Business leaders and top academic institutions have long pointed to the United States Marine Corps as an exemplary organization for leadership development and operational excellence. Here are just a few noteworthy comments about implementing the model of the Marine Corps for success in the marketplace.
"Given the tough terrain Corporate America is traversing, it may be time to send in the Marines." -Business Week
"Marine Corps training is the best management training program in America." -David Freedman, author of Brain Makers and Corps Business
"In a way, I see the Marines as a microcosm of America at its best. Their focus isn't on weapons and tactics, but on leadership. That's the whole point of the Marines." -Matt Pottinger, Wall Street Journal
"We at Southwest Airlines benefited considerably from our direct interaction with the Marines…" -Donna Conover, Executive Vice President, concerning the Southwest Airlines Marine Corps Leadership Symposium.
"How can you make your office more flexible, more adaptable to new situations and quicker to react with a higher level of performance? Think and act like Marines for one thing." -St. Louis Post Dispatch
"There is no better preparation for the rigors of running a business than the intense training of the U.S. Marine Corps." -Wharton Leadership Digest
"The fundamental principles of Marine Corps leadership are not only applicable on the battlefields but also in the boardrooms of global corporations." -Inc. Magazine
"Teams work when they are created for the right reasons, and when they are created in the right way. The organization that I think does the best job of meeting these requirements is the U.S. Marine Corps." -Jon R. Katzenbach, Peak Performance
"Business tactics have evolved in ways that are analogous to the evolution of warfare… companies can apply these (Marine Corps) tactics …to achieve breakthrough results in business." -Nigel Morris, Vice Chairman and Co-founder of Capital One
The Semper Fidelis Leadership™ Institute follows the model and principals of the U.S. Marine Corps in helping entrepreneurs win the war on small business by establishing the vision, values and systems of the business' core doctrine, raising up leaders, and finding the needed capital to grow the business and achieve short- and long-term goals.

Cody turns 6 months!
Some of the very first people I met in Crested Butte just over 2 years ago were Liz and Mark. Back then, they had an adorable, happy little boy named Nathan, who is just about the same age as my youngest. Since then, she and Mark have added another precious boy to their family. Cody is all smiles and big blue eyes! Although he was teething and a bit drooly, he was still a joy to photograph! I just loved seeing the wonderful interaction of the family during the more formal shots, but when they just played around in the bedroom, their joy with each other just shined!
We primarily focused on capturing Cody, but Nathan was such a cutie that I had far more photos of him than expected. Here are just a few of the favorites I found going through their photos once.
Happy 6 Months, Cody!
And a short slide show of the rest (They aren't fully edited as I just moved to a Mac and don't have Photoshop yet so please forgive the obviousness of the backdrop in some.):

I've been following your project this past year and have been so inspired by your work. Until today, I lurked in the background just admiring. However, today you mentioned your recent move to Mac and I felt is was a sign. I, too, have just moved to a Mac (2 weeks ago). My photography is purely novice, but I'm working to improve. I'm finding Aperture completely different than Photoshop. Anyway, I wanted to say thanks for the amazing work and best of luck with the new challenge.

Park and ride is the easiest way to get into Oxford by car. There are five park and ride sites located around Oxford's ring road, with regular bus services to the city centre, and - from some car parks - to the hospitals.
It is easy to use. You simply park your car and use a bus to get to your destination. Please note that separate charges apply for both the car park and bus journey.

Estate Plans – How Old Do You Have to Be to Have One?
Estate Plans?
Does this describe you? You're 30, single, and own a condominium. Maybe you're in a long-term relationship. You've got no kids, but a good job. (SINK, single income no kids.) Do you need estate planning? You might think you're not old enough or rich enough to need one.
Yes, it's prudent. First, age has little to do with it. Life is uncertain. One of my clients lost her 35-year-old husband suddenly when he succumbed to a heart condition. Another client, age 30, left work early on a Friday complaining of pain. That weekend, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
My youngest client is 20. I have several clients in their 90s.
Second, being rich has nothing to do with it. A Vietnam veteran left this world with under $40,000 of net worth. He had no immediate family. Without a plan of some sort, his estate plan would be a complete mess. Which debts get paid? Which people or charities receive an inheritance? Who administers his estate?
The estate is whatever you own.
Anyone with assets – real property, bank accounts, investments – has an estate. Anyone with an estate needs a plan for distributing it when he or she passes away.
So, the first thing an estate plan does is announce to the world who gets what. This is the distribution provision. It can be simple. The shortest distribution clause ever was "all to wife." Or it can be complex. One elderly client with no children and a modest estate had scores of beneficiaries. She gave her earthly belongings to nieces, nephews, friends, and qualified non-profits.
Estate plans also express parents' intentions for their minor children's care. They spell out who's in charge if the principals become incapacitated. They put in writing the individual's preferences for end-of-life treatment.
Estate plans can help family members avoid probate.
Thoughtful plans can reduce family squabbles or legal challenges, regardless of the age of the decedent.
How to get started. To prepare for a meeting with an estate planner, advisors traditionally recommend that the client prepare an inventory of assets and collect all account statements.
At our firm, we don't burden clients with a lot of homework. We generally ask the client to prepare the following before his or her first meeting:
- Contact information (address and telephone number) of beneficiaries.
- Contact information for representatives (executor, successor trustee, agent under the power of attorney).
- Contact information for primary physician, if any (which is inserted in the advance health care directive).
Most clients already have this information on their smart phones or in their purses!
Thanks for reading!

