Graduates VS Apprentices. What are businesses really looking for?
On the one hand, those with the potential for leadership. The idealists fit for the long run, with the mindset to move up through the ranks from day one. On the other hand, the pragmatic. The work-ready with practical skills and tailored niche knowledge, who can impact their team's productivity right from the start.
Apprenticeships have been for far too long overshadowed by university degrees, and affected by a distorted perception in the UK. With the job market being more competitive than ever, employers became hesitant to hire and train young people under the wrong assumptions. However, ideas that apprenticeships involve too much effort; that they serve few industries; or that they have a lower status than college-based learning, is becoming obsolete.
Today, not only is there a range of training offers for over 170 industries, there is also an increasing awareness that businesses should accommodate both graduates and apprentices. So much so, that apprenticeships have reached record highs during the 2015 academic year. In England alone, organisations have welcomed 871,800 young learners, finding the skills they need for the growth they seek.
The rise of a new perception
Employers begin to understand that, in having to invest time training entry-level candidates, it turns out to be more productive to get hands-on staff; easily moldable into the organisations' ways; without graduate salary demands for the duration of their training. Top brands such as BMW, Unilever, Virgin and BBC are among the businesses that better understand this reality. BAE Systems, one of the world's leading providers of technology-led defense solutions, recruits over 400 apprentices each year in the UK; an example to show that wrong assumptions don't necessarily correspond to the truth.
Yes, it is true that the term 'apprenticeship' has been misused to promote low-quality courses, getting young unemployed people into low-skilled, low-paid jobs with few progression opportunities. That is why the government is seeking to shield the term, in the same way that the title 'degree' is protected by legislation – to ensure that these comply with high standards and gain the same respect as higher education. And that is also why successful businesses choose legitimate providers who can prepare young professionals to integrate organisations' culture and values. Giving them a sense of purpose, beyond functionality. Employers can (and should) design high-quality programmes in collaboration with the right partners, to recruit new talent and upskill existing employees.
Companies preparing to embrace apprenticeships and traineeships as they do graduate programmes, will not only acquire relevant skills to enhance their productivity, they will actively contribute to the socio-economic evolution in the UK. For a little perspective, half of young Germans choose apprenticeships over universities, securing long-term employment and efficiently benefiting their country. And apparently, their economy isn't looking so bad: it is the strongest in Europe, with the lowest youth unemployment rates, and the fourth-largest economy by nominal GDP in the world. Food for thought.

Philosophy can be used to improve teaching and learning, for the lasting benefit of individuals and communities.
Philosophy for Children aims to encourage children (or adults) to think critically, caringly, creatively and collaboratively. It helps teachers to build a 'community of enquiry' where participants create and enquire into their own questions, and 'learn how to learn' in the process.
DECSY has been using P4C within global learning since our project in 2005 when we discovered that P4C was an ideal approach for discussing controversial global issues and for developing the skills and attitudes essential for global citizenship.
Since that project we have incorporated P4C into many of our other projects including Building Communities Through Dialogue, Geography and the Global Dimension, Critical Objects (Global Collections).
We have delivered training sessions to over 1400 ITE students, teachers and other educators. Click on the links to the left to find out more.

FNB JoburgArtFair 2015
Press Release
A self-described 'spiritual garbage man', Moffat Takadiwa reconfigures found consumer waste gleaned from the streets and dumps of Harare into almost magical compositions that convey the aura of a totemic or ritualised object. His practice over the past several years has evolved to the elevation of found objects into sculptural forms that engage with issues of cultural identity, spirituality, social practice and the environment. His work speaks potently to the cultural dominance illustrated by the consumption of foreign products in Zimbabwe and across Africa.
Takadiwa is perhaps one of the most widely geographically exhibited and collected of the 'born free' (post independence) generation of Zimbabwean artists. Having exhibited in all the major institutions in Zimbabwe, including the National Gallery of Zimbabwe in Harare and Bulawayo, in the past several yearshe has steadily garnered international attention, with exhibitions in Bangkok, Paris, Amsterdam, NewYork, London, Berlin and Johannesburg. Takadiwa was born in Karoi, Zimbabwe in 1983 and lives and works in Harare, Zimbabwe. He trained at Harare Polytechnic Fine Arts Department and has been practicing professionally since 2006.

