Organizations go to great lengths to acquire, improve and maintain a culture and infrastructure that gives them a competitive advantage. Organizations that succeed persist; organizations that are not successful at organization building usually fail over time, unless they have a monopoly in a particular market segment.
Suppose you want to go into competition with Microsoft with an "innovative" spreadsheet product called "My_Excel".
Because spreadsheets are widely used, you would need to offer My_Excel at a low price.
So, your strategy might be to make My_Excel come "out-of-the box" with a range of "standard" workflow templates so that the user can plug the product in and immediately start "using" your product.
In your haste to get to market quickly, you skip over the usually exhaustive design prototyping where you improve the design of your product.
You decide to concentrate on look-and-feel and you sidestep issues of "configuration" by providing a seemingly impressive portfolio of workflows.
Anyone wanting other workflows can call an 800 number and speak to a business analyst who will bend over backwards to "customize" the product to suit your "special" needs. At a fee that can easily exceed the standard license fee for the product.
What is wrong with this scenario?
Well, just about everything and the outcome is predictable – no one will buy your product when they can get, for about the "same" price, a spreadsheet environment where THEY can put in place THEIR workflows. Not to mention avoid consulting fees they usually don't find out about until they are on your "slippery slope".
Sadly, prospective buyers of hospital systems, manufacturing systems, to give just two examples, either do not have the evaluation capabilities or perhaps the time to select a system from a herd of 300+ offerings, all of which "… save time and money" according to the "Cheshire cat" smiling salesman.
How can you select a software solution that is capable of addressing your current needs as well as unanticipated future needs?
This brings us to "Your workflows or mine?" – if the system you are looking at has pre-configured notions of what your workflows "should" be, then you do not need to spend more time on that "solution". If the vendor says the system can be "customized" to suit your needs, move on.
This thinning of the herd will give you a short list of systems that YOU can configure to suit YOUR current and changing needs.
And, the proof of the pudding is easy.
Call as many vendors as you can stand to listen to, tell them you want a GoToMeeting and at the start of the meeting tell the vendor to skip the corporate stuff and skip the canned demo. Tell the vendor YOU would like to build, compile and run a workflow of your choice and would they please hand over the mouse to you so you can proceed to take the lead in giving a demo of the system to your colleagues.
This request will typically be met with silence.
But, if you persist in your evaluation process you will find a product that you can use to build and maintain workflows that focus on YOUR needs.
Clearly, if you can accomplish the demo objective that you set, most of the rest of your colleagues will be able to use the system.
Questions or comments, please call the author at 800 529 5355.

Can Gold Hold Support?
Kitco Commentaries | Opinions, Ideas and Markets Talk
Featuring views and opinions written by market professionals, not staff journalists.
Wednesday turned out to be one of the wildest days in stock-market history when equities were down 500 points in the premarket on news of trade wars and tariffs. By the time the market opened at 9:30 a.m. EDT, equities had found their bottoms and the rally was on, with the market closing up almost 300 points on the day.
At the height of the panic, gold had rallied to $1,346 before closing at $1,336. Once again, the metal weakened near resistance and now sits on the new support level of $1,330. The big question -- can gold hold support?
With both gold and silver at key support levels, the dollar holds the key. The suppression of the dollar by the Fed and central banks around the world has not had as much benefit for the metals as it should have. If the dollar index breaks out over 91, look for the metals to fail to hold support and move lower

The Fair Work Ombudsman has recently recovered $234,000 back-pay for workers in Sydney's south and south-western suburbs.
The biggest recovery was $64,500 for a driver in Mascot who was underpaid penalty rates for almost five years.
After Fair Work inspectors contacted the company and explained its obligations, the worker was back-paid his entitlements in full.
In another case, a Greenacre clerical worker has been reimbursed $25,200 after being underpaid the minimum hourly rate and annual leave entitlements.
And a butcher in Mascot - who worked for the same company for 10 years - has been back-paid $25,100 after he was not paid accrued annual leave and long service leave on termination.
Inspectors discovered the underpayments through a combination of routine audits and investigations into complaints from workers.
Significant underpayments were identified in the transport, hospitality, security, management, trade and service sectors.
Common issues of non-compliance encountered by inspectors include underpayment of workers' minimum hourly rates, penalty rates, workers not paid for all hours worked and failure to pay full entitlements to workers upon termination of their employment.
Other recoveries include:
Fair Work Ombudsman Executive Director Michael Campbell says that given all the employers co-operated and voluntarily rectified the matters, there will be no further action against the companies involved.
Mr Campbell says that in most cases, the Fair Work Ombudsman does not prosecute employers for inadvertent breaches of workplace laws.
"Our preference is always to work with employers to educate them and help them voluntary rectify any non-compliance issues," he said.
"Employers need to regularly review their Award or agreement to ensure they are fully aware of their obligations to their workers."
The Fair Work Ombudsman has a number of tools on its website - www.fairwork.gov.au - to assist employees and employers to check minimum rates of pay, including PayCheck, PayrollCheck and a Pay Rate Calculator.
Small to medium-sized businesses without human resources staff can also ensure they are better equipped when hiring, managing and dismissing employees by using free template employment documentation with step-by-step instructions or accessing a series of Best Practice Guides.
Online resources also include payslip and record-keeping templates, a self-audit checklist and fact sheets.
The 'Industries' section on the Fair Work Ombudsman's website provides information specifically tailored for employers and workers in the retail, cleaning, clerical, hair and beauty, security and horticulture industries.
Employers or employees seeking assistance or further information can also contact the Fair Work Infoline on 13 13 94 from 8am-6pm weekdays. For translations, call 13 14 50.

