Hello Good People!
UPDATE: I am glad to hear that Beyonce donated the payment to perform for the Gadhafi family to Haiti relief efforts last year. I hope the other artists will follow her lead. Here and here. Now she needs to do something about those pictures.
So I know you have heard about Beyonce in black face in honor of Fela Kuti and her African roots in a Paris fashion magazine. *smh* It also has come out that Beyonce was paid by the Gadhafi family for private performances. I believe that these incidents are indications of a lack understanding/ knowledge of our history.
As the adage says, if you don't know your history, you are doomed to repeat it. This is why we still see blackface images in the 21st century. The Boo, who is African, felt that the image perpetuates the stereotype that all Africans are dark skinned. She could have well-represented her African roots in her own skin color. I believe the best thing she could do to honor Fela Kuti and her African heritage is to learn about the topics. Pick up a book or even watch a documentary. Or at least have an assistant do the research and give you a debrief. SHEESH! Is it art? Is it offensive? Depending on who you ask, it is one or the other. I just feel this could have been a great opportunity to bridge and represent the African diaspora in a more powerful and positive way to the world. Beyonce should have declined the black face.
Now I was taken aback about her performance for Gadhafi's son. It is well documented that Gadhafi and his family flaunt their wealth while ruling Libya under a dictatorship. Now, I will give Beyonce some credit. Maybe she performed when Libya's good standing was restored under President Bush, and then US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice became the first Secretary of State to visited Libya since 1953. And there are others who have applauded Gadhafi as a African leader who promotes pan-Africanism. So as you see, this isn't a black or white situation, which is why I believe Beyonce was just ill-advised.
Again, I believe this situation is indicative of a broader problem for Americans. We don't know our history. Honestly, do you know why the people are protesting in the Middle East and North Africa? Why unions are protesting in Wisconsin and Ohio? How many of us know what are the top current events in the world? Or maybe you just don't care? This is unfortunate because this impacts all of us. And when you do start to care, it will be too late because politicians will have already made their decisions with little feedback from the people they represent.
I long to see a coalition of entertainers united for a cause producing thought-provoking songs and mobilization such as "Self-Destruction", "Revolution", or "Sun City". Or more entertainers to speak up about issues impacting our country. However, I digress.
Unfortunately, we don't look at ourselves as participants in the larger world. Our world vision goes as far as our immediate circle and our block. If we begin to learn our history, we can begin to view ourselves as global citizens. We also will have a better understanding of our selves and the world around us.
How do you see yourself in your community, in your country and in your world?

Tonight, enjoy some delicious tea and a book discussion on The Black History of the White House by Clarence Lusane. In this unprecedented work, Clarence Lusane presents a comprehensive history of the White House from an African American perspective, illuminating the central role it has played in advancing, thwarting or simply ignoring efforts to achieve equal rights for all. Here are the stories of those who were forced to work on the construction of the mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue and the determined leaders who pressured U.S. presidents to outlaw slavery, White House slaves and servants who went on to write books, Secret Service agents harassed by racist peers, Washington insiders who rose to the highest levels of power, the black artists and intellectuals invited to the White House, community leaders who waged presidential campaigns, and many others. Juxtaposing significant events in White House history with the ongoing struggle for civil rights, Clarence Lusane makes plain that the White House has always been a prism through which to view the social struggles and progress of black Americans.

Walking around the 125 tents at this event, you realise that 99 percent of all the ladies here have all had breast cancer. It is Amazing! There are about 3500 paddlers, 125 teams with 30 teams from Australia and 33 from US. It is phenomenal. This is the largest all women event in the world. The camaraderie here is so natural.
Everywhere you go in this town, there are groups of pink clad tourists. The Americans and the Aussies are loud, the south Americans are looking for a party and a beat to move to, the Poms are quietly queuing for cups of tea, and the kiwis are, well, a bit of all of them but less so.
We are all talking together and trading pins or whatever we have. Everyone wants the NZ pin as it is quite rare. It is a great way of meeting different people. So many people have expressed an interest in wanting this event to be in NZ next time, and would love to come to us.
Our team, the 'Vienna Pink Dragons International' has Austrian, Aussie, Belgian, Kiwi, English, French, Canadian, South African, Polish and German members. Everyone is lovely and we have been made very welcome.
Most are ok with English, but if there are instructions, that has to be translated. Day to day conversations - we are all on the same wavelength. Especially when we come off the water, high fives are pretty international.
The opening ceremony started with a parade through the streets of Florence and over the famous Ponte Vecchio bridge - the oldest in Florence. It has gold shops either side, but used to be butcher's shops, who got rid of their waste at the end of the day by swilling it directly into the river below. Yuck! We were able to have a special paddle under this bridge, with an Argentinean team and Colleen from Boobops on the sweep oar. Luckily no butchers swill just tourists claping and cheering us.
We had two races each day and won all four with an easy ( mostly) margin. Quite surprised as some of our paddlers had not been in a race before, and the 500m is not a usual distance, as 200m is the norm. Some of the other teams look so uncoordinated, with paddlers pulling out, or so badly out of time. I remind myself, as we all do, that it is participatory.
On the the second day the last race was a memorial for Sandy Smith, whose family attend each event, with the flower ceremony at the end. There was only space for one representitive from each team, so our organiser Svenja was nominated.
We had the privilege of getting a photo with Dr Don McKenzie. This great man started the whole Breast Cancer Survivors Dragon boat team - 22 years ago. He realised that it was beneficial to BC survivors and says " It improves the quality of life and has measurable benefits in physical and mental health". Yeah, what he said...
It is a great honour to meet and get a photo with him.
It is very well organised even with busses to transport us to the event and away at the end of the day.
Us kiwis have had some knock backs with a few illnesses that we brought with us or picked up along the way. We are all pushing ourselves to the limit with cramming in as much as we can every day. But when it comes to the crunch, everyone is in the boat giving 100%.
The pace of paddling is very slow, but so strong. It felt very odd when we started, but it worked! Our times were 2m 39 to 2.36 - getting faster for the last race. Not too bad for a composite team with 3 newbies. The fastest times were 2.20 with Can Survive on 2.21.
The sweep is not used to having a full boat and is used to being in salt water, but managed very well.
At the end of the weekend we had made so many new friends, and have invitations to go to many countries to paddle.
We came away knowing that we were part of this great participatory event, but so excited that we finished up as ranking 37 out of 125 teams. That's what we came to do... Done!
Ciao for now

