Otherwise known as that time where I kept writing on breaks but completely slacked off on updating the word count.
We are in the home stretch; Turkey Day has come and gone and the end of this year's National Novel Writing Month is nearly upon us. It's been a struggle to keep up the word count this time around–not really sure why but it happens–but there is still time to finish.
On the content front I have uploaded the first chapter of The Phoenix, a fic(let?) in which the team, following the events of Infantano Street and the yet-to-be-completed Catalyst fic, travel to Nanda Parbat in the 1400's to the last known sighting of the, well, of the Phoenix, a figure who had long since disappeared from the League of Assassin's history and historical records. The team's goal is to learn the Phoenix's identity and connection to the Elixir of the Phoenix and discover what Vandal Savage wants with both.
Though of course, if you've read chapter 4 of my What If fanfic, you already know more than the team does. 😉
I have uploaded the first chapter, which ends with their decision to visit Nanda Parbat… but I have written out two more, leading to them discovering the Phoenix's identity and being more confused than ever.
And in terms of word count… well, I haven't fallen behind, but that's about it. There's still a slew of notes to be edited out, but this close to the end of the month, I just don't see that happening. I mean, I know NaNo is all about the pre-editing stage (or rather, you can choose for it to be), but just once I'd like to finish with a work that's all story and no notes, and I'm pretty sure I've never done that in the last nine years I've participated. Oh, well, maybe next time.
Daily goal: 1667
Day's count (day 25 taking the total for all): 6750
Total goal: 41667
Total count: 42607
Report card reports: At this rate, you will finish on Nov 30.
Fellow NaNoers, how goes the word count?

The American Heart Association limits sugar intake for children between 12 – 24 grams per day. The corporate leadership at Dunkin' Donuts thinks that, at 120 grams of sucrose, this cosmic happy drink to outer space will take thoughts away from the methodic and very lazy filicide that is happening across the United States. I hate Dunkin' Donuts, more so since its crazies have opened the gate to psychopath for parents who once cared if their children got premature diabetes. Duncan Devilnuts and his/her apologists are yucky bad.
What does this have to do with Roy Lichtenstein?
The things that "made" Roy Lichtenstein are the same things that push sugar on children.
And it's painted in oils.

We would like to thank Lee Meehan for his contribution in assisting Broad Constructions in roof and wall cladding for the St Cecilia BHPB Housing accommodation complex, Port Hedland WA. Lee was able to assist with his well organised management of a proportion of the metal roofing and cladding on this project. Additionally he performed to a high standard under pressure—meeting critical key dates and milestones on our program, which enabled broad constructions to push ahead with works.
Lee's team-oriented demeanour is recommended and he would be beneficial on future roofing and cladding projects of this complexity.


text: As we come to the end of the week there appears to be some evidence that the recent rally in European markets appears to be losing a little bit of momentum with the DAX seeing its worst one day fall since the beginning of January, and likely to finish the week sharply lower. Even US stocks which saw some broadly positive earnings announcements found the going difficult after some initially good momentum and weak economic data, which put the US dollar on the back foot, and crude oil hitting its highest levels this year. With the G20 and IMF meeting in Washington, Greece continues to remain front and centre of events, as apprehension continues to build on the next chapter in this Homeric saga. Reports that IMF chief Christine Lagarde refused an informal request by Greek officials to delay an agreed payment saw sentiment take a little turn for the worst yesterday, with German bunds hitting a new record low of 0.073%, while Greek bond prices slid sharply. With no deal imminent and widespread scepticism that there ever will be, markets appear to be gearing up for when a Greek default happens, and not whether one happens. Later in the day Greek finance minister Varoufakis, fresh from his meeting with President Obama, is scheduled to meet ECB President Mario Draghi, while stating quite clearly last night that Greece would not sign up for another version of extend and pretend. Unfortunately this determination by Greece is being met with an equal determination not to yield on the German side, with German finance minister Schaueble suggesting they were welcome to find the money elsewhere if they wished, as the latest episode of the Greek rock meeting the German immovable object played out. Yesterday's weakness in the US dollar prompted a little bit of a rebound in the euro despite heightened concerns about the rising prospect of a Greek exit,. We could well see go on to see further gains in the euro today, particularly if we see evidence that inflation is starting to edge up in the euro area, while remaining benign in the US. Early this morning we will be getting the final EU CPI numbers for March, and while the annual rate is expected to stay unchanged at -0.1%, the month on month number is expected to jump sharply from 0.6% to 1.1%. If the rise in prices in Europe is not matched by a similar rebound in the US numbers later today we could well expect the greenback to come under further pressure, particularly given last night's comments from the Boston Fed's Eric Rosengren when he stated that he felt that neither of the two conditions that the Fed felt were necessary for a change of policy had been met, and were unlikely to be met in the near future. He went on to add that the US economy was still too weak at this point in time to consider such a move, though this isn't a surprise given he is one of the more dovish members of the FOMC. Contrast that with comments by vice Chair Stanley Fischer who suggested a tightening would happen but it would be extremely small. US CPI for March is expected to remain at 0% year on year and 0.2% month on month. Earlier this week UK CPI inflation remained rooted at 0% for the second month in succession as lower energy and food prices contrived to keep more money in consumers' pockets. In a week where the opinion polls continue to remain stubbornly static, the UK government will be hoping that this morning's latest unemployment and wages data contrive to reinforce the economic competence of the current incumbents. The February ILO unemployment rate is expected to show another fall from 5.7% to 5.6% and its lowest level since September 2008. Jobless claims for March are also expected to show a fall of 29k jobs and in a neat bit of symmetry that would be the 29th monthly fall in claims in succession. More importantly average earnings for the three months to February are expected to show a rise of 1.8%, unchanged from the previous month. EURUSD – the euro continues to look supported above the 1.0500 level and higher lows of the last few days suggests we could move higher. Yesterday's break above 1.0760 and a subsequent move through 1.0800 could well see a move back to the range highs above 1.1000. GBPUSD – four successive positive days for the pound has seen the us move back close to the recent range highs at 1.5000. If we can sustain a move through 1.5000, we could well retest the 1.5168 high seen in mid-March. For this to unfold we need to hold above the 1.4680 level. A decline back through 1.4700 towards 1.4565 keeps the risk for a revisit of the 2010 post-election lows at 1.4230. EURGBP – another attempt at 0.7150 came up short yesterday, and as such we could get a rebound back through the 0.7235 area, towards 0.7280. USDJPY – another failure to push back above 119.70 yesterday could well see the US dollar could well move lower towards the March lows at 118.30. We need to push back above the 120.70 level to retarget the highs at 122.00. CMC Markets is an execution only service provider.