How do I prepare financially for a new baby?
Are you planning a baby this year? Or do you already have one on the way? Exciting times then. You may have lots on your mind already, but it's also important to think about how your family's finances may change, as well as your future family.
Your income and outgoings will change
Most employed parents can take maternity leave contractually: the government does support Mums taking time to look after their children, Dads too now. After the first six weeks of maternity leave though, the amount of pay you receive from the government is capped at £138.18. With that in mind, it makes sense to get your finances in order as soon as you can.
Getting your debts paid off should be a priority. The fewer bills you have while on a reduced income, the better. It's also a good idea to save if you can. Unexpected bills can arrive at any time (usually the worst time), and having something to fall back on could be a lifesaver.
But when it comes to buying things for your new baby – take a deep breath. This child will be amazing, and so precious to you, but do you really need 'bling' in baby's bedroom? New mums will have plenty advice, among which will be the things they wish they hadn't bought. Stick to the essentials – and do stock up on nappies. If there's anything else you desperately need you can buy it once the baby is here. Check out our top 5 essentials for your new baby.
Find out what you're entitled to
In the UK, a new parent can claim child benefit once the baby is born, but did you know you can also claim for free prescriptions and dental treatment while you're pregnant? And for 12 months after your child is born, too? You may also be able to claim some income-related benefits, depending on your working circumstances and how long you've been employed.
If you're self employed you might think paid leave is a luxury you're not entitled to. But at the moment, you can claim Maternity Allowance for up to 39 weeks, which works in the same way as Statutory Maternity Pay. From April 2015 the rules around maternity and paternity leave are changing, making it more flexible and giving Dads a chance to spend more time with their new baby. More details can be found at the government's Money Advice Service.
Plan for your baby's financial future
Now you're going to be a family not just a couple, it's time to think about the future. Many people leave writing a will until it's too late. A Solicitor will charge around £200-£400 a couple for a straightforward will, a will writing service could charge from around £75 each. A DIY will kit could be a lot cheaper, but you might find it doesn't do the job properly. Best to be on the safe side.
Do look into life insurance. It doesn't have to cost a fortune. No one likes to think about something awful happening, but you'd want your family to be looked after if it did. Life insurance could pay a lump to help your partner with living costs and your child's future needs.
How much money would you need?
Everyone's ideas about how much money's needed are different: we discovered some detailed costs of raising young children, with our research at the end of 2014. Parents are spending an average of £6,990 a year on their under-fives (which puts the importance of having life insurance in perspective).

You must have just moved into your new house and planning to go furniture shopping to fill up your house with the perfect furniture. Here are a few tips you should consider when buying furniture.
- Measure your space
The first step in purchasing furniture like choosing dining room chairs is measuring your space. Most people do the mistake of taking an 'eye' measurement but unfortunately, the chances of that being wrong is high since though in the store it may look small, at your home it will be too big. The last thing you need is to buy oversized furniture and cramp up your home. Hence, take a correct measurement before going shopping. Also, analyze what you exactly need. Make a list of all the items and be prepared. Keep in mind to purchase easy-to-handle furniture rather than big and expensive ones. See if you can replace any item by a cheaper one. For example, rather than buying a huge lampshade, you can buy a floor lamp. These are much more convenient and cheap.
- Determine your style and colour scheme
Different people have different tastes. Some may go for a more classic look while some may go for a modern look. Some may go for light colours while some may go for bright and vibrant colours. This is totally up to you to decide but keep this in mind when choosing your furniture.
- Consider your lifestyle
You may love a light cream coloured velvet couch, however if you have kids and pets, you might want to reconsider it. Always be aware of the environment you live in and also the environment that the furniture will be used in, especially if you are buying furniture for a common area such as the living room.
- Pay attention to quality
Do not always go for cheap furniture. The analysis of furniture will greatly come into play since here, you should choose high quality furniture for frequently used items and less quality items for rarely used items. Look into every nook and cranny of bigger furniture since these are your bigger investments.
- Consider prices
A common mistake that most people do is buying all furniture at once. Do not do this since sometimes, prices of them can go down during the year. So, spread your purchases among a few months so that you can get the best deals. Also, be careful when getting into '0% interest' purchases. Do take your time to compare prices and choose the best and most appropriate. Try to cut down on costs by purchasing low cost items such as a floor lamp, stools, side tables etc. rather than buying huge lampshades, couches etc.
Consider the above factors and it will be very easy to make all the right choices when purchasing furniture next time.

The moon has given the sun an eye
at last, with which to see through us.
It is the eye of a tiger, a lynx, a lion
a dragon. It sees our sins, our lust.
How rarely it has the chance to see
what's been wreaked on earth by we
who've deforested green, salted the earth,
eroded hillsides, filled rivers with dirt,
diverted or dammed god's rivers and streams,
built cities of wealthy nightmarish dreams –
overcrowded, stressed and under-nourished.
The sun sees we've ruined what flourished.
People are losing their hope and their faith
replaced for some with a longing for death.
The sun sees how climates we've changed;
while we wring our hands like beings deranged..

Tony Adams is out of Arsenal's Champions League trip to face Panathinaikos in Greece after manager Arsene Wenger's gamble to recall him for the Premiership clash with Bolton on Saturday backfired.
Skipper Adams has not been named in the Arsenal party which flies out to Athens tomorrow for Wednesday night's Group C clash with the Greek side who have won both their opening two matches.
It is a blow for Wenger, who passed Adams fit to play on Saturday after three matches out with a foot injury.
The former England defender looked well off the pace when Bolton's substitute Michael Ricketts scored the late goal that earned his side a surprise point and kept them top of the Premiership until Leeds United's win over Derby yesterday.
Wenger reported after the match that Adams, 34, was suffering with cramp, but it is foot and groin problems which have ruled him out against Panathinaikos.
Arsenal are already without new centre back Sol Campbell, the former Tottenham star who has a hamstring injury and is likely to miss England's World Cup qualifier against Greece a week on Saturday.
Gilles Grimandi, who deputised against Bolton, is also out this week after damaging a calf muscle, but Martin Keown is available again after a one-match suspension and looks like forming yet another new central defensive partnership - this time with 22-year-old Matthew Upson, who substituted impressively for Grimandi on Saturday.
Upson has not started a Premiership match since December 1999 when he snapped a cruciate knee ligament against Leicester City.
But a year earlier he played in a Champions League victory for Arsenal - against Panathinaikos.
The 3-1 result was only academic as Arsenal had already failed to qualify for the second round group stage of the competition.

