Fancy playing adult games on your very own XXX-box?
Launched at the end of January 2019, Nutaku has expanded its desktop adult game portal with the release of 'The Console'. Shaped like a breast with a unique silicone shell, the erotic games console comes pre-loaded with free-to-play adult titles and a selection of around 200 premium games. Already sold out with a waiting list of avid fans, The Console looks set to be a great development by this popular adult games website.
In this feature, we take a closer look at The Nutaku Console along with information on the technical specs, pricing and games.
Adult Gaming Gets Its Own Console?
Launched to celebrate the 4th anniversary of Nutaku's gaming site, The Console is styled to look like a boob with its power button embedded in the silicone nipple. It's a creative and unusual design which will no doubt appeal, for its novelty factor, to fans of adult games everywhere.
Offering gamers the opportunity to play titles from their extensive gaming collection, Nutaku's latest product is the world's first adult games console.
However, Nutaku's 'sexbox' is not strictly speaking a console and does not offer the same way to play games that the Xbox or PS4 does. You won't find a special games controller nor can you access any games that you would not be able to play online already. Instead, The Console is a standalone pre-packaged version of the desktop client available via the website; sort of a plug-and-play device in the style of a retro (but porno-themed) Atari.
Basically, it replaces the need for a laptop or desktop computer to access their website but still needs a keyboard and mouse in order to be able to play games plus you will also need to have a Nutaku account.
Who are Nutaku?
An English-language, hentai based games website, Nutaku is one of the most popular adult gaming sites in the world. Currently receiving more than 170 million hits a month, Nutaku.net is ranked as the 22nd most visited adult site globally and is positioned at 269 (Global Rank) and 172 (United States Ranking).
The site offers a plethora of free-to-play and premium adult games ranging from those that can be played in browser, downloaded or accessible via a mobile device.
Category-wise, there is plenty on offer to satisfy all tastes and Nutaku has recently hit the headlines as a result of its large collection of LGBTQ+ friendly games.
From RPG to action/adventure, puzzle and dating sims to visual novel and card battles, their range includes animated sex, epic romances and character evolution games.
The collection extends to over 200 titles and has been nicknamed the 'steamy Steam'. It is particularly well-known for its translated Japanese titles.
Nutaku is owned by MindGeek, the same company that operates Pornhub, YouPorn, Digital Playrgound and the Brazzers Network so there is quite some capital behind this latest innovation.
You can read a recent review of Nutaku here.
Nutaku Console: Technical Specifications
The Console comes in a sleek and sturdy white box with a magnetic lid and featuring the Nutaku logo. Inside, there is a glossy manual with the company's hentai mascot, Nutaku-tan, on the cover. Her simple instructions, "plug me in and press my nipple to turn me on' set the tone for what you can expect from the full instructions inside.
The box contains:
- 'The Console' with silicone covered shell and nipple shaped power button
- External power supply
- HDMI cable
The Console itself features
- 2 x USB ports
- Audio jack
Each Nutaku game console is handmade. You can see the process of how each one is created in this YouTube video:
The internal computer is a Windows 10 platform and also features a wireless internet connection.
Nutaku Console: Set-Up
Setting the console up is straightforward:
- Connect the power cable
- Connect the HDMI cable to your monitor
- Connect your keyboard and mouse to the USB ports
- Press the 'nipple' to turn the console on.
Your monitor will then launch the game client and you will need to log-in to your Nutaku account.
Nutaku Console: Games
The games that come pre-loaded to the Nutaku Console are exactly the same as those you will find on their desktop client and include their most popular titles:
- Smutstone
- Harem Heroes
- Fap CEO
- Chick Wars
- Kamihime Project R
- Booty Farm
- Fap Titans
- Flower Knight Girl
Mostly based on Hentai games and including some popular translated Japanese titles, the games are a mix of strategy, action/adventure, RPG and dating sims.
Just like the browser version of these games, you can search and filter through the titles to find games to suit your playing style.
You will need a Nutaku account to play with some titles being free and others requiring Nutaku Gold.
Nutaku Console: Price
The Nutaku Console is currently being marketed at a price of $169.99
At the current time, despite only being on the market for a few weeks, the console is out of stock and the company is promising limited availability for this product. Being handmade, it is hard to see how they will keep up with demand if the Console really gets popular.
Nutaku Console Review: We Say…
There is no doubt at all that the Nutaku console is an extremely novel device and breaks new ground with its design and its dedicated market. However, at a price of $170 we were expecting a little more than a simple plug-n-play TV console.
The disappointment of not being able to kick back on the sofa with a controller in order to play popular game titles like the Kamihime Project or Harem Heroes is tempered a little by the fact that the console is pretty good.
Responsive and fast, it offers regular gamers the flexibility of where and how they play their favorite games and, with a long enough HDMI cable, does mean you can use a huge TV screen to plug into.
Yes, you will still have to navigate using a mouse and keyboard but we can envisage that the console will offer game developers new territory to explore in the future.
And that's our keyword when it comes to how best to categorize The Console; one for the future. At the present time, and at the current price, we can't see that this device will be a huge success. Sure, it's a talking point and a pretty novel one at that but it's more about what happens next that will determine where Nutaku's innovative creation ends up in the market. If they stop developing now then there's a very real chance that The Console will be resigned to a shelf in the history book marked 'Showed Great Promise. If Only…..'. In this way, The Console is sort of like a front runner to the electric car, now considered a great innovation that looks set to be the future of zero-emissions motoring but once a laughing stock of the car industry. Some of the original vehicles only had a range of 5-10 miles; The Console has a similar appeal.
We'd love to see game developers use this platform to bring adult games off browser-based clients and on to a true console. Imagine kicking back with your 50" (plus) 4K Ultra HD TV to enjoy fully compatible, controller based adult hentai games! That is where the real market potential is and we are excited to see this initial foray into that reality.
As for whether or not you should be adding yourself to that waiting list for when the Console comes back into stock….perhaps this will only be for collectors or ultimate fans of Nutaku. We can certainly see how the Console will be hugely popular in Japan. In the meantime, there is enough here to be excited about if Nutaku can keep up the momentum we've already seen from them.
Certainly, Nutaku has shown that it is eager to push the boundaries of the adult gaming world. With developments in VR titles, Lewd Gaming Championships with huge cash pool prizes and other games events that bring together the huge Nutaku community they are a juggernaut with the Midas touch.

