our work: lillybit uptown diaper clutch
Ampersand Design Studio
We're excited to share one of our recent jobs: the Lillybit Uptown Diaper Clutch! We were fortunate to get connected awhile back to another two-gal business duo here in Kansas City who have a line of chic diaper bags. Their diaper clutch is perfect for toting a few diapers, some wipes and other small essentials...times when you don't want to haul around your whole big diaper bag. Plus, it looks just like a stylish little purse. Now that we're both moms, we can appreciate the need for such an accessory! Anyway, they needed some surface patterns for their new bags and that's where we came in (have we mentioned that designing patterns is our favorite kind of work?). We've created several fun patterns for their new line including the one shown above which is the first of our prints for them. This particular black and gray damask bag is especially exciting because it is has been selected by Pampers as one of their "Gifts to Grow" items. This means that if you collect your Pampers points by saving the codes from any Pampers product you purchase and then enter that info on the Pampers.com website, you can redeem them for the damask clutch! This is actually the first gift in the Pampers program that is just for moms (most items are for babies and kids) so start saving those points for early September when it gets added to the Pampers site.

Arco is the cuddle of GS Alto Garda, and is where Giro del Trentino was born. Its Casinò is the traditional permanance of Giro del Trentino Melinda's race start. After hosting the TTT finish in 2012, 2014 and 2015, Arco will stage its first start since 2013
A brand-new uphill finale for Giro del Trentino Melinda, that had never arrived in Anras. On the other hand, the Italian race is not new to Tirol. The last time #GdTM crossed the Austrian border was in 2013, when the 37th edition started with two half-stages in Lienz. Vincenzo Nibali earned the overall honors that year.
Giro del Trentino Melinda returns to Austria after three years to live its first uphill finish. It's an unseen one, in the small village of Anras, and it will come at the end of a 220 km effort, and a 4 km final drag at a 7% average gradient. The stage travels through the Provinces of Trento and Bolzano, making it a lumpy and weary route, rising uphill for most of the time from Trento on, even though the difference will certainly be made on the final sting.

Mum's the word for the Duchess of Cambridge as the nation awaits a royal baby
THE Duchess of Cambridge was back in the bosom of her family last night as the nation waited eagerly for news of the royal baby.
In a surprise move, Kate left Kensington Palace on Friday to spend the weekend resting quietly by her mother Carole's side at the Middleton family home in Bucklebury, Berkshire.
Police cars were spotted outside the £4.7million mansion yesterday. Officers are understood to be ready to escort the pregnant Duchess to St Mary'sHospital, Paddington, where she is due to give birth any day now.
The 31-year-old mother-to-be has said her baby is due in mid-July but her decision to decamp to Berkshire suggests that she is not expecting it to arrive this weekend.
As the media frenzy outside the west London hospital reached fever pitch, Kate opted to leave for the tranquillity of the countryside and the Georgian splendour of her parents' Grade II listed pile, purchased earlier this year, which has 18 acres of grounds, a swimming pool and tennis court.
It is a welcome change as Kate remains confined to tiny Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace while her new home, apartment 1A, is being renovated.
A royal insider said: "Being back at home in Bucklebury is the one place where Kate can truly relax, especially with all the building work going on at Kensington Palace. She knows her mum will take good care of her and William can also rest assured that she's in safe hands.
"Kate is very family orientated so it is only natural that she would want to spend as much time as possible with her parents before the baby arrives." Prince William left Anglesey on Friday to be by his wife's side. The 31-year-old search and rescue pilot had spent the previous few days on 24-hour call at RAF Valley.
Yesterday he joined his brother Harry, 28, at a charity polo match at Sydmonton, Hampshire, just down the road from Bucklebury, to raise money for the Tusk Trust, of which he is patron, and Harry's African Aids charity Sentebale.
Kate is very family orientated so it is only natural that she would want to spend as much time as possible with her parents before the baby arrives
Today the brothers are due to take part in another match at Cirencester, Gloucestershire, to raise money for another two of their charities, WellChild and Child Bereavement UK. Cirencester is just 45 miles from Bucklebury so William will be less than an hour's drive away should Kate go into labour.
A contingency plan is in place for her to give birth at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, if she doesn't have time to get to London but royal aides stressed that ideally she wants to have the baby at St Mary's.
Like William's mother Princess Diana, she is hoping for a natural birth unless that is impossible for medical reasons.
Kate is very close to her parents, particularly her mother. She is said to speak to Carole, 58, at least once a day and has consulted her on every aspect of her pregnancy.

Deborah Solomon? A Waste of My Time./
Yeah, yeah, okay. I know blogs are supposed to be specific and targeted and mine rambles all over when it should stick to history or beer. But.......... when a girl's gotta rant, she's gotta rant.
And here's a rantable subject if I ever came across one. Deborah Solomon writes a column for the magazine section of the Sunday New York Times titled "Questions For," in which she poses questions to various "famous" people. Or not. In last Sunday's opinion section, the newspaper's public editor revealed that Solomon routinely "reworks" her interviews after the fact. The column typically contains quotations taken out of context and questions that she never posed.
Worse yet, her bosses at the Times knew this, but failed to alert readers. According to the magazine's editor Gerald Marzorati, that's okay because Solomon's column is intended as "entertainment." Oh? That's news to me. I've always read Solomon's column the way it was presented: as accurate representations of actual interviews.
On the surface, this feels like a rehash of the Jayson Blair episode of a few years ago: Blair was a Times reporter who regularly faked his sources, his quotes, and his reporting. When that story broke, his supervisors struggled to contain the damage. Heads, as they say, rolled. The Blair affair came off as a case of bureaucratic bumbling induced, perhaps, by lethargy or incompetence.
The Solomon ugliness, however, feels more like arrogant indifference induced by -- a kind of smug condescension. As if various editors at the Times are trying to woo the snarky YouTube crowd: If you're clever and hip, you knew Solomon was having fun at her interviewees' expense. If you took her text literally, well, you're kinda stupid and definitely unhip. Maybe I'm old (well, okay, I am. I've over fifty).
But I ain't stupid. If Solomon couldn't figure out how to do good interviews without resorting to deceit, then she's simply a bad reporter. I sure won't read waste time reading anything else written by her. Unless, of course, she turns to fiction. I'm always up for an escape into make-believe.

OR1™ Veterinary Medicine
The development of minimally invasive surgery in the 1990s has fundamentally changed the work in the OR. However, as a result of the increasingly complex technologies, it quickly became clear that these new techniques could not be optimally used in the existing surgical workspaces.
With the integrated operating room OR1™, KARL STORZ in the late 1990s developed a solution to this problem that has defined the state of the art ever since. Efficient and intuitive operation, simple data recording and documentation, and unhindered data exchange within and outside of the OR represent the "magic triangle" that redefines ergonomics.

