Pair's Outlook
The Australian Dollar misbehaved on Monday, as it appreciated against the US Dollar instead of declining. The session high went over the 0.77 level, but the AUD/USD pair still stabilised at 0.7687, just over the weekly PP. Yesterday's rally is considered to be a setback, as the Aussie is expected to resume the bearish trend today. The weekly PP, now the immediate support, is unlikely to prevent the fall; therefore, trade should close around 0.7630. Furthermore, technical studies are now showing distinctly bearish signals, bolstering the possibility of the negative outcome.
Traders' Sentiment
Traders' sentiment remains unchanged, as 73% of them still hold long positions. The portion of buy orders edged up from 33 to 45%.

Feeding the Beast - The Importance of the Sales Pipeline
The ultimate aim for any organization is to make 'sales'. You may well be providing educational support for girls in Ethiopia, helping clients work through their marriage difficulties, or even selling hand-made jewelry, but the end goal is the same. Money.
Sometimes it's hard to think about it that way if you've been concentrating on helping people.
But here's the rub; while you're busy getting girls into schools, putting marriages back together and delivering products to happy customers, someone needs to be out there looking for the next batch of customers. And when you're a small business, it's really hard to do when you're super busy servicing clients and can't even spare five minutes to take out the trash. But if continually feeding your sales pipeline isn't a priority, you won't need to worry too much about the $$ because eventually they'll dry up.
What to do?
It's kind of like saving for retirement. You need to start somewhere, even if it's just a little at first. If your business is going great guns, I'd suggest allocating 15-20% of your resources to lead generation. Because you never know when your best client is going to jump ship or no longer require your services.
If you're trundling along with just about enough business, but could really use more, I'd go for 25-30% of your resources being used for advertising, content development, and other marketing activities to generate leads.
And if you're just getting started, or your business is floundering for one reason or another, you need to be looking at 50-70% of your resources being put towards making sales. Jeremy Ellens, Co-Founder of Yazamo, recounts a story of being told to spend 70% of his time making sales in his first year of business. He didn't believe his business coach, at first. Now he openly promotes the same strategy.
What does that mean in practice?
According to business coach Rita Goodroe of the Women's Business Garden, business building is what you need to do to get money in your pocket right now, and is primarily about putting yourself in front of people, either online or offline. Marketing is what you do to build your pipeline, once you have some clients paying you of course. Writing articles, building mailing lists, and running competitions to help you generate leads are the sorts of activities that you should always be running in the background to ensure that you are continually feeding the beast, as it were.
There's no sense in being successful or celebrating your wins if you haven't got more potential clients lined up and waiting. Your continued success is only as good as your lead generation.
Tune in next time for tips on how to generate leads!

When SXSW Meets Travel
Sometimes as a small business owner you get really lucky with conference travel. For me, because I live in Austin I get access to one of the best conferences around: SXSW! I am in the digital marketing space, so the interactive conference is always an awesome experience for me.
This year I was so lucky because I made my way to one very fun travel event as well, meeting The Points Guy! I've written before about how my small business spend has helped me travel the world for free, but everything I know I learned from The Points Guy aka Brian Kelly.
The coolest part about meeting him was just how nice he is! He truly wants to help people travel the world for free. Even though this is his business, you can tell that he is very passionate about what he does and how he helps people.
When I started my own business, igniting that passion in others was a huge goal of mine and Brian does this flawlessly. I left the event inspired and with a new great new tips for earning miles and points. It was a real treat for this small business owner and travel lover!

High costs make it hard for many patients to afford their medications. That's why some medical experts believe we should give important medications to patients for free, to see if that improves their health outcomes. One famous example of this approach is the MI FREEE Trial, which offered free cardiovascular medication to patients who would experience heart attacks. The trial increased the percent of patients taking their heart medicines, medicines known to reduce the likelihood of subsequent heart attacks. In the case of minority patients, these free medicines significantly improved their long term health. (Visit Forbes to read more and view comments.)

We have just returned from our church weekend in Abererch, Wales. It was a great weekend of fellowship, teaching, and fun. It was especially encouraging seeing the whole church family enjoying each other's company, and growing in their love for God, and for one another. Even the rain didn't dampen our spirits!
We had three main teaching sessions, in which we looked at the themes of gospel, kingdom and mission. One thing in particular that struck me was how we are so prone to storing up treasure here on earth. We can easily become obsessed with building security for ourselves, such as in our careers, our mortgages, or saving for the future. Yet, in Matthew 6, Jesus tells us the opposite:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
The truth is that one day, the treasure that we store up on earth will be gone. Companies could go bust. Our houses won't last forever. Retirement savings soon disappear. Why invest in something that's temporary when we can invest in the kingdom of God that will last forever? That's the challenge I came away with and will be dwelling on for a while.
We also had a campfire, where we sang some songs of praise and were encouraged to remember what God has done in our lives. For example, what sequence of events led you to church, or led to you becoming a Christian? Sometimes we can get so caught up in the present that we forget to look back and reflect on what God has done in the past. Even in hardships, we have to remember that God is good, all of the time. It's so important to remind ourselves of that and to encourage each other with the good news of the gospel.
Below are some notes from the three teaching sessions. I also attended a seminar on engaging with people living with learning disabilities.
Gospel (Romans 3:19-26)
The word 'gospel' is mentioned many times throughout the New Testament. It grips Paul. It's the good message, the good news. Evangelism is the sharing of that good news. In Romans 1:1-17 it's mentioned six times. The gospel was promised beforehand and it concerns the Son. It's the power to salvation and God's rescue comes through it. In Ephesians it's referred to as the truth that saves us. God has entrusted us with this message.
Adam and Eve rebelled. We reject his law and can't live in his presence. It's our sin that separates us from God. As it was in Adam and Eve, it is in us. At the beginning God is preparing his people for the sacrifice he was going to make. Isaiah speaks of a suffering servant. God promises a king and a sacrifice. Jesus is perfect humanity and perfect God. Jesus surrenders himself on the cross. The way is provided for forgiveness of sins. Before the throne of God how could we justify ourselves? But if our sin is atoned for, it's not the same. The way to accept this good news is by faith. We should appreciate the gospel.
There is nothing more deep or more glorious than the gospel of Jesus Christ. Where do you go to see the love of God? Go to the finished work of Jesus. Is it as central to us as it is to God? People argue over so many small things but this good news is supposed to captivate us. Never lose sight of what God has done for us. The good news of Jesus is the power of God to rescue people, no matter who they are, or where they're from, or what their background is.
Kingdom (Daniel 7:9-14)
What's your kingdom? What's the thing that sets your heart in motion? What are the things that excite you? Fun, career, enjoyment.
God reveals the future before Jesus is born (Daniel 2:44). Kingdoms are coming one after another but there will be an ultimate kingdom that will never be destroyed. The kingdom is the place where the King rules (Lord's prayer). Jesus spoke of the kingdom. He said it's near (Mark 1), it's in your midst and it's here. It's like a mustard seed (Mark 4:30-32). It will grow.
Jesus brings in the rule of the King. He establishes a kingdom that will never be shaken. It will endure for eternity (Daniel 7:13-14). Jesus will reign forever (Revelation 11:15). What are you living for? Our actions probably give us away. Our thoughts definitely would. God is calling us to find an identity in an eternal kingdom. Don't store up treasure on earth (Matthew 6:19-21), store up treasure in heaven. What we build in that kingdom will last forever. Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:31-33). His kingdom is more important than anything. It's about knowing the blessings of God now and for eternity.
Are you part of that kingdom? What are you building for? Are you investing in the kingdom of God? Why build a kingdom for something that will last for 10 years when you can build something that will last forever?
Eternity is our retirement.
Mission (Matthew 28:16-20)
Jesus asked people to follow him in this issue of kingdom building and working under his rule. It's about reaching out to others with the gospel. If we're following Jesus surely we'll do the things that he does. Seek those who are lost. Paul says the love of Christ compels him to share the gospel. We know there is this good news that transforms us and there's a kingdom that lasts forever.
How do we make disciples? Not everybody receives the gospel with joy. Sometimes we get fearful. It might not have the response we want it to. Our labour in the Lord is never in vain.

