When Galaxies Collide
Session 1: 10am Friday, 5 february
Once upon a time we thought the Universe was static and unchanging. These days of course, we know differently. The whole Universe is in motion and, from time to time, galaxies pass too close to each other and gravity takes over; the results are often spectacular. Join us for a tour of the universe as we look at what galaxies are made of, take a bird's-eye view of our own Milky Way, then look at what happens when gravity becomes irresistible, and ending with a sneak preview of our own galaxy's distant future.

Google starts highlighting fact-checks in News
- October 18, 2016
- technews
Today Google added a new "fact-check" tag to its popular Google News service. The site aggregates popular timely news from multiple sources and has traditionally grouped them with tags like "opinion," "local source" and "highly cited." Now readers can see highlighted fact-checks right next to trending stories.
The company cites the growing prominence of fact-checking sites as one of the reasons for creating the tag. Content creators will be able to add the new fact-check tag to posts themselves using a finite set of pre-defined source labels.
ClaimReview from Schema.org will be used to compile and organize stories offering factual background. The Schema community builds markups for structured data on the internet. The group is sponsored by Google but also has support from Microsoft, Yahoo and Yandex.
Casual readers in the U.S. and U.K. can find nuggets of fact within the expanded view of news stories on web and mobile versions of the service. Fingers crossed the new tool doesn't result in stories claiming that the earth is really flat rising to the top of our feeds.
On a support page, Google explains that it holds the power to intervene if posts are improperly tagged as fact-checks.
"Please note, that if we find sites not following those criteria for the
ClaimReview markup, we may, at our discretion, either ignore that site's markup or remove the site from Google News."
This may not prevent false stories from rising up in Google News, but it will make it a lot harder. It doesn't appear that very many fact-check stories have propagated yet on Google News. We couldn't find any in a quick visit to the site, but given the timeliness of the presidential election in the U.S., we can only expect the system to be put through its paces in the coming weeks.

Last night marked the seventy-third annual Golden Globe Awards, which took place in none other than the land of the stars themselves…Hollywood, California. Though some argue that these shows are pointless, I actually enjoyed last night's run, thanks to the hilarious host, Ricky Gervais. That being said, a favorite past time of mine is watching the red carpet. As much as I love to see my favorite actors, actresses, screenwriters, etc. win validation for their hard work, I also love to see which of my favorite runway moments will come to life. However, in the past few years I have been increasingly disappointed with the selection of attire that is donned among said stars. This year is no exception. There weren't many outstanding or breathtaking looks. Nearly everyone seemed to play it safe. Without further ado, in no particular order are my favorite looks from what felt to me like a lackluster red carpeted evening. (Photos courtesy of Popsugar, E! Online, and NYMag The Cut)
|Image found here
Kate Hudson wore a Michael Kors two-piece gown that accentuated her toned and slim physique while highlighting her beautiful golden tan. It was simple, yet effective and let her show the right amount of skin for such a high profile night. Her simple waves kept the entire look light and fresh. Hudson's jewels were by Forevermark Diamonds.
Zendaya Coleman, always the stunner looked sublime in a red embroidered, v-necked gown by Marchesa. The actress also donned jewels and a clutch by the same designer. Though I wouldn't call this her best yet, Zendaya does know how to turn heads wherever she goes and for that I have included her on my list.
Rooney Mara's Alexander McQueen dress was not a favorite of mine, but I did love her hair and makeup. Mara was one of the stars that I could not stop staring at last night. The bold brow/lip combo with a next level ponytail did so much for her. I only wish she wore a better dress that did not match her skin tone so closely.
Brie Larson looked beautiful in a Calvin Klein Collection dress and Tiffany & Co. jewels. This look was very reminiscent of a 90s red carpet, but relevant enough to be worn today. It was sleek, glamorous, and fun.
Alicia Vikander looked sublime in a white Louis Vuitton gown. White gowns can be very wedding-like and are therefore difficult to wear, but Vikander pulled hers off effortlessly. I loved the simple hair and minimal jewels. Proving that side-boob is once again the new cleavage, Alicia Vikander's look was without a doubt one of the evening's best.
Eddie Redmayne will always remain a favorite of mine. Last night's patterned suit proved that menswear does not, by any means need to be boring or tacky when it comes to black tie dressing. Perfectly tailored, artfully coordinated, and lovely addition of a handkerchief. Suit by Gucci.
Melissa Benoist evoked freshness and youth last night in a Monique Lhuillier strapless, floor length dress. Wearing Stuart Weitzman shoes, a Judith Leiber clutch, and Irene Neuwirth jewels, Benoist looked sensational last night. Her soft waves and simple makeup tied up the look very nicely.
Lady Gaga looked sensational in a black off the shoulder, plunging neck gown by Atelier Versace. I am loving the new look that is less about a distasteful shock value, and more about celebrating her classic beauty.
Kirsten Dunst is back and she's better, as Bryson Tiller would say. Her black Valentino gown looked so right last night. The symmetry in the front and the nearly non-existent back spoke volumes for the Fargo actress who I feel like I haven't seen in ages. Well done!
Amy Adams reminded me of the Little Mermaid's Ariel last night. In a sleek, blood red, sequined Atelier Versace number, the actress looked nothing short of beautiful.
Brad Pitt—all I can say is Ding! Dong! The beard is dead! I was not a fan of the long haired, bearded days that were recently upon us. Now I am ecstatic that they are over. Pitt looked very chic and put together last night in a black suit, with a matching bow-tie. (Designer unknown).
Helen Mirren was the epitome of class and grace in a black Badgley Mischka gown with Harry Winston jewels. I loved the bit of sheer at Mirren's neck and the pop of color on her lips.
Judith Light showed all of us how to rock an off-white tuxedo in the winter. Accessorized with silver shoes and jewels, the actress' Maggie Norris couture tuxedo was a scene-stealing outfit that I am saving for future reference.
Caitriona Balfe's Alexander McQueen gown was the perfect ode to funeral core—a phenomenon coined by writer, Esther Levy last Spring. The airy, gothic, floor length piece was very welcome among metallic, white, and brightly colored dresses on the red carpet.
Lastly, the ever so dapper Jon Hamm looked elegant last night in a navy three piece suit. Though the designer is unknown, his classic charm will transcend time.
Do you have a favorite look from last night? A least favorite? Let us know in the comments!

