Chempix manufacture commemorative piece.
Chempix is proud to have contributed in some small way to the success of the recent Sun Newspaper Millie Awards, an event to honour and praise the excellence of our military heroes. Inspired by Prince Charles, the ceremony was attended by dignitaries, senior politicians and a vast number of celebrities all wishing to express their appreciation of the fine work undertaken by our Armed Forces.
Kerry OâConnor, an accomplished producer of commemorative pieces, undertook the design and manufacture of the awards, with a little help from Chempix, a division of Precision Micro, the Birmingham-based chemical etching experts.
The award pieces were designed in the form of a globe, representing a solid foundation, held and encompassed by three solid strands representing the Army, Navy and Air Force equally and incorporating their proud crests on the top surface, pointing down to what they protect.
Chempix worked closely with Kerry, offering practical advice on the available manufacturing methods, and suggesting ways of etching the design onto the globe and leaf detail onto the solid strands.
âWorking closely with Kerry, we jointly devised a manufacturing method for these pieces and all concerned agreed the outcome was spectacular.â said Nigel Cornbill, Internal Account Manager for Chempix
Once etched, the brass globes were selectively plated in silver and polished by Kerry to a very high-quality finish.
Formed in 1982, Chempix has, for many years, been a supplier to and a supporter of a number of the designer/producers from Birminghamâs Jewellery Quarter where Kerry has her studio.

Who Killed Scott Macklem?
Post #2: Reputations
- Details
- Published: 08 March 2017
- Written by Barbara Kennedy
Author's Note: Every wrongful conviction causes dual torment: the torment of the innocent yet imprisoned individual, and the social torment that the actual perpetrator remains free. This blog focuses primarily on the latter, in the hope that we will gain more knowledge about the murderer of Scott Macklem.
Post #2: Reputations
Date: 02/22/17
You may wonder how the investigation of the murder of Scott Macklem resulted in a wrongful conviction. Scott was 20 years old when he was found shot to death in a parking lot at St. Clair County Community College on November 5, 1986. Scott grew up in Croswell, Michigan. His father was elected Mayor of Croswell in 1982, while Scott was attending Croswell-Lexington High School. Scott's father also owned an insurance agency in Croswell. He was an influential member of the community.
Although Scott was a good student and excellent athlete in high school, there is evidence that things changed after he graduated. He was slipping as a student at St. Clair County Community College, and didn't have the ambition one would expect from the son of such a successful and prominent father. There is broad speculation that Scott had become involved in using cocaine, and that he may have even been involved in dealing cocaine. If this is true, and they were aware of (or even suspected) this, it was undoubtedly embarrassing to his family, and to his pregnant fiancée.
Mysteriously, no one involved in the investigation of Scott's murder focused on any information about Scott's lifestyle and associations in 1986 and 1987.
Rather than focusing on Scott, the police pursued a different angle, and one that led them to a person of "bad character." This person could be the fall guy for the widely publicized murder of an influential person's son. Is it possible that the investigation intentionally sought to avoid making public any information that would damage Scott's reputation, or that of his family?
In addition to avoiding the potential embarrassment of revealing Scott's possible involvement with drugs, the conviction, albeit wrongful, also undoubtedly brought emotional closure to his family and friends. This may have been understandable, but it certainly wasn't justifiable. Thirty years later it's trumped a hundred-fold by the fact that an innocent man has been incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit. It's trumped a thousand-fold by the fact that Scott's murderer is still at large.
There is no intent on my part to disrespect the memory of Scott Macklem, or to disrespect Scott's family. What I respect is the truth. And there has been a paucity of truth from those who were closest to Scott and closest to the investigation of his murder. In the effort to search for truth, Scott's family, his friends, and those involved in the original investigation have refused to acknowledge the mountain of evidence which points away from the convicted individual. In fact, they won't talk about the case at all. They feel safe in their comfort zone of protected reputation and emotional closure, built upon fear and denial.
Reputations be damned. It's long past the time to worry about whether someone is embarrassed. It's time for everyone to respect the truth, and solve this crime. I'm reaching out to anyone - and everyone – who knows that truth. I'm reaching out to Scott's friends, his family, his fiancée's friends and family, anyone who knew Scott in high school and thereafter, anyone who knew Scott at St. Clair County Community College, or at the men's clothing store where he worked in 1985 and 1986. I'm reaching out to anyone who knew Scott's fiancée Crystal when she worked at the video store or at the State Farm Insurance agency in Croswell. Anyone - everyone – even if you have never spoken about this case before, it's time to come forward. It's time to come clean.
I especially appeal to those who have spoken about this case before, from a place of fear or manipulation. Please show respect for the truth. Consider this: the jailhouse snitch, who claimed that the accused confessed to him during a brief encounter, came clean years later and admitted on video* that he made the story up to get leniency on his prison sentence. A convicted felon had the good conscience to speak the truth. He couldn't live with his deceit any longer. Can you?
Thank you, let's find Scott's killer!

