Published June 2, 1995
The ATP Tour and EXPO 2000 Hannover announced yesterday that the ATP World Championship, the year-end event of the men's pro tour, will be held in Hannover, Germany, from '96-99. The event's five-year run in Frankfurt ends after '95. In addition, The World Championship will be a showcase event for EXPO 2000 Hannover, the organizer of the World Exposition to be held from June 1-October 31, 2000. EXPO 2000 Hannover also made a commitment to a worldwide ad and promotional campaign to increase the international awareness of the World Championship and World Exposition (ATP). BEHIND THE DEAL: Yesterday, THE SPORTS BUSINESS DAILY spoke with ATP COO Larry Scott about the change of venue. Scott cited two reasons for the move: "One was to build our asset by moving to Hannover and increasing our [seating capacity] from 9,000 seats in the Festhalle, to where we can sit 14,000 people in the new facility. ... Secondly, the overall promotional gain that partnering with the World EXPO gives the ATP Tour. We are the arguably the second most popular sport in Germany and now we have a partner that will back that up with promotions and advertisements." Part of EXPO 2000's support will be by running ads and promotions for both the Championships and the World Expo on their TV-partner broadcasts and at ATP events. EXPO 2000 will also have on-site promotions with Mercedes, a new ATP sponsor, and other ATP sponsors including Lufthansa. Scott: "They are promoting the World Expo through tennis, and it gives much more stature and value to the World Championships." The event will be televised internationally and seen in the U.S. on ESPN, but Scott noted the ATP is in discussions to put the men's final on U.S. network TV. In addition, Scott said that World Sports Marketing (WSM), the German-based sports marketing company, will help EXPO 2000 Hannover in staging the event. Their efforts will be overseen by tennis guru Ion Tiriac, who is a consultant to WSM. Scott said staying in Germany was "a reflection of where tennis is strongest. There was some consideration to move back to the U.S. (where it was known as The Masters and held at Madison Square Garden), but it didn't make sense to us" (THE DAILY).

The holidays are over and that means that tomorrow our kids will head back to school. It has been two weeks of non-routine ways in our household and tonight means that this mom has to buckle down to make sure our kids get back into the best routine possible.
- After dinner, we usually start off by gathering clothes that our kids will wear and putting them into a bin with their names.(this will help alleviate morning chaos)
- Showering; our kids are still young enough to shower together and this saves time for mom. While the kids are in the shower, I'm gathering their pajamas, undies, and socks and anything else they need for bed. Also, making sure they brush their teeth! There are many time apps that give timed visuals on when and how they need to brush their teeth.
- Story time. Story time is crucial, kids respond better at bed time when you read them a story.
- Bedtime Prayers: we say the same prayer at bedtime so the kids understand that it's important to say prayers.
- Lastly, hugs and kisses! It's so important to show love to your child, regardless of how angry they've made you feel during the day. Forgive and forget, tomorrow is a brand new day.
I want to hear your bedtime routines! Share your routines with me at: email@example.com and you could see them in an upcoming post!

