Hello I'm Brad Dixon, owner of ENDURObeet. I'm a sports physiotherapist, triathlon/running coach, RPM instructor, and father of two beautiful growing girls. I've been involved in the NZ triathlon scene since 1988, competing at the Long distance World champs in 1996, Hawaiian Ironman in 1999, and love running half and full marathons. I never understood the importance of life balance, and the power of great nutrition to fuel every aspect of life until a couple of years ago.
I was training for the Kepler off road run and developed a meniscus tear (running on an injured knee - stupid). I missed the race and decided while I couldn't run for 6 months I would use the time to work on good nutrition, and train around the injury with a positive mind-set rather than sulk.
I lost 8kg in 10 weeks, and discovered a vitality that I hadn't experienced since I was a teenager by eating less processed carbs, increasing my good fats, cutting out free sugar, and eating more vegetables - especially leafy green vegetables high in Nitrates. ENDURObeet beetroot powder is a great way to get those nitrates in an easy natural convenient fashion. It really adds a great flavour to my smoothies, and it's an excellent way to improve performance and exemplify that "feel good" factor before a tough training session or race.
ENDURObeet is not a silver bullet but when used as part of a healthy lifestyle and eating plan it helps lift you to a higher level of performance helping every aspect of your life.

Clever Little Ethan
We have several different toys set up around our living room for the boys to play with, including a ball pit and 3 another toys that develop hand eye co-ordination and encourage them to put balls into different holes.... Anyway, they all use slightly different balls.
This morning Ethan was in the ball pit and found one of the balls from another game in the ball pit. He took it in his hand, crawled accross the room and took it to the toy it belongs to.
I thought he was very clever, such a simple action shows good memory and problem solving skills. I'm really enjoying watching them grow, learn and develop!

Random Stuff
I think a few weeks back I posted our allergy plan, but haven't given any info on how things are going....
Firstly, Ethan has been fully successfully weaned onto formula. He drinks it well and has not had any problems!! Yay for Ethan.
Tracie has given up the breast pumping and did so very easily..... everything is back to its pre-pregnancy state. She's happy.
Secondly, we successfully introduced wheat and the boys are enjoying eating pasta, bread and weetbix.
Thirdly, we introduced Salicylates, and as expected, Benny had a reaction. We gave them a high salicylate diet until he had the reaction. Day 1 was fine. Day 2-4 both boys had very mild rashes (Ben worse than Ethan). Day 5 (yesterday) Ben had a larger and more acute rash. Today both boys are back on their low allergy diet. We are waiting for Ben's skin to calm down and then we will try the amine challenge next week.
Well, after much debate, we decided the time had come to turn the boys into a forward facing position in the car.
It's all a matter of safety. They are safer in a rearward facing position for as long as possible. Australia's guidelines say they can be turned around when they are 8kg and are able to sit with minimal support (about 6-7months). The majority of the rest of the world's guidelines says 9kg and one year old. Currently they are about 9kg (Ben) and 10kg (Ethan). They are almost 11months and have been sitting unsupported for about 4 months.
We were planning to wait as long as possible to turn them (for safety) but even though their car seats say they can travel rear-facing up till 12kg, Ethan had outgrown his seat and become too tall to safely travel like that. We turned them both.... cos you just can't have twins being too different!
The first time we put them into the car, we got into the front seat, turned around to say hello and Ethan looked at us, gave a great big smile and waved at us..... it was SO SO SO cute!! He's so happy facing the front and being able to see us. Ben didn't seem too impressed and didn't really care either way!
Talking - Both boys have become very chatty and talk for hours a day. Ben has a quiet high voice and loves to say a sentence like 'da da a dai dai a da a dai' He also says 'hi' and 'nan nan nan'. Ben doesn't say mum very often. Ethan's voice is lower, and louder. He like to say sentences like 'mum mum mum bub mum bum mum bum mum' and 'a yay yay yay'
Eating: Ethan is very good at eating a variety of textures and flavours. He chews and swallows very well. Ben has difficulty with food that doesn't easily slip down his throat. He seems to get a lot of food stuck in his mouth and often requires a few mouth fulls of water to help wash everything down. Ben prefers everything to be pureed and slippery.
Fine motor skills: Ethan is very very good at picking up very small objects and putting them in his mouth. Unfortunately his favorites seem to be kitty litter and dust. Ethan is also good at feeding himself actual food, picking up his toys and spinning objects. Ben's fine motor skills aren't quite as good. He can pick up larger objects and sometimes gets them into his mouth. He is getting much better at his hand eye co-ordination and can pick up balls and put them into holes as he plays with his toys.
Gross Motor Skills: Ben is very good at his gross motor skills. He crawls properly, he can put himself into a sitting position. He can easily get himself into a standing position and walks along the furniture, sometimes almost runs. In the last day or two, Benny has started to leg go of objects when he's standing up. He can only stand for about 3-4seconds, but he'd defiantly getting better and sure is practicing a lot. Ethan's gross motor skills aren't as good. He still crawls on his belly and can't get himself into a sitting position. He is however now very good at standing up. He can stand up where ever he wants, walks along all the toys and furniture and has recently (thankfully) learnt how to get back down too.
We find it interesting that Ethan has better fine motor skills, where are Ben is better at the gross motor stuff.
Since the boys were born we've all been sleeping in the same room. We decided the time has come for us to sleep in a different room. We have given the boys the bigger room (as they have more stuff) and we moved out. We bought our selves a new bigger bed and we're enjoying sleeping in our new room. The boys have coped very well with the adjustment and actually seem to sleep better. We have had a few unsettled nights with the boys waking a bit more than usual as the next street is being re-surfaced with night road works (very bloody noisy all night long!!!). We hope this is almost done and things will be back to normal soon. We've been spending some time decorating their room now that it's all theirs, it's almost done and we'll upload some pics soon. We also plan to decorate our new room and have already done our guestroom. We still need to do the study...... ohhh how the days need to be longer!!
Our boys, especially Benny are starting to test their boundaries and can be very stubborn with the things they want to do. Ben seems to be obsessed with standing at the coffee table and banging a plastic toy on the table. I think he likes the noise. He's not allowed to do this as we don't want him to damage our nice coffee table. Every time we tell him to stop he gives us a very cheeky little smile and bangs it again. We tell him to stop 2-3times then get up, take the toy off him and make him sit down and tell him 'no'. This, of course makes him cry for a while. Within a minute or so he's back at the table, often with another toy testing us again. Sometimes when he knows we're not paying attention he gets up to the table with a toy and taps it very lightly so it only makes a quiet noise. He looks at us and smiles and you can see him thinking 'i wonder if they'll stop me this time'. So cheeky!!!!!! They are also forbidden to play with electrical cords, the TV and the laptop and love to push those boundaries too. Ethan loves to open and close the storage box that contains nappies, wipes, bags, creams and other things he's not allowed. He gets very upset when he's told to stop. We are trying to introduce discipline and set boundaries without it being a big deal. It's a tricky balance. We hope we're doing it right.
Wow.... long post tonight. Sorry about that. I'll upload some pics next time.

