"A very happy birthday @NSaina Wishing you a great and successful year ahead," Rani wished.
Earlier, informing about her health, Saina had posted on instagram saying: "So some sad news. I was really going through acute stomach pain from last Monday. I managed to play few matches in All England with lot of pain and decided to skip Swiss Open and come back to India and find out the issue and I found out it's Acute Gastroenteritis with mild pancreatitis and the doctors have recommended me to get admitted and hopefully I recover soon out of it."

The week is over for SKE48's latest single [Oki Doki]. How did it fare? On the first day sales I expressed some concern about the lower than expected sales figures. Did it manage to pull through?
It did in fact! Oki Doki sold 382,802 copies in it's debut week, just barely breaking Pareo wa Emerald's 1st week by 4,055. Too close for comfort for me. Hopefully their next single will do much better.
Oki Doki (オキドキ)
SKE's a-sides never fail to impress; their lively and sharp dancing only serves to compound this track's utter greatness. The hook is wonderfully catchy, one listen and you're bound to remember it for weeks to come. The retro-rock inspired intro and the jump that the girls perform when they shout "Oki Doki" are some additional highlights of this track and its PV. While the song may be one of SKE's best to date, I can't say the same about the video; I'm guessing that management spent its whole budget filming Pareo wa Emerald? I understand that the set is supposed to resemble a 'Westside Story'-esque backdrop, but it looks more like the alleyway of a casino, except ten times more spacious. That aside, here's to hoping that SKE48 will keep the train rolling with more amazing title songs.
Bazooka-hou Hassha! (バズーカ砲発射!)
Compared to the borefest that was Tokimeki no Ashiato, this song is light-years better in that there was actually some energy spent in writing this song. I'm happy that Shirogumi is finally experiencing some change in musical genre; I was sure that they would be stuck singing ballads forever. However, this is still your typical Undergirls b-side and I would not bother comparing it to Oki Doki.
Hohoemi no Positive Thinking (微笑のポジティブシンキング)
Looks like Akagumi has done away with their former dark and cool image in exchange for an innocent one. I mean… they're singing a ballad and wearing white; one could have mistaken them for Shirogumi, or at least the casual fan would. This song is in no way boring as it is more akin to an uplifting pop-ballad than an actual slow tune. There is a single solo line sung by Rena featured in this b-side; I've never really paid much attention to her Rena's singing, and now that I have heard her voice, I think the song could've done without it.
Hatsukoi no Fumikiri (初恋の踏切)
Glad that the entire group has been given a decent song to sing. Generic, but still fun and cute; it sounds almost like a stage song. The guitar verses also help in making this song a bit better than it actually is. The girls' voices blend so well together; I'm quite surprised that there are actually more than 48 members featured in this song. Overall, a worthy b-side.
Utaoyo, Bokutachi no Kouka (歌おうよ、僕たちの校歌)
The second song to feature SKE48's 8 front-girls. I really enjoyed their last song, and had hoped that this song would be just as awesome. This is one of those tracks you have to warm up to if ballads aren't your cup of tea. I, for one, love it; in my opinion, this is one of SKE's best mellow songs. The lines are also distributed well among the members. I would love to see the group close a concert/event with a performance of this song.
I'm just blown away by how SKE48's musical repertoire is improving. Although I may not fancy a few of their older b-sides, I absolutely adore the single and its songs. I'm just wondering how long SKE can keep this up; I didn't have high expectations for them because most of management's attention usually goes to AKB. Please support the girls by purchasing a copy of this single!

Richard Price, CEO of ORR, on Residential Railway Noise, Vibration and Sustainability
Context: NVAG Posted an Article on Railways's 3Rs, Roles, Regulations an Responsibilities an article that concluded with an open letter to Richard Price, CEO of the Office of Rail Regulation.
Richard Price, CEO of ORR, Responded as Follows (also available as a PDF file from ORR's website):
Dear Mr McIver,
6 February 2015
Thank you for your open letter of 21 January regarding noise and vibration
from railway operations.
As well as having led work on the economics of sustainable development, I
live next to the railway myself, so I fully understand your concerns and the
importance of this issue. It really matters, and affects the quality of people's
lives. I also recognise that the legal framework for the oversight and
enforcement of noise and vibration levels on the railways is not
straightforward – so let me try to set out the different responsibilities clearly.
In general, obligations and rights in relation to environmental pollution and
nuisance are determined by specific acts of Parliament, notably the
Environmental Protection Act 1990. The Act also places responsibility for
investigation and enforcement with local authorities. It is for these
enforcement bodies under environmental law to establish whether or not a
particular business is compliant or not, and to determine the appropriate
Our role at ORR in regulating infrastructure companies such as Network Rail
is to hold them to account through their licences for delivering high levels of
performance, safety and service as well as good value for money. In relation
to railway companies, our regulatory remit includes making punctuality and
providing reliable passenger information conditions of their licences.
2 434396
You will understand that in general, it makes sense to avoid 'double
regulation' – that is, different bodies setting different standards or imposing
different sanctions for the same legal obligations. In relation to Network Rail
and other rail businesses, we expect them to comply with their obligations
under environmental and other law, in the same way as any other business.
There are however some specific environmental and sustainable development
requirements on railway businesses, and on us as the regulator for the
industry, which I will describe.
As you know, one of our primary legal responsibilities is ensuring that health
and safety risks posed by the railways are properly controlled. Our role in
dealing with environmental pollution or nuisance noise caused by railway
services, is limited to ensuring that operators, under their licences, have both
an environmental policy statement on which we can comment and
management arrangements to give effect to the policy.
The Railways Act 1993 also places two statutory duties upon the ORR which
relate specifically to sustainable development and the environment. These
to contribute to the achievement of sustainable development; and
to have regard to the effect on the environment of activities connected
with the provision of railway services
We regulate Network Rail under a licence which contains a number of
conditions they must follow. Condition 23 requires Network Rail to have an up
to date written policy to protect the environment from the effect of its licenced
activities taking into account any guidance by ORR. Further details of
Network Rail's sustainability development plans and strategy can be found on
their website (I'm including links to the documents at the end of this letter).
In the first instance, the issue of train noise or vibration is an operational
matter for the train operating company concerned and/or Network Rail, as the
infrastructure controller, to deal with, and in legal terms, noise and vibration
are regarded as a statutory nuisance rather than a specific threat to health or
safety. The Environmental Protection Act 1990, which is enforced by the local
authorities, is the appropriate legislation for dealing with nuisance noise and
environmental pollution. If a member of the public is concerned about noise
and vibration disturbance from the railway, they should therefore to raise it
with their local authority environmental health officer, who is responsible for
enforcement of such an issue under section 79 of that Act.
3 434396
Even this enforcement route may not be open to the complainant, however,
since in relation to the railways, section 122 of the Railways Act 1993 provides
Network Rail and train operators with a statutory defence against a nuisance
claim brought by the local authority. If the local authority is able to
demonstrate that the noise or vibration is being caused by a party acting
negligently or without reasonable diligence, then it is my understanding that
the statutory defence might be beaten.
Another approach may be for the complainant to seek civil remedies and
compensation against the party causing vibration (perhaps under Part 1 of the
Land Compensation Act 1973, if there is a depreciation in the value of the
complainant's land caused by new, additional or altered works to the relevant
part of the railway). However, the complainant would need to seek their own
legal advice on this point. Network Rail's website provides guidance on how it
will investigate a claim that vibration is causing damage, but it stipulates that
the complainant needs to provide a surveyor's report as to the damage before
it will investigate.
Finally, we are involved with the industry's Noise Policy Working Group
(NPWG) which is currently reviewing research in relation to acoustic track
quality, to supplement mapping work and recorded data on areas affected by
railway noise developed by the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural
Affairs (DEFRA). Network Rail has planned activities between 2014-19,
including rail profile grinding and electrification projects, which will support
mitigation of the noise impacts identified in DEFRA's latest noise mapping
round. We will continue to monitor Network Rail's work and engage with the
NPWG on these important issues. We will seek assurance that Network Rail
has reflected this new evidence in its environmental policy statement and
supporting management documents.
I hope this helps to answer your questions, and to explain the roles of ORR
and other regulatory bodies in relation to environmental law and sustainable
development. Please feel free to put this letter on your website, and I will
place it on ours.
Yours sincerely
Chief Executive