Get email delivery of the Cadence blog featured here
Representatives of Cadence and Mentor Graphics don't often appear in the same webinar, but there's a new development in the industry that was important enough to bring these two EDA vendors together Dec. 7. That development is OpenPDK, a process design kit standardization effort launched by the Silicon Integration Initiative (Si2) and ten founding members, including Cadence, Mentor and Synopsys, in May 2010.
The webinar was part of the ongoing Cadence Silicon Realization webinar series. Titled "OpenPDK: What is the Goal of this Effort, and What is the Status?" it was presented by John Stabenow, group director for analog product management at Cadence, and Linda Fosler, director of marketing for Mentor's Deep Submicron Division.
Instead of imposing a "universal" PDK, the OpenPDK effort seeks to define a single data source that enables all PDK creation. Foundries publish the source once, and propagate it to all EDA vendors equally. Vendors can then "compile" this information into different PDK formats that are optimized to support each vendor's tools. Formats could include Cadence's SKILL language, Mentor's Ample language, or the Interoperable PDK Libraries (IPL) alliance format. OpenPDK works with OpenAccess, but does not require that EDA tools run natively on it.
Under OpenPDK, a single source can be translated into a variety of formats. Source: Si2
Here are two key takeaways from this webinar:
Who cares about PDKs? You do, if you have anything to do with semiconductor design or manufacturing. PDKs not only enable analog/custom design, but also make digital standard cell design possible. Thus anything that impacts PDKs has ripples throughout the entire IC development chain.
Swappability versus Interoperability
Swappability, Stabenow said, occurs when users can take two tools with identical functionality and interchange them at will. It doesn't provide much value. With interoperability, on the other hand, users can choose differentiated point tools that best solve their problems. "An interoperable EDA flow built on top of a universal data model is a way for our customers to drive profitability," he said.
There is some "buzz" around a universal PDK, Stabenow said, but that concept doesn't really solve the customer's problem. For a single PDK to work universally, EDA vendors would have to have functionally identical tools. "If your goal is swappable tools, that's the methodology you'd like," he said. "But if your goal is best-in-class tools that solve your design challenges in the way you uniquely want to solve them, then this [universal PDK] methodology won't work."
With the OpenPDK single-source approach, he said, foundries can publish process data once and propagate it equally to all EDA vendors. Large and small EDA vendors can then build PDKs in their own unique formats, gaining an "equal playing field." Benefits include increased design choices, faster process ramp-ups, lower customer support costs for foundries, and fewer requirements for retooling. Stabenow noted that the OpenPDK Coalition is now working on a detailed specification.
A "Storybook Myth"
Linda Fosler spoke next. "I agree with everything John said about what the market really wants," she said. "The market wants the freedom to choose best in class tools. And the myth of the universal PDK is only slightly more believable than your average storybook." She went on to say that "I encourage the industry to give up on that particular myth."
Fosler said that Mentor is "excited about the OpenPDK Coalition" and is actively participating in technical working groups. Meanwhile, she said, Mentor formed its own design kit initiative two years ago with the intention of supporting all significant design kit formats.
"We're very pleased to be part of the coalition and pleased to be working closely with Cadence in that coalition," she said. "We believe strongly in collaboration. That's not to say we don't want to compete, but we intend to compete on tool functionality that solves unique problems."
The archived webinar is available here for Cadence Community members (quick and free registration if you're not yet a member).
Richard Goering
Interoperable PDK's are a myth? Somebody should tell the world's largest foundry which is fully (and successfully) committed to them.
As a founding member of both the IPL and the OpenPDK Coalition, I believe I can clarify something:
1. The IPL offers a standard for interoperable PCell libraries that can work today in virtually every custom IC design tool in the world. They have been proven in extensive qualifications in multiple companies to provide identical results in every tool because the API works with OpenAccess directly.
2. What the OpenPDK Coalition intends to provide is the ability to CREATE most or all PDKs from a single source, including IPL-compliant PCells for those who want interoperable PCells. Remember, there is still the issue of qualification of each resulting PDK element if interoperable standards are not used.
Let's not confuse "open" with "interoperable." I have not seen any work being done at the OpenPDK meetings that touches on interoperability. What I see being developed is a way for foundries and IDMs to create a single PDK information source that can be converted into the myriad of proprietary PDK elements. While this reduces the workload of companies with multiple consumers of PDK information, it does not preclude the use of truly interoperable standards where they exist. We support the OpenPDK coalition because we believe that an OpenPDK will make it that much easier for users to adopt interoperable PCells and other interoperable standards as they emerge.
The diagram in this article associates IPL with Synopsys in the same way that SKILL is associated with Cadence. This is not correct. The IPL format and standard is supported in tools from Magma, Springsoft, Pulsic, Synopsys, Mentor, Ciranova, AWR, and more.
Synopsys is the largest EDA company in the IPL coalition but it is by far not the largest company in the coalition.
The technology behind IPL is helping semiconductor companies produce ICs on the most advanced nodes in production. No myth.

When two Ph.D. Students decided to create a search engine back in 1996, no one realized that Google would eventually become a multinational company. In addition to being the most popular method for searching the internet, the company has worked hard to create social media, email, cloud storage, translation, and mapping products for the modern technological age. Despite the company's evolution, the Google logo history has always been characterized by the company's name written in stylized font.
There have been some minor alterations throughout the years, but Google logo history has been remarkably stable. It still looks very much like the original 1997 logo. Read on to discover how Google created a logo that would represent their company for years to come.
Font and perception
To begin with, it is important to look at the importance of font. Largely ignored unless especially irritating to the eye, the font is something that the reader accepts as a given. However, the typeface can have a serious impact on the text itself, and the Google logo changes make no exception. In his 1964 book Understanding the Media: The Extensions of Man, University of Toronto professor and philosopher Marshall McLuhan first noticed the importance of the medium within any form of communication.
According to his pioneering studies, besides the various modern electronic channels of transmitting information, the text itself is such a medium. As such, it influences the way in which the information it transmits is received. Writer Erroll Morris's experiment with a quiz in the New York times proves just that.
Google logo history
Despite some alterations throughout the years, the Google logo history has been remarkably stable. It still looks very much like the old Google logo from 1997. Read on to discover how Google created a logo that would represent their company for years to come.

Changes and Evolution
1. Shape
Google Logo History: Google Logo 1998 (Source)
The shape of the Google logo design has always consisted of the letters in the company's name. Originally, these letters were three dimensional letters that were tilted sideways. In 1998, the letters were straightened instead of being slanted, and for a brief period of a year, the design featured an exclamation point at the end, but this was deemed to be too similar to Yahoo's own logo.
Google Logo History: Google logo 1999-2010 (Source)
The same logo was used from 1999 to 2010, and it featured the text with a shadow and rounded edges. The shadow was slightly reduced in 2013, and by 2013, the letters were completely flattened and un-shadowed. The most significant change came in 2013, when the text font changed from a classic typeface to a custom font.

