metaphor crafted with the nuance of true art cinema, "Swiss Army Man" is a unique and surprisingly coherent depiction of strength and survival in a time where all hope is lost. Always acutely aware of the subtle charm of "Cast Away"'s Wilson, the film replaces Robert Zemeckis' volleyball with a shipwrecked dead body introduced as the hallucinated saviour of a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Manny refills the void excavated by loneliness while providing the literal tools needed for his new friend to return to safety.
With a mouthful of fresh drinking water, fingers like matchsticks, and a machine gun for a body, the corpse is quite literally the embodiment of a lost man's liberator and his symbolic arrival provides an excuse for the gloomy Hank to rediscover what it means to be alive. "Swiss Army Man" is an emotional, musical delight with more than enough quirkiness to go around. To call it 'a movie about a farting corpse' is to do a disservice to such an inimitable and uplifting experience.
The film exists to put a smile on your face and a tear in your eye in what can only be described as a thoroughly enriching take on the beauty within the mundane. "Swiss Army Man" reminds us that life is about music, dancing, and laughter but that we must wade our way through the clumsiness and uncertainty of existence in order to reap such magnificent benefits.

Jared Strait receives National Research Council Fellowship
Jared Strait, ECE Ph.D. '15 has received a two-year postdoctoral fellowship from the National Research Council's Research Associateship Program to work in the Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, MD. There he will be developing new measurement techniques using ultrafast lasers to investigate the properties of novel electronic and optical materials.
During his Ph.D. work he used terahertz and ultrafast spectroscopy to study the conductivity and electron dynamics of low-dimensional materials, including graphene, molybdenum disulfide, and germanium nanowires.
The National Research Council has conducted the Research Associateship Programs in cooperation with sponsoring federal laboratories and other research organizations approved for participation since 1954. Through a national competition, the NRC recommends and makes Research Associateship awards to outstanding scientists and engineers, at the postdoctoral and senior levels, for tenure as guest researchers at the participating laboratories. A limited number of opportunities are available for support of graduate students in select fields.
The Research Associateship Programs provide postdoctoral and senior scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on problems, largely of their own choice that are compatible with the interests of the sponsoring laboratories and thereby, contribute to the overall efforts of the laboratories. For recent doctoral graduates, the Research Associateship Programs provide an opportunity for concentrated research in association with selected members of the permanent professional laboratory staff.

Chinese handset maker Xiaomi caught up with industry leader Samsung to share the top spot in India's smartphone market for the September quarter with each player accounting for 23.5 per cent share, research firm IDC said today.
Smartphone shipments in India reached a record high of 39 million units in the July-September quarter -- which also sees high sales on account of festive season.
Shipments grew 40 per cent from the previous quarter and 21 per cent over the year-ago period, IDC said, adding that India accounted for about 10 per cent of the global smartphone shipments this quarter.
Other players in the tally included Lenovo-Motorola (9 per cent), vivo (8.5 per cent) and Oppo (7.9 per cent).
"In the coming few quarters, both Samsung and Xiaomi would need to further strengthen their channel play and significantly differentiate their products on technology and quality to sustain and fight for leadership in this hyper competitive smartphone market," IDC India Senior Analyst Upasana Joshi said.
In a statement, Xiaomi said it had shipped 9.2 million smartphones during the quarter and has seen a growth rate of nearly 300 per cent year-on-year.
"Within three years of our entry into the Indian market, we have been able to achieve a never-seen-before feat of market dominance," Xiaomi India MD Manu Jain said.
Samsung, which registered 23 per cent y-o-y growth, saw models like Galaxy J2, Galaxy J7 Nxt, and GalaxyJ7 Max contributing to almost 60 per cent of its volume, as per IDC data.
OnePlus -- whose competition includes high-end devices like Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Note 8 -- said it almost doubled its market share in the premium category with 28 per cent share, up from 12 per cent in March 2017 quarter.
"Driven by the exceptional performance of our recent smartphones, OnePlus 5 and OnePlus 3T in particular, we are humbled by the market validation as the brand became the preferred choice for the digital savvy consumers looking for a premium smartphone experience," OnePlus General Manager Vikas Agarwal said.
IDC said 13 million smartphones were billed to e-tailers with 35 per cent annual growth.
"Online channel in India sees a seasonal spike peaking in Q3 on the back of multiple round of online sales following up to festival months in India," IDC India Senior Analyst Jaipal Singh said.
However, it is gradually becoming an integral part of the omni-channel strategy for almost all vendors with online exclusive model launches and partnerships with e-tailers during these sales, he added.

