"Bankrupt!" (Glassnote)
"Alone, alone, alone," croons Thomas Mars at a choice moment on the new Phoenix album, "Bankrupt!," repeating the refrain thrice more before shifting gears. The song he's singing is "SOS in Bel Air," and the wry premise behind its title — distress signals emitting from privileged enclaves — could easily be applied to the album. For a band that has exploited the whims of style as briskly as Phoenix, this rings of self-conflicted social critique, though it's neither critical nor conflicted enough.
Phoenix, originally from Versailles, France, released its first album in 2000, but it was only with "Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix" (Glassnote), in 2009, that the band found traction with a mainstream audience. If the first few Phoenix albums sounded like the work of a rock band coolly hijacking elements of dance music, "Wolfgang" suggested a dance-music producer's sleek idea of a rock band.
In no time Phoenix found itself on late-night television and on ever-bigger stages. Headlining at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, Calif., a couple of weeks ago, the band trotted out R. Kelly to perform "Ignition (1901 Remix)," a mash-up of hit songs from both camps. (Phoenix is about to go back on tour, and will play a sold-out show at the Apollo Theater on May 13.)
Because of all this — and because "Bankrupt!" includes a tune called "Bourgeois" and an abundance of lyrical disaffection elsewhere — some early commentators have labeled it Phoenix's "post-success" album. Maybe that's an accurate judgment; maybe it submits to an intentional fallacy.
What Mr. Mars tells us himself is willfully inconclusive. "Tell me that you want me," he sings on "Trying to Be Cool," the album's most appealing mentholated-disco tune, though his plea seems to come with air quotation marks. The title track contains a dull instrumental preamble followed by a typical word salad: "Spray pesticide," and "Self-entitled portrait," and "Forever is for everyone else." The segue from a song called "Drakkar Noir" to one called "Chloroform" feels like a dig at predatory masculinity.
More intriguingly, there's "Entertainment," the album's lead single and opening track, in which Mr. Mars seems to offer himself up for consumption while synthesizers trawl an East Asian scale, tracing a garish pop exoticism that the song's video makes explicit. "What I once refused to be/Is everything they long together," he sings in the chorus, adding, "I'd rather be alone."
Later, in "Oblique City," which closes the album, he lands on that word again: "Am I gonna do this alone?/They're 50,000 versus one." And ambivalence or no, what comes shortly thereafter is an invitation, or a challenge: "Come on, come out and get me."
"The Beat" (Concord)
The track now at the top of Billboard's Smooth Jazz Songs chart is "Batucada (The Beat)," by the saxophonist Boney James. It's an instrumental cover of a Marcos Valle tune, made famous by its pop-samba incarnation at the hands of Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66. There's barely a trace of that carbonated flair in the new version, which puts Mr. James and the trumpeter Rick Braun at the foreground of a groove perhaps best classified as Santa Barbara Funk. As pop archaeology it's hopeless, but as a performance it's pretty sharp.
Mr. James is a smooth-jazz standard-bearer, one of the more judicious acts in the game, and there should be no surprise in his choice of emphasis. "The Beat," his satisfying return to the Concord label after a brief stint on Verve Forecast, comes by its title plainly. It's a nod to "Batucada" but also, more to the point, a vow of intent. Mr. James means to toughen up here, without losing sight of his principal function.
If that's a tricky balance to strike, he doesn't give much indication on the album, which he produced himself, enlisting first-call session players like the percussionist Lenny Castro and the drummer Vinnie Colaiuta. A pair of pocket-funk originals, "Powerhouse" (written with Mark Stephens) and "Sunset Boulevard" (written with Brandon Coleman), hold to a template: airtight drums and percussion, slippery electric bass, brooding keyboards and finally, a coolheaded melody articulated on saxophone.
The relaxed charisma of Mr. James's tone, especially on alto and tenor, is one reason this approach works more often than it doesn't. Another reason is his sturdy sense of phrase. Like Grover Washington Jr., a pioneer in this field, he sounds at ease but alert, and he's capable of striking an imploring tone without an overdose of saccharine. (His current tour will bring him to the Bergen Performing Arts Center on Tuesday, and to the B. B. King Blues Club and Grill on May 1.)
And it's no accident that Mr. James, who is white, has had success with an African-American fan base. His albums often feature cameos by midlevel R&B talent, and here that means Raheem DeVaughn, likably insipid on "Maker of Love," and the Floacist, full of whispery pretension on "The Midas (This is Why)."
What works better by far for Mr. James here are the earnest ballads of his own design, like "You Can Count on Me," which eases the album to a warmly reassuring close. The message seems to be, the heart has a beat too. No point in arguing with that.

I didn't quite accomplish as much at yesterday's sew-in as I had hoped, but I did get one project completed, my scrappy quilt top for Quilts with Love. Here's the top, before borders were added:
And here is the border, in progress:
Finally, the finished quilt top:
Isn't it amazing what a border can do?
This pattern, Tammy Tadd's Paislies on Parade, is one of many available as a free download from Camelot Cottons. I changed things up a bit, enlarging it to 84" x 54," to meet the requirements for Quilts with Love, and by making mine super scrappy. But I can see this pattern working well with all kinds of fabrics and color combinations.
Now if my grandson will allow it (I'm babysitting today), I have another border I'd like to work on. Wish me luck!

