Periscope Pro 4+
Alice Dev Team
- $19.99
Watch your home, kids, and pets from anywhere! Simply plug in your camera, use the Mac's built-in one, IP camera, or use your iOS device as IP camera and feature-rich Periscope Pro does the rest. Easy to use, OS X El Capitan ready, motion detection, clip uploading, and much more!
You wanted a simple-to-use, fully-featured video surveillance app for your Mac, and Periscope Pro delivers!
Periscope Pro is compatible with the Mac's built-in camera, or countless other third-party / stand-alone IP cameras. You can monitor and/or record anything – your desk, your front door, the kid's playroom, the baby's room, your vacation house – anything. With features like motion detection, video/sound recording, and clip uploading, you'll never miss a moment (or you'll finally find out who is stealing your snacks from your desk!)
With its sophisticated motion and sound detection systems, you can set it to only record when there is something to see (this leaves fewer clips to sort through, and less storage used.) You can also record continuously if you wish. Clips are stored on your Mac for viewing and can be automatically uploaded to Dropbox so you can see what's happening from anywhere, with any device!
By themselves, IP Cameras can be difficult to setup, but it's fast and easy with Periscope Pro (in fact, it's downright automatic!) Just input the camera's address and model, and it does the rest. The setup screen preview window allows you see what's happening as you set it up, so there's no need to switch between screens (yes, we thought of everything!)
If you need to monitor covertly, using a USB or IP camera lets you separate the camera from your Mac (so there's no telltale green light) and hide the camera anywhere. Sneaky, huh?
But all of this ease of use and feature set wouldn't be worth much if you couldn't find and view the clips you want, right? So Periscope Pro makes it fast and easy. The integrated, one-click Clip Library has a large, full-screen expandable viewing window, complete with clip thumbnails/details in a scrollable frame on the right.
With Periscope Pro you can:
• Monitor your home office when you are away
• Watch your kids, pets or aging parents
• Monitor an office in another city, country or continent
• Check on the babysitter or nanny
• Keep an eye on your workspace, desk, papers, and your Mac

I paid for the latest version and installed it a 2 of my iMacs but when i went to install it a a 3rd older iMac it said i needed to run the older version and gave me the link to download the older version but the older version wanted me to pay full price again and so i sent support a message and have not heard back.
Great app but….
I have two problems.
If I leave it on CONTINUOUS recording it works great but it does not let me change the folder that the clips are saved to. The program reverts back to the original folder on every restart.
If I leave it on MOTION CAPTURE, the program crashes after a few hours. I cant figure out any reason why it would happen.
Oh yeah…one more problem….Contacting support about any of these issues gets you NO RESPONSE AT ALL. Either on the message board or email or the contact us button on their site.
If my issues are resolved I'll update my review. If this review is not updated…nothing has been resolved.
Great, easy to use
This worked great. Just watched the housekeeper taking money out of bank envelope and rummaging through drawers. Well worth the $20.

