Hometown: Austin
Filed Under: Buy the first time for their nifty duds; buy again for their tasty suds.
Overview: Refreshing, flavorful and unforgettable craft beer in four distinct styles: an American IPA, a German Schwarz, a German style Pils, and a Pale Ale, produced with passion by four guys whose knowledge of beer is rivaled only by the amount of fun they seem to have in making it. Founding brewers Michael, Will, Adam, and Mike say they are "hell-bent on excellence;" we say you'll be hell-bent on finishing the one style so you can move on and try the next one
Appreciate: That a brewery with only a year (barely, as of this writing) under its belt has already produced such an impressive offering of craft beers. Austin Beerworks' Fire Eagle (the IPA), Black Thunder (the Schwarz), Pearl Snap (the Pils), and Peacemaker (the Pale Ale) are each impressive in their own right, and together offer an opportunity to satisfy the palette of everyone at your barbeque. IPA lovers will really enjoy the Fire Eagle; favorites at the The Diego Files are Black Thunder, just for the rarity of being able to enjoy a German style Schwarzbier (seriously when was the last time you had a Schwarz? Oh that's right, never) and the Peacemaker, which Austin Beerworks understandably characterizes as a "gateway" choice to craft brewing, but which we characterize as approachable and refreshing and delightful and we'll enjoy one at the gate and on the other side of it, thank you. We're not the only ones who enjoy a nice Peacemaker: just months following it's release, it was deemed award-worthy at the Great American Beer Festival
Know: Beer by Austin Beerworks only come in cans (like little kegs!), or flow from local taps in and around Texas. It's a fast-growing brewery, so we expect that with time these beers will come your way, if they're not there already. Also look for special seasonal releases; Austin Beerworks' Sputnik (no longer available) is a Russian imperial oatmeal stout that is equal parts a coffee stout, and reflects the creativity and complexity they're willing to pursue in order to create exceptional craft beer. As of this writing, expect a soon-to-be announced seasonal release celebrating their first anniversary
Special Comments: One of the initial attractions to Austin Beerworks' products is their unmistakable branding personality. Admit it: these cans look great. If you're as happy holding one as you are drinking one, you can thank Austin's Christian Helms of Helms Workshop, an award-winning design firm that somehow managed to express something entirely new on the otherwise old and tired canvas known as the beer can. Helms also had a hand in the Austin Beerworks website, which includes a smart and informative illustration called Brewing 101. If you want to learn about craft brewing in person (and you're in Austin), keep an eye out for Friday night tours of the Austin Beerworks brewery. These seem to be announced randomly and always sell out quickly. Tickets are free, but you'll want to spend $10 for the shiny pint glass, which you can fill up a few times from your tap of choice, and also grab a little Austin Beerworks bumper sticker. You'll then get a friendly tour from Adam or one of the other founders, which will make you want to quit your job and make beer all day
Cost: Around $8-9 for six of 'em

Filesystem Principles
In this lesson, you will study Linux file hierarchy principles. You will learn about the contents of some important directories, some rules for naming files and directories, and how to display the current working directory. You will also look at the difference between absolute and relative path names.
Linux File Hierarchy Principles
Filesystem Basics
These Linux file hierarchy concepts will be expanded upon in the pages that follow:
• A single-rooted, inverted-tree structure is used for organizing files and directories, including distinct physical volumes, such as floppy disks, CD-ROMs, and multiple hard drives.
• The base of the inverted-tree hierarchy is known as root, or /, and is the top of the file structure.
• A forward (/) slash separates elements of a path name, for example /usr/bin/X11/X.
• Names in the Linux file hierarchy are case sensitive.
• Each shell and process on the system has a designated current or working directory.
• Two dots (..) refer to the parent directory of any particular directory, which is one level up in the file hierarchy.
• One dot (.) refers to the current directory.
• Files and directories whose names begin with a dot (.) are hidden, that is, they are not displayed by default in file-name listings.
• A user's path is a list of directories that are searched for commands typed at the command line.
Linux uses the forward slash (/) to separate elements of a path name, whereas DOS (Windows) uses a back slash (\).
Present Working Directory
The present working directory is the directory in which you are currently working. To view the present working directory, use the pwd command. When you type the pwd command at the command line, the absolute path to your current working directory is displayed. For example
File and Directory Names
With the default filesystem, file names may have up to 255 characters. (Depending on the configuration of your system, different restrictions may apply.)
File names generally consist of letters, numbers, and certain punctuation marks. All other characters, except the forward slash (/), are valid.
Some special characters are best avoided in file names. Avoid the following: <, >, ?, *, and ". Also avoid using tabs, spaces, and other non-printable characters.
If you do need to access a file with special characters, enclose the file name in quotation marks.
For example: ls -l "file name with spaces.txt"
If you remove the quotation marks from the above example, you would be asking the system to list four different files.
Also keep in mind that file names are case sensitive. This means that FILE is different from file and File. Once again, although you can create these files, it may be wise to avoid doing so as it may cause confusion in the future.
Absolute and Relative Path Names
The location of a directory or file can be specified by either of two arguments: its absolute path name or its relative path name. An absolute path name has these characteristics:
Begins with a forward slash (/)
Contains the complete name of each directory that must be traversed from the root file system up to the object being named
Can be used anytime, and is valid regardless of the current directory
A relative path name has these characteristics:
Does not begin with a forward slash (/)
Specifies the location of the file or directory relative to the current working directory
Is usually shorter than the respective absolute path name

