My reading list
I have read some books this year. I was reading when I should have been writing.
- Private with James Patterson. This one was free on my iPad. I have mixed feelings about James Patterson. sometimes good, sometimes not so much. This was not his best.
- Wild- Cheryl Stayed. Good book but I dislike anyone who burns books for any reason, Cheryl.
- Paris Match- Stuart Woods. Always a fun read.
- Cut and Thrust-Stuart Woods. See above
- Carnal Curiosity-Stuart Woods. another easy read.
- Stand up guy-Stuart Woods-ditto
- Doing hard time-Stuart Woods. Stuart's books are like a soap opera. I have read 50 of his books.
- Field of Prey-John Sandford. I like the way he writes. Some of his characters end up in bad places. (stump shredder?) Gritty style but he knows how to keep you interested. I have read 38 of his books but only two this year.
- Deadline- John Sandford. another good one, John.
- Unbroken-Laura Hillenbrand. good memoir about a war hero.
- Imperfect justice-Jeff Ashton. Casey Anthony walks, Jeff!!!

I will try to write more in the next year if I don't get writer's block.
|You must understand, writer's block is not a nebulous, abstract thing with me.
It is a furry 14 pound mass of feline attitude of "What!!!??
I feel like I have left out a few books. That's OK!
Madison has almost nothing of her own. Oh, maybe a condo, a tent, a tube, Kitty TV (window looking out on the bird feeder) numerous feather toys, balls, her own personal chair on the balcony.
She has more furniture than we do. She only puts her claws into "her stuff".
Perhaps I will be able to find a book that will tell me how to get my life back from my cat.

"Flowers In The Woods"
A Decorative Concrete floor for the Potawatomi tribe at the Forest County Potawatomi Reservation near Crandon, Wisconsin. The design was a very important aspect of what the tribe wanted for the project because it had sacred meaning to their heritage. The floral design was the kind of design the woodland Indians used in their beadwork; it reflected nature in the Potawatomi's environment.

