Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's chief executive, is something of a superstar in Japan, where he appears as the hero in a manga comic book called "The True Story of Carlos Ghosn." And that perhaps explains the sellout crowd when Mr. Ghosn appeared as a lunch speaker at the Japan Society in Manhattan on Thursday, with a talk titled The New Normal: Driving Change Through Crisis.
Mr. Ghosn, who became chief executive of Nissan in 2001 and added duties as head of Renault in 2005, told attendees that he had never seen a tougher period for the company than in the last three years. He pointed to five crises that affected the company: financial turmoil in the United States; the sovereign debt crisis in Europe; the strong yen; the March earthquake in northeastern Japan; and the recent flooding in Thailand. "How do you manage the company through that?" he said.
According to Mr. Ghosn, one of his first decisions after hearing about the Japanese earthquake was to keep the Nissan Leaf on track. The battery electric car, he said, was "the anti-crisis weapon" because it combated the company's exposure to high oil prices as well as, however infinitesimally, global warming.
Hybrids, plug-in hybrids and battery electrics are all part of the solution, Mr. Ghosn said, though he personally preferred the battery electric.
"But the batteries are still too heavy and expensive," he said. "The evolution of the battery is extremely important for development in the 21st century."
In response to a question, Mr. Ghosn said that Nissan would work to improve its position as the No. 3 Japanese automaker in the United States, behind Toyota and Honda, but that the company's strongest push would be happening in emerging markets.
"I don't think we face overcapacity in the developing world, though we could have it in the developed world," he said. Sales in China may slow, he said, but continued demand for passenger cars, despite a lottery system that prevents some people from buying personal vehicles, ensured a continued strong market for the brand.
To reinforce his position, Mr. Ghosn said that Americans owned 800 cars for every 1,000 people, whereas in Brazil the ratio is 200 for every 1,000, China 60 for every 1,000 and India 15 for every 1,000. "How can you have over-capacity in these countries, which are now in full development?" he said.
Given the setting on Thursday, Mr. Ghosn did note that Nissan was making money "everywhere but in Japan," where profitability was hampered by the appreciating yen. He said that Japanese automakers might prefer to add new production capacity in the home country, but financial realities dictated that they have plants abroad.
Asked what he'd say in an audience with the Japanese prime minister, Mr. Ghosn said that in lieu of a laundry list of grievances, he'd simply say, "Fix the exchange rate."

Plates move because they are being rafted by
the mantle underneath. The mantle underneath
is convecting, causing the surface to move (and
thus plates to move), and the reason why the
mantle is doing this is to release the heat
from the interior of the Earth. However, since
plates are rigid (they're made of rock, after
all), they tend to catch on each-other, and don't
move until there is enough stress to break them
and cause them to shift catastrophically - an
Earthquakes produce several different types
of waves, akin to sound waves, that travel
from the point of origin of the quake. These
different waves have different strengths and
different speeds. The fastest are compression
waves, followed by shifting(back-and-forth) waves,
and finally surface rolling waves.

This next tattoo post is the one theme I would not pass for the world. The featured subject for today is no other than Batman, the great Batman. Batman may not be an alien or a mutant, but definitely, he is one bad-ass superhero which no one would not easily dare to mess up with.
Batman, even as a fictional character, is as iconic as Abraham Lincoln. He sets trend, he sets fashion, and he sets superhero standards. Whenever there is a Batman movie coming up or a movie with Batman in it, the world produce tons of products with and for him. Literally, the world becomes Gotham, where Batman thrives in every streets and in every household. To recognize the contribution of Batman to the contemporary world, we have tattoos in line for you today that feature all about Batman. When there's Batman, it is almost always you see Joker with it too since the two are kindred souls, the exact opposites, the Yin-Yang.

Enjoy the different takes of Batman in different tattoo designs and techniques we gathered for all of you guys today. If you're a true fan of the dark knight, you know that it is not all about the gadgets, the car, the costume, and the alter-ego which sets Batman as one of the most beloved character. It is the ideals and the principles that Bruce Wayne is living by that inspires people and community, acknowledging him as a true hero in all our hearts.

