Return on Capital Employed.
This is a profitability ratio that analyzes how efficiently a company is using its capital. ROCE is computed by dividing earnings before interest and tax divided by (total assets minus current liabilities). The higher the ratio is the better. Two companies may have the same net income, but if one set of investors invested $400,000 to generate the profit and the other invested $25,000, it's better to invest the $25,000.

In an effort to regain some much needed family time, I made a decision months ago to temporarily hold off on traditional posed newborn sessions. It was a HUGE decision for me since newborn studio sessions was a large part of my business. But it was also an important decision for me too. That's when I started offering lifestyle newborn sessions... sessions that last between 60 and 90 minutes and take place in the comfort of your own home. The focus of the session is on the connection between parents, siblings and their brand new baby. I still capture newborn portraits during a lifestyle session, but spend most of the time photographing the dynamic of your new and growing family. I may offer more traditional studio sessions again in the future, but for now, I'm totally enjoying this style.
Here is a recent lifestyle newborn session. What a treat it was to photograph this sweet little girl. She slept most of the time, making it easy to capture some great newborn portraits. For those that know this baby, you'll know that she has a successful mommy and her daddy is great musician! Oh, and he's a great fisherman too! Check out Bear Point Fish Hunt Rentals in Innisfil: http://fishhutrentals.com/home
Thank you Crystal and Donny, for inviting me into your home to photograph this special time in your life.

Weekend Project
In Dec 2009 at foss.in at the maemo stall i saw a guy control a small toy car through accelerometer on his N900, i thought of replicating that but it just remained in my mind, so last Saturday i finally decided to implement it and went straight to a toy store and bought a toy RF car, one hour of hacking and i was able to control the small car through by phone (Nokia E61i) here is the video of it working.
the concept is simple, i send commands through my phone over wifi to my laptop which controls the car remote, controlling a toy car remote is very easy with a Parallel port and few transistors but laptops don't have parallel ports, so i used a micro-controller in between to sort that out, so now micro controller controls the car remote by acting on signals received over UART from laptop. the working is Phone —(WiFi)—>Laptop —(USB/UART)—> Micro controller —(Relays)—> Car Remote —(RF)—> Toy Car will post details with code sometime later

eNCA must be applauded for the live broadcast of Onkgopotse Tiro's memorial lecture delivered by Professor Patrick Lumumba on the 8th of September at the University of Limpopo, Tiro's Alma Mater.
The live broadcast was important in accentuating and disseminating Tiro's ideas and the role martyrs such as him played in South Africa's struggle for liberation. The lecture was also significant in inadvertently exposing the tendentious narrative of portraying one person and one organisation as having been the only one that took part in the liberation struggle as wrong, fallacious and misleading.
Tiro belonged to the Black Consciousness Movement which is today represented by the Azanian People's Organisation (Azapo) and other formations such as SOPA and Black Consciousness Party. The philosophy of Azapo and these other formations is Black Consciousness. Professor Lumumba didn't articulate that very important fact clearly. Professor Lumumba obfuscated the issues further when he mentioned leaders South Africa produced who he described as great. All of them were ANC leaders except Bantu Stephen Biko. He did not mention Anton Lembede, founding President of the ANCYL in 1944. He did not mention PAC leaders and only mentioned Robert Sobukwe as an after-thought when he spoke about Robben Island.
The first political prisoners to be jailed on Robben Island in modern history were PAC political prisoners and one of those political prisoners who was also the longest serving political prisoner on Robben Island was Jafta Masemola. Another great leader who went to Robben Island about thrice in his life time and was not mentioned by Professor Lumumba is Zeph Mothopeng.
I am aware the lecture was about Tiro. However, if in a lecture about Tiro the presenter mentions Robben Island and people like Albert Luthuli, Albertina Sisulu, Nelson Mandela, Chris Hani and Ahmed Kathrada, then that presenter must also mention Mothopeng, Masemola and Sobukwe prominently. (Professor Lumumba thinks Hani served time on Robben Island, no he didn't).
Lumumba mentioned Mrs Albertina Sisulu twice or thrice in his lecture as one of the great leaders. He is probably not aware of what Azapo and the family of their late fellow Black Consciousness activist Medical Doctor, Abubaker Asvat think of his assassination and Mrs Sisulu's silence on Dr Asvat killers. When Dr Asvat was gunned down in broad daylight, Mrs Sisulu was working at Dr Asvat's surgery and did not disclose the identities of his killers, in order to protect the culprit who had ordered the assassination.
If Professor Lumumba did a bit of research, he would have found out that Sobukwe is regarded as the father of Black Consciousness of which Tiro and Biko were proponents. In his 1948 Fort Hare speech, Sobukwe said, inter alia, 'we are pro Africa and anti-nobody'. Black Consciousness activists in the late 1960's and early 1970's said they were pro black and anti-nobody'. In the same speech, Sobukwe spoke of mental and spiritual freedom. In his 1959 speech, Sobukwe spoke about mental liberation.
The struggle against Bantu Education which Tiro tirelessly fought was began by struggle icons such as Zeph Mothopeng in the early 1950's when that inferior education system was first introduced and he was expelled from teaching.
Professor Lumumba referred to Mahatma Ghandi as a great leader. Here in South Africa we know that Ghandi disparaged Africans.
I failed to understand why Professor Lumumba tried to make a link between ANC leaders and Tiro in his memorial lecture when some of these ANC leaders were directly or indirectly complicit in the assassination of Tiro and ultimate covered up in the TRC of their role and that of those who assassinated Tiro.