ETOS® stands for "Embedded Transformer Operating System" and is an integrated system solution from MR for all automation and monitoring functions on a power transformer. In addition, ETOS® is our response to all of the challenges relating to concepts from reliability and data security for components to end-to-end consideration for the value chain – from ordering and commissioning to operations management.
An operating system is a combination of various programs that manages the components (OLTC, bushing, etc.) of equipment (power transformer) and makes it available for applications.
Thus, the operating system forms an interface between the components and the application through the user or the user software. The heart of ETOS® consists of our ISM® software architecture. It manages the subsystems (DGA, cooling, etc.) and assemblies of the transformer and makes special programs available or manages the customer-specific applications.
The tasks include user communication, loading, executing, pausing and ending programs, ensuring system stability, management and operation of the connected devices and applications, as well as protective functions (such as access restrictions and cyber security).
ETOS® is the real-world expression of our conviction that power transformer automation and communication are the answer to future questions about grid management and operations management given that power transformers are such crucial equipment.
Many different sensor and monitoring systems are getting pushed onto the global market. Clarification of the specification, connection and integration at the power transformer poses major challenges for manufacturers. Sensor systems and automation tasks are not normally integrated or have only sporadic integration at best. Sensor signals frequently even have to be recorded several times.
Power transformers today still communicate through wires in many cases. So far it has not been possible to take advantage of the potential provided by data integration and local intelligence as is common in other industries. Neither has it been possible to use the dynamic (real) data and models of the equipment or to optimize operations or asset management using simulations and forecasting. There is immense hidden potential here.
In asset management, standardization in everyday equipment handling is very important. The basis for this is provided by data in digital form, collected from the time of power transformer acceptance at the installation site (SAT) up to final shutdown. This ranges from operation to troubleshooting and repair to stock-keeping and availability of spare parts. With ETOS® we offer an open standard that transcends manufacturers. We are available as your dependable, long-term partner in all of these challenges as we head into the future.
Power transformers today still communicate through wires in many cases. Using state-of the-art communication technology (fiber optics) leads not only to a significant cost reduction (CAPEX), but also to more reliable communication and considerably easier upgradability. In very simplified terms, the existing protocol conversion moves a bit closer to the equipment.
In addition to a function for easy data integration and monitoring, ETOS® offers numerous optional functions for evaluating your equipment in asset management. You can access interpreted information (such as a health index) or access all the data and carry out your own data analyses. That can reduce service work, assist with troubleshooting and make investment decisions easier.
We are convinced that the availability of information and dynamic models (simulation, digital twin) offers high potential for grid management. This has already been addressed many times in the course of discussions related to grid automation and utilization. Initial talks with manufacturers of control systems and grid simulation tools have confirmed this high potential. Topics such as attaining temporary overload capability through combining forecast data as well as proactive cooling are the first signs of things to come.
Customer diversity in conjunction with the relatively small world market (20,000 – 50,000 power transformers/year) make it difficult for an individual transformer manufacturer to develop a systematic solution from an economic point of view. This leads to singular solutions, high rates of change and a suboptimal value chain overall.
ETOS® is system-cost neutral for you. This means that, thanks to economies of scale at MR and by concentrating on your own areas of expertise in producing and evaluating transformers, you have a significant advantage in your value chain and costs as a whole also do not increase (process optimization). In addition, the concept provides significant differentiation potential through in-house systems and/or software functions (based on the ETOS® tool kit) and enables individualized digital business models.
There are still network operators who have concerns about electronics in transformers. They use the justification that electronics cost a lot of money, provide unusable data, offer hardly any added value and create more problems than benefits during their (short) service life.
In reality, however, there are basically no control cabinets in the field which operate without any electronics at all (measuring transducers, power supply units, etc.). Even in primary substations, electronic components have long been the state of the art. The problem was and is the use of unsuitable industrial components, which do not withstand the conditions in which they are used on power transformers. The industry is coming out of a pioneering phase in which numerous companies tried out many approaches based on available technology. To some extent there were and still are no defined standards regarding service life, environmental conditions, communication and data structures, range of functions, and methods. Many companies had hardly any experience at all in developing and manufacturing electronics. This led to the situation today where the term "monitoring" is viewed very critically.
In the meantime, standards committees have been tightening their rules and there are now defined standards and application rules for data standards, communication and numerous monitoring functions. The gap has also been closed in terms of hardware requirements. We offer 45 years of experience with electronic systems on transformers as well as operating experience from several thousand intelligent systems.
The development of ETOS® represents the first successful approach to a system solution that does not increase the overall system costs of the transformer. Our innovative housing concept and trusted ISM® technology allow us to overcome the environmental conditions on the transformer and ensure the reliability and lifespan standards in primary substations without any problems.
Yes, that is possible without any difficulties in most cases. If, for example, you are looking for a combination of tap-changer drive, automatic voltage regulation and a monitoring function for the transformer, you could easily implement these with ETOS®. In individual cases (or on request), functions are allocated to several control cabinets.
Yes, that is possible. We can suggest a viable connection diagram or you can simply provide us with a template to use in configuring ETOS® for you.
There are currently 4 housing sizes; other versions are to follow. You can find the exact dimensions in the corresponding operating instructions available in our download center.
There are corrosive classes available up to CX (in accordance with ISO 12944-9). Further information can be found in the corresponding operating instructions available in our download center.
Both the MR tap changer and the corresponding drive (TAPMOTION® or ETOS®) are designed to work for the entire service life of the transformer. Recommendations for maintenance intervals are noted in the respective operating instructions of the products.
The following applies to the integrated ISM® electronics:
If an ISM® component has to be replaced, for example because it is defective or as part of an upgrade, it is therefore easy to replace the respective assembly.
The brightness of the display is measured in candelas per square meter (cd/m2). The higher this value is, the brighter the screen. During daylight hours or when the display is in indirect sunlight, a brightness of between 100 and 140 cd/m2 should be possible.
The brightness of the integrated MControl touch display is 400-450 cd/m2, making it easy to read.
Because direct sunlight can result in a brightness of 1000 cd/m2 and higher, we recommend providing a shade for the screen.
Internal tests have demonstrated that the failure rate of the display is extremely low, even during continuous operation. Nevertheless, we recommend activating the integrated screen saver during continuous operation since this will significantly increase the service life of the display. In general, it is possible to use the display as a WTI and/or OTI replacement.
Alternatively, if permanently visible display instruments are installed in ETOS®, we recommend an analog or digital circular instrument that is positioned so as to be visible from the ETOS®.
The number of inputs varies greatly depending on the configuration. As a rule, there are 4 analog inputs and outputs. These are supplemented by 28 or 42 digital inputs and 15 or 20 digital outputs. Further inputs and outputs can be added depending on the scope and the respective application.
Depending on the selected ETOS® functions, both digital and analog inputs and outputs may already be reserved.
First, tell us what changes or added functions you are interested in along with the serial number of your device. We will then check which software/hardware versions you have, and based on this information, find an economic, simple option for implementing the desired additional functions.
In the simplest case, this will only require a software update and perhaps a small amount of rewiring on location. If a new connection diagram is required, this will be included in the order.
Naturally, our technical service team is happy to advise you in these matters.
Depending on the size of the housing, the following options are theoretically possible:
Once you have selected a smart monitoring function (e.g. OLTC monitoring or DGA monitoring) or smart cooling system control/monitoring, ETOS® always includes "Transformer Monitoring" in the standard scope.
We have more than 45 years of experience with electronic field devices. The security of our components is an integral part of our philosophy and we take extensive measures to safeguard our field device (e.g. integrated firewall, encrypted communication, logs, role-based access control, external auditing). In addition, our CERT team is available if you have any questions.
You can find more information on cyber security here
Yes, the TPLE function lets you do this yourself without difficulty. The corresponding programming function is separate from the actual field-device function and optionally available. Inputs and outputs can be connected using a simple combination of function blocks.
The values measured by all connected sensors are recorded in the ETOS® data logger. Depending on the type and scope of the measured data recorded, any chosen period data may be read out at a later date. The ETOS® data logger can record up to one million events such as, for example, an oil temperature limit value being exceeded.
Depending on the settings, digital signals, such as the status of the Buchholz relay, can be recorded for 6 days (average interval 1 s) or even for up to 1,340 years (average interval 24 h).
Analog signals (e.g. temperature values) can be documented for a period of up to 11 years (average interval 1 h). Depending on the version of ETOS®, the recording period can be even longer.
ISM® technology forms the basis of ETOS®. Its modules are equipped with a durable operating system that has been optimized for use with energy technology. The system has been designed in accordance with the standards for state-of-the-art industrial automation. It includes:
A software update is required, for example, if the functions change or if there are relevant security updates. MR has its own CERT team that continuously monitors ISM® technology for weak points. The software can be updated directly on location via the USB interface or remotely via a remote interface.
The various function packages, such as transformer monitoring and OLTC monitoring, are described on the MR website www.reinhausen.com/etos.
This includes, for example, a CPU assembly as well as modules for analog and digital measured values, measuring cards and protocol converters. The ISM® modules are flexibly and economically adapted to the desired function packages. The assignment of function to hardware depends on the specified configuration.
No, the IEC 61850 communication protocol is optional and must be added separately (connection with RJ45 or fiber-optic cable).
You can access the visualizations of the ISM® modules locally (MControl display or RJ45 interface with laptop) and remotely. No additional software is required.
In order to carry out control functions or to set a parameter, the user must have corresponding authorizations in the system. Via an intuitive user management system, the different users can be assigned various roles with clearly defined system authorizations (e.g. authorization to change parameters or import or export data).
When the MControl display is accessed remotely, manual control commands such as raise / lower (similar to those of a TAPCON® voltage regulator) can also be made from the visualization, depending on the role of the user.
In terms of software, it is possible to reproduce signals/contacts with the TPLE function. Furthermore, digital and analog inputs and outputs can be programmed freely.
Frequency-controlled cooling system control offers infinitely variable control of the cooling system based on the oil temperature and the load factor of the transformer. The fan speed is controlled by a configurable speed characteristic that is based on the oil temperature and load factor.

