Thirty 5Ks… #5 (Blink and It's Over)
Sometimes when you run a whole messload of 5K races, especially on the same course, they fly by without you noticing much. Especially if nothing noteworthy happened during the race. That's what happened last Saturday morning about 9 A.M. I was at Independence Grove again. As I remarked to a lady also running the race as she was scanning the course: I've raced there probably twenty times, and run there for fitness or fun or whatever probably thirty more times. I know the place. I know every way they can lay out a 5K, down to the point where I know if somebody measured the course wrong (btw… that's exactly what happened two weeks ago–as I mentioned here! I went out and measured the course on my bike, and it came up at 3.2 miles).
So the gun went off, I went off, and twenty-six minutes and twenty-four seconds later I came across the finish line. I hit a good enough pace along the way and remember passing a few people, but I couldn't catch a guy at the end who had walked directly in front of me the last quarter mile of the race. I hate when people do that and I can't catch them. But I had been fighting a cold and the consequences of uneven sleep as I readjust to going back to school, so I'm not worried. My best racing is still ahead of me this year, and will remain so until it's too cold to run. And despite my ambivalence about yoga, damn I'm glad I've been doing it. I rolled out of bed Sunday morning and felt like I was 56 instead of 46. Or perhaps I felt like most other 46-year olds feel on a frequent basis. I don't know. I'm displaced regarding my actual age, my emotional age, how old I feel, how old I think I look, and how people my age are supposed to feel and look. The only thing I can think to do is keep running. And yoga helps one helluva lot to help me bounce back.

New Let The Right One in trailer
There is a new trailer out for Let The Right One In. That's the Swedish romantic/horror film that already has an American remake in the works.
The new trailer has some new footage in it. This film looks really good, but we may have to catch it on DVD depending on the release.
Let The Right One In is directed by Tomas Alfredson, and tells the story of an alienated boy who falls for a girl who happens to be a vampire. We saw the first trailer a few days ago, and now we have another one.
This film looks amazing, so much so that Matt Reeves is remaking it. This is much to the chagrin of Alfredson as we heard. The new trailer is below from IGN through Jo Blo. What do you think?

The following notification was distributed by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission via its medical list server:
This is to notify medical use licensees that use Strontium-82/Rubidium-82 (Sr-82/Rb-82) generators to produce Rb-82 for cardiac imaging that there have been two incidents in different states since December 2018 with patients injected with Rb-82 contaminated with Sr-82 and Sr-85 from generators eluted with Ringer's lactate solution instead of sterile saline. Ringer's lactate solution is a mixture of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride and calcium chloride in water. The calcium in the Ringer's lactate solution replaces the strontium on the generator column. This results in the strontium being washed off the column when it is eluted. Ringers lactate should never be used to elute an Rb-82/Sr-82 generator for this reason.
In the December case, eight patients received Sr-82 and Sr-85 in excess of the breakthrough limits. At least some of these patients are believed to have exceeded the medical event reporting criteria. The second case occurred on March 21, 2019 and involved four patients. The amount of Sr-82 measured the next day by the second licensee was reported to be 18.6 microcuries. (Note: The NRC breakthrough criteria would have been one microcurie of Sr-82 for a 50 millicurie Rb-82 dosage.)
Licensees are reminded that they are required in 10 CFR 35.204 to measure the breakthrough for each Sr-82/Rb-82 generator at the beginning of use and the Rb-82 cannot be used on patients if the breakthrough exceeds 0.02 microcuries of Sr-82 per millicurie of Rb-82. They should follow the manufacturer's instructions when performing the breakthrough test and pay particular attention to the measurement and interpretation of the data obtained from the test. Failure to perform or properly interpret the results of the breakthrough test in the first case resulted in the licensee continuing to use the generator even though breakthrough limits were exceeded. This licensee was only aware of the breakthrough when a patient was determined to be radioactive long after the Rb-82 should have decayed to background.

Hyderabad: Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) President Capt. N. Uttam Kumar Reddy has raised serious doubts over the impartiality and neutrality of Chief Electoral Officer Rajat Kumar and alleged that the Model Code of Conduct was not being implemented in Telangana State.
He was addressing a press conference after holding an emergency meeting with the AICC/TPCC Office Bearers, MPs, ex-MLAs, MLCs, DCC Presidents and State Heads of Frontal organisations at Gandhi Bhavan on Monday.
Senior leaders including AICC Telangana Inchage R.C. Khuntia, AICC Secretary Saleem Ahmed, Leader of Opposition in Council Mohammed Ali Shabbir, ex-MLAs Dr. J. Geetha Reddy and Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, TPCC Working Presidents Ponnam Prabhakar and A. Revanth Reddy and Vice-President Dr. Mallu Ravi and Chief Spokesperson Dr. Sravan Dasoju were also present in the press conference.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said that the CEO did not take any action against the violation of Model Code of Conduct across the Telangana State. He pointed out that the government advertisements with pictures of caretaker Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao and other ministers were not removed from the RTC buses.
Similarly, big hoardings of government schemes with CM and ministers' pictures still exists at several prime locations in the city. He informed that TPCC Working President Dr. Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka gave a representation to Chief Secretary Dr. S.K. Joshi in this regard today. He said that the Congress party would be giving a representation to Election Commission of India on non-implementation of MCC and would also approach the Supreme Court, if required.
The TPCC President said that the election authorities made no efforts to allay fears related to effective functioning of Electronic Voting Machines. He said the demonstration on EVMs was being given only in some district headquarters.
He demanded that the EVM demonstration should be arranged in all Assembly constituencies by inviting representatives of all political parties. He said there were lot of suspicions that KCR and KTR might resort to tampering of EVMs to win next elections.
Uttam Kumar Reddy also alleged that several newspapers and news channels were giving biased coverage in favour of ruling party while defaming leaders of other parties. He said entire news bulletin of some news channels have turned into propaganda tool for the ruling party.
He said owners of some media organisations have close relationship with the ruling party and in some cases the TRS leaders are the major share holders secretly. Therefore, he said that the Congress party was approaching the Election Commission of India to keep an eye on the extensive coverage being given by media to ruling and treat it as paid news. He said the ECI should take immediate measures to ensure free and fair elections in Telangana.
The TPCC President also informed that, as per the directives of AICC, the Congress party would be organising Jan Sampark Abhiyaan from October 2 to October 10 as part of 150th birth anniversary celebrations of Mahatma Gandhi.
He said besides floral tributes to Mahatma Gandhi on Tuesday, the Congress leaders would hoist party flags in all Assembly and Mandal Headquarters and would conduct door-to-door campaign for a week across the State.
Uttam Kumar Reddy appealed to the people to be cautious with KCR and other leaders of TRS who are trying to influence voters with their ill-gotten wealth.
"KCR looted the people's wealth in name of irrigation and other projects and he is now trying to use the same to win next elections," he alleged while adding that crores of rupees have been sent to TRS candidates to buy leaders of other parties in their constituencies and also to distribute it among voters. He also appealed the media to expose this in a serious manner.
Reacting to the criticism by TRS leaders on Congress party's possible alliance with other parties by calling some as 'Telangana Drohis' (betrayers)', Uttam Kumar Reddy said KCR himself is the 'Telangana Drohi No. 1″ on multiple counts. He alleged that KCR has betrayed Dalits, Girijans and other sections by not honouring the promises made to them.
"KCR came to power by making false promises. Then he looted the public wealth through various means and lived a lavish lifestyle, along with his family, on public money. He is now trying to use the same ill-gotten money to return to power by any means. Therefore, the only person who deserves to be called 'Telangana Drohi No. 1' is KCR," he said.
Uttam Kumar Reddy said before going for next election campaign, KCR should tender an unconditional apology to the people for the serious damage he has caused to the wealth, resources and interest of Telangana. For the same reason, he said Congress has given a call for 'KCR Hatao, Telangana Bachao' (Remove KCR, Save Telangana).
Meanwhile, RC Khuntia also expressed apprehensions that the EVMs and election process in Telangana could be manipulated. He also informed that the Congress party would raise funds from party workers and the target is to collect Rs. 5,000 from each polling booth level.
He said that KCR was trying to harass Congress leaders due to the fear of losing next elections. He said that the Congress party would face, fight and win the next Assembly elections.
Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, Shabbir Ali and Revanth Reddy also spoke. (INN)