Product Reviews
My son has been using this product for two years. It was time to go up in size. Durable and holds up to washings.
Great product, my son likes using these for football. It is easy to wash, but the only thing my son complained about is the tag. The string is rough and bothers his waist, the solution was to remove the tag. Overall great product.

What's not to love, it's Frozen and it's Lego. Yes there are flowers that are not authentic to the film as some have criticised on other sites, but in the end this is a Lego set designed primarily for those girls who love frozen, as indicated by other reviews many are younger than the guided age and they will not care that this is not quite right, they want the castle with Elsa, Anna and Olaf.
We love the Lego Frozen range! But Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle 41062 must be the best model on offer, currently No.1 in Amazons best Lego sellers (Feb 2015). It includes all the great movie features which gives this set a magical feeling. Any girl OR BOY for that matter will love this set which makes it a must buy for any Lego collector or Frozen fan. Some of these features are:
- Includes Queen Elsa and Princess Anna mini-doll figures, plus Olaf the snowman
- Features a castle with icicle tree, sleigh, secret staircase, ice cream bar, bed and an ice hill
- Accessories include skis, ice skates, glittery wall elements, decorative stickers, two capes, tiara, hair bow and a carrot nose for Olaf
- Make the secret staircase appear and disappear
- Prepare tasty frozen treats in the kitchen for a picnic in the snow with Olaf
The Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle set is currently selling at with FREE delivery, but hurry as this price will go up with supply and demand.
Although the movie is a year old the popularity and hit with Frozen, Lego are bound to release more sets. With that in mind they may retire Elsa's Sparkling Ice Castle. This will mean a price rise as the demand will increase and with it slowly disappearing from shops. Lego investors will be snapping this one up so be sure you have yours before they do.

You can manage this and all other alerts in My Account The alert will be sent to: Confirm × Sign In or Create a free account to receive alerts. × Although audiologists may find many benefits in enrolling as a provider with managed care organizations (MCOs), they should be aware of potential downsides as well. Audiologists should review contracts carefully before enrolling as a provider with MCOs, a category that includes preferred provider organizations (PPOs) and health maintenance organizations (HMOs). If, for example, the contract includes a cap on the amount the audiologist can be reimbursed for a hearing aid and associated services, the service provider may lose money on a client rather than make a profit. Although many health plans cover hearing evaluations, fewer plans provide coverage for hearing aids. For many years, audiologists have been reimbursed only for providing hearing evaluation services and possibly auditory rehabilitation. However, employers increasingly look to respond to employee needs and may add hearing aids to their benefit plans. Audiologists interested in becoming providers for these plans have several approaches to consider: Contract with a PPO that specializes in hearing services, including hearing aids. Several PPOs enroll audiologists as providers with specific coverage details. Enroll in a plan with an established benefit limit, such as $1,000 per hearing aid every two or three years. In a fee-for-service plan, the audiologist is allowed to bill the patient for the balance. Under this example, if the audiologist dispenses a $3,200 hearing aid, the audiologist can bill the patient for the balance of $2,200. Enroll in a plan that reimburses the provider based upon a fee schedule or a cost-plus percentage amount that can include a cap. In this case, the audiologist submits an invoice for the hearing aid to the health plan and receives a set percentage markup over the invoice price. For example, if the invoice price is $2,000 and the reimbursement rate is 10% above invoice, the audiologist can receive $2,200. However, reimbursement may not include coverage of the associated costs, such as the hearing aid evaluation itself. In addition, the audiologist will lose money if the PPO places a cap on reimbursement for a hearing aid, and the audiologist dispenses a hearing aid that has a cost that exceeds the cap. Audiologists should read MCO contracts carefully because plans may add a hearing aid benefit but hold the clinician to the terms of the original contract. The audiologist's contract is different from the one held by the beneficiary. The plan member will see there is a $1,000 benefit toward the purchase of a hearing aid dispensed by an in-network audiologist; as a network provider, however, the audiologist must know which obligations are reimbursable. It may not be beneficial to the audiologist if the plan places a cap on reimbursement to the audiologist. 0 Comments Submit a Comment Submit A Comment Name Comment Title Comment Could not validate captcha.

