Australians tend to underestimate the importance that Asians place on building rapport prior to discussing business matters.
In practical terms, this could mean holding off until up to one week before you start raising topics that would typically be addressed on Day 1 of an equivalent business introduction in Australia. The problem is that failing to first invest sufficient time in developing personal relationships could inadvertently leave you wondering why your Asian counterpart has lost interest even before you've taken a seat at the negotiating table.
This is one of the mistakes that intercultural consultant Craig Shim shared with local businesses at RDA Moreton Bay's recent Exporters Workshop. During this interactive session, local exporters and other professionals worked collaboratively in teams to solve a negotiation scenario.
The workshop format for this event facilitated by Craig Shim generated plenty of discussion. "Working with fellow locals on this type of practical exercise is a valuable way to tap into the knowledge and expertise that already exists within our region" commented one of the workshop participants.
Workshop facilitator Craig Shim is the Director and founder of Alphacrane Intercultural Specialists, a locally-based consultancy specialising in cross-cultural business and communication skills.

Be Prepared
I've found myself having a hard time with the competition diet lately. I've come to realize I was letting myself go too long in between meals, allowing myself to get hungry, and then my mind goes wild with crazy things I want to eat. The thing is, I need to be better prepared. I can't let myself get to the hungry point... not only because of the cravings, but if I get hungry- that means my body might be using my muscles for food! I don't want to breakdown ANY muscle! So I'm making the necessary changes to make sure this doesn't happen. This picture is just an example of how, as competitors (and also those attempting to live a healthy lifestyle) need to be prepared and plan ahead. That means, packing home cooked meals and carrying a lunch box, so if I get stuck out somewhere... I have HEALTHY food ready to eat! Just a side note, it's always much quicker to go ahead and fix extra food when you cook. Store what you don't need in tupperware in the fridge for later use. That way, you can throw it in a lunch box, or grab it out of the fridge, throw it in the microwave and eat up as needed... rather than taking a half hour to try to fix something while munching away on foods probably not needed.

Be PROductive... Not DEstructive!
So even as a fitness competitor, things don't always go as planned. While I'm a VERY positive person and try to find the best in every situation, I still have my "down" days where things go wrong. I had one of those days today. By this evening, I began craving tacos! They are my stress food and emotional relief! Before I got in the car and drove to taco bell, I reminded myself of what all I put into being a fitness competitor and what my goals are for this year! I went in our little home gym and did an extra session of cardio and worked out on our ab bench. I finished up my mini workout session with some progress pictures so I could see what I needed to improve on in the next 5 and half weeks before Chicago! As hard as it was, I passed up on the tacos and made my evening PROductive, rather than DEstructive!
The next time you're at a fork in the road... remember your goals! Don't think emotionally and react. Sit down and weigh out your options and make the most PRODUCTIVE decision that will help you toward your goals! Not harm your goals! Enjoy the progress pics I took!
God Bless,

NPC Pittsburgh Fitness CHAMPION!
That's right! I was able to pull off the win at the NPC Pittsburgh Championships! It was a WONDERFUL weekend away with my husband! This show was amazing! The prejudging did seem to last a long time, but since fitness physique round was last, I was able to sit out in the audience and enjoy the majority of the show! The routines opened up the night show and we had already received our awards before the guest posers took the stage! I loved the guest posing and how they involved the audience and actually went out through the crowd! It was awesome! My husband and I slept in the next morning, had breakfast at the hotel, then hit the road for a great drive home! Next stop: Jr Nationals. June 18th-19th in Chicago, Illinois!

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) --Leuth Sengsongkham sits alone at the defense table, a killer hoping to avoid spending the rest of his life isolated from his family. Two years ago, he killed his wife of more than 30 years and the man she wanted to replace him.
"He just lost it when Rattana said she was moving in with Keo," said Roberto Dulce
Sengsongkham shot Rattana Chounramany and Keo Thongkhamvilay in the field where they all worked, and left them there while he drove to see two daughters in Las Vegas. Another farmworker found the victims just before Chounramany's family got worried, and came to the field themselves.
"He pointed to the bodies," said Inthanong Chounramany, victim's sister.
Word spread fast in the family and reached Nevada where his own daughter turned him in to police.
"I picked up the phone and told them my dad had just killed my mom," said Joann Chounramany, victim's daughter.
Detectives found the murder weapon in Sengsongkham's car and his wife's blood on his shoes. They said he admitted to killing her after about a year of the marriage going bad.
Prosecutor William Lacy said, "He actually even tells police he considered divorcing Rattana, but thought it was a better idea to kill her and then kill himself."
Sengsongkham is 62-years-old, he faces life in prison if the jury finds him guilty of murder. Whether he killed in a fit of rage after his wife rejected his one last attempt to get her back, as the defense claims, or thought about it for a while could be the difference between murder and manslaughter.
Sengsongkham's attorney is using a "heat of passion" defense, saying intense emotions provoked a rash decision, which would lead to a manslaughter conviction and a prison sentence of between 12 and 42 years.

