"Rainbow Rays Reiki-Level 3"
~~A One-of-a-Kind New Modality Featuring
the Merge of Color Energy and Usui Reiki ~~
Taught by Alijandra
Saturday, July 28, 2018 -- a one day event
In Rocklin, CA close to Roseville in Sacramento area
(Class location given upon signup)
Rainbow Rays Reiki (The symbol in the painting is "Reiki" in Japanese
Near the final years of the second decade of the new millennium, we see these two towering healing and transformative disciplines finally merge for the first time into a new modality. Direct from Spirit around the beginning of 2018, came the guidance to now begin spreading this work. Previously taught on-line starting the first part of this year in three sets of 3 webinars each. More material will be added in this next class.
- New symbols. Not the original Reiki symbols. Light language.
- New dimensions
- New color rays/flames
- New chakras
- Hands-on healing at the tables
- Personal transformation, ascension oriented
Alijandra is the founder of Healing with the Rainbow Rays, a pioneering form of color energy healing. She is also a Reiki Master and teacher, trained RN, visionary, mystic, medium, writer, teacher and mentor, artist. She is the founder and author of the book "Healing with the Rainbow Rays", her pioneering work into this style of color energy healing, published in 1995. Intuitive and empathic her whole life, she graduated from college with a registered nurse degree and one in English. She has focused her attention the last 34 years to the development and practice of color energy therapy, where she is widely seen as a pioneer in the field. Additionally, she trained in several other healing/ bodywork modalities, which she still uses, although her focus is now more on the spiritual, visionary side and how to effectively apply it to the holistic healing process. Twenty seven years ago, she became a Reiki Master in the original Usui method. About 21 years ago, she began to develop the modality of "Transfigurational Matrix Healing", which continues to yield on-going, cutting-edge new material. In the last seven years, she developed the Rainbow Liquid Light work for ascension, which continues her work begun over 20 years ago on reversing the aging process and immortality. She is now teaching that material. Several e-books and many mp3s on her classes are available. After 31 years in the SF bay area, she is now based in Sacramento, California the last 7 years.
Requirements suggested: Reiki 1 attunement so you at least have a little Reiki background. But it is your decision. The attunements will be offered by Alijandra for a small additional fee added to the class fee. (See below) You don't need the first two levels of this modality to take Level 3, but it is recommended that you purchase the on line webinars of the two levels to give you a richer, fuller experience of the whole modality. They are $125 for each level (3 webinars per level) If you purchase both Level 1 and Level 2 at the same time, they are a total of $199, a savings of $51!
If you are completely new to this modality of color energy healing, purchase of the first book by Alijandra ("Healing with the Rainbow Rays") is highly recommended to introduce you to this color modality. It is offered in ebook form for $15 only from her, or on-line with Amazon vendors in paperback at misc prices.
Earlybird fee: $99 for one day class due on or before July 14-- Regular fee: $125 after. Reiki Attunement 1 is $20 by Alijandra done prior to event.(In person attunements available in Sacramento area)

Indian E-Commerce Sees $3 Billion Infusion Via Flipkart, Amazon
July 31, 2014
Perhaps indicating the health and potential of e-commerce in India, Flipkart, the site that has become known as the "Amazon.com of India," confirmed this week it raised $1 billion in new funding. This most recent round, coming only a few months after it has raised $210 million, is the largest capital raise ever by an Indian Internet company and the second-largest venture investment of the year (only behind Uber's June windfall of $1.2 billion). The company has raised nearly $1.8 billion since it was founded in 2007.
Separately, only hours after Flipkart confirmed its new round yesterday, Amazon itself released a statement saying it would invest $2 billion in its Indian e-commerce operation.
"After our first year in business, the response from customers in India has far surpassed our expectations," Jeff Bezos, founder and CEO of Amazon.com, said in the statement. "We see huge potential in the Indian economy and for the growth of e-commerce in India. With this additional investment of $2 billion, our team continues to think big, innovate and raise the bar for customers in India."

re-post from mariashriver.com
1. sometimes, a lady is forced to become uncivil. it is unfortunate, but it happens, in which case try to maintain kindness and honesty. some people will mistake a lady's honesty for being unkind, but the truth hurts enough, so there's no need for name calling.
2. a lady sends a card. a hand written note and old timey human powered postal service lends a personal touch to correspondence. these days, because it is done so infrequently, sending a card can really make a rather warm impression upon recipients. it's an easy thing to do, and it makes folks feel good. bonus points for ladylike handwriting and personalized stationary.
3. a lady carries a handbag, the contents of which should be kept tidy. the handbag is a metaphor for so many things, so keep that sacred space ladylike. a lady should guard her handbag against signs of neglect such as abandoned receipts and loose change. a lady will carry a bag that flatters her frame and promotes healthy posture. ladies avoid bags that are too small to be taken seriously or bags that dig into or slip off their shoulders. and be sure that it closes securely, lady, lest thy handbag be molested by unsavory and nefarious ne'er do wells.
