8800 Richmond Highway to get "do-over" public hearing
Whatever comes next for the 8800 Richmond Highway property, it'll have to wait a little bit longer. The Fairfax County Planning Commission announced last week that a second "do-over" hearing is needed to get public input on a proposal that would allow for residential construction on the site.
The new hearing, scheduled for Oct. 24, comes after a nearly four-hour planning commission hearing on 8800 Richmond Highway on July 19. That meeting featured a number of speakers sounding off on a 43-townhouse project that developers and the property owner hope to eventually build on the site.
But the townhouse proposal technically wasn't what the July hearing was about. That proposal will be handled in a parallel rezoning request sent to the county and now scheduled to go before the planning commission on Nov. 29. The July hearing was more narrowly focused on a potential change in the text of the county's comprehensive plan — a broader document that guides how the county envisions various areas to be used — that would allow for potential development at the site.
The bigger problem: Because county planners are recommending not to change the comprehensive plan, no proposed text for such an amendment was presented at the July hearing.
So instead of a decision on the amendment being made at planning commission's Sept. 13 hearing, Mount Vernon District Planning Commissioner Walter Clarke announced they'd need to take a step back.
"It has been brought to our attention because there was no planned text for the [amendment] at the [July] planning commission meeting, we need to have a new public hearing," Clarke said. "So we get to have a do-over here."
The "do over" is unusual — Lee District Planning Commissioner James Migliaccio said he didn't recall it happening during his eight years on the board. But a Fairfax County spokesman said it was necessary for the public to see what such an amendment would look like — even if county planners think the amendment is a bad idea.
"Our planning staff didn't provide revisions to the plan language in July because they are recommending that the currently adopted guidance in the plan be retained," spokesman Brian Worthy said. "However, notwithstanding this recommendation, it was later determined that draft amendment text should be available for public examination, so the county is advertising a new Planning Commission public hearing to be held after draft text is available."
The new text is expected to be available in early October, Worthy said.
The public remarks made during the July meeting will be transcribed and put on the county's webpage regarding the 8800 amendment, Clarke said. Speakers from the July meeting are welcome to testify again, or have their remarks from July added to the hearing's record, according to Clarke.
Should the planning commission vote on the amendment on Oct. 24, the Board of Supervisors would then hold their own hearing on it on Nov. 20.
Owner optimistic
Clarke and three other planning commissioners held a special meeting to walk the 8800 property in August in order to better understand what's at stake. Situated south of the Sacramento Center and north of Dogue Creek on the west side of Route 1, the property faces many challenges, including the fact that it mostly falls in the 100-year flood plain and overlaps with environmentally protected areas. For those reasons, county planners have opposed any changing the comprehensive plan to allow for residential development.
But supporters of the project say the status quo is not acceptable, and that a townhouse community can be successfully constructed on the property while at the same time remedying environmental problems caused by years of commercial and light industrial use on the 8800 property.
Pete Sitnik, who owns the property along with his brother and sister, says he's disappointed the public hearing needs to be held again. But he added that he's still fully confident that the current plan being floated for the site is the best way forward. His family, which has owned the site since the 1950s when it briefly served as an amusement park, have heard offers for the land over the years, Sitnik said. But none measured up to the proposal currently being put forward by Stanley Martin Homes.
"The future for that piece of property can be something nice," Sitnik said. "We believe that the townhomes is the right way to go."
One factor in Sitnik's favor is a broad coalition of support from nearby neighborhood associations for the townhouse proposal. Community organizations including the Mount Vernon Council of Citizens Associations, Engleside Civic Association and the Clusters at Woodlawn HOA have lined up behind the project, and supporters outnumbered opponents at the July public hearing.
"The neighbors support it, the local businesses support it, the elected officials support it," Sitnik said. "For it not to go forward would be a shame."

And we're back! Just settling back home in Ottawa following our little getaway to Lac Superior, just outside Mont Tremblant, Quebec. As the saying goes, there's no place like home… no matter what little piece of paradise you may be visiting… but we had such a wonderful time together on our family vacation.
We stayed at Elysium Suites-Sur-Lac for the first time which I can only describe as a cottage-hotel hybrid. They are essentially condos on the water with wonderful cottage like amenities. You're away from the touristy/busyness of Tremblant village but still close enough should you wish to visit, which is kind of perfect in my opinion. The views of the lake from the suites are nothing short of spectacular!
On day one, we were starved from our drive and lunch time was approaching so we decided to stop in the quaint little town of St. Jovite for a bite. We wanted to avoid the overpriced, underwhelming restaurants in the village (in my opinion) and had some great recommendations from friends for St. Jovite. The Vieux Four is where we ended up and it was lovely. They had wonderful wood fired pizzas, pastas, fabulous appetizers and much needed wine! We were so pleased, we actually re-visited for dinner another day but there were so many cute little patios and shops along the strip.
After our bellies were full, it was check-in time, so we headed to our hotel. Our suite was incredible… a 3-bedroom corner suite (they also have lofts, 1 and 2-bedrooms) equipped with kitchenettes and electric BBQs on the terrace. The 3-bedroom has two large balconies, one off the living area and one off the master bedroom with spectacular views! We were quite happy to spend this first evening on the patio taking in the views and had dinner in the condo.
Just steps away is a fabulous little market, L'Etalage Marche Gourmand with an SAQ within it, which accommodates this kind of night in very well. You can also order sandwiches and quick bites. Essentially all your food needs can be met there, whether it be prepared food or essentials to prepare your own. After dinner, we sat by one of the fire pits down by the lake with the Adirondack chairs. Lots of wood and seating available for camp fires… perfect for roasting marshmallows.
The next day was spent further exploring the grounds. They have tennis courts, a beautiful saltwater pool, a games room with foosball, complimentary usage of their paddleboats, canoes, kayaks and more! Lots of winter activities as well.
The Mont Tremblant National Park is just 10 minutes away and admission is included for free for guests of this hotel. We decided to visit one of their must-see attractions, the Diable Falls, which were just wow! The kids loved the hike up the mountain. I had no idea that this park is the oldest national park in Quebec and the largest in all of Quebec!
We spent part of one day in the Village. We toured around and took Jax on the bungee trampoline which only took 90 minutes in a line… OMG! Needless to say, I was happy to have some sangria with our lunch after that wait. Jax loved every minute of the bungee jump which was totally worth it but there was no way we were waiting in more lines after that. John and I took turns waiting in the line so we could keep Jax busy up and down the Gondola and exploring while my mom and her partner toured Hudson around. After a busy day, we were happy to leave and head back to a more peaceful setting at Elysium Sur-Le-Lac.
On our last night, we ventured 2 minutes up the road to wrap up our mini vacation at a fabulous little restaurant called Le Rustique and it did not disappoint. A beautiful log cabin with a gorgeous little patio full of string lights, super cute and it seemed to be quite the hot spot because it was absolutely packed. I suspect some travel from the Village for it and of course many of the patrons at Elysium with it being so close.
All in all, a fabulous family-friendly holiday, but an equally amazing place for adults as well. If you're wanting to learn more, visit them at http://www.tremblantelysium.com/lodging/suites-sur-lac.html and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
What hidden gems have you discovered off the beaten path? I would love to hear your vacation stories!

