Yale law professor Amy Chua's memoir, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother has stirred up a lot of controversy to put it mildly. It has been all over the media, particularly in a recent Wall Street Journal article that included an excerpt from the book. I downloaded it from my library's Kindle e-book selection because I was curious about the book itself. Despite disagreeing with the way Chua raised her girls on a personal level, I really enjoyed reading it.
In the Afterward section of the book, Chua wrote that Battle Hymn was meant to be a parody of herself. Her writing style and humorous take on the way she interacted with her daughters was what really sucked me in.
The term "tiger mother" refers to the extremely strict way of raising kids. In general children of tiger mothers, or tiger dads for that matter, are not allowed to do anything social that would interfere with their educational pursuits.
Anything below an "A" or anything less than first place in a competition is not tolerated. Chua's daughters bore the brunt of her extreme parenting through their music. Her oldest plays the piano, and her youngest played the violin. Each daughter reacts in completely different ways. In fact, Chua's youngest daughter was very instrumental in getting Chua to take a fresh look at the way she handled things. She may be stubborn, but her daughter is very much her equal.
The only major aspect of the book that I didn't like was the constant black and white comparisons between Chinese and Western styles of parenting. However, Chua did mention that her references to these were meant to be "loose" ones. They were a bit one sided, and every parenting style is unique. Both strict and lenient styles have their own pluses and minuses.
As expected the reviews are all across the board. Whether you love it or hate it, Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother is great for a debate or discussion.
"Much criticism is out in the media about how this book focuses on a type of parenting that should definitely not be used for today's children, and that is exactly not what the book is trying to convey. The book is about a mother understanding her own demanding values for her daughters and of them trying to find themselves throughout to where it works out in the end. I do believe that for those that criticize the book are the ones that have not read it entirely or seem to read incomplete excerpts. "

If you didn't grow up around the great lakes, you may not be familiar with the fabulous fish know as the "walleye." It's so highly regarded around Lake Erie that the locals honor it with an annual "Walleye Drop" every New Year's Eve. (By the way, neither of the fish that my children are holding are actually walleye.) In case you are wondering what a walleye looks like, this is a walleye pillow that we actually have in our house - please don't ask me why.
Walleye can be quite elusive and hard to catch but if you manage to get one, you're in for a real treat. During our vacation at the lake this summer, Ben, my dad and my son all caught walleye and we completely forgot to take a picture of them. (Sorry)
I did, however get a picture of the fish cleaning.
Once the walleye were fileted, my mom packed it up in Ziploc bags and put it in the freezer. When we got ready to leave the lake to come home, we put our frozen walleye filets in a cooler to transport them back to Georgia. They were about halfway defrosted after our 14 hour trip south so I put them in the refrigerator overnight.
Ben and the kids were looking forward to fried walleye filets and I was more excited about a baked version - so I made both.
Directions for Fried Walleye
Pat the filets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt.
Prepare 3 bowls for breading. One with flour, one with a beaten egg and another with panko bread crumbs.
Dip each filet into flour.
Dip in beaten egg.
Coat with panko bread crumbs.
Pour canola oil into the bottom of a non stick skillet and heat to simmering. Add filets and cook ntil browned on bottom.
Turn and finish cooking until flaky inside.
I served the walleye with roasted sweet potato wedges and a yeast roll. When I started to take pictures of the plate, I realized that the entire meal was the same color - usually something that I try and avoid. Regardless of the monochromatic color scheme - it was delicious.
Directions for Baked Walleye
Pour a small amount of salsa into a baking dish. Place salted fish on top and bake at 400 until light and flaky.
To serve this fish, I like to move the filet to my dinner plate and then spoon the salsa on top of the fish.
This recipe works with just about any kind of fish and any kind of salsa. It's super simple and really good - especially with freshly caught walleye from Lake Erie.

I have two more cross cards I made using the Fleur de lis cross cut file that I used in my last post. (you can get the free file in that post)
I also used the new Reverence embossing folder from Spellbinders. (I just love it)
The top card has Guilders's Paste rubbed over the raised areas using navy cardstock.
The bottom card was made with light blue cardstock and inked direct to paper with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.
I love the different looks using the same tools.

The Social Security Administration's acting commissioner had no authority to act after mid-November because the agency is in violation of a federal law regarding vacant positions, according to a report to the president.
In a letter to President Trump Tuesday, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) said the Federal Vacancies Reform Act limits the time a position can be filled by an acting official.
"Specifically, we are reporting that the service of Nancy A. Berryhill as Acting Commissioner at SSA after November 17, 2017, is in violation of the Act," the letter said.
"We have previously determined that using the acting title of a position during the period in which the position should be vacant violates the time limitations in the Vacancies Reform Act," GAO wrote. "Therefore Ms. Berryhill was not authorized to continue serving using the title of Acting Commissioner after November 16."
Rep. Sam Johnson (R-Texas), chairman of the House Ways and Means Social Security subcommittee, called on Trump to nominate a commissioner soon.
"This just reinforces what we already know: Social Security has gone without a Senate-confirmed commissioner for far too long. This is simply unacceptable," he said in a statement. "The president needs to nominate a Social Security commissioner now. The American people deserve nothing less."

Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary school
|Lorin Warnick
Academic staff
|Ithaca, New York, U.S.
The New York State College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell University was founded in 1894. It was the first statutory college in New York, and is affiliated with the State University of New York (SUNY) system. Before the creation of the college, instruction in veterinary medicine had been part of Cornell's curriculum since the university's founding. In 1868, when Cornell opened, there was little formal study of veterinary medicine in the United States; with the creation of the veterinary school, Cornell became a pioneer in the field.
Cornell co-founder Ezra Cornell requested the creation of a chair of veterinary medicine. Cornell's other co-founder and first president, Andrew Dickson White, was asked by Ezra Cornell to find the best-qualified person to teach veterinary-related courses at the university. Dr. James Law, from the Edinburgh Veterinary College in Scotland, was chosen for this role. Under pressure from Dr. Law, Cornell set unprecedented standards for veterinary degrees: four years' study for a bachelor's degree in the field, and two years' additional study for a doctoral degree in the field. (Later, when New York State finally established Cornell's Veterinary College, a high school diploma would be required to be admitted to it, which was a high requirement for the time). The first D.V.M. degree from Cornell was awarded in 1876 to Daniel Elmer Salmon, a man who went on to become the founding head of the U.S. Bureau of Animal Industry. He is also noted for initiating the fight against contagious diseases. The school was also a pioneer in educating female veterinarians.

State legislation creating Cornell's Veterinary College[3] was signed on March 21, 1894 by former New York Governor Roswell P. Flower, a man who had become convinced of the value of veterinary medicine to the health of people by virtue of prior personal farm experience. The enabling legislation creating the college also provided state funds for a veterinary building at Cornell. The building opened in the fall of 1896.[4] The state funded a new veterinary complex for Cornell and the college in 1957 on the east edge of the campus. Today, this complex is the largest veterinary complex in higher education in the United States.[5]
Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine is one of the few veterinary schools in the Northeastern United States and one of 28 such colleges and schools in the United States. The college is noted for its comprehensive programs, including the Cornell University Hospital for Animals, the Animal Health Diagnostic Center, which houses the New York State Diagnostic Laboratory, the Baker Institute for Animal Health, a center for canine and equine research, the Feline Health Center, and biomedical research laboratories.
The innovative DVM degree program includes combined problem -based and didactic instruction in the biological basis of medicine, training in primary and referral veterinary care in the veterinary teaching hospital and ambulatory services, and instructed practice in the Community Practice Service primary care clinic. Direct access to numerous innovative dairy farms in the upstate New York region facilitate training in food animal medicine. Cornell is consistently ranked the best veterinary college in the nation.[6]
The College of Veterinary Medicine offers programs in veterinary medicine that lead to the degrees of D.V.M., and M.S. and Ph.D. through the Cornell Graduate School. Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine also consistently ranks amongst the best in its field, being regularly selected as the best college for veterinary medicine by U.S. News & World Report's America's Best Colleges edition.
Capital Project
The CVM Pre-Clinical Class Expansion Project is a facility renovation and new construction project that will enable the College to address the following key factors:
-limited access to a Cornell veterinary education for New York State students; -competitive disadvantage and a declining impact among top-tier institutions; -need for additional revenue to replace decline in New York State funding; and, -existing hospital capacity to train additional Cornell veterinary students.
This capital project will allow the College to maximize the capacity of the teaching hospitals with Cornell-trained students. Currently, we train approximately 120 students during the fourth year, but only just over 100 of those students have completed their pre-clinical studies at Cornell. With this renovation, Cornell will be able to train 120 students in each of the pre-clinical years. Once fully implemented, Cornell's DVM enrollment will stand at approximately 480 students in total, or 120 students per class year. The entering class enrollment for the past two years has been 102 students. The facility project will include renovation and expansion of classrooms, teaching laboratories, cafeteria, locker rooms and shower facilities. The project will also create a new entrance off Tower Road that will unite the entrances for Schurman Hall, the Veterinary Education Center, and the Veterinary Research Tower and establish appropriate public atrium space for large gatherings and presentations.[7]

Vincent Jackson Signs Tender
Vincent Jackson signs tender
San Diego Chargers restricted free agent wide receiver Vincent Jackson signed his one-year contract tender Friday. The sixth-year veteran will miss three games while on the Roster-Exempt list and be eligible for the active roster when the team takes on the Colts in Indianapolis on Sunday night, Nov. 28.
"I'm happy Vincent is here," said General Manager A.J. Smith. "I have no doubt he will go to work, work hard and quickly get into game-shape. Once he starts playing in games, I don't think it will take him long for him to be a contributor and help us."
"It feels good to be with my teammates. I've missed football more than you can imagine," Jackson said. "Right now I'm just looking forward to being able to practice and get back on the field. My only concern is doing whatever I can to contribute and help the team win. The future will take care of itself."

Dear Members of the Securities and Exchange Commission:
It's long past time to end secret political spending by corporations, especially if we are told by the Supreme Court to consider corporations as citizens. If so, then as citizens, they are subject to the laws that all citizens are subject to and as such, cannot keep large political spending a secret.
Hence, we strongly support the SEC issuing a rule as soon as possible that requires publicly traded corporations to disclose publicly all their spending on political activities. It is the right action to take.
Both shareholders and the public deserve to know how much a given corporation spends on politics (directly and through intermediaries), and which candidates are being promoted or attacked. If public recognition of their tactics as well as their spending behavior is made known/public, perhaps these corporations will begin to act more human, which means with respect and consideration, and cease this junior high/middle/high school way of secretly chatting about people behind the scenes, with the intention of causing injury to another person's character. To cause injury to one's character is libelous in the USA. Furthermore, such jejune behavior opens up the gates that make it easier for other types of injurious actions to occur. Further, it makes it easier for rudeness to become acceptable--the kind of rudeness demonstrated in Congress, for example. It is unacceptable for any corporation that represents people to act rudely, to hide its actions/activities with its money with impugnity. Hold them responsible for their actions.
Thank you for seriously considering our comment.