Playtime at home
Boys in the highchairs..... Ben has learnt to wave bye bye on command. Ethan does it sometimes.... but unfortunately, not this time!

Day by day - 10 months old
Things in general are going very well. The boys are very happy. We've had a few teething related miseries this week, but nothing too terrible..... No new teeth yet. Ben still has 5. He's very close to having 6. Some days that 6th tooth pokes through and causes him some pain, and feels sharp, but the the next day it's back in the gum. It's bothering the poor boy. Ethan still has 2 teeth.
Both boys are now very good at standing and cruising along the furniture. Neither boy can stand without holding something..... but Ben is getting closer.
Both boys love their standing activity table (see below). They are now able to pick up the balls, put them in the holes, watch them fall, then pick up the ball and repeat the process. I'll try and get it on video and upload it soon. It's amazing to watch them learn cause and effect and develop their fine and gross motor skills.

These are the things which are ignored while selecting a designing company. And hence people end up getting their website designed by cheaper and less – efficient web designer. This not only wastes your money, but may deteriorate the reputation of the company. I was in the same misconception and ended up selecting a cheaper designing company. And to all worse things happening in my life, my website was not able to come up on the search list because of many problems including website design which was made by changing a template here and there. Afterwards, I hired a web designing and marketing company named www.medicalwebexperts.com who reconstructed my website thoroughly. They met all the standards for my web design and made it Google friendly. And after a period of 4 to 5 months of web marketing, I was able to distinguish see the difference in the genuine traffic, which is more important than getting fake traffic. The progress seems to show results positively in my income. This is how I was able to grab the internet market in my field.

So I'm thrilled to welcome John back – this time he's sharing suggestions for alternative father / daughter dance songs.
His first big break came in 1974 when, with the tune 'Tin Man' topping the charts, the band America needed a drummer to sub for an ailing Willie Leacox. Within 24 hours and knowing only "Horse With No Name," he played their show in front of thousands of fans with Willie holding a flashlight on his hastily made charts. This led Harry to California, where he joined the country/rock band Silver, a band signed to Arista Records. The group managed one top 20 hit in 1976, "Wham Bam Shang a Lang," and after a couple of years they disbanded leaving Harry to hone his recording skills further by playing with Jay Ferguson, Al Stewart, Etta James, and Peter Frampton (that's Harry on the 'Out of Control' album). Besides playing for television, he appeared in Bette Midler's The Rose as well as contributing background vocals for Juice Newton on her first two albums, Juice , and Quiet Lies . That's Harry singing on "Love's Been A Little Bit Hard on Me."

Ramadan 2010 - Day 20 Commercials Critique

Mid-Ramadan Commercials Critique - Part 2
Hi there,
A quick sequel to yesterday's post, because after I posted yesterday's review, some ads were released only yesterday and this morning... so consider this a quickie before the weekend!
1. El Misrieen Corporate - White Cheese:
Maybe I have a soft spot towards local brands that do high-quality ads, but is this ad great or what?
I love how they took a song from the deep roots of the Egyptian culture and turned it around, great copy-writing there.
However, I wasn't so sure about the bit where they tear down the old logo, also the fact that the factory was old, dusty w 2ayel lel soqoot.. for me it shows that the company was at sub-par level before, then after the revamp it became great..
They should show continuous and consistent quality... or am I over-analyzing things?
Anyways.. I like the ad, good stuff!
Grade: B+
2. Sprite Lemon and Lime Ramadan 2010 - Promo 2
The Lemon and Lime characters are back with yet another copy..
This one has a mix of fiery, more daring statements (clear reference to arch-rival, 7UP), with some good old non-sense for HA-HA purposes (I'm not sure if it worked for u or not, it hasn't for me, except for the "Ghazat" part)!
As mentioned in a previous review (although I personally like these ads), but they're so extreme to the extent that I got some feedback from people who said they'll stop drinking Sprite because they think the ad is horrible.. So its either ADORE or DESPISE, no middle ground..
You choose....
Grade: B
3. Coca Cola Happiness in Cafe - Making:
Personally, I think that shooting this TVC was much harder than following a written script.. You don't know which table will order first, you don't know how people will react and you have ONE SHOT to make it work (for ppl outside the advertising field, it can take you 3 days to shoot a 30" spot).
Personally I think going for activations and BTL is a brilliant idea for the below reasons:
- Recruiting brand loyalists from within the target will definitely create a lot of buzz around the brand.. Imagine yourself one of these ppl in the cafe, and you won yourself a PS3 or an LCD courtesy of Coke.. How many ppl will you call on the way back home to tell them about it, and how many ppl will these ppl talk to.. until your story becomes "a friend of a friend" legend.. The hardest medium to infiltrate and evaluate/monetize is "Word of Mouth", it also happens to be the one with the highest impact. Get people talking about your brand positivley, you're made! :)
- Low cost: Although I can imagine that setting this up and getting it right at the first and only time was HELLACIOUS, but the cost of producing this TVC is a fraction of cost compared to any other commercial (even if you account for all the prizes that they gave away).. So its a smart and cost-effective move.
- Pepsi didn't come this year: I know this too much of literal translation, but really "PEPSI magatsh this Ramadan"... Maybe they have an agenda, maybe they had a problem, thats not the point at discussion here.. Either way, Coke made use of that intentional/coincidental absence and I bet brand health stats will go over the roof after these ads.

