The hot spell over Easter meant that I didn't want to spend time inside for once. Off to Ashdown Forest and Thursley Common on a few different days, just for a walk around to see what was there. Without much effort, we saw plenty of amazing things. Those less interested might turn their noses up, but seeing grass snakes, various lizards and cuckoos was enjoyable. And it cost nothing.Read More
It's all very well saying, 'Yeah – I've been too busy to do an update because I've been going out everywhere', but without any proof that sounds like a stinking lie. In place of some lengthy and useful content, here are a couple of snapshots from the past two or so weeks.
First up, was an evening with Nike, Size? and Dave White, over at the Air Gallery, Dover Street on December 2nd called '10 Years of Obsession'. I had lent my Air Flows and 180s to the show, so I managed to sneak onto the guest list courtesy of Phoebe Lovatt (thanks Phoebe!). It was nice to catch up with a few people I hadn't seen in a while – Mubi, Magdi at We Are HQ, Fats and Dave White himself – and the chopping-up-and-handing-out of Dave's artwork at the end of the night was pretty cool. Snow had made everything in the UK grind to a halt, but we somehow managed to get there and back without too much trouble thanks to the winning combination of trains, Tubes, buses and trams.
Next up was the launch night for the beta version of the Sneakerpedia website. A very swish evening over at the Queen of Hoxton was complimented by the sounds of Bobbito and Clark Kent. Lots of nice drinks and smart agency types running around with laptops made for a pretty unique evening. Wearing a damp sweatshirt was my bad move of the evening – I was frozen solid. Lesson: always check that the tumble dryer has finished its cycle before stepping outside.
It's always nice to catch up with my friend Matt – that's DJ Format to you and me – so a quick trip down to the coast to snap a few shots for a forthcoming interview on Diggers With Gratitude was a good way to spend a day. The new single 'Mr. DJ/Dope Pusher' featuring good friend and top-class MC Sureshot La Rock is out on the 31st January: an early contender for the release of 2011. Watch this space.
And, finally for now, I went with my friend Errol up to the wintery wastelands of Bedford to help/hinder the shooting of my buddy C-Law's massive and unique hoard of sneaks. With a house full of excited kiddies, the day was hectic and good fun. I came back armed with a bag full of one-off samples as well: cheers Mr. Law.
That'll do for now!Read More
Over the years, I've been lucky enough to stay in a few of the world's nicest hotels. Personal blogs are allowed to be self-indulgent, so I might as well list a few of them here: the Park Hyatt (in Tokyo, as seen in 'Lost In Translation'), the Blue (Sydney), Sails In The Desert (Ayers Rock), The Paramount, Hudson and Four Seasons (Manhattan, New York), The Sanderson and St. Martins Lane (London), The Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons (San Francisco), The Kempinski (Bulgaria), The Westin (Zagreb)… I'd have never experienced most of those if it wasn't through my work – pre-recession, when adidas flew you around the world for work, you used to travel strictly First Class throughout – and, much to the frustration of my credit card, it's raised my standards accordingly.
When it comes to hotels closer to home, there haven't been that many that have really stood out. Aside from the overpriced luxury hotels of London, there aren't many that I'd book myself into just to relax (but I recommend The Hoxton at Old Street if you want true value for money in the centre of town).
I discovered the Aviator in Farnborough a couple of years ago. Technically, it's not in London at all (it's just south of Junction 12 of the M25, to be precise), but it's definitely worth the trip. Built in the grounds of Farnborough Airport, the architecture is amazing. Art Deco details are contained within a modern and slick shell and if you book an airside room, you can watch the aircraft take off and land on the runway (and the soundproofing is incredible, so you're never disturbed if that doesn't appeal to you). It could read as a gimmick, but the reality is that it's the crowning touch on a hotel that already passes expectations. The rooms are big and spacious, with great bathrooms (I love a bathtub that I can stretch right out in) and the AV set-up is perfect. Free films on-demand, including several brand new releases, and a Bose speaker system mean that you can spend hours doing what you'd be doing at home, but in more comfortable surroundings.
Facility-wise, there's a first-class bar featuring a menu of well-considered cocktails, a fantastic restaurant (worth the visit in its own right), friendly and efficient staff… the list could go on forever. And you can book a suite here for half the price of a standard room in the West End. We stayed for two nights this weekend and will be returning (for the fifth time) before Christmas for another sneaky weekend away.
Do yourself a big favour and book yourself in. The Aviator is a destination in its own right rather than a stop-off on your way to foreign lands. www.aviatorfarnborough.co.ukRead More

For someone who uses Twitter as much as Donald Trump, he certainly seems to be ignorant of the dangers of the platform, including that of violent people masquerading as legitimate on the site and looking for validation. Of course, much of his ignorance seems to be willful.
On Saturday, Trump retweeted a reply to one of his tweets from the "@magapill" Twitter account, corresponding to a site that claims to list out all of President Trump's accomplishments.
Captioning his retweet of a post containing a link to the site, Trump wrote:
'Wow, even I didn't realize we did so much. Wish the Fake News would report! Thank you.'
The site itself is unsurprisingly blatantly biased in its presentation of Donald Trump's supposed accomplishments, including items such as Trump's firing of James Comey that only Trump's most devoted followers would consider an "accomplishment."
As for the site's Twitter account, going not very far back at all reveals it to be an unsurprising purveyor of nonsense conspiracy theories.
Within the last couple of weeks, the account posted a flow chart claiming to depict the "swamp." (Trump came into office promising to "drain the swamp.")
The chart contains ludicrous claims, such as that government interests carry out "false flag" terrorist attacks and that the "funders" of a vast global conspiracy to control the population carry out rituals like child sacrifice.
Check it out below.
And this is the kind of voice that Trump wants to give a national platform through his Twitter account?

