Technology has deeply involved in our businesses. Every day some new technologies invent and they become part of our business. Same like business events also depend on these technologies. Usually, business conferences, business presentations, business trade shows, business meetings include these technologies. Technology has surrounded us from everywhere, now we all fully dependent on technology. These technologies save our lot of precious time and give us more time for planning. Now I will discuss some those ways that can be very useful for everyone in business events.
Use of iPad or tablets:
IPad is a wonderful invention. It became popular very soon because of its small size, lightweight and powerful processor. Nowadays it considered that iPad or tablet is an important factor in business events. These gadgets save our lot of precious time. These gadgets are costly and everyone can't afford it but we have an option of tablet hire UAE. It is a company from which anyone can hire iPad for their business events. If we talk about their software then iPad support IOS and tablets support android software. Both work fine but it depends on you that what's your choice and what you like more,
Contingency plans for any failure:
Every business event needs some contingency plans. We should develop some contingency plans to face any uncertainty. These uncertainties can be harmful to our business events, therefore we should always ready for any uncertainty during business events. These uncertainties can be related to improper arrangements. Means the attendees in business events are higher and your seats are blown then the attendees then you have some contingency plans to handle such kind of situation. Contingency plans are the main secret to escape any failure during business events.
Mobile Hotspots for internet backup:
If you are using the laptop for your business event then it is fine because you must have the WIFI connection. But if you are using iPad or tablets for business events then you should be careful about the internet because iPad or tablets have 3g or 4g connectivity option and with the help of hotspot of these gadgets we can facilitate from internet service to our audience. Suppose you have just laptops for your business event then at least you should arrange one iPad or tablet for hotspot connection so that if any uncertainty about internet occurs during the business event then you have an option to facilitate your audience with the help of tablet or iPad hotspot connection. This is an amazing invention in internet field.
Check your hardware before business event commencement:
Always use the latest hardware in your business event and check them before business event commencement. It might be possible when your business event start and your hardware did not work properly. These are technologies and we can't fully dependent on these techniques. It might be possible when we check our hardware before business event commencement and it works fine but during the business event, it became out of order, for this situation we have made some contingency plans so we will not face any problem. One another benefit of checking hardware before business commencement is if we found any hardware issue during its checking then we will have the time or chance to replace this hardware with new hardware. This is the real benefit of hardware checking before business event working.