2. Color
All the options in Google logo history show multicolored text. The color of the letters composing the company's name was a different shade, with an order entirely alien to that which we have come to know. At first, the sequence of coloring was red, red, blue, green, yellow, red. A year later, this changed to green, red, yellow, blue, green, red. The color sequence changed one last time in 1998, when it was shifted to blue, red, yellow, blue, green, red. This is still the color sequence used, but the newer versions used slightly lighter, muted colors instead of the bright primary shades. The most notable color change has been the green, which has changed from a bright lime green to a deeper, kelly green.
3. Font
The first few logos used by Google featured traditional fonts. At first, Baskerville Bold was used, but it was changed to the Catull typeface in 1999. After years with a Sans Serif typeface, Google decided to change to a custom, sans serif font in 2015.
According to Poole, the Sans Serif font style is not suitable for the usual text. The Serif style alone increases legibility and improves identification through contrast. Sans Serifs, although not very different, fit better in the small pixel grid used by computers. In this way, with one, seemingly incremental, fell swoop, Google enhanced the marketing capabilities of its logo with one simple logo change.
New Google Logo: Google logo 2015 (Source)
New Google Logo Design Elements
The modern logo at Google was unveiled on September 1, 2015. Ruth Kedar, the overseer of the Google logo evolution, came up with the original design. It is a sans serif logo featuring gently bent text that reads, "Google." Both G's are blue, while the first O and the E are red. The second O is yellow, and the L is green.
The text is completely flat, without any shadows or third dimensional text. The font used for the new Google logo is very similar to the classic Futura font, but there are some slight differences in length and shape. The same font used today by Google is also used by its mother-company, Alphabet.
Though the Google logo gets its inspiration from the Futura font that Paul Renner designed back in 1927, it is slightly updated. The crossbar of the E is slanted to give the logo more of a friendly and organic appeal.
It may not seem important, but this simple sans serif text with a slanted E has influenced many other technological companies and their respective logos. One example of a tech company with a similar logo is Lenovo, a Chinese-based computer and phone company.
For Google, it was Ruth Kedar, the graphic desginer, who chose the colors of the Google logo. She wanted three primary colors to emphasize the basics while including a secondary color to show that Google does not follow the rules.
In the end, it was the company that overtook and gave meaning to the colors. Any project name, like Chrome or Google Maps, needed only to be attributed the same colors as the main logo to attain instant recognition as belonging to Google. To the colors, Kedar added a playfulness of design with the Catull typeface, again signaling that Google is not just another company.
The First Google Doodle (Source)
Why did Google change its logo so many times and what is up with all these changes to the home-page? Google is known for replacing the logo on their homepage with a "Google Doodle" that looks similar to the logo but marks some sort of significant event. The first doodle appeared in 1998 and featured a stick figure of the Burning Man because the Google founders wanted to warn their audience that the site might go down while they were attending the Burning Man Festival.
Google continued and expanded this practice, adding more and more doodles corresponding to holidays and special events. While the first doodles were addressed to the United States audience, referencing holidays such as Thanksgivings, Google soon moved on to non-US holidays. Bastille Day, Korean Liberation Day, St. Patrick's Day and even the Chinese New Year soon joined the list.
Aside from logos pertaining to holidays, the Google logo history also includes multiday doodled logos. If most are also related to events such as the Olympics, some of them are displayed for no apparent reason, such as the May 2000 series that featured aliens. Two years later, the famous cartoon character Dilbert made a multi-day appearance.
Example of Google Doodle (Source)
Starting from 2008, the Google doodles increased exponentially, numbering in the hundreds. The new doodles commemorated historical events, personalities, famous cartoon characters and most of all, they celebrated the national day of quite a populous list of countries. Scroll lower for more Google doodles.
Though Google's logo has remained very similar, they are constantly making tiny changes to coloring and shape. With four different logos used in the past six years, Google has changed their logo more times than any other major company. At the same time, the company managed to retain a sense of familiarity for its users.
Google logo history helps to prove that logos do not need to be complicated or abstract to work well. The simple colors and design of the Google logo help to create instant brand recognition. The iconic logo is now featured on everything from self-driving cars to the architecture at the Google campus and it has long been used as a verb.