Liberia-Kenya friendly gets first big donation
(mylbsonline.com/Liberia)-Liberia's Amputee National Football Team's friendly with Kenya this weekend has received boost from a local sports charity in Liberia.
"Soccer for Hope," formerly named "Football for Hope," has placed US$1,000.00 into the National Team Mobilization Committee's basket in response to its calls for US$11,000.00 assistance.
Soccer for Hope Executive Secretary, Andy Quamie, presented the cheque, bearing the amount, to the Liberia Sports Writers Association's President, Fombah Kanneh.
Mr. Quamie is CAF and FIFA's Match Commissioner. Fomah Kenneh was selected to head the Amputee 'Lonestar' Team's fundraising and mobilization committee.
The amount is the single largest since the physically-challenged national football team launched its fundraising and mobilization campaign recently.
The membership of the committee entirely comprises prominent local sports Journalists.
Soccer for Hope's kind gesture now adds to recent offer by the Liberian Government that it will finance the cost of hotel accommodation for both the visitors and the home team.
mylbsonline has learnt that the government's support amounts to nearly US$6,000.00 which now leaves the Amputee Football Team's leadership still searching for the balance of US$4,000.
Mr. Fombah Kanneh has heaped commendations on the local sports charity for cashing-in for the promotion and development of amputee football in Liberia.
In an interview with mylbsonline.com, Mr. Kanneh appealed to corporate entities and good-will wealthy personalities to render the team financial assistance to support its international friendly with the East African side this Saturday, August 24, 2013.
To make a donation to the amputee football national team, interested persons and institutions can contact telephone number: +231886487774.
The Liberian Amputee National Football Team is the current champions of Africa, and they are, for the second time, defending the top prize in a row.

Anyone who's ever watched a movie, TV show, live theater, or spent anytime with me in any setting knows that I have a little issue with needing to name every actor I recgonize and list everything he/she has ever been in or how I saw them at the La Jolla Playhouse in "The Glass Menagerie" when I was 12. It's a habit I inhereited from my parents always pointing out actors they recognized from being subscribers to The Guthrie Theatre in Minnesota in the '80's. I've always had this issue. In sixth grade, my peers actually barred the words "La Jolla Playhouse" from our conversations.
well, working in theatre, and living New York only exacerbated the problem. Now it wasn't just a matter of shouting out everytime I saw Bonnie Hunt or Henry Thomas in a movie preview, it's needing to give my history of working around Ty Burrell or Bob Saget and what they said and how Niegel knows them too, etc. It's bee wierd having this problem out in Seattle where no one has a context for what I'm talking about. I'm trying to deal with the issue, but also recognize that it's just part of how I engage/interact with what I see and the world I live in.
But something that had never happened occured the other day. My roomate Carrie and I were writing a EVITE and I looked at the Herbal Essences Internet Ad Banner and suddenly recognized the guy dressed as Cupid. It was Todd Buonapone, a regular understudy/performer at Spelling Bee on Broadway. I've logged in many hours watching him perform a variety of the guy characters, and here he was on the webpage as a shampoo ad/contest logo. I told Niegel and his reaction gave voice to my thoughts "Wait! Internet ads aren't real people. they're stock photography!"
it does seem like people on internet pictures are not actors. Secrets out. They are. And now there's a whole new realm for me to give ancestral filmographies and personal biographies of everyone single person I recognize on the InterWeb. I apologize to everyone for the annoyance this will cause, but frankly, I'm a little excited. Let the irrepressible name dropping continue!

Norton, Mass. – Host Wheaton College, ranked No. 15 in the latest D3soccer.com national poll, extended its unbeaten streak to seven straight games and in the process captured its eighth New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) regular season title in program history with a 5-0 win over Clark University on Saturday afternoon at Keefe Field.
The Lyons improve to 16-2-2 overall and finish their league slate at 6-0-1, outscoring their conference opponents 17-4.
Clark, meanwhile, sees their season come to an end at 7-10-2.
Jacob Battipaglia opened up the game in memorable fashion for the Lyons with his second goal of the season on a feed by Ben Altneu just 5:49 into the contest. Altneu found Battipaglia at the top of the 18-yard box and Battipaglia sped past his defender for the breakaway strike to give Wheaton an early 1-0 lead.
Altneu followed with his eighth goal of the season at the 13:31 mark as he finished a cross from Scott Enman near the penalty area for a 2-0 gap on the scoreboard in less than 15 minutes of action.
After an own goal off of a corner kick pushed Wheaton ahead 3-0 in the 19th minute, Brian Kenny registered his first career goal with a successful penalty kick at the 41:23 mark to close out the scoring in the first half.
Sophomore Steven Pinski potted the final marker of the game in the 87th minute by putting home a rebound after junior forward Michael Cronin's initial shot was stopped.
Wheaton junior goalkeeper Matt Dickey made one save in the win (11-0-1) to collect his 30th career victory in net (47 games played). Clark first-year goalkeeper Connor Maguire (Dunstable, Mass.) turned away two shots in the start (45 minutes played), while backup goalkeeper Alistair Richardson (Tolland, Conn.) had three saves in 29:44 of play and Willie McDonald (Norwell, Mass.) registered one save in 15:16 of action.
Wheaton will host the semifinals and finals of the NEWMAC Men's Soccer Tournament on Saturday, November 8 and Sunday, November 9.