Ask any family with children or grandchildren what they want for the future and the almost certain answer you get is "We want the kids to have it better than we do."
If you press for further information, "better" turns out to mean economically better off and better educated, or (in many second and third world countries) free to be part of the political solutions (as opposed to being peasants and thus ignored).
Afaik, this human desire is both universal and overwhelming — adults will undergo serious hardships and severe risks to make this possible for their children. [Boat people from Haiti and Cuba demonstrate the level of risks adults will take for this goal.]
Yesterday [March 2nd], a squib in the Investor's Business Daily pointed out that the 40% efficient solar cell technology demonstrated in Dec. '07 requires iridium to manufacture. 2008 world demand for iridium was about 10% of the entire known world supply, without any going for solar energy. It follows that the 40% efficient solar cell is a technology that can't supply world energy needs.
Solar cells are thus reliant on the old 25% efficient technology — which isn't near enough to make solar energy competitive with fossil fuels. [The shortfall is about 25% of output — meaning that a 25% subsidy would be theoretically required AFTER the technology is scaled up several million times to produce significant output.]
So the solar energy effort needs tens to hundreds of billions in research money and is, thus, in the same situation as fusion power — huge research spending required for what may continue to be zero economically useful output.
The ideal situation that the green movement is aiming at is local production of locally consumed energy. This requires that the energy density of production [output per square foot of land area] be several times the energy density of consumption. {You can't use all the land area for energy production because you need some of it for other uses such as food production and normal development uses.]
This will be easiest where the density of energy consumption is lowest — which is single family residential housing. In other words, it will be possible for the middle class long before it is possible for lower income people [who live in apartments and condos with higher density of energy consumption]. And that will happen before such efforts are practical for even higher energy density uses like offices, retail space, and industrial firms.
Since it isn't practical now and likely won't be for decades [you can't command technology to come up with wholly new inventions — if we could, fusion power would be real already and there would be nothing to discuss here], the need for energy supplied to high density users makes it imperative that power transmission and distribution systems exist and be expanded. [population is expanding, as well as energy consumption per person — these are both part of the "good life" that families say is the overriding goal for their children.]
"Conservation" amounts to saying that your children won't have the chance to be better off than you are now. This is so because the rate of improvement in energy efficiency is both small [3% per year historical average in America] and not subject to huge improvements for long periods [the same problem with commanding inventions to be made occurs — breakthrough science can't be commanded, only searched for].
{Aside: expandable "green" energy sources in America amount to 1/2 of 1 percent of total energy used. That's one part in 200. Quadrupling "green" energy output won't even keep up with growth in total demand, which runs three to four percent per year due to the combination of higher population (the next generation of adults has already been born, so the barn door here can't be closed) and higher energy usage per person [higher energy usage is a prime driver of better life styles — your computers and cell phones and iPod use energy].
This brings us back to producing more energy with either fossil fuels — which requires more drilling and mining somewhere in the world [either here or in foreign nations], or else clearing the roadblocks and building more nuclear power plants.
35 new nuclear power plants by 2030 … essentially Republican John McCain's campaign platform … would be only enough to stabilize the amounts of energy produced via fossil fuels in the US and not enough to actually reduce energy from burning coal, gasoline, and natural gas at all (no matter where they are mined or drilled).
Thus, the stark policy choice is: forcing our children and grandchildren to be worse off than we are ["conservation" and lowering output and incomes per family], or throwing the greens under the political bus and building a lot more nuclear power plants [together with more transmission lines and recycling spent nuclear fuel], or burning ever more fossil fuels from ever more mines and drilling.
The current policy is akin to betting the family farm on a technological miracle invention that, after 50 years of spending tens of billions, fusion power hasn't been able to produce.
Would you prefer to bet your children's future on a miracle that likely won't happen, or would you prefer to throw the greens under the political bus and build, mine, drill anyway??

The only way for a company to avoid any offshore problems is to refrain from conducting any business offshore. This might sound like an obvious statement, but it's important to understand that, given American policies and governance, as well as the patriotic sensitivities of American citizens, there's likely to be some degree of risk in any activities or strategies that involve offshore businesses or employees.
Offshore tax havens have long been a source of conversation and concern among business owners. There are risks involved that require the counsel of an expert tax professional. Although the goal is to minimize tax impact legally, the stress and expense of poor advice can make the entire topic confusing at best, and dangerous at worst.
These days, many of the benefits of offshore strategies can often be found at home. Cheaper labor has become available via remote workers in the newly connected rural areas of countries, and booming economies abroad are beginning to command higher prices for nearly every type of product, service, or employee.
How offshore practices could be problematic for your branding
There's also a huge risk in offshore sourcing and strategic investments, when it relates to a company's brand management and reputation. In the US and any other countries whose consumers are very patriotic (or at least patriotic enough to notice where products are made and jobs created), it's wise to make sure your brand promise matches the bulk of your operations.
A great example is the controversy regarding Apple's offshore strategies. Brand damage occurs when consumers suspect a brand is using overseas labor practices that are questionable in terms of safety and civil humanity.
Offshore practices may look good on a spreadsheet and sound like an advanced and impressive strategy to enhance a company's financial gains, but the damage they can do to your brand if unethical offshore practices become generally known could very well prove counterproductive and harmful to brand equity and consumer loyalty.
If your product contains messaging that strongly emphasizes that it's built in the USA, for instance, then it would be smart to base a majority — if not 100 percent — of your employment and financial assets in the country your brand promises to benefit.
There is an implied promise in this patriotic messaging: This product is made in your country, it benefits your nation, and you will help your fellow citizens by buying it. If consumers discover the product isn't manufactured in the country after all, the primary employment isn't located within its borders, or the financial assets are not kept in the country, then you may have a brand crisis on your hands.

Cranswick Continental Foods Move to New Site in Bury
Cranswick Continental Food's have now completed the transition of all production lines and warehousing from their previous two sites in Trafford Park, Manchester to their new home in Bury.
The footprint of the new site is almost double the previous two sites combined ensuring the division now has the space to deliver future growth.
The £27m new build is sustainably designed and the entire building is a "smart" building with a sophisticated BMS (building management system) allowing everything to be measured. This means that efficiency improvements can be monitored and continually targeted.
As well as being designed to minimise environmental impacts, the new site also has improved facilities and spaces for our employees including a modern, communal canteen which has been designed to look and feel like a contemporary café.
Cranswick Continental sources products from specialist producers across Europe and beyond and brings them to the UK to process in a way that makes the products relevant to the UK consumer. The site processes olives and antipasti, and slices continental charcuterie as well as cooked meats including corned beef.
The markets the division operates in are outgrowing the total chilled foods market as consumers in the UK adopt these specialist foods into their diets. This trend together with the plans for growth at the site will continue to support the growth and development of the economy within and around Manchester.

