|Vowels and Consonants
The Japanese language has only five short-vowels. They are not "A E I O U", but "A I U E O ", which are arranged in a Japanese way. y and w are called semi-vowels. They are very short "i" and "u" respectively. When you pronounce them, you had better not squeeze your lips too strongly.
You also need long-vowels. When written in Roman alphabet, either aa , â or ah is preferred. But, sorry to say, as for long-vowels, the integrated writing sytem has not been adopted yet. For example, 東京 should be written "Tookyoo","Tohkyoh" or "Tôkyô", but as you see on the signboard of the airport, it is simply written as "Tokyo". From here on, I would like to write "Tookyoo"or "Too-kyoo".
All these vowels are used independently, or used with other consonants to form "a syllable". There are fifteen basic consonants. They are k, s, sh, t, n, h, m, r, g, d, z, b, ts, ch and j. Consonants and semi-vowels are never pronounced independently. Make sure that they must always be acommpanied by one of the five vowels in the latter part of a syllable. This is called CV structure (consonant vowel struture).Examples ; t + a = ta, k + e = ke, s + o = so, s + o + n = son
For example, a Japanese word derived from an English word. You will be surprised see how greatly altered they are. "strike" is turned into "su-to-ra-i-ki" (stop working) or "su-to-ra-i-ku"(beseball term), "friend" into "hu-ren-do", and "price" into "pu-ra-i-su" and so on.
The table below includes 5 vowels, 2 semi-vowels, 7 voiceless consonants, and independent n sound. They make up fifty syllables.
The Table of Fifty Syllables (usually written in Hiragana or Katakana)
note(1) There is no sucn Japanese sound as "si". This should be pronounced as in " she ", not as in " sea " Generally, Japanese people call Disney Sea "de-zu-nii shii"!
note(2) There is no sucn Japanese sound as "ti". This is as in "catch", not as in " tip ".note(3) There is no sucn Japanese sound as "tu". This is as in "nuts", not as in " two ".
note(4) All these five Hs are not found in English, only similar to " what " or " where "
Consonants k, s, t are voiceless. From "k" a voiced sound "g" is produced., from "s" "z" and from "t", "d"."h" itself is not a voiceless sound, but curiously, Japanese people consider "b" as a voiced form of "h", and "p" a semi-voiced version of "h".
Voiceless sounds above are called "SEI-ON 清音", and these 25 voiced sounds below are called "DAKU-ON 濁音".
When a vowel is followed by a voiceless consonant to form a word, it is often turned into a voiced sound, because it is easier to pronounce. EX. hira (easy to learn) + kana (elementary letter) ⇒ hira-gana, or o ( small ) + kawa ( river ) ⇒ o-gawa
The Table of Voiced Sounds
note(5) There is no sucn Japanese sound as "zi". This is as in "jeep", not as in "zip"nor as in "leisure"
note(6) There is no sucn Japanese sound as "di". This is as in "jeep", not as in "did", but in some words borrowed from a foreign language this is often pronounced ad " di". examples speedy *** supiidi handy *** handi
note(7) There is no sucn Japanese sound as "du". This is as in "zoo", not as in "do". Actually, "du "and "zu" are pronounced almost identically.
These combinations are not enough to create Japanese words, so another variation has been added to them. Not a few foreigners will find it difficult to pronounce these sounds below.
Instead of forming two syllables like "ki-ya" "ki-yu" or "ki-yo", some of the fifty syllables above are combined with sem-vowel "y", resulting a shortened form of syallable like "kya" "kyu" and "kyo", which are called palatalized or labio-velarized syllables (YÔ-ON 拗音 ).In the Tables below are 33 such syllables, and each consonant has three kinds of syllables.
The Table of Palatalized Syllables ( Voiceless )
The Table of Palatalized Syllables ( Voiced , Semi-Voiced )
Notes ; In writing Hiragana or Katakana, all these や、ゆ、よ are written about half the size of the consonants.
Another way to produce more syllables is called a geminate consonant (SOKU-ON 促音). A geminate consonant is formed when, theoretically, the two same consonants are combined to be pronounced almost simultaneously. In Arabic, this is called "shadda".
The former syllable can be either a consonant-vowel combination or an independent vowel. The latter syllable must be headed by the two same consonants. These consonants are pronounced "doubly", that is, to stop gushing out your breath momentarily before going on to speak.
Arabic and Korean natives find this easy, but speakers of other languages may have trouble getting satisfactory sounds. This must be perfected, because, as you see below, there are so many examples which are in danger of misinterpretation.
Examples of Geminate Consonants
Compare the ordinary sounds ( left ) and geminate consonants ( right ). You must differenciate these sounds. Otherwise, you will be completely misunderstood. or cannot make yourself understood.
A Long VowelJapanese is full of vowels, so you will find many vowels colliding with each other in your mouth. You have to pronounce them both clearly and slowly. As you see below, "me-i" and "me-e-i" are entirely diffrent words. To avoid being misunderstood, foreigners are recommended to put stress on the last vowel but one, as in "meei".
Compare the ordinary sounds ( left ) and long vowels ( right ). Long vowels are usually written in double vowels, such as a-a, i-i, u-u, e-e, o-o in this text. They are called CHO-ON 長音.
Nasal Sound
Japanese has a special nasal sound, "-n-", though it is often changed into "-ng-","-m-" and other sounds. Thy are called HA-TSU-ON 撥音. Compare these sounds. The words on the right are are added with a "-n-" sound in between.
Beat time and keep timeWhen you hear Japanese people speak, some say it sounds like popping of a machine gun. This is because Japanese syllables are pronounced roughly at the same interval ( These intervals are called MORAS ). Haiku, one of the most famous forms of Japanese poetry, is rigidly framed into 5, 7, and 5 moras.
Example; 「静けさや 岩にしみいる 蝉の声」 shi-zu-ke-sa-ya, i-wa-ni-shi-mi-i-ru se-mi-no-ko-e (by 芭蕉 Bashoo) Translation; In the quietness, droning of the cicadas sounds as if it is absorbed into the rock.There are 17 syllables, but also 17 moras.
Now, if you are a biginner of Japanese, the best way to learn these rhythms, clap your hands as you speak !
Notes ; The number of syllables and of moras does not always agree.
OnomatopeoiaJapanese people like to imitate natural sounds, such as barking of a dog, the flowing sound of a brook, the pattering of rain, and anything that makes ( or seems to make ) sounds. They are called onomatopeoia ( GI-SEI-GO 擬声語 or GI-TAI-GO 擬態語) They are characteristic of repeating the same sound twice.
Examples: GORO-GORO (heavy sound of lightning) PIKA-PIKA (shining ) WAN-WAN (bow-bow) TSURU-TSURU (implying slippery) KACHI-KACHI (hitting something hard as in ice) PEKO-PEKO (kowtowing)
Since the Japanese language has very limitted number of vowels and consonants, there appeared to be too many homonyms ( DO-ON-I-GI-GO 同音異義語). The difference of intonation and accent doesn't help much, because there are many regional variations. "HASHI" means both bridge and chopsticks. You have to make sure that a particular word has a certain meaning by suggesting "hashi you walk over" or "hashi which you pick up rice with".
Examples; KAMI - god, paper, bite(v), hair KITA - north, came(v) KAZE - wind, a cold GAN - cancer, goose, gun AME - candy, rain ME - eyes, bud
There are so many homonyms that Japanese comedians make use of them to make their customers laugh. But for foreigners who have just begun to learn Japanese, they are the main cause of misunderstanding !
Japanese words are not usually stressed, but pronounced higher than the rest of the syllable. They have "pitch-accent". So when you say a Japanese word, you may as well be reminded of musical notes.
Unfortunately, there is no standard for accent and intonation, lacking national agreement. Indeed, they vary from dialect to dialect. When you open a dictionary for accent and, you will find there are vast differences in them between the northern part of Japan and the western part of Japan.
Only national broadcasting system ( NHK ) is a trusted point of reference. NHK's announcers are thought be a model for speaking standard Japanese, but interpersonal conversation in the Kansai, Kyushu and Tohoku districts is quite different from them.
But this does not mean that there is no standard way of pronouncing. "adobaisu" ( advice ) and "rikon" ( divorce ) which are all high-pitched at the top.
Everybody knows that sayonara means goodbye. "sayonara" is usually pronounced as SAYONARA, not as SAYONARA, or SAYONARA, which are preferred by many foreigners.
Grouping Words / Making Sense Groups
One of the most important things for speaking and writing Japanese language, which has relatively monotonous rhythm, is to make proper breathing with each grammatical group. They are called WAKACHI-GAK 分かち書きI ( literally, cutting into small parts ) and Japanese people themselves haven't been strongly conscious of it so far, because Japanese writing system is made up of three different types of letters, which automatically makes it possible for us to distinguish between sense groups.
But once you speak to the other person, speaking without breathing would makes them unable to understand where the sense group begins and where it ends. People are unconsciously cutting their sentences, but if foreigners neglect these breathing points, it sometimes happens that they don't make sense at all.
Look at the example "kaneokure". There are two ways of making it in two groups. "kane okure ( send me money 金を送れ)" and "kane o kure ( give me money 金をくれ)". Be careful when you speak in a long sentence.

