Over the last few years, we have moved on from the early-years conservatorship mindset, which was characterized by us being hesitant to make decisions, by waiting for the government to tell us what to do, or waiting for "imminent" legislation. Now we are a more aggressive company, customer-focused and better at execution than ever before.
We're firmly facing the future, not the past. And we're very much working not only to have a better company but also a better housing finance system for all.
First, take our mission from our Charter to help families by being a great secondary market participant in the U.S. mortgage markets dedicated to the "liquidity, stability and affordability" of those markets. And being innovative in doing it – to benefit those families, whether homeowners or renters.
Let me focus on the "affordability" clause to show you how we're a better company today. In the past, our "affordability" mission was focused mainly on meeting the narrowly-defined affordable goals set by the government. Now, we view the "affordability" clause in our Charter very broadly, in fact as a "community mission". This covers classic affordability as well as other things like broad access to credit, foreclosure alternatives (which hardly existed pre-2008), and other community-focused priorities.
For example, Freddie historically was very conservative as a general matter in its operations, and had no over-95 percent LTV product since 2011. Now we have a 97 percent LTV product, for example, but it has been done right – i.e., responsibly and with acceptable credit quality. Although we're playing catch-up in a field we did not prioritize previously, we've done thousands of these loans, more than we expected.
Another example of our commitment to this Community Mission is a brand-new partnership with Quicken Loans, announced this week, to jointly develop products specifically aimed at the housing needs of low- to moderate-income borrowers, first-time homebuyers, and millennials.
In Multifamily, where our focus is on "workforce" housing, we have more than doubled our loans on projects in markets FHFA defines as "underserved" – going from $3 billion last year to an estimated $7 billion this year. That's big dollars and big momentum.
Expect to see more innovation from us across the entire spectrum of community mission activities.
Now let me focus on our customers. As an outside hire to Freddie Mac as CEO, I come with decades of experience in knock-down, drag-out competition in the banking world. It was very far removed from the genteel competition I found in the GSE duopoly.
Today, head of Single-Family Business Dave Lowman and his team have dramatically increased our competitiveness. For example, we have an annual customer satisfaction survey that primarily measures service quality. In 2013, the overall score put on our competitiveness by our outside survey vendor was 43 using their index – way, way under what the best companies deliver. But after all of the changes we've made – big and small – our latest survey shows us at a 78 score, which is getting us just into the range of the best-run financial institutions. Our target is to get the top of the range of best financial institutions.
Here's a different example of our increasing focus on customers. Before 2008, Freddie had an unduly strong focus on a small number of large lenders. Only about 16 percent of our single-family volume came from the lenders outside the top 10.
We rolled up our sleeves and began to focus on middle-sized and smaller customers. We added salespeople and newer service models because one size does not fit all. Today, aided of course by market trends favoring smaller lenders, we've tripled that 16 percent to about 50 percent! That's a big move.
We're also well on our way to delivering a string of enhanced technology capabilities over the next few years. The whole thrust of our "Loan Advisor Suite" of tools, just announced this week, is to give customers greater certainty and confidence that the loans they make are eligible for sale to us, and hopefully a way to lower costs and encourage fuller usage of our credit box. We are developing these technologies with key customers that are working with us to ensure they are really, truly user focused and friendly!
Our third major focus as a company is on making the system better for the U.S. taxpayer. We treat the taxpayer exposure to us with great respect. The direction from the government is very clear – reduce the taxpayer's exposure to mortgage risk. We took that direction to heart and are aggressively leading the field in credit risk transfer.
For Freddie Mac, credit risk transfer is not a "pilot' anymore. It is integrated into our entire business model. In Multifamily, over 90 percent of our dollar volume has all but catastrophic risk sold off to investors. Depending upon how you measure it, in Single-Family, we are selling off in the range of 2/3 or 3/4 of the non-catastrophic risk. Single-family risk transfer was zero a few years ago by comparison. Now it's a fast-moving field. The instruments we use are growing and evolving. We're also doing this with sound economics. It's very exciting.
All in all, I think we've accomplished more positive change and development in the last few years than in perhaps the last decade or more at Freddie Mac. But we're not resting on our laurels. We're laser-focused on getting better as a company and aggressively improving ourselves. And, with FHFA taking the lead, on making the entire housing finance system better.

