Watson's name came up again this week in rumors about the role after the German branch of the online hacker group Anonymous claimed documents they posted recently were from German studio Constantin Film, according to ABC News. One document featured Watson's name on a wish list for the role of Anastasia Steele.
However, the book's author, E.L. James, dismissed casting rumors on her official Twitter account on Friday, March 15.
"There have been no casting decisions made about 'Fifty Shades,'" she wrote.
That statement reflects what Focus Features, the studio behind the adaptation, told Entertainment Weekly on Friday. The studio told the entertainment outlet that casting has not begun for the film and that Constantin Film is not involved in the making of the project.
"Fifty Shades of Grey," by James, is the first of a trilogy about a sadomasochistic relationship between wealthy businessman Christian Grey and college student Anastasia Steele. It is a New York Times best-selling novel.
Recently, supermodel Kate Moss read an excerpt from the racy novel live on BBC's Radio 1 to help raise money for the British charity Comic relief.
Meanwhile, 22-year-old Watson might just shed her good girl "Harry Potter" image with a role in the upcoming film "The Bling Ring." The movie is based on the true story of a group of celebrity-obsessed teens who broke into the homes of several stars such as Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton.
Watson plays a burglar named Nicki, which is not the name of any of the real-life suspects, but is allegedly based on one of the burglars. The film was directed by Sofia Coppola and is due out on June 14.

Spectator Amateur Press Society
The Spectator Amateur Press Society, or SAPS, is an Amateur Press Association. It was founded in 1947 by members of a local New Jersey science fiction club called the Spectators. The members were all young SF fans who viewed the already existing Fantasy Amateur Press Association as "stuffy, self-centered, self-important and dictatorial." As founding member Joe Kennedy (later well-known as poet X.J. Kennedy) also wrote, "The concept of a brand new apa which would throw its gates wide open to the new fans is an idea with intriguing possibilities. It might not be literary, it might not be intellectual, two-thirds of its publications might stink to high heaven, but it would probably be a heck of a lot of fun."
SAPS is the second oldest of the APAs in science fiction fandom. When it was founded in 1947, its membership was limited to 25 and its dues to 25¢ every six months in order to be affordable to the younger fans. At times the membership limit has been raised as high as 40, but with a general falling off in interest in traditional print apas (thanks largely to the internet), it's once again at 25. From the outset mailings have been issued quarterly, with deadlines on the 15th of January, April, July and October. The minimum activity requirement (minac) is 6 pages every other mailing, with initial activity to be in the first mailing of membership. SAPS has maintained this requirement since its founding, and it's led to a more interactive pace than its older cousin, FAPA, where minac is on an annual basis.
The group has only one elected official, the Official Editor (OE), who keeps track that minac is produced, dues paid on time, and mailings are sent out in timely fashion. An "emergency officer" appointed by the OE takes over if for any reason the OE is impeded from performing his or her duties.
The first Official Editor for SAPS was Ron Maddoz. Other Official Editors for SAPS have been:
- Ron Maddox (1947)
- Walter Coslet
- F.M. Busby and Elinor Busby
- Wrai Ballard
- Howard DeVore
- Nan Gerding
- Karen Anderson
- Doreen Webbert and Jim Webbert
- Dick and Nicki Lynch
- Art Rapp and Nancy Share Rapp
- Bernard Toskey (1988 -)

CyanogenMod has been one of the most popular mods on Android for some time, with Steve Kondik's impressive redesign of stock Android gaining huge support by tech-heavy users.
Now the team is back with a new thirty second teaser video of Nemesis, which we believe is an update or new design for Android. The teaser is very short, both in time and on details and Cyanogen reveals little more than questions.
The words 'Nothing can be perfect, things can get better' seems to push on the idea of an update to CyanogenMod, possibly with more refining. We then have to question what Nemesis could be, is it a simple update or could it be a whole new mod by Cyanogen.
All these questions are already being asked on CyanogenMod's Google+ page, where we will wait in ernest until news about Nemesis is revealed. CyanogenMod never gives solid dates on when we will see the next update, so it could be next month or next year.