Dear Editor: The Ohio incident where exotic animals were released and police killed most of them brought to mind an incident in Wisconsin that happened over 10 years ago. A circus elephant escaped after it became spooked when a new trainer moved too fast in setting down a prop. Thankfully, this incident didn't turn deadly like another notorious incident in Hawaii, where Tyke the elephant killed her trainer before hundreds of spectators and was shot 86 times by police before she died.
Given the realities of circus life for elephants — constant exposure to changing environments, bright lights, loud noises and being in crowds with children and with other animals — it is inconceivable that a healthy elephant would be so startled. It may mean that she is already under excessive stress, meaning that a flight reaction could be triggered easily, at any time, even while performing or giving rides.

Deanna S. Devaul: End barbaric practice of animal trapping
This week I learned of a dog named Handsome who died an untimely and painful death last weekend when he was caught by the head in a trap.
The trap was set on property owned by the Department of Natural Resources adjacent to a nature conservancy. What was to be an enjoyable day turned tragic for the unsuspecting dog and his owner.
Trapping is a barbaric practice that belongs in the past. Wild and domestic animals suffer immensely. I am concerned for human welfare, also. What happens when a child wanders off the path and is maimed or killed as Handsome was?
As a hiker and photographer who often wanders off the path, now I'm afraid to do what I enjoy so much in life. It's a tragedy that animals have to suffer, and the majority of people have to accommodate a few people in the name of tradition.
There needs to be an end to trapping in Wisconsin.
— Deanna S. Devaul, Madison
Karl Garson: A calf needs a cow's milk, but you don't
The first and only legitimate use for a cow's milk is to feed her calf.
Every other use that follows was forced on us by tradition, habit, marketing, questionable science, political pressure or any of those in varying combinations that arrived glass by fat-lined glass when we were defenseless children.
It's time to throw them off and move on to a diet that excludes many of the dairy choices we're making.
The recent, annual World Dairy Expo at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison was a fascinating spectacle. All that effort bent at balancing the weight of a cow's daily milk production with her daily manure production. Despite that, one irrefutable fact remains: The first and the only legitimate use for a cow's milk is to feed her calf.

The transformative supervision meetings, labs, professional training and departmental research seminars are all conducive to a thriving linguistics training. I am exposed to cutting-edge training and research. This inspiring environment allows me to conduct world-leading research in bilingualism.
Linguistics and English Language at Edinburgh is the pre-eminent department for the study of both Linguistics and English Language in the UK, having ranked top in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise.
We have an outstanding international reputation in many areas of Linguistics & English Language research. We can offer expert supervision across a wide range of topics, including:
- developmental linguistics, including first and second language acquisition
- discourse Analysis
- historical English Linguistics, including the syntax, morphology, and phonology from the earliest periods to the present day
- language evolution
- linguistic fieldwork
- morphology, including word formation
- phonetics and phonology, including diachronic phonology and the phonology of varieties of English and their history
- Scots
- sociolinguistics
- speech technology
- syntax and semantics, including theoretical syntax, descriptive syntax of English, diachronic syntax and both lexical and formal semantics
- various theoretical approaches to the study of language.
The School has expertise in all areas of Linguistics and English Language work, represented by a number of research groups:

We're delighted to announce that we will be registration sponsors at the 15th PCI London event on 5th July 2017. Held at Park Plaza Victoria in Westminster – this is the second PCI London event of the year, following on from the success of January's gathering.
In addition to our role as sponsors, Channel Sales Director David Swift and Head of Sales EMEA Tony Smith will be joining the line-up of expert speakers, sharing industry insight with the extensive delegate list.
The UK's leading PCI conference
At PCI Pal we are no strangers to PCI London, having attended throughout recent years. Discussion around the latest trends and topical debates on factors impacting contact center compliance are sure to be at the forefront. Bringing together contact center managers, data architects, IT directors and a vast array of other data security-focused professionals, the event includes more than 15 different seminars and presentations from experts on PCI compliance, data security and payment technology.
Our presentations will cover two of the hot topics in the contact center space at the moment, multi-channel compliance and maintaining customer experience levels.
David's presentation is titled 'Meet the challenge of global PCI compliance in today's multi-channel world' and is filled with tips on overcoming some of the common challenges faced by contact centers as they embrace digital customer communications. In addition, he will cover:
- Preparation for the forthcoming impact of GDPR
- Myths around global PCI compliance
- Looking beyond just secure telephony
Tony's presentation is the perfect accompaniment, looking beyond the regulations to understand the impact of compliance on the end customer's overall experience. Discussing the notion that CX and compliance shouldn't be mutually exclusive, he will talk through:
- Covering compliance in your customer experience strategy
- Building the business case for PCI compliance
- Avoiding the real cost of a data breach
If you are planning on attending, then let us know, as it would be great to see you there! We'll be showcasing our range of secure payment solutions and are always keen to talk compliance. If you're yet to secure a ticket – you can still register online here.

Manual CPU Overclocking:
To test the MSI Z370 Gaming Pro Carbon AC motherboard's CPU overclocking potential, we set the CPU VCore no higher than 1.3V and push for the highest stable clock speed. We maintain the DRAM frequency at 3200MHz to take memory stability out of the overclocking equation. Once the highest clock speed for 1.3V is achieved we see if there is potential to roll back on the voltage while maintaining system stability.
CPU overclocking results are impressive for the Coffee Lake CPUs on Intel's Z370 platform, 5 GHz is fairly easy to achieve with a good liquid AIO cooler like the H100i V2 on our test bench. For the purposes of making the results useful and realistic we decided to limit the voltage to something considered safe for normal 24/7 operation – 1.3 volts.
With that voltage limit in mind we pushed as far as we could and found that the system would boot into the desktop at 5.2GHz with 1.3 volts but was not stable under sustained load. At 5.1GHz it was fully stable though we found we could back off to 1.275 volts and it was still stable. Further backing off to 1.25 volts lead to instability so we settled on 5.1 GHz (51 x 100) on the i5 8600K with 1.275 volts, core voltage override mode and Auto Load Line Calibration.
Overclocked Performance
Overclocked performance is impressive with a 15 per cent boost to overall performance with a safe 24/7 voltage. This i5 8600K has 0.8GHz per core additional headroom even after being used at its maximum Turbo frequency (4.3GHz) for "stock" benchmarking.
We leave the system to idle on the Windows 10 desktop for 5 minutes before taking a reading. For CPU load results we run AIDA64 CPU, FPU, Cache and Memory stress tests and take a reading after 5 minutes. The power consumption of our entire test system (at the wall) is shown in the chart.
Power consumption in terms of idle and load varies insignificantly between motherboards which suggests both are equivalently kitted out in terms of additional controllers, the efficiency of the VRM solutions and configuration of auto-voltage regulation. There's also a strikingly similar level of power consumption between Z370 with an i5 8600K and Z270 and an i7 7700K.

Ten years separate the two adjacent CDs in the EMI box of the complete recordings that cellist Mstislav Rostropovich made with them (which, incidentally, happen to include the recordings of his performances in the Soviet Union that he brought with him when he emigrated). CD5 includes the 1969 recording of the A minor double concerto by Johannes Brahms (Opus 102), with David Oistrakh on violin and George Szell conducting the Cleveland Orchestra; and CD6 offers the same concerto recorded in 1979 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, with Bernard Haitink conducting the Concertgebouw Orchestra and Itzhak Perlman on violin. There is a tendency to look back on Szell as austere, bordering on the sterile, providing readings known more for clinical accuracy than for more subjective elements of expression. However, it is hard to imagine either Oistrakh or Rostropovich being "merely clinical." Consequently, this is an instance in which the two soloists take the lead; and Szell dutifully escorts the orchestra in the directions they set. This is in sharp contrast to the later recording, on which it seems as if Perlman is the one so concerned with "accuracy" that there is almost a lassitude to his reading; so all the energy that drives this composition forward resides in the chemistry between Haitink and Rostropovich. Fortunately, that chemistry is very effective; but its effectiveness casts a less than complimentary light on Perlman's skills as a soloist. I have to say, however, that, on the basis of the few "live" performances I have heard by Perlman, I have been struck by how few opportunities I have had to really appreciate those skills. To the contrary, there have been too many occasions when he sounded as if his mind was already on his next engagement, if not on catching the plane that would take him to that engagement.
Thus, what is missing from the 1979 recording is that sense of performance in the immediacy of the moment. (If I may shamelessly appropriate from Bhagavan Das, born Kermit Michael Riggs, I would call this the "be here now" approach to performance.) One reason why that sense may be more pronounced in the 1969 recording is that it is, in many respects, a "document of a conversation" taking place between Oistrakh and Rostropovich, where Szell and his orchestra are basically providing what Kenneth Burke would call the "scene" of that conversation. There is a similar sense of conversation in the recording made by Jascha Heifetz and Gregor Piatigorsky in 1960 with Alfred Wallenstein conducting the "pickup" RCA Victor Symphony Orchestra. In both cases the conversation is facilitated by the soloists sharing a broad cultural context in which Brahms' "text" enables them to talk about many things, while it may very well have been the case that Perlman and Rostropovich just did not have that much to say to each other.
While both Rostropovich recordings were probably made under "studio" conditions, they were just as probably both post hoc documents of concert performances. The 1969 recording was made in Cleveland's Severance Hall at a time when Rostropovich was still a Soviet citizen. It is hard to imagine the Soviet government to allow both him and Oistrakh to travel to the United States solely for the purpose of making a recording. The presence of these two Russians must have made for a major "event concert" in Cleveland, possibly one of those gala events aimed more at generous patrons than at music lovers. Similarly, by 1979 even well-endowed institutions like the Concertgebouw had to worry about fund-raising; so this later recording may well also be a document of an "all-star event." Nevertheless, given the circumstances of the concerts, we have some grounds for assuming that both recording sessions were approached in the spirit of recreating the actual concert experience that had preceded those sessions; and EMI has an excellent track record when it comes to capturing that kind of spirit. Thus, if my argument is based more on the circumstances of a concert performance rather than those of a recording, it is because I am willing to acknowledge a level of fidelity to those performances in EMI recording operations. That being the case, I would say that Rostropovich's memory has been better served by the earlier of these two recordings.