Weekend Sports Round Up
This weekend of sport brought a lot of shocks, including losses for Man City and Man Utd!
But first of all I will tell you about the derby between Spurs and Chelsea. It ended in a 1-1 draw with Spurs striking the first blow. Gylfi Siguarsoon opened the scoring after 18 minutes, showing there is life without Gareth Bale,well that was until John Terry equalised on the 64th when he scored a header! Things took another twist when on the 80th minute when Fernando Torres got sent off for an incident with Jan Vertonghen, but Chelsea managed to hang on to a point, just!
The other 2 main matches were Man City vs Aston Villa and Man Utd vs West Brom, but surprisingly it was Villa and West Brom who came out on top. Villa beat City 3-2 and West Brom beat Utd 2-1, showing that anything is possible,(come on VILLA)!
Other Premier League Results
Swansea 1-2 Arsenal
Liverpool 3-1 Sunderland
Norwich 1-0 Stoke
Hull 1-0 West Ham
Everton 3-2 Newcastle
Southampton 2-0 Crystal Palace
Fulham 1-2 Cardiff
It was a topsy-turvy weekend. I think Utd will not regain their title and I think we are in for a shocking season and I don't think some managers will last much longer….thank you for reading about this exciting weekend!
By Alex Ferns (sports journalist)

Eyeliner is used to make the eyes more prominent and create an illusion of thicker lashes. You can achieve a range of looks with eyeliners, so always keep this multi-tasker at hand.
Types Of Eyeliners:
1. Gel Eyeliner: A new entrant in the market, it is thick in texture and is applied with a stiff angled brush. Compared to pencil liners, gel liners are gentler on the eyes as they don't pull the skin while being applied.
Recommended: MAC and Lancome
2. Pencil Eyeliner: These have been used for long and find favor with a majority of women. They can be powder or wax-based. Use a cream pencil liner as it is easy to apply.
Recommended: L'Oreal Paris, Revlon, ColorBar, Chambor and MAC.
3. Kohl Eyeliner: Kohl is indigenous to India/Asia and has been in use for centuries now. Home-made kohl is the safest option for eye makeup-up. Herbal kohls by Biotique, Himalaya Herbals and Shahnaz Hussain are also healthy. They only problem with kohl is that it gets smudged easily.
Recommended: Diana of London, Chambor and Lakme
4. Liquid Eyeliner: Use it if you want to create a dramatic yet defined look. Not many people prefer liquid liner as it is difficult to apply.
Recommended: Lancome Artliner, Lakme and L'Oreal Paris.
5. Glitter Eyeliner: It is popular with young girls. It comes in a tube and contains chunky, shimmery particles. Use it directly or as a top-up on your regular black liner for a spicier look.
Recommended: Chambor, MAC and The Body Shop.
Create different looks using these different types of eyeliners.

Junk Doctors is all about working with the local community in any way possible. Part of this process is by working with other local services and service providers to assist them in solving THEIR issues and, of course, providing some of our own services. For this reason, Junk Doctors offers a variety of referral partnering opportunities.
Common Junk Removal referral partners:
- Residential Real Estate Rental / Property Management Companies: Do you have multiple residential properties or are you a property management company? If so, Junk Doctors is a great option when you have tenants that just didn't get the job done when it was time to move out. Or if you have had a "less than friendly" type removal (eviction) and you need the contents removed, we can be your "go to" company to get the location cleared up and cleared out so you can get back to renting it.
- Commercial Property Management: Have a number of commercial properties and need a company that you can refer to your customers/tenants when they need to clear out things? Junk Doctors is YOUR prescription. From clearing out old storage areas, storage closets or even clearing the way for new furniture and cubicle areas, we can get the clutter out of the way quickly for your people
- Interior Designers: When you have clients that want that whole new look thing, the Doctors can come in one day and clear the way to bring in those super new furnishings pronto and get your clients living in the design YOU planned quickly and easily. We are glad to work with you directly if it's clearing out entire areas/rooms or piece by piece, we're easy to work with and want to provide the best services that you can GET! Read more about our Interior Designer Referral Program.
- Professional Organizers: If you make your living getting people organized, then having a company handy like Junk Doctors, is one great thing YOU can do to help keep your own operation organized. No surprises, fast service, friendly people are what we are all about. We keep your client and their needs in mind when we work with you. Have an industrial grade hoarder? We've been there and worked through that with many clients. Sign up now for our Professional Organizer Referral Plans.
- Self-Storage companies: We bet more than a few people come through your doors that just have too much stuff – but really do NOT want to do all the hoisting, lifting and hefting that it is going to take to get it into your storage areas. Let Junk Doctors be a company that you can refer to those people. From going in and grabbing out a room of stuff and getting it into one of your storage areas to helping a family get everything into storage for some sort of home move, we're your prescription for satisfied customers. Sign up now for our Self-Storage Referral Program.
We refer to people who refer to us!
As a side note, when we are onsite with junk removal customers, we also have a great opportunity to promote all of our referral partners. While people do want to get rid of stuff in their houses, there are a lot of them that are interested in storing some of their items. Others are clearing out things in preparation for new furniture and new home decorating projects. We often run into customers that could use more than just a little clearing out and are PRIME candidates for professional organizers.
We do business with companies that do business with us! Junk Doctors – the prescription for all your junk removal needs!