In steel city, a budget crunch combines two precincts. One run by straight shooter COOPER, the other by his long time rival MERRICK. Now there's only room for one top cop and Merrick's sure his seniority makes him a shoe in. But crime in Merrick's jurisdiction is out of control and Cooper gets the job.
The reason for the crime wave? Merrick's rotten to the core, lining his pockets and those of his men. Only one rookie, JASON, refuses to play ball. And when he blows the whistle to Cooper, the greenhorn and the new chief find themselves with a bounty on their heads.

Complete Easter Egg Guide | 'Fireworks' Walkthrough
The "casual" Easter egg quest is all about uncovering the artifact. There's an alternate quest where you'll save Klaus, but we're focusing on the first quest path here. For completing this Easter egg, you'll unlock the "Fireworks" achievement / trophy.
Before we get started, there are two prerequisites you'll need to complete before starting the Easter egg quest.
Turn the 3 valves and activate the Pilot Light in the Village Square to unlock the Sewers.
Activate the Generator in the Sewers.
Unlock the bunker door to Command.
Activate the strange machine and flip the switches in the Lab / Morgue.
Activate the Disposal Tube system in the Sewers.
Go through all three fast-travel tubes and unlock the Weapon Upgrade Station.
When you've completed all of those steps, you'll be able to begin the main Easter egg. Check out the guides in the links above for more details.
Step #1: Charge The Device
Once the power is activated, you'll be able to access the Salt Mines. Collect enough points and travel down into the Salt Mines, then unlock the door to the Emperor's Chamber.
Inside, you'll see a massive statue and a strange device with a hilt directly in front of the statue. Interact with the hilt, then kill zombies to collect souls — zombies killed in the Emperor's Chamber will charge the hilt, causing it to levitate up and into the Command room above the Emperor's Chamber.
NOTE: You'll know when you've collected enough souls — the room will flood with orange-red light.
Step #2: Escort the Transfer Device
Backtrack to the Command room and turn the crank attached to the strange metal device in the center of the room. This is the "canopy" — you'll need to stand still and slowly crank for several seconds, so clear the zombies or get friends to help you stay alive.
Now that the transfer device is in the Command room, reach the upper deck control room area and hit the big red button. The transfer device will begin moving on a rail through the side-doors attached to the Control room — follow the transfer device along the rails.
Periodically, the transfer device will stop. Stand in the red zone underneath the device and kill zombies to charge it. Zombie souls will fly into the device, and it will continue on its path. Only zombies inside the red circle will charge the device.
Place all the Tesla Gun parts on the Weapon Forge.
Step #3: Complete the Tesla Gun
The transfer device will eventually reach a generator and stop. When it does, wait about 15-20 seconds until it produces a piece of the Tesla Gun. Collect the weapon piece and the device will move along the tracks to the opposite room / generator to produce a second Tesla Gun part.
After getting two pieces, the trasnfer device will move on the rails back to the Command room. Continue to escort it — once you reach Command, a Burner boss zombie will spawn in the control room.
NOTE: Watch where you kill the Burner zombie. You'll need to collect the Burner's head for a later step in the Easter egg quest.
Defeat the Burner zombie (shoot the gas tanks on its back, then the body) and then go upstairs to the control room. Activate the machine where the transfer device has stopped to begin crafting the Tesla Gun. After 15-20 seconds, the Tesla Gun will be complete. Collect the Tesla Gun and keep it for later steps in the Easter egg.
Look at this contraption to determine the colors / numbers combo.
Step #4: Reroute the Power
Now that you have the Tesla Gun, go down to the Emperor's Chamber and examine the "Right Hand of God" — that's on the right, naturally. Interact with the strange device to the left as you enter. It won't work, so return to the control room in Command and look at a panel on the wall opposite the Tesla Gun Forge.
Power Puzzle Solution:
The wall panel shows 4 numbers, with a different color under each number. The numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4 — with a corresponding color for each — red, blue, or green.
Take note or screenshot the wall panel.
Each number refers to a power station on the map. Interact with each power station to match the corresponding color.
Example: Power Station #1 = Red, Power Station #2 = Red, Power Station #3 = Green, Power Station #4 = Blue.
The power stations are labeled "Rot (Red), Grun (Green), and Blau (Blue)" — turn the switch on each power station to match the first panel.
There are four Power Stations you'll have to change to reroute power.
Power Station 01: Located just to the right of the colors panel, on the wall opposite the Tesla Gun Forge.
Power Station 02: In the Sewers, near the Morgue path.
Power Station 03: Also past the Sewers Upgrade Station, at the Riverside tunnel.
Power Station 04: In the Pub area, near the Tower gate.
If you're too slow, the rerouting will reset. Return to the colored power grid panel and interact again to restart. With the power fully re-routed, you'll next need to activate and defend the Lightning Rod.
Step #5: Summon the Storm
The Lightning Rod is located at the base of the Tower. Interact with the lever to initiate a new round, and swarms of zombies will attempt to destroy the lever. Defend it — gear up with perks to handle lots of enemies in a tight environment. There isn't much room to run around here.
Activate and defend the central rod for 1-2 minutes.
Activate and defend the front left / right rods for 1-2 minutes.
You'll also need to defend the second set of rod levers. This one is tough to do solo, but it is possible. When the step is complete, you'll hear a quote. Backtrack down to the Emperor's Chamber and examine the "Left Hand of God" — this time, interact with the left hand as you enter the chamber.
Activate and defend these three lightning rods at the base of the Tower.
Step #6: Charge Three Zeppelin Generators
After interacting with the hand, return to the surface and you'll see a massive Nazi Zepellin in the sky. It'll shoot down at you, and you need to shoot back. Target a glowing red spot on the Zeppelin — make sure you and your team are shooting at the same spot.
Damage the spot enough and the Zeppelin will drop a generator. You'll see it fall into the map. Go to the generator crash site and kill zombies to charge the generator with souls. After about 30 zombie souls fly into the generator, it will explode and leave behind a battery.
NOTE: While carrying the battery, you'll move slower and won't be able to fire a weapon.
Collect the battery and sprint down to the Emperor's Chamber. Place the battery in the right hand.
Return to the surface and you'll see that the Zeppelin is back. If the Zeppelin hasn't returned yet, continue to kill zombies and survive until it does. Shoot another red glowing spot on the Zeppelin until a second generator drops. Charge it, collect it, and place the second battery in the left hand of the Emperor's Chamber.
For the third and final part of this step, shoot down one more generator. Unfortunately, it'll fly back to the Zeppelin — like before, wait for the Zeppelin to return, then shoot the red light until it falls. After tricking you once, the generator will stay on the ground. Charge the generator, collect the battery, and place it in the Emperor's Chamber.
Input the numbers from the paintings into the center device.
Step #7: Activate "The Voice Of God"
Follow the steps and interact with the hands in the Emperor's Chamber. They'll begin sparking, and you'll get a very vague objective — to activate the Voice of God. Whatever that means.
Return to Command and pick-up the Burner zombie's head from the previous step. The head is like a weapon — aim to activate the head. When you "aim-down-sights" the Burner head at particular paintings, secret writing will appear. Go around the map and use the Burner zombie head on the following painting locations.
Painting #1: Pub – On the wall next to the bar. It's a landscape.
Painting #2: Sewers – Near the Pack-A-Punch Weapon Upgrade Machine. A picture of two older folks.
Painting #3: Mortuary – In the dark area.
Painting #4: Courtyard – Near the steps.
When you shine the purple light from the Burner head, take note of an Eagle symbol and a Roman Numeral. Each painting will have a number (1-5) and an Eagle (Facing North, South, East, West) — remember each number, and each direction.
Return to the Emperor's Chamber and match each eagle symbol on the center hand device with a number. The central hand has all four eagle symbols — interact with each until you hit the number matching each symbol seen on the paintings.
Step #8: Defeat the Final Boss
This is the last step before the final boss against the giant Panzermorder monstrosity. To activate the boss, everyone in your team will need to shoot the hilt in the Emperor's Chamber with the Tesla Gun at the same time.
Collect the hilt from the pedestal, and the Panzermorder will appear. The Panzermorder is extremely powerful, and can kill you or your allies almost instantly. Don't get close to him, and just keep running around the surface. You can't kill it just by shooting it, you'll need to figure out an alternate way of defeating him.
How to Beat the Panzermorder:
Phase 1:
Shoot the red lights on the Zeppelin until a generator falls to the ground.
Kill zombies within the red zone to charge the generator until a battery spawns.
Shoot the Panzermorder until it is stunned.
While stunned, pickup the battery and quickly interact with the Panzermorder.
Phase 2:
The Panzermorder will leave. Kill zombies and survive until the Zeppelin returns.
Shoot the Zeppelin until a second generator falls down. Once again, charge it.
Stun the Panzermorder and place the battery on it again.
Phase 3:
Rinse and repeat. Survive until the Zeppelin returns, then shoot down a generator.
Like the last time you had to shoot down generators, the third generator will fly back and return to the Zeppelin. Shoot down another generator and it will stay on the ground.
Charge the generator, stun the Panzermorder, and place the battery a final time.
And that's it! You'll unlock the final cutscene, defeat the Panzermorder, and unlock the "Fireworks" achievement / trophy for solving the first Easter egg quest on this map. If you're eager to just see the final cutscene, check out the embedded video below.