Way before Melania Trump was the First Lady of the United States, way before she was a fascinatingly bizarre Twitter user, she was but a young model trying to make it big in her homeland of Slovenia. And the small Central European state has since honored her with a branded line of wine and processed meats.
Per wine publication Decanter, the Sevnica Castle in Slovenia is now producing a line of "First Lady" wines. The initial run of 300 bottles — which retail at €27.90 ($29.96), or twice the price of similar wines — reportedly sold out in three days, but they have 2,000 more ready to go. "Other products in the First Lady collection include salami made from a rare breed of local pig (Krškopoljc), chocolates, and beauty creams," Decanter reports.
Melania reportedly hired a Slovenian law firm to stop locals from capitalizing on her name and image back in November, but that hasn't stopped this line from going foward.
As for how the wine actually tastes, winemaker Lojze Kerin explained, "It's not a strong a wine, it's gentle like Melania."
But how does it pair with Trump steaks?

PokerStars have changed their logo to create a more consistent appearance across all of their brand names, but in the current climate, will it make much of difference to their customers?
PokerStars has changed their logo.
Phasing in of the new logo (seen below) began January 1. The old one will be annihilated completely by the end of March. The decision to make the change comes because PokerStars are no longer an online poker company. They are an online gambling company.
The new style brand will allow them to have consistency across all platforms such as PokerStars, BetStars and StarsDraft. It makes sense. Each new business will look great with the same logo design. But in the grand scheme of things, taking into account their current dispute with their customers, it reminds me of a piece of writing on branding I read from the amazing Bernadette Jiwa.
The book is called Marketing: A Love Story: How to Matter to Your Customers. The chapter this change reminds me of is called Thinking About Your Assets.
Jiwa asks companies to grab a blank sheet of paper and draw a line down the middle. On one side, you are to write down all of your tangible assets, and intangible assets on the other.
The next stage of the task is to cross out all of the things that your competitors could easily replicate or acquire on both sides of the list.
When Jiwa did this exercise for an example company. Her list looked like this:
Tangible Assets
Cash Balances
Product Lines
Intangible Assets
Brand name
Customer database
Customer Loyalty
She then asks a simple question.
An important question.
The only question.
What are you left with?
Do PokerStars customers care about a logo? Or do they care about playing on a site that has an excellent reputation for building products and services that their customer want, a brand that they can trust, and one that they believe is loyal to their needs?
PokerStars should be channeling all of these things into the assets not crossed off that list.
To hire people like Jiwa.
The new logo is currently being used in the Cristiano Ronaldo Edition $1 Million Spin & Gos. Players can win a million bucks for as little as $0.50. They can also win a host of non-cash prizes such as Monster headphones, TAG watches and a wide variety of supercars that will cost upwards of $450,000.

First Impressions – MERCS/
Yesterday I had the opportunity to try out MERCS, a tabletop miniature game. The system uses a D10 and an interesting card based movement gimmick. Being a skirmish style game you only have 5 models per side, at the moment each faction only has 6 and there are no point values associated with the models you just pick 5.
At the beginning of each turn you roll for initiative for each model on your side and then the highest score goes first and moves down the chain. In the event of a tie you reference a stat on the models card. Each model can chose to perform one action from a list on the quick reference card. For the most part this is either move or shoot. There are some special actions also available that add more depth to the game. Your movement number is the number of cards you can move. This is where the gimmick kicks in, each model has a stat card that has notches cut out of it. To move you place the card with the model in a notch and than move the model to another notch. Kinda cool but on a cluttered terrain heavy table it gets pretty awkward to accurately measure.
Cover is determined by levels, if you can't be seen you get a +3 to your evasivness and if you're partially obscured or snapped to cover your get a +1. Out in the open you get a negative.
When a model is shot if the strength equals or exceeds the armor value than the model suffers a wound (or more than one depending on the weapon) If you hit and don't exceed the armor value than the model has to test and see if their armor locks up. Which cause them to lose abilities and have negative modifiers.
During the demo I used the KemVar faction against the USCR. Just getting familiar with the rules the game seemed really imbalanced. The KemVar have special armor that always has them in cover, and if they're obscured or snapped to cover then they have full cover. Which meant the USCR player was unable to hit the models because even with modifiers it would require him to roll a 10 or higher. So his slow ponderous faction was plinked away by the speedier faction that he couldn't hit.
It seemed odd because if you can get the right modifiers you can auto-hit or auto-fail with no random chance or rolling a natural 10 equaling success or a natural 1 equaling failure. I suppose it could create a more tactical game but it seemed counter-intutitive to the way most games function.
The other oddity was the way the template system works. Having to roll against everything you hit (without some type of positive this is a friggin' template modifier) seemed odd as well. The USCR player unloaded his big template on my assassin and still need a 10 to hit him. Even with 3 dice he didn't come close and was charged, locked down and killed over the next two turns.
Of course one game is not enough to pass judgement, and I imagine there are more tactics and depth than what can be presented in a demo game, but based on the interactions we had during the game it seems like there may be some serious balance issues, further play is needed to make that determination.
I like the idea behind the game, the miniatures are great and as something to just pick up two factions or so I'd recommend it. It for nothing else than as a novelty to play once in a while. I don't know much about the company or their future plans but based on the current releases it seems to be a buy everything and you don't need anything else kind of game. Until I've seen and tried more games I'm gonna stay on the fence with this one.

Thank you for this wonderful instructable. I was able to make one of these in about 25 minutes, but the finishing took days of wiping on polyurethane and sanding between coats. I used my miter saw set to the required heights to reduce the dowel to fit into the plumbing fittings. A lathe or end mill would have made it even better. It turned out really good and I was able to use it on our trip to Arches, Bryce, Zion, Grand Tetons and Yellowstone this past summer.

I know that you are sponsored by Trimaco, and some of their products are amazing, but the zipper door is very hard to open when your hands are full. I suggest the magnetic door from Fast Cap and a HEPA filter on the shop vacuum. Also, when removing ceramic tile and thinset, employ a company that has a dustless HEPA system. My current project had 1700 sf of tile removed and we estimated 1700 lbs of dust was contained in the vacuum bags that otherwise would have been lofted into the air and settled in every nook and crannie of the house. The owners couldn't thank me enough.