One of the hottest gambling games for online casino is online poker game. There is a lot of benefit in playing an online poker game and this is the driving factor that has helped online casinos make lots of money.
Online poker game differs from the conventional casino poker in various fronts. To begin with
online poker game attracts lots of fresher because they can learn the game from the tutorials that the web provides. There are a number of sites that can turn a beginner into an adept in the field. Besides this
you have software packages for the poker game that can be downloaded so that you can play at any time and improve your skills.
The second point that distinguishes online poker with the traditional one is the skill set. In real life
players sit across each other
read the others behavior and decide on their move depending on the style and mood. This is eliminated in the case of online poker and the players concentrate on betting pattern. Poker as a game requires adaptation and this is what a successful player of online poker should aim.
The third reason is the number of games played has been on the rise over the years. The weaknesses of the real life pokers are human elements. The dealers can average about 30 hands every hour. The rate at which online pokers play is very fast. The process of shuffling
counting the chip and dealing with them are done with in case of online poker game and this makes it easy for the players to deal with about sixty to around eighty hands every hour.
The players also tend to pocket more money while playing poker games online due to the fast pace of the game. This makes online poker game players deal with multiple tables at the same time. The profit of the players is the next criterion. If the player is looking for increasing his income
he can do so by raising his limit. But the issue is that you are not allowed to play at many tables at the same. This will not increase your income.
This is also possible with online poker game but there is an opportunity to increase it if you intend to. In the case of online poker game
you can deal with multiple tables with the various tables displayed on various windows in the same system. This will help you increase your earnings by almost ten times and this also depends on the poker site you have entered.
The greatest advantage of playing online poker game is that they help beginners to improve their skills by dealing with different players. In addition to this
there are a lot of tutorials available in the packages and sites that will help new players learn and practice.
Online poker games provide rooms that give money for the poker players to practice in an environment with no fear of losing money. Earlier people who were new to the game had no room for improving their skills. But now with the introduction of online poker game
new entrants are able to learn
improve and enjoy the game.
Online poker games also suffer from a few problems like fraud. But there is nothing to prove the same. Online poker groups have also taken a lot of precautions to minimize the frauds.
They have come up with a lot of steps with regard to the safety of a sites and the secure nature of the bet among the poker players. For instance
security can trace the internet protocol address of a particular computer and check out if a player is close to another system in the same room. It is assumed that people rig the game and try to gain an advantage over other in a very dishonest manner.
The next problem with online poker game is about the website one is using. It may be bots or it may be computer programs which play the role of players so that the game is in the house's favor. It is only once that the website ran online casino. It was discovered and they were asked to close down at once.
The introduction
of internet has the changed the way in which people today play online poker game as against those days when they used to be played in a dramatic scene. This is considered to have a long standing with the number of people playing
learning to play
risking and betting on the increasing trend.