Two Gary men have been charged with kidnapping a pair of women who they accused of stealing money from them after they visited a Michigan City casino one night last week, according to Lake County, Ind., authorities.
Leon Andrews Jr. and Rodney Tyree Hicks were arrested Thursday afternoon after they led police on a high-speed chase through Gary, said Lake County Sheriff Cmdr. Shaw Spurlock.
Police had set up a hostage-for-cash exchange and the men had released one of the women, but they took off when they saw the police at the scene. During the chase, the other kidnapped woman flung herself from their vehicle in an effort to escape.

Bay Farm Elementary Recycles Organics!
In our first 4 days of recyling during lunch, BayFarm students have diverted over:

The management asked to force the home page of our computers to be the Intranet page on the cloud. Some users contacted IT and requested a different home page based on their work style and better productivity which seems vary valid.
IT usually implements or pushes a group policy for such decision. Should IT just follow management instructions or do something different?

And the question is what? You do what management dictates and direct the complainers to them.
Oct 13, 2016 at 00:29 UTC
Exactly this.
And the question is what? You do what management dictates and direct the complainers to them.
A home page makes them more efficient? I doubt it.
Oct 13, 2016 at 00:36 UTC
I'm just confused as how an intrAnet site can be in or on "the cloud"...isn't intranet just internal company use (in most cases just the LAN) only by definition?
Oct 13, 2016 at 00:50 UTC
There's no contradiction here. A company's intranet could be nothing more than a SharePoint site in O365.