America's Got Talent Finalists Serenade Scranton
Social Media Manager
Kazual (pronounced "casual") performed in the Moskovitz Theater, located on the fourth floor of the DeNaples Center on September 14 at 8:30 p.m.
Kazual is an a cappella group from Atlanta, Georgia. The group is made up of three brothers, DMac, Lil Gabe, and Playboi, and one cousin, EJae. Kazual rose to fame after competing on season three of "America's Got Talent." The group made it to the quarterfinals of the show before being eliminated.
Since then, Kazual has been busy performing at colleges, clubs, fairs and festivals throughout the country. The group has opened for Beyoncé, Nelly and Randy Houser. Kazual has also performed on "The Maury Povich Show's Next Big Superstars of Tomorrow," BET and MTV. In addition, they have won various awards, including a Georgia Music Award for Best R&B group and "Campus Activities Magazine's" Best Music Performers of 2015.
Kazual's performance at The University of Scranton was organized by USPB. Students who attended the event were able to enjoy a variety of songs that were broken down "Kazual style." The group started off the night by performing songs from a variety of genres, including Usher's "U Got it Bad," Hunter Hayes' "Wanted," Mario's "Let Me Love You," Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" and a boyband medley that featured songs from One Direction, NSYNC and The Backstreet Boys.
Halfway through the performance, Kazual called everyone with a September birthday up to the stage. The group then serenaded the September babies with a "Kazual version" of "Happy Birthday."
Kazual closed its performance by performing some original songs, including its latest single, "Bounce."
After the performance, fans had the opportunity to take pictures with the members of Kazual.

A Sense of Bridal History
"We are gathered here today to announce our newest exhibit,
Love is in the air: A Sense of Bridal History"
Enter the front door of the Asahel Wright Museum and enter a world of peacefulness and joy. Enter a world where long standing tradition is celebrated.
Experience seven amazing bridal gowns, some grooms' wear, all combined with the history of many wedding customs. Love is in the air: A Sense of Bridal History is the newest exhibit at the Asahel Wright Museum. The dresses exhibited are from 1860, 1873, 1890, 1922, 1949/51, 1960, and 1973. Seeing them displayed together truly shows not only changes in style, but changes in brides themselves through the ages.
Many of the traditions we treasure today had their roots in ancient times and cultures. As time evolved, these traditions did too. For instance, one constant has always been the importance of the bride's dress. In olden days, she would wear her very best dress; a "one occasion" garment was not practical. The dress reflected the financial standing of the bride's father which in turn represented the family's position in society. Since weddings were essentially "business arrangements," the bride was an asset who needed to reflect her family's best qualities. Then in 1840, wearing white came into vogue when Queen Victoria married her cousin Prince Albert. Having a white dress suddenly symbolized wealth and status. Today, the bride's dress reflects her own taste and personality.
Two of the gowns, the ones from 1860 and 1973, were recently donated and have never been viewed by the public. The rest of them are very unique; they were last on exhibit over ten years ago. Some of them are in extremely delicate condition and will be "resting" for quite a while after this exhibit closes on November 14, 2019.
For more information, contact Joellen Ulliman, Curator.
Starting on Saturday, July 6, the Asahel Wright Museum (including the Schoolhouse Museum and the special Sense of Bridal History Exhibit) will be open to the public from 11 - 2 on Saturdays. This summer special is made possible by Centerville-Washigton History members and volunteers so that more people may view the exhibits and learn about our rich local history. Entrance is FREE!

Podium Short Oral Session 4 Neurogenic Bladder 32 Spectral analysis of urodynamic data can pick up low amplitude phasic bladder and rectal contractions in neurogenic bladder patients
Committee Member
Israel Franco, MD is a Pediatric urologist with 25 years experience in the field and has been listed in Castle Connolly's top doctors. He will be directing our new Yale/New Haven Children's Bladder and Continence Program. Dr. Franco received his medical degree from Albert Einstein College and is fellowship trained At Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, now the Lurie Children's Hospital. Dr Franco has been an early innovator in laparoscopic surgery and neurourology in pediatric urology. Dr Franco is the treasurer and board member of the International Children's Continence Society, which plays a vital role in the education of physicians, nurses and physiotherapist in the care of children's urinary and bowel continence issues. Dr Franco was one of the earliest practitioners of biofeedback therapy in the in the United States and established the paradigm of using nurse practitioners and other physician extenders to help manage the children with urinary incontinence and dysfunctional voiding allowing for extended contact time with caretakers.
Dr. Franco has been a visiting professor at several prestigious urology programs throughout the country. He has also been an invited professor in Italy, Brazil, China, South Korea, Venezuela, Ecuador and Columbia. Dr Franco has published over 90 articles in peer reviewed journals and has contributed 19 chapters for textbooks with the most recent contributions to Chancellor and Diokno's textbook on Underactive Bladder in Children and Swaiman's Neurology: Practices and Principles. He is the lead editor and contributor to a multidisciplinary textbook on Pediatric Urinary Incontinence published by Blackwell Publishing, which was released October 2015.
Since Dr. Franco's publication on the Management and Treatment of Overactive in Bladder in Children in 2007 in Journal of Urology he has driven the pediatric community to look at CNS mechanisms as the cause of most incontinence and dysfunctional voiding issues in children. Since that time a more concerted effort to explore these mechanisms has continued to confirm a central role for many children with refractory incontinence.Dr. Franco is involved in clinical research to elucidate the mechanisms of incontinence in children and to find methods to predict incontinence episodes in children with new non invasive technologies.
Dr Franco has been involved in clinical trials that have lead to the approval of the only anticholinergic approved for use in children and is involved in trials that will hopefully lead to the approval of a new anticholinergic as well Botulimun toxin A for use in children.
Always an early innovator and on the cutting edge of technology he brings a proven track record of successful innovative therapies to children with neurogenic bladder problems as well as children with non neurogenic bladder and continence issues.
Israel Franco declared on the Monday 1st June 2020 that they had the following existing or known future financial relationships or affiliations:

I have got this crazy idea stuck in my head lately about buying an old crew cab square body Chevy/GMC and sticking the body on a way better frame, like 1999+. I would also cut the cab floor out of the square body and swap in the floor of the newer truck to make everything bolt together better and get the nicer seats. Same with the dash. The problem is I have no money for these bad (GREAT!!!!!) ideas.
Like this one is ideal! Looks complete AND it's the front end that I love the most. Screw that 1991 Suburban nonsense, this one is the sex. I would not be keeping it a dually and would make it a short bed. I would want to source a wrecked 99+ 2500HD or bigger. Ugh money is dumb.

I encounter a lot of confusion behind the coffee counter, mostly because of a lot of the coffee misinformation that's floating around out there. I'm not going to claim that my definitions below are the end-all, be-all... but in the course of my coffee career I've seen all of these play out to be mostly accurate definitions. Write me via Carrier Pigeon if they're not.