Start talking real estate to anyone and you'll probably hear more and more about the up and coming Twin Cities (Saco and Biddeford Maine). These two cities are pushing Maine's Technologies and Small business boundaries. From Co-Working Spaces, Pizza Pies, and Breweries you won't find a more charming city to invest into. My person thoughts are 3-5 years it will be a mini-portland with ample room to grow, but keeping the traditional small town feeling.
You can find out more about this charming ranch that I shot from the listing agent, but let's just say the having quick access to Main St., The 2 Major Highways, Downtown Saco and Biddeford, Trails, beaches and local family amenities this house is a steal!

David Iwanow is an experienced and well known SEO specialist in the Search Industry. He's the Global SEO Manager of Schibsted Media Group, where he works remotely, and has previously worked for companies like eBay. You can find him through his travel site called travel network, as well as via his social presence in twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn.
1. How did you start working remotely? How did you make the switch?
I work in a global company with locally distributed teams in each market, so working from airports, hotels and local team offices was just part of the job requirements. In my first role at Schibsted my SEO development team was based with https://www.avito.ma in Casablanca, Morocco but now in my new role I look after our global SEO efforts so it means working with even more teams around the world.
2. What do you think are the main advantages of remote work?
The biggest one is working with your local stakeholders allows you to get more done but also builds relationships and helps you understand your local market. The other factor around flexible work location is working from home recently when the UK was hit by a snow storm meant no interruption to my schedule and I was able to deliver everything I needed by the required deadline.
The other thing in London many senior SEOs in my industry are moving out of London or have moved already because of the costs and stress of 1-2 hours of daily travel. If you are working remotely or from home you are in the office in 1-2 minutes and up and running and I find you sometimes end up doing slightly more work as you don't have as many distractions and going out for lunch is a 30 second walk to the fridge so you save money also.
3. Do you think there are disadvantages or that you're missing something by working remotely?
I'm not remote all the time, I have my base in London but being remote frequently I do miss local team activities as my main team is based in Barcelona, Spain. I do have a number of friends who work remotely and I ensure I make an effort to see them if they are visiting London and we do some knowledge sharing on what new tools/processes are working or they have stopped doing.
4. From which cities or countries have you worked since you have become remote? Which has been your favorite one?
I have worked in a few locations such as Mexico City (with segundamano.mx), Amsterdam, Casablanca, Barcelona, Budapest, Helsinki, Brisbane (Australia), Dublin, Wexford (Ireland). I would have to say Amsterdam was a brilliant spot for remote working as time zone wasn't too different and I had amazingly fast internet in the hotel.
I do really enjoy working with several of my local teams when I get the chance as they are all amazing people! Mexico City and Australia were a big tougher due to time-zone differences which meant getting up early to staying up late to ensure you didn't miss important meetings.
5. From which type of place do you prefer to work? Coworking spaces, coffee shops or others? Do you have any specific place?
I mainly work from our local offices but sometimes do work from hotels depending on the timezone and if I'm attending a conference. I really prefer a quiet place with decent WiFi and a comfortable desk/chair so don't know how people manage to spend hours in coffee shops on those uncomfortable wooden chairs.
If I'm travelling I try and get to the airport early so I can work from the lounge, I purchased a PriorityPass that gives me access to most airport lounges which means I can ensure I have decent WiFi and often a quiet place for a conference call.
6. Which places would you like to travel to while working remotely?
It sounds bad but ideally somewhere with decent internet as I depend a lot on decent bandwidth to run SEO tools like ScreamingFrog, I work with a lot of large Google Doc files and of course a lot of video calls with other remote teams. I prefer to work in our local offices where possible as the interaction and knowledge sharing with local teams is the key part of my role.
7. What would you say to the companies that don't believe in hiring employees who work remotely?
I think trust is the biggest one, the previously agency MD said they hated not having staff in the office because they couldn't monitor and control them. They have just started to open up the idea for remote working because they are struggling to recruit and retain staff as more and more agencies are adopting to a remote work environment.
There are heaps of amazing companies that are starting to open up to the idea of remote working even if it's from home 1-2 days a week helps with staff morale and stress levels but also reduces office costs and increases retention levels.
8. Which tools do you use to work remotely?
- Slack, Skype, Google Hangouts (last resort)
- Google Apps for email & calendar
- Google Docs & MS Office
- Google Drive
9. How do you manage your business and taxes as a remote working professional?
I'm an employee so it's one less thing to worry about, in the past I used tools such as FreshBooks.
10. What advice would you give to people looking to work remotely and companies making the remote switch?
It can be tough for sure but make sure you join a company with a great work ethic and support you with the software/hardware to get your job done when travelling. Also if you are working remotely make sure you don't work alone all the time, spend time in a base and even visit co-working spaces to bounce ideas of similar people once in a while.