It's the sound of flying hogs.
A squadron of A-10C Warthogs, beloved by troops in the field for their ability to swoop low and slow and tear apart enemy forces with its iconic 30mm auto-cannon, will conduct a two-week training exercise at MacDill starting Friday.
The 163rd Fighter Squadron, 122nd Fighter Wing and the Indiana Air National Guard will all take part in the exercise, which runs through Feb. 2 and will result in increased noise, MacDill officials said.
Air Force spokesman Christopher Myers would not say how many aircraft will be coming to MacDill, but he did say that about 100 crew members will be there.
The jets will be training to provide close air support to troops on the ground as well as combat rescue missions, Myers said.
The activity will take place over MacDill airspace, said Myers, adding that folks in the area might hear the famous loud "brrrrrt" sound of the Warthogs' guns.
"We are excited to have guys down here," Myers said. "It helps out considering the cold weather we have."

PRIME Minister Tony Blair is set to announce measures aimed at tackling the wave of gun crime sweeping British cities.
A man was shot dead in London yesterday and three others were wounded in shootings in Manchester as armed gangs continued to show their contempt for the law.
The attacks came after a spate of fatal shootings in south London in less than a fortnight, including the deaths of three teenage boys.
Mr Blair has ordered a review of gun laws to help police deal with Britain's inner-city gang culture.
He is considering a number of proposals put forward by the Home Office and the Metropolitan Police as part of a review he commissioned several weeks ago.
These include lowering the age at which the mandatory five-year sentence for carrying a gun can be imposed from 21 to 18.
Police would also be given new powers, similar to those of the new Serious Organised Crime Agency, to mount surveillance of the homes of people suspected of possessing and using firearms.
Mr Blair earlier described the shooting of the three teenagers in south London as "horrific, shocking and tragic beyond belief".
As teams of armed police patrolled south London overnight on Friday a man was murdered in the east of the capital.
Gunmen shot a 28-year-old east London man in his car in Hackney before blasting him again as he tried to escape.
A witness reported seeing three black men walking "confidently" away from their victim as he lay dying in Homerton High Street.
He was rushed to Homerton Hospital by ambulance but was pronounced dead just before 6am yesterday.
Gabriel Ajayi, 50, whose third-floor flat overlooks the scene, was woken by three gunshots shortly before 5.30am.
He said: "I looked out my window and saw a man lying on the ground on the road and I saw three guys running away.
"All of a sudden they came back and shot him twice again at close range."
The murder is being investigated by detectives from Operation Trident, the Met's black-on-black gun crime investigation unit.
Police said no arrests had been made and the latest shooting was not being linked to the earlier south London murders.
In Moss Side, Manchester, an 18-year-old man was shot in the back while standing with friends outside the Millennium Powerhouse Youth Club in Raby Street.
His attackers drove past the group at around 9pm on Friday night before opening fire and hitting the victim once in the back.
The teenager still has a bullet lodged in his sternum, although his injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Hours later, two men were shot as they sat in their car waiting at traffic lights a mile away in Longsight.
The pair, aged 19 and 27, suffered gunshot wounds to the arm and back as they sat in a Nissan Primera at the junction of Stockport Road and Dickenson Road in Longsight.
Both men were taken to hospital but their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
Police do not believe the two gun attacks in Manchester are related.
The shooting of the 18-year-old has grim echoes of the murder of 15-year-old Jessie James, who was shot dead only yards from the scene of Friday night's attack.
Armed police officers spent Friday night patrolling south London's streets, stopping suspicious vehicles and mounting high profile patrols to reassure the public following the earlier shootings.
Scotland Yard's Operation Neon focused on the south London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark.
Officers were on the lookout for known members of notorious South London gangs such as the Peckham Boys as well as their friends and associates.
Responding to reports the Prime Minister will announce new measures and legislation to tackle gun violence, Leader of the Liberal Democrats Menzies Campbell said:
"More legislation is not going to stop gun violence and gang culture. Rather than new laws we need more police and more effective policing.
"All young people should feel that they have a stake in society. Effective schooling, more engaged youth services and better community support are also needed to help disadvantaged young people escape the cycle of deprivation and gang culture.
"There are no quick fixes."
Conservative shadow spokesman for police reform Nick Herbert echoed his comments. He said: "It's not just tougher laws that are needed but also strong enforcement, with police on our streets, and a new focus, on the drivers of gang crime, most of all family breakdown.
"Short term emergency Government announcements are no substitute for long term patient action to rebuild a broken society."