By Quasar to the Dirt Bike Show (Nov 06)
© Paul Blezard 2006
The Dirt Bike Show in the middle of November provided me with an excuse to go for a ride in my Quasar for the first time in two months. I didn't think the bike was actually going to start when I first hit the button on the Friday afternoon – the starter motor wouldn't even 'catch' to turn over, but just kept spinning uselessly. But just as I was going to give up after about five frustrating minutes, the old Reliant engine fired. Thinking that I might want to carry lots of bits and bobs back from the show, I fitted the brilliantly designed wrap-around panniers for the first time this year. It's a straightforward five minute job which actually took about half an hour by the time I'd got all the nuts, bolts and spanners together and drilled a new hole for an extra bolt to hold the number plate on. I wiped the rain-splattered screen before leaving and was pleased to see that the wipers still worked, but I had to stop at a garage just down the road to wipe the screen more thoroughly on both sides because in the eight weeks it had spent sitting on my forecourt it had acquired a film on the glass which made it hard to see through in the dark.
My initial journey was the usual weekend one of 30 odd miles from Ham to my girlfriend Elspeth's tower in Godalming so I stopped to fill up with LRP at Sainsbury's in Cobham and was surprised to get 18.75 litres in, which is actually a litre more than the underseat tank is supposed to hold! ( Fuel consumption was a disappointing 55mpg). The fuel gauge had been reading empty, but I thought that was because it had packed up, as it often does; within two minutes of leaving the petrol station with a full tank the needle had returned to empty again! I was also glad it had stopped raining shortly before I left home because the wipers also went on strike when I tried to clear the road spray at 80mph on the A3. At least the heater was still working, although I only felt its warm blast from the slots in the fairing when I took a glove off to re-tune my radio. (I'm tempted to put a hinge in the bottom of the engine cover which is attached to the front of the seat because I think it might allow a lot more heat into the rider area)
The back road up to Elspeth's tower must be about as tricky a tarmac route as you can do in a Quasar, especially at night. It's very narrow, steep and winding and includes two single track, 'blind' hump back bridges; and at this time of year there is so much mud washed down onto it from the steeply sided banks on either side, and so many wet leaves, that for much of its three miles it's more like a green lane than a paved section of road. I was also reminded just how sh!te the lights are on dipped beam, which has been made worse by having pumped up the rear S&W air shocks. Thankfully main beam is much better. I must re-set the light beam.
After an educational Saturday spent working on the outside of Elspeth's 130ft water tower suspended from a cradle, in perfect weather, it was a relief to see the sun come out again for Sunday's ride up to Warwickshire. The journey took longer than it should have done because I took a slow route to and through Reading, but once on the M4 I made good progress to the A34, Oxford and the M40. There was a fair amount of crosswind requiring some serious counter-steering, but it wasn't nearly as bad as what I experienced on the A1 going to the Harley launch in September. I was cruising at about 95mph, enjoying the music on my digital radio that was coming through loud and clear but I also became aware of some numbness in my hands. This is the first time I've ever experienced this problem in the Quasar, although I've suffered from it occasionally on a Honda Pan European when I was working with the Virgin Limobike. I presume it's mainly caused by engine vibration, although I still also have some vibration from the front end of the bike at speeds over 80mph. After reading of Shaun's good result from balancing his front wheel, I'm tempted to see if my front wheel would benefit from a re-balancing, even though it was supposedly balanced when the new tyre was fitted last year. On the other hand, re-fitting the panniers definitely seems to have made the Quasar less prone to 'tank-slap' at 35-45mph.
Approaching Warwick services I became aware of a couple of bikes in the distance which I gradually reeled in over the next couple of miles. They turned out to be a BMW R1200GSAdventure and a Triumph Sprint that were doing about 90mph. I gave them a regal wave as I cruised past.
Ten minutes later I was at the National Agricultural Centre, Stoneleigh, (the venue for the Dirt Bike Show) and I was able to park up right outside the main entrance. Thanks to the panniers, the Quasar was easily able to swallow my Schubert helmet and all my riding gear. No sooner had I got everything in the bike than the self-same BMW and Triumph turned up; it turned out that the Adventure rider was a guy I'd met when we both did the Cambrian Rally the month before. Tim had never seen or even head of the Quasar, but his mate Pete with the Sprint had. I couldn't resist pointing out that they each had about three times the power of the Quasar's 850 Reliant lump in the engines of their respective steeds….
Inside the show, I met its promoter Dan Sager for the first time and was amazed to discover that he was a big Quasar fan. Just as surprising, Max on the CCM stand, promoting CCM's new short track racers, reminded me that we'd met me on a ferry when I was en route to the Bol d'Or with an FF one year. (Assuming it wasn't with the Quasar in '84, it could have been with the Banana in '83, the BSAFF in' 85 or the LC350FF in '86!) Both guys said they'd go out and have a look at the Quasar before it got dark.
When the show closed I came out with a chap who'd had his YZ125/WR200 hybrid dirt bike on the TBM stand and his young son. Junior was fascinated by the Quasar.
Retracing my route back down the M40 the traffic was heavy and it was even more windy than it had been on the way up. I seemed to be struggling much more than the cars to keep the Quasar on the straight and narrow at 70-80mph, but unfortunately there were no other bikes around to compare my problems with. However, having since ridden my Burger King to Normandy in a gale, I must say that the Suzuki seemed to be less troubled by the wind than the Quasar was.
At Oxford services, with 224 miles on the odometer I could only get 16.27 litres in (= 62mpg). That's one huge advantage the Quasar has over my big scoots; the combination of its bigger tank and 50% better fuel consumption means that I can literally go twice as far between fill ups. I had a fast run down the A404 dual carriageway to Maidenhead from where I managed to navigate my way successfully down a succession of B roads to Bagshot despite my crap lights and a total lack of signage. A quick squirt down the M3, A331 and A31 and I was soon picking my way carefully through the mud and wet leaves on that treacherous back road up to Elspeth's tower.
The following morning the Quasar was rock steady through the 100mph right hander on the A3 outside Guildford and I filled up again in Cobham, simply because I wanted to mix some LRP into the unleaded that I'd put in at Oxford the night before. (I've no idea why Sainsbury's petrol stations all seem to carry LRP, but I'm damn glad they do – and they charge less for it than what some of the more expensive places demand for standard unleaded). This time it only used 7 litres for the 91 miles from Oxford, giving a respectable 59mpg.
The next day I used the Quasar for the six mile suburban spin over to Barnes where I showed it to my optician, Paul, for the first time. He's a keen biker who's owned all kinds of motorcycles from Harleys to the ill-fated Bimota Tesi stroker and currently has a modern Guzzi and a classic Commando, but he wisely commutes on a Mk1 Tmax, complete with Tucano lap cover and bolt-on screen extension. Of all the bikers who've seen my Quasar, he's the only one who's actually expressed a serious interest in riding it! I'll have to find a suitably spacious place for him to have a go in it. (Not many disused airfields in South West London, unfortunately!)
On the way back I also called in at BMG, the Piaggio scooter emporium in Sheen, where Bruce, the owner (who is also the UK Tucano Urbano importer) also had a sit in the strange roofed beast. Apparently it turned quite a few heads when I took off down the Upper Richmond Road.
I'd swapped footwear from the weekend and noticed that it was harder work changing gear in my old scooter boots than in the new motorcycle boots that I bought cheap at the Brighton burn-up. On the other hand, I had to unscrew the toe-slider on the new right boot after I found that it was catching on the Quasar's frame and interfering with my rear braking. Not a problem on many bikes, I dare say!
Altogether I added another 350 miles to the Quasar's odo reading, which has now climbed to the grand total of just 10,600 since it was first registered in November 1980!