I am now slightly more rested than I was early this morning when I first posted about our little one, so I feel ready to share the details of the last two and a half days. (Has it really only been that long already? Amazing!)
Things first began on Tuesday night (May 22) when I crawled into bed at about 10pm and I began to feel small contractions. They didn't really catch my attention, though, since I had been feeling Braxton Hicks contractions (a sort of fake contraction) for about 15 weeks. A few of them did wake me during the night, though. On Wednesday morning I decided to go about my regular schedule and see what happened. While shopping at Target for a few last items for my hospital bag, I had to stop multiple times to lean on my cart and let a contraction pass. In the afternoon, Ella & I went to Becky's to watch Malena & Maira while Becky went to the dentist. At that time, the contractions continued to strengthen and were only about 4 minutes apart. Let me tell you, it was not comfortable having the three little girls crawling all over me while the contractions hit. But it kept me somewhat distracted! After Becky got home, I paged Pete out of surgery, telling him things were getting more intense. I drove the 10 minutes to the hospital (perhaps I should not have been driving at that point, but I wasn't completely convinced I was in labor) and let Pete drive me home. The beauty of being married to a doctor is that he was able to check my progress while we were home. Much to my relief, he confirmed that I surely was in labor and had made it to about 5cm. Yay! We took our time gathering the last things for the hospital and headed in.
After a brief stop at the store to pick up a plant (so nice to have in the room during labor) and a magazine (to fill the time during labor before the actual delivery), we arrived at the hospital at 7pm. I was definitely needing to breathe through the contractions at that point and even got to ride in a wheelchair to the OB floor. I dropped off the cupcakes I had made that afternoon for the nurses and settled into my room. I have to tell you that from the very moment I got to the room, I asked if an order could be put in for an epidural. I've never felt that I'm a mama who needs to go without meds, and I was worried we would miss the window if we didn't get going on it. Shortly after that, Pete checked me again and I was between 7 and 8cm. Things were moving fast! Before 9pm…and before I was given an epidural…I hit the complete 10cm and my window for meds was closed. I have to honestly say that I wasn't excited when I was told I would have to deliver without meds. It scared me, and I really wondered if I would be able to handle the pain. With Ella, I never made it past 6cm and, therefore, never got to push at all. The opportunity for a VBAC had come, and that did make me happy. I wanted to have the experience of pushing and breathing and being coached by Pete. I wanted to have a chance to push a baby into the world the way women have been doing it for years and years and years.
And push I did. For 2 1/2 hours I pushed. Without meds. That was a lot of work! I really focused on putting all of my energy into the pushing, not yelling or crying or cursing out my husband, as I've heard can easily happen. Instead, I felt incredibly close to Pete through the whole experience. He was an amazing coach. When I was discouraged, he looked right into my eyes and reassured me. I found a lot of strength in that. I also found myself talking to Jesus between contractions and pushing. I know He was giving me a great deal of strength. Everything looked like it was going well until we reached the 2 1/2 hour mark. Then our little one started to show signs of dropping oxygen levels and my cervix began to swell a great deal, to the point that it looked like it may actually be closing again. Pete & I jointly made the decision to do a c-section for the protection of the baby. I was taken down the elevator on a bed, groaning the entire way as super strong contractions ripped through me.
Though I ended up in another c-section, the entire experience was far different than when I had Ella. This time I completely dilated, pushed for a long time, tried many different positions, and really gave it everything I had. I got to experience everything I wanted to with child birth. It was time to get our baby out while he or she was still doing okay. So that's what we did.
My mom made it to the hospital just in time to join us in the OR for the section. Pete stood next to me the entire time, looking over the sheet for the moment our little one would enter the world. I felt great peace in those moments before the birth. I was able to pray for the doctors in the room before the section began (most of whom I knew from the residency) and hummed one of my favorite camp songs about seeking Jesus' face. Everything was perfect as I excitedly awaited the announcement of our little one's arrival. And then it came! Pete proclaimed, "It's a boy!" and we were both ecstatic as images of my dear Pete with his long-awaited son filled my head. I announced to all present that our son's name would be Samuel Thomas Amani Olsen as I held back tears of joy. And then I realized how quiet the room was.
The doctors – our friends – huddled around our Samuel on the warming table while I heard only a small, weak, peep of a cry. It was a tiny sound. Though I felt peace, not concern, I asked one of the doctors to take a small step to the side so I could get my first glimpse of our little one. And that's when I saw the first sign. His body wasn't clenched like Ella had been when she was born. Sam's arms were floppy. I asked Pete to bring him closer so I could see him. I longed for the first real view of my son. When Pete held him close, Samuel opened his eyes and looked right at me. And it was in that tiny instant that I knew it in my heart. Was it my mama instinct? Was it the fact that I had been carrying this beautiful little boy inside me for so many months prior to this moment of introduction? I don't know, but it was instantly clear to me. Our little Samuel has Down syndrome.
I was wheeled into the recovery room while Pete and my mom and the other doctors took Sam up to the NICU to give him a complete exam. I don't know how much time passed before Pete and my doctor, Maria, came through the door, quiet and serious. My thoughts were confirmed in that moment. In an instant, many things changed. But in that same instant, many things were peacefully confirmed within me. God is good. God has a plan. God created our little Samuel, and we were chosen to be his parents. What an honor.
The last 2 1/2 days have been the beginning of journey down what a doctor recognized yesterday as our "new normal." Samuel remains in the NICU while he works through the transition from the warm, safe place of my womb to the outside world. His oxygen levels have needed the most time to adjust. He was most comfortable in a warm incubator without much handling the first 24 hours. We haven't been able to have him in our room. We haven't changed any of his diapers. And I just got the all-clear to try nursing him. So far he's been getting my pumped milk through a feeding tube in his nose. Each little step he's made forward, we've celebrated. Late last night, Pete sat with me as I held him on my chest. His sweet little eyes looked up at me a few times, completely melting every ounce of my heart. Pete held him for a little while, too, and Samuel eventually fell asleep cuddled with his daddy. It was so hard to leave him in the NICU to return to our room. There will soon come a time when we won't have to leave him for a single moment. We're praying that the time comes very, very soon.
I'm now packing and getting ready to head home…without my sweet little boy. First we'll try nursing, though. Pete & I will both be back very often to rock Sammy and I'll nurse him. Miss Ella is excited to see him, too. We tried having her visit him in the NICU two days ago, but it was all a bit too much for her. We're praying Samuel will be discharged on Monday or Tuesday, though we have to keep a very open hand about that in case anything unexpected pops up.
Please pray with us for our little Samuel. Pray that his oxygen levels will get to a good place so he can breathe all on his own. Pray that he will quickly adapt to nursing. Pray that he'll get to be home with us in the next few days. And please pray for Pete and I as we learn what this new beginning will entail and how all of this will draw us forward. Thank you!!