The link between geology and history is simple, according to author David Mossman.
"There can be as many as six generations within one rock — changed, heated, rehardened," Mossman said. "Sedimentary rocks are made up of other rocks, which reflect a previous history — a pebble within another, like Russian dolls. The understanding and science behind this means that geologists are exceptionally equipped to grasp the element of time."
Born and raised in Lunenburg County, David Mossman spent much of his career as a professor of geoscience at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick. He retired seven years ago and now calls Wolfville home.
Deviating from scientific writing to storytelling has been a welcome change for Mossman, who has also authored Going Over: A Nova Scotian Soldier in World War I and the bestseller Oceans of Rum: The Nova Scotia Banana Fleet in Rum-Runner Heaven. He delves into the creative non-fiction space in his newest work, Random shots – Cheating Death and Embracing Danger: Nova Scotia to Nunavut, Africa to Australia.
"The story is born from my perspective on life," Mossman said. "I view our time on Earth as very limited and every step of the way is influenced by an element of chance. Our lives are sandwiched between two infinite spans of time — billions of years before our births and billions after we are dead and gone.
"It is important to have an appreciation of the element of precious time. Readers may be encompassed by the mundane activities of life — getting more stuff, keeping up with the Jones', spending to save. We use too little of our time for adventure. The message within the book is seize the day, live in the moment."
Over the course of 200 pages, Mossman takes the reader on a journey. As narrator, he uses diaries and recordings from decades of adventures to recount some of his own most adventurous experiences.
"Trapped between two infinities, a human life is a snapshot of close calls," Mossman begins his memoir. "On the highway, in war, in the wilderness, at home, on land, sea or air, it matters not. Close by, in disguise along the way, Chance marks the time remaining an individual. Life's like that — an exciting and challenging pilgrimage where a split-second decision or impulse action tips the balance in favour of survival, or not."
As his adventures continue, Mossman's next book is already in the first-draft stage and is tentatively scheduled to be released next year. While he admits that it's centred around local events and history, he noted that he "dare not risk a scoop" by giving too much of the storyline away.
"I'll continue with nonfiction, at least for the next book or two; I suspect fiction will be easier after that, especially when you're 80," Mossman quipped.

|My favorite place to sit
But I keep reminding myself we haven't even been in our house five months yet. At least, that's what I remind myself of on rainy days like today, because on days like today, I don't want to think about making changes. I just want to enjoy our home as it is.
|I've taken over Jim's old recliner as my own
Eventually, I'd like to get a comfy sofa for the room that Jim and I can cuddle on together as we watch the fire. But for now, I'm enjoying my recliner, even if I always use the footstool instead of reclining in it. It's just a good place to be lazy and listen to the rain.
|The fireplace in the sitting room.
Until then, I'm just going to enjoy my quiet time, listening to the rain, reading my book and drinking my coffee... This makes me smile. This is how home is supposed to feel.

New York…New York…the city that never sleeps!
This city has so much to offer visitors, there is always something to see or do. Spend the day marvelling at artistic masterpieces at The Met and Guggenheim Museums. Visit Ellis Island and discover the history of America's immigrants who flocked from the four corners of the globe to make a fresh start in the new world. Take the elevator to the top of the Empire State Building for breath-taking views over the city, alternatively visit the Observatory at the top of the One World Centre downtown in the financial district for a different perspective on the city's skyline.
Many of New York's most famous visitor attractions are very familiar to us but nothing compares to seeing them first hand. Take the Staten Island Ferry and sail past Liberty Island. Seeing the Statue of Liberty up close is a very different experience to seeing it on TV. Stroll through the cobbled streets of the West Village, where the NYC street grid is suspended and bohemian culture, art, music and funky restaurants thrive. Take in as much of the Big Apple as you can!
What's Included
- Return flights from Dublin to New York
- 3 NIGHTS 3* hotel accommodation
- Based on 2 adults sharing
- Prices shown based on traveling January 2019
- Quote Ref 2007638209
Staff Tips
New York- You need to book at least a week ahead of time for most of New Yorks hotspots and a full month ahead for perpetually booked favorites such as Daniel, Babbo and Le Bernardin Restaurant.
Adrienne Keogh

New York-Don't be afraid to use the subway when shopping time is short - it's so easy and fast to get around the city. (USD2.50 per trip) Taxi's are great too its just the traffic can be a bit crazy sometimes.

"This CD will change your reality, deepen your intuition

In Kabbalah, the personal name of God is sacred. More than 2,300 years ago, God's name was removed from the religious texts that link over one half of the world's populations in order to safeguard its use.
What would it mean if The Divine Name—the personal name of God encoded within the DNA of all life—could be reproduced with the human voice in its original form?
Now you can experience the power, mystery and healing of The Divine Name, re-created through the sounds that unite, rather than the letters that divide! The power of healing and peace through The Divine Name is available once again…

19 October - 1 December, 2013
Venue : TSCA Kashiwa
TSCA is pleased to present "Generating Visuals -Inspiring Circuits", a group exhibition curated by 3 artists, Yusuke Asai, Enrico Isamu Ōyama and Goro Murayama from October 19 to December 1.

Dates: October 19 – December 1, 2013
Reception for the artist: Saturday, October 19, 18:00 – 20:00
Artist talk: Sunday, October 20, 18:00 – 20:00
Venue: Takuro Someya Contemporary Art, Kashiwa
TSCA 3-3 Wakaba-cho, Kashiwa-shi, Chiba, Japan