Technology is changing so fast I'm finding it hard to keep up! I don't yet have an Android or IPhone type mobile, but it's amazing what you can do with a fairly basic model. One innovation I heard about recently is that mobile phones are being used in Africa to send money from A to B. You do this by buying phone credit and texting that credit to the person you want to send money to. They can then cash in the credit from their phone! This is so useful in places where the only other method would be for you or someone else to physically take money and give it to the person. In Ivory Coast we occasionally sent cash via national bus companies. But sending money direct to someone's mobile phone is so much faster, easier and more secure, and the person can text you straight back that they've received it OK.
There is a translation workshop being held in southern Madagascar at the moment, and our colleagues there have been able to send funds to the teams so they can pay for their travel to the workshop. In the past they've had to do this by means of cash at the end of the previous workshop for the next. But now they can text the money just before the teams travel. This works for many areas, though of course not all parts of the country have network coverage.
Mobile phones are also increasingly being used by people to access the Bible. Lots of versions and study aids are available to download for free (try this site for instance). Translations into minority languages are now becoming more readily available to download, too. This is great news, especially for Christians in countries where printed Bibles cannot easily be bought or where it is difficult to be open about their faith. What a brilliant tool!

EDITORIAL: Privacy trumps need for cellphone surveillance
How private are your telephone conversations? It depends on what kind of phone you're using. That's a problem.
In Katz v. U.S., the 1967 "bookie in a phone booth" case, the Supreme Court ruled that no matter where a conversation occurs, it is protected from unreasonable search and seizure because of a "reasonable expectation of privacy."
And there's another law on the books -- the 1986 Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) that regulates the government's monitoring of digital communications. Law enforcement cannot, under normal circumstances, legally eavesdrop on cellphone conversations. But there's nothing to keep law enforcement from tracking your cellphone use.
Then there is also the 2001 Patriot Act, under which the FBI and the National Security Agency can subpoena cellphone records without a warrant and monitor cellphone conversations. The Patriot Act also makes it illegal for a cellphone company to publicly disclose that phone records are being investigated.
So which law covers cellphones and respects the individual's reasonable expectation of privacy now that cellphones are ubiquitous in our daily lives?
That has yet to be determined.
"The law is totally unclear," said Catherine Crump, a staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union's Speech, Privacy and Technology Project. "Even though we've all been carrying our cellphones around with us everywhere for the past decade, the law is totally out of date with respect to protecting our privacy."
"We've all" isn't hyperbole. A 2010 study by the Pew Institute found that 85 percent of adults in the United States own a cellphone. Other studies show that most people think the information stored on their cellphones is at least as private as that stored on their home computers.
"We need to be able to rely on the privacy of our cellphones and our emails the way we can rely on the privacy of our living rooms and our letters," said Neil Richards, a Washington University law professor. He is an author and internationally recognized expert on privacy, the First Amendment and information law.
That's not the case now, Mr. Richards noted, adding that our best protection at this point is what is found in the 1986 ECPA law.
The debate over how to handle cellphone information is raging, with judges and lawmakers around the country tussling over whether law enforcement officers need search warrants to mine the vast trove of information that is available.
Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and an architect of the ECPA law, is trying to remodel the law. On Thursday, Mr. Leahy's committee approved a bill that would strengthen privacy protection for email. The bill has been opposed by law enforcement officials who increasingly have used information from electronic devices as investigative tools.
First Amendment advocates, such as the ACLU, say we can't wait for the courts. They want lawmakers to begin weighing in on the matter.
A three-judge panel of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals sent chills through privacy advocates with a ruling in August that grew from a warrantless search based on GPS data that the judges said apparently was obtained with help from a phone company.
The judges' said the defendant's rights were not violated because he "did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the data given off by his voluntarily procured pay-as-you-go cellphone."
Ms. Crump said warrantless cellphone searches are a threat to our privacy that should be legislated out of existence.
"The content of someone's phone can reveal deeply private and sensitive information that has traditionally been safeguarded by the warrant process," Ms. Crump said.
The courts are unable to keep up with new technology, she added, citing the "bookie in a phone booth" case in 1967. Telephones came into common use in the 1930s, but it took decades for the law to rule that warrants were necessary to listen in on telephone conversations.
U.S. Rep. Edward Markey, D-Mass., has been pushing legislation that would increase oversight on the increasing number of requests that wireless carriers get from law enforcement agencies for customers' phone records.
Mr. Markey released a study in July of data from nine wireless carriers that revealed that they had received more than 1.3 million requests for cellphone records last year. The carriers said they release information only when ordered by subpoena or if law enforcement officials certify there is an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury.
Right now there's no guarantee of cellphone privacy. Mr. Richards said the importance of electronic technology in our lives can't be overstated, and the need to keep that information private is paramount.
"We're witnessing a social revolution that's as meaningful and on par with the industrial revolution with the changes it will make in our society," he said. Surveillance, or the mere threat of surveillance, he said, is a tactic used by tyrants and has no place in the United States.
In an article for the Texas Law Review, Mr. Richards described intellectual privacy as the protection of records of our intellectual activities, and said it is "vital to a robust culture of free expression, as it safeguards the integrity of our intellectual activities."
He argued that free speech depends on free thought, and "without free thought, the freedom to think for ourselves, to entertain ideas that others might find ridiculous or offensive, we would lack the ability to reason, much less the capacity to develop revolutionary or heretical ideas about (for instance) politics, culture, or religion," he wrote. "Engaging in these processes requires a space, physical and psychological, where we can think for ourselves without others watching or judging. Those thoughts are precious and need to be protected against intrusion."
When law enforcement authorities seek warrants for other kinds of searches, including phone taps, they must convince a judge that there's probable cause that a crime is being committed. That's not the case with cellphone records.
It should be. Get a warrant. ___