Ever have a coffee so good that it makes you smile? One that causes an emotional response each time you take a sip? One where you're like, "Holy crap I actually taste blueberries!" and you really mean it this time because the flavor notes are so distinct that you don't even have to lie to impress your barista friends? Yeah, that's this coffee.

Members of Centre College's Alpha Phi Omega: Theta Theta chapter will host "Think Outside the Box," a 12-hour event starting Friday, Nov. 16 at 6 p.m. and ending at 6 a.m. the next morning. The initiative is part of the Poverty & Homelessness Week and serves as a fundraiser and educational opportunity.
"Each hour of the event has an activity tied to poverty and homelessness," said Bhavani Gudlavalleti '19, a member of the Poverty & Homelessness Week committee. "This year, we are diving into learning more about Appalachians who are experiencing poverty and/or homelessness. For example, we will watch "October Sky" and discuss how the movie highlights the problems Appalachians and coal mining towns are facing."
In addition, a variety of activities, discussions, games and food will be available to help the campus community engage with the challenges of poverty and homelessness in Eastern Kentucky.
"This is a drop-in event, so everyone is welcome to come whenever they are available throughout the evening," said committee member Lauren Rutledge '19. "The first half, 6 p.m. to midnight, will be in the Campus Center, while for the second half, midnight to 6 a.m., we will move outside to the campus lawn."
Rutledge describes the goals of this event as two-fold.
"First, we want to raise awareness of poverty and homelessness, deconstruct the harmful misconceptions about Eastern Kentucky and explore ways in which we can assist and empower those struggling with poverty and homelessness," she said. "Second, we are raising money for the Poverty & Homelessness Week philanthropy The Backpack Club, which provides food for children of all ages that are struggling with food insecurity in three counties of Eastern Kentucky.
"Nine students have made the commitment to participate in all 12 hours of 'Think Outside the Box,' and we are asking for donation sponsorships for these nine students," she continued. "All donations will go to The Backpack Club. If you'd like to donate, please contact Hannah Gibbs at firstname.lastname@example.com for details."
Gudlavalleti said she hopes the underclassmen and faculty and staff members in attendance will return next year and participate in this initiative again.
"Last year, when I was a participant, I enjoyed talking and discussing reflective questions to students that I didn't know so well," she added. "There was a bond of camaraderie between the participants last year in the early morning hours."
According to Rutledge, this is an important event for students to attend, because it was created for students by students.
"Our committee has put in a lot of time and energy to make the activities fun and exciting," she concluded. "Each person who spends their Friday evening at our event is actively choosing to join us, and that is meaningful to us."

Everyone wants to know that the investments they've made are worthwhile and profitable. It's especially important when it comes to larger investments, such as your home. So, the real question becomes: How do you increase the value in your home?
Use your tax refund to increase the value of your home. Here's how!
Start with the Current Market Value of Your Home
Before you can begin working toward increasing the value in your home, it's important to know the current market value. You will be able to use this as a benchmark moving forward. While you can work with your local bank to determine the actual value, you can start with an educated guess yourself if you want to start immediately. Here are a few tips to get you started:
#1 Know Your Home
Begin by getting to know your home inside and out. Review home characteristics, such as location, internal components, and external components.
- Home Characteristics.
- Are you located in a good school district?
- Is your neighborhood growing?
- How many houses are currently for sale in your area?
- Internal Characteristics
- Square footage
- Construction quality
- Number of rooms
- Energy efficiency
- External Characteristics
- Overall home condition
- Age of the home
- Amount of land
- Style of architecture
- Sidewalk conditions
Doing a parcel search on your property at the Mercer County Auditor's website or the Darke County Auditor's website may provide helpful information.
#2 Research Similar Properties
Now that you have this information at your fingertips, research similar properties that have recently sold in your area. Take an average of 3 to 5 homes.
If you know the properties that have recently sold, you can look up their information on the auditor's website. Otherwise, ask your real estate agent or broker. Compare the information to get an approximate idea of the value.
#3 Appraisal
The average cost to appraise a house is $316. However, if you've recently purchased the property, you or your bank should have an appraisal.
Building Value in Your Home
When wanting to build value in your home, the first thing that comes to mind is typically remodeling rooms. While this is a great idea and quickly brings value into the spaces you already have, begin with structural problems. Be sure to look for defects, such as a leaky or bowing roof, cracks in foundation, mildew or mold, insect infestations (ants, termites, etc.), and unstable chimneys. While some of these repairs may be on the pricier side, they are absolutely essential to maintain your home's value.
HGTV asked whether these basics mattered, and the overwhelming response is that they did. Potential buyers do not want to purchase problems.
Siding replacement recouped 98.2% of its cost, according to Remodeling Magazine. Replacing roofs and windows earned back over 80% upon resale.
From here, you should begin updating the wiring and plumbing in your home. Wiring is extremely critical, as older wiring can be a fire hazard. The easiest way to determine if wiring is old is by checking the age and quality of your fuse box. Plumbing is also important, as old plumbing can lead to insufficient hot and cold water, as well as burst pipes. Finally, be sure to update the central heating in your home. This can increase energy efficiency and lower overall heating bills.
What's the difference between a home equity loan and a home equity line of credit?
After all the previous repairs have been made, now is the time to remodel rooms and improve overall "curb appeal". We suggest starting with the kitchen, as it has the greatest return on investment of any room of the house (92.9%). This can be as simple as changing the room's color with a fresh coat of paint and staining wood cabinets or it could be a complete remodel. The amount of work and money is entirely up to you.
Outside of basic room repair, don't forget to update other portions of the home as well. Peeling paint, squeaky stairs, and cracked plaster all can reduce the value on your house. Be sure to leave no stone unturned.
Home Repair Takes Time
Remember: Home remodeling and repair take time. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Start with one room at time, and don't overextend your capacity. Work with your local bank to determine the best lending strategy to make all the necessary and desired repairs. Before you know it, you will have the home of your dreams!
Let us help you create your dream home with a personal loan, home equity loan or home equity line of credit! Call 877.672.4543 or visit a Mercer Savings Bank location near you today!