It is approximately two hundred years since poker has been introduced but the poker that is being called online poker is a recently introduced phenomenon. Though online poker is of recent origin
it has gained popularity at a very fast pace and is now played all over the world with a new perception.
Online sportsbooks were the first to be introduced in the internet and they were followed by many
one among them being online poker. Online casinos were also introduced in the mid 90s
the same time when sportsbooks reached the internet. Microgaming
that came up in the early 90s is a good example and has now become a casino software developer.
In 1998
Planet poker entered the scene and was the first to create an online poker gambling rooms. It was the first and the last of its kind for quite long. With passage of time
many new and big poker sites reached the net carrying a maximum rate of about 3 dollars with an initial rake of five percent. The industry was recognized only in 1998 but it noteworthy that the rates have been almost the same.
In 1999
Paradise Poker was created and this has now become the leader in industry. It was around this time that Dutch Boyd created Poker Spot.
Though Poker spot is the pioneer in running poker tournaments online
they faced whole lot of problems. The group did not collect the deposits of the players from its credit card partners. The company did not remit the winnings of the players as all deposits it held
were not returned. This resulted in their fall.
The introduction of the Netellers e-cash system has reduced the repetitions of the problems encountered by the Poker spot group in other poker players. The online poker groups are provided with funds from the Neteller system. The Netellers e-cash system frees the players from the trouble of using the wire transfer or credit card to deposit money in order to enter the poker group. This has helped in the minimization of frauds and improved the credibility of the company.
In the year 2001
online poker industry welcomed the entry of the two giant firms
Party Poker and Poker Stars. Paradise was on the lead until 2003
when they were overtaken by Party Poker due to the latter?s strategic advertising. The launch of World Poker Tour along with the Party Poker Million strategies attracted a lot of people and drove the group to success.
Chris MoneyMaker also contributed a lot to the popularity and growth of online poker. He was charged with 40 dollars to enter the poker room. He won the satellite tournament conducted by the Poker stars and was qualified for the final and the main event. He won the topmost prize of 2.5 Million dollars in a game considered to be one of the biggest of the World's Series of Poker tournaments and in which about 839 participants had contested.
The creation of the site http://www.pokertips.org made online poker more accessible to all people especially to those who were new to the field of online poker. In 2004
that is one year after the launch of the site
the game became very popular with the fascinating story of Mr. Moneymaker adding another feather to its cap. The companies pocketed huge amounts and there were other entrants like Noble Poker and the Full Tilt Poker to the industry as well.
a listed sportsbook acquired Paradise Poker and this contributed to the growth of gambling industry. A lot of companies considered listing in the stock market as it helped them get funds to aid expansion of their business.
The United Kingdom has passed a legislation which states that gambling is legal.
Today we have a lot of sites that educate people who are new to the industry on the game. They aid in developing the skills of the beginners and making them professionals. Here are a few books on online poker: the Super System which is by Doyle Brunson
the Hold
'em Poker for the Advanced Players and this is by Sklansky
the Killer Poker which is by John Vorhaus and Texas Holdem which is by Ken Warren. You are advised to learn the basic skills and the poker theory from experts.

Learning the art of poker play is a skill that takes a whole lot of time. Its no wonder that poker players and intending poker players sometimes feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to picking the best online poker guide as a resource to help them pave the way towards better poker plays.
Luckily thats all about to change because 5plusnet poker guide is compiled by poker industry professionals who have player interests at heart. Indeed the fact that online casinos only profit off the rake and dont actually lay claim to any of the online poker pot is reason enough to believe that casinos and poker sites actually do want people to learn to play and keep them playing by providing them with as much information as possible to keep them at the tables.
Poker tips and tricks you can find at Lucky Lady online slots
There are many tips which online poker players can take with them when it comes to enjoying this great game. Foremost among them is the ability to be able to control emotional urges to raise or fold
that eagerness to quickly jump in or bail out is as evident as the smile forming at the corner of a players lips when sensing imminent victory. Poker is all about control. Its about controlling those urges and playing those hands as professionally as possible without giving too much if anything away to others.
Remember that going to poker school
As players inherently do when they read online poker guides is as much about reading the information as it is about taking it in and applying it. Poker requires discipline. That comes in the form of knowing how much you can afford to wager before the gaming has started. Going in with a blank check approach is feeble. If youre not accustomed to budgeting
take a 101 course and learn to know what you have to gamble with before you lose what you dont. Luckily you can enjoy playing for free before you face real-money plays at your favorite game of poker. And online poker offers such low-limit gaming that its affordable to most everyone who wants to enjoy some good poker action. The education begins

Extended Profile
*****PLEASE NOTE......200 books wild released on March 12 in Leatherhead,Church Road,were in fact donated to the Pitstop Drop-in Centre(Charity) in Guildford Road.Collected from me on 15 March.Due to my ancient laptop I find I am unable to add new crossing zones.My apologies.*****
As of March 2010 my Wild Releasing activity will be strictly curtailed as I have been diagnosed with both osteo-arthritis of the spine and osteoporosis.I cannot leave the house much - cannot walk without my 'wheels!- and even have difficulty reading because it is so uncomfortable sitting and holding a book.I will not go into details re.constant pain,anger and frustration.BUGGER BUGGER BUGGER!!!!
It also means that my beloved Drum Circle is now defunct.Massive Expletives Deleted!!!!!!!!!!
Do not even bother sending 'begging' PMs for books as I will not even reply!
MY definitions....
PC - see notes below (Only books on this shelf reflect my true interests!)I prefer to call it my Personal Collection,as nothing is permanent.
AVL - available for ME to wild release,not generally up for grabs!(These books are heavily labelled,stamped and otherwise marked as 'Bookcrossing' books)
TBR - by me before I decide it's fate!
RES - I have specific plans for it
|dagon may explode without warning

