The Night it All Started
I feel like I should start from the beginning. The real beginning. Or perhaps I should say the whole beginning. We've told the story of Paul and I sitting at a table on a restaurant patio in downtown Atlanta. It was late evening. Market lights glimmered above us. We had just finished teaching at a two-day photography workshop so we were exhausted, but also energized by the stories of success and struggle we heard from fellow photographers.
Those of you who know Paul well, you know that he's a man of few words. Normally, I am the talker, but this night was different. Paul led the conversation from the moment we sat down. He was talking about the state of the photography industry, reasons why he believed photographers were struggling, what he wanted to change about his own photography... He wanted photographers, including himself, to figure out what they could give the world. He wanted to figure out what made him different, something that he could give that the world actually needed. Paul wanted his work to have purpose. After he spoke those words, we sat in silence, for a while actually. Then, moments later, Paul and I looked at each other right in the eyes. At the same time we both spoke, "It's the Blessing".
Not much was said after that. There was a lot of silence. I think we both knew that something important had just happened, but of course we didn't really know what. That night was the beginning of Paul's personal project. But something else happened that night that I haven't shared with anyone yet. My cell phone rang at 11:30pm. Paul and I were still sitting under the market lights. It was my dad. I knew something was wrong when I saw his name on my phone. I whispered, "Hey Dad, is everything ok?"
He said, "Kristin, are you with Paul?"
I said, "Yes Dad. He's right here."
"Kristin, are you sitting down?"
"Yes, I'm sitting down Dad... Dad, what's wrong?"
"Kristin... Jill is dead."
Time stopped. The market lights disappeared.
Jill was my first cousin. She was an incredible woman who lived her life for others. One day, I want to tell you more about Jill and my family, as both have shaped the woman I am. But I'm honestly just not ready. What I can tell you now is that somehow Jill is a part of all of this... we just don't yet know how.
After I hung up the phone with my dad that night, Paul and I didn't talk about the Blessing for almost a year. We associated it with Jill's passing and it was too painful. But the time eventually came when we had to admit that we had been given a project. Now, we finally had the strength and vision to complete it.

EP159- The Guys 'Disc Jam' About 'Wonder Woman'
Shaun Cordingley
This week, Shaun (@Shauncord) and Dave (@davidronn) actually manage to answer a couple of questions this week...for a SECOND WEEK IN A ROW
First off, for Matt, The Guys take a look at the PS4 game Disc Jam (which came out as a part of PS Plus for March 2017). It's kind of their first ever game review segment, which also ends up with them talking about playing the game, learning it, and Shaun "Tebowing" after every win.
Second, for Bob, The Guys take a look at the Origins Trailer for Wonder Woman, and it largely devolves into a conversation on the direction of the DC movies, what their expectations are like, and Dave being worried about there being too much backstory (even though he doesn't know much about Wonder Woman to begin with...)
Send us your questions! We're open to anything for the rest of our March Podcasts, and early April!. Hit us up individually on Twitter, together @guysfrompodcast, or via email on our website www.theguysfrom.com
Special Thanks to The Sweets (www.wearethesweets.com) for our opening music ("Prairie Blues").
Plus, thanks to Kevin MacLeod for "Carefree" for our advertisement, and "Fearless First" wrapping the episode up.

"I can take care of you"
"You can't take care of me for shit!" Turning around, hands in the air melo-dramatic, she paused and looked down on the floor, confused and concentrating.
"Okay that's unfair; I wouldn't know how to let you take care of me".
He smiled. Whenever she over-exaggerated the situation, or closed her eyes to his true feelings, it shocked him, but he knew her too well, he wouldn't ever hold her shadow of distance against her. "Do you realise you're never sweet? I know about your front of insecurities but you never tell me you like me or show it for that matter. Well beyond …
… Your wall is so rock solid that I can't even find the cracks to try to put a hand through. In fact, I'd do anything for you, and you know that. To the naked eye I'm patiently waiting, but in fact my insides are burning for the day you will say you'll be mine." It wasn't in his habit to be so open with anyone, to have to explain himself; it was harder for him to find the words. She said things with so much meaning in every pebble of a word.
He tried to continue, "instead you, I don't know, I feel like you're waiting to get up and leave me any day now. Impatiently looking out for the reason. And trust me you'll find it, even though you keep throwing my arrogance in my face, I would never suggest I'm better than you in this life."
"None of this matters, you know what I want, but you don't address it, neither do you try to look at how unfair it is on me, how you hurt me."
Don't walk away from her, settle down, "I know you better than to call you selfish, but sometimes you do a great job of playing her".

Save yourself a few dollars rather than the Woolies/coles bulk packs as these are same quality tissues
Packaging/recycling conscience buyers
Although bulk carton goods are normally protected in their own branded boxes, the seller has packed them within amazon boxes with air pillow satchels. Good thing though is that the satchels are meant to be recyclable looking at the printed symbol.
I guess if the seller could reduce the packaging to some extent then this would not only be economical for the seller but save space in my recycling bin and be a plus for the environment. Or i could just blow my runny nose in a rag and wash it ;)

Crunch Time for Bees
by Kate Franzman
Fall isn't really the time of year we think about bees. Fall is for pumpkins, crisp air, crunching leaves, Halloween and spooky things. This time of year, however, is crucial to many insects, especially honeybees.
Let me tell you about the birds and the bees, aka pollination. Since plants can't just get up and walk across the yard to reproduce, they rely on pollinators to do the job for them. And bees need plants, too. They gather the sweet nectar, take it back to the hive, and create honey. Honey is bees' food year-round, but it's especially crucial in the colder months, when bees won't come outside the hive and nothing's blooming anyway.
Right now, it's crunch time for the bees. They are working their little stingers off to create a store of honey that will get them through the impending cold season.
Unfortunately, that supply doesn't go as far as it used to. Scientists have found that climate change is altering the nutrition of plants. The nectar in some plants is starchier and the pollen, which bees also eat, has less protein. This results in poor nutrition and a weakened immune system for bees, leaving them more vulnerable to parasites such as varroa mites.
So as we round the corner to Thanksgiving and other holidays where we celebrate the abundance of Mother Nature, let us not forget the humble bee, and all she's given us (a third of our food supply). Maybe our New Year's Resolution will be to give her something back.