The late and still-lamented Al Weisel, who posted under the nom de Web Jon Swift, started the tradition of a yearly roundup of "the best posts of the year from small blogs, chosen by the bloggers themselves."
After Al died, Batocchio at Vagabond Scholar took on the sizable task, and this year's roundup has now been posted. Do check it out; you will surely find hours of good reading as well as at least a couple of blogs you'll want to check again.
My own choice was this post, in which I said how in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombing I was more frightened by the instant imposition of what amounted to martial law and even more than that by the meek submission to it, than I was by the actual bombing. "Why are we such a frightened people," I asked, without offering an answer.
It certainly wasn't my most popular (in terms of hit count) post, nor, I believe, my best-written. I chose it, I expect, because even months later it's one where I still recall the feeling I had when I did it.
But for the curious and the statistics-minded among you, here are my top 10 posts for 2013, as ranked by hit count and in decreasing order.
1. More on NSA spying (October 4)
2. Recent news on global warming (September 5)
3. The real story of "the first Thanksgiving" (November 27)
4. Hero Award: Ladar Levison (October 11)
5. Some random comments about Obamacare (November 22)
6. Outrage of the Week: death penalty proposed in Massachusetts (May 9)
7. Global warming: recent news (May 9)
8. The Boston Marathon bombings (April 18) (Note that this is a different post from the one I chose.)
9. Guns: They do not make you safer (February 7)
10. The little thing: 73% of the vote is "far left?" (December 13)

I've noticed a bit of a disturbing trend and shift in people calling themselves polyamorous, when what they really mean is polysexual.
I've also noticed that in several articles that I've read recently that there is a playing down or complete removal of the love component from the writers views about polyamory.
So I'm really beginning to wonder what's actually happening out there, in the ever expanding landscape of ethical non-monogamy and relationship anarchy; Is love now officially a dirty word?
I'm beginning to wonder if this bright new online dating era has backfired and brought about a quantum shift in our views, to a point where we are starting only to see people as objects rather than as human beings who are capable of being valued and loved or simply hurt and discarded?
If that is the case I want no part of that brave new world or perhaps it's just a case of people misusing the terminology as they start to explore this potential rich new dating landscape.
Lets face it, ethical non-monogamy is really starting to grow in popularity as an alternative relationship structure which in my view is a good thing. I therefore suppose that polyamory is just one of many subsets of that broader term or maybe I'm just more of an old romantic at heart than I care to admit.
In closing, for me personally an intimate relationship without love and care is not really something I have much interest in or wish to be a part of.