4. a lady tips well, especially when she is being helped by a lady. never take change back when breaking a small bill for coffee, tres de classe* and cheap. you are being served, so please receive the service with grace. service not so great? leave a nice tip. you may help her next customer have a much better experience. it's that whole karma thing-- very ladylike.
5. a lady has deference for the greatest ladies of history including but not limited to sojourner truth, coco chanel, simone de beauvoir, angela davis, wonder woman, and miss piggy. these ladies embody bravery, justice, modernity, and style. they have made significant contributions to the expansion of our civil society, and they have done so with a tremendous amount of flair and hair. these ladies are our moral mothers, our spiritual sisters, and our fashionable friends. Look to them when you are in need of advice or inspiration.
6. in times of great moral/spiritual/fashion crisis, a lady will ask herself, "what would jackie do?" (wwjd?).** listen, if mz. jackie can be the picture of cool, ladylike calm during some rather unladylike circumstances, then almost anything you tackle is cake by comparison. jackie was into self-preservation, philanthropic service, and good taste. make an effort to take care of yourself— body, mind, and soul. know what suits your shape, and apply chic timeless trends accordingly.
7. ladies know the importance of comfortable shoes and properly sized foundation garments. curves should be curvy, not lumpy—and frankly, ties that bind are bound to make you cranky. panties shouldn't dig and cinch, bras shouldn't pinch, squish or drift. happy feet beget happy posture, and happy posture communicates confidence. also, happy feet can run in an emergency (why let the gents have an evolutionary advantage here?). a good tailor can work wonders for a lady's figure so try his needles before the doctor's. even if a lady spends a fortune on alterations, it would never be as much money or as painful as cosmetic surgery.
8. a lady knows the power of a sincere smile (see comfortable shoes/foundation garments, above). you can fake a bust line, but you shouldn't fake a smile. a sincere smile says you are comfortable and friendly; your smile sets other people at ease. invest in and protect your smile—you only get one set of teeth, and they are one of your best accessories. and if something causes a lady's smile to fade, she should not dismiss it. take note that in life it is good to follow your heart and your smile.
9. a lady never messes with another lady's man. however, a lady may have more than one gentleman friend. it's complicated, but it's still ladylike (ladies who dig on ladies with ladies…i dunno, that's a different blog).***
10. a lady treads lightly on the earth. a well-mannered lady does not take more than her fare share of natural resources, and she certainly does not leave a mess for others to clean up. make ladylike choices about what you refuse, reduce, reuse and recycle. nothing says grace and elegance like a small carbon footprint.
*i'm talkin to you rene russo: humboldt bay coffee company, 1994. i was your barrista, and you ma'am, were no lady.
**if you really want to know what jackie would do, check out the book what would jackie do? by s. branch & s. callaway; it's a surprisingly useful and fun little read.
*** no. 9 addendum: sometimes a lady may have to save herself; a lady should know how to ride a bike, drive a car, and call a cab. a lady will plan ahead and is prepared for the worst (but she hopes for the best).

Brisbane housing construction project tender opens under Buy Queensland
The Palaszczuk Government has called on eligible South East Queensland construction companies to tender for the construction of a new social housing complex in Yeronga under the new Buy Queensland procurement strategy.
Member for Yeerongpilly Mark Bailey said the strategy, whichcame into effect on 1 September 2017, was fantastic news for local businesses looking to tender for the works.
"The project will be delivered as part of the Palaszczuk Government's $1.8 billion Queensland Housing Strategy, and it will support jobs for a range of trades including electrical, carpentry, plumbing, floor laying, block laying, concreting, plastering, cabinet making and painting," Mr Bailey said.
"We've chosen a site which is close to jobs, transport and community support.
"The construction will be a three storey building serviced by a lift, with a combination of one and two bedroom apartments.
"Importantly, four of these apartments will be built to Platinum Level of Livable Housing Design Guidelines, meaning they can accommodate people who use wheelchairs, with features like wider doorways and halls, as well as lever taps and hobless showers.
"The remaining 16 apartments will be built to Gold Level, which means they can be easily upgraded in the future if needed.
"This project will contribute to building better housing outcomes for the Brisbane community, providing more people with access to safe, secure and affordable housing," he said.
Minister for Housing and Public Works Mick de Brenni said this project was being delivered through the Queensland Government's $1.8 billion Queensland Housing Strategy 2017-2027.
"Through the Housing Strategy's Housing Construction Jobs Program an increased pipeline of work will be delivered to help support the residential construction industry in the Brisbane region and jobs for local tradies," Mr de Brenni said.
"We're investing $220 million to build 684 social housing dwellings in the Brisbane region over the first five years.
"This investment will see work for small, medium and large construction businesses, supporting the equivalent of 125 full time local jobs each year over the five years."

Our weblog. If you want news about our products, watch this space or follow us on Twitter.
Users who purchased prior to the recent 5.2.0 update will almost certainly be aware that the latest update removed two algorithms, namely "Quick (on-line)" and "Selected Files (on-line)" because of problems with online defragmentation (which we think are caused by kernel bugs in the macOS itself).