T. Lees Soap Co.
T. Lees Soap Co. began as a hobby and the desire of its founder, Tricia Lees, to create beauty products and candles that were personal, high quality, and made by hand for personal use and as gifts for friends and family. The gifts were such an overwhelming success that she started getting requests to do wedding favors, and gift baskets and as they say, the rest is history!
It is important to remember that natural soap contains no harsh chemicals or preservatives, so although it will last as long as any commercial soap it does need a little extra care.
To enjoy a long-lasting bar of soap don't let it get soggy, so don't leave it submerged in water for too long, and try to keep it away from shower spray.
Keep it well-drained (allow it to dry) between uses - ideally by using a ridged or self-draining soap dish - or leave it to stand on its end so that air can circulate around it.

2017 | Week 08
I love that I'm not including the week numbers in my album this year, but it also makes it confusing when you're trying to remember which week you're sharing. Thankfully post-it notes come to the rescue almost every time. This is week 08 (assuming my note was correct).
The "busy being happy" card is an old Dear Lizzy and the rest are past Ali Edwards kits. I love that her Story Kits allow you to tell a wider variety of stories, like how a neighborhood cat surprised me by climbing onto the railing of our deck and watching me through the window.
I don't always include 3x4 photos, mostly because I hate doing the work of collaging them together to print, but I like using them because it's one less 3x4 card I have to find. My favourite part of this entire spread is seeing the bookwall growing, and my niece and nephew of course.
A couple notes about the bookwall; I've talked about it a few times, but I'll cover everything here again. The book wall is ONLY hardcover books, and only stand alone books (no trilogy/series/etc) and I'm trying to keep it balanced. Currently my goal is to try and build it up around the ampersand, but I'm cautious of the taller the stack the more unstable it becomes, so if I only make it halfway up the glass, I'll be okay with that. Our house literally says "we love books" right when you come in the front door, and I love that.

This program is designed to boost margins on sales. It reminds your sales team that your company needs to make margins and dissuades sales people from eroding these margins in the name of customer service, loyalty, bulk discount or whatever other term they use.
Many sales programs are too complicated with no lasting behavioural change for your sales team. Continue-Start-Stop Selling Techniques could not be easier to implement and is a proven methodology. At the conclusion of the program you will have an action plan of what activities and behaviours will be continued, started and stopped.
At the conclusion of this program, your sales team will be able to:
Case Study
A Fortune 500 office automation and IT organisation decided to increase it's shrinking margins. This could only be achieved through changing the behaviour of their direct sales team who focused traditionally on increasing the revenue results to increase commission earnings. Healthy commissions often resulted in eroded margins due to the practice of discounting / price reduction incentive selling. After the Continue-Start-Stop Selling Techniques program, the following steps were taken to change the behaviour of the sales team.
The following steps were weighted, agreed and implemented. Continue 1. Targeting top 100 key account base. 2. To apply solution based selling techniques via the use of the strategic selling blocks. 3. To move from transactional selling to relationship selling. Start 1. A commission plan rewarding 50% revenue target attainment and 50% margin target attainment. 2. An immediate sales training for the 60-80% of the team who are below 80% of their budget with weekly, monthly and quarterly prospect review sessions. The whole sales team to improve reporting to pursue the "what gets measured gets done approach". Stop 1. Sales people spending 80% of their time behind their desks. The ratio should be 20% office and 80% field activity with their customers. 2. Accepting activity levels which are below the KPI target numbers. 3. The sales team caretaking unprofitable accounts.

Bangkok is full of life and energy whilst the essence of its cultural substance have slowly disappeared behind walls and a chance to expose and experience these fading, alluring places – one needs to roam with a local.
My tours focus on The Old Bangkok – one of my favorite places for cultural buffs, off the beaten track foodies, street photography, antique hunting and a take on Bangkok in a total different light, away from the dazzling concrete towers, mammoth shopping malls and fast food buzz.
What you will see:

Than putting out the truth?
To stick your head in sands

To harness the advantages of both traditional and mobile marketing strategies, it is best to integrate mobile into your traditional marketing efforts. One mistake marketers make, is to use marketing platforms in silos instead of using them as complimentary tools. This leads to an over-reliance on one single marketing strategy and neglecting other forms of customer engagement.
As you advertise on television and radio for example, integrate a call-to-action that urges consumers to visit your mobile website. You may also include a short code in your traditional advertising campaigns that encourages users to send text messages to a certain number to access a certain product or service.
To optimize your reach, integration of traditional and mobile marketing is required. Consider that a good number of users still prefer the familiarity of traditional media, and may be more likely to base their final purchase decisions on these channels. Mobile marketing can then come on as an important buffer that has a high, immediate impact as you reach several users at once.
This takes away reliance of the funnel shape that traditional media relies on, as mobile devices also enable you to quickly make any changes to the campaign in good time. Any responses or feedback received through mobile media can act as a source of data in decision-making. For the younger segment that is much more enthusiastic and responsive to mobile marketing, your brand image will grow positively as they will begin to view your company as one that can meet their needs.
Mobile marketing is largely in the growth/experimental phase. As such, marketers must develop a careful mobile marketing campaign when looking to reach out to customers using this platform. One such factor to consider is the issue of privacy that can easily hinder your mobile marketing efforts. It is also important to create mobile content that is relevant and targeted to your audience to have an effective mobile marketing campaign.
One thing is for sure – mobile marketing is here to stay and it will continue to grow rapidly. The way that we use this new form of digital marketing to engage with consumers will also continue to evolve. As we get smarter in our use of mobile marketing and as technology grows we will see a shift whereby we move further away from traditional forms of marketing and throw ourselves deeper into the digital and mobile world. We're not quite at a place yet where we can move completely away from traditional marketing, and we may never move entirely away from this, but we are moving in a direction where digital and mobile marketing will be the dominant force for brands, companies and consumers across the globe.

The second half of Shin Mazinger Z is a turning point, where what was once amazing becomes even amazinger. At the halfway point, we get an excellent new OP, full of truly epic imagery (I don't use that word lightly), in which the hotblooded super robot theme song champions at JAM Project definitively prove that they can, in fact, make ANYTHING awesome. But it's at episode 16 where the show proudly proclaims that "a new world of Mazinger Z awaits." And a new world we get, indeed. Because it's at this point that director Yasuhiro Imagawa hits the gas and does what he does best: rocket the stakes up to eleven and keep on going.
We meet the Kedora – a creature so evil and so powerful that even the Big Bad himself, Dr. Hell, orders them destroyed. One of the central themes surrounding the Mazinger franchise is that Mazinger has the power to become a God or a Devil, and with the Kedora in the cockpit, it makes one heck of a Devil.
Awakened by all this is Duke Gorgon, a dinosaur of a baddie from back in the days of Ancient Greece – a time when the gods themselves walked the earth, who claims Dr. Hell's laboratory base for his own and laughs in the face of their retaliation. Oh, right, he's also half-man half-tiger. Not in the Charlie Sheen way, either. His bottom half is literally a tiger.
Against a foe so powerful, there is no other choice: the bitter enemies must join forces and travel back in time. Their destination? Ancient Greece.
The resultant two episodes have one of the greatest concentrations of awesome things happening in the entire series, which, in a series like Shin Mazinger, means that they have one of the greatest concentrations of awesome things happening in all of anime ever.
Gorgon plots a rebellion against the King of the Gods, the Z Mazinger, Zeus himself:
It takes the combined might and sacrifice of four of the Kurogane Five to take him down:
Baron Ashura sets out on a quest to find him/herself:
Hades arrives from the underworld and disarms the unsuspecting Zeus:
But none of these are the centerpiece of this post. No, no. They're plenty cool, sure, but Shin Mazinger Z can do better than that. What's even better is the way that Zeus and Mazinger fight back:
That's right. That severed arm? Zeus just made up his own, god-sized rocket punch by chucking it so hard at Hades that he exploded. How do you even top that?
The easy answer is: you don't. But that's not Shin Mazinger's answer. We get Shin Mazinger's answer a few episodes later, triumphantly summoned by a crazed and vengeful Tsubasa Nishikiori against the equally-emphatically-introduced Mazinger prototype, Energer Z:
"A pair of wings?" you say. "Mazinger already had wings – that's nothing special at all!"
"O ye of little faith," echoes a booming, Zeus-y voice from the heavens, "Have you seen what this Scrander can do?"
Only in Mazinger Z do you get a flying robot that can turn into a super-awesome-giant-godly-explodey golden fist of fury that makes an impact so enormous you can see it from space. While the Kedora turned Mazinger into a devil, the Big Bang Punch gives him the power of a god.
Mazinger Z: God or Devil? I think the choice is pretty clear.

Meri Awaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai is a positive story about two sisters and their bitter sweet relationship that turns into rivalry. This is the story of Kalyani and Ketki, for whom music meant the world, who shared a soulful bond, but drifted apart so much that the distances could not be fathomed. The story spans across three generations and traces the journey of the two sisters from the beautiful town of Nagthane to Mumbai - the city of dreams! The only thread that binds these two warring sisters is their Mother - Devika Gaikwad.

Bob Dickey, crop and livestock producer from Laurel, is in line to become president of the National Corn Growers Association.
Dickey was recently elected first vice president of NCGA. The leadership position, which starts in October, is the first of a three-year commitment for Dickey, as he will become president of NCGA in October 2008 and chairman of NCGA's Corn Board in October 2009.
"It is quite an honor to serve on NCGA's Corn Board, and it is very humbling to have fellow members elect me to an officer position," Dickey says. Dickey is at least the fourth corn producer from Nebraska to serve in this role for NCGA.
In addition to his involvement in NCGA, Dickey has been a member of the Nebraska Corn Board for more than 15 years and has served that board as secretary, treasurer, vice chairman and chairman. He was just reappointed to a three-year term.
Dickey has also been involved in the U.S. Grains Council, which works to promote U.S. grain and grain products in the international marketplace. For the Council, Dickey served in several different committees and moved through officer positions, including chairman.
Dickey runs a diversified operation, where he produces soybeans, hogs and cattle, in addition to corn. This has led him to be involved with Nebraska Cattlemen, Nebraska Pork Producers Association and Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation. He's also a member of the American Legion.
"Serving on the NCGA board will allow me to be involved in issues involving the corn industry around the country and bring that experience and information back to Nebraska to share," Dickey says. "There are a lot of opportunities for corn producers in Nebraska and across the country, and I'm excited to continue to serve the Nebraska Corn Board and be involved on a national level, too."