Pigments from the chemical composition to classification, can be divided into inorganic pigments and organic pigments two categories, its source can be divided into natural pigments and synthetic pigments. Natural pigments from the source of minerals are cinnabar, red clay, realgar, malachite green, heavy calcium carbonate, wollastonite, talcum powder, mica powder, kaolin and so on. And from plants such as Garcinia, Alizarin Red, Indigo and so on. Synthetic pigments such as inorganic pigments such as titanium white, zinc barium white, lead chrome yellow, iron blue, iron red, red dan and other organic pigments, and organic pigments such as heavy powder, azo yellow, phthalocyanine blue and quinacridone. Pigment function can be divided into anti-rust paint, magnetic pigments, luminous pigments, pearlescent pigments, conductive pigments and so on. Color classification is a convenient and practical method, the pigment can be divided into white, yellow, red, blue, green, brown, purple, black, etc., Pigment without regard to its source or chemical composition.
The famous "dye index" is the use of color classification methods, such as the pigment is divided into pigment yellow (PY), pigment orange (PO), pigment red (PR), pigment purple (PV), pigment blue (PB), pigment green (PB), pigment black (PBr), pigment black (PBk), pigment white (PW) and metal pigment (PM), the same color pigments are arranged in order, such as titanium dioxide PW-6, zinc White PW-5, lead chrome yellow PY-34, quinacridone PR-207, iron oxide red PR-101, phthalocyanine blue PB-15 and so on. In order to find the chemical composition, and another structural number, Pigment such as titanium dioxide for the PW-6C.I.77891, phthalocyanine blue is PB15C.I.74160, can make the paint manufacturers and users can identify the included Pigment composition and chemical structure, so in the international pigment import and export trade have been widely used.
China's national standard pigments GB3182-82 in 1995 and re-approved for the GB / T3182-1995, is also the use of color classification, the color of each pigment has a sign, such as white for the BA, red for the HO, yellow HU, combined Chemical structure of the code and serial number, composed of pigment models, such as rutile Titanium Dioxide BA-01-03, Chrome Yellow HU-02-02, Iron Oxide HO-01-01, Zinc Barium White BA-11-01, A Aniline red HO and 2-01, phthalocyanine blue BGS LA-61-02 and so on.
Pigments can be classified according to the type of compound contained: Inorganic pigments can be subdivided into oxides, chromates, sulfates, carbonates, silicates, borates, molybdates, phosphates, vanadates , Ferricyanates, hydroxides, sulfides, metals, and the like. The organic pigment may be divided into polycyclic pigments such as azo pigments, phthalocyanine pigments, anthraquinones, Pigment indeces and quinacridones, and aromatic amane pigments according to the chemical structure of the compounds.
From the perspective of manufacturing classification can be divided into titanium pigments, iron pigments, chrome pigments, rubber pigments, ceramics and enamel pigments, pharmaceutical chemicals with pigments, Pigment art paint and so on. A variety of special pigments have some unique properties to meet the application requirements. Pigment production plant can also be targeted to recommend a series of professional users of pigment products.