Today's announcement comes one day after Palm licensee Handspring confirmed that by the end of the year it will release the VisorPhone, an add-on cartridge that turns its Visor personal digital assistant (PDA) into a cell phone.
High-end phones such as Kyocera's are being dubbed smart phones because they offer wireless Internet access and some organizing features already found on PDAs.
The deal between Japan's Kyocera and Palm is essentially an extension of an earlier partnership Palm struck with Qualcomm. Last year, Qualcomm sold its handset business to Kyocera. That included the pdQ, the hybrid PDA-cell phone jointly developed by Qualcomm and Palm.
By the end of the year, Kyocera plans to release its Palm Powered cell phones that run on the Palm operating system. Kyocera will continue to make the pdQ phone originally developed by Qualcomm.
Although Palm's OS is associated with PDAs, it can also be used to run other devices such as cell phones.
Recognizing that there is a finite audience for its core business of PDAs, Palm has revamped itself in the past year to beef up its wireless Internet service and partnerships. The handheld maker has focused on licensing its operating system to cell phone makers, such as Nokia, and other device makers, such as Sony and Handspring.
Neither Nokia nor Motorola, another Palm licensee, has released any product based on Palm's operating system yet.
Many analysts believe that during the next several years, cell phones will increasingly take on the features of handheld computers, and the line between the two products will blur. Already, most cell phones offer limited address book and calendar functions.
Handspring's new product, for example, will integrate these applications even further, allowing VisorPhone users to call people directly from their PDA address books. Although not designed specifically for Internet access, the VisorPhone will also have the capabilities of a wireless modem and will allow Visor users to surf the Web.
"Both Palm and (Handspring) appear to be moving aggressively into the converged voice and data arena," William Crawford, an analyst with Merrill Lynch, said in a report today.
"We think both Palm and (Handspring's) announcements show that data companies can quickly add voice, particularly with respect to (Handspring's) announcement, faster than the voice companies have added data so far."
Still, high-end cell phones that include PDA features and wireless Internet access appeal only to a niche market so far, according to International Data Corp. About 1 million of these smart phones shipped in 1999, according to IDC, although that figure is expected to grow to 10 million units in 2003.
"Although this agreement represents a transfer of the original Qualcomm licensing agreement with Palm, we think this is a positive for Palm, as the Palm platform continues to gain momentum," Morgan Stanley analyst Gillian Munson said in a note to investors today.
"At the same time, we believe it is important to remember that the smart phone market is a young market and remains at the high echelon of the mobile phone market," she added.
With its Palm VII line of products, Palm has been at the forefront of offering wireless Internet access, although the devices have been criticized for slow connections and an unwieldy interface. Handhelds from Casio, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq Computer, based on Microsoft's Pocket PC operating system, offer some wireless access through add-on products.
Palm reports third-quarter earnings next Monday. Merrill Lynch's Munson expects quarterly revenue of $385 million.

Warehouse find - Last few copies!
Artist: Psyence
Title: Zebra b/w I often ponder
Label: The Sound of Salvation
Catalogue no: SOUND 003
Format: 7" (Limited edition of 250 on Zebra coloured vinyl)
"One of the youngest bands to feature on the Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia line up, Stoke quintet Psyence combine the melodic sensibilities of Tame Impala with the rhythmic thud of 'Exterminator'-era Primal Scream and classic Can along with the bludgeoning blues riffs of The Dead Weather. Psyence construct tracks from rehearsal room jams based around colossal bass/synth motifs." The Quietus
Psyence released their debut single Zebra through The Sound of Salvation to coincide with their appearance at the Liverpool International Festival of Psychedelia.
Their powerful live performances effortlessly hark back to the '60s psychedelic rock wellspring and to an entirely original adolescent search for something far beyond the tame 'sponsored-alternative' current music scene.
Zebra and I Often Ponder showcase a band already confident far beyond their short lifespan in creating fully realised psychedelic anthems that are burnt firmly into the brain whilst handily frying it at the same time. Pye/Walsh/Comley/Bellingham/Nixon represent a departure from the dreary English guitar bands of the last few years and, equally, a thrilling reminder of the power of music to free your mind.

About The Nutcracker And The Four Realms
All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key. That key promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.
Starring Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Disney's new holiday feature film "The Nutcracker and the Four Realms" is directed by Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston, and inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann's classic tale.