First, a bit of terminology. When we say "on-line", what we mean is that the algorithm can run while the disk is still mounted and in use by the system. The converse, "off-line", means that the disk must be unmounted and not in use. The "on-line" algorithms can only work by using ordinary system APIs — they don't access the disk directly, and they don't rely on our filesystem code; in theory you'd think that would make them safer and less likely to break, but of course that hasn't turned out to be the case in this instance. The "off-line" algorithms, on the other hand, use our filesystem code (not the Apple code in the system kernel), and access the disk directly.
Now, a number of customers have been using the "Quick (on-line)" and "Selected Files (on-line)" algorithms for reasons other than being able to continue to use the disk at the same time. For those customers, the 5.2.0 release is potentially a bit of a blow, because we've removed a feature they very much liked and appreciated. We hear this.
So, in addition to continuing to work on getting the on-line algorithms to work reliably on future versions of the macOS, we're adding off-line versions of the two on-line algorithms to iDefrag. These function in the same way you're used to, but they do require that the disk be unmounted (iDefrag will do that itself). The other difference you might spot is that they will function in reboot-and-defragment mode, where the on-line algorithms cannot for technical reasons.
Because new algorithms are a riskier change, we're releasing them for now in beta form for customers to test and comment on. You can grab the beta from the iDefrag page.
N.B. If you are running without backups, or are not prepared to restore your files from backups in case of failures, we do not recommend using beta versions of our software.

Question about Monitor Audio Bronze B4 Speaker
Posted by JohnRaymond on
Hi there, I am assuming that you wish to BiWire the speakers. This involves removing the link on the back of the speaker box and running additional speaker leads for the HF drivers, as well as cable for the LF drivers. BiWiring allows you to use different cable that has been designed with high frequency signal path in mind. It may feature things like silver plating, low capacitance, or as many other "features" as can be tagged to the cable to sell it as a specialist HF conductor. The benefits may be subtle, and not be that noticeable. It does isolate the potential voltage drop along the length of the cable associated with LF energy away from the HF side of the speaker system, and take advantage of Skin Effect, where HF energy tends to travel on the surface of the conductor.
Using a single cable for each channel and leaving the links fitted is perfectly fine and will operate no worries. You could go and spend the extra cash and upgrade your cables to HF and LF BiWire.... the sky is the limit on cost here for what may not be a noticeable difference:)
BiAmping in a different story where much more performance increase is achieved by using a separate channel to amplify HF and LF signals. But you need an amp that has a built HF and LF outputs for each channel to do this. They exists but I have not seen any surround amps that have it.
Go with decent quality realistically priced speaker cable first, then add your HF BiWire to the rig if you are looking for that little bit extra from it:) Good luck, and happy listening.

Last night the storms avoided us and I was able to leave the light trap out all night. I was rewarded with at least 149 moths of 34 species. 14 of these were new moths for the year and 1 of the 14 was a first for the backyard. The new record was an impressive looking moth called a Green-patched Looper Moth (Diachrysia balluca). This is also called a Hologram moth which is understandable when you see the light reflecting off of the forewing. I feel that my photographs do not really do it justice but I did take one photograph with a flashlight pointing at it. As you can see the colour changed from green to bronze when the light was directed at the moth. In addition to this I found my first Underwing moth of the year in the bait trap. So all in all it was a very good moth night! The new species for the year were:
**Green-patched Looper Moth (Diachrysia balluca)**
Orange-barred Carpet Moth (Dysstroma hersiliata)
Northwestern Phoenix Moth (Eulithis xylina)
Scallop Shell (Rheumaptera undulata)
Briseis Underwing (Catocala briseis)
Double Lobed (Apamea ophiogramma)
Brown-streaked Rustic (Hypocoena rufostrigata)
Civil Rustic Moth (Platyperigea montana)
Bronzed Cutworm Moth (Nephelodes minians)
Euxoa tristicula (Euxoa tristicula)

I am an asylum seeker in Ireland. I am reading a lot now a days about the absurd and Jihadi activities of Asylum seekers all over Europe. To tell you the truth, which no one would be able to admit that I never expected a system so organised based on solely humanitarian bases to accommodate people fleeing from persecution. But how the Muslims asylum seekers see this system is very interesting. For the purpose of secrecy I am changing the names of the persons here in order to avoid betrayal of their trust while talking to me or in-front of me as a friend. One of the persons is, Sultan, he is very devout Pakistani, just after the new year eve I mentioned to him the massacre of France where Muslims burned 800 cars. He commented "its good after what they have done to our country we should do that". I was astonished and said "its not a good behavior if they celebrate their new year, we should respect their values and culture as they are accommodating us" He responded," UN is paying for the people who are in asylum process and Pakistan is part of UN and pays good money to UN" I Continued, "Pakistan is surviving on loans from IMF and World bank, Pakistan would not be contributing towards asylums seekers welfare. It must be the Wealthy Western Countries." But he was adamant on His view and insisted that I was under-estimating Pakistan and Pakistan is going to be the Super power very soon. This view is also held by another great analytical asylum seeker Mr.Mazhar, who believes that the economy of America is Going to collapse very soon Making room for Pakistan to be the next super power. Who felt Insulted when I responded In a way that If you try to refute the sun on a sunny day people would call you crazy, but I never meant to insult, believe me. Another Guy named Shah belongs to the most respected cast in Pakistan "Sadaat. Saadat are considered to be the descendants of Daughter of Prophet Muhammad as Muhammad had no son who survived. He had one daughter who was married To Ali, one of the four caliphs after Prophet Muhammad. This Guy "Shah" smokes weed and most of the time remain in a "High" state of consciousness. I don't talk to him much but I can clearly observe that he has a self-proclaimed pride in himself as he talks to the other Muslim guys very insultingly but in return expects respect just because he belongs to the revered cast of Pakistan regardless of his personal bad character or worst attitude. Pakistani Guys consider his ramblings as some kind of Divine revelations because of his way of speaking as if he is In a deep meditative(high) state and disclosing the most precious secrets of Devine. He "revealed" to us while commenting on the Asylum crisis in Europe, "Wake Up Europe, do something For Muslims," as If he was funding the UN for Supporting Asylum seekers. He considers it A right for the Muslims To seek asylum and Duty of the West to protect them.