Say hello to my little pixie friend - Wisteria - who will show you what the weather is like at the moment down my way! (Sometimes,for no apparent reason,she takes a little walk.If she has,no doubt she will be back soon.)
As she was feeling lonely,her little friend Jared from the Isle of Man ,has come to visit!
In honour of a friend (an ex-pupil) from Ontario,who has just been to visit me,I am adding a Canadian pixie named after his wife.So say Hi to Marlene from Ontario!
(She has quite an extensive wardrobe,compared to Wisteria!)
I live alone,and have a grown up son,who's into fast motor-bikes and off-road jeeps.He sometimes takes me green-laneing with him. I'm an Ex-school librarian among other things,have had many jobs from furrier to Military Bandswoman,and Ice-lolly packer to Civil Servant.Amical separation from my husband of 38 years (just a ruse to get out of buying me a big fat ruby for our 40th anniversary,is my guess!)
I have a sister,3 years my junior,just as nutty as me, who lives on the Isle of Man and keeps goats and who is a teacher of children with special needs(mainly deaf and a little slow at learning and the blind.)She taught herself Braille and Sign Language.Beastie was recently widowed and now has just the goats,chickens,guinea fowl,cats,and lurchers for company!
Into RPGs and LARP,especially Call of Cthulhu (great fun in the middle of a wood ,in the middle of the night!)and was ,until a knee injury stopped it,a member of Regia Anglorum,the Dark Ages Re-enactment Society. I'm a cat-loving,book-loving ,aging hippy weirdo according to people who know me,but what do They know?(the truth possibly).I'm referred to sometimes as the 'old Wise-Woman' due to my odd ways with herbs and potions and such ,but I'm quite harmless really! In fact, some times they just call me a silly old bat!
I'll read anything except Mills & Boon ,so-called chick-lit,and Booker type modern fiction. Just love Gothic type horror,Gruesome horror,vampyre and supernatural fiction,some s-f and selective fantasy,adore Terry Pratchett,and especially H.P.Lovecraft and his Cthulhu Mythos. I particuarly like the detection novels of Tony Hillerman,and some other detective fiction,especially 'country house' and 'locked room' type murder mystery ,the John Dickson Carr and Carter Dickson type.Have just got into Kathy Reichs as well.(I think I could have phrased that better!)Also all sorts of non-fiction including myth,folklore,occult,spirituality,legends etc.history,biography and everything else.
Among my other hobbies/interests are..drumming/chanting;cross-stitch;drumming/chanting;painting my 'little people'(25mm.metal figures);drumming/chanting;American Indian crafts/history/religion.I also adore old,bad,black and white creature-feature films,and cult horror movies - favorite,of course is 'The Wicker Man'.And MGM type musicals.And foreign films esp.Kurasawa.Did I mention drumming/chanting?I run a monthly Sacred Hoop drumming circle,where we do healing,meditation,the occasional craft-work.....and drumming and chanting!!!!(Sadly I've had to give up this Group for various reasons-financial,lack of suitable venue,no transport and a debilitating back condition,and I miss it SO MUCH)
And of course,sleeping,when my insomnia lets me!!I tend to go from one extreme to another....Given the chance,I could sleep for England.
My favorite foods are asparagus,blackberrries,and seafood of any kind esp.shellfish. So,naturally,my doctor says I'm not to eat any of these for medical reasons!! I'll drink anything except red or white wine(but I love rose)NB - just discovered an extraordinary Hungarian red'Bor Forras which is unbelievable!!....special likes are Champagne,Guinness,(seperately or mixed!),Tequila,and Kahlua. And hot chocolate with thick cream on top,with cinnamon.......
My favorite animals and birds are cats,rats and bats,wolves,crows and magpies.I also like peacocks and the lonesome sound they make.I would love to howl like a wolf,but can only manage a dog-fox bark,which is OK as a fox is one of my power animals.I don't like ants,especially the flying kind,or daddy-long-legs(crane flies.) Spiders are nice!
I also love good old-fashioned rock,heavy metal,blues,country,folk....oh,anything that grabs me!And tattoos.
I also run the OBCZ at 'The Star' Public House in West Street,Dorking.(This is listed in the 'Go Hunting'pages as being in Station Road.It's actually on the corner)This is a fantastic,Rainbow friendly,TV-free place......drop in if you're in the area!!
I think that's enough.
PLEASE NOTE.......I am not in the least interested in trading books,I prefer to wild release.However,if you can persuade me that it is in my best interests,I may consider it,if you have something I desperately want,on your shelf! Financial constraints preclude me from sending books to other countries,in any case....unless I think it would be to my advantage!! I absolutely will not even answer 'give-me' PMs, so don't even think about it. :0)
Feb.2004. Have decided to list my complete library.All of these will be status-marked PERSONAL (note....NOT Permanent) COLLECTION and will definitely NOT be for release,unless I get a better copy,or there is an earth-shattering reason to part with them,as they mostly are signed copies or otherwise very sentimentally close to me, or used frequently for reference, so please DON'T ask for for them,as you will not even get a reply!!!(See also note below)I do,however,have an annual cull to make space for more books and the 'victims' then go on the AVL list.
THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN A LONG,LONG TIME IS......Hanta Yo - R.B.
The Tinner's Corpse- B.Knight; Fear in the Forest - B.Knight; Broken Angels - R.Montanari; DVD Delirium vol.1 - N.Thompson; The Sleeping Doll - J.Deaver; Girl Missing - T.Gerritsen; The Surgeon - T.Gerritson; The Sinner - T.Gerritson;The Apprentice - T.Gerritson; Body Double - T.Gerritson; Vanish -T.Gerritson; Places of Folklore & Legend in Britain; Element Ency.of Native Americans; The Limit -M.Camell; The Crossing Places - E.Griffiths; The Janus Stone - E.Griffiths; The House at Seas End - E.Griffiths; A Roomfull of Bones - E.Griffiths; Dying Fall - E.Griffiths; Frozen Out - Q.Bates; Cold Comfort - Q.Bates; People of the Nightland - W & K.