It seems like much more than a month ago that we got three feet of snow and all our favorite trails were completely buried. It was truly only a month, though, and now it smacks of spring more than winter. The dogs were as happy as they've ever been to be out on a trail. They love snow, but they also love the panoply of smells and mud puddles that come with spring.
This may turn out to have been the last day that there was any snow in the woods. The banks left by plows may linger for a week or two more, but in the woods, there are only traces where dells shade the ground for most of the daylight hours. And so the year marches on.

To continue with the Arbuckle saga, the parental units were going horseback riding. Well, mom was going. And dad's mom. But not dad.
Here's mom on her horse.
They had to ride a long way to the pond they were heading to. Besides horses, there were golf-cart-riders and a walker.
This is how I would have been riding. Safely and comfortably in a cart.
This is the pond they rode to. It had a bunch of boats, but only the kids went swimming and boating.
After enjoying a few adult beverages, everybody headed back to the barn. Then it was time to head back to Lotus, where more packing was waiting.

Allow me to introduce you to, Gary Lamb.

Gary is an outstanding writer, and has great content. His blog is one of those that I look forward to reading daily. Here is what Gary wrote me:
"I read your blog and got to where it was one of the first things I did during the day. I had never even heard of a blog and someone sent me your link since I am a Fellowship fan. I dug it and started reading others, then started doing it myself.
So you are to blame for my latest craze that drives my wife crazy."
Gary, please apologize to your wife for me! I hope that you all enjoy Gary's blog as much as I do. Next week Gary is going to bring 'What's Working" back, and tell us more about Ridge Stone Church.

Every medical student is taught early in his or her training the Latin phrase Primum non nocere, "first, do no harm." For physicians this means preventing harm and providing safe care, and this must be the first order of business.
As a physician, I have spent much of my life focused on providing safe care. Whether it has been through my work as a surgeon, teaching surgery to young physicians, or as a healthcare administrator and CEO, healthcare safety has always been a passion of mine. I have also seen the same shared passion and conviction to provide safe care among my many physician colleagues and I most definitely see it among our employees at the CMPA.
Whenever I speak on behalf of the CMPA, in defence of our commitment to protect our members, I reiterate: "I have yet to meet a physician who wakes up in the morning with the intention of doing harm." As every physician knows, our healthcare system relies on a delicate set of interdependencies within a system of care that is complex, stressed, and ever-changing. Within this system, I believe that physicians share a conviction to prevent harm and to provide the best care possible.
As CEO of the Canadian Medical Protective Association, I am personally committed to supporting patient safety by advancing a multi-pronged approach in the prevention of harm from medical care. I truly believe that we can make the Canadian healthcare system safer by focusing our efforts and by first "doing no harm." The CMPA's new 2015–2019 Strategic Plan channels increased effort into our goal of supporting the safest possible healthcare system, and we intend to do so in collaboration with our members and other healthcare stakeholders.
This 2015 special edition of Perspective focuses on healthcare safety. The articles provide a thought-provoking blend of topics and tackle some of the key safety challenges faced by healthcare providers. It features articles on identifying safety risks at both the system and individual levels and explores why a culture of safety matters. It reviews the role of providers in safe healthcare delivery and examines how we can effect change to advance safety.
I hope this edition provides you with valuable tips and lessons learned that will support you in your continued commitment to deliver safe, quality care to your patients.
Yours in safety,
Hartley Stern, MD, FRCSC, FACS

