Press Release:
Berlin based label Pentagonik has been releasing quality electronic music since 2005 and now offers up a stunning new single from Demir & Seymen complete with remixes from David Keno and Kotelett & Zadak.
Özgür Demir & Sencer Seymen have released on the label a number of times before and are a fearsome duo when it comes to killer minimal and tech house grooves. Their new single Losing My Soul is no different.
The original is a sleek and seductive bit of house music with polished beats, infectious percussive pops and clicks and shiny synths that breathe plenty of life into the track. Key to it all, though, is the breathy, sexy female vocal that floats up top and really lures you in.
Berlin's Kotelett & Zadak – of labels like Underyourskin, BBE and Tonkind – remix the track into a well-swung bit of synthetic house with prominent, poised chords, filtered vocals that bring a certain shadowiness to proceedings and plenty of silvery snares. It's dark and moody and fantastic, frankly.
Finally, David Keno, who has released on Get Physical, Made to Play and Wetyourself, turns in his version. This one is repurposed for late night dancefloors with its weird tonal scales, wavy and infectious grooves and intimate, whispered vocals.
This is yet another essential release from Pentagonik that offers three different takes on the same house track and will soundtrack many clubs in the coming months as a result.

Mr. Natwarlal is a 1979 Indian Hindi action comedy film produced by Tony Glaad (as "Tony") and directed by Rakesh Kumar. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Rekha, Ajit Khan and Amjad Khan. The music is by Rajesh Roshan, the songs are written by Anand Bakshi. The highlight of the film was a children's song sung by Amitabh Bachchan. Tony Glaad decided to take them as the writers of the film. The film was shot in Kashmir with most of the shooting done in Beerwah, Jammu and Kashmir
The name of the film and lead character were inspired by a notorious Indian conman, Natwarlal.
Getting Amitabh to sing was a gimmick that was tried for the first time in this movie. Kabhi Kabhi earlier had Amitabh use spoken verse within a melodic song, but this was the first time he sang in a movie. This was subsequently copied by other filmmakers in films like Laawaris, Silsila and Pukar.
As per a trade guide, which was premium box-office publication in the 1970s and 1980s, Mr. Natwarlal was a " Super Hit".[1] In today's lenient classification system, Mr. Natwarlal is easily a blockbuster.
Natwar is a young boy, when his beloved older brother and caretaker, police officer Gridharilal (Ajit Khan), is framed for bribery by sinister criminal mastermind Vikram (Amjad Khan). When he grows up, Natwar (Amitabh Bachchan) creates a secret identity for himself, posing as a powerful and mysterious underworld figure named Mr. Natwarlal, determined to slowly but surely exact vengeance on Vikram. Gridharilal does not understand his motives and develops a grudge against him. Natwar learns from Mickey, an infamous underworld figure and Vikram's former ally, who is posing as a burnt man, that Vikram is in a village called Chandanpur and wants a diamond necklace, which is in the possession of Fakirchand, one of Mickey's allies. Natwar steals the necklace, unknown to everyone present there and leaves for Chandanpur, after apologising to an asleep Gridharilal about the troubles he has given to him. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Mickey also wants to exact revenge on Vikram for betraying him. He reveals that Vikram is terrorising the villagers using a tiger. Meanwhile, Natwar arrives at Chandanpur, disguised as Avtaar Singh, a hunter whom Vikram had already killed, unknown to everyone.
- Amitabh Bachchan as Natwarlal
- Rekha as Shanno
- Amjad Khan as Vikram Singh
- Ajit Khan as Inspector Girdharilal
- Kader Khan as Mukhiya / Baba
The music was composed by Rajesh Roshan and the lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi.
Rajesh Roshan was nominated for Best Music Director award for the film; Laxmikant Pyarelal received the award for Sargam that year.

So ..my guess was very incorrect http://blogs.msdn.com/pranavwagh/archive/2006/08/1... it looks like it was real big..! XNA team announced during the Gamefest 2006-event in Seattle, the XNA Game Studio Express. Like the name says, it is a development tool to allow developers, hobbyists and students to write games for the PC and XBox360. (and its free..!). It was created to tackle with the following issues..
- Most of the people on game teams are artists and story tellers, yet all of the "telling" is owned by the coders, who would rather work on engines.
- There is very little innovation because of financial risk averseness.
- Burnout on teams is very high, and there aren't enough new people coming out of the schools to backfill.
- Even if you do get a relevant degree, it is hard to get into the industry because of a certain amount of elitism.
- It is too hard to build games – in the technical code build sense. Art assets are complicated and intertwined and your C++ linker doesn't do anything to help.
- Creating a game is hard. The APIs, tools and such have all been written with the expert coder in mind. Unfortunately, the best game designers are usually not the best coders.