How to Report Streetlight Issues in KCK

FOR STREETLIGHT REPAIRS Call BPU (913) 573-9522, anytime 24/7, to report streetlights in need of repair. Simply provide the address, cross streets, or pole number along with a description of the problem.
NEW STREETLIGHTS 7 PRIVATE AREA LIGHTS The UG and BPU depend on community residents to report when new streetlights are needed or when they are in need of repairs. To request a new streetlight call the UG at (913) 573-5700. Private area lights for backyards, alleys, and parking lots can be requested from BPU at (913) 573-9190.
STREETLIGHT CALLBACK PROCESS BPU's service area is divided into seven zones, Streetlight repair and replacement times can vary for each zone. To let residents know that their repair request is important and has been processed, BPU recently added a callback feature to their phone system.
Once BPU creates a work order for streetlight repair, you will receive a callback message letting you know the problem is being addressed. Once repairs are scheduled, you will receive a second message with the approximate time of when repairs will be completed.
WHAT'S NEXT The UG and BPU are reviewing options to replace current streetlights with LED lights. LED's use 40% less energy, improve visibility, and last longer.

The Maine attraction
Let's (lobster) roll!
Envision the quintessential New England coastal retreat, and it may well look like the Inn at Sunrise Point. Nestled on five acres overlooking beautiful Penobscot Bay, the inn is located just a stone's throw from quaint Camden and Mt. Battie. "Maine is heaven on earth," says Margaret. "This is our second summer here, and we hope to return! Inn at Sunrise Point is so peaceful, right on the water. You look out over bobbing sailboats and little islands. You can hike in the national park, eat lobster rolls, and visit Camden, which is really charming." This time, Margaret's daughter, Rebecca Kemp, and sisters, Colleen Summers and Ginny Yoes, joined her and Mildred for a multi-gen girls' trip to remember!

CEP delivered workshop in Slovenia exploring the implications of global megatrends for the Western Balkans
CEP led an expert workshop in Ljubljana, Slovenia on 10/11 April 2017, as part of the project Water Use in the Western Balkans: regional outlooks and global megatrends undertaken for the European Environment Agency (EEA).
The workshop brought together 21 regional experts and stakeholders in a scoping exercise intended to identify and prioritise the implications of global megatrends (GMTs) for the Western Balkans region related to the water-food-energy nexus. The implications identified were assessed in terms of the likelihood of their occurrence, the magnitude of their effect and the timescale over which they may occur.
The outputs of this workshop will inform a second regional workshop to be held as part of this project that will focus on the risks and opportunities for the Western Balkans region arising from the GMT implications identified and any existing policy gaps and needs.
CEP is leading the work related to global megatrends, adapting and implementing a method toolkit previously developed (by CEP) for the European Environment Agency.

Milk may not be good for the bones and the body.
Milk has always been seen as nature's most perfect foods - and for good reason. It contains many essential nutrients, the high calcium content has been touted as crucial for good bone health when fortified with vitamin D,
But a new study from researchers in Uppsala University in Sweden suggests that consuming more milk could actually be associated with higher mortality and bone fractures in women and higher mortality in men.

The noise rock act God Alone's new record, Bent Shoulders, provides a dozen tracks of emotional and, more specifically, artistic release.
The album feels more focused on bursts of songwriting than on tying internal themes either together or to something outside the record's confines. Bent Shoulders takes normal, perhaps sometimes mundane circumstances and moods and turns them into inviting songs. It shoots up, in a sense, rather than down; instead of taking a grandiose concept and trying to fit it into an everyday life, the record takes what feels like the bursts of everyday life and turns them into a collection of songs.
To be clear, though, the songs feel complex. The band does not share simplified music, and instead sounds very pleasantly liberated from conventional repetition and mimicry. We know as people living here on earth that our lives have layers upon layers, no matter the circumstances, and the songs on Bent Shoulders both reflect and respect those layers. In one sense, the music is indeed "noise rock," grinding in and out of melodic ideas without much apparent restraint, but it also incorporates more nuanced moods. At times, extended instrumental parts evoke emotion all on their own.
God Alone features members of the popular metalcore act The Devil Wears Prada. Mike Hranica of TDWP sings for the band, and Kyle Sipress, also of TDWP, plays with the noise rock outfit as well. Strikingly, although Hranica rarely crosses over into screaming and God Alone's music takes experimentation in a different direction than the heaviness of TDWP's work, there is a parallel worth exploring.
Songs on TDWP's 2016 record, Transit Blues,like "To The Key Of Evergreen" incorporate intertwined textures and pangs of emotion in similar fashion to Bent Shoulders. Hranica and his collaborators with both God Alone and TDWP feel as though they have wrested themselves free from a musical straitjacket and are following the path of their musical inspiration wherever it leads.
Hranica actually wrote an article for Revolver at the end of 2017 summarizing his favorite records from the year and included releases from bands like Big Brave, King Woman, and Cloakroom. Each one of those bands sticks out because of their willingness to buck artistic restraint and standard, taking their music into explorative territory and crafting something human. God Alone take on a similar challenge.