California judge ruled in favor of coffees needing cancer warning labels
For those of you that live in California, you may have noticed in recent years that cancer warnings are on quite a lot of things now.
I remember when I hadn't heard of the ruling, but suddenly noticed Carl's Jr had this Proposition 65 cancer posting on their wall. I immediately walked out and wanted to never come back- how could Carl's Jr screw up so badly?
Or so I thought at the time.
It wasn't until later that I realized they were just early to comply with a CA ruling, and that any restaurant that cooks (yeah, so pretty much all of them) need this Proposition 65 warning.
What's the deal with this California coffee cancer ruling?
In March a California judge ruled in favor of the Council for Education and Research on Toxics. Essentially, the California Proposition 65 ruling I mentioned above is a list of chemicals that, if present in an item, that item must have a warning label saying that the item contains things known to the state of California to cause cancer and other reproductive harm.
Sounds great, right?
And how does coffee fit into this?
Well, that is where it starts to get interesting.
What Is Acrylamide?
Acrylamide is the chemical in question here, and you can read about it from the official cancer.gov site here.
Essentially, when you cook and brown many kinds of foods that action makes acrylamide. Which is why virtually every restaurant must have this almost meaningless label posted somewhere now.
The crazy thing is that human studies of acrylamide have thus far yielded inconclusive results.
So, not only is acrylamide in quite a few cooked meals, but we don't actually know that it causes cancer in humans (just in rat studies).
Coffee didn't originally add these labels and escaped pressure and scrutiny until recently. Technically, roasting coffee beans creates trace amounts of acrylamide. Therefore, according to the laws of California, the cancer warning label should be present.
The Backlash Over The Ruling
It is worth noting here, that virtually ever study done on coffee drinking shows that overall it has positive effects.
In fact, the American Institute for Cancer Research even has coffee listed as a drink that fights cancer.
Which is why the FDA told CA that labeling coffee as cancer causing is misleading.
And that makes sense.
In Conclusion?
Even if well-meaning, blanket judgments and fear mongering isn't helping anything.
Living in California, I either ignore or roll my eyes whenever I see the Proposition 65 warning. And that shouldn't happen. If I can't take cancer warnings seriously because I see them at everything from gas stations to restaurants, how seriously am I going to take things that actually deserve that label?
Not to mention proper scrutiny may not be given to actual restaurants/foods/drinks/products that deserve it.
Sure, thankfully it sounds like coffee may escape its original fate, thanks to the FDA and other organizations stepping in.
Match Made Coffee is happy though. It seems as though coffee will not be forced to wear a label of shame. But, how many things have warning labels that should not?
Not everything is as lucky as coffee, being that coffee is the morning juice habit for tons of Californians.
What do you guys think? Has the California cancer coffee ruling gone too far? Not far enough? We'd be curious to know your thoughts.

Feb. 6 (UPI) -- The San Francisco Giants will retire Barry Bonds' jersey on Aug. 11.
San Francisco announced the decision and date on Tuesday. The Giants are facing the Pittsburgh Pirates at 6:05 p.m. PDT that night at AT&T Park in San Francisco.
Bonds, 53, played 15 seasons for the Giants after signing with the team in 1992. He played his first seven seasons for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 14-time All-Star and seven-time MVP has the most home runs in Major League Baseball history, with 762. He also had an MLB record 2,558 walks and 688 intentional walks.
He set the single-season home run record in 2001 when he belted 73 homers for the Giants.
"I'm both honored and humbled that the Giants are going to retire my number this season," Bonds told the Giants.
"As I've always said, the Giants and Giants fans, are a part of my family."
Bonds' No. 25 will be the 10th uniform number retired by the Giants, not including Jackie Robinson's No. 42.
"No other Giants player has worn No. 25 since Barry's final season," Giants president and CEO Laurence M. Baer said in a statement, according to to MLB.com. "It's time to officially retire his number in honor of his remarkable 22-year career as one of the greatest players of all time and for his countless achievements and contributions as a Giant."
#25 @SFGiants pic.twitter.com/KA3prMxyvx— Barry L Bonds (@BarryBonds) February 6, 2018
"Barry grew up with the Giants and followed in the footsteps of his Godfather Willie Mays and another Giant legend who also wore number 25 -- his late father, Bobby. By officially retiring No. 25, we will not only pay tribute to Barry as the greatest player of his generation, but also honor the legacy of two of the greatest players to ever wear a Giants uniform."
Bonds works as a special advisor with the Giants. The club is also giving the first 20,000 fans in attendance for the game a special edition No. 25 retirement ceremony cap.

WATERVILLE, Washington – Some areas around Seattle received more than 10 inches of snow Saturday, the most in 70 years, according to the National Weather Service.
The area is preparing for two more rounds of snow, one on track to hit Sunday night and another Monday night.
The Washington State Department of Transportation managed road closures across the state.
Not everyone got the memo.
The department tweeted a picture of a car nearly buried up to the roof.
The DOT reported the car went around a barrier and the driver needed rescue.
Seattle typically gets around 7 inches of snow a year.