The breed predates and is ancestral to the Griffon Bruxellois (Brussels Griffon) and Miniature Schnauzer. Dogs of the Affenpinscher type have been known since about 1600 and at that time they were a bit larger, about 12 to 13 inches.

Henry Andrews is a fictional character from the CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, portrayed by Jon Wellner. The character first made an appearance on the fifth season episode "Unbearable", which aired on February 10, 2005 in the United States.
Prior to being cast as Henry, actor Jon Wellner made a guest appearance in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation as zookeeper Sam Tracy in the fifth-season episode "Unbearable", which was broadcast on February 10, 2005.[1]
Wellner became a series regular in Season 13.[2]
Henry is the toxicology specialist of the Las Vegas Forensics Laboratory, mainly dealing with identifying toxic substances which have undergone human consumption. He has an impressive knowledge of lethal substances, including, but not limited to: illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages, poisons, and hazardous gases (such as carbon monoxide). He constantly exhibits a thorough understanding of the toxins' properties and effects.
He originally worked days (as he mentions in the episode Iced) but kept "getting moved around" by Ecklie. In the later seasons, he is seen more frequently working the graveyard shift. In the episode "Lab Rats," the character has a prominent role and an appreciable amount of screen time compared to previous, short-lived appearances. Wendy refers to him as one of Hodges's "lemmings".
Henry is unmarried, and often jokingly offers to marry his fellow lab tech, fingerprint analyst Mandy Webster. He goes on to reveal that his grandmother lives in a retirement home in Boca Raton, Florida, where he is shuffleboard champion. He refers to himself as a "lady killer" among the senior citizens.
By season eight, the lab technicians have superficially formed a suggested "rat pack," and provide a large amount of comic relief. The episodes "Lab Rats" and "You Kill Me" focus on this group, with Hodges once again acting as their ringleader. In each of the scenarios, Hodges personifies Henry as neurotic and easily intimidated. Henry admits to being frightened of Detective Jim Brass.
Henry often attempts to be comical or witty without avail, which is amusing in its own right. He is intelligent, friendly, and good-natured. On occasions he appears high-strung. He is analytical and digests information well, which helps him reach accurate conclusions and understand facets of human nature.

The combination of the best food and ambiance is what you expect out of the best Italian restaurants in a city. These types of dining establishments are typically known for featuring a great atmosphere. Perhaps no other restaurant in Coral Gables does this better than Cibo Wine Bar. You can find Cibo Wine Bar at 45 Miracle Mile. The lamb ragu, rice balls and polenta fries are a few of the favorites mentioned by past patrons. As the name of the restaurant suggests, you're also going to find quite a large wine list there.
Cafe Vialetto is also a very popular choice when it comes to Italian restaurants in Coral Gables. Located at 4019 South Le Jeune Road, Cafe Vialetto is known for its Miami Spice menu and then some. When you order Miami Spice, you get two courses and a dessert. Have you ever tried duck tacos? There are all kinds of great Italian dishes on the menu at Cafe Vialetto. And one of the popular desserts mentioned in the reviews is dulce de leche panna cotta.
Pummarola Coral Gables is located at 141 Aragon Avenue, and it's one of the best Italian restaurants to visit if you're wanting pizza or a calzone. The nutella crepes are a popular menu highlight as well. Pummarola Coral Gables is a hop, skip and a jump away from the Miracle Mile, so the convenient location helps, too. Are you craving brick oven pizza?
Located at 162 Alcazar Avenue is a great Italian restaurant called Zucca. It should be mentioned that Zucca is a more upscale Italian restaurant in comparison to some picks. It's good to know that so you can match the place to the occasion and experience you're wanting to have. Expect the best Italian food, the best crafted cocktails and wines and an elegant atmosphere.

