Wednesday, August 27, 2014
Seattle Public Library, Central Branch
Event Description
Join us for a conversation between T.V. Reed, author of "Robert Cantwell and the Literary Left: A Northwest Writer Reworks American Fiction," and writer Jess Walter.
Reed's new book "Robert Cantwell and the Literary Left" attempts to reclaim Cantwell's place in the canon of 20th-century American literature. The book also serves as a biography of Cantwell, who gave up his career as a novelist due, in part, to McCarthy-era politics that branded him as a communist sympathizer.
Spokane writer Jess Walter authored the introduction to Pharos Editions' recent reissue of Cantwell's "The Land of Plenty."

Event Description
Welcome three of Portland's most talented authors as they discuss books near and dear to their hearts that have long languished out of print and are now available again through Pharos Editions: The Lists of the Past, a technically mesmerizing collection of stories by Julie Hayden; The Tattooed Heart & My Name is Rose, two emotionally charged literary novels by Theodora Keogh; and Crazy Weather, a classic coming-of- age tale set in the American Southwest that serves as "an important document in our cultural history."
Cheryl Strayed (Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail), Lidia Yuknavitch (Dora: A Headcase), and the legendary Ursula K. Le Guin (The Earthsea Cycle, The Unreal and the Real) will explore the history, context, and reasons they chose to introduce these titles and help bring them back to readers once more. Discussion will be moderated by editor-in-chief of Bitch Media, Kjerstin Johnson.

Feel like I have something to share here. I have had a lot of experience in online dating and I know that many people are completely frustrated by their experiences. I hope to help people have a better chance of finding the right person for themselves.
Not that I'm a matchmaker. I just think that people ignore the most important and most basic rules of how to successfully interact online and I have a few suggestions to make.

Playing the MegaMillions lottery can be very exciting especially if from time to time you are a winner. Winning can be accomplished quit often if the correct system is used. There are many so called experts in the market offering winning number secrets and scratch off ticket recommendations that promise to help you win. Most are not legit. However, there are a few systems on the market that has produced some promising results.
When you consider that that there are many different lottery systems available and lots of past winners you remain anonymous or don't talk about their winning strategies how many more winners might there be who have used such systems?
Think about it: is it possible that a huge percentage of lottery winners are actually using mathematical or statistical formulas to help them win? If that is the case then anyone who is not using a system is merely feeding the prize fund and has an almost zero chance of winning.
Would You Like to Win The MegaMillions lottery?
I'm going to guess that you want to win the lottery, right? Sure you do, that's why you're reading this article. You probably also want to know which state lotteries have the best odds of winning. If that is so, then you've come to the right place. This article will point you in the right direction when choosing which state lottery to play.
Before I get into the state lotteries, we need to look at lotteries and odds, in general. Generally, lotteries that have high jackpot payouts tend to be harder to win - The odds are worse.
With that being said, you first need to ask yourself how much money you want to win. Most people play lotteries to win a life-changing amount of money. By life-changing, I mean that it could literally change your life for the better, be it living debt-free, being able to quit your job, having the ability to buy things like new cars and nice a house, or being able to travel whenever you want.
Pennsylvania Match 6: The Pennsylvania Match 6 jackpot often goes above the $2 million mark. The odds of winning are approximately 1-in-4.7-million. Match 6 is about 20 times easier to win than Powerball.
So, there you have it - The three state lotteries that have the best odds of winning. If you live in these states, you're lucky because they offer the best lotto games in the country. If you don't live in any of these three states, take a look at your states games and lottery odds before playing. You could often find the odds on their websites. Choose a game that has decent odds when compared to other games that are offered.
Lottery Cheats - How to Cheat the System and Win!
Choosing the winning numbers in Mega Millions is the key to winning the big prize. Mega Million offers prizes, anything from $2 for matching one number up to $12 million or infinite amounts of money if there have been many rollovers - this is the magic of the lottery. There is no discrimination no matter whom you are, what you do, how often you play, your age, race, gender etc. you can still win the lottery as long as you have a $1 ticket.How do you pick your winning numbers though for the Mega Millions draw? Well there are various ways - some people prefer to pick their numbers by thinking of important things and that includes birthdays, anniversaries and special occasions. Others are more inventive and pick their winning numbers by thinking of telephone numbers, flight numbers, bank numbers, pet related numbers (birthdays, days they acquired them). Some people have dreamt of numbers and made a note of them with the intention of buying a lucky ticket with the numbers; some people have checked their star signs and use astrology to decide which numbers to buy. This includes Chinese astrology and other styles of readings - it depends entirely on your interests.Others prefer and believe that random numbers are the luckiest ways to pick because at the end of the day the lottery is a completely random thing. So some people will pick a set that they have never picked before from week to week. Some people will let the machine pick an easy play selection (the machines will pick a random selection for you) or some people will do their own random selections. Ways to do this include using the internet (there are lots of random number generators) and software that is for choosing lottery numbers. You can also create your own raffle type lottery at home by putting pieces of paper in a box and picking them out yourself so the result is random - sometimes when we think we are picking randomly, we aren't, we are naturally drawn to numbers that have significance to us like birthdays and numbers we perceive to be lucky.Some scientists and people who study lottery numbers think that winning ones are more likely to be random than contrived. The thing with numbers that we play is that most of us are likely to have the same lucky numbers like 7 for example, is universally popular. Picking the same numbers as someone else means that there is more of a chance of sharing out a jackpot prize when it comes to it - this is a reason why you should always keep your numbers to yourself where possible and don't buy the same set of numbers as your best friend because you would be sharing whatever prize there is out there (this is a problem with he jackpot which Is variable). Check with your spouse your lottery numbers aren't the same as this would be a waste of the cost of the ticket.
Winning the MegaMillions lottery is very rewarding. Give this system a spin and watch your winnings grow.

They say the couple that plays together, stays together. Here we have pics of Boston Celtics center Shaquille O'Neal and his reality star concubine, Hoopz, of TV's 'Flava of Love' fame, practicing their circus act.
O'Neal was sidelined with a calf injury during the Celtics sweep of the hapless NY Knicks in round 1 of the NBA playoffs. But he is expected to at least suit up when the Celtics face the Miami Heat for game 1 of the semifinals on Sunday, May 1st in Miami.
If Shaq still can't play by then, maybe Hoopz will sub for him. Look at the guns on her!