FTSE 100 jumps to three-week high as Rolls-Royce drives through shakeup
Rolls led the risers after announcing that 4,600 jobs are being axed.
The FTSE 100 leapt to a three-week high on Thursday, with Rolls-Royce helping drive the index north after announcing a sweeping restructuring plan aimed at saving £400 million per year.
London's top flight rose 62.08 points, or 0.81%, to end at 7,765.79.
Rolls led the risers after announcing that 4,600 jobs are being axed in the firm's latest shake-up, with the engineering giant looking to slash costs by another £400 million a year.
The group said the bulk of the cuts would affect the UK workforce and be made over the next two years, with around a third expected by the end of 2018.
Investors warmed to the news, with shares rising 54.2p to 882.8p by the close.
The FTSE 100 was also helped by the European Central Bank (ECB), which said it would not hike interest rates until 2019, boosting stocks across the continent, as well as sterling weakness versus the dollar following US retail sales data.
London Stock Exchange update: #FTSE 100 closes at 7,765.79, up 0.81% https://t.co/auKJOyXNsP— London Stock Exchange (@LSEplc) June 14, 2018
Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex, said: "The UK index benefited from the pound's downturn against the dollar, the strength of the US retail sales reading (and Wednesday's Fed rate hike) outweighing the UK's own retail beat."
Sterling was trading 0.4% down against the dollar at 1.332, but rose by 1% against the euro to 1.145 following comments from the ECB.
Across Europe, France's CAC 40 was up 1.56% and Germany's DAX rose 1.68%.
In stocks, Revolution Bars shares slumped after the company issued a profit warning, saying it had been affected by both unusually hot and cold weather.
The bars business said its sales fell by 1.7% on a like-for-like basis in the second half to June 9, sending shares 11.6p lower to close at 145p.
Shares in Majestic Wine, meanwhile, went in the other direction after it swung to a full-year profit.
The wine warehouse chain – which has 210 branches in the UK and two in France – recovered to an annual profit of £8.3 million for the 12 months to April 2, against losses of £1.5 million the previous year.
The stock closed up 9p at 459p.
N Brown shares ended the day lower after announcing it is set to close 20 stores, putting 270 jobs in doubt.
The group, which owns JD Williams and Simply Be, entered into a consultation with staff on Thursday, saying that weak footfall on the high street meant it had to close stores.
The company expects to incur a one-off cash cost of between £18 million and £22 million if it closes all 20 stores. Shares closed down 14.9p at 182.8p.
Brent crude was trading 0.7% down at 75.9 US dollars a barrel.
The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 were Rolls-Royce up 54.2p at 882.8p, Smurfit Kappa up 96p at 3,052p, Centrica up 4.45p to 153.25 and BT up 6.1p at 214.1p.
The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 were Persimmon down 79p at 2,727p, Unilever down 116.5p at 4,033.5p, Relx down 45.5p to 1,609.5p and Severn Trent down 51p at 1,880p.

Natural Awakenings San Diego Publisher Elaine Russo on ITEX...
I was first introduced to the ITEX barter network in 2010 by a coworker when I began publishing the San Diego edition of Natural Awakenings. While it took me a few months to actually dive in and really find out what ITEX had to offer, once I took the plunge, I never looked back.
I've found that barter is instrumental in creating new clients, added revenue, new business opportunities and reducing business expenses. And it doesn't really matter what kind of business a person owns. Over the years, I have successfully started many businesses from scratch and understand how to start a business and stay in business. I developed and published a children's educational line. My line was received and distributed to mass merchants like Wal-Mart, Staples, Bed Bath & Beyond, and independent retailers on a national level. In addition to publishing, I've owned a women's surf shop and managed recreational gear at Fort Lauderdale Beach. In each of these ventures, bartering was a huge component to the success of my business.
My hands-on knowledge, experience and resourceful attributes have long recognized the need for barter. Barter offers every business owner a way to add new clients, additional revenue, and incentives/bonuses for co-workers. It helps reduce expenses and extra inventory. It is fabulous for increasing sales! Once you're in a barter system, you have access to a whole group of new customers you might not have been able to access otherwise. It's also a great way to save your cash because instead of paying cash for products and services that you want, you trade for those services, whether it's for business or personal reasons.
Being an ITEX member should be part of every business owner's working model.
Call me today to get started!
Elaine's Top 10 Benefits of ITEX Barter Network
1. It's an easy and fun way to find more customers. You'll have access to an entire network of people to barter with.
2. Make a profit in an inexpensive way. By trading inventory or services, you can keep more cash in your pocket.
3. No direct, one-on-one barters which means no hurt feelings or anxiety about the trade.
4. ITEX acts as the bank and takes care of recording all transactions. All members have their own accounts and all transactions are recorded in each member's accounts.
5. Members do business by exchanging dollar-for-dollar values for their products and services.
6. Members can use their ITEX dollars with hundreds of businesses across America and the globe.
7. ITEX loves to help members find opportunities to buy and sell. ITEX sends business to you by matching buyers with sellers.
8. ITEX is available to members, via phone and email support, on a daily basis.
9. ITEX members want to trade and are eager to build relationships with other members.
10. All types of businesses are welcome to join and there are always more opportunities!