The good kind of conspiracy theory
Yesterday Labour's David Parker gave a speech to some of Labour's strongest, most loyal supporters in Wellington. According to The Standard's Mike Smith and the Dominion Post's Vernon Small it outlined some of the specific "hands-on" economic policies Labour was considering, including tax credits for exporters and targeted public works, along with Labour's other previously announced economic policy commitments.
Mike was impressed, saying:
It was good to see Labour getting on to the front foot. It looks like there will be a real economic alternative on offer through to the next election. The other good thing about the event was the debate and discussion afterwards. It looks like the policy formation will be open and the key players receptive to good ideas.
But Mike and others across the leftie blogopshere had decried Labour earlier in the week for, in their view, abandoning its base by way of a 100 word anecdote in a recent David Shearer speech, and threatening to become an unprincipled pack of National-plus-epsilon nihilists in red costumes.
Taking these events together, I have two points:
- It looks like Labour does have an ideology and an alternative vision and is consulting its base and all that good stuff after all. Phew! This was, of course, pretty predictable;
- Hopefully we can all use this sequence of events to learn the folly of hitting the panic button too early, as I think some did this week.

5 signs you're not an influential communicator
If your colleagues don't respond to your messages and balk at speaking up during meetings—or if they often interrupt you—it's time to make adjustments.
With leadership comes responsibility.
As a leader you often gain respect and can wield influence—but that isn't always the case.
A staggering number of leaders suffer illusory superiority—thinking they're much more influential than they really are. In many cases, people aren't just failing to exert the clout they need to drive change; they could be undermining or even sabotaging their own influence.
Concerned that your messages are missing the mark? Here are five signs your communication efforts are not resonating:
1. Colleagues aren't acting, responding or following.
When leaders communicate to team members, they're typically looking for an action or response. The proof of success lies in whether your employees are following your lead.
For example, are they acting on recommendations or advice you've given? Are they demonstrating a lack of engagement and productivity, doing minimal work to get by?
You might be communicating what's required, but if the results aren't there, the exercise is worthless. You aren't showing the ability to influence.
Step back and review your own communications. If your colleagues don't understand what you're trying to say, they will struggle to act. Check your jargon, solidify your main points, and put employees at the front of your communication.
Consider the value your listeners will receive. Is it clear what actions you're expecting as a result of your communication? Are you tailoring and personalizing your message to that individual or group of employees?
Find a trusted colleague to be your checkpoint. Continually request feedback on how you communicate. No one enjoys criticism, but critical feedback helps you evolve, grow and fine-tune vital leadership skills.
Finally, consider your delivery. Are you credible in the way you convey messages? Is your writing typo-free? When speaking, pay attention to how you stand, use body language and express enthusiasm.
2. Employees aren't responding quickly, frequently—or at all.
Are your emails too long, poorly structured or just plain confusing? If you're cramming multiple key points into one communique without clearly explaining the gist, employees will ignore you.
The growing millennial and Gen Z populations in the workplace are estimated to have attention spans of just six to eight seconds. Beyond that, everyone is busy. So, get straight to the point.
Also, don't neglect face time or direct communication. Minimize the risk of miscommunication by picking up the phone or meeting someone in person.
3. Employees aren't speaking up during meetings.
Communication is a two-way street.
If the only voice on the floor is yours, only your needs are met. Communicating a message that only focuses on your expectations will not influence anyone to act. Ask open-ended questions on different channels to spur dialogue and receive fresh insight.
Of course, not all employees are confident speaking publicly. Cater to introverts by offering different forums outside the meeting room, such as an email follow-up or designating a feedback space on your intranet.
4. Employees frequently interrupt or talk over you.
When people interrupt, it seems unprofessional or rude. It's their issue, not ours, right?
Not necessarily. The blame is often on the speaker rather than the individual interrupting.
For example, have you taken too long to get to the point? Perhaps you don't pause or allow time for your listeners to respond, engage or ask questions? Or is it difficult for your team to follow you and they're interrupting for clarification?
The most influential communicators understand that persuasion often involves saying less—and listening more. Apply this principle, and adapt your communications to your listeners' expectations. Pause to listen and give others time to speak.
If you get interrupted, view it as a good thing. Evaluate why they've interrupted. Is it a friendly reminder for you to get back on track, or is it an exhortation to get to the point?
If they're asking for clarification, rephrase your words accordingly. Each interruption is an opportunity to learn and develop as a communicator.
5. Colleagues are checking out before you've made your key points.
You can't influence anyone if you can't deliver your message.
Time management in communication is essential, and it all comes down to preparation. If you plan, prepare and practice, you'll engage your listeners and land your message.
Whatever message you're about to deliver, establish the key points you want to get across and the actions you want your colleagues to take. Identify the needs of your listeners; home in on whatever they need to know to take action. Craft your message around these points.
Regardless of the medium, respect your listeners' time.
Finally, don't underestimate the power of the follow-up. Even if it's just an email of bullet points that highlight the major issues you want to convey, it's a good idea to hammer home your message a second time—just in case they checked out the first time around.

Last week I wrote about Teflon brands. Think K-Mart, McDonalds, Microsoft, Tom Cruise... In the old days they were everywhere. Shiny and huge, impossible to ignore.
No matter what we might feel, they controlled the messaging. Tom Cruise's publicist was famous for controlling access to the star, even approving and helping pick out questions he could be asked.
We might have wished for more, for something better, but they managed what we could see so closely, it was hard to see inside.
Now these Teflon brands are wearing out. We see pockmarks, pimples and stains. Microsoft can no longer cover up a shoddy update with chic advertising. The truth is still there, still being discussed and seen by all.
And we see huge brands easily falter, telling STORIES that just don't match their STUFF. When they tell us their french fries are healthy, or their software's the best... Like the hotels who ask us to re-use our towels, saving water, saving earth. And yet they leave the room's air cranked down to 60 in July. Well, we just don't believe their mere Story anymore...
And their falter is your opportunity. Because you aren't a giant corporation, pretending to care. You're a real person, filled with compassion and skill.
So show us who you are. Give us STORIES we can believe in, then back them up with action. If you see a good chance, go for it! No need to be perfect. The world's tired of Teflon. Show us how you're made of truth. Show us how you're made of steel!

The monthly WASPA rankings have been released with some big movements from players who got a large number of WASPA tournaments under their belt over January. Unfortunately, FISTF rankings are a little less reliable in being updated so none of the results from the recent Australian Grand Prix have yet been added to their rankings (the last FISTF update was January 6) so look for next month's rankings to see how things have moved in the world of FISTF.