Mid-Ramadan Commercials Critique
Afternoon fellas...
Its mid-Ramadan already, hope u made the best of it..
And if u didnt... yadob tel7a2 :)
I believe by now most of the brands have unveiled their copies already, except if Pepsi have something HUGE in store to make up for their failure this year (I got an anonymous comment a couple of days ago that this might be by choice, not a force majeur issue; which is a respectable POV)..
But I think if Pepsi did this by choice, then its even a bigger problem, letting go of advertising in a high-consumption month wouldnt serve their market share too well..
This one won'e be too much of a "critique", because I just realized that most of the ads I have on this post are ads that I like, coincidentally.. But you definitely have the right to disagree and debate
Yalla beena...
1. Coca Cola Happiness 2 - The Cafe:
I'm starting to like these, although I've been still getting comments that they're fake (eg: no one would order a Coke in a cafe kda... i dont know, the order looks fake).. But I LOVE the fact that I can walk away with a PS3 just for drinking a can of Coke..
Besides, it didnt just stop at a guy with a bullhorn-mic and some confetti falling from the ceiling like in the supermarket copy..
The stuff they did (Agmad wa7ed fel donia sign, PS3, the musical parade and of course going back home with a free LCD) made people GENUINELY smile and laugh their hearts out, you can tell from the looks on their faces...
I can't wait to see el far7a el gayya fein indeed! :))
Grade: A

Ramadan 2010 - Day 11 Commercials Critique
Morning peeps, hope you had a chilled weekend!
Its funny I was apoligising a couple of days ago for a short post and complaining that there aren't enough ads on Youtube... Well, I got my wish granted, so this one is going to be quite a rich one..
So.... Lets dig right into it...
1. Chevrolet Aveo:
The FP7 team make it again with one fantastic ad... beautiful, just beautiful!
Its funny, witty, insightful and pointing out the major benefits of the car.. apart from a couple of clichés that are usually present within any other car ad (throwing away ur living room because the car is more comfortable, And taking ur kid's entire scouts squad in the car because its so spacious).. but thats fine, I still like it...
The target of this ad has been identified beautifully, young people who are still kicking off a career, open to life and are very ambitious (hell, the guy in the ad is called Mr.Tamoo7, the literal translation of "ambitious").
Also, I absolutely adore the attention to detail this team has put into the copy, the amount of details in this ad is unbelievable.. the kids wearing easter bunnies and his wife coloring an egg while the VO says (Shamm el Nessim), the Hamsa hands on the wall and the colleagues actually smoking "beysheeto" while they're saying that people will get jealous.... and a lot more
Its a combination of little things that make this copy stand out and shout "This team have done their homework"
Two thumbs up..
Grade: A
PS: Its also worth saying that the Tamr Hindi (Tamarind) tree originally grew in tropical Africa (Cameroon, Sudan, Tanzania and Nigeria).. India just happens to be the world's biggest producer... So it didnt even turn out to be an Indian drink afterall!
But the question here is when did the whole positioning of Birelle become associated with "Manhood"?
PS: Its worth mentioning however, that its the kind of ad that would either be LOVED or completely HATED by people... its THAT extreme!
I've already been getting some mixed-emotional feedback about this particular copy!
But I personally like it! :)
A couple of quick endnotes here:
1. Our audience is not stupid:
The Egyptian consumer in particular has seen this industry evolve over the past 30 years, and knows how to analyse, believe or not to believe these ads.. So Egyptians are ad critics themselves, each and every one of them.. So although we still see some sub-par TVC (Ex: 0900XXXX competitions), but generally the ad scene in Egypt is picking up big time.
2. Where are all the Food commercials in Ramadan?
This was an observation from someone who does not work in the field, but indeed its a point well taken.. We are not seeing a lot of Ghee, Oil, Sugar and grade-2 & 3 products on TV.
I believe this is attributed to the high competition of TV stations over the past 2-3 years with the launch of the likes of Al Hayat Group, Panorama Group, Modern Group....etc.
This created a lot of fragmentation of viewership, thus you cannot reach most of your target audience using only one channel like you used to do before (ETV CH1 and CH2 and that was it)..
Now ad placement is becoming more complicated and costly, something that only Multinationals or strong local clients can accommodate.
Till we meet next time,

I have participated in far too many funerals for my age. Every single one of those ceremonies is intended to honor the memory of the one who passed and to help the surviving loved ones deal with their grief. A funeral is one of the most profound moments of humanity; it is during these moments when we focus on what is truly important to us.
Let me tell you something incredibly important. Not one of those funerals mentioned how much money the deceased had earned. There was not one mention of the final total in the checking account or how many assets were in the portfolio. Very few of the services even mentioned what the person did for a living.
Instead, family members and loved ones share stories and memories from good times in the past. They speak of challenges that were overcome together. They relate values their cherished loved one held dear to his or her heart. They speak of faith. More often than not, there is focus on generosity in both time and love.
There is something about this that speaks to our core. We have been trained from birth to think life is about getting all we can get, yet that path leaves us unfulfilled. Everything inside of us screams there must be more to life than this. Your heart is giving you insight into a spiritual truth. The sum of your life is not found in what you get; it is found in what you give. We are not put on earth to consume; instead, God asks us to contribute. Giving is the most practical expression of love because a person cannot love without giving. It is impossible.
This Sunday, March 2nd, Higher Calling will be having a special offering. We are trying to raise $10,000 above and beyond our normal offering so we can reach out into our community. The money will fund advertisements and outreach resources, primarily in the form of a mailer to be delivered in the week before Easter. I am asking for your support for this offering. Together, we can reach our community with the love of God!
Don't ever fall for the trap of thinking life is about the acquisition of things because that path will only lead to disillusion. None of the things you acquire will have any significance to you when you evaluate the impact of your life. What will matter is the contribution you have made in the lives of others and for the

With approximately 400,000 aliens currently residing illegally in the state, the largest fiscal liability is public education representing a cost at $1.85 billion annually.
Taxpayer-funded, unreimbursed medical outlays for health care provided to the state's illegal alien population amount to an estimated $200 million a year.
The uncompensated cost of incarcerating deportable illegal aliens in New Jersey's state and local prisons amounts to about $50 million a year.
The illegal alien population residing in New Jersey cost the taxpayers of this state nearly $2.1 billion per year for education, medical care and incarceration. For every New Jersey household headed by a native-born resident, that adds an additional $800 to their yearly costs.
The price tag of illegal immigration would be significantly higher if other cost areas were calculated, such as preventive health programs, special English instruction, and interpretation services in courts and hospitals, welfare programs used by U.S.-born children of illegal aliens, and welfare benefits for American workers displaced by illegal alien workers.
If the prospect of amnesty were passed in any form, family members of the current illegal alien population would be sponsored to come to the United States reuniting with families, which would increase the size of the poverty and near-poverty population likely to use public services.
Citizens are losing their savings, homes, and jobs, and to add insult to injury should The Healthcare Plan pass we would be mandated to pay for health coverage or pay a fine. We will still pay for those taxpayer-funded, unreimbursed medical outlays.
New Jersey cannot continue to overlook the immense burden placed on the state budget and expect its own citizens to pay when they cannot support themselves.
If we are to accomplish any future tax relief the issue of illegal aliens' must be addressed.