It's easy to say that Starcadian is an artist that cannot be pinned down by one specific genre or style. It's also safe to say that he isn't interested in appeasing one specific type of fan over another. Starcadian makes music for himself, and at the end of the day, he is his own biggest critic. He's an artist and sets a high bar for himself with everything he does. This is clearly evident with anyone who has listened to or seen his work.
Starcadian's musical inspirations are wide ranging and touch on everything from Michael Jackson to Toto. These influences can be clearly heard in the amazing music he creates. Many of his songs invoke deep and scenic movie imagery, but most of them will just make you wanna dance.
I was fortunate enough to have a chance to speak with Starcadian to discuss his music. What I got was so much more. For a person who wraps his artistry in mystique, I found the actual man beneath the hood to be very open, honest, and very forthcoming with his thoughts and opinions. You can listen to my 1 hour interview with Starcadian below.
You can also check out the interview in the Nightride FM Archives.
As part of the Artists Spotlight series, Nightride FM in partnership with Reddit Outrun are pleased to announce the Starcadian artist AMA that will take place on r/outrun on July 29th and will run until August 4th.

Day Two, Nothing New
Marie Yovanovitch, the former ambassador to Ukraine, testified today before Adam Schiff's sham impeachment committee. President Trump recalled Ambassador Yovanovitch in April. It's clear from her testimony that "Hell hath no fury like a diplomat scorned." Here are some observations.
- Yovanovitch, who was appointed by Obama, said she felt threatened by President Trump and was deeply frustrated that no one "justified" her dismissal. She reportedly wanted a statement from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo defending her. Translation: How dare the president think he has the right to appoint his own people.
- Memo to Ms. Yovanovitch: You serve at the pleasure of the president. He can fire you for any reason. Maybe he doesn't like your singing voice. It doesn't matter. And it certainly didn't matter when Barack Obama fired all of George W. Bush's ambassadors. Why does Ms. Yovanovitch think she's somehow special?
- Like fellow diplomats George Kent and William Taylor before her, Yovanovitch expressed concern that U.S. policy toward Ukraine had been "hijacked" and that Foreign Service professionals were being undermined. She declared, "This is not a time to undercut our diplomats."
- But exactly who is doing the hijacking? And whose policy? Policy is set by the duly elected president, not the unelected bureaucrats. What many Americans heard this week was entitled Deep State operatives venting their frustrations. The Deep State is undermining Trump daily!
- I was particularly amused during the opening round of questioning when the Democrat counsel went after Fox News, Sean Hannity and investigative journalist John Solomon. Are they on trial now?
- Some progressives are trying to make today all about gender and a rerun of the Kavanaugh hearings.
- While Ambassador Yovanovitch made a big deal about her efforts to fight corruption in Ukraine, Rep. Elise Stefanik noted that the Obama State Department was so concerned about Hunter Biden's apparent conflict of interest with the Ukrainian natural gas company Burisma that it specifically prepped Yovanovitch to deflect questions about Biden and Bursima during her Senate confirmation hearings. Yet now we're not supposed to ask questions about Biden and Burisma.
- Rep. Mike Turner drew attention to the missing whistleblower who triggered this entire controversy. Turner read into the record a series of headlines such as, "Whistleblower Wants To Testify To House Panel, Schiff Says," and "Whistleblower Reaches Agreement To Testify, Will Appear 'Very Soon,' Rep. Adam Schiff Says." Well, where is the so-called "whistleblower"?
- Rep. Jim Jordan exposed the hypocrisy on full display here. Liberals are attempting to impeach the president because they claim he abused his authority by inviting Ukraine to meddle in our elections. (He did not.) But we know the Ukrainians were meddling in the 2016 election to help Hillary Clinton. Jordan recited a series of anti-Trump actions and statements from Ukrainian officials and asked Ambassador Yavonvitch whether she ever raised concerns about their partisan electoral activity. Of course she didn't.
It's Bribery Now
As I have suggested before, progressives are struggling to manufacture a crime. We noted earlier this week that they dropped "quid pro quo" for "extortion." Now they're trying out "bribery." Speaker Nancy Pelosi leveled the charge yesterday.
Where did that come from? A focus group paid for by a political arm of the Democrat Party.
But, if it is bribery to say to a foreign government, "I will give aid if you do this or take aid away if you do that," then America's entire foreign aid program is one gigantic bribe, and virtually every presidential candidate is guilty.
Many presidential candidates have said recently, in effect, "If I'm elected president, I will pull military aid from Israel if it builds homes in Judea and Samaria." Or, "I will pull foreign aid from countries that don't promote gay rights."
Foreign aid is given because we want countries to accommodate certain interests in order for us to share your tax money with them.
And, by the way, the Ukrainian foreign minister said yesterday that there was no "bribery" or linkage of U.S. aid and cooperation in investigations.
It's time to stop this charade and move on!
Fighting The Faithful?
As you know, I was appointed by President Trump to the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. This appointment was a tremendous honor as it gives me an opportunity to work on an issue I care deeply about.
One of my colleagues on the Commission is Kristina Arriaga, appointed by former House Speaker Paul Ryan. She has a sterling record of fighting for religious liberty for decades, and a passion that has made her one of the most effective advocates for religious freedom that I know in Washington.
That's why I was so heartbroken to learn that she resigned from the Commission last night. Kristina explains her reasons for stepping down in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece.
She is particularly concerned, as am I, about efforts in Congress to "reform" the Commission. Such efforts appear intended to push a left-wing agenda and control the commissioners.
For example, Ms. Arriaga writes that a Senate bill reauthorizing the Commission requires it to explore the "abuse of religion to justify human rights violations." Such a mandate would force "the commission to enter ideological fights over . . . sex segregation at religious services, circumcision or same-sex relationships."
In addition, the legislation includes "new reporting requirements . . . as well as restrictions on commissioners' public speaking and use of the USCIRF affiliation."
These provisions are so broad that they appear to be an effort to muzzle the commissioners in the work we do outside the commission. I will never be muzzled nor will any of the other commissioners!
My friends, I assure you that the Democrats and Republicans on the Commission have worked very closely together with very little division. We have diligently avoided bitter ideological disputes. In fact, most votes have been unanimous.
Unfortunately, there are some in Congress who are trying to politicize our work, pushing other agendas rather than working to end religious persecution. That will not help the Commission fulfill its purpose to defend religious freedom.
We hope the Senate will reach a bipartisan agreement that will allow the Commission to continue its vital work without undue interference.
Good News From The Courts
- ISIS bride Hoda Muthana will not be returning to the United States anytime soon. Judge Reggie Walton dismissed a lawsuit by Muthana's family contending that she is an American citizen and entitled to return to the U.S. Muthana was born in the United States, but her father was a Yemeni diplomat and the children of diplomats are not eligible for "birth-right citizenship."
- The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court ruling that unbelievably banned prayers prior to a high school football game between two Christian schools.