Kazuo Ishiguro was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature on Thursday.
The prize committee in Sweden said his works uncovered "the abyss beneath our illusory sense of connection with the world."
Ishiguro has written eight novels since he started working as a full-time writer in the early eighties. Several of his novels have been made into movies (including one that was nominated for eight Oscars), and he's written some screenplays himself.
The award was announced on The Nobel Prize Twitter this morning:
"If you mix Jane Austen and Franz Kafka, then you have Kazuo Ishiguro in a nutshell," Sara Danius, permanent secretary of the Swedish Academy, said on Thursday when awarding Ishiguro. "But you have to add a little bit of Marcel Proust into the mix. Then you stir, but not too much, then you have his writings."
Here's everything you should know about Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro and his novels:
Source: British Council Literature
His eight books are:
"A Pale View of Hills" (1982)
"An Artist of the Floating World" (1986)
"The Remains of the Day" (1989)
"The Unconsoled" (1995)
"When We Were Orphans" (2000)
"Never Let Me Go" (2005)
"The Buried Giant" (2015)
Source: British Council Literature
His most renowned novel, "The Remains of the Day," was made into a film in 1993 starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson.
The story is told from a first-person point of view. The narrator is Stevens, a butler in Britain, who recalls his life in diary form while the action progresses through to the present day. The novel starts in the years leading to World War II, and advances to the 1950s. Most of the novel focuses on Stevens' relationship with a former colleague, the housekeeper Miss Kenton.
The film adaptation received eight Academy Award nominations, including acting nominations for both Hopkins and Thompson, who lost to Tom Hanks ("Philadelphia") and Holly Hunter ("The Piano"), respectively. Hugh Grant and Christopher Reeve also appear in the film, which lost its best-picture nomination to "Schindler's List."
Ishiguro's 2005 novel, "Never Let Me Go," was made into a film starring Keira Knightley, Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield.
"Never Let Me Go" takes place in late 1990's England. At first, it seems like a simple story of three students at boarding school. But as the novel goes on, it's revealed to the reader and the characters that the lives of ordinary citizens outside the school are prolonged through state-sanctioned human cloning.
The clones, who are the students, grow up in a special school, separate from the outside world. When the students become young adults, they start to donate their vital organs to ordinary citizens. And they continue to donate their organs until they "complete," a better term for death, which usually occurs after donating three or four organs.
The chilling film adaptation, directed by Mark Romanek, came out in 2010. In 2016, a miniseries based on "Never Let Me Go" was released in Japan.
Ishiguro wrote the screenplay for the 2005 film "The White Countess," starring the late Natasha Richardson. The film is set in 1930s Shanghai, where a blind American diplomat develops a relationship with a young Russian refugee.
In 2003, he wrote the screenplay for "The Saddest Music in the World." Set in Winnipeg during the Great Depression, a beer baroness organizes a contest with a $25,000 prize to find the saddest song in the world.
"A Profile of Arthur J. Mason," broadcast in 1984 and "The Gourmet," broadcast in 1986.
Source: British Council Literature
A number of Ishiguro's novels are set in the past, and memory is a common theme throughout his work.
All of his novels except one (2015's "The Buried Giant") are written in first-person narrative, and he's not afraid to show and emphasize his character's flaws. His novels also tend to conclude without any sense of resolution, often leaving his characters' troubles throughout the story buried in the past.
In a statement after Ishiguro's Nobel Prize announcement, the committee wrote:
"Ishiguro's writings are marked by a carefully restrained mode of expression, independent of whatever events are taking place. At the same time, his more recent fiction contains fantastic features."