Shaw debuts in Sacramento with opposite-field double
A larger crowd was on hand Thursday night at Raley Field. Most of them were likely there for Thirsty Thursday, featuring two-dollar beers. Some others were there to see the Sacramento River Cats, featuring their brand new left fielder.
Chris Shaw made routine plays in left, fielding a few ground ball singles and catching a fly ball hit essentially directly at him. It was an easy night for him there. And it was a relatively easy night for him at the plate, too. Facing a left-hander, he went 1-for-4 with no strikeouts and an effortless-looking, opposite-field double that one-hopped the wall and scored a run.
Shaw hasn't had trouble facing left-handers, so his solid plate appearances against Marco Gonzales shouldn't have come as a surprise. The lowest he has ever OPS'd in a season against southpaws was his debut year in 2015 when he posted a .772 mark in 65 plate appearances.
One other note from Raley Field is a positive one about former top prospect and now re-emerging prospect Kyle Crick. He leads the organization with a 16.5 swinging strike percentage, and struck out three in a scoreless, yet stressful ninth inning to preserve a River Cats victory. Crick's walk rate is now down to 9.6%, almost four percent lower than 2016 and a whopping 12 percent lower than 2015. He's thrown 65 percent strikes in his 19.2 innings, compared to 59% in 2016 and 55% in 2015. It seems throwing more strikes helps.
But of course the strikes have to be hard to hit. Which leads us to his .240 opposing batting average, which is currently 25 points lower than 2016, but 35 points higher than 2015. Truthfully, he was walking people at such an insane rate that season that naturally people weren't hitting him. They were just taking free passes.
— Jae-Gyun Hwang tripled in a run, making it 10 extra-base hits in his last 12 games. His batting average is 50 points lower in May than April, but his slugging percentage is 86 points higher.
— Matt Krook made it back-to-back quality outing for the San Jose Giants, heavily using his sinker, according to Joe Ritzo, to get through six innings — his longest start of the season. Krook has posted this line in his last two starts: 11.1 IP, 7 H, 7 R, 4 ER, 4 BB, 6 K. Now, that may not look all that impressive. But when you compare that to what he had done in his first six starts, you know it's a sign of hopefully some better times for the big lefty.

The U.S. DOT's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) today announced an interim final rule that will require states and state law enforcement personnel to place interstate motor carriers out of service and assess appropriate state penalties for not properly registering with FMCSA as a for-hire carrier of passengers or freight.
"The registration enforcement rule provides our safety investigators and inspectors with a very powerful tool to take action against motor carriers who fail to obtain the required operating authority," FMCSA administrator Joseph M. Clapp said.
Motor carriers placed out of service under this rule may have a hearing within 10 days of the out-of-service order to contest the out-of-service charge.
The interim final rule requires all states, as a condition of receiving Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) funds, to place out of service any vehicles discovered operating without registration or proper operating authority. MCSAP funds provide states with money for roadside inspections and safety programs under federal grants.
Interstate carriers now submit a Form MCS-150, or a Motor Carrier Identification Report to the FMCSA. For-hire carriers must also apply for appropriate operating authority and file the required forms.
The interim final rule responds to requirements of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999, which required FMCSA to enforce motor carrier registration requirements and assess penalties for noncompliance.

Yes there's the fake lips and yes there's the fake hair, and of course you can't forget the are-they-or-aren't-they real boobs, but SERIOUSLY, Kylie Jenner's changing appearance is starting to get ridiculous!
In a new photo posted to her Instagram, the 17-year-old reality star looks literally nothing like herself.
Between the giant lips, the deep tan and the contoured complexion, Kylie looks like a doll come to life, or at the very least NOT like a teenager.

Kylie stepped out yesterday in an all suede brown outfit to show off her recently dyed turquoise hair extensions. Although by this morning she was already back to brunette, showing off a set of cornrows in a crop top and sweatpants.

Hell in the Highlands
Made in September 2014 in Inverness, Scotland.
It was a big year for Scotland in 2014, with the independence referendum taking centre stage across the country. We decided to take the afternoon off work at dp digital media and go out and make a short film which reflected, in a comic way, the tensions that the debate had uncovered.
Allan Crook developed the story and Directed the short piece whilst I worked as Camera Operator/DOP.
In Allans words "We wanted to make a film about the Scottish Independence Referendum that is due to occur on the 18th September 2014. This vote will decide whether Scotland remains in the United Kingdom or not. We set out to make an politically impartial film that stripped the debate down to what is essentially a fight between to opposing forces. The inspiration and title came from the Lee Marvin/Toshiro Mifune film Hell In The Pacific about two shipwrecked US and Japanese soldiers during WW2 who have to work together to escape a desert island. It was shot in Culloden Woods in the Highlands of Scotland."