WhatsApp users are witnessing an option for two-factor authentication option in their settings folder, but it beta stage. As this feature has gone live in the most recent betas of the app (2.13.341 and above), and has also been seen in the Windows Phone beta. Finally, WhatsApp has added two-step verification in its latest beta versions on Android and Windows Phone. Here is everything you need to know about the APK.
The WhatsApp two-factor verification or authentication code might seem inconvenient, but otherwise provides a crucial line of defense against criminals who might try to clone your phone, convincing a carrier to assign your phone number to their new mobile device. Without that two-factor protections, all that's required to register a WhatsApp account on a new device is a confirmation message – since those messages sent to all devices registered under your number, it's trivial to break if the attacker has cloned your phone.
The same feature was rumored in the past, and this would be the fist time a functional and valid version has been made available to download for users of WhatsApp Android and Windows Phone. iPhone version of sucxh app on its way.
How to Activate WhatsApp two-factor authentication
However, this adds more security to your account of WhatsApp on your device. When you have two-step verification enabled, any attempt to verify your phone number on it must be accompanied by the six-digit passcode that you created using that feature. Once activated, the app will prompt a user for a static six-digit passcode every time a new phone is registered to the account.
By the way you can add your email address to your account which is an optional one but it can help you a lot if you forgot your two-factor authentication pin, use can use it as a safegaurd.
- WhatsApp Video Call Update For Android: Download 2.16.318 To Enable The Feature
- WhatsApp For iOS Now Lets You Send Live Photos And Videos As GIFs, Here's How [Guide]
Here's the way to enable WhatsApp two-step verification by heading to Settings > Account > Two-Step Verification > Enable.
This is what WhatsApp on the official site said:
If you have two-step verification enabled, your number will not be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp within 7 days of last using WhatsApp without your passcode. Thus, if you forget your own passcode, but did not provide an email to disable two-step verification, even you will not be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp within 7 days of last using WhatsApp. After these 7 days, your number will be permitted to reverify on WhatsApp without your passcode, but you will lose all pending messages upon reverifying – they will be deleted. If your number is reverified on WhatsApp after 30 days of last using WhatsApp, and without your passcode, your account will be deleted and a new one will be created upon successfully reverifying.

For a few years there, John McCain was into reasonable territory on a number of key domestic issues. But he's always been nuts on national security and he continues to be nuts today:
It would have been a serious mistake to have read the suspect in the attempted Times Square car bombing his Miranda rights, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Tuesday.
McCain, the ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a longtime leading Republican on national security issues, said he expected the suspect in the case could face charges that might warrant a death sentence if convicted.
"Obviously that would be a serious mistake until all the information is gathered," McCain said during an appearance on "Imus in the Morning" when asked whether the suspect, 30-year-old Faisal Shahzad, a naturalized American citizen from Pakistan.
To step back for a second, what we have here is another triumph for the much-derided law enforcement approach to terrorism. The guy is caught. He's under arrest. Aircraft carriers and tanks don't help with this kind of thing. Hooray for criminal justice. Now McCain thinks he may be eligible for the death penalty, which I think may be correct. But to give him the death penalty, or indeed any penalty, you need to put him on trial. Which is to say you need to prove that the guy in custody is actually responsible for the crime. And the whole reason cops mirandize suspects is that if you don't, you risk having your evidence thrown out of court. If you gather all the information before mirandizing, you could be throwing the whole thing into doubt. Which is why professionals give out the warning. They warn amateurs and drug addicts and crazy people and sophisticated members of organized crime syndicates.
McCain and his buddy Peter King need to let the people who know what they're doing do their jobs.

So, I thought I'd add my own comments to McDimwit's politically-contrived handwringing.

Inexpensive Sand Box ToysReviewing: Rite Aid 6 Piece Sand Toy Set | Rating:
We were at Rite-Aid picking up some last minute items for out trip to the beach when my son told us he wanted some toys to play with in the sand. We took him over to the summer toys section of the store and check out what they had. There were several sets available but the one we picked was the 6 piece sand toy set for $4.99.
The set includes:
* a bucket
* a sifter
* a small shovel
* a large shovel
* 2 sand molds
All of the items were made of sturdy plastic so they were ridged enough to dig down deep into the wet sand with out bending or breaking. The bucket handle was attached very well and did not break even after many trips to and from the ocean filled with water. The large shovel worked really well for digging holes and moving lots of sand at one time. The only problem we had with the set was with the large fish mold. Because of it's size, the wet sand would get stuck in parts of it and we were never able to get a perfect fish shape.
My whole family played with the set for hours and for the money, it is the perfect set of sand toys for the beach or the sand box.

YARMOUTH — David Ray and Susan Stover are not seeking re-election to the School Committee in the upcoming June election.
Nomination papers were due April 24 for two seats on Town Council, three seats on the School Committee, and one seat on the Water District Board of Trustees.
Barring write-in campaigns, all the elections will be uncontested.
Ray, who has served four three-year terms over the past 13 years, isn't running again because he has reached the limit of two consecutive terms.
Ray also said he doesn't plan to run again next year.
"My direct contact of having a kid in the system is over, so I don't think I'll run again," he said.
Ray said he likes the work he's done with the committee over the past dozen years.
"I feel like I've done my service," he said. "I've enjoyed it."
Stover, who has served one term, said she isn't running again because of her schedule.
"I don't have time," she said. "I went back to school. My life changed a lot since I was last elected."
While she has enjoyed serving on the committee, she said she wants to focus on getting her degree and becoming a teacher. She said doing both will take up a lot of time.
"The School Committee is great, but it's a lot of work," Stover said.
Laura Coroi and Jeanne Rapone are running for the two open seats on the School Committee, while incumbent Tim Wheaton is seeking re-election. Coroi is on the board of directors of the Yarmouth Education Foundation, and Rapone owns a kitchen and bath design company.
Walter Anderson is not running for re-election to the Yarmouth Water District Board of Trustees. Anderson couldn't be reached for comment, but according to district Superintendent Bob MacKinnon, Anderson is moving out of town.
Thomas Brennan is the only candidate for the water district seat.
Councilors David Craig and James MacLeod are both seeking re-election to three-year terms on the Town Council.
Election Day is June 9.