I think for most people who believe that it is God's will today for Israel (the nation) to possess Israel (the land), it's not that God needs the US to ally and support Israel, but that the US should align its foreign policy with God's will for Israel. I personally do not agree that it is God's will (necessarily) for Israel the nation to occupy Israel the land today (my views are similar to Brian's and the opposite of Hal Lindsey's). But I agree for mostly secular reasons (or really loosely based on biblical principles), that the US should ally with Israel because Israel is the only democracy in the middle-east, the only nation that has any semblance of freedom, civil rights, or respect for human life (the value of each person's life).
In the spirit of 6th grade commentary on circumcision, maybe God removed the legs of snakes in Genesis 3 to foreshadow the coming of the covenant sign in Genesis 17.
You guys are killing it with the Abraham / Sarah sermon series. There is so much truth and so much theology that has so much application to faith and practice, in the Abraham / Sarah text / series. And you guys are not shying away from the deep and important truths from the text. These stories matter to us today because the truths in these stories are timeless and important.
Darrell Frick
Great topic today guys! Loved it, had a long drive to New Orleans this week and got into about hour conversation with one of the guys riding with me about why all the hoopla over Israel. He has just started back going to church with his wife, but didn't understand why all the political uproar over Israel. Long story short we had a very health talk on this topic you guys covered today and it really, really encouraged me. Keep doing the extended cut, look forward to them every week! GOD BLESS

This code is a project that I am working on to eventually analyze some images but right now I am purely trying to read an image and convert it to black and white. The input should be either white or something else which would end up as black so it is easy to check for this.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.image as mpimg
import numpy as np
img = mpimg.imread('./Training/Image1.png')
imgplot = plt.imshow(img)
width = img.shape[1]
height = img.shape[0]
def generateArray():
arr = []
for y in range(img.shape[0]):
for x in range(img.shape[1]):
if img[y][x][0] != 1:
return arr
arr = generateArray()
To be clear, I desire to create an array
arr that contains either a 0 if the corresponding pixel in the inputted image is white or 1 if it is anything other than white.
I am somewhat of a beginner with Python but I am confused as to why this code takes so long to run (>19 seconds on my older Mac). Is there something that I am missing that would speed it up significantly?

2015 Dakar Rally
Buenos Aires.
Added On January 20, 2015
Qatari Nasser Al-Attiyah claimed his second Dakar Rally title after 9,000 gruelling kilometers concluded in Buenos Aires.
The Mini driver finished sixth in the 13th stage from Rosario to Buenos Aires which was shortened to only 34 kilometres due to heavy rain.
With a healthy overall lead set in the previous stages, Al-Attiyah is eventually 35 minutes and 34 seconds ahead of second-placed South African Ginel de Villiers, who drives for Toyota, in the overall standings. Another Mini driver Krzysztof Holowczyc of Poland finished third.
Nasser Al-attiyah is the champion driver of 2015. He says "I hope that next year the Dakar is here in Argentina ... I have a very good passenger, why would he change? Thank you, thank you."
And, the star of the 2 wheels at the rally, thirty-eight-year-old Spaniar Marc Coma of the team Red Bull won his fifth title of the serial, covering almost 4,700 kilometers of pure dirt in 46 hours 3 minutes 49 seconds.
Marc Coma, the winner Red Bull KTM rider:
"Not in my best dreams I imagined this a difficult rally, day 2 we greatly complicated, but we could trace, forcing the machine, we knew it would come the decisive part of the rally with options and so it proved, I thank my team out alive from the salar (Yuni) was virtually a dream and that the team had to work very hard because rebuilt a bike from scratch, because it was all garbage, and in recent days with a lot of pressure to lead but in the end, we 5th victory took home."
Coma opened his Dakar account in Africa in 2006, he then won again in 2009, the first time it was held in South America, adding the 2011, 2014 and now this year's title.
Russian Airat Mardeev won the trucks race and Rafal Sonik of Poland came out on top in quad category.
During the 13-day tough event, only 216 out of 420 competitors managed to complete the 2015 Dakar Rally.

