Guest essay by Jimmy Cox
(NOTE: This post serves as a continuation of last week's essay "Fraternity and Freedom." As a new professional in higher education, Jimmy gives his thoughts on how our organizations can be forces for building responsible men and women, especially through event planning -- John)
Student organizations come with a lot of responsibility. I believe fraternities and sororities have some of the most responsibility out of all of them. Every member of a fraternity and sorority understands that stereotypes are one of our biggest hindrances. There are many positive things done by the fraternity and sorority community nationwide. However, our negative actions whether it is hazing, alcohol and drug abuse, racism, property damage or something else will always garner more attention. Yet, since I have started working in higher education and student affairs, I have noticed that besides the community service, philanthropy and other positive activities chapters conduct, their responsibility in event management and planning is phenomenal.
In my current job, student activities and orientation, part of my work includes advising student organizations. One of our policies at Marian University is that if student organizations take a trip, they need at least one or two advisors accompanying them. On the trips that I have been a part of, I did not really do much of anything. I had the utmost confidence that if I had not gone on the trip, the student organizations could have handled any problem. This got me thinking about how fraternities and sororities are treated when it comes to advising. The events that are attended most by advisors are probably chapter meetings and recruitment events. Whether it is a social event, community service project, retreat, formals or a philanthropy project, chapters plan and coordinate the events without the help of an advisor. Even in the event of an emergency the chapter may give us a call, but they have to take care of the problem at that moment.
Formals and retreats are an excellent example. In most of these instances, the chapter must organize transportation, reserve a location, put together a guest list and have policies in place in case of an emergency. These are not easy tasks and they require a lot of work. There are certainly cases in which things have gone wrong. We have all heard horror stories of hotel rooms being destroyed, drunk driving, underage drinking and chapters being barred from returning to a venue, but you never hear the successful stories. My chapter recently hosted their winter formal back in December. They rented a bus, reserved a ballroom and a block of rooms at a hotel to stay the night. The event had a cash bar and the men hired a police officer to act as security. The only minor issue they had was being told to keep the noise level down at the hotel. The next week they even wrote cards expressing thanks to the formal site and the hotel for letting them use their property. As a member of our advisory board, I could not have been happier. They worked hard to plan and manage an event that could have very well had a number of things go wrong. However, they put responsible members in charge who were able to plan the event well, manage it effectively and ensure that afterwards, the proper people were thanked. They represented themselves, their fraternity and their school to the best of their ability.
The funny thing out of all of this: they did not even recognize what happened. To them it was just another formal that they had hosted. Members got together, had fun, and then went home the next day. What really happened? Officers planned well in advance an event in another city that required responsible budgeting and risk management. They reserved a location and transportation, acquired security, and saw to the details of food and entertainment. All of this was done without the help of an advisor. Our men and women are very capable of accomplishing these tasks all on their own. It comes down to recruiting the right people and giving them the resources to be successful. The worst thing we can do as advisors is micromanage them by holding their hands throughout the process. There were not advisors to our men and women when they started our organizations. Look at what we have become now.
I am not in any way advocating that advisors are of no use. They most certainly are. If my chapter had asked for my help, I would have offered my advice and suggestions. If an emergency occurs, our advisors are made aware almost immediately. Probably the most important use of our time is to be someone the students can vent to and someone who will extend support in difficult times. However, the moment when we begin to micromanage the organizations and take away the students' autonomy, is the moment when they begin to rely on us rather than trust their instincts. It prevents them from learning from their mistakes and fully developing as men and women.
My challenge to our undergraduate men and women across the country is to realize the responsibility you have. Understand that when it is used correctly, it can outweigh many of the negative stories out there about our community. It may not get publicized on the evening news, but there are those of us out there watching and it makes us very proud. By succeeding at your events and programs, you are ensuring that the ones who came before you are able to return to relish in and congratulate you on your successes. The next time you are successful at recruitment, plan and manage a responsible social event, organize a community service project or just put together a nice dinner for the chapter next door, remember that it takes responsible men and women to do these things.

Singur, a small town in Hooghly district of West Bengal, got the attention of the media from around the globe because a world renowned business stalwart, Ratan Tata declared that Singur will be the place for history to take birth. It was decided that Tata's unique and much hyped $2,500 car-the Nano will be manufactured at an industrial plant in Singur. Tata's entry could have proven to be the Midas touch for the town in particular and the state at large. But, the politicization of the Industrial project of great national importance has brutally deprived Singur of its chances to get transformed into another Jamshedpur.
Now, the Tatas have pulled out of Singur in view of the agitation led by Trinamool Congress leader, Mamta Bannerjee. The ruling government proved to be inefficient in handling the golden opportunity, which could have restored Bengal's status of being one of the most industrialized states of India like it was in the 1950s. The government couldn't assess the needs and wishes of its farmers and consequently, it failed to chalk out a plan, whereby it could have used a major industrial project for the general good. A wiser management of the controversy on the part of the Government could have done the much required trick. For instance, recently the Government of Maharashtra conducted a general consensus among the people of villages, where an industrial project was proposed. This helped the management to find out the real stand of the people and then chalk out a plan, which satisfies the majority. The planning process of bigger things becomes much easier with a simple exercise like this. But, I guess the Bengal government was a little frivolous in handling the project, especially when the sparks of agitation were present at the beginning too, which were completely over-looked instead of being nipped in the bud. The opposition party used anomalies on the part of the government to its best. Mamta Bannerjee conducted the agitation against the government in the most dramatic style spending lakhs of rupees on a daily basis. One look at the turn of events and it's obvious that progress of the state is getting choked in the shackles of inefficient and wrongly aggressive politics.
The pull out of Tatas from Bengal will hurt the state for times to come because the whole chaos that has emerged as a result of this unfortunate event has tarnished the state's image. Its immediate effect is to be seen on the people of Singur, who are bewildered as their future lies in a fix. The gravity of the situation can be more explicitly illustrated by the following data which amazed me:
Appointment by Tata Motors: 752 ITI trainees
For Construction Activity: 4,000 workers and labourers (daily)
22 construction supply syndicates: 4,500 labourers
Associated small business: 500 workers.
People who had started working with the firm know the real gravity of the pull out and the dire consequences that will follow. And more than anyone else they know what changes would have come about if the project was allowed to run smoothly. But, now those hopes are certainly shattered.
Tatas are known for their larger commitment towards the nation and they have set examples by fulfilling corporate social responsibility in a superb fashion. The Bengal Government would have never imagined that these sparks will get converted into mighty flames and will assimilate in them an era of advancement and prosperity, which Singur was destined for. Many people saw the entry of Tatas as a coveted realization of some fond dream, but now that dream ride has come to a sordid end.