Part Nine: The Stealthy Way
by Thomas K. Martin
It was strange ruling a side again, even if it was only a side of eight units without a capital. This afternoon he had released Sir Barringer on Dixieland's turn. Unlike the Woodsy Elf, King Condon had agreed to a ransom of five thousand shmuckers for his warlord – and his hat. Honestly, Minghis wasn't certain which it was the king had wanted back more.
After Dixieland's next turn, Minghis would raze this city, but not before it had deposited another three thousand shmuckers, minus upkeep, into his purse and popped new units. The city had been popping archers when he claimed it. As a Dixieland city, Summer Fort could pop standard infantry, including pikers, and nickel horses as its first tier units. Since he would not have time to pop any units other than first tier, Minghis had immediately changed the city production to nickel horses. Any Men he could have popped would not be members of the Mango tribe unless he razed and rebuilt the city, which he had no intention of doing.
The tribe was busy looting the city. The larder was being loaded into oxcarts along with every scrap of metal. Tonight they would feast, but not on their spoils. No, tonight they would feast on hawk and ram and horseflesh. The twolls were busily preparing the fallen animals – those that were not at work in Summer Fort's forge with Cashcarry.
This battle had cost them, but not as greatly as Minghis had feared. They had lost the four rams that broke the gate and four of the hawks had fallen during the battle with their riders. Their greatest loss had been the eighteen knights which had fallen rooting Sir Barringer out of the dungeon. Beyond that, they had lost only a handful of stabbers.
Minghis could promote some of the stabbers to knight, but that was far too expensive at the moment. Perhaps after the next city, although Minghis doubted that would fall as easily. Summer Fort had only been lightly defended. The bulk of Dixieland's army was elsewhere. He needed to know where.
"What are you thinking, Father?" Khan asked, walking up beside where Minghis stood on the courtyard walls looking out over the outer city.
Minghis looked at his son, an allied barbarian warlord. That, too, was strange.
"I was wondering why this city was so lightly defended," Minghis replied.
"Because Dixieland is weak," Khan laughed.
"No, son. Dixieland has nine cities – well, eight now. They should have double the number of men as us."
"Then where are they?"
"That is the question," Minghis agreed. "Find your sister and meet me in the war room. We will see if Kala can find them."
* * *
Chief Gordon studied the map table before him. Stabbers and archers were now en route to the capital from Gate City and Nawlins. Five stacks of each from Gate City and three stacks of each from Nawlins. That would leave Gate City with fewer troops than Nawlins until reinforcements could arrive in Gate City from Palmetto in three turns. That would give him another eight stacks of stabbers and archers to defend the capital.
Gordon looked northwest of Azalea at the markers that indicated Prince Murphy's assault force. If he ordered the knights to separate from the main column now, they could be here at River City in three turns. Ten stacks of knights – would they be better here ahead of Minghis' army, or protecting the prince?
If he waited until the column reached Azalea in two turns, the knights could still be here one turn ahead of Minghis. He would wait. Hopefully, by then, he would have more information.
Gordon looked over the troop reports from Azalea and Emerald Coast. He could easily order troops from those cities to reinforce Gump and Dogwood, respectively. However, there was no point to it. The few stacks of stabbers and archers he could order to each city would little effect on those battles if the barbarians marched on them instead of the capital. Minghis' force was simply too large.
Scattered across the map were markers indicating stacks of Woodsy Elves. Until now, Dixieland had used their natural allies as scouts and, occasionally, as light raiders. Now, every pocket of elves was headed toward the capital. By the time they reached the capital, there would be twenty stacks of the stealthy archers.
Gordon's eyes strayed to one hex on the map – a forest hex only two hexes from Summer Fort. A single marker sat there, indicating seven Woodsy Elves – their only eyes on the barbarian horde.
He would have ordered Sir Barringer to join them but, as a Man, he would only risk exposing the elves to the enemy. One thing Sir Barringer was not, was stealthy. Still, Gordon had given the warlord a unique set of orders this morning…
* * *
Nara Shan waited in the trees by the road. She had veiled herself and one of her stackmates as a pair of Timber Wolves to evade detection by the enemy lookamancer. The other members of her stack she had left in the scout blinds she had prepared for them. The less they moved, the better.
As she watched the road, a Dixieland warlord rode by on a nickel horse, right on schedule. She watched from the trees, her own foolamancy mimicking the natural camouflage of the Timber Wolf to stay hidden. When the warlord reached the fork in the road her chief had ordered her to watch, he removed his hat and threw it by the brim into the woods.
Nara Shan waited until he had ridden out of sight before running to retrieve the hat. A wand was clipped to the hatband, wrapped in a piece of paper. Nara Shan resized the hat small enough to fit in her pouch and ran back to where her stackmates waited at the scouting blind.
This shallow pit beneath a pile of brush had been camouflaged with her foolamancy. If the lookamancer probed this bush with her magic, she would see nothing but a patch of brush and stinging nettles with nothing beneath it but bare dirt – hopefully.
Once in the safety of the blind, she unrolled the parchment from around the wand. At the top were written the command words – Marco to send and Polo to receive. Beneath that were her orders to observe which road the enemy forces took and return that information using this hat. They would live in this blind until two turns from now, waiting for the enemy to move.
Now, however, there was a much more important piece of information she needed to send Chief Gordon of Dixieland…
* * *
Gordon was a little surprised when he felt his hat rumble atop his head. All of his orders for the turn had already been sent and acknowledged.
"Shackleton," he intoned, tapping the brim of the hat with his wand. He removed the small, torn piece of parchment from the hat and read it.
"Curse me for a fool!" he shouted, startling both Dale and the king from their game at a nearby table. Dale recovered first.
"What is it?" she asked.
"The enemy has a lookamancer!" Gordon exclaimed, throwing the scrap of parchment onto the map table. "That's why our ambush failed!"
"A lookamancer?" the king asked, walking over to the table and picking up the note. "Are you certain?"
"It explains everything," Gordon replied. "How they knew we were coming in time to reinforce Arboria, how they have marched through our territory from clearing to clearing as though they knew it better than we do, how they found the logging camp, the ambush – everything!"
"How does this change our strategy?" King Condon asked.
"Well, for one thing," Gordon said as he took the croupier's rake from its hooks on the side of the table, "we assume they can see everything!"
Using the handle instead of the rake Gordon cleared every marker from the map table. Then he picked up the entire stack of troop reports and hurled them into the fireplace.
"By the Titans!" King Condon exclaimed.
"Dale," Gordon said to her, "you are our only defense against this. All messages have to be encoded by signamancy from this point forward."
"I can make code books for our commanders to use," Dale told him. "Only they will be able to read them. Our messages will look like nonsense to the enemy. I should be able to make two, maybe three, per turn."
"Start with one for myself and Prince Murphy," Gordon ordered. "Until then, we issue only ruler orders to commanders without code books. Can we shield this room from them?"
"Not with signamancy," Dale replied, shaking her head. "For that we'd need a foolamancer - on contract for the duration of the war."
"Find one!" King Condon ordered. "Tonight, after you've made all of the code books you can."
"Yes, your majesty."
* * *
"They've cleared the table, Sire," Kala told him. "They know about me, somehow. Someone sent them a message that I exist."
"But you saw their troop layouts?" Minghis asked.
"Yes, Sire."
"I need a projection."
"At once, Sire," Klytus replied. He touched the back of Kala's head with the fingers of his left hand and then Cashcarry with the fingers of his right.
"Memorex, Verbatim, TDK," Cashcarry intoned. A replica of the war room map table in Dixieland's capital as it had been a few moments ago appeared in front of Minghis. He spent several minutes studying the terrain and the troop placements of the entire enemy side.
"Here," Minghis said indicating a large force to the northeast. "This is where their army is."
"It's all the way across the kingdom from us," Khan noted. "Northeast of Azalea. Why?"
"Because they were at war with someone else," Minghis said. "Probably the Earl Land they thought we were allied with."
"Are they still at war?" Ornella asked.
"I don't think so," Minghis told her. "This army is only a turn or two past Azalea. I think they are coming back to deal with us."
"How large is their force?" Khan asked.
"I can't be certain," Minghis said, leaning over the projection to study the stack of figures northeast of Azalea.
"If each of these figures is a stack…," he mused, "ten stacks of knights, twenty of stabbers, ten of pikers, ten of archers, no siege. But look at this figure."
Both Ornella and Khan leaned in to look at the projected figure Minghis was pointing to. It looked almost like a white chess piece with a golden crown.
"The king?" Ornella asked.
"No," Minghis said with a smile. "His heir."
* * *
Once again, Gordon stood over the map table. Dale had returned last night with a master class foolamancer from the Magic Kingdom named Fahred Dey. According to her, all of the foolamancer's she had spoken with claimed that this man was better than any of them at blocking lookamancy and even thinkamancy.
They were paying for it, as well – triple his upkeep for every turn of his employ, six hundred shmuckers per turn, paid daily. He had also requested that the map table be set up in the portal room. He claimed that his protective magic would be more effective underground, but Gordon suspected that the barbarian caster simply wanted to be close to the portal if the city came under attack.
The foolamancer had spent all night and all of his juice building a strange, glowing construct around the portal room. Once in place, he claimed that it would only require about half of his daily juice to maintain. According to him, no lookamancy or thinkamancy would be able to penetrate into the portal room while it persisted. It appeared as if the entire room, and the doorway into it, had been wrapped in a hexagonal mesh of some type, almost like a net.
The portal room was cooler than the war room and there was no fireplace to hold the chill at bay. Gordon made a mental note to bring a coat with him the next time he left the room.
Even with the chill, it was good to have the map table back in use. Last turn, Gordon had been forced to order his Woodsy Elf scouts away from Summer Fort, in case Minghis' lookamancer had seen their location on the map table. But it didn't matter. Fahred, in addition to being a master foolamancer, was also an adept lookamancer. When Dixieland's turn ended at noon today, he would show them which road the barbarians took.
Prince Murphy's column would reach Azalea this turn. Once they knew where the barbarian was headed, Gordon would discuss Prince Murphy's orders with the king.
"Sir Barringer has arrived," the king informed him. The turn was very near its end if Barringer had arrived.
"Please have him come to the portal room, your majesty," Gordon replied. "Master Dey, our turn is about to end. Give us eyes on Summer Fort."
Fahred Dey complied and a dwagon's eye view of the city appeared over the map table. At this scale, Gordon could easily see the city and all six hexes surrounding it. They watched as the turn ended and Minghis' army moved out onto the northeast road. So, either the capital or Dogwood was their destination.
"Reporting as ordered, your majesty," Barringer said, startling Gordon.
"Stand by, Sir Barringer," Gordon ordered. "Master Dey, center on that hex. Get me closer, but I still want to see the city."
To Gordon it almost seemed as if the hex came up to meet them, dropping about half the distance in a few seconds. It made him a little dizzy for just a moment. Now he could almost make out individual figures in Minghis' army.
"This is incredible," Sir Barringer whispered. He was not wrong. Gordon thought this alone was almost worth what they were paying Master Dey. Almost.
"What is happening here?" Gordon asked, pointing to a location near the gate. A few figures stood alone by the gate. Gordon was almost certain one of them was Minghis.
There was that same disorienting sense of moving and falling without movement and Gordon could now see that it had indeed been Minghis by the gate. One man had his hands on Minghis' shoulders and the overlord was raising his arms toward the city, as if to raze it. There was an oxcart next to them. Something in it sparkled.
"Closer!" Gordon ordered.
Gordon gasped in surprise. The oxcart was full of gems and more gems were falling into it, appearing in midair. This too, explained everything.
"I need to see that caster's face!" Gordon ordered.
"Any closer and their lookamancer may detect…" Dey began.
"I don't care!" Gordon said. "I need to see his face! Dale, attend!"
This time the perspective shift was so drastic that Gordon had to grip the edges of the map table to steady himself. Now it was as though he were looking directly at Minghis and his men. The caster looked…clean, for lack of a better word. No facial hair, at all, almost like a woman, but definitely male. Gordon would know him if he saw him again.
Then a woman, dressed in black trousers and a black sequined tunic turned to look directly at him, surprise plain on her face. The lookamancer, no doubt. She had a harsh face, beneath a gold headdress and a mock breastplate, also of gold. Her look changed from surprise to a snarl of anger and she gestured as her lips moved in speech. The image vanished.
"As I warned…," Master Dey began.
"Can you regain your original view?" Gordon interrupted.
"Yes, she cannot block my view from that far out."
"Do so," Gordon ordered. "Dale, Barringer, did you see that caster? The effete male?"
"Yes, Viscount," Barringer replied.
"As did I," Dale added.
"From now on, that is our primary target," Gordon said. "Kill him and a few turns later this entire army will vanish. That is their moneymancer!"
* * *
"The enemy is watching us," Kala said as soon as the razing of Summer Fort had been completed.
"What?" Minghis asked. "How?"
"Lookamancer," Kala said. "Apparently they have one of their own. I have not felt him before…they must have recently acquired him."
"Can you keep them from spying on us?" Minghis asked.
"Only if I do nothing else."
"When we make plans this evening, you will block them," Minghis ordered. "Otherwise, continue to scout."
"Yes, Sire."
"Is there nothing we can do to prevent them from spying on us?" Ornella asked.
"It matters not," Minghis told her. "Let them see us coming."
Must be thanks for the nice article here getting get free robux here it is the nice fun for all players.
Small, but annoying continuity error: when you introduce Fahred Dey you said he was an adept foolamancer, but a couple paragraphs down you said he was a master foolamancer, so i was hoping you could fix that error or say which one he is?
Thanks for catching that. Master Dey is, of course, master class. Fixed the chapter.