5 key pieces of a 'TrumpCare' plan that could affect your health
The House on Friday voted to join the Senate in approving a budget resolution that puts GOP lawmakers and President-elect Donald Trump on a politically fraught legislative path to eventually repealing and replacing the Affordable Care Act, President Obama's signature 2010 health insurance program that currently insures more than 20 million Americans.
The 227 to 198 vote in the Republican-controlled House to begin the perilous process was motivated more by GOP lawmakers' disdain for Obamacare and its soaring premiums and out of pocket costs than out of conviction their party has a far superior replacement plan waiting in the wings. Four committees in the House and Senate now must report back to the Senate and House Budget Committees by Jan. 27 with specific language for eviscerating key provisions of the law, including taxes, premium subsidies and mandates.
Related:Congress Is Headed for a Showdown With Trump Over Obamacare Repeal
Then the GOP leadership must sell the final package to their members in the House and the Senate before holding final votes in the two chambers. But that, in the greater scheme of things, will be the easy part, since special budget reconciliation rules being utilized by the GOP will require a simple majority vote in the two chambers to pass the resolution.
See Gallery
The heavy lifting will come when the leaders must craft and sell a legitimate and workable replacement program to Republican rank and file as well as some moderate Democrats, whose support will be critical in pushing through a replacement plan without the reconciliation protections. Without reconciliation, it will take at least 60 votes in the Senate to adopt new health care legislation. Right now, the Republicans hold a narrow 52 to 48 majority, which is not nearly enough to work their will.
While there are numerous differences between the three approaches, all share at least five things in common that are likely to be retained when GOP leaders and health care experts turn their attention to the drawing board and produce a first draft of TrumpCare. Here are brief summaries:
State operated "high-risk pools." Before the advent of Obamacare, older and sicker Americans who had trouble buying private insurance because of the prohibitive premium costs turned to states for assistance in purchasing more reasonably priced coverage in subsidized insurance pools. If Republicans repeal Obamacare, these older and sicker people likely will need help high-risk the states in finding relatively affordable coverage. Ryan and others are discussing providing states with at least $25 billion to help ease their financial burden. Some critics say the old system didn't work very well, and that many of the insurance plans were inadequate.
Related: Obamacare Repeal Could Push Rural Hospitals to the Brink
Refundable tax credits for those without employer, Medicare or Medicaid coverage. Many conservatives have complained over the years that it is unfair that employer-paid premiums for health insurance are exempted from federal income taxes, while employees without coverage in the workplace must buy insurance themselves without the benefit of a tax write-off.
Ryan and Price are advocating a "refundable" tax credit that people of all income groups can use to buy coverage in the private markets. Premium payments could be directly written off individual's income tax obligations. Low-income people who pay little or no federal income tax would qualify for a tax refund to help cover their premium costs. However, some analysts say that Price's approach is far less generous than previous GOP proposals.
For one thing, there is no income test under Price's approach as there is under Obamacare. Instead, the credit is adjusted for age, with older Americans getting the lion's share of the benefit. The credit would provide $1,200 for someone 18 to 35 to purchase an annual policy, $2,100 for those 35 to 50, and $3,000 for those who are 50 and over. At a time of steadily mounting premiums and out-of-pocket costs, the Price approach would likely cover just a fraction of Americans' annual health insurance costs.
Health Savings Accounts. These tax-exempt accounts are a fixture in many workplaces, and the Republicans would provide incentives to employers and employees to expand their use. The idea is to encourage workers to sock away money for unexpected or uncovered medical expenses throughout the year. Employers and individuals would jointly make contributions to the accounts. There were $34.7 billion in roughly 18.2 million HSA accounts last year, according to Forbes. And if the Republicans have their way, there will be plenty more.
Related: Trump's Dilemma: Can He Repeal Obamacare Without Killing Medicare?
Selling health insurance across state lines. This idea is one of Trump's favorites, and he mentioned it frequently throughout the campaign. In effect, insurance companies could market their individual plans to consumers in any state as long as they are licensed in their home states and adhere to their home-state regulations.
However, The Wall Street Journal has reported that Trump's interstate insurance marketing plan is meeting resistance from state insurance regulators, the health insurance industry and independent health care analysts who say the approach has been tried before on a limited basis and has many shortcomings.
Converting Medicaid to a block grant program. The future of federally-funded Medicaid programs for the poor could be very much up in the air, like Trump, Ryan and Price all are pressing for major reforms and savings. The proposal would allow states to choose whether to continue to accept federal Medicaid funding as a per capita cap or to take it as a block grant – and then exercise control over how the money is spent.
Although the fiscal impact of the change is far from clear, some analysts say that the federal funding would be far below current levels. And Republican governors and state legislatures would be likely to tighten regulations for qualifying for coverage.Top Reads from The Fiscal Times