A. General Concepts
In This Section You Will Learn:
- contents of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS);
- differences between specific and generic EISs;
- information on preparing stages of an EIS (draft, final and supplemental); and,
- general procedures to go from a draft EIS to a final EIS.
All links to the regulations leave DEC website.
1. What is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)?
An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is a document that impartially analyzes the full range of potential significant adverse environmental impacts of a proposed action and how those impacts can be avoided or minimized. An EIS can be labeled as draft, final, supplemental or generic. A draft EIS is the version of the EIS which the lead agency makes available for public review and comment. In a final EIS, the lead agency responds to the substantive comments or issues identified during the public review period. A lead agency may, under specific circumstances, require a supplemental EIS to address issues that were not addressed or were inadequately addressed in either the draft or final EIS. Finally, a generic EIS may be used to address broad planning questions or multiple sites (see question 3 of this section).
2. What is the purpose of an EIS?
An EIS provides a means for agencies to give early consideration to environmental factors, and assists in the balancing of environmental issues with social and economic considerations in planning and decision making. The EIS systematically considers the full range of potential environmental impacts, along with other aspects of project planning and design. The EIS must identify and analyze significant adverse environmental impacts; evaluate alternatives to avoid one or more of those impacts; and discuss mitigation measures which could minimize identified impacts. EIS procedures also provide the means for public review and comment about a proposed action. SEQR is intended to be integrated into existing agency review procedures so that the preparation of an EIS occurs at the same time that underlying jurisdictional reviews are being undertaken.
3. What is the difference between a site specific or project specific EIS and a generic EIS?
A site or project specific EIS deals with the impacts of a particular action proposed for a specific location at a particular point in time. A site or project specific EIS is the most common type of EIS used during SEQR review.
A second type of EIS is a generic EIS (GEIS). A generic EIS may be appropriate if:
- a number of separate actions are proposed in a given geographic area and which, if considered singly, may have minor effects, but if considered together may have significant adverse environmental impacts;
- a sequence of related or contingent actions is planned by a single agency or individual;
- separate actions share common (generic) impacts; or
- a proposed program or plan would have wide application or restrict the range of future alternative policies or projects.
Information on the generic EIS can be found at 617.10.
4. How long must an EIS be?
There is no set length for an EIS. Accepted EISs have range from as little as ten pages to multiple volumes, depending on the scope and scale of the project and the level of detail needed to properly assess the impacts identified. An EIS should assemble relevant and material facts upon which an agency's decision is to be made. It should identify the essential issues to be decided and must evaluate the range of reasonable alternatives which could avoid one or more of the identified impacts.
EISs should be analytical, concise, and not encyclopedic. Lead agencies are looking for quality analyses, clear writing and comprehensive information. EISs should not contain more detail than is necessary to address the nature and magnitude of the proposed action and the significance of its potential impacts. EISs should address only those specific adverse or beneficial environmental impacts which:
- can be reasonably anticipated;
- have been identified in the scoping process;
- or both.
EISs should be written in plain language that can be read and understood by all. Highly technical material should be summarized in the text of the EIS and, if that technical material must be presented in its entirety, it should be included as an appendix. It is not necessary to include marginal information, or copies of all prior correspondence regarding the project, as a hedge against legal challenge. If an EIS contains much extraneous and unnecessary information, the impact discussion becomes diluted, and the EIS itself becomes less useful.
5. Who prepares an EIS?
A draft EIS may be prepared either by the project sponsor or applicant, or by the lead agency. It is most common for the applicant or project sponsor to prepare the draft EIS. The project sponsor or applicant has the option of preparing the draft EIS, or requesting that the lead agency do so. However, the lead agency has the right to decline to prepare the EIS, and may terminate its review of the proposed project if the applicant or sponsor still declines to prepare the EIS (see 617.9(a)(1)).
A final EIS is the responsibility of the lead agency. The lead agency may prepare the final EIS itself, or request that the project sponsor respond to the substantive comments and submit a preliminary version of the final EIS. The lead agency must review a sponsor's proposed final EIS, and modify it however necessary to ensure that the final EIS represents the lead agency's assessment of the proposed project. A lead agency may also seek advice from other involved agencies and consultants in completing the final EIS.
Draft and final supplemental EISs, if needed, are also usually prepared by the project sponsor at the request of the lead agency. A generic EIS, both draft and final, is most often prepared by the lead agency itself. Under prescribed circumstances, the SEQR rules allow a lead agency to charge back costs of a GEIS to individual applicants within the studied area.
6. Would a draft or supplemental EIS contain more reliable information if it were prepared by the lead agency or an independent third party, rather than the applicant?
Draft and supplemental EISs would probably not be more reliable because applicants or sponsors know best what their original concepts are, and the draft EIS provides the opportunity to present their ideas in relation to identified potential impacts. Regardless of preparer, the draft EIS must meet the minimum content standards for an EIS, conform to the specific scope or content specified by the lead agency, and be accepted as adequate for public review by the lead agency.
During the required public review and comment period, all draft EISs are subject to public scrutiny. Involved agencies and interested parties, therefore, have the opportunity to use their comments on the draft EIS to raise questions about their specific environmental concerns, including their assessment as to whether those concerns were adequately dealt with in the draft EIS. Because responses to all substantive comments on the draft EIS must be included in the final EIS, this public scrutiny helps ensure that all relevant impacts will be adequately addressed during the EIS process. The final EIS is produced by the lead agency, and must provide guidance for all the underlying jurisdictional decisions which must be made by all involved agencies regarding the proposed project.
7. If an involved agency has no environmental concerns about an action for which an EIS is being prepared, may it make an immediate decision on the action?
No. Until a final EIS has been filed, no agency may issue a decision on an action when that agency is aware that any other involved agency has determined that the action may have a significant adverse impact on the environment.
8. Who pays for the preparation of an EIS?
If an applicant prepares an EIS, it is done at the applicant's cost. If there is more than one applicant involved in the overall action, they may share the cost of the EIS preparation. If the EIS relates to a direct agency action and no applicant is involved, the agency bears the cost of its preparation. If an agency agrees to prepare an EIS for an applicant, it may charge for such preparation, but may not charge for subsequent review activities. There is a limit on the amount that a lead agency may charge an applicant for preparation of an EIS (see 617.13 Fees and Costs).
9. Who determines the adequacy of a draft EIS?
The lead agency determines the adequacy of a draft EIS prior to its release for public review. (See section 5-D: Review of Draft EISs)
10. What requirements are there for attaching DEIS hearing transcripts to the FEIS?
While in all cases a summary of substantive comments from a DEIS hearing must be included in the main body of the FEIS, there is no absolute rule on how hearing transcripts should be included in the FEIS record. The hearing record can be made available for public review as part of the FEIS by either including the hearing transcript as an appendix to the FEIS, or by providing the transcript as a stand alone document, including information on where the full transcript is available. Hard copies of extremely long transcripts, for example, might be made available only with those copies of the FEIS which are filed in public repositories, while electronic copies of the hearing transcript could be provided with all other copies of the FEIS. Short transcripts may be hard copy appendices to all copies of an FEIS.