ALF RAMSEY, Brian Clough and Bobby Robson.
Just three of the all-time great English managers to have had statutes built in their honour.
But among the list of legends to be immortalised in stone could soon be a new name.
And he is a little-known 42-year-old from Solihull, who, against all the odds, has taken Sweden by storm.
Here's introducing Graham Potter.
In just six years, he has guided Ostersunds from the Swedish fourth tier to the Europa League group stages, where they incredibly beat Hertha Berlin last month.
The former lower-league journeyman is actually the ONLY English manager in European competition this season.
And now an Ostersund resident has submitted a proposal to build a statue of him – a plan which has received so much support it will be discussed by the city's council.
Speaking exclusively to SunSport, the Brummie blushed: "I read that in the local newspaper the other day.
"Apparently a few people have nominated it, so then it's put to the commune and the commune then decides whether they want to do it or not.
"I'm hoping they can spend their money somewhere else – it is very embarrassing."
"Embarrassing" is also the word Potter uses when asked about the comparisons he has drawn to ex-England boss Roy Hodgson, who himself had success in Sweden at the start of his managerial career.
But actually, the real embarrassment is that no English clubs have even enquired about the services of a man whose achievements to date are as magical as his fictional wizard namesake.
The ex-England Under-21 full-back shrugged: "There have been no approaches at all.
"Whether people are aware or people are interested, I'm not sure.
"But I'm not looking for it. I'm just concentrating on the job I'm doing."
And what a job – if any chairman back home need telling – that is.
Potter, who came on as a sub for Southampton in their famous 6-3 win over Manchester United in 1996, quit playing aged 30 after a spell at Macclesfield – his tenth English club in a 13-year career.
He then became a coach at Hull University, before moving on to a similar role at Leeds Metropolitan – now Leeds Beckett – where he also studied for a master's degree in leadership.
Potter enjoyed working in a "safe environment where you are not going to get sacked".
But after five years in the education sector he was put in touch with Ostersunds by his former Boston team-mate and current Belgium No2 Graeme Jones, who knew the club's chairman Daniel Kindberg.
Potter recalled: "I was going into the unknown.
"I had some anxieties about it. I was in a good position in the UK, my wife had a business which she'd built up and we'd just had our first child.
"And there were some struggles in the first six months.
"When I arrived, it was January and it was minus 25 degrees. I quickly saw why it's known as the Winter City.
"If it gets too cold in training the footballs freeze and it can become quite dangerous, so you are having to bring them back and forth from indoors.
"There was also a lot of negativity around because the club had just got relegated into the fourth tier.
"There were 600 people going to watch our matches – and most of those wanted us to lose!"
How times have changed, with last Thursday's tie against Hertha attracting a capacity crowd of 8,009 – quite a figure given the city's population is only around 50,000.
So what has been the secret to Potter's stunning success, which saw Ostersunds win the Swedish Cup last season for the first time in their short 21-year history.
Modest as ever, Potter replied: "We've just worked very hard.
"We had an idea of how we wanted to play and we tried to understand that we need to be different because of our own unique environment and challenges.
"We've obviously had a bit of luck as well.
"But looking back it's pretty special to be involved in and I am very proud."
It is not just performances on the pitch that Potter is proud of, however.
Each season Ostersunds take on a different cultural project, spending their time away from training to learn new skills, which they then show off to the public.
During Potter's tenure they have performed a play, written a book, held an art exhibition, put on an open-air rock concert and, most memorably, staged their own version of ballet Swan Lake.
And this year? Potter revealed: "We are doing some work with the Sami people – the Laplanders – which is the indigenous culture here.
"One of the teachers is a Sami rap artist, so we are going be telling our own story through a rap song and perform it at an outdoor museum.
"The players have just bought into the fact that that's how we work here and they see the value in making them a little more comfortable in the uncomfortable situations."
Clearly, then, nothing fazes Potter or his players, which might explain how they were able to cope away at Galatasaray in July's Europa League qualifier – and even win over the home fans.
Potter explained: "We were 2-0 up from the first leg, so the crowd were really hostile to start with.
"But when the final whistle blew, and we had drawn 1-1 to go through, their fans were clapping us and giving us a standing ovation.
"We did a lap round and it was spine-tingling."
Ostersunds followed that famous win by seeing off Luxembourg's Fola Esch and Greece's PAOK Thessaloniki to reach the Europa League proper.
There, they top Group J, having played two, won two, beating Zorya Luhansk of Ukraine and Hertha, with Athletic Bilbao next up on Thursday week.
But lifting the Swedish league title one day – they are sixth and out of the running with four games to go this season – is the ultimate ambition for Potter.
And he added: "We have only been in the top division two seasons and it has been an unbelievable journey to get there.
"But the aim has got to be to try to win it for the first time."
Do that and the proposal for Potter's statue will surely get the green light.