My People…. I love black people. Despite all of our problems, we as a people have come a long way. I like all black people, but now I'm talking about Black Americans. I'm talking about black Americans who have withstood and overcome hundreds of years of oppression. We are the only group of people who have no direct link to a country that is truly our own. We live in American and are considered as much. Yet we still face discrimination and despite however many strives have been take, we are still looked down on as second class citizens in some respects. All other peoples have some idea of their true background, but black Americans are left with just a continent; A huge continent that is filled with hundreds of ethnic groups, tribes, religions and countries.
We as a people have risen up and faced odd that seemed insurmountable to become a major influence on world culture and music. We have invented and patented inventions in the dark ages of our country's history. Many aspects of our modern world were made possible because of the contributions of black Americans, and honestly speaking, the United States would not be the country and world power it is today if it were for the blood, sweat, tears, dignity and freedom sacrificed by our people.
I don't want to talk about the negatives, violence and general apathy that plague us. This essay is therapy. I guess sometimes I need to remind myself that there is nothing wrong with being half black. I come from two rich cultures and I proudly accept and embrace both. The world says that "blackness" is bad thing and somehow blackness has become synonymous with negativity. It's so prevalent that other minorities are affected; even people in the black Diaspora look down on black Americans; because of how the media portrays us and how some of us portray ourselves. Other races look down on us because of years of bigotry, social stigmas and general ignorance. A change is gonna come because more than ever doors are being open, and injustices are being fought everyday.
I like challenges and I'm up for showing the world what a smart, young, gifted black man can do. I'm not doing this for myself; I do it for your people, MY people and everyone who came before me.
Here's to being young, gifted and black. I wouldn't have it any other way

The independent city-state of Singapore is one the economic miracles of Asia. Since independence from the Malaysian Federation in 1965, Singapore has steadily increased its overall economic output in tandem with its citizens' standard of living. Today (2015), the nation has one of the highest Human Development Indices (HDI) in the world.
While the exact causes of Singapore's prosperity are arguable and may never be fully resolved, the nation's well-being is closely associated with its management of the built environment. The conclusion is inescapable: Singapore's prosperity and its well-managed built environment are one and the same. The nation's shiny skyscrapers and sparkling clean riverfront communicate a clear message that urban planning and national health are closely linked.
Perhaps the largest-scale realization of planning success are Singapore's public housing estates. Singapore's public housing is vast in scale, with over one million flats located in twenty-five estates (plus the center city) around the island. Public housing is the mainstay of life in Singapore: 80 percent of Singaporean citizens and permanent residents live there, and over 90 percent of those dwellers own their flats.
The Fall 2014 MIT Urban Design Studio Parametric Estates took a novel approach, called parametric urbanism, to improving the design of Singapore's public housing. Participants identified and improved individual variables of the built environment in two existing estates - Ang Mo Kio and Punggol - and then tested out 'new-build' approaches' on a smaller site in the Kallang River basin. This report demonstrates the creativity of studio participants and the tremendous design opportunities available for Singapore's public housing.

|(Artists from Galleria Kakku featured at the Food Fair: Suzume Zuki, Isis Boa, Johannes1977, Jolie, Kayly Iali)
I first heard of this event, when Suzume Zuki told me she had been accepted as one of the artists. Her beautiful art has always been special to me. I had to wait a bit before I got to the fair, because I have been crashing a lot lately, in Second Life. But now that I managed a visit, I noticed they have some other great artists familiar from Galleria Kakku, too! I am so excited for them all. Take a look at all of the art, though, there are great pieces out.
The fair is huge, two sims in size. So there will be a lot for you to explore. I took a few pictures, but really it is impossible to get all of it in a few shots. This is a great charity and a fun event, and I am glad to see so many people participating. You can see the digital counter with the sum raised live on their website and at the event. It has jumped quite a bit every day, such a great job!
Drax Files has a great video on what Feed a Smile is doing in SL. Lindens may seem like small change to some but with events this size, people are really making a difference. Just 100L$ pays for a meal for one child.

Dear Friends,
You will find here my long overdue 2nd podcast. I got a better microphone so the quality of the recording should be much better (at least it sounded better on my computer).
In terms of vocabulary, I think the level is intermediate. However, there are some expressions and sentences' constructions that I think, are more advanced.
For those of you who missed the first one, you can find it HERE.
How to make the best out this podcast: you can have a 1st listening to get the gist of it, during a 2nd listening you can try to write down words and/or sentences that you recognize/understand. After a 3rd listing, you can try to translate what you heard. You can also, alternatively, use this podcast as a dictation (which is an excellent exercise).
To help you understand better, here's some useful vocabulary (I didn't include words that, I think, should be known and others that can easily be guessed):
Le thé: tea – un souvenir: a memory – l'enfance: childhood – se préparer: (in this context) to prepare for oneself – réutiliser: to reuse – un sachet (de thé): a teabag – deuxième: second – fort(e): strong – le matin: the morning – thym: thyme – romarin: rosemary – le miel: honey – éviter: to avoid – attraper: to catch – une boisson: a beverage – vivre: to live – sans: without – un buveur/une buveuse: a drinker – quelqu'un: somebody/someone – le quotidien: everyday life – soi: oneself – le monde: the world
Enjoy ;).
Feel free to email me personally to request a written transcript of this podcast.

07.04.2016 Old Testament: Job 30.16–19
To read the Bible in a year, read Job 29–30 on July 4, In the year of our Lord 2016
By Don Ruhl
What should a person do when his life and even his body turn to dust and ashes? Do what Job did,
"And now my soul is poured out because of my plight;
The days of affliction take hold of me.
My bones are pierced in me at night,
And my gnawing pains take no rest.
By great force my garment is disfigured;
It binds me about as the collar of my coat.
He has cast me into the mire,
And I have become like dust and ashes."
(Job 30.16–19)
Job had become like dust and ashes, and he told his friends about it, and he knew that God heard his words. Grief filled Job's heart, but he did not keep it there; he opened his heart and let his words come out.
- What do you do when you suffer?
- Do you have a friend or family member to whom you can pour out your soul?
- Are you someone to whom people may go that they can pour out their hearts to you?