Oct 13, 2016 at 00:57 UTC
If management says "here is the policy" you adhere to the policy. If users ask for something different, refer them to the policy. If they don't like the policy, you refer them to management.
Now, ff users need tools and not the current intranet site, perhaps you can look into incorporating those tools as links on the intranet. Every company I've worked for has had something like that, whether it was an HR link so that people could read up on their benefits or a Sales and Marketing link so that you could track referrals, it all helped. A picture of the company logo and nowhere to go? That isn't very helpful.
Oct 13, 2016 at 01:21 UTC
At the end of the day the decision is up to management, or the CxO.
I can't see google making people more efficient, but perhaps that is the industry I am in. But regardless, if the request came from "on high" to make this happen, there was a reason for it. And it was probably (not positively, but probably) well thought out.
Oct 13, 2016 at 04:09 UTC
usually intranet will do as homepage, users complaining but if we have policy in hand its enough to answer them
other thing we can do is get them to raise ticket, you collect the report and see whether management hear the voices .
Oct 13, 2016 at 05:14 UTC
There are often reasons for having a specific home page for the company. Usually, this is because the management want there to be specific information that they believe staff should be aware of. For example, we've just 2 days public holiday and HR sent the message around the day before via email; it should have been on our Intranet home page (preferably for several days!).
Some companies insist on having their share price highlighted in the belief that staff will be motivated to work harder; or as in our case, there are links to important safety policy documents and other material.
Sadly though, a lot of places have a home page that is pretty unimpressive.
Oct 13, 2016 at 06:22 UTC
I usually get this question about management mandated desktop backgrounds. My response is generally something along the line of, how much time do you actually spend looking at your desktop background? 99% of the day I have an application open, but that's just me. (Also shhh I agree, it's horrible.)
Oct 13, 2016 at 08:45 UTC
Exactly this.
And the question is what? You do what management dictates and direct the complainers to them.

Exactly what i thought.
I'd say forward the complainers to management. This is probably one of those situation where it's the "change" that is the problem, not the results of the change. It's not really that they're less efficient, they just feel that IT is imposing something on them, even if IT is just doing the bidding of management.
As per the last question, yes, aside from breaking the law, IT does what their management asks over what their users complain about.
Simply put, management is like the captain on a ship commanding what to do. IT are just one of the guys who either steer, run the throttles, or keep the engines running. You don't get to say where you go, how fast, etc, you just implement it. If you think you have a better idea, you can recommend it, but you cant just take the helm and go a different direction.

Management gets what management wants. If you have not learnt that yet, welcome to the world of work. It does not have to be logical, or reasonable, or even sensible, but the people who decide if you get paid or not call the shots.
Oct 13, 2016 at 08:58 UTC
Why not have multiple tabs open on startup. That way the get the Homepage as defined by policy but they also get what they want on the 2nd tab.
Oct 13, 2016 at 12:44 UTC
I currently have two browsers up. Both open with four tabs.
Each of those eight tabs are for a different page, our Spiceworks page being one of them.
I see no problem in showing them how to set that up as well.
Oct 13, 2016 at 13:24 UTC
These days we have fancy new things like Links, Shortcuts and Bookmarks... problem solved.
Oct 13, 2016 at 13:43 UTC
We also have browsers other than IE... :D
Oct 13, 2016 at 14:53 UTC
Romo "
If management says "here is the policy" you adhere to the policy. If users ask for something different, refer them to the policy. If they don't like the policy, you refer them to management." - the essence of IT management, in three short sentences. Bravo!
Oct 13, 2016 at 14:54 UTC
Who's in charge would be my thought on enforcement. If management pays the bills, you kind of got to listen. I could see a home page of a system or website used for someones job be nice to pop up automatically but I don't think it makes them THAT much more productive.
Oct 13, 2016 at 14:57 UTC
Group Policy decides for us. I just never told them it was me who set it :P
Oct 13, 2016 at 15:03 UTC
As others have said, if management has made a policy about what the homepage should be, you enforce that policy and direct complaints to them. Contrary to what some others have said, I can see the point of having custom home pages aiding in productivity - a tiny bit. I have a definite preference on what comes up when I open my browsers. I have 3 tabs that open by default every time I launch a browser, and a 4th "homepage" that is the default when I open a new tab without using "Open link in new tab" from the right-click menu. However, how long does it take to click a button in the bookmark toolbar after opening the browser, really?
Oct 13, 2016 at 15:03 UTC
We used to do this when I first joined the company... but users figured out that you can just create a new desktop shortcut to whatever page you like and they just use that instead. This idea is old fashioned at best...
Oct 13, 2016 at 15:05 UTC
You do what management tells you to do.
As far as what people have on their home page, I could care less. We are all adults here.
Oct 13, 2016 at 15:05 UTC
People still enforce browser homepages? I thought we were long over that. I haven't enforced a homepage in years. I don't even understand what it does other than annoy someone for the 1.5 seconds it takes to go to the page they actually want. I get the management said to do it, and in that case it should be done, but I do think there is a time and place to explain to managers that some things just don't matter.
Oct 13, 2016 at 15:06 UTC
Whats the question you are asking? You were told by management to set in place a home page. You do it.
You could try to set the home page for just management so they think you set the policy even though all the other computers are not set.
Oct 13, 2016 at 15:06 UTC
Management sets it. But it sounds like they (not you) should have a conversation, it could end up with multiple tabs open as the start page.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Faculty/Staff Mediation Services at GVSU
Mediation Services Brochure
Mediation begins with the disputing parties agreeing to meet with two neutral facilitators (called "mediators") who guide them step-by-step through a problem-solving process.
What is Mediation?
Mediation is a nonjudicial, confidential, and voluntary process that helps people resolve their own conflicts and design their own solutions.
What are some advantages of using Mediation?
- Mediation settles disputes privately and confidentially. - Mediation focuses on problem-solving rather than placing blame. - Mediation is flexible and creative. Because solutions are tailor made for the particular situation, there is a high likelihood that solutions will be implemented and will last. Many disputes can be resolved in one mediation session. Sessions may last from one to three hours and additional sessions can be scheduled if needed. Mediation sessions will be scheduled whenever possible at a location agreeable to all participants. All GVSU faculty and staff may use campus mediation services free of charge.
Who are the Mediators?
GVSU mediators are faculty and staff trained in the process of mediation.
- Interpersonal disputes (e.g. co-worker/ supervisor disputes)
- Workplace conflicts
- Racial/cultural issues
- Faculty/staff conflicts
- Supervisory disputes
- Communication in the workplace
How can I find out if my concern is appropriate for Mediation?
Work Life Connections, at 331-2215. If mediation is appropriate, the Work Life Consultant will help you through the process of setting up a mediation.