modern boots
Yes - modern boots, with all the lumps and bumps on, are not meant for FFing. it took me a while to find some plain narrow boots for the Voyager - and even then the inside ankle has a big plastic disc on it which gets in the way.

Once upon a Time...
Before we begin, we'd love to learn more about you. Tell us why you're taking the plunge into Anna Karenina. Have you tried it in the past? Are you picking it up for the first time? Have you read other works by Tolstoy?
Comment to this post below to tell us what attracts you to the idea of reading Tolstoy's classic.
8 comments:
I have an old worn paperback copy of Anna that I've read at least twice. I especially remember first reading it one very hot summer while working as a nanny. During naptimes I would lounge on the porch reading, and the sensation of feeling the afternoon heat while reading about ice-skaters on a frosty pond in Russia has stayed with me forever.ReplyDelete
I have a copy of Anna Karenina that I bought at a booksale years ago. Now I finally have an excuse to read it! ;-)ReplyDelete
This will be my second time reading Anna Karenina. The first time, I picked it up based entirely on a minor occurrence in the wonderfully silly Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde. In those books, the main character can read herself into fiction, and a running gag in one of the books involves her constantly overhearing some Russian socialites gossiping about that scandalous Karenin woman.ReplyDelete
This time around, I'm reading to experience it as part of a group, to see how my opinions of the novel jive with everyone else's.
I started reading Anna Karenina years ago but never finished. Now I have a reason to try again. I read Middlemarch last year but didn't participate in any of the discussions. Hopefully, I will get to be part of them this time around.ReplyDelete
Read it before, want to see what it's like this time. Novels change as the reader does. Great novels usually get better as the reader ages. Reaction to first chapters is one I recall from previous reading: why is this novel titled 'Anna Karenina,' not 'Konstantin Levin?'ReplyDelete
That's a great question, David. Definitely one for our upcoming discussions!ReplyDelete
First time reading it. I stumbled on this when I was looking at another website and then realized this is NOT in KC, but want to participate anyway. I'm finishing two other books( Girl on a Train and The Beige Man) by this weekend before I fully engage and commit to this book.ReplyDelete
Great to hear from you Kimberly...I hear Girl on a Train is terrific!ReplyDelete


text: Well done to all the children that competed in tonight's Telford & Wrekin cross country event. Whether they finished 5th, 50th or 150th we are so proud of them all for completing a very challenging course. Also thank you to all the Grange Park staff that gave up their own time tonight to make this all possible. The next race will be at the Telford Hornets ground on Wednesday 26th April, hopefully we will have another amazing #TeamGP attendance.

My assumption for some time has been that whites who demand that other whites check their white privilege are simply trying to cover up their own wealth privilege, and this article confirms that.

Shared Leadership Series: Important Team Dynamics for Leaders' Attention
If we require a sense of "shared leadership" among a team of people to be effective leaders in the 21st century, as argued in part 1 of this series, it is necessary to develop and grow our team for improved performance, member satisfaction, and to ultimately ensure team viability. In line with Peter Drucker's famed quote that "culture eats strategy for breakfast," the first aspect that leaders must target is the team's culture. In the previous part (part 2) of this series, we addressed three critical team culture artifacts that leaders must emphasize for team development: psychological safety, high learning orientation, and perceptions of organizational justice.
Complete team success relies on three essential outcomes: team performance, member satisfaction, and team viability. All three rely on effective and efficient interactions between team members as they accomplish their mission and day-to-day tasks. Formally, this is referred to team dynamics. As we can see in our own lives, different personalities and ways of doing business among members can impact the team's ability to accomplish its mission and tasks; gossip and drama are often clear signs of the damaging effects of poor team dynamics. It's important to improve a team's dynamics and the processes it uses to do work. I believe leaders should focus on three important aspects of their team's dynamics: team cohesion; the use and balance of power, authority, and influence; and ensuring that team and individual member purpose, shared values, and goals are clear and consistently communicated.