It is my understanding that the energy a photon may carry is quantized into Plancke units?
As such a photon might carry only a single Plancke of energy, but is there an upper bound on the energy a photon may carry?
Are there EMF's above Gamma?
It is my understanding that the energy a photon may carry is quantized into Plancke units?
As such a photon might carry only a single Plancke of energy, but is there an upper bound on the energy a photon may carry?
Are there EMF's above Gamma?
The relationship is E=hν, in which E is energy, h is Planck's Constant and ν (that's the Greek "nu"), is frequency. The quantisation comes in when the emitting source is considered. Quite a lot of these can only emit certain frequencies, corresponding to quantised energy jumps in whatever it is that emits the photons. For example sodium street lamps. But some sources, for example so-called "black bodies", such as a filament light bulb, emit a continuum of frequencies, so with them there are photons emitted with any frequency you like, - albeit within a certain overall range, determined by how hot the source is.
Hmm. Is it not the case that Einstein showed that the allowable energies of a propagating photon are given by ?
Did he not get a Noble for proving that this explains the apparent quantization of absorption in the photoelectric effect?
HaveI misunderstood something important here?
Any better?
I had been led to believe that the energy of polychromatic light was quantized, and that each quantum of energy obeyed the principle . And that these quanta (later) came to be called "photons".
Surely a single quantum of energy can have only one energy?Which runs counter to my understanding of quantum physics (which I confess is not deep).If the frequency of the photons is not restricted by constraints in the emitting source, a full range of frequencies can in principle be emitted and the photons emitted will thus have a full and continuous range of energies.
That's all I'm saying. The OP appeared to me to suggest that photons could only exist with a one, two, three, or more, "Planckes" of energy.
Of radiation, yes. Of energy no.Originally Posted by exchemist;607904[/quote
(There seems to be some talking at cross-purposes here which makes it hard to clarify / understand what is meant....)
Just want to thank everyone for their answers. Busy lately, hope to have a follow up question sometime.
Strange has it right. The energy is quantised, such that a purely monochromatic (strictly single frequency ) pulse of light will have the energy , where is Planck's constant and is an integer, the number of photons. The quantisation is because of the , not the or the .
It might be possible to add an extra level of quantisation to the equation by finding some fundamental unit of time, since frequency is the inverse of time. This would turn the energy equation into , where is the fundamental time unit and is an integer. A good contender for this would be the Planck time, ~ seconds. To get to optical frequencies (~ Hz), you would need time quanta. At these frequencies, a 1 unit change in equates to a change in the 15th decimal place in frequency.
That's picking femtohertz out of hundreds of terahertz. That is not presently possible, and so far, not of practical importance. So, it's fine for practical purposes to treat frequency as a continuum.

ORIENTAL INSTITUTE MUSEUM VANISHED KINGDOMS OF THE NILE: The Rediscovery of Ancient Nubia Images from an exhibit at the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago.
From the site:
The earliest of the Nubian cultures (the A-Group and C-Group) were located in northern Nubia. Until recently it was thought that A-Group people were semi-nomadic herdsmen. However, new research suggests that a line of kings 1ived in Qustul in northern Nubia as early as, or perhaps even earlier than, the first pharaohs of Egypt. The people of these early cultures buried their dead in stone-lined pit graves, accompanied by pottery and cosmetic articles. At this time, Nubia was known to the Egyptians as "Ta Sety," the "Land of the Bow," because of the fame of Nubian archers.
By 1550 B.C. kings at Kerma were ruling Nubia. They were buried in huge round tombs, accompanied by hundreds of sacrificed retainers. People of the Kerma culture were accomplished metal workers, and they also made thin-walled pottery on a wheel. This was a time of increased contact between Egypt and "Kush," as Nubia was then called.
Egypt dominated parts of Nubia from about 1950 to 1000 B.C. Forts, trading posts and Egyptianstyle temples were built in Kush, and the Nubian elite adopted the worship of Egyptian gods and even the Egyptian hieroglyphic writing system. The gold, ebony and ivory of Nubia contributed to the material wealth of Egypt, and many of the famed treasures of the Egyptian kings were made of products from Nubia.
By 800 B.C., Egypt had fragmented into rival states. In 747 B.C., the city of Thebes in southern Egypt was threatened by northerners, and the Egyptians called upon the Nubian king for protection. The Kushite king, Piye, marched north from hiscapitalatNapata,rescuedThebesandreunified Egypt. For the next 100 years, Kushite kings ruled both Nubia and Egypt. This era was brought to a close by the invasion of Assyrian armies in 663 B.C., and the Nubian king fled south to his capital at Napata.
By 200 B.C., the capital had shifted yet farther south to Meroe, where the kings continued to be buried in pyramid tombs and to build temples to Nubian and Egyptian gods in a hybrid EgyptianRoman-African style. Roman historians record the skirmishes and treaties which marked the relation ship of Roman Egypt and Nubia.

Click on the image to see the animation
I've been trying to find a good way of displaying 3D images that I photographed at Breadalbane High in Aberfeldy. The images need to be viewed through 3D Red & Blue Anaglyph glasses, so unless you have a pair, you don't really get the idea.
Messing around with the images, I decided to try and make a moving animated GIF to see if it maybe gave a better idea of the artwork. It might not be as good as viewing the image through the 3D glasses but it does give you an idea of the work in three dimensions.
'The News at Ten' is a relief piece created by Hazel D (S3, Breadalbane). The piece focuses on our obsession with television and news and how the news media uses shock tactics and highlights things that are wrong, rather than things that may be going right. This onslaught of negative imagery makes us feel bad, frightened or threatened and therefore makes us watch more news to stay informed.
Hazel had such a tough time trying to keep the large papier mache fist stable and protruding. It's weight and awkwardness made what should have been an easy gluing task, an absolute nightmare. All the effort was worth it though, the work is powerful and pushes itself onto the viewer, reflecting points that it's trying to put across. A great success out of a multitude of problems. Well done Hazel.