Searches and retrieves data from Gigya's Data Store (DS) using an SQL-like query. For security reasons this method is not available for client side SDKs, only for server side SDKs. SQL queries are converted into Gigya's proprietary query language. SQL injection attacks are not possible because queries are both created by the customer and then converted by Gigya.
A short delay is possible between the writing of account data to the data base and its availability in queries.
Note: If you plan on integrating the DS, we highly recommend reading the Data Store Guide.
The DS is a premium platform that requires separate activation. If the DS is not part of your site package please contact your Gigya Customer Engagement Executive or email email@example.com.
Query Syntax Specification
Gigya queries use the same syntax rules as SQL, however not all standard SQL key words are available.
- When querying for string values, value must be wrapped in double quotes. e.g., SELECT * FROM data.music WHERE guitar = "Fender".
- When querying for Integer (and other non-textual fields) values, value must not be wrapped in quotes. e.g., SELECT * FROM data.userAccounts WHERE age = 42.
- Unsupported SQL syntax in the query string (e.g., HAVING) will produce an error.
- The query string clauses must be ordered in the following way*:
- Select clause
- From clause
- Where clause
- Filter clause
- Group By clause
- Order By clause
- Start clause Or/And Limit clause
- Deleted objects do not appear in queries.
- Encrypted fields are decrypted during searches but comparison operators (>, >=, <, <=) and regex expressions are not available on these fields. The Contains keyword can be used for case-insensitive searches on encrypted fields but does not support partial strings.
- Example queries and responses can be viewed at DS.search Examples.
select - The "select" statement accepts a comma separated list of fields or objects to retrieve. Acceptable values for this statement are:
- Field names, specifying the complete path, i.e. data.album.photo.photoTitle_t. Specifying partial fields names (data.album) will return all the fields in the path.
- Object names, specifying an object name, i.e. user_likes will return all the fields in the user_likes object.
- Partial field names (fields that contain only a part of the path to sub-objects, i.e. data.album) - will retrieve everything below that path.
- * - will retrieve every field in the schema.
- count(*) - Returns the number of objects for a particular object type in the data store. The result is given in the response as a single value inside the "data" field.
as - create an alias (temporary title) for the returned object or field. 'Select data.track.title as song...' will return a field called track.song containing the values of data.track.title. Example:
// Query SELECT data.music.trackName AS Track // Result { "results": [ {"track": {"song": "I will follow"} }, {"track": {"song": "Into the Heart"} }, {"track": {"song": "The Ocean"} }, {"track": {"song": "A Day Without Me"} }, {"track": {"song": "Shadows and Trees"} } ], "objectsCount": 5, "totalCount": 1840, "statusCode": 200, "errorCode": 0, "statusReason": "OK", "callId": "2222" }
- sum(), min(), max(), avg(), sum_of_squares(), variance(), std() - Mathematical functions, must all be performed on the same numeric field. Fields with null values will be ignored.
The name of the field on which the function is to be performed must be entered in the brackets. For example: 'Select min(track) from data.music'.
- sum - provides a total for the field in the brackets.
- min/max - minimum/maximum value for the field. If no values are found, min will return "infinity" and max will return "-infinity".
- avg - average value of the field.
- variance - the extent that the field's values vary.
- std - standard deviation, the likelihood that values vary.
from - Name of the data source. Only one data source is supported. Queries on objects in the Data Store (DS.search) must specify the object "type" classification as defined in the DS.store method.
where - The "where" clause defines conditions for selecting items from the collection. Supported operators:
- > , >=, <, <= , = , != - the left operand must be a data field name (with a proper suffix letter) and the right operand must be a constant of the same type as the field. For example: "where track.# >= 18 ".
- Only = and != can be used with encrypted fields.
- and , or
- contains, not contains - may be used only on text (string) fields and arrays.
- Text (string) fields - support standard full text search capabilities. Contains is not case-sensitive. The left operand must be a text field name and the right operand must be a constant string. You can search for a specific word within the string, for example: WHERE data.about_t CONTAINS "music" . Underscores are treated as separators between words. Contains cannot be used to locate words within encrypted fields (you must enter the full string) and is case insensitive.
- Arrays - the left operand must be an array field name and the right operand must be a constant of the same type as the array values. The array field name must have a suffix denoting the type of the arrays values. For example: WHERE data.hobbies_s CONTAINS "swimming" .
Note: You can only search words that are part of a sentence, you cannot search for parts of a word.
- in() - only retrieve items if the field contains one of the list values. For example: 'select * from data.music where track.album_artist in ("Elvis", "Beatles", "Santana")' will return tracks recorded by the specified artists.
- is null , is not null
- not
- regex ('') - defines a search term using regex formatting. The regex syntax can be found in: Regular Expression Language Reference. Regex patterns cannot be used on encrypted fields.
order by - The "order by" clause specifies a list of fields by which to sort the result objects.
limit - Using the "limit" clause, you may specify the maximum number of returned result objects. If not specified, the default is 300. The maximum limit value accepted is 10000. If the search is sent with openCursor = true, limit is not guaranteed.
start - The "start" clause (not an SQL standard clause) may be used for paging. The clause specifies the start index from which to return result objects.
The 'select - from - where - order by' query creates an (internal) indexed list of objects. By using the start & limit clauses, you will receive a subset of this list, starting with the start index and ending with start+limit index.
Note: When implementing paging, there is no guarantee that there will be no duplications or that recently added data will show up in the query results.
- Always prefer accessing data objects directly using their IDs (with ds.get) rather than using search, whenever possible. Accessing data objects directly using their OIDs is faster and optimal for run-time.
- After data is published to the DS, building the indexes is done asynchronously for performance reasons, and may take up to one second to complete.
- Please note, when using a cursor, the number of results in a batch (limit) is not guaranteed.
- When querying for large numbers of results (>500) it is Best Practice to use the openCursor and then the cursorId with the nextCursorId value rather than attempting to page through results using timestamps of the user records.
Query Optimization
Below are a few points to note regarding query optimization:
- Query execution is based on clause position and is executed from left to right.
Place clauses that have the greatest impact on records returned at the beginning of your SQL statement. For example, to retrieve a list of male users over the age of 25:
SELECT * FROM accounts where profile.gender="m" AND profile.age > 25
SELECT * FROM data.userAccounts where gender="male" AND age > 25
This is because filtering first by gender automatically reduces the result set by half, so the server only needs to run the next filter on half of the overall population.
- A NOT clause (NOT or !) is executed on a single statement immediately to it's right, after analyzing the statement. A single statement can hold several conditions inside parentheses.
- Date ranges are calculated much more efficiently using a timestamp field rather than a date field.
- Use of regex is computationally intensive and can significantly increase response time.
- AND clauses take precedence over OR clauses (i.e., AND clauses are executed before OR clauses).
- Use parentheses to modify default precedence (e.g., to execute an OR operation before an AND operation).
When running long queries (>5,000 records returned), it's best practice to paginate your results using cursors. If you do not use cursors, results are limited to a total of 5,000 records per query (not just per page).
To use cursors, during the first request, pass query=<query to execute> and openCursor=true. The response will include the nextCursorId field, containing a cursor ID to be used in the next request. On subsequent requests, pass cursorId=<last response's nextCursorId> and do not submit the query again. The absence of the nextCursorId field in a response indicates the end of the result set.
When using openCursor, you cannot use 'START'.
Request URL

|A SQL-like query specifying the data to retrieve. Please refer to the Query language specification section above.
An HMAC_SHA1 signature proving that the search call is in fact coming from your client application, in order to prevent fraud. Follow the instructions in Constructing a Signature using the following base-string: query + "_" + expTime . When using cursors, this parameter should only be sent with the initial request and omitted from subsequent requests.
This parameter is required only when calling the search method from client side (i.e., Mobile SDKs)
The GMT time when the querySig parameter should expire. The expected format is the Unix time format (i.e., the number of seconds since Jan. 1st 1970). Gigya checks the time when the search request is received. If the time succeeds expTime, the request is considered forged.
This parameter is required only when calling the search method from client side (i.e., Mobile SDKs)
|When set to true, the search response will include, in addition to the first page, another field named nextCursorId, which is used to fetch the next batch of results. This parameter should only be used on the first request and later should be removed from the request. When openCursor is true, the Limit clause sets the number of results returned in the batch.
Note: You cannot use a cursor if you have a 'group by' or when using 'start'.
|The cursor ID that contains the nextCursorId value received in the first search call. Note: You cannot pass both cursorId and query on the same request - cursorId brings the next page for the search for which it was opened. Also, the time between search requests using a cursorId must not exceed 5 minutes.
Note: Each request should contain a different cursorId obtained from the response of the previous request (not the first) using the nextCursorId field. The exception to this rule is when a request fails or when a particular result set needs to be resent; in this case, resend the same cursorID (as long as it has not expired) to receive its associated result set.
|The timeout for the request (in milliseconds). Default value is 20000 (20 seconds). Maximum allowed value is 60000 (60 seconds).
Authorization Parameters
Each REST API request must contain identification and authorization parameters.
Some REST APIs may function without these authorization parameters, however, when that occurs, these calls are treated as client-side calls and all client-side rate limits will apply. In order to not reach client-side IP rate limits that may impact your implementation when using server-to-server REST calls, it is Recommended Best Practice to always sign the request or use a secret. A non-exhaustive list of REST APIs that this may apply to are as follows:
- accounts.login
- socialize.login
- accounts.notifyLogin
- socialize.notifyLogin
- accounts.finalizeRegistration
- accounts.linkAccounts
Please refer to the Authorization Parameters section for details.
Response Data
|An array of data objects retrieved from the DS.
|The number of objects returned in the "data" array.
|The total number of object that satisfy the query in the DB. This is useful for knowing how many objects are in the DB, when fetching limited amount using the "limit" parameter.
|Used to fetch the next batch of results. This parameter is not returned on the last batch of results, its absence means that the result set is finished.

