Faith Hill - Cry (Warner)
When an album opens with the lyrics "I had it tough when I was just a little kid", you know what to expect. If this weak attempt to pull on the heartstrings doesn't get you, then perhaps the closing words on the albums thank you list will do the job, "God Bless America! God Bless America!!!" The statement made even more ridiculous with the excessive use of exclamation marks. As if the singer's involvement in the all-American Pearl Harbour wasn't a strong enough mark of patriotism, Faith Hill feels the need to reiterate her national pride. If fourteen tracks of philosophical enlightenment aren't satisfying enough then you will be happy to know that the CD is specially enhanced, containing footage of the artist's studio sessions and world-tour.
The lyrical content has the depth of a puddle. Is the singer being ironic when she sings, "What would you say if I said something strange that made a difference? What would you do if I did something out of the blue that made this world a better place? I think I will"? The album cover shows Faith Hill bearing a striking resemblance to Britney Spears and the similarities don't end there. Both have songs by the title 'Stronger' and both like to express their religious beliefs, "I try to love Jesus and myself", sings Faith Hill in the sweetest reverential voice she can muster.
The albums preoccupation with love and relationships verges on neurosis. The whole album has a very Ally McBeal feel to it. What amazes me most is the fact that it took four people to produce this album, including the artist herself. With four people collaborating on an album, you would expect a better offering than this.