China & Fed: How Vulnerable Are Emerging Markets?
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Emerging market equities are faltering today, but it's not just weak China trade data but the minutes from the Fed's meeting Wednesday that are roiling investors, Capital Economics says.
With the death of Thailand's King, the iShares MSCI Thailand Capped exchange-traded fund (THD) is up 2.5% today. But the fund is one of the worst EM performers this week, down 7%, with signs of the king's ill health -- and fear of unrest -- surfacing earlier in the week. Other fragile emerging markets have also struggled, with the iShares MSCI South Africa ETF (EZA) down nearly 3% today and down 6% this week, the iShares MSCI South Korea Capped ETF (EWY) down nearly 2% today and more than 4% this week, and the iShares China Large-Cap ETF (FXI) down 1.5% today and down nearly 4% this week.
The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) is down 1.5% today, and down nearly 3% this week, while the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is down 0.7% today and down 1.3% this week.
David Rees at Capital Economics writes:
"There are a couple of possible explanations for the decline. One is the disappointing China trade data for September. ... But this is not particularly satisfactory. After all, the trade report showed that China's imports of commodities continued to hold up well ...
What's more, as we have pointed out before, investors have not been perturbed by ebbs and flows in the data from China for some time. Admittedly, these latest trade figures could well be the first signs of the slowdown in economic growth that forecast next year. But it is too early to know for sure, and the bigger picture is that so long as China does not appear to be sliding into a crisis, investors will probably remain calm. This explains why the recent depreciation of the renminbi has not shaken EM equities.
Instead, we think the the minutes from the September FOMC meeting, released on Wednesday, were the main culprit for the decline in EM equities. Those minutes added to our conviction that the Fed funds rate will be increased by 25 basis points at the December meeting. And EM equities are likely to remain volatile as the Fed tightens the screws ..."

Top 10 Takeaways After Two Years of Exploring Client Perspectives Greetings, my name is Andy Baker and I'm the Group Creative Director at the National Geographic Channel. For the past two years, I've been running a blog called The Client Blog all about the client's perspective on the creative process — a perspective not often heard or discussed. Here's a list of the top 10 takeaways I've learned over the past two years — a 'Cliffnotes' version of what I share on my wesbite. These top 10 takeaways are not necessarily in order of importance, just the things that stand out to me most, or consistent themes that I've heard and written about. #10: Less Is More One of the themes that I have touched on multiple times is the idea of 'less is more.' The 100 Best, Most Interesting Blogs and Websites of 2014 Editor's note: 2015's list of the best, most interesting websites has arrived! The video above is a sampling from that list. Welcome to the most awesome blog post you're going to see all year. Yep, it's the third installment in the super-popular annual series in which I document the sites I think you'll want to spend a lot of time on in the coming year (below you'll find a few highlights from recent years in case you missed out). I have one major rule: a site can only appear on this list once, so there are never any duplicates. Every year this list is 100% fresh.
ENTP personality The ENTP personality type is the ultimate devil's advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind for all to see. Unlike their more determined Judging (J) counterparts, ENTPs don't do this because they are trying to achieve some deeper purpose or strategic goal, but for the simple reason that it's fun. No one loves the process of mental sparring more than ENTPs, as it gives them a chance to exercise their effortlessly quick wit, broad accumulated knowledge base, and capacity for connecting disparate ideas to prove their points. An odd juxtaposition arises with ENTPs, as they are uncompromisingly honest, but will argue tirelessly for something they don't actually believe in, stepping into another's shoes to argue a truth from another perspective.
Nemrut Dağı Who said there was something wrong with megalomania and narcissism? Antiochus I Theos Dikaios Epiphanes Philorhomaios Philhellenos of Commagene certainly did not think so. This guy, who had a very long name and ruled over the region between 69 and 34 BC, had a very mixed ancestry and was extremely proud of it. Anyone would be proud if they could claim to be a descendant of both the generals of Alexander the Great and the Persian King Darius.

By Lorelle Nottle Driever
MONTCLAIR, NJ – Having returned from the holiday break rested and reinvigorated, the Montclair High School girls and boys swim teams were poised to begin 2019 successfully. This week, that they did, crushing West Essex 135-35 and 131-39, and working hard to beat Millburn 104-66 and 97-73. Both the girls and boys can now boast impressive records of 6-0.
The teams first faced off against West Essex, a notably smaller team, lacking in depth. The girls took first and second in all three relays and swept first, second and third in the 200 IM (Mia Padberg, Gaea Caro, Morgan Crawford), 50 free (Maya Crawford, Kathrynna Demetillo, Carly Fazedin), 100 free (Demetillo, Millie Steffe, Avrianny Thorngren), and 500 free (Lily Foung, Elena Frank, Skyler Edinburg). Foung also won the 100 breast while Devon Muldoon won the 200 IM and 100 back.
The boys too took first and second in all three relays and swept first, second and third in the 200 IM (Sumner Smith, Marcos Gutierrez, Caleb Foung), 50 free (Mizell McEachin, Garrett Chow, Roman Miklaszewski), 100 fly (Tommy White, Leo Powers, Lucas Young), 100 free (McEachin, Smith, Bailey Morganlander) and 100 breast (Justin Ellis, Jarrett Driever, Foung). Driever won the 500 free while Alex Petroff won the 100 back.
Next up: Millburn, always an exciting team to face and one that, until this year, had often defeated the MHS girls and consistently defeated the MHS boys during the dual seasons. The girls, remaining in the lead the entire meet, took firsts in the 200 medley relay (Muldoon, Foung, Demetillo, Julianne Eckert) with a time of 1:59.56, 200 free relay (Caro, Maya Crawford, Padberg, Sol Jordan) with a time of 1:48.83, and 400 free relay (Jordan, Demetillo, Padberg, Muldoon) with a time of 3:55.06. They also took firsts in the 200 free and 100 back (Muldoon), 200 IM (Padberg) and 100 breast (Foung).
The boys, sometimes tied, sometimes lagging behind, provided nail-biting entertainment during much of the meet. In the end, however, they did not disappoint. In the 200 medley relay (Petroff, Ellis, White, McEachin), the first event, the boys swam their best time of 1:43.32, but fell short of taking first, starting the meet behind. They tied it up the next event, when Petroff stepped up and took first in the 200 free with a time of 1:54.19. They then pulled ahead in the 200 IM (Driever, Smith, Foung), taking second, third and fourth, but, thanks to some powerhouses on Millburn, fell and remained behind for the next three events. This was certainly not due to a lack of effort on MHS's part. Rather, during these races, there were some impressive swims, including: McEachin's 50 free (22.97); Ellis's 100 free (51.51); and White's 100 fly (52.94), which satisfies the cut for the state championship. The turning point of the meet arose during the 500 free when Morganlander, Gutierrez and Brenden Goldman took first, second and fourth, respectively, putting MHS in the lead. Thereafter, the 200 free relay team of Smith, Powers, Gutierrez and White took first with a time of 1:34.48, Petroff, Miklaszewski and Gutierrez swept the 100 back, and the 400 free relay team of McEachin, Petroff, Ellis and White finished first, swimming a best time of 3:25.16.