The Guardian London 3 April 2002
The BBC's world news editor, Jonathan Baker, has joined the chorus of condemnation of the Israeli authorities after reporter Orla Guerin was rounded on by government troops.
Baker said the incident on Monday was "the most serious that we have encountered directly since the start of the second intifada."
He said he suspected Israel was prepared to take even stronger measures to conceal what was happening in the occupied territories from the outside world.
His remarks came the day Israeli police fired tear gas to hold back more than 2,000 Israeli activists - Jews and Arabs - who were trying to deliver humanitarian supplies to the besieged West Bank town of Ramallah.
"It's part of series of incidents in recent weeks which have prompted suspicions that the Israelis are prepared to take ever stronger measures to discourage media organisations from reporting what's happening in the occupied territories," said Baker.
"They are now seeking to exclude journalists from Ramallah and Bethlehem by declaring them military zones, and suggesting that future freedom to work in Israel may be a problem for those who continue to report from there.
"We are well aware of the dangers of continuing to report from Israel, and do everything we can to minimise them.
"We are also mindful that the Palestinian Authority has from time to time put obstacles in the way of free reporting of events in the occupied territories.
"The possibility that the Israelis are willing to fire on journalists, by way of warning or otherwise, obviously increases those dangers considerably," he added.
Baker's statement follows a welter of criticism from press freedom organisations at the Israeli authorities draconian stance towards press and international observers.
Earlier today Ann Cooper, the director of the Committee to Protect Journalists, issued a strong statement, saying: "Barring journalists from conflict areas constitutes censorship".
And another press group, Reporters Sans Frontieres, called for the immediate lifting of the ban.
Baker said the BBC, along with other media groups including the Guardian and the Foreign Press Association, had made representations to the Israeli authorities.

Posted: June 3, 2015
There are plenty of great reasons to contemplate plastic surgery in Maryland, but combating the effects of the sun doesn't have to be one of them as long as you're careful. Between June 1-8, the Sun Safety Alliance promotes Sun Safety Week. It's a great time to prepare for the bright days ahead.
While most people eagerly embrace summer's warmth and fun-filled possibilities, the sun's ultraviolet (UV) radiation can cause spots, wrinkles, bumps and discolored patches on the skin. Many of these conditions can be significantly minimized through microdermabrasion, a safe, quick treatment that exfoliates the skin while stimulating circulation and collagen production.
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your sunny days with minimal negative consequences:
Seek shade: The sun's rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., so try to limit your direct exposure during that time. Shady areas might not do much for your tan, but they can ultimately lead to more comfortable experiences and long-term benefits.
Check your local UV index forecast: The National Weather Service and EPA issue daily UV index forecasts, providing localized information about the expected risk of overexposure to UV radiation.
Dress defensively: Wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses that block 99-100% of UV rays (these high-quality glasses are sometimes labeled "UV absorption up to 400nm"). Long-sleeved shirts and pants are also recommended.
Master the art of sunscreen: Choosing an effective sunscreen can be one of your most important decisions when protecting yourself from the sun's harmful rays, so don't skimp. Spa Bella Skin Care Boutique offers an array of high-quality sunscreen products. The FDA recommends sunscreens with broad spectrum SPF values of 15 or higher. Some other sunscreen tips include:
- Check the expiration date
- Apply before getting dressed
- Apply often
- Apply with makeup (despite SPF labeling)
- Allow 20 minutes to absorb into skin
If you suffer from skin damage, and are curious about the benefits of microdermabrasion or other plastic surgery, Maryland surgeon Dr. Michael Chiaramonte offers the expertise you need.
Contact us today by completing the form on this page, or by calling (301) 567-6767 to schedule a consultation. Dr. Chiaramonte proudly serves patients in Maryland, Washington D.C. and Northern Virginia.

All Kevin Durant had to say was "I love Manila" for the crowd at the Big Dome to go wild. The two-time NBA champion and one-time Most Valuable Player is currently in town for the second time, as part of a tour with Nike to grace Filipino fans with his presence.
The Golden State Warriors superstar immersed himself in the basketball-crazy nation through a champion's welcome in Bonifacio Global City, where fans braved the erratic weather just to get a glimpse of him. A group of select ballers were also fortunate enough to be trained by Durant himself, before he and his longtime collaborator, Nike Basketball Footwear Designer Leo Chang, met with members of the media for a quick chat.
KD, who recently renewed his contract with the defending champions, talked about life after his second title, being able to add DeMarcus Cousins ("We ruined it"), players starting to "take control of their careers," and the KD 11 with Chang, among other topics. His entourage then headed to the Smart Araneta Coliseum for the KD Nike Hyper Court Team All-Star Challenge, which saw Durant's team face off against an All-Star collection of the country's top college players.
Despite losing in the exhibition match, 85-82, the nine-time All-Star didn't fail to give his local following a good show—whether he was putting the dribble moves on his unlucky defender or hilariously reacting to a botched play. "It was my first time back on the court. I'm too tired," Durant exclaimed after the game. Going out of his way to personally experience the Pinoys' love for the game just made everyone appreciate him even more. Much love, KD!

ROLL ON. If you don't like the weather here, wait ten minutes, it'll change. (Then you'll really hate it!) From 40 above to 4 below in 40 hours, it'll be an interesting swing, and again when we kick up near 30 tomorrow. With the recent chill, we check in on the mid-month WSI and where the index sits for the season as part of today's Three Things.
(Featured Photo: A pair of whitetail does meet an oncomer in a small copse of saplings. This winter has been relatively kind to area wildlife, with snow cover lacking. Simonson Photo)
DAILY CONDITIONS: WEATHER (Bismarck Forecast):
Today: Thu 2/15 – Temps Fall All Day – Hi 28, Lo -4. Winds N@20, G30.
Tomorrow: Fri 2/16 – Decent Again! – Hi 25, Lo 1. Winds SW@10.
SOLUNAR (Bismarck Times):
Sunrise: 7:45AM Sunset: 6:08PM
Moonrise: 7:50AM Moonset 6:06PM
Overhead: 12:55PM Underfoot: 12:31AM
Moon Phase: New @ 3:05PM
EDGE HOUR: 7:00-8:00AM. As the front pushes through will be your best chance at a bite, and temps will still be in the teens during the Edge Hour…but not for long!
MID-MONTH WSI. We're halfway through February (shortest month, so not a challenge) and due to a stretch of cold weather, we're seeing an uptick in the DEO Winter Severity Index (WSI). 12 out of February's first 14 days hit zero or less, racking up 12 points, more than any previous month. The lack of snow on the ground has kept thermal cover available and food still relatively easy to find for birds, deer and other wildlife, so no points there for going over 12 inches (less than four inches on the ground around Bismarck). We currently sit at 34 out of a possible 152 points in our armchair WSI.
HIP TO BE SQUARE. Trapper Tackle has an interesting take on the norm, with square-bend treble, worm and drop-shot hooks that boast a more efficient way to fish plastics with less re-rigging, and a better connection to fish, as the angles are touted keep the hook in place better than a standard curved hook.
THAT'S MEAN. While digging through the depths of the internet, the legend of a hybrid smallmouth/spotted bass continues to grow, perpetuating the reputation of the "meanmouth bass" as a rare and powerful mix. With the broken bars and cheek radial markings of the smallie, but the horizontal black line of a spot, this fish found predominantly in the south where both species occupy the same waters can be tough to ID.
Stay Sharp!