As an African-American I find this completely shameful! Then again, I'm not surprised. We African-Americans in the church want all the rights we can get, yet are quick to discriminate against Gays.
Like Marty Klein says so eloquently, how quickly we as Blacks forget the discrimination we faced by White "Christians".
An excellent read.

On the inside back cover of our weekly order of worship is the list of principles by which we intend to as a Christian community. Although the word "value" as a noun is a relatively recent addition to English parlance, it has become a common term in organizational management, where it is usually defined as something like "guiding principles."When I use the term I mean something far deeper. For me, a value is a statement about being over, against, doing, or having. A value answers the question, Who or what are you? Are you honest, kind, faithful, loving, Christ-like, hard-working, truthful—these things express who you are rather than what you do.
When I work with church groups I suggest that the values they express can be used to measure and justify decision making. That is, as a faith community we will do this or the other—or not—because of who we believe we are as expressed in our values. As an example, at St. Mary's Church we state that we value ROOTS, expressed as a faith community steeped in the Anglican tradition, and committed to the historic creeds and the centrality of Scripture, all of it interpreted in the context of local life and needs.
Recently, two of them have arisen in conversations fairly frequently: Hospitality and Sanctuary.
Hospitality is expressed as being a welcoming community, no matter who you are, where you came from, or where you are in your spiritual journey.
Sanctuary we have defined as being a safe place, for those in recovery, those who are hurting or lonely, and those who just need a place to encounter God.
These principles do have much in common, but they can also be in tension with one another. Let me give you an example . . . .
Hospitality is expressed as being a welcoming community, no matter who you are, where you came from, or where you are in your spiritual journey.
Sanctuary we have defined as being a safe place, for those in recovery, those who are hurting or lonely, and those who just need a place to encounter God.
These principles do have much in common, but they can also be in tension with one another. Let me give you an example . . . .
As fellowship time was winding down on Sunday, May 15, a gentleman came into the front lobby and asked if there was any food available for him. (I was not a participant in the conversation that followed, but I did overhear much of it.) Apparently, he was quite convinced that this little church would have something like substantial food supplies available, especially for people like himself. When offered a sampling of the goodies offered at fellowship, he threw them on the floor and demanded "real" food.
Up to this point the conversation had been fairly reserved, the exception being his escalating demand for food. When it became clear that we could not meet his he was asked to leave.
So, I ask you: were we being hospitable and were we providing sanctuary for this individual?
There is an argument that can be made that we might have gone further out of our way to address his demands. However, his behavior was becoming increasingly belligerent, and it was becoming clear, at least to me, as it was to those engaging the gentleman, that we were not going to be able to respond to him in the way that he expected or wanted. The judgment made by those engaging with him was that any kind of real relationship, human to human, was not going to be possible. Sadly, but realistically, he needed to leave. (If he had appeared sick, confused, or too addled to be safe on his own, we would have made some phone calls.)
What this event illustrates is the "bottom line" in our efforts to be hospitable and to provide sanctuary: Are you willing to be in a human relationship with me, or are you going to place demands or conditions on our relationship with which I cannot live?
In talking with the people with whom I regularly work, I have stated repeatedly that "no one in this church will get into trouble for having called 911." Why? Because personal safety trumps hospitality. "If you hear or suspect or know of any situation regarding child or elder abuse, call 911 first. Then, call me." The child's safety is paramount. "The support groups that meet here have permission to use our facilities. Their members do not have permission to use us."
We will be working this year to clarify and change, if need be, our values, those statements that guide our decision making. Your participation is essential. What are the values you would like to see St. Mary's Church express?Peter+