It looks so simple and refreshing.
Would someone please save me from my addiction to fiddling?
It looks so simple and refreshing.
Would someone please save me from my addiction to fiddling?
i'd love to help you but i also need somebody to save me.)
Things 3 is beautiful. OmniFocus 2 and Things 3 will target different types of users. There are many things that each app does that the other doesn't do.
Things 3 reminds me of the introduction of OmniFocus 2. It is basically a rewrite from the ground up. It probably uses modern APIs that were not present when Things 1 and OmniFocus 1 came out. Major advancements in APIs and technologies demanded a rewrite instead of building on an old foundation that was showing its age.
After reading a bunch of the twitter feeds, it sounds like:
It is a rewrite of Things. A few interface tweaks but no real features added. OmniFocus 2 had the same journey. Over time, OmniFocus 2 has slowly added features that makes it miles ahead of Things 3. I think this is where Things 3 is right now. It's a start and we'll probably see new features added slowly over time. It's amazing how far along OmniFocus 2 has gone in the past couple of years.
I like the new user interface and inventive gestures such as the Add button. Very clever.
No real end-to-end encryption. Good luck if you value your security. OmniFocus 2 has this down pat.
A common complaint shared with OmniFocus is the lack of collaborative features. Things users still not happy that this isn't implemented yet. But it is no surprise because collaboration is not as simple as it sounds Todoist users are staying with their app because they want/need collaboration or list sharing.
Tags is always a big attraction to Things. But I'm guessing that a future OmniFocus will have the multiple tags feature that has been requested so much.
The calendar with task list is a nice user interface. I think this is what a lot of OmniFocus 2 users have been asking for. Something that is a little more robust than the current forecast perspective.
Still surprised that Things 3 doesn't have attachments to tasks yet.
A future version of OmniFocus 2 will have timed reminders coming soon. This will probably make my reliance on the Due app obsolete. Things 3 has a limited timed reminder feature.
Repeating to-do's can't be a part of a project in Things 3.
I haven't really heard much of callback URL schemes to help interface with Things 3. I could be wrong because I'm no expert in this field. I think there is a limited set that will work with Workflow.
Only one level of sub-tasks is a common complaint in Things 3. Personally I don't really want more than one level of sub-tasks. It makes my projects too unwieldy. But I can understand if someone else might want more than one level of sub-tasks in a project.
No dark mode implemented in Things 3 yet.
Swipe to select multiple tasks is kinda cool in Things 3.
Things 3 doesn't have sequential and parallel tasks in a project. Some OmniFocus 2 users might find this a a turn-off if they try Things 3.
Cultured Code seems to have a smaller group of developers working on it. I think the one developer from the old iGTD app joined forces with Cultured Code to come up with Things 3. It scares me that there is no real display of tech support beyond what they've put out on Twitter. I'm sorry but I can't agree that Twitter is a good place for tech support. There are many complex bugs that can't be explained in less than 140 characters.
2Do has a smart list feature and OmniFocus 2 has custom perspectives. I guess you can click on tags to show different contexts and/or projects. But I love having custom perspectives available at the click of the mouse button.
Where is Cultured Code's tech support? I've always loved the Omnigroup user forums with an active group of users who share hints and tips about what they've discovered. This group shares their experiences and offer workarounds to help others. Omnigroup developers are also commonly seen replying on Twitter as well as the forum site. This is an excellent display of tech support from a dedicated team. I hope Cultured Code will see the value of having a user forum and actively interacting with its users. Maybe they've been so busy trying to re-write Things that they had to put tech support on life support. Hopefully they'll come back to providing better tech support beyond Twitter.
OmniFocus has a mail drop feature to send tasks via e-mail to our OmniFocus 2 inbox. Sadly, Things 3 doesn't have this feature.
Support for TaskPaper is something that OmniFocus 2 has and Things 3 doesn't have.
Location reminders and geofencing are available in OmniFocus 2 for iOS but not in Things 3 for iPad and iPhone.
Overall, Things 3 looks like the new girl that walked into the classroom and all the boys' heads swiveled to see her. There are many people interested in meeting her. Then there are those who say "meh, looks nice but I'm good."
The question is "can you afford to spend time trying to convert over to Things 3?" I've already gotten most of my OmniFocus 2 workflow all settled after much experimentation. Having to rewrite my habits by using a new app such as Things 3 will weight heavily upon me. I just can't afford the downtime I need to spend to get back up to speed with Things 3.
Yes, I might buy Things 3 but it's mostly just to play with. I like playing with new user interfaces but I just can't see myself breaking away from OmniFocus 2. I've already flirted with Things 2. Then I flirted with 2Do. I kept coming back to OmniFocus 2.
You can always download the free 15-day trial from the Cultured Code web site just to see it in action or watch the various YouTube videos that will inevitably show up. For now, I'm comfortable enough in OmniFocus 2. I just can't imagine switching over to Things 3. There isn't any one feature set that would definitely make me jump over.
But I am glad that Things 3 will probably a good fit for many users who don't need the power and complexity of OmniFocus 2. Things 3 looks more like a powerful task manager with an emphasis on checklists.
I think the ability to save smart lists in 2Do and custom perspectives in OmniFocus 2 gives these 2 apps the ability to save common searches or views that can be easily accessible. Todoist's web interface and collaborative features makes it perfect for teams or users who want to share projects.
We'll find different apps for different purposes. While Things 3 is pretty, it isn't quite enough to make me want to switch over.
Part of the journey is exploring and trying out the different apps to see which one fits you best today. In the future, our demands and needs will change and we can switch accordingly.
I started out with Things way back in the day.
But the simplicity of it is so damn appealing. The upcoming view is fantastic. And I like that items that get scooped up into the Today view don't fall off in the way that they do in the OF forecast view. The idea of being free from always seeking a better setup or perspective that would solve all of my problems is also appealing.
I also really like that it doesn't mind if you have a bunch of next actions that aren't affiliated with projects, and it doesn't make you feel bad for not using contexts.
And drag and drop to reorganize a today view…fantastic.
There are a ton of little things that they get so right.
But I left because of big things.
Their development cycle is GLACIAL, and they are not transparent about progress AT ALL. I'm hesitant to subject myself to that abusive relationship again.
Also, I'm not sure how well the system could scale to handle the sheer amount of stuff I throw into my system.
I think in a lot of ways, your analogy of being the pretty new face in class is right on. And a pretty face isn't enough for a solid marriage.
I read the hype, downloaded a trial version, it lasted 30 minutes. Yes it looks nice, has some clever touches but firstly no API so modern integration schemas are virtually impossible.
As already stated no attachments, no mail in and recurring tasks can not be completed early.
In 2017 to have a walled garden approach to software seems wrong, especially when a task management app needs to talk to other apps and services. This was one of the reasons I moved to ToDoist from OF, I now have forms submit directly into my task manager, slack integrates, client updated trello cards update my personal ToDoist list etc etc. This type of integration allows me compete with larger better funded businesses in a way walled garden apps could not, and this more than any other is why I think as beautiful as Things 3 is function wins over form any time.
Oh and the promise that a fix is coming for recurring tasks "soon" after a 4 year dev cycle would be enough to make me very sceptical indeed.
I need to spend some time with these awesome responses, but I did find this article about Things 3 by Drew Coffman interesting.
That article you posted @joebuhlig is exactly where I'm sitting at the moment.
The benefits of the available power of OmniFocus isn't lost on me, but man I wish they would invest a bit more of their effort in making OF have a better UX across all platforms. Compared to nearly every other app it's just a mess to use (visually). No shortcuts for adding dates, contexts, durations. All of that has to be done by infinitely tabbing through all the fields. The visual cruft is massive as you add projects and folders, etc…
While Things 3 isn't perfect in the shortcut department (2Do is darn close IMO), it's a much better experience than OF.