I also belong to Pakistan but the point is I know how corrupt our Government is, as I have been fighting with the system and raising my voice on various issues in Pakistan. I filed many Public Interest Litigations, and I know exactly how the judiciary responded to my "contemptuous efforts of maligning the Government". Everyone knows about the issues in Pakistan and Muslims worlds. How Muslims countries are infringing the Basic Human Rights in the Name of Religion and curtailing the chances of masses to grow as a nation or on personal scale. No one is willing to accept that, they want to stay in a state of denial.
Europe or west understands the Importance of basic Human Rights and they made a System of Protection for the People escaping the persecution of various types. Why we are denying this civilized attitude of the west. When European or American governments Refuse to accept despite the criticism of their own people in the name of Political Correctness that Islam is not the cause of Problems but Radical Islam is, these governments are respecting your religious preferences and not blaming your religion while knowing exactly how Quran promotes killing Jews and Christian as a religious duty.
Why we forget this when we want sharia For Britain or America that Sharia is the Basic Hurdle In the way of Scientific Development of Muslim Countries. As Quran Denies various Scientific facts but Muslims have to believe in what Quran says as a religious duty, believing it to be the word of God. Quran teaches earth as Flat, Sun Revolving around the earth and setting in a pool of water on one side of the Flat earth. If you can believe, In Pakistan there was an Imaam Of mosque who while using Scientific Inventions like Loud Speaker, fans, Air Conditioners in the Mosque would call Science, a demonic knowledge and was very famous among the masses for being so much outspoken about the "Truths".
In such a manner when Muslims are brought up in a certain way believing certain behaviors as socially accepted behaviors then definitely they will blame women for luring them into committing rapes in Germany, Sweden, or in any of the EU country. Strict Restriction of the Religion have forced Muslims of Egypt to invent a game named as Taharrush( Mob Sexual Assault), which is played openly and a good way to escape Punishment from the Government as the assaulters cannot be easily identified.
Why Muslims forget while stabbing a Swedish caretaker lady, raping Christian Women, Burning Cars in France and Waging war on the west that Saudia and Iran are still unable to resolve the religious differences based on sharia Law. There is no standard, agreed upon, set of sharia rules in Muslim World and Sharia could be one of the reasons of their escape from their own countries. Enforcement of Sharia is the Biggest reason of Mass migration from Syria and Iraq. After escaping Sharia You again want Sharia then why should not the Muslims who want sharia be sent back to Syria to enjoy sharia as enforced. What will wake you up from Slumber, why are you being played at in the hands of radical clerics or terrorist organisations in the name of Sharia which seems to be a religious way to loot and plunder.