- ... and over 20 additional formats via Okino Polytrans API, if the tool is installed.
New Supported Export File Formats
- Standford Polygon File Format 1.0 ASCII (.PLY)
- Standford Polygon File Format 1.0 Binary (.PLY)
- ... and over 20 additional formats via Okino Polytrans API, if the tool is installed.
- Batch Process: VOBJ -> VRML 2.0
- Batch Process: VOBJ -> Polygon File Format (ASCII)
- Batch Process: VOBJ -> Polygon File Format (Binary)
- Color List visible if you hover over the Color Count in the Info Panel
- Info, Debug and Warning Messages are now automatically saved to a text file in the executable directory and then cleared in the messages windows, if they reach a certain size. This has a nice side effect... speeding up the application during batches or longer more intense usage sessions.
- Drag and Drop Support for files to load over the objects list grid.
Object Manipulation
- Experimental!! Edit Mode: uses my own rendering. Allows you to merge triangle polygons to quads and change colors of polygons. Also includes the features to auto-generate gradients and color blendings.
- The Manipulation/Adjustment Panel now has a sub-panel for "Effects". One existing one and the default selected is "Cloning". New is the "Ripple Effect", which transforms the current mesh in a wave like fashion on the specified axis and based on input criteria for the Wave length, amplitude and shift.
- Edge lists are now automatically build during object creation, making the old "Build Edge List" option obsolete
- .3DS and .ASC/ASE import improved and quadrigulation added to create as much quad polys instead of triangles as possible.
- .ASC/ASE import now also considers color and transparency definitions as "Material:" per polygon.
- The tool also supports the Okino Polytrans Import/Export API, if Polytrans is installed on the machine (not part of the install package). It will appear in the "Load/Open" file dialog in the format filter dropdown as a separate item in addition to the two existing filters "All Supported Formats" and "All Files". The tool converts all formats supported by Polytrans to Wavefront OBJ first, writing it to a temp folder and then imports the Wavefront OBJ, which is supported directly.
- Batch Processing for VOBJ -> xxx now supports the selection of an alternative output folder. It also shows the "Batch Processing" popup shows updated counts and lets you abort the batch in the middle of it
- Mesh Data Export on computers with different number formatting settings (different decimal point) than the United States now forces US number formatting for Vertex values. (Thanks to "POK" from forums.deltaforceteam.de for pointing this out)
- If Okino Polytrans is installed on the machine, additional output file formats appear in the file format selection of the "Save As" dialog.
Bug Fixes
- I messed up the order of materials for the Direct/X (.X) ASCII format import. That's corrected now.
In addition to that does the package also include 100+ more vector objects since the last release. In total over 1800 objects.
Also an updated version of my demo/intro.
Alternative Download Link to the Tool Release can be found at http://www.roysac.com/osdm#VOBJTool
POK: Let me know if the formatting works now on your machine.
EPYX: Danke fuers Feedback. Leider hab ich das mit den Animationen irgendwie noch nicht hinbekommen obwohl ich es prinzipiell offensichtlich korrekt angegangen bin. Daher ist es nun doch nicht Teil dieses releases geworden. Vielleicht in der naechsten Version. Ich habe mich erst mal mehr um Import und Export gekuemmert und wieder mit nem richtigen Editor angefangen (was ziehmlich knifflig ist).
Viel Spass/Enjoy!

Finals - Saturday, July 7
Pre-game coverage - 12:00 PM PDT / 21:00 PM CEST
Relay Race Bo5 series begins at 21:30 CEST / 12:30 PM PT
Every team plays at least once in a Bo5 to determine a winning region with the following parameters:
- The stronger region from groups gets to counter pick the first three games
- Team matchups will be decided on the day of Finals
- For the final 2 games, teams for each region will be selected at the same time with no chance of counter picks
Why did we change the format?
After looking back at last year's Rift Rivals, fan and pro player feedback showed that they preferred the Relay Race format for Finals as seen in other regions. We decided to move to a Relay Race format for Finals because it allows for every team in each League to play on the last day. The format also ensures regional dominance and bragging rights are earned by the best League and not just the best team. No sandbagging this year, if you want to prove your League is better, every player, every team, has to bring it. We want to provide the feeling that every team from both Leagues had a part in the win or loss during Rift Rivals. Last year, it felt like TSM won over UOL rather than all the regional teams coming together to defeat their rival league.
We decided to move away from a double round robin Group Stage for a few reasons. Last year, it felt like Groups was the centerpiece of the event rather than Finals. We felt we didn't need to do a double round robin Group Stage at this event because every team will now play in the Relay Race Finals. In addition, the switch to single round robin Bo1 makes every game, team matchup, and champion selection matter more toward developing a winning strategy during Finals. While we know having less cross regional play in the Group Stage will undoubtedly leave some of you wanting more, we believe these changes will create a better overall tournament experience for fans and pros alike.
Why is Rift Rivals shorter this year?
Last year, we focused heavily on Groups and the double round robin format to get as many cross regional games as possible.This year, we felt it was more important to amp up Finals as such we didn't need the extra day with our new format. We have taken steps to increase our storytelling so the content won't be light, and the gameplay will be meaningful for every match, since teams only face each other once. With this format change, we only needed three days to deliver the chaotic and high stakes atmosphere of Rift Rivals.
Why not more action on the weekend?
With Rift Rivals being a part of an international week of rivalry, we decided to schedule our games on days and times that allowed fans to watch as many regional clashes as possible. On top of that, pro player feedback last year, was such that the travel and time commitment wiped them out physically and was a drain on restarting their Summer Split, so this year we are aiming to get them home with enough time to adjust for their pivotal LCS games the following weekend.
In what languages will the Rift Rivals: NA v EU broadcast be available?
We'll confirm all the international languages of the Rift Rivals: NA vs. EU broadcast after MSI 2018 concludes.