7 Ways to keep your Suit wrinkles free on short trips
Pay a lot of money for a well-fitting suit is definitely a good investment to keep you looking fashionable and professional for years to come. However, it is for nothing if you go to a meeting on a business trip with the tired and wrinkled suit. With restrictions on hand luggage and many, bus, taxi or train journeys that might follow, how do you keep your swimsuit looking smart when you travel? Mahir Ali the artistic director of the brand and COO at Ascots and chapels… gives us some tips on how to travel smart and reaching the intelligent search.
7 Ways to keep your Suit wrinkles free on short trips
Keep Pockets Empty
First, when packing a suit to travel is sure to remove everything in your pockets. Not only do they cause the combination of fold but they could also cause irreparable damage to the combination during your trip. A forgotten pen might leak or a set of keys could rip or tear the seams. You are reading 7 Ways to keep your Suit wrinkles free on short trips
Fold it Inside Out
A typical trip to keep your suit jacket to be increased while traveling is to bend backwards. It protects the outer fabric from damage and reduces how it will get wrinkled. When it comes to pants folding, the trick is to fold them in half lengthwise, then in half again. This will preserve the appearance and pressed own fold along the length. Since pants are weaker than your jacket, they are more likely to fold when you travel then make sure to hang them up as soon as you arrive at your destination.
Hang your Suit on wooden Hanger
The same goes for your jacket when you arrive at your hotel or wherever you are staying, put it up on a coat hanger solid. This will help prevent further wrinkles while simultaneously allowing some wrinkles inevitable trip to soften. Hang the jacket out of the closet to make it a little air and did not smell the airport or your suitcase. Be sure to hang the suit on a good solid arch, preferably wood. If your room has only flimsy wire or plastic hangers it is certainly useful to contact the concierge to see if they have any others.

While you get things the concierge ask them if they offer a free steaming or pressing service. If you have enough time before your meeting a quick steam blast out those wrinkles and lingering odors on your travels give your costume a crisper & sharper. If your hotel does not provide a vapor or a laundry ask to borrow a steam iron and ironing board to blow up these wrinkles.
Have Additional Pair of Trousers

Unlike your jacket that does not come in direct contact with the skin, and is removed regularly throughout the day, your pants can be increased and dirty much faster.
Use Lint Brush

The clothes tend to collect lint when they are packed and quick once-over with a lint brush can bring your swimming back to life in minutes. They are cheap and clothes brushes travel is easy to carry with you while traveling.
Travel Bag for your Suit

Episode 7
Pleasure and sex are not always synonymous, and for young women this is especially true. Despite Phoebe's early and creative forays into the world of self-pleasure, it was not until she had a 'feminist awakening' that she began to prioritize her own desires outside of an unfulfilling heteronormative script. Copious amounts of nudity, the vernacular of cunt, orgies, art wives, road trips, and an impressive sexual bucket list awaited her. But it takes an adventurous spirit with no tolerance for misogyny to get there.

[11:10 pm]
My friend, which we hadn't talk to each other for a while, just texted me cause he's depressed. He got his car stolen (his insurance doesn't cover theft), lost his job (was delivering stuff so no car, no job) and had to kick two people out of his house (they weren't paying and were into shady stuff). Sounds like a lot and makes my misfortune look like nothing. I feel bad but I sorta wonder if this is all true as like I just said, it seems like a hell of a lot for one person to go through in a week. I wish I could do something to help him out but I'm way too far to be able to do anything.
This entry isn't much but I felt like writing about this as I don't know.. I don't think this friend would lie to me about stuff happening in his life but it just sounds so surreal. I also feel really bad about even thinking in the first place that he could be exaggerating. We've always been very good friends and I don't know why I'm even doubting what he's saying. I guess it's cause we've been drifting a part and talking on and off although we've always remain friends. I just hope that things will get better for him. I hate knowing that he's been depress as I've always known him as the happy type.
Knowing about someone else's bad luck makes you rethink yours. I know I always complain for the smallest thing but hey, it's who I am. If I don't complain.. i'm not me anymore.

13 people put in a huge effort last weekend, and we have created the line for the
first mountainbike-specific track at Motupipi Hill, to be called Knoll Ridge Track.
Lots of chainsaws sure get thru the trees fast!
Thanks, everyone, for solid cutting, slashing, grubbing and clearing. For a more detailed report, ask Frazer, Kerry, Eva, Brian, Clare, Thomas, his two sons, Mandy, John, Kier, Phil, Averil, Beth or Tana, and many thanks to Ricky for running his expert eye over the planned line. Next step - tidying up so that a digger can do the heavy work!

I have spent this last week quietly wandering the city and saying goodbye to it.
I have just another few days to tidy up loose ends and then I am gone.
The good news, for me, is that in examining the 10 years I spent living here, I realised that I did find ways to be happy here, in this city I didn't really expect to stay in so long. The Belgian bloke and I had talked of the possibility of New Zealand and Istanbul ... way back when we began but he needed to stay for his children, his career.
Over these years I have explored most of the country and was fortunate in meeting so many Belgians who became friends. I'll miss them.
There were the photography exhibitions, some of the best times of my life. And the NGO job over in Brussels, that one where I did their communications and photography. That one I put to one side for the 3 months as sole exhibition photographer in Berlin. There were the corporate and private shoots. And the portrait photography, individual and family, always.
The photography workshops over in Genova, Italy ... a million hours of weaving a network of good people and experiences that finally came together in the very best of ways back in the summer of 2015. Just as my Belgian world was grinding to a nasty halt.
But living in Antwerp, I attended so many remarkable events, and was interviewed for television three times - interviews that varied in length but they were always curious about why this Kiwi was living in Belgium.
I read an Antwerpen poet's poem in public and was praised by his widow for my reading. I was also recorded reading an ee cummings poem for another city project. I volunteered as a photographer at the integration centre, and had my immigrant story added to others stored in the new Red Star Line Museum. I worked as a photographer in so many places, so many times out on Flanders Fields where the people of the Westhoek warmed my soul. I met prime ministers, actors, governor generals and all kinds of other folk too. Lots of Belgian politicians. I voted in two elections, at very least. Maybe more. Belgian elections have this way of blurring into nothing for me.
There have been years of hard work, often unpaid but they were years rich in experiences and people.
Then I spent summers exploring Europe with the Belgian bloke, pockets of time taken out from our mad busy worlds. I took him home to my New Zealand world and we wandered all over my country too. Then there was Genova, Istanbul and Berlin. Stavanger, thanks to Ren. We explored Holland, Germany, France and Luxembourg too. There was Salamanca, the opera singer's wedding in Madrid, and the Australian/English wedding we captured out in the English countryside; the weddings we did in France and Berlin. Extraordinary weddings, extraordinary people. There was Ireland and Rob ...
So many of these trips were about visiting with friends I had made through the years.
I never did learn the language. I tried, my attempts were usually met with a disbelieving 'Wablief?'or ... 'We'll talk English'. Or they'd simply reply to me in very good English. That said, right about now, I find myself thankful I didn't learn Nederlands. It would have seemed like such a horrific waste of my time as I leave, and I never had bucketloads of time to waste ... until the end. Up until then, most of my time was used twisting and turning and trying to find ways to earn a regular income with that camera of mine.
So all that is left for me here, is accepting that the big old story set in this Belgian world is ending for me.
Now to begin again, again.