Spring Forth
"Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth. Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." Isaiah 43:19 NKJV
The Lord Who Burst Through
While in Israel, I was reminded of a story that happened in Baal Perazim, which means "the Lord who bursts through." I Chronicles 14:11 NLT
It was there that God told King David to march forth when he heard the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees. When David moved with obedience in a previous battle he exclaimed, "He used me to burst through my enemies like a raging flood."
I'm compelled to encourage you to march forward. God desires to use you to defeat the enemy like a raging flood.
Spring Forth for Easter
As Easter approaches, use this time to gather your troops, prepare your team, and march forward!
Here are four tips as you prepare for your Easter Service(s):
Promote your Easter Service by inviting guests to attend.
Prepare for your Easter Service so that your guests will have a great experience when visiting.
Pray for the guests that will be attending. (Write down names of people that you know that may visit or that have been invited.)
Plan to follow-up on all guests.
In a recent Coaching Event with Josh Hannah, he made this statement, "it's not about the numbers, it is about the names." I agree! If we fail to get names (and phone numbers), usually there is no follow-up. If we do not follow-up, then the percentage of the guests returning anytime soon decreases significantly.
Be intentional in reaching out to the unsaved and the unchurched in your community. Put the four P's in motion – Promote, Prepare, Pray, and Plan. May you experience an overflow on Easter Sunday!
Let it Flow
I recently read of a well on an old farm place that in the most severe droughts survived and provided fresh cold water. Years later the well was abandoned due to the renovation of the old home and county water being provided in the area.
Recently, someone decided to uncover the old well and draw water. To their surprise the well had dried up. Why? Because when the well ceased from being used, mud begin to creep into the crevices' and clogged up the spring of water that previously had flowed into the well. As long as the well was used there was a steady flow. It is when it was not being used that it became dry.
As long as we allow the Holy Spirit to flow through us, we will experience God's blessings. It is often when we stop or hinder the flow that the well runs dry.
"Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, Rivers of living water will flow from his heart." John 7:38 NLT
For many it may seem that the well has ran dry. When this feeling happens to me, I examine the well, I examine my heart.
For the water to flow from the well, there has to be water in the well. I am praying for a release of God's blessings to flow in abundance in your lives. I'm not praying for "just enough" but praying for "more than enough!"
Here are five prayer points I'm praying for you:
•That your prayer life is strengthened
•That the Gifts of the Spirit will flow as you minister to others.
•That you will be able to share the message of Christ boldly
•That there is a steady flow of His provision for all of your needs.
•That relationship with other colleagues in ministry will be strengthened
I believe that 2018 will be a year of God releasing many blessings on this ministry. I look forward to seeing these things come to fruition.
"And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him." Colossians 3:17 NKJV
Called by God
Everyone has a unique story to tell concerning how God has called him or her into the ministry. Throughout the Bible, we see the examples of many heroes of the faith–all of which had a unique story in which God revealed their callings. Often times, I find that many people today struggle with identifying their calling or purpose in life.
"But God does not keep secret what he wants you to do." -Charles Stanley
Through our relationship with Him and the study of God's Word, we can identify our purpose in life. Not all of us will have a "burning bush" experience or see the "hand- writing on the wall". However, everyone can discover and know without a doubt the purpose in which they have been called.
In 2 Peter 1:3-4, I found these promises for those that are called into ministry.
1. His divine power has already given us everything required for life and godliness.
2. He has given us great and precious promises, which gives us the capability to escape the corruption that is in the world because of evil desire.
In 2 Peter chapter one, the writer also encourages goodness, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, and love to add to our faith. If we possess these things in increasing measure then they will keep us from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus.
"God doesn't call the qualified but he qualifies the called." If He has called you, he will equip you. Look for the gifts that God has given you. Seek these attributes in 2 Peter and you will continue to grow in knowledge. Discover your passions. Be obedient by serving God and serving his people.
God's Multiplication Principle
The miracle of the "feeding of the five thousand" recorded in John 6:1-14 is a story of not one miracle, but a story of thousands of miracles on one day. Every person received at least one miracle on that day; they were able to eat and there were fragments of bread left over.
I strongly believe that when we bring our gifts to the Lord collectively, those gifts are used to accomplish the purposes of God. This is true, but this is only the addition principle. There is also a multiplication principle that God uses among his people. I also believe that this multiplication principle works in our homes and in our churches.
Often in the home, husband and wife, and sometimes children, will pull their resources together to cover the cost of living. In the church, the congregation gives on Sunday which collectively helps to provide for the ministry cost of the church. Even in our city, county, and country, we pay taxes that collectively help to cover the cost of many of the needs of our region. This is the addition principle and it helps, but we also need God's multiplication principle at work in our personal life and in the life of our churches.
Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, looked at the gift in this story of the lad, five barley loaves, and two small fish, and simply stated to the Lord, "Here is a lad with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?" Andrew was thinking addition, but Jesus was thinking multiplication.
"When you add God to the equation, His output always exceeds your input." Mark Batterson
With Jesus he did not need five lads each with five loaves of barley bread and two small fish, he only needed one lad willing to give his lunch to feed the multitude.
Jesus took the bread, gave thanks to God for the provision, broke the bread and fish, and distributed the gift to the disciples so they could distribute to the multitude. Jesus took what was given in the natural and used it supernaturally. The natural process of obtaining bread involved a time of growing, harvesting, winnowing, grinding, mixing, and baking. But Jesus bypassed the natural process to implement the supernatural with the bread, and he did the same with the fish.
I encourage you to pray over the talents that you use for Him. Even pray over your income. Sounds trivial, but I believe God desires for His people to prosper and for his ministry to prosper. Ask Him to take what you give in the natural and use it supernaturally. Don't let what you do not have hinder what you do have to give. Give to God with a cheerful heart, and ask Him to multiply your gift for the miracles of others.