I made my first YouTube channel in 2006, only a year after the launch of the platform.
It is now thirteen years later.
That old Youtube channel only has 37 videos and 187 subscribers.
It's riddled with copyrighted material, and I have not uploaded a new video to it in over five years.
So it won't surprise you that when I was starting to consider making some YouTube videos in conjunction with this blog, I wanted to start from scratch. With a brand new YouTube profile!
I also wanted the new profile to bear the same name as my blog. To make it easy for people to seek me out from one platform to the next.
So with that, the SindrElf YouTube channel was created!
Now, I've not made enough videos lately to actually get any good at it, but I'm getting there.
But I do learn something new while making each video, and maybe some of those lessons could be of use to others.
So here's a few things I learned from making each of the seven videos on my new profile!
1. My First YouTube Video
When I started this project, I had to get a lot of basics down before I could move on to trying to improve.
I had to learn a new editing software, namely HitFilm Express.
I had to learn how to edit audio in Audacity.
Naturally, I did not want my new YouTube channel to have any copyrighted material in it. So I signed up for a year-long membership at a stock video provider.
2. 5 Informations About Ducks
Now that I had access to stock video and audio, I wanted to use what I had available to me.
So I decided I would use stock video of several ducks, and make a comedic video with both facts and jokes about ducks.
Turns out, a YouTuber by the name of zefrank1 had already made a gigantic series called True Facts with this exacts same concept. And he had done it much better than me.
What I learned here is that most ideas are taken, so I should try to make something that only I can make. Easier said than done.
After the second video, I started work on another video containing a lot of stock footage. This time of sheep.
I soon lost the interest and will to keep spending so much time editing video.
It would be a year before I started working on my third released video.
3. Skeleton Headbangers
After an entire year of not making any videos, I needed to make something short and simple before getting into full steam again.
This certainly helped.
4. Sofa Shop – End of an Era
I was inspired to make this by an episode of a podcast I like, and I'll take inspiration wherever I can find it.
Making this video taught me some more complex audio editing skills in Audacity.
5. I'm Creating YouTube Habits
This is the video I am most happy with among these seven, and this is the style of video I want to aim for in the future.
No more stock video with my voice over it!
And while I regret giving the promise of releasing a new video each week, I still think I need to keep trying to release videos continually. If I don't keep it up, I'm going to have another year-long break before too long.
I also figured out that my audio recordings were much worse when I had my laptop plugged in to certain outlets in my apartment.
Turns out, grounded outlets are better for audio quality than ungrounded ones.
So now I just unplug my laptop when I record audio.
6. Robot Factory Malfunction [electronic music]
I taught myself the basics of the online electronic music software Soundtrap.
It is similar to the Apple exclusive music software GarageBand.
I also learned that it was not very smart to try to crank as many lightning bolt effects into the video that HitFilm Express would let me.
The rendering time on this video took foooreeeeeveeer.
7. Found Cryptid Footage – The Elder Lamb
Now that I was getting back into the swing of things, I wanted to finish off the project I had started before I took my long break.
This was a very bad idea, considering that this video was part of the reason I had taken the break to begin with.
With this video, I had made a very difficult job for myself.
First off, it is fiction, something that brings with it an entire new set of problems. It is much hader to make a video with a fictional story than to simply convey factual information in an entertaining way.
I am somewhat skilled in writing fiction, but conveying it in a video format is another matter entirely.
The video also required a lot of editing.
First all the stock video had to be put together.
But then the video also needed a lot of really finicky special effects editing, and that is not something I have the patience to pull off effectively.
This last video may be the worst one I have made, so much so that it prompted me to write this article.
But at least now I know what not to make in the future!
Want to get a heads up when I've actually managed to make a good YouTube video?
Then sign up for my monthly newsletter!
At the end of each month, I'll send you an email with my best articles from that month. And when I've made a video I'm really proud of, it will be included!

"One in 5 women, and one in 16 men, are sexually assaulted throughout their time spent in college." Those were the first words spoken by Ms. Elaine Pasqua on Thursday, February 23, as she gave a powerful and memorable presentation to every student athlete at Lesley University. A nationally-known and widely praised public speaker, Ms. Pasqua gave a program that was engaging, relatable, and informative; she was able to get across to the students the importance of learning how to prevent sexual assault, as well as how to encourage healthy relationships– which many college students do not take seriously enough in today's society.
Elaine Pasqua has been traveling the country for more than two decades, inspiring and transforming people of all ages. From high school students to pro athletes, college students and even corporations, her work over the years has motivated millions, especially collegiate athletes. Over the years, athletes have became her focus, because she says she understands the unique issues they face everyday, and the higher profile they must maintain on campus. Ms. Pasqua also noted in her presentation that while athletes are expected to hold high standards on campus, research has shown that they are also one of the groups that most frequently engages in high-risk drinking. That is exactly why she strives to educate student athletes about the risks in certain behaviors; but she does it in a way that is not judgmental. In fact, her presentation was energetic and humorous, and the athletes who attended responded well to what she said.
Elaine Pasqua has developed specific activities and stories, designed to meet the needs of student athletes. One specific activity that left a clear visual impression with the students was meant to demonstrate how easily a sexually transmitted infection (STI) can be spread. The activity involved the passing of liquids between cups of 14 students. When the activity started, only 3 students' cups contained liquid which represented an "STI," but after each student had passed their liquid on to 3 other students, the result was startling. What used to be only 3 students carrying the "STI" turned into 12, with just three students who had "clean" cups. This activity left many students in shock and really got the point across to them.
Along with engaging activities, Elaine Pasqua's presentation also included some very empowering stories. Each one highlighting and explaining a different aspect of sexual assault. Many of these stories contained elements which led her to explaining the importance of sticking together at parties and looking out for teammates at all times. Whether that means jumping into a conversation to get a friend out of a potential dangerous situation, or making sure they get home safely, she made it very clear to the audience of athletes that being a bystander is not okay.
Ms. Pasqua incorporated an amazing amount of seriousness, personal experiences, and humor to make sure there was a clear understanding of what exactly sexual assault is; the difference between sexual assault and rape; as well as the steps everyone could be taking to prevent a sexual assault from occurring. But while the subject matter of her talk was serious, Ms. Pasqua had a very optimistic attitude throughout the entire presentation, and she was extremely encouraging. Her entire presentation was centered around the idea that it is up to each and every one of the students who attended to start making a difference– not just in the Lesley community, but in the world. She also made it very clear to her audience that this presentation was not the end, that she would always be available to communicate with anybody who wanted her advice. Since Lesley University strives to be a campus that is effective in addressing and preventing sexual assault, having speakers like Elaine Pasqua is very important. It is fair to say that she left an undeniably positive impression on every student who attended her presentation.