I am Mother Goose, and I support this ad/
Now that the elections are over in the US, it's time for some retrospective on the attack ad culture.
Over at National Public Radio, Melissa Block interviewed a couple of the voice-over talents who do much of the narration of those ads. Theirs is a true talent. They can make anything into an attack.
If you haven't had a listen, click here. They read a couple of nursery rhyme cum attack ads. I was laughing so hard I had to pull over.
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. He said he could put himself together again. But after wasting thousands of our tax dollars, all the King's horses and all the King's men, he failed us.
Humpty Dumpty. Wrong on wall sitting.

Are you ready for the busiest season of all? It's Fall and that means holidays, gift giving, family gatherings, work parties and fancy events. Somehow in the midst of the hustle and bustle we still need to stay focused on the goals we set. Don't worry, you got this. But in case you need some extra support on how to stay rock solid through the holidays, we got a few tips and sweet gear to keep you going strong.
You need to know what you in order to set goals to go after it. And most importantly, you need to know WHY you want it. The why is your intention – it's the motivation behind your actions and efforts. If your intention is clear and concise, you can use it as a mantra. When you feel yourself wavering, simply repeat your intention, correct yourself and continue.
If you aren't clear about what you want, start journaling. Write down what you feel you aren't getting, what you want more of, and what you want less of. This exercise is useful to uncover a theme of desire – your why. Next, set goals that help you achieve your truest desires.
It's true that together we are stronger. Joining a group of like-minded people is a great way be supported and support others who have a similar goal. For example, if you're a yogi consider participating in a 30-day yoga challenge. Maybe register for a couple 5K races to keep you training through the season. Or gather your girlfriends for a weekend barre class instead of brunch.
After the holidays everyone is after one thing – losing those pesky pounds of indulgence. Everybody is going on a cleanse and working out more. You can be unlike the rest and do it all now. Nutritionist Emily Potter recommends detoxing before the holidays so your body is cleaner and cravings are curbed. It's like paving a smoother road toward your goals.
Match your outer appearance with your inner fierceness. Not only are you dressing the part of a dedicated goal-getting warrior, you are letting others know you are a rock solid force to be reckoned with. Repeat after me: I AM ROCK SOLID.
We know you are. That's why we teamed up with Sol and Selene and Yoloha to bring you gear gets you rock solid for the Fall. Enter here for a chance to win: Stelari Free Flow Yoga Tank, Stelari Reversible Yoga Leggings, Sol and Serene sachel, and Yoloha Yoga cork yoga mat.
Ready, set, goal-get!

Are you scared of the "Green Monster"?
My nutritional specks are as follows:
Calories in: 1,456, 28 points
Calories burned: 2,149 (rest day, always low), steps taken: 4,908
Protein: 11%
Carbs: 57% (but they are good carbs!)
Fat: 32%
Calcium came in a little low at 255 mg, should be 1,000 mg - good thing for supplements
Sodium was only 920 mg, for having a Thai meal that is awesome!
2 more thoughts then I am on to breakfast.
1. I know that in order to have any cholesterol in your day you have to have animal products, but, I guess I didn't put two and two together. My cholesterol for yesterday was 0 which is beyond awesome!
2. I think I am learning that Gluten Free equals alot higher calories than just being Vegan. I think it is due to the options available for substitution maybe? I think I could have reduced the calories in the Pad Thai by using Shirataki Noodles or spagetti squash. Both would be great substitutions for alot less calories.
I started my day off with a moderate interval run/walk on the treadmill that changes pace and grades every 30 seconds. Think of climbing up and down hills. It is the best way to wake up!
This morning for breakfast I decided to give my unsweetened lowfat soy milk a try by making a "Green Monster" smoothie. I have been intrigued by these smoothies after first seeing them on Oh She Glows. I used her idea as a base and in Danica style modified it to my liking.
Here is how mine turned out ~ next to my favorite SIGG bottle and Running Bunny Organic Decaf Coffee:
Included was:
* 1 big handful of spinach (about 1 cup)
* 1 small banana
* 5 medium strawberries & 1/4 c blueberries (that I froze last night to make this icy)
* 1 c lowfat unsweetened Silk soy milk
* 1 Tbsp ground flax seed
* 1 Tbsp organic freshly ground almond butter
This was a cinch to make ~ I just tossed everything in my Magic Bullet & tadah! I have to say it was pretty darn tasty and you don't even taste the spinach. The soy milk made it really thick and creamy along with the banana and the almond butter added the perfect toastiness ~ Yes, I made it through drinking it all and I think I might just like soy milk after all.
Phew ~ that was a long post! Alright, I guess I need to get to working. Have a fantastic day all & be sure to check back at lunchtime for more.