text:
The quote, attributed to an American settler, appears to be apocryphal, at least I never found the source. But it is a pithy window into why women have, throughout history, wasted a lot of unnecessary and unremunerated time and effort on small transient things.
I come from a long line of skilled crafters, who unfortunately, due to the oppression of Scotland by the English (i.e. the patriarchy) , I never knew.
My Auntie Jane was an astounding needlewoman generally, but she specialised in knitting. She used to work in a knitting shop on pollockshaws road in Glasgow. It's the mulberry cafe now (a lovely spot for a cup of coffee if you're ever down that way). Mum said she used to knit up the latest patterns and put them in the window to tempt people. And back then you could buy your wool on layaway, so if you wanted like 10 balls for a jumper they would put them in the back room for you and each week on payday you could come in and buy the next ball. How civilised. She lived in a tiny council flat (by coincidence my sister and I ended up living in the same block, many years after she died) but once you were inside, you wouldn't know it. It was like a palace. Every inch had something beautiful, every piece of furniture had been carefully pimped up. Everything had a doily (very much in the Barbara Cartland vein, and it sounds terrible, but my auntie Jane was so chic she really pulled it off). There was a little doll with a frilly dress covering the toilet roll. We loved her flat so much. She was especially proud of her "bedroom set" which apparently she saved for years for, all matching white bed and wardrobe and drawers and dressing table with curly bits, complete with frilly surround and glass top and embroidered hairbrush and handmirror (of course) I still covet her living room curtains, huge beautiful wild roses (which matched the wallpaper 🤣) with a crocheted pom-pom edge which absolutely fascinated me. She was tiny, I think I was taller than her when I was 7 🤣 (no exaggeration) and she wore tiny crocheted slippers with Pom-poms on the toes.
Sadly, I was in Africa when she died, and I don't know what happened to all her beautiful work. I expect it was taken to a charity shop and I dearly hope it was found by someone who loves it. The only thing I still have (somewhere, in a tartan biscuit tin with a Scotty dog on the front, a tiny bottle of perfume called Lilly of the valley which smells horrible, a tin of yardley talcum powder, and a leather bookmark from Troon. That's all that remains of Auntie Jane) is a pair of gloves she crocheted. They are tiny, my hands were too big even when I was a kid. And I still can't understand how delicate they are. How is is possible to crochet anything so tiny? Where on earth would you ever wear such a thing? What's it all for? Won't they get dirty? Do you take them off to eat? Did women ruin their eyes doing this? Mind you, perhaps the tiny hands give her an unfair advantage. 🤣
She was the one renowned in the family for the "fancywork". She was only interested in making fancy knitting. She didn't want to knit socks or dish clothes or school jumpers. I guess I'm like her in that regard.
For "plain knitting" auntie Mary was your woman. She did the functional knitting, school jumpers, leg warmers, gloves, hiking socks and blankets. She was slower than auntie Jane. My mum says she knitted in a weird way which I've never seen anyone doing, she says she had long needles and she kind of tucked the left needle under her arm and knitted with the right needle. That way she could knit and do other things at the same time. I don't really understand it.
(Apparently, neither of them had to watch what they were doing, and could carry on conversations while knitting? I can't quite believe it, but maybe if you've learned since you're a kid or something)
The third sister was Minnie. Minnie didn't do "that sort of thing". Minnie was modern, Minnie got divorced (the only one of that generation to do so) in some kind of scandal or sad tale that no adult would ever tell me. My mum says all she knows is her mum told her the only memory she has of her dad is him walking to the garden gate and she never saw him again. Minnie had to move back in with her parents ☹. She had a job at the bank. She wore "fitted suits" (they're always described as "fitted" for some reason). Minnie wasn't interested in knitting, she didn't wear knitting. Knitting was old school and it was drudgery when you could go to a shop and buy something fashionable and bright and be happy. Why spend all those hours on housework?
Despite my proud needlewoman heritage 🤣 I never learned to knit until my twenties. No one in my mums generation did anything like that, no creative hobbies at all. They weren't interested in learning as kids or as adults. They admired the work, but had no desire to own it or to be able to produce it. And they were always I think a little confused by my interest. I don't think anyone really gets why I would spend hours whittling away with a little bit of string just to make a scarf I could buy in the shops for a fiver.
Now and then people at work or somewhere see something you've made, and very often, their highest compliment is: you could SELL these! (Thanks). But you couldn't, really. If I added up the wool plus how long it takes me to make it, that scarf would cost about £300. Even at minimum wage. So you can't sell it, really.
My three aunties kind of illustrate the different roles of craft in women's lives. Back then, it was still possible to earn money from it, which suggests a differently balanced economy, and a different value system. For some women, it was a mundane dreary time consuming drudgery. For others, a pleasure, a means of expressing themselves, and in my auntie janes case, a way of having nicer things than she could afford to buy. For some, it was just a part of life, kids need jumpers, someone's gotta knit them, that's just life.
But whatever they were doing, they tried to do it well, and they did, and were admired for it. Not enough, IMO, but they were.
These sisters show how much has changed. Poor people now don't knit their kids school jumpers, that wouldn't save any money. They don't have time to, anyway. And they wouldn't know how, as no one is taught this routinely any more. Our cheap clothing options come from china, and that is ridiculous for the environment and for the workers.
So I come back to the original quote. Why do I spend so much time fiddling away with little bits of wool and buttons when I could go to the market and buy it for cheaper? Partly, cos I want to be able to do it. I want to have skills. Partly, cos I want something more beautiful than I could afford to buy in the shops. Partly, cos I want different things that you get in the shops. Sometimes I make things about politics or in praise of another artists work.
Women have a history of doing long hours of unappreciated work for their families. But that wasn't all we were doing. We made it as beautiful as we could, too, for ourselves.
Because our work is often transient and functional: how important is a tablecloth, it will get things spilled on it, it will wear out, you can't sell it for what it's worth, it's just a tablecloth: and for that reason, women's craft is undervalued. That is a sick perversion of the patriarchy and rank ingratitude. Because we lay the best of ourselves at your feet (quite literally sometimes) you should appreciate it more, not less. Beauty and love is rare in everyday functional objects. Making new curtains to brighten up the kitchen might seem like a small pointless thing to men, and it does, and they've even convinced us of that. Well it isn't, for some of us anyway. It's a huge spiritual thing, knitting for someone. Just cos patriarchal society doesn't appreciate it. That's society's bad.
If those aunties instead of spending their "craft hours" doing free labour for their family and friends, had had all that time alone in a studio to work on "art", they would be in museums now. That would make their work "serious".
That's why I rescue whatever I can, and that's why I'm starting the Isabella Rosner Online needlework museum (more to follow). To me, these doilies and tablecloths and bedspreads are very important works of art and maybe one day the workers and the world will wake up to that.
Postscript: three sad stories about my auntie Jane and the patriarchySad story #One: My Auntie Jane, The Knitted Suit, And The Patriarchy My family were poor, but my mum got a good apprenticeship after school, and ended up getting asked out by a posh boy, Graham. Things were going well and she was to meet his friends one night after work for drinks in a posh hotel on George square. She was all excited and wanted to look her best, so she showed auntie Jane a picture of a lady wearing a pink knitted suit, which was very swish. My auntie Jane knitted it up for my mums big night out.
Unfortunately, the minute she hit the hotel bar she realised that the pink knitted suit wasn't as stylish and chic as she had pictured it. She didn't cut the required figure, and the meet went badly. He didn't want to meet her again after that. Mum said she didn't care, because maybe it wasn't very chic but it was made with love, and if he cares what his friends think, then he's a snob anyway. Of course, that's the right answer. But I can't help thinking she DID mind, or she wouldn't still remember the guys name 40 years later.
Sad story #Two: My Auntie Jane, The Man In The Cupboard, The Little Shoemakers, and The Patriarchy Because of the disgusting treatment of Scotland by their English oppressors, my family was scattered in the brain drain following the war, so we only got to see my auntie Jane a few times a year.
(The funny thing now is I realise, looking back, we never told her we were coming, or any of the relatives. We just turned up and they were always home. Weird. I would never dream of just popping by someone's house without letting them know first. Anyway.)
Our favourite game at her house was "The Little Shoemakers". She had two footstools covered in pink damask silk with curly legs. We loved them cos we thought they were like miniature kids thrones. Our best game was to turn them upside down so the legs were in the air, and put our shoes on the legs like shoe lasts, and pretend to be hammering them, and when she came from the kitchen (usually with a tin of chocolate biscuits from marks and spencers, a rare treat indeed for middle class kids from the Home Counties. We got shit like raisins and carrot sticks 😡) she would always say "oh there's ma wee shoemakers. What'll you make for your auntie?" And we would tell her all the amazing shoes we would make, like ones from glass, and ones with a million diamonds, ones that made the world smell like strawberries wherever you went, ones that made you into the best dancer in the world, ones that could fly or make you invisible, and stuff. My sister made the best pair ever once, that could stomp anything in the universe, then let you roll up in a ball like a wood louse and roll away to safety. Amazing. We would roll about laughing on her rug, which was pink and gold and green like a princesses and so thick and luxurious that all the flowers and leaves stood up by themselves and you could bury pennies in it.
At her funeral, we saw my auntie janes son who we hadn't met in years. He hadn't realised that we still went and visited her. How sad is that? Colonialism destroys families. Anyway. He suddenly put two and two together, and went: oh my god! You're the two little girls that visit her! He had thought she was talking shit all this time, about two little girls who visited her and ate her biscuits and made her magical flying shoes on the footstools. He thought his mum had gone a little soft in the head. But that IS what happened.
And we thought she had gone a little soft in the head. There was an electricity cupboard by the main communal door to the flats, and she told us a man lived in there and she'd seen him that morning and said good morning etc. We were like "oh ok auntie Jane, that's nice🙄).
A few years later, my sister and I moved into the block. After a while, we identified a bad smell in the communal hallway, which we eventually traced to this cupboard (can you tell what it is yet? 😏). Inside we found a lot of screwed up newspaper and human shit. That was a fun morning haha. But someone HAD been in the cupboard.
Women aren't taken seriously, we are appeased and ignored; and the patriarchy/capitalism/colonialism destroys families.
Sad story #Three: My Auntie Jane, Walking Behind The Patriarchy Every marriage in my family seems to have been an unhappy one, for the woman and kids especially. Auntie Jane's was one of the good ones: he was well dressed, he stayed, had a job, didn't drink or gamble, and didn't beat anyone up. But my mum says, he was "a bit of a weirdy".
The only specific example of this I was able to glean (that's what family is: a machine that within two generations has reduced you to one story which is all anyone will know about you for the rest of time. I already know what my story's gonna be 🤣) is that he liked to go out for a walk every Sunday afternoon after church, wearing his full army uniform (he was civilian, but served in WW2). This walk was non negotiable. And during the walk, my auntie Jane and the two boys had to walk behind him, because it is inappropriate for a man in uniform to be accompanied by his family in the street.
The moral of sad story #3 is: fuck the patriarchy ✊🏻

The Ziegler Catalysts: Serendipity or Systematic Research?
Fifty-four years after the Nobel Prize was awarded to KarlZiegler and Giulio Natta for the polymerization of olefins bycomplex organometallic catalysts, the field continues to elicitenormous interest, both from the academia and the industry.Furthermore, this chemistry and technology occupy ahigh ground in the annals of 20th-century science. The eleganceand simplicity of Ziegler's chemistry continue to astoundresearchers even today, and the enormous impact thischemistry has had on the quality of our life is truly incredible.Polyethylene, produced using Ziegler's chemistry hastouched every aspect of common man's life, so much so that,today it is impossible to imagine life on this planet withoutpolyethylene. Equally fascinating is the story of how Zieglerstumbled on this most impactful discovery. Ziegler's disciplineand rigor in systematically following every lead in thelaboratory, however trivial it seemed, and his penchant forunderstanding the basics of science culminated in 1954, witha simple reaction for converting ethylene to polyethylene, thequintessential carbon-carbon (C-C) bond forming reaction.His life and work hold many lessons for all scientists whodream of making their scientific quests useful and relevantto society. It is also relevant to the contemporary debate onbasic versus applied research.

