RonOLDo - How Cristiano is showing his age at Euro 2016
All of Portugal is expecting to beat Hungary to qualify for the Euro 2016 knockout rounds tonight but, as much as that, the nation as a whole is willing Cristiano Ronaldo to score the goals to get them there. Rarely has the lack of form of one player commanded so much attention. It might well be a useful deflection for the other players in the squad who are yet to contribute to a win in France but there is no doubting the seriousness of the issue in the minds of Ronaldo's countrymen.
"After the first match the story was that Cristiano was all smiles," said coach Fernando Santos. "And now the story is that he is not smiling. I'm sure he will do what he does best, which is score. I'm sure he will do everything anxiety free." The Portugal captain has taken 22 shots so far at these European Championships but remains among those names with a big fat zero next to their goal tallies. Portugal's all-time top scorer, Real Madrid's all-time top scorer, in front of goal at least it appears that Ronaldo has indeed swapped bodies with that kid in Nike's pre-tournament advertisement.
Editors' Picks
There is much to admire in Ronaldo's seemingly endless capacity for coping with knock-backs. He is undaunted by mis-kicking volleys, untroubled by headers ending up only in the clutches of a goalkeeper. Every free-kick he takes and blasts into the wall would only appear to redouble Ronaldo's utter certainty that the next one goes in. Even after a botched penalty kick he was there to nod home minutes later - admittedly from an offside position. No matter, there was to be no hiding.
When Portugal take on Hungary in Lyon on Wednesday, he won't shirk or shy away from his responsibility to put the ball in the net. However, do not expect to see CR7 sprinting down the line with the ball at his feet and cutting inside to score. Those days are gone, long gone. No matter if his starting position in an attack is central or out wide, this Cristiano is a striker to be serviced.
He's created two chances at these games and has had those 22 shots. Those numbers are lop-sided but wholly indicative how peripheral Ronaldo is to Portugal's general play but how domineering he still is when it comes to getting the ball in attacking positions. Six Portugal players top Ronaldo for total touches in their games so far - Raphael Guerreiro leads the way from Pepe, Joao Moutinho, Vieirinha, Andre Gomes and Ricardo Carvalho. Those players are all involved further back in the chance creation process. Indeed, the most striking aspect of seeing Ronaldo playing for Portugal is the extent to which he seems to rely on the work of others.
This is a good Portugal team - no longer reliant on Ronaldo's individual talent to drag them through - and we seem to have reached a critical crossover where Portugal's overall collective talent is more important now than Ronaldo's individual talent. A man of his ego, however, is unlikely to see things that way. A three-time Ballon d'Or winner he may be, but every Portuguese attacking action features Ronaldo holding his run at the defensive line, pointing to where he intends to make his run. It's not just all about him, it's all about service.
"We won't deviate from the usual pattern," said Santos ahead of the crucial showdown in Lyon. "Of course there are variations. The last match we played 4-3-3 rather than 4-4-2. Cristiano was a forward, not a fixed striker."
Ronaldo has not yet and probably never will acquire the game IQ to drop into midfield and try to run the game from there. It happens to a lot of players once they lose that slight bit of explosiveness in the final third. But Ronaldo won't go there because if he does then he cannot score.
He probably does not have the ability to run a game from there and, anyhow, he defines himself by his goals. He is desperate for them, never more so than at Euro 2016.
Portugal have played well in their two matches. They have probably been among the best teams in that regard. But they've only scored once and Ronaldo hasn't scored at all. It will be affecting him, that gnawing anxiety that he's not yet put one in. And even had Portugal won one or both of their matches without Ronaldo scoring, there's no guarantee that he would be happy.
Without goals, Cristiano is without purpose. It is the way he defines himself. He is a player utterly reliant on his team-mates' ability to put him and him alone in scoring positions. No one else gets a free kick and don't even think about taking a penalty from him.

A Muslim-American radio host's lawyers are seeking a court order to get bank records for a neo-Nazi website publisher after questioning his father under oath about money donated by the site's readers.
Greg Anglin, the father of The Daily Stormer publisher Andrew Anglin, recently testified that he helped his son collect and deposit between $100,000 and $150,000 in readers' mailed donations over a five-year period, a court filing last Friday revealed.
On Oct. 31, attorneys for SiriusXM Radio show host Dean Obeidallah deposed Greg Anglin for the federal lawsuit they filed against his son last year in Columbus, Ohio. The suit says Andrew Anglin falsely labeled Obeidallah as the "mastermind" behind a deadly bombing at a concert in England.
Obeidallah's attorneys are asking for the court's authorization to subpoena financial records from three banks that Greg Anglin used to funnel donated money to his son.
Andrew Anglin hasn't formally responded to Obeidallah's lawsuit, which says Anglin libeled him, invaded his privacy and intentionally inflicted "emotional distress."
Obeidallah's attorneys from Muslim Advocates, a national legal and educational organization based in Oakland, California, are trying to secure a default judgment against Andrew Anglin and his company, Moonbase Holdings LLC. The records for the Anglins' bank accounts are necessary for calculating "appropriate damages" if the court enters a judgment in Obeidallah's favor, his lawyers wrote.
Anglin's site takes its name from Der Stürmer, a newspaper that published Nazi propaganda. The site includes sections called "Jewish Problem" and "Race War."
One of Obeidallah's lawyers asked Greg Anglin about the content of his son's website and why he helped him get its domain name registered in 2013.
"I have a difficult time as a dad sometimes knowing what to support and what not to support. I don't take responsibility for somebody else's actions," said Greg Anglin, according to a transcript of the deposition.
Andrew Anglin has received other financial support beyond the cash and checks that readers mailed to his father's Worthington, Ohio, office and an Ohio post office box. He has solicited donations in bitcoin. He also used a crowdfunding website to raise more than $152,000 in donations to help pay for his legal expenses.
During his deposition, Greg Anglin said he collected the mailed donations from 2013 to December 2017 and usually deposited the funds into a bank account in his son's name. If the money was foreign currency, he would deposit the money in his own account at another bank and then wrote a check for the same amount and deposit it in his son's account.
Greg Anglin also said he borrowed just over $60,000 in readers' donations for a "real estate rehab" project but has paid back that entire amount to his son from a personal account at a third bank.
Obeidallah's attorneys didn't name the banks where Greg Anglin deposited readers' donations, citing the "controversial nature" of his son's site.
Greg Anglin said he knew the money was coming from The Daily Stormer's readers but didn't know how his son used it.
Andrew Anglin used his father's credit card to register the site's domain name because he didn't have his own credit card in 2013. But his father said he didn't know he would be listed as the site's registrant.
"When I realized I was the registrant, we had a very direct conversation where I told him I was very disappointed in him that he allowed that to happen, and that I wanted it removed immediately," he said.
Anglin said he spoke to his son over the phone a few days before his deposition, but he said he didn't know where his son was calling from or where he has been living in recent years.
"He's a private person, and I'm a talkative guy. And so he prefers and I prefer to not know where he is," Greg Anglin said.
Obeidallah, a comedian and Daily Beast columnist, said he received death threats after Andrew Anglin published an article about him in June 2017. His lawsuit says the site embedded fabricated messages in the post to make them seem like they had been sent from Obeidallah's Twitter account, tricking readers into believing he took responsibility for the May 2017 terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.
Andrew Anglin retained lawyers to defend him against a separate lawsuit filed against him by Montana real estate agent Tanya Gersh, who says Anglin orchestrated an anti-Semitic online trolling campaign against her family. Last Wednesday, a federal judge in Montana ruled the First Amendment doesn't shield Anglin from Gersh's claims, allowing the case to proceed.