The Magic Lantern, the musical moniker of Jamie Doe, has released a new single titled 'Holding Hands' via Hectic Eclectic Records off the album 'To The Islands'.
Born in Australia, Doe moved to the UK at an early age where he had the opportunity to meet and play alongside This Is The Kit, Rozi Plain, and Rachael Dadd while studying philosophy in Bristol. In recent years, The Magic Lantern has been expanded to include more members, marking an important step for the project's evolution. The beautiful 'Holding Hands' was originally written for voice and guitar, but Doe eventually decided to arrange it for a saxophone trio – and it was a decision that paid off, as the song manages to integrate some of Doe's influences such as improvisational jazz in a way that renders its folk harmonies richer and more compelling.
We caught up with Jamie Doe to talk about his influences, his new single, and
When did you start performing music?
I guess I first played in public when I was about 7, I had a really out there piano teacher who encouraged kids to improvise and write little tunes and then he'd organise concerts at his house for his students and their parents. The first piece I remember 'writing' and performing was called something like 'When the Giant Hurt His Thumb' – I think I just hit the keyboard with my fists – it was louder than it was melodic.
Are there any contemporary artists you really admire?
I'm very lucky to be part of an amazingly diverse community of musicians in London. We're friends as well as colleagues and we really support each other. I'm a big fan of Mancunian poet and saxophonist Alabaster Deplume, we've done a lot of touring together and what he does is honest, true and unlike anything I heard before. I love Seamus Fogerty, a great Irish singer-writer and lovely man who has just released a beautiful and quietly surprising new album. One of my favourite bands is Snowpoet – the project of Chris Hyson who plays bass with me, and jazz singer Lauren Kinsella. Their song 'If I Miss A Star' is one of my Desert Island Discs.
How do you feel your sound has evolved since you first started releasing music?
I think i've grown as an arranger and musician a lot since I first starting doing this. Experience has given me the courage to experiment more, to follow my convictions. I have also developed the ability to view my songs with a measure of independence, so I can hear other ways of doing them – that's been a great asset when it comes to recording. There is no right way, just different ones. I think i sound more like me now. I think when you start out, your brain is trying to squeeze all your influences into your work, and it takes a while to realise that you're own ideas are enough.
Can you talk about what inspired 'Holding Hands'?
I wrote 'Holding Hands' during a moment of desperation. I had been back to Australia, where I'm from, for the first time in nearly a decade. I was chasing the dying embers of something as well as looking to explore my relationship with Australia. When I got back into the bleak London mid-winter I was pretty strung out and very alone. I found himself writing this song for the person I hoped to meet – i'm singing it to them. Writing the song was as much an act of faith in their existence as a cry of frustration at where I'd washed up.
The saxophones give the track a unique, ethereal feel. What made you want to incorporate them?
I have wanted to write for voice and brass for a long time but I didn't have quite the right song. I wrote 'Holding Hands' on the guitar originally but when I was thinking about how I wanted to arrange it for the band, I happened to be listening to Bjork's first album 'Debut'. I heard 'Anchor Song' which is for voice and saxophone trio with a similar sort of cascading line that harmonises at the end of the phrase, and I had this brain flash where I suddenly heard 'Holding Hands' with saxophones, but with this big groove in the middle. It was really fun bringing it all together.
What's next for The Magic Lantern?
I'm doing a mini tour in London, Stroud and Deal from 27-29 October and then 'Holding Hands' will be out on Monday 30th, which is really exciting. I can't wait for people to hear it. The album 'To The Islands' will be out in Spring next year, all being well. All I want to do is connect with as many people as possible.

Press Release
VyStar Credit Union Completes Purchase of Tower in Downtown Jacksonville
Jacksonville, Fla. — VyStar Credit Union has completed the purchase of the tower located at 76 S. Laura Street in Downtown Jacksonville for $59 million. Colliers International Northeast Florida represented the seller, Mainstreet Capital Partners, which purchased the tower in a joint venture with CarVal Investors LLC for $31.1 million in 2015. The 23-story tower, which was built in 1989, will be rebranded as VyStar Tower.
The tower was not listed for sale when VyStar approached Mainstreet Capital Partners about the option of purchasing the building. A purchase and sale agreement was signed within three weeks of the initial meeting between the buyer and seller.
"This transaction was mutually beneficial; it saved Mainstreet and CarVal a significant investment over the long-term by eliminating the expensive lease-up process, and it provided VyStar Credit Union with a long-term office space solution to meet its growing employee base," said Chuck Diebel, Executive Vice President of Colliers International Northeast Florida. "It's also good for Downtown Jacksonville, because this move will bring several hundred employees to the area, thus supporting the broader neighborhood economy."
As a result of the purchase completion, the tower's occupancy rate is more than 90 percent. Colliers International Northeast Florida will remain as the leasing agent for the building. This transaction establishes three of the six Downtown Northbank towers with over 90 percent occupancy.
"This transaction is a win-win-win for VyStar Credit Union's members, our dedicated employees and the Downtown Jacksonville business community," said Brian E. Wolfburg, President/CEO of VyStar Credit Union. "Purchasing this tower was the most economical option to ensure our team has a strong home base from which to serve our 615,000 members across Florida. It's also a visible sign of our commitment to the Jacksonville community as a great place to live, work and play."
Mainstreet Capital Partners and CarVal Investors LLC recently completed a three-year, $2 million renovation to update the Class A office tower. In addition to mechanical and common area improvements, notable changes included the completion of a 612-space parking garage adjacent to the building, new elevator cabs, lobby improvements (including a digital directory, WiFi, modern furniture and new lighting), food and beverage options (Tossgreen restaurant, The Court Urban Food Park and outdoor patio seating), a fitness center, a tenant lounge and a conference center that can accommodate meetings for up to 28 guests.
"Employees want to work in an attractive, comfortable and convenient environment. All of the upgrades we made were in an effort to make sure the property would remain a competitive Class A office destination for many years to come," said Paul Kilgallon, President of Mainstreet Capital Partners.
Mark Kunkel, Managing Director at CarVal Investors, added, "Though we hadn't considered selling the tower this year, we were impressed by VyStar Credit Union's leadership and their commitment to making the deal work for both sides. We wish them many years of continued success in their new corporate headquarters."