Silk Test Workbench: Option for hiding disabled steps in a Silk Test Workbench visual test
When debugging a script, it is often useful to disable scripts. At times it would be helpful to be able to "hide disabled steps". This would let you focus your debugging efforts on which steps are functional. This is especially true for more complex scripts.

Yo yo yo, TUESDAY. Anyone else think Tuesday's are harder than Monday's??? Especially when it's snowing outside, and it's warm inside, and there's Netflix and comfy clothes and ARHLKHGLHWEGLJH. All I'm sayin' is I should've been waaaaay more appreciative of snow days as a kid. 😉
Bringin' back Fifteen Favorites – woo! This is a fun lil' "personal" series to just share a whole buncha (specifically, 15) favorite current trends with y'all from time to time. Before diving right into that tho…anyone else watching The Bachelor this season??? I mentioned this on Instastories last night, but can I just say that I CANNOT with Arie and these girls?!? I'm soooo not feelin' it. I'm not a fan of him, and I'm not feelin' the girls…I just wish they had chosen Eric from Rachel's season of The Bachelorette and had HIM be The Bachelor. He would've been so good omg. OK, stepping off reality TV soapbox for the good stuff… 😉
Sequin top (Only $18, similar sequins sweatshirts/sweaters here, here, and here!) // Jeans (HIGHLY recommend these jeans – they're under $40, suuuuper comfy + flattering, slightly high-waisted – the works!) // White booties (On clearance for $32.28 – SUCH a fun statement piece!) // Gucci bag // Sunnies (less than $10 lookalikes for Celine sunglasses!) // Lippy (shade: "Evan-gelical" – currently BOGO 50%!)
- Favorite Thing to get at Trader Joe's – WOWZA. Is "everything" an acceptable answer here? Dark chocolate peanut butter cups, cheeses + dips, sourdough bread…ICYMI, there's a whole post here with my Trader Joe's shopping list.
- Favorite Brand of Workout Wear – I've never been one to be totally brand-loyal in any product category. Heck, I was always the girl just getting whatever she could scavenge from this or that clearance rack, so I couldn't afford to be picky or brand loyal really! Now I have a *few* favorite workout wear brands, depending on what kinda workout I'm doing. I've mentioned before (here + here) about favorite workout pants slash leggings in general, so those are still pretty consistent. My go-to brands are Onzie, Alo Yoga, Beyond Yoga, + Zella for more splurge-worthy pieces that I know I'll have forever for high-intensity workouts with no problemo. For other "athleisure" pieces, I hit up Burlington on the reg – they've got Nike, Adidas, Puma, etc AND other lesser-known brands that are also suuuuuper affordable, especially for a quick gym run or running errands and *looking* like you did a gym run. 😉 Marshall's is also a great place to check regularly for workout wear, too!
- Favorite Actress – Rachel McAdams, Emma Stone, Blake Lively, Jennifer Lawrence.
- Favorite Healthy Snack – Blueberries, carrots + cucumbers with lowfat ranch dressing, apple slices with peanut butter, pita chips with hummus, BoomChickaPop popcorn (my addiction), OREO Thins (they're thin, they count. 😉 )
- Favorite Buy this Week – MY GUCCI BAG. Yo…like, what? ICYMI, I set 3 reaaaaaally big goals for myself and associate each with a Gucci bag. Hit the goal, get the Gucci. This is my first true designer purchase for myself, and Lord knows I was NEVER gonna get myself a Gucci if I just had to up and buy one. Namely cos they're Expensive AF, and ain't nobody got that kinda money around here. HA. 😉 But this girl reaaaaaally wanted the Gucci. SO. I associated each bag I have my eye on with a very specific, tangible, big goal of mine. Each goal has been a goal for literally years. (Sidenote: Should I do a whole post on this Gucci goal-setting process?? Would that be interesting/helpful to any of ya with big goals + big rewards in mind? Let me know in a comment below!) So at the end of 2017, I hit the first one – and girlfriend got herself a Gucci. If you're at New York Fashion Week in February and spot a girl eating a baguette outta her Gucci bag, that would be moi. #ClassAndCarbs
- Favorite Flower – I lovelovelove roses, but they're actually not my favorite! 😉 Peonies all the way.
- Favorite Thing to do when I'm Stressed – Do my makeup and watch YouTube beauty guru videos. There's something so relaxing about playing with makeup! It's a very fun, artistic process for me, so it helps me unplug + unwind. Also YouTube just feels like whole other world most of the time, so it's like escapism at its finest. 😉 ALSO, playing piano. Any sort of musical break is the bombdotcom whenever I'm stressed. It instantly takes me to another place where I literally CAN'T think of whatever is stressing me out, so it works wonders!
- Favorite Restaurant – …the Olive Garden. Soup/Salad/Breadsticks all day, babay! Fun fact: J was a server at the Olive Garden for years when he was in college. And he KILLED IT. His personality is the *ultimate* server personality, so he always got the best tips. I mean, I'd def tip him well. 😉
- Favorite Holiday – CHRISTMAS. With Thanksgiving in a verrrrrry close second. The entire Christmas season just can't be beat. J used to be *very* staunch about not starting any Christmas festivities until Thanksgiving was officially over, in order to not "detract" from that holiday. But this past year I convinced him – it just ADDS to the holiday spirit! So now, right after Halloween, expect the ho-ho-holiday cheer at the Gwynn house. Actually, expect it on Halloween night. Neither one of us is a Halloween person, so we're cool with Hallmark Christmas classic over Halloween 3 anyday.
- Favorite Disney Princess – Tie between Ariel and Belle.
- Favorite Dinner in a Pinch – Pierogies!!!!! Or Trader Joe's potstickers or Chicken fried rice if we're up for Asian. Or freezer pizza. Or takeout. So many options!
- Favorite Way to Spend a Saturday – Waking up around 8 am to be quasi-productive (I lovelovelove cleaning on Saturday's!) with a facemask on (#multitask). Once J is awake, we're big fans of catching up on our shows, running errands together, watching a movie or playing a game together, and just relaaaaaaaxing. But being productive in there, too, always feels SO stinkin' good to end/start the week right!
- Favorite Board Game – So *technically* it's not a board game, but my brother always brings One Night Werewolf to family gatherings, and it's a BLAST. The gist – every player is assigned a "role" in the game with each hand. Some are on the "good" team – townspeople, or other helpful roles – while others are the "bad" guys – werewolves, their minions, etc. Everyone closes their eyes, and the corresponding phone app audio walks players through each move over the course of this one night. Different players roles take different actions, but since everyone's eyes are closed through this (except when it's your own turn to take action accordingly), you don't know who is who. Once each player's role has occurred, everyone opens their eyes and the timer starts – you have 5 minutes to figure out who the group collectively thinks are werewolves, and you choose one person to "kill." It's SO much fun since everyone is trying to create a good case for why they aren't who people think they are! Definitely an AWESOME party game, or great with a big group of friends.
- Favorite MAC lipsticks – Ruby Woo for the best true red (+ it's got blue undertones, which make your teeth look whiter!), Velvet Teddy for a gorgeous nude, Lady Danger for a bit of a brighter red with more orangey tones, Rebel for the prettiest plum (it's one of my faves around this time of year!).
- Favorite Things to Buy at Target – #AllTheThings. But really, I'm actually not the biggest dollar section diva around. I lovelovelove hitting all of the clearance endcaps; the key is knowing their discount cycle! If the last number ends in 6 or 8 (ie: $12.48, $17.36, etc), it's typically on Markdown #1 – usually just 15%. Final markdown typically ends in 4 (or $0.04), so use that to know whether or not it'll get another markdown before being removed from the shelf!