Grant from: TEKISUIKEN CULTURAL FOUNDATION
Support: ART LINE KASHIWA ORGANIZING COMMITTEE, ISLAND JAPAN CO., Ltd (ISLAND ATRIUM), TRNK (TATSUHIKO YAMAGUCHI), YAMAZAWA ZAIMOKU CORPORATION
The exhibition, is organized in cooperation with the following galleries.
Yusuke Asai, Enrico Isamu Ōyama, Goro Murayama
[Artists statement]
Generating Visuals -Inspiring Circuits
How do the human activities of mind and form, of city and society, come into being? Are they given shape from something else, with blueprints prepared in advance? What if we instead suppose that they have an auto-systematic property that generates information and patterns according to their own autonomous configuration and process? Take for instance the way that communication networks naturally form through the likes of social networking services, or even the process through which street art perpetually innovates the urban landscape. We can find this type of auto-systematic genesis within every human activity.
Painters, too, are involved in a network of auto-inspiration that yields new elements, stimulated by the colors, shapes, and tactile sensations that they themselves bring into being as they create the world of their art. The artists in this exhibition in particular – Yusuke Arai, Enrico Isamu Ōyama, and Goro Murayama – develop their visuals by proactively implementing such processes of genesis in the creation of their art. In this exhibition, we hope to draw attention to this pictorial expression of genesis.
Asai, Ōyama, and Murayama each come from different backgrounds. The way each creates units via motifs, strokes, and the act of "drawing", repeating discontinuously from one to the next, along with the constant proliferation of the patterns that produce these units, can be translated as the common term that characterizes all three. Especially in light of the sustained "temporal" aspect of these works, we must regard the efforts of these three artists as a manifestation of a more fundamental formative movement that goes beyond the realm of mere visual art. Let us call this a "Generating Visuals -Inspiring Circuits ": this includes the family of images and divergent drawings that flow forth from Asai; the patterns extracted from the visual language of graffiti and the variations thereof, which Ōyama has termed "Quick Turn Structure"; and the organic artwork formed from the interplay between the woven canvases and bundled strokes of Murayama. All of these come about as unsupported, unique and intrinsic formative expressions. They are part of a movement, generating a visual language one could call the "nature of the painter" according to the chain production of morphology and perpetual self-inspiration.

You must be well aware of the call drop nuisance, especially if you live or work in a metro city. It is such a pain when you are in middle of an important conversation and all of a sudden the call gets dropped. The situation gets worse especially if you are travelling in a vehicle or metro train.
If you suffer due to frequent call drops then don't worry, Govt. may soon pass an order which will make telecom operators return the call charges for the dropped call or to offer compensatory airtime in lieu of deficient services.
Speaking at a function on Tuesday to mark successful one year of PM Narendra Modi's govt., Telecom Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, said the government is exploring the possibility of bringing in disincentives for telecom operators to counter the issue. He further added that telecom operators need to ensure that call drops are "minimized"and they need to strengthen their system.
"Call drops need to be minimised. They (private operators) need to reinforce their mechanism. I have directed officials in the department to work on a disincentive architecture (for the operators),"
In last decade Indian telecom sector has grown by leaps and bounds and has become world's second largest market behind only China. During course of time, call rates kept falling down, so did the quality of service. Condition is severely critical in metros like New Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Kolkatta.
Mobile operators put the blame of call drops on insufficient spectrum availability coupled with restrictions on erecting telecom towers in the wake of alleged radiation health hazard.
Mobile operators like Reliance Communications and Uninor acknowledged the menace of call drops, and are compensating their customers for dropped calls as and when applicable in their respective service areas.

A Belgian court has found the leader of the now disbanded group Sharia4Belgium guilty of sending men to fight in Syria. Fouad Belkacem was one of 46 standing trial in Antwerp accused of encouraging young Muslims to join jihadi groups, Sky News reports.
After the verdict, public prosecutor Ann Fransen told reporters: "Belkacem's words can only be interpreted as a call to violence and jihad."
The Moroccan-born car mechanic was sentenced to twelve years in prison on top of the two he is already serving for inciting hatred against non-Muslims.
He smiled as he was led into the court in handcuffs, joined by seven of the others who also stood accused.
The remainder of the 46 who were on trial in Antwerp were believed to be fighting in Syria or have died in the conflict. But Belkacem himself has never been to the war torn country which is in the grip of the fundamentalist Islamic State.
He is known for his street sermons and was a leading figure in brainwashing young men: the aim of his group was to establish Sharia Law in Belgium, a sentiment he expressed in a series of Youtube videos.
A key prosecution witness was 20-year-old Jejoen Bontinck, who was also charged with belonging to Sharia4Belgium. Belkacem was accused of radicalising the young man who was later given a 40-month suspended sentence on account of his assistance with securing the prosecution of the ring leader and other key figures.
Bontinck claimed he had travelled to Syria as an aid worker to help victims of the fighting but his father Dimitri, who travelled to the country to bring his son home, said he knew he was being indoctrinated.
The other members of the group were sentenced to between three and five years in prison, with some of the sentences being suspended.
On conviction, Judge Luc Potargent said: "Belkacem is responsible for the radicalisation of young men to prepare them for Salafist combat, which has at its core no place for democratic values.
"Sharia4Belgium recruited these young men for armed combat and organised their departure for Syria."
An estimated 350 Belgian nationals have left for Syria, meaning the country has more radicalised jihadi fighters per head of population than any other European country.
Only last month the country was on high alert after a plot to kill the police was uncovered last month. Three men died as law enforcers conducted morning raids on a house in Verviers.