(...from "Tom O'Bedlam's Night Out" by Darrell Schweitzer.)
PLEASE NOTE....Books that I have registered have the words 'A' and 'The' omitted,or added at the end of the title,and Authors have final surname first.
ALSO...(no image)means the book is listed by Amazon,but no image is available.Otherwise,if there is no picture,the book is not listed.
I have now found a source of incredibly cheap books! Charity shops will accept donations for bags of books they are just going to throw out for the bin men!Such books are listed as 'Rescued' and are not going to be read,only released.
My grown-up son has kindly 'donated' most of his old children's and teenage books,and these are listed as such.Thanks,Matt!
These books generally will not be released.
I have to have the occasional 'weeding' session to make room for new books,so some PCs will be moved to AVL.
All my PC books now have BC labels (ready for release)but no other markings.

Which Bones Do What?
The spinal column is divided into five sections, each with a different number of bones, known as vertebrae and including the cranial joint.
The vertebrae serve as a "suit of armor" for the spinal column. Nerves, from the spine, project out to the body from the contoured spaces between the vertebrae.
When these spaces change in size due to misalignment of the involved vertebrae, a subluxation occurs. This means that the nerve is being pinched ( little or more ) and signals are not being conducted along that nerve as well they should be (or not at all ).
Every organ, muscle and tissue group is controlled by one or more of these nerve(s). This means that every aspect of your body's health is affected; the way we feel, the way we grow and grow older, even the way we learn (through the five senses of sight, smell, taste, touch & sound).
Hinder the nerves communication and the brain has less than 100% access to the body and the body has less ability to help itself to function normally and be healthy and/or heal.

THE nephew of former Manchester United star Brian Kidd has been jailed for football hooliganism.
Michael Kidd, 20, was sentenced to three months and banned from matches for six years for his part in trouble involving 400 fans after a Leeds United-Manchester United game.
His uncle Brian, who is head coach at Leeds and a former coach at Old Trafford, was not in court. Michael Kidd, a Manchester United fan, was caught on camera as he threw a chair leg at rival supporters in March last year, Leeds magistrates heard.
Kidd, of Mainway, Alkrington, Middleton, had brought "misery and embarrassment'' to his family.
Kidd was convicted last month of using threatening words and behaviour. He was returned to a young offenders' institution - where he is detained for a separate offence of violence - for an extra three months.

Sports and activities volunteering
Help encourage healthy lifestyles or use your skills, experience and passion to support others in their activities.
Still not sure what you want to do?
If you're still undecided about what volunteer role you'd like to pursue, ask yourself these three questions to figure out what best suits you.
1. What area would I like to volunteer in?
Consider your motivations for volunteering, what is important to you? For example, you might be interested in:
- helping elderly, young or vulnerable people
- improving health and education in communities
- tackling social exclusion and injustice
- helping to protect the environment and the welfare of animals
- supporting others in achieving their goals
2. How often would I like to volunteer?
You can choose how frequently you'd like to contribute your time, for example you could take part in any of these ways:
- a one-off event such as supporting a fundraising event
- a regularly scheduled commitment like working with primary school children once a week to support reading
- flexible and negotiated arrangements such as working with a food bank as and when your commitments allow
3. How would I like to interact with others?
Different personalities will be drawn to different roles within volunteering. Do you like trying something new and different or are you more comfortable with using the knowledge and skills you have already? Would you prefer to work one-to-one or as a part of a larger team?
Top tips for getting started in volunteering
• Be realistic: if you've never done any volunteer work before or you aren't sure how much time you can commit to it or if you'll like it or not, try a one-off event
• Ask questions: talk to the organisation's representative and take their contact details so you can get in touch again if you have further questions
• Find out more: research the organisation and ask if you can speak to someone who already volunteers in the same organization – preferably a student so you can find out how they make it work for them
DBS Checks
LJMU will undertake DBS clearance without cost to volunteers. For further information about DBS checks please email email@example.com.

Writer. Adventurer. Currently working on The Dreamless City, a series of steampunk novels and short stories.
I wouldn't be doing this today, the writing thing, if it hadn't been for J.R.R. Tolkien. Happy birthday, Ronald!
The father of modern fantasy, especially high fantasy, deserves some mad props (is it still cool to say that?). He blazed a trail that allowed so many writers to follow his path and share our meager visions of fantastic worlds. When I consider the depth and breadth of Middle Earth, it leaves me amazed. The lore, the legends, the languages, the lyrics to his songs (which were wonderful to hear in The Hobbit), Tolkien wove it all together into an amazing world that children and adults visit again and again.
He's right there at the top of the list for me, along with Alexander Dumas and C.S. Lewis. Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, and Lewis Carroll are not far behind. If I had to pick one author, however, that was the complete package, with an immersive world, unique characters, and a grand adventure, it would have to be J.R.R. Tolkien.
And on that note, back to my meager vision already in progress!