3.1. Extractive sector in Cameroon
Cameroon has substantial hydrocarbon resources, including offshore oil deposits. Cameroon also hosts on its territory the pipeline which serves as a route for transportation of Chad's oil production.
It also has a sub-soil rich in mineral resources, which includes bauxite, cobalt, gold, diamonds, iron and uranium, all of which are still relatively underexploited.
Bauxite reserves are located in the North of the country, in the Western Adamaoua region. Cobalt reserves are mainly available in the South East, near the town of Dschang. The main deposits of gold and diamonds which have been discovered are located around the Bétarié-Oya city in the East of the country. Cadre réglementaire et contexte du secteur des hydrocarbures
3.2. Regulatory framework and context of the hydrocarbons sector
3.2.1. General context of the hydrocarbons sector8
Oil exploration in Cameroon effectively began in 1947. The first research permit for hydrocarbons was granted on 16 April 1952 in the Douala Basin. Cameroon effectively became an oil producer in 1977. From 1980 to 1986, the country experienced its most active exploration and production period, with a record production of 186,000 barrels/day in 1985.
Since then, production has declined due to the depletion of reserves, the ageing infrastructure and the deferral of certain development projects and investments in the wake of the financial crisis.
In 2013, oil production reached 24.2 million barrels. This production comes mostly from offshore fields in the Rio del Rey basin, while the rest comes from the Douala basin. Rio del Rey is an old deposit that extends to 7 000 km² in the Niger delta and generates 90% of national oil production. The deposit of Douala/Kribi-Campo, located on the West Coast of Cameroon, covers an area of 19,000 Km2 of which 7,000 Km2 are onshore.
Cameroon produced 24.28 million barrels of oil in 2013 which represents an increase of 11% compared to 2011. This rise is mainly due to Perenco which became the main operator on the Rio Del Rey basin, after the resumption of Total E & P which produced most of the oil in Cameroon. According to NHC, Perenco reopened some wells and has embarked on the optimisation of these mature fields. In addition, Addax who took over Pecten, the second operator in production, has conducted similar operations in the Mokoko Abana field (Rio del Rey basin).
Proven reserves decreased from a maximum of 555 million barrels in 1986 to an estimated of 200 million barrels in 20139, mainly due to decrease of oil deposits. Annex 7 shows the map of Cameroon oil blocks at 31 December 2014.
3.2.2. Legal and fiscal Framework
Hydrocarbon exploitation in Cameroon is carried out in accordance with Act No. 99/013 of 22 December 1999 related to the Hydrocarbon Code and its implementation Decree No. 2000/485 of 30 June 2000, General taxes and Hydrocarbon Contract Codes.
Authorisation of exploitation related to an hydrocarbon contract could be either a concession for exploitation in the case of a Concession Contract (CC) or an exclusive authorisation of exploitation in the case of a Shared Production Contract.
CC gives to the oil company exclusive rights to explore, develop, produce and commercialise the resource by taking the associated risks at its own expense. In return for the concession, the contractor is required to pay royalties and taxes. Currently, oil production contracts are concluded in the form of CC.
For Production Sharing Agreements (PSA), the State retains ownership of oil resources in the ground. The agreement between the State and the oil company stipulates that the latter bears all the exploration and development costs in return for a share of production, but entitles the oil company the right to explore, develop and produce oil.
Oil contracts and the Petroleum Code provide the State with a set of tax instruments such as:
The sector also benefits from tax exemptions and incentives which relate mainly to VAT, import duties and withholding taxes on dividends, except for withholding taxes held by NHC.
With regards to confidentiality, Article 105 of Decree No 2000/465 of 30 June 2000 sets out the procedure for applying Law No 99/013 of 22 December 1999 on the Petroleum Code as follows:
"The Minister in charge of hydrocarbons preserves the confidentiality of all documents, reports, statements, plans, data, samples and other information submitted by the holder under the Code, the implementing decrees and the Hydrocarbon Contract. This information may not be disclosed to third parties by the Administration prior to rendering the scope to which they relate or, before the end of Petroleum Operations in the absence of rendering. If those documents, reports, statements, plans, data, samples and other information referred to in the preceding paragraph are covered by a confidentiality obligation stipulated in the Hydrocarbon Contract, the State, institutions and public bodies are required to comply with this obligation".
Information related to contracts is therefore confidential and cannot be not disclosed to the public.
3.2.3. Institutional framework
The hydrocarbon sector is under the supervision of the Ministry of Mines, Industry and Technological Development11. This ministry is responsible for the development and implementation of policies for the sector as well as the management and evaluation of extractive resources and monitoring of the hydrocarbon sector. The following structures represent the institutional framework for petroleum activities in Cameroon:

Arranging a Tax-Free 401(k) or Individual Retirement Account Rollover in Colusa
Saving for retirement is something that many people in the area would do well to take more seriously. There can ultimately be no substitute for putting away money for many years and watching it grow as investments produce returns. Even among those who take such responsibilities most seriously, though, a lack of understanding about particular details sometimes leads to problems of its own. Some diligent investors, for example, fail to recognize the requirements associated with rolling over one 401(k) or IRA balance or distribution to a new one. Working with a professional to make sure that any such Rollover in Colusa will be successful can turn out to be extremely valuable.
Just as the Internal Revenue Service lays down and enforces rules regarding contributions to 401(k) and Individual Retirement Accounts of various kinds, so does it dictate how balances contained in them can be moved without incurring penalties. The IRS seeks to encourage, in fact, investors to roll over their accumulated balances when changing employers or working through other relevant events and makes the proper processes for doing so quite clear.
As can be seen online at Ryanwealth.com, arranging for a rollover in Colusa that will not result in unnecessary taxes or penalties, therefore, turns out to be fairly straightforward, although there are also some specialized details to account for. As a result, many people in the area will do well to consult with an investment professional before making any such move in order to be sure that all the relevant requirements will be met.
In practice, most successful IRA rollovers take one of three forms. In some cases, the administrator of the original plan can simply be directed to transfer the balance straight to a new one. In others, account trustees can be asked to coordinate the movement of funds. Finally, it is also generally possible for the beneficiary to accept a distribution from the original plan and deposit it in tax-free fashion into a qualifying account within 60 days. While any one of these three basic approaches might be plainly most appropriate to particular situations, investment advisors will often be able to help with not only choosing the most suitable option but also making sure that it is carried out properly.

Zoo Lights at the Lincoln Park Zoo
Visiting the Zoo Lights at Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo is one of our annual traditions. We skip it when the winter's are too cold to be outside at night comfortably for very long. This year, however, the December nights have been gorgeous for strolling around the zoo.
We took a trip to the zoo earlier this month. Mr. Dude had a blast! Here he is watching a light show and chowing down on some popcorn. Yes, he needed a tissue, but that was a constant battle the whole night.
Light tunnel.
Family photo! We had to bribe him with popcorn to get the smile, but it worked.
This was Mr. Dude the whole night.
The official promotional video gives a pretty great overview of the night if you've never been. The event is sponsored by ComEd and PowerShares QQQ so its free to attend. If you don't walk or take public transit to the zoo you'll need to only pay for parking… and of course snacks if you want popcorn, beer or hot chocolate. The lights are still going through January 3, 2016 if you can make it out for a visit. You're family will love it!