Research shows that the number of salespeople making their quota has declined since 2012. And the same goes for revenue plan attainment. In competitive B2B markets, it's estimated that sales deals take an average of 84 days to convert. How can the B2B sales process be sped up so that deals can be closed more efficiently? The key is basing all decisions and approaches on proven research, analysis and tools.
Sales acceleration is a concept that has grown in importance over recent years. It's about making your sales process faster. It takes a standard sales process, identifies areas for improvements, and then finds ways to speed the whole thing up.
Sales acceleration encompasses the following activities:
Cognism provides sales acceleration solutions that benefit all parts of the sales funnel. It impacts on three key areas:
Data is the fuel for B2B sales acceleration. Data tells you where you should be focusing your sales efforts at all times. At the very top of the sales funnel, you need the most accurate up-to-date information on your target profiles, industries and organisations.
Cognism can provide B2B sales teams with accurate, fresh and real-time business data. It helps you locate your ideal customers out of a global database of 400 million B2B profiles and 10 million companies. This means you will be selling to the right people, saving you time and effort.
Cognism's sales acceleration technology speeds up the sales process by automating everyday tasks. It performs these tasks quicker and more reliably than doing so manually, freeing up your time so you can concentrate on the vital tasks of engaging with leads and closing deals.
If the data captured in your CRM isn't complete or up-to-date, Cognism can fill in those missing gaps for you. Cognism's data enrichment solutions are proven to cut the time spent on manual data entry and updating by up to 22%.
Cognism supplies solutions that allow B2B sales reps to create a personalised experience for their prospects. Through Cognism's seamless email integrations, including with the two major providers Microsoft Outlook and Gmail, hundreds of personalised sales emails can be sent per day. With every email containing the receiver's name, this makes it up to 35% more likely that the email will be opened and read.
Cognism's video integration is another excellent sales acceleration tool. It's a great way for B2B salespeople to communicate with their leads quickly and clearly with personalised videos. Video has been proven to accelerate the sales cycle - 90% of customers say that watching videos helps them to make purchasing decisions.
Sales triggers are a useful means of acquiring personalised information on your ideal prospects and accounts. For example, you can use them to find out when a target company has just moved headquarters, or just received a new round of funding. B2B sales reps can take advantage of this information to contact leads when they would be most likely to buy.
Here are some benefits to using Cognism's sales acceleration platform:
Cognism Prospector is a GDPR compliant sales acceleration solution, powered by our patented Revenue AI technology. It provides B2B salespeople with a more efficient way to prospect, producing contact data at scale and streaming new opportunities into the funnel.
Cognism Refresh is a powerful platform for managing all your data enrichment needs. Cognism's pioneering Revenue AI seeks out and targets stale data, filling in any missing gaps in your CRM records and providing you with valuable, actionable information ready to accelerate the B2B sales process.

Discussion in 'All Discussions' started by Peajay4060, Jan 14, 2015.
Son number 1, a mechanical engineer / physicist , and employed !
Is this recent? Looks friggin cold.
Yes , it was a cold howling wind , water broke 60 s finally , prob mid 50s now
that's one of the suiter shots i've seen on here. good stuff, curl
Brutal cold this afternoon. This was a heavy one.
Got a really good barrel at the jetty yesterday. Only got yelled at twice.
brutal cold sess Sunday morning. no gloves, no booties, just my hot 4/3 on - looking good. hopped in a car w a buddy to park on 8th E, expecting the drift to take me back to my place by the pier. what i didn't account for is the 8 degree drop in water temp in the past week. def coulda used some booties, gloves, and a head cap. brutal, 20+ mph side shore winds. took the LB out on that one, had some fun long rides tho they mushed out. i was pretty delirious thru that whole sess. went back out several hours later with an another guy by the pier - winds died down a bunch. took a larger NSP since it was approaching low tide and that board is indestructible, and needed the size to get on it. had my gloves on, felt a bit better but glad to get out there no doubt. i could use some more warm sunshine in my life tho
Finally got some surf on my island the last couple days. Been almost a month since I paddled out last. Limited daylight and other doings kept me dry but there wasn't much swell either. This is gonna be a long one.
The nor'easter started to show Sunday here. Nor'easter surf is rugged dude. It comes in large, shifty and fast with a ton of juice behind it. It comes with a cold wind that goes right through you. Was able to get on it Sunday morning. It was about head high and still pretty raw. I think it was 30 degrees out. Thicker rubber and boots and put on some gloves too. With the thicker rubber and a month of not surfing I chose a board that doesn't need as much rider input to make waves, a 70's styled bonzer with heavy glass. Got a few good waves but had trouble being in just the right spot at take off. The good spot was just always a little deeper than I could or want to get into. A couple I was in the right spot but just couldn't get myself to go over the ledge. Felt the drops were too fast and steep for me to make. I only had the morning but I stopped over to see what the afternoon looked like on the way to dinner at Grandma's. It was perfect head high cold glassy barrels. Didn't feel too bad about it as it was only get better the next day.
Yesterday morning was a cold rainy day. A couple of feet overhead and clean. I didn't go at dawn. It was cold, The wind was a little squirrely, and the tide was dead low. I wanted a little more tide to make the drops a little easier. An easy paddle out surprised the heck out me but the drift and the shifty peaks left me without a wave for about a half mile. Right where the beach shifts alittle in direction I got a little one. Then I got a bomb with a short ride which put me right into the impact zone for three right on the head. That beating put me into a good space in my head. I got back out and got into it good. Went deep on one and had a speed run. The bonzer was hitting that fifth gear. Went across a whole beach into a rock pile. Was at that point where you have to make a decision to head in to avoid the rocks or try to make it around. Knew if I went in I might of called it and walked back so I went for it. Made it back out but by a pretty sketchy margin and found a perfect bomber right at the tip of the rock pile. I just turned and hucked myself over the ledge. Just made it at the bottom in front of the rocks and cranked a turn and it was all opened up. Hooted myself up the whole way. My heart was in my throat and I was just laughing my ass off when I got back out.
Caught another and saw I was about two miles away from my car. Headed in for the long cold walk back. Halfway back and right about where I started to get waves, I ran into a couple of bros about to head out. So I went out again for a few more. Thankfully another easy paddle out. My confidence was up and I got a few more really good waves but man was I zapped. Got a little runner that I could do some turns on and rode it all the wave to the beach. A long walk back and a rough time getting out of the thick rubber. I'd surfed about 5 hours. Didn't catch a ton of waves but the ones I got were great. I slept good last night. I gotta say I'm ready for an easy surf. Like a long board day with the sun out would be nice.
Get yours guys, post up when you do.
Some fun ones today ... but I'm with peajay, I haven't surfed in a few weeks due to daylight and swell timing and other commitments... but have been fishing a lot lately...
last time surfing I was just in a 3/2!! Err so not excited about the 4/3 boots and gloves... but better then the 5. Anyways feeling totally worn out and felt so out of shape. Got a hand full of fun ones, but a lot of closeouts too. Was refreshing to be in the water and was warm with 50 degree air...
Same here... There were still some fun sets coming through, but the period and direction made for mostly racy, unmakable waves. Surfed 'till dark after work and only got 3 or 4 good waves.
Thats what I saw too.. swell direction, period and sand were not set up well... good to hear that you noticed too since I was blaming a lot of my not making waves on a lack of not surfing in the past few weeks (and the wetsuite)
Paddled out early alone , well not quite , the biggest seal I have seen outside of Cali showed up . Spooked me too , it was clear it was extremely curious about me
Man reading your guys stories about this swell and wave counts made me feel better bout myself and my wave counts.
i ran out for a lil bit in the middle of the afternoon. Hoping the incoming tide would build up, but i went out early in case wind shuffled some things up. Took the LB for safe measure and to the otherside of the pier away from the groupies, also for safe measure. Caught thi hi's that came in in sets, rights n lefts attainable. Created some silky smooth lines. had the 4/3 but no booties or gloves, which was manageable in the sun
Fun little clean peelers yesterday during the bottom half of the incoming tide. Waist to chest high south swell, with light offshores. Slid a few on the log. Nobody out.
Howling offshore winds in RI made for a lot of paddling and a lot of blown take-offs, still good to get out there.
Hoping to catch the same swell north of the city with the same wind issues tomorrow.
It was in fact worse north of the city today and colder but hey, that's what at the pie was for yesterday, to fuel up to stay warm. Went to one place, more than a few people out in spite of the subpar conditions. Drove by a second place on the way home which looked so much better but I was not going to change out the 38˚ air with 20mph winds twice.
Saw a guy out with no hood. Total madness. I think I got bony growths in my ear just looking at him.
Fun bump yesterday morning. Got a couple of hours in down the street from my house.