Recently I took a trip to my parent's place in North Wales, and while I was there I took some photos of my Dad's bees. For years my Dad has been interested in keeping bees, so this year he decided to take the plunge. He started off by taking a course earlier in the year through the Anglesey Beekeeper's Association (check out their site for information on courses and activities - angleseybeekeepers.org) and received further tuition from a member of this assocation. The knowledge and help he received was invaluable for when he eventually received his bees this summer. He's been pleasantly surprised of neighbours being supportive of him doing this as he was expecting people to be unhappy about a hive being nearby.
Here's what my Dad had to say about his interest in keeping bees:
"It's a combination of things really. There's the green perspective, being altruistic and helping pollinate local plants, but also for slightly selfish reasons as I love honey! I also find it thought provoking to be dealing with an interesting species that are older than our own. I'm interested in them as impressive insects and what they are able to do, humbled by the way they work together to build colonies."
It's a fascinating subject and I thought it would make for a good photo story. I wanted to get a cross section of images, including my Dad working away at the hive, but as he didn't want to disturb them and there was a fair bit for me to take in, we decided this time would serve as a practice run.
Wearing the suit and getting used to the presence of inquisitive bees near the hive took some getting used to. I found it uncomfortable to have them buzzing around my head as the natural reaction would be to move away. This may not have bothered me so much had I complete trust in the suit, but knowing my Dad had recently been stung on his cheek whilst wearing the suit, with no idea how the bee got inside, initially made me feel a bit paranoid. Eventually I got used to it and got some shots of the entrance of the hive.
As the bees won't be as active over the winter I now plan to come back to this sometime in Spring next year. For now I hope you enjoyed this preview and thanks for reading. Please be sure to sign up to my newsletter below to stay updated for future blogs!