Dream, Girl at TEDWomen
Did you see Komal at the Cannes Film Festival walking the red carpet! Ahhhh! She looked like such a goddess! Check out all the photos from Cannes here, and stay tuned for the link to her panel on women game changers in media hosted by HP coming soon!
"As I sat in the Grand Théâtre Lumière in Cannes, it dawned on me that I do not even know the limit of our dreams and capabilities. This was the theatre that premiered some of the greatest films of all time. So many dreams came true in this space, so many emotions shared. Cannes taught me to keep dreaming, and to keep crushing." – Komal
If you are following us on Instagram you will know last month had the absolute pleasure of attending the TEDWomen conference. Words can't really describe the girl power that TED brings to the table- being in a room with some of the world's most influential women was really humbling and motivating. The power of women supporting women is so transformative and so on at this conference!
We were invited to the conference by TED + Clinique. These two awesome brands have teamed up to promote and showcase women's stories and they love and support our mission to empower girls! They had a gorgeous dinner for us during the conference and we have some more surprises coming your way regarding the partnership later this month. In the meantime check out our album of photos from the TEDWomen conference here.
In other exciting news we are really hyped to announce that we are partnering with the amazing women at Mighty Oak to produce the introduction of the film. Per my mom's suggestion I have decided to share my personal story in the film. What started as a tiny idea has blossomed into such an amazing and life changing movement.
"Erin and I were 'matched up' at a networking event for starting female founders last year, and I'll have to call it kismet. She told me then of her idea for a documentary about inspiring female entrepreneurs, and even though it was still in its infancy, I could see she had the drive and passion to make it happen.
Emily and I were fans of Dream, Girl from the get-go. We invited her crew to film various events that we held for female entrepreneurs, hoping to support the Kickstarter campaign and join the movement. We knew she would reach her goal, but could never have imagined how much support would rally behind the film. It was just overwhelming to watch as friends on the sidelines!
So when we got the call to animate Erin's story for the film, it didn't take long to give an answer. It is an absolute honor to be invited to join the Dream, Girl team and share the journey that brought Dream, Girl to life." – Jess Peterson | Mighty Oak
I feel so privileged to be a part of this journey and am so excited to share my story with the talented women (Jess and Emily) from Mighty Oak. Their stop motion animation expertise will give our story a playful and organic touch with tons of heart. I can't think of a more perfect pair to work with! Check out all the behind the scenes photos of working with Jess & Emily from Mighty Oak here!


text: Emerging Tech Nowhere To Hide Paul Lewis @itworldca Published: April 30th, 2002All those who haven't heard of PIPIDA (Bill C6) go to the back of the class. The Personal Information Privacy and Electronic Documents Act and a raft of supporting provincial legislation regulate the use, collection and disclosure of personal information in the course of commercial activity. The Act started to apply to federally regulated companies from the start last year, but on January 1, 2004 it will extend to cover all Canadian commercial activity at the provincial, inter-provincial, and international level.Given the relatively distant compliance date and the recent emphasis on security, it isn't surprising that privacy is often not a high priority on the corporate agenda. However, there are some compelling reasons for shaping up sooner rather than later.Key Aspects of the LegislationThe Act applies to the collection, use, or disclosure of personal information by any organization involved in commercial activity. PIPIDA lists 10 principles of fair information practices, which form ground rules for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. These principles give individuals control over how their personal information is handled in the private sector. Briefly and informally, the principles are:1. Be Accountable – appointing someone to be accountable for implementing personal information policies and practices.2. Identify Purpose – identifying why personal information is needed and how it will be used, and informing the person concerned.3. Obtain Consent – obtaining and recording consent from each individual whose information you collect, use, or disclose.4. Limit Collection – not collecting information you do not need for the stated purpose.5. Limit Use, Disclosure, Retention – limit use and disclosure of the information to the purpose it was collected for, keep it only as long as is needed, and then destroy it. If you find a new purpose for the information you must go back and re-obtain consent for that purpose.6. Be Accurate – ensure that the information you have is as accurate as it needs to be for the purpose, particularly where use of inaccurate information could be harmful to the individual.7. Use Appropriate Safeguards – there is no privacy without security. Personal information must be protected from unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, modification, or use.8. Be Open – inform everyone about your privacy policies and procedures in a readily understandable manner.9. Give Individuals Access – give individuals access to all the information you hold about them (in any form) and provide a means to update it; tell them how it has been used and with whom it has been shared and when.10. Inform Complainants – develop simple and accessible complaint procedures; inform complainants about official avenues of recourse.The challenges for businessComplying with the legislation is not without challenges. Obtaining and recording information will require a consent mechanism for your Web site and call centre processes. Using appropriate safeguards may well require updating your security best practices to a demonstrable standard (such as the International Standard ISO17799).There are even more challenges. Complying with the requirements of individual access may require you to have an excellent grasp of your corporate information architecture. Do you know what information you hold about your customers? Where is it stored? One would assume it is in your customer databases, but what about all those other data extracts, such as data held on PCs in spreadsheets, internal paper records, and information shared with other offices, trading partners, and suppliers? What privacy practices are in place with outside groups?While the compliance date seems quite a way off, companies should act now. Why? Some might recall the pain of implementing Y2K compliance uncomfortably close to the deadline: it's tempting to put off the work, and then struggle to the finish. This Act does have teeth in terms of potential hefty fines for non-compliance, and the threat of negative press is very real.If fines and public embarrassment don't strike fear into you, consider the impact on the other systems you are working on: your Data Warehouse, the Knowledge Management system, CRM implementation, and those new Customer Information Systems that pull together your information in new and valuable ways. These applications must also be compliant. Your organization will need to complete a Privacy Impact Assessment for each project to ensure you don't build in liabilities for the future.The cost of reengineering at the front end is always much lower than trying to play catch-up in later development cycles. More critically they may directly impact the ROI that the system was supposed to deliver if that ROI was based on disallowed activities.Who Do You Trust?If you remain unconvinced then let me add one more good reason – trust. Trust remains the main barrier to the growth of e-business and the public acceptance of new technologies (smart-cards are an example). If I can't trust you to keep my information safe, to not share it indiscriminately, and to not spam me with wonderful offers you have established I'll like (based on creative rearrangement of my customer profile), then guess what? I'm not doing business with you. Trust is essential to all customer relationships and the best underpinning for trust is good privacy practice, irrespective of any legislative requirement.We can predict that the Act may well be subject to legal interpretations and even legislative modifications. However, implementing best practices in order to minimize the pain of future compliance, and avoid expensive system reworks, is sound IT management. Building trust with your customers through good privacy practices is basic business sense.For further details the privacy com-missioner of Canada Web site (http://www.privcom.gc.ca/information/guide_e.asp) has excellent guidance for companies on the corporate responsibilities required to comply with the Act.Paul Lewis is Associate Director, Security & Privacy Services, at DMR Consulting'sToronto office.