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) refuses, like Mitt Romney, to support either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump in the upcoming general election. However, in a statement released on Friday, he urges all Republicans and Independents to vote.
Graham's statement released Friday reads:
It's hard to believe that in a nation of more than 300 million Americans Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be our choices for President.
As for me, I absolutely will not support Hillary Clinton for President. She represents the third term of Barack Obama, and our nation cannot afford to continue those failed policies at home or abroad.
I also cannot in good conscience support Donald Trump because I do not believe he is a reliable Republican conservative nor has he displayed the judgment and temperament to serve as Commander in Chief.
After the election, regardless of who wins the presidency I will do everything I can to help our new President deal with the many challenges facing our nation. The next President will inherit a mess and will need all the help they can get.
I will enthusiastically support Republicans for other offices in South Carolina and throughout the country. I will focus my time, energy and effort on raising resources and advocating for our Republican majorities in the House and Senate. It is imperative that we have strong, reliable conservatives acting as a check and balance against excesses in government. I strongly encourage Republicans and Independents to vote even if you are disappointed in your choice for President.
On Thursday night at a dinner, Romney announced he also won't support likely Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Teacher of foreign languages Yuri Ilchenko, accused of extremism by FSB in Sevastopol, escaped from house arrest.
This was told by the First Deputy Minister of Information Policy of Ukraine Emine Dzhepparova on August 16.
Ilchenko was arrested on July 2, 2015 after publishing a series of posts, condemning the annexation of the Crimean peninsula by Russia, which took place in March 2014, and after his refusal to acquire Russian citizenship.
37-year-old teacher was charged with articles 280 and 282 of the Criminal Code ("Public calls for extremist activity" and "Incitement of ethnic hatred or enmity").
Yuri spent 11 months in jail, and in June 2016 he was transferred to house arrest in Sevastopol. Ilchenko was planning to give a press conference in Kiev on August 17, and explain the circumstances of his escape, and the Russian persecution of Ukrainian citizens in Crimea.

Maximum usage hours can vary between four and eight; depending on the model and the brand of the machine.
Nevertheless, emergency situations can happen any time and for that, you need to have a contract with a reliable forklift repairs and servicing company.

text: Sustaining members are critical to the Blue Streak Scholarship Fund's annual commitment to the Jubilee Schools of Memphis. Many of our volunteers cannot commit to pledging or raising $4,000 for a scholarship, but want to be involved in as many events and activities that help the Jubilee Schools as possible. Our "sustaining members" give $120 per year to be a "member" of the Blue Streak Scholarship Fund. Our goal is to increase the number of individuals or families that commit to an annual sustaining membership to 700 by the end of 2015. This would insure that we have a base of $84,000 – or 21 scholarships – coming in each year before we have any of our fund raising events. Sustaining members will be included in all communications by the Blue Streak Scholarship Fund and invited to all events. Please help us reach this goal by filling out a pledge form below or going online to complete your membership.

Want To Reduce Stress At Work? Try Commuting By Bike/
If you're stressed when you start the day at work, part of the problem might be how you're getting to the office. Commuters who bike or walk are 40% less likely to be tense in the hour after arriving than those who drive or take public transit. And if you're tense the first hour, the rest of the day is probably not going to get better.
"People normally think of stress as something that happens at work, and certainly it does, but commutes are interesting because it's a place where you're kind of in charge of your environment—you're usually on your own, in control, and you can set the tone of your day," says Neema Moraveji, co-founder of Spire, a wearable device that measures stress, and head of Stanford University's Calming Technology Lab. "We wanted to see what kind of state people put themselves in."
The company's data, collected through 1,000 commuters wearing the Spire gadget, backs up earlier research. A massive, 18-year study published in the U.K. last year found that commuters who walked and biked were happier, slept better, and were better able to deal with their problems than people who drove.
An active commute seems to be equally helpful when people are headed home; the Spire data showed that people are even more stressed out in the early evening hours. It's worse for men, who are 50% more tense than women after getting home from work.
If you're stuck taking the subway or bus—or driving—Moraveji makes a pitch for his device, which can vibrate to remind you to take a deep breath. "Your breathing patterns mirror your state of mind," he says. "So when you're stressed, it changes the way you breathe. But when you're tracking breathing, you can also change your breathing. It's a two-way process."
Even behind the wheel, it's possible to focus on your breath and still safely navigate the road. "One of the things we showed is that people can do consciously intense tasks, like programming or math, and sustain that cognitive performance and still regulate their breathing," Moraveji says. "And it doesn't degrade their performance, meaning it's not distracting. ... You can do this while driving."
Of course, for anyone who has the option, there are other reasons to choose biking or walking to work over driving—like the fact that bike commuting might actually be a better way to lose weight than going to the gym.