Today, the United States Department of Transportation informed Congressman Bennie G. Thompson (D-MS) that Silver Airways, formerly Gulfstream International, will provide Essential Air Service (EAS) to Mid-Delta Regional Airport in Greenville, Mississippi.
"During my meeting with Secretary Ray LaHood in January of this year, I expressed the critical impact that the EAS program has on the economy of Greenville, Washington County, and the rest of the Mississippi Delta," Thompson said. "I am glad that the Secretary listened and responded with today's announcement. With daily commercial air service to one of the world's largest airports, Hartsfield-Jackson (Atlanta), Mississippi Delta residents will be a short plan ride away from hundreds of destinations throughout the world. The leadership team at Mid-Delta Regional should be commended for the tireless effort that they put into this endeavor."
Greenville will receive 18 weekly round trips over a Greenville-Tupelo-Atlanta routing. The service will use 34-passenger Saab 340 aircraft.
The EAS is a Department of Transportation program that subsidizes air carrier service to small and, in some cases, isolated communities. The EAS program provides subsidies to air carriers for providing service between selected small communities and hub airports. The program was originally established in 1978 as part of airline deregulation to ensure a minimum level of air service to smaller communities that might otherwise lose service because of economic factors.

Question about Craftsman 20 hp 42 in. Deck Lawn Tractor - CA Model
4 year old craftsman 24 hp lawn tractor. New clutch in 2007, also new plugs, filters, fuel filter in recent past.
Posted by sburkins on
This is an automatic, Craftsman Lawn Tractor, model # 917.273622. To increase speed you push a lever forward, pull back the lever to decrease speed. Thanks!
Using your directions it looks like the safety switch was the problem. I broke it while taking it out. Are there any instructions on how to easily install? Thanks!!
Bought a new safety switch, not sure how to install. Any ideas on what, if anything I must disconnect before I can fit it through the opening? Thanks!
Is this machine an "automatic" or hydrostatic drive, or do you have to shift for different speeds? If you have a model number, it would help but not necessary.
after 30 minutes it acts as if it running out of gas. after it cools off it restarts again. replaced air filter,sparkplugs and fuel filter. any help or suggestions.
The is a safety switch located underneath the mower, in the dashboard area. This switch will not pass voltage to the ignition system unless the pedal is depressed, or the deck is not all the way up. However, your culprit is most likely the pto (power take off) switch on the dash that engages the blades. It will not allow the mower to start, if pulled, and if faulty will shut off ignition power when you release the pedal. First. You'll need a volunteer to sit on the mower and operate the controls. Now put the deck down and with the pedal depressed start the engine. Nothing should happen, if it does replace the deck switch Sears part number #176138 mentioned above. Now raise the deck and release the pedal. Again, nothing should happen. Same solution if it does. If nothing happens on both tests the switch is ok. NOW. Behind the dash, find the pto switch, and squeeze the sides, depressing two clips that hold it in the dash. You should now be able to slide it though the dash, wiring attached. Unplug the switch. With pedal depressed, deck up, someone sitting on the seat, start the mower. Now release the pedal (making sure to block the wheels and have the transmission handle is in the neutral position. If the engine continues to run, you found the problem. Replace the PTO switch. Sears part number # 174651. Also, check the plug to the pto, ignition and deck switches for corrosion as this is a common problem, though not likely to cause yours, it could. Good luck, and please let us know the outcome, good or bad. Thanks so much.

What You Should Know About Diabetes
Diabetes interferes with the body's use of food for fuel. When you eat, your body converts food into a substance called glucose, which travels in the blood to the body's cells. Insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas, acts like a key to open the cells and let the glucose inside. In a person with diabetes, either the pancreas does not make insulin (type 1 diabetes), or the body cannot efficiently use the insulin that is made (type 2 diabetes).
More than 90 percent of people with diabetes have type 2, which can occur in children as well as adults. Other types of diabetes include those related to pregnancy, surgery, medications, and other illnesses. While the types of diabetes differ, all may cause the same long-term health problems associated with diabetes, such as heart, kidney, eye, and nerve diseases.