Join us for a celebration of the language diversity!
The purpose of this festival is to show the great linguistic diversity of languages in existence. It is our hope, that by the end of this event, you'll not only have gained a greater insight into the languages on display, but also have realised, that no matter its size, all languages are equally important in the eyes of their native speakers.
Each language at the festival will be presented in thirty minute segments, covering both their linguistic and cultural aspects. Several language lessons will be given at any one time (the so-called "language parallels") so each visitor can tailor their experience. The languages presented include Aboriginal languages, Israeli, Esperanto, Bangala, Portuguese, Russian and more.
See more: http://www.languagefestival.org
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
No age limit! This is the event for the whole family
What are my transport/parking options getting to the event?
The State Library of NSW (event venue) is within short walk the Martin Place train station. No free parking around.
Is my registration/ticket transferrable?
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
No. The entry is FREE and available to everyone.


text: I've just come across an article that talks about email etiquette, specifically about using BCC in emails. The BCC, or blind carbon copy, is where you can copy someone into your mail message without the recipient of your message knowing. For example, you might be writing to your boss and want to let a colleague know without your boss' knowledge. So it's a bit underhand, but there are uses for it. For example, if you wanted to send out a newsletter to a large number of people who didn't know each other and probably wouldn't want to share their email addresses, BCC is ideal. You may also want to email someone a link for a useful article and keep a copy for yourself in Evernote, you could BCC into your private notebook email address. Actually, you could also use it in the same to post to blogs as several blog platforms allow for email posts. Sadly though, other than for mass mailing, BCC is used for the underhand reasons and I've fallen victim to this in the past (a good few years past) and I have to say I've not used BCC in a long time. There are better ways to mass mail anyway, so BCC should really quietly sit in a dark corner, not to come out. It's interesting to see that recent revisions of email programs don't actually default to showing the BCC field anymore and this probably a good thing.

DOE engineers new enzyme
Scientists at the U.S. DOE's Brookhaven National Laboratory have engineered an enzyme to aid in the conversion of plant material into cellulosic ethanol. The enzyme breaks down lignin in a plant's cell walls. Biochemist Chang-Jun Liu, whose work has focused on lignin alteration, said the ultimate goal is to apply the enzyme to feedstocks, making the plants more easily digested and fermentable. Liu's team compared the genetic code of the new enzyme with information from enzymes involved in lignin synthesis to build the new model. Liu said Brookhaven's engineered enzyme is "totally changed," adding that the team still needs time to determine how the enzyme will affect lignin biosynthesis.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Ear Infections in Babies
Many parents today are concerned about the drug and surgical approaches of many medical doctors and are looking for natural approaches to their children's health.
One of the most common ailments of young children is recurring ear infections. There are variety of different reasons why your child may be suffering from recurring ear infections. Keep reading to learn more.
Some children and babies have decreased immune system function due to which they are more vulnerable to different forms of infections. Otitis Media (OM) mostly occurs in babies who have been ill due to the flu or cold. Viruses and bacteria find a way into the middle ear leading to ear infections. Sometimes mechanical obstructions caused by the structural misalignment inside the ear such as skull, jawbones and cervical spine lead to blockage. In such cases, fluid builds up near the eustachian tube and eardrum providing a place for the microbes to grow and create an infection in the ear.
Other Reasons for Ear Infection
One of the biggest causes of OM is birth trauma. Babies born with traumatic births or interventions such as vacuum extraction and forceps or by pulling the neck are more at risk of facing cranial or spinal cord injury. Cesarean sections also can put a severe strain on the neck as the baby is pulled from the incision site. In the U.S, alone 35 percent of infants born through C-section suffer from ear infections. Drugs given to the newborn can further aggravate the condition. In 50 percent of the children over 10 months, use of pacifiers or sucking mechanism has been found to be the cause behind such infections. Some research also shows that the overuse of antibiotics can cause infection in the ear.
How can Upper Cervical Chiropractic Adjustments Help?
To ensure that the ear infections do not occur in the newborn children, doctors suggest chiropractic adjustments. In the upper cervical chiropractic approach, the doctor corrects the interference in the nervous system by adjusting the misalignments of the upper neck. This procedure also has an influence on the jaw, cranial bones and spinal column without using any surgical procedure or drugs.
These corrections also decrease inflammation, muscle tension and increase mobility. Due to this proper flow of blood and drainage of lymph is made possible which is necessary for the smooth functioning of the Eustachian tube and middle ear. According to a study conducted by Dr. Joan Fallon, upper cervical chiropractic mobilizes the process of ear drainage with children and regular draining stops the buildup of fluid which is the main cause of infection. This gives the body time to build antibodies and recover much faster. One study showed that 80 percent of children did not show any further infection after undergoing upper cervical chiropractic adjustments.
Dr. Tymothy Flory, Dr. James Weiss and Dr. Jameson Wong of Atlas Spinal Care in Upland, California are Upper Cervical Specialists trained by the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA). Their upper cervical clinic also serves Claremont, La Verne, San Dimas, Glendora and surrounding areas. They are uniquely trained to correct problems in the upper cervical spine (upper neck). This vital area is intimately connected to the central nervous system and problems in this area have been shown to be an underlying cause of a variety of different health problems.

by Rev. Monique McBride, FUMC Ft. Lauderdale, FL
First, read Matthew 2:1-12
Gifts. At this point in the season of Advent, the word gifts probably makes you think of the giant pile of presents left to wrap or the few (or more) gifts you still have to purchase before the big day. The word gifts may make you think of all the money you didn't mean to spend or the gift you wish you could buy but just can't afford. It may even make you think of an unfortunate sweater or tie gifted to you which you're just not sure how to say thank you for.
All of these ways of thinking about gifts point us toward scarcity and not abundance. They point us toward the stress of the season, the worrisome need to make Christmas bigger and better and the hope of satisfaction through materialism. Yet, all of this is the complete opposite of those three special gifts given to the baby Jesus by the wise men.
Though we are not sure of their number, we know that the wise men came from the east bringing with them the three gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. As these were costly gifts usually intended for royalty, this gesture is meant to be a sign of honor from those outside Jewish culture -- yet another proclamation of the universality of Jesus' Lordship. More than anything else, they symbolize honor and joyful generosity.
With a few precious hours before Christmas, I invite you to think about the nature of gift giving and the spirit in which you find yourself today. Perhaps you have prepared your heart well and are excited to give the gifts you've purchased and prepared. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed with the stress of everything still to do. Maybe you're secretly waiting for all of the stuff and nonsense of Christmas to be over.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, what would it look like to liken yourself to those three wise men? As far at times as the Christmas story seems, it isn't out of the question to feel as distant from it as those men traveling from the east. What would it look like to recast your vision of the days to come out of a place of joyful generosity? The only change needed is a reminder of all that has been gifted to you already. Think of the people in your past who have shared the love of Jesus with you. They are a gift from God. Think of the times when you felt lost or without God and a certain scripture or friend comforted you. These are gifts from God. Think of a time when you were able to help someone in need. This too is a gift from God. Though all of these gifts surround us, they can at times be difficult to see. Like the stars over a city of bright lights, we can often miss the subtly of God's presence in the hustle and bustle of the world. Yet, all we have to do is pause and remind ourselves of these gifts and suddenly we feel as blessed and willing to give to others as those three (or however many) wise men.
God of abundant and unending gifts, bless this season of giving which is about to begin. Help our hearts to remember the many gifts we've been given and guide us to give to others out of our own abundant joy and appreciation. Amen.
On Christmas Eve Eve, our thoughts turn to the story of the wise men in the gospel of Matthew. This story found only in the book of Matthew is the story which brings us the three little wise men usually seen in our nativity scenes. Yet, the story really didn't happen as our nativity scene suggests. Though we like to think there were three kings, the only thing we know for sure is that there were three gifts. The three gifts brought to Jesus of gold, frankincense and myrrh were gifts of great worth. The wise men, though not Jewish, came a great distance and followed the star to the baby Jesus. They gave what was precious to them as they knew there was something precious about the baby King.
Read the story of the wise men together found in Matthew 2:1-12. Then, think of three things that are precious to your family which you would like to give to Jesus. They could be plans to do something after all the excitement of Christmas is over. They could be promises to put Jesus first in all you do. They could be actual gifts which you give to those in need. Wrap up your gifts and place them under your Christmas tree or near your Nativity.
What sort of gift is precious to you and how can you use it to honor Jesus?