GOP calls win in Peabody rep race
The state GOP is claiming a narrow win in Peabody's special state rep election — with a 24-year-old nurse beating two seasoned local candidates — and calling it a surrogate referendum on Gov. Deval Patrick's $2 billion tax hike plan.
Leah V. Cole won the three-way race yesterday to take the 12th Essex District — according to her campaign and state Republican leaders — a seat previously held by a Democrat.

Well, may a horse kick me up the arse and lodge a horseshoe up there as maybe that would give me some luck. My bleedin' computer is acting up again and that is why there has been sparse leaves to chew on from the bigheaded bunny patch. So this is just a quick post before radiation treatment on the hard drive. Maybe there will be a happy ending to this if you watch Regina Pessoa's short! Tragic Story with a Happy Ending can be seen on Arte France and received a Special Jury prize @ this year's ANIFEST! I haven't experienced the short with sound but the film itself gouges into visual terrain. The style magnifies the tragedy while Regina's design and camera moves us through the grain of the story to come out on the mossy side of the tree. Enjoy. I will have more from the Anifest when I have excavated the downfall of my civilization. Trojan horse fugged again!

International marriages (London)
"Mogli e buoi dei paesi tuoi" recites an old Italian proverb. Literal translation: Wives and oxen from your own land. The old prover suggest that when it comes to prized possessions and wives it is better to choose close to home. In my almost 20 years as an expat, however, I have met many couples where husbands and wives were from different countries. I am myself married to a Lithuanian who has spent most of his adult life in the US. My observation is that international marriages often succeed because partners make a greater effort to communicate and don't assume their spouse share their same perspectives. What is your experience?

I was inspired to write this poem after I took off my clothes one day and actually like what I saw in the mirror. I've been working out for consistently for over 4 years now and lost 50 lbs. However, this last year has proven difficult because I have lost and gained the same 10 – 15 lbs over and over again. I still have a ways to go, but in that moment, I liked what I saw.
I felt confused shortly there after because the critics were gearing up to rush in. "How can I like my body when my stomach isn't flat?" "How can I like my body when it is not the type of my body that Hollywood would accept?" All of these voices were pounding up at my mental door trying to get in and soon after they did. However, it was a fleeting moment, I looked in the mirror and actually liked what I saw. And I decided to write about it and then record it. Hit play below to give it a listen and if you like it, share it!

Mount Airy, known by many as Mayberry, is the birthplace of Andy Griffith and inspired the fictional town.
The Andy Griffith Show
Visitors from across the United States and the world come to Mount Airy, North Carolina, to trace the steps of native son Andy Griffith and to experience, at least for a few days, life in that nostalgic place known as Mayberry – a place they fell in love with watching The Andy Griffith Show.
It's no secret Griffith based the show's fictional hamlet on his hometown. Dozens of Mount Airy people, places and things are referenced in the classic 1960s sitcom. And the fabric of life in Mount Airy echoes that of Mayberry.
The people are welcoming, the pace of life is relaxed and there is a genuine spirit of community and friendship that visitors notice as they enjoy a taste of real-life Mayberry.
Mayberry Attractions
The list of "Mayberry" offerings in Mount Airy is lengthy. For starters, there's the Andy Griffith Museum, which houses the world's largest collection of Andy Griffith memorabilia. Most of the items were collected by the late Emmett Forrest, who was a life-long friend of Griffith. The museum has props from the TV show, items from Griffith's long career in music, TV and film, and personal items donated by actors on the show, including Griffith.
In front of the Andy Griffith Museum is the TV Land Landmark statue of Andy and Opie walking to the fishing hole. Next door is the Andy Griffith Playhouse, the former grade school auditorium where Griffith made his first appearance on stage.
One of the most popular activities is taking a squad car tour of town. Mayberry Squad Car Tours last about a half hour and include many of the key places in the life of Andy Griffith, including his old homeplace and the church where he first learned to play music.
Visitors also stop by Floyd's City Barber Shop, for a haircut, and eat at Snappy Lunch, a place mentioned on the show. Another pastime is browsing the Mayberry-related stores on Main Street.
Serious fans like to stay at the Mayberry Motor Inn, which has a room with items from the estate of actress Francis Bavier (Aunt Bee). And some fans even go a step further by spending a night at the Andy Griffith Homeplace, the two-bedroom bungalow at 711 East Haymore Street that was Andy's boyhood home. It's now a vacation rental owned by the local Hampton Inn.
Mayberry Days
Since 1990, thousands have gathered in Mount Airy each September for a week-long celebration known as Mayberry Days. Actors from the show, including Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou), make regular appearances at the festival. In fact, Lynn decided she belonged in Mayberry on a permanent basis and moved to Mount Airy in 2007 and hosts monthly meet-and-greet autograph sessions with fans the third Friday of each month at the Andy Griffith Museum. Join us for this year's 29th Annual Mayberry Days, Sept. 24-30, 2018. Find out more here: Mayberry Days official website
Community Support
The Surry Arts council has been largely responsible for Mount Airy's continued embrace of its role as the inspiration for Mayberry. The Arts Council sponsors and produces the Mayberry Days festival, raised the funds to build and operate the Andy Griffith Museum, and oversees all the productions in the Andy Griffith Playhouse.