Response: Theory-oriented evaluation for gaming and simulation
November 27, 2012
Theory-oriented evaluation for the design of and research in gaming and simulation by Willy Christian Kriz and Jan Ulrich Hense critically analyzes approaches to designing gaming simulations and how through the micro design process of such simulations, greater systems and infrastructures can be influenced on a macro level. Kriz and Hense suggest the concept of theory-oriented evaluation as a means to look at the design of simulation games beyond the "black-box model" – by testing if the simulation works, but also how and why it works.
The authors define two scientific schools of thought – the science of analysis and science of design - and argue that while both are based on different criteria and as a result are often considered separate practices, a combination of the two can contribute to the overall usability and application of a given product. In regards to game simulations, the science of design looks at using real world knowledge as means to accurately replicate the desired functionality with a focus on usability, while the science of analysis is concerned with improving knowledge of a particular domain through simulations. By integrating the two approaches, the design of a simulation becomes a process stimulating knowledge growth in its associated domain as well as maintaining a high-quality user experience.
The idea of improving education is a topic I've discussed in previous response entries, and Kriz and Hense raise education as one possible domain that could be improved through a "design-in-small," "design-in-large" hybrid approach. For instance, I envision a panel of teaching practitioners and professionals pinpointing a specific issue with the present system they would like to see addressed (such as the oversight of varied student learning styles). Through focus groups of such professionals working alongside designers and developers, they might conceive of a simulation that teaches 18th century history. Perhaps in the design process they pinpoint that different students learn in different ways, and through the course of development and testing, find solutions to cause automated adjustment in the simulation based on a student's performance. Finally, when the simulation is complete and distributed in classrooms, present flaws in the education system are undermined as students have a shared learning experience through varying degrees of lesson, ultimately opening the door to similar ventures in the future.
This is just one example I can see Kriz and Hense's approach being used for, though their model applies to a wide range of scientific and design-based research, perhaps even outside the realm of game simulation. The applications for this type of design approach are promising and endless.

For the second year in a row, Comcast NBCUniversal has been named among the Top Ten Companies in the country by LinkedIn. This list is based entirely on the actions of LinkedIn's 500 million-plus members ranking the most in-demand employers on three main metrics: job applications, engagement and retention.
Here's what they had to say about us:
#7 Comcast NBCUniversal
Tower of strength: Comcast NBCUniversal, the telecom and entertainment behemoth, hired more than 36,000 new employees last year, attracting them with expanded parental benefits, free Xfinity TV and Internet and even complimentary Universal Studios park passes. This year, the company opens the Comcast Technology Center, the latest work of British architect Norman Foster. The $1.5 billion, 1,121-foot tower will be the Philadelphia home for teams of engineers as well as NBC 10, Telemundo 62 and a 217-room Four Seasons.
Global headcount: 164,000
Grabbing gold: At the recent Winter Olympics, NBCUniversal delivered every competitive moment live — more than 2,400 hours of coverage across 102 events over broadcast, virtual reality, 4K (high-resolution) and even Snapchat.

What Does it Mean to Be 60 Percent Effaced?
Effacement is a part of the birthing process that designates how far or wide the cervix has dilated prior to delivery. During labor, the cervix slowly softens and widens as the baby descends lower and lower into the birth canal. Another term for effacement is cervical thinning. This process is followed by numerical percentages. The effacement process may begin several weeks before the actual delivery.
Understanding Effacement
Before birth, a woman's cervix is thick and long. It shortens and thins as delivery approaches. This is what is meant by effacement. As a woman's cervix widens to accept the delivery of a baby, the "plug" that seals the uterus from the outside environment is released. The range of effacement stands between 0 percent and 100 percent. When 100 percent effacement is reached, the baby is ready to be born.
Effacement, Station and Dilation
Effacement, station and dilation are all terms that an expectant mother may hear in the weeks to minutes before delivery, but they mean different things. Dilation is a term also related to the cervix, and it is measured in centimeters, from zero to 10. Station refers to how far down in the birth canal the baby has traveled and is measured from -3 to +3.
60 Percent Effacement
A woman who reaches 60 percent effacement is one whose baby has begun to descend into the birth canal. At this point, the cervix is not fully thinned out but is more than halfway to that point. At this stage, the mother may or may not be in labor. It depends on other factors, including dilation, and whether or not this is a first or second child. A woman can be 60 percent effaced but not dilated, but the good news is that the birthing process has begun. Every woman is different, and as most mothers know, babies will come when they're good and ready.

POLITICO, P. Taylor: France's next big challenge: defense policy
- French voters face a stark choice between isolationist policies or being proactive in shaping a European defense policy capable of responding more successfully to terrorism.
- As much as France values its strategic autonomy, it can no longer go it alone.
- If elected, Macron has a chance to embrace a comprehensive approach to security, including "hard security" and also diplomacy, aid, trade and institution-building.
- Macron should give priority to developing a long-term defense program with Germany, open to other partners including Britain if it wishes. This effort should come as part of a grand bargain with Berlin to strengthen the Eurozone and implement long-overdue economic reforms.
South China Morning Post, K. Huang: Is Philippines offering Beijing an olive branch over South China Sea?
- At the upcoming ASEAN summit, the Manila government is expected to bring up longstanding disputes with China in the South China Sea.
- Philippines may take a moderate tone and focus on crafting a framework for a code of conduct to contain maritime tensions.
- "We acknowledge that differences exist, but that does not mean the whole relationship should be affected by that, because we also have good economic relationships and people to people exchanges," said Enrique Manalo, acting Foreign Minister of the Philippines.
- A new bilateral consultation mechanism on the South China Sea between the two nations is set to be launched in May.
Foreign Policy, R. Gramer: Japan wants to revive the Trans Pacific Partnership even without the U.S.
- According to Japanese officials, Japan intends to carry forward TPP, essentially in its current form, even without the US. Talks will begin in May.
- This would be a change of course for the government of Shinzo Abe, who had called the deal "meaningless" without the US.
- Japan is seeking market access and countering the China-centric Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). The Japanese government may also have prepared the ground with the Trump Administration in order to minimize chances of a backlash.
- The TPP will have to be re-drafted, which may give way to cascading demands that could eventually undermine the effort.
- Trump may be warming up to sprawling trade agreements after all, as suggested by US Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross.
The Guardian, J. Borger: Donald Trump summons entire Senate to White House briefing on North Korea
- The entire US Senate will go to the White House on Wednesday in order to be briefed by James Mattis and Rex Tillerson about the ongoing confrontation with North Korea.
- Such meetings are not unprecedented but it is very rare for them to take place at the White House.
- Senate aides were unsure of the purpose of using the White House, speculating it could be symbolic and intended to show Trump's seriousness or to showcase an assertive president.
- "The status quo in North Korea is unacceptable and the [Security] Council must be prepared to impose additional and stronger sanctions on North Korean nuclear and ballistic missile programs," Trump said at a Monday meeting with ambassadors from UN Security Council members.