Wigan Borough Environment & Heritage Network
Present: Carol Littler (Orrell History researcher), Tom Price (Civic Trust), Tom Glover (Wigan Archaeology Society), John Hesketh, Philip Butler & Zenno Vattev (L&CT), Glenys McClellan (Leigh Family History Society), John O'Neil (WMBC)
Apologies: Joe Taylor(Billinge History/Heritage Society), Rachel Orme
In attendance: Emma Scott (Community Empowerment Programme)
Minutes: Emma Scott
1. Minutes of the last meeting: Accepted as a true record, to include the alterations mentioned below.
· Need amendments to dates and spellings.
· Tom gave an update on resistivity survey so far.
2. Matters arising
Zenno asked for information to support a funding bid for schools heritage project.
22/8/07 was the date of opening bank account in bank book, however need the
date the group started-up to be given to Zenno. Need to produce projected expenditure
for the year and addresses of main contacts and one senior contact who knows
in detail what the bid is all about.
Action - Emma, Peter and Zenno to ensure bid gets all necessary inputs and signatures.
3. Heritage Project
Zenno gave an overview of what the project is aimed to do ie. Engage local people in heritage activities and investigating. Eg local groups might put a campaign together to save a local historical building.
Zenno asked who would be the main contact for the project as Joe would be out of the country whilst the funding was being considered because once it was submitted it would need someone on the group with knowledge.
4. Curating in the Community Scheme
The Civic Trust obtained funding to give awards to buildings that were of significant importance. Eg. (1) The Orchid Room (top of W. Lane) converted from some (2) Philbin's new office in Chapel Lane (matched local environment very well (3) Canon Sharples school - new design with good use of natural light and eco friendly (4) British Coal for filter beds in Whelley at side of Douglas.
Four awarded so far, eight remaining - very good bronze plaques.

Publisher's note: This is the second installment of Gene Scarborough's reviews on Ken Burn's series on the Roosevelts. The first installment can be found here.
WOW!!! I hope you made a personal copy for review at least 10 times! It is so full of more recent history. It is totally full of "history repeating itself."
It covers the Great Depression / FDR run for the Democratic nomination as President / ultimate election and Public Works projects / another Recession (brief) / the approach to WWII. If you see it and look closely, it has the personal angst of a man trying to cover his crippled condition / his new relationship with a supportive female / his wife "doing her own thing" / a battle between the Office of President a the most conservative Supreme Court.
Here is the essence of what the film says:
1. My friends, may this be the symbol of my intention to be honest and to avoid all hypocrisy or sham, to avoid all silly shutting of the eyes to the truth in this campaign. You have nominated me and I know it, and I am here to thank you for the honor.
2. Let it also be symbolic that in so doing I broke traditions. Let it be from now on the task of our Party to break foolish traditions. We will break foolish traditions and leave it to the Republican leadership, far more skilled in that art, to break promises.
3. Let us now and here highly resolve to resume the country's interrupted march along the path of real progress, of real justice, of real equality for all of our citizens, great and small. Our indomitable leader in that interrupted march is no longer with us, but there still survives today his spirit. Many of his captains, thank God, are still with us, to give us wise counsel. Let us feel that in everything we do there still lives with us, if not the body, the great indomitable, unquenchable, progressive soul of our Commander-in-Chief, Woodrow Wilson.
Franklin Roosevelt laid down his ideals for the Office of President in a few clear points. He ran quickly into criticism that he was a "Socialist / Fascist / Communist / etc. His response was that he was attempting to bring into focus and programs the ideals of the Preamble to the Constitution: "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness . . ."
He was faced with an old Supreme Court which was ready to take his programs on in light of the Constitution, itself. His response to that threat was legislation proposing the forced retirement of any Justice over age 70 (most were). His own party was not behind him, especially the Conservative Democrats of the South whose seniority in Congress gave them much power. His proposed legislation languished in committee. He lost it then, but got later legislation which brought about his goal after more wrangling through Congress.
In his words: "I lost the battle, but won the war in time!" Eternal optimism was one of the marks of FDR. It was the beginning of a Supreme Count powerful relation to law such as the enforcement of Voter Rights in the South and integration of Public Schools.
The campaign had an opponent --- first declaring FDR to be a weak and feeble man who pandered to popular opinion. His immediate response was "I face an opponent of Republican persuasion who wants EXACTLY WHAT I, AS A DEMOCRAT, am proposing to do. Have the Republicans before me fulfilled a single one of these type promises?"
He won the election in a landslide of no precedent.
The only similar election landslide has been that of Ronald Reagan. Reagan entered his office in similar turmoil: Oil Embargo / hostages in Iran becoming the focus of every newscast as Carter ran against him / a Congress determined to defeat any legislation proposed from the "outsider from the South" occupying the Oval Office / Saturday Night Live pundits focusing on brother, Billy Carter, and his southern redneck ways (remember Billy Beer). He was being turned into a Village Idiot by the media. The Iran Hostage situation was the focus --- in comparison to the Camp David Peace Conference where President Carter got the Arabs and Israelis to shake hands and smile as they signed a Peace Agreement of unprecedented nature since the Jews got the Holy Land after WWII.
President Reagan immediately began to UNDO the many social programs, financial regulation, and achievements of the 3 terms FDR served. Roosevelt was denied a possible 4th term through death and the installation of Truman, his Vice-President, to complete the term. Truman discovered the Atom Bomb was complete. He made the fateful decision to drop on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That ended the impending invasion of Japan with great loss of life to all involved.
It is still debated today, but it appears the tough choice was wise --- to start the Nuclear Age by saving American lives over taking thousands of lives of the citizens of those "melted cities."
We all know it did not end war, but resulted in the Cold War and abject fear between America Democracy and Russian Communism. The age of "limited engagement" resulted in the Korean War / Cuban Missile Crisis / Vietnam War / divided Berlin / ultimate fall of Communism under Reagan / ungodly amounts of money spent on development of war machines and space war.
I make the extended comparisons above as proof that "history is being repeated / war is hell."
I encourage everyone to view this critical series on "The Roosevelts." More episodes remain. You can get them via streamed media at --- http://video.pbs.org/program/roosevelts/