There are different benefits which chia seeds could manage to deliver to your body; it could happen through adding it to the recipes which you usually prefer, or else, through the drinks that you could sprinkle it on, but one of the easiest ways to receive these different benefits happen through adding chia seeds to water; the drink that is eventually known as chia Fresca. Chia seeds are now growing to be famous although you might come across those who are still not aware of it, but this awareness should keep growing in order to help those who are still searching for something to keep them energetic while working out, something to help with several health conditions, and something that will never add a lot of calories to their bodies as well, to find what they are searching for.
The best thing about those seeds is the fact that their taste is not strong and thus never affect the thing it is added to; whether food or drinks, making it possible to add these seeds to almost all the dishes as well as the drinks that you might be having. Since water is considered one main ingredient in our daily lives, we should mention that chia seeds could be also added to your water, which you could consume while working out or even during your regular day.
Can You Drink Chia Seeds in Water?
At first, you might not get the whole idea and you might find it a little bit weird to drink water with those seeds swimming inside, but once you give yourself the chance to know more about the benefits that they could deliver to your body after being added to the water, and after trying this drink out, you will realize that it tastes good and at the same time delivers several benefits to your body.
Chia seeds could be definitely added to water and this addition brings out the chia Fresca which is the combination of water, lemon slices, chia seeds, and sweetener (even though not all the people add it). Back in the old days when chia seeds were first discovered, they were mainly used in order to give the person more energy and at that time they were famous in Mexico and Central America, but now they are found almost anywhere in the world and are used for different other reasons as well.
It is important to know that chia seeds should never be consumed on their own because when they are added to water they usually expand in their size, which might cause problems in the stomach if they are eaten the way they are without being followed by water. That's why the idea of soaking the seeds even before adding them to any dish out there is always considered an important thing, bringing us to the idea that chia seeds and water are connected to one another and thus it is considered acceptable to mix them together and create the chia Fresca drink.
Chia Seed Water
In order to prepare the chia seed water or as it is referred to "chia Fresca", you will not even consume more than a couple of minutes for such a thing. The ingredients which you will need for this drink include:
- Two cups of water
- 5 tablespoons of chia seeds
- ½ tablespoon fresh lemon or lime juice, or to taste
- Sweetener to taste (1/2 of maple syrup)
In order to bring this drink to life and make use of these different ingredients, you will need to add the chia seeds to the water in a bottle or a jar and shake them well in order to give them the chance to mix well then let them sit for about 10 minutes in order to give the chia seeds the chance to swell in the water. When you are done, add the lime juice and the sweetener to this mixture and shake them once again, but make sure you are doing this well enough.
How Much Chia Seeds to Put in Water?
The amount of chia seeds which you are supposed to add to water will always depend on the amount of water you are using, but it is always important to keep in mind that those seeds swell and expand in water after turning into that gelatinous texture, that is why the amount of chia seeds should be always much less than that of the water. One example for that; if you are using about two glasses of water, you should never add more than one and a half tablespoons of chia seeds or even less; this amount will be reduced according to the amount that you are using.
Benefits of Chia Seeds
There are different things to know about chia seeds when it comes to the benefits that it could offer for the human body, from the most important ones to mention, we should say that chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, they could be used in their ground form and they could be also stored for a long period of time without going rancid, chia seeds usually absorb about 10 times their weight in water and that is the reason why they help with hydration, there are other nutrients which they carry within such as fiber, protein, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc.
These different nutrients and minerals that are found in chia seeds help with different health issues, such as lowering the blood pressure, helping with weight loss, it is believed to have some effects on cancer, it is considered healthy for those suffering from diabetes, help those dealing with heart problems, it is beneficial for the skin and the aging process, as well as other benefits.
Benefits of Chia Seeds with Water
Thinking about drinking chia seeds in water is one good idea to keep following and this goes back for several reasons which some of them go back to the lemon that is part of this recipe as well. Chia seeds are known to be beneficial for the reasons which we have mentioned some of them above, but it is important to know more about the things you are going to gain from drinking water with another ingredient added to it.
Among the most important things or benefits which we are supposed to mention, we will say that:
- Chia Seeds Help with Weight Loss
One of the major reasons most of the people depend on chia seeds is that they want to lose some weight and which chia seeds could definitely help with. One of the nutrients found in chia seeds is fiber and fiber is known to help with making the person feel full faster and will stay on this state for a longer period of time, which means that he/she will consume less amount of food and this is how he/she is going to shed some pounds off.
In addition to the fiber content it chia seeds, there is another reason found by a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) to use chia seeds, and this reason goes back to the dangers that the excess weight could cause and which include a higher risk of heart disease, which is one important reason for the person to consume more chia seeds.
In addition to weight loss, the fiber that is found in chia seeds is both soluble and insoluble, which could keep the cardiovascular system healthy and thus keep a healthy heart at the same time.
- Chia Seeds Reduce Insulin Resistance
In addition to being beneficial for the health of the heart and for giving the person a chance to lose some weight, chia seeds are also considered important when it comes to reducing the insulin resistance. There are different important things to shed the lights on when it comes to chia seeds and one of them is the fact that it prevents the onset of dyslipidemia and insulin resistance, and that was according to a study done and published in the British Journal of Nutrition which tested the benefits and effects that chia seeds carried on insulin resistance and dyslipidemia (which is the high amount of fat and/or cholesterol in the blood).
- Chia Seeds Help those Suffering from Cancer
Among the different other benefits related to chia seeds, it is important to mention that these seeds are believed to decrease the growth of cancer. There were several studies done on this part and according to a study published in 2007, it was found that chia seeds oil decreased the tumor weight and metastasis number of the cancer.
When you add seeds to water, these are some of the benefits which you should keep in your mind and which you might gain on the long run, but in addition to these different benefits related to chia seeds, there are those which might be gained from adding lemon to this mixture and these benefits usually include:
- Being great for detoxification, and at the same time being added to chia seeds, these lemons manage to help ease different digestive disturbances such as bloating and indigestion.
- Helping with weight loss as well and when they are combined with chia seeds, the effects might be even better.
- Giving the person the chance to feel and look younger which goes back to the high antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral content found in them. In addition to boosting the body with some energy, lemons are also considered beneficial because they have vitamin C which is considered important for the healthy looking of the skin.
Whenever you think about gaining some benefits, it is important to think about this mixture between chia seeds, lemon, and water, because they will manage to combine together and give your body several important benefits.
Adding chia seeds to water is possible and even suggested, because the benefits that chia seeds could deliver to your body will travel via using this drink and will settle right there in your body. Chia Fresca is considered an old drink that was mainly used for energy, but you could depend on it now for different other reasons related to several parts of your body and which will eventually manage to give your body the chance to fight different illnesses and deal with different health conditions.

Our prediction for this match:
After recording back-to-back wins over Serbia and Uzbekistan, Morocco will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Ukraine at Stade de Geneve. The Moroccans are brimming with confidence ahead of Thursday's football match and they are definitely capable of making life difficult for the Ukrainians. Andriy Shevchenko's men were having their ups and downs in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and, as a result, they failed to make it to the showpiece tournament in their neighborhood. Ukraine are ready for a new beginning and we predict that they are going to fight tooth and nail against the African side. Andriy Shevchenko's team want this win more than the Moroccans, but share of spoils appears on the horizon in this one. It has to be noted that the two teams meet for the first time ever on the international stage.
Highlighted Player (Mykola Morozyuk):
Product of the club, Mycola Morozyuk is the 28-year-old right midfielder, who can effectively be deployed at right back as well. Having begun his career with the Kyiv giants in 2005, Morozyuk struggled to make his mark in the first team and was transferred to Metalurh Donetsk in 2010, the same year he was give his international debut.
More than 120 appearances later and loans at the likes of Dnipro and Obolon Kyiv, the Ukrainian midfielder returned home to Dynamo Kyiv in 2015.
Mycola Morozyuk was unfortunate to make an immediate impression following his return to the club he began his professional career with as he suffered a serious ligament injury at the beginning of 2016. Ligament issue limited his influence to mere 13 league appearances so far, but the 28-year-old lacks no motivation to finally earn his stripes with the Ukrainian giants.
Highlighted Team (Morocco):
Morocco, the Atlas Lions, are the first African team to win a group at the World Cup finals. Back in 1986 the team managed to finish the group stages above Portugal, Poland and England, but West Germany proved to be a big catch for the Moroccan national team in the last 16 of the tournament.
The Atlas Lions participated at the World Cup finals on four occasions, but winning of the 1976 African Cup of Nations is considered the team's biggest success. Morocco were producing outstanding displays at the tournament in Ethiopia and it has to be noted that they defeated Guinea in the title game.
Morocco play their home games at Stade Adrar and Stade de Marrakech and they wear red shirts and green shorts when playing in front of home fans. A number of top-class footballers played for Morocco in the past, but Mustafa Hadji is certainly the biggest star who played for the Moroccan national team.