Basis Neuro
UnicornGO, a developer of a new online game closely integrated with blockchain and VR technologies, announced plans for cooperation with Basis Neuro in its blog and posted an interview with its founders Nikolay Sviridov and Dmitry Lazurenko in mid-February. https://goo.gl/ybSNCT
UnicornGO is an online game where users can create unicorn characters, raise them, feed, buy and sell game artifacts and even interbreed their pets.
The neural interface technology is expected to dramatically expand and improve game plots — the user will be able to control their character mentally, and the latter, in turn, like the entire game space, will accurately respond to the intentions and mood of the user, offering various options for activities aiming to deliver positive emotions to the player, like a real pet.
The idea implementation, first of all, requires to create a fully-featured device that will read the user's brain activity indicators and transfer them to the game. Therefore, the companies agreed to make efforts to create a headset for the neural interface together.
The reason for optimism is the fact that soon after the decision on cooperation, UnicornGO informed its partners about the readiness of its colleagues from the Silicon Valley to work on the industrial design of the first Basis Neuro serial neural interface. These specialists have already worked on Tesla and Rolls-Royce design, so we undoubtedly expect to have some of the best examples of high-tech devices. The key saying of the Basis Neuro CEO Nikolay Sviridov used to be "put iPhone 12, a smart watch and a neural interface in the line and it should be complete", but now, apart from that, you will perfectly look in the ultramodern and premium cars wearing your neural headset. The team of designers has already submitted some sketches, and they look amazing.
Basis Neuro has set a six-month deadline for the implementation of the joint neural interface development project, which involves the creation of serial models of neural headsets to monitor user's state and control external devices. UnicornGO will get the right for priority integration with devices, and the Basis Neuro team will later develop and release serial neural stimulators.
Basis Neuro, registered in the Cayman Islands, is a company engaged in developing and manufacturing neural interfaces (devices for external interface control based on mental commands), as well as VR neural headsets for mental control in VR apps. The company's own scientific lab has been constantly working on the company's products since 2007, all technologies are patented.

This is part three of our series highlighting strengths and pitfalls of three very distinct training methods, relayed by way of The Three Little Pigs analogy. Every training progresses through the same basic stages, from design through to implementation, but the pedagogy, mode of training and the corresponding retention that results offer very dissimilar results – much like the fate of the three little pigs. The construction of the training is important.
Brick training homes are fairly new, with other new constructions in the unchartered territory this neighborhood fringes upon blanketing the horizon. They're modern, sporting the latest gadgets but also tried and true standbys – the plumbing is as it always would be, but each home comes standard with smart thermostats and other connected systems.
The rush to be first is strong here, but it doesn't result in sloppy craftsmanship so much as an overabundance of it. A few homes offer a handful of add-ons no one is ready for, nor fully understand how to adequately operate, like motion sensing bidets, but they exist none-the-less and its owners are glad for them. Informed early adoption is the name of the game here, with some futuristic information sources more credible than others, though all are considered.
It's a place that most aspire to, but are unsure of where to start. And that's where a needs assessment comes in.
Thorough needs assessments & other niceties
Needs assessments in this neighborhood are thorough, exceptionally so. Understanding your home's strengths and weaknesses requires a critical eye, but also a realistic estimation of the process.
Employing the 80/20 Rule, also known as the Pareto Principle, brick house builders know that 20 percent of their resources are responsible for 80 percent of their results. And when applying that principle to training, they explore which areas are experiencing the highest impact to reveal the 20 percent of resources responsible for it.
When deciding what to train for first, the organizations in this neighborhood identify the most pervasive needs and work their way down the list methodically. There are no half-hearted attempts here, no "good enough." And there are certainly no training dollars squandered on less than exceptional ROI-producing brick houses!
There are also realistic expectations around timing here. Brick house builders know they can't expect to slap something together quickly and build something that will stand strong. As part of the planning process, a timeline extending many months, even years is the norm. Haste makes waste and brick house trainings are the opposite of hasty constructions!
Many of training already existed in one form or another, quite a few were stick but had brick underpinnings. There were a few that required demolition (never straw, no one remembers straw training here) to make way for these rebuilt brick structures, but little sleep was lost over the loss. Brick house builders understand the cost of creating an exceptional training from scratch offered better financial return than constantly repairing/partially reframing a struggling stick training with little to offer.
Beyond determining what to train for and resolving to rethink and rebuild for that need anew, the question of which skills to focus on – and how – is always front and center when considering a new brick house training. There are many ways to teach a person to build a house, but the steps, and the progression from one to the next, along with how to assess for mastery, will mean the difference between adequacy and proficiency; between stick and brick outcomes. The focus in a brick training is always, ultimately, long-term proficiency. With this end goal in mind, the training should always be interactive, visual and portable.
Long-term retention and ROI of interactive simulations
Performing an action, either live or simulated, offers much greater retention than the (more) passive training found in stick and straw house training. Brick house training developers understand that the required equipment will not always be available anytime, anywhere for its technicians to train/practice skills and develop the desired proficiency, so they've developed simulated training to accommodate.
Participants thoroughly enjoy brick house training and attend them willingly, with many arriving early to have extra time working with the simulations. And they consistently score high on mastery tests in both short- and long-term assessments, as they have mobile devices equipped with the latest simulations to run through in the field, when the "real" tests occur.
See a quick example of Norfolk Southern Railroad using this for training and evaluation:
This simulated training offers cost savings around travel time and taking equipment out of production to have available for training, and most beneficially – it offers a level of safety unrivaled in stick and straw neighborhoods, where injuries or damaged equipment from less skilled workers can shut down a production line. The brick house town runs efficiently. The "operator error" line item nearly nonexistent.
And then there's the cost of repairing the broken equipment on top of it. Brick house builders anticipate zero time devoted to such things, and as a result, they have more budget left to create additional training – and experiment with new technologies.
Technicians trained in brick houses have solid skills, designed to stand the test of time, and with simulated refreshers available whenever and wherever they need them, and new simulated training on the horizon, the long-term ROI outlook is bright. That is all assuming the savings aren't spent as fast as they're realized . . .
Moving too fast
There's lots of energy in a brick neighborhood and that can be a dangerous thing, as there are lots of "extras" out there to catch a builder's eye. With the needs of the organization under regular scrutiny, it's a simple thing to keep pushing forward, sometimes ahead of the technological curve. This house will not fall down – ever – but it may grow so large you'll get lost in it; forget some nifty options exist after shelling out a pretty penny to add them.
Augmented reality is a case in point. Though it's an interesting concept, it leaves much to be desired. Builders are cautioned to explore low light scenarios (it won't work well) and run it through the same rigorous needs assessment you'd apply to simulated training scenarios. If the end does not justify the means, sit on those plans for a bit till the carbon fiber houses are being constructed – and then you can happily join their ranks. Being first is not always best – just ask the hare (or the tortoise, for a more accurate estimation).
Evaluating impact is where your concerns mostly live in a brick house. You know your foundation is solid and you've created a top-notch training – but is your end game solid? While a brick house doesn't have a strong wind to worry about nor other external forces, there are internal factors that can demolish a brick house just as neatly as a wolf happening upon one made of straw.
Here are some criteria to consider ahead of that next iteration:
__ How much money are we saving on training (brick vs stick and brick vs straw)?
__ How much of that savings is being reinvested in new training?
__ Which training are we doing well? Which not as well & what is the pattern there?
__ Are we devoting dollars to unnecessary updates or creating new training at an acceptable rate?
__ Are we pushing too hard to create new training and not allowing the proper deployment of existing training?
__ Are we considering augmented reality? Why, specifically? What precise purpose will it serve?
__ Will new technology (any variety) increase our ROI in the long-term?
So if you're in a brick house training environment, congratulations – but beware becoming a McMansion. It's unlikely your infrastructure is prepared to support it, nor should it!