Looking good, D! I think I'm going to follow your lead and have a Green Monster for snack today.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see how yours turns out. I wish mine was greener - i must need the kale and maybe less brown/blue/red things :)ReplyDelete

Green monster was a hit. To lower the calories I added 1c of Almond Breeze Vanilla Flavor and opt out the flax seed & almond butter. I made some for my boys. At first they were scared to try it and asked what is in it? I told them taste it first and if you like it, I will tell you what's in it. They finished every bit of it, when I told them what was in it they said I didn't even taste spinach. They say it taste just like a banana smoothie. I made one of them by adding strawberries, it turned brown. My son said it tasted just like the green one, but it looks bad. I recommend if you give it to kids opt out on the strawberries.
Rachel ~ That is so cool that you got all 3 of your kids to try this. I never thought of that but what a great way to "sneak" in some healthy veggies. I bet they loved drinking a "Green Monster" because of the name too.ReplyDelete

Are you a dream or a reality?
Kissing me gently,
touching me softly.
Us not meeting is no less than a tragedy.
Why could I not see what was always before me?
The endearing smile,
Stay longer…just a little while.
You struck me with sudden love setting me free.
What you mean to me you'll never know,
Can't live without you,
Trust me it's true.
You've changed me so much I guess it shows.
Are you a dream or a reality?
Filling my life with happiness.
Showing a side filled with sappiness.
Your love was what I needed, my malady!

Ok, this may be hard to hear.
Imagine you're starting a new business. Let's call it a law firm. You really love yellow. I mean, your house is yellow, your favorite fruit is a banana. You get it. I'm sorry to say, that yellow may not be the best color for your shiny new logo.
Branding colors are very powerful to an audience's senses, evoking certain feelings in all of us. Yellow, for instance, is cheerful and light. When most people see yellow they think of fast food chains or yoga studios. They do not think of a professional law service. Instead, choose a color that invokes stability, making the viewer feel like they are employing a true professional when they call you to handle their business. Deep blues, greys and some maroon hues are perfect.
Take the time to consider your audience and their goals above personal preference when choosing the best colors for marketing your business. Choose something classic. Keep in mind that this color is going to be on everything you make public in your business. Brochures, website, signage design... everything.
Bottom Line: When you choose colors for brand marketing, you're committing to a feeling, not just a hue. Don't jump into anything without having a plan!

For Pathway Church
From a distance, it looked as if a fair had broken out.
OK, at least a pretty massive block party.
Either way, the crowd was growing by the minute. More than a half-hour before the scheduled start time, dozens of families had already assembled in the parking lot of Pathway Church. Though Thanksgiving is less than a month away, children wearing T-shirts and shorts munched on hot dogs as they lounged at outdoor tables. Nearby, a warm and gentle breeze kept colorful bundles of balloons dancing in all directions.
Sure, the snacks were satisfying and the weather was wonderful, but make no mistake — the kids came to play.
And they didn't stop until it was time to go home.
After years of praying and planning, then several more months of construction, Pathway celebrated the grand opening of its multimillion-dollar children's wing on Friday night. Hundreds of curious visitors turned out to tour and explore the 23,400-square-foot structure.
The first floor features an indoor playland, classrooms, a computerized check-in area and toddler-sized restrooms with tiny toilets and sinks. The second floor offers a multipurpose room with a huge video screen, additional classrooms, and an area dedicated to children with special needs.
Tracy Yowler is a member of the special needs team who helped design that space.
"I know there is a need for this in Beaver County," she said. "I can't wait to see how God uses this ministry to serve children with special needs and their families."
The event began with remarks from Jeff McNicol, senior pastor at Pathway. He then directed the crowd's attention to a pair of large-screen televisions, which featured a video describing the new building.
Following a moment of prayer, children's ministry director Susie Best knelt in front of a huge red ribbon as youngsters from Pathway Kids lifted their scissors.
"In case you're wondering, they're child-safe scissors," McNicol quipped.
"OK, are you ready?" Best asked them. "On your mark, get set, go!"
Snip, snip, hooray.
"The building is open!" McNicol shouted to raucous applause. "Enjoy it!"
As visitors walked the halls they couldn't help but marvel at the vibrant walls — each covered with imaginative and colorful imagery.
"These are very exciting times at Pathway," McNicol explained.
He smiled broadly, then turned toward the children climbing, swinging and sliding in the playland.
"We couldn't be more excited."
And neither could they.