The Changing Face of Bingo
For a while, the good reputation of bingo seemed to be held only by pensioners who enjoyed congregating in musty rooms to chain-smoke and dab tickets. Thankfully that misconception didn't last too long, and now the game is proudly enjoyed by players from all walks of life.
This is exactly how it should be. From its earliest days and forms, the game was a hit with players. It underwent several transformations; each one adding a tweak or a twist to refine play and offer all the more entertainment.
Dabbing tickets is no longer limited to rooms and halls, of course. With Giggle Bingo, players can play different versions of the game for real money online and on compatible mobile devices. Find out more about playing bingo online by reading our How To page.
Beginnings of Bingo
The very first appearance of bingo is unknown, but most sources point to it being in Italy, somewhere around 1530. The state lottery, known as Lo Giuoco del Lotto d'Italia, inspired some enterprising individual to develop a new game.
Whoever it was combined elements of the lottery game with playing cards, which were also very fashionable at the time. The resulting game became immensely popular among Italians, and soon spread to Britain and France, as well as further afield in Europe.
As the game we now know as bingo spread through Europe, several variations were introduced. One of those happened in Germany in the 19th century, and became known as Tombola, a game in its own right.
Bingo Across the Atlantic
One of bingo's predecessors appears to have arrived in Mexico before it came to the United States of America. In 1838, English archaeologist John Stephens described a game played there, called La Lotteria.
It used numbers ranging between one and 90, pieces of paper with five rows, and offered the prize to the first player to cover a row of numbers with corn.
When it first arrived in the USA, the game was known as Beano. One of the first mentions of it being played was at a jamboree held near Atlanta, sometime in the 1920s.
While at a game one day, Edwin Lowe heard a player shout "bingo!" instead of "beano!" Lowe thought it sounded much better, and decided to rename the game. Of course, renaming it wasn't enough for Lowe.
He approached Columbia College mathematics teacher Carl Leffler, and asked him to help improve the card blends. Once satisfied with the adjustments made by Leffler, Lowe introduced his new, improved Bingo to the public.
Much like what happened in 16th century Italy, the game was an instant success. It became even more popular after a Catholic priest in Pennsylvania organised bingo games to raise funds for his parish.
By 1934, every week saw approximately 10 000 bingo games played across the United States of America.
Bingo and the Worldwide Web
Further variations were made to bingo. One of those, which saw the number of calls made reduced from 90 to 75, has become the world's second most popular form of the game.
The next stage in the game's evolution had more to do with where it is played than how it is played. In 1996, two years after the launch of the world's first real online casino, a free bingo website was launched.
Within months, players were given the opportunity to dab tickets for real money, and in 1998, the game saw a resurgence in popularity.
Online bingo has come a long way since then, with themed games, integrated chat, and much more. Come play your favourite game at Giggle Bingo now!

Puri: The authorities of Samanta Chandra Sekhara (SCS) Autonomous College have cancelled the admission of 19 students, who were found to have submitted fake disability certificates for gaining admissions into various streams in Plus III.
According to sources, at least 36 students had submitted fake certificates of disability to get seats in Arts, Commerce and Science streams during the 2018 admission season.
The college authorities had sent the certificates to the Puri Chief District Medical Officer (CDMO) for review. Nineteen certificates were found to be fakes as the signatures of the doctors and CDMOs did not match their registration numbers.
The Puri CDMO had submitted a report in this regard August 21. Later, the report was sent to the state higher education department.
The college authorities had alerted the state Higher Education Department in this regard. A meeting of the heads of departments (HODs) and members of the admission committee was also held in this connection August 25.
Acting on the order of the Higher Education Department, the authorities cancelled the provisional admission of the 19 students, said Laxmidhar Mishra, the principal of the college.
The names of 18 students were displayed on the college notice board. However, one student had left the institute after taking transfer certificate from the college, Mishra added.


text: Visual Systems Process Books2011Most of the work I created in the spring of 2011 was digital and time-based. Thus, when asked to create a tangible process book to display my work, I had to come up with a creative way to turn my digital documentation into printed material. To do this, I created a set of flip books; each of the four flip books contains a clip from my design process. The accompanying book supplements the flip books with written reflections of my work. Work documented includes a modular pattern system, experiments with Arduino, a kinetic pamphlet, and a set of postage stamps.

The most rapidly uprising corporate messenger Slack has turned its well-known rotated hashtag into the new logotype, which, as the Slack team says, had to be changed because of many reasons. Even though they are reasonable, people keep holding spirited discussions about it (spoilers: there're so many dissatisfied).
New Slack logo? (In this week's New Yorker) pic.twitter.com/Js8ewwvwzb— Frank Chimero (@frank_chimero) January 16, 2019
It all has started on January 15, when observant designer Frank Chimero posted on his Twitter the photo of The New Yorker ad, highlighting the eye-striking Slack logo change.
That has provoked a wave of retweets and likes, so Slack eventually reacted to it (actually, on the same day they released their new logotype).
Say hello, new logo
Now we have it: no more plaid-looking hashtag, which was closely connected with Slack's workspace since 2013. But why it has evolved in the first place if its design used to embrace the main principle: "hashtagging" channels in a complex workspace? There were lots of reasons, as it is stated on the Slack Blog, which should be taken into consideration before starting to shake your head in disappointment.
First comes, who would have thought, the inconvenience of use! Seems that it was grossly challenging to get the logo right every time it was about to be used in some new design surroundings. Imagine operating with 11 different colors, sticking to strict 18º rotation angle and having to appear in a multiple of backgrounds except for white — a pure nightmare full of constant adjustments. Back then the creation of multiple logo versions seemed to be the fair salvation for this issue.
Now the static version has a stable number of "lozenges and droplets", while the colors of the previous version were adjusted only a bit. Saying farewell to Slack logo always changing due to to the context.
The second reason for this innovation is plainer — changes for the sake of changes. Launched as a startup project, it has burst into the army of active users in a relatively short time. Let's not forget about the fact, that the existence of this brand lasts not for a long period of time to undergo significant changes, which may ruin the company's recognition. Besides, frantic modifications of a Slack logo seemed only confusing, serving more like an obstacle to recognise it among the others.
It's hard to ignore the backlash people have about this whole redesign thing. The most adequate from the crowd of fair (and not really) critics notice that certain conservative tones penetrate the new logo concept, saying that it breathes with American corporate style from the 70s.
Someone has even brought up the forms resemblance of logos from book by Al Cooper, called 'World of Logotypes', published back then in 1976. These eagle-eyed design lovers!
Moreover, everyone should be encouraged by the chosen version among the other presented ones. I mean, can you even imagine seeing something like the possible variants from the second line every day?
We may only guess how long did it take for Michael Bierut from Pentagram and the Slack team to eventually reach a satisfactory logo solution. We may also be triggered on social media about it for as long as possible. But there exists a common practice: people make habits of things with the flow of time. Especially, with the new logotype constantly situated under their concentrated eyes for at least 5 hours a day.
The new Slack logo provokes so much of critics because it doesn't fit anymore the concept of a startup it used to be. It surely can seem generic, old school and so on, but there's a greater cause behind this all. Slack has significantly changed and turned into a great IT company with a huge audience, on which it's oriented. So, I guess, it's about the time to get used to it.