Shea Patterson's long winter of waiting appears to be coming to an end.
The NCAA is expected to let the Michigan quarterback know soon if he will be able to take the field for his new team in the upcoming season.
In joining Oakland, Bryant, who missed the entire 2016 season because of a suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, gives Raiders quarterback Derek Carr a dangerous receiving corps alongside Amari Cooper and Jordy Nelson. Bryant's arrival also makes slot receiver Seth Roberts a potential trade chip.
"We've been looking for a size receiver, a big receiver," said Raiders coach Jon Gruden. "He's big, he's 6-foot-4. We're looking for a fast receiver and he's fast. He runs sub 4.4. So he has size, he has speed.
The Saints have a long history of moving up in the first round to draft a player they covet. This marks the sixth time they've done it in general manager Mickey Loomis' tenure, dating to 2003.
Although the cost of two first-round picks might seem like a fortune on the surface, coach Sean Payton pointed out that the Saints hope both of the picks wind up coming late in the round, which made the value perfectly fair on their chart.
"This was one that was easy," said Payton, who made no apologies about New Orleans' aggressive trading history in the draft. "Look, these were the same questions last year when we moved our second-round pick for Alvin Kamara. And that appeared to be 'ahhh' a lot. And yet, shoot, what's our country's national debt? I mean, hopefully we're [just] talking about a late first-round pick next year."
It was clear an edge rusher was a big need for the Saints — Payton called it a "must" in each of the past two years. And he said Davenport was a player they had coveted throughout the process, dating to his impressive Senior Bowl week. Davenport was the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year with 8.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and four pass break-ups. He had 22, six and eight in his four-year college career.

Build a Digital Business Roadmap for Life Sciences
by Stephen Davies | June 17, 2016 | Submit a Comment
Over the past several years the theme of digital business generated many inquiries and engagements with our life science clients. A frequent topic of discussion was how to develop a digital roadmap. We explored a methodology in The Future of Pharma Is Digital and offered four steps to accomplish this goal.
- Step 1. Build on the urgency. Socialize the idea that the window of opportunity will not remain open forever.
- Step 2. Socialize what patient-centricity really means in digital business and IT terms.
- Step 3. Identify the current business and IT challenges associated with transitioning to digital.
- Step 4. Establish a future vision with "the drug as a link in the overall value chain."
We have now added more depth to these four steps with a comprehensive toolkit. Each of the above steps is supported by a toolkit our clients can leverage as they build a digital roadmap aligned with business vision and strategy. The toolkits are workshop based and enable interaction with business and IT leaders throughout the organization to drive your digital initiative.
Here is a summary of each toolkit
- Step 1 – A PowerPoint file containing slides that CIOs or other IT leaders can use to moderate a workshop in order to brainstorm boundary breaking digital business scenarios during a joint business-IT session. The resulting scenarios will reveal competitive threats and opportunities for growth.
- Step 2 – Instructions and a PowerPoint to moderate a workshop to envision business moments aligned with your company's digital strategy. This is a PDF version of the "Toolkit: Use Business Moments to Identify Hidden Value Opportunities for Your Enterprise." Use it for details on how to organize, present and gather results for your workshop.
- Step 3 – A PowerPoint slide deck to facilitate a strength, weakness, opportunity and threat (SWOT) discussion with your IT leadership team. The slides include a narrative to lead discussions in order to complete a collaborative SWOT exercise aligned with digital business. At the end of the workshop (or series of workshops), you will have identified your strengths and opportunities and captured ways to capitalize on these elements. Conversely, weaknesses and threats will be analyzed along with ways to neutralize the impact of a weakness or threat. Completing this exercise will be an illuminating experience for your IT leadership team.
- Step 4 – This toolkit includes a sample business outcome statement for life sciences. Use it for details on how to define and deliver to your stakeholders a business outcome statement via a 10- to 15-page presentation aligned with information captured in prior steps.
Toolkit: Build a Digital Business Roadmap for Life Sciences
Developing a digital roadmap is complex and requires engagement with business leaders across the organization. Workshops are a great opportunity to initiate these important discussions and establish IT as a leading voice during your digital journey. Contact Gartner to assist with your digital roadmap.