Giulio Natta and the Origins of Stereoregular Polymers
The name of Natta is entwined inextricably with that of Ziegler,in the famous catalyst systems known by their names andused to make polyethylene and polypropylene. Unlike ethylene,which is achiral, propylene is a prochiral molecule andupon polymerization can lead to interesting stereochemicaland regiochemical enchainment sequences. Natta's presciencein recognizing this unique feature of propylene led to the discoveryof crystalline isotactic polypropylene and the beginningof a new industry. The story of how Natta discoveredpolypropylene is an engrossing one – one of stiff competitionamongst contemporaries, Natta's intimate relationship withthe Italian industries, and his unique scientific background.Natta's identification of isotactic polypropylene as a righthandedthree fold 'single helix' in March 1954, in quick successionto the discovery of DNA 'double helix' by Watson,Crick, and Rosalind Franklin (March 1953), and the coiledcoilmotif of 'triple helix' of collagen by G N Ramachandran(August 1954), makes this period the 'golden age of macromolecularcrystallography'.

Ziegler-Natta Polymerization and the Remaining Challenges
Polymers have become indispensable in the 21st century, andtoday we cannot imagine life without them. However, tillaround the beginning of the last century, the science of polymerswas considered a very primitive discipline, and majorityof the scientific community did not believe that polymers evenexisted. Hermann Staudinger, among others, fought a longbattle to convince the scientific community that polymers arereal and that they are long chain molecular entities. Buildingon this rational bedrock of polymer science, Prof. KarlZiegler laid the foundation of ethylene polymerization. Asoutlined by Dr. Sivaram in his articles on Ziegler and Natta,careful observations and systematic analyses of serendipitousresults enabled Ziegler to develop the enormously significant
'M¨ulheim atmospheric polyethylene process'. A decade later,Cossee and Arlman revealed the mechanism of this polymerizationreaction, which is called 'insertion polymerization'.Insertion polymerization is popularly known as the 'Ziegler–Natta polymerization', in recognition of its founding fathers.Today, the world produces about 180 million tons of polyolefinsannually, and polyethylene or polythene has become ahousehold name.
In this article, I shall present an overview of Ziegler–Nattapolymerization. I will highlight the mechanism of this reaction,and outline the progress made in the last seven decadesusing some real-world examples. The last part of this article will take a stock of the unresolved challenges posed byZiegler–Natta polymerization, briefly discuss current solutions,and reiterate the enormous potential of this seventyyear-old reaction to meet contemporary challenges.

There is just something about a studio. A clean, white space. Everything is fresh. Everything is new. Blank. This is the place where new things are born. I walked into Marian's studio this week, and some of the moments within the space stopped me in my tracks. It is something, really. How a change in scenery jolts inspiration in you. How it can zing even the most dormant parts of your mind.
I would tell you that all the times in my life where I dreamed of more, I was in a new place. A change of scenery. When I dreamed of becoming a "real" writer, when I dreamed of having children, when I dreamed of taking my little brand and blowing it up into something substantial. When I dreamed of writing…again. When I dreamed of working with other businesses and leaders in coaching them to help make their brands turn into something substantial. When I dreamed of figuring out a way to tell my own story while honoring the people who have shared it with me.
What is it about a new place that does it to me? Why does it move me so? Maybe for one minute or for a few days, I step outside of myself. Maybe it is the wonder in my eyes to digest something new…the doors to open possibilities seems to fly open. For everything.
I'm sitting on a porch, not particularly breathtaking, but beautiful all the same. The wind is in my hair and the sun on my back. The wind carries the scent of a toppled over basil plant, and the day that lays before me is…new.
We do get to begin again. We do get to dream again. Once we decide to only try.
Believe me, there was a time I didn't believe it to be so. If that's you, I get it. And it doesn't matter if you believe it yet or not. The universe and all the energy moving through this world believes in you. God does. I do.
I'll believe for you and me for now. And when the time comes again I need it, maybe you can believe for me.
I have to believe it. I have to cling to the hope…of more. Not believing it did me zero good.
Not believing it kept me right where I was.
Stuck. Unmoving.
To believing in beginning again. To new places. To moving.

"Perfectionist Wants Perfect Man to Love"
OUT TODAY!! "Perfectionist Wants Perfect Man to Love" (MM) by Cara Adams "A Man to Love" book 2
Storm, the second youngest of the six Hill brothers, has worked hard to make everything in his life perfect. If only Cruz Baker were taller, thinner, richer...more like him. He's attractive and a good attorney, but messy. However, Cruz is determined to teach Storm to relax.
Storm admits Cruz has helped Christabelle Nelson win her court cases against her badly behaved ex-boyfriend, but he doesn't behave the way Storm needs his perfect partner to act. Life is much better, Storm is sure, if everything is just exactly right, like he orders it.
Cruz wants to demonstrate to Storm that a little disorganization, some relaxation, and even the occasional mess can make life so much more interesting.
Do opposites really attract? Will Storm loosen up enough to even look properly at Cruz? And will Tom Frame go away and leave Chris alone?
Story Excerpt
All through their time in the courtroom, Storm had found his gaze wandering back to Cruz. He was here to support Chris, not to listen to her attorney, but in court, Cruz was strong, powerful, and smart. He looked imposing and attractive in his charcoal suit. There was something about the outfit that turned Cruz into a very handsome man. Normally he wasn't particularly tall, and he definitely needed to lose ten pounds off his waistline—maybe even twenty pounds—but right now, he was eye-catching, and no one could ignore him. Especially not Storm.
Storm wondered if part of his lack of willingness to get closer to Cruz was that Cruz had the same coloring as himself, medium-brown hair and brown eyes, not golden blond hair like Storm's stunningly good-looking brother, Jude, or shaggy black hair that screamed "bad boy" like his brother Atticus.
Even his eyes were boringly average rather than bright blue like his mother's or piercingly black like his father's. Storm might have missed out on all the best genetics, being the fifth of six sons in the family, but he made certain his life was as perfect inside those confines as he could arrange it. He would never eat a second slice of cake and risk it giving him a potbelly.
But there was still something about Cruz that called to him even though Cruz had accused him of being in a rut which was completely untrue.
So why do I keep looking at him and thinking about him? What's wrong with me? He's not the right man for me. I need someone who's moving up in his career. Someone like Kai or Alan. Successful men, like me.
"Come on, Storm. It's time to celebrate," said Ross, his youngest brother, pushing his shoulder. Storm jumped to his feet and followed his family out of the courtroom.
"Where are we going?" he asked.
"Chris. This is your celebration. Where shall we go for lunch?"
"I don't know."
"Name somewhere you've heard of that you'd like to try out," suggested Kai, smiling at her.
She was still thin but not as frail as when their mother had taken her under her wing. Chris's arms and legs were skinny, but the baby was growing well, and Chris's frame no longer looked as though it wouldn't be able to support her. One of his brothers had said she looked like she'd swallowed a basketball, and that was true. She wasn't rounded all over like many pregnant women. She was skinny with a baby stuck out in front. But she was smiling and happy, and it was time to celebrate winning her court case.
Although if Storm ever met Tom in a dark alley, he wasn't promising not to break his nose or something similar. The man was an asshole not to appreciate Chris.
Chris smiled like a normal teenager, and said, "Can we please go to Dirty Dick's then? My parents would never let me go there, and Tom refused to take me because he said it was only for boys. Which is a lie because I know girls who've been there. Eating there today would be the most amazing thing."
"Of course."
"Let's do it."
"There are enough of us here to protect you and Mom."
Storm wasn't really pleased with his brothers agreeing so easily. Dirty Dick's wasn't R-rated or anything, but it encouraged loud behavior. Everyone sat at enormously long benches and wore paper bibs around their necks as they ate ribs and fries with their fingers.
Storm could see himself having to take the suit he was wearing to the dry cleaners immediately after lunch.
But then, this was Christabelle's day. She deserved to do whatever she wanted to. Soon enough she was going to become an adult with a child to care for, instead of picking out a prom dress or whatever girls her age usually did. Besides, this sounded like her way of raising her middle finger to that asshole, Tom, and he wholeheartedly approved of her doing that.
They all gathered around the end of one long bench, his two parents, five brothers, Kai's lover, Alan, and beside Chris, Cruz, her lawyer and Sawyer's colleague. Not the man he was interested in. He absolutely was not interested in anyone who drove a beatenup Ford. The only man he would ever be interested in was one just like him. Organized. Neat, controlled, with his eyes on the main focus of life, the goals he planned to achieve.
While they waited for their ribs and fries to be bought to them, they drank light beer out of tankards, except for Chris, who was not only pregnant but also underage, and Cruz, who never drank during business hours.
"I thought long, boozy lunches were the mainstay of an attorney's life," he teased, grinning at Sawyer, who was drinking his beer.
"I wish. Most days it's a burger as I walk back to my office from court," complained Sawyer.
"Or a brown bag lunch brought from home," added Cruz.
"What made you decide not to drink during the day, Cruz?" asked Alan, proving once again that he was damn smart and a good match for Kai, Storm's bossy millionaire oldest brother.
"People tend to underestimate me," he said, looking right at Storm. "I'm not rich like Kai, or handsome like Jude, or driven like Storm. I'm just me. But I like to think that during the working day every brain cell is alert enough to help me make decisions."
I'm not driven! I'm just determined to keep progressing up the career ladder as fast as possible.
But maybe I have underestimated him. He certainly won Chris's case without ever appearing to break a sweat.
Storm started eating his ribs, with his fingers, while thinking over what he knew about Cruz, instead of joining in the loud banter around the table.