Last Sunday, which we now call Pentecost but which I still think of as Whitsunday, I was struck by the fact that sitting near the front of St. Mary's at the 10 am service were four "old men." My claim to fame is that I am the senior (in terms of time I have been there) male member of St. Mary's. The other three have come to St. Mary's much more recently, but they are each scholars and published authors. Thomas Cahill is an occasional visitor but not a member. Joel Kovel and Arthur Cash are regular attendees and are at least informally members. But even though we had four men visibly sitting toward the front on Sunday, St. Mary's these days is energized by a group of women, mostly somewhat younger, who are providing strong and dynamic lay leadership.
Tuesday morning Liz and I attended a service in a different venue and with a different cast of characters. It was a Service of Rededication on the Occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the Interchurch Center. We were there for two reasons -- we heard about it because Liz currently sings in the Intechurch Center Chorus, and after we heard about it Liz recalled that she had been at the dedication fifty years ago when she had a clerical job at the Interchurch Center and had joined the choir there. This time there was no choir, but an organ, a brass quartet, and a bagpiper. A guest of honor was Steven Rockefeller, whose family, especially his grandfather, provided the land on which the Interchurch Center is built. The address was given by Michael Kinnamon, the General Secretary of the National Council of Churches of Christ. Fr. Raymond Rafferty, the current pastor of Corpus Christi Church, which we can see from the windows of our apartment, was among several readers; he read a passage from Matthew 5. Just before the service began I noticed in the program the name "The Most Reverend Katharine Jefferts Schori." Bishop Katharine came in at the end of the procession, behind Father Rafferty and Michael Kinnamon, whether the placemen was liturgically conscious or not, I don't know, but it was appropriate because she was the ranking cleric there. Bishop Katharine read the Litany of Remembrance and Dedication. Liz and I made a point of speaking to Bishop Katharine after the service, before she ducked out the back door on to Riverside Drive. I have now had an opportunity to speak to Bishop Katharine at three functions here on Morningside Heights and also once when she and her husband showed up unannounced at St. Mary's.
Three days after the Rededication of the Interchurch Center, and having nothing at all to do with it, the Archbishop of Canterbury issued a "Pentecost letter to the Bishops, Clergy and Faithful of the Anglican Communion." Others have written at length of the more significant portions of this letter -- in which Archbishop Rowan reveals more than ever his retrograde authoritarian ecclesiology and his inability to see that his statements amount to saying the lesbian and gay persons, "I have no need of you." My initial reaction to his letter, and especially the press release accompanying it, was "Ho, hum." There was nothing new.
Last Sunday afternoon, Liz and I hosted a gathering of people, mostly from St. Mary's, who are concerned about peace in Israel and Palestine. We heard from one of the witnesses to the killing of Rachel Corrie in Rafah, Gaza, on March 16, 2003. We also heard a report on current conditions in Rafah. The question of Israel and Palestine is a difficult one. It is difficult for many people to understand that a person can be simultaneously for the Israeli people and for the Palestinian people; or that being against the policies of the government of Israel is not a form of anti-Semitism.
My 10th great grandmother, Anne Marbury Hutchinson, is said to have been opposed to the wars against native Americans in the 1630's that resulted in the near extermination of the Pequots and the enslavement of the survivors. It is ironic that some of her descendants grew rich in the triangular slave trade and that she herself was killed by native Americans in 1643.

Ombre Raindrops Print
It is the day after Carnival and it seems like the entire town was swept clean. While everybody was celebrating, traveling and partying their hearts-out I tried to keep our celebration as low-key as possible. I did party a little, just a little and enough to make me want to join the travelers next year for some proper rest time. Emma and I did have a lot of time to play around. I made so many little printable things I cannot put them in one post so let's get started with this Ombre Raindrops Print which now hangs from her bedroom wall. It's raining buckets here and she learned at rainy day song at School so this is my way of getting in her head and persuade her to sing the song every time she sees it.

"There are so many people who were so instrumental in the early days
of AIDS in particular who really made a difference," said Stan Penfold, Utah AIDS Foundation Director.
Penfold says Wednesday night was about honoring four of them who made a difference here in Utah.
"Bruce Bastian, Dr. David Sundwall, Sarah McClellan from Northern Utah and Sue Yanik who is a nurse with the Valley Health Department," Penfold said.
Sue Yanik began her work at the Salt Lake Valley Health Department in
the mid 1980's. There she was assigned to work in the sexually transmitted disease clinic, and took patients with HIV under her wing.
"At first there was not much we could tell them. There was no
medication we could refer them to a doctor, and I thought, 'You know, there's got to be a better way. There's got to be something.' So I started talking to them about stress, what were there biggest fears, had they come out yet," she said.
Yanik is now retired but she says working with patients diagnosed with HIV is her calling in life. Listen as she describes an encounter with a client ten years after his scare with HIV.
"There was a man in a restaurant where we were eating and I knew he looked familiar to me, and he asked the restaurant owner 'is her name Sue?'and they said, yes, that's Sue Yanik And he said, 'She changed my life.' He was negative but he said I was the first straight person that had ever been nice to him, knowing that he was gay."
Dr. David Sundwall, a Clinical Professor of Public Health at the University of Utah was also honored. As former Health staff director in the U.S. Senate Sundwall was in a position to take action when HIV first began popping up in the U.S.
"I was in a position where I could mobilize some federal attention to
this. We convened hearings in the U.S. Senate, had dramatic testimony
from leaders in public health and patients or victims of the virus," he said.
Sarah Mcclellan and Bruce Bastian were also recognized. Mcclellan founded the Northern Utah Coalition in Ogden which offers walk-in appointments, outreach workers and support groups for those suffering from HIV.
Bastian, the co founder of Word Perfect, helped establish a trust helping people suffering from HIV and AIDS to stay in their homes.
The Utah AIDS Foundation estimates there are 3000 people living with HIV in Utah.