Mythology is absolutely necessary for our happiness. It's been used for centuries as a way for human beings to make sense of this world, and can offer a framework by which individuals can live their lives to a certain moral code—and ultimately, in peace.
Superheroes are a big deal today. When I grew up, superheroes were a huge deal. I realize now that I lived by those mythologies, and they kept me on track in my life. It's not historical fact that we often need but fantastical metaphor. The desire to find an exciting and believable modern myth led me to create GIANTS.
'Playing god' is my main theme in GIANTS. One of the main characters plays god by controlling people by force, another plays god by setting people free. But there's another force to deal with in this story: God itself. This 'god' is my representation of an element that is bigger than us, one that we cannot and should not understand but – like a natural disaster – one we must simply endure the effect of. It's not something we can fight and win, the best we can do is escape its wrath. This highlights how much we don't actually know, and cannot know—raising further questions about what might be in store for us once this life has run it's course. How exciting!
In my visual storytelling, occasionally I'll have a big wide establishing shot or dramatic background shot. But just as my characters dictate their own environment, they also dictate the nature of my compositions. Characters who have the strength to change the tone of their surroundings are those who are also well worth telling a story about.
I believe in finding the look of my characters through artistic exploration on the page. The script describes the actions of a character, and also puts forth a 'feel'. How should we feel when we see that character? This feeling is a core piece of information, because as I work through various ideas for shapes and forms of the new design, I'm attempting to really feel the spirit of that character. Once I do, then I have the design. But until I do, the process must continue.
As the characters build, and the dynamics between them become richer, the world in which they exist begins to truly come alive. If it's real to me then it can be real to my readers. If I'm inspired by it day to day, then perhaps the story offers a useful metaphor—and if for me, then why not for others?
Creating new, engaging and worthwhile mythology is a massive challenge. Our lives deserve challenge, and we need our mountains to climb so I aim, in my work, to inspire readers to have the courage to climb their own personal mountains and manage their expectations of the journey. We are not perfect. My characters are far from perfect, and it's often the flaws in our characters (both in fiction and in reality) that put us in the most difficult situations, presenting us with our biggest challenges in the form of crisis. Crisis forces us to face real danger, but it also represents opportunity – by giving us no choice but to take action – and it's that very action that we take at crisis points that ultimately defines us and builds each of our characters. This is true of our lives, and true of the characters I attempt to write.
GIANTS is a story about us. Our lives, losses, victories and reflections when faced with a crisis of truly epic proportion, wrapped in a fantastical metaphor of words and pictures. Myth-making is a centuries-old tradition that I'm proud to have a part in maintaining. It's also a lot of fun—you should try it!

SiriusXM Technical Update
There is a lot happening with SiriusXM right now, and the timing of this constriction may be very good. The markets will start to see more action and more volume as summer comes to a close. We are looking at a strong auto sector, and looking at a company that is executing quite well. SiriusXM seems to have the proverbial ducks in a row right now.
The volume is still light, but the consolidation is keeping us within striking distance of a good move up. The back and forth on price action has spread the resistance points out a bit. The wall that existed at about $3.75 is now less strong, but we have a second hurdle at $3.78. I have a short term price target of $3.75 with a watchful eye on $3.60. My mid term upside target is $3.84. It is my belief that it will take volume over 50 million to really test this level.
What we have are plenty of players that could have gotten in or out at current levels. That means we are getting ready to move. My suspicion is that the move will be up.
We want to see volume begin to pick up on small moves here.
The EMA's are improving slightly with the removal of a caution flag. We still have two warning flags, and a danger sign of a third, but we are also seeing that a close at current levels or higher could remove a warning flag as well. Watch the volume and watch the $3.70 level. I suspect Monday will bring a low of about $3.67 and a high of about $3.74.

Well, it was not "your" ordinary Turkey Trot. I skipped the official Turkey trot here in Highlands Ranch yesterday and went for my own version of a Thanksgiving Run. The weather was pretty much perfect for a run. Temperatures were at 60 degrees when I left my house and there was only a little wind going. I wasn't sure how far I would want to go and so just picked a route where I would have many options to adjust the distance as needed. I should have brought some water along for the run, but I did not and so I felt quite thirsty when I came home after 11 miles. The route I picked turned out to be very hilly in the end and I felt the effort for sure, but it's all good. [Read more…]

My Next Marathon – Little Rock Marathon 2015
So, I set my eyes on the next marathon and decided to run the Little Rock 2015 Marathon in Arkansas. Now, Arkansas might not necessarily be the most interesting state, but one of my goals in life is to visit all 50 US states before I turn 50 and since I do not know what else to do in Arkansas, why not run a marathon?! I am currently at 45 states with my count and have only 5 left to go. Arkansas is on that list of 5 states I want to visit, so there you have it. The Little Rock Marathon became quite "famous" this year (2014) because of some crazy weather conditions and I really hope that 2015 will be very different in a good way. I heard that the race has been very well organized in the past and that is always something a runner will appreciate. [Read more…]
Polar Vortex Running
I do not know why the media is now labeling every cold front to be a Polar Vortex, but I guess it sounds to cool they use it until they find something new to call it. Anyway, yesterday morning it was 52 degrees when I went for my run, today it was a whopping 10 degrees when I went running. And tomorrow the forecast shows even lower temperatures. Not fun, but I still like to go running and so I will have to bundle up just a little more then I guess. Fortunately I do not have problems breathing in the cold and I really enjoy being out there – even though I might not necessarily say just nice words when talking about it. [Read more…]

Fees: You Might Be Losing More Than You Think/
Fees, nobody likes them. Everywhere in life these dreaded additional costs follow us around, from the additional charges on your hydro bill, to environmental fees when you buy a laptop, and of course the banks hitting you with a multitude of fees.
When it comes to your investment portfolio your ultimate goal is to grow your money. However, the costs associated to your choice of investments may very well be eating away at your potential growth and eroding your chances of achieving a positive return. Think of fees as a loss on your investment. Your investments must grow enough during the year to cover this fee just so you can break even for the year. The higher your investment fees, the harder it is to grow your money over the long-term.
In our last article "RIP Mutual Funds, ETF's are here to stay" we highlighted that one of the main reasons investors chose exchange traded funds (ETFs) over mutual funds was due to their fees being a lot lower. To properly invest your money some fees are unavoidable, however there is no reason you should not strive to reduce these fees as much as possible. One fee that will most heavily impact your return is the management expense ratio ("MER") as it is charged to your total investment on an annual basis.{C}[SA1]
The MER is an all-encompassing fee that includes the management fees and operating expenses for a given fund. The MER is calculated and charged daily, however you will never explicitly see the charge in dollars on your statements. The returns published by your fund and the daily values you are looking at are always shown after the deduction of the fees has already been made. It's a silent killer!
If you are not convinced of the impact that the MER has on your wealth, let us put it in perspective using a comparison of an ETF portfolio and a mutual fund portfolio.
Let's assume we use a $200,000 balanced mutual fund portfolio with an average MER of 2.15% and a compounded return of 5% per year. The comparable ETF portfolio will have an average MER of 0.50% and a similar return of 5% per year.
The results over 10 years are quite astounding.
At the end of the 10th year, the mutual fund investor would have a total wealth of $262,138.78 and an effective return of 32.45%. On the other hand, the ETF investor' portfolio would have totalled $309,851.64 and achieved a total return of 55.30%. The reason for the blatant disparity is that through compounding, the total fees over the decade equalled $51,149.79 for the mutual investor representing an additional $38,262.17 over that of the ETF investor.
Your returns can be heavily impacted over the long-term due to the power of compounding. Every year the money you lose to fees is money on which you could have earned additional returns for all of the future years. Over time this really adds up! In our example, a difference of 1.65% in yearly fees resulted in a 22.85% difference in total return.
Your work hard for your money, so make the most of it. Saving 1.65% in one year might not seem like much, but over the longer term it has a significant impact on your total wealth.