Just because I won the U.S. Open doesn't mean I'm going to change the way I live.
I didn't become a caddie because I wanted to be a caddie. I was a caddie because that was how I could make money and feed myself. It was work. It was a dignified job.
I tried talking to a psychologist once. Two minutes in, I said, 'Ciao!' Never again. There's no way, no way, I'd continue! I couldn't buy into a single thing the guy was saying.
I've only seen a handful of short clips of my U.S. Open win. I remember how I did it; I don't need to watch a video.
I had to work to eat. I couldn't even complete a basic elementary education.
I won the 2007 U.S. Open and 2009 Masters in my late 30s, largely because of my confident driving.
Golf gives and takes. So yeah, sometimes you make those putts, sometimes you just miss them. But that's golf.
I grab coins and tees in my travels, but I usually mark my ball with a coin from Argentina, either a peso or a 10-centavo piece.
I can read and write. I went to school for six years. I just couldn't continue.
With sacrifice and work, anything can be done.
You should welcome getting older in golf. With greater knowledge of your swing, you, too, can keep improving.
When I'm on the road traveling, the things I miss most are my two children and barbecuing with friends. Rack of ribs, lamb and veal are my specialties.
I was very lucky because hanging out at a golf course was much better than being on the streets. Golf taught me a great deal. I grew up surrounded by people who were professionals – lawyers, doctors, engineers. Around them, I learned how to behave, speak, eat, dress. I had nothing at home. The club was my home.
In golf, advice is not a big thing. If you don't have the ability, you won't get anywhere no matter how much advice you get. The only thing people can suggest that matters is, be a good person and treat people respectfully. But advice on your game doesn't mean much to me.
I try to show that I have no fear. When you grow up hungry, you're not afraid of anything.

At last, a country has stepped to the forefront and stated that it places great value on the lives of its countrymen. Singapore it was that announced tightened entrance restrictions and a tougher gum-control law.
I say it's about time.
Mandating gum control (as we know so well in this country) is a difficult subject.
It hits at the very heart of individual taste.
It hits almost every citizen right in their pockets (or in some cases) purses.
I personally was brought up knowing how to handle gum. I've always respected it and felt that if someone was taught the basics of handling a stick properly, then people could live safely with gums of all kinds.

Maine Built with Hinckley Quality at a Fraction of the Cost
Another major price reduction makes this a "real find"- Act Soon!
This well found, well built blue water cruising ketch is ready to take you anywhere in the world.
A classic sailing ketch like this won't be around long. Call today to see this timeless beauty!
Available to Florida licensed brokers on a 50/50 basis - others call for complete details.
The Ocean 42 was designed by an experienced blue water sailor. She is set up as a proper SAILING vessel and not set up like a condo. Her almost flawless white ash wood work brightens the interior and gives her a solid feel below. The quality of the wood work is what you would expect from a Hinckley built boat. The hardware is "yacht quality", not the pot metal junk most boats have these days.
As you come down the aft companionway ladder, immediately to your left is the Nav station with a great custom chart storage system. There is a narrow berth outboard on the port side. Immediately forward is the complete electrical panel and to Starboard is the good sized quarter berth with a nice bureau with 5 drawers forward of the berth.
On the port side is a large walkthrough head with a separate shower, nice teak grate floors, an excellent Wilcox Crittenden manual toilet, sink and vanity.
Moving forward to Starboard you will be in the galley. Inboard is the double sink in a nice cabinet with upper cabinets above. Outboard is the excellent Shipmate 3 burner stove with oven and the top loading freezer and front loading refrigeration. The refer space is super insulated and will stay cold a very long time without the system running.
Forward into the salon to port is an excellent storage system installed by the current owners. Formerly a berth, this area was rebuilt into storage with file drawers, computer cabinets, drawers, and storage bins. To Starboard is a nice settee as well as more storage outboard. The dining table is a beautiful white ash without a scratch on it.
The master stateroom/V-Berth is forward. It is a large space with abundant storage below the bunk. There is a nice sized closet to starboard and a nice bureau in the aft port corner.
Forward of the V-Berth is access to the anchor locker.
Passe-Partout has been owned by the same very experienced couple for the past 25 years. In that 25 years much of her time has been spent in the southern Caribbean.
This Hank Hinckley built Ocean 42 was built with care and craftsmanship in Maine, by the same people that build Hinckley Yachts. She is in fact derivative of the Hinckley Sou'wester and will sail with those boats any day. The boat is designed for people that actually sail with a proper aft cabin from which to work the boat while making passages. That being said she would make a great boat to just live on as well with her massive amount of storage and well thought out interior spaces.
If you are looking for a proper yacht to sail the world, then look hard at this one. You won't be disappointed.

If there is one thing I would recommend that agencies do to sell more Investor Testing, it would be to make it a small thing.
Many companies make a big deal out of testing. They hire an agency to run a $ 50K test for them. They have multiple meetings beforehand to negotiate the study, plan, and prepare it. They study eight or twelve people, put about four weeks aside for analysis and report writing, then have a big meeting during which results are presented and a big report is handed out. This is not the right approach.
Yes, there are situations when this is exactly what the organization needs. I understand and accept that but today, I feel that the smaller the study, the bigger its impact. Also if a test is not a big deal, stakeholders see it as something they can be involved in. They can be a part of it because they understand it.
Adding Investor Testing to the process both saves time and money. This is counterintuitive to most people, specifically for folks who have not gone through investor testing before. How can you possibly save time by adding a step and spending more money in the process?
The analogy I like to give is asking directions. Sometimes stopping to ask for directions takes a few extra minutes but saves a lot of time in the long run.
Conducting user experience research through Investor Testing clarifies the team's understanding of investors, their current experiences, their needs/ desires, and what improvements need to be made to the current message and presentation.
Without this information, you are simply in the dark. How can a marketing team possibly know how to craft compelling communication without this basic information? If they stumble on the right formula, it is sheer dumb luck.
Much more likely is that the design team comes up with something that isn't right, and it doesn't sit well with the rest of the team. There are countless meetings to come up with the right design, with a lot of guesswork and anecdotes being thrown around.
Had the design team only done the upfront research and testing, they would have reached the right design much sooner and with a lot less pain.
To some people, testing a product that is going to change doesn't make sense. However, once they see the benefits, they never go back.