How does this program work? We are not in Toronto.
Coach: In Toronto, London & Niagara Falls areas.. we visit the family to teach and motivate, then follow up by phone and video lessons for the month or two it takes to get to dry at night. In other areas we teach by Skype and webinars. Currently we have clients in BC and Nova Scotia, Abu Dhabi, Australia, Arizona, Columbia. ..
We've tried a bed wetting alarm before, and it didn't wake our daughter up at all. How is this different?
Bed wetting alarms are an important part of any bed wetting program, but they don't work in most cases because they are a bad design or have inadequate instructions. This is how they should be used: How to choose and Use a bed wetting alarm.
How does your coaching work?
Coach Peter: I visit your home for about 90 minutes, to determine the causes and begin training in the initial remedies. After that you would have access to our training and motivation videos and resource links. Then I call every day for a week or two, and once or twice a week to guide the parents through the 4 Steps to Dry.
Are you a doctor?
No, this isn't a medical problem, and doctors are the first to admit that there's not much they can do to fix it with medication or surgery. I learned this originally from the 'grandaddy' of enuresis consultants who himself learned the techniques from the Gray Nuns boarding school method way back in the 1960's. Then I went on to take the courses that pediatric nurses learn at Chicago Memorial Children's Hospital. It isn't rocket science, it's just a series of parenting techniques to teach a child to sleep more comfortably, to calm a nervous bladder, and get over that worst misconception of all: restricting water.
Can we do this on our own?
Yes, with one of the methods outlined below. But if you've already tried and failed, you might want help to overcome your child's lack of confidence in the solution. My coaching comes with a money-back guarantee, and it pays for itself in a few months. The important part of my job is to fix the causes one by one, and motivate the child and the parents to progress from step to step. You know how a teacher can help (do kids ever listen to parents?). I had one Mom who taught guitar and she had to hire another guitar teacher for her kids! So many times I've called a parent who got off track, or a child who wanted to give up because he didn't understand the process; the most effective part of the DryKids method is communication and support.
What is the cost? What if we are not in your area?
- At-home or online, with supplies + personal training + frequent follow-up: $499
- In-home coaching is the best route. Clients say, "worth ten times the price!"
- Coaching by long distance is effective with phone + email + shared screens or Skpe
Do we still use pull-ups?
No. You would never need pull-ups again from the very first night, and the sheets won't get wet.
What ages do you work with?
Most of the kids I see are in the age 7 to 11 range, with occasional teenagers and adults. The oldest was a 35-year-old nurse who wet the bed; the quickest to dry was a 22-year-old who got dry for good the night I talked to her. Children under age 6 don't need my help, but they do need my ebook to end it quickly and easily.
How soon can we start?
You can get started the same day you contact us, with the first video lesson which involves some small changes in diet and bed time routine for the first week's routine. Then we will set the time for the first training session. I'll ask a lot of questions to eliminate medical issues, may refer you back to your doctor, or suggest a simpler remedy if it's best for your child.
Why don't you help children under age 6?
Before the age of understanding and motivation, children are best helped with simpler remedies that you'll find in our ebook. Download it here for readers, computers, or printout.

The BRAVEN Press Recap covers the latest reviews of Braven Bluetooth Speakers from the industry's top tech critics. This week's roundup includes the glamorous BRAVEN Lux Bluetooth Speaker, the ultra-rugged BRV-BANK, and more. Get all the news below.
BRAVEN Lux featured on Chip Chick
"But, let's not miss the forest for the trees—LUX is here to look fabulous. It comes in a metallic case with a perforated fan design, and is available in three colors—purple, white and gold. They look a little more upscale than your average portable Bluetooth speaker, but fortunately, the price doesn't reflect that."
BRAVEN Lux featured in, "This Week In Accessories" | App Advice
"A fashionable Bluetooth speaker, the limited-edition Lux features a detailed grill that definitely stands out from the pack. Along with being water resistant, the built-in battery can play music for up to 12 hours before needing to be recharged. It also doubles as an external battery pack that can charge your other electronic devices via the USB port. A microphone also allows music lovers to take conference calls."
BRAVEN Lux featured on Sound Guys
"Braven has a number of wireless speakers in all shapes, sizes, colors, and styles. They have an Outdoor Series for their more rugged options, but the newest speaker addition will be added to their Design Series. The Braven Lux is both a portable Bluetooth speaker and a fashion accessory. Roughly the size of your palm, the Lux has a grill that comes in three different colors and a sophisticated, eye-catching design on the front. The control buttons are placed on one side of the device in an aesthetically minimal grid while all of the ports, including auxiliary and USB out, are located on the other."
BRAVEN Lux featured on Technology Tell
"The LUX also comes with a redesigned grill pattern that's meant to appeal to one's sense of style and/or decor. Or for anyone who wants something new and completely different. Feminine or not, that shiny metallic purple is definitely up my alley."
BRAVEN BRV-BANK featured on Beatweek
"The BRV-BANK is clearly well thought out and designed. The question becomes whether its extra features are worth its price tag. The included 6000 mAh is a lot of battery power, enough to fully recharge an iPhone 6 three or four times over. But $129 is also a lot of money; you'd typically pay $70 to $100 for a 6000 mAh battery which doesn't come with the water resistance or the app based features. So while it's only suitable for those who plan to take advantage of those features, it does a strong job of serving that market. Rating: four stars out of five."
BRAVEN 710 featured on Beatweek
"This product is highly recommendable. Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5."
BRAVEN BRV-BANK and BRAVEN 855s featured in "Braven Rugged… An Option For Music Festival Season" |Your EDM
"It's a cool, handy, well-made gadget with a great look and some awesome add-ons… A frequenter of the outdoors would like something like this. If you can afford the price tag, you are going to be purchasing a quality product."
"Like the BRV-Bank, The 855s portable speaker is well-built, sturdy, weather-resistant and aesthetically pleasing…"