New Material Could Revolutionise Solar
At Smart, we've got our feet firmly planted in the here and now, but we've always got our eye on cool, future trends and technologies. This one caught our attention... a new material that some scientists think will revolutionise the solar industry:
IMAGINE being able to paint solar cells on the walls of your house, or spray your electric-powered car with a finish that harnesses solar power.
A world in which liquid solar cells can be sprayed onto various surfaces — that's the potential of a range of materials known as perovskites that scientists believe will revolutionise solar energy and its roughly $55 billion industry.
Perovskite is a raw material that can be used to harvest light and can be mixed in liquid solutions to allow it to be deposited on a range of surfaces — paving the way for new and futuristic applications of solar power. It can be mixed with a range of chemicals to produce a crystallised lattice, and the film itself weighs very little.
The highly promising material was named one of the top 10 emerging technologies of 2016 by the World Economic Forum.

What is it?
Bitcoin is a new currency that was created in2009 by an unknown person utilizing the alias Satoshi Nakamoto. Deals are made with nomiddle guys— significance, no banks! There are notransaction fees and no have to give your real name. More merchants are starting to accept them: You can purchase web hosting services, pizza or perhaps manicures.
Is it really Anonymous for Santa Fe Springs residents?
Though each bitcoin transaction is tape-recorded in a public log, names of purchasers and sellers are never exposed— just their wallet IDs. While that keeps bitcoin users' transactions personal, it likewise lets thembuy or sell anything without quickly tracing it back to them. That's why it has actually become the currency of option for individuals online buyingdrugs or other illegal activities.
Compared to Brexit, Bitexit seems a piece of cake. On August 1st, without much agonizing or awkward settlements, a group of Bitcoin activists and entrepreneurs handled to create a second variation of the crypto-currency. It instantly got a following: as The Economic expert went to press, a unit of "Bitcoin Cash" had a cost of $460 and tokens worth $7.6 bn were incirculation (although that is still much smaller sized than Bitcoin traditional, which stood at about $2,700 and nearly $45bn).
This "fork", as such occasions are called, came earlier than anticipated. However it is how insiders had actually expected a two-year-old dispute over the future of Bitcoin to end. At the heart of this "civil war" was the question of ways to increase the capacity of the system, which can manage only up to seven deals per second. The brand-new version is able to process more than 50 per second, but otherwise works just like the original one. [google-map location="Santa Fe Springs CA"]
Will Bitcoin Cash be more than simply another "altcoin", as the many existing clones of the crypto-currency are called? It is backed by Chinese"miners", companies that offer the computing power to validate payments and mint new digital coins. They have actually been dissatisfied with how the original system has been managed by its designers— and made some additional technical tweaks to guarantee that the brand-new Bitcoin makes it through. The fans of the two versions will now fight over which can declare to be the " genuine"Bitcoin
All time High Rates in Santa Fe Springs California
The rate of bitcoin has smashed through $5,000 to an all-time high.
The cryptocurrency rose by more than 8% to $5,243 having begun the year at $966. Bitcoin has soared by more than 750% in the past year and is worth 4 times as much as an ounce of gold.
But the price has actually been unpredictable. The digital currency plunged below $3,000 in mid-September after the Chinese authorities revealed a crackdown.Beijing purchased cryptocurrency exchanges to stop trading andblock brand-new registrations, due to fears that increasing numbers of consumers stackinginto the bitcoin market might trigger widerfinancial issues.
The primary trader at for Santa Fe Springs California, stated:"The returns are really impressive, particularly giventhe recent ban on bitcoin trading in China, wheredemand had formerly accounted for at least 10% of all international volumes."
The Russian president called this week for guideline of cryptocurrencies, stating their usage "bears serious risks" such as loan laundering, tax evasion and financing for terrorism. However he likewise warned against enforcing "too many barriers," which appears to have actually offered bitcoin a increase.
In spite of cautions over a bubble, bitcoinis acquiring in acceptance. Last month, a Londonproperty developer, The Collective, stated it would allow its tenants to pay their deposits in bitcoin and accept rent payments in the cryptocurrency by the end of the year.
History of Bitcoin
A guy called Satoshi Nakamoto posted a term paper to an unknown cryptography listserv explaining his design for a new digital currency that he called bitcoin. None of the list's veterans had actually become aware of him, and exactly what little info could be obtained was dirty and contradictory. In an online profile, he said he resided inJapan. His e-mail address was from a totally freeGerman service. Google look for his name turned upno pertinent information; it wasclearly a pseudonym. However while Nakamoto himself mighthave been a puzzle, his development brokea issue that had actually puzzledcryptographers for years. The idea of digital money—convenient and untraceable, freed from the oversight of governments and banks— had actuallybeen a hot topic given that the birth of the Web. Cypherpunks, the 1990s motion of libertarian cryptographers, committed themselves to theproject. Yet every effort to produce virtual money had actually foundered, especially in Santa Fe Springs CA. Ecash, an confidential system introduced in the early 1990s by cryptographer David Chaum,failed in part because it depended upon the existing facilities of federal government and credit card companies. Other propositions followed— bit gold, RPOW, b-money— however none got off the ground.