The other benefit to me of Things 3 vs OF is on iOS. Things 3 on iOS makes it a breeze to manage your tasks. I can edit multiple items, move them, change dates, tags, etc… On OF for iOS it's just a chore and I've let it lapse into simply being available if I need to throw a thought in there or view my tasks for today, but all my major management has to happen on the Mac. Which is disappointing.
All that to say, I don't know whether I'll stick with Things 3 or whether I'll go back to OF. It will depend on how multi-editing, multiple contexts, and reminders show up in OF and how quickly Cultured Code adds the recurring tasks to Projects.
Cultured Code's glacial pace of development is also something I'm worried about. Either way, Things 3 is working for what I need, and I'm enjoying it. So we'll see how that lasts.
Thank you all for these posts. There's a lot I like about Things, but don't think I'll be switching over. I used Omnifocus for years, went to 2Do and then Todoist. I went back to Omnifocus a couple months ago. I'm not always ooooed and aweeeed by it, but it gets the job done. The one thing that kept me from trying really Things is the developer's history of not updating the app.
I really would like Omnifocus to have a "focus" mode (different from the current one). It would be similar to the UI of Things. Spend some time in the morning in Omnifocus then switch on Focus mode to get things done. I think that would be great for iOS.
I was interested in the collaboration features in Todoist. Was there something about Todoist or 2Do that was missing or was there something that was in OmniFocus that brought you back to OmniFocus?
Ok. I have some time. Here we go.
This is a solid yes from Ken Case at the OmniGroup. Scroll down in the below article to see the roadmap for OmniFocus.
That same post has this reference as well. And it's something I'm really looking forward to. I use Due daily. I only hope that they give some consideration to the UI used to create repeating reminders.
This is something I feel I'm seeing more often. Not necessarily as drawn out as the Things 3 release but software companies in general that kick out solid, long-term apps/websites seem to be on longer release cycles. I don't know if that's due to more testing or just overhead.
This seems to be the consensus I've run across. There are a few who love it but I often wonder if that has more to do with an interest in "new and shiny" than it does a solid product.
@kennonb, are you referring to iOS or macOS? I've never truly considered the iOS version a standalone app. I've always felt that the Mac version was the hub and the iPhone was a window into my task lists. The phone is where I do the checking off and capturing. It's not typically the place where I process tasks. That may be a result of this observation but it's never surfaced as an issue for me.
I think that if it helps you get your junk checked off, go for it.
That quote was in reference to Mac but it's kind of the same for iOS. I think OmniGroup could benefit from a re-thinking of the UX for OF for both Mac and iOS.
Overall I think Mac is good and passable but iOS really is like you described, it's a viewer, which is a shame.
Now that some of the smoke has settled with Things 3 I think it's interesting to see how folks are still using (or not using) it. @drewcoffman is a great example of sticking with it. Apparently, it lives up to some of the hype long-term.
Thanks for sharing. I just commented on the mpu Facebook group that my head says Omnifocus, but my heart says Things 3.
Last week I started using a Workflow workflow to add my daily routine and review tasks to Omnifocus rather than keeping them in the database gumming up the works. And it worked really well.
That's a point in favor of Omnifocus.
I think though that there can be a real benefit to less automation. It's really easy to cram tons of stuff into an app without thinking about it to the point where the app becomes useless.
I did that with Evernote way back when.
Having to interact with the system and it's compoonent parts might be part of what makes it work.
You don't have to rely on your brain, but your brain is more aware of what is going on in the big picture.
I feel like I need an intervention.
There is still a lot to like about Things 3 for me, but I did stop using it. I'm actually jumping back and forth between OmniFocus 2 and 2Do.
I found Things 3 to have too much friction in organization of longer running projects and recurring tasks. Plus I really needed some automation for exporting regular task reports of what I've worked on. I got close with a shell script that directly exported from Things' sqlite db, but I could never get it to be as nice as what I have with OmniFocus and 2Do.
Anyway, I still really like how clean Things 3 is (I want to use it so badly), and I think their iOS apps are top-notch. But it just started falling apart over a week of work. I'm eagerly awaiting what Omni does with their new iOS apps in Q4 (multiple editing, tags, and better recurring tasks).
I've been playing around with the idea of a Setapp subscription which comes with 2Do. I don't see it as something I would adopt full-time, but I've been curious about using it for a daily to-do list. But it likely won't happen. Too many pain points in that process. I'd be interested in a write-up of how you make the two work together.
Yea, I would like to do a write up on that. I've found a fairly good setup with 2Do that works well for me. Still features in OmniFocus that I miss, which is why I keep flopping back and forth. But there's so much good in 2Do too. D:
This is a somewhat entertaining topic to me as I recently bought myself Things 3 as a birthday gift. It's really pretty, and the UX is kinda magical.
I love OmniFocus as well, but it has just gotten too heavy for me lately. As a software development team lead (for several teams) I tend to not be able to get away from silos. (I'm looking at you, GutHub.)
To make it worse, I work for a consulting firm so we kinda have to adjust to the flows our clients are using. I'm actually monitoring codebases across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket.
I also track my own side-projects, as any good self-shaming developer should do.
So…2018 is the year of figuring all this crap out. I'm hoping to build some sort of flow with the Email to Things feature (same could be done with OmniFocus' email feature).
At one point I considered a GitHub task management flow. Simply because I spend so much time with it, I thought it would make sense to keep my task management and higher level goals there as well. But I never took the time to figure out the feasibility of such a project.
Definitely let us know what you land on. I've been hearing rumors of more and more people moving to Things lately. Granted, that was prior to the OmniFocus 3 announcements.
I'm happy that people switched to Things 3 because it might fit their needs better than OmniFocus 2. But we've heard enough stories of folks switching between apps after a few months of frustration with the existing app. I had to unfollow someone on Twitter because they switched so quickly between Things, Todoist, and OmniFocus. I wanted to see why someone changed so quickly. I don't know if I really learned anything beyond the idea that some users will never find that perfect app. If a productivity system or app can do 80-90% of what I want, I'll stick with it and fill in the gaps with other apps or an AppleScript.
So far, I'm very happy with Things. I like the interface a tad more. But all of that is ultimately inconsequential. I think some (myself included) tend toward thinking that an app is going to save us, when it is really finding a workflow and sticking to it that is likely the true answer.
I read about the OmniFocus 3 redesign a couple days after posting my comment above. Heh. By that time I'd already jumped feet-first into the Things wading pool.
I like that OF3 is minimizing contexts (it was always my friction point in GtD). Tags in Things work much better for me. I think that change alone would have brought OF3 back into the workflow for me.
In fact, instead of using GitHub (or any other VCS SaaS) as my core system, I've decided to use them all as "feeders". I'm using "Email to Things" for this, but it is actually less robust than the OF email input gateway. It is sufficient, as I've considerably trimmed down the notification preferences in the VCS SaaS services. And I get decently organized items into Things.
I'm using this for all external inputs to Things. I'll try to share some actual details of the system here in the near future for anyone interested. Still fine-tuning a few things and hoping it doesn't all fall apart.
So…this is the "kicker", right? When I first saw the OmniGroup year in review and what to look forward to in 2018 post I was irritated. I thought, "well I can always use Things for a while and go back when OF3 is released."
But I laughed and just shrugged it off. I've since realized (as mentioned above) that both apps will work fine for what I need. OF2 may actually still be a bit better than Things due to having more options to format a task from their email gateway. But there isn't an amazing amount of control offered by the originating services tossing the tasks in via the email gateway anyway, so it isn't a huge deal.
I told myself I was trying Things this year, and I'm sticking to that. I have a feeling the meaningful parts of my workflow will be largely "task app" agnostic anyway.