Millionaire Wants Man to Love
The first book in the "A Man to Love" series is out now. A new book will release every two weeks until all six brothers find their Mr. Right.
Millionaire Wants Man to Love: Blurb
Kai Hill's father has told his six gay sons to find partners within a year. Kai has a million-dollar business, the Hill Corporation, to run. He's got no time for romance. However when he and Alan Lewis meet while rescuing a teenage girl, Kai starts to think he could make time in his life for a man like Alan.
Christabelle Nelson has been spurned by the father of her child and thrown out of her home by her family. Kai goes walking to burn off his annoyance at his family but he can't ignore an injured girl. Alan goes jogging at night to relax enough to sleep. Finding an injured teenager isn't very relaxing, but he can't ignore her either.
The entire Hill family becomes involved in caring for Christabelle and her child. Meanwhile Kai and Alan finally find a moment to get to know each other and discover they have a multitude of things in common.
Kai tugged on the door to ensure it was locked behind him. It was a habit engrained in all of them from their earliest days because every room opened onto the courtyard. Their protection was in the blank walls and heavy entry door, not in anything inside the building.
His parents had been able to buy such a huge plot of land forty years ago because this was on the outskirts of town and on the poorer side. It was by no means a slum, or a dangerous neighborhood, but it wasn't a good place for people to wander alone at night unless they were alert. Right now, Kai would welcome a few punks trying to remove his wallet. He'd taken off his suit coat and necktie before dinner, but he was still wearing business clothing, and nicer clothing at that, although not Armani or anything showy. He preferred to look middle of the road. It was always much better that people he might have to bid against for a contract underestimated him.
Kai shoved his hands deep in his pants pockets and strode along the sidewalk. Two miles to the park, half a mile around the park, and two miles back home should be enough to rid his body of the adrenaline, let him forget all about his father's ultimatum, and get his mind focused back on his real life. For example, how to sort out the Standforth contract.
It was a tricky piece of business dealings. He was almost certain they were hiding a problem. That contract didn't smell right. Oh, it looked like something his company could do, but it also made him wary, and there was no way he was going to sign it unless he was certain there were no hidden traps in it.
Kai was deep in thought as he entered the park and turned left to circumnavigate it. His shoes sounded loud on the concrete, and he was aware that he hadn't seen anyone else for five minutes at least. It wasn't that late. Maybe eleven. There would normally have been a few people out jogging or walking their dogs. He stopped thinking about the Standforth contract and paid more attention to his surroundings. He didn't want to meet a gang of thugs. One thug didn't bother him. Nor did two. Growing up in a family of six boys had taught him more than he ever needed to know about fighting, both clean and dirty. But he wasn't stupid, and an entire gang would be sure to pound the shit out of him. He didn't have time to spend a week in the hospital recovering from broken bones. Did they even have decent Wi-Fi at the local hospital? How would he answer his e-mails?
Up ahead, he noticed the park lights had been smashed, and the trees made everything dark. That definitely doesn't look good. I'll turn back.
A female scream cut though the air. "No! Leave me alone!"
He started to run toward her, and from his left, a jogger he hadn't noticed raced across the park heading for the trees ahead of him. A punk burst out of the shrubbery holding a backpack across his chest, coming straight toward Kai. Kai launched himself forward, surprising the criminal and smashing him down onto the concrete. The punk dropped the backpack and wiggled away from Kai. Kai grabbed the backpack, figuring the woman's possessions were more important than giving the criminal a punch.
Gripping the backpack, he raced forward and found the jogger bending over a huddled figure pressed against the tree.
"She's hurt. Call the paramedics."
"No, no. I don't have any money. I'll be fine."
"She's bleeding. She's not fine." The jogger's face was pale and worried in the dim light under the trees.
Kai pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "I'll pay for you to see a doctor."
"I can't pay you back. I don't want your charity. I'll be fine." She swiped a hand across her face, and Kai caught a glimpse of hollow eyes surrounded by black shadows, streaks of blood, and a swollen belly underneath a too-short, too-tight T-shirt.
Fucking hell. She was injured, argumentative, and pregnant.
Then he had a brilliant idea. "Will you let my mother bandage your injuries at least? She's a retired nurse."
"I…" Her voice trailed away, and she slumped against the jogger.
"I'll take that as a yes. Where's your car? I walked here."