National Tour
Seen in Atlanta, Georgia, June 25, 2008
Eddie Izzard was in town this week with his latest one-man show and destroyed a packed house of people. It's obvious Atlanta was happy to see him because the house blew up when he walked out. And he played two dates here and I'm sure the house the previous night was packed as well. He started off by musing on the name of our fair sprawling urban center. Named for the ocean that he had to cross to get here, he said, then wondered why we're so far away from it if that's the case. And it continued for close to two hours—if you've seen Izzard's stand-up shows previously on DVD, then you know what it's like. But I'm glad it didn't go any longer, because trying to keep up is fairly exhausting.
The man's mad. Like Billy Connolly, he, as Jane Wagner might say, has the brain of a hummingbird. They can both wind up anywhere, but Izzard seems to, more often than not, be talking about God and Jesus chatting in Heaven or the diary of one of the giant squid that must have been on Noah's Ark. You see, Noah had told his wife Margaret to put one in the bathroom downstairs and lash the other one to the roof. Or you could find Moses descending the mountain with rules he had gleaned from squirrels. And then when a question came up about the wives of Henry VIII, Izzard whipped out his phone to look it up on Wikipedia.
The whole thing is "tightly scripted," he says, but I get the impression that he has an outline about what he wants to cover for the show and leaves himself the option of ignoring it at will. This is confirmed from reading other reviews of the show, where they all reference bits that I saw as well. And yes, him discussing why he's an atheist has been covered before, like with Jesus preaching to dinosaurs, but while he's covering familiar ground here, it's not the exact same material—and most importantly, it's still funny as hell. How many other people can talk about shooting someone in the head with a tiger? Answer: not many.[fusion_builder_container hundred_percent="yes" overflow="visible"][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type="1_1″ background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3″ animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none"][ad#shortpost]

The Decanter Fine Wine Encounter featured one single producer from their own country, Ridgeview from Sussex, which is a sparkling wine producer, the style of wine that England seems to have had most success with. "Just as rainy and dreary weather as in Champagne, and the white cliffs of Dovers clearly show that there are chalky soils" or whatever :-). In any case, Ridgeview is apparently one of the more well-known (together with e.g. Nyetimber) among an increasing number of English sparkling wine producers, because in 2010 they performed well in competition with some Champagnes at the Decanter World Wine Awards, and in 2011 their wine was served to Obama at a Buckingham Palace dinner.
Ridgeview planted their first vineyards in 1994, have 12 ha of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and also buys grapes from other growers in southeastern England.
Bloomsbury 2009
Chardonnay-dominated but also has Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier in the blend. £ 22,95 in their online shop.
Nose: fruity, slightly flowery, apple, slightly spicy
Palate: fruity, slightly sweetish impression, good acidity with some "fizzy tablet feeling", slightly coarse taste. Aftertaste with a fruity fizzy tablet. 80 p
Cavendish 2010
Dominated by Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, but also has Chardonnay in the blend. £ 22,95 in their online shop.
Nose: fruity, apple, white and red currants, slightly sweetish impression
Palate: fruity, apple, citrus, slightly spicy, good acidity. Better balance and "lift" than Bloomsbury. 82 p.
Fitzrovia Rosé 2010
Chardonnay-dominated, produced by the assemblage method with red Pinot wine (probably both Noir and Meunier). £ 23,95 in their online shop.
Nose:wild strawberries, slightly smoky, red apple and apple peel
Palate: fruity with red berries, but with a somewhat strange note in the fruit – gave an impression that it partially consisted of canned fruit, spicy, good acidity. 80 p.
Marksman Blanc de Blancs 2009
100% Chardonnay. £ 24,95 in their online shop.
Nose: apple with some apple compote impression, citrus, some mineral, nuanced
Palate: fruity, apple, good acidity, slightly spicy. The palate is not as good as the nose. 83 p.
South Ridge Blanc de Noirs 2009
Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier. £ 24,95 in their online shop.
Nose: red apples, currants of mixed colour, slightly aromatic, rather spicy, nuanced
Palate: red apples, rather spicy, mineral, high acidity, slight biterness, some coarse feeling. Aftertaste with mineral and apple. 85 p.
If I should try to summarise my impressions of these five wines, I'd say that I didn't find them completely Champagne-like. All of them come across as somewhat fruity or with sweetness of fruit, and have a certain coarseness on the palate. If a Champagne had this character, I'd have guessed it came from a proportion of bad grapes, or that they had blended in too much of la taille, the second pressing. I also notice that I was a little more fond of the Pinot-dominated wines than those that are Chardonnay-dominated. It wouldn't be surprising if classical grapes from such a northernly location showed very high acidity, but this was not something that I could note in the finished wine.
Although these sparkling wines are quite OK, the prices are rather high in relation to the qualit. I would definitely recommend anyone at all interested in sparkling wines to try a bottle or two of English sparkling, but they are probably going to find it difficult to export significant quantities at the current price and quality levels, but perhaps they don't have that ambition. Considering that English sparkling wine has been produced a rather short time, it seems reasonable to believe that quality will continue to develop. By the way, I found it a little odd that there was so little price difference between the wines, despite a certain quality difference.