Red Bull has tested the Ferrari's Halo cockpit protection system in F1's second in-season test at Silverstone.
The Milton Keynes-based outfit has fitted its racing car with the Ferrari's Halo cockpit protection system at the Silverstone.
This is the first time that any team other than Ferrari, which trialed the second iteration of its Halo concept during the Silverstone race weekend, has been seen with the Halo cockpit protection system.
ALSO READ: F1 News: Red Bull atmosphere has changed since Max Verstappen arrival?
Red Bull has been developing the alternative Aeroscreen system, but this was placed on hold once a decision has been reached by the FIA that Halo was the preferred option for the 2017 campaign. The FIA, however, hasn't ruled out revisiting the Aeroscreen design in time for the 2018 season.
Ferrari's Halo 2 successfully went through extraction tests at the Austrian and British Grands Prix, and also in Silverstone, which it fitted with dummy chassis, to help medical crews better understand how to work with it.
But despite the green light signal from the FIA, the issues remain a hotbed with F1 teams not completely won over by the implications of its introduction in the 2017 campaign.
This led to Red Bull think that Halo is not yet good enough to be voted in for next year's campaign, and will stand against it if Red Bull are given the choice.
ALSO READ: Michael Schumacher Update: Health worsens as family loses hope on F1 legend
Amid fresh concerns about potential downsides to the Ferrari-designed Halo, Red Bull boss Christian Horner has said that he would vote against it at the moment. But Horner believes that Red Bull's stance would be enough to block the Halo from the introduction in 2017 unless the FIA gets into the table and force it through on safety grounds.
In June, Red Bull has announced that it has suspended its Aeroscreen program as they refuse to waste any more of their resources on it if the project is not going to be approved anytime soon. Reports said that the Milton-Keynes outfit had already spent $280,000 or so into the project and it can't afford to spend many resources on the project.

text: Okay. That topic title was just to get your attention. I know how to play games on my television. The real question is: is there a way to stream my computer to my TV? I have a Vizio HD tv about 12 feet away from my computer, and I wanted to run some emulators on my computer and play them through my TV. Is there a way to do this?

Here's a great sparkly fairy pin from Kirk's Folly. She wears a midnight blue enamel glitter gown with crescent moons and stars. She carries a handful of dangling magic charms and a netted bag full of pearlies. She's marked on back with Kirk's Folly and her name, Twinkle the tooth fairy. I've been told that she is a retired piece, no longer made. She's 3" high and in extremely good, previously owned condition. Purchased from an estate sale.

Bucking The Pawlowski Machine
CeCe ended her long day yesterday working the poll and phone at West Park. Overall, she had fielded about 60 workers, covering every one of the city's polling stations. Mark Smith also ran an organized campaign, his first foray into elected politics. Scott Armstrong, much to the chagrin of the Teacher's Union, Pawlowski's PAC and card carrying liberals, didn't campaign whatsoever.

Go Ce Ce!
Got to love a candidate that is so engaged, out there stirring up the votes til the last minute. That is one way to win an election. Good on her!

Maybe there's hope for Allentown after all.
And Hozza won in Whitehall.
Not a great night for "Senator" Pawlowski.

This is not intended to contribute to the dialogue, On Sunday, my wife and I who live in Florida but are from the Lehigh Valley area for decades returned to Muhlenberg College for our daughters graduation. The parks along Hamilton St and up to the College are pathetic. Such a rag-tag look to what was once a beautiful sight. I cant believe Allentownians can withstand that look.

anon 11:37, comment off topic, but a pet peeve of mine. it only gets worse as summer progresses. the shore along the lake and stream are not cut until the fall, and then only to control the invasive species. credit the Wildlands Conservancy, and Pawlowski's lack of knowledge about the parks, for the sorry sight.

Worked all day as usual. My campaign was limited to my service on the board, my public comments as reported in the press, my op-eds, letters to the editor, and radio interviews. If the voters prefer candidates who have the time to knock on their doors and make promises that can't be kept that is their choice. I am fine with that.

Jon has lived and taught in four countries. His dual career in Geography and English (ELT) started with Geography, Mathematics and Sports in Ashford, Kent, UK. He did an exchange year teaching Geography in Ottawa, Canada, before moving to Spain to teach English (EFL).

He is always looking for new trips and practical, outdoor applications for what is covered in the classroom.
Jon has many hobbies which can be shared at school, such as cycling, trekking and climbing; he plays piano and guitar and often gets involved in school music events, and travels extensively, which provides him with photographic material and musical slideshows for classes.