After days of drizzle, rain, clouds, and more rain, the sun has come out. It is warm and breezy. The sky is a brilliant blue. And, wonder of wonders, some of the trees in town have decided, overnight, that fall color is a Good Thing. It felt very good just to like back in the still-green grass and enjoy the spectacle. Until I got all squinty.
There really is everything from deepest maroon to a brilliant yellow. I approve. Sigyn, of course, likes the red leaves best, while I prefer the contrast of the ones that still have a bit of green on them.
Sadly, after all the rain, they are not crisp enough to jump in enjoyably. Still, they can be amusing. Come, Sigyn, let us haul them all inside and scatter them all over the carpet so that the humans and the cat can enjoy them.

From Journal of Marketing
Calorie information seems to be everywhere, and yet there is still much to learn about how it affects consumption. This article offers a more complete understanding of how provision of calories-per-serving information on a food package label affects consumption amounts. This research is timely because of increasing public policy and food manufacturer interest in the effects of prominent presentation of nutrition information on packaged foods (e.g., front-of-package labels) and because the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is mandating increases in the typically small stated serving sizes for many packaged foods, which would increase the calorie levels on the nutrition label.
Across five studies, researchers find that calories-per-serving information, particularly information that is below expectations, creates a backfire effect entailing increased consumption of an unhealthy snack. To conclude the authors offer managerial, policy, and consumer welfare implications, including proposing and testing larger stated serving sizes as an intervention.
This research investigates how provision of calories-per-serving information on serving size labels affects snack consumption quantity. Drawing from expectancy-disconfirmation theory, this research shows that providing calories-per-serving information can ironically create a consumption backfire effect (consumers eat more when presented with calories-per-serving information) for snacks perceived as unhealthy but not for snacks perceived as healthy. The authors find that this effect arises when calorie expectations are higher than the posted calories-per-serving level—a frequent occurrence due to stated serving sizes that are typically smaller than amounts consumed in one sitting. The authors also show that attention to calorie information plays a key role such that the backfire effect occurs among consumers who pay more attention to calorie information. Furthermore, motivational factors including individual differences and perceptions of the risk associated with consuming a snack also play a role in driving consumption differences. The authors offer managerial, policy, and consumer welfare implications, including proposing and testing larger stated serving sizes as an intervention.

Is it just me or has the gossip circle been sorta blah… Amy Winehouse is out of Rehab and living on an island. Jon & Kate & Adam Lambert all came out of the closet and Britney Spears is still trying to get attention by giving little peaks of her over-worked vagina. So lets do something new to spice things up ! If my partner in crime doesn't think its in too bad a taste, we will start having a "LADIES ONLY!" segment just to see what you all think. And if you aren't a lady, thats ok too. Here is the first one…
Now, he is wearing shorts, shoes and sunglasses so technically this isn't porn…. But does he just happen to be standing in front of that big thingie? Or is he happy to see me? I wonder…..
UPDATE: I origionally posted this just to see if people would be interested in my "LADIES ONLY" idea. I posted it at 4:30 a.m. and by 7:00 a.m. it was already the top post of the day! I guess that answers my question !!!

Hmmm… I think his muscles are too big. Makes me suspect steroid use which, as most of us know, causes other things to shrink. (I don't like huge muscles anyway.) I think the fire hose/machine (is that what it is??) is an attempt to lure Margie into his bedroom. You behave, Margie!!
Maybe I'm just biased because I have a new mad crush on someone else, namely Fareed Zakaria. Yeah, you've probably never heard of him, but he's very smart and very sexy in a dark, dangerous kind of way…

The Sri Lankan cricket team is set to embark on a tour of Zimbabwe in accordance with the FTP to play two tests, which will be succeeded by a tri-series including the West Indies.
The tour will commence in the first week of October and is expected to go on until the second week of November.
Sri Lanka, who are currently in England playing a three-match test series will then play a bilateral ODI series with Ireland and England before competing in a T20I, which will conclude their tour of England. A home series against Australia awaits them following the English tour and the tour of Zimbabwe will follow the Australian series.
Plans were afoot in 2013 by Zimbabwe Cricket to host Sri Lanka, but financial constraints forced the African nation to annul the tour. Sri Lanka is yet to face Zimbabwe in tests, who once rivalled Sri Lanka for the wooden spoon in test cricket, ever since their re-admission into cricket's top format.
Sri Lanka's last tour of Zimbabwe involved a triangular series including India, which the Sri Lankans managed to win. The islanders' last test match in Zimbabwe was played in 2004, which resulted in a whitewash for the home side.
Zimbabwe has improved their performance in leaps and bounds in recent times, and the last time these two teams met, in a warm-up game ahead of the 2015 World Cup, Zimbabwe registered a 7 wicket win. With the young Sri Lankan team struggling to engender satisfiable performance, the tour of Zimbabwe will provide an opportunity to the youngsters to perform well against a relatively weak yet a very competent side.