This school has been successful in making global education relevant to its teachers, allowing Holt students to develop cultural literacy under the guidance of motivated and dedicated global educators.
Chapel Hill, NC (PRWEB) June 12, 2015
VIF International Education, a global education partner of K-12 schools and districts, recently announced that Holt Elementary Language Academy in Durham, N.C. has been named the 2015 VIF Global School Award winner. In addition to being honored as a top international school in the region, Holt was awarded funds for global education materials to benefit the school.
Holt Language Academy is a year-round elementary magnet school focused on global studies and foreign languages. Students have opportunities to study Mandarin or Spanish beginning in kindergarten in order to become conversationally fluent by the end of fifth grade. Teachers at Holt actively participate in professional development and classroom resource creation in the VIF learning center to support the incorporation of global content into everyday class instruction.
"Global makes learning and teaching real — it makes it fun," said Holt Principal Star Sampson. "It makes kids want to come to school and teachers want to come to work."
Students at Holt are supported in learning new perspectives by teachers representing many different countries including Colombia, England, Northern Ireland and Jamaica. As kindergarteners, students start their journey in North America, study South America in first grade, Asia in second, Africa in third, Oceania in fourth and Europe in fifth grade. Sampson said this global aspect really centralized the school.
"It gave us some direction," Sampson said. "Going global gave [the school] more rigor and meaning."
Holt hosts cultural nights, an international fair and a global field day, among other globally themed events, and Sampson said she is proud of what the teachers and students are doing at Holt to embrace different cultures.
"It's the spark in children's eyes when they want to learn that keeps me passionate about education," Sampson said. "As soon as you walk in the door, someone is grabbing your hand to tell you something they've learned!"
Teachers and administrators report that teaching core skills through a global lens has dramatically increased students' development of those skills as their engagement is focused on interesting and concrete topics rather than abstract skill development. The school community's energy for global learning is apparent with creative reflections of student learning proudly displayed in every classroom and hallway.
"Holt is a model for how school leaders can commit to global education while empowering teachers to weave global perspectives into their classrooms," said VIF CEO David Young. "This school has been successful in making global education relevant to its teachers, allowing Holt students to develop cultural literacy under the guidance of motivated and dedicated global educators."
Sampson said Holt's administrators and teachers challenge students to expand their world perspective.
"There are people in many different cultures," she said. "We get students to reach out and touch the world — that's what global education is all about."
Holt is one of hundreds of schools involved in VIF's expanding global education programs. In these programs, teachers utilize online professional development and curricular resources to bring global education to their classrooms and drive student achievement through cultural learning.
The VIF Global School Award recognizes schools that demonstrate outstanding commitments to inspire students, teachers and communities toward understanding the world's languages, its cultures and the diverse perspectives of all people. Specifically, the award acknowledges schools that promote curiosity through project-based inquiry and that integrate global themes throughout school environments and communities.
Any teacher can become a member of the VIF learning center (viflearn.com) for free and learn to effectively integrate global themes into core instruction by accessing online professional development, a robust library of ready-to-use lesson plans and a growing community of more than 13,000 educators around the world.
About VIF International Education
VIF International Education partners with districts and schools to prepare global-ready teachers and students. For more than 25 years, educators have used VIF's professional development and curriculum, language acquisition and cultural exchange teacher programs to create engaging learning environments where students excel in core curriculum as well as develop valuable critical and creative thinking skills. VIF is a certified B Corp and 'Best for the World' honoree headquartered in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Auburn trying to avoid hangover after 4 OT loss to Arkansas
Auburn lost in devastating fashion Saturday against Arkansas. After coming back from an early 14-0 deficit, the Tigers fell in four overtimes, 54-46. Auburn took the lead twice in overtime, but the Razorbacks responded on both occasions.
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn has already seen firsthand the sort of effect such a deflating loss can have, and he knows this year's squad needs to forget last Saturday fast.
"We got to put it behind us," Malzahn said on his radio show Monday night. "That's the type of loss that last year was similar feeling (sic) to that Texas A&M deal. We let that game affect the next one."
Last season, Auburn went into a home game against Texas A&M with a 7-1 record. The No. 3 Tigers were still contenders for the first ever College Football Playoff, but the unranked Aggies stunned the home crowd with a 41-38 victory.
Auburn trimmed a 14-point fourth quarter deficit to three in that game, but the Tigers fumbled twice in the final three minutes to end their comeback hopes. Auburn went on to lose four of its last five games, with the only win coming against Samford.
This current team is not in the same position as the 2014 edition, but Malzahn expects a different response after the most recent heartbreaking loss to Arkansas.
"Our guys, they'll definitely rebound," Malzahn said. "I really feel like our team has enough leadership, enough character to do that."