By James McAuley and Rebecca Street | May 25
"Insurance fraud" is a term broadly used for illicit activity related to either buying or selling insurance. It comes in many forms: fabricated claims (property, life, health, and accident), staged auto accidents, arson, inaccurate declarations, and inflation of genuine claims, and can even extend to internal crimes, whether related to sales, underwriting, or claims. Although the nature of insurance schemes varies, they share one common element: the fraudster.
The cost generated by these fraudsters is immense in both economic and non-financial terms: the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC) reports that property and casualty insurance fraud in Canada costs an estimated $1.3 billion per year and 10% to 15% of insurance premiums for home, car, and business insurance go to paying for fraudulent claims. This cost compounds the non-financial losses related to the depletion of emergency resources, inappropriate use of public servants to assist in making claims, injury and death to innocent bystanders, and wasted time and resources of insurers and the court system as they investigate and prosecute of those involved in fraudulent claims. When fraud in the life and health insurance sector is added in, the problem increases exponentially.
In insurance it is imperative that risks be identified, understood, and managed. This is equally true when dealing with fraud.
Insurance fraud is seen as a low-risk, high-reward activity that often involves organized crime rings. In these unusual economic times, there will be increased motivation for certain individuals and companies to take advantage of opportunities they either find or create. Rick Dubin, Vice-president, investigative services, at the IBC, has even suggested that "the business of staging accidents is so lucrative that some participants are quitting their day jobs!" This, combined with the general attitude that 46% of Canadians believe it is easy to submit fraudulent claims, has rightfully put all insurance companies on high-alert for the risk of fraud.
KPMG Forensic recently released its most recent survey focused on fraud in Canada . In this survey, entitled Profile of a Canadian Fraudster, we addressed one of the most basic and important questions: who commits fraud? Executives of Canada 's largest companies were asked about the people who had defrauded their companies.
- Our survey confirms that, on the surface, a typical fraudster may not be all that different than the average person. However, below the surface, a fraudster is not typical.
- Almost three-quarters of frauds were carried out by men.
- Most fraudsters (69 %) were between the ages of 30 and 49.
- 69% of frauds were inside jobs, 20% were perpetrated by external fraudsters, and 11% involved collusion between insiders and outsiders.
The three main factors reported as leading to fraud were personal need (28%), opportunity (19%), and greed (14%).
"Bad habits," which include alcohol, drug abuse, and gambling, were a factor in 11 % of cases reported.
What can be done?
Understanding the characteristics of the potential fraudster and what motivates their behavior are the initial steps. To protect a company against fraud (whether internal or external), it is important for companies to implement preventative and detective controls. There are clearly special considerations and approaches that are particularly relevant for insurance companies. While such a discussion is too broad for this article, the following provides our observations that have relevance to insurers as they do to all corporate entities trying to help reduce the risk and impact of fraud on their organizations.
Whistleblower Hotlines
A properly organized and publicized whistleblower hotline can help a company gather tips on financial irregularities, and bring to light these schemes in their early stages. Although a hotline may not prevent fraud, it can be critical in discouraging and detecting fraud. Often times, the perpetrator isn't the only one with knowledge of the crime; a whistleblower hotline provides an avenue for a concerned person to anonymously voice his or her concerns.
Risk Assessments
A thorough fraud and misconduct risk assessment can help management to understand a company's business risk, and identify weaknesses in internal controls. What types of fraudster is the company exposed to?
What are the most common types of frauds the company has encountered in the past? How did they happen? What controls can be strengthened to prevent these types of crimes? What controls can be implemented to detect these frauds on a more timely basis? This risk assessment should also include a plan for any required remedial action.
Fraud and Misconduct Awareness Training
Providing fraud awareness training is a key element to help ensure that employees are aware of the nature and risks of fraud within a company, the risks faced, and how to protect against these risks. The effects of fraud can impact the entire organization, so it is important to arm employees with the knowledge to help them contribute to the deterrence and detection of fraud.
Proactive Data Analysis Tools
Data analysis is the process of gathering data captured in the normal course of business and transforming it into useful information. This can include computer-assisted techniques to cross-match data and identify non-obvious relationships and patterns. This approach can be used to identify potential fraud and misconduct, or other irregularities that may have otherwise been undiscovered. Historical data analysis can help identify patterns and similarities in known frauds, which can be used in a strategy to prevent or detect frauds in the future.
Business Code of Conduct
A properly constructed and communicated business Code of Conduct sets the ethical tone of a company, and guides the moral framework for behaviour. To be effective, it is important that senior management embrace the code and demonstrate its values in their daily actions. The code should explicitly state that the company is intolerant of fraudulent behaviour, whether it is in the form of committing the inappropriate behaviour, or simply not reporting known unacceptable behaviour. Communicating this code of to customers, along with the whistleblower hotline, sends the message that your company is intolerant of unethical behaviour.
Combating fraud can tangibly help a company's finances. Building a reputation as an active anti-fraud organization can benefit your business even more. Understanding fraudsters and your company's risks are good first steps towards achieving these goals.