What is happening in the world of strategic technologies?
Strategic technologies make up some of the most advanced and exciting aspects of digital business, but not everyone is as up-to-date; many industries and sectors are just catching up with the latest technology.
Public sector limitations
Technology advancements within the business world usually come with an aim for greater processes and better outcomes, but the initial investment cost can mean that there are slower adoption rates for those organisations in the public sector.
Recently, Gartner, Inc. released a report with recommendations for Australian Government CIOs in order to facilitate and aid government transformation initiatives. Rick Howard, research vice president at Gartner, has stated that outdated processes often limit government participation.
"In the digital service economy, the government must make strategic investments in IT or risk perpetuating suboptimal business and service models that are financially unsustainable in the long term," said Mr. Howard. "Government CIOs who are too slow to adopt the technology innovations that are transforming private sector service industries will increase business risk and cost, while compromising the mission of their organisations."
The top trends listed by Gartner were the digital workplace, multichannel citizen engagement, open any data, citizen e-ID, analytics everywhere, smart machines, Internet of Things (IoT), digital government platforms, software-defined architecture and risk-based security.
According to Gartner, the total of what national, federal and local Australian government are spending on technology products and services is expected to grow by 0.3 per cent. The prediction suggests that the industry may be bouncing back after an over 5 per cent decrease in 2015 – and is now expected to be worth $476.1 billion by 2020.
Big business is investing
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Tsinghua Holdings, a state-owned organisation with a wide range of subsidiaries in the technology industry in China, has recently invested $7.6 billion into strategic technologies.
"In the future, China's economy will need to rely on innovation," said Xu Jinghong, Tsinghua Holdings' chairman, in an interview Sunday.
The reason there is such focus on strategic technologies is because it is an industry that is seen by many to be the driving force behind business innovation.

Side dish
I've been feeling like mashed potatoes. I love mashed potatoes. While I'm not the world's largest fan of the traditional Thanksgiving meal, mashed potatoes go a long way toward making the day something to look forward to. When you get the consistency just right, and you cover it with gravy. Mmm. You know how it's easy to stuff yourself and still want to go back for seconds? Mashed potatoes always make the list of things that go back on my plate for over-indulgent seconds.
I don't know anybody, though, who has only mashed potatoes as the meal. They always seem to be a side dish. They're wonderful, but they're always a side dish. I've been feeling a lot like mashed potatoes recently. Wonderful. But only a side dish.
Heavy medal
Tithing was always a heavy medal. The weight caused the material it was pinned against to sag, and the constant flopping around with every movement soon began to be annoying, and the fastener constantly irritated the skin. But by God, as a devout Mormon it was a medal worth wearing.
After all, tithing wasn't just a sign of devotion, of commitment to the one true God. It was also a commandment with a promise. The very windows of heaven were opened to one who paid a faithful tithe, and the blessings were pouring down in such quantity that there was hardly any room left to receive any more of them.
To love is to be vulnerable
I had an interesting discussion with Girlfriend fairly recently. We were talking about how rare it seems to be for two people to really connect, to get past the superficiality of acquaintanceship and move to the type of bonding that allows for close friendship. Perhaps it isn't as rare for everybody else as it seems to be for me and her, but we commented that we had a very limited number of people we each would consider to be true friends.
We spent a large part of the conversation trying to identify what quality, attribute, or event enables the transition from acquaintance to friend. In doing so, we talked about why she and I felt that we were friends with each other. The conclusion we came to was that we felt that we could be open with each other. We trusted each other enough to disclose our deeper thoughts and feelings, and instead of judgment or shock from the other person, we received in return understanding and acceptance. She made the observation: "To love is to be vulnerable; and being vulnerable is the start of being loved"
Straight in a gay world
Imagine living in a parallel universe where everything was exactly the same as the universe we live in except that the socially accepted norm for marriage was homosexuality. Imagine that heterosexual marriage was frowned upon, and that the current civil rights movement involved trying to achieve marriage equality not for homosexuals but for heterosexuals. If you are among the very few who have homosexual tendencies, you might feel comfortable living in such a universe. If you are like the majority of people, though, you'd find that being a straight person living in a gay world would be very uncomfortable.
One could argue that heterosexuality is "normal" and that homosexuality is "abnormal," since fewer than 10% of people are strictly homosexual and only about one third of people admit to being not exclusively heterosexual. One could argue that society's preference for heterosexual marriage and its disdain or fear of homosexual marriage merely reflect the natural proclivities of the majority of the population. Equal rights aside, that seems like a perfectly reasonable and perfectly defensible position. The problem comes, however, when we apply the same reasoning to society's preference for monogamy.
The ancient pantheon
I was 23, so I don't feel I can definitely say that I married too young. But I feel I probably married too inexperienced. I can count on one hand the number of girls I dated seriously–that is, those to whom I felt able to say "I love you." And on both hands the number of girls I dated at all. I didn't know myself very well. And I feel I didn't know much about life, to say nothing of girls.
But I'm not going to blame the dissolution of my marriage on either my age or inexperience. Not that I necessarily hold them blameless, but rather that's not the topic I want to address today. Instead, I want to talk a little about one particular member of my personal ancient pantheon of girls I dated. She was 22 years old and she was my Greek Goddess.
How not to be the damsel in distress
For anyone who may be attracted to polyamory and only scared off because of the fear of jealousy, I would like to point your attention to a great blog post about one woman's experience with jealousy. I would stop writing right here and just say go read it. But since I know there will be some who won't click on the link, I'll just summarize a few things here. But don't let my commentary fool you. Go read it anyway. Seriously. I'll wait.
If you've ever been a kid with exactly one friend, you might be familiar with a feeling of horrible jealousy you might get when your friend decides to play with someone else, and not you, on the playground one afternoon. You might mope and kick rocks and cast sad looks in their direction and get angry that they aren't noticing how clearly upset you are not to be included. Your attention is focused entirely on the fun you aren't having.
and they twain shall be one flesh
I stumbled upon a great post this morning about the social imprint of monogamy and the unachievable ideal prevalent in society of finding your "one and only" when you marry. The post in question was titled How I Know My Wife Married the "Wrong" Person. It is clever and insightful about the ways in which many of us enter marriage without really understanding it, and about how marriage can never meet up with the fantasies we entertain about it in our minds.
Unfortunately, in trying to explain where we go from there, the author fails to continue to use the critical thinking that got him that far in the discussion. Or, perhaps more accurately and more fairly, in listing some alternatives to the problem of what to do when we find ourselves in a marriage that doesn't meet our admittedly unrealistic expectations, he is either blind to or conveniently dismissive altogether of one of the most practical solutions to this problem: that of polyamory.