Today is the third and final day of the MLB draft.
With their first selection of the day and the 11th of this draft, the Mets took high school outfielder Jack Schneider out of Kentucky. Schneider has committed to Murray State.
Their 12th round pick was Bryson Hutchison out of DeLand high school from Florida. The same town that produced Mets ace, Jacob deGrom. He is committed to Mississippi University.
Their 13th round pick was Nathan Peden out of University HS from Florida. He is committed to Daytona State.
Their 14th pick was catcher, Matthew Duce out of Dallas Baptist University. He hits lefty and has hit well in all his years at Dallas.
Their 15th round selection was Dylan Snypes out of Oral Roberts University who was the 25th ranked prospect out of Oklahoma.
Jack Schneider
Jack Schneider is a 2017 OF/RHP with a 6-3 190 lb. frame from Owensboro, KY who attends Daviess County. Large frame with a lean, athletic build and wiry strength throughout. Frame projects to support additional size and strength while maintaining athleticism. Ran a 6.16 sixty yard dash. Primary outfielder with smooth paced actions while closing on the baseball. Clean glove actions while picking up baseball with an extended, smooth paced glove to hand transfer. Huge arm strength from a mid three-quarters arm slot, topped at 98 mph. Throws creating very good carry to the bag with accuracy. Right handed hitter with a spread, straight stance. Hands load to a deep, strong position while weight shifts back. Level, line drive swing plane that flashed solid leverage through extension at times. Swings with intent creating very good bat speed through the zone with developing barrel feel. When squared, baseball jumps off barrel with very good backspin and carry to the gaps. Very projectable tools all around that will continue to improve with maturity and repetition. Good student. Committed to Murray State. Named to the 2016 Ohio Valley Showcase Top Prospect List.
Bryson Hutchison
Hutchinson has shown electric stuff in flashes. In short bursts, his fastball can work up to 95 mph with sinking action, though he tends to pitch mostly in the low 90s. Hutchinson backs it up with a sharp, low-80s slider that projects as an above-average pitch. Standing at 6-foot-6, he's a physical specimen, and his imposingly broad shoulders and golden locks evoke physical comparisons to Noah Syndergaard. Hutchinson has a full, fluid arm action and generates above average arm speed. He'll need to improve his consistency; his fastball can sometimes dip into the upper 80s and lack life and his breaking ball hasn't always been there when scouts have gone to see him this spring. Hutchinson's high ceiling and impressive late performance could entice a team to take a shot at signing him, or he could honor his Mississippi State commitment and try to boost his draft stock in college.
Nathan Pede
No Scouting Report but the quick run down on him: had a 1.69 ERA in 41.1 innings this year. Recorded 39 strikeouts in those innings. His fastball is 87-88 and can touch 91. His 6'3″ frame could mean he can add some velocity going forward.
From HS: Four-year letterman at Buena High School … Coached by Adam Thrasher … Named the 2014 Division II Section II Player of the Year in Arizona after hitting .455 with six homeruns and 36 RBI … Earned All-State recognition following his senior season … Tabbed to the West Region Honorable Mention Team by Perfect Game in 2014 … A Second Team All-State selection in 2013 … Played in the 2013 Area Code Games … Recognized as a Preseason High School Underclassmen All-American Honorable Mention selection in 2013 … Played for the White Sox Scout team in the summer.
He hit .333/.424/.554 this year and has a career .936 OPS at school.
Dylan Snypes
Snypes hit .335/.393/.438 to lead Oral Roberts in batting. He's more likely to get picked as a senior next year, but as a shortstop with at least an average arm, he may get some interest this year

In the last few years of appearances, I've been fortunate enough to meet and speak with many wonderful librarians, and they all understand the true power of Graphic Novels -- they can get teenagers to read!
I encourage librarians to shop at their local comics stores as often as possible. On the right you will also see a list of comic stores that carry Vögelein, but if you don't see one near you, you can always call the Comic Shop Locator Service at 1-888-COMIC-BOOK (266-4226).The Vögelein books are available from the following retailers:
If you wish to order directly from me, you can do so by sending $12 (special price for libraries only, includes a $3.50 shipping charge) to my PayPal account at email@example.com, or by sending a $12 check or money order to:Fiery Studios
Please indicate if you will need a receipt or invoice.
Note: Please be aware that I only check the PO Box about once every two weeks. If you need to contact me quickly or need an order shipped in a hurry, please contact me online. I cannot guarantee a swift response to mail sent to the PO Box.
Here are some of the very kind things that some popular Library-oriented publications had to say about my first graphic novel, Vögelein: Clockwork Faerie: Booklist, November 1st, 2003
"Gr. 5-up... This modern fable is a rare treasure that weaves fanciful imagination into themes of individuality, diversity, and independence. The art is beautifully shaded black and white, and it carries the narrative impeccably, bringing across both the emotions of the characters and the depth of their world. Great for middle readers who like graphic novels or for younger children to share with an adult."
Booklist also named Vögelein: Clockwork Faerie to its 2003 Top Ten Graphic Novels for Youth.
"This is a touching story, somber and reflective, and Irwin's exquisite, realistic black-and-white paintings fit the book's air of memory and strangeness very well. Recommended for teen and adult fans of prose fantasies in modern settings at all libraries."
"When I settled down to read Jane Irwin's Vögelein, I suspected I was in for a treat, and boy was I right. Vögelein, the title character, is a true heroine: independent, strong-willed, but also at times naive, uncertain, and afraid without being any less strong... The artwork is all grayscale, and the somber quality of the solid and fluid art perfectly fits the tale. This volume acts more as an introduction to Vögelein and her world, and I can only beg for more!"
"Irwin creates an original tale that harks back to good old-fashioned storytelling. Teens who grew up with fairy tales and fantasy will enjoy it ... It's suitable for middle and high school libraries, with some fascinating bits of history and watch making along with the gentle fantasy, and lots of snippets from great poetry of the past."
You can also go here to read the full reviews.