Dave Lutz of Stifel, Nicolaus has the top topics about which traders are talking about today:
Good Morning! US Futures are under pressure to start the week, with the pressure continuing in Tech shares - S&P is marked down 30bp, while Nasdaq is marked off 70bp. Some crowded HF names are diving into bear-territory, with ZNGA, P, TWTR, NFLX, AMZN and FB all off 20%+ from their peaks. The Tech selloff is global, with Tencent, the largest holding in the SOCL, losing 4.5% in Hong Kong - South Korea's Naver, which owns another Asian messaging app, lost 6.5% - and Chip companies weighted heavy on FTSE. We will see how Biotech acts, with QCOR getting a take-out bid (#23 holding IBB at 1%). Over in Europe, the DAX is marked off 1%, but overseas volumes are light with the FTSE trading 30% below 20day averages, Eurostoxx 15% below and DAX 10% below. Chinese markets were closed for Holiday - but Tech-Heavy Nikkei led the region's declines, losing almost 2%. Much Asian Focus on the BoJ kicking off their 2day meeting as the new Sales tax takes hold. Globally, Tech is under sharp pressure, with Banks and Consumer stocks right behind. Keep an eye on the Dividend names, they seem to be picking up a lot of the flows, and the miners closed green down in Aussie, adding to last week's 3% pop. Early this AM, I'm seeing N, DDD, TSLA, SCTY, FB and GOOD all marked 1% lower - while ZNGA, P, QCOM all marked up 1%+. The 10YY in the USA rests near 1week lows on the 200dma at 2.71%. We are seeing the DXY under pressure, as the € is popping off 6week lows, and the Yen has a slight bid into the BOJ. Despite the tailwind of the falling $, we have most commodities in the red - Platinum and Silver are nearing down 1%, while gold does not seem to be attracting haven flows. Brent is off 1% as Libya nears a deal to re-open ports, and maintenance season collapses demand from EU refiners. Coffee is your best performer, adding 4% as drought concerns weigh on global crop prospects. Scheduled catalysts today include the ECB annual report at 9, a small POMO at 11, Fed's Bullard (centrist) to Speak on Monetary Policy at 11:45, and watch the Credit cards into Consumer Credit data at 3pm. Finally, keep an eye on AA, which kicks off earnings season tomorrow - The expectations for the S&P 500 companies are low. Profits are expected to contract in the first quarter by 1.2%, according to FactSet Research, the first contraction since the third quarter of 2012.

Patients with a little-known cancer want a new treatment funded in this country, so they don't have to fly to Australia for life-saving care.
One New Zealander a day is diagnosed with neuroendocrine cancer - about 300 a year.
It's often hard to diagnose, a process which may take up to five or six years.
The Apple founder, Steve Jobs, died five years ago of a condition related to a neuroendocrine tumour of his pancreas.
The tumours, known as NETs, occur in cells that carry messages from the brain to organs, making them do their job.
An Auckland heart specialist, Malcolm Legget, has NETs.
"These cells can produce various hormones like insulin or gastric acid or other hormones and sometimes they can become malignant and they can produce all sorts of weird and wonderful symptoms like flushing or asthma or abdominal paid."
Tumours were often found in the bowel or the lung, and sometimes could be removed surgically, curing the patient.
Those who are not cured with surgery, and have cancer that has spread, may be referred for specialist Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT), in Melbourne.
But that costs about $50,000 dollars, and cardiologist Mr Legget, who has had the treatment himself, said it needed to be available here.
"A number of New Zealanders are affected by this. Not everyone who gets diagnosed with NET cancer needs this but there are certainly a subset of patients who get a dramatic benefit from this treatment."
Wellingtonian Chris Holmes endured excruciating pain at times, and was told he needed palliative care, before finding out he had the cancer in his tail bone.
"I couldn't do anything but just lie down, you know, it was like really intense cramping. I mean it was pretty severe in the sense I'd have to just grind my way through it."
Mr Holmes used health insurance and the generosity of friends to receive treatment in Melbourne, and viewed himself as lucky.
"The cost of getting there is prohibitive for a lot of people, and the challenges of going there and going alone just make it untenable I suppose for a lot of people."
Another patient, Andrea, 61, has borrowed on her home for her upcoming treatment. "I only hope that the first four treatments are going to work. Anything else after that I don't know what I'll do but at this stage I'm hoping, really hoping, that I only need the four treatments."
Doctors and patients would all like the therapy to be available here, for those who need it.
Auckland medical oncologist Ben Lawrence said 20 to 30 patients a year could benefit, and face a difficult time without it.
But therapy for the tumours fell into a grey area in terms of funding approval, he said.
"Normally medicines that go all around the body ... are considered by [drug buyer] Pharmac, but because this is actually a radioactive substance, or a type of radiation treatment really, but targeted and delivered systemically, there's no mechanism for assessing the value of this type of therapy in the [Health] Ministry at the moment."
Specialists were discussing the situation with the ministry, Dr Lawrence said.
However, the ministry directed RNZ to Pharmac, saying the drug-buyer would consider a funding application but had not received one.
In a statement, the ministry added that Auckland University was leading a nationwide study into the causes of neuroendocrine cancer and planned to establish a national clinical framework for managing the tumours.

BOSTON — Boston Fire Chief Steve Abraira resigned yesterday following growing criticism of how he handled April's Boston Marathon bombings.
In a letter to Mayor Thomas Menino and Fire Commissioner Roderick Fraser, Abraira cited a "vocal and aggressive minority" for consistently resisting his efforts to reform the department since he was appointed – as the first Latino chief – in 2011.
But it was a different letter that sealed Abraira's fate:
On April 26, numerous deputies wrote to Menino and complained that the chief gave up control of the investigation s to federal authorities. In part, this memo read:
"At a time when the City of Boston needed every first responder to take decisive action, Chief Abraira failed to get involved in operational decision-making or show any leadership."
Abraira was later referred to as a "ghost fire chief" at a City Council meeting.
The first chief hired outside the union, Abraira wrote that said Fraser' "selection of me as chief never had the support of a number of members of the department who preferred that the chief be selected from within the ranks of the department itself."
A spokesperson for the fire department responded to Abraira's resignation with a simple statement: "We thank the chief for his service to the people of Boston." (Reuters)