Yesterday early-stage biotech companies Apellis and InflaRX both went public, raising $150 million and $100 million respectively. Today we should see the Wall Street debut of Erytech Pharma, which is expected to raise $100 million.
That will bring the biotech IPO tally for 2017 to 30 so far—handily outpacing the final tally for 2016 of 26. The amount of money raised in biotech IPOs this year is more than $1.9 billion, again surpassing last year, when biotechs raised $1.7 billion.
The environment is ripe for more biotech companies to go public in the coming months, predicted Nelson Griggs, president of Nasdaq Stock Exchange, and Jordan Saxe, senior managing director and head of healthcare capital markets at the exchange, in an interview. Here are edited excerpts from our conversation.
Arlene Weintraub: Biotech IPOs slowed down a bit earlier this year but seem to be experiencing a resurgence following a few notable acquisitions, including Gilead's $11.9 billion purchase of CAR-T company Kite Pharma. How important has M&A been to fueling biotech IPOs?
Jordan Saxe: Kite Pharma really reinvigorated the investor appetite in biotech, because it shows that we're seeing great exits. All of these biotechs want to have a great outcome and really cure disease, but they're also looking for strategic financing. So the hope is to go public, and then once their clinical data is proven, they can get acquired.
We're starting to see that path be proven, and that's given a lot of these companies in the IPO pipeline more ambition and hope for M&A.
Weintraub: At the same time, the obstacles to going public can be steep, particularly for small companies. What can be done to alleviate these challenges?
Nelson Griggs: When you look at the regulations that are put on companies, we say the pendulum has swung a bit too far. It has become fairly costly for companies, especially ones that are smaller in size, to really keep up with the pace of the regulatory demands.
One of my main jobs is to speak to companies throughout the entire country, and definitely the proxy process has come up quite a bit over say the last four or five years as something that is ripe for some reform.
The other big issue that impacts a smaller sized company is transparency around their trading. So today there's a long disclosure but no short disclosure.
Those are two areas I highlight. But if you look at the overall blueprint, I'd say there's about 20 items or so that we need to chip away at so it's not so burdensome to be a public company. That would certainly help the biotech community.
(For more, see video below.)
Weintraub: What about the constant pressure to deliver quarterly results?
Griggs: This is a key consideration, and one that can cause biotech stocks to be quite volatile. Investors have to buy into the long-term potential. Biotech is much more driven off of testing data than the types of financials that affect technology or consumer companies. So it does come down to the communication about how they're progressing through trials, how they are working towards different metrics and goals they set on the road show. They really do have to have investors who appreciate the long-term potential.
Weintraub: What are some of the other factors driving biotech IPOs this year?
Saxe: I look more at the overall performance. There have been fewer biotech deals than there were in the last few years, but the quality of these deals is higher. It's not so much one deal. It's the overall trend that we're seeing and the types of investors considering biotech companies to be great assets.
Griggs: The Nasdaq Biotech Index is up almost 22% year-to-date. The S&P is up 14%. That's a pretty big spread there. That's going to get the attention of the generalist investors—not just the biotech specialists.
Weintraub: How will the political climate play into this trend going forward?
Saxe: One of the things that we've been looking at is the amount of cash on the balance sheets of large pharma companies. Currently there's $83 billion in cash on balance sheets. If you look at cash and short term investments, which could be deployed as needed, you're looking at almost a trillion dollars. And that's capital that could be deployed to acquire biotech assets.
What's interesting politically is if that if they are allowed to repatriate some of the tax money that's offshore, that's almost $98 billion. When you combine that with cash on balance sheets, it could create a really interesting cycle for M&A activity. You could see some of these companies get acquired. That's one thing that we're watching for 2018.
Griggs: Drug pricing also comes up, and that does tend to whipsaw the sector a bit, but it has reached a point where it's not in the headlines as much as it was in the first part of the year.
Then the third political issue is how quickly drugs move through the regulatory process. That started to improve in '15 and '16 and it has carried through. There's really been an improvement in how the FDA works with companies to deliver drug approvals.
Weintraub: What are your predictions for biotech IPOs in 2018?
Saxe: It comes back to the performance of the Nasdaq biotech index overall. Look at the growth of that index—it's really incredible. I think there's a real story there. We see a lot of passive long-term investors looking at the biotech index for their overall portfolio strategy.
We do expect to see another IPO cycle come through by the end of the year. Depending on road shows that get launched it could be another three to five biotech IPOs before the end of the year.

Lucas Ihlein's Underground "Radish" print just released!
Hot off the press is this new print, made as a commemorative collectable to accompany the launch of the latest Artlink Magazine, themed on "The Underground".
I had the privelege of guest-editing the magazine, and I was overwhelmed by all the stuff I COULD HAVE included, but was not able to. (You can read more about the contents of the magazine here).
So I decided to make a drawing documenting this failure to squeeze everything in.
Above the line you have (roughly) the contents of the magazine. Below the line you have all the things (well, not ALL) which didn't make it in. Note the "etc" at the bottom right… It kind of comes out like an iceberg, but I also like to think of it as a radish ("the humble daikon").
The print was produced as a run of 100, signed and numbered.
We used "dutch etching" paper, which printed really nicely, and the idea was to make it look a bit like the marker ink was bleeding into the fibres of the paper.
The print is now available online for only 70 Aussie dollars! Click here to visit our online store.
Get in quick as our editions often sell out fast.
-cheers, Lucas

As of TODAY... this is what is going on:
The local Hepatologist told me on Thursday afternoon, before he released Don to go home, that he would be calling me that afternoon to confirm who it was that we needed to see (team of doctors in Houston) in order for Don to get his hernia repaired and now possibly ?? getting his gall bladder out...in Houston by one of the surgeons in the team of surgeons that the transplant doctor works with.
...no call ever came...
On Friday, I called Don's transplant specialist to get the name of the General Surgeons that they work with. I called and asked for the soonest possible appointment, and was told it was the 30Th of August. After a brief hesitation (and a very deep breath) I explained to the nurse what we had already been though and asked if there was not something sooner. Nothing she replied. Then she asked if Don was in pain because of his hernia. I replied yes. She lowered her voice and suggested that we just 'check' him into the emergency room of the Houston hospital where we knew he would eventually have the operation anyway..
I thanked her and hung up the phone. I explained everything to Don and told him he would need to make the choice. He thought about it a lot and decided to just wait for our appointment on the 30Th.