if they run after a hare
The day we went to Ichinohe we started by first driving to Shirakami-sanchi. I must say my plan wasn't neat, it meant a long drive but it wasn't without reward. The route from Shirakami-Sanchi to Ichinohe was long, taking us through the mountains sometimes on unsurfaced roads, we saw a Mountain Hawk Eagle swoop down on an unfortunate Japanese Hare that was already being chased up the road towards us by a Japanese Marten. The eagle pulled up at the last second, perhaps because of our presence, and perched in a dead tree next to our car. Both of us were thrilled to see the scene. The Hare was at a loss, with the Marten following up the road, us ahead and the Eagle perched above it walked in circles in the middle of the road. Finally it hopped into the forest and the other players soon disappeared too leaving just us sitting in our car on the empty road. It was like a show and though it might happen all the time we thanked for our luck that we could witness the performance.
We were so astonished to see the scene and couldn't take off our eyes from it. This was the only photo we could take… the Marten, last to depart, sniffing around on the road contemplating its lost meal.

Scientists often climb the leadership ladder through their scientific achievements and technical abilities. But few are prepared with the leadership skills necessary to develop and manage a best practice scientific team. In order to maximise performance in the laboratory and other settings, principal scientists must employ a number of skills including strong communication, emotional intelligence and authenticity.
Continuous funding cuts often cause tension and disengagement in the workplace. As a leader, it is imperative to motivate and engage your team in challenging circumstances, whilst addressing conflict simultaneously. In order to achieve an inspired and ambitious team, scientific leaders must create a work environment conducive to innovation and creativity.
In this workshop, delegates will explore the leadership skills demanded of scientific professionals to increase team performance and fast-track research outcomes, in a real-time decision-making environment.

Abstract: Transition to condensate state in the degenerate gas of bosons is studiedusing the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. It is shown that adiabatic invariance ofan enstrophy mean squared vorticity based on a generalized vorticity $curl|\psi|^2 {\bf v}-|\psi|^2$, controls dynamics of the transitional turbulencejust before formation of the condensate with its tangles of quantized vortices$|\psi|^2 {\bf v}$ is the weighted velocity field defined on the macroscopicwave function $\psi$.

HI. I have an old line matching transformer Shure Mod# A86A. Can't find it in your old product listing. I am trying to put a system back into operation in our Church. I need to know what the terminal numbers mean so that I can hook it up correctly. Any other info you can find would be helpful.
The A86A transformer was introduced in 1951. The four pin connector is the low impedance side. Pins 1 and 2 are one of the two primary windings; the impedance is 35 to 50 ohms. Pins 3 and 4 are the other primary winding; the impedance is 150 to 250 ohms.
The two pin connector is the high impedance side. Pins 5 and 6 are the high impedance winding (20,000 to 25,000 ohms). Go from the low side to the high side will provide about 20 dB of gain.
Use the A86A to connect the balanced, low impedance output of a typical "modern" microphone into the high impedance input of a typical "antique" audio mixer/amplifier.

Marines, 1 sailor from Camp Lejeune killed in plane crash
- Author: Stacy Allen Jul 12, 2017,
Jul 12, 2017, 0:13
Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported the Federal Bureau of Investigation is at the scene of the crash.
Marine Corps Maj. Andrew Aranda says Tuesday that the flight of the KC-130T originated Monday from Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. In replies to the tweet, it confirmed it was talking about the crash in MS but also stated that "further information [would] be released as available".
A military refueling tanker crashed about 85 miles north of Mississippi's capital Jackson.
"Most of them are gonna be Marines", he said.
Trump tweeted early Tuesday, "Marine Plane crash in MS is heartbreaking".
The aircraft was a KC-130, one of the most extensively used planes in the military.
Billows of smoke surround the site of a fatal military plane crash in MS on July 10, 2017.
Debris from the crash is reportedly spread over a wide area.
According to a report from local news station WNBD, a MS airport official was quoted as saying, "The plane was being tracked by air traffic controllers in Memphis [Tennessee] and suffered structural failure at 20,000 feet that caused it to plunge into the field".
All 16 victims were on the plane and there were no survivors from the aircraft.
President Trump expressed his condolences in a tweet this morning: "Marine Plane crash in MS is heartbreaking".
Marine Corps spokeswoman Lt. Kristine Rascicot also confirmed the military aircraft involved in the crash was a USMC KC-130; however, she did not specify any more details, according to USA Today.
Two US Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopters receive fuel from a KC-130 Hercules over the Gulf of Aden. "This is a tragic reminder of the dangers our servicemembers are confronted with on a daily basis, including the training missions that are needed to help keep our nation safe at home and overseas".
Banks described several "high-intensity explosions" that drove away firefighters, the Commonwealth reported. Photos and videos showed thick plumes of black smoke billowing from the scene.
Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant released a statement on his Facebook page saying: 'Please join Deborah and me in praying for those hurting after this tragedy.
He was unable to publicly identify any service members killed in the fiery wreck, he said early Tuesday afternoon.

A new development from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) generates solar electricity at prices competitive with natural gas. This is possible due to the introduction of a new solar power concentrator, The Amonix 7700 Concentrated Photovoltaic or CPV Generator. Amonix has basically taken space grade solar cells and put them under a lens here on earth. The resulting system tracks the sun and produces nearly double the power of traditional solar electric arrays at utility-scale installations. The technology has the added benefit of being the least land-intensive form of solar power in the world.
Many solar systems today are very disruptive to the site itself, but by using this new system of solar fields the site would be less disturbed. As each panel is mounted on a pole, grading is not often needed. The huge panels are also much easier to transport and install, which greatly simplifies logistics. The overall installed costs are one-half to one-third the price of amorphous silicon and thin film utility-scale solar array installations.
Yet, another step in the right direction for a more affordable, renewable energy source.

Pension: Auto Enrolment - Autumn Statement
The increase in auto enrolment contribution rates due to be implemented in October 2017 and 2018 are to be deferred for six months to align them with the tax year. The minimum required levels of contribution can be summarised as follows:
|Minimum contributions
|To April 2018
|April 2018 to April 2019
|From April 2019
As auto enrolment began over three and a half years ago the expectation is that all relevant parties should now be aware of their obligations. However, this is often not the case.
All employers, whether they employ a workforce of 1,000 or just 1, have an obligation to automatically enrol their staff into a qualifying workplace pension scheme. Failure to do so will result in the employer receiving penalty notices, fines and possible court action from the Pensions Regulator. Assuming that existing pension arrangements comply with the regulations or that employees do not wish to take part are not justifiable defences.
Penalties are already being issued and are calculated on a daily basis at a rate determined by the total number of employees. For example those with 5-49 employees can expect rate of £500 a day whilst for those with 1-4 the daily rate is £50.
The setting of each employer's 'staging date' (the date by which they have to commence automatically enrolling employees into a qualifying scheme) was originally determined by the number of employees, the largest employers first. We are now entering a period during which smaller employers are reaching their staging dates. Considering the numbers of small employers in the UK, pension providers are bracing themselves for a significant increase in the number of schemes that will need to be established over the coming months. They are therefore warning that coping with late applications will be challenging.
With this in mind, it is imperative that plans are put in place as early as possible to ensure compliance. In addition, the earlier that plans are put in place the less likely that problems will materialise.
If you would like to discuss your auto enrolment obligations further, please contact Michael Lapham or your usual Mercer & Hole contact.