OSLO, Feb 11 – Norwegian telecom operator Telenor posted lower net profits for the fourth quarter and full year 2008 on Wednesday, warning it would feel the full effect of the global economic crisis this year.,
Last year, Telenor saw its net profit slump 26.1 percent to 13.31 billion kroner (1.53 billion euros, 1.98 billion dollars), with its fourth-quarter net profit slashed by more than a third to 2.21 billion kroner.
"The telecom sector has so far been less affected by the global economic slowdown than other industries, however we expect a more challenging business environment going forward," company chief executive Jon Fredrik Baksaas said in the earnings statement.
"As a result, the focus in 2009 will be on cost efficiency and capex (capital expenditure) control," he added.
For 2009, Telenor said it expected sales to be "in line" with its 2008 figure with an EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation) margin of around 34 percent.
Last year, the company\'s EBITDA margin stood at 35 percent while its sales grew year-on-year by 5.1 percent to 97.19 billion kroner in actual numbers. In pro forma terms, sales meanwhile grew 5.7 percent to 111 billion kroner, Telenor said.
The pro forma numbers include results from Ukrainian Kyivstar, which was incorporated into Telenor in the fourth quarter of 2007 and they provide the basis for the Norwegian company\'s 2009 forecasts.
Before taxes, the telecom operator booked a fourth quarter profit of 3.36 billion kroner last year, which was merely half its earnings for the same period in 2007 and far below analyst expectations of 4.4 billion kroner, according to a poll conducted for financial news agency TDN Finans.
Telenor\'s operating results and 2009 forecast however helped boost its share price by 1.16 percent in early afternoon trading Wednesday on the Oslo stock exchange, which was up 0.33 percent.

With Father's Day just around the corner, it's the perfect time to highlight that dads are taking on more parenting duties than ever. One of the most important duties of all – shopping for healthy food to feed their families – is fast becoming one of the more notable trends in the grocery industry.
Recently, Boston Globe shared a Midan Marketing report that found around half of the men surveyed do the majority of their family's grocery shopping, and 58% of that group said they do all of it! Midan Marketing has dubbed these dads "Manfluencers" and published a fun infographic sharing some of their other key findings.
So what does this mean for shopping dads, and for the retailers who want to cater to them? "The big focus for us is on convenient shopping" according to a marketing leader at one major grocery chain, who elaborates that males tend to be especially interested in low-hassle foods. This fits well with the recent evidence that ready-to-eat meals are another major trend shaping the grocery industry. Other experts suggest additional differences in men's shopping habits compared to women, including being more prone to impulse buys and exciting new products.
So, it's easy to see that the value Arctic® apples offer fits perfectly with these key industry trends! Not only will nonbrowning apples make mom's job easier than ever, they'll also help dads get the convenience they seek without the need to sacrifice taste or nutrition!

PUTRAJAYA – January 8, 2018: Students from 10 schools in Selangor have been chosen for a peer-to-peer marginalised students empowerment project.
The students in the 'Ace It Easy' (AIE) pilot project are from SMK Serendah, SMK Kuala Selangor, SMK Kalumpang, SMK La Salle Petaling Jaya, SMK Kota Kemuning, SMK Kampung Soeharto, SMK Bandar Baru Batang Kali, SMK Dato' Haji Kamaruddin, SMK Seri Garing and SMK Assunta.
Deputy Education Minister I Datuk P. Kamalanathan, who launched the four-month project today, said its aim is to inspire problematic students finish schooling by engaging them with their high achieving peers from the Ascendance Team.
Ascendance Team, the inventor of AIE, is an event management company managed by four millennials aged 15 to 21 years old who specialise in conducting awareness-based and motivational programmes for youths.
"Who can relate to the students better than students themselves? The project also touches on the holistic development of a child along intellectual, spiritual, emotional and physical dimensions as reflected in the National Education Philosophy," said Kamalanathan.
The findings of the AIE will be submitted to teachers so that they can plan the best approach to help those selected for the project.
Ascendance Team leader Mathura Kannan, 20, who is an accountancy student of Sunway University, said her team will be going to a different school each week to engage students.
The schools have submitted the dossiers on every participating student.
"We are very much informed about the background of these students and we have also prepared specifically tailored modules to engage them," she said, adding that the number of participating students vary from school to school.
According to her, the AIE will be conducted through the sharing of personal experiences, games and other activities conducted by the young trainers in Ascendance.

I'm so excited to be starting our adoption fundraising. Although I've been working on the dolls to sell for weeks now, I still haven't managed to finish any. I am hoping to spend many hours working on them in the next two weeks, so I will have plenty of them to help raise funds. For now we'll start with the laundry detergent.
I make the laundry detergent with a bar of soap, borax and arm & hammer super washing soap. It is put in reused laundry detergent bottles. The donation price is $2.50 a bottle. If you bring me a laundry detergent bottle (for me to use with a future batch) the donation price is $2.25 a bottle. Please leave a comment here, on fb or e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to purchase some laundry detergent.