Airline All Star Break: How Are They Doing?
Airlines & Airports Josh Lew July 04, 2016
Photo courtesy of Thinkstock
Baseball's All Star Game is coming up. This is traditionally the time when teams take a step back from the daily Major League grind, assess their performance and make alterations for the second half of the season. Given the record-breaking 2015 and tumultuous first half of 2016, it could be time for airlines to take a similar break so that they can assess their performance and make changes.
If the air travel industry had a All Star Break, here is what commentators would say about 2016.
Failing when it comes to revenue
The airline industry as a whole has struggled with seat revenue numbers in 2016. Revenue numbers have not been able to keep up with expanding capacity. This has worried investors and caused airline stocks to fall even as carriers were announcing record profits for 2015. Last year's attacks in Paris and this year's tragedies in Brussels, Orlando and Istanbul have certainly not helped matters.
Airlines are making mid-year adjustments. Virtually every carrier has scaled back on its plans to expand capacity going forward. This has not had much of a short-term effect on revenue, but projections suggest that, by next year, fares will start rising as demand increases. The balance of supply and demand should, ideally, take care of the current revenue issues.
Employees back in executives' corner
The year began with some major disputes between airlines and their employees. CEOs of the Big Three have made it a point to try to improve employee relations. For American and United, both of which are lagging behind Delta in key areas, improving employee relations has been a key part of building themselves back up to a competitive level. Both Oscar Munoz and Doug Parker have tried to back up talk about better employee relations by negotiating contracts with their pilots, flight attendants and ground crews. Most of these deals included significant pay increases and profit sharing agreements.
What remains to be seen is whether these new contracts, which will add to operating costs, really lead to better performance for the airlines.

Putting a premium on premium class
Legacy carriers have started to focus on appeasing their highest paying customers. American Airlines has been adding and updating premium class lounges, while United recently announced a new business class cabin upgrade. These will, ideally, make these airlines more competitive in the business travel market on their longest and most lucrative routes.
The other thing that the Big Three are doing is segmenting their cabins. All three either already offer no-frills economy fares and premium economy fares or they are in the process of adding these options. This should help them appeal to an increased number of demographics and compete for a larger share in both the high-paying and especially-frugal markets.
Upgrades, including United's new Polaris business class, should take place by the end of this year.
A better in-flight experience
Airlines have taken baby steps to improve the in-flight experience. Earlier this year, both United and American started offering free snacks on domestic flights again. JetBlue began a major upgrade to its in-flight entertainment system, which offers some of the largest screens and best connectivity in the industry.
On international flights, airlines have begun to improve food quality, especially for fliers in premium class. Also, they are working with airport service companies to improve the in-terminal experience. Airport restaurant firm OTG has worked with all three airlines to improve the airport terminals in hub cities with things like iPad ordering systems, quality locally-produced food options and a more relaxed atmosphere. Fliers still have plenty to complain about when it comes to seat size and IFE systems that still lag behind those of international competitors, but, overall, things have improved for fliers recently.
In all, the industry seems to have plans to deal with some of the major problems that are plaguing it. This year might not be a "championship season," but major carriers seem to be on track to improve so that they can better compete in 2017 and beyond.