Click here for the latest odds on winning the Australian open from Betfair
Briton Andy Murray will face defending Aussie Open Champion, Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals after both men won in straight sets in the quarter-finals on Wednesday.
The British number one had little trouble beating Japen's Kei Nishikori in a impressive straight sets winning 6-3 6-3 6-1 to reach the last four in Melbourne for the third consecutive year. "It was tough. I didn't serve well but the returning was good," said Murray. "It was a good match, a lot of fun points, most of them he was winning so I was trying to keep them as short as possible. But I need to serve better. My game has been getting better each match and I am moving better and I am going to be fresh going into the weekend."
World number one Novak Djokovic had to overcome a hamstring injury in the second set against David Ferrer but he recovered and defeated the battling Spaniard, 6-4 7-6 (7-4) 6-1. He will face Andy Murray in a rematch of last year's final on Friday at 0830 GMT, live on BBC Two.
"It was definitely a physically tough game. Already after a couple of games I felt it was going to be a long night. I was lucky to get out of the second set [because of the hamstring problem]. You just have to keep hanging in there. Players like Ferrer with great character and great fighting spirit always make you play extra well."
On Murray, "It's going to be hard – Andy is playing great. He has showed he is in great shape and he has Ivan Lendl [Murray's coach] on his side. I feel he is physically great and eager to win his first Grand Slam."
In-form Roger Federer plays Rafael Nadal in the other semi-final on the Rod Laver Arena on Thursday.

Latest Unemployment & GDP Figures
[ 15-10-2014 ]
Commenting on today's release of official data which showed that the Scottish economy grew by 0.9% in the second quarter of 2014 and that Scottish unemployment fell by 40,000 in the three months to August 2014, Liz Cameron, Director/Chief Executive of Scottish Chambers of Commerce, said:
On Unemployment:
"It is, of course, excellent news that Scotland's unemployment rate continues to fall and that employment continues to rise. These are concrete signs of an economy that is looking forward with optimism and of businesses which have ambitions to grow. The clear priority in the labour market now must be to boost our productivity and ensure that both businesses and employees reach their full potential. It is through increased productivity that businesses will achieve growth and that we will begin to see a rise in real wages, which continue to lag behind inflation. Scottish Government policy must focus on ensuring an appropriately skilled workforce for business needs and that is why it is so important that the recommendations of the Commission for Developing Scotland's Young Workforce be taken forward as a matter of priority."
On Gross Domestic Product (GDP):
"Scotland's economy has now grown for eight consecutive quarters and our growth rates in 2014 so far have been equal to or higher than those of the UK as a whole. We are also beginning to see evidence, confirmed by the International Monetary Fund last week, that our economy is achieving a heathier balance between growth led by consumer demand and growth led by business investment. Expectations are that the rate of growth we have experienced in the first six months of the year may not quite be replicated in the second half of the year, but nonetheless this latest rise in GDP is an extremely positive sign that the Scottish economy has the potential to sustain growth over the medium term. Threats remain, however, not least as a result of the downgrades to the economic outlooks of the Eurozone, Russia, the Middle East and Japan."

Thousands rally for Netanyahu as scandals multiply
Supporters lash out against the left and media, accusing them of trying to bring down the prime minister with allegations of corruption
Thousands of Likud supporters gathered Wednesday in Tel Aviv to rally in support of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has been beset by a series graft investigations and scandals surrounding him and his family.
As participants waited for the speakers to begin, Likud Knesset members, ministers and party activists chanted "Netanyahu is the king of Israel," and "There will be nothing because there is nothing," a phrase the prime minister has repeated in reference to the corruption allegations against him.
Netanyahu has escaped several scandals before, but the scope of the latest accusations appears to pose his stiffest challenge yet.
The anger of the crowd was directed against the left-wing and the media, which Netanyahu has repeatedly blamed for being behind a campaign to depose him.
Posters at the event carried a number of slogans, including: "The people choose and the left undermines" and "Enough with the attempted putsch."
At the entrance of the event, one activist held a sign reading "Fake news is fucking news" and several journalists were verbally abused by participants.
The rally was also attended by senior Likud ministers who turned out in support of Netanyahu.
"We are saying here that there is one king who has been crowned by the public. Anyone who want to get rid of him should go to the ballot box," Communications Minister Ayoub Kara told the Times of Israel.
"You won't get rid of him with bottles, or ice crime and definitely not champagne," he said referring to some of the things the Netanyahus have been accused of receiving illicitly.
"I am not complaining about the legal authorities, I trust them, and support them. But there are those who are trying to pressure them and we wont allow it, Kara said.
That message was echoed by Likud lawmakers.
"As Bibi says, there will be nothing because there is nothing. Nothing, nothing, nothing," said MK Yaron Mazuz, referring to Netanyahu by his nickname.
"We are protesting against anyone who is trying to destroy Bibi. The media, the state prosecution. There is an investigation now but it will end with nothing," he said.