Six Rules to Creating a Successful Persona
You can often determine whether a project will be a huge success or an epic fail from how it starts. If everyone on your team isn't on the same page from the very beginning, then it's more likely that things will go wrong. We've all been in or heard of a project being derailed by an executive who thinks they know best, and changes the entire scope of the project.
This happens all too often in business and it's why so many startups fail.
To ensure this doesn't happen to your next project or business idea, you need to get your shareholders and executives working together and on the same wavelength.
How? By creating goals and ad-hoc personas combined with using these six simple rules.
1. Write down your goals
If you don't have a clear goal in mind for your project, it will come undone.
Most employees don't know their company's goals. If they aren't defined from the very beginning, the foundation of your project is being built on shaky ground.
Write down what your goals are or what you think they should be. Once they are brought into reality, they are much easier to measure and put into action.
Your project goals should include the following things:
Business objectives – These can be quantifiable objectives such as generating $500,000 in gross profit in 12 months, or it can be a statement of purpose such as entering global markets by 2020.
You want to have three core business objectives.
Brand objectives – Focus on how your business wants to be perceived by customers and important people within your industry. For example, do you want to be known for having high-quality products (think Bose, Nike, and Apple), products that are a little more unique and quirky (Dollar Shave Club), or products that are value oriented (Walmart and Best Buy)?
Again, you will want to have three brand objectives that can be measured.
A clear USP – You can't sneeze today without propping up your head and seeing a new startup being formed. With so much choice for consumers, you need to have a clear, well-defined, unique selling point.
In an overly crowded marketplace, Bose are known globally for their extremely long-lasting products and warranty. For specific products, they give customers a five-year warranty from the date of purchase. As well as being a USP, it also doubles as a great branding tool because a warranty of five years shows the confidence they have in their products.
The goal(s) of your project or business needs to be created with your shareholders and executives. As they helped create the goals, it becomes incredibly difficult for them to later change the focus of the project.
2. Get the C-levels on board to create business level idealized personas
With your goals written down, the next step is to round up your c-level executives to create your idealized personas.
Ad-hoc personas are similar to data driven personas with one key difference: idealized personas are devised around a story and are prioritized against the goal of the project as opposed to built by buyer data.
Start by getting each executive to write down their assumptions about your ideal customer and to organize them in order of most importance. The purpose of this task is to allow them to justify and potentially reveal how limiting their thinking actually is when it comes to knowing how their ideal persona thinks.
Why ask c-level executives to jot down what they think their buyer persona is rather than using the data your business already holds?
There are three reasons. Firstly, with the tools we have on-hand today, businesses aren't suffering from a lack of information; they suffer from a lack of focus. Many are already bamboozled by the data they currently have, and getting more isn't the answer.
Secondly, creating idealized personas with your executives allows them to better understand your goals and how to reach them with the persona in mind (as you're about to find out in step 3).
Finally, since they have helped create the buyer personas, it minimizes the likelihood of the project changing direction in the weeks or months ahead.
3. Align the buyer persona with your goals
A fundamental error made by the majority of businesses is thinking too much about their goals and not enough about their buyer persona. For example, it's not uncommon for customer service departments to have KPIs such as:
- Spend no longer than one minute on a consumer help transaction
This KPI focuses primarily on the business, not the customer. If a customer has a serious problem, they may require several minutes on a call to resolve their problem, which goes against the KPI set by the business.
Create customer-oriented KPIs such as:
- If the customer is not satisfied after ending their call, we've failed.
With this new objective, support teams are not worried about spending too much time with a customer. Instead, their focus is on a value-first approach with the customer's needs ahead of the company.
Have your persona's interest as the main priority instead of your own, and your business's growth will compound over time.
4. Use a persona-weighted feature matrix when adding new features
Knowing which features to add to your product or service is always tricky with every c-level executive again thinking they know best.
The most effective way to know which features to focus on or drop is by using a persona-weighted feature matrix.
A persona-weighted feature matrix works by taking data from your executives and thinking about each persona and how they would react to each new feature. Once the data is collected, a table is created revealing which product features your buyer persona would like most or least.
To start the exercise, each executive is given 100 points, which they must allocate to all of your personas based on importance. For example, the most important persona may receive 50 points, whereas a less important persona may receive 30.
In the end, this will give each persona a weighting score. The higher the weighting, the more important they are to your business.
Next you will list all the new features you plan to introduce, and the executives will make assumptions on whether each persona will love or hate it. This is done on the following scale:
- 2 – love it
- 1 – it's fine
- 0 – doesn't affect the persona
- -1 – hates it
What you will end up with is something like this:
|Jane Papermill
Weight = 50
|Bob Lawyer Inc.
Weight = 30
|Lucy Grocery store
Weight = 20
|Weighted Priority
|Feature 1
|Feature 2
|Feature 3
In the example above, Feature 2 has the highest weighed priority (150) and Feature 3 has the least (100). This shows that Feature 2 will have the most positive impact on your business and will help your customers.
A persona-weighted feature matrix will reveal to you which features are most likely to be a hit or miss based on rational logic from executives.
5. Remind everyone where your goals came from
You have now prioritized your features – which have been prioritized by your buyer persona – based on your goals that have been approved by your executives.
You need to remind them that you have come to this stage of the process based on their input, so nobody can turn around and change the scope of the project because they 'disagree' with it.
You can take the matrix one step further by mapping out which goals are easiest to achieve, hardest to achieve, and the impact each goal will have on your business.
You will end up with four segments (as shown above). You can get to work on the most important features right away, and place less emphasis on features that won't impact your business as much.
6. Create a story
A persona is a character, and like any character, they are part of a story (customer buying journey).
Where do they start their journey: social media, search engines, or web forums?
What questions do they ask at each step? How are they thinking at each step and how can you place your brand at every touch point, guiding their actions to your business?
The best way to know is to physically draw out the journey of each customer persona as this will help you understand them better.
Stop guessing what your customers want because the truth is, most executives don't know. Whether it is because of their old fashioned thinking or their egos getting in the way, their actions are hurting your business and projects.
When you start a new initiative correctly, goals are much easier to achieve and reach. Using these six rules to identify your business's persona will reshape the thought patterns of shareholders and executives, ensuring everyone is pushing in the same direction.
The secret to these six steps is that each rule takes input from your leaders at every point, minimizing the chances of derailment and merging everyone's ideas together.