I know that for many recently graduated high school seniors right now, y'all probably have a lot to think about. College is coming up sooner than you can imagine, most people know where they're attending, but how many people know exactly what they want to do? More often than not, the answer is, not many. I had several friends who came to college bright-eyed, naive and with their major undeclared. My best advice for you is to avoid that trap and make a decision before the stress, fun, and independency of college. But how do you do that? Well by listening to me and doing your research of course! Here are my top 10 reasons you should choose Marketing as your major.
- It's a blank slate. Marketing is, in my opinion, the one business degree that allows for the most flexibility and diversity. With so many areas to specialize in you can really customize your degree to suit what interests you. The best way to figure out what that is, is through internships. Each marketing internship that I've had has been vastly different and I learned something uniquely valuable from each one of them. Whether it was showing me something I had a knack for, or showing me what I definitely don't, the experience was hands on and informative. You can even customize your degree with minors. If you prefer the creative side, add graphic design etc. the possibilities are endless.
- Median salary is $128,750! Of course, thats subject to your specialty and industry, but hey that's a pretty good place to start. Most freshmen don't fully consider WHERE they're degree is going to take them. So, I'm telling you now that marketing can take you where you want to and help you make a life for yourself when you get cut off the parental pay-roll.
- Marketing internships are easy to come by. As long as you're truly looking there are marketing internships everywhere. I've never had problems finding them, getting the internships is of course a whole other ordeal, but either way they're there. Additionally, when it comes to a marketing internship don't choose the easy one, or the one that pays JUST because it pays. The most important part is WHAT YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR. Resume's nowadays are as impressive as college applications. Everyone competing for these spots and each person with more experience than the last. Let's say you had 1 internship for 3 years or 5 internships during college, the numbers mean nothing. What really matters is what you were trusted to do and the experiences you learned. The difference is between answering the phones and being responsible for a project. Make sure your internship is worth while or you aren't doing yourself any favors.
- Marketing suits the millennial. Why? Because marketing is one of those business degrees that heavily relies on changes in industry, technology, and grows with society. Marketeers constantly have to evolve to suit their audience. Let's say your audience is a 21 year old college senior at The University of Tampa that lives within 5 miles of campus. How can you best reach that audience? Snapchat! You have to stay updated with the trends of your audience and understand how to reach them in a way that is most "native" to them. What does that mean? Basically, market/advertise to them in a way that seems natural, almost so that they won't even notice. With the amount of ads we are subjected to a day we often overstimulate our audience, native advertising allows your to be a bit more sly and keep your brand name in the back of their mind. This is a millennial's dream because we can get paid simply for our overuse and extensive knowledge of social media. I mean that's the dream. Or at least my dream.
- Having a Masters/MBA is preferable. I know most people will read that and think I'm crazy. Most think that once their undergrad degree is done, so are they. BUT, as a second semester senior on the cusp of graduating, I can tell you one thing, I'm not quite ready for the real world. It has nothing to do with a lack of maturity or the desire to stay in the absent minded "college mode". In reality I still feel there's so much I want to learn before I can be considered qualified in my specialty. For me, I know I love social media and content marketing. That's where I want to be. But, do I know enough about that specialty to get the job I want? To get paid the "big bucks"? To be as successful as I want to be? To achieve my goals? No, not yet. I think of my soon-to-be masters as a way to fine tune my skills. AND if you love college, hey, here's a few more years!
Trust me, you won't regret getting a marketing degree. Maybe I'm biased, or maybe I'm knowledgeable enough to lay out the facts and prove my point. I'm hoping it's the last one. Either way I love marketing (duh) and I love to see others seeing it's value!! I hope this helped some incoming fishies or my undeclared friends.
So long Marketeers!

Re: How are Trending people selected and sorted ? What rules is the algorithm based on ?jeph.yang Sep 22, 2015 10:12 AM (in response to clairelesage)1 person found this helpful
Hi Claire,
The trending people and content widgets use the Jive Recommender (Jive Genius) service, which is outlined in the documentation below (taken from Jive 8 documentation, but the same applies for Jive Cloud as well):
What is the Jive Genius Recommender Service?
The Recommender Service is an engine that collects and analyzes user activity in the community to recommend useful content, people, and places to individual users, and reports trending content and people. The Recommender looks at business relationships, user expertise, and areas of interest based on a user's behavior in the community to suggest relevant content that Jive knows a user has not yet seen. The more users interact on the community, the better their results will become in the Recommended for You widget. When you enable the Recommender Service, all of the following features will be present in your community. Note that you cannot choose for some of these features to be visible, but not others.
- Recommended for You widget
- Trending Content widget
- Trending People widget
- Your Trending and Popular Content results listed on the Activity tab of a user's profile
The Recommender Service obeys all content permissions and will not recommend content that a user doesn't have permission to view. Therefore, users may not see the same Trending Content or Trending People, depending on their content viewing permissions, when they logged in, and when the last Recommender content poll occurred. Recommended for You is dynamic. Its recommendations change based on a user's shifting interests and affinities. TheRecommender will even respond to changes in the org chart.
To understand the architecture of the Recommender Service and its relationship to the Activity Engine, refer to the drawing in What is the Activity Engine?
https://docs.jivesoftware.com/8.0_on_prem_int/sys_admin/jive.help.core/admin/WhatIstheActivityEngine.html#what_is_the_activity_engineTrending Content and Trending People
The Recommender analyzes content and people over a period of time and uses that data to display the Trending People and Trending Content in the system. The Recommender counts the things users do (create content, follow people, join groups, etc.) and, importantly, how users interact with each other's contributions. For example, users liking another user's content, marking answers helpful or correct, and viewing content all count toward the trending status of a user or a piece of content. The Recommender weights the various counts in its equations, and then creates a list of users and content with the highest trending counts over a given time period. Trending People recognizes and rewards users who are a positive influence on the community.
These widgets are updated every 15 minutes and display 10 entries by default. These settings are not configurable.
Trending Content and Trending People are based on global algorithms; they are not user-specific. However, users may not see the same trending people or content based on their viewing permissions. For example, if a user does not have permission to see trending content items 1-10, they will instead see items 11-20 if they have the correct viewing permissions for those items. The Trending People will often be the same for all community users, but it can be different depending on when users logged in and when the last Recommender content poll occurred. In addition, a person may be trending because of something they are doing in a secret group. In that case, you would not be able to see why the person is trending by looking at their recent activity.
The number of Likes displayed on a discussion listed in Trending Content is the total number of Likes on that discussion plus the total number of Likes of all the replies to the discussion.
SOURCE: https://docs.jivesoftware.com/8.0_on_prem_int/sys_admin/jive.help.core/#admin/WhatIsJiveGenius.html
If you're seeing specific bugs around disabled users, I would recommend submitting a support case in your Jive Community customer group for targeted troubleshooting. If you're not familiar with this process, please check with your community manager.
Let me know if you had any other questions on this topic.