In 2017 Jackson Kayak introduced the Mayfly, a kayak designed for the fly fisher. I purchased this boat last year and enjoyed a full season with it. I figured I had enough time on the water to give it a review, so here it is. This boat was built from the ground up as a fly fishing platform. From its rock stable hull design to onboard features designed specifically for the fly fisher, it just may be the perfect fly fishing kayak. Let me take you through a review of all of the wonderful features of this boat.
Let's start out with the hull. This is not just another Jackson kayak hull with a different floor plan. It is an entirely new design. The hull is 12'8" long and 35" wide and weighs 89 pounds empty (no seat). It has a much lower profile than other boats in the Jackson line up, meaning it is not as affected by wind, which is a huge benefit for both fishing and paddling. In regards to paddling performance, the boat tracks well and is very maneuverable. I was pleasantly surprised in regards to how well the boat tracks in a straight line as well as its speed. At 89 pounds it was one of the more substantial boats I looked at, but also had a very generous carrying capacity of 450lbs. Despite this weight, the boat paddled as well as any other fishing kayak I have owned. I have no idea what the draft of the kayak is fully loaded, but it has to be mere inches. I have taken this boat into some ridiculously shallow backwaters and have never had an issue bottoming out. Usually, the first question people ask about this boat is "How stable is it?".
Earth Stable
I once heard the boat described as "earth stable" by someone who reviewed the boat on YouTube (sorry the name escapes me). Earth stable was a pretty bold claim but one that is not far from the truth. The Jackson Mayfly is hands down the most stable kayak that I have had personal experience with. I am a pretty big guy weighing in around 230 lbs, and the thought of standing in a kayak and casting put me into a cold sweat. This was based on the experiences I have had with every other kayak I have owned, and there have been a few. My conception of stability changed the minute I stepped foot into the mayfly. That's right, I said stepped into. To launch my previous kayaks, I had to squirm into the seat and hope things did not go south. Launching was always a touch and go exercise at best. The one time I attempted to step into a floating kayak resulted in me being pitched overboard. What a way to start the day! With the Jackson Mayfly, I can actually step into the boat as it floats along the shore. Step in, get situated, and sit down it's amazing. With the use of the kayak's stand assist strap getting in out of the seat is a breeze even for an overweight, 50 plus-year-old with less than a stellar back. Once standing, the boat's stability is felt immediately. I can cast and move about the hull with no worries. I can even retrieve items from the fore and aft storage compartments while afloat, something I could never do in my old boats without risking a swim. It is so stable I am toying with the idea of replacing the seat with a cooler and using that as an elevated casting platform. To answer the question, "Is it stable?" Hell yes, the most stable kayak I have ever experienced!
One of the things that attracted me to this boat was the well thought out storage features. To start out with, there are two large, latched storage compartments on this kayak. One in the front and one in the back. These compartments have large locking lids that make getting gear in and out a very easy. The front storage compartment has a removable tray that keeps small items at the ready and not lost in the depths of the hull.
There is a large open area behind the seat perfect for crates, a 25-quart cooler, etc. As far as tackle storage goes there is storage in the seat for Plano style boxes and other items, but I'll talk about the seat in detail later. You will even find onboard fly and fly box storage. To secure all your goodies and to add more kayak accessories you will find aluminum accessory tracks throughout the boat. They are everywhere! You will have multiple options for your RAM mount accessories, and the boat is even set up for a standing brace.
What makes this kayak a fly fishing platform?
Let me run down the list of fly fishing specific features on this boat. Let's start out with the floorplan. This kayak has an open cockpit design. It has a flat deck devoid of anything that could snag a fly line. The footpegs found on most kayaks are notorious fly line grabbers. On the Mayfly they have been replaced with a one-piece adjustable foot brace. This brace can be positioned for comfortable paddling for any sized angler. Also, the foot brace has some other attractive features. There is a fly line management system on top of it to keep your fly line under control while paddling which also doubles as a fly patch. Remember those aluminum accessory tracks? They are on the foot brace as well, making it a handy place to mount a fish finder.
Speaking of a fish finder, I store the battery and all that cable for mine underneath that same footrest. Since my unit is made by Ray Marine, the transducer fits into a specially designed scupper hole which is brilliant. It is a beautiful system! Moving rearward from the footrest, you will find two compartments, one on each side of the hull for storing fly boxes or other items like tools. The inside lids of these boxes are lined with foam fly patches as well!
On the floor of the kayak, in front of the seat, you will find a depression for your fly reel. This is the first of several rod holders designed for fly rods. This floor mounted holder is a great spot to keep the rod your actively fishing secure while paddling. There is also a depression in the front of the boat at the grab handle that is designed to take the butt of your fly rod in the event you ever get a tangle at the rod tip. It is a handy place to secure the reel end of the rod while you work on the tip.
Moving past the seat, you will find two molded-in fly rod holders, one on each side of the boat. These innovative rod holders are designed for fly rods. They allow you to store a fly rod in three different positions. Position one is tip forward with the tip protected in an opening in the hull at the front of the boat. Position two would be facing backward up at an angle, and the third position is facing backward lying down flat. The forward facing position will except rods up to 9 feet in length, and you can go as long as you want with the rods facing to the rear. These forward facing storage positions could also be used for storing long items like stakeout poles. Also included is one RAM mount rod holder that you could mount anyway on the boat. At the stern of the kayak is an area designed for a Power Pole Micro Anchor System. This electronic anchoring system makes holding your position in shallow water a breeze by use of a motorized stake out pole. Installing it consists of simply bolting it on. It could not be a simpler installation!
All this means nothing without a comfortable seat!
My biggest complaint about my previous kayak was the seat. It could have been considered a medieval torture device. I have to say that fishing from the Mayfly's two position height adjustable Elite Seat is akin to fishing from my couch. The seat comes standard with a Thermarest Lumbar Pad (that could double as a seat pad or a pillow) and is adjustable to sit upright or recline at any angle you like. In addition, the seat adjusts forward and back to fit differently sized anglers and allow you to trim the boat the way you like. The seat is also removable for shore-based activities. Built into the seat are three bungee secured, storage compartments. Two large, one on each side of the seat, and a smaller one up front. These compartments will accept many different sized Plano style boxes. The seat can be adjusted on the go. Keep it high for fishing and comfortable standing or drop it down for increased stability in treacherous conditions. Also included with the seat was a waterproof storage bag that attaches to the rear of the seat and a Platypus Hydration System. Other accessories included with this boat were a pair of fish grips, a safety flag, and an Orion Tumbler to keep those drinks cold while you're on the water.
There is so much good how about the bad and ugly
Is there a downside to this kayak? I guess you can say there is, and that would be the price. The kayak retails for $1,899.00 once you figure in taxes you looking at two grand before you even begin to rig it the way you want. Fortunately, there is not much the boat needs, but if you are like me, you'll need an anchor system, a fish finder, a new vest, a paddle (because I'm keeping my old boat rigged and ready to fish with a friend) a storage box, etc. At the end of the day, it cost…never mind I just remembered my wife reads this from time to time! To be honest, I thought long and hard before investing that kind of money in a kayak. In the end, I have no regrets! Another downside is the weight, the boat is on the heavy side. Once you rig it with batteries, electronics, anchor systems plus all your gear, it can be a bit of a bear to move around by yourself. But it is a minor tradeoff for all of the comfort and stability the boat provides.
Final Thoughts
In my opinion, Jackson makes some of the best fishing kayaks on the market today. The fit and finish of their boats are superb. That high price tag is a reflection of that quality. The Mayfly is the flagship of the fleet if you are a fly fisherman. There is no other boat on the market today that delivers more features for the fly fisherman!
2018 Model Year Changes
I just learned it looks like there were a few minor changes to the boat in its second year. The Elite Seat has been raised slightly making it a little easier to stand, and it appears that they have added a sliding tackle tray under the seat. This is a feature I would have loved to see on my model, and I will be looking into finding a way to retrofit my boat with one. Other than that it is the same as the original.

This unit took me back to primary school. I thought this unit would be relatively simple, however I had forgotten a lot of the rules and format of parts of speech. The unit was explained clearly and lots of helpful examples were given. I would have appreciated some answers given in the task sheet, as I would have liked to check if I got task two correct. Overall, a good and informative unit.This Unit was about speaking and writing. Both of these aspects are very important when learning a language. What I learned was when to be to promote accuracy and when to promote fluency. I always assumed that I had to push accuracy all the time but now I see that it is important but only when studying. It is also important to let the students just practice so they can become more fluent.