Bakery Detectives #11
Rachel & Pippa have recovered after their train ride of terror in Book 8.
Book 8 Book 8 ended in a cliffhanger. Without giving the cliffhanger conclusion away, Pippa & Rachel have found themselves in another murder scenario. We were aware that Rachel has decided to go along with the conglomerate, The Pastry Tree, to expand her bakery and her wallet.
All seems to be humming along well until the company representative is found dead at her hotel. Now, in addition to yet another murder to solve, all of Rachel's monetary dreams are put on hold. As if it wasn't enough, she and her boyfriend Kenneth are having serious issues. Perhaps he isn't the man fr her after all?
This newest addition to the series was certainly interesting. In the grand scheme of the series, the murder doesn't really fit in. As a standalone book, it seems mlike a normal cozy mystery. To me, a different victim would have been a better fit.
Here, we have some development with Pippa and her family. Her character remains flighty and one I often shake my head about. There's little development with Rachel as a character, but the town continues to expand and more support characters are introduced.
I had been anticipating the release of Book 11 due tot he cliffhanger. Without revealing, it was most definitely not where I thought it was going. While that's neither good nor bad, it was a bit of a letdown I suppose. The series, in all honesty, is running out of steam. Some cozy series can run on for book after book without sacrificing quality. This may not be the case here, unfortunately. This one is a 3 star book.

Nearly 50% of Chinese millionaires 'extremely confident' in Chinese economy
Nearly 50 percent of Chinese millionaires remain "extremely confident" in the Chinese economy, according to the latest Hurun Chinese Luxury Consumer Survey 2017.
The proportion of the millionaires who are "extremely confident" in the Chinese economy rose to 46 percent from 28 percent from a year ago, the survey revealed.
Those who said they have "no confidence" in the Chinese economy fell to six percent from nine percent a year earlier, the survey added.
The survey was conducted among 463 individuals with a personal wealth of 10 million yuan (US$1.5) each and 64 percent of them have assets worth above 100 million yuan.
Real estate is still the most favored investment for China's millionaires because 24 percent of respondents would invest in it, while 22 percent said they would choose equities. The millionaires are also more keen on fixed income wealth management products and mutual funds compared to a year ago.
The survey also revealed that over the next three years, overseas investment and art collection will gain higher interest from the millionaires while bank savings will dim as an investment choice.
At the end of 2016, there were 121,000 families with over 100 million yuan worth of assets in China (including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan), up 10.5 percent from a year ago, according to the Hurun Rich List 2017.

teen novels, comics, children's books, adult fiction, nonfiction... you name it!
Saturday, May 18, 2013
Jagannath by Karin Tidbeck
In some of the stories, a parent or relative is of the faerie realm. In Brita's Holiday Village, uncanny things happen during the off-season. In both Cloudberry Jam and Miss Nyberg and I, a sort of child or creature is grown from plant materials. A man falls in love with a zeppelin in Beatrice; this one reminded me of one of Kurt Vonnegut's stories, Jenny, about a man's relationship with a refrigerator.
Tidbeck's stories are eerie marvels, as invigoraing as a brisk morning with the scent of pine in the air.

A Las Vegas man suspected of shooting a man on October 29th was later shot and killed by officers after he wielded a weapon.
The incident occurred at 2420 E. Desert Inn Road near the Ross Dress for Less store at the corner of Eastern Avenue. At around 3 p.m., three police officers arrived at the scene where Ronald James Morrison, 52, pulled a weapon from his waistband. Morrison was shot and killed by the Las Vegas officers shortly after their arrival.
Police initially responded to reports of a shooting that took place in a parking lot on E. Desert Inn Road near S. Eastern Avenue. When officers arrived at the parking lot right outside the Ross Dress for Less store, they found the gunshot victim who appeared to have a wound on one of his hands.
The suspect, who was initially in the vicinity of the crime scene when police officers arrived, was located in the parking lot. After the arrival of the officers, Morrison fled the scene by foot and led officers on a chase that ended in a back alley.
The back alley is where the Las Vegas officers say that Morrison displayed and brandished a weapon. According to the officers, after the suspect revealed the weapon he failed to comply with the commands of the officers. After officers shot Morrison, he died at the scene.
The officers have consequently been placed on paid administrative leave. The police officers will remain on administrative leave while the incident is investigated.
The names of the officers involved in the shooting are due to be released within 48 hours of the occurrence. The release of the names of the Las Vegas police officers during this time frame is considered to be the policy of the department.
The victim who Morrison is accused of shooting in the hand is currently in stable condition.
Morrison does not have an extensive arrest record. In 2009, Las Vegas officers arrested and charged the suspect with a DUI.

Toasted Sesame Cookies
Makes 3 ½ dozen cookies
Growing up there were always these sesame-coated cookies on the table when company came over. We called them Regina cookies. They looked so boring; I never even thought to take one. Now that I'm older, I look for them. They are one of those cookies that are great anytime of day - in the morning with coffee or tea, as a lunchtime snack or an after dinner dessert. I like to make them the day before I eat them, allowing them to harden overnight.
⅔ cup sesame seeds
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 ounces butter, very soft
½ cup sugar
1 egg
⅛ teaspoon almond extract
¼ cup scalded milk, cooled
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small skillet, toast the sesame seeds on high heat until they begin to color. They will not toast evenly; some will be light and some will be dark. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl. Allow to cool completely.
Combine the flour, baking powder and salt and stir to combine.
In a stand mixer, with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and almond extract and mix well. The batter may be grainy; that's fine. With the mixer on low, add half of the flour mixture. When it is almost fully incorporated, add the milk. Combine. Add the remaining flour and mix to combine. Refrigerate the dough for 30 minutes to an hour.
Use a small cookie scoop to create mounds of the dough. Roll into balls and then drop them into the toasted sesame seeds, rolling them around until they are fully coated. Flatten the round ever-so-slightly.
Transfer to a cookie sheet lined with parchment and bake for about 15 minutes, or just until the cookies start to crack on top.