Darwin Plagiarized Paley?
Natural selection didn't begin with Darwin, William L. Abler (Geologist, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago) claims in a letter to the editor of Nature1 Dec. 18th. According to Abler, Darwin probably got the idea from a theologian he once admired, only later to ridicule:Darwin was educated not as a biologist, but as a country vicar. Although he may have read Hutton's book, it is equally likely that Darwin read one of the standard religious works of his day (now perhaps the most ridiculed book in biology), William Paley's Natural Theology (1803), which presents Paley's proof of the existence of God, as well as of Divine creation. (Emphasis added in all quotes.)He quotes Paley as stating the principle of natural selection, only to refute it as a possible objection against design: "There is another answer which has the same effect as the resolving of things into chance," Paley writes in Chapter 5 of Natural Theology. He explains it as the proposition that…the eye, the animal to which it belongs, every plant, indeed every organized body which we can see, are only so many out of the possible varieties and combinations of being which the lapse of infinite ages has brought into existence; that the present world is the relict of that variety; millions of other bodily forms and other species having perished, being by the defect of their constitution incapable of preservation, or of continuance by generation.2Abler thinks even Darwin could not have stated the principle of natural selection better. He notes that even Stephen Jay Gould also pointed out Paley's priority, but believes natural selection (by other names) was a common heresy in Darwin's day.William L. Abler, correspondence, "What Darwin Knew," Nature 426, 759 (18 December 2003); doi:10.1038/426759b.William Paley, Archdeacon of Carlisle, Natural Theology, or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, Collected from the Appearances of Nature, 1803, ch. 5, pp. 46-48 (click title for online edition).Charlie, a plagiarist? This was interesting, so I looked up Paley's refutation in his once-honorable, classic treatise that Abler calls "now perhaps the most ridiculed book in biology." The venerable theologian offered three rebuttals to the principle now known as natural selection. (1) His first might be characterized as a straw man argument today; Paley rhetorically asks that if all possible creatures had existed, why do we not see unicorns, centaurs, etc. Darwinists might reply with their standard common-ancestry claim that natural selection would only build on patterns established early on, rather than from an infinite pool of possible forms. (2) The second argument is more interesting and still carries weight today. It's the argument from classification. If nature could produce infinite gradations between forms, why do we find all living things grouped into nested hierarchies of taxa, Paley asks:But, moreover, the division of organized substances into animals and vegetables, and the distribution and sub-distribution of each into genera and species, which distribution is not an arbitrary act of the mind, but is founded in the order which prevails in external nature, appear to me to contradict the supposition of the present world being the remains of an indefinite variety of existences; of a variety which rejects all plan. The hypothesis [i.e., natural selection] teaches, that every possible variety of being hath, at one time or other, found its way into existence (by what cause or what manner is not said), and that those which were badly formed, perished: but how or why those which survived should be cast, into regular classes, the hypothesis does not explain; or rather the hypothesis is inconsistent with this phenomenon. Ibid.,, p. 48.In other words, why are their large gaps between major kinds? The problem of gaps between living and extinct phyla was clearly understood long before Darwin. For an elaboration of this "nested hierarchy" objection to common descent, read The Biotic Message by Walter Remine. (3) The third rebuttal is an argument from analogy with machines. Paley says that no man seeing a variety of machines would think that, out of an assortment of all possible machines that might have arisen from a pool of metal, the remaining forms were "what were left from the accident, as best worth preserving…." Paley sees no difference between this and inferring natural selection instead of design in living things. Although this argument from analogy might have been rebuffed in the past, with the retort that living things are not like artificial machines, the discovery of molecular machines in the cell gives the point renewed force today (see Dec. 4 headline and embedded links in the commentary). Biologists know that protein machines are selected from a near-infinite configuration space, being determined by the sequence of amino acids of which they are composed (see 09/06/2001 headline). Yet we find these machines already functional in the most primitive life forms and highly conserved throughout the living world. Natural selection cannot be invoked before the machines of replication existed. It is time, therefore, to resurrect Paley's third argument against natural selection and speak it into 21st century terms. So two out of three objections Paley raised to selection have not been satisfactorily refuted by Darwinists, without first assuming evolution to be true (circular reasoning). It looks like Paley anticipated Darwin's case and ably refuted it in advance. So if Charlie cannot claim priority for the "discovery" of natural selection (according to popular misconception), maybe it is time to distribute the credit and blame where it is due. Thanks, Dr. Abler, for enabling us to set the record straight.(Visited 46 times, 1 visits today)FacebookTwitterPinterestSave分享0