Across the Æther
Social media is undeniably the largest and most immediately accessible branch of the Magic community. Twitter, Facebook, Twitch, Reddit, Tumblr, and nearly every other buzz word of the 21st century social media landscape offers instant access to a global network of Magic: the Gathering fans. Whether you're looking to grow as a player or discuss the storyline while reviewing previews of the next set, you're going to find yourself surrounded by a sea of Planeswalkers.
For this episode, I want to hear about your experiences with the online community, specifically within the context of how it differs from your interactions with your local playgroups and tournament scenes. Has having quick Twitter access to the people who make the game and the ones who play it on the highest level impacted your views on the game and its players? Do you feel part of a greater community or does the scale and volume of all of the noise make you feel more isolated than ever? This is an incredibly broad topic, so feel free to submit multiple stories as I'll certainly be doing more with this topic than one episode could hope to cover.

Right, back to work. I've been sorting out my mp3s, and I'm ready to start posting some of the harder to find items. First up, Hawkwind and Samantha Fox – Gimme Shelter.
I don't think anyone would grudge me copypasting from something I wrote for wikipedia, so here you go:
In 1993 a Food Records project collected various versions of the track by the following bands and collaborations, the proceeds of which went to the Shelter charity's "Putting Our House In Order" homeless initiative. The versions were issued across various formats, and had a live version of the song by the Rolling Stones as a common lead track to ensure chart eligibility.
Gimme Shelter(Pop version – Cassette Single)
* Voice of the Beehive and Jimmy Somerville
* Heaven 17 and Hannah Jones
Gimme Shelter(Alternative version – CD Single)
* New Model Army and Tom Jones
* Cud and Sandie Shaw
* Kingmaker
Gimme Shelter(Rock Version – CD Single)
* Thunder
* Little Angels
* Hawkwind and Samantha Fox
Gimme Shelter(Dance Version – 12″ Single)
* 808 State and Robert Owens
* Pop Will Eat Itself vs Gary Clail vs Ranking Roger vs The Mighty Diamonds vs The On U Sound System
* Blue Pearl (produced and mixed by Utah Saints)