US: March quarter GDP growth is looking soft - NABBy Sandeep Kanihama
Tony Kelly, Senior Economist at NAB, suggests that the US jobs growth, business surveys and consumer sentiment all point to an economy in good shape as March quarter GDP growth is looking soft but a weak start to the year has not been unusual in recent times.
Key Quotes
"Another solid jobs report, signs inflation – and wages – are rising as well as positive consumer sentiment and strong business survey readings all point to an economy in good shape."
"However, the actual 'hard' data that will be used to put together the estimate of March quarter GDP is looking weak, and we have revised down our expectation for growth at the start of the year. We think this slowdown will be temporary. The Fed obviously also thinks so as it increased the fed funds target rate by 25bps in its meeting this week and continues to signal further, 'gradual', rate rises."
"In February, the ISM surveys moved higher – the manufacturing survey reached its highest level since August 2014 and the non-manufacturing survey its highest level since late 2015. Consumer sentiment has improved noticeably since the Presidential election, and is back around pre-GFC levels."
"There was also another solid jobs report for February, with a net gain of over 200,000 jobs for the second month in a row. This pace of jobs growth should be more than enough to reduce the unemployment rate over time. However, the decline in the unemployment rate has slowed recently due to a pick-up in workforce participation – against the long term, mainly demographic driven, trend decline. Consistent with a tightening labour market, wages growth appears to be strengthening."
"At the same time, however, indicators of economic activity have softened. Consumption growth – which represents around 70% of GDP – actually went backwards in January. This was partly due to warmer than normal weather leading to reduced power consumption but even excluding this consumption fell. In February, temperatures remained above average, retail sales growth was soft (although January was revised up pointing to upwards revisions to the January consumption numbers) and there was no rebound in auto sales - so there is little sign of an upturn in February."
"Trade data for the start of 2017 also point to another negative contribution from net exports in the March quarter. Government demand also looks subdued."
"However, weakness at the start of the year in activity measures – as reflected in GDP – has not been unusual. Average growth in the March quarter has been well below that of other quarters in recent years."
"Nor are all components of GDP look weak. Business investment indicators have improved, with equipment orders picking up and manufacturing capex intentions at their highest levels since the GFC. Early indicators also suggest that residential investment will record another solid quarter of growth. On the trade front, business survey measures suggest that the underlying trend is stronger for exports, and weaker for imports, than the volatile monthly trade data are showing."
"As a result of the weakness in March quarter GDP indicators, we have lowered our expectation of growth in the quarter to 1.3% (annualised). However, as we expect this is essentially temporary, with some rebound likely in subsequent quarters, we have not lowered our expectation of growth for 2017 as a whole, which we still expect to be 2.1% and likely to move higher to 2.3% in 2018."
"The forecast of higher growth in 2018 is driven by our expectation that there will be fiscal stimulus kicking in towards the end of 2017 and into 2018."

Really informative post for visiting Lagos. Fab photos too! #feetdotravel
Thank you, Carole
So sunny and pretty even in winter! Thanks for sharing! :)
Yes, is a very good destination to travel in winter! Off season and stuning weather!
What a beautiful destination I never knew existed!
thank you!
What a nice place to relax and not to be bothered by others. Love the landscape could really do some good hiking there.
But, what if we told you that that's not the accurate definition of feedback? That in fact, feedback is a 360 conversation that draws attention to both successes and areas for improvement.Feedback is the cheapest, most powerful, yet, most under used management tool we have at our disposal . For direct reports, feedback is a way to validate their role, while fostering development. For managers, feedback from direct reports can help improve their coaching, while also giving insight into the team's engagement levels.
What are the best ways to give and solicit feedback, you ask? Great question, we say!

Where should I have a 1-on-1 meeting?
There's flexibility here. Perhaps the manager and employee like to get offsite because the conversation becomes more candid. On the other hand, it could be that your direct report prefers privacy and would like to talk in a meeting room. Maybe a medley of different spaces works best, depending on the week.
Manager and direct reports should chat and set expectations from the beginning about where they want to meet. There is no one perfect place to conduct 1-on-1 meetings – it's about what makes both parties feel comfortable.
When should I have 1-on-1 meetings?
The timing of your 1-on-1 meetings is really up to you and your direct report, and what works best
for you both
. If, as the manager, you have a weekly management meeting that is renowned for running late, it probably doesn't make sense to book a 1-on-1 meeting right after. Some say that

, and these days are commonly used as vacation days for extending the weekend.
Meetings can be as succinct as a 15 minute check-in or as long as an hour. There isn't an ideal length. To ensure you hit the mark when it comes to the length of the meeting, make every minute valuable. If there is time leftover, you don't need to keep the meter running. Similarly, if you constantly go over time, formally extend its duration.
Why does a 1-on-1 meeting even matter?