To help librarians create a collection of excellent graphic novels that includes independently published books such as the one I created, I've spoken with Kalamazoo YA Librarian Kevin King. Kevin was kind enough to lend me these handouts -- the very same ones he uses when giving his presentation at Library conferences.

Palestinians killed in Israel Gaza air strike
Israel says its jets have hit two targets in the Gaza Strip.
The Israeli military said the targets were Hamas weapon manufacturing facilities, adding that the strikes were in response to two rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel.
A pregnant woman and her young daughter in a nearby house were killed, Palestinian officials said.
In the West Bank, Israeli police say a Palestinian woman set off an explosive device at a checkpoint.
She was stopped by police while driving on Sunday morning near the Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim.
She "shouted 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great) and detonated an explosive device", a police spokeswoman said, adding that the woman was in critical condition and a policeman was slightly wounded.
Initial reports had said the woman had died in the blast.
Following Sunday's air strikes, Israel Defense Forces' spokesman Lt Col Peter Lerner said: "The IDF holds Hamas responsible for any act of aggression from the Gaza Strip."
As well as the two reported deaths, medical staff in the Zeitun sector south of Gaza City say three people are trapped in the rubble of the destroyed house.

Review of Sleeperkid's world – LUCY PURR meets THE MACHINE – 14 mins
The Machine claims yet ANOTHER victim, and this time it's the stunning Lucy Purr! We fade in on Lucy delivering a very anti-Machine message to her fans (and Sumiko…who provides commentary)…only to have the masked maniac himself creep up and slap on a tight sleeper hold! It's lights out for Lucy, leading to a one-sided beatdown that she won't soon forget!
I got to come right out the gate and just say that I love Lucy! When she started I thought she was good, she always had the looks, but now that she's been here for a while and has clearly gotten conformable, she is doing some really top notch selling, recently "LUCY PURR vs THE INVISIBLE" and now this, Lucy has made herself another favorite in my book and someone that I truly look forward to seeing in action more often. That being said, this one starts out as a pretty normal one sided beatdown, with Sumiko providing some great pro-Lucy/anti-Machine commentary, then suddenly turns into a far beyond driven match when The Machine decides to hand out piledriver after piledriver, quickly reducing Lucy to a twitchy, near ragdoll state. Of course Sumiko cranks it up too, literally begging The Machine to stop the madness, which he eventually does, but not before Lucy is completely destroyed with about 10 (guessing) back to back piledrivers. As you guys know, I'm a huge one sided match fan and this is one that just reminds us, Tiny isn't the only one that can hand out massive piledriver destructions. This was a brutal squash that has definitely moved Lucy up a few places on my never ending list of favorite jobbers list and should be missed by any fan of Lucy or one sided squash fans, like me.
Overall Score: 9.9/10

Another Easter Basket
Today I received my second swap basket. This one came from Andrea at Vintage Bella Studio. Lots and lots of craft supplies along with bubble gum! The cute little egg shaped pieces in miniature egg crates. Yum, yum. I took a few pictures in hopes of showing everything.
Signs of Spring are finally surfacing in the Midwest. We had a long, cold winter and everyone is anxious for some warmth and sun. This morning I saw buds on the trees and bushes, some bulbs in bloom and SUN!!! Everyday you can heard the landscapers doing the spring cleanup. My chives and lovage are up in the garden. It will be another 6 weeks before I can put any annuals in the ground.

