Curiosity is a result of a question asked within, either rhetorical or circumstantial, an inquisitive mind is a curious mind and with every answer sought your curiosity grows. Your curiosity journey is prompted by WHY, the aptitude to confront the status quo, the confidence to be different, the eagerness to know and the passion to conquer. These are the virtues of an entrepreneur derived from their characteristics to create opportunities through asking why. An entrepreneur refuses to accept that this is it, there has to be another way and they pursue to find it. You can never be curious and not ask why; otherwise your curiosity does not have a basis or a point of reference.
Great entrepreneurs are non-exhaustive. They have a bigger picture in mind and look at a situation with perspective. They set their minds in the bigger scheme of things allowing them to always be two steps ahead and vigilant to opportunities. You can look at an entrepreneur as a nosy rat, when a rat raids a space it leaves no stone unturned and it does so swiftly.
Failure to be curious as an entrepreneur may expose you to the risk of missing out on an important factor that will make or break the business in question. This might appear as being paranoid but a healthy level of suspicion or scepticism is important for an entrepreneur.
An inquisitive attitude makes entrepreneurs very diligent and they exercise due care for every transaction or deal. This allows them to be critical and conclusive with better understanding from an informed point of view. This follows with real life situations, when one faces a problem you are better able to solve the problem if you investigate the source of the problem. Asking why makes an entrepreneur a very good negotiator and allows them to get the best deal to capture the best value for their money. Don't always accept things on face value, you might miss out important elements of the crux of the matter. Let's look at the virtues of an entrepreneur in depth:
The aptitude to challenge the status quo
The high level of entrepreneurship is not to find or identify opportunities but to create opportunities. To be able to create opportunities requires you to always investigate the world around you and not to accept things for what they are. This is not a common virtue as it requires one to have the guts to challenge the system or an accepted way of life. These kinds of people are often misunderstood and potentially can be dismissed as they are seemingly abnormal in the eyes of other people. The history of the invention of a computer is one interesting example; in 1977, Ken Olson the founder of Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) was quoted as saying, "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home." Years earlier in 1943, Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, stated "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers". This was because computers back then where enormous in size weighing approximately 30 tons. Back then it would have been a laughing joke to even imagine that one day we would have laptops let alone smart phones that fit in one's pocket. It took a lot of guts to challenge this status quo.
Challenging the status quo does not always make sense to everybody but it makes perfect sense to you, you are seemingly the only audience to your excursion. Often we get excited when an idea gets the attention of many, however you need to have the aptitude to still be excited and having energy and passion to pursue an idea that is unpopular. There are many great ideas that have changed the world but also there are few ideas that were not given an opportunity because of their unpopularity. Maybe you are sitting with one today, have the aptitude to challenge the status quo and pursue your dream, the only convincing you need is your own.