Released in early summer 2018, the American film Ocean's 8 is produced by Gary Ross. This is a spin-off of the trilogy "Ocean" by Steven Soderbergh with Ocean's 11 in 2001, Ocean's 12 in 2004 and Ocean's 13 in 2007. The cast of this original trilogy was composed of famous actors such as Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, Bernie Mac, Don Cheadle and Julia Roberts. The theme of the Ocean's films is the robbery organized by a band of friends that creates a breath taking organization to succeed.
The film Ocean's 8 is actually the female counterpart of the first Ocean's films, especially since it is directly linked in the screenplay by the main character. The brain of the robbery, is actually the sister of Danny Ocean (aka George Clonney) . Ocean's 8 is a very funny comedy film so if you like action and laughter, buy your tickets!
The main actresses of the movie Ocean's 8
Here is the totally female cast of Ocean's 8:
Sandra Bullock: Deborah Ocean
Cate Blanchett: Lou Miller
Anne Hathaway: Daphne Kluger
Helena Bonham Carter: Rose Weil
Rihanna: Nine Ball
Mindy Kaling: Amita
Awkwafina: Constance
Sarah Paulson: Tammy
Synopsis of the movie Ocean's 8
After 5 years in cell, Deborah (Debbie) Ocean gets out of jail. During her incarceration, she had a long time to think about the biggest robbery of her life: stealing the $ 150 million diamond necklace worn by Daphne Kluger during the totally VIP ceremony of the Met Gala. To succeed, Debbie needs a band of the best stingers in the United States. With her "partner in crime" friend, Lou Miller, they will recruit Amita the jeweler, Constance the scammer of New York, Tammy the recleuse, Nine Ball the hacker and Rose the fashion designer.
Just like in the original Ocean's trilogy, famous people (supermodel, actors …) make small appearances during the film, this reminder to the trilogy is very nice and gives a harmony of style.
Without wanting to reveal the plot, unlike the male trilogy Ocean, the scenario does not stop at the successful robbery made by the girls, lot of interesting twists will come after ! Because even with a great organization beautifully realized, a milimeter timing and a Plan B strategy in case of glitch : will they steal the jewel without getting caught ?
Ocean's 8 movie review
The film was well received by public and press critics! Especially since the film Ocean's 8 is timely in a feminist wave. By showing that a gang of girls is just as capable of a robbery as a gang of men (not counting post-robbery twists) and the film will surprise more than one. Even if it is only a movie, the female audience can appreciate that after a trilogy Ocean (mainly staging men decision makers with women playing only roles of love), it is women who become queens of the film.
Why number 8 for Ocean's 8?
Following the death of actor Bernie Mac on August 9, 2008 (aka Frank Catton) in the Ocean's trilogy, there was no film Ocean's 14. There was no question of replacing a pillar of the trilogy and this would have greatly disappointed the fans of Ocean's. That's why 11 years later, the saga returns to the big screen.
Especially since this year, the novelty is that the film changes angle: after three first films on Danny and his gang of robbers, it is now the turn of his little sister Debbie to take over after the death of his brother. Make way for the girl power!
The choice of this number 8 and not 14 or 10 also suggests that a new trilogy could emerge. You may have noticed, the first three films were Ocean's 11/12/13, so it is highly possible that after Ocean's 8, there is an Ocean's 9 and 10 and why not an Ocean 20 with a big male/female final ?!
Good session fuzzy! Here is the trailer of the movie Ocean's 8 below.