One thing any would-be published author will encounter in one form or another is a contract. Lawyers are scary to many people. Obviously if you receive correspondence from one, unless you are and heir to a vast fortune the likelihood is it is not good news. Add to this the inevitable and never-out-of-style lawyer shows and movies...and Congress...well hell, we'd say you have good reason to be cautious. But contracts are a legal inevitability if you want to: (a) protect your rights as an author; and (b) receive a fair shake in the royalties department.
One word every would-be author should commit to memory: boilerplate. This is a legal term meaning language in contracts that is there and never changes. Typical boilerplate provisions include but are not limited to: how disputes are resolved; which state's law controls interpretation of the contract provisions; who the contract is between (author and publisher); transfer of rights; exclusivity of rights to publisher; and others. Usually these terms are what one would call non-negotiable.
There is usually room for real negotiation with a publisher if the publisher is an indie press vs. a big house; and where the product is an e-book vs. a hard copy product. The rationale behind this is a big house has no vested interest in negotiating anything. That entity has been around for a while and you are literally one of hundreds of authors. That entity figures you will be happy just to have the name associated with your product and so they, for the most part, will dictate the terms. You may have some say regarding the cover design, but even that is unlikely.
An indie press, on the other hand, will likely be more willing and able to negotiate royalty splits on things like e-books because unlike a hard copy run, e-books do not require actual per-page costs. When a big house or indie press goes to press literally, they are looking at certain up-front costs to print the product before it even leaves the distributor's facility. Many of the big houses use Lightning Source (a POD outfit - no matter what they may say, it's true - Simon & Schuster is one of their big clients). If you want to see what we mean, go to their website: www.lightningsource.com.
What points of negotiation are not considered off limits? As previously stated: e-book royalties; certain primary and secondary royalties on hard copy print runs depending on the publisher's cost; method of dispute resolution; how long the publisher has exclusive rights to your title; how the product is to be delivered to the publisher; for of notice for termination of the contract.
If you receive a publishing contract, do not rely on yourself to be able to interpret the legalities of the document. Get off your butt and have a friend of a friend who is an attorney look it over. I guarantee they will see things in it you will miss. A classic example and horror story of what happens when you don't do your homework follows:
Would-be author was offered a contract for her first novel. Publisher said she could have stock warrants in lieu of advance. Author was so excited she signed on. Silly author - a stock warrant allowed her to buy the number of shares reflected in the warrants if publisher ever became a publicly-traded corporation...which of course it never did. So the "advance" was worthless and, in fact, she would have to pay for it. Ooops.
It is also a good idea to do due diligence on the publisher. Does this mean if a company is a start-up it sucks? Obviously not. It means they won't have a track record yet. So research the people who started the company. Do they have industry credibility? Have they ever been published? There is a big bad world of shady operators out there, but don't judge all publishers by that standard. Sometimes the most advantageous contract terms will come from the smaller and start-up publishers because they seek clients and want to build credibility. Besides, who's to say one should instantly reject an indie company that wants to do things a little differently than other companies? After all, they said e-books "died out" about seven years ago...hmmmm..
Also do not write off indie houses that have traditional and self-publishing capabilities. Hey, Harlequin did it a few years ago and rocked the publishing world...but they still did it and we doubt their readership changed or their corporate board suffered any from the added revenue. Publishing is a business and the goal of both parties is to make money. Some authors who want more control over their product prefer self publishing but will use the services of an indie press to achieve that goal - it's a hybrid type of publishing contract. And they are valid.
It seriously does not take a rocket scientist to write a contract - there are plenty of templates out there to use - but if, God forbid, you wind up in a dispute with the publisher over the terms of that contract, you will spend a lot of money on attorneys to resolve it. So take some preventative measures and make sure you understand the document you are signing.
At the same time, though, it is wise not to push the envelope of chutzpah merely because you are dealing with an indie house. Somehow there is an idea floating around out there that an indie house has to do things on the author's terms or they will never "make it." Here's a big news flash: it ain't so. What will have happened is you closed a door on an opportunity.
Have some decorum and approach your contract negotiations in good faith - protect your interests; but do not perceive the publisher as the enemy who is automatically out to rip you off. Sure the publisher needs to make money - they will be selling your product. But guaranteed your product will be better once professionally edited and with a spiff cover than when it arrived as an e-mail attachment, right?
In short, don't let the contract make you lose sleep; but read it with an intelligent and logical approach to what you wish to achieve in partnership with the publisher. After all, there's a lot of litigation out there that could have been prevented by taking a little time to review and negotiate.

Medicos asked to vacate hostel for feeding stray dogsJune 23rd, 2009 - 4:52 pm ICT by IANS
Lucknow, June 23 (IANS) Women post-graduate students of the Motilal Nehru Medical College in Allahabad were Tuesday ordered to vacate their hostel after the administration found them feeding stray dogs in the compound.
The hostel administration claimed that the step was taken after the hostel residents - post-graduate students of pathology - refused to stop feeding the dogs that have bitten over a dozen children in the compound in the past few days.
"The girls fed biscuits to the dogs regularly, after which the dogs started dwelling permanently in the verandahs of the hostel. In the past few days, they have bitten nearly a dozen small children of the hostel staff," Neera Kasturi, assistant warden of the hostel, told IANS by phone.
The girls were asked to stop feeding the dogs and on their refusal, the administration took this step, she added.
However, the students disputed the warden's version.
"We only fed small puppies with the left-over food and that too outside the hostel campus. If the college is so concerned, it should post guards in and around the compound to stop the dogs from entering the campus," Meghna, a student, said.
Volunteers of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) also reached the hostel to support the residents.
"There in nothing wrong in feeding stray animals. The college administration should have done a proper enquiry before issuing such an order," Samaj Shekhar, the district coordinator of PETA, told reporters.