Hey MonsteRisers,
I don't mean to get all sappy on you, but I grieve a LOT! Sometimes over things that seem trivial. Like the ripe avocado I bought five days ago, or my favorite skirt that is now too tight around the middle, or when it rains.
I know that all sounds trite. But that's my point. Grief manifests like a chameleon. It can show up in unsuspecting ways. Beyond what we believe is culturally and socially acceptable. Even in times when there's a loss, it can feel confusing and painful.
When I lost my mother more than eight years ago, the pain of losing her was unbearable. At times it still feels as raw and real to me as it did the day I sat staring at her casket. There are no words I can write now to describe it, except to share an excerpt from a whole chapter that I wrote about Grief in my book Don't Look at the Monster.
Each morning, I'd drag myself out of bed, open my laptop, and just stare at it, just stare at it, trying so desperately to muster up the energy to do what I'd promised Ma I would do.
Heartbroken, I'd march into my bedroom, undress, wrap myself back up in my blankets, and sleep. I didn't want to eat. I didn't want to think, I didn't want to live. Not without Ma.
I hated Grief.
Grief pulled me into a dark, dark place and snapped me like a twig. There were days when I just curled into a fetal position and cried, and nights when Grief ripped me from what little sleep I was getting and reminded me of what I would've, should've, could've done. Grief made me walk into the grocery store, the bank, Target, Walmart, and break down. Grief told me it was my fault that Ma was gone.
Grief would knock me down one day and pick me up the next, telling me that it was okay to let it go. Just let it go, Grief encouraged. Let it go…
Now Grief was the closest thing I had to God.
When we lose someone the emotional distress and turmoil what we experience can be devastating. Even so, we can also experience similar distress when we lose something that we intrinsically value like our freedom, identity, a friendship or relationship, health, job, home, pet, a cherished dream.
Whatever the loss, it's personal! Therefore, you shouldn't feel guilty or apologetic or believe that Grief is only fitting for certain types of loss.
In fact, in the article Coping with Grief and Loss, HelpGuide.org points out:
"Grief is a highly individual experience; there's no right or wrong way to grieve. How you grieve depends on many factors, including your personality and coping style, your life experience, your faith, and how significant the loss is to you."
It goes on to point out that there are many myths and facts about Grief. Among them are:
- The pain will go away faster if you ignore it.
- It's important to "be strong" in the face of loss.
- If you don't cry, it means you aren't sorry about your loss.
- Grieving should last about a year.
- Moving on with life means forgetting about your loss.
I think it's safe to say that if you've experienced Grief, you can relate to one or more of these myths.
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, the Swiss-American psychiatrist that pioneered the theory on the five stages of grief (Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, Acceptance), said of the model:
"They were never meant to help tuck messy emotions into neat packages. They are responses to loss that many people have, but there is not a typical response to loss, as there is no typical loss. Our grieving is as individual as our lives."
So the next time Grief shows up, know that your reaction is very much your own. You have the right to grieve however or for as long as you need, and the one thing that you should consider is time.
XO… Stay inspired!

Last year's winners included Bristile Roofing for providing source separation at construction sites - reclaiming roofing tile offcuts for recycling and re-use - and Perth Zoo for converting animal waste into compost.
Emmanuel Catholic College teacher Kylie Kingdon was named 2016 Waste Champion for introducing initiatives to recycle 90 per cent of the school's soft drink cans and use canteen food scraps to nourish worm farms.
Individuals, businesses, local governments, schools, community organisations and State Government agencies have until 5pm on June 23, 2017 to nominate for an Infinity Award.
The Infinity Awards will be announced on September 14, 2017 at the Waste and Recycling Conference.
For more information, or to nominate for an award, visit http://www.wasteauthority.wa.gov.au/programs/cie/infinity-awards

Good Intentions in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blogby AdrianFohr
Penny is seeking signatures to turn a condemned building into a homeless shelter. She sings to passersby: 'Only need to sing your name, don't even need to read it.' While this is a good strategy for Penny to take, it would probably be irresponsible for others to sign a petition without reading it. This is true because sadly many institutions which are intended to help the poor actually end up hurting the very people who they are intended to help. Good intentions are not enough, to actually do good a philanthropist needs to learn to think like an economist.
Penny for the Poor
Penny, the love interest in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, is out gather signatures for a petition to which would turn a condemned building into a homeless shelter. She works for a nonprofit called Caring Hands.