Bush gets heat on global warming
Entergy chief urges reducing emissions
New Orleans Times-Picayune, Sept. 11, 2003
Chastising the White House for not doing enough to combat global warming, Entergy Corp.'s chairman said Wednesday that his company supports a clean air proposal offered by Democrats in Congress as an alternative to President Bush's proposed "Clear Skies" initiative.
"The current administration's solution to the enormous climate change is just to study it to death," said Robert Luft, who heads the New Orleans-based utility's board of directors. "Make no mistake. If today's leaders of government and business don't start understanding the need to take emission reductions seriously, we will leave a grim, grim legacy for our children and grandchildren."
His comments came in the opening session of the Society of Environmental Journalists' annual convention at the Astor Crown Plaza hotel on Canal Street.
Congress for more than a year has been considering Bush's air pollution reduction proposal, which would cut emissions of mercury, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides 70 percent by 2018 through a program that would allow heavy-polluting power utilities to buy credits from companies that reduce their emission levels below the new federal standards set by the bill.
The proposal has drawn criticism for reducing pollution too slowly and leaving out limits on carbon dioxide emissions from power plants, which Luft and others say are the main cause of global warning. In 1999, electricity generators -- primarily ones fueled by coal -- produced nearly 40 percent of carbon dioxide emissions in the United States, topping releases from automobiles, other industries and homes.
Entergy and other opponents of the president's plan have thrown their support behind a competing proposal by Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., that is similar to Clear Skies but adds limits on carbon dioxide emissions.
Luft also criticized the White House for opposing efforts to more accurately measure carbon dioxide emissions.
"I'm a lifelong Republican and an admirer of much of what President Bush has accomplished. Still, I cannot express my frustration with his performance in this area," the utility executive said. "How are we ever going to break the cycle of inaction and address this looming climate catastrophe if we don't even have a handle on how big the problem is?"
The Carper bill has gained support from some Senate Republicans in recent weeks, and Washington observers believe it now has a better chance of winning Senate approval than Bush's initiative. The bill is viewed by many as a viable compromise in the debate about pollution reduction, but some environmental groups have criticized the proposal for not requiring stiffer pollution reductions over a shorter time period.
Entergy's position runs counter to the one taken by most of the nation's other large power utilities and the industry's main lobbying organization in Washington, the Edison Electric Institute, which say Carper's proposal would cost the industry and consumers 50 percent more than the Clear Skies initiative.
Luft said Entergy's position in the debate is rooted in the company's ethical responsibility to support strategies that offer long-term benefits to both the company and the nation.
He pointed to the company's 2-year-old voluntary initiative to maintain carbon dioxide emissions from Entergy power plants at 2000 levels through 2005. He said the company is on track to keep its promise. So far, emissions reduction projects have cut carbon dioxide releases by 12 percent, he said.
But the company's environmental strategy also could help strengthen its position in the increasingly competitive energy market.
Carbon dioxide emission limits, such as the ones in the Carper bill, would be more onerous for utilities that depend heavily on coal-fired plants to produce their electricity.
Entergy, on the other hand, gets nearly 90 percent of its electricity from plants that are fueled by natural gas, which produces smaller levels of carbon dioxide pollution, or from nuclear reactors, which emit no carbon dioxide.
Luft praised the administration for its efforts to promote the construction of new nuclear power plants, which he called a critical and necessary ingredient in the effort to halt global warming.
"It's the only large-scale way to generate electricity that is essentially emission-free," he said. "I can't imagine seriously confronting the climate issue without accepting greater nuclear reliance."
Entergy is the nation's second-largest nuclear power plant operator, and the company is one of a handful of utilities that have expressed interest in building the first new nuclear power generator in the United States in 20 years.
But before that happens, Luft said, the federal government and the industry must do more to reduce the cost of constructing a nuclear plant.
"What we really need is new technology," he said.

WEATHERFORD, Okla. – If you want to avoid the heat this weekend, why not take your kids to outer space?
The Stafford Air & Space Museum allows you to go out of this world without ever leaving the ground.
The museum recently received NASA's Shuttle Fixed-Based Simulator from the Adler Planetarium in Chicago.
The FBS was used by NASA at the Johnson Space Center in Houston during the 30-year history of the shuttle program.
The artifact allows visitors to get a close up look at the entire flight deck, equipped with more than 2.200 switches, gauges, circuit breakers, computer displays and dials.
The FBS is expected to be ready for public display after the first of the year since it needs to be restored first.