This is Nirmala. I gave her large, rather elvish ears, and she is dressed in a simple Indian-style sari complete with matching petticoat and under-blouse. Nirmala has a real bindi on her forehead, and a tiny pink crystal nose stud. Oh, I named her after a person I know who is from India, but I also think it's a pretty name anyway.
I think her face turned out so sweet...she seems to have a kindly expression. ^_^

Are Investors Buying Hewlett-Packard's Turnaround Strategy?
Limping tech giant Hewlett-Packard has an analyst event planned Wednesday. Investors have been patient with Meg Whitman throughout her tenure so far. A year ago, the CEO laid out an ambitious turnaround strategy for Hewlett-Packard based upon the enterprise segment. The CEO also took two large writedowns during this process, earning praise for her leadership. Hewlett-Packard has also done well as an investment year to date, with shares up over 40%.
However, are investors getting impatient with this turnaround strategy? Meg seemed to hedge on the "growth in 2014" promise and has demoted Dave Donatelli, the head of the enterprise computing sector. What does Hewlett-Packard need to do to grow revenue again? Hewlett-Packard also decided to shift to a multi-platform approach, who are the winners and losers of this change?
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses Hewlett-Packard's turnaround strategy with Jamal Carnette and Evan Niu, CFA.
Hewlett-Packard may not be growing, but these companies are!

A look at the essential skills, training, salary information and working conditions of music instructors who teach from their private home studios.
Private music teachers are trained individuals who have established their music studio as a home-based business. They provide music instruction to children and adults of all ages and levels.
Music instructors teach students proper technique, musicianship, practice strategies, music theory and appreciation. Music lessons are taught either one-on-one or in group classes.
Key Skills Needed to be a Private Music Teacher
Music teachers need strong written and spoken communication skills. They give music lessons to a wide range of students, from preschool children to retirees. Having the versatility to communicate with all of these age levels is not just an asset, but a necessity.
Listening skills are vital. Music instructors need to listen carefully to musical elements such as notes, rhythm, articulation, pedaling, shaping, tempo and flow. Based on their assessment, they help their students correct inconsistencies and learning errors.
Music teachers should possess good perception and observation skills. They need to detect and correct improper technique and posture which, if left unchecked, could lead to musician injuries. Effective music teachers are sensitive to their student's body language. They also need to be attuned to their students' shifts in mood and energy level, then make adjustments to better meet the needs of their students.
Independent music teachers also require strong administrative, planning and organizational skills. Aptitude, learning preferences, motivations, needs, interests and personalities are unique to each student. Therefore, lesson plans need to be personalized for each student.
Education and Training Requirements for a Private Music Teacher
Education and training requirements vary, depending on the subjects taught and instrument. All music teachers have taken years of music lessons. Many perform as soloists or collaborative musicians. Some music teachers are also adjudicators, examiners, composers, music publishers or clinicians.
Music teachers who teach classical music have achieved a high level of proficiency in their instrument, many holding a music diploma or degree. Teachers who fall into this category include: piano teachers, voice teachers, music theory teachers, strings teachers, woodwinds teachers, brass teachers and percussion teachers.
On the other hand, there are some teachers with extensive performing experience and practical music theory knowledge but they lack certification from a music conservatory or university. Coaches and teachers active in the popular music industry are in this category.
Teachers who offer group lessons such as Kindermusik, Music for Young Children, Kodály, Suzuki or Yamaha go through additional program-specific training.
Job Responsibilities of a Private Music Teacher
Private music teachers are self-employed. They are responsible for all facets of running their own business, including:
- Developing lesson plans, teaching materials and time-lines tailored for each student
- Preparing students for music examinations, festivals and competitions
- Lesson registration and scheduling
- Set lesson tuition, develop and enforce studio policies
- Communicating with parents with regards to performance opportunities, student progress, issues and registration deadlines and requirements for examinations, festivals and competitions
- Sales and marketing
- Administrative tasks such as bookkeeping, filing, research and development, cleaning, troubleshooting technology issues
- Keeping up with their own professional development
- Staying current on trends on music pedagogy and studio technology and software available
- Ensuring the safety and welfare of their students while under their care
Independent music instructors can keep up with their professional development through continuing education and being involved with a professional music teaching association such as the Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) and the Canadian Federation of Music Teachers' Associations (CFMTA).
Salary Information and Working Conditions for Private Music Teachers
Unfortunately, the figures are not well documented. One site, Indeed.com lists the average salary for an "instrumental music tutor" as $52,000. Whether that reflects the salary for someone who teaches at the post-secondary level is unclear.
It is safe to say that private music teachers earn more than music teachers who teach in a music store/school. Private music teachers establish their fees based on their education, teaching experience, performing experience and track record.
The market can be somewhat volatile. Combined with the limitations to teaching, there seems to be a significant number of instructors who teach music on a part-time basis.
Private music teachers provide instruction in their home studio. Some have their office in a separate room from their teaching studio, while others teach and do office work in the same space.
Home studios contain a professional library or audio/visual recordings, music scores and textbooks, at least one instrument, a metronome, good lighting, good seating, voice mail or an answering machine to take calls during lessons, music stands, a washroom and a waiting area. Some studios have a computer, rhythm machine or recording equipment. Many piano teachers for instance, own more than one piano. The second instrument is used for ensemble playing or teacher demonstrations.
Although some private music teachers offer lessons during the day, most teach in the afternoon and evening, when their students have come home from school or work. Some music instructors offer lessons on the weekends.
Private music teachers generally teach throughout the school year, although some offer summer lessons or workshops. January to June are especially hectic as that is when students polish and memorize their pieces to the high degree of fluency required to perform at recitals, examinations and music festivals.
Private music teachers need a diverse skill-set to succeed. In addition to possessing a high degree of knowledge and proficiency in their instrument, they must adapt and change their teaching approach to match the needs of each student. They must be highly organized as they balance the needs of their students, the administrative needs of their business, and their own professional development. The pace can be intense but the rewards of sharing their love for music and hearing each student develop their own musical voice are priceless.