The "NY Bureau Made Comey Do It" Defense Is Exceptionally WeakComments
This should go without saying, but since based on comments and my Twitter feed a lot of people buy it, I suppose it's worth knocking it down. The favorite current angle of Comey apologists is to argue that the threat of the NY Bureau leaking the re-started investigation left him no choice but to violate longstanding norms and the explicit guidelines of the Attorney General and send a prejudicial letter about the investigation into Hillary Clinton (but not the investigation into Donald Trump's campaign.) Comey brings this up in yesterday's interview:
And then we– parted and she said, "I– I thought you needed a hug." And she was right. I'm sure it showed on my face how beaten I felt. And then we sat down and she said, "How are you doing?" Loretta Lynch is a really good person and has known me a long time.
She said, "How are you doing?" And I told her that I felt terrible, that I felt beaten, and– but that I didn't see that I had a choice. And then she said something that floored me. She said, "Would they feel better if it leaked on November the 4th?" And my reaction was– and I said to her, "Exactly, Loretta."
And so, I don't know, was she telling me, "You've done the right thing?" And, in a way, hugging me because she feels badly I've taken this incredibly brutal hit? I don't know. But I interpreted that as, "First of all, I feel badly for you. And even if you hadn't made this decision, once you start going to get a search warrant for Anthony Weiner's laptop to look at hundreds of thousands of Hillary Clinton emails, it's likely to leak out anyway," she's telling me.
And remember, the Department of Justice had thought, "We gotta go get a search warrant," in the week before the election. And so that's how I took it. Again, I– I could be wrong about that, but that's how I took it.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: One of the reasons it was– you feared it was going to leak out is– 'cause you were dealing with a rogue element of FBI agents and former FBI agents up in New York who were really pushing to get this out there. Were you aware of that?
JAMES COMEY: I knew that there were leaks coming– or appeared to be leaks about criminal investigation of the Clintons coming out of New York. And I don't know exactly where that was coming from. I commissioned an investigation to find out. I don't know what the investigation found.
But, yeah, I was worried about– the– the team that had done the investigation was in the counterintelligence division at headquarters, of the emails. And there were no leaks at all, very tight. But the criminal folks in New York were now involved in a major way, and I don't want to single anybody out 'cause I don't know where it was coming from.
But there'd been enough up there that I thought there was a pretty reasonable likelihood that it would leak, and that's what Loretta was reflecting.
GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: You had your– your former boss, Rudy Giuliani, out there on television saying something big was coming.
JAMES COMEY: Yes, I saw that. And I don't know whether that was– it's part of what I ordered investigated. I don't know whether that was part of a leak outta the– FBI office in New York that knew about the search warrant. But that was my concern, that once you start seeking a search warrant, especially in a criminal case– counterintelligence is different.
They're so used to operating in a classified environment. They're much tighter. But once you start involving people whose tradition is criminal, and in New York which has a different culture, there is a reasonable likelihood it was going to get out anyway.
This defense fails on every possible level:
- Controlling the agents at the NY bureau is Comey's job. Even taking it at face value, the argument boils down to "my managerial failures left me with no choice but to compound the issue by improperly sending a prejudicial letter." This…isn't much of a defense. The fact that his priority was not to put the fear of professional extinction into any agent who leaked news about the investigation but to preemptively do it himself is instructive, and not in a way that speaks well of his actions.
- The argument also assumes that rumors of an investigation leaked by rogue elements at the FBI who couldn't go on the record would have the same impact as the Director of the FBI explicitly confirming the existence of the investigation, and in so doing strongly implying that there was a very real chance that Clinton was guilty of serious wrongdoing. But this is absurd. The New York Times isn't doing 5 A1 stories in two days about leaks coming from the NY Bureau that couldn't be on the record. Guilani's goons trying to sell the story wouldn't have been good for Clinton, but both the quality and quantity of coverage almost certainly would have been much different. Comey putting his sterling (justified or not) reputation for Nonpartisan Integritude behind the story makes a yoooooge difference, and the extremely unusual nature of his actions created the strong impression that the FBI really had something on Clinton although they had absolutely nothing.
- Again, a big part of the problem here is that Comey didn't think the NY Bureau was engaged in an anti-Clinton witch hunt; even now, he claims that there's a real chance the new investigation might have "change[d] the conclusion in this case." Again, his assumption that Clinton would win, while surely real, is only part of the story. It's also very clear he also bought the media narrative that Clinton is, to coin a phrase, crooked.
- Given that despite the saturation coverage a lot of people are unaware of basic facts about the controversy, it's worth noting that according to the DOJ's interpretation and consistent application of the relevant statute, it would not have been enough to find classified material on the Weiner laptop. There would have to be evidence that Clinton provably and willfully mishandled classified material. The chances that these emails (many of which, of course, would already have been reviewed) would have this evidence was always exceptionally remote — unless you believe "we know the Clintons are guilty; the only question is what are they guilty of and when will we find the evidence." And without the application of the Clinton Rules, the dilemma Comey created for himself vanishes — how does the revaluation of investigation of a lead that is quickly shown to be a dead end damage President-Elect Clinton or the FBI? It doesn't.
Comey made his choice and he owns the consequences. He wasn't forced to issue a selective and prejudicial letter by other forces.

15 April 2014 | Will Green
A spending watchdog in Singapore has criticised "procurement irregularities" in the government.
In a report the Public Accounts Committee said public procurement "continued to be an area prone to lapses", including:
• Waiving competition on weak grounds
• Allowing bid alterations by certain bidders after the tender had closed
• Not disclosing evaluation criteria up front in tender documents
• Not evaluating tenders properly
The report, produced in response to "audit observations" in the Singapore auditor-general's financial report for 2012/13, said: "The committee was concerned that even with efforts over the last few years to enhance procurement rules and procedures across the public sector, there were indications that some public sector entities were not sufficiently diligent in ensuring compliance with procurement rules."
The report highlighted problems in five ministries and the National Research Foundation of the Prime Minister's Office, and the committee sought written explanations from the bodies concerned.
Among the projects singled out for criticism was a tender by the Republic Polytechnic (RP) for the supply and management of support officers, worth $S9.42 million (£4.49 million), in which "the tender evaluation committee had justified that the awarded tenderer's prices were 'fairly reasonable' although the price for the major cost component was three times higher than that of the other shortlisted tenderer". In response the Ministry of Education "acknowledged that RP could have exercised greater diligence and care" and "the tender approving authority had not critically questioned the basis of the recommendation".
The committee said it found 46 instances of small value purchases, totalling $112,400 (£53,686), made by the Public Utilities Board (PUB) that "appeared to have been split from 13 higher value purchases to avoid calling open quotations". In response the PUB has tightened controls and introduced quarterly reviews and procurement training.
The committee also "noted that laxity in oversight and monitoring of outsourced projects by a few public sector agencies had resulted in overpayment to contractors and irregularities in tendering processes".
This included the Urban Redevelopment Authority's (URA) $10.38 million (£4.96 million) deal with a contractor to manage car parking that was extended twice despite "surprise field audits showing high absenteeism rates of the patrolling officers of between 70 and 80 per cent since 2010". In response the URA said it had "implemented several key measures" to "prevent patrolling officers from straying out of their assigned cluster of car parks".
In a statement the Ministry of Information, quoting the committee's report, said: "The committee observed that a significant proportion of procurement lapses was due to human factors and not the lack of rules and procedures. The committee would like to emphasise the importance of public officers having the right values, attitudes, skills and expertise to prevent lapses and fraud."