Torr, Edwin; Blood, Bone and Coffin (Dead Means Dead 0); Obulus Books, 2017
The relative merits of my weapon of choice all became a little academic when my phone began to play the Mexican Hat Dance. I rummaged in my pocket, wishing I was better at technology so that I could change the ringtone or at least mute the damn thing. It's hardly appropriate for a Specialist Funeral Director to have such a chirpy tune ringing out across a graveyard. I pulled the phone out and stabbed randomly at the buttons, trying to silence the thing. It was then I realized that in doing so, I had inadvertently stood up, revealing myself to the dead head.
"Hello?" Detective Inspector savage's voice sounded incredibly loud. Somehow, I'd managed to put him on speakerphone. "Are you there, Coffin?"
The dead guy spun round. He looked fast for someone who had died a few weeks ago and just finished the impossible journey from six feet under the soil to the surface. He also looked like every one of the days of those weeks had taken its toll on him. His face was bloated and grey, the skin splitting around his forehead to reveal white bone and a lining of something creamy. He gave a low growl from his black lips which gave me a lovely view of his yellowed, uneven teeth.
"Hi, Savage, can I ring you back? It's not a good time right now."
Savage was one of those people who never took the hint. "It won't take a minute, Coffin. We've had a report of an open grave in a place called Hampton Green…"
"I'm dealing with a lich, right now, Savage, I can't really…" I didn't finish the sentence. The dead guy launched himself forward and rammed his shoulder into my gut, grabbing me round the waist and forcing me backwards onto the ground. (ch. 1)
Blood, Bone and Coffin is a prequel to Demons. It is a novella about the Specialist Funeral Director whose job it is to lay the undead to rest. Sometimes the police give him work to do. Usually, they do not call him at such an inconvenient time as the one in the quote. Or perhaps Coffin learns how to silence his cell-phone.
What begins with the request to lay a zombie to rest, ends up being a search for the killer of residents at the Twilight Grove Nursing Home in Hampton Green, England.
BB&C is a fun little paranormal whodunit with odd people all over the place. Recommended.
Lackey, Mercedes & Edghill, Rosemary: Dead Reckoning (2012)
I have been looking for an updated website for Rosemary Edghill. This link is old (2013). I haven't found one anywhere else, but she is still alive. She and Mercedes Lackey wrote Dead Reckoning together.
The setting of Dead Reckoning is the Wild West a couple of years after the Civil War. Two of our characters are from either side of the issue while the third is indirectly an American Indian. Jett's story set me looking for how likely it was that a woman would cross-dress around the time of the Civil War. Well, it happened and not that seldom either. There really wasn't much choice for any of them. Not for Jett either. If she/he wanted to go off and try to find her brother she would have trouble doing so as a woman. It simply was not accepted. But all of her female habits had to be set aside and Jett had to learn how to walk, talk and adapt the mannerisms of the men of her time to be left alone. She also had to shoot really well, because sometimes seeming like a post-adolescent boy brought many of the same challenges women had. Gunslingers were the shooters who were quick draws and fast shooters.
Honoria had the advantage of an unconventional childhood with an eccentric father. Perhaps eccentric isn't the correct word. Her father was a genius whose ideas kept interrupting his life and drawing him into new mind-zones. With a daughter just as bright, that may have been a good thing. Honoria was given the freedom to study what she wanted and that enabled her to do what other unusual women of her time also did, invent. I found myself rather liking her insistence upon science over all. Sometimes I wanted to tell her to get over herself, but she was consistent with her character all the way through.
In fact, that can be said of all three characters. Jett remained the male she wanted to be taken for. The last of the three compatriots, White Fox, was consistent with the civilian scout and Algonquin adoptee he was supposed to be. White Fox was on a mission for the 10th Cavalry to find out what had happened to his Captain's mother at Glory Rest. What he discovered was that the town was completely deserted. There had, in fact, been several incidents of people disappearing or groups of people being slaughtered by unknown parties. The disappearing people fit with the allegations Honoria was investigating.
Their encounters with zombies and cultists are fun and full of action.

Bell, Alden: The Reapers are the Angels (2010)
"Doggone it, she says. Why do livin and dyin always have to be just half an inch apart?"
Bloody hell! Some reviews hurt more than others to write.
My father was a couple of years old before the Germans invaded Norway during WWII. He had passed his 7th birthday when they left. Yet there are quite a few things he remembers from that time. Especially one thing stands out with regard to The Reapers are the Angels. During the war a certain wildness was permitted in children. Many of the little ones were used by older kids to get at the German soldiers. Being little made it less likely you would get shot. Then the war ended. All of a sudden children were expected to become normal children. As my father tells that was not a simple task to perform, even for a seven year old boy. His father returned changed from POW camp. His mother had retained a great deal of psychological scarring from the war. And my father was a wild one.
Today we have more information about the mental processes of war-time experiences on children who grow up in them. One child tells of his killing as a child-soldier:
"The youngest was a girl about six. She was shooting at me." (IRIN Africa)
In reading about young Temple, only 15 years old, her traumatized psyche was easy to see. Her feelings of guilt, being evil, should have been able to make different choices are all classic symptoms of a child with PTSD. PTSD is something I have knowledge of and I had no problem identifying with Temple a great many times.
"She eases herself to the ground and wonders when she will eventually die because she's awfully tired, so terribly tired, and Moses Todd is right – there are debts she owes to the perfect world and she feels like she has cheated them for too long already."
Death is nothing I fear. Each and every one of us must end our journeys there. Some of us are less afraid of it than others. For Temple her journey has brought her to the brink of death many times in her fights for survival against the slugs. She bears them no ill will. After all, a world with meatskins is all she has ever known. Accepting the world as it is seems to be her strongest quality. Somehow there is beauty to be found in just about every circumstance Temple encounters, even in her encounter with the mutants.
When Temple is saved by the half humans/half slugs you would think she had stumbled upon a gang of "krokodil-junkies" (drug used in Russia that makes your outside and insides look grosse – Slate) taken to the extreme. One thing addicts have shown us is that if the buzz is considered strong enough by its user it will be taken no matter its side-effects. The effects of injecting zombie juice into a human body are devastating. But addicts will be addicts.
"Oh lord, Royal says, marching around the room in circles. I got a fire in me, Bodie. Right now? Right now I could fuck a hole in the world. I swear to God a'mighty I could fuck and new Grand Canyon all by myself."
Like I said – a buzz one might want repeated.
Nothing in The Reapers are the Angels points toward a happy ending for Temple. But happy endings are illusions caused by a death put off for a while longer. Sometimes there is happiness to be found in the moment of death and that is all we can hope for for our beautiful little Sarah Mary Williams, AKA Temple.

Shirer, George R: The Finishers (2011)
Perhaps we might call the zombies in The Finishers "Flippers" since they rose after the world seemed to "flip".
We meet Tobias and Archer who get paid for making sure the dead remain lying down. They finish what death began. The only way to do that is to shoot the flippers in the head.
"Sometimes", said Archer, "I really hate this job".
I see his point.