Play with kids, play like kids, even play without kids – it brings benefit for your children too!
by nprotopopov / Sunday, 08 November 2015 / Published in papamama blog
Play with kids, play like kids, even play without kids – it brings benefit for your children too!
Recently british scientists made an experiment: in a room full of various and interesting toys there were unshered several famlies (parents and their kids) and asked them to wait for a while.
The room was kept under surveillance.
The parents divided into three groups. Frist sat still and waited and hissed at their kids prohibiting they to touch toys or even to stand and play. The second group of parents forgot about thier age and began to play with toys themself even didn't pay attention what their kid was doing.
The last group of parent started to engage thier kids to discover the room and toys around, guide and steer them playing toherther.
Then the researchers assesed the level of developement of children in the groups. It wasn't a surprise that kids from the first group shown the weakest result.
however it suprisingly unexpected that the boys and girls from the last group got ahead the rest ones even the kids who were guided and oversawn by parents.
If you like to play like a child and enjoy the game, be sure it benefits on your kids eventialy

Creating the real Hyperboria in the North
Luleå, Sweden, is actually not that far away from Hyperborea. Note: I'm actually talking about the Cjdns mesh network, Hyperboria, not any mythical utopia. Background I've been thinking of running a mesh network since ~4 years ago when I and a classmate had a school project where we tried to make an Cjdns network that was easy to join for everyone using a user friendly captive portal.

Order Swiss Castle Country Cheese Fondue
This Swiss Castle Country Style Cheese Fondue has a more rustic, stronger taste than the Traditional recipe has - but it is still made using the time-honored Swiss fondue recipe with Emmental, Gruyere and Tilsit cheeses with potato starch, wine, and fruit brandy added to give it a smooth creamy texture.
Preparation is simple: Cut open the pouch and empty the contents into a fondue pot (electric or earthenware) and warm up to just below boiling.
Wonderful as a romantic meal for two, or as an appetizer or hors d'oeuvre at a party! Serve with a firm bread cut into one inch squares, or with bite size pieces of fruit or vegetables. Apples, brocoli, etc.
A nice alternative to traditional bullion fondue for vegetarians too.
The boxed, foil-sealed 14 ounce packets may be stored unrefrigerated for approximately 6 to 9 months.

The common opinion is that Scania is one of the flattest parts of Sweden. It's probably true but I know there to be places that are quite the opposite. Take my hometown of Lund for example. Did you know that, between its lowest point at Klostergården to its highest point at Norra Fäladen, Lund is the town with the biggest difference of height in all of Sweden?
Well, enough talk about the "mountains" of Scania. The photo below shows the stereotype picture of Scania: a flat landscape that just seems to go on until it disappears in the horizon. Mostly it shows power lines though;).

Competency and Values
The Competency and Values Framework (CVF) replaces the Policing Professional Framework (PPF) Personal Qualities and sets out nationally recognised behaviours and values to support all policing professionals in a range of local and national processes, both now and in the future. The framework ensures that there are clear expectations of everyone working in policing which in turn will lead to standards being raised for the benefit and safety of the public.
The framework has six competencies clustered into three groups and underpinned by four values that support everything we do as a policing service;
• Resolute, Compassionate and Committed
o We are emotionally aware
o We take ownership
• Inclusive, Enabling and Visionary Leadership
o We are collaborative
o We deliver, support and Inspire
• Intelligent, Creative and Informed Policing
o We analyse critically
o We are innovative and open minded
Each cluster has an explanation of why that area is important, and includes a description and a list of examples of the types of behaviours that are expected in that competency area
Each competency is split into three levels which can be matched to working levels rather than ranks, broadly outlined as such :
• Level 1 - Practitioner
• Level 2 - Supervisor/Middle Manager
• Level 3 - Senior Manager/Executive
These levels are intended to be used flexibly, to allow for a better fit with both frontline and non-frontline policing roles. The levels are designed to be cumulative, so those working at higher levels should also demonstrate each preceding level's behaviours.
This value links to the principle of integrity from the Code of Ethics.
This value links to the principles of fairness and objectivity from the Code of Ethics.
Public Service
This value links to the principles of respect and selflessness from the Code of Ethics.
This value links to the principles of honesty and openness from the Code of Ethics.
Resolute, Compassionate and Committed
How we conduct ourselves in our service and the values that underpin our behaviour are a key part of our thought processes and relationships. Empathy means listening to the public, colleagues and partners, responding directly and quickly, and having a genuine interest in ourselves and others. We are always focused on doing our best for the public and our customers.
By understanding our thoughts and the values behind our behaviour, we can maintain a professional and resolute stance, demonstrate accountability and stand by the police service's established values to maintain the service's professional legitimacy.
Inclusive, Enabling and Visionary Leadership
We are all able to work together independently and recognise the need to act as leaders, whether in a formal line management capacity or when engaging and motivating colleagues and the public to get involved or have their voices heard.
Whether we are setting a vision, planning ahead to optimise resources for the best possible outcomes or leading a cross-sector partnership, we work across organisations and sectors to achieve excellence in public service.
Intelligent, Creative and Informed Policing
We are open to new sources of information, continuously developing our own knowledge to help the police service to grow and change in line with new challenges and stay at the forefront of public service.
Informed analysis and creativity are critical to what we do. They sit at the heart of our thinking and our decisions, meaning that effective and critical problem solving is second nature to us. Balancing our decisiveness with consideration and evidence-based approaches, we are able to challenge our thinking and draw on multiple diverse sources of information for new ways of thinking and working.