For the past several months my meditation practice has really suffered. If I did it at all I would often fall asleep, drift away, or become unaccountably frustrated, and often all three. Then the other day I read a post on the Unlikely Mage blog about some of the things that hinder meditation, specifically 'sensual desire'. The light went on for me when I read this. Not only was I being distracted by drinking, TV, and the Internet, but also by my lusting after results.
I did a few Tarot readings for myself last night that suggested some important things not the least of which was that by lusting after results I was putting undue pressure on myself. The results would be frustration and feelings of failure. This is exactly the opposite of what the results of meditation should be.
This morning I meditated for the practice of meditating. I didn't attempt any visualizations. I didn't try any relaxation techniques involving glowing balls of light. I didn't try to control the images or impressions that flitted across my consciousness. I simply sat and breathed and felt the breath entering and exiting my nose for about half an hour. Afterward I felt great, and I still feel great several hours later.
Every once in a while I need to be reminded that the practice itself is often more important than spectacular results.

HipHopDX Premiere – Philadelphia has had its fair share of rappers who've helped define the landscape of their environment and rising Philly rapper Kur is on his way to becoming one of them.
In the new Rick Nyce-directed video for his latest single "Crack," Kur strolls through the city that raised him, rapping about the difficulties and triumphs he's endured. Throughout the visual, he features clips of other Philly rappers to show his support for the Philadelphia rap community.
Kur dropped his How It Never Was mixtape in 2015 featuring the standout banger, "I'm a Star." Immediately after the success of that project, he released Finally Happened, which showed off his unmatched motivation and work ethic.
In 2016, the rawness of his Have Not EP elicited a response from G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T who shared on Twitter, "Your truth is your greatness."
Yes @kurngb that shiiiiiiiit is fiiiiiiire… Your truth is your greatness… #HaveNots
— King Push (@PUSHA_T) April 23, 2016
That same year, Kur was a featured rapper in the BET Hip Hop Awards cypher. With additional cosigns from Timbaland and Philly rap superstar Meek Mill, Kur is confident and ready to drop his next project, which includes "Crack."
Kur is also hitting the road with Boston artist Token next week for the Between Somewhere World Tour.

Teaching reaches every corner of the country, even in areas of difficult access. However, it still has a great challenge to the sector: solve the shortage of teachers and teachers.
Last week the classes began with 1,750,000 Cubans who attend more than 10 thousand educational institutions. Only in the universities the enrollment was almost a quarter of a million young people, 28 thousand more than in the previous year. More than half a century has passed since the newly installed revolutionary government launched the national campaign that alphabetized all Cubans. Education today reaches every corner of the country, even in areas of difficult access such as the mountains of the east, where this year 261 schools will operate, some of them with only half a dozen students.
Since the 60s primary education became free and compulsory, with 100% attendance. In Cuba, going to school is a right of the child that even his parents can not violate. Nor are there many excuses because in primary, secondary and higher education you do not pay a penny of tuition and even borrow the necessary books . The university students of the field also count on the "scholarships", buildings-dormitories pertaining to the universities where they lodge without cost some.
Higher education has already graduated around 1.2 million professionals, of whom about 80,000 are doctors. Such number of university graduates has caused certain social anomalies, first the impossibility of the poor Cuban economy being able to absorb the bulk of that qualified force. On the other hand, many trades have been lost and trained manpower is lacking . However, despite everything it has been a good investment, at present the main foreign currency income of the country comes from the work of its professionals in providing services abroad.
But not everything is the color of roses in Cuban education, the shortage of teachers and professors has become a real challenge for the authorities of the sector. According to the National Bureau of Statistics, over the past 8 years more than 20,000 educators have left the classroom, some emigrating and others relocating to other activities, all in search of a better income. The Minister of Education, Ena Elsa Velázquez, informed that the deficit would be covered with the hiring of 17 thousand retirees and with the incorporation of 1000 pedagogy students . The subjects that have more lack are the Natural Sciences, Mathematics, History and English.
After the desertion of teachers there is the salary problem and the enormous responsibility and exigency that weighs on them. The average income is well below the national average and they require a huge level of dedication, in addition to teaching the classes, they must prepare them methodologically and pass self-improvement courses. The opening of self-employment has led thousands of teachers to migrate to less sacrificial and better paid jobs, such as tourism guides, where they can earn in one day what a teacher receives in a month.
The wage problem is general among state workers but in the case of educators it is against one of the greatest achievements of the Revolution and also against the national economy given that 75% of foreign exchange earnings come from the work of its professionals abroad. In addition to health personnel in 60 countries, there are engineers in Algeria, university professors in sub-Saharan Africa, teachers in the Caribbean and sports coaches all over the world. Its scientists develop novel vaccines against lung cancer or hepatitis and drugs that prevent amputations to diabetics.
The Cuban Revolution hardly developed industries, its commitment from the beginning was towards professional training. Today it has a huge reserve of university graduates, masters and doctors who are the ones who sustain the national economy . However, this quarry is not infinite, it needs to be reproduced and to achieve it, it is essential to keep the educational system in place, something that in the long run will be impossible if the teacher's desertion continues. Improving their wages and living conditions seems the only way not to kill "the goose that lays the golden eggs".