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
The first person to tell me they'd kill themselves if they ever became disabled was a bus driver, shortly after I'd had neurosurgery that had gone a bit wrong. I was trying to learn how to navigate the world on crutches and I hadn't even worked out the essentials yet (primarily how to carry a cup of tea). I certainly didn't have the energy to tell him why that was an appalling thing to say to somebody, or explain why it was the last thing I needed to hear at that moment.
He had imagined what being disabled must be like and automatically concluded that death would be preferable. This is not unusual.
Nobody's ever told me that they'd rather kill themselves than be gay, or a woman, despite there being hardships associated with those other aspects of my identity, and I'm sure most people would agree that those sentiments would be highly inappropriate. Yet, judging by the number of people who have said the same thing to me as the bus driver did, it seems to be an acceptable thought to have about disability. It's even thought to be acceptable to share that thought with the disabled stranger who happens to be sitting nearby.
It's hard not to take it personally when somebody implies that you'd be better off dead. And besides, it's rude.
So when people in government, people with power, start trying to enshrine the idea that disabled people are better off dead in law, something has really gone wrong in our society.
I didn't used to think this. I thought that I'd probably want to kill myself if I was in some kind of unbearable situation with regard to my health. I imagined what physical disability or chronic pain would be like and figured it would make life worth ending. But that was before I had truly seen how deeply embroiled disablism is in the messages that non-disabled people get about disability.
And it was before I had realized that when those things happen to you, you pretty much have to just get on with things.
In the U.K. at the moment, the outlook for disabled people is bleak. The Independent Living Fund, which supports some of the most severely disabled people to live independently, is closing; health and social care budgets are being slashed; and benefits are disappearing. Combined with a relentless campaign from the tabloid newspapers about disabled people being "work-shy scroungers," it's no surprise that disabled people are depressed.
Take the 60 people who have died after their benefits were cut, including Mark Wood who starved to death over four months after being declared "fit for work" and losing his entitlement. Oh, and the fact that the United Nations is undertaking a "high-level inquiry" into the U.K.'s "grave and systemic violations" of disabled people's rights. That's a pretty big deal.
In this context, as a community, we probably need better mental healthcare in place than ever before. Combined with a brand-new campaign to reduce suicide by one of the main political parties (with no corresponding boost in funding for mental health services, as far as I can tell), it sounds like suicide prevention is a political top priority in advance of this year's General Election.
Yet, in the other legislative chamber, the House of Lords, a bill is being debated that will make it legal to assist people to commit suicide. Surely that doesn't fit a "zero suicide" agenda?
But the law doesn't want to be able to kill just anybody. No. Just people who are judged to have less than six months to live (even though predicting how long someone will live is an incredibly inexact science and one that, in my experience, doctors do their best to shy away from). Most terminally ill people are, or become, disabled.
This huge contradiction says a lot about the value we place on disabled people's lives. "We must stop people committing suicide! Oh wait, they're disabled and want to commit suicide? Sure, hand them the pills."
While the notion of escaping "unbearable pain" is oft-quoted to justify assisted suicide legislation, the places around the world that have already legalized assisted suicide show stats that differ from what we might at first expect. In fact, we see that pain is only cited in 5 percent of cases in the Netherlands; this is not a frequent reason for wanting to die.
Loss of dignity is another reason people seek assisted suicide. Loss of dignity is dehumanizing and horrible, but the answer is to work to ensure that everybody is enabled to have dignity. It's not acceptable to simply agree to kill those who don't.
Feeling like a burden is another. But a society that diminishes our lives to the point where strangers tell us we'd be better off dead (because, yes, some are that direct) is one where we are bound to feel like a burden! A world where our financial support and care are being cut to such a degree that people are losing hope entirely is not one where we can feel dignified.
In this atmosphere, it is simply not safe to introduce assisted suicide laws and expect that the continued bashing of disabled people will not play into a desire to die.
And to approach a non-disabled suicidal person with support and encouragement, but a disabled suicidal person with the means to go ahead and kill themselves, demonstrates a degree of disabilism that should be unbearable for anybody with even a passing interest in social justice and equal rights.
In a truly equal society, where dignity, care, and pain relief were guaranteed, then maybe it would be safe to introduce a law to assist those who want to die to do so. In this mess of a world we live in, no amount of safeguards could truly protect the most vulnerable, suicidal people if the law allowed them to bypass a referral to mental health services and, instead, gave them the means to fulfill the darkest desires of their suicidal depression.

From the Times of Israel:
Abdel Fattah al-Sharif, a Palestinian assailant who was shot and killed by Israeli soldier Elor Azaria in March as he lay disarmed on the ground, was buried on Saturday in Hebron. Israel had returned al-Sharif's body to his family on Friday.
A crowd estimated at 1,000 attended the funeral of al-Sharif's, whose body was wrapped in a Hamas flag, as seen in a video broadcast by Hamas channel Al-Quds TV. Cries of "Allahu akbar" (God is great) as well as other slogans could be heard from the crowds.
Israel has expressed concern that the burials of slain attackers are being used to incite against the Jewish state. As interim defense minister, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu authorized the return of the body for burial.
On Saturday, Sharif's father Yusri, 43, demanded that "a fair sentence" be handed down against Azaria. "The Israelis must judge their own just as they judge the Palestinians," he told AFP. "Imagine if it was the other way around, that a Palestinian had killed someone. They would sentence him to life," he added.