Georgia Cop Gets Shot, Blames Black Man, Gets Charged with Fabricating Story
Sherry Hall was two months into the job as a Georgia police officer when she came across a scary black man who shot her before escaping into the woods, sparking an intense manhunt that was followed by the usual condemnation of Black Lives Matter on social media.
But as we've seen so many times before, Hall had fabricated the entire story.
And now the Jackson police officer is facing four felonies.
Hall, who was careful to keep her dash camera turned off, did not realize investigators could still find ways to expose her lies.
Or maybe she didn't expect the Georgia Bureau of Investigation to spend 600 hours investigating the shooting that took place on September 13, 2016 where she reportedly was shot in the abdomen, but protected by her bulletproof vest.

google_ad_slot = "3606839893";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 600;
According to a statement released from the GBI Friday.
Earlier today, the GBI secured four criminal arrest warrants through the Superior Court of the Towaliga Judicial Circuit on Sherry Hall. They are as follows: False Statements, Tampering with Evidence, Interference with Government Property, and Violation of Oath of Office.
After following the leads and evidence, the investigation has now revealed that there is no, and never was, a suspect shooter at large in Jackson, Georgia.
The GBI was requested by the Jackson Police Department to independently investigate both the Officer Involved Shooting/ Use of Force and the alleged Aggravated Assault of a Police Officer. The GBI Milledgeville Office committed all available assets and resources, which included personnel from two regional offices. To date, there have been in excess of 600 investigative work hours expended on this investigation and certain aspects of this investigation are still ongoing.
The alleged incident began at approximately 12:08 a.m. on Tuesday, September 13, 2016 when Sherry Hall called out over

A little tool for reading and creating SYSTEM.CNF, mostly used for homebrew from disc.
The "Read" section is pretty simple as for the "Create" section,
in ELF: just type the name of the elf with proper names,
or in other simple words the name of the ELF to be loaded.
NOTE: DO NOT ADD BOOT2 or ;1 and the end, PS2 CNF adds them for you.
VER is usually a number, does not matter too much , if you are not sure just write 1.00
And in Vmode you only have 3 options pick one.
Then click save, and you are done.
NOTE: The 4 line on the SYSTEM.CNF is also added.
Install .Net framework if you get any errors.

Our story
A trip to Australia was the catalyst that established the world's largest toy weapons manufacturer.
Behind Huss Group are the Huss Brothers, Benjamin and Stefan. In 2004, while holidaying in Australia, the brothers experienced the live-gaming thrill of laser game, and decided on the spot that they had to bring the idea back to their homeland of Germany.
Soon after they founded Lasergame Group, which today boasts across Europe and has secured a position as a market leader in toy weapons and live-gaming.
While establishing Lasergame in Scandinavia, Benjamin developed an interest in Denmark's thriving entrepreneurial scene, and since 2014 he has acquired a number of promising Danish companies.
Beside the desire to create and support growth within the start-up sector, Stefan and Benjamin recognised the value in gathering a portfolio of innovative companies across diverse sectors under one umbrella. Through this approach, Huss Group now has a suite of skills and competencies that can easily collaborate across industries and on an international platform.
In time, Huss Group has established a wide-reaching network and solid experience in economic development, sales, management, and marketing. Which makes it possible to support startups I different countries.
Beside of entrepreneurship, Stefan and Benjamin have a big passion for sport. They have several sponsorships, which gives them a good knowledge about what it takes, to do a successful deal in sport.
If you have an interesting company, or a unique start-up idea, and are in need of assistance, you are always welcome to get in touch with us.
Brothers in arms
Benjamin Huss
Benjamin moved to Denmark in 2008, where he is now based in Aarhus. He was 14 years old when his brother had the idea of developing lasergame equipment. His main focus is in investing in and cultivating a diverse yet cohesive suite of startups and businesses that can and are helping each other. Once a professional handball player, Benjamin's sporting background has led him to take an interest in companies within the sports sector, or that are active in their pursuit to grow and succeed. He is an accomplished salesperson with extensive marketing knowledge and is passionate about entrepreneurship and developing businesses with heart.