The depiction of a rambunctious twenty-something with a passion for poetry draws similarities to the archetypal tortured writer. A new coming-of-"Adult World" at the Tribeca Film Festival will effectively bring viewers back to that grey crossroads between youth and adulthood.
Written by Andy Cochran and directed by Scott Coffey, the petite and feisty Emma Roberts plays persistent Amy Anderson. Nobody has given Amy constructive criticism, enabling her to believe she is a better poet than she actually is. As her student loan debt accrues by the day, Amy chooses to put her money into poetry contests in hopes that she will soon get recognized and published.
Evidently fed up with Amy's shenanigans, her parents force her to seek paid employment. Amy gets a clerk job at "Adult World," the local pornographic video store where she meets some interesting characters along the way. The older and experienced John Cullum and Cloris Leachman own the store which sells everything from videos to inflatable dolls to toys. Alex (Evan Peters) is the manager that looks out for Amy yet bickers with her frequently. The film heavily relies on humor from a welcome addition to the cast — Rubia (Armando Riesco). She is a transvestite worker who is flamboyant, flashy and steals the scene every time she uses her quick witty retorts.
Amy meets author Rat Billings (John Cusack) whom she has idolized for quite some time. In a stalker-like fashion, Amy hounds the solemn and dry humored writer to become his protégé. He is forced to deal with Amy's unforgiving tenacity until they come up with an agreement. She will clean his house and instead of a paycheck, Billings will pay her in mentorship.
The film, shot in beautiful and snowy Syracuse, New York, leaves a few lingering questions. It is not explained why Amy is so oblivious of the world around her or how she possesses such a juvenile perception of intimacy and life. Still holding onto her virginity at age 23, Amy seems a little socially awkward and out of touch with reality. To exemplify said awkward moments, she criticizes customers' purchases at the video store. Roberts is a natural at showing Amy's timid but hyperactive personality.
Rubia and Billings provide most of the laugh out loud moments in response to Robert's several immature outbursts.
Only a diva and a has-been author could deal with this girl.
Cusack gives Amy a wake-up call she didn't expect (but direly needed.) It is hard to sympathize for the young poet because she has an unrelenting passion for her craft. The audience knows she will stop at nothing to get published no matter how many doors are shut in her face. As Amy and Alex carry on their banter as time progresses, what ensues will come as no surprise. They form an intimate relationship that thankfully matures Robert's character.
Even with college degrees, undergraduate and graduate students are finding it challenging to attain jobs in their prospective fields. Amy has her Bachelor's degree in poetry and must resort to using her car insurance money to enter poetry contests. Job scarcity is a very real and existing issue that is heavily presented in the film.
"Adult World" is a film that college students will relate to. It makes light of a serious problem graduates face once entering the "adult world." With humor, candid acting and a likable cast, this is a worldly film that people of all ages can take something away from.