Tech. Notes
These close coupled centrifugal water pumps are
selected specifically for use in pumping coolant water in laser
systems. All parts of the pump exposed to water are plastic or other
inert material, and are ideal for use in distilled and deionized water
systems. Pumps are available with both single phase and three phase
motors, and impeller sizes as listed below. Centrifugal pumps are
popular for use in laser systems because of their high water flow
capability. The U.S. Laser pump line accommodates most commercial laser
systems. Contact the U.S. Laser sales department for special pump
These regenerative turbine water pumps provide an
effective alternative to centrifugal pumps when moderate pressure and
high flow is desired. The pump housing and impeller are fabricated from
316 stainless steel with Viton seal and ceramic seat. Pumps are
available with dual voltage single phase motors, which are typically
much lower horsepower than corresponding centrifugal pumps due to the
pups higher efficiency. For further information on these pumps for
laser applications, please contact the U.S. Laser sales department.
Replacement parts for centrifugal water pumps used
in U.S. Laser and other popular laser systems.
Heat exchangers are used in laser systems to
extract heat from the coolant water using either tap water or a
refrigerant. U.S. Laser heat exchangers are fabricated from 304
Stainless steel using the spiral plate design for high efficiency. Two
sizes are available, one for heat loads up to 8 KW, and one for heat
loads up to 20 KW. For application on systems other than produced by
U.S. Laser, contact sales department for further assistance.
These replacement mixed bed resin deionizers are
designed to maintain the electrical integrity of the laser system
cooling water by removing unwanted mineral ions. Deionizers should be
changed at intervals of 6 months or less depending on system usage.
Replacement water filters for U.S. Laser, Control
Laser, Holobeam and other laser systems using 9 3/4" elements. Standard
filtration rating is 5 um. For systems using shorter than standard
element lengths, filter may be cut to size. Water filters should be
replaced every 6 months or sooner, and should be replaced
simultaneously with the deionizer cartridge.
Proportioning valves are designed to regulate the
water temperature in laser cooling systems. When properly installed,
coolant water temperature can be maintained to +/- 1oC. Regulating
temperature is factory preset and is not adjustable. Because
proportioning valves constantly regulate the water flow, they do not
suffer from the severe temperature swings typical from other systems,
and are not affected by changing heat load conditions. Valve is
constructed from plastic, stainless steel and other inert material to
be fully compatible with distilled water. Two valves are available, one
for most common laser systems, and one for high powered systems that
require higher water flow. If you are unsure of the proportioning valve
you need, please contact the U.S. Laser sales dept., we will be glad to
assist you in selection of the proper valve.
Solenoid valves are used on the secondary water
side (tap or refrigerated water) of systems equipped with proportioning
valves to shut off the system water flow when power is removed.
Solenoids are 24 VAC, and have 0.5" female NPT inlet and outlets.
These inline flow switches are used in the
interlock loop on U.S. Laser laser systems to sense proper coolant flow
levels. Switches are constructed of all plastic and stainless steel,
and are suitable for use with distilled water coolant. Switches are
normally open, and are activated when coolant flows.
Level switches are mounted in the side of the
coolant system reservoir, and are used to sense coolant level. Switches
are constructed of all plastic and are suitable for use with distilled
Used in the U.S. Laser interlock loop to protect
the system in the event of an over temperature condition. Switches are
available in both standard and close tolerance.
U.S. Laser stocks a line of plastic water tubing
suitable for use with distilled water. Semi-rigid tubing is suitable
for medium pressure supply and return lines to the laser head, while
the Tygon flexible tubing is primarily used for Q-switch, and other low
pressure (<20 PSI) utility uses. Reinforced tubing is
good for use at pressures up to 150 PSI. Tubing is sold by
length, please specify desired length to the nearest foot.
U.S. Laser stocks an extensive line of water
fittings specifically for use in laser cooling system plumbing.
Depending on the area of usage, fitting are available in either nylon,
stainless steel, or brass. Nylon and Stainless steel fittings are used
on the primary (distilled water) cooling circuit, while brass or nylon
fittings are used on the secondary (tap water) side. Consult U.S. Laser
sales department for help in selecting the correct fitting.

AN ENERGETIC 66-year old businessman from Greenfield has taken on the ultimate survival challenge as a competitor in Channel 4's 'The Island with Bear Grylls'.
Frank Rothwell, who owns Manchester Cabins, is the oldest of 16 competitors selected out of thousands to take part in the BAFTA winning show, now in its fourth series.
The show sees ordinary Britons abandoned on uninhabited islands in the Pacific, facing treacherous weather conditions, severely limited resources, environmental hazards and near starvation.
This fourth series focuses on the generation gap and if the enthusiasm and energy of youth trump the experience and wisdom of age.
On one island, eight castaways aged between 18-30 are abandoned while on the neighbouring island is a group of eight older castaways.
The Islanders have to fend for themselves armed only with some survival training, the clothes they stand up in, filming equipment, medical supplies, some basic tools and fishing equipment and enough water for 24 hours.
Without spoiling the secrets of the show, Frank, who has sailed around the world in his own yacht, spoke to the show about why he wanted to take part in such a gruelling challenge.
"I am a person who always seizes the opportunity. An adventure like this cannot be bought. I am a doer. I could not miss an opportunity like this," he said.
"This was another challenge and another box to tick off in the list of life. Later in life I don't want to be in my rocking chair thinking I could have done that."
Frank, who has worked since the age of 13, added: "I have done an awful lot in my life. I already knew my limits. It is in my nature to prosper and thrive.
"The toughest part was missing Judith, my wife of 46 years. I had mentally conditioned myself to realise I was going to go without food; so not eating was not an issue for me."
He added: "The different age groups is a good concept. Having an under 30s and an over 30s group dynamic was interesting. The strongest group, I thought, was the older."
Speaking about his latest show, Bear Grylls said: "I think it was the hardest season we've ever done.
"We had horrific conditions, beyond anything we've ever seen. Every hour brings a fresh twist and turn. And it's a full-on mental, physical, emotional and spiritual assault."
He added: "One of the things I always think is young people get a really hard time. Everyone's got opinions about young people, and those opinions are not always great.
"So, I thought let's see if the exuberance and passion of youth can triumph over the experience and dogged determination and hardiness of so many older people."
Viewers can see 'The Island with Bear Grylls' Episode 1 on Channel 4 on Sunday, April 23 at 9pm then Episode 2 on Monday 24 at 9pm.