Serenity and gratitude
It's called a royal water lily, and I can see why, because this one is luxurious. I sat beside it, and marvelled, feeling my soul unfold and come to rest in the serenity of pure being. Such gratitude for the beauty and peace that has been created here, flowering out of the city's chaos on a wet, windy Friday.
4 comments:
Juliet, this is so beautiful in picture and in sentiment. The feeling of glad can be felt floating across the wide oceans and lands that divide us - but the same grateful feeling resides.

Thank you for this lovely comment, Penny. I like that phrase 'the feeling of glad', imagining it floating across the oceans, and knowing that you have it too.

I love the burnished quality the light makes on the lily pads.
Nice to find peace and solace in the midst of a busy city environment.

Thanks Lynley - 'burnished' is exactly the word for it.

The Nordic nations have a reputation for gender equality, topping all sorts of league tables measuring the advancement of women. But oddly enough, when it comes to executive directors Norway and Finland are way down the ranks, despite taking the two top spots for the overall percentage of female company directors, according to research by headhunter Egon Zehnder.
Norway, Sweden and Finland have been consistently good at promoting women to the boardroom, topping the table back in 2010. In contrast, countries such as the UK, France and Italy have staged a huge turnaround in the last four years, the latter increasing the percentage of female directors from just 5% in 2010 to 20.2% now.
The UK, meanwhile, is fast approaching the target of having 25% female directors by next year, recommended by Lord Davies in his 2011 review. From just 13.3% of directors being female in 2010, 22.6% of board positions are now held by women.
But the Scandinavian countries bar Sweden, and European nations in general, appear to be trailing the rest of the world when it comes to women in executive roles. The six companies examined in Finland have none, as do the seven in Norway (the research only looked at companies with a turnover of more than €4bn (£3.1bn)). That's despite the latter having a 40% quota for female directors - clearly non-execs are easier to appoint quickly, than pulling executive women up the ranks ahead of plan.
In contrast to their reputation in the west, Indonesia, Turkey and Russia actually rank ahead of the the UK, US and Australia for women in executive roles, according to the study. While the UAE ostensibly leads the way on this front, there is one female exec director out of four positions in total, with the remaining 41 non-execs all men.
But for all countries, companies seem to be struggling to grow their own female leaders, as opposed to just appointing female non-exec directors from outside. Clearly, a lot of businesses need to work harder at nurturing and promoting talented women.

352. Poland #11
Poland's current voivodeships (
) are largely based on the country's historic regions, whereas those of the past two decades (to 1998) had been centred on and named for individual cities. The new units range in area from less than 10,000 square kilometres (3,900 sq mi) for
Opole Voivodeship
to more than 35,000 square kilometres (14,000 sq mi) for
Masovian Voivodeship
. Administrative authority at voivodeship level is shared between a government-appointed voivode (governor), an elected regional assembly (sejmik) and an executive elected by that assembly.
The voivodeships are subdivided into powiats (often referred to in English as counties), and these are further divided into gminas (also known as communes or municipalities). Major cities normally have the status of both gmina and powiat.
Poland has 16 voivodeships
, 379 powiats (including 65 cities with powiat status), and 2,478 gminas.

In their shoes
Thank you Ms. Frost for going through that course. The public never knows what our officers go through and what their reactions and decisions are based on. Our officers go through many months of training before they go out on the street to protect us. It's very easy to criticize their actions when we have not been faced with the same situations, and even more so with the public shooting and killing our officers for no reason. You now have a better understanding of their job and I wish more folks could see the other side of the job hazards they face.
We are a strong Law Enforcement family and have sons and grandsons out there every day so you can imagine how my prayers go every night.
Again, thank you for gaining a better understanding of their situations.