Satan is creating a world of lawlessness with the use of technology like sex robots and virtual reality while books and movies are being used to condition mankind into accepting the rise of the Anti-Christ.
This documentary explains that Satan is using sex robots as a gateway into complete lawlessness where murder and bestiality will not be a crime. The man of sin in revelation will be worshipped on earth in the form of Artificial Intelligence and that movies like Lawnmower Man are telling us what the anti-christ will manifest himself through technology.
Satan has been using pagan and kaballah mystics to write books and produce movies where worshipping baphoment, or pan, is normal for mankind. Guillermo Del Toro and CS Lewis are a good example as to how Satan has been fooling Christians for a long time with movies like Pans Labyrinth and The Chronicles of Narnia.

Sounders Insider
Evans likely for Salt Lake, Fernandez not called
These updates today from coach Sigi Schmid:
On Evans: "[He's] doing better. He trained today. There was a chance we could've put him on the bench yesterday but we felt if something happened early and he had to play extended minutes yesterday it could set him back again. He'll definitely be, I think, within the 18, don't know yet if he's going to start or not."
On Fernandez (who had been reported earlier as being called in for national team duty): "(Uruguay) originally named a list of 23, but the final list was 20 and he wasn't on that 20."
Asked about Fernandez's play in Wednesday's 1-0 loss to Dallas, Schmid said:
"I think for Alvaro, I think his game has definitely taken an uptick since I put him on the bench and he's come back into the team. I think he's a better passer than he showed on Saturday -- I'm sure he's disappointed in that himself. The other thing is, in this league ... once referees think that you're going down easily you don't get calls. And I think he's got to stay on his feet a little bit more and get referees going into games thinking differently about him, and then he'll get more of those calls when he is legitimately fouled. There were two fouls early in the game that definitely deserved calls, but once you have a reputation of going down easily they go into games thinking that, so we have to be stronger that way on the ball as well."

Social media often gets a bad wrap from small to medium business owners. With the common opinion that it negatively affects productivity, many also believe social media discourages interactions between employees and provides an avenue for policies to be breached.
As a result, 43% (down from 53% in 2012) of organisations ban or block social media use in the workplace.
Research shows however, that these beliefs are misconceptions.
Of course, if you are spending 7 hours of your working day on social media, you will experience a drop in productivity, and likely isolation from your workmates – I'm not an advocate for bludging in any shape or form!
However, there are significant positives to allowing social media use in the workplace, as a way of increasing productivity, encouraging collaboration and enhancing the image of the brand.
Social media provides light relief
Social media allows some individuals a much needed brain break – taking a step back from the task at hand to allow it to process what is being done. Research has shown that the best creative breakthroughs happen after you have been working on them and break away, as your brain will still reflect on the task at a subconscious level.
These brain breaks can provide a boost to an individual's productivity and overall work output.
The need to step away from work is becoming more apparent then ever in today's world. With a recent survey found that 63% of workers receive emails from their boss on the weekend, and are expected to respond! The old 9-5 is no longer practical, with another survey finding that 80% of workers continued to work at home after leaving the office, adding a month of unpaid overtime annually.
By allowing access to social media in the workplace, you can increase your employees' mood significantly, which in turn motivates them to work more efficiently for the business.
Social media enables collaboration
When used correctly social media provides an effective avenue for collaboration within the work environment. Savvy investors have already jumped at this concept, with Microsoft purchasing workplace social media platform Yammer for $US1.2 billion. Newcomer #Slack is already valued at over $US1 billion after launching 6 months ago.
The ability to share with workmates instantly away from email is driving more efficient communication channels and encouraging cross team collaboration – something 56% of organisations found difficult in the past.
Social media is becoming a part of our office lives just as email did all those years ago. And with increasing prevalence in the wider community, it is becoming more important then ever to keep up with the technology.
A few figures to consider:
- 94% of recruiters use social media as part of their recruiting toolbox
- 80% of companies have a social media policy (up from 60% in 2012)
- 69% of Gen-Y workers believe they should have access to social media at work
With that in mind, if you want to keep your best and brightest talent, maybe it's not the best idea to restrict social media.
Encouraging your employees to be active on social media can be positive for the image of the brand, as positive references to the workplace shows a greater level of employee engagement.
So what are the necessary steps to ensure your company social media policy is effective and encourages positive interaction?
- Provide concrete guidelines – a social media policy should be an evolving document that develops with the technology. It should clearly state what is acceptable and what is not – both inside and outside the office.
- Invest in training – bring in professionals to teach the appropriate skills, enabling your employees and managers to optimise social media, whilst preventing abuse of the power that comes with it.
- Use social media for collaboration – file sharing, instant messaging, group discussions. The implementation of a workplace social media platform can aid in collaboration, and will help drive productivity.
- Allow for breaks – a brain break might be just what they need for that creative breakthrough, or to refresh the mind for more productive work.
Remember, your employees are representative of your company – when done correctly this can enhance the brand, aid in recruiting, and encourage a positive working environment.
Rather than restricting, think about enabling
So perhaps it's time to re-think social media in the workplace. Social media is here to stay – the challenge for business is to utilise this opportunity to enhance their image, improve collaboration and increase production.