We all knows that in Linux operating system whatever we execute is a process. So many time we don't know how to get proper information about which process. Basically it's depend on our need that why we have to get information of process.Now if we consodering a normal system user, then we can consider that he needs atleast process id to do some basic operations on that process. For example I open a firefox browser and i want to know what it's process id, so there are two way to get process id.First way is that we can open terminal and type top command that will show all the process list and from that process list we can get process id, and i think 90% of Linux user among us do the same mistake, or many of us can do ps -aux command but i would like to say that both ways are not right to do. The best way to do this is use of pgrep command. I know for many Linux users pgrep is new. Now what pgrep can do for us, pgrep can directly give us the process id of any process that is in execution. For more details you can type on terminal man pgrep.
Following figure shows that how you can use pgrep command to know process id of any process.
|Fig : 01
From other side I can say that amny user need more details of process like process id, thread id, group id etc. So we can see that also by opening the status file of that process. Here you need process id to open status file. From previous process id I am opening the status file of firefox, and all information of that process you can see in following figure. The same think you can do with other processess as well. There are lots of commands are available to make our life easier with Linux.

Evaluate Arithmetic Strings
I was recently working on a finance ledger project which required users to be able to enter transaction splits. I wanted them to be able to do math in the actual split amount fields instead of having to load up a separate calculator. So, I decided to harness the power of PHP's eval function and now make an Ajax call from the form whenever the split amount began with an equals sign.
I didn't include all of that here, but here's the one core function that I used. Before I thought of using eval, I was trying to recreate the wheel on my own and it quickly got too complicated. There are obviously lots of security concerns with eval, but by stripping out all of the non-numeric and operation characters with regex, they are mitigated.
Here's a working example. The code above is snagged directly from that page. Check it out.
Any questions? Suggestions? Stick them in the comments below.

Adelaide captain Taylor Walker isn't beating himself up over his poor patch, believing the tide could turn against Geelong on Friday night.
Walker has been nursing a foot injury which has restricted his training, leaving him underdone for matches.
The Crows skipper dropped several marks in last weekend's loss to the Western Bulldogs but Walker takes heart from getting his hands on the ball.
"I don't beat myself up. I think it's important to review your individual performance, and I know that I was very close," he told Fox Footy's AFL 360 on Thursday night.
"When you can't consistently train, an area that goes away is your touch.
"And last week I got myself to a lot of contests but wasn't able to finish the play.
"It would be different ... if I wasn't able to get to the contests and get my hands on the footy."
The injury-restricted Walker expects another secondary role when he lead the Crows against Geelong at Adelaide Oval, with Adelaide's attack now headlined by Josh Jenkins and Eddie Betts.
"I have spoken to (coach Don Pyke) Pykey along the way, we have got a really clear picture as to what I need to do to play my role," Walker.
"He has been happy with what I have been able to do.
"I have done a lot of work on my touch the last month. So for me, it's not far away ... it's just around the corner."