In 1524, Italian explorer Giovanni Verrazano happened upon a small island off the northern coast of America. The long somewhat triangular shape reminded Verrazano of the Island of Rhodes off the coast of Greece. He named it Luisa in honor of France's Queen Mother. In 1614, Adriaen Block, a Dutch explorer renamed Luisa Island after himself, Block Island, the name it holds today. A century later, other explorers thought Verrazano was referring to Aquidneck Island and renamed it Rhode Island after Verrazano's description.
In 1635, the first European settlement was established in Rhode Island, but it consisted mostly of the local Narragansett Indians.
In 1636, Roger Williams established the first white European settlement of Providence.
Trending: Science is Settled
In 1663, Williams and other local leaders obtained a royal charter for the colony of Rhode Island and the Providence Planation from King Charles II.
By the mid-1700s, the tiny colony of Rhode Island was prospering more than most of the other colonies. The ports at Providence and Newport were doing a booming business in what was called the triangle-business. They purchased molasses from the West Indies. The distilleries in Rhode Island made rum from the molasses, which they sold to slave traders in West Africa for slaves. They shipped the slaves to the West Indies in exchange for more molasses and the process was repeated over and over.
The ports of Providence and Newport were also homes to privateers and smugglers who helped contribute to the thriving economy.
When Great Britain enacted the Sugar Act of 1764, the merchants in Rhode Island were quite upset. The Sugar Act placed a tax not only on sugar being imported from the West Indies, but it also placed a tax on imported molasses. Due to the proximity to Boston, a number of Rhode Island merchants joined in the Boston protests against the British.
In 1769, angry Rhode Islanders attacked and burned 2 British customs ships, the HMS St. John and HMS Liberty.
In 1772, The Gaspee, a British customs boat that patrolled the waters around Providence, ran aground. A number of Rhode Island merchants and others boarded the Gaspee and destroyed the ship by burning it.
At the same time that Rhode Island was protesting British taxation, they were also proving to be a thorn in the side of the colonial American government. Just as they didn't like paying import taxes to the British, they also didn't like paying similar import duties to colonial America. After all, Rhode Island was prospering and believed that they could stand on their own as an independent entity.
On April 19, 1775, the Revolutionary War between the American colonies and Great Britain started in Lexington, Massachusetts, located a mere 50 miles north of Providence. The Continental Congress was talking about declaring independence from Great Britain.
On this day, May 4, 1776, the colonial leaders of Rhode Island decided not to wait for the Continental Congress and formally declared their own independence from Great Britain. When the Continental Congress did declare independence on July 4, 1776, Rhode Island was still not sure if they wanted to be part of the new American nation or go it on their own. Financially, they were in great shape to go it alone, but others in the colony wanted to be part of America. The conflict between independence and statehood carried on for over a decade. Eventually statehood in the new United States prevailed and Rhode Island, the first colony to declare independence was the last colony to ratify the Constitution of the United States in 1790.

Remembering Stacie Napoli
$66,055 of $50,000 goal
For those of you who may not have heard, it is with great sorrow that we inform you of the unexpected passing of one of our officers with the West Allis Police Department.
On Monday, 02/17/14, Detective Stacie Napoli passed away suddenly and unexpectedly due to complications from child birth. Detective Napoli was 39 years old and a 17 year veteran of the West Allis Police Department, most recently assigned to our Sensitive Crimes Unit.
Funeral arrangements have not been finalized as of this date.
Stacie gave birth to two children who are progressing well.
There has been an outpouring of condolences and support for members of the Police Department as well as family and friends of Stacie. All is greatly appreciated! We have also been receiving numerous inquiries about donations. Anyone wishing to make a donation to Stacie Napoli's family;
Please make checks payable to:
Community Improvement Foundation
Memo: In Memory of Stacie Napoli
Checks should be sent to:
West Allis Police Department
C/O Captain Steve Beyer
11301 W. Lincoln Av.
West Allis, WI 53227
Funeral arrangements will be passed along when they become available.
Please keep Stacie's family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time; she will be greatly missed by all.
Thank you.
Steve Beyer
Captain of Police
West Allis Police Department
Please note that we are currently working with the city of West Allis to provide an alternative to sending funds electronically. By the end of the day today, I hope to have an address and contact information if you would prefer to send a check in lieu of an online donation.
. Stacie Napoli is buried next to my mother Carmella Kurek nee Pipito at Highland Memorial on W. Greenfield Avenue in Lot 18. Knowing my mom they are probably having a good time chatting about their kids and taking rides in the model of her 1968 Firebird she asked to be buried with. There's open space between the two of them where I'd be honored to rest in between them but privacy policies do not allow us to learn who owns the lots or the owner's intentions regarding what they may or may not plan to do with it (them.) On second thought do I really want to be in the middle of two Italian women? :-)
Jeff you and your precious babies Parker and Ellie are in my thoughts and prayers everyday

Reviewed by Kelli H. (age 10)
One part of her diary said, "I don't like the way these boys wave their rifles around. One boy accidentally shot a nine-year old in the neck" Many exciting and sad things happen during their journey. Will Hattie and her family make it to Oregon in one piece or will something horrible happen? Read the book and you'll find out.
I think this book is very interesting. It was serious, funny, sad, and happy. I really enjoyed the book because it's a historic fiction diary from a girl who traveled west. My favorite part was when Hattie told Mrs. Anderson (a lady traveling west) that, "it's a good thing you named your baby after a steamboat because she sure sounds like one".
My favorite character is Mrs. Kinker because she acts all sweet so people like her and then when no one is looking she steals their items. Hattie reminds me of Michelle, my sister, because she's smart and funny, just like Hattie.
I recommend this book because it's an exciting historical adventure. If you're interested in the year 1847 then this is the right book for you.

|St Ives Cornwall Allotment - January
I've finally made it out to my allotment after the Christmas and New Year Festivities.
All is looking fairly neat and tidy - like last year I'm seeing the benefit of the work done in Autumn clearing beds and generally getting things set for a new growing season.
I also still have some crops in the ground.
The weather in Cornwall has been relatively mild as well - which helps.
It felt great walking across the fields and getting out there again.
Green Manure are doing well - providing ground cover and (to some extent) keeping down the weeds.
This will make it easier to clear the ground in March ready for sowing.
The beans will add nitrogen to the soil and when I cut back the plants they will be added to the compost bin.
When the weather gets warmer they my "bolt" - forming flowers and becoming less edible. The flowering causes the plant to form a hard core.
Leek and potato soup will be on the menu - with stock made from our Christmas turkey.
Broad Beans - sown in October - are looking a bit bedraggled - and need some attention. That is normal for this time of year and they should soon recover as Spring approaches. I've had them growing under a net cloche for protection.
I think I made as mistake leaving them under cover for so long. Some have started to rot in the damp. Should have removed the cloche earlier. Now done and the beans are staked up. Some air and sunlight should help them to grow on.
So - all looking pretty good on Allotment With A Sea View - can't wait for Spring!

text: Hello! After I recently upgraded from my G4 mini to a G5 iMac for Photoshop purposes, I have been struggling with my iTunes library. When moving from the mini to the iMac I copied 12GB of music onto CD's. I dragged the contents of the CDs into my iTunes Library folder, and all was added into my Library, in iTunes. Heres the strange part.. NONE of my Music Videos play, ONLY SOME Music tracks play. I get the error message, that I need to authorise my iMac to play these files, as they were purchased from the Music Store. Fair enough I do this. It congratulates me on my authorisation (There must be an error, as I have authorised it so many times I have probably gone past the 5 computer limit tenfold!) The strange thing? 90% of my Purchased Music has authorised fine, I have even purchased off the Store since this has happened, on the new iMac, and they have authorised themselves fine, actually they never asked for authorisation, they just played I'm currently missing my Mary J.