MONTAUK, N.Y. — The summertime crowds packed up and left after Labor Day, and the next summer-share season is months away. That leaves mostly the year-round Montaukers to weigh in on a cable-television reality series called "Summer House." And they are not waiting to watch the first episode before offering their reaction: frosty.
"It's not very popular in this town," Linda Knips, a practitioner of reiki, a Japanese a stress-reduction and relaxation technique, said of the series. "This has become a town associated with coming to party. The show amplifies that. That's not the real town."
"Summer House" is about nine people in pursuit of sand, surf, sun and sex, not necessarily in that order. They share a house with sunset views, a kitchen counter that can be danced on at 4 a.m. and rent as low as $45,000 a month. Bravo, the cable network that will broadcast "Summer House" starting Jan. 16, promises "boozy brunches, beachfront thrills, rosé parties, charity galas, bonfires and jaw-dropping hookups."
So a preview on Bravo's website has scenes in beds in which no one is paying attention to the sheet thread counts. The preview shows the inevitable lip locks — one messy kiss involves a third party that looks like layer cake. The cast's preferred way of working off calories might well involve some other person.
To Montaukers, there is a disconnect between the Montauk on the show and the Montauk that does not decamp once Labor Day arrives — a place filled with families, fishermen and carpenters. Their idea of the place is at odds with a monologue in the preview by one of the house-sharers, Kyle Cooke.
"Everybody's heard of the Hamptons — that's like your mom's friend who wears pearls," he said. "My group of friends, we go to Montauk. Montauk is like your mom's friend's daughter, who's a little promiscuous — and by 'a little,' I mean a lot."
So much for the idea that Montauk was a casual hamlet at the far end of the Hamptons — more informal, more relaxed, more down to earth. There was a time when Andy Warhol and Mick Jagger could go almost unnoticed, as could the Ponzi schemer Bernard L. Madoff.
As Emily Jane Fox wrote in Vanity Fair last year, "Montauk was a place where cod fishermen, artists, waitresses, rock stars, deckhands, and an occasional billionaire in board shorts surfed together in the morning and drank beers together at night. 'A drinking town with a fishing problem,' locals say, over and over."
Now Montauk is a popular destination in spite of itself, and it has its problems: real estate that sells for Hamptonesque prices; restaurants that are very, very chic and very, very crowded; and "Summer House."
"I thought it was about bad behavior," said Victoria Phillips, who has spent weekends in eastern Long Island for 25 years, "and I don't want to encourage that."
As a reality series, "Summer House" is different from scripted shows set in Montauk like "Revenge," a nighttime soap opera on ABC from 2011 to 2015, or "The Affair" on Showtime, now in its third season. Bravo's website says that in "Summer House," "the crew is bringing the party to Montauk." The Long Island newspaper Newsday said "Summer House" was also bringing "Jersey Shore-esque" hot tub scenes.
The hot tub appears to be in perhaps the most distinctive architectural feature of the shingle-sided house, a two-story octagonal wing. The house — with four bedrooms, four and a half baths, a two-car garage and a swimming pool — is at the far edge of a 1,755-acre state park, but the only way in or out involves crossing the Long Island Rail Road tracks just north of Montauk Highway. In the Hamptons, the more expensive houses are south of the highway, closer to the Atlantic Ocean.
The house has a water view from the upper level, but the water is not the ocean, it is Napeague Harbor, which leads to Napeague Bay and, eventually, to Long Island Sound. On the way a boater could pass Gardiners Island, one of the largest privately owned islands in the country.
But Paul Monte, president of the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, said the party was not in Montauk, because the "Summer House" house is really not in Montauk, even though some real estate sites say it is. A few place it in East Hampton, but while it is technically in the Town of East Hampton — a sprawling jurisdiction that reaches all the way to Montauk — it is far from what most Hamptonites think of as East Hampton.
As for being in Montauk, the word at the Montauk Post Office is that the house is in Amagansett.
"That's Hollywood — Hollywood can film anywhere and say it's Montauk," said Larry Cantwell, supervisor of the Town of East Hampton.
He said the Town of East Hampton had denied permits for "Summer House" to tape scenes on public property. Concerns about congestion, not content, dictated the denials, he said, adding that July and August, the months for which the show sought the permits, are always the busiest, with traffic the heaviest and beach crowds the thickest.
Allowing a television show crew, any crew, on some already crowded streets would have been too much, Mr. Cantwell said. He said the town had encouraged other shows that use the town as a backdrop to avoid shooting outdoors in July and August. He said most had complied.
A spokeswoman for Bravo emailed an upbeat statement from Steven Weinstock, an executive producer of "Summer House" and a chief executive of True Entertainment, one of the production companies behind the program. "Production, cast and crew all had very positive and respectful interactions with the community," he said.
"East Hampton understandably set certain limitations for filming during high season," he said, "and we planned our shoots from Day 1 with respect to their guidelines." He said that the communities and businesses that had allowed the cameras in "were great partners" and that residents "who participated in the show also gave us terrific feedback."
Whether Montaukers will watch "Summer House" is an open question.
"We don't care," Bruce Howard, a postal worker in Montauk, said.
He laughed and said, "Of course we care," adding, "I think they're doing a bad number on us."