What's Hot Today
What a splendid ending to a great show this was. It happens so often, for a great show to turn to crap because of a terrible ending, it definitively wasn't what happened with No Game No Life. I would dare say that this final episode was by far the most action packed and awesome episode there was in the whole season. At the pace things were going, I got a bit scared that they would hurry things up too much near the end and we would end up with a rushed conclusion. Yet while they did put in a LOT of things in that final episode, they still managed to pace things very well and have the episode feel right. I didn't felt at any point that things were moving too quickly during the episode, if anything the episode simply felt longer than 25 minutes. After all, in the span of a single episode they manage to beat the game of the Eastern Federation, take a bath in the name of furry fan service, win a second time against the Eastern Federation, divide the Elven kingdom from the inside and finally challenge the Old Gods as a final cliffhanger for the season. And somehow nothing felt too quick or out of place. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-12-final/
No Game No Life had never been really action oriented the way it currently is and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised with the results. The action is fluid and they manage to make a game of reflex and skill look like a grand calculated chess board nonetheless. Using Shiro's innate impossible ability to calculate any odds in a fraction of second, they turned a FPS game into one big calculation where the only thing keeping them from absolute victory is the cheats that the Warbeasts are using. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-11/
I must admit this episode of No Game No Life was a bit on the slow side. After the last few episode this episode, especially the beginning, felt a bit dragged on. I understand the importance of setting the characters and the preparation before the fight, but we already had a good introduction of Zell and I didn't feel particularly interested in her emotional state. I know her relationship with Fi was important, but I didn't need to know THAT much about it, the two of them will remain side characters after all. I felt the episode was closer to a soft comedy relief to make us calm down before a storm more than anything else. We are in the final straight, the only thing left before the end is this final challenge which will decide the fate of Imanity. The next two episode will be fought in the virtual reality of Tokyo. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-10/
This episode was truly brilliant, the game played in No Game No Life keep on getting better and better over time. We are not just seeing people playing chest anymore, the games are more than just a question of strategy, cheating and bluff now. We are seeing everyone fight with their trust and memories now. It is one thing to bet something physical, it is a whole other thing to bet your memories and existence into a game. I previously wondered just how much you can bet in a game and how complex a game could be according to the law of the world. This episode we got a glimpse of an answer from Jibril, even though it wasn't anything specific. Jibril mentioned that it was impossible to make a game where people would bet their own existence as it was "too complex" or something like that. This means that a game can only be so complex as the strongest of party can themselves create. This means that the higher up in the world Shiro and Sora go, the more complex and world altering the games can be. Now, so far I have not mentioned anything about the consequences of a game, but those seems to somehow fall into the same category. Jibril and Shiro originally believed that the game was over, they theorized that the disappearance of Sora was a part of the result. Even using this theory, Jibril seemed to believe it was impossible to obtain such an outcome from winning or losing a game. We remain in very vague territory here, but it does seems to have some kind of limitation to what kind of wish can be bet in a game. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-9/
Usually I would be the first person to complain about the addition of yet another cute girl who will just be added to Shiro and Sora's harem, that little warbeast girl is looking way too tsundere and cute not to be another piece of their court. I hate when show creates a huge harem for the only purpose of making cute waifu as a fanservice and would rather have them give us some actual content instead. Which is exactly why I am not mad one bit at No Game No Life for this bit of fanservice considering how awesome and filled with content this episode was. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-8-beating-furries/
I really love that Jibril is a new character. While Steph bring her role as the granddaughter of the previous king, an emotional, normal, useless human; The girl unfortunately doesn't bring much in term of complexity and intelligence. This is where Jibril comes in and adds so much fantasy and badassness to the show. Sora and Shiro definitively had a Neet yet powerful feel to their character, but having an otherwordly being with them that share some of their qualities really increases the discussion in awesome territory. It is great to have an equal to Sora and Shiro helping them and giving advice, Jibril definitively proves to be an important asset. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-7-sacrifice-fool-king/
I was a little late on this week episode and I chose very poorly to wait before watching No Game No Life this week because the episode was incredible. We had games in the past, but they were all somehow realistic and had very little magic as a part of them. We played lot of chess and card game so it was refreshing to see a game where the rules were made completely different by the power of magic. This episode was definitively much more fantasy based than anything we could see before and it did great for the show as I felt much more immerse into the game than I ever did previously. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-6/
I feel like the power of command in this world could be easily abused to provide much greater power and function than what Shiro and Sora has used them for so far. If someone can really force so much will into someone as to change them completely as a person, I wonder what the actual limit of the commands can be. If Sora could be changed to a fulfilled person just by losing a game, wouldn't it be possible for people to change personality completely and change sides in drawing untouched potential. What if I ask someone to be the best runner in the world, would it happen instantly, would that person train to become the best in the world or would it fail if that person is physically incapable of reaching such height? Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-5-dog-day/
The premise of the show, from starting nowhere to defeating the god of this world, was never really something difficult to figure out after watching but the first episode. This episode just helped to really set the page on what this show will be about and how it will progress. We are at the fourth episode and Blank got themselves a kingdom, by episode 12 they need to have defeated god. There are 16 kingdoms total, so 15 left to conquer. From this alone you can expect things to stop ramping up so quickly for the next few episode. We will probably have a lot of political games and the kings will play games to win huge territories. I somehow doubt that the show will spend more than 2 episodes fighting against god, so we have at least 6 more episodes of "mental war" and political scheming. Read More... //0-gate.com/game-life-episode-4/
I really liked this episode because of what it showed about No Game No Life. The show was always told to be all about puzzle and solving them, and while it is impressive to see those two siblings come up with all possible possibility and solve things with logic, it makes things much more interesting when the rules of a game are ill-defined and can evolved like this one. They are in a fantasy world, to have a game be limited in the way it is played because of a lack of creativity would be a shame, it is much more interesting to have them play the system than to see them play a regular game of chest again and again.

About Carol Caputo
Carol Caputo (°1949, New York, United States) is an visual artist who works in a variety of media. In a search for new methods to 'read the city', Caputo creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles. Her artworks establish a link between the landscape's reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. By applying abstraction, she investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination. Her works are often classified as part of the new romantic movement because of the desire for the local in the unfolding globalized world. However, this reference is not intentional, as this kind of art is part of the collective memory. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, she creates work through labour-intensive processes which can be seen explicitly as a personal exorcism ritual. They are inspired by a nineteenth-century tradition of works, in which an ideal of 'Fulfilled Absence' was seen as the pinnacle.

We're now than less than a week away from Shadow of the Tomb Raider heralding the return of one of gaming's most iconic characters. But what's been leading up to this moment? A lengthy new trailer from Square Enix provides a handy refresher course of what's happened so far in the Tomb Raider origins trilogy, from those first moments Lara washed ashore Yamatai, right through to that final epic showdown in Rise of the Tomb Raider. Suffice to say, SPOILER WARNING if you haven't played through the original two games just yet.
There we go, all caught up now? Lara Croft has been through the wringer, no doubt about it, although she's handily transformed into one of the most effective killers on the planet. Next step - the Mayan apocalypse for Shadow of the Tomb Raider, a South American jaunt that certainly looks evolution rather than revolution. It's the first Tomb Raider game to have Deus Ex developer Eidos Montreal at the helm, which is certainly reason for excitement.
The system requirements for Shadow of the Tomb Raider also emerged over the weekend. It's quite a demanding PC game so do be sure to check those out before next week's launch.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider is coming to PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on September 14th. Cough up some extra dosh for the Croft Edition and you can begin playing a couple of days earlier on September 12th. I'll be honest though, please don't, it's a terribly anti-consumer business practice.

Fire Extinguisher Service, When You Need It!
At ABCO Fire & Safety Inc., your safety is our number one concern. That is why we offer 24/7 emergency fire extinguisher service!
- Inspections : Annual Inspections, by a permitted fire extinguisher technician, are required by law. ABCO Fire & Safety will inspect and perform the proper maintenance on your fire extinguishers for your annual certification.
- Certifications : An annual certification tag is applied to an extinguisher after a trained and permitted technician has performed an inspection and found the extinguisher to be in proper working order. Certifications are valid for 1 year after the date punched on the tag.
- Recharges : Any time you use your fire extinguisher, even if you accidentally release only a little bit, you need to have your fire extinguisher recharged. Losing even just a few milliseconds of pressure or chemical extinguishant could result in faulty fire extinguisher operation and potentially a fire that does not get extinguished in time to save your property from devastating damage.
- 6 Year Maintenance : At least every 6 years after the date of manufacture, an extinguisher is required to be disassembled, emptied and subjected to an internal and external visual exam to ensure the extinguisher is in proper working order.
- Hydrostatic Testing : During a hydrostatic test, the extinguisher is disassembled, emptied, visually examined and the cylinder is subjected to high pressure to test for cracks and leaks. Halon and most dry chemical extinguishers (ie. ABC, BC, Purple K) are required to be "hydro" tested every 12 years from the date of manufacture. Hydro tests on most other extinguishers (ie. Water, CO2) are required every 5 years.
- Sales : If you need new or replacement extinguishers, ABCO Fire & Safety can tell you exactly what kind, what size and how many extinguishers you need to properly cover your property. All of our new and refurbished extinguishers include an annual certification.
- Installation : Our trained and permitted technicians know exactly where to install your fire extinguishers to keep you compliant with fire codes and ensure easy access in case of an emergency.