Using Parallel Process for a Successful Transformation
Wikipedia states the following: "Parallel processing is the ability to carry out multiple operations or tasks simultaneously. The term is used in the contexts of both human cognition, particularly in the ability of the brain to simultaneously process incoming stimuli, and in parallel computing by machines." In my mind, this is not to be confused with mere multi-tasking. While we indeed leverage parallel processing in best practices for task forces and other team efforts, there is another, messier way in which it shows up in human relationships that I believe to be a good mine for systemic transformation. It happens when we are in a parallel process without realizing it!

Don't Forget About the Forest
People learn what they're made of when they are presented with adversity. Difficult situations expose all the warts. In a business, adversity magnifies where internal communication breakdowns exist. Where poor relationships exist. Where production quality issues occur. Where overpromising to get the sale is rampant. Where systems aren't integrated. Where leadership is poor.
With adversity comes opportunity as well. It's the opportunity to get the organization to rally around some reason to change. It's the opportunity to transition toward a new direction. It's the opportunity to get everyone to work more as a team. It's the opportunity to create a common focus on what's most important. But before that opportunity can be realized, the adversity must first be recognized.
Don't Focus Too Much on the Individual Trees
Organizations, their customer service functions, and their service personnel are often seeing the symptoms of problems … Read More »
The Dangers of Assumptions
We are unique, complicated creatures, aren't we? That's something I was reminded of when reading this very short and to-the-point post by Seth Godin. He reminds us of 3 assumptions that we shouldn't make:
1) That people are rational.
2) That people desire change.
3) That once on the same page, other's views will align to your own.
Here's an idea – go into every human interaction (well, those that you desire to be productive, profitable and pleasant) without holding onto assumptions and be prepared to be curious about the other person's perspective. This way you won't be blind-sided when things don't go "your way." Two people with very different views of the world can come to mutual decisions and form very solid partnerships – this very dynamic is what makes some of the most creative, innovative and productive teams in the world.
Remember that … Read More »
All Aboard! Keeping Life on Track
Don't let another year slip by. Start making changes in your life now. Just think how much better you'll feel at the end of 2014 by pursuing your dreams now.
First, you have to build your "dream" team of like-minded individuals of women and men who are willing to support you with structure. You're like the "The Little Engine That Could" and you need a team of toys and other engines to help push you over the mountain top.
Your team should include individuals with the following five traits:
Is organized and knows how to create a functional time line
Has contacts and connections that can help you find the resources you need to achieve your dream
Sees the value of your dream and is willing to call you to task to accomplish it
Won't let you "slide" because you are too tired or distracted
Is willing … Read More »
What is Your Post-Exit Strategy?
Every year, every company loses customers. These customers exit the organization because of a myriad of reasons. Maybe it's the bad economy, it could be a competitor, maybe it's your pricing, or possibly your customer experience is declining.
So if your business is like others, you may respond to a loss in business by ramping up advertising and marketing efforts. Or if the pain of loss isn't too great because you're adding new customers at the same time, it's easy to assume that you had no control over why customers left; but if you make that assumption, you're costing yourself time and dollars.
Instead, when customers have left, ask yourself this question: What is my post-exit strategy?
Some of the best sales prospects your organization can have are former customers. You already have a great deal of intelligence on your former customers. You … Read More »
Communication…Think You Have This Covered?
Want to improve your company's bottom line?
What to improve company morale?
Want to give employees the same sense of urgency you have?
Want to get your employees, from the shop to the office, pulling from the same end of the rope?
Most of us know that when we are experiencing problems with our staff, there's some underlying communication issue that got messed up.
In other words,
Something that should have been said, wasn't.
Someone said something that wasn't true.
Someone made something up because they didn't know the truth.
Something didn't get communicated fast enough, to the right person.
Here's a suggested solution to this Communication Quagmire that we, as leaders, find ourselves in more times than we'd care to admit:
Implement a 10 Step Company Communication Plan.
#1: Determine what information needs to be communicated.
For your company's current stage of growth, what are your top 5 challenges?

It's Tough to Please Everybody
Are you a people pleaser – you know, one of those individuals who tries to make everyone happy? On a personal level, it can often be frustrating; you're trying to do what will make Fred happy and make Mary smile and make Jenny like you, and you get worn out in the process. You're doing too many different things for too many different people and for maybe not the right reasons. You want people to like you, but in the end you're not as happy as you probably ought to be.
In business, many of us find ourselves in similar roles whether we want to be there or not.
Conflicting Goals
It often happens when there are different teams or divisions within a company with conflicting goals. Operations wants to cut $15 million this year. Retention wants a 94% client … Read More »
Being an Effective Leader by Building Trust
In the workplace, we as workers, managers, and supervisors interact in more than just a business sense. In order to work together, we need to brew a good chemistry; in order for that to occur, we have to know each other. We spend time getting to know each other's thought patterns, speech patterns, work and play habits, interests and pet peeves. This is especially true for managers and supervisors – the leaders of the workplace.
How do we get to know these things? After all, it's never as simple as merely spending time around a person; after all, hundreds of couples get divorced every year, saying after it's all over, "I was married to Jane for twenty-five years and never knew she loved Frankie Valli!"
No, we can't simply absorb these pieces of knowledge through osmosis. Our co-workers must allow us to … Read More »
Wash, Rinse, Repeat – Driving Continuous Improvement
When organizations talk about Strategic Planning, they usually talk about some kind of a long-range plan that will be implemented over 3 to 5 years. While it's important to know where you're going long-term and have plans to accomplish the goals, it's equally important to make sure that you create an organization that is focused on continuous improvement. In order to develop an organization that is focused on accepting, wanting, and planning for change, create an efficient 90-day planning process.
Set the Target; Approach it Quickly
If you have a customer retention goal, create a plan to design and implement activities over a 90-day period to increase renewal rates. If you're trying to improve customer service, identify some of the key tactics you can implement impacting processes or education or people that will drive up customer satisfaction over the next 90 days. … Read More »
"Team Building"
Team Building. These words immediately conjure up cynical images of icebreaker and bonding exercises, interpersonal and sometimes intimate (and risky) disclosure, highly paid management consultants, group hugs and heartfelt commitments to be a cohesive team. Sure it's beneficial and if done well, can lead to euphoria. Problem is that "feeling" is short lived.
Truth is, when it comes to people working well together, it is a miracle that it happens as well as it does. The simple act of putting people together without proper tools can lead to disharmony. The cause of the conflict could be a difference in methodology, objectives, lack of clear direction or even personality. Most of the time, we manage these disagreements by crossing our fingers and hoping that despite the clash, the team will be productive, solve problems, get along and be nice to each other. … Read More »