Since the launch of the Edinburgh MBA, more than 3,600 managers have graduated with the prestigious qualification. When asked why they chose Edinburgh, the reasons are very clear and often very similar: the vibrant capital city, the international reputation of the University, the diversity of the student community, the distinctive programme content and the quality of faculty.

Into the deep Blue Lagoon – Business Trek to Iceland and the last leg of my MBA4th July 2018

What our students think
Tuta Wamanga
What attracted you to the Business School?
I liked the fact that the MBA class is quite mature and diverse and I felt I would be able to learn a lot from my classmates. The MBA has offered me the chance to get further international exposure through the exchange programme option, which fits perfectly with my career goals.
What has the Edinburgh MBA allowed you to achieve?
Personal development is a key aspect of the MBA. In addition to the theoretical concepts that I have been exposed to on the range of subjects that I am taking, I have been able to enhance my soft skills. I have also had numerous opportunities to network within and outside the School.
What do you think of Edinburgh as a city?
Edinburgh is a beautiful city and it is a joy to visit. It is highly cosmopolitan and the people are friendly – they are always willing to give a helping hand when you cannot find where you are going!
How did you find the application process?
The application process was straightforward. The staff that I interacted with during the process were friendly and encouraging, queries were answered promptly and this enhanced the positive feeling I had about the School.
Ritesh Kotak
What has the Edinburgh MBA allowed you to achieve?
I have had an opportunity to step out of my comfort zone through projects, presentations and professional development workshops. The continuous networking has allowed me to build a global network across sectors.
What has been your personal highlight?
My personal highlight was the team building simulation in Dunkeld. The entire MBA cohort travelled north to participate in different simulations, which pushed us to our limits. The process highlighted our strengths and the areas for improvement that we should focus on throughout the MBA.
What are your fellow MBAs like?
They are friendly and willing to share. This is a time to learn and grow and the honesty and openness of the people I have met from across sectors has provided me invaluable insights into different industries. After only a few months on the MBA I had already built meaningful friendships. The diversity of the cohort creates an inclusive culture – 45 unique individuals from 6 continents representing 25 countries. You cannot help but feel inspired!
The different teams at the Business School really want you to succeed and are passionate about what they do. The staff are accessible, former students are willing to help and you are assigned a personal tutor. Whether it is answering a query in an email or grabbing a cup of coffee together, they want to make time for you and support you on your journey. The professors provide invaluable feedback on a regular basis, which allows you to grow as a student and as a future leader.
What are your plans after graduation?
I plan to explore how emerging technology such as Blockchain will impact our institutions. Everything will be affected, from banking to policing. I would like to assist organisations to avoid the pitfalls but more importantly to leverage these technologies to create new opportunities.
What our Alumni think
Traci Tufte
MBA Distinction 2013
- MBA Exchange
- Shanghai International MBA, Tongji University
- Undergraduate
- BSc Business Management, University of Wisconsin-River Falls
- Professional Background
- Retail
- Post UEBS position
- Marketing & Business Development Manager, Speech Graphics
Despite a successful career in retail, Traci was not pursuing the international career she sought. Her post-MBA role now takes her around the world visiting new clients and promoting a new technology product in a global market. So how did she make the jump?
I always knew I wanted to work internationally; it's what I felt I was missing in my career and that was my main goal for the MBA. Something so unique and incredible about the MBA programme is the international cohort. Students come from all over the world and I was very lucky to form close relationships with many of them. Now I have connections spanning every single continent and many different countries.
Traci always suspected she would return to retail after the MBA, but her post-MBA role in a small technology start-up, Speech Graphics, couldn't be more different.
The MBA Development Team at the School connected me to Speech Graphics and I completed an internship there: I knew then I wanted to stay on in the UK to develop the role. The start-up community in Edinburgh is thriving, particularly the technology sector. There are regular meet-ups and professional networking opportunities; it's great to be part of that growth.
Traci comments that her new network has been invaluable during the transition from a corporate setting to her role in a start-up in an entirely new industry.
I know there are people who I can call on with specialist expertise if I need input into a project I'm working on. That wouldn't have been possible without the MBA.
The MBA really helped me to take my knowledge and skills into a completely new context. The Strategy courses have been critical to my career, but surprisingly Decision Analytics is probably the new skill that I most value. The start-up environment is fast-paced — you're regularly working out with your remit and decisions often have to be made very quickly.

While the New England Patriots reportedly became the first NFL team to own their own airplanes to fly to games, at least one other professional sports franchise wasn't all that impressed.
News of the Patriots' planes broke Tuesday, and the Cleveland Indians tweeted out the perfect response to the news.
Well done.
This picture, of course, is a nod to the hit baseball comedy movie, "Major League." In the film, the Indians, who are one of the worst teams in baseball, have to fly on the broken-down airplane so their owner can save money.
The Patriots, for what it's worth, won't have to worry about duck-taped propellors or electricity issues on their brand new "airKrafts."