The Bible records that when David was king of Israel he wrote a psalm that said, "Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people. Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works. Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord" (I Chronicles 16:8-10). We can give thanks to God on any day, in any hour!
Gratitude is one of the purest and most effective forms of prayer because it is a recognition of what God has already done for us. The very first chapter in the Bible states that God created all that was made, complete and wholly good (see Genesis, chap. 1). Nothing can be added to what God has done, nor can anything be taken away. This fact is a basis for all gratitude.
Once a crowd of thousands gathered to hear Jesus Christ speak. They were hungry, and there were only a few fish and a few loaves of bread. The Bible says in Matthew, "He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves and the fishes, and gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled" (15:35-37). There must have been many people there who were skeptical that such a scant amount of food could feed so many. Jesus' gratitude showed his recognition that abundant good from God always exists. His spiritual understanding of God also satisfied hearts hungering for more than mere bread.
Again, Jesus broke bread with his disciples at the last supper before he was crucified, encouraging them to follow in his footsteps. The bread he shared was symbolic of his life of service to God and to mankind. Before commanding that all drink from a cup of wine, he gave thanks. One can imagine that Jesus thanked God for the harvest of good he daily bore witness to, and for the workers God had provided so that he could teach them to heal the sick and sorrowing and spread God's word.
Gratitude is both a catalyst and vital ingredient in true healing. In the following healing that happened in my own family, gratitude played an important role.
Our son had been riding a bicycle, holding on to the handlebar while at the same time carrying a bottle in each hand. He fell to the ground, breaking the bottles, and many shards of glass penetrated his arms.
While I helped him into our car, I reminded him that he had never fallen away from God's care or from his spiritual nature as the child of God. From what he'd been taught growing up in our Christian Scientist household, he understood these facts. I drove him to where he could receive the services of a Christian Science nurse, who gently cleansed the wounds of the glass that had come to the surface and then bandaged the wounds. But it was evident that one piece of glass lay completely below the surface.
While driving our son to see the nurse the next day, I thanked God for always taking care of His children, including this boy. I recognized God as the real Father and Mother of all. I praised God for keeping the boy pure and free from adulteration of any sort. I knew that the real healing needed at this time was for us to draw closer to God. When she changed the bandages, the nurse found that the piece of glass had been expelled from the arm. We recognized the healing action that had taken place during my few moments of gratitude to God; before we had left home, a small lump on his arm had shown the glass still completely below the surface.
There is a precious feeling of joy that accompanies thanks giving. In a chapter titled "Glossary," found in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, who discovered Christian Science, gratitude is listed as one description of the term tithe, which means the gift of a tenth part of one's income (p. 595). Gratitude often liberates us from feeling limitation in our lives. The giving of sincere gratitude doesn't cost a cent, but it does enable us to recognize more easily that God loves each one of us. This heals and is cause for great joy.
You can find other articles that discuss prayer in a weekly magazine, the Christian Science Sentinel.