"The Sabian symbol for the first degree of Cancer suggests that paradigm-shift around food is inevitable. The question is, with everything else trying to get our attention right now, will something as basic as food be able to cut through the static?
The Sabian symbols are part of a channeled system famously
interpreted by Dane Rudhyar in his book An Astrological Mandala. There
is a symbol for each degree of the zodiac. The one for 01 Cancer is: "On
a ship the sailors lower an old flag and raise a new one." Rudhyar adds
the keynote, "A radical change of allegiance exteriorized in a
symbolical act: a point of no return."
If that doesn't say 'paradigm shift', I don't know what does. Any
idea what sort of "symbolical act" you may choose tomorrow? Perhaps you
will know it only as you do it — or in hindsight, as you look back and
realize what some seemingly small choice actually set in motion.
Incidentally, when Ceres enters Cancer it will trine Neptune, which is
currently retrograde in the first degree of Pisces. A trine is a flowing
aspect of signs with the same element. Neptune's conversation with
Ceres tomorrow could be about the creative ways we can solve our
personal and collective food challenges. It could lend a sense of
spiritual support or importance to Ceres on the Aries Point. It may, on
the other hand, help those of us not quite ready to face facts slide
back into denial about just how capable we are of releasing old food
habits and beliefs about what nourishes us."

Miles lives with his brother Sammy. They are now a two cat family since Norton and Trixie went to the Bridge. They get along pretty well, though Sammy claims all the toys and Miles claims all the ham. Their blog is called Meezer Tails and I love reading it. This limerick is about a burning desire Miles has.
Meezer Miles wants to walk on the ceiling.
He yearns for Velcro with feeling.
With strips on ceiling and walls
And cool shoes on the balls
Of his feet, he'll race 'cross the ceiling.

THE ART OF WASHING HANDS: Sultanat Kazi conducts a hilarious session for schoolchildren on sanitation rites of the personal kind, the Vidya Probodini's LD Samant Memorial High School were very entertained!
THIS whole of last week I've lived with horror, my dears, and I am guilty just as much as you or anybody out there on the street is! Plastics may be a by-product of the petroleum industry but they've become so pernicious that all of last week I was glued to this series of video clips on how whales in deep oceans are turning up with all kinds of plastics in their belly; and there are groups out in the countries of the West who are actually chasing ocean currents and diving down under water to clean up the beds of whatever oceans and seas they can of huge mountains of plastic bottle and package waste degenerating in surreal carpets — a testimony to what a killer consumerist urban and industrial civilisation we have become in our greed to play at being top honchos on the pyramid of life. The pyramid is crumbling but how many of us see it and along with our indulgent governments (busy doing gau raksha and dumping polluting idols in water bodies and missing the point altogether)?
It's a story of let's not rock any boats and carry on merrily drinking out of plastics, eating out of plastics,
and last week I found myself sick to my soul sitting at this street-side outlet relishing a rather over-spiced misal-pau out of a flimsy plastic tray with pathetic plastic white spoon! I cursed myself anew for being a party to the petty usage of plastics out of doors when again and again I try not to buy food and drinks packaged in plastics, use plastic bags less and less, don't drink with ordinary or extraordinary plastic straws in five-star hotels, not even water out of so-called pet bottles. Hey, everything is going into plastics from food to medicines to furniture to all kinds of futuristic artefacts and what not. Ours is a killer mod con plastic civilisation putting away most everything into all kinds of plastics…and where are they all going, we don't know and don't want to know and don't care.
Once I packed up an entire meal from Fidalgo's Bhojan and came home to uncover a dozen little plastic containers packed with savouries, rice, dal, kadi, sabzi, pickle, papad, gulab jamun, etc, etc. I washed out the containers telling myself the next time I go there I'll take the very same containers, and between the maid and me we cleared my kitchen off all the plastic containers and bottles lying around to put out in the
bin. It is not the wet compost waste but our dry plastic garbage which is a very serious garbage disposal problem because we do not where it's going — much of it to the bottom of all our life-giving water bodies and into the stomachs of our marine life. In some degenerated carcinogenic form it's all coming back to us on our fine dining tables. Kid you not, and we deserve it.
Somewhere in our Sanskrit scriptures there's a line about how if we see the diversity but not its unity we're doomed from generation to generation and this applies to us like nothing else does — NOW. Our plastics are sowing the seeds of death and destruction and we still do not see it with any anxiety or caring. We deserve to die, not live. I've decided from now onwards there's no shame in carrying around my own cloth bag and set of stainless steel dabbas if I want to buy back food from somewhere or the other! Join me in this resolution — shun plastics in the food industry, local or national, in all the ways you can. Boycott, boycott, boycott!
WHICH reminds me Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar was waxing lyrical about being eco-conscious at Kalakirti's Goa Environmental Festival inauguration at the Kala Academy on Sept 8, 2017 and spoke about wearing the same shirt, and using the shopping cloth bag in his family for years on end…wish he could persuade his Cabinet colleagues to observe some old-age eco-friendly practices too. I wonder how eco-friendly his government is for all the talking about it! Anyway for whatever it is worth he preached his mantra of "Reduce consumption, reduce your wants and don't create waste." He quoted Mahatma Gandhi on how there's enough for everyone's need but not greed …if you're asking me, my dears, real eco-friendliness would be to ban Ganesh idol visarjan in water bodies come Chovoth!
It was a very engaging three-day festival organized by key people Prema Pawaskar, Dharmanand Vernekar,
Rita Mody Joshi, Pravin Sabnis, Harshada Kerkar, Richard Dias, Sadashiv Sirsat, Manoj Joshi. Reportedly the late advocate Satish Sonak played a role in setting up this group to highlight our appalling manners when it comes to respecting our environment/ecology at micro and macro levels.
The festival decided children are the key players in educating adults at home and several sessions were dedicated to competitions in which schoolchildren came up with pretty neat ideas on how we may recycle waste into useful/ornamental artefacts.
Most of the three days my heart was with the goings-on at the Kala Academy, but I managed to listen in to the talk by Chennai-based wildlife filmmaker Shekar Dattatri. Dattatri puts common sense above all else in eco-friendly practices, and confirmed our civilization of plastics is the main cause of large scale poisoning of our environment, ecosystems, environment…affecting global rise of temperature, contaminated oceans, struggling-to-stay-alive marine life.
We have only one earth, he said, it's smarter to give right of way to Mother Earth than to gradually ravage, denude her, to fit into our artificial, consumerist urban, industrial lifestyles of too much. Nirmal Kulkarni presented the amazing world of pythons and said in no uncertain terms how if we dealt with our garbage there would be no snakes biting us in urban areas (the venomous Russell's viper or non-venomous rat snake come looking for rodents foraging in the garbage heaps dotting the Goan landscape — his presentation on pythons was fascinating and he said don't fool with them as pets please, or abuse these gentle giants. Study the exciting world of creepy crawly fauna in our own homes, he urged, don't be so scared and go all out to exterminate it!
I missed the films and what must have been a most marvellous talk on the Goan matoli tradition by Rajendra Kerkar, and much else; but the CII Yi Goa symposium on "Making Businesses Greener" was truly educative with key panel speakers Prof Dipankar (chief scientist, TREELabs), Atul Pai Kane (past chairperson, CII Goa State Council & MD, Power Engineering India), Richard Dias (GM, Hindustan Waste Treatment) and many others. It was all about how industry can be more energy efficient, conservation-oriented and Goa can show the way to the rest of India if it wants to.
Alas, to quote Prof Dipankar, although we need to develop and adapt technologies for local environmental conditions and needs, engineers out of our Indian institutions are less than competent. Many of today's plethora of engineers may find problems with fridge or fan but can't fix them for love or for money…in short, many come endowed with fancy qualifications, but are useless, as also in a hurry to mint fortunes on their ignorance of a subject matter they're supposed to have mastered. With lots of sarcasm in the Q &A session Prof Dipankar confessed he was disillusioned by our IITs and IIT-ians and he actually goes to pick up his staff raw but morally sound at rural level where at least they have commonsense and can be trusted to do what they are taught to do – even if they are not IIT graduate engineers!
I'll leave you with all that insight into our life and times, my dears, and on that note it is avjo, poite verem, selamat datang, au revoir arriverdecci and vachun yeta here for now.