Yesterday was definitely an experiment in handling three kids at a park without Eric along. I learned something that I had already assumed: it's not possible for me to do it alone. It just isn't safe with my sneaky runaways. So it's a very good thing that we were meeting our friend Ashley there, and boy was she a lifesaver! Thank you, Ashley! She is one of the very few people that Reagan will go to without fuss and be happy as a clam. He's still very attached to his mama, but Ashley has that special touch, I guess. :)
We also saw a few other friends and their cuties, too. The park was just swimming with kiddos, and I loved it. My only problem is that I never get to say much more than "Hi!" and "Bye!" because I'm chasing my kid across a playground, haha.
I didn't snap any pictures yesterday, but last night while looking for a picture for a photo contest, I found these. I didn't even know they existed! Love when that happens...like discovering a little time capsul. This is Gracie in October 2011. Aw...so young. So innocent. :)
In other news, HAPPY MAY!
We're excited for a new month! The month where our local schools wrap things up for the year and summer vacation starts. For our family that means getting our grandmas back any time we want. :) So in some ways, it feels like our summer vacation, too!
The weather is beautiful again today, and then there is rain predicted every day until at least next Tuesday - boo! So we're going to enjoy it while we can. I'll be more excited to blog when we're stuck inside again, haha. Hope you guys have a great day. :)

The company was originally established in 1910 as part of Nippon Chikuonki Shokai (Japan Recorders Corporation), a manufacturer of single-sided disc records and gramophones. The company was originally called 日本電氣音響株式會社 – Nippon 'DENki ONkyo Kabushikigaisha' which was shortened to the name of DEN-ON in Japanese. The company is actively involved with sound systems electric appliance production and later the company has been merged with other related companies as a result of this the company name became Denon.
There followed a number of mergers and tie-ins over the next few decades as firstly the company merged with Japan-US Recorders Manufacturing in 1912 and then in 1928 the brand "Columbia" was introduced when the company became Japan Columbia Recorders. A further change of name occurred in 1946 when the company renamed itself Nippon Columbia.
The Denon brand was first established in 1947 when Nippon Columbia merged with Japan Denki Onkyo. D&M Holdings Inc. was created in May 2002 when Denon Ltd and Marantz Japan Inc. merged.
Today, the company specializes in professional and consumer home cinema and audio equipment including A/V receivers, Blu-ray players, tuners, headphones, and wireless music systems. Denon is also known for high-end AV receivers and moving coil phonograph cartridges. Two M-series models, the Denon M31 and M30, were the most successful radio hi-fi's in the mid-2000s. Since being released to the micro hi-fi DAB market, they have received several awards in Europe.

Our thoughts have turned to Spring and our fountains are beginning to reflect this. This cat drinking fountain is Caribbean with the tulip in cream and yellow. The bowl was wheel-thrown and shaped into this graceful form. Your pets can drink from the upper basin and the bowl. Makes a beautiful home decor fountain as well.
* 3.75 inches high and 11.25 inches in diameter at the widest.
* 7 cup capacity
Can be adapted for overseas use. Click here to select an overseas pump.
Everything is included. Simply fill with water and plug in. SEE THIS PAGE FOR DETAILS.
Each cat drinking fountain is handmade of the highest quality stoneware, one at a time and each is one of a kind. We make our own glazes from raw, pure minerals so we know exactly and how much of what is in them and can insure that they are food safe. Food safe is not simply a matter of containing no lead. If too much of any colorant is used or if any of the several toxic colorants are used the piece will not be food safe. We restrict the percentage of only non-toxic colorants to standards established by scientist potters from data derived from their extensive testing for food safeness. If a ceramicist doesn't know what is in his glazes he has no way of knowing if they are food safe. We guarantee our cat drinking fountains to be completely food-safe. In addition they are extremely easy to clean, as many of the reviews testify to.
At Thirstycats we do not simply make cat drinking fountains – we attempt to make functional art. Simply making a functional cat drinking fountain would for us not be worth the effort and making a beautiful cat drinking fountain that does not work very well wouldn't be either. We strive to be the gold standard of cat fountains and stand behind our products more than 100%.

The Times of Israel reports: Israelis in central Israel reacted with bewilderment and some concern Monday to the sight of an orange-yellow ball of fire streaking slowly but surely across the early evening skies.
The flaming apparition was visible for several minutes from Tel Aviv to the Dead Sea.
"It looked like a ball of fire followed by trail of flames," Eliran of Herzliya told Channel 2 News.
Haim from Netanya said: "It could be a crashing plane, a meteor, I have no idea."
A woman identified as Dana told Ynet she thought she was seeing "a missile or a shooting star…it was very strange."
The mysterious object was finally revealed to have been an American cargo plane flying at high altitude — and there was probably nothing wrong with it.