There is nothing worse than being accused of something you haven't done and nothing worse than a jealous nagging woman. Also nothing worse than a man who can't keep his eyes on his wife. I've been to a message therapist and there was nothing ungodly that happened or come close to happening. He was very respectful in everyway.
on 1/17/15
First you need to get educated on what draping is because your remark that women are giving your husband a free peep show is so far off base to what draping is that it makes you appear highly ignorant.
Second your remark about loving and trusting your husband is irrelevant because if you did then his profession would not be what you believe would drive a wedge between you and your husband and most likely there are many things your husband does that you constantly find issue with about other women and his profession is just a decoy for your own insecurities.
The solution is you because you cannot "trust" someone yet find fault in them when there is no fault in them to begin with.
on 1/17/15
Oh, he is a "medical" massage professional. So, he is not going to get so personal, possibly, with people who come to him.
And, "of course", a lady worker can prepare each patient, and stay with them, then he can leave before the patient gets out from under the cover.
And, "of course", he may already be doing this. Have you actually talked with him about what is really happening?
By the way, I have found that women trying to flash themselves are not very well-developed for relating personally. Plus, they can look wasted and used, because of the ugliness of their sin. So, if you have love with each other, he can see your superior beauty (c: of God's love > 1 Peter 3:4.

It could also be that you are projecting what you yourself are in what you called her husband.

Ha. I've seen me as a jerk in the mirror many times. An you ... more. (almost joking)
The difference between me and you is I'm man enough to admit it.
Dr low is obviously telling her of she wouldn't know.
He could resolve the problem, which is him.
Notice that you'd rather keep this on a worldly level than discuss scriptures detailing that GOD was Jealous and married. Your tell is what you don't/won't/can't discuss Cluny. You can't, for orthodogma reasons we'd suspect.
You talk some talk but don't walk any talk.

\\he may be the jerk as I'm suspecting in telling his wife stories.
---Trav on 1/13/15\\
It could more likely be that he's trying to be as open with his wife as professional ethics permit.
It could also be that she cross-examines him every day and despite her protestations of love and trust, does neither, as she's terribly insecure.
It could also be that you are projecting what you yourself are in what you called her husband.

You need to pray to the Lord about your jealousy and evil imaginations.
---Cluny on 1/12/15
I have no remedy here. You say Pray...you'd be right.
Jealousy is not her problem it is very natural as seen by our own GOD.
GOD is a Jealous GOD. Israel the wife was warned and she still persisted.
Exo_34:14 For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
Psa_79:5 How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
Pro_6:34 For jealousy is the rage of a man: therefore he will not spare in the day of vengeance.
The Husband could find the solution easily...he may be the jerk as I'm suspecting in telling his wife stories.

I thought that this was a blog where you could talk about problems and get advice from other christians.
You are getting advice. It just not the advice that you want. You want to "grab the bull by the horns" and fix a problem that
is only a problem to you
(I have not read that your husband is complaining that he can't do his job).
Your husband has seen their lady parts for 6 years: he has not left you. Thus, none of them have managed to lure him away from you. Your husband can't control their actions. The company is not going to take any stance that causes them to lose money.
The only real solution -- pray. Only Jesus can really fix your unrest.

\\The problem is not me, but the seductively dressed Jezebelles that get some kind of sick thrill from showing themselves to my husband while he is just trying to make a living.\\
And how many times have you seen this actually happen?
Or does your husband tell you about it?
As long as he does, you have nothing to worry about.
But I really think you're just imagining things. NO health professional would allow a spouse to chaperone treatments.
You need to pray to the Lord about your jealousy and evil imaginations.
What did you expect or want? "Oh, you poor girl, how much you suffer"?

\\The problem is when female clients expose themselves to him before getting the massage\\
And how many female clients have flashed your husband? Can you give me an exact number?
I'm sure any exposure is accidental.
You yourself admit that your husband is acting in an entirely professional and ethical manner.
The Bible says that perfect love casts out fear.
Why are you so afraid and insecure? You need to search your heart, and then give it up to Jesus.

Beth, you probably are not going to find such a blog. I do understand your dilemma as far as you have told. I do agree with wanting to protect your family as well as yourself. But, as far as advice, a coin with one side is not worth anything and all we can do is speculate. And that is not good for you or family.
on 1/11/15
Yes there is several differences. He is trained in draping and exposes only the area worked on a the time and only works the glutes covered and does not massage the breasts or genitals. The problem is when female clients expose themselves to him before getting the massage. I thought that this was a blog where you could talk about problems and get advice from other christians.

NurseRobert, I have a feeling that this does not bother your wife. Nursing includes clinical observation and exams, and it really is not the same.

the only "solution" is to ask him to choose another vocation that does not involve nudity if it bothers you so.

Well, guess, Im up a creek, aka. In my 30 years as a nurse, I have seen more nudes that Hugh Hefner. Not ONCE have I been tempted.

Suitable help...that is short and sweet.
on 1/11/15
\\my compliments to you. the actual hebrew word used does not actually mean help mate. \\
There is no such word as "help mate" or "helpmeet".
This is a mistaken reading of Genesis, where two separate words are used: "Help"" meaning counterpart, and "meet" meaning suitable or appropriate, as in the liturgical phrase, "it is meet and right so to do."

If your husband is a Spirit-filled Christian, he already has a "Husband" and does not need you to shield and protect him 'as you would protect your children'. Your husband is not your child and you can't possibly shield and protect as well as Jesus can.

You're in fear and are insecure. Both are from Satan. It's not a peepshow if your husband is seeing a client he needs to help.

Eve, a help meet.-Beth
my compliments to you. the actual hebrew word used does not actually mean help mate. this has the connotation of secretary or side kick. the actual word means forward shield and protection.
look where the ribs are. look what the ribs protect. the Fathers breath of life in man. in turn, the arms of a man, his strength protect the second weakest bones in the body. 2 as 1. also, spiritually and physically, man needs to have proper nourishment and not take in what might injure from the inside.
it sounds like your pleas are being dismissed...making you feel vulnerable.
i surely hope the solution does not come after a real problem. nagging will not help now. be patient and be ready.