Great guide buriza - stickied.
Although there is a thread which addresses the topic of reliability and usefulness, I have decided to post a specific guide on how to answer this question in the World War I section.
As I am sure most if not all students of Modern History are well familiarised with, there are 7 concepts crucial to answering this question:
Some of you might think, it seems easy when it's set out like this, but why does it remain a chore to answer the question? Well, it's not a problem if you do feel like this, because it can certainly be difficult to integrate all these 7 concepts into a coherent response. Not to mention it has to be done in time constraints! As a result, the aim of this guide is to make you feel more comfortable about answering this question.
I will be putting forward an example in order to illustrate clearer what you need to do. It comes with images of the two sources, so just click on C and D in the question below to access them.
How useful would Sources C and D be for a historian studying the strategies and tactics used to break the stalemate on the Western Front?
First of all, remember that if a question just asks about how useful a source is, you will still have to discuss OMCAPRU. The question may in fact remind you of this, such as a following statement like "In your answer, consider the perspectives provided by the TWO sources and the reliability of each one."
Now you will need to think about how to approach the question. The order of how you address OMCAPRU is up to you, but ultimately you will have to open up your discussion of the two sources in the same way.
Start with the sources in the sequence they are presented, so in this case, Source C. Make a judgement of how useful you think the source is and make sure to use modal terms. Writing something like "Source C would be very useful to an historian studying the strategies and tactics used to break the stalemate on the Western Front, but it has some limitations" would be adequate.
After you have done this, you will have to quickly decide the order in which you do address OMCAPRU. By no means do you have to follow the approach I have provided, nor is it the most correct way of doing things. It's just to provide a framework of how you could answer the question. Make your own judgement in the end to whether or not it suits your style.
1. Start by discussing the origin of the source, as this is the basis of the source
e.g. Source C does not provide the historian with many specific facts about its origin, since even the date is omitted. But from the primitive gas masks, we could presume this was taken early in the war. The source does not indicate either who took the photograph, but it was likely for a newspaper in Britain, thus further decreasing its reliability and accounting for its idealised nature.
2. Follow this up by discussing the content of the source. Make sure to be thorough and point how features in the source help an historian studying the specific topic (relevance of the content)
e.g. Source C depicts a British trench from which an offensive (with the purpose of breaking the stalemate) could be launched, however the trench is atypical with its cleanliness and neat construction, which shows how it could be a staged photograph. Indeed, the trench is very sterile with a lack of mud or bodies and the sandbags in fact look clean and undamaged. Additionally, the soldiers appear to be aware that the photograph is being taken, which adds more to the suspicion that it could be a staged photograph and not representative of a pre-battle scene. Nonetheless, there are still some indications of strategies and tactics used to break the stalemate on the Western Front, as there are weapons such as rifles and bayonets present. The masks also indicate there were gas attacks and the sandbags were there to shield shoulders from artillery.
3. Audience and motive can come up next and the reason why I put them together is because they are very much connected to each other
e.g. It cannot be discussed in certainty what the audience and the motive for the source were, however it was very likely that the audience were British civilians on the home front and the photographer was British as well. The motive of the photographer, as indicative from the more ideal nature of the photograph, probably concerned positively communicating the war to the British civilians and help maintain morale.
4. Now comes perspective, (ethnicity, class, etc – look to the origin/motive to help inform this) and how it affects the reliability of the source
e.g. The perspective of the source is quite narrow, being purely from a British perspective from the early period of the war. It does not show German perspective and cannot give any insight into how strategies and tactics developed throughout the later period. It is also restricted in that it only depicts a front line location and cannot give us information on other measures to break the stalemate on the home front, at sea or in other locations of the war.
5. Make an overall judgement about the reliability of the source, which should've been accumulated by the reliability discussed while addressing origin, content, audience, motive and perspective
e.g. The reliability of the source is deeply compromised by the reality that the source may have been staged for propaganda purposes and may therefore not be a true indication of the desperate measures which were undertaken to break the stalemate.
6. Finish it off by reaffirming, as you did in your topic sentence, the usefulness of the source
e.g. Nonetheless, the source is still quite useful to a historian as it gives some idea to the strategies and tactics used to break the stalemate on the Western Front.
Furthermore, if you happen to be the type to do practice questions, you can improve your responses by making sure you have answered the following questions:
1. What does the source say?
2. What doesn't the source say? (This one is commonly neglected. It's good to say if the source is lacking in some way when it comes to content)
3. Why is it reliable or not reliable?
4. What is the perspective?
5. Have you quoted from the source if it is comprised of text?
6. Have you stated if the composer experienced or did not experience the event, i.e. as an eye-witness?
7. Have you briefly considered the biographical details of the composer?
I am aware that the examples I provided only came from Source C and it is up to you if you want to think up some things from Source D. There is not much more for me to say now as you can apply the same process to addressing the second source. There is no need to complete the response with an introduction or conclusion, just get into the heart of assessing he sources.
If you're wondering how much space you should be spending on this question, I believe you do not need more space than what is provided as that is the recommended space for the question. As each part has around 45 minutes allocated to answering this, in the World War I section you should be spending around 30 minutes for this extended response. This is flexible though and you should decide what is best for you as students can complete the multiple choice/short answer in various times.
A few more things: there is no need to be flowery in your language. Always be succinct when you can. English might be a little different, but for Modern History, clarity and getting to the point is appreciated. World War I is often considered the section where you should be getting easy marks, so make sure you are able to get it down pat and you can with practice!
If you end up getting a little all over the place when it comes to your structure in the exam, don't panic. As long as you link it back to the question and tie it together with judgements on reliability and usefulness, you should be able to keep yourself on track. But really, the more straightforward you are, the more you'll be able to maximise your marks. Yes, this does mean you are able to use the actual terms origin, motive, content, audience, perspective, reliability and usefulness in your response.
Have any questions? Feel free to ask me on the thread!