Medium-Chain Triglyceride Benefits: The Hard Science.
Part 1: Can MCT be stored as fat?
Note: Laurin is pure CocoMCT: Medium Chain Triglycerides plus Lauric Oil, all drawn from and representing the very best of coconut oil. In the series of articles that begins with this article we will draw on hard scientific research to show the health benefits that come from MCT, which comprises the majority of the oil that makes up Laurin.
The health benefits of Medium Chain Triglycerides (henceforth, MCT) are well-publicized all over the Internet, whether in conjunction with coconut oil or by themselves. In turn, the frequent repetitions of these benefits draw occasional challenges from critics. It doesn't help that these health benefits are often presented without citing any specific studies or references, giving people the impression that the MCT is presented just like "snake oil", and is just as baseless.
In this four-part series we will refer to solid studies in favour of MCT. In the first part we will refer to proofs that taking MCT is not stored as fat, or at least only in negligible amounts that are ultimately outweighed by the overall weight reduction that MCT can cause. In the second part we will refer to proofs that MCT can help manage obesity and adipose tissue (in other words, body fat) and assist in weight reduction. The third will be about MCT's ability to enhance brain health. The fourth will focus on MCT's ability to help Alzheimer's patients.
MCT and Adipose Tissue (Fat Deposits):
That MCT aids in the reduction or management of obesity is beyond challenge, and may be considered as established fact. Before we go on to the different aspects of how it helps manage obesity, we need to deal with the basic question: is MCT itself stored as harmful fat? The answer: MCT is not stored as fat, or at least is stored only in very small amounts that do no harm. The reason is explained by a prestigious reference work on lipids, published in 2012:
When absorbed directly, MCTs enter the blood circulatory system through the portal vein and carried to the liver where they are oxidized to ketones. This is because in the mitochondria, transport of MCTs does not require carnitine palmitoyl transferase, a rate-limiting enzyme of b-oxidation. The mostly catabolic fate of MCFAs is evident by the fact that dietary MCTs reduce blood triglyceride levels during human intervention trials. Thus, dietary MCTs induce thermogenesis and do not contribute to weight gain since they are not deposited in the adipose tissue. This has been demonstrated in diet intervention trials involving hypertriglyceridemic human subjects where MCTs reduced body mass index, hip circumference, waist-hip ratio, total abdominal fat, visceral fat, body fat mass, and waist circumference. MCT diets also reduced blood levels of several types of LDL as well as LDL-cholesterol to greater extent than traditional oil that contained long-chain triglycerides. Therefore, MCTs may be used as a means of preventing and treatment of obesity, though the exact molecular mechanism of action has not been fully elucidated apart from the thermogenic effects. (Aluko 2012: 24)
A Japanese medical article published in 2001 states more succinctly:
Medium-chain triacylglycerols (MCT), composed of medium-chain fatty acids such as octanoic and decanoic acids, are readily hydrolyzed by lingual and gastric lipases. The medium chain fatty acids formed are absorbed through the portal system without resynthesis of triacylglycerol in intestinal cells, are subjected predominantly to b-oxidation in the liver, and are not stored as fat. Consequently, MCT constitute a good energy source for patients with pancreatic insufficiency and fat malabsorption as well as preterm infants with pancreatic juice and bile acid insufficiency (Tsuji et. al 2001: 2853)
Octanoic refers to C8 (which we more frequently refer to as caprylic acid) while decanoic would refer to C10 (which we more frequently refer to as capric acid).
An older article even gives to MCT the appellation "fatless fats", because they are, at the very least, not stored well by the body:
MCT and MCFA reveal distinct physicochemical and metabolic properties when compared to LCT and LCFA (4). Schematically, the former lipids either follow specific and shorter pathways or undergo more rapidly the same converting steps as those taken by the latter. As a result, MCT appear as an unconventional fat and are proposed for use either in oral/enteral nutrition when the digestion, absorption, or transport of LCT is impaired or in parenteral nutrition when a rapid energy supply is desired. These aspects are in keeping with studies showing that the fatty acids delivered by MCT are abundantly oxidized and poorly stored within tissues. As a logical application of these observations, the claim that MCT formulas might contribute to the control of body weight in human subjects has been repeatedly emphasized over the last decades, more especially as MCT were regarded as "light fats" and even as "fatless fats". (Bach 1996: 708-709)
The Nutrition Review in an article published in 2013 that exhibits the same caution as the 1996 article, while adding that its overall impact is to enhance the burning of body fat deposits:
In addition to their lower caloric content than LCTs, MCTs are not stored in fat deposits in the body as much as LCTs. Furthermore, MCTs have been shown to enhance thermogenesis (i.e., fat burning). So MCTs seem to offer a triple approach to weight loss – they (1) have a lower calorie content than other fats, (2) are minimally stored as fat, and (3) contribute to enhanced metabolism to burn even more calories. (Dean and English 2013: Paragraph 6)
Perhaps the best scientific article directly dealing with MCT and body fat is "The application of medium-chain fatty acids, edible oil with a suppressing effect on body fat accumulation", published in the Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2008. Although the article as a whole pushes for a synthetic product that merely incorporates the goodness of MCT, it admits that MCT by itself has a positive effect when it comes to helping alleviate obesity. The most important passages are in the 2nd and 3rd pages of the study (pp. 321-322). It is impressive that the article speaks on the "body fat accumulation-suppressing effect" of MCT. This is stronger than saying that MCT assists in dieting or in weight loss, or that it is not stored as fat. This finding makes it clear that, whether MCT is stored (in very small amounts) in the body or not, its overall effect is to reduce body fat, not add to it:
MCT is less accumulated as body fat than general edible oil which consisted in LCT in laboratory animals, suggesting that MCT prevents obesity, being useful for the prevention of lifestyle-related disorders. However, the suppression of body fat accumulation by MCT had not been fully clarified in humans. Thus, we performed a large-scale study on the body fat accumulation suppressing effect of MCT in humans. A double-blind study was performed in healthy subjects under strict dietary management). Seventy-eight subjects slightly fatter than the average (mean BMI=24.7) ate bread containing 14 g of the test oil daily as breakfast. A total of more than 10,000 lunches and suppers were prepared so that the subjects ate identical meals for 12 weeks. Eating between meals and beverages were also controlled, and the subjects were strictly controlled to ingest 2200 kcal/day containing 60 g of lipids. For body fat measurement, the air displacement method was used for accuracy. In the subjects with a BMI of 23 or higher (slightly fat), the body weight loss was larger in the MCT ingestion group than in the common edible oil ingestion group. (Aoyama 2008: 321)
MCT is rapidly digested and absorbed, and suppresses body fat accumulation. (Aoyama 2008: 322)
We have now established that there is enough basis in the publicly-available scientific literature to state that MCT is not stored as fat, and even suppresses body fat accumulation. In the following articles we will show how MCT aids in weight loss and, perhaps more importantly, how it enhances brain health and helps combat diseases such as Alzheimer's.

In the last five years the power conversion efficiency of solar cells made with perovskite semiconductors has soared from less than 7% to over 22%. Only four other families of semiconductors have ever reached this efficiency. Perovskites are very attractive compared to those families because they can be deposited from solution at low cost and they have the right bandgaps to be used in tandem solar cells. In tandems one semiconductor harvests the photons in the solar spectrum that have higher energy and generates a large voltage while another semiconductor harvests the photons with lower energy. Using this strategy makes it possible to improve the efficiency by approximately 50%. In this seminar I will discuss:
Michael D. McGehee is a Professor in the Materials Science and Engineering Department at Stanford University and a Senior Fellow of the Precourt Institute for Energy. His research interests are developing new materials for smart windows and solar cells. He has taught courses on nanotechnology, nanocharacterization, organic semiconductors, polymer science and solar cells. He received his undergraduate degree in physics from Princeton University and his PhD degree in Materials Science from the University of California at Santa Barbara, where he did research on polymer lasers in the lab of Nobel Laureate Alan Heeger. He won the 2007 Materials Research Society Outstanding Young Investigator Award. He is a technical advisor to Next Energy, PLANT PV, and Sinovia and his former students have started more than ten companies.