I run art workshops at school residentials. The art activities can be linked to artists or specific topics. Children are given the opportunity to work with different materials and cover key art skills such as drawing, painting, collage and 3D work. The finished work is then put up on display in the school accompanied by photographs and explanations.
I provide the pots, brushes and aprons.
Art workshops cost:
Full day:£300 or Half a day £150
Art resources are not included in these prices.
Half Day Residential Art Workshop at Tattenhall.
The Year 4 and 5 children created 3D masks. They decorated them with African patterns and bold colours. The finished artwork
was then displayed in their school classroom.
Whole Day Residential Art Workshop at Tattenhall.
The Year 4 children created totem pole faces from cardboard then decoratd them with acrylic paint. They also produced drawings of totem poles and applied oil pastels and brusho to create colour. Their finished artwork was then displayed in their school corridor.
Wynne spent a day with us on our Year 4 residential, the children had a wonderful day and they all produced final poeces they were very proud of. Wynne is very creative and imaginative artist who has a great manner with the children. The preparation she had put in before arriving at Tattenhall was evident through the wide array of resources and templates that had been prepared as a result of this time and effort the day ran smoothly and all the children achieved the desired outcome. Wynne then collected the finished pieces of work and came into school to produce the most bright and colourful display which shows off the children's work beautifully. I have already booked her for next year.

What are the reasons you are looking to improve your football skills? Would you like to play better with friends and family at home? Do you want to be a good player in your school's team? Whatever your reasons are, take everything that you learned from this article.
Always play safely. No matter if you are playing the game, practicing, in the gym for a workout or driving to get there, take precautions to stay safe. Use your equipment right and keep your helmet on your head.
Does your kicker know the proper placement of the plant foot? The plant foot must be placed alongside the football. It should not be ahead of it or behind it. When the ball is kicked, the show must be parallel to the field. Practice often to perfect kicking technique.
Make sure you work on your mental game as much as your physical game when preparing for football. Although keeping in shape and practicing the drills is tough for anybody, the psychological aspects of football are what trips most players up on the field. Make sure you're as tough mentally as you are physically.
A great way to keep yourself in top form for playing football is to run at least 3 miles a day. This is an excellent exercise for your cardiovascular system. When you are near the end of your run, find a hill to run up and down before finishing. This will help increase your strength and play at your best longer.
If you receive the ball, run at a diagonal angle until you have open field in front of you. Then, power down the line as fast as you can. By being always alert during the play, you can find the best openings and gain extra yardage on each game.
Try to focus some of your exercises on increasing speed. Do jumping squats to increase the speed of your reflex muscles. Squat down and jump on a step. Stand straight up and then drop back down and into a squat. Repeat this exercise 40 times daily and gradually increase the height of the action.
Don't panic! Football can be a little scary when you first try it. People are rushing at you, and quite often they're bigger than you too. It's not a comfortable feeling. But with practice, you'll learn how to be more agile and avoid tackles. You'll learn how to fake-out those rushing at you. It all becomes much more comfortable. So stay calm and learn all that you can.
Play the position that works to your personal strengths. If you reliable, fast and good at catching a football thrown from different angles, play safety or wide receiver. If your body is bulky and you have a lot of strength, play defensive or offensive tackle. If your good at kicking the ball with accuracy, you may be the perfect field goal kicker or punter.
If your main goal is football is to be fast, realize that speed is only acquired by those with strong core muscles. All the movements techniques in the world will not help you if your body is not conditioned by proper weight training. Focus on the basics, including quads, glutes and hamstrings.
If you are running with the football, cradle it close to your body. Players on the other team will try to strip the football away from you to force a fumble. If the ball is away from your body, it is much easier for the opposing team to make a play on the ball.
When you apply to colleges, provide some highlights of your play via DVD. Make sure you use to different places that are at the level you wish to play at. If you can get multiple acceptance letters, you'll be able to choose the best school.
In order to help your knowledge about football you should study the different teams, the conferences and the divisions they play. This helps you follow the sport better so you know if your organization has a shot at the playoffs. If you don't understand how the divisions are made, you will never how well your team is doing in relation to the others.
There will be times that opposing teams play rough or target you. If you think that they are deliberately trying to cause you physical harm, tell your coach. Do not retaliate on the field. It could lead to injuries, create your team penalties and possibly get you thrown out of the game.
Prepare your body for the game year round. Even during the off season, you should be paying close attention to your diet and exercise routine. Football is a very physical sport and if you are not in good physical condition, you increase the chance that you will get injured during play.
You have been able to read this article and have learned from it. The ideas presented here are good ones, so don't waste this knowledge. Use this info when you are on the field to become a star player.