This is absolutely brilliant and a life-saver! I have a Source Analysis test tomorrow morning and this is exactly what I need to reap in the extra marks I've been missing out on in my previous tests and exams.
Would you recommend dedicating one - I wouldn't say paragraph, but section/part to Source A, discussing OMCAPRU, and then discuss Source B directly under Source A or interweave both analysis of sources together?

How to be a quitter in 4 easy steps.
Would you quit your job in a heart beat if you could? Well, why not. Quit. But don't just grab a beer, pull the emergency door, give everyone the finger and slide on down the freedom chute.
You need to have a plan first. What do you want to do? Start your own business? Get a new job in a different field? Walk the earth like Cain? Whatever it is you need to sit down with a pencil and paper and map out a chart to get you to where you want to be.
Quitting is fine. Look at it in a different way, if your heart isn't in what you are doing, you are just marking time, in a holding pattern as life and opportunity pass you by. That's not good for you, your coworkers or your family. That's not quitting that's improving your lot in life. You need to find something that is going to energize you every morning you wake up. Do something that doesn't feel like "work".
Is it crazy? Maybe quitting is. I quit my career of twelve years. I wrote about it here and here. It was very nerve racking for a bit. But I also gave myself a two year period to make the transition. Here are some of the steps that worked for me.
- Improving your current resume. I did my absolute best work at my current job even though I knew in my heart that I was leaving. I earned my best personal evaluation and helped guide my team to be one of the best in our field. Having awards and quantifiable statistic showing improvement and growth on my resume really helped.
- Give yourself time. I first discussed the option of leaving my job in 2005 with my wife. By 2007 I decided that I was going to leave and in 2008 I started looking for a new position even though my contract wasn't up until the summer of 2009. In the early months of 2009 I gave my notice that I would be leaving in the summer and started interviewing for positions. I was able to find a new job and by the fall of 2009 I started my new position. I was really stressed out doing interviews. Even though I still had a job, I really wanted to nail everyone.
- Practice your interview skills. This is essential. I have participated in hiring and interviewing new employees and the ones who aren't prepared stick out like a sore thumb. You cannot "wing it". Get a friend or spouse who will give you pointed feedback. Simon Cowell-esqe feedback is the best.
- Don't look back. This one is a little tough because I knew I didn't have to leave my old job. My old job was always a safety net. I could have gone back at any time if my job search didn't work out. Heck, I still could go back but looking back is the wrong focus. Once you have made up your mind, you need to have laser focus on the path ahead.
If you are stuck in a dead end job, start a plan to move on to something more stimulating. Listening to you complain about it day after day is getting old for someone.

This is such a great read. The difference of saying, "I quit!" vs. planning for years to make a change and improve your situation.
January 10, 2011 at 10:18 am
Hi Matt,
21 years ago I left my corporate job and started my own business and as you say "never looked back". I like your post especially for this point: PLAN.
Interesting that you say it took you 2 years. From the day I admitted I was going to make a change to the day I left was — 2 years! I wonder if that is a coincidence or something more. LOL
Nonetheless, responsible planning is essential and then, the person must do it. Don't over plan. Analysis paralysis will keep you only where you are.
Bravo and I will RT this on Twitter.