Success is not due to an accident or coincidence, but probably will not be due to make a potion of inspiration or learning of us superhuman qualities. Finally, the success is due to the construction of small habits that are in any successful person. Numerous small habits that together are very powerful and cause what becomes inevitable. We saw The habits of Successful People and, therefore, are a universal rule. Now let's see what are those habits in which we must work together to achieve our goals.
1. Organizing Yourself.
Being an organized person is synonymous with success. In fact, who is organized in their work, it is in their life. Who is organized in their home, it is in the company. People are organized in any facet of their life, and therefore usually much more efficient than the rest. Points add up to success.
2. They are resilient.
Truly successful people are able to be optimistic when everything is falling apart. Most of the business successes were born and raised in times where everything fell apart. Within resilience we would find learning to master our emotions when it comes to panic or extreme optimism.
3. They are persistent.
They learn very quickly to insist and persist. They learn not to yield to difficulties. They know that someone else can succeed where we have thrown in the towel. Endurance, perseverance, and persistence are habits that help people succeed.
4. Listen to the needs of others.
Understanding the needs of the people is to know certain problems of them that may have a solution. And that solution could give us a return. But not only they do about this issue. They really listen and take care of the other person know that they are really listening, so it leads to more honest and open relationships with others. Ultimately, success comes from the culture of relationships.
5. Do not postpone things.
Many people say they are thinking of doing "something," and they will do it next month. Procrastination is the main ingredient of failure, while the decision and action is the ingredient of success. They do not say: "I'm thinking of doing …". They tell you, "Look what I've begun to do."
6. They know when to give up.
They are persistent but not stupid. Part of the road to success is to quickly take a failure to start on something else. Not maintaining relations with others or their ego is rooted as not assuming a failure.
7. Have a sense of humor.
The truth is that rarely you get bored with a person of this kind of character. And not only for what they have to teach positively but that sense of humor and expertise that an evening with them is enjoyable and fun. Being serious at work does not mean you should be serious. Sometimes they are able to get an entirely constructive criticism with some humor for you to grasp the message but do not feel offended. A sense of humor opens many doors, while some affable closes.
8. They are not afraid to take risks.
Maybe what slows most people is the fear of the risks. But that is the natural habitat of successful people. (Very interesting article on tis subject. I suggest to read : Business | Overcoming fear of failure when you want to take)
9. But something made of controlled risk.
They like risks, but not kamikazes. They take a high risk and try to study the maximum possible consequences, always imagining the worst possible scenario. Therefore, they are not afraid to take the risk because they have already received the answers and know what would happen in the worst-case scenario. And they are willing to risk even the worst possible scenario is if things do not go in their way. They have fears like everyone else, and they know they can not get rid of that fear, and no choice but to face him and be smart in solving smartly.
10. They are respectful and polite.
As we have said on more than one occasion, you know what kind of person you have in front you only seeing a waiter. They are elegant in treatment, polite with everybody and respectful to anyone regardless of their socio-cultural position. In fact, nobody really has no reason to be rude to another person whom they do not know. That friendly behavior makes receiving the same, because you get what was in a project, and that is why they are treated well by virtually to everyone. Hard to forget once you know them.
11. They are tenacious.
You can be insistent and persistent and accomplish nothing. Toughness is a quality that have developed successful people. Maybe that's why they have achieved many things in life. When we talked about the difference between persistence and tenacity, it was the own Seth Godin which put a clear example: "Companies call you every day when you're eating or sleeping because the try to sell you something, but are persistent and insistent. "
12. Know praise.
They recognize in private and in public a good job of another person, whether it's his secretary as if an employee who has just signed an agreement. Not all people know the importance of recognizing the work of a person who is doing a good job. Yes, they do. And thus not only they earn that person greatly appreciates the accolades, but that person will continue to strive more to learn that their work is recognized and appreciated fairly.
13. They are able to change the mood of an entire company.
And they do it very easily. Simply uttering magical atmosphere changes radically phrases. Few devote time to something as simple as that and that makes a noticeable difference.
14. Say yes to almost everything when they start.
They probably have reached succeed because they said yes to any challenge, any business opportunity, to any project. They know that success sometimes consists of 14 failures and then a success. You need only succeed once while failures are reported as part of the way.
15. They know how to say NO forcefully and firmly.
Similarly, time does not say YES to meet someone if you really do want to do something. They say no to a distraction and say a bad proposition. And leave no room for negotiation. It is NOT period.
16. They are creators of luck.
Even for luck you should be on the right track for luck find you. This type of successful people, thanks to their kindness, education, be outgoing and generate great moments, inertia expand their network of contacts. People talk with them, they recommend people, and, therefore, their reputation makes them more choices and opportunities than others. That is, luck did not find them, they have made them every day.
17. Have a positive thought.
Most people think that positive thinking is a spiritual or magical thing, but the truth is that the power of positive thinking, besides being supported by logic, is a science. The study Barbara Fredrickson finished demonstrating that people with negative thought just doing self-fulfilling prophecy and end up destroying themselves while people with a positive thought used to achieve what they intended. Ultimately, you will achieve what you believe you can achieve and your courage will grant you what you want. That is, if you think you're worth much, that's your value. If you think you are worthless, that it is your value.
18. Read almost daily.
There is only one way to learn and gain knowledge and ideas of others. So they are usually voracious readers. But recourse to productive reading, not entertainment.
19. They do not lose their head.
A big mistake many people who brushed success and eventually failed – was too early to celebrate their success. The success went to their heads and thought it was time to show the world what they had achieved. Success is not reaching a goal. Sometimes it is to stay on top, and sometimes it's hard to keep it coming. Especially if you lose your head on the way. And that's where it shows whether you succeeded because you had luck or based on merit in building habits.
20. They do not waste time.
They know their time is precious, so they try not to waste it on things that are not bringing them anything, let alone with people that time commitment do not deserve. They are always busy to have an organized agenda. They always know what to do every hour of the day, because they already planned on its agenda last week.
21. Remain motivated.
Motivation is essential. When motivation fails, it's time to stop and analyze what is wrong. And they will not hesitate to change or discard what they are doing if they feel that is draining their energy and vitality without being rewarded.
22. They get up early.
That's one of their competitive advantages. For them, the day begins before the rest, and they have already been productive while the rest are still being cleared.
23. No excuses.
Everyone tends to excuse in a mistake they have committed. They assume, for he who is not able to admit a mistake, is not able to learn from that mistake, and, therefore, more likely to fail again. Rafa Nadal's uncle gave us this lesson: " When you lose against a team, not due to the sand, the wind or the racket. The other point has been better and try harder next time..."
24. Finds a purpose for life.
Most people fail only because it was impossible for them to succeed, and they knew where they wanted to go. You can not succeed if you do not know what you want to accomplish and you know what you want to fight. Every successful person only needs a goal and begin taking steps toward the goal. Find yours. Be motivated. Be inspired. Love what you do!
25. For advice.
Unfortunately, I have seen people close down for the simple fact of not having sought advice from experts in the field who had not mastered. We all have weaknesses, and why we should not try to fill them all. There are people who have dedicated their life to be the best at something. And they are there to help you to be the best at what you do. In my case, I'm good at many things, but prosecutors and law issues are not one of them, so it would be an idiot if I did not consult fiscal issues a tax advisor.