It has been a crazy busy week. Last Thursday, I realised the draft I was writing wasn't going anywhere. I was at 70,000 words with still no ending in sight. After a chat with some writer buddies and a reevaluation, I realised where I had gone wrong. I was trying to make the scope of Bloodlore too big! I have three books to fill, a full plot arc to follow, and too much of it was happening in the first book. Once that was figured out, I tore 20k from Bloodlore and threw it into Blightlore.
Why am I sharing this part of the process with you? Because for me it was a good lesson never to get discouraged when something isn't working. It emphasised my most important writing philosophy: write first, edit later, because you can't fix what's not there. I don't know if I could have worked on a better outline from the start of this project, but the mid-way point assessment has now allowed me to outline the entire trilogy, and I'm excited to keep going into the next books.
While moving that 20k gave me a headstart on book 2, it left me behind schedule for book 1. And then the dayjob shifted my schedule, taking away more drafting and revision days. What's an author to do to stay on deadline? One option is to allow an extension of said deadline. Another option, perhaps the crazier of the two but by far the more fun and personally challenging, was to compress the drafting into the time I had left. Between Saturday and Tuesday, I wrote 37k and wrapped up a (very very very) rough draft of Bloodlore! I love the book. It's fun, it's gritty, and quite a few scenes made my skin crawl so much that revision should be interesting.
I also started talks with the cover artist for The Cadis Trilogy, Jeff Brown, and from what I've already seen, the end result is going to be AH-MAY-ZING!
As much as Bloodlore is coming along very well and I'm not able to give an idea of release date yet, I am hoping it will be in the first half of 2015. *dances*
In the mean time, if you need something new to read, here's a new offer: Before The Meratis Trilogy was released, I was honoured to be included in Devin O'Branagan's anthology Witch Hunt: of the Blood. This anthology is FREE – JUST FOR TODAY! My novella, as well as 4 others from some amazing authors.
You've closed the cover on Witch Hunt, but the story isn't over … yet! Devin O'Branagan has handpicked writers to take up her characters' stories and explore what happens next.
The anthology begins with O'Branagan's own novella about Hawthorne matriarch, Vivian. Vivian and her fellow British witches work together to prevent a Nazi invasion during World War II. Then there is Colonial maiden, Bridget, who struggles with the guilt of failing her family in Salem, 1692. Her younger sister, Prissy, mysteriously disappears and finds another magical world. Julia, torn by family loyalties, love, and her spiritual quest, pays a huge price to continue the bloodline. And Miranda uses her powers against the great influenza outbreak of 1918—but finds the ultimate foe is prejudice against her kind.
Discover what was left out of Witch Hunt and revisit your favorite characters with these exciting novellas. The story isn't done until the battle's lost and won.

The Atascadero City Council on Tuesday unanimously approved fare increases and route changes to the city's transit system.
The changes were prompted by Paso Robles' action earlier this year to discontinue the North County Shuttle. Atascadero city staff expect the loss of the shuttle deal to decrease its ridership numbers, resulting in a $25,000 loss of fare revenue this year and jeopardizing its federal funding.
The increases approved Tuesday include raising Atascadero's fixed route fares to $1.50 from $1.25 per ride for regular fares; and to75 cents per ride from 60 cents for seniors and the disabled. Cuesta College students can still ride for free.
Dial-A-Ride fares for seniors and the disabled will go to $2.50 from $1.50 per ride for those living in the city's core and to $5 from $3 per ride for those in the outskirts. Regular Dial-A-Ride fares will go to $5 from $2.50 per ride for those living in the city's core and to $8 from $5 per ride for those in the outskirts.
All fare increases go into effect July 1.
The route changes are to the weekday fixed route service, also effective July 1; and a newly expanded Saturday fixed route service effective May 28.
The new route will go from Paloma Park to Twin Cities Community Hospital in Templeton in a one-hour loop, instead of ending at Cuesta College off Highway 46 East in Paso Robles.
Those wishing to continue to Cuesta can transfer to the Regional Transit Authority's Route 9 bus at the hospital's Park-n-Ride. Cuesta students can still ride for free, without a transfer fee on the RTA bus.
Atascadero's new Saturday route will have stops at the Colony Park Community Center, Atascadero Lake Park, Veterans Memorial and Charles Paddock Zoo on extended hours. The new stops will take the place of a Saturday stop in Templeton that city staff say was under-used.

Jason O'Mara's first priority with "One for the Money" was "not sounding Irish."
The Dublin native plays Joe Morelli, the hunky New Jersey resident giving Katherine Heigl's character fits in the film based on the popular books by Janet Evanovich.
"I wanted to get it right, and I also wanted get the area right," O'Mara tells Big Hollywood. "It's not the standard 'Sopranos' New Jersey/Italian accent … it's closer to the Philadelphia accent. It's urban, but not quite what you'd expect."
Audiences can decide for themselves when "One for the Money" hits home video this week via Blu-ray Disc, DVD, Digital Download and On Demand, although O'Mara's natural Irish accent isn't as strong as one might expect given his surname and upbringing.
O'Mara's character, Joe, is a cop on the lam, and Heigl's newly christened bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum, is hot on his trail. The adjective "hot" carries more than one meaning.
"The Morelli/Plum back story is epic … they 've known each other since they were infants practically," he says, and their contentious one-night stand continues to reverberate throughout the movie. "It's a strange kind of relationship. They almost know too much about each other."
Bringing literary characters to life had its perks, O'Mara says.
"The film's sense of humor was very specific … not like your average romantic comedy," he says, a tone dictated by Evanovich's books. "It's very specific to that place and those characters."
But he feared having the books to fall back on would curtail on-set spontaneity. The answer ended up being yes … and no. The cast shot close to the script, but the crew allowed for a fresh take where the actors could improvise as needed.
"A lot of what got into the movie is what we made up on the set. That doesn't always happen," says O'Mara, known to television audiences for his work on "Life on Mars" and the recently cancelled "Terra Nova."
O'Mara recently staked a place on the web to call his own, and he politely asked Big Hollywood to include his Twitter handle in this post. His site features the standard promotional information plus interviews he did with his fellow cast members on the set of "Terra Nova" (he enjoys DVD and Blu-ray extras and gets how it brings the experience alive for fans). He's also eager to see his new pilot co-starring Dennis Quaid get picked up (It has).
And he's envious of the producer credit Heigl shared on "One for the Money." He doesn't see himself behind the director's chair anytime soon, but he wouldn't mind having a say in a project from start to finish. He studied theater at Dublin College where he was expected to not only grace the stage but help with lighting, directing, production design and wardrobe chores.
"I've never thought of myself as just an actor," he says. "I hoped I'd get the opportunity to do it all."