McManamon, Michael: Glory 1 (2013)
Glory is book one of a five book series. I see that number two is now out on the market.
We enter the world of Glory at the beginning of the Apocalypse. Let me tell you, Jackson was a surprise. He is the first person we meet who seems to be affected by what is striking people.
"Are you all right?" he asked.
By now, the words meant nothing to Jackson. He could only hear sounds coming out of the old man's mouth. He didn't know what they meant. The concept of language had left him moments ago.
He didn't respond.
"Are you all right?" the man asked again. Slower this time.
Jackson continued to look at the old man, but still didn't say anything.
He looked down at the fingers touching him. He could make out the white hair on the knuckles. Grabbed him. Squeezed him. He didn't know why this old man was touching him, but he did know that he didn't like it. He felt anger well up inside of him.
He looked up again at the old man. The old man was smiling his skewed smile, trying to make light of the situation and find out what was wrong. To Jackson, his face caused his anger to turn to rage.
The old man. Smiling. Looking. Staring.
Jackson roared.
Then he took his knife, grasped it tightly and stabbed it into the old man's throat. The old man's eyes opened wide with surprise. He tried to grab at the knife as Jackson pulled it away. Blood spurted from the wound and covered the table.
It's bizarre. People seem to turn in the space of a few minutes. All comprehension of the meaning of words or other people's actions seems to evaporate. Anger is the prevailing emotion they are left with. Without thought of pain, hunger or consequence they just attack. In that sense they are like zombies. Otherwise they are totally different. Alien infection or some kind of engineered disease were my first thoughts.
The prologue is tense. The whole novel is intense. McMananon writes incredibly well drawing the reader into his world and keeping us there.
What we get after the prologue is easy to imagine. A total collapse of society as we know it occurs. Those who are left "normal" discover they have to stick with each other. But sticking with some of the survivors might not be such a good option. Some of them are almost worse than the diseased in that they have "all of their faculties intact". Good people remain good and not so good people remain pretty awful.
There is some explicit violence in Glory. Sexual violence is part of that violence. Thankfully, we also encounter samaritans. All of these actions were believable. The shock, anger, helplessness, courage, violence, friendship. All of them were perfectly believable. This is probably what would happen in this world if something like McManamon's version of Apocalypse happened.
Would I recommend Glory to young adults. NO. Glory is just too dark. On the other hand, kids these days see a lot of violence and sex that I never did back when the dinosaurs lived. Maybe it is good for them to encounter it. I know the feelings portrayed by the sexual abuse victims were pretty much the way real life abuse victims experience them.
We were left with a cliff-hanger or maybe we were already falling off it. Shame on McMananon for sending us to the edge. Glory 1 is an excellent first novel and I very much encourage you to read it.
Kellen, Christopher: The Corpse King (Elegy) (2011)
The Corpse King is our introduction to the trilogy Elegy. We are in a land of sorcery, swords and adventure with arbiters running around trying to keep some kind of order and clean manna (magic) whenever it sends out bad vibes. In The Corpse King we have a dark fantasy in the way of zombies, death-manna and insanity.
Apprentice D'Arden Tal and Master Havox Khaine are two of these manna-cleaners. If you take a look at Kellen's website you will see that for some reason the world Eisengoth is the one sending off bad manna vibes. How do you fight a world? With a world gone insane you are bound to live in a dark place. In fact, I find that the cover reflects the mood of this world gone mad.
It might be a good thing if you like zombie books. This description illustrates why:
D'Arden caught a glimpse of the old man, wizened head perched atop a naked, colorless, emaciated form that was slowly shambling toward him. The belly was swollen to the bursting point, dragging entrails across the wooden floor. Maggots writhed everywhere, covering the body nearly from neck to foot as they feasted.
As you see, not something for the faint-hearted. Well written though. Nice and gory.
Have fun. I did.

We fully expected Samsung to announce their new Galaxy Note 4 at IFA in September 2014. There were rumors that Samsung might show off a curved display phone as well, but nobody expected them to be ready to actually launch their new Galaxy Note Edge. It came out shortly after the Galaxy Note 4 and was also a limited distribution. At $400 a pop in the US, there will not be a long line forming for this great phablet. We are happy to announce that the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge is now available for pre-order at Best Buy in Canada – although no price or delivery time was announced. We expect that Rogers and Bell will start taking their own pre-orders any day now.
The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge gives you all of the benefits of the Galaxy Note 4 and adds the curved display for even more possibilities. It sports a 5.6-in Super AMOLED QHD display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 x 160 pixels (curved edge) and 524 pixels-per-inch (PPI). It uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 quad-core processor clocked at 2.7GHz or the Exynos 5433 octa-core clocked at 1.6GHz and 1.3GHz. It comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory with a microSD card slot to add an additional 128GB of storage.
Samsung really improved the camera area in their Note devices – a 16MP sensor and autofocus, LED flash, included their own ISOCELL technology for better low-light shooting and now even included Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Live HDR shooting. The 3.7MP front-facing camera (FFC) is a 120-degree wide-angled lens for great group social selfies or a boardroom video chat. The 3000mAh battery is slightly less than the 3220mAh battery in the Galaxy Note 4 due to the curved display, but it will still give you a full-days' worth of battery life and it benefits from Samsung's Ultra Power Saving Mode (UPSM) and Quick Charge 2.0
The Note Edge has the usual Dual-Band Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth 4.1 LE, a MicroUSB v2.0 connector, but also adds VoLTE and Wi-Fi Calling capabilities, an IR Blaster, three microphones, and Quick Charge 2.0, Download Booster, Fingerprint Scanner, Heart Rate Sensor, UV and Oxygen Saturation Sensor, all metal frame, LTE Cat 6 and the S-Pen and all of its features. Right now, it is running 4.4.4 KitKat but could see the 5.0 Lollipop by the end of February or March.
Please hit us up on our Google+ Page and let us know if you are interested in a Samsung Galaxy Note Edge…as always, we would love to hear from you.