- 65 years old
- Date of birth: Sep 27, 1942
- Date of passing: Mar 30, 2008
|Let the memory of Dith be with us forever
This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, Dith Pran, 65, born on September 27, 1942 and passed away on March 30, 2008. We will remember him forever.
Pran was the interpreter and assistant for a New York Times reporter, Sydney Schanberg, who was also a former colleague of his. Schanberg was doing a report on the end of the Vietnam war in April 1975 where both, North and South Vietnam were being taken over by the communist forces. Pran had a mission, which was to free his family from the war in his country, and move them to the United States. With Schanberg's help, he managed to accomplish that mission, however Pran had to be left behind.
Dith Pran did end up escaping the chaos, four and a half years later. But those four years were what most people would consider hell, if not worse. Dith Pran had to survive in the area called "The Killing Fields."
The area gained its name due to the piles of dead bodies and skeletal remains laid across the dirt grounds. The communist regime of Pol Pot, known as the "Khmer Rouge," were the ones responsible for the deaths of over 7 million people. The atrocities they committed were, and are, unforgivable by any means. They stole the identities of the people of Cambodia by taking away their culture. Nearly making them go insane by having them kill their friends or family. Anyone who showed any signs of being intelligent or having any western cultural influence, were murdered on the spot in cold blood and shells.
Dith Pran managed to survive by acting as a simple, and unintelligent farmer. Only able to eat so little amounts of rice and maybe a small animal or two along the way. After about four years of this cruel routine of being moved around, and working brutal hours of intense labor, Vietamese troops invaded Cambodia. Dith managed to escape during the commotion, to a refugee camp on the border of Thailand. There he sent a message to Sydney who was back in the United States raising awareness of the terrors happening in Cambodia. Soon after they reunited in that refugee camp, and Dith Pran finally escaped the Khmer Rouge.
In America, Dith Pran became a photographer in training for the New York Times, as well as an interpreter for them. Pran and Schanberg also founded the Dith Pran Holocaust Awareness Project, where they gave speeches and public conferences to educate society about the history of the Khmer Rouge regime and raise money to help the survivors in Cambodia, and possibly bring some over to the U.S. to live better lives. However, all things must come to a tragic end. After leaving the war, Pran was fighting for his life again in 2008, where he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. After three months, Pran passed away.
Dith Pran's story was made into an award winning film called "The Killing Fields" (1984). Sydney Schanberg wrote an article called "The Death and Life of Dith Pran" for a magazine which was essentially, the foundation for the movie, and won him the Pulitzer Prize in 1976.
For all of the wonderful things that he has done, and for his bravery, and courage, Dith Pran, you shall be dearly missed.

One tool Lakshmi Narayanan has used to build teamwork is an affair called "annual day," in which top performers come onstage and receive a trophy, often presented by a customer.
The former chief executive of Cognizant Technology Solutions, an American multinational corporation, staged these events at job sites throughout India, at which more than 22,000 employees, family members and customers would attend.
One team won for beating its previous records for delivery, another for fulfilling an order with zero defects, and a third for working around the clock for three days to solve a customer's problem.
"There are no individual heroes," Narayanan says. "Once you put the right team together, they're capable of accomplishing everything."

Newcomers in Hong Kong might be in for some shocks including expensive apartments, pleasantly wide range of under-promoted shops and characteristics that are uniquely Hong Kong. So before visiting Furniture shop in Hong Kong in town, spend several moments to check the following tips.
1. Before leaving home. Be realistic with what to anticipate for the apartment. Even if you are endowed with ample space, measurement of any designated destination for a wooden table, sofa or custom furniture is just the starting point. In addition to that, verify if the furniture fits well inside the entrance door or building's lifts and look if furniture can be assembled indoors. Or you might spend extra to acquire things sorted out, and, worse, spend time, money and energy trying to bring that coveted fixture home.
2. When looking for cheaper options. With the knowledge that shops in Hong Kong are charged exorbitant rates means you possess an idea it ought to be factored in pricing of display goods. Over time of ultra efficient logistics – parts are produced at places where expenses are minimum and transported to showrooms promptly – shop rentals still matter to Dining table Hong Kong. Simply speaking, shops located at prominent addresses are likely planning to sell more expensive fine furniture, whether they're antique or knock off.
Hint: Our shop is located in a nondescript warehouse in Taikoo which, in our opinion, have lower expenses as opposed to those located in Wan Chai's Queens Road East or Horizon Plaza.
3. When Arranging Delivery. Please note that when you have your vision set in one attractive part of furnishing, it's not at all times as easy as wrapping it and set up for delivery. Sometimes display items are, indeed, manufactured for display. Once a purchase is manufactured, a corresponding trigger is sent to a warehouse to arrange delivery, or dexipky26 made furniture, specifications and instructions are handed down. To put it briefly, you might need a much more time before you enjoy your latest home accessory acquisition.
This also means you could possibly pay out extra for the ease of home delivery.
4. When Considering Used Furniture. Some expats (particularly those whose tenure in Hong Kong is short-term) are definitely more practical and consider Office chairs Hong Kong. A basic search across expat portals in the city should show lots of offers, notably in the Chinese New Year season whenever people usually replace "old" with "new" since they welcome the Lunar New Year. However, buyer beware. Although it's likely you'll find plenty of bargains, there is also issues. Paying extra for transport, undiscovered cracks on edges or won't fit into your living room. Once money changes hands, it's understood you accept to unwritten terms: no return, no exchange, you take it as it is.