What happens at the infamous Vega Club . . .
Sophie Campbell is determined to be mistress of her own fate. Surviving on her skill at cards, she never risks what she can't afford to lose. Yet when the Duke of Ware proposes a scandalous wager that's too extravagant to refuse, she can't resist. If she wins, she'll get five thousand pounds, enough to secure her independence forever.
Stays at the Vega Club . . .
Jack Lindeville, Duke of Ware, tells himself he's at the Vega Club merely to save his reckless brother from losing everything, but he knows it's a lie. He can't keep his eyes off Sophie, and to get her he breaks his ironclad rule against gambling. If he wins, he wants her—for a week.
Until now.
A week with Jack could ruin what's left of Sophie's reputation. It might even cost her her heart. But when it comes to love, all bets are off . . .
~~Reviewed by Monique~~
When twelve-year-old Sophie Graham was orphaned, her grandfather Viscount Makepeace unceremoniously shipped her off to school, and at eighteen she was on her own. At twenty-four, now Sophie Campbell, she is a professional card player, halfway to the ten thousand pounds she needs to be independent, and hopefully marry a nice man. Jack Linderville, Duke of Ware, is at Vega's to pay his brother Philip's debts, again. It happens that the beautiful woman Jack has been ogling is partly responsible for Philip's debts, and Jack is immediately smitten with Sophie; he is fixated on her bosom, he wants her. So Jack, who doesn't gamble anymore, proposes a wager: five thousand pounds if she wins, if she loses, Sophie has to spend a whole week with Jack.
MY ONCE AND FUTURE DUKE started off so well; the prologue is enchanting, and I loved Sophie until she behaved stupidly. She's a professional gambler, she has been successful for years; Jack had lost all their games until his scandalous offer. I ask you, what are the odds that he would lose again? That Sophie accepts went against everything I had been told about her: the logical woman suddenly became entirely irrational, greedy, and risked her reputation; the Sophie I had encountered before would not have behaved so foolishly. This was not going to go well. I disliked Jack's attitude: he's arrogant, and basically buying her, although mentally he is not. He is teaching his brother a lesson … Okay, then. And I hated Jack. Sophie accepts the wager, and when she loses, she has the nerve to be offended! I mean, woman, acknowledge your loss and your idiocy, and be done with it; she had basically agreed to prostitute herself for a week, at least that's the way I would have seen it. But Jack is so handsome. Hmmm. I thought they deserved each other and that was the purpose of the exercise, wasn't it?
The forced proximity situation had to be reinforced in another way to make matters more palatable, I suppose. Jack and Sophie talk and get to know each other, which was lovely and charming, and I don't think it was deliberate from the author, but Sophie came off a little bit like a fortune hunter because of how she gushed over Jack's country home. So, they talk and chat, but God forbid they should tell each other everything or ask the questions that beg asking, to avoid misunderstandings later on. Had I been able to forget Sophie behaving so out of character at the beginning, the romance might have worked for me, but I simply could not. Especially when Sophie agrees to something later on that irked me and went against her lifelong ambition. Instead of the sordid wager, Sophie and Jack could have been made to work together to stop Philip's gambling; my problem was that Sophie acted in greed, and not like the professional she had been, and it all felt it was only for storyline purposes.
I really liked Philip, as a character in spite of his many shortcomings; he was foolish but interesting. And the poor Mr. Carter. Then there was the whole Lucinda episode that was entirely superfluous and needlessly upsetting, and one of Sophie's school friends, Eliza's escapades, which I suspect is to set up the next book in the series. I also hope in the final edition "vingt-un" will have been corrected to "vingt-et-un"; I can't recall having seen that mistake before.
If you like your Regency romance with steamy sex and you have no problem with the premise, you will love MY ONCE AND FUTURE DUKE, because the writing is gorgeous, the descriptions visions of loveliness, and the dialogues inspired.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Growing up, there was never a problem too big or too small that couldn't be solved over a fresh cup of tea. So many of my favourite moments started with "I'll put the kettle on"… and still do. It's my favourite pastime – embracing both an art and tradition that has stood the test of time and speaks the language of every human around the world. It brings people together and invites conversation. It builds friendship and creates memories. It gives opportunity for a deep breath and a spare thought. And that's what I love about it.
The idea of Nana Fair came after realising the subtle yet important part tea played in our lives. We have met many people with a shared love and appreciation for tea and through this look forward to meeting many more.
Here, we are all about quality, hand-picked leaves. New flavours and old favourites. Brilliant ambers and aromas. We are about paused moments, great conversation, old friends and refills. We look forward to wherever this journey takes us, thanks for being a part of it.

Almost everyone has an opinion on all facets of the abortion issue. Regardless of our positions, those of us over 60 have a different perspective than those under 60. We lived in the pre-Roe era. We observed, heard and read about, some of the tragic consequences resulting from unwanted pregnancies. There is a made-for-TV movie, "If These Walls Could Talk", starring Demi Moore, Cher, and Sissy Spacek. I urge you under-60 folks to find a copy and watch it with your families and friends. You can buy-it-now on eBay for about $5. This is not a ploy to get anyone to change their beliefs, but rather, a request for you to understand what things were like before you became aware of this issue.