WOW, this scary malfunction will get your palms sweating! It starts off with a tension knot on the main canopy, which turns into a spinning malfunction. He tries to cutaway, but the cutaway cable was stuck, so he deployed his reserve because he was losing altitude quickly. The reserve opened with line twists, and both canopies went into a downplane. Luckily he was able to cutaway the main once he was under his reserve, cleared the reserve line twists by 500-ish feet and landed safely. Phew!
After inspecting the gear, they're still not sure what caused the cutaway cable to get stuck — maybe the cable housing was really dirty and lodged the cable from coming out?

How do Chinese Smartphone Brands like Huawei Survive in the European MarketPosted on March 9th, 2017 | 719 comments
In Europe, a lot of people must've heard about Chinese smartphone brands like Huawei or Lenovo. More and more Chinese smartphone manufacturers are participating in some global electronic shows. For instance, in the Mobile World Congress that just past a few weeks ago, more than half of the smartphones announced are made in China or came from China.
As a matter of fact, China has been one of the most crucial smartphone markets for a lot of manufacturers, whether they're Chinese companies or not.
And with the rapid development and spread of smartphones in China in the past few years, the demands are bound to decrease when the market comes to a saturated state. When facing pressures from both overseas and local smartphone manufacturers in the Chinese market, seeking development overseas seems inevitable for Chinese manufacturers. To many of those companies, oversea markets have never been so important before. If the company don't want to subject to the limited increase of market sharing in China, overseas markets would be a good choice for development.
According to the published data from a Chinese market research company, the growth rate of the Chinese smartphone market would drop from last year's 20% to 5% this year.
Marching into the European market is actually way more complicated than it looks. Some manufacturers used to grab attention from the public through launch events and sales promotions and they might not be working out well this year.
Huawei is one of the few Chinese smartphone manufacturers that entered the European market in an early time. The company's been applying a dual-brand strategy which turned out to be a success. According to a spokesmen of Honor, during the Black Friday period, the online sales number is inspiring, 35,000 units of Honor 8 sold out within 3 days which tops other smartphone brands selling phones online in West Europe.
Huawei had set the goal of reaching 5% market share in Europe when it first enter the market and the goal was accomplished two years ago. Since then, the company set the goal to be around 10-12% and achieved it within 2 years.
Huawei's oversea sales have grown faster than in the domestic market. Especially in Europe, Huawei has taken more than 20% of the market share in certain countries. And in the overall west European market, it's about 11%. And in the high-end smartphone market where Huawei has to compete with traditional brands like Samsung and Apple, it still takes up 14.3%.
The dual-brand strategy plays a key role in Huawei's success in West Europe. The sales number of Honor brand had registered at a year-on-year growth of 8.6% in 2016. The Honor brand is continuously breaking records in online sales which makes other manufacturers start to pay more attention to this field.
"We didn't have much staff in our team like other companies does, but when it comes to holiday promotion, we'd start preparing for it a few month in advance which helped us build up a solid foundation for our success later." said the spokesman of Huawei Honor.
The company also cut down products for under €80 and focused on high-end units which later helped them successfully get rid of the tag of "budget phone".
In actuality, in the European market, subsidies from carriers has a great impact on the sales of smartphones and dealing with carriers and subsidies plays a critical role in sales.
Breakthrough in e-commerce helps Huawei go further in the European market to some extent but it's never an easy task for Huawei. People in Europe tend to be more rational when making a choice in buying smartphones. A smartphone with a high price-to-performance ratio is not as appealing in China as in Europe, so the company needed a new strategy for the market. Huawei started off by interacting with customers through social media like Facebook and Twitter.
Huawei believes that the combination of premium products and electronic commence can help the company break the barriers and move forward in a faster pace. The key to success always lies in the quality of the product and an applicable business model.

Norton Security with Backup got uninstalled without my action
Hi there,
I have noticed last night that Norton wasn't present on my computer although I haven't uninstalled it myself and no-one else has direct access to the computer except myself.
I was unable to install it back via classic downloader, but the Norton Remove and Reinstall tool helped in the end.
When I checked when was last backup of my files it showed me that it happened 10 days ago, which would suggest that I was 10 days without protection as Norton was uninstalled for some reason.
How and what can uninstall antivirus software without my doing? I would like to avoid this happening in the future.
I am using the latest Windows 10 with iObit Advanced SystemCare and CCleaner, but they are not allowed to temper with the antivirus.
Kind regards,
Re: Norton Security with Backup got uninstalled without my action
Hello Malth. There are several suggestions coming to mind, the first being on Windows 10 and having "fast startup" enabled. When software updates this setting being enabled sometimes prevents a 100% completion of the software installation and can/does cause corruption. Here is how to disable that feature. Please ensure you reboot.
The other issues with Windows 10 is having software that defrags/cleans the system registry. IObit and CCleaner BOTH perform those functions. They are essentially overkill and working against one another, as well as, working against the performance enhancements already built into Windows 10. One or both these are the most likely culprit. You do not need these software packages since Windows 10 already does a nice job of maintaining a healthy system on its own.