Tehreek I Taliban Pakistan alternatively referred to as the Pakistani Taliban, is an umbrella organization of various Islamist Militant groups based in northwestern areas along the Afghan border in Pakistan. This network of militants is spreading throughout the country, especially in Karachi. TTP and other extremists and criminal groups like PAC's imbrute trepidation have been suffering Metropolis for last 6years. Many have been witnessed that after killings innocents they play football with their heads.
On 7th November 2013, TTP spokesman announced they would orchestrate a wave of revenge attack against the government. SSP CID Choudhry Aslam who was considered a noose in the neck of these terrorists had survived numerous assassination attempts in the past, has been killed by the timed blast of terrorist living under the umbrella of TTP. It seems TTP and their allies have launched a wave of revenge attacks in Pakistan. The attack on Police officials is a question mark on the ongoing operation of the Government that has been entered in its third phase.
Asmatullah Shaheen, head of the Shura and caretaker leader of the TTP, told Reuters that TTP will target security forces, government installations, political leaders and Police. The Coalesce of the militant wings like PAC and other banned outfits under the umbrella of TTP is a question mark on the progress of the operation carried out by our Law enforcement agencies. Their alliance is more dangerous for the sovereignty of the country. These criminals have power to kill their desire persons at any time and at any place which means our government has been failed to protect their citizen. Consistency and success of timing in their attacks to achieve their goals raise some questions.
Gangsters of PAC have hostage making influence on Karachi, recently they targeted a family in Maripur, just because of their political affiliation with the mainstream political party of Karachi and raped two women of the family before killings. These gangsters have latest weapons that our forces can't face them. Ch. Aslam who was leading Liyari operation in the past has faced high resistance, from PAC gangsters because they were using prohibited bore weapons, missiles and rocket launchers, resulted to step back from the operation.
Reportedly on September 5 2013, the cops of CID police encountered three alleged TTP militants. On 7th May 2012, CID police arrested three alleged terrorist from Shershah area of Karachi who were members of Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and came from Balochistan to deliver weapons to PAC gangsters. According to Pakistani local media PPP removed Bullet proof vehicle from the security of CH. Aslam. Just like in Past PPP withdrew head money of PAC criminals who were involved in heinous crimes. Here the question arises is, that why the bullet proof vehicle was taken away by PPP government from such a high profile officer who was on sever threat from TTP? Although the chairperson of the same party has; whose house has been surrounded by an illegal wall in a residential area of Karachi; justified about the wall that he ( Bilawal Bhutto0 had been very vocal against the TTP therefore, this wall is for the security of their family.
Once again Karachi has become a sanctuary of the terrorist. Increase in terrorist activities by Karachi gangsters compelled business community to seek for the second best option. Investors are afraid to invest in Karachi and unemployment rate is increasing day by day. This situation is raising question on the facts that has been provided by the chief of the Police on the ongoing operation. Higher authorities should change their attitude before increasing vicissitude cause harm. Government should step forward and think beyond their political affiliation and start an impartial operation in the criminal dominated areas.