Coogee Sand Castle House
The Coogee Sand Castle house was created from the bones of a simple 1940's brick bungalow, substantially remodeling the building to create a new home for a family of four.
The site is located near the top of the hill with water views up and down the coast and to ocean. From the site there is a particular focus down onto nearby Wedding Cake Island.
Rising out of the sandy substrate, the walls of the house extend into a series of retaining walls, which sculpt and contain the natural surroundings. The lower structure creates a solid base which acts as the body of the home, providing entry on the middle level and also sanctuary and privacy to the sleeping and service areas. This part of the building also acts as a cradle to the more expressive upper sections of the residence.
The living areas, both internal and external, occupy the upper level of the building. Two living blocks rest on the cradle, reaching out to the ocean and anchoring back into the steep site – shifting forwards and backwards in response to the internal living plan and the creation of protected external spaces. The northern living area is a wrapping of space, open to the north, providing protection to the south. The east-west transparency of this area connects the rear western garden to the ocean.
The southern living spaces are more introverted, opening out on to the garden or terminating in a window seat framing the sea view, hovering over the edge of the building base below. The two living blocks are held apart by lower levels roofs to ensure independent expression and differing internal spaces within an essentially open plan. The roof's stepped nature allows for high-level solar access deep into the building.
Throughout the home the ocean views are ever present, but each room strives to capture a different portion of the vast ocean and coast, deliberately limiting and framing the views so as to provide a changing array of interest from every space.
The landscape is designed to augment two existing 50 year-old cacti, which managed to survive the construction process, with a mixture of coastal tolerant succulents and natives.

I am waiting impatiently for some tomatoes to ripen. I have up to 10 different varieties of heirloom tomatoes in the garden - all from Diggers' - and it's quite interesting to see the different plants shapes as they grow.
Amish Paste is a voluminous and blowzy kind of plant which needs 3 stakes to keep the different branches upright. It has been much slower to set fruit than any of the others, despite being at least twice the size of any of them, hence I have not bothered to take any pictures.
Tigerella is a medium sized plant and a little lanky. The tomatoes are striped and so pretty, they will ripen to orange.
Peach Dreams is another lanky plant, quite small although perhaps it just feels neglected. The fruits seem small, and are furry like their namesake. They'll ripen to yellow or a pinky-red.
My Black Russian tomato is a lean plant. The fruits are a gorgeous dark and glossy green, and will ripen to a burgundy ('black'). I'm really looking forward to trying these.
My favourite tomato so far is the tiny Wild Sweetie. The bush is lovely and leafy, pyramid shaped. The fruit is only pea-sized. I admit, I chose this one for it's name which I loved, but it's definitely the prettiest tomato plant out there.
The other heirloom tomatoes I have have been grown from a seed mix of Burnley Sure Crop (red), Black Prince (black), Banana Legs (yellow), Aunt Ruby's German (green) and more orange Tigerella. Some of them are flowering, but none yet have fruit large enough to see what each plant is; a tasty lucky dip!

A concert-goer has told Metro.co.uk that he raised security issues at Manchester Arena weeks ago – but his concerns were brushed off.
At least 22 people were killed and another 120 injured when a suicide bomber detonated a nail bomb near the entrance to the venue, towards the end of a sold-out Ariana Grande concert.
It's believed there were around 21,000 people – many of whom were children and teenagers – inside the arena at the time.
Since then, those who were at the gig have said they were allowed to walk through without having to undergo any checks.
Kieran told Metro.co.uk that he had gone to Manchester Arena five weeks ago for a The Who gig – and security was so lax, he and his friends almost managed to sit in better seats without the right tickets.
'We never got searched, no bag searches, no ID required upon entry, no security outisde of the stadium or in the car parks,' he said.
Later, Kieran and his friend had tried to sit in a better area closer to the stage.
'Basically we just walked down the steps to the lower tier and there was no steward manning the gate, we walked onto the lower ground.'
It was only after they asked someone if they could pay to upgrade that they were asked about their tickets.
As they were escorted back to their section, they asked the stewards: 'If two innocent lads can walk through your security, past various gates on to the lower tier – no bags searched or questions asked – then what's to stop just anybody rolling into the arena?'
In response, the staff reportedly said: 'Unfortunately that's what we are up against. Some, not all, of our staff will take payments for back-handed entry. We can't check you all and can't check all bags – it's a case of us employing people and trusting them, but we cannot guarantee this.'
Kieran added that, when pressed about the terrorism threat, the staff members 'played ignorant'.
'Surely those stewards are there to protect the audience?' Kieran added.
Kieran's friend, Mike, added that he is supposed to see Radiohead perform at the arena in July – but in light of the security issues, he 'might not'.
It comes as two other men who went to see Ariana Grande perform last night said their bags weren't checked.
'Apparently, bags weren't being checked,' one of the men said, before the other added: 'We never got checked.'
He added: 'A few people that we spoke to, like friends that we'd met before and after the gig, said their bags weren't checked or anything like that.
'Usually, I'm quite a regular gig-goer, so I'm used to getting bags checked for security purposes. But there was no… They just scanned the tickets and we went straight in.'
Several other witnesses said they were waved through without any checks.
Chris Pawley told Fox News that there seemed to be 'no security whatsoever'.
He said: 'I've been to concerts before and sometimes you get patted down and empty your pockets. There was absolutely nothing at this concert tonight. We just literally got our tickets scanned and went straight in.'
Another concert-goer, a mum who was seeing Ariana Grande with her daughter, told Sky News that stewards ignored her concerns about a woman who was sitting next to them.
She also said that 'the security was awful' and that 'they never checked bags at all'.
'We had somebody sat next to us, she looked very suspicious and was fidgeting all the time with her bag on the floor and she was by herself,' she said.
'She was looking in the direction of where the explosion actually happened all night. She was smirking to herself and we got suspicious. My friend, who was sitting next to her, said "I don't like this".'
She said they then told security, but 'nothing was done about it'.
'Later on, as the concert was going on, she was becoming more and more agitated with her bag on the floor,' she continued.
'I actually sat next to her and nudged her arm intentionally to speak to her, and said "Sorry about that, are you by yourself?" and she said "Yes" and spoke to me, but I didn't understand her.'
When her daughter Holly went to raise it with security, they reportedly told her: 'How would you like it if someone accused you of this?'
The woman added: 'One to two minutes before the concert finished she disappeared and the explosion went off.'
Metro.co.uk has contacted SMG Venues and Manchester Arena for comment.

- The explosion rocked the Manchester Arena at the conclusion of a performance by the American star Ariana Grande.
- Manchester Arena said the explosion happened outside the venue, as people began streaming from the doors.

- The blast is being treated as a terrorist incident.
- More than 400 officers were deployed on the operation throughout Monday night.