Being Where We Are Wanted
Saturday, September 23rd, 2017 I had the pleasure of being a panelist on Tunes & Talk, hosted by Risikat Okedeyi, on WPFW DC. The topic was the seeming backlash from black men to Damon Young's article on Very Smart Brothas articulating what he had heard before from black women in his social media network – black men are the white people of black people.
The panel was a raucous one, and there have been plenty of hot takes about the piece, so I feel no need to rehash them here. What I wanted to note is that the fact that a man wrote about this idea should serve as a final warning.
Anna Julia Cooper had to remind the readers of W.E. B. DuBois' work that the problem of the color line was but just one of the problems of the 20th century. That the woman problem, the limitations of gender, were harming black women.
The Combahee River Collective reminded us that black women, and black queer women in particular, will wait on no one to recognize their power.
Deborah King, Elizabeth Fiorenza, Gloria Hull and Kimberle Crenshaw have been telling us since the 1980s and 1990s that one can experience both privilege and oppression, and perhaps the way to freedom is by listening to the folks that have the least of the former.
Moya Bailey made her plea more specific when she addressed the particulars of the degradation experienced by black women in 2010.
I say this not to provide a syllabus of the basics of black feminist thought, although I do encourage reading the work of these women before dismissing Young's article. Instead I'm merely illustrating that black women have been articulating this thought for at least two hundred years.
The waiting is over.
Black women will no longer cook in the back, and hope that our concerns are addressed from the pulpit. Even if we make a mean macaroni and cheese and potato salad.
There is no more ceding leadership roles, while doing everything else to keep the structures of the organizations black women start afloat.
Candice Benbow articulates another aspect of the black and female experience that also plays a role here:
I don't know men who stay. Whether it is my father or a lover, I don't know men who stay.
— Candice Marie Benbow (@CandiceBenbow) September 24, 2017
Many of us born in the late '70s and '80s can attest to growing up in single parent homes, which isn't to say that there were no men who supported us in our communities, at all. However, your uncles and community members are not your parent. Furthermore, if the men in your life do not cede space for black women, then there is only one outcome – a large portion of black women will move on. At this point should black women decide to pack our duffle bags and go, and by go I mean stop organizing, stop feeding, stop advocating, just stop, then this does more harm to black men than black women. We've had at least three decades of practice advocating for ourselves since the marriage rate for black women has been in decline. We have learned to go only where we are wanted. But you dear brother, good luck if you decide to go it alone.

|Re: XMLConfiguration load problem - External Entity not found
|Wed, 28 Dec 2005 20:09:25 GMT
Hm, I guess this is partly our fault because we obviously did not completely ensure binary compatibility between the 1.0 and 1.1 release (now we are more concerned about this: between 1.1 and 1.2 there should not be such issues). I agree with Emmanuel's solution. In 1.1 HierarchicalXMLConfiguration is empty and just extends XMLConfiguration. It does not matter to which of the both you add the overloaded initProperties() method. Just delegate to the other variant and set the boolean argument to false (it is only needed for storing configuration files - which was not supported by HierarchicalXMLConfiguration). Because in 1.1 XMLConfiguration is a full replacement for HierarchicalXMLConfiguration I hope that there are no further issues.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
As a working parent, it can be difficult to connect with other parents let alone become friends with them, but it isn't an impossible task. Perhaps you have colleagues with same-aged children, but how do you get to know the other parents in your child's school, your neighborhood, and beyond?
Take a day off and volunteer. If your job allows it and your child's school invites volunteerism, block off a day in your work schedule to spend some time in their classroom or chaperone a field trip. Field trips are fabulous ways to connect home and school while also meeting fellow parents.
Go on a neighborhood walk. Those after dinner walks are magical times for meeting other families. Have your kids pedal through the neighborhood or pull them along in a wagon and chat it up with the neighbors you see along the way. You never know who may have kids of the same age who may be dying for a playdate!
Frequent the park on the weekends. Parks are quite busy on the weekends. Don't be afraid to strike up a conversation with a parent whose child appears to be about the same age as yours. Make a plan to meet at the park the following weekend, and it could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
Weekend playdates. Pick a morning or afternoon on the weekend to host a playdate. Invite parents to stay, and have munchies for both kids and adults. Playdates will soon become adult social hours and will serve as a nice way to connect with other parents from outside the workplace.
Family dinner date. Everyone needs to eat and it is often more fun for the kids to go out with another family. Having friends along for dinner occupies the kids longer than crayons and a coloring sheet and leaves time for the adults to talk. Call another family who you haven't seen in awhile and choose a date mid-week where dining specials are more plentiful with kids-eat-free offers to maximize the household budget. Or invite a couple of families over for a weekend potluck so no one person shoulders the entire burden of cooking, and then suggest a rotating potluck dinner date.
Become part of an online community. These days there are many online communities that are designed especially for parents who need to connect virtually. Savvy Source recently launched My Savvy Source where you can join groups based on your where you live and your interests. It is a great place where you can bounce parenting questions off other like-minded individuals and connect with parents in your area for a playdate.
Just as kids need their friends, adults do too! Don't be shy about asking another parent if they are free to get together. Chances are they would love to get together with you!