A: Windows authorization always deals with two entities - as illustrated in Figure 1: a subject and an object that the subject wants to access.
A subject can be a security principal, such as a user, computer, or application. The object can be file resources hosted on a file server, printer queues on a print server, Active Directory (AD) objects in the AD database on a Domain Controller (DC), or any other object that's kept in a Windows IT infrastructure. Authorization between the subject and the object is governed and enforced by a third entity that is referred to as the reference monitor. In Windows OSs, this third entity is called the Security Reference Monitor (SRM). The SRM is the authorization authority on a Windows box. It is a process that runs in the highly privileged OS kernel mode and that checks all access to resources located on a Windows system.
Windows Authorization and the SRM deal with access to visible Windows objects, such as files, printers, registry keys, and AD objects, and with access to less visible objects, such as system processes and threads. Authorization also controls the ability to perform system-related tasks, such as changing the system time or shutting down the system. Microsoft calls these system-related tasks user rights.
Under the hood the Windows authorization model in is based on the key concepts of access tokens, access masks, security descriptors, and impersonation. Figure 2 shows how these concepts are brought together.
The figure shows how, upon every object access, the SRM checks the access token and the access mask against an object's security descriptor. The access token and access mask are both linked to a process that impersonates a user. Here's a closer look at the terms involved:
· Impersonation means that a process acts on behalf of a user.
· The access token contains a user's access control data such as group memberships and user rights.
· The access mask tells the SRM what the process wants to do with the resource (for example, reading a file or writing to a file). At the end of the authorization decision making process, the SRM returns another access mask, called the "granted" access mask to inform the process of what it can do with the resource.
· The security descriptor of an object tells the SRM who can do what with this particular object.
In the Windows authorization model, a user never accesses a resource directly—there's always a server process that acts on behalf of a user. This process is known in Windows terminology as impersonation. When a process impersonates a user, it means that it runs in the security context of the user and that it uses the user's authorization attributes.
To allow Windows to associate a user's authorization data (the user's rights and group memberships) with every process that's started by the user, Windows uses an object called the access token. Access tokens are linked to a user's logon session. They're generated on every machine that the user logs on to. An access token is always local to a machine and never travels across the network. The OS component that generates access tokens is the Local Security Authority (LSA). Besides the user's domain authorization data (stored in AD), an access token also contains the user's local authorization data. The latter is the authorization data that are stored in a system's local security database (the SAM): they include a user's local group memberships and local user rights. To look at the content of your Windows access token (including group memberships and user rights), you can use the whoami tool with the /all switch.
The main authorization attribute on the object side is called a security descriptor. A security descriptor tells the authorization system who can do what with the object. Every object that has a security descriptor linked to it is called a securable object. Securable objects can be shared between different users, and every user can have different authorization settings. Examples of securable objects include a file, a folder, a file system share, a printer, a registry key, an AD object, and a service. The security descriptor of a file system object is stored in the NTFS file system. The security descriptor of an AD object is stored in the object's nTSecurityDescriptor attribute. Note that the nTSecurityDescriptor attribute is also replicated to the Global Catalog, which ensures that access to AD objects will be secured even if the object is replicated outside its domain boundary to GCs in other domains.
Every object's security descriptor contains a set of Access Control Lists (ACLs). An ACL is composed of multiple Access Control Entries (ACEs)—an ACE is also referred to as a permission. An ACE links a security identity (SID) to an access right (for example, read, write, delete, execute). Typical examples of permissions are "Joe can read the monthly expense claim report," or "Alice can print on the human resource department printer." In a security descriptor, an access right is represented using a hexadecimal value called the access mask.
Every security descriptor contains two types of ACLs: discretionary and system ACLs.
· Discretionary ACLs (DACLs) contain ACEs that are set by the owner of an object. They are called discretionary because their content is set at the object owner's discretion. Ownership is a key concept in the Windows security model. It's a very powerful concept because the owner of an object is always granted the right to manage the object's permissions. By default, the object owner is the Windows user account that created the object. In the case in which a domain administrator or a member of the local administrators group creates an object, by default the Domain Admins or Administrators groups become the object owner. To look at an object's discretionary ACLs from the Windows GUI, you typically use the ACL editor, which you can access from the Security tab in an object's properties. To look at the DACLs of a file system object from the command prompt, you can use the cacls tool.
· System ACLs (SACLs) contain an object's auditing settings and are set by an administrator. They're non-discretionary—they're not related in any way to the owner of an object. To look at an object's SACL from the Windows GUI, you use the ACL editor.
In addition to the DACLs and SACLs, an object's security descriptor also contains two other fields:
· The Owner SID field, which holds the SID of the owner of the object.
· The Primary group SID field, which holds the SID of the object owner's primary group that is used for Posix and Macintosh access control management compatibility.

My Husband Says He Hates Me! How to Get Him to Love You Again
It's amazing, isn't it? Marriage is rarely exactly what you envision it to be the day you make your vows to the man you love. On that day you imagine that you two are completely different than any other couple that has ever walked down the aisle towards wedded bliss. You imagine that your partner is unlike any other man who has ever been married. You predict that your life will be filled with long nights of compassionate talking and sharing and few, if any, arguments. Once that fairytale bubble has popped and you and your husband are living through the stresses and challenges that every married couple faces you soon realize that marriage is hard work. If you're a woman who is now saying, "my husband says he hates me," it's time to evaluate the dynamic of your marriage and what you can do to change things so you and your husband are closer and more emotionally connected to one another.
If your husband says he hates you it's vitally important that you consider the context in which he said those words to you. They are obviously very hurtful and strong words and it's important to be clear about what was driving him to share those feelings with you. If you two were embroiled in a heated argument before he said it, that's important to consider. Many people don't have the ability to filter what they say before they say it, especially in the heat of the moment. If he said it during an argument consider that he only used those particular words as a way to lash out at you and to hurt you.
It's important to share with your husband how deeply his words impacted you. Talk to him calmly about what you are feeling and how difficult it's been since he told you he hated you. He may be surprised to learn that you absorbed the words in such a strong way especially if he only said them in verbal retaliation during a spat. He likely doesn't even realize the emotional turmoil you're in at the moment so it's important that you share that with him.
Talk with him about what changes you both can make so the marriage is more enriching and satisfying for each of you. Listen carefully to his thoughts as well as his criticisms. It's hard to hear negative feedback from your spouse but it can be instrumental in changing your marriage so it has a fighting chance.
At the same time look at and evaluate your own behavior within the marriage. If you have been doing things that you know bother your husband, change your ways. If you've taken to nagging him because you feel he doesn't listen to you, stop that immediately. As much as we as women hate to admit when we're wrong it's essential that you do take ownership of your flaws and work to change them.
Don't spend another day wishing your marriage was different. If you want your husband to treat you differently, make it happen. You can have the deeply connected, fulfilling relationship you've always wanted.
Experience what it feels like to have a husband who will do anything and everything for you by clicking here.

Here is my row of blocks for a soldiersangels quilt. We want to make 100 this year. The guild made 62 in 09. I figure if we make 8-9 a month we should reach that goal. This is machine applique - a method I want to work with this year to get better at it.
This measures 12/12 by 48 1/2" . Hope it has the Americana feel to it.