Were you aware that credit reporting agencies (Equifax, Experian and Trans Union) have assigned you a score which reflects the likelihood that you will pay a delinquent bill? This collection score 1 helps bill collectors decide where to focus their collection efforts.
Credit reporting agencies also offer "bankruptcy risk scores" which offer credit grantors a numerical rating score to determine whether a customer or potential customer is more or less likely to file bankruptcy.
Financial data that may be buried in credit applications or public records can now be analyzed instantly by computer and reduced to a simple score 2 [Read more…]
- The collection score product is described in more detail here, in a brochure published by the Fair Isaac Company, the organization that also provides credit scoring algorithms for the credit reporting agencies. ↩

Starting next month, no one younger than 21 will be allowed to buy a semi-automatic centerfire rifle from any of Sunnyvale's five gun shops.
In the wake of school shootings around the nation, the City Council this week unanimously decided to raise the minimum age for buying guns from 18 to 21, making Sunnyvale the first city in Santa Clara County to do so.
Mayor Glenn Hendricks said the council's action wasn't spurred by fear that gun violence could roil the city as much as it was by an opportunity to take a stance he'd rather see the state adopt.
"I believe that this is a correction to the gap that exists in California's already very strict gun laws," he said. "In absence of that, we will step in and do what we need to do to help protect our residents."
Several gun control measures have already been introduced by lawmakers this year and are awaiting hearings. State Sen. Anthony Portantino, for example, is pushing a bill that would not only raise the minimum age for firearms purchases but would also ban anyone from buying more than one gun in 30 days.
Meanwhile, the state already has a 10-day waiting period for all firearm purchases, transfers and private sales, and it enforces background checks for private sales.
Hendricks acknowledged Sunnyvale is a safe city, a point underscored by city spokeswoman Jennifer Garnett, who noted that of the 28 reported aggravated assaults that took place between April and June, only two involved the use of a firearm.
Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California, said he thinks the city is opening itself up to a lawsuit. He said Sunnyvale's ordinance, which would go into effect in mid-September following its official adoption on Aug. 14, is unlawful under state and federal law.
"They're insincere and inconsistent in trying to address the deaths of young people," Paredes said. "This is not going to stop any school violence; what this is going to go after is youth trap and skeet shooting teams."
He said the ordinance discriminates against law-abiding citizens, including off-duty military, although active-duty military and law enforcement officers would be exempted.
Hendricks said he came up with the proposal after a 19-year-old armed with an AR-15 rifle killed 17 people in Parkland, Florida on Feb. 14.
"No single one rule or law is going to deal with and address all violence that goes on in America," he said. "We're trying to prevent something from happening and we hope the state is able to move forward with a similar type of action."

WINAICO solar panels… I remember the first time I heard of this panel. No one had heard of it. Of course I know better than to think that would mean they're a bad panel. In fact the truth is quite the opposite. WINAICO solar panels are a "tier 1" panel. What does this mean? Not a whole lot in terms of the quality and reliability of the panel. But it means that finance companies are more likely to back them.
WINAICO are a fantastic solar panel! Extremely under-rated? Yes… but they are fantastic. WINAICO solar panels are made by "Win Win Precision Technology" in Taiwan. WWPT is a semiconductor company which seized the opportunity to be a market leader in PV (solar). They make an extremely good solar panel.
Why would you get WINAICO solar panels?
There are loads of good selling points that WINAICO panels have which you just can't get from most others. Here are a few reasons that WINAICO stand out from the crowd:
- WIN WIN PRECISION (WINAICO) have placed high in all Photon tests (around the 23 mark)
- You get an "all-risk" insurance policy with all WINAICO panels
- These panels have performed extremely well in Australia's Desert Knowledge tests – this has shown that these panels are as much as 12% more efficient than other panels (in Aus conditions)
They are an awesome panel and clearly put a lot of effort into their products.
Why wouldn't you get buy WINAICO?
WINAICO is not a company most people have heard of. They aren't new to the game but not as old as some. As far as panel quality goes you can't get much better… So what's not to love?
- They are not cheap! You could pay as much as $2,000 more for a 5kW system.
- Strictly speaking they are made in Taiwan. If you have an issue with that then maybe it's not so great.
Nothing much else is wrong with WINAICO. They are on top of the game in performance and quality. They have cutting edge panels. WINAICO are always looking at the next step in solar power.
WINAICO Solar Panels Review – So how good are WINAICO panels?
WINAICO make a really good solar panel. They are up there with the likes or REC, SERAPHIM and other top solar panels. Are they worth the extra dollars? Well quite frankly, the price is a little high for most in the market. But for people wanting a premium system where money isn't a huge barrier, WINAICO is the ticket.