I'm new to Adobe Analytics reporting - where do I start?
Bring on the tips!
- Attribution IQ
- Server Call Usage Reporting
- Time Part Map
- Filtering out bad bots
- Transaction ID Data Sources
- Reusable Variables with Virtual Report Suite (VRS) Curation
- Table of Contents project
- Advanced Calculated Metrics
- Virtual Report Suite Context-Aware Sessions
- Engagement Scoring
- Custom templates
- Integrations: Advertising Analytics (integrating search engine data)
- Integrations: Audience Analytics (integrating AAM data)
- Integrations: Analytics for Target (A4T)
- A list of all our Spark resources
Attribution IQ (released July '18) brings 10 rules-based attribution models to Analysis Workspace to help you quantify the value of your marketing efforts & beyond. The new models include U-shape, J-shape, inverse-J, same touch, custom starter/player/closer and time decay, in addition to existing models of first, last, linear, and participation. Attribution IQ can not only be applied to marketing channels & campaigns, but nearly any dimension (eVar or prop) collected in Analytics and requires no new implementation.
- A new Attribution panel has been added to Analysis Workspace, that allows you to compare attribution models across a dimension & metric of your choosing.
- You can also adjust attribution directly in freeform table metric columns. This allows you to change attribution on-the-fly, and compare models side-by-side within a table. (see video below)
- Attribution models will also be available in the calculated metric builder. Calculated metrics allow you to create a metric that use 1 or many attribution models; for example, you can create an assist ratio that divides last touch by first touch.
It can be difficult to stay on top of your organization's server call consumption, leading to frustration around overages. Server Call usage reporting (released Jul '18) makes it possible for you to track exactly how much of your server call commitment you've used at any time point in time, and will also proactively alert you when you are approaching your total commitment. The accompanying dashboard allows you to analyze where your server calls are being used, so you can fix runaway implementations or work with colleagues to scale back in places where large volumes of less-valuable data might be getting collected.
We added Time Part dimensions to Analysis Workspace out of the box. While the dimensions by themselves are informative, it's not always easy making sense of the different data points, e.g. time of day, day of week, etc. In Analysis Workspace, you can bring in these dimensions as a cross-tab table, and then visualize the data with just conditional formatting.
In the world of bots, there are good bots and bad bots. Good bots are things like feed fetchers, search engines, data crawlers and monitoring bots. Bad bots include impersonators, scrapers, hacker tools, and spammers. With our out-of-the-box IAB bot filtering & custom bot rules, you can take care of the good bots. But what about the bad bots? We conducted an analysis across a set of anonymized retail datasets and determined that bad bots account for <5% of total hits, but have a more significant impact as you move down funnel to product detail pages.
We also found that 75% of bad bots could be filtered from your data through a very simple bot segment definition:
We also recommend applying this segment + any other junk data segments to a virtual report suite, and sharing that to your end users. That way, if you ever have new bots that are identified or issues with your tagging, your segments can be updated and end users are none-the-wiser.
If you want to take bot filtering even further, the Hit Governor plugin is another option. It tracks the total number of Analytics image requests sent during a predefined rolling timeframe, and can perform additional logic as required if the that total exceeds a certain threshold. This can help you reduce server calls from inactionable data & drive improved trust in the data. Learn more.
Transaction ID Data Sources help you to connect an online experience that finished offline. With this solution, you can integrate offline data in Adobe Analytics, and fully tie that data to the online visitor profile you've collected. This level of integration allows uploaded events to be treated just like they were collected on the page. For example, you can use uploaded events in visitor segmentation, such as show me visitors that did offline event X. Use this to integrate offline CRM data from Salesforce or any other backend database that contains additional data points about an online lead.
As analysts, many questions that we get are adhoc in nature, and data does not need to be tracked long in order to be useful. This can cause you to run out of variables quickly. Some examples include: tracking various flash campaigns, capturing Marketing Cloud IDs for a brief debugging exercise, or measuring microsite engagement for a site that will be running for 2 weeks. With "Fluid (Reusable) Variables" set aside & Virtual Report Suite Curation, you can service these adhoc questions & create unique data views for each request, all while preserving variables.
The Workspace landing page can sometimes be unwieldy, especially if you are creating projects daily & sharing them to/from your colleagues. To help organize it at for yourself, or your end business users, create a Table of Contents project. The project can be a mix of links to other projects, or even specific panels & visualizations within other projects. Once complete, set the project as your Analytics landing page under Workspace > Project > Set as Landing Page. Or, share the project to other users & set it as their landing page (an option when sharing).
Learn how to link to a specific panel or visualization in any project, to help when building out your table of contents. Links to full projects can be created under Share > Get Link to Project.
Internal Search is one of the few ways customers tell brands exactly what they want & need. Using advanced calculated metrics, you can measure the content requests from your customers (count of internal search terms) & hold your content optimization program accountable (expect a downward trend of this count). Also, you can use the count + search term instances to better understand which content to change & what changes to make.
Virtual Report Suite Context-Aware Sessions allow you to define what constitutes a visit, so that it is meaningful to not only your analysis, but your business. By turning on report time processing, you allow Adobe to define the context of a visit at run-time, rather than pre-defining it to be 30 minutes. One use case of this functionality to is align Adobe Analytics with your CRM system, which may have a different definition of a visit, e.g. 20 minutes.
Engagement scoring is the process of assigning numerical "scores" to key digital activities. Scoring helps you understand how varying engagement levels affect conversion and customer loyalty. Scores can be setup via calculated metrics (non-permanent approach) and used throughout your analysis as a secondary success measure, and indicator of valuable revenue opportunities.
Bonus Tip: You can take engagement scoring even further by setting up processing rules to assess scores at a visitor level. Scores can then be rolled up to create High/Med/Low engagement segments for deeper analysis.
Custom templates are a great way to get users analyzing more quickly & helps to ensure they are following best practices defined by your organization. You can build in tables with the appropriate success metrics & calculations, as well as layer in visualizations to make the data come to life. End business users can then choose to start their analysis from one of the custom templates.
You can create templates that serve the sole purpose of being copied from as well. We like to call these 'Building Blocks' templates. Users can pull this template up side-by-side with a blank project, and copy visualizations & panels from it.
Advertising Analytics (released May '18) brings together search engine data from Google, Yahoo! and Bing with Analytics data, allowing you to do side-by-side analysis.
Audience Analytics (released Oct '17) enables real-time segment sharing from Audience Manager to Analytics. The integration completes the handoff between solutions, and enriches customer profiles in Analytics. Audiences can then be used throughout Analysis Workspace, in Flow, Segment Comparison, or just basic freeform analysis.
Analytics for Target (A4T) is a cross-solution integration that lets you create Target activities based on Analytics conversion metrics and audience segments. This integration lets you use Analytics reports to examine your results. If you use Analytics as the reporting source for an activity, all reporting and segmentation for that activity is based on Analytics data collection.