I do not think I have ever seen such a big advertisement and marketing push for windows phone or any of the windows based phones ever. I recently posted about how CNN was running an ad for their windows phone app and today I noticed that ESPN is running an ad for Nokia Lumina 900 and their Windows phone app. The top banner add on ESPN even says, "Introducing the only smartphone with the exclusive ESPN hub". Does windows phone garner that much attention for ESPN to make a specific features available to only windows phone and the Lumnia 900? I am starting to think these ad are more of a partnership than anything. Anyone have any new theories on these ads? Anyone know the cost to run an ad like this on a site as big as ESPN or CNN?
Home Uncategorized More Nokia/Windows Phone Ads on Major Sites than Ever?
More Nokia/Windows Phone Ads on Major Sites than Ever?
Nokia definitely is striking partnerships all around. That is why despite what talking analysts are saying the future looks bright for Nokia. They doubled their sales of Lumia devices quarter over quarter. They are spending big on mindshare and that is important.
I've noticed Nokia ads on all the major blogging sites and webpages I frequent daily, even Manga and Anime sites.
I have seen an ad on MSN couple of months back. After that I haven't seen one. Dialy I visit MSN, which is default homepage on IE anyway.

The Truman Method for greatness worked for Harry. It can work for you.
Recommended biographies for your consideration
But I don't want to read biographies of dead people! Its boring! Show me another way because I'm just not a reader.
Luck and its impact on success
The Truman Method to Greatness
Harry Truman was a voracious reader, and it was said that he read every book in the city library. He was particularly fond of history and biography. I have noticed that many "rags-to-riches" stories begin with a young man or woman from humble circumstances who develops the habit of reading books. They borrow books from the library or friends. If you can read, you can educate yourself in any subject. We can imagine the young Truman in the Independence High School library, reading about the lives of famous and admirable people and imagining how he might live his own life.
Truman said that when he was having trouble making a decision or deciding upon a course of action, he would often imagine how a certain admirable person might deal with that problem. This ability was based on the many biographies he had read. A psychologist might say that Truman used this technique as a device to visualize courses of action that he would otherwise be inhibited from imagining. Cincinnatus, Caesar, Washington, Lincoln, and other heroes - in Truman's imagination - always did the right thing, the courageous thing, the noble thing, the unselfish thing, the correct thing. Heroic action is bold and decisive. In modeling himself after his heroes and imagining how their heroic personalities might deal with the problems he himself faced, Truman was able to free his imagination to devise bolder and grander solutions than it otherwise might. Truman was apparently a humble man and a modest man. He found it difficult to imagine himself as a great man. But Truman's capable mind could imagine what certain great men might do if faced with his own circumstances, and that enabled him to reach beyond the limits that his personal modesty would otherwise allow.
The Truman Method to Greatness only works if you know enough about admirable people to imagine them facing and dealing with your own problems. I'm suggesting here that reading a few good biographies might be a way to fill your mind with the biographical material necessary to use the Truman Method. Just below this panel is a short list of favorite biographies that I recommend to you.
But, if you don't like to read books, then it will do you no good to stare glumly at the pages of a thick biography like a sulky sixth grader doing algebra homework when all of your girlfriends are at the mall. I am acquainted with a number of very intelligent people who do not enjoy reading books. Some of them are college professors who consider reading to be a chore done only at work but they do not associate reading with pleasure, like a flight attendant might not enjoy flying across country on vacation. When I visit their homes, I am struck by the complete absence of bookshelves. If this is you, then skip the list of biographies immediately below and jump straight to my recommendations for those who hate biographies.
Recommended Biographies