Calculating Child Support
Asking for child support in California is generally a straight forward process. However, having an attorney assist in you asking for child support can help you avoid a few common pitfalls.
When both you and the payor of child support are W2 wage earners, calculating the amount of support to be paid is simple. However, parties often disagree on what we call "timeshare"–the time each of you spend with your child or children. Who gets credit for the time the children are in school? Or sleeping? This common disputes can have a significant impact on the amount of child support you receive. It is important that you consult with an experienced family law attorney before filing a motion for child support.
When you or the payor of spousal support is self-employed it can create an area of confusion for the court in calculating child support. More often then not, a self-employed individual's income as stated on his or her income tax returns is not the actual income the court should consider in setting support. This is because the court can "add-back" certain tax deductible expenses to a self-employed individuals income. It is very important that you consult with an experienced family law attorney if self-employment income is factor in your child support case.
In calculating child support the court takes into consideration various deductions from income. These include but are not limited to mortgage interest, property taxes paid and health insurance. Some of these so called deductions increase the amount of child support you receive, but some of these deductions actually decrease the amount of child support you receive. It is very important to consult with an experienced family law attorney prior to filing your motion, so you have an understanding of how these deductions affect the amount of support you will receive (or pay).
While the court has little discretion in setting child support, as in California it is based on the guidelines enacted by the legislature, there are instances where the court can deviate from the calculation. These instances fall under a unique set of facts and circumstances, which if is why it is important you talk to an experienced family law attorney before pursuing child support.
It is often wrongfully presumed that a court has the ability to order child support for months or even years before a party makes a request. If you want to receive child support you must file a request for child support, and the court lacks jurisdiction to order support before the filing of your request. For instance, if you file a request for child support on June 12, the court can only make an order for support effective July 1.
Griffith, Young & Lass has experienced family law attorneys on hand to help answer all of your questions regarding child support. While you may simply want to consult with one of our attorneys prior to filing your own motion, or hire one of our attorneys to pursue child support on your behalf, we are here to assist in any capacity.

Wireless capsule endoscopy (WCE) offers a patient-friendly, non-invasive and painless investigation of the entire small intestine, where other conventional wired endoscopic instruments can barely reach. As a critical component of the capsule endoscopic examination, physicians need to know the precise position of the endoscopic capsule in order to identify the position of intestinal disease after it is detected by the video source. To define the position of the endoscopic capsule, we need to have a map of inside the human body. However, since the shape of the small intestine is extremely complex and the RF signal propagates differently in the non-homogeneous body tissues, accurate mapping and localization inside small intestine is very challenging. In this dissertation, we present an in-body simultaneous localization and mapping technique (Body-SLAM) to enhance the positioning accuracy of the WCE inside the small intestine and reconstruct the trajectory the capsule has traveled. In this way, the positions of the intestinal diseases can be accurately located on the map of inside human body, therefore, facilitates the following up therapeutic operations. The proposed approach takes advantage of data fusion from two sources that come with the WCE: image sequences captured by the WCE's embedded camera and the RF signal emitted by the capsule. This approach estimates the speed and orientation of the endoscopic capsule by analyzing displacements of feature points between consecutive images. Then, it integrates this motion information with the RF measurements by employing a Kalman filter to smooth the localization results and generate the route that the WCE has traveled. The performance of the proposed motion tracking algorithm is validated using empirical data from the patients and this motion model is later imported into a virtual testbed to test the performance of the alternative Body-SLAM algorithms. Experimental results show that the proposed Body-SLAM technique is able to provide accurate tracking of the WCE with average error of less than 2.3cm.

By Alex Neupert, Sports Editor
As primary season is in full swing, "House of Cards" offers a lot for the politically interested viewership. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright once again boast strong performances in the show's fourth season as the powerful and meticulous Frank and Claire Underwood, the duo that have continuously persevered through the grime and muck to rise to their esteemed positions. Intrigue pervades the show as always, and journalists from the show's early seasons have found their way back into relevancy, serving as plot engines for both this season and possibly the next.
It is true that "House of Cards" continues to be a show worthy of binge-watching and has definitely improved on what was a tedious third season—a low point for the series that focused more on the Putin stand-in than it needed to. However, the show is also increasingly embracing its role as more of a typical drama, and the soapiness is beginning to seep through the notion that it represents, in any way, the true machinations of the political world.
Like the first three seasons, the fourth season of the Netflix series touches on several issues from our own political environment, including an ISIS substitute, references to the challenging task of filling a Supreme Court position, and, of course, the first lady's more direct foray into politics, an easily-sighted allusion to Hilary Clinton's transformation from president's wife to much more. As much as the show would like to be taken seriously, though, based on the immediate relevance of these and other plot points, it dips its toes too often into the realm of fiction that—especially for a binge-watcher—begins to feel very forced and especially fanciful.
In the one season alone, there are two instances where strong political opponents of the Underwoods, with obvious upper hands in these scenarios, have silly lapses of judgment that culminate in the dissolution of their presidential aspirations. It is a bit of a stretch to suggest that one candidate would receive such luck over the course of his career, especially one with as many dirty dealings as Underwood. Furthermore, Frank's assertion that a politician would "drown a litter of kittens for ten minutes of primetime" seems doubtful at best. Either the show has deluded itself into believing what it shows of the political machine, or it is trying its best to provide an entertaining and scheme-filled drama.
The latter is probably more true.
To be fair, this is not really a knock against "House of Cards," as it has definitely embraced this line of play more as the show has gone on. For all the detractors that continually note the show's false representation of politics and the fantastical situations that arise throughout, it is very likely that everyone has simply read the show wrong from the get go. Because of the hard-hitting cast and the Emmy nominations, viewers and critics alike have been led to believe the show wanted to be seen as a mirror of our own corrupt government. It would seem that the series' creators were always leaning towards more of a soap opera than anyone thought.
All this in mind, the fourth season does a very good job of keeping the plot moving and the content interesting. Frank gets to face off against a politician very like himself—cunning, ruthless, and utilizing social media to advance his image and agenda—and Claire gets to assert herself further as a political powerhouse. The big point this season failed to do, however, was provide a satisfying conclusion. It felt very much like a 'Part One' movie, wherein there is a massive buildup with little, if any, payoff. A plot point that in a normal weekly aired program would last months of viewership was left up in the air at the season's conclusion. Obviously, this points toward a fifth season, but it would have been nice to see a story arc come to fruition. Despite this, the fourth season of "House of Cards" is pretty satisfying and quite an improvement over the third, moving the show in a promising direction.