No time for 'teachable moment' about climate change on TV weather broadcasts
Albany area weather broadcaster says goal is middle ground on extreme storms
A climate change conference was just wrapping up Thursday at the University of Albany, where scientific experts and officials described the state's future of wetter, more extreme weather, and steps being taken and money being spent to prepare for it.
And then Mark Lowery, an analyst in the Climate Change office at the State Department of Environmental Conservation, asked why he never sees climate change discussed by any TV weather broadcasters in the Capital Region.
On the receiving end of that question was Paul Caiano, the meteorologist for NewsChannel 13, and who also happens to be a 1993 graduate of UAlbany with a degree in atmospheric science.
Given that most average people know their local television weather broadcaster better than any expert on climate science, when will those familiar faces start using extreme weather as a "teachable moment" on the scientific consensus behind man-made climate change, asked Lowery. "Who will be brave enough to be the first?"
That is not likely to happen, said Caiano. "There is the political end of it," he said. "You have to go down the middle to appeal to everyone. People need to trust their weather broadcaster. And if you take one side or another, some people won't watch you."
He added, "The last thing I want to do it get up on a soapbox ... and turn off a subset of the audience."
A recent study found that 97 percent of scientists who have published in the field of climate science believe that climate change is happening, and that is it being driven by increasing emissions of greenhouse gas from the combustion of fossil fuels. Increasing atmospheric and ocean temperatures, coupled with changes in polar ice caps, are now altering climate patterns.
Sponsored by UAlbany and the Rockefeller Institute of Government, the seminar included details of the state's changing climate, where extreme rain and storms are more likely and frequent, and presentations on how the state is reacting, like spending millions to install a high-tech weather sensing network.
This new network, called a mesonet (for mesoscale network) will spread 125 solar-powered stations across every county in the state, said Jerry Brotzge, a UAlbany researcher who is helping to develop it.
Locations are being scouted this year, and the network ought to be installed and running by next year, he said.
It will be able to collect 500,000 observations a day on data including temperature, air pressure, humidity and wind speed. That will give state emergency planners a real-time view of weather conditions everywhere in the state.
Another network aimed at detecting changing weather is being installed by the state Canal Corporation, said Howard Goebel, the corporation's engineer.
The canal was devastated by storms and flooding in 2011. Goebel said the $8.5 million network of sensors, paid for by the federal government and backed up by computerized databases and mapping, will give canal officials "improved situational awareness" of how water is moving through its system of gates and locks in enough time to react.
Canal corporation officials will also have access to mesonet data to help guide their decisions.
The science that shows the climate of New York and New England has been changing is clear, said David Vallee, the regional senior hydrologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"We have become a hot spot" for increased, extreme storms, he said. Extreme rainfall has increased in the Northeast more than any other part of the U.S.
The changing climate will also bring "wildly varying" snowfalls, with some seasons bringing little snow, and other years producing massive sustained dumps, Vallee warned.
More rain is falling on average and flooding is only getting worse because due to less periods of drought compared to past years, the ground is not getting a chance to dry, he added. "We have had a massive flip from being dryer to being much wetter since the late 1970s," he said.

The colorful, eye-catching pieces of art was something I knew my boys would enjoy, as well as giving us a chance to engage in conversation about different kinds of art and art expression.
Here are some tips to make the most of your visit to The Broad:
1) Plan Ahead
Although The Broad has free admission, a visit during peak times of the year can find you waiting in a line to get into the museum. We didn't plan well and waited about an hour in line. Advanced ticketing can be done online. Reserve your tickets at least a 90 days in advanced to get your desired day and time to visit.
|Jelo killing time while we waited to enter. We waited about 45 minutes.
The curb right in front of The Broad has at least half a dozen food trucks to satisfy your hunger. There is a nice grassy area adjacent to the museum with places to sit and enjoy your lunch.
|A row of food trucks right outside The Broad
During our visit, we had hopes to see Yayoi Kusama's Infinity Mirrored Room but we didn't reserve our tickets in time to do so and the stand-by tickets were too late into the afternoon for our day trip to LA. Be advised, advanced ticketing for entry to the museum is separate from the tickets for entry into special exhibits. Tickets for entry to the special exhibits can be done online or stand-by tickets are available first-come, first-served each day at the museum.
4) Bring your smartphone and headphones
There are audio tours for adults and kids that you can access from your smartphone. I saw a few kids with their headphones on listening as they were intently enjoying the art.We didn't plan well and didn't have our headphones ready.
5) Visiting with kids? Pay attention to the "explicit" signs on the wall.
There are a few graphic pieces of art that portray violence or exhibit sexual content. I am pretty open with my kids when it comes to topics like this but once we entered the "explicit" areas, I knew my kids were going to have questions to the images they saw that I wasn't ready to answer. I would recommend going into the "explicit" exhibits first to decide whether on not it's OK for your kids to view.
We had lots of great conversation in the car on the way home about the pieces of art we saw.
Here are some questions to guide the conversation:1) What was your favorite piece of art? What about it did you like?
2) Any of the art remind you of something you have experienced or seen before?
3) Which of the art did you not like? Why?
4) Why do you think the artist used paint/photos/cutouts/glass? Would you add anything?
5) Why do you think the artist created that piece of art?