Hey, we've just moved into our new house in Hurst, Texas and are busy as a Buzzz Bee.
While we were in the process of moving, I received a really great email from the Alec Wilder Yahoo Group. (If you aren't familiar with Alec Wilder's music for clarinet, check it out! His clarinet sonata and trio for clarinet, horn and piano are especially good.) The email had the below YouTube video to Alec Wilder's Slow Dance.
This recording was from a World War II era V-Disc. The original recording was done on December 10, 1945 with Frank Sinatra conducting. Yes, that right! Frank Sinatra conducting! Slow Dance was later released on the album, Frank Sinatra Conducts the Music of Alec Wilder.
There is some very nice clarinet playing on the recording. Sound like two and maybe three clarinetists. Wikipedia lists clarinetists Jimmy Carroll, Reggie Merrill and Toots Mondello as possibly on the recording.
ClarinetMike says, "Check out this video and the clarinet music of Alec Wilder."


text: Here is a photo of a pyrography project I recently completed. The patten for the project is from Lora Irish's "Great Book of Woodburning". Lora is a very talented artist, and I learn a lot from her books. This picture will be a birthday gift to my oldest son, Roger, who is a fire fighter in our town. He (obviously) does not look anything like the character in the picture, but I hope he will enjoy the completed project. The colors in the picture are done with watercolors, and the finish is water based lacquer. The frame is teak, since I had a piece that was about the right size. I had fun making it, and I hope you enjoy seeing it as well.

Boston Parents Paper 2012 Family Favorites: Attractions and Adventures
Favorite Museum
Museum of Science
Get close to dinosaurs, jam out to a rock 'n roll light show, and watch a shark feeding frenzy in 3-D.

Kids will love Easton's Beach, with its carousel and snack bar (featuring a famous twin lobster sandwich on buttered rolls).

For 8 months now I have had a chatroom featuring my Redwork Mystery. My mystery has just finished and I am about to move into a brand new classroom at Shining Needle Society. Tomorrow, on Thanksgiving, Shining Needle Society will officially open my new classroom and welcome anyone who wants to join.
I hope you will join me for a series of online projects, classes and play, lots of surprises and along the way small exercises to encourage creativity in needlework. Membership is free, just write to firstname.lastname@example.com and she will send you an invitation.
At Callaway last year, Jennifer Taylor took a wonderful collage photograph using a small grouping of my projects. I think Jennifer Taylor is nothing short of amazing and the photo she took is my favorite photo ever taken of my work. Clever Kate posted the photo as the logo-photo in my new classroom, so right away I was at home there.
We hope you will come to see one amazing photograph and let us welcome you officially.
See you at Shining Needle Society!

Spiritual Life Coaching – Gratitude
Recently there have been a number of people taking a gratitude challenge or a thankfulness challenge on Facebook. They go for several days listing things that they are grateful for. It might seem like a fad, much like the ice bucket challenge, but there is more to it than that. Gratitude has some real quantifiable and healthy side effects.
"Thousands of years of literature talk about the benefits of cultivating gratefulness as a virtue," says University of California Davis psychology professor Robert Emmons. In fact gratitude as both behavior and virtue is integral to health and well-being. A recent movement called "positive psychology," has mental health professionals taking a closer look at how this behavior can benefit our health. And they're reaping some promising results.
Just to give you a few of the highlights these researchers have found that it helps dealing with stress, it boosts the immune system, and it helps people face significant losses. Christopher Peterson, PhD, at the University of Michigan posted a survey, attributing a surge in gratitude among Americans post 9/11 that had a sense of increased belonging. These feelings offered more than community building. Gratitude in the aftermath of 9/11 helped buffer people against the negative effects of stress, making them less likely to suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, explains Emmons.
Here are just a few ideas for the week:
1) Keep some gratitude post-it-notes around your house to remind you.
2) Keep a journal of things that inspire gratitude in the face of loss or illness.
3) Create a list of benefits in your life so you don't take them for granted.
4) Talk to yourself in more optimistic and appreciative ways.
5) Take a different look at a situation you face in which you have a more positive attitude.
6) Take a break, get some rest, change your routine so that you get a different perspective.
7) Post things that you are grateful for on one of the social media sites so you encourage your friends and are reminded of the benefits of gratefulness.
8) Share this post with three people. (I'm smiling now.)
Maybe this is just the thing to help you start your week off right. Mondays can be down days for lots of people who are heading back to work after a good weekend. Don't do it. Think of the fact that you CAN go back to work, that you have the health that makes Monday the second day of the week and not the first. Think about how you can help shape someone else's attitude – keep them positive and maybe healthier as a result.
"My (children), do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments, for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you." Proverbs 3:1-2
Be Well…