Capture the senses from the first smell. If there is such thing as love at first sight, then there is also love at first smell. Merely the name Versace is linked to prestige, sophistication, and passion for fashion in all senses. Donatella Versace is truly the designer of choice not only from shoe and clothing fashion but fragrances as well. Another unfathomable success with the new fragrance of Versace Men by Versace.
Fragrance of Versace Man
Versace Man was first introduced in year 2003, the twelfth fragrance by Versace for men and under the keen eye, rather "smell", of Donatella Versace. This has the aroma of smooth oriental showing of amber and tobacco notes.
The first thing noticeably is the light citrus scent like a sweet harmony of cardamom, neroli, and bergamot, but within a quick second shifts its mood into wood, tobacco leaves, and amber – overcoming the previous scent. After which it would seem like oriental-like spices slowly and slightly take over. The base notes are actually the amber and tobacco leaves, and then middle notes include saffron and cardamom. Over all, the conquering fragrance is somewhat a woody appeal of floral oriental.
Floral Oriental: Perfect for Anytime of the Day
Not to worry, it's the not the usual tobacco scent that you imagine taken from cigars. Versace makes it possible to draw out the real beauty of tobacco.
With the great scent of woody and floral oriental, this makes a perfect wear for evening parties, romantic date or dinner, out of town events, or whatever evening occasion you'll get into. Not only for night wear, this is a great smell for day time use too.
Classy Yet Not Overpowering
Although this is said to exude a classy fragrance, this does not mean it's over powering just like the rest of the traditional perfumes. Take a first sniff to Versace Man and you will instantly notice that it is not strong and overpowering that tends to irritate anyone you get near to. However, it does have an obvious and distinct fragrance but just enough to get an appealing attention from everyone.
Longevity of Versace Man
Versace Man by Versace longevity can vary according to cologne level and user's skin type. Versace Man has different level of colognes, such as eau de cologne, eau de toilette, eau de parfum, and parfum classic or cologne, and they are leveled according to the concentration of oil extracts. The more fragrance oil extracts that is diluted in high grade alcohol or water, the better strength and longer lasting the scent can be.
Individuals who have oily skin can work well with colognes or perfumes because of the body's natural oil and moisture that can hold the fragrance better. Better yet, try taking some free testers in the perfume stores to know which cologne level can work with you best.
Perfect for Modern Yuppies
With the modern structure and practical arrangement of offices nowadays, you wouldn't need any powerful fragrances. Your colleagues are just almost beside you, and of course you wouldn't want to drive them away. In fact, you want them to smell you more by getting near you.
In general, Versace Man is a fabulous yet masculine scent for daily use. Most guys who use this are young professionals as early as 18 until late twenties. It gives a classic yet modern appeal, very practical for everyday use for it stays longer on the skin, lingers from morning until the day is out.
This can have its drawbacks too. Though strongly masculine in fragrance, to some it can smell like sweet desserts like flavored cakes, fruit cakes or pies, cookies, etc. Versace Man can be like sweet sauce poured on skin. For those who are not a fan of sweet colognes, this may not be the one for you.

This was a planned discussion about the role of neuroscience in coaching between myself and my friend and colleague Quinn Simpson. Quinn is a coach who works primarily within education. We cover a lot of topics including creativity, neuroplasticity, change and capacity for change, stress, decision-making, intuition, empathy, how to be present with others, and how to self-reflect on our own biases as a coach. We end with a look at how neuroscience can provide tolerance and compassion for others.
Who would be interested in this:
- Coaches, either in training or who have been working professionally as a coach for some time.
- Anyone who is just interested in applied neuroscience, and by that I mean people who want to know about principles of neuroscience and how they can be applied to personal development, life skills, emotional intelligence, decision making, and that whole consortium of topics.
Reflective Questions
- Ask, don't tell.
- What is the quality of your thoughts?
- Mandy said her job as a coach is to inspire action-oriented thinking and awareness. What do you think your job is?
- What are you using your brain for? Are you using it to ruminate over to-do lists or are you leveraging your natural capacity for growth?
- Do you have any "sunk thoughts" (i.e., like sunk costs)?
- How much change is good and bad? What is your change capacity right now?
- How will you change your brain today?
- What's the value of providing time for reflection, to find their own lens?
- Quinn asked "What is it about humans neurologically, makes us want to give advice?" What is it about YOU that makes you want to give advice instead of just let answers come from within?
- When you believe someone has the answers, your questions are going to be different. Can you think of examples?
- How do you use emotions in your decisions-making process?
- What does the coach need to do to most effectively manage and to reduce the impact of themselves on the coaching? What can the actually do to fully be with that person and not in their own head?
- Does Neuroscience provide you with tolerance and compassion for others?
- Does neuroplasticity allow you to encourage change, in yourself or others?

Serving as a nice cap to our Japan trip, Kengo Kuma was here yesterday to give a lecture on his recent work (during an eight-hour Chicago layover). The lecture was sponsored by the Consulate General and the Japan Foundation so we were fortunate to be able to host the talk here at IIT. I have to admit to only a glancing knowledge of his work until just recently. But that seems to be surprisingly common amongst my friends and colleagues. In fact, it was a group of my students who kept going on and on about him that prompted me to wake up. It's embarassing when your students are out ahead of you, when you are presumably well-informed about the larger world of architecture. Regardless, I owe them.
Dr. Kuma showed two particularly interesting projects: one was a recently completed bamboo house (not the Great Wall project) that seemed to be a complete reconsideration of the surfaces of a house, and another project planned for Napoli using tufo and allowing its porosity to support an overgrowth of plants. He also spoke a bit about the Nezu Museum in Tokyo which we saw but were unfortunately too early for the re-opening (picture above).
We'll be exploring the possibility of some collaborations between IIT and his students at the University of Tokyo. Seems perfectly natural for us to be more active in Japan. Really, how is it that our trip a couple of weeks ago was the College of Architecture's first ever contact with Japan? Too much time in Italy and France.