9-Year-Old Awakens Mom Demanding She Look Outside. Mom's Jaw Drops At Sight Behind Husband
by LifeAspire Staff 6/6/2017
What kid hasn't looked at their beloved dad at some point in their childhood with a complete sense of aw and admiration! For one 9-year old in Alberta, Canada, she has some solid back-up to the claim that her dad has no fear.
Cecilia and Theunis Wessels live in Three Hills, Alberta, with their 9-year old daughter. Their house backs up to a fenced-in yard which one can only assume had been neglected for longer than either Cecilia or Theunis would have liked.
That is, until one of them decided to do something about it!
Cecilia was woken up from her nap on a recent afternoon by her daughter who seemed terribly concerned. Before she had gone down for her nap, Cecilia knew that her husband was determined to check-off mowing grass from his to-do list that day, but what she saw when she was awoken mid-nap blew her mind away.
Apparently, her daughter had noticed what looked like a twister or a tornado lurking in the background as Theunis continued mowing the yard and refused to come inside. Even to a 9-year old the situation looked a bit precarious which is why she had decided to wake up Cecilia.
Cecilia who couldn't help taking a picture of the situation, posted it on her Facebook page to share with her parents in South Africa, with a humorous caption that said:
"My beast mowing the lawn with a breeze in his hair."
Needless to say, it didn't take long for the picture to go viral. It truly looks like something someone created digitally to get a few laughs. But as confirmed by the weather folks, it indeed was a real tornado which was indeed ignored by Theunis while on his mission to complete his yard work!
The story is perhaps a little scary and funny at the same time, and so, it's no wonder this has garnered so much attention.The most common reaction to Cecilia's post was of course the question as to why her husband was still out there mowing the lawn in this weather and why she wasn't freaking out about it.
Apparently, tornados are pretty rare for the Three Hills area in Alberta, and so it was hard to turn your back on this anomaly. She added that:
"Our whole street, everyone was on their back patios taking pictures."
Maybe that can bring some peace for those on edge, wondering why anyone would be mesmerized by something that has the power to destroy entire towns and take lives.
In speaking with the man himself, this is what Theunis had to say about the whole deal:
"It looks much closer if you look in the photo, but it was really far away. Well, not really far, far away, but it was far away from us. I was keeping an eye on it."
Most of us are used to seeing the pictures of devastation left behind by a tornado. Heck, many of us have even lived to tell the scary tale. This time however, it looks like Theunis was correct in assuming that mother nature was not really interested in creating any trouble.
We doubt though that he will ever live down the title of being the man who mowed his yard with a tornado behind him! After all, we doubt there are others who are jumping to grab that title anytime soon.

I found myself getting very frustrated recently about all of the anti-gay propaganda coming from homophobic, anti-civil rights groups like the National Organization for Marriage.
But then I realized that it's actually a good sign these guys are pissed off.
If they aren't angry then we really aren't doing our job.
And the recent influx of angry, anti-gay propaganda seems to indicate we're winning…
DC just voted to recognize same-sex marriages performed in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont and Iowa – the only four states that currently allow same-sex couples to get married.
And it looks like Maine will soon be number five on that list.
Yes, I have days when I really wish everyone could just get along.
But right now I'm just having fun watching creepy social conservatives squirm uncomfortably as they realize the world is not the place their simpleton parents described to them during home school bible class.
UPDATE: Maine's Governor just signed the bill making Maine the 5th state to allow same-sex marriage.

An exceptionally preserved dinosaur fossil has officially been identified as a new species of dinosaur. Researchers found that even with its armor-like exterior, it may have also used camouflage as a means of evading predators.
Well-Preserved Fossil
Perhaps one of the most stunning finds in recent paleontology is the accidental discovery of exquisitely preserved fossils of an armored dinosaur in an oil sands mine in Alberta, Canada in 2011.
After more than 7,000 hours of hard work at the Royal Tyrrell Museum, the fossil has been identified as a new species of dinosaur now named Borealopelta markmitchelli after Mark Mitchell, the man who painstakingly put in the hours to free the fossil from the surrounding stone.
Apart from its striking features, researchers now find that even with its full armor-like exterior, the Borealopelta markmitchelli may also have used camouflage to evade large predators.
Camouflage In A Megaherbivore
Yes, despite its intimidating structure, this nodosaurid ankylosaur was actually a herbivore that's much larger than many modern terrestrial mammals at 18 feet (5.5 meters) and 2,800 pounds (1,300 kilograms).
In a new study published in the journal Current Biology, researchers found potential hints of the dinosaur's coloration. Pheomelanin found on most of the dinosaur's body and a lack of it on its underbelly suggests that B. markmitchelli may have had a reddish-brown back with a lighter underbelly.
While many animals have this two-tone coloration to regulate body temperature, it's also possible that the coloration is used as a form of camouflage called countershading where the two-toned coloration makes them less visible to predators.
What's surprising about this find is the fact that such a large, armored animal still had to resort to camouflage to avoid predators, suggesting a serious pressure for the B. markmitchelli to avoid the meat-eating predators of the Cretaceous period.
"Strong predation on a massive, heavily-armored dinosaur illustrates just how dangerous the dinosaur predators of the Cretaceous must have been," said Caleb Brown of the Royal Tyrrell Museum, lead author of the study.
Not So Colorful?
Despite this amazing find, other scientists question whether the pigments that suggest the two-tone coloration were indeed a part of the dinosaur's chemistry or if it is simply the remains of bacterial film that grew to cover the remains of the dead dinosaur.
According to Alison Moyer of Drexel University, there are still issues regarding the conclusion about predator-prey relationships with regard to this find. In fact, previous studies have evidently suggested that the chemicals found on the fossil are naturally occurring components of marine sediments.
"There are endless possibilities that aren't considered that would be more parsimonious than jumping to this countershading," said Moyer.
Despite the debate, there is no denying that this fossil find is truly an exceptional one. Fortunately, the fossils are stored in a museum where they can be accessed for future research.