Every wine region needs a hero – a high-flying winery that sets a standard for others to follow, a trail-blazer that shows what can be achieved. Te Mata became Hawke's Bay's Hero at about the same time Peter Cowley was hired as their sole winemaker in 1984.
Two years earlier, Te Mata had released the first vintage of Coleraine, a blend of red Bordeaux varieties that stunned the wine community. Few believed it was possible to make a wine of such stature in a country many have labelled as "suitable for white wines only". The company proved 1982 Coleraine was no fluke by making a wine that was at least as good the following year. Cowley faced the challenge of building on that early success and maintaining a position ahead of the many other labels that would soon follow Coleraine's lead.
Today Coleraine has cemented its status as New Zealand's most iconic wine. It's a "must have" wine for every serious wine cellar and is one of the most traded items on the secondary wine market. A complete set of 32 vintages recently fetched NZD$19,000 at a charity auction which must surely set a national record. Coleraine has set a standard against which all wines of a similar style are judged. I recently tasted two full verticals of Coleraine with 32 wines in each. Collectively, the wines were magnificent. They clearly demonstrated an ability to age well, building great complexity and retaining primary fruit flavours while gaining positive bottle development.
This Special Lifetime Achievement Award recognises Cowley's significant contribution to Hawke's Bay, and to New Zealand wine in general. Te Mata Coleraine is clearly the most distinguished wine Cowley has made but Te Mata Bullnose Syrah was one of Hawke's Bay's earlier examples that almost certainly inspired others to plant the variety. Te Mata Elston Chardonnay, now approaching its 35th vintage, demonstrates Cowley's talents were not confined to red wine.
Cowley's career as a winemaker was sparked at high school during part-time work washing dishes at an Auckland restaurant. A wine waiter at the restaurant shared his enthusiasm and leftover wine at the end of each shift. Cowley began to read about wine and hunted around for new labels to satisfy his thirst for knowledge. He completed a Bachelor of Science (Chemistry) degree at Auckland University and then the Graduate Diploma in Wine from Roseworthy College, near Adelaide. He was awarded the inaugural Hazelgrove Scholarship which involved microbiology research projects at the Australian Wine Research Institute. After a vintage at the Rouge Homme Winery in Coonawarra, under John Vickery, Cowley returned to New Zealand.
He has enjoyed a distinguished career as a wine judge at the Air New Zealand Wine Awards, The Sydney International Wine Competition, The Australian Cool Climate Wine Show and as co-chairperson at the New Zealand International Wine Show since its inception in 2005.

"Last year's assassination of the opposition politician Boris Nemtsov, however, clearly beyond Putin's limits. Could Putin have said something about Nemtsov that someone could have taken as a go-ahead to kill him? That seems impossible to me. I have never heard anything like that from Putin, even with regard to people he hates. Putin sometimes mocked Nemtsov a bit, but he tolerated him. After the assassination, Putin disappeared for a few days -- apparently, what had happened was to unexpected."

This program is ideal if you're looking for a retreat from stress or burnout, a quick getaway so that you can experience living in a mindfulness community, or refresh your healing and recovery tools. You will enjoy morning activities such as meditation, yoga, community meeting, and two hours of light community work each day. You are welcome to design the rest of your day as you like.
During this retreat, you will be staying at the New Life Foundation's accommodation. There are more than 50 clean and comfortable en-suite rooms. The rooms have a ceiling fan, bed, wardrobe, desk, and private bathroom with warm shower. A limited number of rooms with air-conditioning are available at extra cost.
New Life has two meditation halls, the Awakening Hall and the Forest Hall. The Awakening Hall looks out onto the farm and swimming pool and is located near the residential buildings and dining hall. It is open and spacious and is used for morning meeting, yoga, and creative workshops.
The forest hall is an adobe structure located on the edge of the lake and forest. It is a more intimate space, where one is surrounded by the natural sounds of the teak forest. The forest hall is used for meditation, workshops, and evening activities like films or dancing. It has a special atmosphere because it was built by New Life's residents and volunteers.
The saltwater swimming pool is a great way to cool down after a day of activities. From the pool, there is a stunning view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Night lighting means that a refreshing evening swim is possible.
There is also a steam bath on the premises which is turned on three times per week. A session in the steam bath has many healing benefits, from soothing joints and muscles, to stimulating blood flow, releasing toxins, and relaxing the mind
The dining hall is a welcoming communal space where you will be served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It has a well-stocked library, comfy couches, tea and coffee-making facilities, filtered drinking water, and free Wi-Fi in the dining hall.
There is also an adobe recreation hall, which looks out onto the lake and forest where you can relax on the sofa, play games, listen to music, dance, or have a chat in a more intimate space. Both the dining hall and the recreation hall have a fireplace to warm you up during those cool northern Thai winters.
During this retreat, you may choose from a wide range of activities such as dance, body scans, movie nights, support groups, men's and women's circles, speaker's meetings, and more. If you'd like to deepen your yoga and meditation practice, feel free to join in the afternoon sessions as well the morning sessions, or have a one-on-one session with an experienced meditation coach.
You are required to participate in the 06:30 morning activity, the 08:30 community meeting, and two hours of light work, from Monday to Friday, and one-weekend work shift. All other activities are optional.
New Life Foundation's program offers a unique opportunity to explore the many aspects of yoga, not just the asanas. Karma yoga, or community work, create sustainability for the foundation and is a wonderful way to connect. When you use mindful speech, thought, and action toward your self and others, you are also practicing yoga (the yamas and niyamas).
There will also be plenty of opportunities to meditate by yourself or with a group, an aspect of yoga that can often be overlooked (dhyana).
You can slow down even more by taking a nap, lying by the pool, or enjoying a herbal steam bath - it's all up to you! If you wish to add on extra nights as a guest or in the volunteer program (minimum 14 nights), please let New Life Foundation know. At least one-month advance reservations are recommended.
As New Life Foundation is a recovery community, all guests at New Life are required to be substance-free and alcohol-free for the duration of their stay at the foundation. New Life Foundation administers random drug and alcohol tests to all community members.
If you fail a test, have been found to be using, or in possession of contraband substances, you will be asked to leave immediately. No refunds will be issued under these circumstances. This includes not reporting doctor prescribed medications.
Activities are subject to change.
New Life Foundation is nestled among the mountains, lakes, and rice fields of northern Thailand in Chiang Rai. It has modern facilities and more than 67 acres of land, including a lake, a forest full of teak trees, rice fields, and orchards.