For free rooms, they require the following buy ins:
Grandview Hotel may be 25 years old, but it's aged pretty well and remains a very good budget option. Although the rooms are somewhat dated, they're still fairly large and perfectly acceptable for the price you pay. I've always been pleased with my stays there.
Rates are in Hong Kong dollars inclusive of all taxes and fees.
If you want Internet access in your room, the price is $100 for 24 hours. Free Wifi is also available in the lobby.
Grandview's outdoor swimming pool is pretty large for a 4 star hotel, measuring 7 by 14 meters. Unheated, it's closes down every year between November and March.
There's also a small Pool Bar, which offers juice ($38), tea ($30), beers ($25) and cocktails ($28 to $40).
The pool is located on the 2nd floor and keeps hours daily between 8 am and 8 pm.
Kuan I Hin - Also known as "Grandview Chinese Restaurant", Kuan I Hin serves Cantonese fare, with appetizers $38 to $78, barbecue $58 to $98, vegetables $68 to $88 and poultry $98 to $198. Abalone, bird's nest and shark's fin are expectedly pricy, running up to $2380, while seafood is $150 to $580, and Chef's Recommendations $58 to $680.
Kuan I Hin can be found on the 2nd floor in the South Wing and keeps hours from 11 am to 3 pm and 6 pm to 11 pm. On weekends, it opens an hour earlier in the morning.
Valencia - Staff told me they have some of the lowest prices in Macau and they weren't wrong. This Western restaurant does main course meals like African chicken, beef tenderloin and lamb chops for only $98 to $138 while Macanese food is $68 to $78 and seafood only $138. Appetizers ($58), soup ($38 to $58), and salad ($48 to $58) are also very reasonably priced. Breakfast costs $98 for in house guests while dinner is $110.
Valencia is also located on the second floor and is open daily from 7 am to 10:30 pm.
Cherrie's Corner - Warm little lobby bar offers beer that starts from $33 while harder fare is around $32 to $42. Cocktails stay in that range too, only $40, while brandy is a little pricier, $45 to $85. Fruit juice, coffee and tea are also available for $28 to $38. The food menu consists of fast food, like chicken wings, deep fried shrimp, french fries and fish, for $35 to $78. Set noodle meals, finally, are $32.
Cherrie's Corner keeps gambler's time, and stays open 24/7.
Grandview's gym is a little on the small side, but they have enough machines to get the job done. In addition to a treadmill, there's also a couple of steppers and some free weights. Located on the 2nd floor, the gym keeps hours daily from 9 am to 11 pm.
Both the men's and women's change rooms also have saunas that guests can use free of charge.
Much like Taipa Square, Grandview is a decent choice for those who plan to spend a lot of time on the Cotai Strip, but don't want to pay Cotai Strip prices. Where you should stay probably hinges on how much rooms cost at the Holiday Inn at Sands Cotai Central. If the rates are similar, Grandview becomes rather redundant; however, if the Holiday Inn is $200 or $300 more, then Grandview slides back into the picture. It all boils down to how tight your purse strings are.
Grandview Hotel is located right beside the Macau Jockey Club in Taipa, about a 10 minute walk from Galaxy and the Cotai Strip.

Black Box Thinking: The surprising truth about success
Learning from failure has the status of a cliché. But it turns out that, for reasons both prosaic and profound, a failure to learn from mistakes has been one of the single greatest obstacles to human progress. Matthew Syed
Is success down to luck, judgement, or something else?
When US airlines flight 1549 was famously landed safely in the Hudson river in 2009, people around the world hailed the pilot as a hero and the story became a Hollywood film. But Captain Sullenberger himself pointed out that his success was due entirely to all the people who had made mistakes before him – "Everything we know in aviation, every rule in the rule book, every procedure we have, we know because someone somewhere died".
The black box – which records data and voice from the cockpit and can be retrieved after accidents to find out what really happened – has been fundamental to dramatically improving the safety record of the airline industry. Today, there is just 1 accident for every 2.4 million flights, but when the industry started deaths of pilots, crew and passengers were tragically frequent.
The best-selling author Matthew Syed has studied businesses and individuals in detail to identify the importance of the Black Box approach and uncover fascinating examples of Black Box thinkers and organisations across industries, from Team Sky, to Dyson, to Google.
In the first part of the book, Syed explains how the airline industry has adopted a unique approach to problems that has made it one of the safest ways to travel. Airlines know that to survive commercially safety has to be paramount. Rather than feeling threatened by errors, findings from the black box and subsequent independent reports are immediately shared across the industry so that updated instructions can be issued to all pilots and airline staff.
This open culture, where accidents are examined in detail to find out exactly what went wrong and how to avoid them, is in stark contrast to the healthcare sector where mistakes are much more likely to be covered up. How often do we hear medical accidents explained away as 'just one of those things' or 'we did our best'. While it is true that medical staff achieve amazing things under difficult circumstances, with restraints on resources and complex diagnosis and procedures, all too often mistakes are hidden to protect individuals or institutions, meaning that no patterns can be identified and shared, and more people die or are injured in preventable circumstances. An autopsy should be seen as the medical equivalent of a black box.
In healthcare, the scientific and analytical approach has been applied to new drugs, but not, on the whole, to the complex question of how real people working in large systems deliver treatments. This helps explains why medical errors now kill more people than traffic accidents.
For new and better methods to work, however, huge effort has to be put into changing the culture in organisations so that people lower down the chain of command are encouraged to speak up. Senior doctors and consultants are often seen as infallible so that more junior staff feel too intimidated to voice suggestions even if they know what can help in critical situations.
And healthcare need not fear a huge increase in litigation if mistakes are openly admitted. Hospitals in the US who have changed their culture and introduced methodical ways to report issues have reported dramatic drops in claims and lawsuits.
In the rest of the book, Syed delves into more failures, our response to them and how they can result in innovation and growth cultures. For example, biologists from Unilever methodically tested 449 physical adaptations of a nozzle to finally get the right design that didn't clog, a shape that would never have been developed from theoretical calculations but came about through rigorous experimentation, and failure.
Many of the most successful ideas, from Dropbox, to Dyson's vacuum-less bags to ATMs are actually a creative response to a problem – without a problem, flaw or frustration, innovation has nothing to latch onto.
Perhaps it is finally time to admit that failure, embrace the opportunities it brings, and start building your own black box culture.

Matthew Syed is a bestselling author and writer for The Times. He is regularly featured on Newsnight, CNN and World Service TV and was the England table tennis number one champion for almost a decade, three times Commonwealth champion and twice represented Great Britain in the Olympic Games. He graduated from Oxford University with a prize-winning first in Politics, Philosophy and Economics after attending a state school that he left aged 16 to focus on table tennis. Syed co-founded Greenhouse, a charity that empowers youngsters through sport.
"Creative breakthroughs always begin with multiple failures. This brilliant book shows how true invention lies in the understanding and overcoming of these failures, which we must learn to embrace." James Dyson, Designer, Inventor and Entrepreneur
"Excellent . . . This book is a sustained argument about the damage done by the growth of blame culture in Britain and America . . . Syed's lively book is a powerful warning of the damage such a culture can do." The Times

P.S.: It is for experimental version - testing branch. Make sure you have it activated on steam, or you won't have Ruscko and Pigman's house.
P.S.2: No, i don't have OCD. (Really, not kidin', just was having long time while waiting for racing saturday. )
EDIT:I am sorry for the mess from table - lost fishtrap in the middle of the lake, so i respawned it to flashlight position, which makes it and spray cans fall down. Oh, and to be exact, it's not absolutely fair played. I builted my satsuma, starter blow off after starting, because it had 29% wear already in beginning. So i downloaded save with mostly same progress. Hope it doesn't matter so much. Maybe someone can tell me, how it works, with spawning in start of the game? Parts obviously can be worn, but how much? Isn't it worth it to take all the parts to fleetari before building satsuma?