(Thomas-Jacob Publishing, LLC, 2015), ISBN: 13 978-0-9963884-3-6
As I have made the journey from reader, to writer, to student, to professional writer, to teacher of workshops and writing classes, and then to book reviewer, I have come to believe that there are three kinds of (proficient, "talented") writers at work in the world.
First, there are the Storytellers. People like Hemingway, that come from the gut, who go fearlessly into the vortexing dream-space of human experience to capture something in the net of their creating, who can spin a captivating yarn without too much verbal or plot complexity but plenty of power and resonance. Then there are the Technicians—those who inherently and through 10,000 hours of practice, understand and apply structure, word choice, syntax, and suspense… who "do the task of writing" at a high level.
The third type of writer is the one who is smart enough, dedicated enough, and capable enough to know that, despite the fact that Storytellers and Technicians can both sell a lot of books and equally move an audience—that the true Golden Ring of what we do as writers is to meet at the stormy nexus of BOTH of these strengths.
These, to me, are the writers worth reading. The writers who, when they produce something new, lead us to drop everything, get a firm hold of their book or e-file, and carve out ample time to dive deeply beneath the waters of their words for as long as the capacity of our mental lungs to hold our breath allows.
Smoky Zeidel, over the past four years, has become one of these writers for me.
I was able to take a little more time than usual in the opening of this review because I cannot tell you much about the story told in The Cabin. Or, more accurately, I choose not to. Because almost anything I would tell beyond the broad strokes in the next paragraph would ruin your experience. Muddy the waters into which you have to dive. And it's harder to hold your breath with the silt of story give-aways floating about.
I can tell you that The Cabin's characters are primarily a family who has lived in the same geographical area—the Allegheny Mountains of (West) Virginia for many generations—who have seen the best and worst of humankind through the American Civil War, slavery, and the changes that came with the new century. I can tell you that the story involves fairy stones, and the Power of Belief to defy all temporal–spatial barriers. And I can tell you that it involves, as my title gives away, Time Travel.
What I should have named the review is "Time Travel Made (to Look) Easy," although that does not exactly roll off the tongue, which would be a particular disservice to Zeidel, because she truly is a Technician: her sentences move like the rivers and winds she often writes about in her poetry and prose. And I say that it is Made (to Look) Easy because, true to her strengths as a Technician, the complex plot, moving as it does between time and space, never carries the thornier burdens of that trope, as it often does with the stories told by, for instance, J. J. Abrams or James Cameron (each of whom are masterful Storyteller-Technicians). I think that is because, in The Cabin, it is not science fiction; it not a clever device employed for jazzy storytelling. It is an inherent, crucial part of the tale Zeidel tells, and, like the audience who brings Tinkerbell back to life in stagings of Peter Pan through the Power of Belief, we as readers must contribute to making the magic happen. Yes, of course, it ends how it ends, but how much we invest is up to us.
I invested deeply, which speaks to Zeidel's ability as a Storyteller. She blends her thorough, far-ranging research (once again, the Technician) with exquisitely drawn characters, a beautiful way of describing geography, and a knack for bleeding things down to core emotional values that puts her writing on a mythological level. I felt it in The Storyteller's Bracelet, in her recent book of poetry, and here in The Cabin. You cannot teach that. It begins as a natural gift, coupled with tens of thousands of hours with pen in hand or fingers on a keyboard.
In a world where jazzy tropes like CGI and gravity-defying fights are the new standard for what passes as storytelling, books like The Cabin and writers like Smoky Zeidel remind us that there is much, much more, if only we know where to look.

The UK is now truly a multicultural country, and will continue to flourish in the face of diversity. If we don't recognise that people are different, we are not going to get anywhere. Businesses are about engaging people and more so in the current financial downturn. We've got too many products and too few customers. When people have a choice and prices are falling, that's when marketing mavericks look at segmentation and precision marketing.
Mediareach Advertising is the UK's leading expert in multicultural marketing and communications, helping connect cultures and build brands for more than 23 years.
The greatest challenge for specialist marketing agencies like Mediareach Advertising is to show marketers what we already know. The same mainstream message does not fit all audiences and often, to reap maximum returns on advertising and PR investment, you have to speak to individual markets with messages they can relate to.
We are not blinded by trophies and excited by Cannes awards and have one thing in mind to create the best creative work for brands and our true excitement is to deliver results for our clients and make them successful.
This is our story, call us and tell us yours.

Carbon Monoxide
What is Carbon Monoxide?
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an invisible, odourless, tasteless & extremely toxic gas. CO is a result of incomplete combustion of fossil-fuels such as natural gas, bottled gas, solid fuels (wood, coal etc.). CO is absorbed by the red blood cells in the lungs in preference to oxygen, resulting in oxygen starvation & rapid damage to the heart & brain.
Here are a few U.K. statistics which may set alarm bells ringing...
• 23 deaths from Carbon Monoxide poisoning in 2009/2010 •
176 near misses from Carbon Monoxide poisoning in 2009/2010
• 72% of Gas Safe (formally CORGI) registered engineers discovered a Carbon Monoxide leak when performing routine services on appliances
• 40% of recorded Carbon Monoxide incidents were caused by bad installation and repair of appliances.
However, incidents of Carbon Monoxide poisoning are often unrecorded as they can easily be misdiagnosed – low level exposure to Carbon Monoxide results in symptoms similar to flu. Due to this the actual number of poisoning incidents is almost certainly much higher than the figures shown above.
CO is produced by any fossil-fuel burning appliances such as gas or oil boilers/furnaces, gas/solid fuel fireplaces, gas appliances, solid fuel stoves etc. Heavy doses of CO will cause a person to collapse & die within minutes [see adjoining table]. Lesser doses of CO may cause flue-like symptoms, headaches, drowsiness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting
Sources of Carbon Monoxide
If a home has any of these appliances it is a potential source of Carbon Monoxide
Toxic amounts of CO can be produced if there is:
An appliance not working correctly due to poor installation, lack of servicing or blocked chimney or flue, Inadequate ventilation, resulting in insufficient oxygen for the fuel to burn properly or a cracked chimney or flue.
Avoiding Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
• Ensure your appliances are correctly installed and SERVICED ANNUALLY
• Ensure that rooms in your home containing heating appliances are properly ventilated - NEVER BLOCK VENTS • Make sure all chimneys are regularly swept and kept clear
• Use appliances only for the PURPOSE for which they were designed, e.g. do not use a cooker to heat a room
• NEVER use any appliance if you suspect it might be faulty
• If undertaking ALTERATIONS to your home which may affect the safety or efficiency of your heating installation (e.g. adding an extension, converting a garage, removing internal walls, changing a living room into a bedroom, double glazing / weather sealed doors) follow this safety advice:
• Do not block or build around any existing air vents or flues • If creating a new living space, ensure it has ventilation in accordance with Building Regulations
• If adding additional radiators ensure that your boiler can cope with the additional capacity • If you are altering or adding appliances to a natural gas or LPG installation, ensure that work is carried out to IS813:2002 Domestic Gas Installations
• Get professional advice on ventilation and flueing before embarking on alterations to your house. Contact your fuel supplier for details of qualified personnel
• Use Carbon Monoxide alarms but remember these are no substitute for regular inspection and maintenance of appliances, vents, flues and chimneys.
Check that the Carbon Monoxide alarm complies with the EN 50291 standard.