Rafa Benitez was pleased to get a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park tonight and it was an excellent result for the team.
We needed to get something tonight after turned out to be a disappointing display at home and a 3-0 defeat against West Ham on Saturday.
Rafa Benitez and Marco Silva meet
This is what Rafa Benitez told the BBC after the game tonight:
"I think the work they produced against a very good team was fantastic."
"We suffered after taking the lead but we were better in the second half and both teams had chances to score."
"The players are doing what they have to do but we would be a little bit stronger with a bit more accuracy in our counter-attacks."
"The main thing was to defend well and create chances and that is what we did."
"We have to be realistic, they are a good team and they had chances in the first half,."
"And they have four games unbeaten at home, so we have to credit our players."
Fabian Schar picked up his 5th yellow card tonight – it seems like an average of one yellow card per game for the popular Swiss International.
And he will now miss the home game against Wolves on Sunday afternoon at St. James' Park.
Wolves will be tough after they beat Chelsea 2-1 at home tonight.
Let's hope we can get a win against Wolves and climb the league table.
Comments welcome.

""Sources close to the Magpies owner say the former Manchester United and Chelsea chief executive has been 'rowing his own boat' and they are yet to see evidence of the financial support he would need to see through a deal of around £300million.""
Great point tonight and we could've even nicked it at the end but for a poor finish and a decent save by the mackum runt
KI is fast becoming my favorite player .never plays a bad ball .keeps it simple.convinced without him in the last few games we would have dropped points . he just seems to have time on the ball and doesn't just look to hoof it anywhere.
Nice to see catchy's spiteful/snidey/ expected response to tonight's performance , must be fuming we didn't lose.:) Some fans eh .?
Chopper watch (belated) update
Choppers grounded due to adverse weather conditions.
Stetson watch – none spotted in and around SJP today, at least by me.
Overheard a very interesting conversation in a SJP lift between two junior coaches. They were concerned about their pay dates during December and January and whether they may be brought forward. Sorry, did I say interesting?
Not going to ask you our right and give the game away, but when you say wanting to wire a mixer, could that be at a radio station by any chance? Just with your love of music and record colley? Just trying to guess who you may be and if I'm right, if you could have benn and still are working at the place who I won the kylie ticket from that I mentioned yesterday?
On a serious note Rob that is a nightmare when pay date changes. I got a promotion last year but as I started on 2 December rather than 30 November my pay increase didn't go through straight away as needed to be put through earlier coz of payday being brought forward. Just been for an interview today and if I get the job because of early pay might not get paid until end of January. Mind bet the coaches are getting paid a lot more than most of us c even the junior ones
Cheers, Simon – not good news, but they're having a tough season. Mind, half their best players are with the stiffs, so not surprising.
Yep, agree re pay dates – when they change and direct debits don't, the pain is real. These coaches were very junior – early 20s, Academy coaches I think, bet they're not on much.
Good luck with the job interview, from your post the other night re heath issues it sounds like you're due some good fortune.
BTW, Online Guy is a ham radio enthusiast and (I believe) a music producer / sound engineer – retired I think, but may be wrong on both counts. Definitely a ham radio guy though, he's quite open about that and his passion is clear.
Had a long evening at work so couldn't watch/follow the match but that is a very good point and could well have been three from what I've been told. Regarding the potential sale of the club, I'm not getting my hopes up and won't believe anything until any takeover is signed on and officially announced. Been reading through some of the posts before and during the game, i see a few of the usual suspects have been peddling the same old Rafa is clueless drivel. Divvys. Hwtl.
I hope Murphy gets a run in the team. If we're going to play counter attack as our main style Ritchie is far too slow. Atsu on the other hand is fast, but can't do much with the ball. If Ritchie had Atsu's pace he'd be amazing, likewise if Atsu had Ritchie's crossing skills.
On Alimiron, if we are so close to a sale there is no way Ashley will fork out £25m unless the next chairman agrees to pay an extra 25m for the club. And any chairman wouldn't like that idea. They'd want to be the one seen to be bringing in players. Maybe it's a loan with agreement to buy, or perhaps Ashley has set a deadline for sales talks and after that will begin to buy players (and move the price up)
Chris Hughton is doing a fantastic job. I wonder what might have been if Ashley didn't make the mistake of sacking him. We'd likely have been spared the Pardew years, the McClaren years, and Carver. I imagine Hughton would have got the best out of a lot of that talent Carr brought in too – Cabaye, Ben Arfa, Thauvin etc.
hmm atsu showed as much passion as ritchie, ran himself to the ground like ritchie , tracked back like ritchie etc
however unlike ritchie , atsu …
1. actually took on and went past defenders,
2. instigated forward moves himself and didnt simply wait for yedlin to run past him
3. showed some actual creative skill on the ball
4. created chances out of nothing
5. didnt completely miss the goal from 3 yards out
On that showing i wonder how anyone can justify the continued inclusion of Midget Ritchie in the side
I'd have Atsu in above him, but that's not saying I rate Atsu. Imagine a top quality winger getting crosses in and sprinting up to support Rondon, chipping in with a few goals. I really think we just need a few players and we will be a good team. Support at left back, number 10, one winger, and a backup for Rondon. Probably looking at 60m plus though due to the positions although Clark Atsu and Ritchie would fetch 25m.
Good point. There is a few mini leagues now. Top 2.
3rd to 5th
6th to 13th.
14th to 20th.
As long as we match or better 3 of the teams results in our lge we should be ok going into april may.
I think soton burnley hudds cardiff are worse than us. We should be ok depending on what these teams do in January
Looking at the final positions in last seasons PL table, in hindsight, with 35 pts, we would have cleared relegation by 1 pt. this season's league table looks to be panning out the same way ,so I think we would be ok with 38 pts. If we get new owners and they do good business in the transfer window , we should be looking at a top half finish again but this time next season we should be challenging for top six.

|Mud football!
Our zone did quite well this week. As a whole, the missionaries in Ferndale found 17 new investigators, meaning that the zone reached standards in that key indicator. Elder McRae, who has a knack for conducting highly effective district meetings, has focused a ton on finding and contacting with the Restoration pamphlet, and so his efforts seem to have had some positive impact on the work. His district has found 22 new investigators in the past two weeks.
Well, Darien, our 12 year-old investigator, obtained permission from his grandmother to be baptized this past weekend, and then she was Life Flight-ed to the hospital in Spokane for what turned out to be a tear in her stomach. She is recovering, but insists on being present at her grandson's baptism (and rightly so), so we have postponed his baptism until she is back in Blaine. We may end up holding the baptism as soon as she returns - even if it occurs on Thursday night and is attended primarily by family - so that she can be sure to witness it before her health recedes.
Jessica and Zack made the decision to be married and baptized on May 2nd and 10th, respectively. We're super stoked because, initially, their wedding was scheduled for December. Of 2015. Miracles! Anyhow, they're really doing wonderfully and are consistently excited to meet with us and learn more about the gospel. They keep their commitments and were both able to find time away from work to attend church yesterday. However, we learned that, again, Jessica's family has come down hard on her with anti-Mormon propaganda, so our appointment tonight might get a little dicey. Good thing we carry the Spirit!
This week, each missionary in the zone had the opportunity to sit and interview with President Bonham. Let me tell you, I am so blessed to be serving here and now with President Bonham. I just know he is the right man for the job!
That's crazy to hear about the Honda. I'm really happy to hear that everyone is all right.
Also, I can't believe that Walker is that big now.
P.S. Last Monday, we played football in the mud flats of Onion Bay just south of the Lummi Indian reservation. It was the craziest, most awesome thing I've ever done on a p-day. Pictures will hopefully come soon.
I love y'all!
Elder Martin

I hate it that the "last Months Best FUND" method got put on the tracker as the last months best month.
What the heck does last month best month even mean? That don't make any sense at all.
Good Afternoon all, and a good day in stocks!
My current allocation is 50/50 in C/S funds. I'm considering moving some from S to I after reading that S may plateau around its all time high soon?
I'm also intrigued by the Last Month Best Month method and may jump on that bandwagon after seeing it's great results over the short and long terms. Maybe June 1st will be my first LMBM IFT? I'm gonna do a little more research first.
I'm very new to all of this but I'm having a blast so far

Sticking with 50C/50S over the weekend. Taking that gamble that we'll see bounce backs in the Dow and S&P Monday.
moved to 100% F fund. Was starting to get uncomfortable so I got out. Probably stick with F till I see a good entry point for C, S or I.
i moved my money to the F fund late last night. did my money get in to F at some point during the day or after the market closes today?
also, its my understanding that if i make the move before noon, the funds will be in their new home before the open of the next day? Just trying to figure things out..