FEATURE: Dissecting the 2018 Tour de France routeFri 20 Oct 2017
Cobbles, dirt roads, mountain top finishes and the return of the team time trial and intermediate bonus seconds all form a part of the 2018 Tour de France route announced this week in Paris and the 2017 white jersey winner Simon Yates was there for ORICA-SCOTT.
The 105th edition of the 'Grand Boucle' promises to be one of the most dynamic in recent years and also one of the shortest. Starting in the Vendee region for the first time in eleven years and covering 3329kilometres with a race deciding individual time trial over rolling terrain in the French Basque country on the penultimate stage.
The first nine stages are billed as for the sprinters and the puncheurs as the race traverses the Atlantic coastline of Northern France with the team time trial making a return to the race on stage three for the first time since 2015.
A potentially iconic cobbled stage nine from Arras to Roubaix bringing to a close the flatter stages and paving the way for a stage ten start in Annecy and the beginning of the high mountain tests.
Three tough days in the Alps come to an end with a historic finish atop the legendary Alpe d'Huez before the curtain is brought down with four days of suffering in the brutal Pyrenees with the only respite coming on stage 18 into Pau and a last chance for the sprinters before Paris.
"It's a testing route, as always," said Yates. "I think that the first week could be decisive for the general classification and that's before we even get into the mountains, a lot can happen on those open roads especially if the wind takes hold. Personally I would prefer the climbs to arrive earlier."
At 25-years of age and with five Grand Tours in his legs Yates is no longer wondering what it's all about and after a seventh-place finish in 2017 and the addition of another white jersey for the family collection the Briton is under no illusions of the challenges that lie in wait for those who line up come next July.
"It goes without saying that to do well at the Tour you need a strong team," continued Yates. "Not only in the team time trial, but throughout the entire race so that you can protect the leader from the wind and any dangerous moments."
"We have a really solid history when it comes to team time trials and I'm really confident regarding that pursuit, ORICA-SCOTT has one of the strongest teams on paper for that. Even if we only bring a few of our main guys for the TTT we are still going to be up there and challenging for a result."
Head Sport director Matt White spoke of the dynamism of the route and the chances of an eventful first week of racing.
"It's a real race of two halves this time around," said White. "With one of the most dynamic openers to a Tour de France that I've ever seen which will guarantee a very stressful first week."
"With the majority of early stages on the coast and the possibility of strong winds it will be an action packed opening few days. Especially with the vast majority of opportunities for sprinters coming early on the pressure will be incredibly tense.
"When you throw in a solid team time trial on stage three and an epic cobbled stage on stage nine there will be enough drama before we even get into the mountains.
"I like the course, it has a bit of everything and as ever it will be really exciting, racing I am happy with the characteristics of the route. I am sure we have a group of riders who will be up for the challenge come July."
ORICA-SCOTT will await the Giro d'Italia route reveal before making final decisions on goals and leaders at the three Grand Tours in 2018.

`Mother nature' is the greatest creative Artist and I love to document her creations with my camera. I believe there are great photographs waiting to be found everywhere, every time, but they are almost never to be found easily. It takes vision of an artist, along with the tenacity of a hunter to find a great photograph in nature. As an artist, I work hard to click photographs that speak both to me and to others about the beauty that exists in nature.
I seek the unknown and i look for simplicity in complexity, light within the shadows and uncommon in common. The not so obvious stories of nature interest me most. I love my photographs to give a feel of looking at things we normally see but do not perceive. We are the stories we tell, I hope you enjoy mine.
I am professional photographer of a different kind (Radiologist). The grueling medical practice burned me out and the frustration of being misfit in a highly demanding medical field was killing me. But as it is said when there's a will, there's a way; thanks to my son's keen interest in wildlife and his love for birds which led me to clicking photos mainly for identification, which later turned into an obsession for me and under the guidance of a great teacher, nurtured into a passionate hobby.
I love being out in the wild, it elevates me into the state of trance. I got to visit a lot of places which I never thought of visiting before from the thick forests of the Himalayan foothills, national parks across the country, the cold desert of Ladakh, to the beautiful and serene Canadian Rockies and many more locations which would not have been possible if not for this hobby of mine. I am a weekend warrior due to the professional commitments and I like to click almost anything. Although apart from nature and travel, I really haven't tried other genres of photography. In future I would love to spend more of my time after my passion and visit all the wildlife hot spots across the planet.