Author's articles (3)
#3 / 2016 Category: SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTIn the article, the main theoretical questions of the organizational capital of the enterprise are considered. The concept of «organizational capital of the enterprise» as a system consisting of three subsystems (organization of production, labour organization and management) is introduced. It is shown that the organizational capital forms the labour relations system at the enterprise consisting of the cooperation, technological, economic, moral labour relations and the relations of workers' responsibility. The model of cyclic evolution of crisis at the enterprise caused by shortcomings of the organizational capital is revealed. It is shown that the organizational capital is a basis for the realization of the human capital, which creates value added. A considerable attention is paid to the experience of the creation and functioning of the organizational capital at the enterprises of the Japanese corporation «Toyota». The Russian economic literature on crisis management quite often considers only the financial aspects of diagnostics, proposing the optimization of cash flows, elimination of excess stocks, transition to the medium-term budgeting and others. However, the deep reasons of crisis need to be found not only in financial streams, but also in the system of the work relationships. The shortcomings in the development of technological, cooperation, economic, moral labour relations and the relations of responsibility directly reflects the shortcomings in the development of the elements of the organizational capital as they «are adjusted» by these elements. In turn, organizational problems affect the product quality leading to the customer attrition and decrease in the enterprise's financial performance. The lack of financial resources cause the need to save costs (first of all, on personnel, that was brightly shown by the economic crisis of 2009) that even more weakens the enterprise and system of labour relations. Finally, the enterprise loses its main resource, which is the personnel with necessary level of knowledge and skills.
#1 / 2018 Category: SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTMost of the principles related to top managers work incentives were inherited from the planned economy that produces demotivation and opportunistic behaviour. Remuneration is a commercial secret and shall not be disclosed. The system of top managers' stimulation is unbalanced and does not motivate them to achieve medium- and long-term goals of the company. The study pays great attention to the development of managers' stimulation policies, the transparency of remuneration, correlation between pay and performance. We provide practical examples of foreign and national experience, showing the ability to ensure the transparency of remuneration of managers, and the relation between compensation and performance. These examples show that managers' remuneration amount does not always correspond to the efficiency of enterprises and return on capital. To solve these problems, we offer to develop philosophy and policy for the stimulation of managers in enterprises. It will allow to find a balance between the interests of shareholders and managers. Furthermore, this philosophy will have a positive impact on the competitiveness of enterprises in a region. The policy of stimulating managers should include certain key areas. Firstly, it should ensure the competitiveness of managers' remuneration. Secondly, it implies studying the motives of managers' work and the integration of these motives in the development of incentive system for the managers. Thirdly, it should include an optimal combination of elements to stimulate labour: base salary, material and social remuneration, short and long-term remuneration, etc. And last, it should consider the indicators and norms of enterprise's effectiveness as well as the assessment of working results of managers. The results of this research can be used for further study of the stimulation of managers' work in Russian companies. They can also be used in practice for the analysis of labour incentives of managers and their impact on the development of enterprises.
#4 / 2018 Category: SOCIO-DEMOGRAPHIC POTENTIAL OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTInnovative Activity of Business Managers as a Condition for Modernization of Regional Labour PotentialThe article discusses the problems of the innovative activity of managers in Russian enterprises as one of the conditions for the development of the labour potential of a region. The paper shows the main reasons for the low innovative activity of Russian enterprises. The systems of labour relations that have developed, as a rule, generate labour and innovative passivity as well as the opportunistic behaviour of managers. Most Russian enterprises lack incentive schemes for managers' innovative activity. We propose a systematic approach to stimulating the innovative activity of managers, relying on the authors' experience of researching the innovative activity of managers in a number of enterprises. The authors' system «Innovation», which is a Russian version of the Japanese lean manufacturing system, stimulates the innovative activity of personnel. Implementing this system in the enterprises of the Ural Federal District has convincingly shown that in modern conditions, a radical increase in the innovative activity of business managers is possible. It, therefore, stimulates the development of regional labour potential. Our hypothesis is that a high innovative activity of managers in Russian enterprises is possible by developing and implementing a two-sided incentive system for stimulating managers' innovative activity. Such a system should provide not only incentives for innovative activity but also managers' responsibility for their innovative passivity. We suggest a system of concepts of the innovative activity of personnel, which is necessary when organizing work to stimulate the innovative activity of enterprise managers. For the first time in the theory of incentives for staff and practical activities of enterprises, we propose to introduce a semi-annual assessment of the innovative activity of managers. The assessment of managers' innovative activity is an instrument for incentives for an enterprise. Moreover, for managers, it becomes one of the motivational factors for the manifestation of innovation activity. The research results were applied in the development of the System of Innovative Activity of Managers in OAO Uralelectromed and OAO Shadrinsky Auto Aggregate Plant. The results of the research can be applied in industrial enterprises of different legal status and forms of ownership.

Notes Edit
- Stealth will only be granted if the second hit of the attack successfully strikes an enemy. Stealth will be granted even if the second hit is blocked, as long as it makes contact. If it misses, or if the first hit eliminates the targeted enemy (thus resulting in nothing to target with the second hit), or if it is used in error, the ability will immediately into cooldown without granting Stealth, which can leave the rogue exposed
- The stealth effect granted from this upgrade does not have a built-in expiration like Stealth. Therefore, if no action is taken, this stealth effect can be kept up for as long as the player desires