Lunch and dinner are usually Thai-style meals with curry, stir-fries, fresh salads, and brown rice. Breakfast is typically comprised of oatmeal, muesli, yoghurt, cereal, organic eggs, and lots of fresh fruit. Drinking water is available 24 hours, with a state-of-the-art filtration system. Please bring a refillable water bottle with you.
You can enrich your retreat experience with excursions to the White Temple, Black House, night market, and waterfalls. You may visit downtown Chiang Rai or Central Plaza on Saturdays and White Temple, Black House, waterfalls, and others on Sundays for an additional fee.

The Jian Ghomeshi saga, sordid though it is, has been fascinating on several levels as it played out over the past week or 10 days.
On the most fundamental level, there's the serious issue of violence against women. Yes, in some situations, the state does have a place in the bedrooms of the nation.
On another level, there's the potency of celebrity in the world of media and entertainment. In the lilliputian universe of Canadian radio, Ghomeshi was a giant; the women he allegedly abused were afraid to complain about him. Then there's the peril of hubris, as Ghomeshi has surely discovered. Next, there's the power of social media both to raise up and bring down those who play around with it; Ghomeshi used it to build a following and his own Facebook posting brought him down.
And, sadly, there's the cowardice -- or call it the willing complicity -- of his employer, the CBC, which knew of the allegations against its star radio host for many months, but made its inquiries so cursory that it was able to satisfy itself that Gomeshi was being forthcoming and truthful when he lied that he was the innocent victim of a vindictive jilted lover. The CBC chose to believe the lie because it feared the consequences of the truth.
The aspect I wish to consider today is something different. It is what the Ghomeshi affair tells us about the importance of investigative reporting. To many people, investigative reporting is just sensationalism for the sake of selling newspapers or attracting audiences. Those people would be wrong.
Investigative reporting is at the heart of responsible journalism. It exposes corruption, abuse of trust and criminality in secret places. It reveals truths that those in power do not want told -- in scandals ranging from Watergate in the United States to Airbus in Canada.
But investigative reporting is not easy and it is not cheap -- two reasons why there is so little of it done these days. It requires patient, time-consuming research. A single story may tie up reporters for weeks or even months. Editors and lawyers will pick over every word looking for possible libel.
The best investigative reporting in Canada today is being done by the Toronto Star. All other news organizations followed in its wake as it peeled off the layers of the Jian Ghomeshi story. (When the National Post, Globe and Mail and the CBC itself are reduced to quoting Star disclosures, you know that newspaper is on to something big.)
Rumours about Ghomeshi and issues with women began circulating in Toronto media and legal circles last spring. The Star's Kevin Donovan, with freelancer Jesse Brown, started work on the story in May, interviewing four women who claimed to have been sexually abused by Ghomeshi. None of the four had gone to the police and none was prepared at that point to let the Star publish her name. Although the Star believed the women -- they independently described similar non-consensual experiences -- the newspaper decided it would be irresponsible to run such an explosive story based on information from unnamed sources.
That changed when Ghomeshi went on Facebook last weekend to claim that he was the victim of a smear campaign. "A major Canadian media publication (referring to the Star) did due diligence but never printed a story. One assumes they recognized these attempts to recast my sexual behaviour were fabrications," he wrote.
The Facebook posting was a big mistake. His public denial and assertion prompted the Star to run the story it had been sitting on. It cited separate incidents involving four women. As the week went on, that number grew to nine. At least two agreed to be named and three filed formal complaints with the police.
The sad saga is not over yet. Police are on the case. CBC has hired investigators to find out who in the organization knew what and when they found out. Jian Ghomeshi's once bright career is in ruins. Sad is the word.
Editors' note: An earlier version of this blog post did not mention Jesse Brown, the freelance journalist who brought these allegations to the Star, by name.
Cambridge resident Geoffrey Stevens, an author and former Ottawa columnist and managing editor of the Globe and Mail, teaches political science at Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Guelph. His column appears weekly in Waterloo Regional Record and Guelph Mercury. He welcomes comments at geoffstevens[at]sympatico.ca.