Indian police said Sunday they had widened their probe into cricket spot-fixing after the arrest of three players and 11 bookmakers, warning that more teams were under the microscope.
Test discard Shanthakumaran Sreesanth was among a trio of players from the Rajasthan Royals arrested Thursday over allegations they agreed to bowl badly during the Indian Premier League in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars.
But speaking to AFP, Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar said players for some of the other eight teams involved in the ongoing domestic Twenty20 competition were now under suspicion.
"It is still early but some other teams are also involved" in the rigging, Kumar said by phone. "It is not established yet but we are looking into that."
Spot-fixing is an illegal activity in which a specific part of a game, but not the outcome, is fixed.
Sreesanth, who has played 27 Tests for India, is alleged to have been paid four million rupees (about $75,000) to give away 14 runs in an over while playing for the Rajasthan Royals against the Kings XI Punjab on May 9.
His teammate Ankeet Chavan also allegedly agreed to give away the same number of runs in a match Wednesday against the Mumbai Indians in exchange for $110,000.
The third player, Ajit Chandila, allegedly received $36,000 for giving away a set number of runs in a match between the Rajasthan Royals and the Pune Warriors.
Commissioner Kumar did not disclose the identity of teams now under the widened police investigation but said he was "hopeful" of an early breakthrough.
Meanwhile, India's Law Minister Kapil Sibal said the government was considering new legislation to deal with match- and spot-fixing.
"I don't think the offence of cheating is something that adequately deals with the issue," Sibal told reporters in New Delhi.
"Once the broad parameters of the law are made out, I will hand it over to the sports ministry to take it to the cabinet and hopefully introduce it in the coming session of parliament" for approval, Sibal said.
"We cannot afford them (fans) to lose confidence in the sport -- not just in cricket but any sport which is affected by match-fixing and spot-fixing," he added.
The three arrested players have already been suspended. Cricket authorities on Sunday said they would launch their own probe into the spot-fixing allegations, promising strict action against the cricketers if they are found guilty.
The Press Trust of India reported that the Rajasthan Royals, which is co-owned by Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty, would also press criminal charges against Sreesanth, Chavan and Chandila.
Officers said police have asked hotels in cities such as Mumbai, Chandigarh, Kolkata and Hyderabad for footage of their security cameras to try and establish that the players met bookmakers who are also now in police custody.

Showing your vulnerabilities and sharing your story is not usually the best strategy in the traditional workplace, however in the online arena it's a powerful tool. Here are five traits to adopt in order to boost your success when using online business platforms.
Share your vulnerabilities and struggles
When we hear about the trials and tribulations it took someone to achieve the success or results they've achieved, two important things take place – we connect on an emotional or 'heart-to-heart' level with them, and we're likely to lower any defences or barriers we might be holding on to. While sharing your struggles might be discouraged in physical workplaces, getting to know the person behind the business online resonates strongly with clients and potential investors.
Women understand that talking about their journey builds a powerful connection with those listening. However for many men, the thought of discussing their mistakes or struggles triggers anxiety. The fear associated with being vulnerable for men is that they will lose something – it might be the respect of their bosses, a job opportunity or friends at work. But the truth is, that sharing challenges you've had to overcome, coupled with your present-day success makes you more approachable and influential.
Tell your story
Women naturally excel in online marketing because they are comfortable sharing their story. In the online marketplace, when you master the art of storytelling, it becomes effortless to step beyond the common sales objections and connect with potential clients. Through platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and even crowdfunding, women are successfully using storytelling to grow their businesses. Describing why you started your business and the difference between what you expected to happen compared with what actually happened along the way, attracts like-minded people. The story forms a critical element in the relationship businesses have with their clients.
As a good rule of thumb 90 per cent of your content ought to be focused on giving value to your potential client and connecting with them. This can include business advice, tips, solutions to challenges they face, and of course sharing your story. When this is done well, you only require a further 10 per cent of effort to invite your client to take action.
Forget the hard sell
Instead of conforming to the outdated mindset of going in for the 'hard sell' and simply focusing on getting the money in the bank, approach things from a different angle. Women are very good at naturally developing a love for their ideal client and connecting with them honestly and authentically. They understand the challenges their ideal client's face and women have both the compassion to help the client solve the problem, and the passion not to quit on them during the sales process.
Develop relationships
Focus on developing relationships by thinking and focusing on the person you are talking with. Allow people to get to know, like and trust you first before you try to sell to them. Understand that success in business is more about building relationships than getting the sale or getting the job done.
Connect what you do with a bigger purpose
In traditional workplaces there are unwritten ground rules and certain explicit and implicit requirements to achieve success. For most employees, the physical workplace culture is one which is focused on the completion of tasks. This 'output' approach to work, is designed around the concept of conformance and in some cases compliance. Any potential distraction to this environment, such as someone discussing their struggles or battles they have face, is often managed by a quick visit to Human Resources. But online, a very different culture is unfolding. Online, you can thrive by being fully aligned with who you are.