|I like my cover better than the one GoodReads assigned
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I've never read any Eliot before and reading this does not dissuade me from reading more. I loved this.
I didn't get most or all of it, I'm sure, but the parts I did comprehend are good and true and beautiful.
All men seek peace. We seek peace wrongly, we seek wrong peace, we misunderstand the peace that is given in Christ. Eliot shows us glimpses of this as he looks at peace - temporal and eternal - through temptation and death. The hinge of Becket's Christmas Day sermon shows us this.
The first half - with the chorus awaiting his return after seven long years - reminds us that life is both static and dynamic. The seasons change and go on and work continues in its repetition. But going back for repetition of situation is not possible. The chorus is waiting for Becket almost as we wait for Jesus to return; almost, but not quite. I think we're supposed to consider that, though. Waiting is not the peace that is left for us.
The temptations are sent to destroy Becket's peace, even as Jesus was tempted in the desert. If the test fails - particularly the last tests - both would fail in the work they've been given. Becket's temptations - memory and nostalgia of a good life; secular power over the church; ecclesiastical power over the state; and the final, most spiritual battle with himself, when being humble is the highest virtue how does one avoid humility for gain?
You only offer
Dreams to damnation
Now is my way clear, now is the meaning plain:
Temptation shall not come in this kinda gain
The last temptation is the greatest treason:
To do the right deed for the wrong reason.
To become servant of God was never my wish.
Servant of God has chance of greater sin
And sorrow, than the man who serves a king.
For those who serve the greater cause may make the cause serve them,
Becket defeats the temptation, not in the same way as Christ who used scripture against his tempter, but through reason. And so he can preach,
A martyrdom is always the design of God, for His love of men, to warn them and to lead them, to bring them back to His ways. It is never the design of man: for the true martyr is he who has become the instrument of God, who has lost his will in the will of God, and who no longer desires anything for himself, not even the glory of being a martyr.
And then the knights arrive.
The second part goes quickly. It's action and violence, accusation and pulling away. Becket stands open to what is in store for him, refusing even to bar the church closed. His priests are afraid for him - pulling, hurrying, pleading, attempting to protect. They're rushing him from here to there to avoid the fate he's expecting. If the chorus was waiting for his return, he is expecting the events. What is the difference here between waiting and expectation? And which gives us peace? Which fear?
Thomas: Peace! be quiet! remember where you are, and what is happening;
No life here is sought for but mine,
And I am not in danger: only near to death.
Emphasis mine.
Becket is at peace because he is expecting the events to unfold as they do. He knows that the church stands not as the world does and that Christ's peace is not as the world gives. He demands the doors unbarred. He demands,
You think me reckless, desperate and mad.
You argue by results, as this world does,
To settle if an act be good or bad.
You defer to the fact. For every life and every act
Consequence of good and evil can be shown.
He knows that
Not to fight with beasts as men. We have fought the beast
And have conquered. We have only to conquer
Now, by suffering. This is the easier victory.
Now is the triumph of the Cross, now
Open the door! I command it. OPEN THE DOOR!
The knights kill him. The chorus grieves.
Then they return to their work, because time marches on and there's nothing they can do.
The knights return to try to excuse their complicity - with arguments of honour; loyalty and duty ("only following orders"); reason and law; and, finally, victim blaming. They leave with warnings of possible riots and the dire consequences thereof. They have not brought peace.
The priests return. They don't really understand, either. One waits for the potential consequence of atheism in the country. Another is not so fearful, but is certainly cynical about martyrdom and its cost. They have no peace.
Eliot weaves many themes - waiting and expectation, peace and fear, and the march of time together to create a whole. Eliot's time moves ever forward. It is inexorable. How will we use it? Will we, like the chorus wait, endlessly striving at vain work in fear? Or will we work in peace with expectation toward the Kingdom coming? What will tempt us away from patient expectation? Who will attack? Are we seeking peace, peace where there is no peace? or are we receiving from the Prince of Peace the peace that only He can give?