He has been a Medical Massage Therapists for 6 years.
In Genesis 2:18 God said that it was not good that man be should be alone,then he created Eve, a help meet.
Sometimes God reveals to a spouse things that the other does not see. A married woman who loves and trusts her husband should shield and protect him from potential harm, just like you do for your children.

If he can handle contact without getting in trouble, I would say seeing her would not be so much of a thing.
I find that now that I have had love with a lady, I do not care much about what other women look like or feel like. Because love satisfies me more. If I start looking, I also can get "homesick" for how I could be in love, instead.
Possibly, contact and sight, for him, have become commonplace. What they can show him can't come close to the love you share (c: But it can be good to talk, but consider keeping your mind on things above > Colossians 3:1-4 > be prayerfully careful about what gets your attention, in your conversations.

If you truly loved and trusted your husband, you would have no trouble, now would you?
It's not up to YOU to find a solution, as you are not the licensed professional who has to deal with this issue.

Would you have the same problem if your husband were a gynecologist or breast cancer surgeon?

Perhaps a female in the office can fully prep and position any female patient so that your husband is the final contact person.
Another thought: a Lion will not eat straw under any circumstance. Thus, the lion cannot be tempted by the notion of straw.
Likewise a fully satisfied husband cannot possibly by tempted by the 8,000th female form he's seen, especially where love and trust have been the foundation of 32 years of faithful satisfaction with his wife.

(by Scott McCartney, The Wall Street Journal, WSJ.com) – Airlines will have extra staff, spare airplanes and plentiful plastic bags for shipping car seats. Airports will have executives working as greeters, gifts in Los Angeles for restless kids in long lines, and people with big yellow clipboards in Boston acting as roving information booths.
Yet even with most elaborate preparations for the crowded Thanksgiving travel rush, which starts this weekend, the lowdown is that the pat-downs could sour some family feasts. An estimated 24 million people will fly over … this Thanksgiving holiday, according to the Air Transport Association. That's up 3.5% over last year.
While bad weather is usually the biggest threat to holiday travel, there's a bigger concern this year: new Transportation Security Administration procedures, including full-body scans and aggressive pat-downs that have screeners feeling inside waistbands and touching [private areas].
The body scanners-385 of them now deployed at 68 airports-have raised privacy and radiation-exposure concerns. And the pat-downs, which started Nov. 1, have drawn fire from travel groups, lawmakers, civil-rights advocates, and pilot and flight-attendant unions.
The fear is that Thanksgiving travelers-many of them students, families and older people who fly once or twice a year-will be unfamiliar with TSA procedures and slow to get through checkpoints. Full-body scanners require removal of wallets, belts, jewelry and everything inside pockets.
"With people getting partially molested at checkpoints, all that is going to be a real shock for them," said Greg Wells, senior vice president of operations at Southwest Airlines. "TSA will create an issue for us. It's going to slow things down."
Southwest will have employees with walkie-talkies at checkpoints to hold airplane departures if passengers are stuck in long lines.
Previously, TSA screeners just did a cursory check with the back of their hand, avoiding sensitive areas. Now, anyone who sets off a metal detector, refuses to go through a full-body scan, or has anything on his or her body that the scanner picks up will get the new, more-thorough pat-down procedure.
The changes close gaps identified both by would-be terrorists and by government investigators who covertly try to smuggle weapons through to test the effectiveness of screening, said TSA Administrator John Pistole.
"If you have two planes, one where people are thoroughly and properly screened and the other where people could opt out of screening, which would you want to be on?" he asked.
American Airlines and Southwest both say the Tuesday before Thanksgiving is now busier than Wednesday. The busiest day of the whole holiday remains the Sunday following Thanksgiving, but Monday is hectic, too.
To help relieve congestion and reduce delays, the Federal Aviation Administration said it is opening up some restricted military air space a day earlier this year. Starting at 6 a.m. eastern time Tuesday, commercial airlines will have several additional corridors for flights off the East Coast, plus additional routes across the Gulf of Mexico, into and out of Southern California and across New Mexico. The program ends at 6 a.m. eastern time Nov. 29.
Southwest, the largest domestic carrier in terms of passengers, says it will have extra baggage handlers on duty because it expects an avalanche of luggage since it is the only U.S. airline that lets passengers check two bags without paying additional fees.
Workers who stack suitcases inside airplanes while on their knees get tired quickly and will need more-frequent breaks, and the Thanksgiving rush means extra hands will be needed in baggage-sorting rooms to avoid jams, said Southwest's Mr. Wells. "It's all hands on deck," he said.
Even the airline's strategy for cancellations is different. "We won't be canceling anything. We'll just run late to get everyone where they want to go," Mr. Wells said.
United Airlines and others schedule workers differently during the holidays because the clientele is different. People who don't travel often tend to show up at the airport sooner, so more workers may be needed at check-in counters earlier, said Scott Dolan, senior vice president of airport operations.
In Los Angeles, 150 airport employees, from custodians to senior management, will wear red vests and work the departures level for the third year. They direct travelers to check-in or security lines, answer questions like how long it will take to get through lines and try to relieve anxiety, even giving away coloring books and squishy airplane toys to kids and hand-sanitizer wipes, puzzle books and luggage tags to adults.
"It's all intended to relieve the pain and anxiety of travel," said Barbara Yamamoto, customer service director at Los Angeles International Airport and head of the Thanksgiving effort.
Boston's Logan Airport has a similar program called "BOS Team," with administrative staff working as greeters and line managers who pull people to the front when their flights are soon to depart. They carry yellow clipboards with a big question mark on them to make them easy to spot.
"They look for the lost face," said Brad Martin, deputy director of aviation who runs Logan's effort at Thanksgiving.

2. What are airports doing to make travel easier for passengers? Be specific.
3. What is the Federal Aviation Administration doing to help reduce flight delays this Thanksgiving?
4. a) What usually causes the biggest delays/problems with air travel over Thanksgiving?
b) What is expected to cause the biggest problems/delays in airports over Thanksgiving this year? Be specific.
5. a) How has airport screening changed since November 1, 2010?
b) What concerns do travelers have with the new screening methods?
6. a) The new TSA screening method requires a passenger to go through a full body scan, or if he refuses, to receive an invasive 2 minute pat-down. It has been in place less than a month. If this is the best method for keeping us safe many wonder how good a job the TSA was doing before November 1st. Read the bullet points below. What do you think about Abdulmutallab's ability to fly, and the U.S. visa he was permitted to keep?
b) Are the suggestions about Israeli airport security in "Profile Me if You Must" below a good idea? Explain your answer.