This is alarming. When the workforce is disengaged, productivity decreases, turnover increases and customer satisfaction levels plummet. What's more is that people don't leave companies, they leave managers. So, if an employee is disengaged, and their manager is disengaged, one of two things will happen: either the employee will stay and work at less capacity, or they will quit.

And, finally it moves on to shed all shackles of being to merge into an absolute nothingness...leaves only a few shines to reassure that it was there..somewhere...for some moments..in its pursuit of exploring whether it was all real or just some dreams...
Excellent piece !

What's in store for chocolate lovers this Easter?
Posted on April 3 2012 by Chocolatier.co.uk
If Andy Williams was crooning a song about Easter, he would surely describe it as the most chocolatey time of the year. So with Easter almost upon us, Chocolatier.co.uk decided to check out what some of the top chocolatiers have got planned.
Award winning chocolatier William Curley has put together a range of fantastic eggs made using Amedei chocolate with a selection of surprises inside to tempt any tastebud. In his fruit and nut range, eggs contain a choice of Caramelised Piedmont Hazelnuts, Roasted Gianduja Almonds or Orangettes.
The Couture collection the chocolate eggs contain a choice of dark truffles, milk truffles, sea salt caramels, framboise truffles, Moutard Champagne truffles or confit ginger.
Visit William Curley's website
Paul A Young, who last year opened his third London store, has come up with a sea salted caramel filled egg. The hen-sized egg is made from 64% Madagascan chocolate and decorated with splashes of red, white and blue. This Rule Britannia themed will be found across Young's easter egg range in a nod to both the Queen's Diamond Jubilee and the London 2012 Olympics.
Fortnum & Mason also echos the celebrations taking place this year with its Jubilee Silk Egg Box. For those who aren't planning an austerity Easter, this luxury gift box is "crowned with a garland of flowers and a regal hat pin" and "lined with Fortnum & Mason tissue paper." The box contains a selection of Fortnum's handmade chocolates and truffles.
The Queen's Grocer, who teamed up with Vivienne Westwood to design its egg sleeves also has a Fortnum's Silk Egg Box which is decorated in covered in eau de nil silk.
Visit Fortnum & Mason's website
Not wanting to be left out of the race to come up with the most patriotic eggs this Easter, Thorntons have their Great British Puds collection. Classic British desserts have become the inspiration for three, bright, colourful eggs: Eton Mess, Banoffee Pie and Lemon Meringue Pie.
For something a little more bespoke, Thorntons have the Perfect Egg – a half egg chocolate shell which you can pick any 12 truffles to be put inside, in store, before being expertly wrapped.
And here's a chocolatier.co.uk suggestion: A large bag of eggs placed from the Chocolate Trading Company, placed strategically around the garden, should keep the kids busy hunting while you tuck into these very grown up adult Easter treats.
There's some ideas from us but what Easter eggs have caught your eye this year?

Does anyone really like Valentine's Day? The restaurants are packed, the flowers are wildly marked up, the babysitters are all taken, and who needs that much chocolate so soon after the December holidays?
Actually, I take that back ... we can always use more chocolate.
Still, Valentine's Day is just a made-up holiday. Not like my favorite day of the year, Halloween, which has a rich history, no relationship pressures and all the chocolate you could hope for.
Prefer terror over true love? Austin's House of Torment is kicking cupid to the curb and unleashing the children of the night for "Love Bites: A Valentine's Day Haunted House."

This one-weekend-only fright fest has a vampire theme, and it's not those cute sparkly vamps from "Twilight."
Here's what the website has to say about the storyline:
"Lord Tenebris has slept for centuries waiting, anticipating, a world easy to take over. His brides have searched during his slumber waiting for the world to be ready. That time is now. His minions are hatching, his brood is returning, his legacy is on the horizon. Do you have what it takes to vanquish Lord Tenebris? Are you brave enough to enter the decaying manor and banish these creatures of the night from this world?"
Think your heart is strong enough to vanquish these vamps? Head out to House of Torment on Feb. 9-10.
Or, you can stay at home and watch the original "Love Bites":

And, to the surprise of no one, here I am blogging about the goddamn Kardashians again. Smdh. As I'm sure you all know, I (and presumably the rest of the world) have always assumed that Our Lady of Perpetual Pettiness a.k.a. Blac Chyna only reproduced with Rob Kardashian to get back at the Kardashian/Jenner clan for ditching her and taking her baby daddy, Hollywood Hobo Tyga.
Her whole relationship with Rob was an elaborate scheme to a) get back at the Kardashians and fuck Tyga and Kylie's relationship up, and b) get that Kardashian money $$$. Well, after a year and a half of hustling, it seems like Chyna's plans have finally paid off.
As I've reported, Kylie 2.0 and Tyga have been broken up for a couple of months now and she's moved on to actual rapper Travis Scott. At first, I was worried that this might be a rebound romance and Kylie would stupidly go back to Tyga, because he gets really good at winning her over when his child support is due. However, that seems less and less likely as Tyga and Kylie have UNFOLLOWED each other on Instagram, one of the biggest modern signs of a serious break-up.
However, Kylie and Tyga being 100% done isn't the only juicy tidbit Instagram is revealing to us. Tyga not only follows Blac Chyna, but has recently been liking her pics, and I'm not referring to pics of their son, King, but rather sexy selfies!
It seems like Chyna's big plan to get knocked up by Rob, get that money, and snatch back her awful, poor man might have finally paid off. I mean, I don't know how great the plan ever was; she did have to fuck Rob Kardashian, give birth to a spite baby, and her overall reward is Tyga, but good for her for accomplishing her goals, I guess?
I mean, sure Kylie still has millions and millions of dollars, and a successful, far more attractive boyfriend, but Chyna is back to getting those Tyga likes on the 'gram and those monthly child support cheques from Kris Jenner so I guess this round goes to Chyna? Actually, both those bitches had to see Tyga naked this round goes to no one.