Palden Gyatso - an icon of resilience
March 20, 2009
Ugyen Choephell
March 19, 2009
When I heard that Palden Gyatsos film Fire
Under the Snow was going to be shown in Bristol
this March 15th, I began to make plans to build
upon the event. What started out as a simple
welcome for Palden from Bristols Tibetan
community ended up as an impassioned debate
between political prisoner, local politician and concerned constituents.
The week Palden came to Bristol coincided with
the week of the mass lobby of UK parliament, and
there the idea arose.. join the two and invite
our MPs to meet Palden Gyatso. So, along with
last minute preparations over questions and
points to raise at Westminster came the design of an invitation to deliver too.
Tues 10th March 2009, exactly 50 years on,
another small tibetan uprising began. We
travelled from Bristol to meet our MPs, Kerry
McCarthy (East Bristol) and Stephen Williams
(West Bristol) and raise the stakes for the
Tibetan cause. I especially wanted to ask my MP
about the Foreign Secretarys October statement
that tibet is part of china as I was really
unhappy with this statement and especially the
timing of it coming before the outcome of the
meeting of Tibetan exiles in dharamsala
discussing whether to continue with the middle
way approach or not. So I wanted answers and
after some debate she accepted to write to the Foreign Secretary to clarify.
Next day when we received confirmation from
Stephen Williams that he would be attending our
event the excitement was tangible. I immediately
rang around the rest of Tibetans and supporters
in Bristol to let them know about preparations
and to share out the tasks of momo making.
The day of the showing arrived, and anyone who
did not pre book their tickets were turned away
disappointed as the film had sold out two days
before the showing. I knew about Palden, having
read his book, but nothing could prepare me for
the man I met and his powerful film.
His film was incredibly moving yet inspiring,
portraying his life of extraordinary courage and
dignity, tracking his individual battle against
communist oppression and thought reform. A battle
Palden has won, albeit at great personal
suffering, emerging from 33 years of brutal
incarceration to remain steadfast to his
spiritual and political beliefs and who continues
to speak out on behalf of those inside Tibet who
have no voice. Afterwards the Q&A session proved
what a remarkable man Palden was, his insight so
remarkably sharp, his knowledge of the workings
of the world so acute and his charisma made
people really believe in him and the points he
raised. You could feel the support welling up inside the theatre.
Palden continues. "The Tibetan government in
exile are ready to compromise, they have offered
the Chinese a solution - genuine Tibetan autonomy
whilst remaining under Chinese nationhood, but
still the Chinese brush it aside. Why asks
Palden, Why? Why doesn't the Chinese government
accept this compromise, why would they not be
interested in living at peace? The only answer he
has is backed up by his own experiences - that
china wants to completely destroy all evidence of
a Tibetan people & culture - but isn't this
genocide? And if the Chinese do not want to work
and live alongside Tibetans as equals, then
Tibetans have no alternative but to go back to
calls for rangzen -- independence.
Heading off for the function afterwards were
Bristol Tibetans, their supporters, members of
tibet society UK who organised the film showing
and of course MP Stephen Williams. Palden was
delighted to be able to talk to Stephen and gave
a brief outline of his life story before
requesting Stephen to raise certain points to UK
Parliament. It was a wonderfully moving
experience, Palden democratically exercising the
right to free speech which contrasted so sharply
with the images wed just witnessed in his film
earlier about the relentless attempts by the Chinese to silence his views.
It was the first time I had met Palden, and I
have to say that I have seldom met such a
character whose incredible resilience reaches out
and whose sentences ignite such passion that I
felt like this is someone who really can change
the face of the Tibetan issue and I believe that
we must really cherish people like this because
Palden can and will have a profound effect on the
people he meets and in the words of one man at
the film premiere this film should be shown on
every channel every night til everyone takes notice