One of my favorite things to do with my girls (yes, even Alana – I don't think you can ever be too young to enjoy books!) is read. Harper is really getting into stories now so she loves that time before bed when we all cozy up together and she gets to ask a million questions, "why he do that though, daddy?" and, "then what happened, mommy?" even after we've finished a book!
I like to buy books for each holiday – Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving etc. – as well as having books that we can read all year round and here you will find my picks for Christmas this year. Christmas is probably the holiday I enjoy most and it is the time of year that I really look forward to so I am super excited for lots of themed story time with my babies, and I hope you enjoy some with yours, too!
All of the books I've featured are linked here – you can just click on each book name!
How The Grinch Stole Christmas: This is such a cute book featuring the Grinch, Cindy-Lou and the Who's of Whoville. It is filled with silly rhymes that kids just love and ends with a thoughtful message. Harper really likes this one, and I find it so fun to read.
Home Alone: Perhaps not classic in the conventional sense but classic to me! Home Alone reminds me of Christmas as a child. I'm pretty sure I watched the movies at least five times every single year, and I still LOOOOVE them today! Home Alone in book form is just as hilarious to me as the movies. What kid (or adult) doesn't enjoy mind-blowing traps involving things like irons swinging from atop the stairs?! A total laugh out loud read (for me at least!).
The Night Before Christmas: Not even kidding, I know this entire book off by heart. It is a poem all about, well, as the name suggests – the night before Christmas. I remember lying in bed saying this poem to myself on Christmas Eve's past when I was too excited to sleep! Now I'm all like, "9pm? goodnight!" but I hope that my girls will love and remember this book someday as much as I do today.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: Okay, so Harper is obsessed with songs and singing so Rudolph is a well-known character around my house but to have a story about him as well as a song is just extra special. Oh, and the illustrations in this book are adorable.
Fun Favorites:
Merry Christmas, Stinky Face: I don't know where Harper got her sense of humor from (cough) but if we're saying "stinky face", it's a winner and that is all. This is a colorful board book and if your kids are young, they'll more than likely love it.
A Bad Kitty Christmas: Another of Harper's loves – somebody being naughty! What is it with children and finding people misbehaving so hilarious?! This bad kitty turns good in the end, though so the final message is a good one for your littles.
Llama Llama Holiday Drama: I adore the Llama Llama books in general. I think they are so perfect for younger children. A wonderful lesson about patience in this one (which I might just need to read about seventy billion more times around here before it actually sinks in!).
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever: Perhaps more suitable for older children but a timeless book, once again featuring those ever elusive (and much loved) naughty children who show us all the true meaning of Christmas.
Sweet Stories:
The Christmas Wish: A dreamy story about the sweetest little girl who wants to be one of Santa's elves. Aside from being beautifully illustrated, this book is full of Christmas magic and wonder. Love it!
Christmas Farm: I'm a bit of a sucker for all things that pull on the heartstrings so this story, all about friendship, is right up there for me. Again, the pictures in this one are gorgeous which is great when your audience don't have the longest of attention spans just yet, like mine!
The Christmas Miracle of Jonathan Toomey: Excuse me while I go cry now! Such a moving and heartwarming tale about a lonely man with a sad secret. Of course there is a Christmas miracle that transforms his life. And oh, the pictures…!
A Wish To Be A Christmas Tree: This story about a sad tree who is never chosen to be a Christmas Tree is super endearing. All about the lengths friends will go to to help you out.
For Babies:
I tend not to buy a ton of books specifically targeted at babies, as in those books with just one word per page, because I feel like they don't get used for very long and a baby can enjoy any kind of book really as long as the pages are colorful. So I like to invest more in books that can be used as baby grows up. Here are two board books I do think are cute, though.
Babies Love Christmas: Lift-A-Flap Board Book: A cute Christmas themed board book that is bright, colorful and has lots of fun flaps for baby to open and play with. What more can I say?!
The Itsy Bitsy Snowman: A Christmas take on the Itsy Bitsy Spider, all about a snowman. Harper loves this one, great for little ones who are into rhymes and singing.

Kristen Bell looked super sunny in a yellow and white lace Valentino dress and Brian Atwood sandals at the premiere of You Again in Los Angeles yesterday. While she wore a dress, one of the ways to make this hue work for your wardrobe is in skirt form. We like the Piped Hem Wool A Line Skirt by Pringle 1815 ($75.83, asos.com) and Kimberly Taylor's Drape Skirt ($196, singer22.com), both of which are shorter versions perfect for work, school, or play. As for footwear? Yellow is tricky, so take a cue from Kristen and pair one of these bright, sunny skirts with some sleek nude flats.

Kiss, kick, kill./
Your audition sides may call for you to kiss, kick or kill.
What is the best question to pose? Is it: How can I show that? Or, is it: How can I use that?
You never have to show the producers that you know what is written in a scene. You won't get cast for doing that. If a tiger appears before you in the scene you don't have to make sure the producers know that you know it's a tiger!
They do want to see you truly fearful.
What will assist your acting is finding out what happens to you before, during, and after the kiss, kick or kill. How does it change your breathing? How you feel?
Don't give up the opportunity to play those moments because they seem difficult to do.
For a kiss you can close your eyes, you can move your mouth, you can put your arms around yourself – anything; if you like it and believe it. You're not doing any of that to indicate anything. Or, you can do nothing and just live truthfully through it. Breathe through it.
Point is to mark the moment for your playing.
Ask those good questions: Is it the first kiss, the last one, the kiss of death, kissing a baby, kissing a loved one good-bye, a mother's kiss etc.?
These activities do not have to be mimed. Get rid of that idea right away.
Holding a gun. No one will notice if you're just pointing your finger as the gun. How you mark it does not matter as long as you are in the scene.
Do it – point your finger. Hold your hand up to your ear as a phone.
All good.
You will not look stupid. They will be watching you – your eyes, face, body – hearing your voice connected - and the gun-hand will be peripheral.
If they are looking at your hand – well…
Rather than these iconic activities in audition scenes being a burden learn to make them serve you.


text: ... can one man have? In my case, two. Well, three if you count Upload. This one is a home for random amusing and/or interesting things that I've found or have been sent to me. It's also a chronicle for my attempt to read 26 books this year. It's not the most astounding achievement I know, but since I don't get all that much time for reading, one book every fortnight is plenty to be going on with.

I woke up this morning surrounded by love. I had my darling husband by my side, my baby boy on my chest and our squirly tenacious four year old son climbing on top of me. And they were all telling me "Happy Birthday"...okay, so maybe the baby didn't say it...but he smiled at me. That counts.
Yes, today IS my birthday. I know it might be shocking to some...but I'm 31 today. That always gets quite the reaction from people who've just met me. In college last year, I could silence a room...and then it would get filled with a lot of "shut up!" "Seriously?" "Prove it!" All of which just made my day! LOL! It really is true...when we are younger we can't wait to look older...but when we are older, we are thankful for looking younger! (giggle)
My second birthday present was opening the blinds to see SIX INCHES of fluffy white beautiful snow! There is something sun about playing in snow like that. I went to the mailbox and was just wishing we had a sled. I love sledding!
The bad thing about all the snow is that I can't go anywhere...and I've got gift cards galore to spend! But, I'm going to be good...and wait until the holidays are over and then hit some after Christmas sales to maximize my buying power--and to avoid all the last minute shoppers!
And the best thing about my birthday is that I get to do whatever I want! Can't go anywhere so I get to spend my day crafting and cooking! I do believe those are two of my most favorite things to do...with some reading in there. Nothing like eating a hot fresh cookie with a glass of milk...while reading a good book and watching the snow fall. Delightful!
Oh and before I forget...I'm putting together some goodies for some candy I will be offering soon. I didn't get it together in time for a Birthday Candy...so it will just be sort of a New Year candy...so keep checking back! I'll have it up and ready to go by the end of the month!
So now I am going to get off of here and go craft! That means I should have some projects to share very very soon...