Nothing like watching United States Senators from both parties fall all over themselves to lick the boots of bankster Jamie Dimon, with the slight exception of Merkley and Martinez.

Laurence Winters was given the new punishment, which involves carrying out work in the community, despite Sheriff William Summers admitting the offender had the worst record he had ever seen.
The sheriff said short prison sentences had "spectacularly failed" to change Winters' behaviour, but suggested he could not jail the serial criminal anyway thanks to the SNP's justice policies.
Opposition parties seized on the comments as evidence the changes will tie judges' hands and allow serious offenders to escape the prison sentences their crimes deserve.
Under the reforms, which came into effect on Tuesday, there is a presumption that criminals will not receive prison sentence of less than three months.
Instead they are to be handed Community Payback Orders (CPOs), under which they will be forced to carry out "tough manual labour" such as cleaning up graffiti or clearing litter.
Winters, who has a criminal record dating back 24 years, is believed to be the first offender to receive the new punishment and was told to carry out 60 hours work.
Sentencing him at Perth Sheriff Court, Sheriff Summers said: "You have the unenviable distinction of having just about the longest record I have ever seen.
"Most of it, and particularly the more recent convictions, are public order offences. These have typically been dealt with by short custodial sentences which have quite spectacularly failed to have any deterrent effect in your case.
"He has been dealt with by short prison sentences which I am told I cannot do now. I am going to impose a Community Payback Order."
Winters, 39, of Perth, has 98 convictions for 160 separate offences since 1987, including a series of assaults, thefts and breaches of the peace.
He has previously been told to carry out community service, but had failed to complete this or comply with other court orders. He has also breached bail several times.
In his latest court appearance, he admitted behaving in a "threatening or abusive manner" by shouting and swearing at police.
The court was told that Winters, who appeared from custody, had only been out of jail for a fortnight when he was charged in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Winters, who recently suffered a heart attack, said he was fit and ready to carry out a CPO after being warned the alternative was jail.
But a senior legal source said: "I would be amazed if Laurence Winters does one hour, never mind 60 hours of so-called Payback. He has a lifelong history of defying court orders."
John Lamont, Scottish Tory justice spokesman, said: "This show just how crazy the SNP's justice policy has become.
"Clearly the sheriff wanted to send this man to prison but could not do so. Victims of crime will think this absolutely disgraceful."
Richard Baker, his Labour counterpart, added: "It's only thanks to the intervention of the Scottish government that he is not going to prison."

Pulla is a traditional Finnish pastry similar to the world-famous cinnamon roll. In her self-portrait Symbioosi (2009) Finnish artist Iiu Susiraja (1975–) poses with pulla in a way reminiscent of the icons of Virgin Mary. In my previous post I wrote about art and its ability to offer perspective. Now I'd like to see what Susiraja's self-portrait can show us about our relationship with our bodies and food.
First, let me introduce you to Susiraja. She's a photographer known for her painfully honest and humorous self-portraits in which she often poses with food items. [1] What makes her self-portraits especially poignant is that she is overweight. In an interview with Kodin Kuvalehti-magazine (2014), she describes herself as "thick and happy" while recalling past shame about her weight and later overcoming it by becoming "openly fat" through her art.

SGB focuses on physical and mental health
October 10, 2018
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

At a free public lunch this Friday, Pitt students have the opportunity to voice opinions on Pitt food and dining services. It's one of several current SGB initiatives which seek to close the gap between Pitt students and key players at the University.
The Eat & Greet meeting will take place this Friday from 2 to 3 p.m. in the WPU's Lower Lounge. Board members Albert Tanjaya and Zechariah Brown have worked with Sodexo Campus Services on the initiative, which will allow Sodexo managers to hear student suggestions on how Pitt's food and dining services can be improved.
"The whole intent of Eat & Greet is to provide a space where students who dine on campus can provide feedback to Sodexo staff in terms of the food quality, food choices," Tanjaya said at Tuesday's SGB meeting. "For example, rice … it's a staple for many Asian students. How are they doing in that sense of accomodating cultural backgrounds?"
"It's also just in terms of the regular foods that Sodexo provides," Brown said. "Just like, 'hey, I like the grilled chicken this way!' versus, like, 'I don't really like it when you put so much black pepper on it.'"
The event, held every two weeks as schedules allow, will include a free meal cooked by Market chefs for students who attend, Tanjaya said.
In keeping with the "Mindfulness" theme of Friday's meeting, each free portion will be a "healthier option" of 500 calories or fewer. Brown said he and Tanjaya want to tie mental wellness and physical wellness together, particularly in the midst of SGB's schedule of events for Mental Health Awareness Month.
"If we just had a bunch of heavier foods and junk foods, it would kind of distract from the message that we want students to be as healthy as they possibly can be," Brown said. "A big portion of making sure you're mentally well is making sure you're putting a lot of the right foods into your body."
SGB is already seeing the fruits of its most recent public forum — the first Town Hall meeting, held Sept. 28. Caroline Unger, the chair of the Facilities, Technology and Transportation Committee, said that she, board member Jessa Chong and the Department of Campus Recreation discussed solutions to issues raised at the Town Hall at a meeting this week.
For example, Unger said, one student came to the Town Hall on behalf of the Judo Club and the Taekwondo Club and voiced concerns about renovations in Trees Hall, like hard mats in the rec room and bleachers that don't pull out entirely, which affected the clubs' ability to practice. After the discussion with Unger, Campus Rec will meet separately with representatives from those clubs to work on solutions to the problems.
"So really [we're] just looking into those individual situations for the short term," Unger said.
Pitt has spent the past few days taking feedback on a more long-term issue — its new Campus Master Plan. Five information sessions were held on campus Monday and Tuesday, including one session specifically for students and another for student government. Both Executive Vice President Jahari Mercer and Vice President and Chief of Finance Cory Stillman said they attended a session.
"There are definitely some concerns with the plan," Mercer said, "but there are also some really great things that the university are going to be doing in the future."
Mercer encouraged students to view the plan online and leave feedback if they haven't already.
"It's just a draft, it really is," Stillman added, "and so really any feedback you have is very much appreciated."
In his board report, Brown noted the success of recent mental health awareness events, including the opening reception for "Stories Untold," an art exhibit running in the WPU's Lower Lounge through Oct. 21, and the Pitt Talks Whiteboard Campaign held earlier in the day on Tuesday, where students shared personal thoughts on mental health awareness.
He also encouraged students to share stories online using the #ICare hashtag.
"Let your family and friends know why mental health means something to you," he said. "I know that I care because I think that in order to take care of ourselves, we have to prioritize our mental and our physical care and to care for others we have to do the same for them."
The Women's Ultimate Frisbee Club requested $1,563.20 to attend a tournament. The board approved $1,397.08 and denied $166.12.