There is another strange phenomenon among Muslims, they have an impression in their minds that one who goes to mosque regularly is very righteous and pious man and one who doesn't is not. All of your corruption, Immoralities and bad characteristics doesn't count if you offer prayers five times a day in the mosque. A very well built Belief of forgiveness of sins is behind that meaning thereby if you offer prayer, your previous sins are forgiven and you are born anew to commit new ones. Pilgrimage of Mecca Is considered to be very strong Form of worship in this regard which grants you Devine forgiveness of sins of your previous life. Because of this Concept, rich people of Muslim countries, earn money through thick and thin with every wrong way possible one can think of and at the end of the year they perform Hajj( Pilgrimage to Mecca) and feel relieved and ready for new sins, as previous ones are forgiven. Rights of Allah i.e. Worshiping Allah and his Other duties are regarded as Superior to Human Rights. I don't get this Idea, What's the use of religion if it cannot safeguard your basic rights and freedoms. While you are alive you are suppose to deny every comfort of life in the name of religion in expectation of higher reward from Allah in after life. Why the creator of universe is so inconsiderate that He cannot give you happiness in both lives, if there are. Is He short of Resources. The One who created this vast ever expanding universe, the boundaries of which are not known to the mankind, is short or resources. No, He is not, but we don't have a heart to let everyone live happily, we human beings, try to control the lives of others in the name of Sometimes religion and sometimes other self-proclaimed beliefs. We play with people through their beliefs, we rob people of their hard earned money in order to fill our pockets in the name of Religion. If there is a creator, He does not need your money to convey His message. If there is a Creator, He does not need your satellite channels to spread His word. He created us, If He wants, he can turn our hearts to himself. But He is not Greedy of your prayers or Bucks. I am sure If He is there, He would be more happy if you try to help The Humans in Need of your help and Support. Creator of the Universe does not charge you tax for granting you life or anything in life. Why we don't think. We are ready to pay million to a self proclaimed Man of God but not willing to feed the hungry or help the poor. We are not willing to respect each others' beliefs. Allah is a God so short hearted and Loose tempered that He cannot bear the non-Believers and want them dead But cannot kill them Himself, He needs Muslims For that Purpose. When would you start to think? Where is the Human suppressed in your body because someone else has told you to suppress it in the name of religion when you wanted to help Some Non-Believer. Even Animals deserve compassion and you become so cruel in the Name of Religion that you cannot bear human beings. Wake Up people Wake Up.

7 Career Books That'll Get You the Job—and Change Your Life
Courtesy of Garance Doré
If you're looking for a new job—or a refreshed perspective on your current position—you're not alone. Staying hungry is the first step in nurturing a thriving career. That's why it's probably no surprise that we're on pins and needles, ready to devour the latest crop of books that promise to up your professional game. By utilising scientific breakthroughs and real-life narratives, these books offer a range of strategies and skills that will not only help you get that dream job but improve your overall happiness. Realise your full career potential by adding the following books to your shelf.
In Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mystery of the Creative Mind, psychologist Scott Barry Kaufman distills the brilliance of highly creative people into 10 attributes and habits: imaginative play, passion, daydreaming, solitude, intuition, openness to experience, mindfulness, sensitivity, turning adversity into advantage, and thinking differently. By providing thoughtful explanations of the latest theories in neuroscience and psychology, Kaufman illustrates that the key to deep creativity is to embrace our own contradictions. He applies his theory to the lives of several creative luminaries—including Pablo Picasso, David Foster Wallace, and Thom Yorke—to show readers how to enrich this often overlooked facet of our lives.
Media mogul Arianna Huffington digs deep into the debilitating effects of sleeplessness in her new book, The Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life, One Night at a Time. Huffington's opening statement summarises her thesis perfectly: "We are in the midst of a sleep deprivation crisis. And this has profound consequences—on our health, our job performance, our relationships, and our happiness. What is needed is nothing short of a sleep revolution. Only by renewing our relationship with sleep can we take back control of our lives." American work ethic has largely echoed the sentiment of "You sleep when you die." Huffington weaves together a thoughtful narrative of personal experience, scientific studies, and historical evidence to rebuke this assumption. She blows the whistle on our sleep crisis and, more importantly, provides actionable steps to help us transform our lives for the better.
In his recent book, Originals: How Non-Conformists Move the World, Adam Grant discusses the surprising advantages of being an outsider, and how having a unique perspective can bring individuals unparalleled success and creativity. To quote Malcolm Gladwell, "Reading Originals made me feel like I was seated across from Adam Grant at a dinner party, as one of my favourite thinkers thrilled me with his insights and his wonderfully new take on the world." Some of Grant's more interesting arguments are as follows: Procrastination triggers more creative and productive results; your choice of web browser is a reliable predictor of success and dedication; and having an artistic hobby or interest makes those in the STEM fields dramatically more accomplished.
Recent strides in behavioral science have revealed a better understanding of how our brains work and why we make the choices we do. But few people offer a simple way to apply these scientific findings into actionable steps. In How to Have a Good Day, Caroline Webb, an economist and former McKinsey partner, expertly translates three scientific ideas about our brain's behavior into a practical guide for sustainable energy, expert decision-making, and renewed satisfaction and performance at work. "Webb has given us a great gift," says Jonathan Haidt, a professor at the Stern School of Business. "She has synthesized all the advice coming out of labs around the world, filtered it for quality, and illustrated it with well-chosen examples." Read this if you're looking for the tools to live a happier, more efficient, and always productive life.
In Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, MacArthur "genius grant" recipient and leading psychologist Angela Duckworth argues the secret to outstanding achievement is focused persistence, aka grit—not talent. Duckworth examines the lives of dozens of high achievers across different industries including finance, education, and the military to show the best indicator of success is how you handle setbacks. Those who identify their passions and marry them with unwavering commitment are prone to accomplishing greatness. Those who rely strictly on their intelligence don't have the stamina to win in the long-term.