We like our holiday to begin as soon as we arrive at the airport. Steffan always insists on leaving ridiculously early for the airport. He gets nervous about the M25 being busy so we have often got there before check-in has even opened. Who knew there was so much to do landslide at Gatwick airport!
When we fly we always book meet and greet parking. It's a bit more expensive but with 3 kids the hassle of getting them all on a bus to the terminal with 5 bags is too much effort.
I book a long way in advance and wait for an offer email or I book it through my work cash back site and usually get about 20% back. We have used loads of different companies. I tend to prefer the ones that get you to go to a short stay car park and then take the car for you rather than the ones that make you pull up outside as they are in a rush to get you out and moved on.
The walk from the car park is usually under 2 mins so it's really convenient and easier for us than getting a taxi to fit us all. When we go in February half term it's costing under £60 to park for the week. A taxi from where we live is around £60 each way.
On the way back you call after picking up the luggage and they have it ready and waiting for you back at the car park.
Once we have checked in we like to go to a lounge. There are usually only a few children in there but they are welcome and some have a dedicated children's area.
We usually go to No.1 lounge but this time with my tastecard I have got us in to the My Lounge for £10 each. It isn't quite a luxurious as the other…it only has wine and beer not spirits included but there are plenty of snacks to keep the kids happy and it's guaranteed seats.
When we have been to No.1 lounge we haven't booked in advance and they have done 2 for 1 in adults and let the kids in for free. That makes it even cheaper than My Lounge but if you don't book in advance you can have the disappointment of it being full. I would never pay full price as they start at £18 per person for MyLounge and £32 for No.1 but you can always get discounts if you book at the same time as parking etc.
If we go for a meal anywhere in the airport it is usually costing around £40 but a lounge gives us unlimited food and drinks plus newspapers so it's worth it
We didn't do it when we went to Lapland as our flight was early in the morning and we wouldn't have got the full 3 hours out of it. Plus I never feel it's worth it in the morning as you don't drink (as much) alcohol and breakfast isn't as expensive to buy.
With the lounge access we also get free premium security entry, we've not used this before but anything added is a bonus.
We live about 40 mins from Gatwick and an hour from Heathrow. We could also get to Luton and Stansted in about an hour and a half so we are lucky to have lots of choice when booking flights. We never book in at the airport hotels as even for early flights it's not worth the added cost.
Lacking on photos on this post as I haven't been in a lounge for a recently…here is one when we went to Lanzarote and Xavier was a very round 1 year old!

Art of BI: New! Create Subject Areas Automatically Option in Logical Layer
Christian Screen | | March 9, 2011
In Oracle Business Intelligence 11g R1 a new feature has been added to the RPD Logical Layer which allows a user to automatically create one or more Subject Areas based on a single Business Model. The function called, Create Subject Areas for Logical Stars and Snowflakes is selected by right-clicking a Business Model. This new operation is actually a loaded function in that it will create a subject area based on each star or snowflake schema within the selected business model. So what does one expect to see as a result of executing this function?
As a result of executing this function one or more subject areas are added to presentation layer. For every fact table existing, even if only a single dimension is jointed to it, or no dimensions are joined to it, a subject area is created. So, technically this would create a new "standalone" subject area for any individual logical table including something like a the newly definable lookup tables, etc. that exists in the Business Model, in addition to your fully joined model. So, this is great, but is there a real use case for actually using it?
From my testing efforts and perusing the Oracle documentation on the subject I found few scenarios where this would be useful:
- To generate a quick n' dirty Subject Area as an alternative to just dragging the biz model to the pres layer.
- To investigate any loosely coupled facts (dare I say relationship check?)
- To quickly identify the greatest to lowest combination of logical relationships
- To prepare multiple options for business users to logically break out subject areas related by Business Model. This might assist with the new combine subject area feature when creating an Analysis.
- To prepare for MUD Project defaults
Okay, I might be reaching a little bit on the use cases above. However, just know that this function is just another way to create multiple subject areas with a twist. I think that it beats just dragging the business model into the presentation layer. And, in the case that too many subject areas are generated by this action, one could always delete the subject areas that will not be used, etc.
Please reply if you've put together a solid use case for leveraging this function that I haven't mentioned above and I will add it to the list.

Our house is about a 5 minute walk to the kids' school. Which is truly a blessing most days! In our crazy dash to get everyone's shoes, jackets, and backpacks on and out the door, it's an absolute life saver that we don't have a long walk or drive in the morning. ("Wait, did I remember to put your lunch bags in your backpacks? Let me just unzip and check. NO NO sweetie... don't stop walking, we're going to be late... I can walk and zip at the same time...") Once I get back home after dropping … [Read more...]
Spring Snack Chex Mix
Other people stress about what to wear each day. Or about picking fabric samples for curtains (well... that would actually stress me out too...). But apparently I'm the type of person who stresses about what type of candy to put into my Chex mix. I went to the bulk store and bought way too many different choices. And then I filled little bowls, sat on the floor with my group of bowls and kept refilling and rearranging them to figure out which combinations would look and taste the best together. … [Read more...]
Mason Jar Easter Gifts
Have you noticed lately how the stores are just FILLED with inexpensive Easter candy? Like seriously. How much candy does a kid need at Easter? Do you think we go overboard these days? I find it hard not to go overboard when there are so many choices - especially with all the really inexpensive and cute things from the dollar store. So this is me toning things back. *breathe* I'm already having trouble leaving it at just this. There's this guilty feeling in the back of my mind, like somehow … [Read more...]

I want to be that mom. You know the one.

Then my kids come home and say, "Next time, can we bake fancy cookies and decorate them like this for everyone in the class?". And I grit my teeth and mumble some kind of excuse, "Oh, I don't know honey, those look really hard to make!" I know. It sounds ridiculous given that I'm … [Read more...]