If you're like most of us, your colon health isn't exactly top of mind. Colon cancer, however, is one of the most common cancers in men and women. Dr. Sherman Chamberlain, a gastroenterologist with the Augusta University Digestive Health Center, offers these 10 easy habits to keep your colon healthy:
- Boost calcium. Get it from almonds, low-fat milk, dark-green veggies, cottage cheese and yogurt. Men should limit calcium to 1,500 mg a day, as too much may increase the risk of prostate cancer.
- Seek a bit of sun. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. It comes mainly from sunlight (10 minutes a day is all you need) but can also be found in salmon, mackerel, fortified milk and eggs.
- Eat more fruits and veggies. They're good sources of fiber, which adds bulk to the waste that moves through your intestines.
- "B" smart. Folic acid, an essential B vitamin, may reduce your risk. Lentils, collard greens, chickpeas, asparagus, broccoli, peas, papaya and oranges are good sources.
- Butt out. Smoking can cause colorectal cancer, so if you smoke, quit.
- Get slim. If you're overweight, ask your health care provider about a weight-loss plan that will work for you.
- Cut back on beef. Eating too much red or processed meat has been linked to an increased risk, so choose chicken instead.
- Ease up on alcohol. Drinking too much (more than one drink a day for women; two for men) can cause colon problems, so if you drink, do so in moderation.
- Stay active. Aim for 30 minutes of physical activity at least five days a week to help reduce your risk.
- Get screened. The American Cancer Society also recommends that all men and women get screened for colon cancer starting at age 50.
Introducing the Augusta University Digestive Health Center
We're proud to announce our new state-of-the-art, 43,000-square-foot center designed to meet the unique needs of digestive health patients and their families. Call 706-446-4887 for an appointment, or, for videos of our new space and more information, visit augustahealth.org/digestivehealth.

New Horizons Team Celebrates 30th Anniversary of Charon's Discovery
This week the New Horizons mission team celebrates the 30th anniversary of the discovery of Pluto's largest and first moon, Charon, by U.S. Naval Observatory astronomers James Christy and Robert Harrington.
Charon, whose discovery was officially announced on July 7, 1978, orbits nearly 11,390 miles (about 18,220 kilometers) from Pluto's surface and has a diameter of about 750 miles (1,210 kilometers). At half the diameter of Pluto, Charon is the largest moon relative to its planet in our solar system.
The Pluto family grew just three years ago, when Stern and New Horizons Project Scientist Hal Weaver led a team that discovered two additional, much smaller moons, later named Nix and Hydra.
New Horizons is en route to fly by and reconnoiter the Pluto system seven years from now, in July 2015, turning these moons and their parent planet from points of light into well-mapped worlds.Read more about Charon's discovery in our Science section.

Open Mouth, Insert FLU
This may come as a shocker to most of you, but I cannot speak to men.
I actually don't know why that would be surprising to you.
I am a weirdo. Completely.
A weirdo who cannot talk to men. I'm sure there are many of us - let's start a club?!
In all reality, talking to those of the opposite sex has never been a strong suit of mine. Unless there is alcohol involved, but even then the conversation quickly turns to stories of how my mother used to sell dildos or how I ate a dandelion one time and threw up and never told anyone.
|You can hardly tell us apart!
I am like the female version of Rajesh Koothrappali. Only he is smarter than me. Also, he is a fictional character. You get the idea.
Sometimes I do try to talk to men.
One time it was successful and we fell in love - although looking back now there probably was alcohol at some point and I'm sure he did most of the talking.
Usually I just end up saying stupid things.
It really doesn't work out for me.
The other day at work, a man confessed to me that he had Diabetes.
Diabetes is an awful disease, I know this.
I know people who suffer from this disease and have a really hard time with it.
Yet, for some strange reason, the first thing out of my mouth upon his confession was...
"That must be fun"
That. Must. Be. Fun.
Sometimes I don't even realize that I am saying something completely inappropriate.
Like the other day when the coffee man came to repair the coffee machine in our office.
The machine seemed to be having a hard time producing coffee from the spout.
Surely as a result of a coffee gunk build up (my own technical terms).
I happened to come in in to the kitchen just in time to see the test run of the repaired machine.
Of course I had to comment, as if my opinion of the coffee flow even mattered.
"Looks like it doesn't have a prostate problem anymore!" I commented.
I then walked out of the kitchen leaving a mortified co-worker and a coffee repair man who didn't even laugh at my funny joke.
I'm not even really sure what a prostate is! We may have touched on it in my anatomy training, but most of the relevant information I know about prostates comes from Tom Hanks in The Green Mile. Looking back now, I'm not even sure it was his prostate in that movie. Just to make this completely uncomfortable, check out this montage of Tom Hanks peeing I found on YouTube!
Please tell me I am not the only person (who is not a fictional character) who has trouble having a completely normal conversation with the opposite sex?
Hello..this is my blog. I bought this fancy theme and I don't know what to write here just yet. Maybe one day remind me I have to write something inspiring here?