"Gran Pavo Real" by Great Peacock
"Through catchy riffs, memorable choruses, and pristine production Great Peacock is really increasing their mainstream visibility with "Gran Pavo Real" but without losing any of the vital components that made them great in the first place. This is a band that should be a household name when it comes to the Americana genre, and this album should find them that recognition."
If you'd like more from Great Peacock, you can get information and music at their website and make sure to catch them in concert when they come to your town.

Most individuals will aspire to save more money, a larger portion of people experience difficulty when it comes to setting a certain percentage of their income to savings. Actually, a survey done some years ago realized that more than half of Americans are not able to put aside at least a thousand dollars that may cater for unforeseen occurrences which include emergency expenses.
Nevertheless, this shouldn't be a cause of alarm if at all your account balance may not be where you wish it would be. You can now access help from sources you couldn't expect such as AI-powered bots that have been provisioned by your bank. If you made the decision to walk into a bank and request for assistance or advice on how to manage or even adjust on the spending habits you have in order to save, chances are you will receive blank stares. If you probably contact the customer care desk of your bank, you will be transferred perhaps from one department to another. Finally, they may offer you an opportunity to seek the assistance of a financial adviser who will help you in the process of building an investment portfolio.
With the large amount of data being collected by your bank, with the inclusion of payments, balances and transactions, you may probably think that your bank might be in a position to offer you customized and even better guidance when aiming for financial success. However, achieving your financial goals will actually require you to adjust your behavior when it comes to spending and saving. The current banking relationship has a gap that needs to be filled, as they have not incorporated the aspect of their clients spending habits.
Chatbots And The Bank
Here is where the AI-powered bots come in as a game changer. Instead of consulting a banker who recently took a quick glance at your name and your balances before you began a conversation. You are now in a position to access the help of a bot that can analyze your recent financial activities and propose practical steps, which you may need to take in order to realize your short-term and long-term goals with your finances.
A bot can actually do a lot more, leave alone giving advice or showing you the right direction to follow. For instance, Chatbotalk provides virtual agent services that help most business people access vast data information on their client portfolio. Many people experience challenge when it comes to staying on course as falling back to old habits can be tempting and easy.
Advantages Of The Bot
As opposed to bankers, the bot is always available to render its services and monitor progress and spending. It may as well remind you to reduce on your spending the moment you start straying from your original plan. It pops up at the appropriate time, and gives you tips that will significantly help you in cutting down on your spending and boost your savings consequently. This may mean advising you whenever a large amount of deposit is received or probably before you decide to go on a spending spree.
However, the question is whether the bots are ready to step up to the task where a considerable amount of responsibility is expected of them? Most banking experts have made claims that the bots aren't ready. Facebook unleashed that more than thirty thousand bots have been made since the opening of the messenger platform to other developers. As expected, there has been a rush in coming up with bots. For instance, there exists poorly designed bots, which may make you laugh at their lack of effectiveness and simplicity.
Chatbots are new in the financial services and will probably take a considerable amount of time to mature. The bots need to master a number of skills in the first day for them to be considered trustworthy and useful to customers. Silvia provides a system that is developed and ensures transactions get delivered securely and seamlessly, thus providing a good solution for you.
A bot will only be of assistance if at all it knows you, accessing your financial history and data will not be enough, there is need for it to analyze vast personal information in order to comprehend your financial behavior and come up with a recommendation that relies on your personal goals.

I arrived in Shanghai, rested and relaxed. Having stayed up all night leading up to the flight, I easily slept 9 of the 12 hour flight. I woke up every time they came around with food - and a couple of times I sampled the movie long enough to know it was horrible - and then fell right asleep again. Upon landing, everything went smoothly, including picking up my screwdriver from airport security, who held it since they confiscated it last month apparently out of fear that I would disassemble the plane.
This is a trip of many firsts. I'm traveling with many coworkers - more and more every day - so I have plenty of offers to go out to eat, walk around, get into adventures. Olga will be joining me next week - that's a first - and I had my first sushi in China.

On the other hand, Monday's China Daily had an editorial titled "China Deserves Nobel Peace Prize" - I read it and I still don't even understand what that was about. Still no references to the "other" China Nobel Peace prize news.
Different countries latch on to funny things. Last night in the hotel lobby, they kept playing an instrumental version of the theme song to Titanic. Then today, having lunch at a Shanghainese restaurant, that same tune again. How strange that it is so popular here. Such a horrible earworm!
Several coworkers and I went to dinner at an Indian restaurant. The food was good and there was a surprise dance show (SEE PHOTO). Clearly it's going to be an interesting trip, one with many firsts.

I would describe it more like Jamba Juice with healthy light fare. It's a very Westernized (Californized actually) cafe. Folks are polarized for and against it. I have a few coworkers who are extremely conservative food-wise due to past illness, and some who absolutely refuse Western food when they are here :)

Portrait 10 Warning Signs Of Colon Cancer You Shouldn't Ignore | Top 10 Home regarding Signs And Symptoms Of Rectal Cancer
Article Related to Signs And Symptoms Of Rectal Cancer :
Story of Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis – signs and symptoms of rectal cancer
The day prior to my colonoscopy on Friday, September 2nd I mentioned to my bride, Kathy, that if medical doctors recognized something then it will probably our trip-up to her mothers "wouldve been" placed on hold. You meet I had a strong suspicion that something was erroneous. Of direction, the first thing that comes to mind is the C-word( cancer ).
Let me preface all of this by saying that I am far away from a neurotic. In detail, I would be the anti-hypochondriac. I never go to the doctor even when I know things are wrong. I have never been the sorting to run to the doctor at the first sight of pain or a sniffle. In knowledge, I had perhaps been having a few indications for awhile and I never did nothing about it. But this was different. I knew my figure and ability that circumstances weren't functioning as they should.
As my manager are working to shake the cobwebs of the anesthesia from the colonoscopy, medical doctors gave me the information that I had been horror. There was a growth in the lower part of my colon( or the upper part of my rectum) that gaped questionable. They were communicating it out to be biopsied and would hopefully have the results in 24 hours but he was fairly certain that we were looking at cancer. I was admitted to the hospital to have farther research pass and to decide what course of action that would be necessary.
Your world can come gate-crash to a halting in a moment. Life is fragile. Life is uncertain. No one is guaranteed a tomorrow and now there was a possibility that my tomorrows might be limited.
My wife's cousin had been diagnosed with breast cancer just 4 months earlier. She is 43 and the mother of 3 youths. My uncle was diagnosed in January of 2011. He lived about 2 week before my diagnosis. He had a mere 8 months between diagnosis and extinction. These thoughts and others run through your manager when you get the word. Cancer can be a frightening diagnosis.