Devonshires is very proud to be sponsoring Tech@Housing at the prestigious annual Chartered Institute of Housing conference later this month.
With the rapid advance and scope of technology available to the housing sector, housing providers must be smart about how they buy, what they buy, managing, and understanding their kit. I'm very much looking forward to providing legal insight at CIH 2018. Technology can be a significant investment, depending on the packages, customisation and functionality. Get it right and you improve customer experience such as picking up tenant repairs quickly; and facilitate the smooth running and efficiency of your organisation from HM to HR to finance. Get it wrong and you face delays, outages and potentially leakages of data.
Our guidance will cover: the importance of being clear about your needs, understanding what you are buying; having an audit trail around your purchase; whether it's best to use your expertise to manage in-house or trust in outsourcing; and ensuring compliance with GDPR.
"The tech explosion – investment guidance from the experts" will take place at from 12 noon in the Tech@Housing main theatre. We very much hope you can join us.

A battle for African skies is brewing as competition becomes tougher for darling and established airlines.
Many African countries remain inaccessible to the majority of Africans due to the expensive air travel occasioned by few airlines.
To address this challenge, many budget airlines are coming up to fill the gap that premier airlines have not been able to fill.
The latest entrant is the start-up Green Africa Airways which has signed the largest yet aircraft agreement from Africa with American airplane manufacturer Boeing.
While the deal signing has gone smoothly, surving the African skies is not guaranteed going by the nature of the airline business on the continent and the challenges that remain a hurdle especially with cross border travelling.
Africa's top ten airlines are graded based on a customer satisfaction survey according to Skytrax which conducts the exercise every year. And from this, they get the World Airline Awards.
As Africa advances in development, there is a growing need for fast, comfortable and reliable transportation making flying the best option.
Flying is major catalyst to the continent's growth and connectivity and the best airlines will definitely win becoming the darling of many if they can deliver reliability to commuters.
Among those angling for the pie include those voted the best airlines in Africa in 2018. Among them is Ethiopian Airlines which topped the list.
The airline from Africa's second most populous nation is ambitious and flies to 125 Passengerdestinations and 44 for cargo.
Ethiopian Airlines CEO, Tewolde Gebremariam, started his tenure at the government-owned entity in Jan 2011.
The airline is a Star Alliancemember with ASKY Airlines, Eritrean Airlines, Tchadia Airlines and Malawian Airlines as subsidiaries.
Ethiopian Airlines has hubs in Addis Ababa at Bole International Airport, Lomé-Tokoin International Airport and Lilongwe International Airport.
Second in line is South African Airways which also owns the low-cost domestic airline, Mango. The South African airline is also linked with Airlink and South African Express. SAA is also Star Alliance member with 35 destinations.
Air Mauritius is Mauritius' flag carrier airline and the fourth largest carrier in Sub-Saharan Africa. Its markets are European, African and the Indian Ocean region with a fleet size of 15 and 24 destinations.
Another airline that could transform travel in Africa is Air Seychelles which is 40 per cent owned by the United Arab Emirates carrier Etihad Airways.
After extensive restructuring and cost-cutting measures, the airline flies to Johannesburg, Mauritius, Durban, Antananarivo, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, Düsseldorf and Paris.
Kenya's national carrier Kenya Airwayshas just been given tentative approval by the Federal Aviation Administration to fly to the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York starting from October 2018.
Depending on the aircraft and the class travelled, different in-flight entertainment is available.
KQ plans to add up to twenty new destinations in Africa, Europe and Asia in the next five years.
The third biggest Sub-Saharan Africa's carrier will see five sub-leased aircraft re-join the fleet by the end of 2019 to facilitate the expansion move.
The Royal Air Maroc which is fully owned by the Moroccan government operates from the Mohammed V International Airport to serve the local market in Morocco and with scheduled international flights in Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America.
The airline also offers charter flights including for the Hajj services.
Fastjet which aims to become the continent's first low-cost, pan-African airline is placed eight after Mango in Africa. It came to be after the acquisition of Fly540, an airline operating in East Africa.
The British/South African-based company started flights in Fastjet's own name in November 2012 in Tanzania.
To provide low-cost air travel, passengers can buy beverages and snacks on all flights. The full in-flight menu can and does vary across the different routes.
Another South African airline Kulula operates on major domestic routes from OR Tambo and Lanseria International Airports.
It is as simple as that!
And finally, Angola Airlines TAAG wraps the top ten list of Africa's best airlines.
It operates an all-Boeing domestically and medium-haul services in Africa. The airline also offers long-haul services to Brazil, Cuba, China and Portugal.
The airline is an International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the African Airlines Association member.
While this list is not exhaustive, there are many other airlines that are serving in the different African countries and which look to be within the big league some time.
It is however not guaranteed that they will make it unless they can evolve with the times and offer what the rest are not offering.