My personal policy is that I can only recommend to my readers books that I myself have read, enjoyed, and benefited from. It may well be that there are better books than these, so do not be reluctant to shop around. My own interests lean toward politics, history, philosophy, history of science, history of religion, psychology, personality theory, technology, science fiction, and detective novels. I do not read biographies, for example, of show business personalities or the autobiographies of corporate CEOs. If your desire is to become a movie actress or CEO of General Electric, then I can't recommend anything to you. You will have to do some hunting on the Amazonor BarnesandNoble web sites yourself. Of course, any book store or web site has pretty much the same same books at pretty much the same price, so shop where you like.
Here is a short list of a few of my own favorite biographies.
Harry Truman - Truman's own remarkable and highly readable Memoirs provide a guided tour of his own attitudes and personality. The two-volume set is out of print now, but used copies are widely available for less than five bucks. David McCullough's masterful biography of Truman is a splendid work and initiated my own fascination with the man. I recommend it without reservation. Do not be surprised to discover that Truman was one of America's most decisive, courageous, and unpopular presidents.
Abraham Lincoln - Of the hundreds of biographies of Lincoln, I have only read one, by Doris Kearns Goodwin. Her Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln is yet another superb book by an superb writer and very capable scholar. Any Machiavellian can learn from Lincoln and no reader can be disappointed with any of Ms Goodwin's wonderful books.
Lyndon Johnson - Goodwin's biography Lyndon Johnson and the American Dream is unique in that she worked for and with Johnson while he was in power and later when he was struggling unsuccessfully with his own never-written memoirs. Lyndon Johnson was the undisputed master of American politics for a time, yet he considered himself a failure at the end of his life. How can things have gone so wrong for a man who only wanted to do good and who won the presidency by a massive landslide? The life of Lyndon Johnson contains many lessons for the Machiavellian.
Bill Gates, founder and presiding genius of Microsoft, is a remarkable man who has led an amazing life. His work has touched us all. Even now, I am writing on a Microsoft Windows PC and reviewing my work on Microsoft's Internet Explorer. The Modern Prince was written using Microsoft Word. There is a 97% chance that you are reading this using a Windows PC with Internet Explorer. My own reading on Bill Gates is out of date, and was focused mostly on the early days of the PC industry. There are two kinds of people: those who love Bill Gates and those who hate Bill Gates. You will learn something from a good biography of Bill Gates or a history of Microsoft. Young Bill (at lower left in the group photo) is shown here with the Micro-Soft staff in 1978, back when the company was in Albuquerque, NM. He has earned about $772,000 per hour since that time. He must be doing something right.
The early history of the PC industry is quite a story in itself. Anyone interested in business and marketing could benefit from reading Accidental Empires: How the Boys of Silicon Valley Make Their Millions, Battle Foreign Competition, and Still Can't Get a Date by Robert X. Cringely It is dated now, and there must be other histories available, but the writing is good and the book is still an easy, short, fascinating read.
Sam Houston was an extraordinary man. He was elected twice Congressman from Tennessee, twice Governor of Tennessee, Commanding General of the Army of Texas, Ambassador from the Cherokee Indians to the US Government (left), twice President of the independent Republic of Texas, twice Senator from the state of Texas, and twice governor of the State of Texas - an incomparable resume. He had no education and was completely self-taught. He abandoned white civilization and lived among the red Indians for years, though the Indians ultimately expelled him from their tribe out of disgust for his constant drunkenness. Houston's strategy at the Battle of San Jacinto, in which his forces defeated the superior Army of Mexico in a 17 minute battle, is still studied at military academies. He criticized the treatment of the Indian by the white man, much to the disgust of most white men. He refused to recognize the decision of Texans to secede from the United States and join the Confederacy in its hopeless (as he predicted) Civil war. Paradoxically, he was a slave owner who was infuriated when one of his own slaves ran away to Mexico where slavery was forbidden. For his opposition to secession, he was expelled from the governor's office by disgusted White Texans. He was a drunkard who gave up alcohol in middle age and was a more-or-less teetotaler thereafter. He was a terrible husband to both of his wives. His first wife divorced him in an age when divorce was a scandal. His second wife bore his children, lived in poverty, and lived most of her life alone while he was busy building his resume. Good biographies teach us that great men usually have great flaws. No matter what you think of Houston, his list of accomplishments is without equal in American history. Sam Houston by John Hoyt Williams is the only biography of Houston I've read, though there might be others that are better. I chose this one because it was the only biography of Houston that I could find in that particular bookstore at that particular time, and I was lucky to get a good one.