Game Notes: Oregon State & Portland
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 4/5 Florida State opens the 2011 season on the west coast for the second year in a row and the fourth time in school history. This year, the Seminoles face a pair of ranked opponents in No. 13/19 Oregon State and No. 11/7 Portland.
FSU is 10-5-1 all-time on opening day, including a mark of 3-4-0 when opening the season on the road. The Seminoles enter Friday night's game in Corvallis having won three straight season openers outscoring the opposition 13-0 during that span. Under head coach Mark Krikorian, FSU owns a record of 5-1-0 on opening day, including a mark of 2-1-0 on the opposition's home turf.
Friday's match against Oregon State marks the second time these two teams have met to open a season. FSU and Oregon State played to a scoreless double overtime draw back in 2002 in Tallahassee. The Seminoles outshot the Beavers 23-10 in that game but both keepers combined for 17 saves including six by FSU's Kerry York.
FSU has fared well against teams from the Pac-12 Conference boasting an all-time record of 12-4-1 against the league's current members. The Seminoles are 5-1 on the road against the Pac-12 with their lone loss coming at Stanford last year in the NCAA Tournament Quarterfinals.
Florida State returns to the University of Portland for the first time since the two schools battled it out in a top 10 showdown back in 2007 at Merlo Field. The #4 Pilots came out victorious defeating the #6 Seminoles 2-1 in overtime.
Sunday's contest marks the fourth all-time meeting between the two schools. Both teams have won on their home turf while the Pilots took a 3-1 neutral site contest in Winston-Salem back in 2001.

We are a group of parents, teachers and volunteers whose primary role is to support our school by organising activities, helping with the school activities and events, as well as raising money for our children. As we are a registered charity an Annual General Meeting (AGM) is required once a year, usually in October.
We try to organise social events for the children and the family and of course some 'grown up' events! To do this we aim to meet on a regular basis, on average once per half term to arrange and organise.
Our regular events include a Pumpkin Party with a disco, hot dogs, drinks and games. The children always have a great time. The money raised throughout the year also sends the whole school to a pantomime at Christmas, "Oh no you don't"... "Oh yes we do".
Past projects include, refurbishing the children's cookery room, helping finance the outdoor classroom, the installation of netball posts and cameras for the classrooms.
There are always ideas for fundraising events however we are always open to new and fresh ideas.
Every parent and carer is automatically a member of FOBS. It's up to you how much or how little you are willing or able to take part in to help your children. You can either be a helper or join the committee. If you would like to get involved on way or another then please come along to the next meeting to meet everyone and see what it's all about. It is a very friendly atmosphere and everyone is welcome.
You can either ask at the school office for details or speak with Venessa Jones (Chairman & Treasurer) or Claire Garden (Secretary).
It would be great to see you, the more the merrier.