When I tell people I am on a ketogenic diet--and what that means, the first response I usually get is, "I could never give up ______" (insert, bread, tortillas, sugar, etc). It's funny how we can change over time. Several years ago my sister-in-law was mis-diagnosed with celiac disease. Since that time I have met many other people who eat a gluten free diet. I knew there was no way I could ever give up gluten--it's in everything! I heard about various "sugar buster" programs that would break a sugar addition. But I knew there was no way I could ever give up all sugar. When I was diagnosed with diabetes and my nutritionist told me to avoid potatoes because the starches turn to sugar. I knew there was no way I could give up french fries and potato chips.
And now I am following a ketogenic diet.
- I don't eat gluten (or any breads or grains)
- I don't eat sugar--of any sort
- I don't eat potatoes
And I'm loving it. I'm satisfied. I'm full. And I'm losing weight.
|I love cheese!
Some people can't losing weight on a ketogenic diet while eating dairy ad using artificial sweeteners. So far, it's working for me. Honestly, cheese and Diet Coke are what make this way of eating work for me. If I could not eat cheese, I probably would have given up a long time ago. Yes. I like cheese that much!
|Not sure that I would go this far!
I have tried to give up my Diet Coke--and I've been successful for 6-8 weeks. But so far, I have not successfully kicked that habit. And I'm okay with that. At some point, I may have re-evaluate both cheese and Diet Coke and determine if they belong in my diet. But for now, I will continue to enjoy them.
I know that a ketogenic diet is not for everyone. But the key to health is to find the right plan for you. And ultimately, the right plan for you is the one you will stick with.

This can safely be categorized as one of those only-in-California items because 1) it requires a hot tub, 2) there's a huge TV involved and 3) it's absolutely ridiculous. Making it even richer, there's competition between two appropriately named companies: CalSpas and Catalina Spas.
The first purveyor was featured awhile back with a 42-inch plasma that rises automatically from the side of the tub. But now we're treated to a competing four-seater from Catalina Spas that boasts--get this--a 61-inch LCD HDTV, according to BornRich. (Both of which dwarf the puny screens we've written about in previous "media spa" items. by the way.)
Which begs a couple of obvious questions, of course. If you had the means to purchase something this absurd, wouldn't you want more than four seats? And wouldn't you go blind from watching a screen this size with your nose just inches away, pina colada in hand?

On Big Dogs
The following is also included in this week's Dugout Splinters, which is inserted in GameDay, the independent program sold outside of the Metrodome prior to Twins games.
We spend a lot of time in GameDay and here talking about the minutia of baseball. We'll debate the impact of Tony Batista's on-base percentage. We'll ponder whether Jason Bartlett's range is more important than Juan Castro's quick release. We'll write a 1500 word story comparing the relative merits of swapping Shannon Stewart and Luis Castillo in the batting order. It's fun and somewhat worthwhile, in the sense that the pursuit of excellence is worthwhile.
On the other hand, it's also worth noting that if the big dogs aren't hunting, then nobody's belly is full, and all the navel-gazing in the world isn't going to change that. Right now the Twins have six big dogs that aren't just struggling, they're enduring some one of the worst stretches of their career.
The middle of the Twins lineup is an absolute mess. The Twins cleanup hitter, Rondell White, went 5 for 33 (.152 BA) on the latest nine game road trip – and improved his batting average. The next hitter, Torii Hunter, had just two hits in thirty at-bats on the road trip. Which equals the numbers of hits that #6 hitter Justin Morneau had. Combined, the three of them are hitting .177 on the season.
And things are even worse in the middle of the Twins rotation. The Twins expected Kyle Lohse to show he can be one of the better pitchers on the staff. They were right. His ERA is the 3rd best of the starting pitchers, but it's still 8.77. Terry Ryan claims that Brad Radke has the best stuff he's had in years, but is struggling with his "location". That's true, since the ultimate location of Radke's pitches has been the outfield bleachers. Carlos Silva has matched Bradke in giving up home runs but has made them count a bit more as evidenced by his 10.31 ERA. He also leads the league in hits against.
So, how exactly does one fix all that? The Twins AAA club has as many options as any in major league baseball, but they don't have three starters ready to throw 200 innings, and they don't have three hitters that can be plugged into the middle of the lineup. Nobody does. Nobody ever has. There is no quick fix for 2006. The Twins are going to need to play the hand they have been dealt.
Alternately, there is just as little logic in rushing to look forward to 2007. Each of these dogs is going to improve over the rest of the season, simply because they can't do a whole lot worse (or if you want a more statistical explanation, they'll "regress to the mean"). The Twins have three months before the trade deadline, so it's not like they need to be in a hurry to rebuild.
There comes a point where there are no bold moves left to make and where refinements and adjustments just don't have any affect. Instead, one simply must wait and watch and see what happens. After a series of player meltdowns that defy all attempts at prediction, the Twins have reached that point. So must Twins fans.