Microsoft Surface Has Officially… Surfaced!
Back in June, Microsoft officially announced Surface, their foray into the competitive tablet market. Today, the Surface tablet is officially available for pre-order, with a shipping date of 10/26.
We LOVE the color and sleek design, but even more exciting is that for the first time in a long time, Microsoft has released a video that we actually think is cool. (Props to their marketing team!) Check it out:
Wondering about the price of this little guy? MS says they will go for $499 for the basic 32GB tablet, without the touch cover that adds a lot of functionality. The 32GB with the cover is $599 and the 64GB tablet with the cover is $699. Yikes, that's a bit steep. Would you pay this much for a tablet?
Now getting into the technical aspects you may be wondering about… currently the Surface is available only with Windows RT, a scaled back version of the Windows 8 operating system designed specifically for devices like tablets. However, the Microsoft site indicates that Surface tablets will be available with the Windows 8 operating system in the near future. Could an entirely new Mac vs. PC campaign could begin soon?
The Surface will work only with apps from the Windows Store, which is kind of a bummer considering all of the great apps only available through iTunes. But we're kind of pumped because it will work with Office Home and Student, which are pretty reliable productivity products in addition to our good friends, Google Docs.
Could an entirely new Mac vs. PC campaign could begin soon? We admit, we've been Mac-fanatics for the past few years, but Microsoft is certainly beginning to shift in a good direction. Pretty colors, bold design, a simplified user interface… we're impressed. We're hoping to play with one of these when they launch and will keep you posted on if and when we convert.
Are you planning on purchasing a Surface tablet? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

Nine months after I posted it, that undying Trump tweet is back again, no doubt exhumed by some well-meaning celebrity and spread around by thousands of well-meaning resisters. There is no stopping it at this point, no use in deleting the original tweet—it's spread far beyond Twitter now. For reasons I can't comprehend, a screenshot of an author no one's ever heard of clapping back at the president about a book hardly anyone has read has become the stuff of meme aggregators and viral sharing, and no amount of debunking can slow it down.
Nevertheless, it's time once again to do my duty as the accidental creator of this monster and post my little explanation and semi-apology. Most people will never see this post and half the ones who do will ignore all this tedious text about how THE TWEET IS NOT REAL and immediately start commenting as if the tweet is real. Well, so be it. At least I'll have somewhere to send all the people flooding my inbox with congratulations and curses.
In early January, as I was deep into promoting my new book, THE BURNING WORLD, I thought of a way to talk about the book that seemed more fun than just endlessly tooting my own horn. Trump's petty Twitter feuds with public figures were a running gag that was still funny back in January, before 9 months of relentless absurdity sucked all the humor out of the world. How funny would it be, I thought, to imagine him starting a feud with ME, an obscure author of zombie fiction, because he thought the grotesque and insane corporate warlord who's exploiting the apocalypse is supposed to be HIM?
So I photoshopped a series of tweets in which Trump attacks my writing, makes fun of my hair, says I have a small penis, and predicts that my book will flop and I'll end up living on the streets. (Which came true, by the way.) Then I posted my "responses" to all these tweets in which I start out strong and sassy, then gradually break down under his relentless assault.
It was a little piece of Twitter theater. Performance art, if you will. To anyone who knew who I was, it was obviously a joke. THE BURNING WORLD was getting zero media attention and had only sold a few hundred copies. I was walking around town stapling up posters by hand and asking friends to hand out flyers. There was no imaginable universe in which Donald Trump knew about my book and found it threatening. Hence: COMEDY!
Not "lies." Not "fraud." Not "fake news" or ANY "NEWS" AT ALL. Just a guy with a few thousand followers posting silly pranks on Twitter.
But then somehow…the tweet blew up. Not the whole increasingly absurd sequence with the ending that underlines the joke. Just the first one. The most plausible one.
Very quickly, my silly prank was plucked out of its natural context and dumped onto THE WORLD STAGE, spotlighted by celebrities and spread around the internet by earnest activists and professional Trump haters. In that context it looked a lot less silly and a lot more real. And as the REAL Donald Trump continued to out-silly himself, the line between parody and reality continued to erode.
Now it's October, nine months later, and we're so inundated with political satire that the very concept rings hollow. None of this is funny anymore. Making a Trump joke feels like joy-buzzing a corpse, watching it lurch slightly and go still again. It's gross and dare I say it, SAD. So people see this tweet and they take it dead seriously. Or they find out that it's fake and can't comprehend it as comedy. All they see is an author's pathetic attempt to sell books by making himself a victim, a martyr, a CAUSE.
No no NO NO NO.
PLEASE look at the context. The context of its TIME—a simpler, more innocent time, nine months ago. The context of its PLACE—the generally ignored Twitter feed of a small-time fiction writer who's been posting absurd, trollish nonsense for years. Nothing on that feed should be subjected to the intellectual rigor this tweet is getting. You don't have to find it funny, but you do have to acknowledge what it was. Not an editorial in The New Yorker. Not an article on CNN. A joke on Twitter.
If you thought it was funny, laugh. If you thought it was real, don't be mad or embarrassed. It's not your fault—or mine—that Trump has made something so silly seem so plausible.
Ok, now that you've ignored all the above text, go ahead and read the tweets below and comment very sincerely about them because you still think they're real. Enjoy!

Dance & Enjoy The Sun
We visited the Indianapolis Zoo a couple of weekends ago. It was a gorgeous day - ample opportunity for laughs and learning for the kids and the adults, and of course, for photos.
Taking photos leads to opportunities to view moments in ways differently than I might otherwise view them.
This "little" fellow was amazing. He was standing with his eyes closed, swaying side-to-side. He was dancing to his own music and we were allowed the privelege of watching.
And what of this guy? Do you think "yuck" as you see him (as my daughter proclaimed) or perhaps think of what he might be experiencing - a blissful moment feeling the warmth on his face?
Perhaps we are fortunate to be human because we can re-member the true nature, simplicity, and beauty of life.
Or perhaps we are unfortunate because we can (and all too often, do) forget.

Creative Cities, Cultural Clusters and Local Economic Development
Edited by Philip Cooke and Luciana Lazzeretti
Chapter 9: Knowledge Externalities and Networks of Cities in the Creative Metropolis
Joan Trullén and Rafael Boix
Joan Trullén and Rafael Boix 1. INTRODUCTION Cities and metropolitan areas are our main production and development driving force. They have long concentrated and co-ordinated the use of urbanized land, labour and capital. Urban land has been transformed, becoming independent from the forces of nature and filled with a network of infrastructures and artificial resources. Urban labour has been divided and organized, and has acquired specialized skills and the superior skills of continuous learning and creativity. Capital is also concentrated in cities and, as was eminently described by Marshall (1890 [1920]), mainly consists of knowledge and organization. Metropolitan areas produce, process, exchange and market the greater part of knowledge and creativity in the world. At the same time (and for this reason) they generate agglomeration economies and obtain spatially mobile network economies from their links with other cities. The combined ability to generate knowledge, creativity and external economies turns cities and metropolitan areas into the most powerful of productive artefacts, becoming a keystone for development and competitiveness. Metropolitan growth is the sum of the growth of the cities that form the metropolitan area. Why do some metropolitan cities grow faster than others? The hypothesis is that the differential growth of metropolitan cities is related to the existence of external economies within and between cities, many of which arise from knowledge and creativity. The objective of the study is to understand and model how the external economies affect intrametropolitan urban growth, with special attention to the e...