- Direct Observation of One-dimensional Charge Order in Yb4As3
Metal-insulator (MI) transitions have recently attracted renewed interest due, in particular, to their relevance for superconductivity and colossal magnetoresistance. The metal-insulator transition is often related to charge, orbital and/or magnetic order. Yb4As3 is an exotic material, with an incomplete metal-insulator transition, which has been proposed to be driven by a 1-dimensional charge order. At room temperature, Yb4As3 is a cubic metal. Assuming a charge of 3 for As, each Yb has an average non-integral valence of +2.25. At TMI ~ 290 K, there occurs a first-order structural phase transition from cubic to rhombohedral symmetry, associated with the metal-insulator transition. To quantitatively study the proposed 1-dimensional charge order, we have performed resonant X-ray diffraction at ID11 on a tiny crystal (40 x 40 x 40 µm3). A small crystal has the advantage that it is less likely to be destroyed when cooling through the transition.
The equally spaced Yb ions located along the body diagonal can be viewed as forming a chain labelled A, and the remaining Yb ions are labelled B. The experiments have focused on reflections for which the structure factor is proportional to (fA-fB). The difference in the scattering factor f of Yb2+ and Yb3+ far away from resonance is very small. However, in the vicinity of the Yb L3 resonances, which are split by 7 eV, the individual scattering factors are very different. Therefore, the diffracted intensity is strongly enhanced (Figure 97), giving direct evidence of the 1-dimensional charge order.
Fig. 97: Energy dependence of the real (f'; top), and the imaginary (f''; center) parts of the scattering factors of Yb2+ and Yb3+, and of the 30 reflection, together with a fit to the latter in the vicinity of the Yb L3-absorption edges in Yb4As3.
To reliably describe the energy dependence of these reflections, knowledge of the real and imaginary parts of the scattering factors is required. This we obtained from X-ray absorption data and the Kramers-Kronig transformation. The calculated energy-dependent intensity compares well with the experiment and is a direct indication of the 1-dimensional charge order in Yb4As3. The proportionality of the resonant diffracted intensity to (fA-fB)2 allows a quantitative determination of the temperature-dependent valences (Figure 98).
Fig. 98: Temperature dependence of the site-selective Yb valence/hole concentration from resonant diffraction (open/closed circles), from the model [1] (broken curve) and from the structure (dotted curve).
Our results have direct implications on the model, which describes the electronically driven metal-insulator transition in terms of a band Jahn-Teller effect of correlated electrons [1]. The Yb valence of site A decreases much less with increasing temperature than predicted by the model. The Yb valence can also be estimated from the length of the body-diagonal of the distorted cube. Surprisingly, the temperature dependence of the valence determined in this way is distinctly weaker than that of the hole concentration on the chain. This may be due to the strong Coulomb repulsion between ordered holes, to an electronic contribution to the lattice expansion or to different fluctuation time scales of the charge and the lattice distortions.
In conclusion, resonant X-ray scattering experiments on Yb4As3 directly confirm the existence of the 1-dimensional charge order of holes on the Yb sites below TMI. In addition, a temperature-dependent hole ordering is obtained which, surprisingly, does not follow the structural distortion.

What players had the best bargain contracts in the NHL in the summer of 2008? This list was compiled in 2017 based on their performance during the 2007/08 season. Free agents signed that summer are eligible for next year's list, so everyone nominated here has played at least 1 full season under the contract.These are only contracts signed under the restrictions of a salary cap. Contracts from before the lost season that got rolled back don't count.
We are looking for the best bargains, preferably under 10% of the cap (which in 2008 is $50.3M, so under $5M Average Annual Value). This is not about listing the 15 best players in the game and then saying those are the 15 best contracts. It's the 15 best bargains. Entry level contracts don't count, since they all come from a cookie cutter and require no specific bargaining skill. There is a preference for contracts with more than 1 year remaining, except in the case of extreme bargains.
1) Henrik Zetterberg, DET, 1 more yr @ $2.65M AAV: Stanley Cup Champion and playoff MVP has another year at a price that is nothing short of larceny. In the regular season he scored 92 PTS in 75 GP. He was also nominated for the Selke Trophy with a 64% Corsi For.
2) Derek Roy, BUF, 5 more yrs @ $4M AAV: He scored 81 PTS as a 24-year-old in the first year of a 6-year deal. This was one of the better bargains this season, but still not even close to the best bargain.
3) The Sedin Twins, VAN, 1 more yr @ $3.6M AAV x2: Sure, they fell from 165 PTS to 150 PTS, but it is still a great price for what these two great BROTHERS can do. I prefer to count them as one person, or one entity.
4) Zach Parise, NJ, 3 more yrs @ $3.1M AAV: The kid just keeps getting better every season. This is a home run for Lou, getting a 24-year-old and star player locked in at a great price through his prime years of production.
5) Eric Staal, CAR, 1 more yr @ $4.5M AAV: That's a great price to pay for 38 goals and 82 PTS. The Hurricanes captain will get a big pay raise when this is over.
6) Tim Thomas, BOS, 1 more yr @ $1.1M AAV: 28 wins and a .921 SV% generally costs north of $4M. He may be 34 years old, but that is still a bargain.
7) Brenden Morrow, DAL, 5 more yrs @ $4.1M AAV: He scored 74 PTS in year one of this contract at age 28. That's a great price to pay for your team captain. There may be some age-related decline later in the contract, but for now it's a steal.
8) Johan Franzen, DET, 1 more yr @ $942K AAV: The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup with Franzen contributing 13 goals in the playoffs. You need bargains like this to win championships in the salary cap era.
9) Duncan Keith, CHI, 2 more yrs @ $1.5M AAV: People are starting to notice that Duncan Keith is a really good defenseman. He scored 12 goals and was +30 on a Chicago team that missed the playoffs.
10) Tomas Plekanec, MTL, 1 more yr @ $1.6M AAV: From 2006-08 the average salary of a 29-goal scorer (or within 3 goals) on a non-entry level post-salary cap contract was $3.3M. The Habs got a 29-goal scorer at half price.
11) Niklas Backstrom, MIN, 1 more yr @ $3.1M AAV: Backstrom finished 6th in Norris Trophy voting with 33 Wins, 13 Losses, .920 SV%, and 2.31 GAA. And of those 6 top Vezina vote getters, Backstrom was the cheapest.
12) Nathan Horton, FLA, 5 more yrs @ $4M AAV: In year one of this contract at age 22 he out up another 62-point season. Getting a young power forward locked into a contract like this with production like that, is really good.
13) Sergei Gonchar, PIT, 2 more yrs @ $5M AAV: Gonchar may be getting old at age 33, but he still scored 65 PTS from the blueline finishing 4th in Norris Trophy voting. Helped Pittsburgh get to the Stanley Cup finals.
14) Marc Savard, BOS, 2 more yrs @ $5M AAV: Savard did drop from 96 PTS in year one down to 78 PTS in year two at age 30. Yet he's still one of the most dynamic offensive talents in the NHL.
15) Ales Hemsky, EDM, 4 more yrs @ $4.1M AAV: At age 24 Hemsky put up another 70+ point season. He's a talented player on a terrible team.