Transformer is Lou Reed's breakthrough second solo album, released in December 1972. Unlike its predecessor Lou Reed, eight songs of which were leftovers from his Velvet Underground days, this album contains mainly new material. However, there are still a few songs that date from his VU days--Velvet Underground-recorded versions of "Andy's Chest" and "Satellite of Love" surfaced in 1985 and 1995, respectively; and "New York Telephone Conversation" and "I'm So Free" are known to have been played during the Velvets' run at Max's Kansas City in the summer of 1970.
Transformer was produced by David Bowie and Mick Ronson, who had been strongly influenced by Reed's work with the Velvet Underground. The album features some of Reed's best-known songs such as "Walk on the Wild Side", "Perfect Day" and "Satellite of Love", and made him an international star in his own right.
"Andy's Chest" had been recorded in 1969 for The Velvet Underground's "lost fourth album" (see VU and Another View) and "Satellite of Love" had been demoed for the band's 1970 album Loaded, but neither had been used. For Transformer, the poppy up-tempo feel of these songs was slowed down to turn them into ballads. Although all songs on the album were credited to Reed, it has long been rumoured that "Wagon Wheel" is actually a David Bowie composition. Although there are no known performances of "Vicious" by the Velvet Underground, the song apparently dates from Reed's time in the band and its association with Andy Warhol. According to Reed, Warhol told Reed he should write a song about someone vicious. Reed inquired what he meant by that, and Warhol replied, "Oh, you know, vicious like I hit you with a flower."
The first single from the album, "Walk on the Wild Side", became an international success, despite its adult subject matter (it was edited in some countries and banned in others) and it is now generally regarded as Reed's signature tune. "Satellite of Love" was issued as the second single in February 1973. In 2002, a 30th anniversary edition of the album was released; in addition to demos of "Hangin' Round" and "Perfect Day", it includes a hidden track featuring an advert for the album.
The cover art was from a Mick Rock photograph.
In 1997, Transformer was named the 44th greatest album of all time in a Music of the Millennium poll conducted in the United Kingdom by HMV Group, Channel 4, The Guardian and Classic FM. Transformer is also ranked number 55 on NME 's list of "Greatest Albums of All Time." In 2003, the album was ranked number 194 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time. It is also on Q Magazine's list of "100 Greatest Albums Ever".
About Lou Reed
Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed (born March 2, 1942) is an American rock musician best known as the guitarist, vocalist and principal songwriter of The Velvet Underground as well as a successful solo artist whose career has spanned several decades. The band gained little mainstream attention during their career, but became one of the most influential of their era. As the Velvet Underground's main songwriter, Reed analyzed subjects of personal experience that rarely had been examined so openly in rock and roll, including a variety of sexual topics and drug culture and use. As a guitarist, he was a pioneer of many guitar effects including distortion, high volume feedback, and nonstandard tunings.
Reed began a long and eclectic solo career in 1971. He had a hit the following year with "Walk on the Wild Side", though for more than a decade he seemed to wilfully evade the mainstream commercial success its chart status offered him. One of rock's most volatile personalities, Reed's work as a solo artist has frustrated critics wishing for a return of The Velvet Underground. The most notable example is 1975's infamous double LP of recorded feedback loops, Metal Machine Music, upon which Reed later commented: "No one is supposed to be able to do a thing like that and survive." By the late 1980s, however, he had garnered recognition as an elder statesman of rock.

Recently I have compiled my small Gtk+ program for both available linux systems for the Ben NanoNote: the OpenWRT and the Jlime. So below are my experiences.
OpenWRT Port
The OpenWRT has no X11 server and no windowing environment at all. It means that Gtk+ applications directly use the Linux framebuffer via the DirectFB library. So one can not run more than one application. This is not a big issue, I think.
But there are other issues:
- File selection dialog does not fit the screen. I tried deprecated type of dialog and new one and both are near useless (the older one is better).
- I have had no success in drawing of lines with different thicknesses (all have the same thickness, as you can judge from the screenshot).
- The Gtk+ ignores numeric input on NanoNote. It's possible to write any symbol or letter but not numbers. I use a simple but not very elegant workaround – a simple routine that transforms corrwsponding letters to numbers.
I also have had to shorten the menu in order to fit it into the screen.
Jlime port
The Jlime is a different story. The program works as expected, the file dialog fits in the screen and they are useable. No code changes were needed at all. The correct thickness of the lines is respected, too.
From my point of view the main problem is the Jlime itself. It uses the X11 (the X Window System) which makes it much more "normal" and better working. But it also makes it quite slow and also somewhat unresponsible. There is also one problem which can be noticed on overloaded NanoNote: some letters written on keyboard are not passed to applications and sometimes it repeats one letter many times. This makes the Jlime uncomfortable to use. Please don't mind the different fonts in the drawing area – I used an older (deprecated) font drawing routine when I made screenshots on the Jlime. This does not work in the OpenWRT version so I have replaced it with the more recent one. It of course works in both environments.
It is possible to use the Gtk+ for Ben NanoNote applications. But there are minor problems with the OpenWRT's version of the Gtk+ which still have to be solved: the numeric input and the size of file dialogs. It will br also usefull to make a Gtk+ theme which will be more obtimised for the Ben (smaller fonts, more dark colors and so).