SINGAPORE (Bloomberg) - For companies worried about a new Indonesian law requiring 10 locals to be hired for every foreigner, the government has a workaround: stock up on drivers and "office boys" to make tea.
"There is no need to be afraid," Mr Ruwiyono Septy Priharso, head of the work permit section at the manpower ministry, told an audience of mostly foreign business people at a seminar on the rules.
He suggested the quota could be filled by low-paid staff like office boys, a term that refers to mostly young men employed to do routine tasks. "They do not need to be permanent workers, but it is better if they are."
The rules, first unveiled in July, are undermining appeals by President Joko Widodo for foreign direct investment to help lift an economy growing at the slowest pace since 2009. The president, who has promised to cut red tape and is courting China to build infrastructure, may be facing a push back by trade unions worried about rising unemployment in the world's fourth-most populous nation.
The manpower regulations also require non-resident foreign company directors to obtain a work permit, a process that can take weeks and needs to be done within the country. International staff now need to get business visas in advance to attend internal meetings in Indonesia, do training or emergency jobs such as fixing machinery.
One stage in the visa process requires applicants to conduct a Skype interview with manpower officials. Priharso acknowledged that technical issues and a lack of staff were making this process difficult, causing a backlog.
"The latest regulations contradict the claims that Indonesia wants to create an FDI environment that is more attractive than its South-east Asia neighbors," said Mr Chris Wren, executive director of the British Chamber of Commerce in Indonesia.
"Some members are already planning to host regional meetings in Singapore rather than Indonesia. Some UK businesses that were considering Indonesia as a regional hub are having a re-think."
The rules follow a series of other protectionist measures and policy u-turns this year. Trade Minister Tom Lembong, a former private equity manager who has reversed some policies since his appointment in August, said the restrictions on foreigner permits and local worker quotas is "a big problem" being created by bureaucrats.
"For every one expat worker who comes in, that person creates between three and 12 jobs," Mr Lembong said in an interview last month. "You have to understand this is not coming from the president."
The government announced cuts in energy prices on Wednesday in the third installment of an economic reform package that the central bank said was helping restore confidence in rupiah and stock markets. The rupiah has strengthened 5.9 per cent this week, paring its loss this year to 10.4 per cent.
The backlash against foreign workers has come despite a shrinking number in the country. Out of a total workforce of more than 100 million, there were 54,000 registered foreigners as of August this year, down about 30 per cent from 2012, according to the manpower ministry. The largest group, numbering 13,000, are from China, it said.
Mr Joko is looking to increase Chinese investment to build railways, power stations and dams, and local media have expressed concerns about an "invasion" of foreign labour.
Citing the number of Chinese in the province of East Java, the region's government said it would force foreign workers to learn Indonesian as part of efforts to monitor them, according to a statement on its website. The manpower ministry had proposed, then quietly dropped, a similar requirement at the national level earlier this year after complaints by foreign companies and governments.
"The central government looks at the economy, but regional governments need to protect the jobs on their patch," said Mr Said Iqbal, president of the Indonesian Trade Union Confederation. "These rules are the only ones able to prevent the Chinese from coming in droves. They are a threat to Indonesian workers."
Around 43,000 workers in Indonesia lost their jobs between January and September after cuts by industries such as garments, footwear, electronics and coal, the Bisnis Indonesia newspaper reported, citing Ms Haiyani Rumondang, a director-general at the manpower ministry.
With unemployment rising as a result of the economic slowdown, the 10 Indonesians to one foreigner rule is "to ensure that companies that hire foreigners really need them," said Mr Umar Kasim, head of legal research and international conventions at the manpower ministry. "It is to have a positive effect on job creation."
Mr Joko has announced plans to scrap various rules for businesses, as part of measures to stimulate the economy. These won't include removing or amending the new manpower rules, though the government may be planning more regulations to clarify "gray areas", the manpower ministry's Mr Priharso said.
Indonesia has never had a policy of encouraging foreign professionals to work in the country and the latest rules reflect a push by labour unions against Chinese workers, said Mr Christopher Manning, an associate professor at the Australian National University who has researched labour issues in Indonesia.
Chinese labourers are coming into Indonesia along with investment from China, he said. "There is no precedent here for that. Even the Koreans doing construction don't bring blue collar workers in."

Marvel's first Muslim superhero Ms Marvel is set to join the cinematic universe
Muslim superhero Ms Marvel – aka Kamala Khan – will become a prominent figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Marvel president Kevin Feige confirmed Marvel "has plans" for the character.
The best part is that Miss Marvel is a teenage American Muslim girl of Pakistani descent named Kamala Khan.
In an interview with the BBC, Feige said that "Ms Marvel … the Muslim hero who is inspired by Captain Marvel, is definitely sort of in the works."
"We have plans for that once we've introduced Captain Marvel to the world," Feige said.
Get to know New Jersey's own Kamala Khan, our #MsMarvel, in this episode of Marvel 101: https://t.co/BIvzbi6mQN
— Marvel Entertainment (@Marvel) May 16, 2018
Khan is a teenage Pakistani-American from New Jersey who possesses the powers of shapeshifting and healing factor. The character was launched in the comic books in 2013.
Her character followed the career of Captain Marvel and went by the code name Ms. Marvel once she discovered her own abilities.
Feige did not provide any further details, but suggested that the Ms. Marvel movie will follow the 2019 release of the Captain Marvel movie, starring Brie Larson.
Ms. Marvel's character was created by G. Willow Wilson and Ian Herring. "It was really important for me to portray Kamala as someone who is struggling with her faith," Wilson told NYTimes during Khan's debut. "It's about the universal experience of all American teenagers, feeling kind of isolated and finding what they are through the lens of being a Muslim-American."