5 Reasons Cheese Curls Are Better than Cheese Balls
When it comes to selecting a bright-orange, synthetic cheese-covered cornmeal snack with which to fill your bowl, there really is only one choice: cheese puffs. Although, indeed, there are some cheese ball enthusiasts out there, I contend that a puff-centric Super Bowl party will be vastly superior to one in which those little orbs run rampant.
So lick the powder off your fingers, and read these five reasons why puffs outscore balls every single time.
1. Doodles are easier to grip.
Eating a cheese ball isn't natural. You either have to slowly feed one at a time into your mouth, gobble a fistful at once like an animal, or hold on to it while nibbling like it's the world's tiniest apple. None of these options are very dignified! Enter: the cheese puff. Each one is long enough that you can hold one end while eating the other, and finish the whole thing in two easy bites.
2. There's more cheese powder to lick off your fingers.
What's the best thing about puffed cheese snacks? It's not the taste, texture, or mascots (sorry, Chester Cheetah) — it's the orange powder that invariably sticks to your fingers. And when it comes to the puffs-versus-balls debate, the puff's greater surface area equals more artificial cheese to lick off.
3. There's a greater variety of puffs.
Cheddar, white cheddar, honey BBQ, extreme, and something called "queso habanero" — those are just a few flavors from one brand of puffs. Now, what about cheese balls? Oh yeah, there's "cheese ball" flavor, and white cheddar ... if you can find it.
4. Cartman loves them.
As any South Park fan can tell you, snack-loving brat Cartman loves "Cheesy Poofs," which are a variety of cheese puffs. He loves them so much, in fact, that he wrote a whole song about them. If you can't trust Cartman when it comes to junk-food eating, who can you trust?
5. Those giant vats of cheese balls are a bit extreme.
I don't know about you, but I just can't bring myself to buy something edible in a giant plastic bucket. Even if cheese puffs came in a bucket (and they don't, for good reason!), I wouldn't buy one. Snack food should come in a vacuum-sealed bag the way Mother Nature intended!
Agree or disagree? Hash it out in the comments! (Although I'd prefer if you agreed with me!)

It's hard to forget the famously incorrect "Dewey Defeats Truman" headline from the 1948 presidential election. Heading into the 2012 election, the potential for errors to spread is greater than ever before— largely because of social media.
While social media enhances our reporting, it also forces us to think more carefully about where we get our information, how to verify it and how to balance accuracy with speed in a 24/7 news cycle.
Here are six new social media errors journalists could make on Election Day, and tips for avoiding them.
Going rogue
Journalists and voters will use social media more this year than in any years past to spread and obtain information about the elections. To prevent mistakes, set expectations before Election Day. If your newsroom already has a social media policy, use it to guide your conversation. Here are some questions to discuss ahead of time:
- How can staffers use social media to their advantage when covering the election?
- Should staffers avoid making predictions on social networks?
- Can staffers say who they voted for, or share their opinion about the winning candidate?
- Are staffers expected to verify information before they post it on social networks?
- What system, if any, does your newsroom have for verifying information on social networks?
- What about retweets? Are staffers expected to verify voting-related information before retweeting it? The Associated Press has told staffers "not to blindly retweet what others may be saying" about election results on Tuesday night.
Here's a helpful Atlantic piece on how to tweet responsibly during a breaking news event.
Falling for fake/anonymous accounts
Be wary of retweeting information from fake or anonymous accounts. During Hurricane Sandy, journalists were fooled by an anonymous account, @ComfortablySmug, which was tweeting incorrect information about the storm. One of the incorrect tweets — about the New York Stock Exchange being flooded — was retweeted 650 times.
Earlier this year, journalists fell for fake accounts for political news analyst Cokie Roberts, North Carolina Governor Bev Perdue, former New York Times Public Editor Arthur Brisbane, and Wendi Deng, wife of Rupert Murdoch.
Here are some tips for identifying fake and/or anonymous accounts when covering the election:
- Look at the Twitter bio. If there's not a name associated with it, be cautious.
- If a location is indicated in the bio, consider whether the information lines up. If the bio says the person behind the account is located in Colorado, and they're tweeting photos of breaking news on the East Coast, that should raise a red flag.
- If you're curious about an account's tweets, try DM'ing or @'ing the person behind it to find out more.
- Be especially skeptical of tweets that say "BREAKING NEWS" or use journalistic language if they're not from a journalist or a news organization.
- Bottom line: Do some quick research before spreading information from an account you're not familiar with.
Spreading fake photos, false information
It's easy to get fooled by photos on social networks during breaking news situations. Jim Roberts of The New York Times recently tweeted: "On spotting Twitter photo fakes, common sense & skepticism go a long way."
If you're asking voters to send you photos or updates from their polling places, don't assume all the photos you get are real; if they seem too good to be true, they probably are.
Here are some resources for verifying photos and other content on social networks:
- Three ways to tell if an image has been manipulated
- How to verify information from social media in real-time
- How to verify — & when to publish — news accounts posted on social media
- How to tweet responsibly during breaking news situations
- A new site called "Is Twitter wrong?"
- How CNN's iReport verifies its citizen content
Misinterpreting social media sentiment
When tracking political events on social networks, it's easy to draw conclusions about what the posts mean. Avoid doing this when covering the election, and remember that not everyone uses social networking sites.
Only 16 percent of U.S. adults who use the Internet are on Twitter, and their views aren't representative of the whole. A recent Pew study pointed out that the people most likely to use social networks to post information about politics tend to be further from the center — liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans.
For more information about how to add context to — and understand — social media sentiment, read this piece by my colleague Regina McCombs.
Moving too quickly
The news cycle is more accelerated than ever, largely because of social media. Some news organizations that have moved too quickly in the past have spread misinformation during major news stories.
Journal Register Company's Jim Brady made a good point after journalists spread incorrect reports about Joe Paterno's death: "If you're right and first, no one remembers. If you're first and wrong, everyone remembers."
When you start to hear news about winning candidates, ask yourself: Where is this information coming from, and how do I know it's true? You can let your audience know you're in the loop by tweeting/posting something along these lines: "X is reporting Y, but we haven't yet confirmed the reports." Or, "We are working on this story and will tweet updates as soon as we have them." or "Here's what we do know…" This will send a message to your audience that you are committed to accuracy.
Failing to correct errors on social media
If you do spread misinformation online, take steps to correct it. Data has shown that incorrect information travels faster on Twitter than corrections. Because Twitter doesn't have a correction tool, it's up to journalists and news organizations to correct the information — and make sure as many people see it as possible.
Tweet the corrected information more than once, and use Topsy or WhoTweetedMe.com to identify the most influential people who tweeted the incorrect information. Reach out to them on Twitter and let them know about the correction so they can help spread the word about it. Also, make sure to correct errors not just on social media, but on all platforms where the news circulated. Here are some additional thoughts on how journalists can do a better job correcting errors on social media.
Mistakes happen, but if your news organization has a social media plan in place, you'll be much less likely to make them.