Role & Duties of a Home Care Nurse
Home care nurses provide in-home health services for patients and their families. Their visits not only allow patients to remain in the comfort of their home but also help family caregivers stay abreast of their loved ones' health. Working under the supervision of a physician, they coordinate and manage patients' at-home care plan.
Job Description
Patient needs are the focus of the home health nurse responsibilities. Like other nurses, she provides care in coordination with a physician and other health care workers. When she visits a patient's home, she assesses the patient's condition, takes vital signs, such as blood pressure and manages wound care, as needed. Home health nurses often manage and administer prescription medicines when patients need it. She might also check bedridden patients for bed sores and muscle weakness. She writes and sends reports about each visit to the patient's physician. She identifies care issues and makes recommendations about changes to the patient's care plan. She talks to family caregivers who are present during her visits, listens to their concerns and updates them on the patient's condition.
Education Requirements
Home care nurses need a bachelor's degree from a school of nursing. This degree, the BSN, usually takes four years to complete. You will take science classes such as anatomy, biology, physiology and chemistry along with liberal arts courses. Accredited BSN programs often include courses such as psychology, leadership and communications. This degree also requires that you complete a supervised clinical practice component. After completion of her BSN, a nurse must pass the NCLEX-RN exam to get a license before she can work as a home care nurse. The licensing board in each state approves applications from nurses who wish to receive a license.
The median income for home health care nurses in 2018 is $77,191. Half of all home care nurses earn less than this amount and half earn more. Salaries range from $70,185 to $85,168 due to factors such as industry trends and employer type. The top 10 percent earn $92,431 while the bottom 10 percent earn $63,806 annually.
The role of home health nurses is expanding due to limited hospitalization insurance practices and patient preferences for home care versus skilled nursing facilities. In addition to managing care for patients with chronic illnesses, many home health care nurses have specializations such as senior or rehabilitation care. You can work for an agency or for a medical facility, such as a hospital. Your assignments will require extensive local travel to patients' homes, unlike hospital-based nurses. Normally, you can work an eight-or-twelve-hour shift. Depending on your employer, on-call schedules might be an option as well.
Years of Experience
Home health care nurses invest a lot of time into their education and licenses. Experienced nurses add value to any health care organization, so salaries increase over time. However, after 10 years, they tend to remain level. One projection looks like this:
- 1-2 years: $72,590-$76,668
- 3-4 years: $75,099-$79,215
- 5-6 years: $76,668-$81,120
- 7-9 years: $77,191-$81,715
- 10-14 years: $77,191-$81,715
- 15-19 years: $77,191-$81,715
- 20 or more years: $77,191-$81,715
Job Growth Trend
The job outlook for nurses is bright, with 15-percent growth expected between 2016 and 2026. This rate is higher than average for most other careers. An aging population will create more opportunities for home health workers, especially as Baby Boomers' health care needs increase and create more demand.

A New Heroine: Crazy Rich Asians and To All the Boys I've Loved Before
Summer 2018 was the summer of the wildly successful rom-com, but it was also the summer of long-awaited racial representation. Crazy Rich Asians, starring Constance Wu and an all-Asian cast, shattered box office records by becoming the most successful studio rom-com film in nine years. On Netflix, To All the Boys I've Loved Before, has already stolen the hearts of rom-com fanatics worldwide, and the film stars Asian-American actress Lana Condor as its leading character.
Both films are adaptations of books: Crazy Rich Asians was written by Kevin Kwan, and To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han. Both Kwan and Han are Asian American authors, weaving elements of their own experiences into their respective stories.
It seems like a no-brainer: casting an Asian American to play the role of an Asian American book character. However, both authors had to work long and hard in order to obtain said representation. To All the Boys I've Loved Before is a high school romance story, and Lara Jean, the main character, is proud to be Asian American. Author Jenny Han fought just to get an Asian girl on the cover of her novel, so when it came to the film, she insisted on casting the role of Lara Jean with an Asian American actress. Multiple studios extended the offer with the condition of making Lara Jean white, but Han refused to concede.
The story is similar for Kevin Kwan, who elected to side with Warner Bros. for the film adaptation of Crazy Rich Asians. Hollywood hadn't produced a major motion film starring an all-Asian cast since The Joy Luck Club, which was released 25 years ago. That said, projecting this all-Asian cast on the big screen was a massive deal. The whirlwind romance unravels as NYU professor Rachel Chu flies to Singapore to meet her boyfriend's family, and shows how Rachel's American values collide with those of Nick's family. The film rejects the misconception that all Asians can be placed under one umbrella term, and instead illustrates how the Asian American experience is unique unto itself.
Asian Americans are still grossly underrepresented in the film industry. Most of the time, they're portrayed as side characters, with directors leaning on stereotypes – dragon mom, overachieving student, etc. – to fill their diversity quotas. However, both Crazy Rich Asians and To All the Boys I've Loved Before push against these stereotypes. Rachel Chu and Lara Jean are complex and nuanced leading ladies, characterized by their sharp wit, undeniable charm, and so many other traits besides their race. Everyone's story deserves to get told, and everyone has the capacity to become the hero (or heroine) of their own movie – regardless of their race.