Senate Republicans Doubt Prospects For 'Grand Bargain'
Meanwhile, USA Today reports on five ways that congressional budgeters could trim Medicare.
Politico: Larger Deal May Elude Deficit Panel
A month into the super committee's term, Senate Republicans are telling K Street that they don't believe the powerful deficit-cutting panel can reach a "grand bargain" agreement, sources familiar with the negotiations say. But the only way that a grand bargain could pass muster with the GOP, the Senate Republican aides say, is if it were tied to an overhaul of Social Security or the controversial proposal by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to turn Medicare into a voucher-based system for future recipients. And neither plan could pass this Congress, they believe (Raju and Bresnahan, 10/2).
USA Today: Five Ways To Squeeze Medicare
Nearly 50 million people on Medicare, as well as those entering the program at a pace of one every eight seconds, are likely to get more than their money's worth before they die. The same can't be said for anyone under 55 who will rely on the federal health care program for those 65 and older in the future. They face higher costs and, possibly, longer waits before they qualify for coverage. Medicare — one of the most popular programs ever devised by the federal government — is on the chopping block. Again (Wolf, 10/3).

Perhaps the best place to really start with XPE QFE's is to go over, as best I can, the QFE process from my point of view.
Most QFE's don't start with the Embedded team - they start with the Windows team. There are exceptions, but for the purpose of argument, we'll assume every QFE published for XPE starts with bits patched for the Windows XP product. I routinely author security builletins, available through the MSDN Security Bulletins page and Windows Update.
QFE packages for the desktop contain two very important things - a set of patched files, and an INF file that direcs the live installation of those files. The INF also contains registry keys that are needed by the patch. This INF tells me which files need to be updated and which registry keys need to be added to an XPE runtime to implement the QFE.
From there, I go a'hunting - I find the components that own the updated files and registry keys. In some case, no component owns the registry keys - most QFE's come with a set of tracking registry keys which need to be added to the runtime. Once I've identified the components, I find the original SLD files we used to build the database and update them.
The updating process is fairly straight-forward, but a little confusing. First, the components have certain metadata changes made to help us ID the new component as a QFE, like the name, version, revision, and additional extended properties. The repository is also changed to point to the SP1 QFE repository found in Q811279. A new package for the QFE components is created in Component Designer to give us a quick way to remove the QFE later.
Once that's done, I rename all the patched files, prefixing them with the QFE number. This is to avoid any file name collisions with the older, unpatched files already in the SP1 repository. Then I change the Source Name property of the file resources representing the patched files to reference the new name.
The new registry keys are somewhat tougher - if there is more than one component being affected by updated files, I need to pick one component to hold the new keys. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes not, but it always gets done. Updated registry keys are much easier - just change the keys in the owning component.
With all that done, it's time to package everything up into an installation package. We developed an installer for XPE QFE's that automagically imports all the components and copies the files into the SP! QFE repository. It's driven by it's own INF file, which needs to be written. The the whole thing gets tested twice - once by me, and once by our stellar Test team. We also loop in the testers for the feature being updated to help us make sure the functionality works as expected on our runtimes.
Once everything is fully tested and has everyone's OK, I digitall sign the executable package and publish it to the Microsoft Download Center. Once it's published, I send that info to our web masters for inclusion on the Microsoft Embedded web site.
That's about it - pretty dry, but necessary for a complete understanding of why it takes a while for QFE's to get out to you. I need to start with a complete QFE package for the desktop, go through some reauthoring and a lot of testing, then the publishing process which requires more verification along the way. Throw in some cross-group cooperation with other test teams, many of whom I've never met before and may not know anything about XPE, and mix in some hot QFE's that need to be done immediately that throw the whole schedule off, and you can see the difficulties.
Next time, I'll tell you what kind of stress of worm writer can induce....

WHAT IS Fine Paper
Fine paper is a type of commercial paper. Commercial paper are securities issued by companies to raise money for specific projects, in exchange for a short-term investment.
BREAKING DOWN Fine Paper
Fine paper is commercial paper issued by blue-chip companies. Commercial paper is a type of investment offered by companies, not banks or governments. Commercial paper is similar to a bond in that it is issued for a specific amount of time at a specific rate, but it is issued by a company to raise money for some specific purpose instead of by a bank or financial institution or by the U.S. Treasury or a municipality. Commercial paper is an unsecured investment, because each issue is not backed by anything. If the issuing company defaults, there is nothing the investor can claim as compensation. Other characteristics of commercial paper are that it is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), it does not need to be reported to the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC), it has short durations until the loan is mature and the returns are usually much lower than are available for other types of investments.
Blue-chip companies are large, have usually been in existence for decades and are viewed as being solid and traditional. This means that there is little risk that the established companies will default on the loan issues, so fine paper is an extremely safe investment. The only safer investment is government-issued fixed-income securities, so fine paper usually trades at a very small spread over these securities.
Investors would choose fine paper to invest in because it is a good, safe place to put money for a short duration of time, typically less than a year, with little risk and no need to report to the SEC.
Fine Paper in the Crash of 2008
When global economic markets crashed in 2008, one of the most serious effects was a credit crunch, in which banks and financial institutions were afraid and unable to lend money. This cascaded into the commercial paper market, because as unsecured investments, commercial paper was suddenly seen as significantly riskier than it had ever been. Fine paper, too, was seen as too risky for investors to justify. Despite the fact that the companies issuing fine paper were blue-chip companies, the public and investors were aware that financial companies that had been seen as "too big to fail" had been on the verge of collapse before the government bailout, so size didn't seem to guarantee protection anymore The credit crunch delayed recovery from the crash, but eventually lenders began lending again and investors were able to invest in unbacked securities, and the commercial paper market recovered.