Basic Nutrition 101
Recently I had client ask me a fairly broad question regarding optimal nutrition. Now, I realize that a nutrition plan depends on the individual and their situation, however I would like to offer a few rules that can be applied across the board when it comes to basic nutrition.
Rule #1 – Breakfast should be your largest meal of the day.
Just as the name of the meal implies, you are about to break the fast you have been in for (hopefully) the past 8 hours. This is the meal that gets your metabolic fire burning for the day. I recall reading an article from legendary strength coach Dan John, and he said that "it is important to start every day with a great breakfast". My great breakfast is typically 4 omega-3 eggs, 1/2 cup of REAL oatmeal, 1 cup of frozen blueberries and 6 fish oil capsules….and a HUGE cup of the strongest coffee I can find. It is a necessary evil at 5am.
Rule #2- Build every single meal around a protein source.
Building meals around protein sources also includes snacks. Acceptable protein sources include eggs, ground beef (at least 90% lean), chicken breast, lean cuts of beef, fish, greek yogurt, cottage cheese and quality protein powders. Unacceptable sources of protein include peanuts, peanut butter, almonds, almond butter, beans, tofu, and soy products.
Rule #3- Carbohydrates should be eaten when appropriate.
Basically all this rule means is that you should be eating carbohydrates in the morning and pre and post workout. These are the times that your body will actually use them for energy rather than storing them as fat to be used later. When I train, I will always make myself "earn" the post workout carbs. If you walk on the treadmill at 3mph for 30 minutes, I don't think you have earned a damn thing.
Rule #4- Low fat diets are dumb.
Fat does not make you fat. Choosing the right fats helps to lower your risk for cardiovascular disease, lowers your LDL's (bad cholesterol) and decrease total body inflammation. So, if you want to increase your risk of having a heart attack, jack up your bad cholesterol and have joints that feel like they need to be hosed down with oil every morning, by all means cut all the fats out of your diet. I'm just saying.
Rule #5- Drink lots of water and no calorie containing beverages.
I am not sure I need to explain this one. Drink lots of water throughout the day, even when you are not thirsty and do not drink soda, fruit juice, beer, vodka, rum, wine, tequila, yager bombs, irish car bombs…I think you get the idea.
Rule #6- Dinner should be the smallest meal of the day.
This is when we should be putting the fire out so to speak. A great dinner for me would be lots of meat, lots of green vegetables, and a healthy dose of healthy fat (think fish oil or olive oil).
Posted on May 4, 2010, in Uncategorized. Bookmark the permalink. 7 Comments.
What about Saki Bombs, are those OK Dave? Only if built around sushi as a protein source.
Dave – Great article! How many carbs can be eaten after after a workout? Is it calories burned vs. intake?
I found rule 2 and 3 to be informative and behaviors that I can adopt.
Rule 4 however, is complete Sh!t 🙂 I am sure that Irish Car Bombs, Red Wine and Whiskey are all good for me. AND I do drink plenty of fluids both pre and post Bomb Behavior!
Sorry Dave, Just saying!
So, rule #2…what do I do if I don't eat meat?
Great blog!

The end is nigh and The Greatest Depression is closing in with millions of ferocious, unemployed, disillusioned and helplessly starving infected people erratically walking an unforgiving earth for years to come. Truth to be told we´re heading for a financial apocalypse because you, the people, believe in any tall tale The Powers That Be cables out.

A glimpse into America's future
But the real picture isn't forming before we start looking at economic figures. As usual media is reporting "green shoots" were there are none. In reality we haven't seen a single figure of the positive kind, well, with the exception for military founding. The Obamination is the worst military spending president US ever had, if not counting world war times. Nobel Peace Prize my newly shaved ass.
Official unemployment numbers have now reached double digits, and are still climbing. The real statistic is horrifying read. According to census counts (again official figures) unemployment, if counting people who have left the unemployment line without getting a job, the number is close to 17%. But it is actually much worse than that. Not only is the real unemployment-rate close to 20%, but working hours in relation to salary is going up i.e. people are working more for less pay. But the real scare comes when we are looking at industry output that is dropping like a stone.
Nevertheless, unemployment of depression levels isn't really the problem. Media and elitists are trying to get you to focus on those, probably so they can launch some useless government stupidity and hire a couple of million people and so show adjusted numbers in the near future. They have already indicated this, more stimuli are coming soon. However, they will not have time to commence that scam to any larger degree before the real mayhem starts.
The real problems for the US, as well as the world, are the looming disasters they have built up within the banking system, within stock-markets and the soon to be crashing and burning USD. You see, unemployment as a lone problem (only one remaining according to several pundits) would be fixable. If production took off, the government hires people to dig holes in the ground or if all welfare checks disappear unemployment would go away. But all possible solution is dependent on the existence of wealth to use for such endeavors, wealth that doesn't exist. You see, the stock market is living on newly printed money and bail-out founds tunneled through banks. It's all air. Equities haven't really reached the heights of before this depression yet, and according to the enemy class this is bad, but what they don't say is that even this lower level means overvalue by 40-50%.
I could go on, but I've already covered all the scams and debunked most of the reports they are feeding us in other posts. Needless to say the financial future of America is so bleak that it overshadows the, in comparison, minor slump we had in the 30's. And the US is by no means alone in this madness; pretty much every country in the world is helping out building the mother of all bubbles. What looks beforehand as being the worst disaster in human history is not far from hitting us and few countries is in worse shape than the US. Not that it really matters, the world will never be the same and the shock-waves will be felt in every cabin across the globe.
And now we are now getting reports that militia groups have increased their numbers in such a pace that over 100 new groups have formed only since the current pick-pocket in Chief got seated in office.
My hope is that it will be the American government that strikes first, so the sympathies end up where they belong. We don't need another Oklahoma bombing, we need another Waco. We don't need another sniper terrorizing normal folks, we need more demonstrations. The government, already heavily under fire, will sooner or later make that crucial mistake of shooting some kids, sending in the military to clean up law-abiding citizens or something of the sorts and that will be the starting of the second American Revolution.
So to my American friends I urge you to sit down and wait for a while, prepare, of course, stock up, train and be ready, but please refrain from hostilities before the general public has had enough. It may take a year or two, but it's necessary for success.
I know that trigger finger is itching and I would love to see some senators and federal bureaucrats dangling from lamp-posts, but please hold on to your hats a little while longer.
As you probably figured out from my ramblings I see a bloody outcome in the near future, and I'm not warning about it, no, I'll welcome it and if possible I will help out as much as I can. I believe it to be necessary for several reasons, but the main idea is for the US to once again show the rest of us the way. Maybe as a divided country, it's very possible we'll see two or three new countries form out of the current US.