Adventure Dating With LuvByrd
Getting to know someone new is never an easy task. Opening up, and allowing someone to judge your life experiences from an outsider's perspective makes you feel vulnerable. This is why LuvByrd users enjoy going on dates that are outside and active. While showing your strength through climbing a 14er, or kayaking through the reservoir—breaking down your walls does not seem as intimidating. Adventure dating is easier than awkwardly making conversation during a movie, and takes the pressure off of trying to fit in just enough drinks during a dinner date. Go outside, enjoy the beautiful Rocky Mountains that tower over our beautiful state, and make memories that you and your date could never forget. . . .

(I was going to try to come up with a clever or at least original title for a blog post that's all about reviewing the past year, when I realized that I'm not feeling clever and a blog post about reviewing the past year – written on the first day of the new year – is inherently unoriginal).
Just a few thoughts as I review the year 2008, both in terms of this blog, and my life. So we'll start with the blog:
- Total number of visits: 16,964
- Number of posts: 122
- Post with the most views: I know sexy librarian. You, Governor, are no sexy librarian.
- Post I'd most like to re-write: See above, I wrote it quickly, knowing I'd never publish it if I thought about it too much. But it's rambly and contradictory, and if I'd known it would be popular…I don't know what I would do – let's just say I'm the queen of second guessing.
- Post that was the most fun to write: this may be the most shocking thing I've ever written. About my adventure as a vegetarian eating chocolate-covered bacon. Also fun to do the required research.
- Post that took the most time to write: how did you even know she needed glasses. My guest post at Cribsheet about Zoe and glasses. It took over 2 months to write, that whole second guessing thing is magnified when you know you're writing for a larger audience. And then I spent too long worried about that stupid bio.
- Post that generated the most comments: 8 years ago. About Chris and my 8th anniversary. That's sweet that that post gets to go on this list
- Post submitted to the Stirrup Queen's Creme de la Creme (a round up of favorite posts in the adoption, loss, and infertility blog world – if you're interested in reading infertility blogs, this is a great place to start: Last Thoughts on that Bitterness Post. This was a really hard decision for me. I almost didn't submit this year. I write about infertility far less often, and being removed from it, it isn't as visceral, and that maybe makes for less interesting posts. But I really felt like I was finally able, in this post, to put words to what still makes me angry about our infertility journey, even though the outcome was undeniably wonderful.
- and finally, my favorite post of 2008: Coffee Date.
also, on a sad note. A sad farewell to wonderful blogger, Emilie Lemmons, author of the blog Lemmondrops, who passed away in the night before Christmas Eve. I did not know her personally, but I learned much from her writing, and will miss her.
Looking forward, I want to write a bit more often, and I want to work on writing what I want and worry less about how it will be received. I want to write more about being a librarian. I want to include more photos. I want to comment more on the other blogs I read. You all write so well, and I want to be more intentional with acknowledging it.
~ ~ ~
and moving on to a review of the year for my life (this section otherwise known as, no really, Ann does spend some time away from the computer).
The hardest part was certainly Zoe's eye surgery – and yes, I realize how blessed we are that our most difficult part was having our daughter go through non-serious, outpatient surgery. Turns out that strabismus surgery is controversial in the world of childhood strabismus and amblyopia (I know, the things you learn when you delve into very specific worlds). I won't say that I'm a huge enthusiast of the surgery, I know that I would have preferred that the glasses alone could have resolved her strabismus, I still worry that she still may need another surgery, and I would not recommend it as a first course of treatment. But that said? I'm thrilled with the outcome, and optimistic (hopefully not tragically) that her vision will develop with both eyes working together.
Chris and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. Next month we'll celebrate 14 years of being together. That's crazy. My mom turned 60. I turned 33, which is an unfortunately uninteresting number. I don't think I saw any movies in the theater. Chris and I saw Ben Folds in concert, which was a lot of fun, but was in a soulless suburban nightclub. I started to get into the rhythm of working a 4 day week and still love my job. My garden somehow produced despite my almost criminal neglect. Our little family went out our first vacation, just the three of us, and had a fantastic time on the north shore. I was excited by the election and enjoyed the chance to vote for a president that I really wanted – and not against their opponent.
Looking forward, I'll celebrate 5 years at my job. I want to work on being more focused, and respond to requests and questions more quickly. I want to get back into yoga. I want to be more conscientious of what I'm eating and strive to cook more, and eat less pre-packaged food. I want to be better at developing friendships.
Welcome to 2009! We're nearly out of this strange decade that no one ever figured out a name for. I hope 2009 is a far better year than 2008.

Your 'year in review' post was more of a 'my blog year in review' which is quite original! Thanks for the links – there were a few I somehow missed.
One of my best friend's son is dealing with the same strabismus problems. You are so right – there is so much controversy regarding treatment. I think she has seen four different doctors and gotten four different opinions regarding treatments. Her son turned one in July and they are staring with glasses and my friend really struggles with the thought of surgery. It doesn't matter if it is non-serious and outpatient – you are still sending your baby to surgery.
Thanks for the review post Ann…I'm still in a daze after 2008 (a truly awful year), and hoping that 2009 is better. I may get around to doing a summary post on my blog, I may not…but I'm glad you shared a fun summary for the rest of us!
A good start would be the chance to visit my friends in MN for sure (but not sure I really want to visit MN in Jan/Feb)!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Great post!
Also, thanks for pointing me to the Lemmondrops blog. Her blog was wonderful and I'm sorry she passed away.
awesome year! and i love those photos! what a difference hey!
Very awesome article. Honestly..