Water faucets here don't seem to have regulators for the hot water. I've burned my hands and body more than once.
Also, public bathrooms always seem to have only cold water. And 90% of girls I come across either don't wash their hands or only rinse them quickly. (pet peeve…don't get me sick during finals.)
And Dutch people (students) fill up their water bottles from bathroom sinks. I've never tasted the water. I'm sure it's fine. But from a public bathroom is a bit much for me.

Course Costs & VET FEE-HELP
The Praxis course fees are $16,600 over two years.
The government has proposed changes to the VET FEE-HELP scheme that prevent Praxis students from accessing these loans. The result of this decision is that any 1st year students in 2017 would have to pay the full fee amount themselves. We recognise that very few potential students would be able to manage these costs and so are resigned to not running a Year 1 group in 2017. Our plan is to work with our existing students through 2017 while at the same time exploring other avenues to make the course financially viable so that we can enrol a new cohort in 2018. Stay tuned!
Student Expense Contribution
Students will also be required to pay $800 each year to help cover the cost of their text books, Block Course food and accommodation costs. This amount is highly subsidised by Praxis as we attempt to keep the cost to students as low as possible. Students are able to pay this in a lump sum or regular instalments over the year.
Student Allowances - Youth Allowance, Austudy & Abstudy
Youth Allowance, Austudy & Abstudy are payments made to students if they are studying full-time and otherwise eligible. If you are studying with Praxis you qualify as full-time. They have different criteria for eligibility and rates of payment. You need to go to the Centrelink website to check these.

Oddly enough, there is also a separate community within Friendship Village known as the Village of Friendship Heights. This is very confusing!
The Maryland version of Friendship Heights owes its beginnings to a "friendship grant" given to colonists in 1725. Naturally, the same holds true for its DC sibling. Back in the day, the area was known for tobacco plantations. And then around 1900, a streetcar line from Georgetown arrived, at which point the community began to develop further.
But our Maryland version was slower to develop—a few houses here and there, and then the above-mentioned forming of the Village of Friendship Heights subset, which was founded in 1914. For more information about Friendship Heights, MD homes for sale, contact us today!

Everything You Ever Needed to Know About Pork Cuts
Learn more about different cuts by clicking the parts of the pig!
The head of a pig might seem somewhat gruesome and repulsive, especially when detached from the animal and sitting as the centrepiece on a buffet. As a cut though, you might be surprised at the amount of meat available from a pig's head, including its tongue and ears.
You can boil a whole head and pick the cooked meat. It is usually a roasted head that finds its way on to a buffet, but the meat can also be used in soups and stews. Brawn, or head cheese, is a traditional recipe of pig's head set in its own jelly. The idea of preparing and cooking a pig's head might put a lot of people off, but it tends to win in a flavour competition against pork loin and chops.
Head meat makes terrine, paté and burgers. The ears make pork scratchings and the snout makes soup. The tongue is a real delicacy, but slow cooked it is tender and has intense flavour.Browse pork specialities
"Glorious" and "the best cut of pork you have never seen for sale" is how pig neck meat has been described. This is a muscled cut, with more fat than the shoulder and sometimes referred to as the collar.
Neck is a convenient and economical ingredient for making stocks, soups and stews. Slow cooking allows the intramuscular fat to melt, producing delicious meat that is moist and tender. It is ideal for grilling, braising and slow, smokey barbecuing.Browse this cut
The nearer the head, the sweeter and more succulent the meat. Shoulder is one of the best roasting joints and, if you love crackling, the dry skin and layer of fat is one of the best for this crispy delight.
Pork shoulder is a complex combination of muscles, connective tissues, sinew and fat that extends from the spine to the elbow of the front leg. It is full of flavour, inexpensive and ideal not only for roasting, but also slow cooking and barbecuing.Browse this cut
It is not possible to discuss pig and not indulge in the mouth-watering prospect of a traditional English breakfast. Not to forget the role of hens, but immense gratitude goes to the animal that contributes the most to this one of the greatest of pleasures – the Fry Up. It is loin meat that is cured to make back bacon.
Bone-in racks of meat look impressive and that is certainly true of a pork loin roast. Two racks tied together in a circle are a "crown" roast. Loin cuts are high up on the back and are the primary muscles along the spine.
It is a moderately tough cut of pork with a good deal of connective tissue, but roasted properly it is satisfyingly tender and juicy – the prime rib of pork.Browse this cut
What is the cure for vegetarianism? A bacon sandwich. It doesn't really come as a surprise that in a recent poll of Britain's best-loved foods, bacon was number one. It is the reason why weak-willed vegetarians give up. So why are we talking about bacon in the tenderloin section? Because although Britain loves bacon, as the name suggests, tenderloin is the most tender, leanest and perhaps the highest demand pork meat of all.
Each pig has two and there are never enough. Loin and tenderloin look different and are not cut from the same part of the animal. It is boneless, delicately flavoured and should be cooked quickly on a grill, seared, roasted or stir fried. In essence, it is the fillet of pork.Browse this cut
As with lamb, chump means rump and is positioned at the rear of the loin. Chump steak should be cooked either fast and furious by pan frying or grilling, or alternatively, slowly in a hotpot. Chump chops are more generous than those from the loin. Thinly sliced, they make fantastic escalopes, pork cordon bleu or cubed and marinated can find their way onto a BBQ skewer.Browse pork steak
"He that but looketh on a plate of ham and eggs to lust after it hath already committed breakfast with it in his heart." C.S Lewis
The hind leg is one of the four primal cuts of pork, with the other three being loin, shoulder and belly. You can have leg joints, steaks, escallops and diced meat for kebabs, but the vast majority of legs of pork go for curing to make hams. Mmm...ham and mustard sandwiches. Cooked ham is incredibly versatile, is eaten cold frequently and at its highest price is called Prosciutto.
Before the modern phenomenon of electronic junk mail, ham had found its way into a processed meat called Spam. No one really knows if it is a contraction of spiced ham, an acronym for 'shoulders of pork and ham' or 'special processed American meat.' Whatever the case, there is a funny Monty Python sketch...Browse this cut
You don't often hear of a Stanley knife in the context of kitchen implements. However, if you love pork belly with good crackling, the Stanley knife is the best tool for scoring the tough skin with deep, closely spaced cuts – this is vital to allow the heat to penetrate the fat, which then bubbles up through the cuts to baste the top.
Pork belly is often made into bacon by dry curing or brining and then smoking. It can also be made into sausage and panchetta. Chefs view pork belly as superior to bacon. The juicy layers of fat make this cut meltingly tender and similar in texture to pork loin.Browse this cut
Spare ribs come from the belly side of the pig's rib cage, but there is nothing spare about spare ribs. They are a staple of American diners and Chinese cuisine, because properly prepared they are succulently tasty.
The term "spare ribs" is a Middle English corruption (via "sparrib") of "rippspeer", a Low German term that referred to a rack of meat being turned on a spit roast.Browse this cut
You could be forgiven for some confusion here - we know pigs have four legs, but a hand? Well, the hand, also known as the hand and spring, is the upper part of the pig's foreleg. It is usually sold boned and rolled as a joint.
The hand is a somewhat unusual looking, triangular cut. Braising ensures a deliciously tender meat. It is a part of the animal that has done some work as it roams around, so it's difficult to carve. It is recommended that the hand of pork is cooked until it just falls off the bone in succulent lumps.Browse this cut
Pork cheeks are exactly what the name implies - the slip of meat in the hollow of the cheek, underneath the animal's eyes. This is a cut of meat that is more unknown than underused. The cheek is relatively lean and very moist.
Why eat facial muscle, made tough from a life spent chewing swill, you might be asking. As is the case with cheaper cuts of meat, fast cooking is not suitable, but slow cooked on a low heat for a long time and the meat breaks down into nuggets of fork tender flesh.Browse this cut
The hock is the lower shank of the leg above the foot. With much more meat and fat than in the foot, the meat is tough with a lot of connective tissue. As is generally true of tough meats, long, slow cooking renders tender, rich, smokey meat that is perfect for soups, stews and vegetables. Hocks are best enjoyed when the meat becomes so tender that it nearly falls away from the bone.Browse this cut
The name of a well known family from Peckham and also the term for pig's feet. Trotters may not seem to be that appetizing, but broken down they are finger licking good finger food! Grilled, deep fried, roasted, poached or braised and the skin becomes crispy with soft, flavourful meat.Browse this cut