This essay first appeared on my blog in August 2010.
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore –
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over –
Like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
Like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Hamlet, Langston Hughes
"Do NOT dream of the illusory!" I would shout, did I have the power over mind. "Do NOT think of anything chimerical!" I would scream at the top of my lungs, did I have the power over thought. "Do NOT crave for the impossible!" I would roar with disgust, did I have the power over soul.
Did I have power over my thoughts, I would be … a pessimist. Did I have power over my soul, I would be … a realist. But if only I had power over my dreams, I would be a self-restrained realist and a self-disciplined pessimist. But that is not what I am. Because I do dream and imagine things, because I cannot control severely my illusions, because I do not want to be captured by pure rational thought. But people need to dream, to long for things, to love. They need to travel through mind, to experience the flawless perfection, to receive the love that dreams create.
However, what happens if a dream fails, if the expectations turn up to be sand castles? What remains after the wave is sand. And few are strong enough to rebuild the castle on the very same place – those who are in love with love know that the sea comes again every minute but this is no obstacle. This is the meaning of their life. To learn how to make the castle stronger is the sensual ravishment that makes people crave and come back to it every time a dream is deferred.
What differentiates people's dreams is the longed-for results. But there are different people and very different dreams. And it is on these different dreams that the reaction to the deferral depends. The more modest the dream is, the less rottening and less drying-up it is. However, rarely do people dream of modest things because they want to have what they do not and usually it is in spheres very different from the appropriate for them.
There is a particular example of dreaming for the impossible, or even dreaming for too much of it, that I remember particularly well because of it close relation to one of my favorite books "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse. It is a film called "Samsara". Hesse's character is a boy who wants to learn cognition, to understand the world, to mingle with it, to achieve Nirvana. He goes through many obstacles which train him – he gets to know the life of Tibetan monks, the carnal sins. But then he achieves the salvation he has been dreaming of. The "Samsara" character goes the other way round. In the beginning of the film his story is told – he is a monk, who has achieved the Nirvana and has been meditating for 3 years, 3 months, 3 weeks and 3 days. But he then falls in love with a peasant girl. He marries her and starts leading normal life. But then comes a moment when his carnal desires are too strong for him to control and he decides to return to the monastery. Unfortunately for him, there is no way back. His dream of achieving more supreme Nirvana going all the way that Siddhartha goes fails because he cannot possible have everything he is dreaming of. He is forced to return to his life of a land-owner. His dream becomes a sore, his Nirvana – impossible to achieve again, his soul – restless. The price he pays is too high one – it becomes a burden. For him there is only one philosophy from there on: to prevent a drop from evaporating, drop it in the sea. He needs to return to his sea and to accept his weakness.
Unlike him, a few centuries back in time lived a romantic poet whose dreams of purifying the world predominate in his poetry – Percy Bysshe Shelley. Imagine Shelley in the depressing bleakness of the reality, tortured by misery and death, watching the sky and waiting for inspiration. This must have been the picture he saw – his escape from reality and cruelty, his dream. What a better relief than the mysterious catalyst "silver sphere"?
Teach me half the gladness
That thy brain must know,
Such harmonious madness
From my lips would flow,
The world should listen then
As I am listening now.
If he could have learn this and accept it unequivocally, be would have been able to recompose his ideas and accept the misery around him which was to be converted to human happiness and harmony. His dream would be his strongest weapon. If we search though the archives of Coca Cola, we will find literally thousands of advertisements appealing for the same – "we would like to instruct the world to sing and live in perfect harmony" This is a group of people, who popularize a utopian dream, based on the simple condition of drinking coke. Perhaps, Shelley's skylark with her beautiful voice and immortal presence shows us a shorter way to harmony. Mary Shelley (Percy's wife more famous for her creation of "Frankenstein") claims that this is one of the most beautiful poems of her husband. But for Percy Shelley it is something more – it is the connection between idealism and radical thoughts. The message sent by the skylark has the power to provoke the change of which the poet dreams. The "unbodied joy" of that "silver sphere" consists of a centuries-old philosophic thought, inspired by Plato and all the other Greek philosophers developing the theme "Ideal Harmony". Freedom. Shelley tries in his own way to be free: independent from the contempt of his contemporaries, free to express his observations through his poetic message. The gaudy moods of the lark echo resonantly in that idea even now – two hundred years after they were observed. This is a heritage for those of us who try to make/find our own niche of freedom.
While this dreams remains unachieved, there is another possible end – to achieve the dream and not be happy again. This is what happens to Patrick Suskind's character Jean-Baptist Greneuille. Jean has the most delicate nose in whole France. He is enchanted with the beauty of the numerous scents that fill the streets of 18th-century Paris. His wanting to become perfumer becomes his obsession and he finds ways to fulfil his dreams. Faith meets him with a beautifully smelling girl. He is so obsessed that he wants to create a scent that has her enchanting aura. Unfortunately by the time he meets her he still does not know how to create scents. To become perfumer becomes his incantation through which he is bound to achieve his greatest dream of all. Like a real greneuille (fr. frog) he does become master. He knows already how to take a scent out of the source. And his sources become innocent victims of Nature, favoured by beauty. He kills them in order to get what he wants – the scent. He is accused of the murders and sentenced to death. But he anoints himself with a drop of the fragrance he has made – a mixture of the essential oils of different girls – and the moment he steps of the square where a mob has gathered to watch; everyone present is mesmerized with Greneuille. Even the father of one of the girls grabs Greneuille and forgives him everything. But this is not what Jean-Baptist dreams of. He is so disgusted with human nature that as soon as possible he leaves the town. When he reaches the next small village he anoints himself with the rest of the perfume and leaves himself being torn literally by knives, nails and stones – out of sheer love. Is that what a dream is? A false statement, a raisin drying in the sun?
A dream should be a magnificent opulent tremendous stupendous gargantuan bedazzlement. It should be earthy and controlled, and invigorating and exhilarating. It makes people travel, it makes them stable. It points out the right paths and the wrong paths. It is a heavy burden of sweetness and sheer joy. It is the Moon which makes people ware-wolves; it is the Sun which kills vampires. It is a harmoniously ravishing intoxication and a harsh pungency. It can be here, there and everywhere. But what is for sure – it will always be with people, because they love flying and falling.