2017 Buick Encore Redesign
After the 2017 Opel Mokka X presented at the Geneva Motor Show 2016, it became obvious what we are expecting in April. Specifically at the New York Auto Show 2016, according to official figures, will debut the new 2017 Buick Encore, Chevy Trax and Opel Mokka twin. Although often referred to as pocket-sized luxury crossover, Encore is regardless of all, best-seller of this brand . This proves 67.549 copies sold of this model in 2015. On the US market since 2013, the model is only achieved success. The redesign of the 2017 model is expected. In some way it is premature by model sibling sister brands. However, no Trax nor Mokka , can not replace easily Buick Encore model.
2017 Buick Encore Design Changes
Changes that will mark 2017 model is primarily related to outer appearance. Powertrain unit is not changed. It is not expected any new engine offered. This means that the 2017 Buick Encore will run 1.4 L turbocharged engine with 153 hp and 177 lb.-ft. of torque. Frankly, current model has not attracted young customers because of what has under the hood. The new design and appearance of the model, inspired youth and vivacity, is actually what attracted young people to buy this vehicle. The redesign, which we will have the opportunity to see in April, this relationship, vehicle-customer, even more deepens.
Although many expect Opel Mokka X model with the Buick sign, in these two models is not all so black and white. 2017 Mokka X's individual elements, especially the interior, took over from the current model Encore. Now 2017 Buick Encore offers new instrument panel, and diminished amount of black plastic. There will be new touchscreen infotainment system. It replaces many buttons and gives support for Apple CarPlay. Some sources clearly state that the main difference between the Mokka, Trax, and Encore, that this last one is the most luxurious version of the same small crossover SUV models. 2017 Buick Encore has received a redesigned front part of the vehicle. New Buick grille, and new headlights. The offer is expected the new wheels, and even after a change of the exterior.
2017 Buick Encore Release Date
New 2017 Encore is not the only improvement model from Buick lineup. Redesigned model we should expect in the summer of 2016. Besides it, Buick will offer new version of Cascada convertible, redesigned Envision crossover model and new LaCrosse sedan.

Operating Procedure Generation
Operators are the first-line hands when it comes to running a plant. The ever-dynamic process that occurs at upstream platforms, midstream terminals, downstream refineries, and chemical plants would be difficult for anyone to keep straight without written guidance and instruction. This is why OSHA 1910.119(f) requires PSM-covered facilities to have up to date and accurate operating procedures. Per the PSM mandate, the "employer shall develop and implement written operating procedures that provide clear instructions for safely conducting activities involved in each covered process consistent with the process safety information."
Well-written operating procedures can be hard to come by in industry, yet are invaluable for a company that has them. The two criteria that make operating procedures so hard to write are that (1) they have to be concise enough to not over-burden an experienced operator, but (2) detailed enough for a new operator to comprehend and perform. A well-written operating procedure not only acts as the means to keep your process running safely, but also serves as a training tool for new operators.
- Initial start-up
- Normal operations
- Temporary operations
- Emergency shutdown
- Emergency operations
- Normal shutdown
- Start-up following a turnaround, or after an emergency shutdown
- Operating limits
- Consequences of deviations
- Steps required to correct or avoid deviation
- Safety and health considerations
- Properties of, and hazards presented by, the chemicals used in the process
- Precautions necessary to prevent exposure, including engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective equipment
- Control measures to be taken if physical contact or airborne exposure occurs
- Quality control for raw materials and control of hazardous chemical inventory levels
- Any special or unique hazards
- Safety systems and their functions
Cognascents has worked with many of the major oil, gas, and chemical companies to develop operating procedures from scratch or to update operating procedures after a major design change. Cognascents has also worked with small companies to develop operating procedures for processes that have grown in the last decade and are now covered by PSM.
In addition to writing operating procedures, Cognascents also provides facilitators to risk-assess operating procedures. Cognascents facilitators can lead a team through a step-by-step process hazard analysis to identify and mitigate potential hazard scenarios. Visit our Process Hazards Analysis page to see when we are available to help you perform a risk assessment on your operating procedures. Our PHA facilitators have experience in performing What-If and Checklist Analyses, HAZIDs, and HAZOPs for our clients operating procedures.