Savannah College of Art and Design is often regarded as one of the country's top schools for educating the next generation of graphic designers. Thanks to that reputation, the college's department of graphic design has been growing so much that by 2010, the department had outgrown its main building and was occupying classrooms in other on-campus buildings. (Want an inside look at the San Francisco design scene? Take one of the Studio Tours at HOW Design Live.)
It was time to find a larger space that could accommodate the multiplying student body. But the only viable option was an 18,000-square-foot windowless basement in an industrial warehouse that featured an uneven dirt floor—uninspiring to say the least.
But while the space itself may have been lacking, Martin Smith, who runs the SCAD Design Group, and his team more than made up for it when they started drafting plans to transform the building into a state- of-the-art design facility, which opened to students in the fall of 2011.
The warehouse had been built into a bluff over-looking the Port of Savannah, so the team made the most of the locale and turned old shipping doors into large expanses of windows to bring in the scenery and the sunshine. They also set up collaborative furniture arrangements, created a large presentation room for students to show work, upgraded technology and included an open, multifunctional room that can serve as a gallery or discussion area.
It's a transformation that's almost as inspiring as the work that's being created within its walls every day as aspiring graphic designers are hard at work bringing creativity to life.
- SCAD Museum of Art's space also is turning heads. Check out the results of the $26 million landmark rehabilitation project.

2015 is upon us! With the start of the new year, many companies will hold annual meetings with their employees to reflect on the past year and to plan for the future. Annual meetings offer an opportunity to engage, ignite, and inspire individuals and groups to perform and achieve in the upcoming year.
To ensure that your annual meeting meets your goals and inspires your workforce, incorporate one or more of the five ideas below.
Theme it
Winston Churchill once sent back a pudding, saying that it had no theme. Theming can boost the impact and success of your annual meeting, as it gives direction and links meeting activities together. Think of theming as the heart and soul that gives life to your messaging.
It is important to consider, though, the type of theme for your business. When morale is high, you can be more creative and take larger risks with your theme. Steve Martin, a well-known trainer and keynote speaker, says the best theme he ever witnessed was "A Night at the Oscars." Teams were tasked ahead of time with creating videos that depicted a day in the life of their role.
In less high-spirited times, consider themes that inspire growth, such as "Better, Stronger, Faster" or "Agents of Change." And if your business is going through a merger or acquisition, choose themes that promote teamwork, such as "Winning Together" or "Connect, Collaborate, Differentiate."
Build a Tower, Build a Team
Annual meetings are prime opportunities to foster collaboration among teams. Select a team-building activity to match the demographics of your participants. For example, a team of recent college graduates might relate well to an outdoor challenge while more experienced staff may engage better with a problem solving or business simulation activity. Present teams with a challenge; ask them to build something representative of the organization, its history, or its future; or pose a problem to solve, providing clues to success in each presentation.
Peter Skillman and Tom Wujec are the masters behind the "marshmallow tower" exercise used with many Fortune 50 companies. This exercise gives teams of four 18 minutes to create the tallest possible freestanding structure using only four components: 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow (which has to be on top). It sounds simple, and perhaps a bit silly to some, but remarkable learning comes through the planning, collaboration, and decision making that is needed to produce a tower that stands tall.
Stimulate the Senses
We live in a fast-moving world with media all around us competing for our attention. Take advantage of technology to engage your audience. Use music, video, multimedia presentations, photo collages, lighting, and sound effects to reinforce your messaging or introduce activities. Be sure your media choice supports but does not overwhelm your message. Use slide presentations sparingly; set ground rules with speakers to use no more than five slides each.
The research tells us that people are usually able to focus for 20 minutes at a time. Use this guideline to switch up your presentations. Change presentation approaches by using Q&A, a panel discussion, small group breakouts, mini-breaks, team presentations, exercises, feedback, and voting.
Make It a Game
Today's employees enjoy the challenges and overcoming the obstacles presented in electronic games. Consider including simulations, business games, and competitions throughout your meeting. Challenge your employees mentally or even consider adding an appropriate level of physical activity in the games.
Oftentimes critical learning elements are hidden within games. For example, hold a Quiz Show in which employees answer questions on a certain topic for points or prizes. Opt for a mix of questions that stimulate laughter and learning simultaneously. Create a game to support your meeting theme, such as the "Amazing Race to the Top."
Tell the Story
For centuries, human beings have used storytelling to convey the meaning of concepts and ideas. We use stories to explain how things work, to help us make decisions, to understand our place in the world, and to create our identities, both as individuals and as organizations.
Harness the power of storytelling in your annual meeting. Craft the story of your organization and its vision—where you have been and where you are going. Ask individuals to share their success stories and their visions for their teams through the use of analogies, pictures, and images. Using stories, identify behaviors to emulate. Invite your top performers to be interviewed in a talk show program format by an experienced moderator. Panels of this nature are usually an effective way to convey stories around best practices and lessons learned.