Some silos were built to last. Trying to poke a hole through one isn't always easy, especially in those reinforced by years of isolation and self-preservation. Jim, a human resource manager just assigned to a new general manager and business unit, found that out.
I coached Jim to help him get the most from his new assignment. I taught him what it means to be a business person instead of just another HR professional with a bucket of HR tools. He learned that if he looked for problems in the operations, he could make a real difference—he just needed to find the opportunities and figure out how to help operations solve the problems. Jim got it. He was excited to show the general manager what he could do.
I encouraged Jim to contact the general manager to learn the business as soon as possible. I told Jim that the general manager probably wouldn't be used getting a call from a human resource manager asking about the business, so Jim should be prepared for that. He should expect to have to push a bit to get the GM to open up and talk shop instead of human resources.
A week or so later, Jim called to tell me how the conversation went.
He said that when he called the general manager, he asked him to tell him about the business and challenges he was facing. All he got was silence on the other end of the line. Jim tried to ask again. The general manager responded that he wasn't sure what he could say that would be relevant to human resource management.
It was a defining moment. The general manager saw Jim in his silo as a person who administers HR programs. Jim had a chance to challenge that perception, but he didn't. He backed down and rephrased his question to suggest they talk about labor costs. You see, Jim wasn't used to having the conversation about the business with the general manager any more than the general manager was used to discussing business with a human resources manager. The general manager didn't think he could have the conversation about the business because he didn't believe Jim could understand or relate to it. And, as far as the general manager was concerned, Jim couldn't do anything about it, anyway. In other words, Jim wasn't relevant to the business.
But Jim could be relevant. The general manager didn't see how because he couldn't know what Jim knew. And Jim wasn't used to fully leveraging his expertise to help operations. That made venturing into business waters kind of scary and kept Jim in his silo.
Years of segregating human resource expertise from operations had created the proverbial silo Jim was trying to breach and he was learning that demolishing it wasn't a simple exercise. He had to take responsibility for taking a whack or two if he expected to change things. But in his exchange with his general manager, Jim missed an opportunity to begin breaking down the wall.
The general manager struggled to see HR's relevance to the business because all he knew about HR were the usual administrative tasks pertaining to recruiting, benefits administration, and performance reviews. What the general manager missed was that Jim knows a whole lot more. Jim understands that sometimes quality and productivity problems happen because people don't know enough about the product they're building. Jim also understands how good supervision can drive good team performance and how bad supervision can drag down production. Jim knows how to help a supervisor with poor team performance fix that. If Jim learns the business, he can identify some of those problems and do something about them to give the general manager better business results. But to do that, he needs to understand what the team needs to accomplish, and why, as well as what's getting in the way so he can identify the opportunities.
So Jim needs to take another shot at learning the business from his general manager. He has to push harder to get his general manager to talk shop. Otherwise, he'll never understand enough to find those opportunities. I told Jim to keep his objectives for the conversation in front of him the next time they talk. At the top of his list should be learning how the business operates, becoming knowledgeable about key measures of success, and finding out what causes the general manager's biggest headaches. I told Jim that when the general manager tries to talk about what he thinks belongs in the HR silo, he needs to push back and let the general manager know that conversation is for another time. Jim needs to tell him that right now he wants to learn how the business works including production bottlenecks, equipment problems, cost concerns, and anything else that's important for him to understand operations.
Jim understands what he needs to do. He's bright, talented, and determined to integrate with operations. I'm confident his next discussion will go differently and start to break down silos for both of them. If he succeeds, Jim can become better able to help his general manager run the business as a true unit partner instead of letting the general manager's views of HR define who he is and limit what he's capable of contributing to the business unit.
Trying it on for fit:
Consider trying to apply pointers I gave to Jim.
- Force the conversation with those you support in operations in order to learn the business inside and out.
- Spend most of your time in the operations looking for business problems to solve whether it's a poor performing individual or team, product rework problem, customer complaint, or other problem impacting business results.
- Learn to consult to operations gathering information and using what you know about workplace behavior, leadership, motivation, employee involvement, learning, and other facets of your expertise to solve problems.