Runway ready
Threads Fashion Show showcases student designers
Clothing collections designed by students will come to life on the runway during the 19th annual Threads Fashion Show.
The student-run show is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. on April 22 in Finch Fieldhouse. Audience members will be able to view art pieces in the Mounted Expedition before models strut the runway. A moderated Q&A session with "Project Runway" co-host Tim Gunn will follow the show.
The event will showcase Central Michigan University's Fashion Merchandising and Design program's "ingenuity, skill and high esteem," said Carly Coleman, director of the show's logistics.
"This is a big event we put on to push how talented our program is, how hard our students work and how innovative a lot of their work is," said Coleman, an Ithaca senior.
General admission tickets cost $10 and VIP access tickets are $50. Tickets can be purchased through Ticket Central or directly from a member of the Threads production class, FMD 357A. The VIP access package offers priority seating in the first three rows and admittance to a VIP reception in the Powers Ballroom.
Threads Fashion Show is the second largest event on campus, said Threads' faculty adviser Ian Mull.
The cost of the show has also increased. Threads cost $16,000 in 2016. This year's production nearly doubled, costing $30,000.
Mull said he saw up to 80 percent increases on labor costs alone.
"I find it ironic that our students are paying tuition for this class, they are raising the funds for this show and (are) being charged the same as a group coming from outside of campus," Mull said.
University Events provides the production with technical equipment to put on the show in Finch Fieldhouse, but the class is responsible for labor fees.
The cost for student tech workers also went up from $14 to $17 an hour per employee.
"This has been a really big struggle in Threads given that we didn't anticipate this," Mull said, "The show may be cost prohibitive next year."
The College of Human Environmental Studies gives the production class a budget of $2,500. The budget is then brought up by ticket sales from previous shows, fundraising and the show's sponsors.
Threads' biggest sponsors are the Foster Swift Collins and Smith law firm and CMU Alumni Association.
Despite financial obstacles, students have continued to work vigorously since last May to put on the show. Student designers, models and event planners have combined strengths to present a fashion show of high acclaim.
Designers Prepare to See Their Ideas Come to Life
One of Thread's biggest goals is to provide an experience similar to a professional fashion show.
The production requires 500 hours of event service and will exhibit the craftsmanship of one of the country's twenty-five best fashion programs, Mull said.
"We try with this show to replicate it to be as similar to the industry (as possible)," he said.
Out of the 35 Fashion Merchandising and Design students who submitted apparel collections, 26 designers are featured in this year's show.
The elimination process took place on judging day, where designers were given 10 minute time slots to present their garments to five anonymous judges. Only models were allowed to be in the same room as the judges.
Designs that scored well during judging day will be recognized during the show. The top collections will earn cash prizes with money from the College of Education and Human Services.
Early submissions for the show were due February 24 and late submissions were due April 7. Designers needed to provide mood boards, sketches, a design statement and hair and makeup preferences for their collection.
This is the first year that
"Designers are not going to know who is judging them and the judges won't know whose work they are looking at," said Alyssa Kohler, the director of submissions and hospitality for Threads.
Fashion expedition
Designers aren't the only ones who put in hard work for Threads. Planning of the event's theme has been ongoing since a month after last year's show concluded.
Planning began in May 2016, after producers were selected by Mull earlier that month.
Mull looks for producers who are "multifaceted." Ideal candidates are "hardworking, talented and (equipped with) creativity and leadership skills," he said.
For him, co-producers Julia Allen and Lauren Agnew are a complementary pair who give the show "the best overall package" for this year.
By August, student producers were prepared to move forward with the show's themes, turning their ideas into reality, Mull added.
The show's theme this year is "Fashion Expedition." It combines elements drawn from travel and "exploring new places, new ideas and yourself," Allen said.
Allen came up with the idea during her internship with the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. The Macomb junior remembers staring out her dorm room window when she started getting inspired.
"Being in New York made me think about diversity and culture," Allen said. "It was something that everyone (there related to and was connected by) because it was a city of so many different (personalities and) cultures."
The theme will focus on elements of self-discovery and adventure, the producers said.
"It is really focused on pushing yourself out into the world to take adventures, explore creativity and go places you have never been before," Mull said.
Setting up the show's aesthetic
Planners used the idea of travel to convey the show's theme. For example, the tickets are designed to resemble airplane boarding passes.
The stage will also include lighting using special runway fixtures to mimic an airport setting. Illinois sophomore Krista Franzese hopes this will remind audiences of the producers' concepts.
"(We aim) to show the path to finding your inner self," said Franzese, who is responsible for lighting, music, model choreography and designing the runway.
Franzese is one of six committee directors. Other committees include venue and atmosphere, logistics, submissions and hospitality, modeling, public relations and the mounted exhibition, which is a display of fashion-related artwork. The students running these committees are responsible for organizing fundraisers and leading groups of at least five fashion show promotion and production students.
"Project Runway" Star at CMU
Mull expects this year's audience to exceed 2,000 because of Gunn's presence at the show.
"People who are familiar with the fashion industry will understand who Tim Gunn is and his importance within the industry," Mull said. "I think (having him here) really helps to legitimize our program."
Gunn is a fashion consultant, author and co-host for Lifetime reality television series "Project Runway" and "Project Runway Junior." Gunn and his co-host Heidi Klum won a 2013 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality-Competition Program.
"I don't think I'll be able to watch 'Project Runway' the same after this experience," Agnew said. "I won't even believe I am meeting him until I'm sitting next to him in front of (everybody)."
This year's Threads' designers will also have a private meet and greet with Gunn. The fashion icon is expected to view their garments and take a photograph with designers on the day of the show.
"I can't even describe it," said Commerce Township sophomore Tiffany Griffiths. "Being able to meet a top fashion icon is super incredible and I can't even believe we were able to get (Tim Gunn) here."
After negotiations with Threads, Program Board, University Events and his agent, Gunn agreed to do the segment under moderation by Mull and Threads' student producers. Although he committed to doing the Q&A segment, Gunn will not be present for the actual show.
Gunn was first contacted by Program Board to be included in the 2017 Central Michigan University Speaker Series that runs from April 24-25 in Finch Fieldhouse.
"Program Board (is) really responsible for bringing him in," Mull said. "They realized that Threads and Tim Gunn were a really good (match)."
Gunn will not be the only Lifetime guest star making an appearance. Fourth place winner from the second season of "Project Runway Junior," Isabella
Kostrezwa's stage name is Izzy and she is a junior at the Sacred Heart Academy in Mount Pleasant. She will have her own station at the venue that will be presenting three of her garments displayed on live models. Each of these outfits was created and shown on the show that premiered Dec. 22, 2016.
Walking the runway
Leah Robinson joined Threads' model calls last year and is now a student director for models.
The Farmington Hills sophomore is responsible for coordinating more than 100 student models for this year's show.
Designers choose their own models. Many of them had a good idea of who their models would be prior to the open casting calls held earlier this semester, Robinson said.
Robinson's committee focused on teaching student models how to walk properly and improve their stature on the runway.
"The most important thing for a model is to keep in mind that it is not about them, it is about the designer and the garment," Robinson said. "Models are basically a live mannequin. They need to make sure to show off the garment to the best of their ability.
"Our designers spend so much time making these outfits that it needs to be seen by everyone who attends."
For Robinson, using CMU students as models makes the show more personal.
"It's our own students and we are targeting our own student body," she said. "Having your friends and family up on stage makes (the show) just that much more exciting."