Cleopatra was a woman that Machiavelli would have admired if he had lived in a time that knew her history. Her enemy Octavian, who became the first emperor of Rome, wanted nothing more than to murder Cleopatra himself. Cheated of that opportunity by her suicide, he made sure that she was described as a political whore who screwed men for political advantage. That is the description that was known to Machiavelli. Fortunately, Cleopatra's real history is now better known to us thanks to twentieth century scholarship. Cleopatra was a queen descended from the brother of Alexander the Great. She was an amateur philosopher and scholar, though if she wrote anything it is unknown to history. She bedded and gave sons to two of the three greatest men in the world: Caesar and Anthony. She did this not because she was a slut but because Caesar and Anthony were the only two men in the world who were, in her opinion, worthy of her. With Anthony, she ruled the eastern, Greek speaking half of the Roman Empire for two decades. She and Anthony intended to found a dynasty which would rule forever by dividing eastern Europe and western Asia among their children. She was the wealthiest person in the world at the time of her suicide. Her intelligence was surpassed, they say, only by her arrogance. She arranged for the murder of her brothers and sisters, but that was the custom of the time. I have only read Cleopatra by Michael Grant (1972), which may not include the most recent knowledge about her. He has produced a more recent book, which I have not read. It is Cleopatra - A Biography, and it surely includes updated material.
A few points to remember about biographies of these and other remarkable people.
I Ain't Gonna Read No Dang Biogerfees!
I understand. Some of the brightest and most creative people I know are not readers-of-books. While I feel sorry for them because they are unable to access the greatest treasure-house of human thought, feeling, and expression, I must tell you that many of them feel sorry for me because I can't dance and I prefer the solitude of my desk and the companionship of my books and my computer.
The artist and musician develop one part of their brains, the scholar another, and the athlete yet another. Some people are mildly dyslexic, and find deciphering print to be a bit of a struggle. Others do not even notice the effort of reading. For them, the thoughts of the author are transmitted effortlessly from the page into their own minds. In short, the human race varies greatly in its enjoyment of reading. Some love it, some hate it, some are in between.
There are other ways to find good examples to follow.
If you are not a reader-of-books, you must face the fact that knowledge does not appear magically in your mind. It has to come from somewhere. Design your own education program that will allow you to learn about the people who have succeeded and failed in the area where you hope to make your own mark. Education is the easy way to gain knowledge. Experience is the hard way. Every Machiavellian prefers to take the easiest, shortest path to every goal.
When looking for a good example to follow, be thoughtful about the impact of luck on the success of those who appear to be successful. In our society, someone has to succeed. Success in life is always a mixture of skill and luck, but the ratio of luck to success is not always obvious at first glance.
Among our presidents, for example, we can state with some confidence that Lyndon Johnson's success was based more on skill than luck. Born to a poor Texas hill-country family with no contacts and no history of success, he had to overcome his initial bad luck. He attended a backwater teacher's college in central Texas but rose to the presidency. George W. Bush, on the other hand, was born to a wealthy and prominent family, the great-grandson of a close advisor to President Hoover, the grandson of a Senator, the son of a President. He attended Yale, like his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. He was surely luckier than Johnson. Did both of them work hard? Certainly. Did one of them have more advantages than the other? Certainly. You can decide for yourself which one was the better president, but the impact of luck on both of their lives is obvious.
Remember, every successful person is lucky, but not every successful person is skillful. You want to select someone who was more skillful than lucky. It is not always easy to tell, so you will have to be thoughtful in your analysis.
You will read much more on luck in the next chapter and in chapter XXV. For now, let's say that luck shapes all of our lives for better or worse.