Obituary of Judy Mae Brosky
Judy Mae Brosky
November 1, 1941 ~ July 23, 2017
"... but the greatest of these is love."
I Corinthians 13:13
Judy M. Brosky of Bruceton Mills has gone to enter the loving embrace of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Judy was joyful, talented, and always generous with her time and love. She touched the lives of so many young people that still remember her loving care, prayers, infectious laugh, "toothless" kisses, and silly songs. She raised five active, involved children, but she always had room for more. Her home was always overflowing with neighborhood children and youth group teenagers. Everyone was welcome and she had a generous "help-yourself" policy. Judy was a co-leader of the Good Shepherd United Methodist youth fellowship for many years. She was an extremely talented seamstress, as well as a "crafter" and musician. She was a singer in the Stained Glass Bluegrass Gospel Group, taught 4-H, started the Charles County Homemakers Club, and worked as a certified Dental Assistant for many years. Judy had a servant's heart for the communities that she was a part of and was a godly manifestation of the phrase, "Bloom where you are planted." Judy had a passionate, talent for Handwriting Analysis through which she connected to people of all ages and is fondly remembered by so many. She enjoyed her extended family, the reunions, Kingwood High School reunions, North Preston Senior Center, and Little Sandy Church of the Nazarene friends.
Judy is survived by her loving husband Paul Brosky (of 57 years), their 5 children, spouses and 13 grandchildren who called her "Meme;" her sister, Shirley Emery, and step brother Maurice "Sonny" Van Meter. She was preceded in death by her parents Robert "Pete" and Goldie Cramer, her sister Leona, brothers Robert "Bobby," Dale, Fred Cramer and stepfather Maurice Van Meter. God has sustained Judy's life these last 15 years largely due to the devoted care of her husband and kidney dialysis treatment .
A celebration of her life will be held at Little Sandy Church of the Nazarene on Saturday, July 29th, 2017 at 3:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers the family requests that you make a donation to the Little Sandy Church of the Nazarene, 3767 Little Sandy Road, Bruceton Mills, WV 26525.

Practically anyone can be a good taster! Here are a few tips to get the most out of the experience of tasting wine:
– Make sure you use a good wine glass for tasting – a shape a bit like a tulip is ideal, curving in towards the rim. This will help concentrate the aromas.
– Ensure the wine is at a reasonable temperature before tasting i.e. the whites are not too cold and the reds not too warm, otherwise you can lose the aromatic definition and structure. For whites, cool rather than cold and for reds slightly cool (cellar temperature) is often better than slightly warm!
When you are tasting wine, don't be afraid to use a spittoon. If you are at a vineyard and intend to taste lots of wines, the winemakers will probably expect you to spit rather than swallow.
Tasting technique
We can judge a wine based on the following three things:
Appearance: How the wine looks. Is it bright? How deep or pale is the colour? Any fading to the rim?
Nose: How does the wine smell? Is the wine clean (i.e. fault free)? Can you pick out certain aromas? What do they mean?
Palate: How does the wine taste in the mouth? What flavours and textures can you taste? What do they mean?
When tasting wine, take a quantity of wine into your mouth. A tablespoon full is ideal. Run the wine round your mouth, almost crunching or chewing it, ensuring that all your taste buds get a chance work on it!
Whilst doing this, try and draw in air through your mouth. This helps to release more flavours and aromas whilst the wine is in your mouth.
After spitting or swallowing, think about the length of time the flavours remain in your mouth. The longer the flavours prevail, the better the quality is.
To judge how good the wine is try to think about three key things – the concentration (the depth of fruit flavour), the balance (of acid, tannin, fruit and oak, if used) and the length (how long you can taste the wine after swallowing).
Finally, don't hesitate to give the wine a score – out of 5, 20 or 100, whatever you prefer. This will help you assess the quality when you glance back at your notes.
Storing your wine
A cellar under the ground is ideal, but not everyone has access to such facilities. Try to find a spot which has a reasonably consistent temperature. The ideal would be between 10-15 degrees. It is important that wild fluctuations in temperature are avoided. Below -4 degrees and above 30 degrees could result in the cork pushing out of the bottle, fatally allowing air into the wine. A wine maturing at lowish temperatures will result in slow (but interesting) evolution. A wine stored at higher temperatures will result in faster maturation and perhaps less interesting aromas and flavours.
Your cellar should also be dark, as wine can be damaged by light, and vibration free. A little humidity is is good as this will help prevent the corks from drying out.

Back in the timeless studio
It's the kind of thing that makes you curse Partition. It is also the thing that makes you love the internet even more. In its seventh season, Coke Studio is back. And all is suddenly well with the world again. Writes Aarish Chhabra.chandigarh Updated: Sep 21, 2014 09:47 IST
It's the kind of thing that makes you curse Partition. It is also the thing that makes you love the internet even more. In its seventh season, Coke Studio is back. And all is suddenly well with the world again.
First things first, those who haven't heard of Coke Studio — the Made in Pakistan version, not the wannabe copy on Indian MTV — must stop reading this immediately and shift attention to YouTube. Not for nothing have all other, pressing issues taken a backseat in this column this week.
The season opens with Abida Parveen, and you immediately know the classic flavour of the timeless show is back. From her 'Main Sufi Hoon' in collaboration with Ustad Raees Khan, to Niazi Brothers' charming rendition of 'Laai Beqadraan Naal Yaari', to the surprise package, Asrar's 'Sab Akho Ali Ali', the first episode seems to have all the ingredients that Coke Studio is known for. Even Pakistani pop's peppy star Sajjad Ali, whose 'Kirkir Kirkir' a few seasons ago stands out as the happiest number to have emerged from the Studio stable, does something magical in 'Tum Naaraaz Ho'.
Strings, the band known for its unhurried compositions on this side of the border too, has taken over from Rohail Hyatt, the producer of the first six seasons, and seems to have set the right tone. This is just the beginning.
But, for all its playfulness and mix of sounds, don't call the show unique. I fail to understand what is unique in an enterprise that is essentially Sufi in spirit. If you have forgotten how it feels to forget yourself for a while, even for those 10 minutes when Abida Parveen soars, the music might sound unique. But calling it unique is somehow an insult to what is actually the truest form of music, a music that is generic to our existence, a genre genuine to the core, a sound that if found in all compositions, soothes your ears, stirs your soul, and also heals your heart, if you allow it to. You do not have to die for nirvana.
The show has a glorious past. The legendary Abida, as a matter of habit, loves to leave you one part dissatisfied so that you want more, faster, louder; and then want some more. It is frustrating, in a good way. An Arif Lohar can pluck out 'Jugni' from his father's repertoire and make it sound as rustic as ever. Meesha Shafi is a heavenly vision anyway, but even more fiercely lovable when you hear her sing Reshma's 'Chori Chori' in raspy Punjabi.
Forgive and forget the occasional Atif Aslam, please.
Where else will you find Rahat Fateh Ali Khan lend his brilliance to Ali Azmat's over-the-top 'Garaj Baras'? Rahat lifts the song to a new high, so much more than the version featured in that Indian movie 'Paap'. But Rizwan and Muazzam, with 'Naina de Aakhey', make you wonder why all the hoopla only about Rahat when Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan has these other nephews too, who sound more like Nusrat himself.
There is, of course, some soulful sorrow. Tina Sani's rendition of Faiz's poetry in 'Mori Araj Suno' is one such classic. If you close your eyes and hear closely enough, you'd be overwhelmed by the sheer range of the verse and Tina's voice, and be inspired to seek freedom from whatever shackles you find yourself in. In the mix is Sanam Marvi, that village belle you would do anything to marry, even if she perhaps can't speak English amongst your friends or act all fancy. That kind of thing will not matter when she sings 'Pritam Mat Pardes Padharo'.
Life lessons in classic Sufi verses are aplenty. Right at the beginning of 'Aik Alif', dervish Saieen Zahoor urges you to look within, employing Bulleh Shah's words. In this matchless fusion that makes your heartbeat rise and ebb dangerously, the young band Noori — high-pitched Ali Noor and his sexy-baritone brother Ali Hamza — seem to be singing in reverence, as much to God as to Saieen Zahoor.
There is a political statement in the very existence of a show like Coke Studio in Pakistan, where fanaticism is a constant threat. It is as brave as it is beautiful, as rousing as it is calming, perhaps personified by Zeb and Haniya — the two-girl rock band known for singing Farsi and Pashto songs — whose understated power blows you away, quietly. And when Lohar unleashes the power of 'Mirza', the world suddenly melts away, borders are rendered irrelevant, and everything else can very well just go to sweet hell.