You can console yourself that at least you aren't English and live in Britain. The situation is probable 50% worse here. What is even worse than that is we are not allowed to arm ourselves, I mean even butter knives are seen as an offensive weapon. If it kicks off here when the bubble bursts, we will be at the mercy of the Islamists who up until now can do pretty much what they like.ReplyDelete

I'm Swedish living in Britain. :))ReplyDelete
But yes, you are right, but thats pretty much the situation in every country. However, even if they diploy a million soldiers, what will they do when 40 million people stands before them?
And besides, weapons are easy to come by or build by yourself.

Funding terrorism: Illegal cash flows may be aiding terroristsTuesday, January 7th, 2014 4:32:25 by News Pakistan Admin
Terrorist groups in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and Balochistan have been receiving billions of rupees each month through banking channels and money exchange companies, sources in Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) have revealed.
These companies in collusion with some bankers have been transferring huge amounts to unnamed bank accounts in Quetta and Peshawar. The FIA has recently found evidence of transfer of billions of rupees to the two cities in the last few months.
According to sources, the FIA made these discoveries during its investigations into the multibillion rupee Trade Development Authority Pakistan (TDAP) scam.
Ironically, the Financial Monitoring Unit (FMU) and other institutions, whose task is to curb the illegal business of hundi and hawala, are completely unaware of these dubious transactions, made right under their nose.
If the law enforcers can trace the people receiving billions of rupees through unnamed accounts in Peshawar and Quetta, they will possibly be able to unearth terrorist activities funded by this money.
Sources said that after these startling facts, FIA officials were busy uncovering the huge illegal business of money transfer. After discovering evidence of transfer of Rs1billion to Peshawar and Quetta in the last few months, the FIA has registered nine cases under the Anti-Money Laundering Act and arrested dozens of officials of private banks.
According to sources, a renowned money exchange company has transferred around Rs34billion to Quetta and Peshawar in the last few months through its unnamed accounts. Interestingly, money exchange companies and banks have no information about the senders and receivers of the money.
The FIA has frozen dozens of unnamed accounts in Quetta and Peshawar and issued written notices to their holders. However, as the details submitted for opening the accounts have proven to be incorrect, the FIA has started trying to look for their possible link to terrorist activities.

Dan AI6XG has been doing SOTA for a couple years, and we were in CWOps Level 2 class together in 2018. He graciously offered to go on a SOTA hike with me, and picked this great spot mapped out by Jeff AA6XA around the Lake Berryessa area. Enjoy watching my struggle as I get into this new facet of ham radio.Continue Reading
First QSO on AO-92 Satellite
I received an Arrow II antenna from N9BAV today, a very generous gift after I tweeted that I needed to buy said antenna. After I put it together, I looked on GoSatWatch app to see the next pass of well-known amateur satellites. I immediately recognized that AO-92 was going to pass very well overhead in about 2½ hours. So I prepped my Kenwood TH-D74A with the VHF downlink frequency (145.880MHz) on sub band A, and the UHF uplink (435.340MHz) on sub band B. My previous attempts at satellite with a HT whip antenna and my HVU-8 vertical have met with no success, so I was half expecting this Arrow to… Read MoreContinue Reading
The Other Side of SOTA: Failed Chasing
In today's episode, I go on my typical Lunch Time on the Air™ (LTOTA) during my lunch hour at work in Rancho Cordova, and I fail at chasing two of my friends activating Summits on the Air (SOTA): – Jose K6HZR activating San Juan Hill (1 pt) W6/CT-230 – Scott N0OI activating Bertha Peak (8 pts) W6/CT-103 Heard voices on Jose's frequency, but couldn't verify if it was him. Heard lots of chasers answering Scott, but I guess he couldn't hear me. In any case, it's great to know fellow ham friends are out and about, and I'll try to do my part to help them even if I don't… Read MoreContinue Reading
How to Create a Multi-Mode XReflector
JerryNet is so named because one bored commute home, KG6HQD Jerry went on his DStar radio and connected to REF012A to see if anyone wanted to talk. This became a regular thing and JerryNet™ was born. Later we started talking about how to include other digital voice modes such as DMR and Fusion. We needed a cross-mode reflector so we ended up on the QuadNet Array on 757A. Someone from JerryNet threw out the idea of setting up our own multi-dv reflector similar to Quadnet's. When I first heard this idea, I immediately thought it would be an impossibly daunting task. I had impressions of expensive hardware and codec boards… Read MoreContinue Reading
Build Your Own DMR/DStar/Fusion Hotspot for CHEAP
In an effort to get more people on digital ham radio easily, I posted a video about how to put together your own multi-mode digital voice hotspot device very inexpensively, and with little effort. I have put together several of these and the work pretty well. Kind of like an oil change, almost anyone can do it. I admit, I used to have a purist mindset about ham radio. All these Internet-dependent modes such as Echolink, IRLP, and even analog repeater inter-linking over the Internet had me thinking "but what happens when the grid goes down?" I've experienced some pretty bad fails as a systems & software engineer, and also as… Read MoreContinue Reading
The Gamification of Ham Radio
I think contest organizations and the ARRL understand one aspect of fostering activity in the hobby. The logbook awards, contests, and sprints have their roots in achievement, competition, and accomplishment. Stanford gaming theorist Jane McGonigal recently spoke at a Security Conference I attended where she remarked on the incredible amount of time poured into online gaming. More than the combined manpower of the largest companies in the world, games contribute literal trillions of man-hours (billions a week) to seemingly "useless obstacles". Why? Because games bring out a full-brain engagement like few other daily activities. The same concepts are readily (albeit unintentionally) applied to ham radio. Even contests that aren't scheduled,… Read MoreContinue Reading
Wiring a CW Paddle
Many HF transceivers use a stereo jack for the internal electronic keyer. Some have a 1/4″ jack, others have a 3.5mm jack. This is a note on how most of these are wired to a CW paddle. On a TRS cable (tip ring sleeve 3.5mm) Red: tip (left, dit) White: ring (right, dah) Yellow: sleeve (common ground) (this wire could also be black) If you're right-handed, use the left paddle for the dit, which would go to the tip of the plug which would be the red connection. The white connection is the dah (right paddle) which goes to "ring" on the plug, adjacent to the tip. The common ground… Read MoreContinue Reading

The Emerging Leaders Conference, a global industry initiative from the Insurance Careers Movement, invited 83 of the brightest rising talents in insurance to participate in a development and networking event in Miami Beach.
Daniela De Leon Pacheco, Manager of Business Operations for Argo Group, Latin America, and Marc Glickman, Vice President, Director of Underwriting for Trident Public Risk Solutions, are among the inaugural class.
Here's more about how they began their careers in insurance and what good leadership looks like to them.