Working but
I got this to refresh the image only, BUT, it seems that if you don't refresh the image and submit, it works as expected...
If you refresh the image 1 or more times, and submit (even with the correct captcha code) it says your captcha code was not correct.
Seems like when the page loads originally it "knows" the captcha value. When you refresh it without refreshing the page, this creates a mismatch and it's then impossible to submit the right captcha value...not sure but I can't get this to submit after I've refreshed the image.
So be careful using this technique - hopefully this will be a built in feature in version 2.

What Does Bill Cosby's Wife Camille Cosby Think About the Sexual Assault Allegations?
It's so hard to reconcile Bill Cosby's public image as the all-American dad, witty comedian, and JELL-O enthusiast, with a man being accused of multiple counts sexual assaults over the years. These allegations have been going on for years, but, somehow, they have never been this prevalent in the news before. One person who seems to be overlooked in the controversy is Bill Cosby's wife Camille Cosby. What does Camille Cosby think of the allegations against her husband? This is no doubt a difficult time for her.
If you haven't heard anything from Camille, it's not surprising because we haven't heard much from Bill himself. Pretty much all we have from Bill Cosby is that he'll give no comment. The following statement from his lawyer was released on Sunday:
Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced. The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment. He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives.
In a previously unreleased segment of an interview with the Associated Press — which was mainly focusing on the couple's art collection — Bill sat beside his wife and was asked about the sexual assault allegations over the years. His response? "I don't talk about it." Then Bill asked the reporter not to release this part of the interview and said he did not specify this as an off-limits topic because he thought Associated Press "had integrity" and assumed that he would not be asked about the claims. He added, "There is no comment about that. And I'll tell you why. I don't want to compromise your integrity, but I don't talk about it." What did Camille Cosby say? Nothing. She sat there silently.
It's possible that Camille was advised not to give a comment. She has not defended her husband against the allegations. Conversely, she has not left his side, so it is unclear what she thinks. And this has been the case since the allegations came out originally when Andrea Constand filed a suit against Cosby alleging sexual abuse that was later settled outside of court in November 2006. Constand's case involved allegations from 12 anonymous women, at least three of which who later came forward publicly — Tamara Green, Beth Ferrier, and Barbara Bowman. More recently, two other women (it is unclear if they were included in the anonymous count) came forward — Joan Tarshis and model Janice Dickinson.
While Bill has responded to at least some of the claims, there hasn't been any statement from Camille.
Camille is said to have served as both a muse and an idea maker for Bill's best material over the years. For instance, she was one of the people who told him to have both Bill and Clair Huxtable be college-graduated professionals on The Cosby Show. In addition to making the TV show unique, input like this made her a part of the Cosby entertainment machine. Obviously, if Camille left their marriage or made a public comment questioning Bill's innocence, it would be extremely difficult for Bill to come back from it — professionally, but quite possibly legally, as well.

Organizational Development
Buzzle Staff
Sep 26, 2018
For any organization to be effective, it needs to be developed systematically and should have well-planned approach. Let's have a look into its organizational development process.
Organizational development is a systematic, integrated, and planned approach to improve effectiveness. It can be defined as the top management's supported long-term effort to improve an organization's problem-solving and renewal process, through an effective and collaborative diagnosis and management of organization culture.
In other words, it is a change effort that is planned, focused on an entire organization or a large subsystem, aimed at enhancing organizational effectiveness, and based on planned interventions made with the help of a change agent or third party who is well versed in behavioral sciences.
As objectives are framed keeping in view specific situations, they vary from one situation to another. In other words, these programs are tailored to meet the requirements of a particular situation.
All development programs try to achieve the following objectives:
Making individuals in the organization aware of the vision of the organization.
Encouraging employees to solve problems instead of avoiding them.
Strengthening inter-personnel trust, cooperation, and communication for the successful achievement of goals.
Encourage every individual to participate in the process of planning, thus making them feel responsible for the implementation of the plan.
Creating a work atmosphere in which employees are encouraged to work and participate enthusiastically.
Replacing formal lines of authority with personal knowledge and skill.
Creating an environment of trust so that employees willingly accept change.
This provides managers with a vehicle for introducing change systematically by applying a broad selection of management techniques. This, in turn, leads to greater personal, group, and organizational effectiveness.
The process consists of three major steps: diagnosis, intervention, and evaluation. These steps are similar to the planned change process, since it is actually a specialized type of change effort. Such a process is most likely to be initiated when top management believes that there are deficiencies in the way the overall organization is functioning.
The first step involves diagnosis of the present situation. Change agents collect the required information through interviews, questionnaires, internal documents, records, and reports. Usually, a diagnostic strategy is developed using two or more methods of data collection after their respective strengths and weaknesses have been considered.
After the situation is diagnosed, interventions or change strategies can be designed and implemented with the help of a change agent.
Some intervention techniques are:
Process consultation:
This is concerned with interpersonal relations and functioning of work groups. The change agent observes the group and gives feedback regarding dysfunctions in areas of decision-making, handling conflicts, and communication patterns.
Team building:
This technique is used to help work groups become effective in performing their tasks. The consultant helps in assessing group tasks, member roles, and strategies for accomplishing work tasks.
Third-party intervention:
Here, the consultants help the parties concerned to resolve their differences through techniques like problem solving and conciliation.
Survey Feedback:
In survey feedback, data gathered through survey questionnaires and personal interviews are analyzed, tabulated into understandable form and shared with those who first supplied the information.
Survey feedback lets people know where they stand in relation to others on important issues, thus helping them resolve conflicts in a constructive manner. Effective feedback should be relevant, understandable, descriptive, verifiable, and inspiring.
Techno structural activities:
This technique is used to improve work technology and organization structure. It is intended to help employees evaluate themselves and to make appropriate changes in task design, work methods, and organization structure.
Skill development:
This technique is used to help employees identify their shortcomings and overcome their deficiencies. It is used to improve performance in areas, such as delegation, problem solving conflict resolution, and leading.
Since organizational development is directed towards long-term change, the programs have to be monitored on a regular basis.
An accurate evaluation of developmental interventions is dependent on the accurate diagnosis of the current situation and the clear identification of the desired results.