- Vigils were held in cities all over the country the next day, May 23
- Theresa May has raised the UK's terror threat level from 'severe' to 'critical' - the highest level.
Theresa May has made a statement in Downing Street following the Manchester attack. She said: 'Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and the families and friends of all those affected.
'It is now beyond doubt that the people of Manchester and of this country have fallen victim to a callous terrorist attack, an attack that targeted some of the youngest people in our society with cold calculation.
'This was among the worst terrorist incidents we have ever experienced in the United Kingdom.'

Definitions Of Instructional Expertise
If There's Privacy In The Digital Age, It Has A New Definition : All Tech Thought of Even staunch privateness advocates are concluding that it is unattainable to guard private data utterly. With over 30{498075c2e086c67c9ecd3fb24a4f22c277d75e55f0a74587ca92b416a4245eca} of knowledge outside the firewall on endpoint devices, IT needs to deal with security and communications in real time, across various locations and bandwidths, with possibly insecure apps loaded on an ever-rising number of units, with constant publicity to malware throughout Internet protocols.
Truly, science and technology have helped cut back unemployment among individuals. Digital businesses create aggressive edges based mostly on distinctive combinations of digital and physical sources. Lecturers can only take full benefit of latest learning applied sciences and on-line educational resources when all students are geared up with a computing system.
We apply technology in almost every little thing we do in our each day lives; we use know-how at work , we use technology for communication , transportation, studying, manufacturing, securing knowledge, scaling companies and so much more. Activities and lessons develop a student's problem-fixing and decision-making skills by way of using human and materials sources, processes, and technological systems.
Nevertheless, development in expertise has created a new economic surroundings which relies on info, and that's what we call the '' DATA AGE ". The data age gives a unique work atmosphere, and this has helped small businesses achieve position in extremely aggressive markets.
Developmentally, this course of takes benefit of the pure order of studying which must incorporate an interactive personal experience with one other, that mixes visual-spatial actions and entails touching, feeling or exploring objects. Person-centred thinking may also lead to a holistic change administration perspective that includes various stakeholders and hyperlinks the digital office strategy into the organization's overall enterprise strategy.

Peter Delia, Co-founder & CEOPeter Delia, Founder and CEO of Ricston will never forget the interaction with an interesting individual that led to the foundation of his company. That individual was Ross Mason, who had developed a successful open source software integration project called Mule which was gaining traction in the enterprise market. While Ross had decided to set up a services company in UK and Malta - SymphonySoft - to address growing demand for Mule, Peter brought knowledge of the Maltese environment and market, as well as access to local engineers to help build the initial team. Later in 2006, when Ross founded MuleSoft, Peter founded Ricston and took on SymphonySoft's team and assets. Peter pointed out that "Ricston was one of the few organizations with Mule expertise in-house and so was also contracted by MuleSoft to provide services for their platform, from inception".
Peter has always been a strong proponent of software integration and the value it brings forth. "For any organization that has project management, time tracking, payroll, and accounting software, when all these systems "talk" to each other, it is preferred to input data only once," he reckons. "The input of work hours per week into a time tracking system should result in all other applications pick up data automatically and then create invoices, payslips, and more." This is the core of software integration that removes repetitive work, and Ricston has helped enterprises achieve this with Mule, the engine at the core of MuleSoft's Anypoint Platform. Mule works as an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that lets users "plug in" applications only once and enables communication between all back-end systems.
Today companies seek to digitally transform their businesses and the Anypoint Platform is widely accepted as being perfectly engineered to support these strategically critical initiatives, Ricston addresses the customers' need for a full cycle solution, whether for a simple integration or full-fledged digital transformation by offering services, training, delivery and support both onsite and remote. "We concluded a reseller agreement with MuleSoft last year and now, Ricston is one of the few partners offering a full cycle solution, along with 10 years of experience working with the MuleSoft platform, at many levels," remarks Peter.
Ricston was one of the few organizations with Mule expertise in-house and so was also contracted by MuleSoft to provide services for Mule, from inception
In addition, Ricston extends its integration work beyond Anypoint Platform to deliver projects with open source integration solutions using tools like Elasticsearch, Kibana, MongoDb, and MapR.
Peter also seeks to support the current strong trend in building an open API layer on top of the systems to enable seamless inter-communications and managed access to your data and systems for third parties. To meet this end, he recommends adoption of an API-based architecture with three layers, to extract information from systems; retain process consistency across platforms and devices; and build intuitive UI. "With this methodology we help organizations to easily add more devices and solutions into the mix, while maintaining high performance of the whole system," remarks Peter. "We leverage our expertise with Anypoint Platform to achieve this feat within a matter of days or weeks rather than months."
Ricston addresses the current overwhelming demand for integration services between cloud and on-premise environments. "Adding just one Ricston consultant to the client's team of 10 Java developers transforms the whole team into a professional integration squad, helping realize seamless integration between these environments," highlights Peter.
Peter believes that MuleSoft's visionary view of enterprise as an application network will further disrupt the software integration arena, and Ricston will actively indulge in this revolution by helping connect each applications and database within an organization through APIs.

A Vermont man was killed Sunday afternoon in a snowmobile crash on a trail in Lunenburg, state police reported.
Police say Richard Ramsay, 52, of Gilman, was thrown from his snowmobile after crashing into a tree that was partially crossing the trail. He was pronounced dead at the scene at approximately 4:00 p.m. Vermont state police were assisted at the scene by the Lunenburg and Lancaster fire departments.
The crash is still under investigation, but authorities said that speed, alcohol and defective brakes are all factors in the crash.

About Reiki
|Reiki is a form of energy healing over 5,000 years old. The Tibetan Buddhist tradition kept this knowledge alive throughout the centuries but it was not widely known.
| The practitioner receives an attunement from a
Master which opens the body to the Reiki energy and imprints the vibration
on the energy field of the student, so that it can be drawn upon at
Once the student, through further instruction and practice has learned the techniques thoroughly, they may wish to advance to the next level, which involves directing the Reiki energy over distance or time. The tools and techniques of level two may be used to direct the energy to life issues including relationships, or work situations, animals, plants or anything you can imagine.
In level three personal evolution is essential and becomes integral to the practitioners way of living. The ability to work with the energy develops and becomes more refined and the practitioner becomes more able to utilize information they receive intuitively.
Eventually, after years of practice and training they may wish to explore the possibility of becoming an apprentice to a Master and eventually a Master-Teacher themselves.