There's a lot of interesting stuff in "The Son of Gotham," but by and large it mostly feels like filler. In the end, so many stakes are raised that it really needed to be better than it was to get me excited for the fall finale.
Let's start with the good. Once again, the Bruce Wayne stuff proves to be some of the most interesting stuff. He's learning one of the most important things that will help him when he eventually becomes Batman: deception. While the interrogation of Bruce and Silver got really, really cartoonish and silly, it led to an excellent reveal. We saw Bruce at his coldest and most morally gray in this episode and these are major aspects of the character he's destined to become, for better or worse. Galavan was also at the top of his game in this episode, proving himself as an unstoppable threat by easily getting the former mayor to lie in court. More than that, he's finally shown himself as a physical threat in a very one-sided fight against Gordon.
That's sort of one of the unfortunate things about Gotham. There are all these amazing villains being introduced, but we don't see them get to do too much because there's no hero for them to face off against. This isn't a superhero show, so we're rarely treated to an exciting fight. This wasn't that, but at least it came close.
Alfred's fight with Tigress was interesting, but was there for absolutely nothing more than length. It had no bearing whatsoever on the larger plot, except for almost explicitly foreshadowing that Alfred is probably going to be the one to kill Tigress for harming Bruce, once all is said and done.
Gordon hunting down the monks was also not nearly as exciting as it should have been. This show is getting to be pretty bad at teasing larger plot points. Just about the moment that something is shown in full, it is thrown directly into the spotlight and burned out until we move onto the next thing. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised at all if Galavan was killed in the fall finale and the entire season plot up to this point was wrapped up.
Like I said, there are some really good moments in this episode. But this is an important one, it shouldn't feel like it's just coasting until the finale, especially as the first in a two-parter.

Another Rant By: BettyJean Kling
If he thinks I am going to buy this – he is dumber than he looks! His bow to the Saudi King caused such an indignation only a fool would give another full bow again and start that all over … unless he has an ulterior motive. He has, and I for one am not falling for that curtain call. Do they really take us for complete morons?
Standing alone the bow to the Saudi King would always bring him disparagement – but as one of several bows perhaps it's repugnance to American's can be diminished. Perfectly timed so as to appear part of this man's MO when visiting country's that expect bowing, he forgets he did not bow to England's Queen not to mention he and his nervy wife actually put their hands on the Queen. What that a lack of reverence for England, or the Queen because she was a woman? Notice the full bow to Emperor Akihito of Japan and the head nod to his wife, Empress Michiko. Even that was better than the pat on the back poor Lizzy got! ( Ooops that was Queen Elizabeth wasn't it?)
So much for when in Rome … but then again let's see if he kisses the Pope's ring – after all that is custom when meeting the Pope – is it not? But American protocol is the only one i am concerned with as should our President be. More of the change we can do without!
Of course customs in foreign lands are to be respected- while those at home are ignored such as was done at Georgetown University when he appeared and had the Christ Figure covered! Is this what the man meant by Change? It feels more like Schizophrenia the way his motus operandi flips around and changes to suit or should I say attempt to fix every faux pas he manages to make both from his lack of experience and his handler's blunder.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton caught all kinds of hell for a mere head nod in 1994, while this POTUS ass appears as a full rump shot every chance it gets – well except in the presence of Queens — or so it would appear.
"It wasn't a bow, exactly. But Mr. Clinton came close. He inclined his head and shoulders forward, he pressed his hands together. It lasted no longer than a snapshot, but the image on the South Lawn was indelible: an obsequent President, and the Emperor of Japan." …
But the "thou need not bow" commandment from the State Department's protocol office maintained a constancy of more than 200 years. Administration officials scurried to insist that the eager-to-please President had not really done the unthinkable.
"It was not a bow-bow, if you know what I mean," said Ambassador Molly Raiser, the chief of protocol.
White House officials described Mr. Clinton's tilt as something of an improvisation. Because Emperor Akihito broke with tradition in turn to raise his glass at the state dinner, some even said Mr. Clinton had managed something of a breakthrough.
"Presidents don't bow, and Emperors don't toast," one official said. "So this was a little bit like the cultures meeting each other halfway." http://www.nytimes.com/1994/06/19/weekinreview/the-world-the-president-s-inclination-no-it-wasn-t-a-bow-bow.html
Obama Bows to Japanese King This Time
What part of the American President does NOT bow to any royalty does Obama not understand. You would have thought he would have learned after the Saudi King fiasco of bowing, but he didn't. Obvious to Americans that Obama was not raised as American as he makes the Office of President subservient to Kings unless it is Britain and then no protocol observed. Our most loyal ally and he treats the Queen like she is the next door neighborn not the Queen of England.

"During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said,
'Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites!
Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.'
The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country.
'For otherwise,' they said, 'we will all die!'
So the people took their dough before the yeast was added,
and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.
The Israelites did as Moses instructed
and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.
The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people,
and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians."
Exodus 12:31-36 (NIV)
Pharaoh has finally gotten the message. He realizes that if he continues to rebel, he and his nation will be destroyed. He urges Moses and the Israelites to leave immediately, along with their flocks and herds.
Oddly, Pharaoh also asks Moses and Aaron for a blessing. He may not understand everything which is going on, but he seems to have at least realized that the LORD is powerful, holding the authority over life and death, and that Moses and Aaron are His spokesmen.
The other Egyptians also urge the Israelites to hurry and get out of their country. They, too, fear for their lives. They are so anxious that the Israelites have to leave before they have even finished preparing their daily bread. They have not yet added yeast, so the dough is wrapped up in clothing and carried with them as they depart.
The Israelites also follow Moses' instructions and request gifts of silver and gold and clothing from the Egyptians, who are more than eager to comply as long as they leave immediately. In this way they plunder the Egyptians, although this is more than fair, since they had been enslaved by (and had labored for) the nation for over 400 years.

As we all know, women enjoy porn just as much as guys do 2 being a lesbian vaginal fisting thing that made me want to airlift ice packs to.
This is the ultimate guide to tasteful pornography for women. Where's the stuff for adventurous women, made by women? It's not just about porn, but sex is important, and if we can't see a whole host of different people. A selection of high quality porn sites for women featuring beautiful erotica, explicit scenes, romantic or hardcore. The best alternative porn! Women are transforming chauvinistic porn into cinematic masterpieces "It would have made me popular had I not been a girl," she concedes.
Pornhub.com is filled with seductive couples, steamy love-making and the best female friendly erotica online. Catch all the videos for free. But what she has been doing is not mainstream pornography, but independent porn made for women.
"I have fought long and hard for women's.