Today on the blog I'm sharing something that's been on my heart for a while now.
Endometriosis + Infertility.
It's a chronic illness that affects 1 in 10 women.
The official definition of endometriosis is:
a condition resulting from the appearance of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and causing pelvic pain.
Basically endometrial tissue that should be in the uterus somehow grows outside of it. Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis. Endometrial tissue may spread beyond pelvic organs.
This causes extreme pain.
Painful periods.
Pain in between periods.
Pain during intercourse.
Pack in your back, neck, legs.
Pain with bowel movements.
Currently there's no known cause.
And, there's no way to diagnose without laparoscopic surgery.
It's a disease that an estimated 1 in 10 women suffer from and it's the most common reason for infertility.
On February 14th of this year I underwent laparoscopic surgery for the diagnosis and removal of endometrial tissue. Both ovaries were completely covered in endometrial lesions.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Three reasons.
1. This is a very real disease and it's time to shine a light on it and improve the health of those living with it. It's time to talk about it.
2. It's time to find a way to diagnose endometriosis without surgery. McMaster University is working on finding a connection between a blood protein and endometriosis. You can read about their study here. I'm extremely interested in helping find a way for doctors to diagnose and to help educate doctors on signs and symptoms.
3. We're doing a fashion fundraiser in September to raise funds for research + education. We're not 100% sure how this will look exactly. Whether we'll partner with an established endometriosis charity or create our own. But we do know that all proceeds from this fundraiser will go towards endometriosis research. On top of that a portion of all future profits of Once Upon A Time Weddings will go to fund this goal.
Want to get involved? Shoot us an email firstname.lastname@example.com
Save the Date: Sunday, September 23rd
More details to follow.

Law firm sues Kushner real estate business for unpaid bills
A law firm that represented senior White House adviser Jared Kushner's real estate company in court is now suing the company for lack of payment, The New York Daily News reported Sunday.
Corcnicello, Tendler & Baumel-Cornicello filed a lawsuit earlier this month seeking $102,000 for work done in 2014 and 2015. The law firm represented Kushner Companies in dozens of eviction and housing cases, the newspaper reported.
A spokeswoman for Kushner Cos. told the Daily News that the company is "working to resolve this matter."
Kushner stepped down as CEO of his company earlier this year to go work for President Trump, his father-in-law, in the White House.
Kushner's properties have come under scrutiny elsewhere. Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh announced in October he was investigating debt collection practices and poor maintenance at several of the company's properties.
The company also faced scrutiny in May when Kushner's sister, Nicole Meyer, a principal at the company, mentioned her brother's service in the Trump administration during a pitch to investors in Beijing.

corner joint (2013)
corner joint (2013)
corner joint (2013)
Mounted on archival vellum paper 14"x17" (vertical)
This work was first exhibited in A Building for Breathing at Gage Academy, Seattle in 2013.
It was a collaborative exhibition with Gala Bent, curated by Colleen RJC Bratton.
"The process began with our discovery that we'd both been reading Gaston Bachelard's "Poetics of Space," and we began discussing the ways that his book had been influencing us. We shared thoughts about the domestic space as a psychological and oneiric stage, about the ways that buildings (especially houses) both echo and double our own bodies and about the idiosyncratic approach Bachelard felt free to use in this text. Serrah's work was a wonderful jumping-off point for me, since it is evocative and visually sophisticated, but open ended. I find, in her work, the hush between sounds. The awareness of an edge before you arrive at an object fully formed and named."

Why come to Capitol? What is the Capitol difference? Hear what our former students have to say:
Aynsley Wernick, class of 2010:
Throughout high school I knew I wanted to live and breathe hair. I went into school with a positive attitude and rocked it out. 13 months later the day came; I was official. I am currently working at Scissori's Salon and Skincare Loft alongside Tina Spencer. She has so much to offer and I have learned a lot already. Being truly passionate about what I do, I am quickly climbing the ladder in the industry. I have big dreams of being a well-known hair artist for fashion. Thanks to Capitol, I know I will be successful. Thank you everyone that crossed my path and for everyone who pushed me to be the best!
Maggie Swartz, class of 2009:
I started at Capitol in the beginning of 08′. After looking at many schools I chose capitol because I heard it was one of the top hair schools in the nation. I moved from Illinois to be able to attend. Capitol is definatly of higher quality education and is not for everyone. You need to have a strong passion for hair and be ready to work hard and have the instructors push you. Capitol is stricter than a lot of schools but it helps you obtain vital work habits to make you successful such as, being on time and dressing and looking professional. After graduating in 09′ I worked for a wonderful man, Seth Revord who helped me learn what it meant to be a good business women. He taught me the basics of what a successful stylist is. I owe a lot of my success to my teachers at Capitol and to Seth. I know I wouldn't be where i am today without their support. Currently I have been doing hair less than 2 years and am purchasing my very own salon at the end of this month! I hope this helps future students in their decision and perhaps ill be hearing from some of you in the future for potential employment!
Janet Klein, Esthetics class of 2009:
As a Licensed Massage Therapist of 15 years, I was looking for a new way to provide exceptional service to my clients. Enrolling in the Esthetics program at Capitol was the best way to accomplish that! In only 6 months I was able achieve the training I needed to expand my business and introduce new services to my already accomplished massage therapy practice. My clients loved the new addition of esthetic services!
Kristy Briggs, class of 2010:
I'm so blessed to have graduated from Capitol…Thanks again for everything!! You guys really prepare your students for the industry..I LOVE YOU GUYS!