"Disrupt" has been the buzzword of the tech industry for years. Unicorns such as Uber and Airbnb have risen to gargantuan success by breaking the natural order of more traditional industries by offering a value proposition of convenience, reduced cost, and personalisation. In Disrupt Yourself: Putting the Power of Disruptive Innovation to Work, Whitney Johnson, the co-founder of highly successful investment firm Rose Park Advisors, applies the framework of disruptive innovation to the self.
Johnson argues that the most successful people are those who stray from the existing path to forge their own, even before the existing path is broken. For instance, if you know that climbing the ladder of an existing corporation won't satisfy you, make a calculated move away from the expected. Take a pay cut in favour of a steeper trajectory in another field. Redefine your metrics so you account for psychological and social well-being as well as financial security. "Zigzagging career paths may be common now, but the people who zigzag best don't do it randomly," she tells Harvard Business Review. If you're thinking about a career change, consider Johnson's tenets of self-disruption first.
In Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Highly Distracted World, author and computer science professor Cal Newport offers a cultural critique on our age of technologically enabled distraction. He values the power of deep work—or as he puts it, the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task. The book includes a very helpful four-part training guide for transforming your brain to support this valuable skill. His prose comes to life with memorable stories such as a social media expert buying a round-trip business-class ticket to Tokyo to write a book free from distractions. If you're looking for a way to remove yourself from the shallow chaos of digital overload and dive into a rewarding rhythm of deep focus, read this book.

Daniel Acosta is pushing the boundaries of urban beer making with his LIC Beer Project and Belgian-style farmhouse ales. To pursue that style of brewing in an industrial setting, Acosta designed and built one of the country's only urban coolships for around $25K. For the uninitiated, a coolship is a large, shallow vessel with a wide surface area that allows the wort (unfermented beer) to rapidly cool. During the cool down, naturally occurring yeast and bacteria make their way into the wort and initiate fermentation. (In most breweries and with all ales and lagers, brewers inoculate wort with yeasts or bacteria.) In the following interview, Acosta explains why the coolship is central to LIC and just how it works.
Sean Kenniff: Why use a coolship?
Daniel Acosta: Spontaneous fermentation is brewing in its most natural state. There are several variables that the brewer can manipulate to create the wort, but, ultimately, local microflora will create the beer. It's a style very near and dear to me because it was the first of the Belgians ales I experienced while in Europe.
SK: Why isn't everybody doing it?
DA: That's a good question, considering it's the way all beer was produced at one time. For one, there are many parts of the process that are unpredictable. Modern brewers are used to fermenting beer in stainless steel, as opposed to oak barrels. Secondly, spontaneously fermented beer takes anywhere from one to three years, and not all climates yield the best results. It's a labor of love! It's not the most profitable or efficient brewing method, and after all, we live in a world where people aren't that patient. Many people may not be as familiar with handling or coopering oak vessels, blending, or secondary fermentation in the bottle, all of which are integral to the process.
SK: What types of micro-organisms and bacteria are present in the coolship?
DA: In the batches we've tested, labs found more than 1,500 yeasts and bacteria. Primary fermentation usually starts with a dominance of enterobacteriaceae for about a month, followed by several months of pediococcus, lactobacillus, and several strains of wild saccharomyces. Finally, the beer will finish up with a number of brettanomyces strains.
SK: How do you prep the coolship?
DA: Not very much. We open all the vents to our room [that houses the coolship] the day before we brew. The next day we fill.
SK: Tell us about the journey of a typical beer brewed with your coolship?
DA: We have two base beers that we brew through the coolship, a golden and a rouge. We brew a traditional turbid mash, which is the traditional mashing process used for the production of spontaneously fermented beer, better known as lambic (we don't ever call the beer lambic in honor to the brewers who produce the style in the Senne river valley outside Brussels). The mashing consists of multiple temperature rests through infusions of hot water, along with removal of wort that has not fully converted into fermentable sugar. The process results in a highly dextrinous wort that eventually acts as food for the wild yeasts and bacteria. We then sparge with very hot water to extract a high yield from the malted and unmalted grain. This also results in a more tannic wort. Following a long boil, we move into the coolship and allow the wort to cool down overnight. The next day we come in and fill oak barrels and wait for fermentation to begin.

Barry Zito, Aaron Rowand, Tim Lincecum; Bernard King, Andrew Bogut; Reggie McKenzie, Rolando McClain, Hue Jackson; Anthony Davis
AFTER FIVE poor-to-mediocre seasons, Barry Zito has turned his career around, and Giants fans seem to be willing to overlook his previous efforts in a Giants uniform.
Why this change in Zito? Some think it's because he got married in December, 2011, and they're probably right, though perhaps not for the reason they think. I believe his wife got Zito to face reality: If he'd continued to pitch the way he had with the Giants, he might have been released before the end of the season, just as the Giants did with Aaron Rowand when he had more than a year left at $12 million. Zito would have been paid for this year but his baseball career would be over. When a team is willing to eat a big contract, that's a red light to other teams. Rowand's only offer was a minor league contract with the Miami Marlins – and they released him in March last year.
As it is, Zito will not only pitch out this year but, if he pitches 200 innings, will qualify for another year at $18 million. I'm sure his wife was aware of that.