A politician who was targeted by a fake Facebook account is urging New Zealanders to change their passwords.
Digital Media Minister Clare Curran said a fake account using her identity "surfaced" this week.
But changing passwords has no effect on impersonation accounts - it is fairly easy to start up a Facebook account using someone else's name and photograph.
"I reported the issue and followed CERT [Computer emergency response team] NZ's advice, changed my Facebook password and upgraded my password protection," Ms Curran said.
"It's frightening to think someone is impersonating you online and CERT NZ is there to help people sort out issues and feel safe again online. Each report helps build a better understanding of the sorts of threats New Zealanders face online each day."
The politician last night posted on her Facebook page that she may have been hacked, TVNZ reports.
"If you get a friend request from me ignore it. Sorry I may have been hacked. First time for everything," she wrote.

Hi Everyone
Do any of you know what the status is of the Japanese working on FPGA/MiSTer implementation of various classic computers?
Is there any scene? I know they have some seemingly-odd laws about console modding and whatnot, but I also know they love kits and smart design.
The obvious one is the X68K, but you also have the NEC line like the PC-88 and PC-98. Both of those computers have tons of roots game development from famous studios. The X1 is also pretty cool.
Just sending out a smoke signal...

Pricescape.com is an online shopping center offering hundreds of thousand of products for day-to-day use. The site operates in the style of malls wherein several vendors can sell their goods under a single roof. While affiliate datafeeds too can be used, the basic business model of the site is to invite merchants or vendors to upload their products via datafeeds (most convenient when a merchant manages thousands of products) and sell on the site.
For this service the site charges a nominal subscription fee from each merchant. AdSense or another similar advertising network can always be a secondary source of revenue and income.
Technology Behind the Site
Built based on PHP/MySQL, it uses a custom script to import the data into MySQL and display in various formats. One can search for products based on keywords, or browse by merchant, category or brand. Displayed list of goods can be formatted further by relevancy, ratings or price – higher or lower price first. Whenever there are two similar products from different merchants, price comparison is automatically shown. Users can leave reviews and rate products which is shown on the site after Admin approval.
All URLs are "statically" generated for search engines. Each merchant, each category, each brand, and each product has its own "static" URL. Featured products can be displayed on the front page. New datafeeds can be set-up to be downloaded automatically in most cases, as frequently as you wish – daily, weekly, monthly. These can be further imported into the site's database automatically. Once set-up, all updates can, in most cases, take place without human intervention. Of course, where automation may not be possible, the job can always be done manually – a simple procedure and anyone familiar with using a web browser will be able to handle it.
Revenue Calculation
Based on the minimum amount ($10.00 per month for up to 100 products) that the site currently charges (you can set your own subscription prices), if you have just 10 merchant subscribers, you will make $100 per month; if you have 50 merchant subscribers, you will make $500 per month; if you have 100 merchant subscribers, you will make $1000 per month. The maximum subscription currently set is $200 per month for up to 10,000 products. If the median is, let's say, $50 for 50 merchant subscribers for up to 500 products, you make $2500 per month. You can, of course, do your own permutation and combination – optimistic, realistic, pessimistic.
Site's Overhead Expenses
While you will decide on the marketing budget to promote the site, there are minimal overheads in running it – all you pay is for hosting and renewal of the domain name. SSH facility in hosting is recommended for importing large datafeeds manually when required.
Pricescape.com – Domain Name
Pricescape.com – short, relevant, easily remembered and brandable domain, would be worth in high 4-figures for the name alone. While it may be possible to build another similar site, a domain name like this doesn't becomes available everyday.

From Politico:
There were few positive signs for the White House Friday as President Barack Obama's latest executive actions on immigration were debated in front of a federal appeals court.
During more than two hours of oral arguments before the 5th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans, Obama's own statements about his immigration moves were used by a Republican-appointed judge to put a Justice Department lawyer on the defensive.
And the sole Democratic appointee on the three-judge panel repeatedly argued for the legality of the president's actions by turning to an argument that the administration fears could discourage illegal immigrants from applying for programs that offer them quasi-legal status and work permits.
By the time the court session wrapped up, it appeared likely the appeals judges will rule, 2-1, against the administration's request for a stay of a district court injunction barring Obama from going forward with an expansion of a program offering quasi-legal status to illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and with a new program offering the same benefits to illegal immigrant parents of U.S. citizens.

Distributed ledger technology can enable equity settlement
by CTMfile
Completing post-trade settlement on distributed ledger technology (DLT) is possible and could reduce counterparty risk, according to a report by a group of Canadian banks, which explores the opportunities and challenges of DLT for the integration of financial markets and the Canadian economy. The study, published by Payments Canada, the Bank of Canada, TMX Group, Accenture and R3, presents the findings from the third phase of a collaborative research initiative called Project Jasper. The project, run by Payments Canada, the Bank of Canada and TMX Group, used a proof of concept that allowed clearing and 'delivery versus payment' settlement — and when more broadly implemented, would reduce counterparty risk and free up collateral — demonstrating that it is possible to complete post-trade settlement of netted and novated transactions on a DLT platform, while preserving privacy for market participants and their transactions.
The report's other key findings include:
- A distributed ledger technology platform can be used for a payment and securities settlement system. The proof-of-concept platform constructed was able to process pledge, transaction and redeem functions in a manner designed to address the privacy and scalability requirements of the Canadian system. The platform was also capable of handling the different participant sets so that each participant was only capable of performing those functions for which they were authorized.
- The loose integration framework of the project left the two authorities involved — the Bank of Canada for cash and Canadian Depository for Securities for equities — in full control of their respective instruments or tokens.
- Jasper Phase III was a focused proof of concept, and expansion to multiple parties and asset classes, will require further study to determine the impact of DLT with respect to cost savings or efficiency gains. An expansion of scope could span a number of possible dimensions — e.g., multiple assets, more of the trade and post-trade settlement lifecycle, and additional types of trades.
The report's findings provide critical insight into how the financial markets industry can adapt and use DLT, with the potential to reduce costs for participants and open up new opportunities. According to Accenture's blockchain technology & security lead, John Velissarios, the project has proved that distributed ledger technology can be used for clearing and settlement of securities and could play an important role in promoting financial market integration.

Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro, The (1980)
Master thief Lupin the Third, grandson of the legendary Lupin, has just finished liberating a casino of its proceeds when he discovers that every note is a goat bill, a virtually perfect counterfeit note. He heads to the Duchy of Cagliostro where he believes the notes are coming from but on his way he gets entangled with a beautiful young bride fleeing from some of the Count of Cagliostro's heavies.
Soon-to-be legendary animation genius Hayao Miyazaki makes his feature debut with this action adventure romance comedy that works brilliantly and is great fun from beginning to end. The animation is largely excellent and despite our lead character being a thief he makes an agreeably nonchalant hero.
This movie contains mild swear words and violence, unpleasant scenes.
Classified PG by BBFC. Parental Guidance.
Available on DVD.

Wait does the red leyline work against tendrils? to the best of my understanding it doesnt, cuz like the copies all go on the stack, and then each pick a target, leyline deals you 2, then tendrils deals 2 adn you gain 2, repeat
Storm Trigger -- resolved
Leyline Trigger -- resolved
Tendrils xStormCount
Leyline Trigger xStormCount
So, you're never actually going to cast this for 7. But as a creature, and as an effect that doesn't end when the creature dies, and as an effect that can target any permanent type (including lands) - is there some weird use for this in reanimator?
1x Back to Basics
2x Jace, the Mind Sculptor
2x Narset, Parter of Veils
2x Teferi, Time Raveler
4x Force of Will
4x Swords to Plowshares
4x Brainstorm
2x Dovin's Veto
3x Supreme Verdict
2x Council's Judgment
2x Crucible of Worlds
3x Expedition Map
4x Prismatic Vista
4x Flooded Strand
3x Island
1x Snow-Covered Island
1x Plains
1x Snow-Covered Plains
1x Tundra
1x Karakas
1x Hall of Heliod's Generosity
1x Academy Ruins
1x Field of the Dead
1x Wasteland
Maybe a 4-color "It's the Fear" type shell would be better? I dunno, but it's not remotely hard to build a viable legacy control deck that wins lategame off of Field thanks in very large part to Snow basics. You guys are all really sleeping on this card. It's not a format changer, but it absolutely gives any control or long-game deck a huge advantage in any game that goes long.
No, it won't stop a turn 2 Show and Tell, but why the fuck would it? That's not it's job, that's Force of Will's job. It's job is to be a huge pile of inevitability vs. other controllish decks and to get big value from fetchlands in the late game.
They just spoiled an upgraded Voltaic Key.
Manifold Key 1
1: Tap: Untap another target artifact
3: Tap: Target creature can't be blocked this turn.
Might even lead to a Chalice less Eldrazi Post or MUD deck, that plays 10-12 Monoliths, 8 Voltaic Key, either 4 Metalworker or 4 Cloudpost and a couple of Candelabra of Tawnos and just aim to hardcast massive Eldrazi, Ballistas, KGC + Lattice or an Ugin by turn 3 every game. Will need work to not be a glass canon and to be resilient to mass artifact destruction but it's a going to be a very fun deck to play.
4 Wrenn and Six
4 Elvish Reclaimer
4 Tarmogoyf
2 Other Flex Search Spots
1 Ramunap Excavator
1 Scavenging Ooze
4 Green Sun Zenith
4 Punishing Fire
4 Lightning Bolt
2 Life from the Loam
2 Sylvan Library
4 Mox Diamond
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Wasteland
4 Grove of the burnwillows
1 GhostQuarter
1 Maze of Ith
1 Karakas
1 Dark Depths
1 Thespian Stage
1 Blast Zone
1 Bojuka Bog
1 Dryad Arbor
1 Mountain
1 Forest
1 Taiga
1 Sheltered Thicket
Looks cool but I would cut a couple of Elvish Reclaimer (you can GSZ for one if you need) and play some Crop Rotations instead.
Crop Rotation does the same thing but a turn faster and for two mana cheaper and the land comes into play untapped, though it can't be done every turn, I still think it's the stronger card, especially when you want to win by grabbing a Thespian's Stage to pair with Dark Depths.