Believe It or Not! Acquires Laundry Lint Artwork of Biblical Proportions
ORLANDO, Fla. (Jan. 11, 2011) –Michigan artist Laura Bell is a little fuzzy about the details of her portrait -The Last Supper. That's because she used fluffy dryer lint as the medium for her take on this famous work of art. The massive masterpiece measures 14 feet long by 4 feet tall and has been acquired by Ripley's Believe It or Not! …
Bell says she spent seven months saving the lint from her own dryer … she ended up buying towels in the colors that she wanted to use in the portrait and washed and dried them separately to get lint with just the right tint. She estimates that she spent 700-800 hours just doing laundry to get the lint she needed for The Last Supper. She says it took another 200 hours to create the portrait. All the lint in her portrait is as it came out of the dryer and has not been colored or dyed.
She says she's been thrilled by the response from people who have seen it, and the prospect of millions more seeing it via Ripley's. "For some people, it's a very spiritual experience," said Bell. "Others are simply amazed at what someone could do with basic laundry lint."
This past summer I took my family through the Ripley's "Odditorium" in Niagara Falls. I remember seeing similar pictures made from dryer lint (and other more disturbing media). But nothing quite so grand or wonderful as this! The best part of all this for me is the artist's quote near the end: "For some people, it's a very spiritual experience. Others are simply amazed at what someone could do with basic laundry lint." Count me as one of those who sees this as a very spiritual experience. But not simply for the subject matter of the lint in question.
I for one, am amazed, not by what can be done with ordinary lint, but with ordinary lives. As this lady crafted the product of 800 loads of laundry into an iconic work of art, so to does God mold and shape the basic components of everyday lives, into a work of art with heavenly meaning. For me, the spiritual experience is in the doing of the laundry, not the picture at the end. 800 hours of laundry is in itself a glorious picture of one person's love and commitment to her home and family.
In Lutheran circles we call that vocation. And vocation truly is a very spiritual experience. When a mother cares for her sick children. When a father plays with his son or daughter. When grandparents send cards and call on birthdays. When employees work diligently, when students learn to the best of their abilities … when ordinary people do the ordinary things of ordinary life … extraordinary beauty unfolds. Most of the time we are so busy doing it that we can't see it. But if we just step back and look again, we might just be surprised at the work of art before us.
That's why God the Father sent His Son Jesus. An divine artist in the medium of basic humanity. A flesh and blood saviour to weave His life and vocation into our own. In doing all that ordinary sons should do He redeemed those who are children. Through His devotion to work He redeemed workers. Through His limitless compassion to His fellow man He redeemed neighbours. In faithfully paying taxes He redeemed citizens. In suffering and dying He redeemed those who suffer and die. In rising to everlasting life He gives life the living. Water for Baptism, Words for faith, Bread and Wine for His body and Blood. God uses the ordinary to achieve a very Spiritual Experience – Forgiveness, Life, and Salvation!
And in Christ, your life as a husband or wife, as a son or a daughter, a grandparent, a student, mentor, employer or employee … this is the raw material that God, the greatest artist of them all, is using to build His greatest masterpiece! Strand by strand, the grand tapestry is woven together, as we are built up and we in turn build others up by doing the work that is before us to do. By itself no one thread, no single bit of dryer lint, seems like all that much. Taking that time to spend with your children, going to the extra effort at work, being neighbourly … again, not much. Not the material we would have used to leave our mark. But put it all together in the hands of a master artist and you have something truly amazing. A grand masterpiece of Biblical proportions!

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Hiking Poles and other Hiking topics.
Some people use the term hiking pole, while others use trekking poles. Either one is correct, just as long as you know how to use them effectively. If you don't, you won't really see a lot of benefit when you hike.
So, how do you use your trekking poles? If you're on flat ground, the technique for two poles is quite similar to using cross-country ski poles. Let your poles swing with your arms in a natural walking rhythm.
Plant your pole opposite to the same-side leg. That may seem awkward at first, but once you use your hiking poles, you'll see how it makes much more sense to plant opposite, just as your arm swings opposite of your leg when you walk.

This has really been rolling around in me today. So here it goes...my thoughts...in no particular order...
"Running does not get us over the mountain...climbing gets us there...let's embrace what's in front of us. It's worth it. We're worth it."
Friends, pursue Jesus.
Pursue the person of Jesus.
We are left unsatisfied.
Because we seek something other than the person of Jesus.
Let's not go running looking for something else.
Let's STAY looking for HIM.
Children who have forgotten who they are, run.
They run looking for something.
Looking for themselves.
Looking for fulfillment.
We think the way to get what we want is to run.
To go find it.
It is already HERE! Right in FRONT of us.
He is HERE! He is right in FRONT of us!
We can't run.
We have GOT to stay in this.
We must.
Jesus has GOOD things for us.
We MUST push through.
That He is a good Father.
A Father who knows what's best.
Who wants what's best.
Jesus' face is right there IN the mountain.
He's IN the mountain.
Metaphorically and physically.
Like, I literally see His face in the mountain like the faces in Mount Rushmore.
If we keep running from mountains, we will only ever experience one location.
One side.
One perspective.
Eventually we will have to climb.
If we want the other side, we will eventually be forced to climb.
Even if we run, eventually we will run back into the same mountain miles down the road.
Stop running Ashley.
Stop running **insert your name here**.
It's worth it.
The view at the top is worth it.
The journey is worth it.
The other side is worth it.
He is worth it.
You are worth it.
We must embrace the mountain.
We must stop trying to pray away the mountain.
We must stop trying to "move the mountain."
(yes I know that verse says that faith can move mountains...but I think most mountains are not meant to be moved.)
You do not climb alone.
Grab a friend's hand.
Grab the Father's hand.
And climb.
Set your eyes on the Jesus that is there with you IN the mountain.
And climb.
We are climbers.
...I am a climber.