Increasingly, people are finding things, getting directions, and connecting with the wisdom of the Internet via Siri and other apps on their smartphones. This begs the question: what's the future of SEO when people are connecting to information via intelligent agents and apps as opposed to search engines?
How can we as marketers and SEOs adapt to this change in user behavior to make sure our products, brands, and information is discoverable via non-search (i.e., not involving a visit to Google.com) interaction?
Well, here are seven tips to guide you through the app-and-mobile storm on the horizon to the sunny shores of post-search nirvana.
1. API as Much as Possible IMG
Get your marketing content wired. It's all about making connections so your content gets into as many environments as possible.
Intelligent agents and other apps, mobile or otherwise, need access to data. Put your data out there via an open data set or API.
Work with vendors who put themselves between APIs and App developers to smooth the interactions and help keep API updates from breaking apps.
APIs can be hard to make, maintain, and keep updated and you may need help doing this. Here are some companies to consider so you don't overload your in-house devs:
- Mashery.com – helps you plan and develop your API and handle outrach to App developers.
- Geofeedia.com – aggregates social and other API-sourced data by location and resells it to brands and app developers – make sure they have access to your location-relevant data (sales, events, etc) so they can then provide it folks who turn it into products.
- Mashape.com – runs an "API Marketplace" – if you create an API, consider putting it up here so devs can find it. Here's a list of their APIs.
This is a fast-moving area – any comments, reviews, or corrections to the above section would be welcome in the comments section!
2. Get Semantic
Using semantic markup like the Schema.org protocol helps third parties interpret and use your public HTML. This increases your chances of non-search apps using your data (and thus increasing its value).
Now Google allows you to add schematic markup using Google webmaster tools – it's just for "events" at the moment, but it offers a lot of potential for SEO professionals to take action without needing help from developers.
SEO professionals have been recommending this for years, but outside of the hotels/reviews, events and recipes verticals, amazingly little has been done. Just adding NAP (name, address phone number) semantic markup to your local store pages that exactly matches the data provided to the Google+ Local page can make a big difference in the local results.
3. Know Your Apps and App Developers
Make friends (even more so) with your developers and get their input on how to open up your data and web services. Make it somebody's job (yours maybe?) to seek out and engage with app developers who may benefit from your data or web services.
Participate in hackathons or hold your own. Reach out to apps that might be a good integration partner for your content or business and hammer out a deal. The upside could be as little an attribution or citation from the app or as high as more traffic, sales, or exposure for your content.
4. Think Beyond Search/SEO and Digital
Don't focus just on SEO. Think in terms of the keywords, content, and context you want to optimize for.
A compelling real-life art installation, event, sale, or live performance will do more for your inbound links, traffic, and conversions than many a traditional SEO effort. And it will get you into discovery apps that are always on the lookout for interesting, local, and timely things (Think the Field Trip app from Google).
Content marketing isn't just for search or digital. EConsultancy has a great article about how Red Bull used content marketing that merged digital and real-life with their famous Stratus Jump.
5. Socialize Your Content and Your People
With new social search and social authority metrics arising everyday, you need to make sure both your brand and your content creators have large, engaged, and active social presences. The connections between your social profiles and your web or non-web content need to be clear and machine-discoverable (see: rel=author tag and Klout.com).
Soon enough intelligent agents will know who's the authority – be it a brand or a person – on Thai cuisine in your area and will give a set of recommendations. While Google+ may suck as a social network, it could become indispensible as a social avatar/digital identity reference point to identify authoritative real people and brands.
You (the brand) need to be both a subject expert and you need to have brand experts (actual people) on staff creating content in areas where you do business.
6. Find Ways to Get Local
Mobile apps are really blowing the SEO world apart. They are driving increasing amounts of (often untrackable) visits. Siri practically assumes you're looking for local things.
Find some way to make your content locally relevant.
For example, a software vendor with a single office can create a list of resellers or service partners and create local pages that are optimized for search, API'd, and have Google+ Local pages. This gets your brand into local results even if your reseller network doesn't have its act together enough to do it on their own. A vintner (someone who makes or sells wines) could do the same with the stores that carry its vintages and brands.
7. Consider Whether You Even Need an App
Honestly, your client might not need mobile apps at all. They may be better off making their data available and working with other app developers where there is a good fit. Again, getting your information into other apps usually involves getting some sort of credit or a citation, and may involve them paying you for it.
If you decide to go with creating your own app, consider cross-platform vendors like Appcelerator to reduce versioning and increase speed-to-platform (i.e., Android and Apple). There are pluses and minuses to this approach, but it's worth looking at.
Incidentally, all these tips will help your search engine rankings as well. Search is an app too, remember?
We have already arrived at a post-search era when users and visits are coming from an ever-greater variety of places, using discovery-type apps and sites like Foursquare and Yelp as opposed to traditional search engines.
Make it your job as a post-search guy to not only rock the traditional side of SEO but to also get your business found in the new world of social, mobile, and everything in-between.

Expats probably spend a good deal more time than most people on the internet. Connecting with friends and family back home, searching for local information, translating things etc. We are probably quite expert – 'Super Users' in fact. I do nearly everything on the internet now – over Christmas I didn't even step into a shop and battle with the crowds, I purchased all my gifts online, and herein lies a bit of a trap.
Expats are so vulnerable to what I call the 'time thief' of the internet – that ability to get sucked down into the rabbit hole so that something that should have taken us five minutes becomes half an hour. Our monkey brain jumps from one branch to another, page to page, link to link, and we suddenly find ourselves robbed of time. Our brains love this exploration and expansion, but it's not necessarily what we want for ourselves when we are setting up our life abroad, and let's face it, we didn't come here to sit in front of a computer. If we were to add-up all the time we waste on this each year I'm sure we would find it quite shocking.
The Time Thief
International Assignments are not forever. Our time in these countries is so precious (call me for a chat if you don't feel like this!) and in order to get our lives where we want them, it takes energy, attention and action. For example, I noticed I would log onto Facebook to get a sense of what my friends had been up to that day, and my mind would wander through all the Upworthy feeds (now averaging at about six a day!) and it would be easy to lose a good 30 minutes, and then I'd give myself a hard time. I realised that since New Year I've wasted a significant amount of time looking at news items that I can't actually take action on, no matter how important or shocking they may be. When changing the world, or our lives, for the better we can know so much but unless we take action nothing changes. The knowledge provided by Upworthy makes me anxious – terrible things happen in the world – just read any newspaper. I stopped reading daily newspapers many years ago, so why do I still have bad news delivered to me? Crazy!
The Information Diet
So – I've just 'de-liked' Upworthy! Am I sticking my head in the sand? Maybe. But here's the thing. If the universe requires us to take action, and make a difference in the world, there is nothing you or I can do to stop the universe bringing this message to our front door. By hook or by crook the message will be delivered with perfect timing in the perfect way, a bit like you getting this blog post today. I'm letting go of that inner 'hair vest' voice that tells me I need to know this stuff. I don't actually. What I need to do is live my life responsibly, with love, compassion and take action with those people I feel called to be in service to. That's the small part I play in the world.
Time Thief Detox
Today I unliked Upworthy, last week I went through my inbox and labelled set-up some rules for which folder which emails should be delivered to – I now have only the most important emails coming to me, and my goodness it have saved me time! I only look/respond to my emails twice a day and don't get the constant worry and interruption from unsolicited incoming mails. I'm on an information diet – a time thief detox, I have more time, my energy levels are up and I feel amazing, look, I even have time to write the blog (she says red faced, knowing full well it's been a while 😉
So, come on and join me – try this little exercise. For one day (a busy one preferably), set your alarm on your phone or watch to go off every hour. Then make a note of what you are doing and what you did in the past hour. Make a note of all the areas that are 'time thieves' or simply inefficient uses of your time. As always, awareness is the first step. Now go through your Facebook, Twitter, Linked In etc and make sure you all the 'Likes' are genuine, non-time wasting and make you happy. Do the same with email, set your folders up and rules for the addresses you want to maintain contact with and check the notifications settings on your smartphone. Let's make this wonderful technology work for US, not the other way round. We have a million distractions in our world, so feel free to remove the ones which are simply not a good use of your time. Your time is precious, you and your mental health are precious so guard yourself and powerfully choose the influences you want to accept into your life. In Expat life, you really don't have time for anything but the best use of your time.
Rant over, I'm going back to work!
Have fun and enjoy the ride,
PS I am running another Expat group coaching course starting in March 2014 – for those people who really want to kickstart or re-boot their lives abroad. It's back, improved and updated and I'm really really excited about it! I'd love for you to join me on a Webinar I'll be running at the start of March, so you can find out more about the programme and what it will do for you.