Batman: The Telltale Series: Episode 5: City of Light picks up right where Guardian of Gotham left off: Batman is given the decision of going either to the GCPD to help out with the Children of Arkham's takeover or to deal with Two-Face burning down the Wayne family home. This final chapter was emotional, dark, and filled with ambiguous decisions players must choose for a brighter or darker future for Gotham City.
To recap: Batman feels responsible for the chaos that's going on in Gotham City. Harvey Dent has finally morphed into Two-Face after fully descending into madness. Even with the Wayne family home burned down, Bruce has to make the decision to either save his family legacy or to help out the GCPD.
In Guardian of Gotham I chose for Bruce to help out the GCPD rather than head to his house, not knowing what lay in store with Two Face. What follows is an intense action sequence of Batman fighting his way through the Children of Arkham, but despite his best efforts Police Commissioner Grogan dies from a brutal gunshot to the stomach.
Once Batman has insured the GCPD are in control once more, a call comes in that Two-Face is demanding that Bruce Wayne show up at the mansion, otherwise Harvey is threatening to kill hostages. It's up to Bruce to stall him long enough for the drones to come in and disarm the crazy mayor's guards.
During these negotiations Batman can choose to be compassionate to Harvey or further fuel his hatred towards his old friend. There's even a flashback of Bruce and Harvey where he's encouraging his friend to run for mayor. Harvey admits he wants to make a safer Gotham, but not sure he's up to the task. Bruce promises to fully fund his campaign and even tells Harvey he believes in him running for mayor.
During this point, things becomes progressively darker and deeper as it races toward the finale. I won't give away too much, but from this point forward it soon becomes clear there are disturbing elements that come into play. Alfred is kidnapped at one point by the Children of Arkham and is even tortured by his kidnappers. Child abuse is even mentioned, and even the true concepts of "revenge versus justice" are brought forward.
Players also face curve-balls when it comes to choices presented here that feel morally ambiguous. Unlike last episode, there's not always a clear right or wrong answer. Consequences are vague, but when they are clear it can leave the player wondering if they made the right decision or not. When Bruce has to talk Harvey down by either relying on their friendship or becoming harsh, it felt real the entire time. How Harvey Dent reacted relied entirely on how Bruce responded to the situation and was played out beautifully from beginning to end.
While the detective aspect of Batman has been on point throughout the series, here it felt truly polished. Players get to sort through documents, uncover hidden pieces of Lady Arkham's puzzle, and even spend some time tracking down a kidnapped Alfred. The bigger emphasis on detective sleuthing felt well fleshed out, acting as an excellent way to start tying loose strings together pertaining to the story. (Fun Fact: Batman has his own version of the VR headset. Come to think of it, I wonder if he played his own Batman VR game…?)
Technically, Telltale Games has made vast improvements, especially to the PC version, with noticeable increases in framerates and silkier quick-time action events. Even better, the combat system felt more forgiving than previous episodes. During one intense battle, I missed a few prompts, yet Batman still landed his punches without missing a beat. I'm not sure if this change was intentional or not, but having such a flexible way to manage combat was a welcome improvement considering the difficulties faced in the past.
The voice-acting was phenomenal as always, often making it hard to pull myself away during key moments. There's an organic feel to every exchange between the characters as conversations flow well with each interaction making this iteration of Batman's world feel real and authentic. Troy Baker, voicing Bruce Wayne/Batman, brings real emotion to the character. Those choosing the compassionate route with Bruce interacts with Harvey Dent (Travis Willingham) can believe the two men share years of trust and friendship. Bruce's emotion is genuine, wanting his friend to get better and overcome his demons.
The ambiance and atmosphere are also excellent, too, with washed out colors and shades of grey to show Gotham City as a place of lost hope and broken dreams. The news reporting on how Harvey's actions have killed innocent people and how everyone is losing faith in the people that run their city, with a real sense of desperation and anger. The people of Gotham City want and need a hero, but are unwilling to place their faith in officials who have failed them time and again.
Even the environments were used to tell a story and in certain cases were downright disturbing. There's one scene where Bruce has to work out a message left behind by Alfred. Batman does eventually say what happened, but through simple sound effects and key placement in the scene the small environment tells a story of hurt and abuse, hinting it went on for years and justifies the death of characters encountered earlier in the series. This small attention to detail felt brilliant in the moment, but also sobering when compared to the grand scheme of things in Gotham City.
Batman: Episode 5 City of Light is an emotionally driven finale to what's been a rocky series for Telltale games, but couldn't have ended on a better note. The climatic ending paid perfect homage to past incarnations of Batman and Bruce Wayne. There's great use of source material and history of the Dark Knight mixed in that makes for a dark, but believable tale. The final decision Batman has to make feels symbolic of what he represents as a person and the sacrifices he has to make each day as the hero of Gotham City.

Last night I visited Dhaka, via Google Earth. Here are some Pictures I took, just wanted to share with you folks.
Like everyone else I started my day paying tribute to our war heros at Savar Shahid Smriti Soudho.
Then I visited the Shahid Minar.
Paid a visit to our all powerful President cum Chief Advisor Cum Foreign Minister cum home minsiter cum defence minister cum education minister cum NGO minister cum election minister….cum..@ Bangavaban.
Then visited our national parliamnet building. I, however, didn't see anybody walking out of that building.
I looked closely the detail of this Louis Kahn classic
To be politically correct I wanted to visit Bangabandhu Shomadhi first. But probably like everything else BNP governmnet has done doliokoron of Google too. I didn't find the shomadhi at Google Earth.
Instead I visited Zia Memorial along the crescent lake on the other side of that magical bridge. This wonder bridge exists for five years, then vanishes for the next five years.
I visited Ramna with PG, BIRDEM, Shishu Park ( I wanted to meet all the senior citizen), Museum.
I went through Sat Rastar matha.
I then visited the hub of bangladesh politics, The Paltan Maidan beside stadiums. Lower right is Bangavaban and upper left is secretariate.
Also not too far from Paltan is that house on Nazimuddin Road. You don't want to stay there. Ask Ershad why not.
Dhaka Cantonment with the lavisgh 18 hole golf course, shenakunjo, officers club etc. All fun no work!
I tried to visit the green zone on the rt side of the Sat Masjid road and ended up in the not so green zone on the left side.
Buddhijibee smriti soudho at Rayer Bazar
Dhaka stands on the river Buriganga. Can anyone tell me what is that Oval thing ? Do you see the building with the stairs, Ahsan Manjil?
A huge structure possibly near Fatullah. Can anyone tell me what is this?
Kamla Pur railway station. Wasn't it Asia's biggest train station?
Lalbagh Kella. Oncve upon a time it used to protect Dhaka from all the invasions. Now the fort itself being engulfed by an invading Dhaka.
The greenery near Mirpur Section # 2. Our politicians should be residing there, but at this moment other species live here.
The grand canyon of Dhaka, Ashulia Savar Road.
Fantassy Kingdom.
I made sure I didn't go to meet anyone in Shudha Shadan or the Cantonment.
Overall it was fantastic day.