The Chandler Chamber Community Foundation Leadership Class 32 took on a food bank project. File photo
The Chandler Chamber Community Foundation Board of Directors' Leadership Class 32 has won the Chandler Volunteer Working Together Award for its benefits to the community.
"We are very proud of all of our Community Foundation Leadership Institute classes," Terri Kimble, president and CEO of the Chandler Chamber of Commerce, said. "The big picture here is to educate the classes -- priming them for service to the community in a leadership capacity if they choose to do so. Many of our graduates go on to serve on non-profit boards and committees. This award is proof positive that our efforts are serving the community."
The Chandler Chamber Community Foundation Leadership Class 32 took on a food bank project. Early on, the group realized that expanding the food bank project would take more work than they initially realized, since they hoped to combine to former retail spaces into one food bank. The group sought support of McCarthy Building Companies, Spaces Architectural Designs and O'Neil Printing and received pro bono remodeling services worth $75,000. The partnership provided more warehouse space, a reception area including books for children, and a community room that offers weekend backpack meal programs and office space.
The leadership class was honored at a recent breakfast event. Every year, the city of Chandler, the Chandler Non-Profit Coalition and Four Our City host the Chandler Volunteer Recognition Awards to honor those serving the community.

Coachella 2012: Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Hologram Bring 3-Day Music Festival to a Memorable Close [PHOTOS & VIDEOS]
The 2012 Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival came to a close on Sunday with some 225,000 people in attendance over the three-day event. Over 143 bands took the stage at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, Calif. where Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and a hologram of Tupac Shakur closed the show in what possibly will go down in history as the greatest close at Coachella.
What up, Coachella! a hologram of Tupac exclaimed on the stage Sunday night, joining Dre and Snoop Dogg. Despite the fact the rapper has been dead for over 15 years, the holographic image of Tupac was almost too life-like to believe. A shirtless, acid wash jeans-wearing Tupac joined Snoop for 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted, rapping Come With Me, Hail Mary and Gangsta Party.
Throughout the performance, Twitter was abuzz with the presence of Tupac, some of which who were celebrities in awe of the deceased rapper.
#TupacBACK #unbelievable #IWASTHERE #STORY4myGrandKidz, Rihanna tweeted, which was then retweeted by Snoop.
That Pac Hologram haunted me in my sleep. Rest In Peace 2Pac.......#OkIWill !!!!!!!!!! Questlove of The Roots joined in.
Eminem also joined Snoop and Dre for I Need a Doctor and Forgot About Dre and performed Til I Collapse on his own. Wiz Khalifa smoking a giant-sized joint made an appearance to join Snoop in Young, Wilf & Free.
I Performed Wit Dr Dre And Snoop Dogg!!! I Looked Ratchet :-) Wiz tweeted after the show.
The lineup also included Tony Yayo, Warren G, Kurupt and 50 Cent who brought back his 2003 hit In Da Club.
The Coachella Valley Music and Art Festival, organized by Goldenvoice since it began in 1999, went off without a hitch though the Hollywood Reporter said that 98 people were arrested on alcohol or drug-related charges, according to Indio Police. Beginning next year, the festival will be held over two weekends instead of one.

چکیده انگلیسی
Improving hospital supply chain performance has become increasingly important as healthcare organizations strive to improve operational efficiency and to reduce cost. In this study, we propose a research model based on a relational view, delineating the factors that influence hospital supply chain performance: trust, knowledge exchange, IT integration between the hospital and its suppliers, and hospital–supplier integration. Testing results of the research model based on data from a sample of 117 supply chain executives from U.S. hospitals show positive direct effects: (1) from trust and from IT integration to knowledge exchange respectively; (2) from knowledge exchange and from IT integration to hospital–supplier integration respectively; and (3) from hospital–supplier integration to hospital supply chain performance. The results also show the following indirect effects: (1) the influences of knowledge exchange and IT integration on hospital supply chain performance are partially and fully mediated by hospital–supplier integration, respectively and (2) the influences of trust and IT integration on hospital–supplier integration are fully and partially mediated by knowledge exchange, respectively. In addition, the results show the following moderating effects: (1) hospital system membership moderates the relationships between IT integration and knowledge exchange and between trust and knowledge exchange; (2) hospital environmental uncertainty moderates the relationship between trust and knowledge exchange; and (3) trust moderates the relationship between knowledge exchange and hospital–supplier integration. Implications of the study findings and directions for future research are discussed.

So off we went, out the door, down the step, and onto the sidewalk. Periodically looking down, she looked ecstatic with joy, soaking in the more pleasant temperatures of Fall. Calling down to her checking how she was doing, she smiled up at me with a warmth and loyalty I must admit I not regularly experience from my fellow Homo sapiens.
Did you know dogs are by nature related to humans? Its in their genetic breeding to be subordinate to us. They need us, and often we need them. They perk up and turn their head side to side in wonderment when they notice something curious about us. When we are down, they intuitively know, peering up at us with sad, puppy dog eyes, jumping on our lap to give us a lick saying "Are you okay?"
My dog is, in a sense, my best friend, or at least she ranks up there as A best friend. She stares at me sometimes in adoration for hours on end from the couch, while I blog away in my armchair on the other side of the room. She waits in tense anticipation Saturday mornings, hoping I'll take her along for errands.
I love my dog!