There may be more to language learning than you first realised…
2018 brings the opportunity to make new resolutions and set personal goals and for many of us, finding romance is high on the list. However, if you have been trying to hit the gym in an effort to improve your appearance, get ready for some good news – making yourself attractive might be easier than you think. A new global study by language learning app Babbel and dating site EliteSingles, has found that 93% of Americans surveyed, would prefer to date a partner who has foreign language skills, than one who has a six pack.
With 61% of Americans willing to learn a language in order to improve their love lives, let's see just why language skills can make you more attractive than muscles, when it comes to finding love:
Demonstrates intelligence
A reason given by 23% of those who were surveyed, as to why they would prefer a partner with language skills rather than a six-pack, is intelligence. Put simply, learning a language is sexy because it indicates to a potential partner that you are smart. The great thing about this is that they aren't wrong; speaking a foreign language can actually improve your intelligence! Not only does it improve the functionality of your brain, but research from Northwestern University found that learning a new language can make you better at tuning out distractions, while research from Lund University, suggests that learning a language can actually lead to brain growth, as well as helping keep it in great condition.
Makes you better at decision-making
Speaking more than one language may also make you far more adept at decision-making, a quality valued by many when it comes to relationships. Couples often complain about their partner's lack of decision-making skills and their indecisiveness over every day issues. According to a study by the University of Chicago, bilinguals tend be better decision makers than the rest of us. Not only is this a great skill to have for yourself, but it can be a positive one when it comes to dating, because you will be more likely to appear self-assured and confident in your own skin, much more impressive than possessing muscles!
Makes you a great communicator
As Julie Hansen, CEO US of Babbel says, "being able to communicate is fundamental to human interaction". Speaking a second language not only opens up the opportunity for you to communicate with people you may not otherwise have been able to talk to, it can also make you a better communicator in your mother tongue. Learning the grammar and mechanics behind a second language can make you more aware of your first language and more skilled when it comes to using it. Your use of your first language can become more advanced and you might become more aware of the nuances of the language that you may not otherwise have noticed. This will likely provide you with the skills to be a better communicator, as you are equipped with a good understanding and use of vocabulary, which can be used to better express emotions and thoughts to your partner. This can be very important when it comes to dating, as Sophie Watson, spokesperson for EliteSingles, points out; "connection and great communication are vital parts of a first date – especially if you want to land a second one".
It sets you apart from others
While many people possess muscles, the majority of the population in the US only speaks one language; English. This means that if you take the decision to learn a second language this year, you will be setting yourself apart from a large majority of your competition when it comes to finding love. It also provides you with the opportunity to land many jobs which are not accessible to others, such as a flight attendant, journalist, an English teacher abroad and many more. Not only could these jobs make you seem seriously impressive, but who knows who you might meet as a result of these opportunities.
Makes you more interesting
In an age where the majority of us have serious aspirations to travel and learn about other cultures, speaking more than one language makes you far more interesting than someone who has a six-pack. Whether you have lived in another country, or simply learnt another language out of curiosity, it adds a new layer to your personality, which is bound to be of interest to a potential partner. Of the 93% who said they would prefer to date a partner who has language skills rather than a six pack, 42% said this was because they find other cultures interesting, meaning that your language skills will likely provide you with a great topic of conversation, whether that is talking about the country you have lived in or visited, or the reasons why you decided to learn a certain language.
Christian Hillemeyer is director of communications at Babbel.