I've been away from this blog for a while, but I want to get it rolling again and start off 2018 right. And what better way to do that than by sharing my personal top picks from books I've read in 2017?
I read a lot of translated literature, so to avoid confusion, I've cut the following list into two parts: original works published in English in 2017 and translations published in English in 2017 (and in the U.S., if it comes to that, because that's what determines when I can get stuff).
While Lit All Over has a special focus on literature all over the globe, and I read in French (while working on a couple other languages), I haven't yet made a point of writing about foreign literature that's not available in English translation. (For that, see the The Untranslated.)
This list includes prose collections of various kinds and novels. As far as poetry goes, I just unfortunately haven't read enough full books of it from 2017 to be able to include anything specific on this list. As always, I have books on my reading list that I haven't gotten to, and I feel that I haven't read enough.
This is a fairly casual and short list, but I hope it serves its intended purpose of helping anyone enjoy something they wouldn't otherwise have found.
My Favorite Books of 2017
Books Written in English
Through the Sad Wood Our Corpses Will Hang by Ava Farmehri (Guernica Editions)
I'm putting this first because it's probably the "smallest" book on this list in terms of press. It's also a debut. Through the Sad Wood Our Corpses Will Hang is (maybe not so reliably) narrated by a twenty-year-old Iranian girl who has been jailed for the crime of murdering her mother. It charms the reader with its soft, vivid depictions of nature and family life while making profound cuts into politics and philosophy. The cover art and title are intriguing and the book does not disappoint. You can read my full review of it here. You can also read an excerpt here.
So Much Blue by Percival Everett (Graywolf Press)
Percival Everett's So Much Blue covers three alternating timelines in the life of Kevin Pace, a painter who questions the validity of both his career choice and his art.
In one timeline, Kevin is being swept up in the troubles of a friend whose brother may have gotten himself into a bit of a pickle in war-threatened El Salvador. In another, Kevin is a known artist on the brink of having an affair with a much younger watercolorist in Paris. In the third, he's still married to his wife of some years, Linda, and he has something he keeps from everyone—including, to a certain extent, the reader: a secret painting locked in a shed.
As the timelines progress, their subject matter begins to intersect. So Much Blue explores the relationship between life and art, but like Kevin himself, it's suspicious of sentimental or easy answers. It's more straightforward than some of Everett's previous work, but it's incredibly well crafted, and may be my favorite novel that uses alternating timelines. In true Everett fashion, So Much Blue simply nails the format.
Transit by Rachel Cusk (Macmillan)
Transit is the second book in a trilogy from writer Rachel Cusk that, according to The New Yorker, "gut-renovates" the novel. It continues the interwoven first-, second- and third-hand accounts that spider outward from Faye, the ever-present but often nearly invisible first-person narrator. In the first book of the trilogy, Outline, Faye meets with a variety of strangers on a trip to Greece to teach a writing class, and stumbles into the back alleys of their lives through conversations that merge the personal and philosophical.
Transit follows Faye through the ill-advised purchase and nightmare renovation of a barely habitable home in London, also worming its way into quick, limited depictions of people's experiences. It ranges from sad to very, very funny, whisking the reader through the negative spaces of life, through moments of hiding, exhaustion and transformation.
Somebody with a Little Hammer by Mary Gaitskill (Penguin Random House)
This, a gathering of non-fiction pieces—from personal essays to book reviews—written by Gaitskill for various publications over the years, is my most fan-girlish pick. It can't really be compared to more deliberately formed creative works from last year, it definitely has its highs and lows, and it's more of a collection of odds and ends than any sort of cohesive whole. All the same, I think this collection reinforces the fact that Gaitskill has been doing not just good but important work from Day One. You can read my full review here.
Another essay collection from a known fiction writer from 2017 that's worth checking out is Yiyun Li's Dear Friend, from My Life I Write to You in Your Life, which includes the essay "To Speak Is to Blunder," originally published in The New Yorker.
My Heart Hemmed In by Marie NDiaye (translated from the French by Jordan Stump) (Two Lines Press)
The world of My Heart Hemmed In, Marie NDiaye's latest novel in English, is like the one we live in, but just enough not like it to make us feel doubtful about how much we should sympathize with its main character, Nadia, who finds herself at odds with others in her neighborhood for reasons she doesn't understand.
We aren't given enough information to know if Nadia is a victim, having drawn the wrath of her neighbors for assuming her place in a community where she's viewed as an outsider due to her background or appearance, or if she's guilty of inflicting her own prejudices, power or privilege on others. At various times, either or both situations seem possible. Despite keeping the reader on edge, My Heart Hemmed In has an underlying warmth and humor that I wouldn't necessarily have expected from a book so fraught with tension. You can read my full review of it here.
The Hole by Hye-Young Pyun (translated from the Korean by Sora Kim-Russell) (Arcade Publishing)
This slow, subtle novel is about a man recovering from a car crash in what come to seem like threatening circumstances. Exposed to his thoughts, we begin to understand how his previous relationship with his wife colors his current relationship with his mother-in-law, in whose questionable care he's been placed. The story has elements of horror, but most of it happens underground, so to speak. Its main strength lies in its ability to slowly shift the reader's point of view. It's quiet enough to creep up on you, and ambiguous enough to make multiple readings produce different perspectives. Read my full review here.
Record of a Night Too Brief by Hiromi Kawakami (translated from the Japanese by Lucy North) (Pushkin Press)
If someone had summed up some of the weirder parts of this book to me before I read it, I probably would have come to it pre-annoyed. But I'd like to think that even in that case I'd have come around. Record of a Night Too Brief is three stories in one volume. Surreal with plenty of verve and punch, it has an Alice-in-Wonderland-for-adults quality to it.
One story follows a character having strange encounters in a world where objects and people spontaneously materialize and change form; in another, shifting family dynamics run alongside physical vanishment; the third involves snakes that take on human characteristics and insinuate themselves into people's lives. Despite its fantastical flourishes, what mainly draws me into Record of a Night Too Brief is a kind of spontaneous, ambling movement that endeavors to doggedly narrate what's beyond explanation—this reminds me of Beckett. In fact, the opening of the first story immediately made me think of the opening of Company, and shares some even more obvious traits with it.
Not One Day by Anne Garréta (translated from the French by Emma Ramadan) (Deep Vellum Publishing)
This may be my favorite book of 2017, a surprise since it springs from what first seemed to me a rather pretentious idea: Garréta, a member of the French literary group Oulipo, undertakes to recount an "alphabet" of times she desired a woman or a woman desired her. Well, sort of. Let's just say that's the way the work is initially presented. But the project doesn't adhere to its stated intentions, nor does it manifest as some sort of poseurish tribute to previous sexual conquests.
In one of the narratives in Not One Day, a woman remarks to the "author-protagonist" (as we'll briefly call the person understood to be Garréta but who for being written in the second person and other reasons gradually gets hazier) that a young girl who appears to have a crush on her must be mistaken about her gender, a comment that seems absurd for multiple reasons. In another, our hero is informed by a friend that a fellow student in her self-defense class is infatuated with her. Having no clue who it is, she spends the remainder of the class's duration reading intensely into her physical interactions with everyone.
Not One Day refuses to take its place as either a sociological essay, a memoir or a work of fiction. It explores the relationship between desire and conformity while pulling the reader close to the subject matter through its persistent "you"s and impromptu mood. It's a bittersweet excursion into the irrepressible and often perplexing matter of human longing.

Much like the pinecone bouquets, there were beautiful images of them on Pinterest, but zero tutorials on how to make them yourself. After lots of configuration, I'm here to help with that!
1 small pinecones collected from outside (you can also purchase from craft stores)
A branch of Christmas tree, collected from outside
1 packet of stem/floral wire
1 roll of brown floral tape
1 roll of twine
Hot glue gun/sticks
1 pack of 1.5 inch Bar Back Pins
Much like the bouquets, the first step is getting the floral wire into the pinecones. This was an interesting series of trial and error before it clicked and the answer was obvious.
Take the middle of the wire and push it through one of the lower rows of scales - the lowest row you can fit it through (the super low ones are too closed off). I pulled one end of the wire towards the opposite end and then did the same to the other side until the wire was even on both ends and wrapped around the pine cone, as seen below.
Now cross the wires in the center and start twisting all the way down the wire.
Once your wire is twisted, it's time to add the spruce trimming with some floral tape. This tape becomes sticky as your stretch it, but stretch it too much and it will rip, so be careful. I placed the pinecone wire on top of the branch of the spruce and just started wrapping the tape all the way down.
After the wire is wrapped in tape, it's time to add the bar back pin. Flip the pinecone over so the spruce side is facing you, open the pin and hold it in place. Start wrapping floral tape around the pin, tightly enough that it won't slide.
After that, I just added the twine not only for more reinforcement, but for looks as well. I put few dabs of hot glue at the top before wrapping the twine the same way I did the tape, while the pine is still open, and added some hot glue at the end as well.
Once the twine is set and cut, you can clip the remaining wire to the desired length and close the pin back up. That's about all it takes! Each one took about 10 minutes to make and they're simply adorable.