Organizers expected thousands to attend and Likud activists arranged bus transport to Tel Aviv from Tiberias, Ariel, Ashdod, Ashqelon, Yavneh, Netanyah, Rehovot, Haifa and Rishon Lezion.
Speaking to The Times of Israel, Rivka, a Likud activist from Rishon Lezion, said that the event is "pro-Bibi and not anti-media," but that news outlets must take responsibility for their role "in the terrible sins done against Netanyahu."
"He is innocent, we all know it and you know it too," she said, referring to the media. "You have hated him for years and now you are doing all you can to perpetuate the lies about him being corrupt. He is not."
Speaking to The Times of Israel, controversial Likud MK Oren Hazan said that the rally is "to show support for Netanyahu and not to attack anyone specific, but we need to understand that there are serious problems with the state prosecution."
At a meeting earlier in the day, Hazan accused prosecutors of seeking to use legal means in order topple the prime minister, saying that they were "full of shit."
Party leaders described the rally as an attempt to counter a vicious campaign by a hostile media and overzealous police and state prosecution. But the gathering was also serving as a test of Netanyahu's popularity and control over his party.
Netanyahu, the second-longest serving leader in Israeli history, is engulfed in a series of scandals relating to alleged financial misdeeds and supposed illicit ties to executives in media, international business and Hollywood.
One investigation involving Netanyahu, dubbed by police as "Case 1000," reportedly concerns claims he improperly accepted lavish gifts from wealthy supporters, including Australian billionaire James Packer and Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan.
The second investigation, "Case 2000," reportedly concerns Netanyahu's alleged attempts to strike a deal with publisher Arnon Mozes of the Yediot Ahronot newspaper group to promote legislation to weaken Yediot's main competitor in exchange for more favorable coverage of Netanyahu by Yediot.
His wife Sara Netanyahu is also facing indictment for misusing state funds at the prime minister's residence.
Israeli police investigators say they suspect Netanyahu of being involved in bribery, fraud and breach of trust in a pair of cases.
Netanyahu's former chief of staff and longtime confidant, Ari Harow, last week signed a settlement connected to a separate case in which he agreed to testify against his former mentor. This has raised speculation that Netanyahu could be indicted soon, and has sparked opposition calls for him to step down.
Netanyahu has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and called the accusations a witch hunt.
No one in the party has come out against Netanyahu yet — reflecting both loyalty and the fear of crossing him.
Internal criticism has emerged only from those outside of politics. Limor Livnat, a former Likud cabinet minister, has condemned the attacks on the police and prosecution and said that Netanyahu should step aside if indicted.
Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked of the Jewish Home party has said Netanyahu would not have to step down even if he is indicted. That means his short-term future will likely depend on whether he can maintain political and public backing.
A third investigation, "Case 3000," relates to a possible conflict of interests involving the purchase of German submarines, in which Netanyahu's cousin and personal attorney represented the German firm involved in the deal.
Netanyahu has dismissed the suspicions as "background noise" and vowed to push forward.
A handful of counter-demonstrators gathered outside the event and changed "Bibi go home" using the prime ministers nickname.

Mapping Census data from Newcastle commuters
In my current Research Associate role at the Institute for Health and Society, I'm working with a lot of data on travel behaviour, traffic flow and traffic accidents. As part of this, I've been having fun mapping Census data on how people travel to work. Since the data are publicly available, it would be a shame not to share some of the interactive maps I've built. So here they are. You can open the publicly available interactive maps by clicking on the screenshots below.
The data are organised by Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOAs – read more about ONS geographies here) and the maps were built using Google Fusion Tables, by uploading a CSV of the 2011 Census data on Travel to Work and combining it with a KML file of the boundaries of the LSOAs in Newcastle Upon Tyne, which I created myself. For an introduction to how to create maps using Fusion Tables, go here.
Map 1 – people travelling to work by bus
Perhaps unsurprisingly, those living within a few miles of Newcastle city centre, but not in it, were most likely to travel to work by bus. The proportion of people travelling by bus also tends to be higher in the more economically deprived parts of the city.
Map 2 – people travelling to work by underground, metro, light rail or tram
No big surprises here. A greater proportion of people reported travelling to work by underground, metro, light rail or tram in the LSOAs with, or near, metro stations.
Map 3 – people travelling to work by train
As with the other maps, the raw numbers are small, but the greater proportions of the available commuter populations are travelling by train in those LSOAs near central station.
Map 4 – people travelling to work by taxi
Once more, the numbers are small, but I was surprised to see that anyone at all travels to work by taxi. Furthermore, there was a higher proportion of self-reported taxi commuters in the more economically deprived areas of Newcastle. Perhaps these people are taxi drivers?
Map 5 – people travelling to work by motorbike
Bikers don't appear to be numerous in Newcastle, nor does their distribution take on a discernible pattern. However, the biker stronghold of Newcastle seems to be in Coxlodge, where the proportion of people who report getting to work by motorbike reaches its zenith at 1.3%.
Map 6 – people travelling to work by car
The car commute is, of course, the most common. The numbers are high and increase with distance from the city centre, while driving sees its nadir at 17.07%, in the LSOA next to Newcastle Central Station.
Map 7 – people travelling to work as passengers in cars
People getting to work in other peoples' cars are fewer than those driving themselves. Interestingly, the patterns also appear to be different, with a higher proportion of car passengers coming from LSOAs at intermediate distances from the city centre.
Map 8 – people who get to work by bicycle
As with many other modes of transport, bar the car, the numbers of people reporting bicycle use are low. However, the higher proportions do seem to be in inner-city LSOAs with thriving student populations.
Map 9 – those who walk to work
Unsurprisingly, the proportions of people walking to work are greatest in the city centre and decrease with distance from the city. However, peak walking proportions are at 49.48% and can be seen in the LSOA adjacent to my place of work.
Map 10 – people travelling by other means
These people travelling by "other means" are somewhat of a mystery. The 2011 Census Analysis on Method of Travel to Work in England and Wales Report reported that, "all of the English regions and Wales had less than 1 per cent of people commuting by other means (such as by ferry)." So the 2.88% travelling by other means in Newcastle upon Tyne 024B are an intriguing group. This LSOA is mainly park land, north of the city centre. There is no large body of water in the area, so the ONS assertion that, "ferry and hovercraft services are likely to make up the majority of the other means of commuting to work", doesn't explain this particular group of commuters. Perhaps they're commuting by skateboard, by zip wire, on horseback, or by mobility scooter? Answers on a postcard please.
Video: Extrinsic mortality risk and health behaviour
I failed to include the video of my own talk in my recent post about the inaugural meeting of the International Society for Evolutionary Medicine and Public Health. Here it is.
Highlights from the first meeting of the International Society for Evolutionary Medicine and Public Health
I recently enjoyed the privilege of speaking at the inaugural meeting of the International Society of Evolutionary Medicine and Public Health. The event included a spread of fascinating talks on topics from trade-offs in cancer susceptibility to the evolution of sleep. I have highlighted a few of the talks here, but there were lots more excellent talks and some of the videos can be found on Vimeo (others should be available soon).
I highly recommend joining the society: more information at http://www.evolutionarymedicine.org/