Zito is a good person without question; his charitable acts prove that. But he doesn't have the focus that top baseball players have to have. I think at heart he's more of an artistic personality. His parents were both musicians and he's written at least one song. There's a big difference between a musician/singer and an athlete. The musician is reacting to what he wants to do and how the audience is reacting. The athlete always has to focus on his competition – hitters for a pitcher – and blank out everything else. Zito, by contrast, has often seemed to be moving in his own private world, as a musician might.
His personal behavior has also been somewhat erratic. He was drafted out of high school but chose instead to enroll at USC. Under baseball's rules, he would not have been eligible for the draft again until after his junior year but he transferred to a junior college after his freshman year, so he was drafted a year later by the A's. He was an early success with the A's, winning 17 games in his first full season then following that with a 23-5 year that won him the Cy Young Award in 2002, though he never got a mention in the "Moneyball" movie.
After that, Zito drifted through the rest of his A's career. He was only nine games over .500 in his next (and last) five seasons with the A's, and his ERA went as high as 4.48 one season.
His last two games, in the 2006 postseason, were an accurate assessment of his A's career. In the Division series, he pitched brilliantly against the Minnesota Twins, yielding just one run in eight innings as the A's won. His next appearance, a game I saw at the Coliseum, started at dusk and the hitters couldn't see the ball for three innings. After that, it was bombs away for the Tigers and Zito was out with two outs in the fourth inning, having surrendered five runs on seven hits.
Despite that, the Giants gave him the richest contract for a free agent pitcher in history, about half again the only other offer, by the Mets. Yikes! I wrote at the time that it was a terrible decision by the Giants, and Zito proved me right for the next five years. Time and again he'd tell writers in the dressing room that he didn't know what had happened, that he thought he had good stuff, etc. , etc., etc.
What he didn't have was concentration. It wasn't difficult to see what Zito needed to do to win: He had to throw strikes early in the count, so he didn't have to throw a fat pitch or walk a hitter. But, time after time, he'd nibble, nibble, nibble, which meant he'd walk batters and then have to come in with fat pitches.
Now, finally, he has some focus and is pitching well. Still not up to that contract he signed, but that's not his fault. The Giants did a very poor job of scouting him with the A's, I guess because they had to go so far to see him.
IRONICALLY, THE pitcher who twice won Cy Young awards, Tim Lincecum, is now pitching as Zito did in his first five years with the Giants. Apparently, cutting his hair wasn't the answer. The Giants have won in both of Lincecum's starts but it's been in spite of him, not because of him. He gave up six runs last night but the Giants, in a rare offensive display, scored nine themselves to beat the Rockies.
One of Lincecum's problems is physical: He's lost some zip on his fast ball. There have been many lefthanders who have won despite mediocre fast balls – remember Kirk Reuter? – but that's seldom true of righthanders. Greg Maddox is an obvious exception but Maddox never threw anything that didn't have movement, so hitters who thought they were zeroing in on his pitches never were.
Baseball people will tell you that lefthanded pitchers never throw the ball straight, either, but I think their primary advantage is that hitters see few lefthanded pitchers until they reach the majors. Billy Beane once pointed out the number of righthanded hitters who had trouble with lefthanded pitchers, and I think that's the reason. It's rare to see a lefthanded pitcher in high school, and there are still relatively few in the minor leagues.
Lincecum has a variety of pitches, but it's been his fast ball that has set up those other pitches. That's especially true of his changeup, which is much less effective now that there is much less difference between that and his fast ball.
When he pitched out of the bullpen in the postseason last year, Lincecum was very effective, and I think that will eventually be where he'll wind up. I also think it will be for another team. The Giants have committed considerable money to long-term contracts for Buster Posey and Matt Cain, and even to Angel Pagan for four years. They can't afford to make the same kind of commitment to Lincecum with is uncertain future. And, they're probably quite happy he didn't agree to one when they offered it earlier.
BERNARD KING, who was elected to the basketball Hall of Fame last week, had a short period with the Warriors but it was memorable.
King was a dynamic player, with moves around the basket designed to get him an open shot, but what I've always remember about him was the way he could get the ball at midcourt and just explode to the basket on a one-on-one fast break. Dribbling, he could move faster than his defenders. Before and since, I've never seen a player who could do that.
The Warriors traded him after two years for Michael Ray Richardson, one of the moves that the Warriors used to make which kept them from duplicating the one NBA title they've won, in 1975.
I don't expect this year's team to win a championship either, but at least they're making the right moves. I was skeptical of the Andrew Bogut trade when it was made because of his injury history and, of course, he has missed several games this season. But when he's in the lineup, he gives the Warriors a defensive presence they haven't had for years, blocking shots and forcing awkward trajectories on shots he can't quite reach.
And, I don't miss Monta Ellis and his me-first attitude a bit.