A Very Old Man with Enormous WingsTheatrePosted by Pete Nov 28, 2011 16:34
The one where Kneehigh team up with Little Angel?
The Little Angel Theatre are celebrating their 50th year, and teaming up with Mike Shepherd and Kneehigh Theatre company for their production of A very old man with Enormous Wings, they have everything to celebrate for, and deserve to shout and pop a few champagne corks throughout this wonderful production.
As I mention puppets, many of you will instantly sneer, or even hover over the X in the top right hand corner. DON'T! Stick with me, I want to change your preconceptions, for this is no way a take on a shabby Punch and Judy, and I would easily place a wager that in seeing this production you would definitely reconsider your thoughts, maybe even book to see it again.
How can I be so confident? Because to put it simply, Little Angel and Kneehigh have create a piece of theatre that is visually stunning and all together rather beautiful. It's enchanting and I found myself completely focussed on the little stage as they evoked every sense of my imagination. Doesn't sound like your average puppet show huh?
We arrive in a little seaside village that has been overrun by lots of crabs. The first scene sees the villagers battle to remove them from every nook and cranny. A local boy has also been extremely feverish for some weeks and there is concern that he may not pull through.
Until, during a storm, an old man with "enormous wings" comes crashing down on the shore, his fluttering fills the theatre as he battles to continue his flight. As the storm passes the villagers quickly venture out to see what this angel?, chicken?, mythical creature is. What's more is that they realise that their crustaceans problem has been eradicated and the little boy is suddenly fit and healthy. How did this happen?
A couple quickly capture the man and cash in on his healing powers, but by act two we realise that the whole village has managed to spin this good fortune, as the tour buses arrive in their droves and American tourists are ready to splash the cash for a quick photo. The lovable nosy neighbour who guides us through this tale even opens up a tea room.
The team of highly skilled puppeteers, Sarah Wright, Roger Lack, Ruth Calkin and Rachel Leonard work their way through some 100 puppets in this production, singing and characterising a whole community of puppets, and they do so with ease. For those who think puppetry is easy, you'd be wrong as it is very skilled art to get the audience to focus on the puppet rather than the manipulator, and to believe that the puppet in hand is actually thinking, breathing and believeable. As you would expect with 50 years experience, this really isn't an issue for this talented team.
The piece, set on an inventive design by Little Angel founder Lyndie Wright, really submerges the audience in this tiny world, and I couldn't help but think half way through how truly special this experience was. After seeing shows night after night, it takes a performance such as this to really wake you up and witness some true creativity, I left the theatre with an experience not just 90 minutes of entertainment, and that is something really special.
Happy Birthday Little Angel Theatre, and here's to the next!

Any book on cryptography written for a more-or-less lay audience must inevitably face comparisons to The Code Book, written in 1999 by Simon Singh, the king of distilling complex subjects to a few hundred pages of understandable writing. While Singh's book is a pretty thorough history of codes and codebreaking through the centuries with plenty of the maths thrown in, The Mathematics of Secrets is tilted (and indeed titled) more towards a fuller explanation of the mathematical techniques underlying the various ciphers. Although Holden's book follows a basically chronological path, you won't find too much interest in pre-computer ciphers here: Enigma is cracked on page seventy, and the name Alan Turing does not appear in the book.

Open Season: Pancake Flipping
In this series of articles, I'm writing about mathematical questions we don't know the answer to – which haven't yet been proven or disproven. This edition is a topical one, for Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday, celebrated in the UK this year on 9th February).
Some of the best mathematical teasers are those which originate in a real-world problem – although the problem for pure mathematicians is that that happens much less often than it does for applied mathematicians, who are presented with interesting real-world problems all the time. That's why it's especially nice when a more pure one pops up, and that's exactly what happened to mathematician Jacob E Goodman, back in 1975.
3.142: a π round-up
'Tis the season to celebrate the circle constant! Yes, that's right: in some calendar systems using some date notation, the day and month coincide with the first three digits of π, and mathematicians all over the world are celebrating with thematic baked goods and the wearing of irrational t-shirts.
And the internet's maths cohort isn't far behind. Here's a round-up (geddit – round?!) of some of our favourites. In case you were wondering, we at The Aperiodical hadn't forgotten about π day – we're just saving ourselves for next year, when we'll celebrate the magnificent "3.14.15", which will for once be more accurate to the value of π than π approximation day on 22/7. (Admittedly, for the last few years, 3.14.14 and so on have strictly been closer to π than 22/7. But this will be the first time you can include the year and feel like you're doing it right.)

Maths at the Fringe
Starting next week, the historic city of Edinburgh will be taken over by entertainers of all types, performing comedy, dance, theatre and music, entertaining visitors to their massive world-famous festival fringe. Since discerning mathematicians sometimes also enjoy being entertained, I thought I'd write a roundup of the shows maths has non-empty intersection with.
First up, since we haven't mentioned him in a while, it's Alan Turing! No, his reanimated corpse isn't performing edgy stand-up, but theatre company Idle Motion is performing a visual theatre piece entitled That Is All You Need To Know, celebrating the work of Bletchley Park codebreakers.