Client Testimonials
Client Testimonials
Here is some of my favourite feedback from my private session clients:
"After the Tantric Yoni Massage, I felt connected and alive and PROUD. Proud to be a woman, to have my yoni and breasts, to have this shape of body. How magical and beautiful it is to be a woman. And all of us are so unique in their own way. I felt excited to go out there and shine through my femininity and be simply myself because I am perfect as I am." - October 2019
"In the past I would compare myself to other women, I would feel envy or anger because their breast would have a nice size or shape, there would be sadness within me and zero appreciation of my body and during the massage it was all coming to the surface and I was welcoming it and seeing all from a different perspective. And I realised how wrong it is, how not true. I saw my breast and could feel them and touch them. I was feeling myself as a woman and although Id known it (we all know it) it was that moment when I truly realised that femininity is not defined by breast, there is so much more and I could feel it coming from deep within. It was magical. I realised we are all connected and unique in our own way and I am not an exception. I was holding my breast and welcoming my femininity radiating from all my body and it felt like to recognise this part of me for the first time ever. THANK YOU!!" - Tantric Yoni Massage client, October 2019
"Natalie approaches you with such a caring and warm energy and you feel very comfortable and safe to open up and share all your fears, doubts, worries - simply all of you. She slowly guides you through the process and it is actually very easy to let go and release, to surrender to whatever comes up as you know she will take care of you in such a nurturing way. She has a magical power to feel you and hear you without you saying a word. She is a real gift and I am very honoured to work with her and see this amazing shift within me. Thank you! " - Michaela, Tantric Yoni Massage, October 2019
"I loved that I could be 100% myself - no judgement. After the session, I felt empowered, excited & a lust for life" - Tantric Yoni Massage client, October, 2019
"I loved that we used many different body based practices to release emotions, like the shaking and the shamanic conversation. I loved the spaciousness of having that time and not feeling rushed. I felt totally held by Natalie and trusted in her" - Life Empowerment Session client, August 2019
"After the session, I felt centred and grounded" - Life Empowerment Session client, August 2019
"I took away a feeling of freedom, surrender and lightness" - August 2019
"I loved the fun way to express my wishes in how to touch and be touched" - Bedroom Empowerment client, August 2019
"Once you take one of Natalie's Loving Present Touch classes, your mind will be forever opened to the concept and practise of receiving and giving pleasure. This is truly the sex education that we should have received in school. Natalie's warmth, love and knowledge in this arena is truly inspirational. Take the dive and jump in." - Loving Present Touch client, August 2019
"A Tantric Yoni Massage - I'm so glad I booked the whole package! What a profound journey! As I didn't have any experience before, I felt nervous, even worried what I could get from the session. What helped me to overcome my fear was a very clear communication about the whole process and our intentions and boundaries. A body relaxation meditation and warm up exercises got me into a right state of mind and I felt very safe for the rest of the session. Natalie was amazing, fully present and focused on my healing. She was gently guiding me through whatever emotions came up for me, helping me to experience and release them fully. I left the session feeling connected, awaken and loved. Since then been treating my body and yoni like never before! Thank you Natalie!!" - Michaela, July 2019
"I loved how Natalie was able to move so much energy in me. Natalie helped me navigate some very difficult times and each session I felt better and better, more in tune with myself. I am very thankful to have found Natalie and the positive impact her sessions have had in my life." - Life Empowerment Session client, December 2018
"My sessions so far have been incredibly deep and meaningful. I've ventured into parts of myself I have turned away from, and I know this is just the beginning so I'm really looking forward to exploring these more openly and authentically to see what else comes to the surface. Each time I have left Natalie, I feel stronger and more connected to myself, to this planet and to my higher purpose. Intense emotions and physical sensations came to the surface but, once they had been fully felt and cleared, I felt so much lighter and a sense of calm contentedness takes the place of tension and worry. I feel completely safe with Natalie and can see she is fully dedicated to being wholly present with me in the space; guiding just the right amount and allowing enough space for you to say and do what needs to be. Thank you" - Life Empowerment Session client, October 2018
"The sessions with Natalie are hugely beneficial and empowering! She creates safe loving space for deep emotional release and new insights. Highly recommended!" - Life Empowerment Session client, September 2018
"I approached Natalie after suffering years of PE and ED and was scared of genital touch and getting too sexually involved [with others]. After just 3 sessions, I feel so comfortable receiving genital touch from a female and I'm ready to become more sexually involved again. In the last session, I thought i was going to cum early but thanks to Natalies encouragement and me utilising the breathing techniques Natalie taught me and transferring of energy, I lasted over 40 minutes and when I came, for the first time in years, the ejaculation felt amazing." - Bedroom Empowerment client, March 2019
"I love the sessions with Natalie - each one is unique and powerful! I discover something new about myself, my emotions, my body and release what is not longer needed making space for new energies to come. Natalie is brilliant, very loving and supportive! Highly recommended!" - Life Empowerment Session client, August 2018
"It felt very safe and powerful to ask for what I wanted/needed" - Bedroom Empowerment client, August 2018
"It was a really powerful session. I did not know what to expect first, and the beginning was a little bit difficult for me because i could not connect, but finally you found the way to support me for releasing my blocked emotions and i really felt better and lighter after the session. Truly thank you and i'm very happy to recommend" - Life Empowerment Session client, August 2018
"Thank you, Natalie, from the bottom of my heart for such an incredibly nurturing and profound healing. I am walking on clouds. With love x" - Rose, Tantric Yoni Massage, July 2018
"Natalie provided a safe and loving space for me to relax into the yoni massage. She communicated what to expect clearly and guided me through beautifully. Thank you Natalie for our magical session. x" - Tantric Yoni Massage client, July 2018
"The healing sessions with Natalie are very powerful and deep. I highly recommend her - she creates her customized sessions with so much love, care, and compassion! Feeling deep gratitude for having discovered her!" - T, Life Empowerment Session client, July 2018
"Natalie holds a deeply respectful space and joins a number of approaches with skill and gentleness. We have begun a journey together and I look forward to my next session when we can pursue some of the issues that emerged last time. Thank you" - Life Empowerment Session client, July 2018
"Working with Natalie was like entering a warm non-judgemental space where all of you is welcome. You can relax and allow yourself to held." - Robert, coach, July 2018
"The sessions with Natalie are very powerful and unique, taking into considerations our particular needs and circumstances. I'm impressed how professional those sessions are and how much love and care she puts into what she is doing. I felt completely safe, accepted, understood and held emotionally. This work is indeed healing and empowering, I highly recommend it!" - Teo, July 2018
"Mind body and soul blissed out. I was able to release everything I needed and had strength to overcome my fears." - July 2018
"Natalie's work is very powerful, intense and transformative. She handled the session from a very respectful and loving place, allowing me the space to manifest all emotions that surfaced during the healing. I'm coming back for sure. Thank you Natalie." - June 2018