James Rodriguez's Father Keen On Son Joining Ronaldo At Juventus
James Rodriguez's father Wilson has fuelled rumours linking the Colombia international with a move to Juventus.
It was reported by Marca this week that Cristiano Ronaldo phoned James in an attempt to convince his former Real Madrid team-mate to join him at the Serie A champions in the off-season
James is in the second year of a loan spell at Bayern Munich and has only started six Bundesliga matches under Niko Kovac this term, leading to suggestions the club are unlikely to exercise their option to purchase him outright.
The 27-year-old has "many offers" on the table ahead of next season, according to his father, who believes a switch to Italy would be a good choice.
"I see him as very quiet, monosyllabic, not so happy," he told Sport Bild. "A top player has to play.
"He has many offers. [James and Cristiano] are very good friends. As I see Italian football at the moment, [Juve] would be a good decision."
James insists the rumours surrounding his future will not become a distraction and he assured he is on good terms with Kovac despite making just 14 appearances in all competitions.
"There are still four months left and I'm only thinking of Bayern at the moment," James told Bild.
"I belong to Real, but I'm on loan to Bayern so at the moment I'm just thinking of Bayern. I'm here and I'll give everything to the club.
"I have to stay calm and train hard, and when I play, I have to do well.
"We are both professionals. It's a normal relationship between player and coach.".

Hymn of the Universe by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin Hymn of the Universe by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin "Hymn of the Universe" (excerpt) by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Filed in:Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Chapter 1: The Mass On The World
Since once again, Lord — though this time not in the forests of the Aisne but in the steppes of Asia — I have neither bread, nor wine, nor altar, I will raise myself beyond these symbols, up to the pure majesty of the real itself; I, your priest, will make the whole earth my altar and on it will offer you all the labours and sufferings of the world.
Over there, on the horizon, the sun has just touched with light the outermost fringe of the eastern sky. Once again, beneath this moving sheet of fire, the living surface of the earth wakes and trembles, and once again begins its fearful travail. I will place on my paten, O God, the harvest to be won by this renewal of labour. Into my chalice I shall pour all the sap which is to be pressed out this day from the earth's fruits.
My paten and my chalice are the depths of a soul laid widely open to all the forces which in a moment will rise up from every corner of the earth and converge upon the Spirit. Grant me the remembrance and the mystic presence of all those whom the light is now awakening to the new day.
One by one, Lord, I see and I love all those whom you have given me to sustain and charm my life. One by one also I number all those who make up that other beloved family which has gradually surrounded me, its unity fashioned out of the most disparate elements, with affinities of the heart, of scientific research and of thought. And again one by one — more vaguely it is true, yet all-inclusively — I call before me the whole vast anonymous army of living humanity; those who surround me and support me though I do not know them; those who come, and those who go; above all, those who in office, laboratory and factory, through their vision of truth or despite their error, truly believe in the progress of earthly reality and who today will take up again their impassioned pursuit of the light.
This restless multitude, confused or orderly, the immensity of which terrifies us; this ocean of humanity whose slow, monotonous wave-flows trouble the hearts even of those whose faith is most firm: it is to this deep that I thus desire all the fibres of my being should respond. All the things in the world to which this day will bring increase; all those that will diminish; all those too that will die: all of them, Lord, I try to gather into my arms, so as to hold them out to you in offering. This is the material of my sacrifice; the only material you desire.
Once upon a time men took into your temple the first fruits of their harvests, the flower of their flocks. But the offering you really want, the offering you mysteriously need every day to appease your hunger, to slake your thirst is nothing less than the growth of the world borne ever onwards in the stream of universal becoming.
Receive, O Lord, this all-embracing host which your whole creation, moved by your magnetism, offers you at this dawn of a new day.
This bread, our toil, is of itself, I know, but an immense fragmentation; this wine, our pain, is no more, I know, than a draught that dissolves. Yet in the very depths of this formless mass you have implanted — and this I am sure of, for I sense it — a desire, irresistible, hallowing, which makes us cry out, believer and unbeliever alike:
'Lord, make us one.'
Because, my God, though I lack the soul-zeal and the sublime integrity of your saints, I yet have received from you an overwhelming sympathy for all that stirs within the dark mass of matter; because I know myself to be irremediably less a child of heaven than a son of earth; therefore I will this morning climb up in spirit to the high places, bearing with me the hopes and the miseries of my mother; and there — empowered by that priesthood which you alone (as I firmly believe) have bestowed on me — upon all that in the world of human flesh is now about to be born or to die beneath the rising sun I will call down the Fire.
—Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
'In My Soul' by Rabia — 8th C, poetess of Islam
Filed in:Rabia
In my soul there is a temple, a shrine, a mosque, a church.
Prayer should bring us to an altar where no walls or names exist.
Is there not a region of love where the sovereignty is illumined nothing,
where ecstasy gets poured into itself and becomes lost,
where the wing is fully alive but has no mind or body?
In my soul there is a temple, a shrine, a mosque, a church
that dissolve,
that dissolve in God.
"Wings of Love and Longing" - Author Unknown

—-Painting by Rassouli
"Wings of Love and Longing"
Author Unknown
When longing lures us from sleep
to follow the flutter of wings
playing around the heart,
a soft breath carries remembrance
of the long grateful sigh
of breaking free
from whatever binds
and confines
the wings of our souls.
We know on some
deep level,
that we are meant
for soaring.
Perhaps the birds are envoys
to kindle the flame
of remembering.
Captivity can leave
deep grooves
where the chains
we fashion
slowly wear away
our capacity for beauty.
We stop straining
toward the light
and begin to develop
a hunger
for bread alone.
The vision of flight
and the soft shores of silence
disappear into
some amusement ride,
a simulated reality
of forgotten
of the journey from
heart to heart to heart.
What calls us to chip away stone
to find a vision of light
hiding inside?
What summons us to the sea
to sail to the place
where the sky kneels
to touch
a distant shore?
What inspires us
to begin to create music
in tune with
the rhythmic beating
of the heart?
What lures a song
to form from a deep place
within our soul?
Who is the knight without
armor or sword
who comes
riding into the night
to remind us,
the secrets are not
in the moon,
but within our hearts?
It is Love that forever invites
and excites us,
daring us to dream,
to risk, to feel, to imagine,
to turn toward beauty,
toward the light of becoming
and the exalted flight
of freedom
beyond wings.