Walk The Moon - House of Blues - 02.08.18
Walk The Moon
San Diego, CA – 02.08.18
Photos by Erika Garcia
Walk the Moon came back stronger than ever with their latest album release What If Nothing in 2017. The album itself centers on raw feelings of emotion and organically shows the growth of each of their individuals.
Known for their biggest hit "Shut Up and Dance" the Ohio-based group has earned plenty of nominations and even won for Top Rock Song on the Billboard Music Awards.
In 2016, the band was forced to cancel their "Work This Body" tour due to a series of events in their personal lives. After a whole year of self-exploring and setting down roots, they headed on a series of consecutive shows in South America before their latest release.
Their ongoing tour, "Press Restart", is their comeback to the scene after their hiatus and has kept them busy with sold out shows and even wilder crowds. Its name, as well as their album, its all about new beginnings. Through their music, they portrait a new vision and honesty that rumbles in their words and most of all of how necessary is to go back and reemerge as a new whole.
Frontman Nicholas Petricca's energy on the stage is unrecognizable and contagious. From start to finish the crowd, with painted faces and huge smiles, danced and sang at the top of their lungs.
During their set, the band surprised everyone with a snippet of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" in between the solo of their song "Headphones" that happened so fast you could almost miss it.
The show's intimate atmosphere helped the band connect with the fans in the best way possible. It created an almost never-ending-party-like feeling. It showed that Walk the Moon is here for the long run.

4 Steps to Evaluate Your Training and Development Programs
Unless you know if your training and development programs are having an impact on your employees' productivity and effectiveness, you are wasting your time and money.
One of the best known and influential models for training and development evaluation was developed by Donald Kirkpatrick, Professor Emeritus of the University of Wisconsin and a past president of the American Society for Training and Development.
His model is based on four interconnected levels. The first two levels of learning are how companies measure the success of their training and development investment, while levels three and four require detailed goals and actions. Don't fall into the trap of many companies that never move to levels three and four due to the time commitment required to adequately measure and manage the programs.
First Level: Reaction
Reaction measures whether your employees enjoyed and found value in the program, which can be discovered with a simple survey following the program.
Second Level: Learning
Conduct pre- and post-program testing to determine whether or not your employees acquired new knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes.
Third Level: Behavior
After 3-6 months, you can measure learning retention and job transferability to determine your employees applied their new knowledge, skills, and/or attitudes to their job, role, and goals of their department and the company.
Fourth Level: Measuring Business Results
Measuring business results depends on completing level three before looking at improved results through an entire team or department.
A great example of how this works in the real world is a development/training program that focuses on improving your team. A successful program should be set up with specific measurable results before the program is implemented. There are many ways leadership of a team and/or team growth can be measured. A team that is constantly complaining about their leader and then not having complaints for a month or more is a sure sign of leadership improvement. A leader changing the way he/she approaches discipline with their staff and/or praise leads to many positive results in a company's bottom line. ROI for the company through developing the people!

When ...I had a very cool introduction to this book. When I was 13 in 1962, my family moved to Gardena from Compton just before I started at Junipero Serra High School. I had a strong interest in science fiction by then and picked up a copy of I Am Legend. Imagine how I felt when I read the passage where he turns off of Compton Blvd (now Marine Ave) onto Cimarron, sees the vampires at his house, drives through them and continues around the corner a short block to Haas and then right again on 152nd to Cimarron. Our house was right at the corner of Haas and 152nd. Now, this was 8 years after he wrote it, so I don't know if he was still there, but there's no question that his house must have been just a block over, Cimarron between 152nd and 154th. It was a real kick at the time.daddyoyohttps://firstname.lastname@example.com