Pet obesity levels have increased across the UK over the past decade with more high-calorie treats available, owners not knowing how much to feed their animals and the conflicting information available on the current foods on the market.
There are many hidden dangers for overweight pets, not least the health risks, but also the risk of shortening their lifespan.
What we feed our dogs is a hot topic with many trainers, behaviorists and vets.
With such a wide range of food on the market and so much jargon on the bags, is it any wonder we find it difficult to really know what's in our dog's food and what's really good for them.
Nutrition is a key part of a dog's lifestyle and can play a huge part in their wellbeing, this means it more important than ever that we make sure we are doing our best with regards to what we feed our dogs.
There are many factors that can attribute to the weight gain in pets but as with people, usually weight gain happens because the amount of calories consumed by the pet is greater than the amount of calories burned up and used by the body.
Some of the most common problems associated with excess weight include;diabetes, arthritis, joint and mobility problems, increased frequency of joint injuries, high blood pressure, skin and coat problems, anal gland problems and pancreatitis to name but a few. Food can play a major part in weight gain as well as weight management, so its essential we make sure we know what we are putting into our dogs.
Our New Year weight campaign proved a huge hit, with over 35 animals joining our weight loss programme, making a step in the right direction for a happier, healthier life.
Weight clinics at Alnorthumbria Vets are provided free of charge to clients.
During these appointments your pet will be weighed and measured and any adjustments to your pet's diet and exercise can be discussed with a nurse.
Our nurses will also chat about nutrition and what different foods are available.
Regular monitoring and weight checks are essential to ensure that your pet is losing weight at a safe rate and so that we can make any adjustments to your pet's diet as necessary.
During our clinics many owners want further in depth advice on nutrition. In light of this, we have organised a canine nutrition talk to be held at our Wagonway Road surgery in Alnwick on Wednesday, April 15, from 6.45pm to 8pm. The seminar is free to clients and will include basic nutrition information, a breakdown of the most common ingredients on dog food bags as well as a question and answer session. To register your interest simply give our Alnwick surgery a call on 01670 510999 or email email@example.com

Week 14 FanDuel Tournament Pivots
In daily fantasy football tournaments, you don't want to use the same guys everyone else is playing. You need to be different. You need to be contrarian.
Throwing chalk plays into a tournament lineup can sometimes work, but it's also important to know which players to pivot to, or use instead of the popular, chalky option. Let's take a look at the Week 14 slate with a list of pivot options.
Chalk: Ben Roethlisberger, $8,300, at Cincinnati Bengals
Roethlisberger has insane home-road splits throughout his career. While he's played in just three away games this season, he has just two touchdowns to four interceptions in those games. Last season, just 9 of his 32 passing touchdowns came on the road. The Bengals also come in as our 13th-ranked pass defense according to Net Expected Points (NEP). Given his probable high ownership, Big Ben is a decent fade in tournaments.
Pivot: Brian Hoyer, $7,000, vs. New England Patriots
In every game that Hoyer has started and finished, he's had multiple touchdown passes. Let me say that again: In every game that Hoyer has started and finished, he's had multiple touchdown passes.
The Texans are currently third in the NFL in pass attempts. This is partially due to game flow and poor running back play, but both should cause the Texans to go to the air against the Patriots this weekend. The Patriots do rank 11th against the pass according to NEP, but Malcolm Butler and company have been known to let up a big play or two…or three. And, with a guy like DeAndre Hopkins to throw it up to, we should expect Hoyer to have another nice day at a very inexpensive price.
Running Back
Chalk: Thomas Rawls, $7,400, at Baltimore Ravens
Of the backs not playing on Thursday, Rawls was the highest owned running back in Thursday Night's FanDuel $2 Snap (21.6% owned). Since becoming the starter, Rawls has the most touches of any running back in the league. Hard to argue against that workload. But, as I've mentioned before, the Seahawks are a much different team on the road than they are at home. Typically we see a dip in both rushing yards and touchdowns from Seattle backs. This week, he faces a tough Baltimore Ravens run defense which ranks in the top 10 against the run according to NEP.
Pivot: Chris Ivory, $7,100, vs. Tennessee Titans
Start Chris Ivory when he's at home and favored. That's it! It's as simple as that.
Seriously, though, over the last two seasons, there have been nine instances where Ivory was playing at home and the New York Jets were favored. Not only did he exceed his salary implied fantasy point total in every one of those weeks, but he smashed it -- his average salary implied point total in those games was 10.90, but his actual performance in those games was a whopping 18.69. The Jets are favored by more than a touchdown. Roster Chris Ivory this week.
Wide Receiver
Chalk: Antonio Brown ($9,300), Julio Jones ($8,800)
Take your pick. I mentioned already that Roethlisberger struggles on the road, and Brown will surely have high ownership rates. Jones, meanwhile, will see Josh Norman -- last season against the Panthers, Jones ended with fewer than 60 yards in both contests.
Pivot: DeAndre Hopkins $8,700 vs New England Patriots
While the others are all paying up for the guys above, I'll be paying slightly down and grabbing a player that's currently your second overall fantasy scorer on the season, and has proven time and time again that he can produce gigantic games.
Last week, Hopkins was severely under-owned due to a poor performance in in Week 12. Those who thought he'd scorch the porous Saints secondary were burned, and burned badly.
This, really, is an ownership percentage move. We know Hopkins is capable of scoring more points than any wideout in football, and as noted above, the Texans may see a negative game script. That means more volume for Hopkins which, in turn, means more fantasy points.
Tight End
Chalk: Scott Chandler $5,800 at Houston Texans
Chandler should be another popular pick this weekend assuming Gronk is out again. And while I've always been concerned about the talent to begin with, now we need to worry about his quickly rising salary. Over the last two weeks, Chandler's salary has risen $1,200. He's now priced firmly between Jordan Reed and Antonio Gates. The price is just too high, especially given the matchup. Over the last 11 games, the Texans are only allowing an average of 41 receiving yards to the tight end position, allowing just 2 touchdowns over that span.
Pivot: Jason Witten $5,500 at Green Bay Packers
Witten hasn't seen the end zone since Week 1, but that could change this weekend. The Packers have done very little lately in the way of slowing down opposing tight ends -- over their last seven games, they have allowed a touchdown to a tight end in six of them. They are also giving up yards in chunks, allowing opposing tight end corps to top 100 yards three times over that span. We all know Matt Cassel can't throw down field. This seems like a great spot for Witten this weekend.