Celestia's lost student?
Well, look at this. After all, the "mysterious masked pony" we saw a while ago really seems to become a major character. This snippet is from a box of her toy. The full picture is below the break.
It says Sunset Shimmer was a student of Celestia years ago. And it kind of announces a "special celebration". That's the reason for the masked ponies we saw on the ToyFair pictures.
I'd consider this to be more than a rumor... So, have a discussion. What do you think will happen?

For the 2018 edition, Dubai Design Week partnered with social networking giant Facebook through a real-world activation set within the heart of Dubai Design District (d3). Customized workshops and knowledge sharing activities had been specially devised to celebrate the Arab creative community.
When technology meets art and design, the possibilities are endless. As part of Facebook's six-day activation at Dubai Design Week, an initiative of bringing people together and celebrating art and design of the region, 'Blank Canvas' was a wall of constantly changing and user-generated art was on show for the duration of the festival. A space where visitors and participants of workshops could paint on canvas-covered cubes as a form of artistic expression, Blank Canvas aimed to bring together elements of culture, design, history, and individuality.
The idea was to allow the community to express their relationship with Facebook, which has becoming so much part of daily life across the world. In the name of networking and creativity, Blank Canvas were also encouraging people to let loose in special two-hour workshops where participants would paint on the same large piece of canvas to live music and periodically moved seats so as to build upon one another's artwork.
UAE-based social enterprise 81 Designs conducted free interactive workshops in the art of traditional Palestinian embroidery, also known as Tatreez. Taking place every afternoon of Dubai Design Week, the activity is a kind of cross stitching but with deep historical significance, where every pattern and shape can signify something different. The materials provided to the participants at the workshops had been collated and prepared by Palestinian refugee women, making the event not only fascinating but socially conscious too.
MNDBAR, an independent collective space that uses emerging technologies and design thinking tools to shift mindsets, offered workshop attendees the opportunity to learn basic principles of innovative problem solving through sessions focussing on "mind fitness"; a practice based in neuroscience that works on sharpening the brain's emotional response mechanism resulting in being able to shift perspective, identify opportunities for improvement and transform problem-solving capacity. Visitors of Tasmeem Facebook also had access to 'The Lab'; a technological laboratory designed to help guests learn more about how to effectively use various tools of Facebook.

You are here
Human behaviour has always fascinated me. Why do people do what they do? Beahviour is what we see. It is visible. But what we don't see is hidden, like most of the iceberg. Generally we can't see what underlies the behaviour, what are the reasons for it. You have tried everything but because you don't know the causes it seems impossible to find the right strategy. Looking below the water is the first step to finding the causes and so the solutions.
My goal is to get the best out of children. Focus on their strenght. The difficult behaviour can be disturbing. My experience is that they don't act difficulty deliberately. It is often a reaction on something they can't express in an other way.
Therefor I take you on a "TreaserHunt" to find the 'why' and the 'how'.

Pack it up for Purim event packs in the volunteers

To Help Families In Need By Sending Food Packages, Participants Both Literally and Figuratively Think Outside The Box
Plainview, NY, March 20, 2014: In advance of the Purim holiday, which took place on March 15th and 16th, the Young Israel of Plainview recently participated in a far-reaching effort to provide food for those in need. Known as Pack It Up For Purim, this fourth annual event brought out droves of volunteers to help with the efforts. The event is under the auspices of an effort known as Feeding Our Neighbors: An Interfaith Response, an initiative organized by the UJA Federation in conjunction with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York.
While it is always important to help those in need, the effort bore additional significance due to the underlying themes of Purim. During this yearly Jewish holiday, congregants, friends and neighbors alike take the opportunity to exchange baskets of food to one another, a hallowed tradition that began thousands of years ago. This concept of sending treats to those you know easily transitioned to the notion of giving food away to those in need. Many would argue that this recognizable parallel is not at all by coincidence.
When all was said and done, the event was a rousing success. The participants collected a tremendous amount of food items, donating the entire lot to the Alix Rubinger Kosher Food Pantry in Massapequa, a both willing and grateful recipient. Iris Astrof, who can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com, and is a longtime volunteer at the pantry, was moved by the effort, saying "we are so appreciative for the all the hard work and determination of the participants. Today's efforts will go a long way toward helping a lot of people." Pack It Up For Purim also ended up raising almost $1,000.00, sufficient enough to now be able to provide additional food care packages for 60 families. These efforts, which will have a both real and significant impact in the communities involved, have not reached a conclusion but, rather, will continue on as an annual event, much like the Purim holiday it will coincide with.
Teen volunteer Sammy Gross was glad to be involved, saying "a family having food to eat is not a luxury but a basic human right. I wish we lived in world in which nobody had to worry about where their next meal was coming from. Until that day happens, I am happy to work with my friends and my synagogue to do my part to help out as many families in need as possible."
The Young Israel of Plainview is a vibrant Modern Orthodox Jewish Congregation in Plainview New York. For more information on this and our other programs and events please visit our website at ww.yiplainview.com or contact Rabbi Elie Weissman at email@example.com