Rep. Lyons Blasts MBTA Deal With Chinese Firm
Oct 23, 2014 03:26PM
By Bill Gilman
State Rep. Jim Lyons, R-Andover.
On Wednesday, the MBTA Board of Directors awarded a contract to CNR Corp., a Chinese state owned corporation to produce 284 new cars at a cost of $566.6 million. According to the MBTA, the new cars will replace 32-year-old Orange Line cars and 44-year-old Red Line Cars.In an e-mail sent earlier in the week to Gov. Deval Patrick and Sec. of Transportation Richard Davey, Lyons outlined his concerns and urged the governor not to sign off on the deal. Lyons called the Chinese government a "repressive regime that respects none of the liberties that we cherish in this Commonwealth. "
Lyons, whose 18th Essex District includes a section of Tewksbury, said spending Massachusetts taxpayer dollars with a firm owned by the Chinese government "unseemly," and said the Bay State residents should not be required to "bankroll that authoritarian regime."
The vehicles will actually be built in Massachusetts. As part of the deal, CNR has promised to build a new $60 million plant in Springfield. The plant, which would serve as CNR's American headquarters, would is expected to create 250 new manufacturing and construction jobs to economically beleaguered Greater Springfield.
The entire text of Lyons' e-mail to Patrick and Davey can be seen below:
Dear Governor Patrick:
Today I write to you with respect to the $1.3 billion contract that the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority has put out to bid for new rail cars. As reported in the 10/18/2014 Boston Herald, a favored contender for this contract is Changchun Railway Vehicles Co., a subsidiary of CNR Corp., the state-owned entity of the Chinese Communist government.
I strongly caution you and the MBTA Board of Directors against granting this contract to a repressive regime that respects none of the liberties that we cherish in this Commonwealth. The hard-working families of Massachusetts should not have their scarce and precious tax dollars used in such an unseemly manner.
According to Human Rights Watch: Human rights defenders in China regularly face police harassment, house arrest, short-term detention; they are punished with so-called re-education through labor, forcible commitment to psychiatric facilities, or imprisonment on trumped-up criminal charges, often the result of forced confessions through torture.
Freedom of expression, freedom of religion, freedom of labor, and freedom from fear are some of the liberties treasured here in our Commonwealth.
Those and other natural rights are routinely ignored by the repressive government in Communist China.
Therefore, I strongly object to sending the tax dollars of our hard-working citizens to bankroll that authoritarian regime.
Surely we can do better. Let's use this opportunity to make a statement on behalf of American values, American labor, and American free enterprise. Our taxpaying families deserve no less.
Thank you.
Your truly,
James J Lyons, Jr.
State Representative
18th Essex District

The (possible) Future of Artificial Intelligence in Education
A few weeks ago, whilst meeting with a colleague for a coffee, we both received a notification from the Linkedin app on our phones suggesting that we connect with each other. This was not a coincidence; rather an example of the algorithms behind LinkedIn's networking suggestions powered by Artificial Intelligence.
We now live in a world where Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is being widely spruiked as the next frontier. In fact, just like Virtual Reality, AI has been around for quite some time. So, why so much fuss being made about AI now? AI technology has now advanced to the stage where many commentators are realising it is set to reshape how we live and work. You may read in the newspapers about chatbots and teacherbots, digital assistants, machine and deep learning and wonder what do they mean. As a School, we also ask what this will mean for the future of education.
Chatbots and Teacherbots
A chatbot in use on the Optus website. A bot is a piece of software that is designed to automate repetitive tasks, for example searching and cataloguing Web pages for search engines. Another good example of this technology are the shopping bots which pull prices of an item from different Internet sites to provide the user with a comparison. Chatbots are bots that answer a user's questions in a way that attempts to mirror a real-life conversation. These chatbots can either be simple rule-based, designed to redirect your enquiry to the relevant department before connecting you with a human operator, or more sophisticated AI-based chatbots which use machine-learning to get smarter, and more efficient, as more interactions take place. The rising popularity of digital assistants, such as Siri, Alexa and Cortana, has been lifting the both demand for chatbots and the complexity of the interactions it is possible to have with them.
What are teacherbots? Just like a chatbot, a teacherbot can be a simple rule-based or smart AI-based. Simple rule-based teacherbots can automate simple teaching tasks such as marking a multiple-choice test, technology that is already available to us as part of our Learning Management System at St Catherine's. Smarter, AI-based,
'markerbots' are being developed and used to automatically mark longer written answers, indeed their use as part of the NAPLAN essay marking process will be trialled this year. Future developments aim to create yet smarter AI-based teacherbots that can serve as a personal tutor, with companies such as Carnegie Learning, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania already offering AI based mathematics tutoring programs.
Teacherbots at Work
There are two well-known instances of teacherbot pilot projects at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland and Georgia Tech in the U.S.A.
Botty – University of Edinburgh, UK
The University of Edinburgh's teacherbot project was launched in April 2015 by Siân Bayne, professor of Digital Education. "Botty," as this teacherbot was affectionately called, was created to engage on Twitter with students of Edinburgh's e-Learning and Digital Cultures online course. Botty's primary role was to act like a teaching assistant, answering simple questions about deadlines and course content. It was also able to answer some complex questions, based on AI that had been developed on stored tweets with Twitter hashtag #edcmooc. In Botty's case, the students were aware that a teacherbot and not a human being was answering their questions.
Jill Watson – Georgia Tech, USA
Georgia Tech's teacherbot was developed by Ashok Goel, a professor of Artificial Intelligence at Georgia Tech. Typically, the 300 students at Georgia Tech's online AI course posted around 10,000 messages in online forums during a semester, many of which were repetitive in nature. Leveraging IBM Watson's technology platform and a databank of 40,000 questions and answers from past semesters, Ashok developed "Jill Watson." In this case, students were not told that Jill Watson was a teacherbot, and not a human staff member.
Jill Watson was launched in January 2016. Initially its responses were not very accurate, so responses had to be moderated by the human operators before being posted in the online forums. But by April, it had become sufficiently "intelligent" to answer the questions without any human intervention.
The Future of Artificial Intelligence in Education
The potential of AI to disrupt the education sector is immense. Alongside the development of AI powered tutors and markerbots, there are many other ways in which artificial intelligence may have an influence on the classroom. LoopLearn is a Melbourne based technology start-up that is developing a roll marking and student engagement application which uses facial recognition and machine learning to automatically record student attendance in their classes. Content Technologies, Inc. from California uses AI to create custom textbooks for individual students.
Perhaps the greatest impact of the future development of artificial intelligence technologies on education will not be because of the use of AI in the classroom, but as a result of its use in the world of work. Machine-learning and AI will have a great impact on a number of professions and careers. Many jobs which currently require employees to sift through great quantities of data, will be replaced by AI. A McKinsey's report in January 2017 went as far to suggest that up to half of today's work activities could be automated by 2055, or 20 years earlier in more extreme scenarios.
It is for this uncertain world of work that we at St Catherine's strive to prepare our students, and to do so we embrace innovative uses of technology, teaching them to be confident, competent and flexible users of the new technologies available to them and to be intellectually equipped for the technological changes ahead.