Wash your Vegetables Featured

Do you know where your potatoes, oranges and tomatoes have been? Unless your fruits and vegetables are organic, they grew up in fields covered in pesticides and herbicides. Although the pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables are considered to be at safe levels for human consumption, do you really want those extra chemicals on your food?
Once your fruits and vegetables were ready for harvest, they were handled by several different pairs of hands in the fields and orchards, then in the warehouses, and finally again in your grocery store. Bacteria such asListeria, Salmonella and E. coli may all be lurking on your produce, whether they are organically grown or conventionally grown. These bacteria all cause food-borne illness and need to be washed away.
How to Wash Fruits and Vegetables
- Start by keeping your kitchen countertops, refrigerator, cookware and cutlery clean.
- Always wash your hands before preparing meals and handling fruits and vegetables.
- Wait until just before you eat or prepare your fruits and vegetables to wash them. They have natural coatings that keep moisture inside, and washing them will make them spoil sooner.
- Wash all pre-packaged produce, even if the label claims they are pre-washed.
- Clean the whole thing - even the parts you don't eat. Bacteria can live on the rinds or skins of foods like bananas, potatoes or rutabagas. Though you may peel them away and toss the coverings in the trash, the bacteria can be transferred from the rind to the knife, then on to the part you're cutting.
- Gently rub fruits and vegetables under running water. Don't use any soaps, detergents, bleaches or other toxic cleaning chemicals. These chemicals will leave a residue of their own on your produce.
- Commercial sprays and washes really aren't any better than cleaning thoroughly with plain water, so don't waste your money on them.
- Firmer items, such as apples and potatoes, can be scrubbed with a vegetable brush while rinsing with clean water to remove dirt and residues.
- Remove and discard the outer leaves of lettuce and cabbage heads, and thoroughly rinse the rest of the leaves.
- Rinse berries and other small fruits thoroughly and allow them to drain in a colander.

Email this article | Print this article | Search Havana Journal Tweet
In 1960, Nicolas Quintana was a prominent Havana architect, a member of Cuba's national planning board. When Castro came to power, Quintana left for what he thought would be a few months. He has been in exile ever since. Now, from his post at Florida International University, Quintana, 81, is developing an ambitious plan to rebuild and restore Old Havana. This is not just the nostalgic musings of an old man. It is a project funded by two homebuilders—Lennar and Century. And there are indications the Cuban authorities are not only aware of the plan, they may tacitly approve of it. What role will U.S. companies play in rebuilding Cuba, especially when other countries are already there?
Go to Big City Dreams article to watch a four minute CNBC video about the future city architectural design plans for the post-Castro Havana. I could not see the video using Firefox so I opened an IE7 window and it worked fine.
To me it seems JUST a bit presumptuous of an old Cuban exile to design a city he left over 40 years ago. However, his designs may have some merit if he gives them to Havana city planners.

Wholesale VoIP Featured Article
VoIP Innovations Touts DID Benefits
Direct Inward Dialing offers businesses a range of benefits.
DID enables organizations to support multiple numbers on individual phone lines.
Many organizations use DIDs so they can provide their customers and prospects with a local number to call.
Some businesses leverage DID for vanity numbers. DID numbers also make it possible for anybody to join a Skype (News - Alert) for Business conference call. And those individuals don't need to have an internet connection.
VoIP Innovations says that DID can improve call management and customer value. And DIDs can expedite processes and lower costs.
"Users can also enjoy a breadth of features including fax-to-email, SMS and E911 service," VoIP Innovations blogs. "Depending on the provider, businesses can even gain access to customized reports that offer full transparency into DID usage, cost, and profit."
VoIP Innovations (News - Alert) provides tools and services that save customers time and allow them to focus on the more important parts of their business. Its offerings include wholesale VoIP DIDs as well as origination, termination, E911, hosted billing, and fraud detection services that are all designed to work seamlessly with any PBX (News - Alert). In late 2016 VoIP Innovations made SMS services available on all of its DIDs. The company explained it did that given the widespread use of mobile phones, and the growing use of messaging.
SMS is a very effective way for businesses to reach customers because text messages have an open rate of 98 percent. Meanwhile, email has an open rate of just 20 percent. Also, 90 percent of text messages are read in less than three minutes.
Short message services and multimedia message service are also useful for product demonstrations, enabling product purchasing, and doing verification and authentication. Demos can be provided by providing a short video via MMS.

This is a on going series that is posted on thursday's, to answer the question: "What helps you to thrive in your environment?" The series is written by myself, and a variety of guest Contributors. This week, I want to comment on how feeling like you are home can make you thrive.
i know, i know. it has been a while. I have been EXCEPTIONALLY busy, as you have probably gathered from my lack of posting. I left Montreal last friday, still with two papers to hand in (for monday). It was kinda nice to be leaving, but sucked knowing that I had to hermit myself until I would be done my papers. I spent saturday-monday at coffee shops full time. from open to close, with a little break for a dinner with friend on saturday, church on sunday. and sleep. of course sleep. I wanted to get off to the mountains on tuesday, but, alas. I was not yet done. At 4 pm on tuesday afternoon, I handed in my last paper for the semester. It was about a "caring theory." it may possibly have been 15 pages filled with nonsense, but it was 15 pages of something. and, with THAT, i am officially 1/2 WAY DONE MY DEGREE! wooooooOOOOOooooooo!
with that celebration done (which, in itself could be a post that makes me feel like I am thriving), i will move on to what is the hot topic of my life these days: being "home."
as you may know, I am a bit of a nomad. I effectively moved away from my family home at age 15. since then, I have never lived more than 4 years in one place. people may see it as unsettled, and sometimes it feels like that. But, i see it as learning opportunities, and chances to meet amazing people, and have incredible adventures, and learn about cultures. but, there is something about home... something that makes me thrive.
it is a long answer when people ask me "where is home?" or "Where are you from?" the second is easier, but answering that question is quite accurate about where i feel at home... cause where I am from does not necessarily feel like home. Nor does montreal feel like home. I know africa feels like a home, but, it is not totally home either; in africa, I will always be an outsider. but here, in western canada, in Vancouver, I feel the more at home than anywhere I have in my life. (and, i am not saying that i am going to 100% settle here. I am just saying that the west coast culture fits with me... it feels like coming home when I am here.)
to me, home is where my people are. home is where I can feel 100% in my own skin, or like I can have some roots set, and or go to a place where i feel like things flow naturally. home, to me, is where you can meet for coffee with friends, and not feel like time has passed. it is where you can stay at a friends, and not feel like you are being a burden. it is where you see places that you can know that your passions can be engaged. it is where you know that no matter how long you go away for, you can come back, knowing that you have a community. you can leave, knowing that when you return, you have comforts. home has a sense of comfort.
and, it is in this christmas season, where I hope that YOU can feel "at home." where ever that is... if home is people, or home is a location. I have had, amazingly, over the past few years many times to feel like I am spending christmas "At home." and, not once, has it been in the same location.
home should help us thrive in our environment. or maybe it is that if you find a place that you feel like you are thriving, maybe you should consider making it your home. either way, to me it seems as if it goes hand in hand. home is settling. home is warm. home should allow you to flourish and prosper and thrive.