This Warriors team has been an exciting one to watch because they're working together – most of the time, anyway – and forging their own identity. And, they've made the playoffs for only the second time in 19 seasons. It's also a good sign that they seem to be a team which can improve while the Lakers, long the dominant team in the west – and sometimes, the entire NBA – have been a dysfunctional bunch all season, with a coach who has the wrong system and star players who are too old or too temperamental to play together. Kobe Bryant has played heroically to keep them in contention but if they make the playoffs, which is still in doubt, they'll soon be out.
None of those in the media who follow the NBA closely expect the Warriors to get beyond the first round of the playoffs. They're probably right, but they're building a foundation for future success, unlike the Don Nelson teams which could be fun to watch but were always limited.
THE CAL WOMEN didn't quite reach their ultimate goal, winning the NCAA championship, but they justified President Obama's prediction by making the Final Four, and that accomplishment solidifies the program. Now, the Bay Area has two of the top women's programs in the country – because they have two of the top coaches, Tara VanDerveer at Stanford and Lindsay Gottlieb at Cal. Interestingly enough, Cal had no All-American players but then, neither did Louisville, which won the tournament. The media obviously doesn't look beyond the schools that have traditionally been the powers in the women's game. The draft picks by WNBA teams will probably give a much better indication of who the best players are.
OOPS! The Raiders newly-acquired quarterback, Matt Flynn, was a seventh round draft pick of the Green Bay Packers, not a first-rounder as I wrote last week. He still looks like a solid quarterback, though, and one young enough to be able to play for several years yet, which Carson Palmer clearly could not have. He should be healthy, too, because he's hardly played, so he hasn't been hit often.
General manager Reggie McKenzie has been busy this offseason, getting rid of the dead wood, most of whom had absurdly high salaries. Rolando McClain was the latest to go. Frankly, I thought McClain was a good pick at the time because he'd played well in college but he was exposed in the NFL because he didn't have the ability to move quickly, side to side or back and forward that a pro linebacker needs. He was also an example of the late Al Davis's consistent failure to examine character flaws in his high draft picks. If he had, surely McClain and quarterback JaMarcus Russell would never have been drafted. Of course, Hue Jackson made the McClain situation worse when he refused to sit him for at least a game when McClain was charged with firing a gun beside the head of a "friend." (The charge was eventually dropped because the man involved didn't want to pursue it any longer.) McClain played in that game in Miami, the Raiders were thoroughly trounced and began a slide that took them out of the playoffs. After the last game, Jackson publicly blamed his players. Yet, one Oakland columnist still maintains he shouldn't have been fired. Are you kidding me?
Meanwhile, McKenzie has been very busy in the offseason, not only getting rid of the overpaid, underproducing players who were cluttering up the roster but filling their spots with players who seem to be solid players, though without great reputations.
The question of what he will do on draft day is still open because the Raiders have the No. 3 pick in the first round and then none in the second and fifth rounds. I think the Raiders would be better served by trading that pick to get 2-3 picks, perhaps one later in the first round and others in rounds 2-3, but that kind of trade depends on a willing partner. If he can't do that, I'd expect the Raiders to draft for defensive help, probably a lineman. Most of McKenzie's moves so far have been to pick up defensive help because he knows that, if your defense is strong, you're always in the game. When you have a defense giving up 30-plus points a game, the quarterback has to take too many chances to put points on the board – and he gets blamed by fans for throwing interceptions. I learned that lesson with John Brodie and the 49ers in the '60s – and that's exactly what happened to Palmer last year.
NEXT WEEK: My column may be late appearing because the 49ers have tentatively scheduled a pre-draft meeting with general manager Trent Baalke that day. I'll go to that, though I know Baalke won't give away any 49ers secrets, because I always learn something from those meetings.
In general, I've liked the moves Baalke has made so far, including signing offensive tackle Anthony Davis to a long-term contract. Right after the draft in which Davis was selected, Baalke had a media session in which he showed videos of the drafted players. They were the best shots of the players, of course, but the ones of Davis showed his athleticism, which was very important. He was the youngest starter in the league that year and he made many mistakes, which earned him criticism, but knowing his youth and his potential, I always felt he would become a star.
Baalke and his predecessor, Scot McCloughan, have used high draft picks to get offensive linemen because, as McCloughan explained in one media session, proven offensive linemen are almost priced out of the market. The McCloughan/Baalke picks have transformed the 49ers line into one considered the best in the NFL, certainly the basis for their offensive success.

News From the Baskin Lab
The mission of the Baskin laboratory is to investigate the causes of congenital and acquired pediatric urologic diseases. By understanding etiology we hope to advance prospects for cure/prevention. The main focus of the laboratory is to understand hypospadias.
Welcome to the Baskin Lab
Our Research
Featured Work
This paper provides the first detailed description of flutamide-induced hypospadias in the rat based upon wholemount, histologic, three-dimensional reconstruction, scanning electron microscopic, and immunocytochemical analysis.
In this abstract, we describe the "double zipper" mechanism of human male urethral formation, where the distal zipper opens the urethral groove through canalization of the urethral plate, and a second closing zipper follows behind and closes the urethral groove to form the tubular urethra.