The Sims 4 Laundry Day Stuff PC Game Download
The Sims 4 Laundry Day Stuff Download has at last arrived. In April 2017 engineers from the amusement connected with the group to help make another Stuff pack. Drop everything and begin swapping outfits, in light of the fact that your Sims would now be able to do their own particular clothing! Evidently it is something we as a whole needed to do in The Sims 4, so… yahoo! Nation meets boho in the new Laundry Day Stuff pack! The new outfits are flower child confirmation without a doubt, all the dainty bohemian prints and botanical plans are astounding. The nature of the things are magnificent and it's amusing to see that the victors of the reviews made it into the genuine amusement. Not that I suspected something, but rather you know…
Ladies get a delightful dress and heaps of charming tops to pick from for their new outfits. The finish can be joined with another match of thin pants, with a wide belt around it. The new boots are the prettiest ones yet, they aren't as massive as a portion of the others in the amusement. Basic, yet exquisite and fun. I likewise adored the over-knee socks. They are super charming, I simply thought that it was odd they were under the legging class, however I can absolutely experience that.Tragically, men are given significantly less things than ladies once more. They are getting a unimportant aggregate of three tops and two bottoms and that is about it. It is fairly reasonable as a great deal of Simmers want to play with female Sims, yet it just feels somewhat imbalanced. I regularly battle to give my male Sims a fun outfit, since I end up reusing outfits from the Sims previously. It's all slightly dismal, truly. Guys aren't notwithstanding getting any shoes. These poor, shoe-less animals.
I was likewise a bit knock out when I discovered that children get only two things altogether. A dress and a sweater. No haircuts, no shoes, no frill. When we got the uncover of the two victors of the votes it never came up to me that it implied those eventual the main ones. Be that as it may, senseless me, maybe my own blame for suspecting something. Beside the outfits we were given three haircuts for Sims maturing Teen and up. The two hairdos for ladies are ideal for a day of cleaning around the house. Pick between a shortsighted updo with a clasp or a charming bun with a hairband to get each one of those long hairs off the beaten path. Guys are given a unisex haircut which is of incredible quality and it looks okay. It's simply not my most loved hairdo in the diversion.
Well at that point. Would i be able to simply say how pitiful I am that babies are totally let well enough alone for this pack? We have had a couple of increments for them to the amusement, yet not almost enough. What's more, particularly as this was an incredible chance to give them some bohemian apparel as well, as they weren't anywhere near yet for The Sims 4: Movie Hangout Stuff. The main thing for little children is a basic, however adorable in any case, activity when they play in the clothes washer tub. Such a bummer.As there aren't numerous Build things, we should rapidly cover these first. There is one wonderful window for a medium estimated divider. It makes any room look extremely roomy and it's a beautiful question. The main thing I could include is that maybe it would have been pleasant to have distinctive sizes so it would fit on any divider, yet on the other hand, that would simply have been an or more. It doesn't detract from the colossal nature of the window.
At that point there are the other two Build things: the entryways. The distinction between them is a sun screen that spreads some portion of the little window, which is an extremely decent detail. The entryways arrive in a decent assortment of shading swatches. By that the nature of the plan is extraordinary and it suits the nation vibes of Laundry Day Stuff well.Unfortunately there aren't some other Build protests in the pack. A rural floor tile or possibly a mushy backdrop with a flower example would have been astonishing for Laundry Day Stuff. There are provincial tiles and backdrops in different packs, yet I believe it's a missed open door.
Proceeding onward to the Buy things, we are getting an astounding measure of 46 things to pick from! I should concede I am all around inspired with this number. It's a decent change to see a Stuff pack at long last topped off with an appropriate measure of "Stuff", since a portion of alternate packs tend to feel somewhat void. In the first place up are the clothes washers clearly. An awesome detail is that the dryer can be stacked over the washer. The machines have a great time shading swatches to pick from, going from brilliant red or yellow to a delicate pastel pink or blue. There's likewise a wash tub and garments line for Simmers who might want to play with a more eco-accommodating way of life.
There are a lot of brightening things in The Sims 4: Laundry Day Stuff. Wicker containers in all shapes and sizes, succulents in slow cookers, a pressing board mounted on the divider, this pack has everything! All the messiness can make any house feel familiar. There was not one brightening thing that I didn't care for, as they were all of extraordinary quality and plan AND assortment! The beautifications are just stunning.