The baddest of the bad
When I arrived in Hong Kong it was January, 1973, I received my copy of the script and noticed my character's name was Okata. I told Bruce that wouldn't work as I am Irish, so the character's name should be "O'hara"!! Bruce said great, and the O'Hara was born. Then Bruce and I discussed the relationship between our two characters. Bruce and I were great friends who had been training partners for nearly 11 years, so the characters' relationship needed to be different than the personal relationship between Bruce and I. We determined that O'Hara was quite unlike Bruce's monk character. We decided that O'Hara would be egotistical, very tough, and nasty. O'Hara, of course, had been responsible for the death of Bruce's character's sister. This was the main reason for Bruce's character going to the competition, as he wanted to punish O'Hara for what he'd done. O'Hara was a thug type character who believed he was invincible, again, to contrast the character that Bruce was portraying. He was an intimidator, which is why he threw a board into the air and punched it, causing Bruces character to utter "Boards don't hit back".

Hackers hunt credit card details says IT Matrix
Online fraud security company says Sony hack was goldmine for cyber-criminals
One of the most lucrative things on the internet for hackers are debit and credit card details, according to Mirza Asrar Baig, CEO of online fraud protection company IT Matrix.
He says that wherever these kinds of details are stored, hackers will hunt it down, which is precisely what happened with the PlayStation Network, Qriocity network and Sony Online Entertainment hacks.
"If you remember in 2009 we had the Heartland security breach, where around 1.5 million card credentials were compromised. There will be many more. The question is not why social networking would be a target, just like in the Sony PlayStation hack, but where ever there is card data stored, that is a potential target. Any e-commerce site storing card data for repeat transactions is a good target," said Baig.
This targeting of e-commerce sites is why payment card industry data security standards (PCI DSS) are there, to ensure that adequate controls are in place where ever there is card data stored, according to Baig.
He said that the reason behind the Sony hack is also likely to be to do with pressures on business leading to a lapse in security measures or updates.
"The pace of business and accordingly the pressures on technology evolution is now in hyper speed. This is making it very difficult for CIOs to balance their work with adequate security controls. Not to compromise business deadlines, security controls end up at the back seat, the net result is exploitable vulnerabilities requiring little effort [to hack]," said Baig.
He added that organised crime, which is behind many of the hacks globally, is investing a huge amount of money and time in finding ways around security controls, profiling potential targets and making sure when they do move, they do so will full knowledge of their target.

With World Environment Day coming up on 5thJune, we're reminded that we can all do our bit to take better care of the planet. And if you're looking to get a new phone, it's always worth figuring out what to do with your old device.
Not properly disposing of your old phone could mean that it ends up in a landfill site, where it'll slowly corrode and leak out dangerous substances such as lead, nickel and mercury. Want to stop this from happening?
Well, have you thought about recycling your phone? We've got a few ideas that can not only help the environment but give your old phone a new lease of life…
Turning your old phone into a digital photo frame couldn't be easier. All it takes is a stylish stand and a free slideshow app that automatically scrolls through your pictures. Dayframe is a good one for Android handsets, while Picmatic does the same sort of thing for iPhones.
Here's a tip – don't forget to disable the screen dimming and lock features on your phone before it becomes your digital photo frame.
Security is everything. That's why using your old phone to keep on eye on your house while you're at work or on holiday is a fantastic idea.
Simply download a good webcam app (like IP Webcam on Android or Presence on iPhone), and see what your new security device sees, right from your browser. Just pop your old phone somewhere that gives you a good angle, while being discreet and out of sight.
Remember when we had mp3/mp4 players that were solely dedicated to our music? Why not bring back a forgotten trend and download your music onto your old phone, and then use Bluetooth to play it back through smart speakers at home or when you're out on the go?
You can even pop it in the car and use it as your go-to car stereo. You'll never have to worry about an incoming call disturbing your fave tune ever again.
If you've got kids, an old phone could be a great tool to keep them entertained. Before you hand it over, you'll need to make sure it's child-friendly first.
The Kid Mode app for Android is loaded with free games and videos that are both fun and educational. Win, win.
There are so many apps that let you use an old phone as an always-on alarm clock. And, if you've got a charging dock you don't use anymore, just sit it in it and keep it powered up all day round. No more freak outs because you're running late for work!
Who likes being caught out in the rain without an umbrella? The answer: no one. Luckily for you, most phones have an inbuilt barometer (phone makers use them to improve their GPS).
Just search for a barometer app, stick it up on the wall by the front door, and use it to find out what the weather's like before you head on out.
You can download all of your latest reads onto your old unused device from Apple Books or Google Play Books, or use the official Kindle app and sync your reading across multiple devices. If you're a book worm, it'll save you money and space when you're reading out and about.
Loads of radio stations broadcast online now – plus there are lots of online radio apps that you can make use of. Check them out, choose your favourites and kick back with the ones you like the most.
Baby monitors can be pricy. Why not use your old phone? An app like Dormi (Android) or Cloud Baby Monitor (iPhone) lets you know if your little one starts making noise. You can then soothe them remotely by talking to them or singing them a little ditty.
Whether you want to track your car if it has been stolen or if you're forever trying to find it in car parks – it's super easy to use your phone as a tracker to find it.
Firstly, you need to keep your old phone running on a low cost SIM only plan, and register it on 'Find my Device' (Android) or 'Find my iPhone'. Then hide it away in your car with a full battery – and that's all there is to it.
Old phones still have pretty great cameras. Put it to use by letting the kids practice on it and advance their photography skills.
Plus, if you've got the Google Photos app (Android or iOS) on the phone, the photos will be saved up in the cloud and you can even view them on your current device.
We all love a bit of VR gaming. But if you're using your current phone to get immersed in the world of VR, constantly moving in and out of the headset can get a bit tiresome.
And VR can eat up most of your battery. That's why it could be handy to use your old phone as a full time VR gadget. You'll only ever need to take it out when it's time to charge it up.
No matter how old it is, any old phone will be worth some money. Plus, most charities will be happy to take them as donations. Interested in doing a good deed? Drop into your local charity shop or check out the Oxfam recycling webpage.
And finally, you can keep your phone for emergencies. Remember - you don't need a SIM card to call 999. Therefore, you can keep it charged in a safe place and bring it out whenever you need it. Job done.
Have we persuaded you to recycle your old phone? Which one of these are you most likely to do? We can't wait to hear more in the comments below.