Changing with the times key to Limerick Chronicle thriving for 250 years
Ireland's longest running paper has overcome many challenges since its tentative first steps in 1768
Pupils from St Michael's National school looking at Limerick Chronicle papers from 1931 and below, the front page from October 27, 1910
THE story of the Limerick Chronicle spans two and a half centuries. The journal founded in 1768 by Limerickman John Ferrar, a prominent bookseller and printer, is still the longest running newspaper in Ireland.
Although it was believed for about 100 years that the Chronicle was founded in 1766, this was disproven in the last decade with the discovery of early issues of the paper. These prove, once and for all, that it began its journey in August 1768.
Unfortunately, the first issue is missing from the collection, now held at the University of Limerick. However, the second and subsequent issues are viewable online at the UL Special Collections website.
Originally, the Chronicle offices and printing works were located in Quay Lane off Nicholas Street in the heart of King's Island. Within a few years, Ferrar had moved shop a short distance away to the corner of Mary Street and Bridge Street.
The early newspapers advertised this location as "within two doors of the Exchange". The Exchange house the city's covered market and council chamber.
The move to this new location was advantageous on many levels as Mary Street was at the time one of the principal thoroughfares in the city as the development at Newtownpery was in its infancy. The Exchange was still the centre of business within the city.
Ferrar pre-empted any begrudgery to his endeavour by announcing in his second issue, dated August 15, 1768:
"The public will be pleased to consider, that the Business the Proprietor has undertaken, requires some Experience and the closest Attention, he therefore hopes for their candid indulgences, and that they will not hastily condemn him, for any little Defect in the compiling, or trifling Error in the Print.
"If at any Time, this Paper should be late in the Publication, he hopes the Variety of Matter will make amends for the Delay, and he assures them it shall be his particular Study and chief Pleasure, to improve his infant Plan, and to give them a useful and entertaining Chronicle."
In 1781, Ferrar's son-in-law Andrew Watson took over as owner and the family legacy continued down the Watson line until 1856. John Bassett was the proprietor from 1856 to 1862, when his widow continued in partnership with Hosford until 1874, when Hosford took over. After this, the names of the owners do not appear in print.
Ferrar did not retire completely; instead, he returned to writing.
In 1767, Ferrar published the first edition of "History of Limerick". This book became the foundation stone on which much of what we know of Limerick history in the early 18th century stands. In 1787, he rewrote his history of the city to include the county.
A copy of this book made its way to Pope Pius VI, who dictated a letter to John Ferrar:
"Health and the grace of God to Our worthy friend greeting. Your celebrated 'History of Limerick' written with laudable industry, has been presented to Us. We have the pleasure placed it in Our private library, where We shall often reflect on this proof of your respect for Us. Your attention to ecclesiastical affairs in past ages and the zeal with which you trace the history of your native country affords Us great delight and satisfaction.
"If there are any records or anecdotes in the archive of Rome, which may be useful to your publications, We have ordered copies of them to be transmitted to you. Hence you have a strong proof of Our earnest desire to deserve well of those who pursue the study of history and who think favourably of Us, as you have done, not only by the present of your work, but by your obliging letter. May the God of all mercy long preserve you all and fill you with the light of His ineffable grace.
"Dated at St Peter's Rome, Dec 13th, 1787, in the 13th year of our Pontificate. Callistus Marinius, Latin Secretary to his Holiness."
Ferrar also became heavily involved with education for all. In 1793, on Charlotte's Quay, he opened the Limerick United Free School for both boys and girls of all religions. He later moved to Dublin where he continued to write and fight for the improvement in the education system until his death in 1804.
The newspaper moved along with the gradual shift, geographically, for the city centre from Mary Street to Rutland street and on to O'Connell Street as the city developed.
In 1874, the Chronicle moved to the heart of the new city at 59 George Street, now O'Connell Street, where the paper was printed out of a stone outbuilding to the rear of the main building.
In its earliest incarnation the Chronicle was a staunch supporter of the Establishment though this tone changed as with its change in location and owners to a more liberal outlook.
Although newspapers were comparatively expensive in the nineteenth century and not everyone could read, the Chronicle could still claim a readership of 9,000 weekly. One copy could easily be read by upwards of ten people as coffee houses were popular where the newspapers of the day were left for customers to peruse.
It was also common for a literate member of the household to read excerpts from the paper aloud as a form of entertainment.
The reputation of the Chronicle stretched much further than Limerick. Reports from the Chronicle were reprinted as far away as Australia, keeping those who had left the confines of the city and county informed on the major happenings.
While in Limerick, the news was not just local; the citizens were kept up-to-date of events worldwide, including the comings and goings of members of the royalty and landed classes as these were the celebrities of the day.
The Chronicle was not the first newspaper to be published in Limerick; that honour goes to the Limerick Newsletter in 1716, which was followed by the Limerick Journal in 1739 and Munster Journal in 1749. The Chronicle outlasted all of these though by almost two centuries.
The Chronicle, unlike many of these other newspapers, reinvented itself with changing times, and this was the key to its survival.
In the early 1950s, the three owners of the Chronicle, Harry Pickford, Paddy FitzGibbon and Paddy Moroney went into discussion with the Limerick Leader over a possible takeover. In 1952 the Leader purchased the Chronicle for the hefty sum of £17,000.
The transfer to the Leader got off to a rocky start with the minutes of their board meeting of June 2, 1953 stating: "Disappointment has been expressed at the position relating to the Chronicle … that considering the amount costed that the return was practically negligible".
A few months later on February 2, 1954, the issue was revisited in the management and their minutes show that the "Chronicle figures showed an upward trend as also does the Leader advertising".
So the amalgamation of the Chronicle proved to be a success for the continuation of its legacy, which could have ended abruptly in 1952.
The Chronicle from its inception until 1862 was issued twice a week. That year the paper tax was abolished and on February 11, the paper began publishing three times a week – on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, a practice that continued right up to 1979, when publications reverted to one issue a week on Tuesdays.
Now we see the Chronicle migrating once more, but continuing into its 250th year.
- The Limerick Chronicle is now a free publication distributed with the Limerick Leader.
The Chronicle, Ireland's oldest continuously published paper, dates to 1768. It is now getting a new lease of life with a strong focus on local history. Our archive files are full of fascinating stories that help reveal how our predecessors lived in Limerick over the past few hundred years and the new-look Chronicle is a terrific read and a real keepsake.
We are delighted that historian and researcher Sharon Slater has joined our team and will produce some fascinating historical stories and provide expert commentary on many great old pictures.