And how the swift beat of the brain
Falters because it is in vain,
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf
Knowest thou not? and how the chief
Of joys seems—not to suffer pain?
Know'st thou not at the fall of the leaf
How the soul feels like a dried sheaf
Bound up at length for harvesting,
And how death seems a comely thing
In Autumn at the fall of the leaf?
— Dante Rossetti

I use the WMS Layer in ArcGISRuntime 10.2.7.0
When I pan/zoom the map content, Fiddler shows that many requests are made to the WMS. The content shown is the last incoming request instead of the current request needed, depending on how fast a tile can be received. Leading to the problem that maybe only half the map is displayed.
In other applications with other tools used, the old requests are cancelled as soon as we pan or zoom the map, so that we only receive the picture to the current request.
The question now is : Is there a setting I can use to have only the requested data for the WMS Layer and cancel the unwanted?

blog, device, Electrolux, flavor, food, fragrance, Franziska Josteit, Health, In-Imitable, innovation, Lars Erikson, mindset, perfume, scent, SET TO MIMIC
Mind Power is potent and it can manipulate or simulate circumstances that may seem fictitious and surreal. Based on this premise is the plate and glass combo of the 'SET TO MIMIC' tableware. The idea is to put a microchip in us, which interacts with our brain cells so that it can register smells, tastes and textures of our favorite food. When bland or 'health foods' are placed on the plate, the microchip manipulates our senses to feel as if we are eating our favorite food.
For example, you could be eating a plate of broccoli, but 'SET TO MIMIC' makes you feel as if you are eating a cheeseburger!
Romanian Designer Sorina Răsteanu submitted her innovative idea to the Electrolux Design Lab competition and won. Lars Erikson, head of Electrolux Design and the Design Lab jury says: "For this year's global design competition, we asked students to submit concepts based on our theme 'Creating Healthy Homes'. In the end, we selected out of 1,700 entries. The finalists' concepts are truly innovative and offer new ideas on how we might be living our lives in the future, whether it's eating healthier or being more sustainable."
Great innovation, but somehow also scary, right?!? Yours, Fran

Text by Metapaper
… as the name implies is a paper with an extramatt finish. This is the first paper developed by Metapaper. The Lugo paper mill near Bassano di Grappa in Northern Italy manufactures EXTRAMATT.
It is anyone's guess whether Grappa played a role in the development process or whether this paper is purely the result of hard work. The fact of the matter is: EXTRAMATT is the world's roughest coated paper.
Moreover, it folds extremely well and was developed as the first premium art paper for HP Indigo digital printing and dry toner digital printing. Offset printing with EXTRAMATT also achieves fantastic results. However, due to the rough surface of the paper you do need to allow for a longer drying time.
With a very thin coating, EXTRAMATT has a significantly higher bulk (1.15) than machine coated paper. It is available in White and in 115 gsm, 130 gsm, 145 gsm, 165 gsm, 300 gsm and 400 gsm.
In it's Coldwhite shade EXTRAMATT is by the way the world's whitest coated paper by measurement with a CIE Whitness of 160.
EXTRAMATT is manufactured on one of the smallest paper machines in Europe. Only small machines are flexible enough to produce such a rough paper. At 300 gsm and at 400 gsm, the paper consists of two layers (duplexing). The product is of course FSC®-certified.