Goal Setting That Works is about my journey in achiving my goals. I won't say that I know a lot about goal setting, but I truly believe in the power of goals.
If I look back a few years in my life, I had come to Singapore for a contract IT job. I was getting the minimum salary allowed to get an employment pass in Singapore. It was difficult to survive on it. I had just got married, and in a new land, it was dificult to live with a small amount.
At times I decided to leave the job and go back, but I persisted, and vowed that I will find a job that will give me the salary that I deserved.
The economy was good, the times were good, so I started applying for jobs from the local newspapers. I used to send atleast 20 resumes every night. But I did'nt get a single reply back. Singapore companies did'nt even have the basic courtsey to inform candidates if they made it or not. They clearly listed in the advertisements - "only shortlisted candidates will be informed".
With no luck, I had pretty much given up hope of living a comfertable life in Singapore. With my contract term about to expire, I went and told my supervisor of my decision to not renew, as I did'nt think the salery I was getting was worth staying there for.
To my surprise, the supervisor was already in touch with my contracting company to work out a deal where I could leave my contracting company, and join their company as a full time employee. This had happened as my supervisor had appreciated the quality of my work at many times.
But when I threw in the towel, they asked me how much I wanted. I named my figure, which was kinda high at that time. But to my utter astonishment, they accepted it on the spot.
Thus began my career in this company, with the status of a full time employee, with a salary that I asked for.
Back then, I did not realise, but this whole thing grew out of my frustration with my current plight, and was strong desire to get the job that I wanted with the kind of salary I wanted. This wasn't wishful thinking, but in effect, it was my goal. My first goal that I truly wanted.
Over the years, I read Anthony Robbins, Brian Tracy, Napolean Hill, Wayne Dyer among others. And my thinking shifted. I started to write down my goals. One of the exercises in a Brian Tracy tape asked me to write down my top 50 things that I wanted to accomplish, and then file that list somewhere away, to be seen some time later. I wrote a long list of everything I could dream of - doing MBA, learning to play the Sitar, Visitng Thailand, being a published author, speaker and writer etc.
Actually I forgot where I kept that list. You know, sometimes, when I want to keep something very safe and secure, I hide it some very obscure place, thinking nobody can find it. And it is true. After a while, even I can't find it myself. But that aside, I chanced upon the list some 4 years later, when I was moving house.
I was amazed at what I saw. More than 60% of the things I had written had actually happened. I had enrolled in an MBA program and even completed it, I had visited Bangkok in Thailand with my wife and kids, I had learnt to play Sitar, an Indian classical musical instument, and one of my articles was published in a book, among the many things I had written.
That was the time when I truly became a student of Goal Setting. I started studying it, trying different approaches on it, researching on it, and reading whatever material I could find in the local library and on the Internet.
This blog and the GoalSettingThatWorks website is my desire to share my learings with you, so that you can benefit from them too. The goal writing and reminder service is free for you to use, and share with your family and friends.
Use it and benefit from it. Use it to achieve and fulfill your dreams. I have had exceptional results, simply by writing down my goals, and reading them regularly.
Dr. Wayne Dyer wrote a book called "You'll See it When You Believe It." I have seen this happen in my life, and many of our readers have written to me about their successes too. I feel that if you write your goals, you activate the universe to get it to you. If you truly believe in your goals, they will surely manifest.
Go ahead, get started now. You can write your goal here, and we will remind you every week!
See the results in just a few short weeks or months…

Winter's Demon
by Eric R. Asher
Series: Vesik #3
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Publication: June 16th 2014
Some things can never be undone. The horrors I've defeated—or even caused—with my own hands … they are nothing compared to what's coming. Philip Pinkerton has brought his madness upon my family, my own blood. His army of necromancers is on the move, harbingers of a great darkness. I fear the war has begun … and damn, I don't get paid enough for this.
~Top Ten Influences~
There are many authors that have inspired me with their incredible creativity and prose:
David Drake
C.S. Friedman
Neil Gaiman
Melanie Rawn
Patricia Briggs
Tad Williams
Robert Asprin – Myth Adventures was one of the earliest series I loved growing up.
Holly Lisle – Her blogs and guides on writing taught me a great deal about the craft.
The libraries in Saint Louis that enabled me to take so many wonderful adventures as a child.
The passionate teachers I had who helped instill a love for literature.
~Winter's Demon Playlist~
I was on a serious Offspring kick while working on Winter's Demon, as you'll probably notice. My Chemical Romance and Florence + The Machine were also on repeat quite a bit. I tend to use different sections of my playlists to help set different moods while writing. I grew up playing the cello, and music has always had a big role in my life. — Eric R. Asher
The Offspring: Amazed / The Kids Aren't Alright / Come Out Swinging / Vultures / Half-Truism / You're Gonna Go Far, Kid / A Lot Like Me / Can't Repeat
My Chemical Romance: Helena / The Ghost Of You / Cemetery Drive / Famous Last Words / SING / DESTROYA
Florence + The Machine: Only If for a Night / Shake It Out / What the Water Gave Me / No Light, No Light / Seven Devils
A few others that found their way onto my playlist while writing Winter's Demon:
Fireworks At Dawn by Senses Fail
Islands by The xx
The Humbling River by Puscifer
Sail by AWOLNATION
Sometimes the Line Walks You by Murder By Death
Bleeding Out by Imagine Dragons
Into Dust by Mazzy Star
I love this playlist, Eric! If I could listen to music while I write, I imagine we'd have a similar list of bands and songs to compare.
~The Vesik Series~