The self-titled debut album from Hearts and Minds reminds us that a Jason Stein-involved project goes heavy on both the instinctual and the intellectual ends of the music. The bass clarinet ace's approach demonstrated with his Locksmith Isidore trio has had a free/avant-garde bent that doesn't lose touch with jazz tradition of the 50s and 60s, often carrying forward the spirit and innovations of Steve Lacy. This current Chicago-based trio, though is a different animal from that Stein/Mike Reed/Jason Roebke combo though, exchanging a bassist with Stein's childhood friend and keyboard man Paul Giallorenzo. Moreover, this drummer, Frank Rosaly, handles weird electronic noises too. And, this is billed without Stein's name, as Hearts and Minds is a democracy with Stein sharing composing duties with Giallorenzo, and Rosaly playing a bigger role in shaping these sketches more than what's usual for a drummer.
The "electro" part of this electro-acoustic outing isn't what puts this music on the frontier edge of jazz; heck, the electric piano Giallorenzo uses could have well been the same one Chick Corea played on Miles Davis' Filles de Kilimanjaro back in 1968. Rather, it's the veering, unconfining nature of the performances that places the music in the vanguard. The plugged and unplugged parts are cleverly massed together compatibly.
Matter of fact, Rosaly's bent circuitry meshes so well with Stein's gruff squeals on "Stocky" it's hard to tell where one instrument ends and the other begins. The building blocks of bebop can be heard on "Rocked and Eroded," Stein's well-versed diction in that style in full display. But the twist comes when his serpentine lines are shadowed by Giallorenzo's vintage-sounding electric piano, and in a classic Stein move, the band stretches out toward freedom using bop as the launching point.
"The Western Situation" is free, led by Stein's tortured bass clarinet. Giallorenzo sketches out the bass line on left side of his keyboard for both "Three For One" and "Streaming" while the right side harmonizes with Stein. Knob twisting blurts coincide with Stein and Rosaly's short quips during "An Unfortunate Lack of Role Models" ahead of Stein cutting loose.
The first half of "Nick Masonry" — decidedly not Pink Floydian — is Stein blurting out an endless stream of ideas from his horn with his cohorts working hard to keep up. The other two assert themselves in the second half by locking onto a groove that compels Stein to mine it. Giallorenzo's electric keys impersonates a bass walk for "Irresolute" and Stein goes into dark shades mode over fidgety brush work from Rosaly, in a song that exudes Eisenhower-era cool. Crackling electro-buzzes compete with Stein's incessant bass clarinet musings on "Old Balance," until Giallorenzo introduces a figure that the other two latch into; Rosaly thunders through an imposing performance that nearly upstages Stein.
Not always tuneful but unfailingly engaging and playful, Hearts and Minds exemplifies the best qualities of adventurous Chicago jazz.