The Conversational Interaction Technology Innovation Alliance (CITIA) is a group of European organizations interested in the field of conversational speech technologies. On February 24-25, CITIA held its Roadmap conference in Brussels, Belgium. The purpose of the Roadmap conference is to accelerate research and innovation strategies for European public and private sector organizations in the area of conversational technologies.
I didn't attend the conference, but I've taken advantage of the videos that have been posted on the CITIA Roadmap website.
One session that I found particularly interesting was that of Steve Young, Professor of Information Engineering, University of Cambridge. Young spoke on the topic of "A Vision For Conversational Interaction Technologies (this link takes you to the presentation page; look at the top of the "Conference Programme" section to see the video for Young's session).
Young offers rationale for why speech-enabled interfaces are likely to become more important in the near future. The more apps, devices, and "things" that become connected to the Internet, the harder it is for the average user to understand how to interact with them all. No one wants to learn to navigate dozens of individual user interfaces. Instead, we want a single, unified conversational interface that we can talk to. The ideal interface would be an intelligent personal assistant.
The technologies enabling these assistants are rapidly evolving. Young's information lets him postulate that 2024 will be the year of the fully capable and fully conversational virtual personal assistant.
Young provides a brief synopsis of the technologies that make the optimal virtual personal assistant work. He touches on the areas of:
- Speech recognition and speech synthesis
- Semantic decoding and dialogue management
- Belief tracking and natural language generation
- Statistical natural language processing
- Sentiment and emotional analysis
Young believes there is a huge market opportunity for intelligent assistants. He lists the companies that he sees as the "Goliaths" in the business and contrasts them to the current "Davids." Quite a few of the Davids have already been swallowed up by Goliaths in acquisitions. Can you guess who the Goliaths are? How about the Davids? Take a look at Young's presentation to see if you guessed right.
I'm not sure exactly what the CITIA Roadmap holds, but 2024 is less than a decade away. Regardless of the outcome, the journey towards optimized conversational technologies is sure to be an interesting one over the coming years.

Praying with Lior is not just an engrossing, wrenching and tender documentary film, it is also the centerpiece of an ambitious outreach campaign to change the way people with disabilities are perceived and received by faith communities. The movie poses difficult questions such as what is "disability" and who really talks to God? Lior has Down Syndrome, and has spent his entire life praying with utter abandon. The film follows Lior from birth through his Bar Mitzvah, through the eyes of his family and community members. Told with intimacy and humor, Praying with Lior is a family story, a triumph story, a grief story, and a divinely-inspired story. Generously sponsored by the Wood River Valley Jewish Community.

Multi-dimensional Linear Processes
Multi-dimensional Linear Processes
Chapter 6 studied models based solely on the one-dimensional processes, however, for many applications, these models are often too simple and have to be replaced with or complemented by more sophisticated multi-dimensional models. This chapter studies Benford's law in the simplest deterministic multi-dimensional processes, namely, linear processes in discrete and continuous time. Despite their simplicity, these systems provide important models for many areas of science. Through far-reaching generalizations of results from earlier chapters, they will be shown to very often conform to Benford's law in that their dynamics is an abundant source of Benford sequences and functions. As in the previous chapter, the properties of continuous-time systems (i.e., differential equations) are analogous to those of discrete-time systems, and the chapter focuses on the latter in every but its last section.
Keywords: Benford's law, multi-dimensional models, linear processes, Benford sequences, Benford functions, differential equations

I met a man recently at my writer's group who said that he'd been working on a novel for almost 40 years. I sat there like "woah". Not just because like "woah" that's a long time to be working on a creative project or "woah" that's dedicated, but more like "woah", is this a vision of the future? I immediately imagined myself grey, somewhat retired and after years and years of chewing off my better half's ears about plot holes I excitedly met up with a bunch of young writers in a pub who hadn't heard about my plot holes yet and I said to them – "I've been working on this time travel story for about 40 years". They all look at me like "woah".
The idea came to me about 5 years ago in a flash bulb moment of pure genius, you know, those ones where you think – "yes, this is it, this is the thing that's going to make me the next Stephanie Meyer/JK Rowling/Cassandra Clare/Francine Pascal!" It was divine, it was my life purpose presented to me on a silver platter and I ran with it… for about a couple of days.
The years slipped through my fingers and work, relationships and a busy social life consumed me. I still had blips of inspiration while listening to 80's music or taking long showers, some revelation about plot or character would come to me and I'd open Scrivener up in a panic to get it all down. This was how I lived for years. These neglected characters trying to grab my attention and I waved them off like a busy single mother – "I'll look at it later darling."
Recently though, I've opened my ears to their pleas and my heart to my writing and I'm now working my way through the hot mess of a third draft. It's hard. It's heavy going. It's hard giving up so much time to do something you love so much because what if when it's finished it's totally crap? What if no one ever reads it? What if I self publish and everyone hates it, or worse, what if I hate it? What if, what if, what if??
What if I become that grey woman with a 40 year old unfinished manuscript?
What if I just finish it?

A week into lobster season and boats are headed out daily for their taste of local lobster. While the idea of catching local lobster has brought excitement to the community, restaurants are saying that while having local lobster available adds a nice dimension to their business, it doesn't change their approach this time of year.
With restaurants enjoying the addition of local lobster to their menus, most local fishermen have in turn shifted their business towards the sale of big game fish like snapper, tuna, wahoo and mahi, as well as providing charters services and tours, with lobster proving to be much less lucrative and more recreational.