I think thats just it, there is too much going wrong right now that there is not an easy solution. We either have to keep it up with the same guys and hope they figure it out or at least create some value for the deadline. Radke and Hunter could bring a ransom and even Juan Castro has value at the deadline....but for the time being there is not much else to do but watch. I plan on shaving my head even closer so that I wont be pulling out any more hairs
- AdamOnFirst said...
The changes that should be made now are the same ones that should have been made during spring. Kubel in right, Cuddyer at third, Liriano in the rotation, BARTLETT AT SHORT. Afte that, we just have to pray that White can recover, Hunter can recover, and Morneau cna recapture. Failing that, it is over.
One comment that roubled me is Ryan's saying Radke had god stuff but was struggling wiht his location. THat is a significant problem since the entire basis of the whole of his pitching ability and long career has been excellent location. No location, no career, no Radke. Very simple.
- SBG said...
I couldn't have said it better, adamonfirst. But, I'll add this. If White doesn't turn it around soon, they'd be better off releasing him instead of letting him reach his incentives that based on plate appearances.
- Pierre said...
I don't have access to this article anymore, but a long time ago, back when the Twins were a lock to win the division, you wrote something about the Shannon Stewart/Bobby Kielty (and who else?) trade, and how sometimes simply pulling the trigger can incite a club to do better.
I'm wondering if that time is now: the Twins were expected to do better, much better, and in almost any other city the manager would probably get canned. It happened in Florida, for God's sake, three seasons ago, Jack McKeown came in and we all know what happened. (Maybe McKeown would be an intriguing pick...)
All I'm saying is that it seems like these Twins need something, and that something, as you pointed out, is not going to be a complete overhaul in the form of new players. But a new manager might just be the ticket.
John and Pierre:
My daughter -- who has always liked Mr. Gardenhire -- said the same thing last night. With so many things wrong, minor adjustments won't be enough, and 'staying the course' just isn't an option. When you're this far off course, it's time for a new helmsman.
Jim H.
Obviously there is no trade market available in May, and there is no need to rush into "rebuilding," but I think we all agree that a rebuilding mode is inevitable as at least the two top teams in the division (jury's out on the durability of the Tigers resurgence) are far more talented than this Twins team, even when it resurrects from its current state (e.g. dead).
I would return Liriano to Rochester, make sure his service time does not equal a full year between last season's call up and this and prepare him for the rotation in about mid-to-late June or early July. This is a no-brainer, unless you really believe this club can contend for a wild card spot and I do not.
I'd recall Kubel after his service time "concerns" are alleviated...which should be in about three weeks and give him a chance to DH as well as play RF, perhaps in a platoon.
To me, Cuddyer should be once again given a shot at being an everyday OF, not a 3B. I understand why he'd be more valuable at 3B, IF he could field the position. Granted, T Bat ain't any better, but that's beside the point. If Cuddyer is to be a regular, he should hit .275/.350/.450/.800 and I would imagine the best possibility of that is in LF or RF.
Stewart should be shopped at the deadline, Hunter's departure is imminent as well, and probably one of Lohse/Silva must go. That should be able to provide a 3B and SS prospect, plus perhaps a bat of some sort that could eventually DH or platoon with Morneau in the event he never produces big league numbers against LHP. Rondell has to go also before his vesting option kicks in, at least unless there's a massive turnaround.
I love Castillo and think he could have at least a short term future here. With the subtractions of the three above players plus Radke, the payroll situation is good...my point to this rant? Of course you can't really start "rebuilding" now, but the contingency plan should be forming...I'm not sure TRyan is yet convinced that he needs to rebuild. Gardentool will be no help in a rebuilding mode and would likely have to be sacrificed.
It's like I say about gas. We need 6 bucks a gallon to motivate people to change habits that will be beneficial long-term. The Twins need to keep losing big-time to motivate the powers that be to tear this facade down. I know that won't be popular here or elsewhere, but that's the way I see it. Laughs.
- wontbelongnow said...
I don't see Hunter having any value at the deadline in his present form. Half a year at 5 million for a .200 hitter?
Trade Stewart and Nathan, who should bring some decent value.

Adamonfirst, you nailed it.

Mass. College Hoops: Locals Earn Spots In Men's NCAA D3 Tournament
By Matt Noonan
The NCAA released its pairings for the upcoming men's Division 3 tournament this afternoon, which begins later this week. Eight squads from Massachusetts earned spots in the tournament and will begin their quest toward Salem, Virginia in either the first or second round.
Below is a breakdown of each matchup, along with what teams they'll be facing in the first or second round.
Amherst, which captured their third-straight NESCAC crown yesterday, earned a first-round bye. They'll host the winner of Rhode Island College vs. York (N.Y.) on Saturday, March 8. RIC-York will play in Rhode Island on either March 6 or 7.
MIT, which won their third NEWMAC crown in four seasons, will travel to Plattsburgh State for a first-round matchup. If the Engineers are victorious against the Cardinals, they'll advance to the second round and face the winner of Eastern Connecticut vs. Husson.
Bridgewater State, the winner of the MASCAC Conference, will travel to Cabrini for their first-round contest. A win for the Bears would pit them against the winner of Richard Stockton vs. Bowdoin College.
WPI will travel to SUNY Purchase for their first-round contest. The Engineers will take on Albertus Magnus, which won its third-straight GNAC crown. A win for WPI would advance them to the second round against either Purchase State or Hartwick.
Williamstown, the home of Williams College, will be the site of three local squads competing for a chance to advance to the third round. Williams College will play Mitchell College, the winner of the NECC Conference, while Babson will take on Gordon College, which captured the CCC Conference Crown with a win over Nichols. The winners of both contests will meet on Saturday.
Finally, Springfield College will travel to Randolph-Macon to play Mary Washington. If the Pride wins, they'll face the winner of Randolph-Macon vs. DeSales.

I gave this post it's title on March 28 of this year. Since then it has sat in my blog's draft section, a mere title with no content. Today is September 18, 2016. In the nearly 6 months between now and then that we have lived, loved, survived and thrived, I believe the title's sentiment holds true. As it has held true since the first time I milked a cow, the first time I magicked that milk into something beyond it's original state, the first time Andy and I sold yogurt under the umbrella of our own business, and the first time we milked a cow on our own farm. To see this farm begin to work, to see the systems develop and make sense, to begin drafting long term plans for the land: we intend to bring fertility and productivity to this land, to make this a true working sun & grass & food farm. All of this is beautiful, and I see that in large & small ways every day. But to achieve any of it requires the sandpapering of hands, the moments of chaos, the strain on bodies. As all work does. So milk. It is fascinating. A lovely, fascinating, burdensome substance.
We have some exciting news about our milk! News that also happens to validate all of our efforts. In addition to making yogurt and bottling milk here on the farm and selling those products in Maine from Brewer to Kittery, we also ship milk to Horizon. We are happy & proud to work with Horizon, and it is certainly an important part of our business. Horizon picks up milk from 700+ farms throughout the country, and we found out a couple weeks ago that our milk ranked second in the nation for quality this year! Gregg, Andy, and this summer, James, do all of the milking and herd/health management, so they, along with the cows we steward, get a massive amount of credit for this wicked clean, delicious & nutritious milk that is produced on the farm. I'm so pumped & so proud.
In other news, we have half and whole pigs available for reservation. Our pigs are pastured, rotated through land on our farm that we plan to plough & reseed to more favorable forage species. They are fed whey & milk from the dairy and organic grain from Morrison's Feeds in Vermont. Please look to our website for more information on pork and be in touch if you're interested!
We also have beef, mixed boxes of ground & stew, in whatever amounts you choose, for $6.10 per pound. Fill your freezer for the winter! Like our pork, our beef is vacuum sealed, freezer ready, packaged in meal sized portions.
I intended only to put photos in this post, thinking I had no brain space for words, but here is what you see below:
1. The dairy herd walking in for milking. Because of the drought we have made very little of the feed we need for winter, and about a month ago ran out of pasture and have been feeding the cows hay and baleage on various fields that we can afford to sacrifice to high use because we hope to till & re seed them next year. There was quite a bit of volunteer squash that made its home here this summer due to our winter pigs.
2. The milking herd walking towards the bedded pack barn, which is where they spend their time on very hot days in the summer and most days of winter. The right side of the barn is a new addition that is about to be completed!
3. Gratuitous sunflower selfie
4. This boy loves machinery & freshly baled millet
5. The Massey is one of our work horses, used multiple times a day for every kind of heavy lifting.
6. Glorious millet! Our successful attempt at a planting of annuals this year.
7. Blurry sunset lit farm
8. Linus & Andy
9. Farm store! Open 7 days per week, from day break to dark. Self serve honor system.
10. Blurry winter rye.
11. When your milk system guru says pick a square foot and scrub
12-23. Foggy mornings these days. Highlights: cows in the mist, nice looking stand of rye for early spring grazing, coffee with the pigs
24. The milking herd is quite far from the barn lately, and walking them in for milking can take upwards of 20-30 minutes, depending on their mood. Bring a bucket of grain and they will hustle.
25. Bliss & power tools. Working on laying hen housing for a larger flock. Organic eggs from the Milkhouse in spring 2017!