Texas needs to stop allowing small cities from hiring police officers for below poverty level salaries. I occasionally peruse the help wanted section of the Texas Municipal League. The police section is always entertaining. It doesn't take long to find a disturbing trend. Do the same rural cities post openings for police officers at pay levels that are disturbingly low?
From my experience here is what a rural city that refuses to pay a livable police salary gets for it's money.
1. A speed trap operator.
2. A cop with a history of poor performance. (Lazy and incompetent.)
3. A crooked cop. Inadequate pay breeds corruption.
4. A inexperienced rookie looking for experience. He will probably not find an adequate FTO program.
Some folks will argue that it would be a good retirement job for an experienced old cop.
I have to counter that argument with logic. Some of the towns posting the low paying jobs are located in West Texas and the panhandle. The towns are dying and have even tried to give away property in an effort to attract families. You simply don't see these towns being featured in retirement brochures.
So why do the same small cities continue to advertise for police officers. The answer is simple. Nobody stays. Small town politics rule. You give the wrong person a ticket and you may find yourself out of a job.
Is there a solution? Maybe. These small cities should offer an employment contract, housing and subsidies that can be incorporated into the salary. If they can't afford to pay a living wage why not offer a bonus of real property such as a house and land with a five year commitment.
The problem I see with these out of the way locations is nobody and I mean nobody has anything with the exception of the owner of the big ranches or out of state owned farming corporations. Everyone else is just a hired hand.

Every now and again you will find a cop who does not need the income and does the job in a particular location for personal reasons. That is rare indeed. Mostly you have to pay a decent wage to get decent help Look what happened in New Orleans when they paid their cops crap. They got cops committing serious crimes while on the job for income and rampant in-your-face corruption.

Bob you are exactly right. A heard the Warden at Angola personally meets with the crooked cops sent to him. They get the honor of breaking in new stock at the prison rodeo.

Strawberry Fruit Leather
If you are searching for some easy and yummy strawberry recipes for kids (as well as adults), fruit leather can be an ideal option. Here are some tips that will help you in making this yummy treat.
Sonia Nair
Strawberries are delicious fruits that can be relished in various ways. Apart from consuming them raw, you may use them for making desserts, milk shakes, smoothies and the list will be unending. One of the much-loved strawberry preparations is strawberry fruit leather. Though, fruit leather can be made with various fruit types, for strawberry lovers, it could be a real treat, especially for kids. You may also preserve strawberries in this way.
How to Make Strawberry Fruit Leather
Recipe I
If you are a hardcore fruit leather lover, try these recipes. You may also try to make fruit leather with other fruits as well. So, why wait? Get some strawberries and start the task of preparing homemade strawberry fruit leather.
- In order to prepare this recipe, you require one kilogram of fresh strawberries and six tablespoons of honey. Remove the green portion of the fruits (that are easily detachable) and cut the fruits into halves.
- Now, put the fruit halves in the food processor and run the machine till you get a smooth puree. It will take around 2-3 minutes for making strawberry puree.
- Once done, strain the puree, so as to extract the maximum amount of pulp as well as juice. Now, take a saucepan and heat this strawberry puree in a saucepan.
- As the mixture boils, reduce the heat and cook over low heat for about 40 to 50 minutes. Make sure to stir the mixture occasionally. The mixture will be glossy in nature.
- The next step is to remove the pan from heat and mix honey. Heat the oven to 170°F and position the rack in the center of the oven. Take a large baking sheet and line it with a nonstick baking liner.
- Now, pour the cooked strawberry puree onto the baking sheet and spread it uniformly (with a thickness of around 1/8 inches). Make sure that the edges are slightly thicker, so as to prevent over drying.
- Allow the puree to dry out inside the oven, till it gets leathery in texture. It will take around seven hours for the puree to reach that consistency. But, if the oven is in the convection mode, you can take out the leather within 3-4 hours. Make sure to rotate the baking sheet at least once during the drying period.
- Once you take out the dried strawberry puree, allow it to cool on a wire rack for a few hours to a day. After that, place a parchment paper over the strawberry fruit leather and flip it over. Peel off the liner before rolling the fruit leather. Cut it into 1 inch strips and store in zip lock backs.
- As per this recipe, you need around two and a half cups of hulled and halved fresh strawberries.
- Take a saucepan and boil the chopped strawberries in it with a small amount of water and a tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Allow the strawberries to cook for around 5-7 minutes.
- Remove it from heat and let it cool, before making its puree using a food processor.
- Once the cooked strawberries turn to a smooth puree, add enough sugar, as per your requirement.
- Now, preheat the oven to 170°F and line a baking sheet with nonstick liner.
- Spread the puree over the baking sheet and place it on the center rack of the oven. Let the puree dry for around 7-8 hours.
- After that, take out the baking sheet and let the strawberry fruit leather cool for a few hours.
- Once done, you can invert the leather on another parchment paper and remove the earlier one.
- Cut the leather into strips and store them in plastic bags.
If you are a hardcore fruit leather lover, try these recipes. You may also try to make fruit leather with other fruits as well. So, why wait? Get some strawberries and start the task of preparing homemade strawberry fruit leather.