the rise of
the South the Creative Class
As you might remember, Richard Florida was in Richmond last week, speaking on the ideas contained in Rise of the Creative Class. Richmond Op/Ed journalist Jim Bacon wrote an analysis of Florida's remarks, as well as how it specifically applies to River City. You can read his full article here: Florida Hurricane: Richard Florida, the boldest thinker in economic development today, blew through Richmond last week. The Holy City may never be the same.
Another article of interest is here: Rethinking Richmond: Greg Wingfield wants to shift Richmond's economic development focus from corporate investment to human capital. The strategy will require a drastic shift in regional priorities.
By the way ... did you know that Op/Ed stands for "Opposite Editorial"? I always thought it was shorthand for "Opinions and Editorials." Thanks to NPR's Morning Edition (and Google) for clearing that up.
One of my favorite topics to talk about is passion. That's why, if you receive Playshares (Play's bimonthly newsletter on creativity ... e-mail me for more info), you've seen a number of pieces about passion. In this article at DenverPost.com, we see one of my favorite principles at work: "Passion is what happens when you forget to pee." This article is about Quizno's sub shops, and how "Chef Jimmy" Lambatos is a foodie of the highest order — with the passion to prove it.
An addendum to my principle: Passion is what happens when you forget to put on your pants.
This article (and the one below) were found through LucJam, by the way. Quite the resource.
TV ads 'a waste of money'
UK's Guardian printed an article that noted that statistics showing how popular television programs are can't be used to show how attentive audiences will be for ads. The study showed that advertisers would have more success advertising on niche programs, where more individuals would be watching.
I find that's generally true. In fact, we usually mute the commercials in order to better talk to one another.
Here's the article.
brand new world
I was looking at the SXSW Website Competition Finalists and stumbled across Gain2.0. It had two interesting articles, one is an interview with Ivy Ross, a friend of Play's and a SVP at Mattel, who developed Project Platypus, a fascinating evolution of the Skunkworks-style R&D/innovation labs that the Boeing and Lockheed Martin (I think) started in the '50s and '60s. It's a three-month long experiment, where the 12 teammates involved develop radical new ideas. Here's the interview: Project Platypus:Reinventing Product Development at Mattel. The second article that caught my eye was an interview with Andrew Zolli, the principal at Z+ Partners (the chaps Heath linked to last month). Here's an excerpt:
It looks like a really good interview, and Zolli seems to have tapped in to the questions and tensions and paradoxes and hypocrisy of modern American culture. Both of those interviews are from last September, but they're great.
big ideas for 2003
FORTUNE magazine (and FSB) has (have) released a new "ideas" issue, and it looks to be a really good one. (It also looks to be inspired after Malcolm Gladwell, seeing how it has articles on diaper innovations [like Gladwell] and on Philo T. Farnsworth [like Gladwell]. But that's neither here nor there.) It also has articles on the business model of The Pampered Chef ("[They're] selling dreams."), Pixar ("How do you institute a culture of innovation? You have to stay ahead of the curve."), Upromise ("Can a business that thinks like a nonprofit succeed in the for-profit world?"), counterterrorism through technology, a review of books on innovation, 14 hot startups, energywaters, and an essay on "The State of the Big Idea."
thanks for holding ... this is Charlie
Folks. It's been a while since we've talked. Really, it's not you. It's me.
January was an intense month, with tons of client work, culminating in xchange, a summit of high-level leaders and innovators, discussing our favorite topic: innovation in business practice. While I was off cavorting around, Sally Peck and Leah Swonguer, two exceptional college associates (that is, interns), posted some of our content backlogs. Things are a little slower now, and Sally and Leah have returned to school, so I'll be picking back up, and I'll be posting more. I'm coming out of my blog hibernation.
Sadly, the blogging world (especially the inmmediate neighborhood of Pure Content) has grown a little quieter. Dan Pink is taking a seemingly-permanent break from his blog, Just One Thing. John Hiler, of Microcontent News, hasn't posted anything since late December. And, as yuo know, Pure Content has been pretty quiet as of late.
That's going to change.
I can't promise a flood of information. I can't swear that there'll be torrents of content at the outset. But I'm going to get back into blogging mode, and I intend to build back up to my pre-Winter-doldrums levels. I invite you to come along for the ride. If you have something you want to post, please post it. There's a "how to" over on the right side of the screen, or you can e-mail me (firstname.lastname@example.com) for help.
Enough chatter. Let's do this.