In a recent New York Times Op-Ed column, "Schools for Wisdom," David Brooks criticizes Greg Whiteley's documentary "Most Likely to Succeed," which he calls "a bold indictment of the entire K-12 educational system." Although Brooks agrees that there is much wrong with our present system, he thinks Whiteley underemphasizes intellectual virtues, especially wisdom. Of special interest to California readers is Whiteley's favorable highlighting of High Tech High, "a celebrated school in San Diego that was started by San Diego business and tech leaders." This school emphasizes "relational skills future workers will actually need" and "takes an old idea, project-based learning, and updates it in tech clothing."
In the process of criticizing the documentary for underemphasizing intellectual virtues, Brooks presumes that education should aim at developing wise persons, and then asks, "If we want to produce wise people, what are the stages that produce it?" I agree with his presumption, think his question is an important one, and in a previous article quoted favorably E. F. Schumacher (1911-1977), who wrote that "more education can help us only if it produces more wisdom." But what Brooks says about wisdom is inadequate.
Contrast what he writes to the insights of psychologist Robert Sternberg, who has written much on wisdom. Brooks writes, "Wisdom is a hard-earned intuitive awareness of how things will flow. Wisdom is playful. The wise person loves to share, and cajole and guide and wonder at what she doesn't know. The cathedrals of knowledge and wisdom are based on the foundations of factual acquisition and cultural literacy." But Sternberg has observed that wisdom is not only about "knowledge but also how to use that knowledge well." In an article entitled "It's Not What You Know, but How You Use It: Teaching for Wisdom," which first appeared in the Chronicle of Higher Education (2002), the psychologist mentioned the work he and his colleagues at Yale University's Center for the Psychology of Abilities, Competencies, and Expertise were doing. They were attempting to teach "students from roughly age 10 or so to think wisely." And underlying their teaching was "the view that we need to teach students not only knowledge but also how to use that knowledge well."
The basis of their instruction was Sternberg's "balance theory" of wisdom: "People are wise to the extent that they use their intelligence to seek a common good. They do so by balancing, in their courses of action, their own interests with those of others and those of larger entities, like their school, their community, their country, even God. And they balance these interests over the long and the short terms."
Sternberg insisted that his group's goal was 'not to teach values but to help children develop positive values of their own that promote social welfare. We try, he continues, "to give students a framework in which to develop those values—seeing things from others' perspectives as well as one's own, and thinking not just about one's interests but also about a common good. In some ways, our views are in contrast to those of many educational programs, which stress the acquisition of knowledge but not how such knowledge will be used."
Many other commentators on wisdom have also observed that it involves not only the intellect, but the emotions and one's actions. Alan Nordstrom, for example, writing on "Shakespeare's Take on Human Wisdom," observes that "wisdom for Shakespeare has far more to do with the heart than the head. . . . [with] a true and faithful heart, radiant with love, care, and devotion, brimming with compassion and forgiveness."
Wisdom also involves creating a proper hierarchy of values and trying to live by them. In Sternberg's article mentioned above, he writes that "smart and well-educated people" are often unwise because of four fallacies, which he labels the egocentrism, omniscience, omnipotence, and invulnerability fallacies. All four are tied up with too big an ego and with overestimating one's own importance and powers, and they suggest the triumph of egoism over love and associated values like empathy and compassion. Most wisdom scholars emphasize a wide variety of "wisdom values," and I have argued that love, which would include Sternberg's seeking the "common good" and promoting "social welfare," is the most important of these values.
Most of today's discussions about education revolve around such topics as the common core, charter schools, racial gaps, testing, classroom size, or teachers' rights, duties, and pay. Or more specifically about such state-wide developments as the Texas State Board of Education's curriculum standards and mandated textbooks. Universities ask themselves how they can better prepare students to meet today's and tomorrow's business needs.
But what E.F Schumacher observed in the 1970s is still too true today. He wrote then that the education most people received did not give them much help in going beyond "mere training, something more than mere knowledge of facts, and something more than a mere diversion." He criticized what eventually became the dominant aim of higher education—career preparation for work in our modern industrial societies, which were "incessantly stimulating greed, envy, and avarice." He granted that the dominant educational systems might help people obtain jobs that made them richer and able to afford more consumer goods and services—at least for a while. But he also believed that their education was preparing them to live in unhealthy economic systems and societies that were environmentally unsustainable.
The main problem he perceived with modern education was that it had abandoned the incorporation and guidance of traditional wisdom, which helped us answer questions like "What is our purpose in life?" and "What are our ethical obligations?" Today, the question remains, "What should be the primary educational goal: career preparation, aiding students to live a wise life, or some other aim?"

Edinburgh University midfielder Finn Daniels-Yeoman believes tomorrow's derby encounter against Spartans is just the calibre of match the club needs to kickstart their season.
The students have lost five of their opening seven Lowland League fixtures so far, leaving Dorian Ogunro's side in a rather uncomfortable 14th position in the table.
Victory over Whitehill Welfare three weeks ago coupled with a goalless draw with Civil Service Strollers four days later has been the Uni's only saving grace in an otherwise disastrous start.
However, PhD student Daniels-Yeoman believes a positive 90 minutes against their Capital rivals could make all the difference going forward.
"We're excited about this one because we always tend to raise our game against Spartans," the 27-year-old said. "Maybe it's because they always seem to take all of our players! Joking aside they are a top team and they are always there or thereabouts at the business end of the season.
"I think a good result this weekend could really galvanize the team. We had a great result against Whitehill a couple of weeks ago but tomorrow will be the first time the manager will have had virtually a full squad to choose from.
"I think Spartans always underestimate us because most of the time they are above us. By all accounts they played really well last Saturday against Linfield so they'll be in confident mood."
Daniels-Yeoman doesn't believe results so far this season have reflected their performances.
"We've just not really got going yet," he explained. "It's always the same at this time of year as we never have a full squad available with others away on holiday and being unavailable out of term time. But as I said, we've got players coming back now so that should make a big difference.
"I don't think anyone could question the commitment of the team so far, that has always been there but we've just not had the breaks."
Spartans' David Greenhill, meanwhile, says that although he and his team-mates loved every second of their Irn-Bru Challenge Cup tie with Northern Ireland champions Linfield six days ago, he admits everyone in the dressing-room would happily swap the whole experience for three points at Peffermill tomorrow.
"I think we did really well last week and were a wee bit unlucky not to take the tie into extra time," the 32-year-old midfielder said. "It was a really enjoyable experience for everyone connected with the club.
"But it's a far bigger game for us tomorrow. When you play that level of opposition like we did last week, you always tend to struggle in the game that follows. We can't allow for that to happen.
"Our main aim this year, as it is every season, is to win the league so we need points. We would have happily swapped last weekend's game for three points tomorrow make no mistake about it.
"Edinburgh Uni always make it difficult for us. There's always that wee bit of rivalry given Dougie [Samuel] was manager there for a few years before joining us so we're expecting more of the same again. We just need to turn up and make sure we give a good account of ourselves."
Elsewhere, Whitehill travel to Netherdale to play hosts Gala Fairydean Rovers also in desperate need of league points. The Rosewell club have picked up just four points from a possible 21 and manager Gary Small has acknowledged his players must start to turn things around if they are to avoid becoming detached at the bottom end of the table.
Meanwhile, following last weekend's 2-1 triumph at Whitehill, Civil Service Strollers host Dalbeattie Star at Christie Gillies Park.
Alex Cunningham's men have taken eight points so far.

4 Reasons to be Optimistic About Mandatory Minimums
Release Date
July 1, 2014
Mandatory minimum sentencing laws have sentenced people to jail for decades, sometimes for doing something as simple as selling pot a few times. Is there any reason to be hopeful that things could change? Alex Kreit, professor at the Thomas Jefferson School of Law, tells of four recent contributions to the reform of mandatory-minimum drug sentencing laws.
Attorney General Eric Holder issued new guidelines on how federal prosecutors enforce drug laws. President Obama himself granted clemency for several drug offenders sentenced under mandatory minimum laws.
Meanwhile, Senators Cory Booker and Rand Paul joined forces to advocate reform. Bipartisan action is rare, which makes this all the more impressive.
There are several organizations joining the fight against these laws as well. A group called Families Against Mandatory Minimums is leading the battle against unjust sentencing under these laws.
Are there reasons for optimism? Professor Kreit believes so, and you should too.

I like the fact that we call the facts the facts here. I like that there isn't any name calling and all of that. I do feel however that the piano is a little much, but hey whatever makes the video work.
What a great video and such a good step in the right direction.
A step in the right direction, when motive to take the right decision is above political interests or partisan politics, then we as a nation can make progress.
I'm glad there are some people in the Federal Government that are taking some steps towards alleviating the drug war atrocity. I didn't realize that President Obama had pardoned some individuals. Good for him.
Mandatory minimums would be fine as long as the minimum is a penny fine.