This is the emotion that Salvadori stirs in the soul of the people who receive a Salvadori Jewel. Tears of joy, smiles … the reflection of a diamond… Behind this magical precious stone, used to celebrate the happiest and significant moments in people's lives, an ancient story is hidden which dates back to 300 BC, when the first diamonds were discovered in India. The diamond is not fascinating only for its beauty but also for its hardness, superior to any other precious stone. It was considered the "King of the gems". In ancient Greece it was thought that diamonds were "star splinters fallen from heaven to earth" and this inexhaustible fascination has remained intact to this day.
Salvadori, with over 160 years of history and member of the most important of the World Diamond Bourses, Antwerp and Tel Aviv, is the silent guardian of this magnificent gem.
The company's long process begins in Antwerp. It is here there they buy diamonds in all sizes and with high quality standards. The Salvadori Diamond has an excellent cut, an indispensable feature for perfect light return. Salvadori only buys stones in colours from exceptional white to white (D, E, F, G), loup cleap and with VS clarity. Each diamond is always has GIA and HRD certificates which are the only valid and recognized ones throughout the world.
Every Salvadori jewel is made entirely in Italy with its own name and VE370 brand. All the designs are copyrighted. The preciousness of the diamond goes beyond its commercial value. The diamond is "a splinter of a star fallen from heaven"… A diamond is given as a gift when one's heart is full of love… A diamond is kept safe, and handed down.
The birth of a child, an engagement, an anniversary… A Salvadori Jewel…
Aperitif in Saint Mark's Square in the Salvadori shops under the new Procuratie. Dinner in the magnificent Palazzo Dandolo, located on the Grand Canal, with its beautiful frescoes and stuccoes, and the beauty of the Ridotto rooms, famous for having hosted Giacomo Casanova.
Salvadori participates in the International Jewellery Design Competition. The theme, for the future Expo in Milan, is "A la Carte". Marzia Pendini makes the Sapore di Mare neckalce, a 'fisherman's' net in diamonds, with various shellfish and crustaceans typical of the Venetian lagoon stuck on it. Each piece is also detachable and convertible into new jewellery.
Il Presidente di Salvadori, Gabriele Pendini, riceve il Premio dalla Camera di Commercio per "L'Innovazione nella Tradizione". Un Premio dato ai migliori imprenditori di Venezia che hanno saputo nel tempo, contribuire al decoro, al miglioramento ed alla crescita della propria città.
Panerai produces two models in limited edition exclusively for Salvadori. The PAM 540 stainless steel, Luminor case with manual wind-up charging with 56 hours of power reserve and the PAM 549, also in steel, with Radiomir casing and automatic charge with a 10-day power reserve and dual time fuse. Both models, respectively 100 pieces worldwide for the first and 20 pieces worldwide for the second, have a little masterpiece of craftsmanship; an unexpected engraving depicting Saint Mark's Square, hidden on the back cover.
The Salvadori jewellery store has always been linked to the traditions of this city, and rewards the winners of the women's Mascarete regatta. Designer Marzia Pendini's gift is the Dolfin Pendant, adorned with diamonds inspired by the typical iron bow, in Venetian-Dolfin, of one of the most ancient Venetian boats: the Gondola.
Salvadori joined the new edition of the "Luxury Christmas Preview" where they presented excellence related to the world of Christmas. Salvadori exhibited more than 60 watches from the various Patek Philippe collections, the new Basel 2010, the perpetual calendars, chronographs, the entire Nautilus collection and the rare 5102 reference, the famous Celestial. Obviously, there are the most worn Jewellery Collections and a wide selection of loose diamonds, strictly accompanied by GIA and HRD certificates.
Salvadori exhibited the Miraggi Collection, jewellery made with diamonds to dream for and the Vulcano Collection… as wild as the color of the rubies that its made of. For fans of time, there are three majestic Tourbillon from Vacheron Constantin in the Malta Collection.
Salvadori Vicenza hosts the "The value of time" exhibition. A rare edition of the Holy Bible in 5 volumes illustrated by Salvador Dalì and precious Vacheron Constantin watches. The artist's freedom is a perfect technique to give shape and colour to his visions. Similarly, the perfect technique is the way through which the master watchmaker expresses his creative freedom. Both are witnesses of Time which become Art and History.
Salvadori organized an exhibition dedicated to its jewellery. The chosen location is Cortina d'Ampezzo. What better theme than "the Enchanted Forest?" The shop windows are full of flowers, leaves and berries. The wonderful colour of the exhibited gemstones evoke nature, mountains and the forest. Diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and rubies … Salvadori Jewels.
The old hall in the Museo Correr is used to house creations for various jewelers. Marzia Pendini is the youngest designer and exhibits works – jewellery including Gondola and Venetian Carnival brooches and the Red Ruga pendant with a cabochon ruby of over thirty carats which has been transformed into a nice turtle and other pieces that marked her debut as a jewellery designer.

Miley Cyrus Goes from Guy to Guy on 18th Birthday
Even though there have been a ton of photos floating around, showing Nickelodeon star Avan Jogia pretty much slobbering and pawing all overMiley Cyrus, she may have been two-timing him with ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth during the span of three days!
Miley's a player, y'all!
Gee, I wonder where she got those tendencies from? Perhaps the apple really doesn't fall too far from the tree?
After partying it up on Sunday with Avan, Miley proceeded to hit up Matsuda in the Valley with her ex, Liam. Of course Avan was nowhere to be found... you can't have the boyfriends running into each other!
A source on the scene said, "Miley was relaxed and having fun, and of course there was a connection between her and Liam. They dated for so long and were so serious, it's like they can't deny their special relationship with each other.
Miley went through the front exit, while Liam snuck out of the back! Sneaky!

It's funny how ideas come at the strangest moments, isn't it? I met up with a good friend and colleague last week but for various reasons we hadn't actually seen each other properly for some time. We settled ourselves for a good long discussion about work, life, the universe and anything else that cropped up.
We go back a long way. Debbie and I were child care social workers many moons ago and both of us are now self employed, albeit in differing roles. Debbie reminded me of something I had said to her when she had an important court appearance which was creating huge amounts of stress for her, as child care proceedings always do. I said to her-
" Just remember that every member of the bench was sitting on the loo this morning and they are actually only humans."
A Course is Born!
I had forgotten saying it but she hadn't. And so we got to talking about our early experiences of appearing in court, being cross examined, and how our confidence had grown to the point where we were able to totally focus on the matter on the hand, and not on whether we'd fall out of the witness box (yes, I once did that!)
And suddenly the idea for a course to inspire confidence in court was born! There are plenty of courses which explain procedure, the make up of the court, practising cross examination etc (and very good most of them are too) but we are planning something different. Debbie still works in the legal system as an expert witness (among other things) and I coach and train people to be more confident and assertive (among other things)! A perfect combination!
Market Research
And so I need your help please! If you know any professionals who need to be confident in court, possibly those who don't attend on a regular basis, could you please forward them this post and ask them to get in touch via my contact page. I will then email them a few questions, only a few, I promise!
And if you have any thoughts or suggestions please feel free to comment on this post.

Yet again we think the same way … I remember telling junior members of staff not to be worried about speaking to the Directors of the company. The image I placed in their minds was exactly the same as yours – they had their pants around their ankles as they sat on the loo this morning too!!
I think this is a great idea – court for the uninitiated is a daunting place, cross examination can feel very personal. The ability to speak clearly, confidently and succinctly is crucial.
Best of luck, and if we can be of any assistance, give us a shout 🙂