text: Is that even possible? However, no matter how much of an oxymoron that may sound, I have to say that I was first-hand witness to this "phenomenon". The Golden Temple in Amritsar, north India, where the shot above was taken is a place of contradictions. The holiest of shrines for all Sikhs, the 300+ year old site is located in one of the more crowded cities in India (and for those, who haven't been to India you have no idea what I'm talking 'bout – take downtown Manhattan and multiply it a few items, and then add in generous portions of chaos and *maybe* it will come close) But once you walk into the Golden Temple complex, everything changes. Yes, there are still plenty of people around, as you can see above. But there is an uncanny presence of peace everywhere. Men and women from all walks of life and all religions come and worship together, creating an underlying feeling of brotherhood that is hard to describe. It is perhaps this sense of community and coexistence that lends to this atmosphere. Who knows? Whatever it is, it was perhaps because of the many such contradictions that exist in Indian society today that this image was the fitting cover image for Nobel Laureate V.S.Naipaul's New York Times bestselling book simply titled – "India". I have not read the book yet, but would like to someday.

Alstom delivers the last vehicle for SBB Pendolino fleet
Alstom delivers the last vehicle for SBB Pendolino fleet :Alstom has just delivered the last Pendolino ETR 610 high-speed train to SBB, in accordance with the planned schedule defined within the contract signed in 2015 for four additional trains.

So I have been in deep thought these past few weeks. What the hell did I do wrong? The reason why I ask myself this is because every single guy that I have ever encountered in my dating life has disappeared. Not even going to lie to you and say, I don't care, I do.
Was it me being too nice, too gay, not gay enough? Did I come off too strong, not strong enough? I literally have been beating myself up about this for quite sometime. Here is the thing I don't understand. How the fuck do these Jobless, Careless, Ruthless, guys just have dudes flocking to them?
I thought to myself, "Is it the no driving thing that is why I am single?" No I see MANY people who don't drive have guys fighting to get with them. I live on my own, I am self sufficient. I don't rely on someone to get by. I know what your thinking, "Your Over thinking it". It does however, take a toll on my mind when I tell a guy a simple compliment as, "Your cute" and he is GONE! I know I am not a ten but shit I took a shower. LOL
I just don't get it. It just seems so easy for other guys. Hell I deleted the hoodrat apps, decided to switch up the approach to it but me just speaking or giving compliments or going in that direction make them disappear. I know I sound so juvenile right now but this is something that has been bothering my mind for a while.

The Write Stuff
A Better Copywriting Service
This site is a personal web site that started as a hobby and still is! I have a strong passion for my faith and so believe in sharing it with others. I do believe that God has blessed me with great talents and I need to use my talents to glorify Him.
I have been a practicing Catholic since April 26, 2004 and was baptized at Stella Maris Catholic Church. I have been going to Catholic churches since birth (Holy Rosary Catholic Church, Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic Church and then Stella Maris Catholic Church) and had a burning desire to become a practicing Catholic after I got married in February 2002. Now I am an active member in my parish – Reader, Sunday School Coordinator(until 2013), Liturgical Committee, completed my course as a Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion in 2012, a member of the Diocese of Kingston's Evangelization Commission and Communication Commission – and I'm now doing a course at St. Michael's Theological Collage to become a Lay Minister.
This site is not an official site of the Catholic Church. As a layman, and as a private apostolate, it does not require the approval or supervision of the Church. However, I take great pains to ensure that nothing which promotes disobedience or dissent is to be found on the site. I take very seriously the Lord's admonition that it would be better to have millstones around our necks than lead the innocent (or ignorant) into error. If you want a site that will give "both sides" of an argument, then this site isn't for you. This site wants to show you the brilliance and the splendor of Catholicism.
My aim for this site is to be a place of daily devotion, articles, prayer requests, a resource for RCIA and Sunday School, and for the sharing of testimonies. A place where Catholics and non-Catholics alike can come and learn about scripture.
Visiting this site is free (and always will be!). However, there are costs involved in running the site and keeping it live. I don't have a staff like some of the other Catholic sites on the web and, so, I ask you to be patient if this site isn't updated as frequently as theirs. I do believe God has truly blessed me, so the cost to run this site is nothing compared to the cost He paid for my sins.
There is only one payment I ask of you. Please always keep me and my family – Merrick, Craig, Christian and Abigail DaCosta, in your prayers and ask God to bless our efforts with this site. Pray that it reaches the people who most need or want to learn the information we link to.
And one other thing, Don't keep this site a secret! If you love this site, then tell someone about it! Put a note about us in your parish newsletter or use the "tell a friend!" link at the top of each page to email your friends about how great this site is!