text: COVID-19 in Sullivan County Sullivan shifts testing focus to vulnerable population J. H. Osborne • Apr 30, 2020 at 9:00 PM firstname.lastname@example.com BLOUNTVILLE — The Sullivan County Regional Health Department won't be offering drive-thru COVID-19 testing next week, Gary Mayes, the agency's director, said Thursday afternoon. But members of the public who want a test can still call 279-2777 for an appointment to be tested through the department, Mayes said. The department's focus is now shifting to outreach to the "vulnerable population," Mayes said, by offering to provide test kits and lab costs to nursing home and assisted living facilities across the county. "We are working with our nursing homes and assisted living facilities over the next few days to coordinate testing of staff and patients," Mayes said. "However, we will continue to make appointments if folks want to call 279-2777 and arrange for a test, we'll be more than glad to accommodate them. We don't have any short-term plans for drive-thru testing. They've been hugely successful and we've gotten good feedback from our citizens. But right now we want to focus on our vulnerable population and work with the nursing homes and assisted living facilities. That's not to say we won't do drive-thru testing again. But this is where we're going to focus our resources right now." Mayes said the health department already has been working with the facilities. "We want to let them know we'll assist them if their staff members want to test their patients and residents," Mayes said. "Or if they want us to. But the health department will be providing the test kits and paying the lab costs." Earlier on Thursday, Dr. Stephen May, medical director for the health department, issued his third public health order since the pandemic began. Order No. 3 basically states Sullivan County will mirror guidelines issued by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee. Lee appeared with President Donald J. Trump on Thursday afternoon at the White House, where the president announced the federal government's initiative to focus on protecting the elderly as part of its COVID-19 response. Trump announced he would sign a proclamation designating May as "Older Americans Month" to honor the contributions made to the nation by its senior citizens, and he pledged steps are underway to "safeguard nursing homes and our most vulnerable citizens." Trump thanked Lee and praised Lee's handling of Tennessee's response at the state level, saying it is a "great job you're doing." Lee vowed Tennessee will provide testing to each of the 700 long-term facilities across the Volunteer State. Trump said the "greatest risk" from the pandemic is to "older Americans" and in response 35,000 National Guard troops have been made available to deliver crucial supplies to nursing homes and assist with disinfecting and testing efforts.

I will begin by saying that I love Christmas. There is something about
Christmas and the entire holiday season that brings out the very best in lots of people. I don't know if it is the emotional warmth that can only happen in the winter, but Christmas is something that I love year round. While the gift giving is nice, it is more of a situation where I am not in classes and I get to spend time with the people I love most.
I watch Rankin/Bass Christmas movies on occasion, all year round. There is something about stop motion Christmas themed puppetry that really gets me going. The Snow Miser, Santa, and Frosty all have the ability to warm up the subcockles of my heart and just make me happy. Even though they were filmed in the 70s, I love them as a child of the late 80s. I have gone to the time and effort to collect them over the last few years because I love them so dearly. I don't necessarily like the "classics" the best, but I certainly love them. There is something about a Burl Ives Santa that demands my love, which I supply copiously.
This post is all prompted by our kitchy touristing this weekend. The tourist trap had a great many different shops and places where people can spend their money. Well, one of the stores was a Christmas store. It had Christmas music, Christmas ornaments, fake snow made out of cotton balls, and even plastic icicles that were about 3 feet long. I was in heaven. I wandered around listening to the Christmas music and really dorkily enjoying the whole thing. Some of it was incredibly ugly, but it made me feel really nostalgic for Christmas.
Sane people are ready for summer in May. They want baseball, golf, short shorts, and tans. Apparently, while I think those things are nice, I am not of the same ilk as most people because I just really wanted to break out my 2.5 foot Christmas tree and decorate the crap out of it. My dad gets these beautiful brass ornaments every year from Baldwin. We have a hydrangea ornament and a snowflake from them. The hydrangea was a wedding gift. I am excited to go out and buy another ornament for our first Christmas as married people and celebrate that time with our families now that we're completely permanent, even though we have been together for years.
Tonight may be a night for Frosty the Snowman and the sequel when he gets married to a snow woman named Crystal.

7 Life Skills You Can Learn From Bad Managers
Anyone that has had the pleasure of working with talented, wise or hardworking Managers will know that they mentor and teach lessons that can be learned on a professional level as well as being able to apply their advice to personal life experiences.
What about unpleasant or lazy Managers?
While it's not ideal to work for someone abhorrent for a long period of time, every single person we meet has the potential to teach us something valuable (even if it's about how not to act in a situation!).
Here are some pointers to gain something valuable for working for a horrible Manager:
- Working for unethical people can teach us to make ethical choices every day. Just because someone tells you to do something, doesn't mean you can't do it in your own way (and feel good about yourself!).
- It can be worth it sometimes to persevere through a tough situation to reach an end goals or life objective.
- Just because someone is highly qualified doesn't mean they have any people skills. Emotional intelligence is also an extremely valuable asset for any company.
- Working for incompetent Managers can teach your when to practice sensibility, compassion and how certain situations made you feel and how the opposite would have been better.
- If anyone's horrible Managers were not good listeners or couldn't take a differing opinion to their own, you can learn how to frame an argument or idea so that the opposition thinks it was their notion originally.
- You can objectively see that fear clouds judgment and decision making processes first-hand. Usually a rude or incompetent Manager or Colleague isn't a bad person, they are simply afraid. Usually it's fear of failure or anything that seems like a threat to their position. When someone is acting autocratic or erratic in their decision-making, they are in fear. So it's worth considering this is most negative experiences at work and becoming more considerate and soft with them.
- Finally, bad leaders can teach you that human relationships are so much more important than business relationships, which typically power-based. In the end, the power of your colleagues as a team are so much stronger than the trivial bureaucratic power of the manager's authority, so long as your teammates harbour trust for one another.