Stay on this page and see why this model is a perfect choice for you if you are looking for a good-looking crossover with a lot of great systems and good engine capabilities.
2018 Cadillac XT3 – Elegance Body:
The design language of this model will be very similar to the Escalade and the SRX models. Of course, it is not exactly the same. This model will have more compact shape than two mentioned models and we can definitely see the addition of some style. Thanks to that fact, this model will be also popular among the younger population. Now we can talk about the front fascia of this mode. Here we can notice very elegant front grille that will have some kind of V shape. At the center of this grille, we can see Cadillac logo and the grille will also contain some chrome details. Under this elegantly designed grille we can see a bit improved front bumper. It will be more muscular and it will be fitted with the large air intakes as well as with the LED powered fog lights.
The headlights are very large and supported by LED technology. Also, the rest of the lighting will use LED system. At the sides, this model will ride on large aluminum wheels.
Interior Design:
However, the interior design of the recently developed 2018 Cadillac XT3 will be very luxurious and elegant. The comfort inside the cabin will be on the high level. All seats in the cabin will be wrapped in the high-quality leather. The center console of this model will be V-shaped. Also, we can expect CUE infotainment system that will be updated. Some of the available standard interior features will include leather upholstery for all seats, some leather on the door trim, wooden material on the dashboard, adaptive cruise control, steering wheels with a lot of functions, modern air condition, a lot of connectivity options, a lot of safety features and many others as well.
2018 Cadillac XT3 – Turbocharged Engine:
The newly Cadillac XT3 will be powered by a turbocharged 2-liter four-banger engine that will be capable of generating up to 220 hp and 250 pound-feet of torque. This engine will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission system and the power will be routed to rear wheels. All-wheel drive type will be optional. We can also expect 10-speed automatic transmission system as an option. Information about the EPA rates is not available. 2018 Cadillac XT3 – MSRP and Release date
2018 Cadillac XT3 – Date of Arrival, MSRP, and Rivals:
As we wrote in the introduction, the release date of the 2018 Cadillac XT3 will be by the end of next year. When we talk about the prices, this model will have a starting manufacturer's suggested retail price of around $35,000. The main rivals will be BMW X3, Audi Q3, and Mazda CX-5.

Real Estate Agent Branding – Rocket Science?
Let's get straight to the point with this topic. It's not rocket science, but it can feel that way. You're a real estate agent. You work under a large company – maybe it's a franchise – who gives you a lot of support under their own brand. So, you're automatically branded as an agent with a corporate identity. But, is that enough?
Of course, clients are now more inclined to use you because you are backed by a great support system and a name that's been around for years. But, what makes you, as their agent, different and most importantly, what makes you valuable to your clients? What sets you apart?
This is your brand, and if you can't answer that last question, then maybe you need to step back, and take some time to establish who you are and why clients would choose you from your competitor. Telling your clients and potential clients what makes you different is absolutely necessary. After all, there are over 6,500 real estate agents in Western Pennsylvania alone. That's a pretty saturated market.
So, what sets you apart? Is it that you've been in the industry for 20 years, you have an established name for yourself in the region and have the connections to make fast sales? Or, is it that you are new, young and hip in the industry and are privy to the latest technology to help the first-time home buyers? There is no wrong answer – that's the beauty of branding.
Branding yourself as an agent simply means that you are pulling out your strengths and telling your customers a compelling story in order to get your target audience to do something – to contact you. In order to tell your story, the delicate balance of what platforms to use to tell your unique story and when to do so is formula that any branding scientists can create.
How? It's not rocket science, but it can be a daunting task. It just takes time and motivation. And, a tidbit of creativity. We can help.
A tidbit of creativity goes a long way. Especially with your real estate brand!

Smart Talent Management
Building Knowledge Assets for Competitive Advantage
Edited by Vlad Vaiman and Charles M. Vance
Chapter 3: Talent Staffing Systems for Effective Knowledge Management
Mark L. Lengnick-Hall and Leticia Andrade
3. Talent staffing systems for effective knowledge management Mark L. Lengnick-Hall and Leticia S. Andrade While it may sound like a new idea, management and staffing systems designed to utilize knowledge in organizations can be traced back to antiquity. Neilson (2001: 35) describes how knowledge management and human resource management (HRM) were (probably) combined to build the pyramids in Egypt: Referring to his papyrus blueprints and sand table model, the chief architect begins: 'we are going to build a pyramid that is 756 feet square in plane and 481 feet high. The angle of inclination of the triangular faces will be 51.5 degrees. The base will cover about 13 acres and I estimate this pyramid will consist of 2,300,000 dressed stones averaging 2.5 tons each.' After much trial and error trying to pull 2.5-ton blocks of sandstone over the desert sands, you learn that putting logs underneath the stone blocks and using ramps saves on the back muscles. This knowledge is passed on to other work crews. As crew members are transferred to other jobs or recruited to fight in the Pharaoh's army, this 'know-how' becomes a generally accepted practice in the pyramid and military construction business. After several decades of hard work, you and your compatriots finish construction ahead of schedule and below cost estimates. Few people would disagree that knowledge is becoming an increasingly important factor in firm success (Grant, 1996; Liebeskind, 1996; Teece, 1998; McFadyen & Cannella, 2004). As illustrated in the example...