Once we realize that our Divine nature is waiting patiently for us to claim it, we stop trying so hard to be spiritual and instead, we claim our beingness as Divine. This is not a concept; it is experiential. Although we may understand intellectually the truth that we are Divine, we still may not experientially be dwelling in this truth. Recognizing the difference is important because we can mislead ourselves into a projection of what being spiritual is about. This projection is still an overlay on reality. Reality is truth, not a subjective truth but an actual truth. The difference is known as a felt sense in the experience of touching the God within and residing there. There is no searching or seeking required, as this part of us, is always there. It may, however, be covered over by the mind's projections of reality. As we recognize the cleverness of the mind, we also begin to dismantle the untruths that are inherent in the mind's ability to project reality. When this is seen, we can deepen our experience of truth, thus being who we have always been and will always be. This is liberation.
Only you can claim your Divinity.
Are you ready to?
Yes, you are beautiful. You are powerful. You are abundant. You are Love.
When we recognize this, it grows, and we serve the world by our presence in it.

"I have experienced profound healing beyond my understanding…and most of all the increasing level of self-love I take with me is priceless.
"This class was jaw dropping!!!!! I experienced me, not the me that I think I am, but the me that is connected to all wholeness. I experienced unity as a remembering of my divinity. Truly amazing, I dropped to my knees this evening in tears of complete and utter humility. Count me in!!!!!!"
"The transmission last night was so powerful for me. It was as if my brain received a 'wash' of gold and pink liquid light – smoothing out the deep-ridged pathways that were keeping me stuck in my mind. My heart then flooded with the same light, and I could feel a heart and brain connection that I'd never experienced. THANK YOU for this. I feel tears of gratitude as I write about it."

Let's Talk About… Katie Morris, Internal Recruiter
6th September 2016
A few months ago, we recruited the newest member of our resourcing team, Katie Morris. I had a chat with Katie and she had this to say about her first impressions of the office in Kent.
"When I came in for my interview, I immediately felt comfortable in the environment. I'd worked with Fuel Card Services previously so knew what to look for in potential candidates, but this was different being on the other side of the desk being interviewed. The great part about it though was being made to feel welcome by everyone. I was greeted by a sea of smiles, an energetic workplace and lots of very busy sales people all focussed on the task. I remember meeting Rob & Matt for the first time, they're the General Manager and Assistant General Manager. They absolutely knew what they were looking for and I'm pleased to say that I fitted the bill.
Looking back over my first couple of months, the biggest highlight was recruiting my first candidate. I was really pleased that the hard work had paid off and my candidates had faith in what I was saying. I'm thrilled to be part of such a progressive, fun loving and dedicated team and I'd encourage anyone that has the will to be successful and the drive and determination to succeed in a busy sales environment to join us."
Following our chat, I put her on the spot with some of the meet the team questions…
What date did you join FCS? – "I joined on the 24th June 2016"
What made you decide to join us? – "The job itself really appealed to me and then when I walked into the office for my interview the feeling I got and the atmosphere was brilliant. Everyone was so friendly. I'd not experienced that before"
What's the best thing about working here? – "I love the job as I get to speak to different people every day, I like finding out about the journey people have been in and the people in the office are just so warm, friendly and fun too. So I guess for me it's all about the people!"
Tell me something unique about yourself… "Before I started working here I read about some of the people that work here on the careers website's meet the team section and they all have really interesting things to say, Jess has a horse that escapes, Rachel has a tattoo and Mike is a secret singer. Me, I love kickboxing! I haven't been able to get back to the club as often as I'd like since having my son but when I get chance to go, I love it!"
Katie is our internal recruiter working for the Kent office in Whitstable. If you want to become part of a great team, Katie wants to hear from you! She's recruiting for New Business Account Managers on a full and part time basis.

The school council at Manor Primary organised a day of events to raise funds for Children in Need yesterday.
Children were encouraged to dress up as Pudsey Bear, or his friend Blush Bear, on a non-uniform day and the school council awarded prizes for being best-dressed to Theo Hook, four; Grace Richardson, five; Daisy Blight, four, and Felicity Connelly, seven.
The children each donated £1 to the cause, or £1.50 per family. There was also a drawing competition, and Golden Time, a half-hour session where teachers choose a fun activity, was devoted to Children in Need too.

Remember that time we've given you a rundown on the flats that you should fall for this season? Well, it's the time early November and our motto is not just to let you stock up essential boots for fall but all-round-trendy-footwear collection. We believe that the below selection of chic choices in footwear for women not only enhances the style, but it also enhances the level of walkability.
What are the Different Types of Shoes & Footwear Brands for Girls?
Footwear shopping is not as easy as many 'shoe-noobs' would think it is. What style of shoes do I buy? What kind of outfits will they go with? How much heel is too much heel? Although we cannot answer most of those questions ourselves, here are a few questions we can help you. So in other words, if you're getting to go shoe shopping, do not forget to take a walk-through into this ultimate footwear list of shoe styles with their names. Myntra is one of the top locations in India for footwear. Do check out some of the best Myntra Coupons to make a saving on your purchase.
1. Pumps
There are casual shoes for girls, and there are ladies formal shoes, there is party wear footwear, there are date ready shoes. But the pumps are the most flexible pair of shoes for women there can ever be! Just ask yourself, what colour of shoes go with everything, and pick your self a pair of pumps in that shade!
2. Stilettos
Defined by the thin, high heel, stilettos are both a blessing and a curse to women. The shoe style is such that it can work as formal footwear for ladies and glamorous style shoes in one go! What are the types of heels that have made many a sensible woman empty her savings? Stilettos.
3. Kitten heels
A kitten heel is a short, slender heel, usually from 1.5 inches to 1.75 inches high, with a slight curve setting the heel in from the back edge of the shoe. Known to be the favourite of power packed women like Audrey Hepburn, Michelle Obama, and Hilary Clinton, these are on the top 5 list of best women formal shoes.
4. Ankle booties
A staple in most winter wardrobes around the world today, boots were not recognised as high fashion footwear until the 1970s. They could also be used as a type of formal shoes for girls.
5. Ankle Strap Heels
Also known as the women's T-strap sandal, this type of shoe was first popularized during the 1920s. The style featured a pointed toe with a strap that reached toward the ankle from the center of the toe to a flat belt circling the ankle. It's debatable if they could be considered one of the types of formal shoes.