We've all had those stressful days where things have not gone as planned. Where do we want to turn? Is it the freezer for some nice cool, smooth, mint chip ice cream? Is it the closet for the bag of crunchy, salty chips? Or is it the bread drawer for some warm crispy, buttery toast? We each have our favorites but not one of them has our best interests at heart when it comes to self soothing and resorting to these in this way can often lead to guilt or regret the minute they are done.
The Stress Response
Stress makes our heart race, our body tense, and our thoughts spin at a kinetic pace. We get in a frenzy, lose perspective on what is important and search out quick fixes to make us feel better at that moment. But you can train yourself to reach out for nonfood alternatives to get through the frenzy. They might not "hit the spot", but they will hit a different spot and actually be more effective on controlling the physical symptoms of stress without leading to the guilt. They will also put you in control of your emotions by successfully addressing the symptoms and help you to recognize those symptoms before they escalate.
Strategies for Self Soothing
- Just as a good gardener lays down compost and tills the soil for good crop production, you must cultivate yourself in order to be your best. Mindful practices like yoga, tai chi, qigong, and meditation help you connect with your body through the breath. When you concentrate on your breath, making it deep and slow, breathing in through your nose, expanding into your belly, and slowly breathing out through your mouth you not only slow your heart rate and increase carbon dioxide/oxygen exchange, you also stop the frenetic spinning of your thoughts. Like your car tires in snow, when you put the car in a lower gear your get better traction.
- Take a walk or get some other form of exercise for fifteen minutes. This reduces stress hormones, gives our minds a break and helps feelings of hunger to pass.
- Drink a cup of warm chamomile, jasmine or peppermint tea. The heat of the water and the choice of herbs will sooth your stomach and relax you. Often times our mind confuses hunger for thirst. And green tea is full of cancer-preventing and heart health promoting antioxidants.
- Create a soothing place. In your bedroom, or office, take a corner and create a space that will touch all your senses. Add a peaceful peace of art for visual calming, a fountain for soft noise, a smooth stone to rub while you gradually release tension, a CD with relaxing music, and some calming aromas like lavender to smell. Stimulating our other senses can prevent the impulse to mindlessly eat.
- Before caving in to a craving, connect with your senses. Take a moment to see how many things you can hear, how many visually appealing things you can see, how many physical symptoms you feel by doing a body scan. Cravings pass and this technique allows enough distraction to allow the craving to pass.
- Massage your body. Take a small amount of lavender, lemon, sage, or chamomile oil, and massage into your hands and then gently massage your neck, your shoulders, your forehead and the area above your eyes. These areas often take the brunt of our stress and will love the gentle appreciation.
- Identify your hunger. Is it truly the stomach growling, dull ache, hollow feeling or is it mouth hunger, that little voice that says you want a little "something-something". It is natural to feel hungry 4-5 hours after a meal. It is not natural to feel hungry 2 hours after eating. That kind of hunger comes from either eating a meal of "white" carbs, like rice cereals, white pasta or bread, not eating enough at a meal or from feelings of emotional hunger, not stomach hunger. To avoid the first two situations make sure to eat at each meal cereals, breads or crackers that are whole grain, a fruit or veggie and a lean protein with a little bit of healthy fat. An example for breakfast would be 3/4 cup cooked old fashioned oatmeal topped with one tablespoon of chopped walnuts and a quarter cup of low-fat Greek yogurt. A lunch or dinner might be a large green salad with light balsamic dressing, 1/2 cup of tuna, 1/2 cup Three Bean Salad and a fruit. If you have eaten a balanced meal and 2 hours later your are feeling hungry know that most likely it is due to emotional hunger.
You Can Soothe Yourself
Learning to recognize symptoms of stress before they escalate out of control, finding effective coping strategies to get through a stressful episode and taking charge of emotional hunger teaches us skills and gives us confidence that overflows into other aspects of ones life. You can have that small bowl of ice cream, that serving of potato chips or that slice of crunchy, buttery toast, but have it on your terms when you have planned for it, not when you are feeling stressed and are looking for a temporary fix. The five minutes of pleasure will only lead to hours of regret and unwanted weight gain.

Exercise 1: Pencil Study
Proportion and shading was the hardest part for me, as I don't usually do a lot of sketching and shading, but it was a fun exercise!
Exercise 2: Black and White Study
I usually had to sketch before painting, and this time round I tried drawing without sketching.
Seems like the proportions are out of control haha. But this has definitely brought me out of my comfort zone :)

Our roots date back over three generations from Italy to the United States. When Nonno Santo, our grandfather, opened restaurants from the Stony Brook Hotel Restaurant, in Long Island, NY that tragically burned in a fire - to the Empire Bar & Grill, on 1st Avenue and 1st Street, in downtown Miami, walking distance to their residence, on Brickell Avenue. Neighboring the late Mary Brickell, a lovely lady and namesake to Downtown Miami's, Mary Brickell Village. And also, where Mast' Antonio (Santo's son, our Dad) as a young boy roller-skated on Brickell Avenue, fished in the Miami River and rode his pony amongst dirt roads and stunning waterways, shopping at the local grocery store.
To entice new customers, Nonno Santo executed his vision, offering small plates as samplings of his menu, as well as featuring local entertainment, presenting a lively musical place; hence, the name "ALLEGRO," was born and the next generation of family Bar and Restaurant.
Mast' Antonio (Babbo) and his unparalleled culinary skills, along with his beautiful pastry chef wife, Lucile, carried on the family tradition and excellence in fine dining, opening the Allegro Inn, in Bronx, New York. Taking great care assembling a team of only the best chefs, sommeliers, and experienced kitchen and dining staff.
Decades later this Restaurateur and Master Chef, with his son and business partner, Santino, expanded the family business into New York's, Discothèque scene. Opening up, "Heat," a famous Manhattan nightclub and main rival to the legendary, "Studio 54" engaging in many a media frenzy, and frequent celebrity sitings.
Today - Babbo's daughters, Francesca, Media Entrepreneur, Writer and Photographer for multiple Food and Wine affiliations, and Cecile, Master of Marketing, Accomplished Business woman, and Author.
Born and raised in the restaurant and bar businesses, naturally are talented cooks, bakers, confectioners and wine stewards in their own right. Ardently carrying on the family tradition, traveling the world and bringing you the skinny on the best FoodsNWines!
Here's to sampling, abundantly... Cheers, grazie e Buon Appetito!
Thanks for visiting our site. Hope to see you soon!
"There is absolutely no substitute for the best. Good food cannot be made of inferior ingredients masked with high flavor. It is true thrift to use the best ingredients available and to waste nothing." - James Beard