Support the CBA and its many initiatives by becoming a corporate board member. With membership, there are no limitations to the many ways your company can get involved. Past engagements have included analytics projects, executive classroom visits, founding research fellowships, and technical skill development using analytics software.
Classroom Engagement
Kate Spade & Company challenged graduate students to use a targeted application of analytics: Complete a thorough brand analysis and offer strategic recommendations for enhancing customer engagement and revenue.
Process: Students conducted a situational analysis of Kate Spade's competition and marketplace, and using IBM and comScore's analytics tools, examined customer survey data, developed technical models, and drove insights. McKinsey & Co. advised students on translating results into actionable suggestions and presenting value to managerial audiences.
Outcomes: The students uncovered key opportunities to capture a greater share of competitor audience, convert gift givers and recipients into loyal customers, and influence current customers to shop the new Kate Spade Saturday brand. After seeing the students' presentations, McKinsey & Co. immediately hired four M.S. in Commerce students.
Faculty Research Collaboration
Global marketing research firm IPSOS Public Affairs worked closely with the CBA to probe U.S. consumer and workplace attitudes on automation. Research delved into opinions on related subjects that ranged from online banking and self-driving cars to big issues like large-scale job loss.
Process: The IPSOS/CBA team developed a framework for analyzing perceptions on automation. Capturing a snapshot of prevailing opinions concerning the integration of AI, the research program incorporated two online surveys that gathered responses from 4,000 U.S. adults. The team then charted the results, detailing perspectives in a paper titled "The Automation Divide."
Outcomes: Americans are split in their views and expectations about automation, and the paper's divergent and surprising findings were featured in WIRED magazine. The IPSOS/CBA team provided vital recommendations: enhance trust with "autophobes," increase enterprise and cyber-physical system security, offer displaced worker training programs, and introduce greater workplace dialogue.
Student Research Fellowships
Through the Deloitte Foundation Analytics Program, the renowned professional services firm invested in a fellowship to support student projects concerned with industry-oriented predictive analytics. Student researchers used customer sentiment as predictive indicators of consumer ratings to deliver cost-effective insights about demand for 3D printers.
Process: Using an extensive data set of 3D printers listed on Amazon, students cleaned the information using R and Python programming languages to reveal the most meaningful content. Evaluating machine-learning models such as gradient boosted, decision trees, and logistic regression, the team successfully classified reviews, reaching an average predictive accuracy of 73%.
Outcomes: Based on their results, the team advised 3D printer manufacturers to release new products or highlight updates to reengage customers and increase satisfaction with their products. The study also suggests manufacturers examine the spread of positive or negative polarity across competitor products to learn more about consumer opinions and the features they value.
What do CBA board members get in return?
As a member company, you'll receive valuable research information on pressing industry challenges, enjoy increased visibility among students and faculty—including access to hire highly skilled graduates—and the opportunity to expand professional network.

I completed reading this book 'I don't know how she does it' by Allison Pearson. It was an awesome read. It was sooo humorous that I couldn't help laughing out aloud as I kept reading but that was only till about reaching 50 pages. Then I started feeling quite hurt finding how achingly true the life of a working mother is portrayed in the book and how ALL and more of this is true not just in England but throughout the world.
The dilemma of every working mom is "Am I doing the right thing? Am I depriving my kids in anyway a good home?" Well, there is no right answer to this and I am sure every stay-at-home mom has the same dilemma about if she is right staying at home and not contributing financially to the family. Then comes this hybrid breed who throw away their careers and choose to stay at home with kids. I happen to be one of them at least right now. And to be frank, I feel no better than how I felt when I was working. All the multitude of tasks I thought I would have the hang of, when I stay at home, are still out of reach. I thought only when I was a manager I ended up reacting and not planning ahead due to lack of time. But domestic life is no different!! 🙂 Everyday I just react to what happens and not act as I plan the previous night. Kids throw surprises everyday and I end up having absolutely no private time, at least when you work you decide what you do between 9 to 7! Of course most of that would only be work.. 🙂 Still you can chat with your friends while you are at work,and not to mention lunch breaks with adults for a change! 🙂 And to be true, there were times when I waited for Monday to go back to a predictable routine after an especially long weekend!
Anyway coming back to being a hybrid mom kind, have I made a huge difference to my kids, by staying them? Yes of course my daughter loves to have me around when she comes back from school and like having me chat up with her friends mothers and take her out on play dates. But to me personally, all that I thought I would be doing when I stay at home were like spending more quality time with her – opening her up to new avenues of thought, doing some artsy-craftsy things together, teaching her sanskrit prayers; but now I seem to be doing nothing of what I wanted to. Because the simple truth is my daughter has no great expectations from a stay-at-home mother, all she needs is a mom and not a caretaker who would optimize the way she spends her hours. Also being at home, you have to be the kind of person she can look up to, so no more lackadaisical attitude. This of course applies to all mothers, just that when you are at home, you get no time to be a slacker! I remember S telling me one night after the lights were out, "You cannot always ask me to be in the best behavior telling me A will learn everything from me. I have no big sister or brother to learn from, so I will only learn from you, so you both have to be in the best behavior for me to learn from you." How true is that statement. All our childhood, we were observing our parents and those elder around us and how we intentionally or unintentionally imbibe those observations in our responses to similar stimuli after we are adults.
Apart from the working mom issues, this book also touched the sensitive in-laws relationship too! I found it amusing that even in a successful English working women's life, she had this duty of fulfilling her in-laws! 🙂 She keeps planning about how to come out unscathed from the watchful eyes of a MIL when it comes to handling her husband and her kids. One would think the wife has the most incentive in maintaining a good household, however it is not to be. The judging eyes of the previous generation keeps lurking to keep the woman in track. The judgement comes from both sets of parents! The man of the family somehow escapes this attention! How unfair this is!!
I guess, my after thoughts are really going out of bounds!! Anyway World, this book will make an excellent read for all mothers, working or non-working alike! Enjoy and devour the perfectly captured moments of a working mom, from the excellent debut novel of Allison Pearson.

We are using TWR-LS1021A in our projects and we need to get at least two usable GPIO pins to make some simple LED indication.
As seen from the scheme of external connectors there are several "gpio" pins from FPGA/CPLD and maybe just 2 pins from ls1021a processor (GPIO3_13 and GPIO3_14).
We are using Yocto 1.7 SDK. It seems that in kernel configuration there are enabled options for controlling gpios via sysfs. Assuming that GPIO3_14 in sysfs mapped to gpio174 we tried to do something like
echo 174 > /sys/class/gpio/export
echo out > /sys/class/gpio174/direction
echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio174/value
echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio174/value
But there is no activity on board's external pin.
So the questions are:
1) Is it correct mapping for GPIO3_14 in sysfs?
2) Do we need to do something else to use sysfs for controlling those two gpios (maybe rcw or dts editing)?
3) Is there a way to access to FPGA/CPLD gpio register and what we need to do for it?
Thank you in advance!

Bissau (Agenzia Fides) - "Many Countries in Africa have already given the example, having created reconciliation commissions and achieved important results. Why do some of our Guinean brothers do not want to believe in the power of forgiveness?" asked His Exc. Mgr. Mons. José Camnate Na Bissing, Bishop of Bissau, launching an appeal for national reconciliation.
Archbishop Camnate addressed this appeal on the occasion of the celebration of perpetual profession, by sr. Eva Sambú and sr. Wally Fernando Cabral in the Church of St. John the Baptist in Brá, on the outskirts of Bissau, on 5 October.
Archbishop Camnate emphasized that if a politician thinks that by dividing the Guinean people he can take advantage of them, he is on the path to civil suicide. The Bishop of Bissau said that it is necessary for Guineans to resolve conflicts through dialogue.
"If we want to help those who are not Christians to understand the true meaning of consecrated, priestly and religious life, we can teach that all ethnic groups in Guinea-Bissau believe in God as the source of life and that every ethnic group tries to thank God for the a gift of life", continued Mgr. José Camnate.
"Consecrated life for the Catholic Church always carries this feeling of gratitude to God, as the Father of infinite goodness and mercy", he concluded. (C.J.C/A.B.) (Agenzia Fides, 18/10/2019)