The GM Heritage Center – Part One— February 2, 2014
If you're reading this site, you've probably heard of the GM Heritage Center. You've also probably never been there. I have, and it was like dying and going to automotive heaven.
I was going to try and write this whole trip up as one post, but the more I looked at the photographs, the more I realized: that just wasn't going to happen. This was – without a doubt – the most amazing automotive experience of my entire life. The things I saw in this building, tucked away in Sterling Heights, Michigan, I will never ever forget for as long as I live. Thanks to a gentleman from my car club who used to be an employee of GM, a small tour group was organized that consisted of him, his wife, a friend of his who had some pretty cool cars of his own (we'll get to that later…), two friends of ours, and of course, yours truly.
Everyone knows that GM is the world's largest automaker. Their history spans over 100 years of innovation, forward thinking, racing excellence, and safety. Did you know that GM was the first car company to embrace and actively develop automobile styling? Way back in 1926, when most cars on the road were little more than buggies with engines, GM hired the auto industry's first ever full time in-house design team.
GM was also responsible for many other automotive innovations that we may take for granted these days. For instance, way back in 1912 (that's when the Titanic sank, for those of you keeping score at home), a man named Charles "Boss" Kettering invented the first electric starter. Prior to Kettering, there were hand cranks on cars to start them. Kettering was so brilliant that he established the GM Research Lab, which was also the first in-house R&D center in the industry. While the media may try and downplay American involvement in the auto industry these days, without GM, the automobile as we know it might not have ever come to fruition.
Anyway, aside from all of that, GM has this building. They call it the Heritage Center. In it, they house a rotating collection of some of their most famous, influential, and significant vehicles. Many #001 cars end up here, or some that are the last off of a particular car or production plant line. It's also not open to the public. They will organize tours, but only for large groups or businesses. It's a hidden gem in an unassuming building not very close to much of anything. It's literally off the map.
Thanks to a friend of mine, I was given the opportunity to tour the facility while I was visiting the area for the Detroit Auto Show. As many of you know, GM is my favorite automotive manufacturer. Sure, I like most all cars and trucks in some way or another, but all of the vehicles that pull at my heartstrings the most are General Motors products. In other words, getting the opportunity to tour the GM Heritage Center was like stepping on hallowed ground, like a pilgrimage to Mecca, like ascending the stairs to the gates of automotive heaven itself.
When I say that the Heritage Center is a hidden gem, I mean it. As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by the sight of this:
I drooled. When Cadillac unveiled that car at Pebble Beach a couple of years ago, I thought it looked good. In person? It's MAGNIFICENT. It's so large and imposing, exactly what a Cadillac should be. Bold. Brash. American. I knew I was in for a treat.
After a brief introduction, the double doors were opened, and what I saw was nothing short of sensory overload. You can't help but just stand there, mouth agape. Literally every poster car I had as a child was right here in this room at arm's reach. I didn't know where to look. Left, right, up, down, every direction held some other amazing piece of automotive history. Right from the get go, though, the Heritage Center had a special surprise for me:
Yes, that really is the very first Buick Regal GNX. The GNX, powered by a tweaked version of Buick's turbo 3.8 liter V6, was built in very limited numbers (547, to be exact) by ASC/McLaren for General Motors, and was the fastest vehicle sold by GM in 1987 – even faster than the Corvette. These turbo Buicks hold a special place in my family. My father bought one new in 1987 after losing a race in his only-30-day-old 1987 Monte Carlo SS to a Dodge Omni GLHS (which is something else entirely that we'll cover in another post… stay tuned). He traded the Monte for the Regal, and the rest was history. He met my mother because of that car, that's how cool those were even when new. Unfortunately, my father passed away after losing his battle with inflammatory breast cancer in March 2013, so seeing the GNX right as I opened the door was something special.
The very last 1996 Impala SS was there as well. The sedan counterpart to my wagon that I hold so dear, the Impala SS was the last of GM's B-body body-on-frame full size sedans. With a Corvette-derived LT1 V8, four wheel disc brakes, leather seats based on a Buick design, and seating for five adults, the 1996 Impala SS was quintessential 4-door muscle car of the 1990s.
There were also many of GM's experimental vehicles placed on display. Of note was the Electrovair.
It's exactly what it sounds like. A Corvair that runs on electricity. Granted, at the time the technology wasn't as advanced as it is today, so the entire trunk (frunk?) was filled with large batteries, but the important part here was the fact that GM was experimenting with alternative energy many decades before you could even spell "Prius." They also had a Corvair van that was powered by a hydrogen fuel cell. Remember all the buzz and positive press BMW was getting for "pioneering" hydrogen power? Yeah, they weren't the first.
The Heritage Center was much more than just cars, trucks, and experiments, though. In another corner of the massive facility, there was an incredibly impressive display of engines that GM had built over the years. From the Lotus-designed Mercury Marine-built 32 valve dual overhead cam LT5 used in the Corvette ZR1, all the way up to a model of the 1000 horsepower naturally aspirated 16 cylinder engine used in this, the Cadillac Sixteen concept, which pays homage to the 16 cylinder Cadillacs of the 1930s.
One of the most interesting engines on display in this section, though, was this:
In case you're confused, that's a twin-turbocharged 455 cubic inch Oldsmobile big block. Just let that sink in for a moment. As if the torque from a naturally aspirated 455 weren't ridiculous enough for nearly ANY application, the gearheads at GM took it a step further and added a pair of snails. In fact, GM and Oldsmobile were the first company to have a turbocharged passenger car – way back in 1962. The second turbocharged passenger car? That was GM too: the Corvair Monza Spyder (later renamed Corsa).
Aside from the Sixteen mentioned earlier, there were many other concept cars on display, some new, some old – and in fact, the very first one ever.
The Buick Y-Job was the first concept car ever. That's right. GM invented the concept car. Harley J. Earl, the man behind timeless designs such as the first Corvettes, actually drove this car around the streets of Detroit. He stopped everywhere with it, asked people's opinions, and used it as a way to gauge interest in vehicle styling cues that would eventually show up in later GM vehicles. It was technologically advanced, too. The Y-Job has a system where if it rains, the car can sense it and automatically raise the convertible top.
Did I mention that this thing was built in 1938? Yeah, that's kind of important.
Here's a short video of some of the iconic Cadillac concept cars that were on display. Among them, the Cien, which was built to commemorate Cadillac's 100th anniversary, the Evoq, which would eventually morph into the Y-body Corvette platform-mate Cadillac XLR, and the Converj, which became the Voltec-platformed Cadillac ELR, which I wrote about here.
That's all for this portion of the GM Heritage Center. Stay tuned for part two, where we'll see many more historic vehicles from General Motors' colorful and historic past, present, and future.
I'm so jealous … good job Ray !!
Great job son… I can't believe you mentioned your father and I but I am so proud of you. You writing is so good unlike mine. Lol
Great story Ray!! I look forward to the next installment. Your writing style is great-I think you have a great future ahead of you. Best of luck, Mark.
Very Nice Ray!!

LONDON, Dec. 1 (UPI) -- British Justice Secretary Jack Straw says Home Secretary Jacqui Smith doesn't need to apologize for not intervening in the arrest of a member of Parliament.
Smith has been under attack from Conservative Party leaders for allowing the arrest of Tory MP Damian Green as part of an investigation over leaks of government documents and reports to the media. But Straw defended her Sunday, The Times of London reported.
He told the newspaper that in his four years leading the Home Office, he couldn't remember one occasion in which he was informed of the details of a police investigation.
"Everybody who has been made aware of these unfolding events, of course, is surprised by the nature of the raid, and I certainly understand the concern of my parliamentary colleagues," Straw said. "If the Home Secretary, any Home Secretary, had offered an apology there would then be a huge furor about the fact the Home Secretary was prejudging the actions and activities of the police without an investigation."
Green was questioned for nine hours last week on suspicion of leaking documents to the media to embarrass the Labor Party government.

However, rule utilitarianism proposes a more central role for rules that was thought to rescue the theory from some of its more devastating criticisms, particularly problems to do with justice and promise keeping. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, articles were published both for and against the new form of utilitarianism, and through this debate the theory we now call rule utilitarianism was created. In an introduction to an anthology of these articles, the editor was able to say: "The development of this theory was a dialectical process of formulation, criticism, reply and reformulation; the record of this process well illustrates the co-operative development of a philosophical theory."