Mayana Zatz
Mayana Zatz
Dr. Zatz is a professor of Human and Medical Genetics and is currently the director of the Human Genome Research Center and Institute of stem-cells in genetic disorders, at the University of São Paulo (USP). She is a member of the Brazilian Academy of Sciences and Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) and president of the Brazilian Muscular Dystrophy Association. Her research in human and medical genetics focuses mainly on the following aspects of neuromuscular disorders: identification, genotype-phenotype correlations, mechanisms of clinical variability and stem-cell therapeutic applications. She has been awarded several prizes: L´Oreal/Unesco for women in Science; as the best Latin American researcher in 2001; TWAS for research in medical sciences, 2004 and the Mexican Prize of Sciences and Technology (2008). From 2008 to 2012 she wrote more than 250 articles as a columnist for the magazine VEJA interpreting and discussing scientific news and ethical issues for lay people. She published more than 300 peer-reviewed articles that were cited almost 8000 times (H=41, Web of Knowledge, Web of Science, H=40, November 2013). She is the author of the book GenÉTICA ( GeneEthics). She has been actively involved in ethical aspects related to genome research, genetic testing and political decisions regarding the approval of the Brazilian embryonic stem-cell bill in 2005 and 2008.
Research profile
My research group, which has currently 8 graduate students, 3 pos-doc and 2 undergraduate students is currently focusing on neuromuscular disorders (NMD), stem-cells and aging with the following aims:
a) To enhance our understanding on the mechanisms responsible for NMD. To attain this first aim we are trying to identify new genes by next generation mutation analysis and we are also comparing patients carrying the same mutation who have discordant phenotypes, particularly asymptomatic patients. Understanding the mechanisms that protect some individuals (also animal models) from the deleterious effects of a pathogenic mutation may open new avenues of research with therapeutic implications. In addition we are deriving stem cells lineages from families with affected patients for modeling these NMD in particular amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. These lineages will allow us to investigate the gene expression in various cell lines as well as novel drugs screening.
b) To contribute to the knowledge of healthy aging in the Brazilian population as well as looking for the genetics of handedness. To achieve this goal we are collecting DNA samples from a large cohort of healthy individuals older than 80 who will also be submitted to MRI. This cohort will be compared to another cohort of subjects older than 60 that have been followed since 2000.c) Compare the clinical impact of stem-cells from different sources in animal models with different neuromuscular disorders.
This research is underway. We are evaluating the clinical effect of human adult stromal mesenchymal stem cells and pericyte derived stem-cells from distinct sources transplanted in animal models with different neuromuscular disorders including ALS.
Diagnostic and counseling activities
Mayana Zatz has been heavily involved in Genetic Counseling of families with neuromuscular disorders since the late seventies. She has attended approximately 25.000 individuals belonging to familes with affected patients and is President and Founder of the Brazilian Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Numerous reports, investigations, and the exposure of a neo-Nazi among their ranks raise concerns about the state of the Canadian Armed Forces. In November 2018, the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) announced that it had suspended four soldiers from their duties for running an 'army-surplus' website that largely catered to white supremacists by selling clothing, flags,… Continue reading "Is There A Radical Right Racism Problem In The Canadian Armed Forces?"
On October 10 2018, British anti-Muslim figurehead Stephen Yaxley-Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) caused uproar when he posted a video of himself with a group of young trainee soldiers online. The British Army quickly reacted to the incident, disavowing Yaxley-Lennon, and discharging one of the soldiers involved. Subsequently Yaxley-Lennon has hijacked this incident to promote his… Continue reading "The Ramifications of the #IAmSoldierX Campaign"

Even the most positive, motivated and driven people will have days where they will struggle to stay inspired. Sometimes we just need something to pick us up or someone to tell us what to do, even when deep down we know it ourselves. So, if you are feeling sluggish or just having "one of those days" then here are ways to stay inspired.
1. Stay well rested.
Sleep and stay well rested, it's definitely something we all know but take for granted. Sleep is so important in helping us feeling energised the next day. Have you ever woken up later than you planned and had to rush out that door, it's not quite the way to start a day, right? Setting your alarm (or even several) and waking up earlier to do things you enjoy, at your own pace can really help you stay inspired for the rest of the day. If you're having an 'off' day – then log off, shut down and sleep earlier!
2. Stay hydrated.
Again this is something so important but often neglected by many; do you drink your 8 glasses of water a day? We're all guilty in this, but making sure you reach for that glass of water every morning as soon as you wake up, can help flush away bad toxins in the body and help you feel instantly awake and energised. Make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day too, it can make all the difference in how your body feels and i turn reflects how you feel. If you don't like the taste of water, add fruit like lemons or strawberries into your water for a tangy summery taste.
3. Get moving.
Whether it's a relaxing twenty minute yoga session in the morning or an after work hardcore HIIT session, the point is to move. Even if it's light exercise like going for a stroll during your lunch break, it's important to get out there and get your body pumping and blood flowing. If you're just sitting there waiting to feel inspired again then you got it wrong; get up, listen to some uplifting music and start moving. When you exercise, you will feel motivated and feel good.
4. Plan tasks to do.
Every morning, write down three tasks to do that day. This can be work related tasks, school related tasks or even personal day to day tasks. For example, it could be to drink 8 glasses of water that day, clean your desk, prepare a healthy lunch or fit in a HIIT workout at some point in the day. Writing down a plan for the day can let your mind have a focus, hitting mini tasks and goals can help you become more inspired to do other tasks you didn't plan to.
5. Express Gratitude.
Make this a part of your routine, you can either write this down or even just think about it. Express at least three things at the start or end of the day (or even both) about what you are thankful for. Maybe you're grateful for the food you had today, maybe you had a great day at work, maybe someone made your day. If you're grateful for a person, then give them a message or a call to tell them you're thinking about them.
Following some of the tips above or even just one of them can help you feel more inspired. Even though they are little tasks that seem easy to do, we can often forget and take the smallest things for granted. It is true that we only get one life, and it is precious. So spread love, be kind and remain inspired.