#62: Social Psychology and the Police
Killings of unarmed black people by police have worsened historically troubled police-community relations. Until recently, little research existed that might help explain this or improve the situation. Social psychologists have created work that helps us understand why things go wrong in policing, what role race plays, and how we can do better.
Dr. Phillip Atiba Goff is the Thomas Professor of Policing Equity at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the president and co-founder of the Center for Policing Equity. He's one of the nation's leading researchers in the field.

Day Three in Tokyo was date day. I waited for Chris at Shinjuku station, and when she didn't show, I wandered around Shinjuku for a bit, angry. On my way back through the station (I was going to Akihabara again), she caught me by sheer chance, apologized, and took me to 100 Yen Sushi before we left the city. There, she told me her name wasn't really Chris; it was Jacky. Also, she hated Japanese Food.
Regardless, I was set on having a date with C-J, so I held my spirits high as she took me far outside the city center, to the suburbs. We shuttled from Train to Train to Train to Bus and landed at Gaming/Go-Karting/Baseball/Golf/Darts Paradise: DAIKEN.
It's been years since I've loitered outside a city center, and the suburbs of Tokyo felt very Midwestern. If it wasn't for the immense Shinto/Buddhist/Christian cemetery beside this Tokyo Pseudo-Dave-&-Busters, I would have felt trapped in Rosemont.
I searched for a SFIII cabinet, and was disappointed when the warehouse of gaming didn't have a single Capcom machine.
I played video games, raced go karts, threw some darts and started to get very bored. Finally, I asked C-J if we could head back into the city for dinner. Reluctantly, she agreed . . . which was strange, since I couldn't tell if she was having fun or not. It was raining now, and we only had a tiny broken plastic umbrella for the both of us. Together, we slipped down the steep abandoned suburban streets to the bus stop, and discovered that the bus had stopped running at 5:45.
CJ got on the phone and starting chattering to the public transport help line and located another bus stop some 2km away. We had to get there by 7:47. So we laughed and walked through the freezing rain, her jeans getting soaked up to the knee, and my skirt-exposed calves cramping in the cold.
At 7:15, we arrived at the bus stop. The streets were empty, and the only shelter from the rain was a torn tarp over someone's doorstep. We stood across the street from a temple, and waited. I kept thinking, "This is just like Totoro," but knew I couldn't share my feelings with C-J since she didn't know anything about any pop culture in Japan from the last 30 years.
You gotta love the public transportation system in Tokyo. At 7:47, the bus showed up.
Too bad it was haunted.
We got back into the city and I treated C-J to dinner in Shinjuku. We picked a random restaurant in the NJ building, and were seated in a nearly-private room. The menu was all kanji, so I just ordered the "Course Dinner." Waiting for the meal, I gazed out the window - - and was shocked.
Our restaurant was guarded by the Tokyo Metropolitan! Never in my life have I been star-struck, but here I was, speechless and giddy over a building! The Met has been in so many anime. I've rarely seen a photograph of it, yet here it was, watching me eat dinner. C-J couldn't understand, but I was in heaven. I left Shinjuku that night disappointed by the date, but delighted by the scenery.

The Majestic Building was a high-rise building located at 1001[a] Woodward Avenue in Downtown Detroit, Michigan.[1] The building was constructed in 1896 for the Mabley and Company department store chain and was the city's second skyscraper, following the completion of the Hammond Building.[2] It contained 14 stories and stood at 68 m (223 ft) in height. This building was designed in the Beaux-Arts style by Daniel H. Burnham & Company, and faced with terra cotta. The final construction cost of the building was $1,000,000. This was Detroit's tallest building, from its completion in 1896 until 1909, when it was overtaken by the Ford Building. Unfortunately, C. R. Mabley died before the building's completion and new owners used it solely as an office block. It was purportedly renamed the Majestic building to conform with the letter "M" (for Mabley) carved in numerous places in its façade.[3]
The Majestic Building was hailed as a "fireproof skyscraper" and this claim was proven in 1915 when a fire broke out on the top floor and burned for two hours. The fire never spread to other floors and never endangered the building's supporting structure.
Beginning in 1907, the Majestic Building housed offices and a roof-top observation deck for the United States Weather Bureau for science and meteorologists performing weather observations. This observation deck offered unobstructed views for up to 12 miles in any direction, and was open to the public for a dime admission.[2]
The Detroit News engaged "The Human Fly" Harry H. Gardiner to scale the building's exterior in 1916 as a promotional stunt. The event was scheduled for the noon lunch hour and attracted such a large crowd, that traffic and streetcars on Woodward Avenue came to a halt.[1]
The building was demolished in 1962, to make way for the First Federal Building, which was finished in 1965.[2]
- a Detroit street addresses were renumbered starting January 1, 1921; the building's original address was 137 Woodward Avenue.