Reading Happiness: Tony Hsieh's Reading List
In 1999, 24-year-old Tony Hsieh sold a company he co-founded to Microsoft for $265 million. He then joined online shoe and clothing retailer Zappos.com as an advisor and investor, and eventually became CEO, helping the company go from virtually nothing in sales to more than $1 billion in gross merchandise sales each year. Hsieh's first book, Delivering Happiness, which made the case for how a unique corporate culture can serve as a powerful model for achieving success, debuted at #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list.
When it comes to reading, Hsieh leans toward books "that combine research on human behavior with business results." Here are some of his favorites.
Made to Stick
Why are some ideas successful? Why do some fail? In this bestseller, educators Chip and Dan Heath outline the six traits common to all "sticky" messages, and offer advice on how to make not-so-sticky ideas more powerful. Made to Stick is an indispensable guide for transforming the way you communicate.
How Will You Measure Your Life?
Clayton M. Christensen, whose work has been championed by Hsieh, as well as the late Steve Jobs, has created a passionate collection or priceless observations and insights that can help virtually any reader of any age at any stage of their life or career forge their own paths to a fulfilling life.
Get Off Your "But"
While psychotherapist and professional speaker Sean Stephenson was born with a rare and extremely painful disease which makes his bones break when subjected to even the slightest pressure, he has been able to rid himself of self-doubt and insecurity — and help others do the same. Get Off Your "But" will challenge and empower you to face challenges, no matter how big or small.
If advertising doesn't really work, why do people talk more about certain products than others? Why are some stories or rumors more infectious? And what makes online content go viral? Jonah Berger combines unprecedented research with powerful stories to reveal the secret science behind word-of-mouth and social sharing.
Fake "Work"
Each year, millions of people spending millions of hours doing work that's not really work. This "fake" work not only drains a company's resources without improving its bottom line, but it also robs conviction, care, and positive morale from employees. All of this leads to high turnover, communication breakdowns, and cultural patterns of poor productivity. Brent D. Peterson and Gaylan W. Nielson use anecdotes to help to you spot, avoid, and not be subject to fake work — both for your benefit and the benefit of your organization.
Try these and a few of Tony's other favorites on for size.

I got my chance to be involved very early on. Staff had already been examining the issue and was undertaking consultations with the various stakeholders. In May of 2008, Board of Control and Council adopted the following principles for allocating the water and sewer rates among the various parties:
• Fair and equitable
• Promote conservation
• Affordable/sustainable
• Stabilize revenue
• Support economic development
• Be consistent
• Respect history
• Support job retention and growth
Residential ratepayers, on the other hand, cannot pass their utility bills to someone else. No one else can be tapped to subsidize them. So whether you are a worker whose wage increases have been frozen or a pensioner on a fixed but inadequate income, you have to keep paying not only your own rate increases but also $4 million of industry and business increases. And it doesn't matter whether you are filling your swimming pool or watering trees, you pay the full amount and the more you use, the higher the rate.
Staff has made the same recommendation three years in a row. Our staff has no interest in killing jobs or deterring industry from locating here. Staff is simply recommending what we asked them to do: offer a fairer allocation to pay for the services that are essential to all of us, residents and businesses alike.
The implementation would not be for another year. Thereafter it would be phased in over 3 to 5 years, plenty of time for planning ahead. Fully phased in, our rates would still be highly competitive with surrounding municipalities.
Let's make fairness, not subsidies, London's Advantage.
Update: The issue was debated earlier this evening. Fairness for the residential ratepayer was put off again. Supporting the deferral were the Mayor, Controllers Gosnell, Polhill and Hume, Councillors Baechler, Branscombe, Bryant, Miller, Hubert, VanMeerbergen, Caranci, Usher, and MacDonald. Opposing deferral were Controller Barber and Councillors Armstrong, Lonc, Orser and Winninger. Councillor Eagle was absent. You can read the Free Press report here.

So many of us are so prone to getting caught up in what we do (activity) that it adversely taints who we think we are (identity). But the gospel informs a different way. By focusing first on who God is and what he's done, we're able to see who we really are in Christ. When we truly submit to the realities of the gospel, then this new identity orients what we do!
God, in his glorious plan and love for his people, reveals all the mighty plans he has for them as he brings them out of Egypt. Exodus 5:22-6:8 is often referred to as the Table of Contents for the entire OT. Specifically looking at Exodus 6:6-8 we see this amazing pattern evolve:
First, God's identity informs or enables his activity of delivering his people out of Egypt
Secondly, he reaffirms his people's identity → "I will make you my people..."
Then, he reveals to them their future activity → to inherit the land (back to creation, Abraham, covenant, etc.)
This sermon by Daniel Huskey from January 8, 2017 outlines just that.

U Romero Artist Bio:
Since school my work has evolved from photography to mixed media. Just like I don't work with an specific media, my work also is not set to one subject or another. I usually work on several bodies of work concurrently, mixing materials from one to another, letting the materials develop into the piece. "Sunday paper" is a series of collages made of images cut from the sunday paper. I began the series in late 2012. "C Note" In 2013 the series began as an specific size art piece for a group exibition at the Desert Art Center. At that point I was also incorporating found objects into the canvas. The series is at an stage of oil and enamel paint in a 12x12 canvas. "Rear view Mirror" The series is the aftermath of using oil paint in my work. The images are memories of my daily work commute. "Ink on paper" The series began as to use oil base markers on paper. The starting point of the sketch like drawings, is setting the tip of the marker in the sheet of paper and continue to drip paint until I am satisfied with the image. The phrase series is influnced by the memory of elementary school learning to write by filling sheets of paper with a phrase. I did not set up to be a mixed media artist, or to create artwork relating to anything. My work is influnced by everything I see, feel and experince. But I have always loved conceptual art. Therefore I will always continue to make stupid art.