SXSW 2015: Top Takeaways for Creatives
SXSW Interactive is a hub of activity, new ideas, inspiration, and learning. Adobe was out in full force at SXSW 2015, with a two-day Creative Camp (plus additional sessions) during the conference.
The sessions we presented covered a broad range, from the future of Photoshop to creating video for social media to discussions of the creative potential in failure and inefficiency.
Two themes kept cropping up across the different sessions. First:
The pace of change continues to accelerate
New tools, new frameworks, and new ways to work or to find work—the creative world is changing faster than ever. Portfolios need to be updated regularly and new work shared. And working with different teams and across a broader range of devices is a necessity.
As Paul Trani pointed out, the fundamentals of design haven't changed. Which leads to the next big takeaway:
The ability to be creative is more important than ever
Creativity not only allows you to bring ideas to life, it's important in many other areas of life: From how to respond to challenges, to how to reach the people who will hire you, and weaving together the threads of a story you're trying to tell… all (and more) require creative thinking. Good design is more and more important to the success of not just apps or websites but entire companies.
All these things make now one of the best times ever to be a creative professional or to become one.

RELEASE: Colorado Dems' Tour: Where's Hick?
Greenwood Village, CO – The Colorado Democrats announced an end-of-cycle bus tour, and the itinerary raises a question that has recurred throughout this campaign: What does Governor John Hickenlooper really think about Jared Polis?
None of the tour's announced stops, not even the kickoff in Denver, includes Hickenlooper. Of course Democrats would downplay its significance, but Hickenlooper's absence suggests a lingering rift with Jared Polis; and that rift, in turn, speaks to the ideological chasm separating the centrist governor from his party's leftwing nominee.
Consider their history. In 2014, Gov. Hickenlooper had to plead with Congressman Polis to back down from ballot measures that would have obliterated the oil and gas industry in Colorado. This year, Hickenlooper called Polis' energy plan "pretty radical" after Polis had won the nomination. After that, his former chief of staff blasted Polis on Twitter for hypocritically lamenting money in politics while simultaneously pouring millions of his own dollars into the campaign.
Given this backstory, Hickenlooper's absence seems less likely to stem from insuperable scheduling conflicts than from the ideological distance between Hickenlooper, who has governed as a relatively pro-business moderate Democrat, and Polis, manifestly the most leftwing, extreme gubernatorial nominee in Colorado's history.
Colorado Republican Chairman Jeff Hays issued the following statement about Hickenlooper's absence from the bus tour:
"It's no coincidence that Gov. Hickenlooper is keeping his distance from Jared Polis. They belong to the same party, but Polis and Hickenlooper are on different pages when it comes to energy jobs, the feasibility of converting Colorado to one hundred percent renewable energy by 2040, and the various tax increases Polis would like to foist on Coloradans. John Hickenlooper has governed as a moderate Democrat, and Jared Polis is no John Hickenlooper."

Amy Purdy: Gorgeous In Cutout Gown At Miss America 2016
Slay, Amy Purdy, slay! The Paralympic bronze medalist showed up to judge Miss America 2016 looking absolutely spectacular in a gorgeous gown with side cutouts. Get the scoop on her look here.
Amy Purdy, 35, is giving the Miss America 2016 contestants a run for their money! As a judge for the competition, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant totally nailed the red carpet in an incredible dress that is giving us SO much style envy. Check it out here!
The 35-year-old really showed off her amazing, slender figure in the form-fitting gown, which had an embellished blue, black and white top half leading into a simple black fabric for the skirt portion. The halter top neckline and subtle side cutouts added the perfect amount of sex appeal, while also keeping the look totally classy and chic.
Amy's beauty look was totally on point, too. She curled her blonde hair and pinned it to one side, and added some bright blue eyeliner to match the hues in her dress, and completed the look with gorgeous Isharya jewelry. The pageant is taking place just weeks after Amy's wedding to Daniel Gale, and she definitely still has that newlywed glow. We love it!
Amy actually stopped by the HollywoodLife.com podcast recently, and dished to us about what it was like to have her legs amputated at 19 years old. "We did everything we could to save my legs, but I was so unstable because I had so much organ failure going on at the time, and to tell you the truth that really put things into perspective for me," she admitted. "Because I was in a way dealing with much more serious things believe it or not. I was just making it through day to day, so losing my legs, I was forced to put things into perspective. Every day, I was grateful to be alive and have another day."
Well, she's definitely living life to the fullest these days, and looking better than EVER — what an inspiring story!
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Amy's look? Are you excited to see her as a judge on Miss America?

Roughly two-dozen parishioners of various orthodox parishes gathered at Alhambra Beach in Seaford on Monday, Jan. 6 for the annual blessing of the waters in honor of the feast of Theophany.
Multiple parishes were represented. Hieromonk Nikodhim represented St. Nicholas of Jamaica Estates, V.Rev. John Klingel represented St. Andrew of Dix Hills, and V.Rev Martin Kraus represented Holy Trinity of East Meadow. The priests were joined by His Emminence Archbishop Michael (Dahulich), of the Orthodox Church in America's Diocese of New York and New Jersey.
Parishioners bundled in warm clothing for the chilly winter day and sang words of praise cheerfully.
"It was actually quite a bit warmer than usual today," said Kraus.
Orthodox Christians traditionally gather near bodies of water on this day to celebrate the baptism of Jesus Christ. The feast of Theophany and the blessing of the waters officially end the Nativity season.
"We celebrate the baptism of Christ in the Jordan River," Archbishop Michael said. "By this, He makes the water holy, and by it He makes all water holy."
The gathering and ceremony took a little less than forty minutes in total. After the timeless hymns were sung by the faithful gathered on the beach, Rev. Kraus unveiled a wooden cross tied to a string that was to be thrown into the bay three times. Children were invited up to hold the string, and a member of the congregtion, who declined to give his name, charged into the water the third time to retrieve it, as is tradition.
"Back when I was just a priest, I went to one of these in Nebraska," Archbishop Michael said as he chuckled and motioned his hand towards the water behind him. "There was ice."