[This is a review of The Brink season 1, episode 10. There will be SPOILERS.]
You wouldn't expect a series so in love with its own tepid sense of brinkmanship to turn into another example of blue-sky television, but that's exactly what HBO's disappointing geopolitical satire The Brink turns out to be, as it wraps up season 1 with an episode whose title, 'There Will Be Consequences,' provides the only genuine reason to laugh.
For 10 weeks, the show has played with the idea of pending nuclear war, thanks to the broadly drawn might-is-right policy of various nations around the world. The series struggled week-in and week-out to force its thinly drawn characters into the predictable machinations of a plot that was more concerned with arriving at an inevitable conclusion than it was with creating any palpable sense of pressure or urgency – which, even within the structure of a comedy, should be present when the topic at hand is something as dire as the complete and utter nuclear annihilation of the world.
Instead, The Brink – which so clearly wanted to be Dr. Strangelove, or at the very least, In the Loop – makes several pivotal mistakes. The first is its failure to take its subject matter seriously enough to afford it some semblance of nuance and tension, while also being funny. You know, like Dr. Strangelove. The second is that the series is clearly convinced two of its more obnoxious characters (i.e., Alex Talbot and Walter Larson) are plucky heroes of the story, it misses a crucial opportunity to say something (anything) about the sloppy state of politics and world affairs, choosing instead to focus on the most obvious sex, drug, or bodily function-related joke possible.
This need to glorify characters like Tim Robbins' oversexed Walter Larson or Jack Black's graceless Alex Talbot only rendered them flat throughout the entirety of the season. The plot routinely forced Larson and Talbot to navigate one increasingly dire and yet easily resolved obstacle after another, rather than pausing to round them out in a way that might have made them anything but the smug caricatures they were presented as. The end result of this pervasive one-dimensionality is a glib, perfunctorily cynical tone that might have worked if the writers had something compelling to say, or if it felt as though anything was ever actually at stake.
And after so many weeks of maneuvering, the plot is boiled down so that Zeke (Pablo Schreiber) and Glenn (Eric Laden) can drunkenly engage a Pakistani jet fighter, Larson can singlehandedly manage the various nations of world via teleconference, and Talbot and Rafiq (Mandvi) can work to persuade the sociopathic General Zaman (Iqbal Theba) to call back the very pilot(s) being chased down. To its credit, there's a brief moment when the finale allows the audience to think the story won't unfold in the most conventional manner possible – when Zaman kills himself with Talbot's gun, and the jet fighter is revealed to have been a decoy. It's then that The Brink teeters on the verge of an actual surprise, one that would disprove the series' disheartening aversion to risk and uncertainty, but those twists prove to be two more low-rising obstacles for the heroes to casually step over.
The end result is a middling half hour that concludes a middling season by having Zeke and Glenn successfully take both planes out of the sky, sacrificing their aircraft in the process, while Larson proves to be a talented multitasker, preventing a chain reaction of retaliatory nuclear strikes and getting busy with his wife (the criminally underused Carla Gugino). Talbot and Rafiq essentially do nothing but inadvertently help Larson figure out there are two planes headed for Tel Aviv and then scream warnings in English through a crowded marketplace in Islamabad. But they do get to proclaim their friendship for one another, so, in the end, it seems the real brink was the brink of love.
It's not until the episode's coda shows a young boy stumble upon the wreckage of the Pakistani plane that The Brink makes any attempt to say something constructive and analytical about the inevitable cost of nuclear armament and geopolitical one-upmanship. And, oddly, enough, it effectively does so without any of the primary cast appearing on screen. But even then, the moment a nuclear warhead is loaded onto the back of a truck and taken to some undisclosed location in Eritrea, it feels less like the writers are making a statement about the cyclical nature of power and the ever-present threat of war, than they are just propping open a door for season 2.
Maybe the next season will find a way to utilize that threat in a more compelling and humorous manner, one that shows greater discipline when it comes to threading a satirical comedic tone through some rather grim subject matter. Good satire levels a critique on its subject, whether it's a person, a place, or a situation. The Brink only goes so far as to provide its audience with the person, the place, and the situation, making a handful of surface-level jokes at their expense. But ultimately, it's too timid to make the grand statement it thinks it is capable of.
The Brink season 2 will premiere in 2016 on HBO.

I have so many things going on that I want to share with you, and I have all year to blog for you guys, so I will get to everything. It's such a hard decision to even know where to start though! Since diabetes is what has really brought in the most social media attention, I decided I am going to tell you a little bit about my story and my message to you all!
In February 2012, my world was flipped upside down by my diabetes diagnosis. For a while, I pretended that I didn't have diabetes, hoping it would go away. That led to crazy blood sugars, of course, and a very sick, grumpy, and discouraged Sierra.
In the summer, my friend asked me to compete at Miss Magic Valley (our local pageant in Twin Falls, Idaho—the winner goes to Miss Idaho the following summer). To compete, I needed a platform and I chose diabetes. I was a very different, less confident girl then. I didn't know what I wanted to do with my platform, or how to make it happen. Needless to say, I did not win Miss Magic Valley 2012, and that was totally okay! Life went on, and I met new friends and learned a lot! In addition, I decided that if nothing else, I was going to take the best care of my diabetes as possible to show others that it was possible.
A couple months later, I competed in another pageant, and WON! However, I competed at Miss Idaho last summer and didn't make top 11 (out of 18 girls). I came home, competed for Miss Magic Valley 2013, won, and have spent the last year promoting my platform, fundraising for Children's Miracle Network, and trying to grow as an individual.
My platform is now Possibilities for Disabilities. My sister and I put on sports camps for people with developmental disabilities. I found that the reason my diabetes platform was so powerful was not because of the disease itself, but because of my message: we all have obstacles, but we need to know that we can overcome them, as well as use them to empower ourselves and make an impact on those around us. The kids I work with at my camps are champs, and this message relates to them, as well as diabetics and every other person on the planet! I will talk more about my official platform in a future blog post!
At Miss Idaho 2014, as most of you know, I made the decision to wear my pump on stage while competing. That decision took me two long years to make. When I first started competing, I was using injections rather than a pump. I didn't want people to see a weird-tubey-machine-thing attached to me all the time, and could not wrap my head around having a medical device on my body for the rest of my life.
Then, I heard about Nicole Johnson: Miss America 1999. She wore her pump while competing at Miss America. My whole perspective changed.
The media often tells us this lie: if your appearance deviates in any way from cover girls, movie stars, super models, etc., it is a flaw and something is wrong with you. Well, guess what? Miss America 1999 has an insulin pump, and it doesn't make her any less beautiful. In fact, in my mind, it enhances her beauty! So, a year after I was diagnosed, I got a pump. It helped me get even better control of my diabetes, and made my life SO much easier. Working up the confidence to compete with it was an entirely different journey, but this summer at Miss Idaho 2014, I finally did it.
As I nervously walked out of the dressing room the first night of competition, the first person I saw said, "What's that? Is that an insulin pump?". My stomach flipped upside down. "I shouldn't have worn this," I thought, "everyone is going to be confused and wonder what I am wearing". But, the inquisitor happened to be McCall Salinas, the current Miss Idaho's Outstanding Preteen. She shared with me that she had diabetes as well, but didn't want a pump because of similar reasons I had had. Through out the night, she stood backstage cheering me on. We bonded over diabetes and pageants, and by the end of the night, she told her mom she was ready to get a pump. It brought me to tears. The thought that I could be one person's "Nicole Johnson" meant more to me than I can ever put into words. Now, with the title of Miss Idaho, I have had a million new opportunities to spread the word about diabetes and overcoming obstacles! I am overwhelmed with hearing how many lives have been touched by me simply wearing my pump on stage. It means so much to me, and I hope I can touch many more during my year as Miss Idaho.
All my love,
Sierra Sandison