This week we had a first look at the trailer for Star Wars 7, which received over ten million views in a matter of hours. Due for release in December 2015, is it going to be worth waiting for?
A lot of fans were not best pleased when Disney bought the rights to the Star Wars franchise back in October 2012. I have to admit that I rolled my eyes because I'm one of the original cohort who saw it 1977. The original trilogy was my generation's Harry Potter, so when the next trilogy came along with its prequel plot it was already an affront to my teenage self. Jar Jar Binks ruined all three, but the stories were thinly stretched in places as it was. The storyline had to follow a known narrative or the original trilogy wouldn't have made sense, but even then there was some very dead wood. Special effects can do a lot for a movie, but you can put all the makeup in the world on a pig and….
Meantime, George Lucas has been happy to lease venerated characters like Yoda to mobile phone companies for some advertising dollars. The guy's getting old (I mean Lucas, not Yoda), so he's presumably looking to pad out that pension fund.
To me, Disney – or rather the prospect of Disneyfication – was the final nail in the coffin on the Star Wars franchise. We could surely expect more in the way of sickening child-friendly characters like Jar Jar Binks. There was no way on Earth I was going to pay good money to see yet another insult to the boy within.
I've changed my mind. I think Disney is with the light side of the force. Why my change of mind?
The original Star Wars was an old-fashioned tale of good against evil, of a damsel being rescued by the rebellious underdogs, and trusting in one's inner self rather than technology. It was pure mythology. Indeed, I remember the critics panning it at the time for that very reason – "errant knight in space" was the critique.
If there's one studio in the world that's an expert in mythology, it's Disney. Their movies follow classic mythical narratives, and they're amazingly expert at giving them universal appeal – and I do mean universal: they play equally as well to audiences in Europe as they do in the Middle East or Asia. Few studios produce movies with such consistent cross-cultural appeal.
Having seen the trailer I can see that R2-D2's beach ball replacement looks a little too cute. But then the original little guy was cute in his time. And I'll excuse the beach ball, because in my warped sci-fi mind he looks a little like the hilariously troublesome alien pet in Dark Star.
It may be too early to say, but I think Disney is the knight in shining armour we have been waiting for. A new hope…

L from Viva Carlos asks: What horse related or equestrian related piece of knowledge did you believe was true for an extended period of time that turned out to not be true?
I have been lucky enough to ride with a lot of trainers in my lifetime so far. Some better than others and I honestly don't think that any of them have told me anything or even let me believe anything too sideways for very long when it comes to my riding or general horsemanship. I will consider myself lucky in that regard.
I think the worst thing that I was convinced to buy into (literally) was that wool saddles are the only way to go. I was so eager to go along with what trainer at the time encouraged that I hopped right onto the County bandwagon. I can't stomach adding up how much money I lost in that situation between the "custom" saddles that crippled my horse, vet bills, and fitting fees on top of the loss when trying to sell the pos saddles to purchase something that would work for both me and my horse.
For me personally not only will I now never buy a wool flocked saddle – I think County as a brand/company is the actual devil. I am not saying that all of the reps are bad people because I know that isn't the case but I had a HORRIBLE experience and will never put one on any of my horses backs again because of it. I understand that not all people feel that way and we all have unique experiences.
Now I try my best to make independent educated decisions and am hyper aware of people trying to encourage me to get on board with things that will benefit them somehow.
What about you? Anything (big or small) that you believed that ended up being untrue or wrong?

Sam & Alex are both fellow Paladins, but despite having spent several years on the same tiny campus, they didn't start dating until after graduation – but better late than never, right?! These two actually bonded by attending quite a few weddings of other Furman couples together, including one that I photographed back in June of 2015 (Katie and John, the bride and groom from that wedding, actually attended Sam and Alex's big day too – I love it when things come full circle!)
Sam & Alex's wedding was sweet, Christ-centered, and full of joy. The backdrop for their day was the beautiful Barn at Blueberry Hill in Elkin, NC, a lovely rustic venue with beautiful views, and a sweet outdoor ceremony space. I love the free-standing doors that frame the aisle! After the ceremony, everyone reconvened in the reception space, a string-light-filled red barn which was an excellent space to dance the night away.
Sam & Alex – congratulations on your beautiful wedding and thank you for letting us be a part of it! We had a blast capturing your day and wish you all the best as you start this next chapter of your life together.

In order to have a popular, well-read blog, you have to blog on a consistent basis. That's just the way it is. I didn't make the rules, I'm just repeating them! Writing blog posts is not always easy because, let's face it, sometimes you're just not motivated. Especially after you've been doing it a while.
I love blogging, but sometimes I just don't feel like it. Know what I mean? When that happens, I have a few tips I use to get myself back in the groove.
My Quick Motivational Tips:
- Remember your area of expertise. Blog about a favorite topic in your niche that you actually know something about. You've all seen it. The blogger that is writing about something outside their expertise and you can tell they are just putting words to the paper that don't resonate with their own self much less their readers. For example, if you are telling people how to write the best, most lucrative e-book on the planet, be sure you've already written one! Writing about a familiar topic will keep your motivation in high gear! Your good energy will shine through!
- Visualize your ideal reader. Think about who they are, what they look like and why they want to read your blog. Write the blog post to them. It's so easy to stay motivated when you feel like you are giving someone the information they need and want!
- Use a schedule. I know. Some of you work-at-home types simply hate to think about schedules. That's OK but if you are having difficulty with motivation and not getting it done, you really should give it a whirl. Knowing that one hour a day (or two) is set aside for blogging will help you sit down and get it done. Trust me.
- Keep a notepad handy. Ideas for blog posts will come to you in the car, in the grocery line, while walking the dog, you name it. They can come at the most inopportune times. But they do show up! Write them down as soon as possible and before long, you'll find your ideas far exceed your blogging needs!
- Keep moving. The late Conrad Hilton said it best. "Success seems to be connected with action. Successful people keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit." The point here is to keep moving. Blog when you don't "feel" like it. Blog because you know being consistent will produce results. Just keep moving!
Motivation is sometimes nothing more than establishing a good habit and sticking with it. Make blogging a habit!
Happy (motivated) blogging!