Flu season is upon us. Several cast members have been ill and recuperated, and others are just now catching the bug. So we're dealing with a constantly shuffling array of unpredictable absences from rehearsals.
But that's show biz. And the show must go on. So we continue to push forward.
Yesterday we decided not to run the entire show as scheduled, but to instead focus on chorus-heavy numbers — making changes and additions along the way.
One big (and welcomed by many) change was that I discarded a troulesome section of choreography which had just never come together. The problem was that I'd over-thought it from the start and the counts/movements were just not intuitive. So I replaced it with a little three-part schtick which worked almost instantly, is far more entertaining, and actually helps to visually tell the story — rather than just being a decorative but meaningless little soft-shoe.
I'll never stop re-learning that simpler is better and that everything must contribute to telling the story.
Speaking of telling the story….
You've got to have your characters and plot and all that. But you also must have a strong underlying structure. The nuts and bolts (and stitches and glue) that hold it all together.
In the interest of supporting and holding the show together, we had our monthly Production Meeting tonight. This is when key members of the design, construction, and technical teams get together in one room to give progress reports, compare notes, make plans, present problems, and find solutions. Sets, lights, costumes, props, hair/make-up, marketing… it's all got to be organized and unified and on time and under budget.
'Cause Opening Night moves for no one. And the show must go on.

|"Far, Far Away" by Franca Franchi
Friendship is a word we casually toss around. We use it carelessly to describe relationships that are not worthy of its description. But a friendship in its purest form is to be cherished and genuinely thankful for.
Bad friendships are as common as breathing. Everyone who wants to get close to you does not have good intentions. When it becomes clear that there's an imposter in your zone, it's time to let go of bad friendships and keep moving.
Unfortunately, we measure a so-called 'friendly' encounter with a 'smile'. That's a big mistake. Smiling faces are notorious for hiding negative agendas.
I remember some song lyrics (from back when song lyrics had meaningful messages) that cleverly convey this message:
Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend.
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within.
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof
The truth is in the eyes cause the eyes don't lie, amen.
Remember that a smile is just a frown turned upside down, my friend.
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces tell lies and I got proof.
Beware of the handshake
That hides the snake.
I'm telling you. Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back.
Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you know where he's coming from.
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya'.
Take my advice I'm only trying to school ya'.
Nuff said.
But knowing the signs of a bad friendship wouldn't hurt.
But knowing the signs of a bad friendship wouldn't hurt.
When you realize someone with bad intentions is in your 'friend' zone. You gotta find a subtle way of removing them from your space (at least that's what my grandmother taught us).
She would say, "When you realize your hand is in a lion's mouth, you have to ease it out." In other words, slowly put their wicked behinds into your rearview mirror.
Never mind the slave talk about 'love your enemies' and 'turn the other cheek'. You only have two cheeks and you turned both of them years ago. Don't be ignorant.
I had a so-called friend in my life who managed to make me feel bad every time we crossed paths. I dropped that individual like an overweight what-not. I didn't take the time to let him down easy. He had to go immediately -like last year. So I made it happen.
After that, he bad-mouthed me to anyone who would listen. After that, it's like he made it his life's mission to destroy my character. Twisting reality and spewing poison.
"...no weapon formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that rises against you in judgement you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of YAH. 'And their righteousness is from Me', says YAH." --Isaiah 5:17
You give people the benefit of the doubt, but there's a price to pay when you're wrong. I've learned to practice asking YAH's advice in all matters. -especially when it comes to allowing people into my personal space.

Got Pray-ers?
Beth Jones
"Through your faithful prayers and the generous response of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, everything He wants to do in and through me will be done." Philippians 1:19, Message
There is nothing like having people who pray for you! In fact, the thing I most value in any friendship or relationship is prayer! I believe so strongly in the power of prayer because I have experienced the absolute, tangible, life-changing power of prayer.
How about you? I am sure you feel the exact same way. Isn't it a wonderful thing when the Holy Spirit prompts people to pray for things according to His will?
I have been on both ends of the prayer spectrum. I have been led by the Lord to pray for others and I have been the recipient of the prayers of wonderful pray-ers! During difficult days, we have needed and requested the prayers of others and how thankful we have been for the people who have been so willing to sacrifice their time to pray for us!
I love how the Amplified Bible lays out this verse…
"For I am well assured and indeed know that through your prayers and a bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) this will turn out for my preservation (for the spiritual health and welfare of my own soul) and avail toward the saving work of the Gospel." Philippians 1:19, AMP
Between the faithful prayers of dear-hearted, Jesus-loving people and the supply of the Spirit…the Lord preserves and empowers us to do His will and to preach His gospel. What a blessing!
If you are a pray-er, may the Lord reward you mightily for the prayer you have sown into the lives of others. May He empower and lead you to keep praying and making tremendous power available for others!
If you need prayer, may the Lord raise up pray-ers to lift you up to Him and may He answer in tangible ways for your spiritual health and welfare.
Say It: "Father, I thank You so much for those who have prayed for me, for those who have sacrificed their time, sleep and personal life to lift me up to You. I thank You for answering those prayers. Today, I pray for them and I ask You to multiply every prayer they have prayed back to them and reward them mightily. Father, I ask You to help me be a pray-er for others. Help me listen to the voice and promptings of the Holy Spirit so that I may pray for those You lay on my heart. In Jesus' Name. Amen."

TV desert/
The real joy of the Christmas telly schedules is that it lets you get on with some serious viewing. There's just nothing i want to see being transmitted on TV this week, which provides the ideal opportunity for me to explore Pure Mule, a DVD my son has obtained through unlikely contacts in the media world. It's about young people in a one-horse Irish town. It's full of drinking and chatting up, families and friends, All the stuff that the soaps do mechanically – but this is witty, touching and fresh, really well written and acted. Like the big American boxes, this has its own commentaries from the writer and directors, but it is worth that kind of attention – there are things you really need to see again, details that you can easily miss the first time around. I don't know if it's generally available, but if you get the chance, see it.