Move to ICT services aids sustainability
A move away from products to services in information and communication technology (ICT) could have a positive effect on sustainable development, according to a survey by Forum for the Future.
A move away from products to services in information and communication technology (ICT) could have a positive effect on sustainable development, according to a survey by Forum for the Future.
The sustainable development charity, which works in partnership with leading organisations in business and the public sector, says ICT can help to reduce firms' environmental footprint.
It says that the ICT industry, and by extension users, are at a crossroads: developing and applying ICT badly could add to the world's problems by devouring energy and accelerating climate change, worsening and increasing pollution and resource use by encouraging ever more frenetic consumerism.
In contrast, with the correct application of ICT, the rewards could be enormous. These are identified as helping to enhance creativity and innovation to solve problems, build communities, give more people access to goods and services and use precious resources more efficiently.
Even though Forum for the Future accepts that the sustainability challenges facing ICT businesses are complex, this complexity should not prevent the ICT industry from dealing with the issues and so reaping maximum benefit. It adds that sustainability leadership is necessary if the benefits are to extend across the ICT industry.
Above all, Forum for the Future sees the application of new technologies as an opportunity to address sustainability challenges creatively and advocates that making ICT more efficient will enable people to do more with less.
Furthermore, the charity advises firms to rent PCs rather than buy them, and if bought, replacing the PCs after four years instead of two, thereby reducing the environmental impact of manufacturing.
In essence, Forum for the Future says companies need to move away from a business model that is based on material products towards one based on services.

Even though the Newark High School football team scored only 65 points a year ago, coach Jeff Buchanan's emphasis during the offseason was re-tooling the defense.
Even though the Newark High School football team scored only 65 points a year ago, coach Jeff Buchanan's emphasis during the offseason was re-tooling the defense.
Assistant Jerry Cook is the new coordinator, and the Wildcats will follow several other area teams in recent years in switching from a 4-3 to a base 50 defense.
"We just felt we needed to tighten up defensively," said Buchanan, who is entering his second season with the Wildcats. "We're attacking more and tackling without hesitation. Jerry's doing a terrific job, and we think we have a chance to be a pretty good defensive football team."
The Wildcats gave up an average of 27.4 points a year ago while finishing 1-9 overall and 0-7 in the OCC-Ohio Division won by Pickerington Central (7-0)
They will be led defensively up front by senior tackle James Olt (6-foot, 250 pounds). Also look for seniors James Goodin (6-1, 215) at an end spot and Mark George (5-10, 225) at nose guard.
Junior Robert Cole (6-2, 240), who played on the line last year, is moving to inside linebacker, where promising junior Keenan Williams (6-3, 210) also will play.
The secondary will include senior John Pritchett and junior Andrew Nelson at the safety positions. The corners include senior Justin Whiteside and seniors Connor Kibler, Reid Kibler and D-Juan Booker.
"We're ready to get after it," Olt said. "I think last year we played a little hesitant. We're all a year older and a year stronger now, so we're going to go out and play hard-nosed football."
Challenges await, however, especially for a team with a combined 9-21 record since the Wildcats won back-to-back OCC-Ohio titles in 2004-05, with the '05 team qualifying for the Division I playoffs. The Wildcats are 1-16 in league play since 2006.
"All of us, and especially maybe the seniors, we want to go out and have a big year and bring Newark football back to where it was," Olt said.
That being said, a case could be made that the Wildcats still might be a year away, especially with so many juniors playing key roles.
"There's probably some truth to that, but I wouldn't want to sell these seniors short because they're a determined bunch," Buchanan said. "Everything we do is geared toward improvement. This team can be competitive, and we're trying to lay a foundation at the same time."
Offensively, juniors Luis Irazarry-Romero and Brandon Clay were competing to be the starting quarterback in preseason, and Buchanan said he might run some option out of the multiple-formation sets to take advantage of Irazarry-Romero's athleticism and pitch fakes. Sophomore Dalton Clapper also has been taking snaps.
Overall inexperience is a weakness on offense, however, and all of the running backs in line to see significant playing time are juniors. They include Andre Nelson and Kyle Hoy in addition to fullbacks Cole and Williams. Pritchett will be one of the receivers, and Buchanan said he likes the team's quickness on the perimeter.
Olt, Goodin and George also will play on the offensive line as will juniors Zach Bennett (6-1, 265) and James Triplett (6-5, 245), among others. Senior Ryan Ettenhofer (6-2, 235) is expected to be the starting center.
The Wildcats are hoping to take advantage of the return of several players who were ineligible last season, but Buchanan said the offense must stay away from turnovers if it hopes to improve.
"We've got a better work ethic and the guys are taking care of things they're supposed to," he said. "I know I'm ready to go to battle with these guys."
Conditioning also might play a key role as the Wildcats conclude the regular season with four top opponents, including rival Lancaster in the finale on the road Oct. 30. With the levy failure in South-Western City Schools, non-league Upper Arlington is taking OCC-Ohio member Grove City's spot on Oct. 9 for Homecoming.
Newark also plays Oct. 16 at Pickerington Central and Oct. 23 at home against Pickerington North, which won last year's game 24-6 while finishing 5-5. The Gales are looking to bounce back after going 6-4, and both the Golden Bears and Central made the playoffs last year while finishing 10-2 and 13-1 respectively.
All told, those four opponents went 34-12 a year ago. Central, which posted its second consecutive undefeated regular season after reaching the Division II state final in 2006, advanced to a state semifinal.
"We'll have to make sure we've got gas left in the tank," Buchanan said. "That's a tough stretch for any team to face."