Smart [46] and McCloskey [47] initially used the terms 'extreme' and 'restricted' utilitarianism but eventually everyone settled on the terms 'act' and 'rule' utilitarianism.
The essential difference is in what determines whether or not an action is the right action.

maintains that an action is right if it maximizes utility; rule utilitarianism maintains that an action is right if it conforms to a rule that maximizes utility.
In 1956, Urmson published an influential article [48] arguing that Mill justified rules on utilitarian principles. From then on, articles have debated this interpretation of Mill. In all probability, it was not a distinction that Mill was particularly trying to make and so the evidence in his writing is inevitably mixed. A collection of Mill's writing published in 1977 includes a letter in which he says: [49]
I agree with you that the right way of testing actions by their consequences, is to test them by the natural consequences of the particular action, and not by those which would follow if everyone did the same. But, for the most part, the consideration of what would happen if everyone did the same, is the only means we have of discovering the tendency of the act in the particular case.
This seems to tip the balance in favour of saying that Mill is best classified as an act utilitarian.
Some school level textbooks and at least one UK examination board [50] make a further distinction between strong and weak rule utilitarianism. However, it is not clear that this distinction is made in the academic literature.
It has been argued that rule utilitarianism collapses into act utilitarianism, because for any given rule, in the case where breaking the rule produces more utility, the rule can be refined by the addition of a sub-rule that handles cases like the exception. [51] This process holds for all cases of exceptions, and so the "rules" have as many "sub-rules" as there are exceptional cases, which, in the end, makes an agent seek out whatever outcome produces the maximum utility.

Furthermore, research in
historical trauma
suggests that some
Zoom Fly sneakers Pink amp; Purple Nike DCOAgg
emotions can be passed on from parents to offspring to second and even third generation, presented as examples of transgenerational trauma .
A common way in which emotions are conceptualized in sociology is in terms of the multidimensional characteristics including cultural or emotional labels (for example, anger, pride, fear, happiness), physiological changes (for example, increased perspiration, changes in pulse rate), expressive facial and body movements (for example, smiling, frowning, baring teeth), and appraisals of situational . [9] One comprehensive theory of emotional arousal in humans has been developed by Jonathan Turner (2007: 2009). [71] [72] Two of the key eliciting factors for the arousal of emotions within this theory are expectations states and sanctions. When people enter a situation or encounter with certain expectations for how the encounter should unfold, they will experience different emotions depending on the extent to which expectations for Self, other and situation are met or not met. People can also provide positive or negative sanctions directed at Self or other which also trigger different emotional experiences in individuals. Turner analyzed a wide range of emotion theories across different fields of research including sociology, psychology, evolutionary science, and neuroscience. Based on this analysis, he identified four emotions that all researchers consider being founded on human neurology including assertive-anger, aversion-fear, satisfaction-happiness, and disappointment-sadness. These four categories are called primary emotions and there is some agreement amongst researchers that these primary emotions become combined to produce more elaborate and complex emotional experiences. These more elaborate emotions are called first-order elaborations in Turner's theory and they include sentiments such as pride, triumph, and awe. Emotions can also be experienced at different levels of intensity so that feelings of concern are a low-intensity variation of the primary emotion aversion-fear whereas depression is a higher intensity variant.
Attempts are frequently made to regulate emotion according to the conventions of the society and the situation based on many (sometimes conflicting) demands and expectations which originate from various entities. The emotion of anger is in many cultures discouraged in girls and women (expression of anger is also discouraged in men because a man is seen as a threat if he shows anger, which causes people to avoid him or treat him as a danger - particularly women), while fear is discouraged in boys and men. Expectations attached to social roles, such as "acting as man" and not as a woman, and the accompanying "feeling rules" contribute to the differences in expression of certain emotions. Some cultures encourage or discourage happiness, sadness, or jealousy, and the free expression of the emotion of disgust is considered socially unacceptable in most cultures. Some social institutions are seen as based on certain emotion, such as in the case of contemporary institution of marriage . In advertising, such as health campaigns and political messages, emotional appeals are commonly found. Recent examples include no-smoking health campaigns and political campaigns emphasizing the fear of terrorism.

School to Homeschool Family: Obtain Approval or Accreditation or Else!
- Darren Jones Staff Attorney, HSLDA
- 2013 3 Apr
In March 2013, a Kansas district court dismissed a truancy case against homeschooling parents Tom and Caroline Evanson (names changed to protect privacy).
Since homeschools operate as private schools in Kansas, when the Evansons began homeschooling they followed the applicable law and registered a private school with the state. But in August 2011, they enrolled their daughter in public school again.
After three semesters of watching their daughter suffer from bullying and of strongly disagreeing with some of the public school course content, the Evansons withdrew their daughter to homeschool again. Registrations don't expire, so when they resumed homeschooling it was not necessary to register their home-based private school again.
But the school district decided to challenge the Evansons' homeschool program, and the family contacted Home School Legal Defense Association. Despite the Evansons having filed the correct paperwork to withdraw their daughter from public school, the school district notified the county attorney that the Evansons' daughter was truant.
The prosecutor summoned them to court. He asked the judge to take jurisdiction over their daughter as a "child in need of care" because of truancy. The school officials and local prosecutor argued that the daughter's attendance in the Evansons' program did not satisfy the compulsory attendance law because the program was neither approved nor accredited, even though no such requirement is found in Kansas law.
HSLDA's local counsel contacted the prosecutor with evidence that the Evansons had already registered their private school. We explained that Kansas law required a one-time registration and did not require either approval or accreditation of home-based private schools. With this information, the prosecutor dismissed the case against the Evansons.
Like most of the 50 states, Kansas is relatively homeschool-friendly, but it takes just one bad decision by a court unfamiliar with the law to destroy years of educational freedom. In the 1980s, homeschoolers achieved educational freedom by banding together, and our work is not done. This mutual support is still essential to continue to defend homeschool freedoms.