Cleanroom integrity depends on three parameters - pressure, temperature and humidity. Pressure is perhaps the most important for cleanroom safety, it is the differential pressure that is measured between the cleanroom and the external atmosphere. The differential pressure is often low, often below 0.5 millibar (0.2 inch water).
Critical pressure measurements require accurate, reliable pressure sensors. The Protran® PR3202 is designed for low level pressure measurement in all type of cleanroom, including those classed as hazardous areas. Fully temperature compensated and EMC protected, these pressure transmitters combine precise pressure measurement with the robustness required for the harshest environments.
ESI Technology design and manufacture – so options are almost infinite. This is useful because cleanrooms come in different types. Negative pressure cleanrooms are used for potentially dangerous situations where the hazard needs to be contained e.g. flammable, explosive and corrosive chemicals, and bio-safety. Positive pressure cleanrooms are used when any escaping is safe and to prevent ingress of dust, airborne matter and pollutant gas in the atmosphere.
Both types of cleanroom can be classed as hazardous, according to ATEX, IEC or US Class/Div standards. ESI Technology pressure transmitters can be used in these applications too. Ultra low levels can be made to custom requirements and there is a choice of housing depending on environment.
Service and calibration can be done in situ thanks to access by the front covers. This is important because sensitivity of the measurement and sensor technology mean that calibration in the laboratory is invalid in the cleanroom.

We are at a convention banquet and it is my last official appearance as President of my state trial lawyer association. Gerhard – the Executive Director – is going to say a few words. I'm sitting up on the podium along with other officers looking at the audience of smiling faces. This is a tradition. Time to pass the gavel. And Gerhard starts off: "I have to admit, I was kind of dreading having Karen as President." The audience gasps. Not sure. Is that a joke?
I'm laughing. It isn't. He definitely was worried about me being the "face" of the organization. Sure I'm competent, but I also am hmmmm unpredictable. Mainly because I don't like scripts, speak my mind, and can be a bit irreverent. He then goes on to say very nice things. But still, afterwards people come up to me worried that I may have been offended. Hahaha not hardly.
One of my goals as President was to keep Gerhard constantly entertained. Each month I wrote a column for our newspaper. He retained the right to edit it. So, of course I would turn in the column late so he had to be quick. Several times I managed to turn it in so late that he couldn't do anything. One of his favorites was probably the time I "threw punch" out our national association (AAJ) for failing to have a diversity plan. I actually made some folk very angry. The article called "DISSENT" had a photo of me with duct tape over my mouth. AAJ's ED called up Gerhard and asked why he let me publish the piece. Hah! Why indeed. The following wonderful quotes came from that article.
In the forward to A Mathematician's Apology (Cambridge University Press 1940) Prof. G.H. Hardy says:
It is never worth a first class man's time to express a majority opinion. By definition, there are plenty of others to do that.
Progress is made, not by comfortably agreeing with the conventional wisdom, but by having the courage to say what no one else is saying and to say it with clearly articulated reasons that motivate people to change their opinions.
Perhaps the greatest value of dissent is "that the sponsoring and protection of dissent generally have progressive implications" for social change because "[d]issent communicates the fears, hopes, and aspirations of the less powerful to those in power." Dissent, Injustice, and the Meanings of America. Steven H. Shiffrin. (Princeton University Press 1999).
There is a reason why law students are taught to argue both sides of a case. Lively debate is considered a fundamental touchstone to the truth finding process necessary in a democratic society. An organization that shies away from embracing the expression of dissident opinion, no matter how insulting, is an organization that risks being undermined and weakened by its own self satisfaction.
But the peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
John Stuart Mill, (Oxford: Blackwell, 1947) at 15. Quoted in Justice Brennan's opinion in New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254, 270 (1964).
My friend Ron Ward, a true hero for the cause of diversity, sent me this quote:
".....If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground; they want rain without thunder or lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters."
FREDRICK DOUGLASS, West Indian Emancipation Celebration at Canandaigua, New York, August 4, 1857.
Speak up. Be heard. Make a ruckus every now and then for something you believe in.

In a recent poll, we asked which group causes you more frustration in terms of safety: management or workers. The results weren't even close—67% said management.
Support from senior management on safety issues and initiatives is really important to the success of the company's OHS program and the workplace's overall safety culture. So how do you get it?
One way is by using the OHS Insider's Brief Your CEO/Senior Management articles, found under "Officers & Directors" in the index, to explain important safety compliance issues to your company's officers, directors and other senior executives.
These briefings typically show the mistakes that other companies have made and what your company can learn from their experiences. The articles cover topics such as:
- Criminal liability based on a supervisor's acts
- Accommodating disabled workers
- The impact of failing to pay fines
- Inadequate training
- Safety culture.
In addition, use our "Making the Business Case for Safety" content to convince senior management that investing in safety compliance, training and other safety-related initiatives will benefit both the workers and the company in various ways. Some of the topics covered by these articles include:
- Benefits of setting long-term EHS goals
- Financial benefits of participatory ergonomics programs
- Proving the return-on-investment of safety training programs.

Don't you just love going on a tangent? Me too! I think I just needed to purge. I feel better now.
Now Memphis in May Tri Festival is coming up and I don't believe I've EVER felt so ready. What a difference a structured training plan makes and it's been worth every penny! We will pack our tri bags next week during the taper. I will probably be a little pre-occupied until after the race. I'm serious this year. Up until now I've been winging it and just flying blind with my training. This year the goals are to finish strong, finish feeling good and just enjoy the fruits of my labor. Oh, and stay out of the med tent!
Good Luck
to all our friends doing Joe Martin this weekend!!!

Hey guys,
So, it's winter break and im really in the mood to blog and bake. So, naturally, that's what I did. I realized we had some overripe bananas around and so I decided to make banana bread. I opened my Joy of Cooking book and proceeded to make the banana bread only I made some changes. I baked it, took a bite, and fell in love! It was the best banana bread I've had in a long time and my family agreed with me! It was moist, soft, and banana-y!
It was so amazing I can't even describe it! It makes 2 big loaves. Here's the recipe:
2 cups whole wheat flour (you can sub regular white flour if you want)
2/3 cup quinoa flour (you can sub white or whole wheat flour if you want)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
8 tbsp butter (1 stick)
3 tbsp vegetable oil
1 1/4 cup sugar
4 eggs
About 2 cups of mashed bananas (I used 5 bananas)
3/4 cup walnuts or pecans (optional)
3 tablespoons yogurt
Beat butter, oil, and sugar until crumbly (chunks are fine). Whisk the flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and stir (again, chunks are fine). Add the eggs, beating before mixing in. Mash the bananas and add to the mix along with the 3 tablespoons of yogurt. Stir until lump free. Fold in the nuts and pour into 2 greased baking dishes. Bake for 40-50 minutes at 350*.