The Central Connecticut softball team was predicted to finish sixth this season in the nine-team Northeast Conference Coaches' Poll as announced by the league's front office on Thursday, February 1. Saint Francis U. was chosen as the unanimous favorite to win its second straight NEC Championship for the 2018 season.
Robert Morris was second in the poll, followed by LIU Brooklyn, Sacred Heart and Wagner. Bryant, Mount St. Mary's and Fairleigh Dickinson trailed the Blue Devils and rounded the coaches' poll.
Last season Central Connecticut finished the year 15-24 overall and 8-8 in conference play. The Blue Devils went on a tear to end the regular season winning five of their last six contests, but missed the postseason tournament.
This year, the Blue Devils add eight true freshmen and one sophomore transfer to the lineup. Central will be guided by the experience of its six seniors: catcher Brittany McNulla and infielders Tori Constantin, Kaitlin Paterson, Gianna Hathaway and Lex Debrosse, and outfielder Brittany Camara, along with pitcher Emily Sargent.
McNulla, Camara, Debrosse and Constantin are the Blue Devils' four leading returning hitters. Last year, McNulla paced CCSU at the plate with a .325 batting average, posting team-bests in hits (40), doubles (10) and runs batted in (32). Debrosse slugged a team most six home runs and was second on the team with 22 runs batted in.
Head coach Breanne Gleason begins her fifth season at the help and will open the Blue Devils' 2018 season on February 23-25 in Miami, FL at the Florida International Invitational. In the tournament, CCSU will go head-to-head with Siena, FIU, Big Ten member Michigan St. and the ACC's Boston College.
Central will begin the month of March at the University of Arkansas's Woo Pig Classic where they will duel with Northern Colorado, Arkansas and Dartmouth. The Blue Devils will then compete at the University of South Florida's Under Armour Showcase in Clearwater, FL on March 9-11, where they will take the field against Western Michigan, Rider, South Dakota St., Chattanooga and Lehigh.
CCSU will face Yale in its home-opener at CCSU Softball Field in New Britain, CT for a doubleheader on March 13. Central's Northeast Conference opener with feature a home doubleheader against in-state foe Sacred Heart on March 30.

If you are looking for a friendly trust worthy daycare this is the right place to choose. This is the best daycare I've ever encountered. It's a blessing to have a daycare to be comfortable with. I would recommend America's Choice on Dairy Ashford to everyone! – Netra. – Houston, TX

"The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7 (NIV)
All life is sacred. It is the mentality of "some lives matter more than others" that caused the Holocaust. That was the mentality of Hitler: "Some people are more important than others. So we'll just wipe out the weak, the infirm, the aged, or people we disagree with." Today we even see it in young couples that are expecting and hear, "We hate to tell you this, but your baby may have a birth defect." And the couple starts considering abortion.
If everybody who had a defect were aborted, you would have been aborted. You have defects. Everybody is handicapped. You just don't admit it. You have some emotional handicaps, and you have some fears you won't even talk to your wife about. They scare you to death. You also have emotional handicaps, such as the idea that you're not as smart as everybody else. And you have some physical handicaps. Have you learned that not everything in your body works? That's why you're not in the Olympics. We all have defects. We all have problems.
Who makes the decision that your defect isn't big enough to get rid of? Do you know a family who has a special needs child — an autistic, mentally undeveloped, or physically handicapped child? Do they love that child less? No. They love that child more! The Bible says that God loves the weak, the infirm, the special needs person. We need them in our lives to learn unselfishness.
We must always protect the sanctity of life. Why? Because it reveals God's purpose and shows God's glory.
You are valuable, no matter who or what you are. So is every child.
The Bible tells us that God accepts responsibility for all our genetic defects. Did you know that? Not the problems in our lives we brought on ourselves because of overeating or smoking or drinking too much, but all the genetic weaknesses that you didn't have any say in are all part of your SHAPE.
The Bible says in 1 Samuel 16:7, "The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart" (NIV).
God accepts responsibility, because he has a bigger perspective than any human. He can see what you can't see. And he loves each person he made for their potential to do the great things he has planned for us.
God isn't going to compare you with anybody else. But he is going to compare you with your potential. It's not my goal to be the best pastor in the world. I'm not even trying. It's my goal to be the best pastor I can possibly be given the talent, background, opportunities, and gifts that God gave me. That's what I'll be evaluated on.

|Art Profile
|About Us
|Artist Profiles
I am an artist and a painter of People in sport, combining human action and movement with what aids them be the best at what they do. I love observing an individual or group and secretly inventing a story based on their movement, inflections, and attitude. I work quickly on a coloured canvas in Oil Pastels with references from sketchbooks and photographs I have taken. Although my paintings are realistic in nature they are also slightly abstract, my intention is not to create a painting that looks like a photograph I interpret the scenes in the colours I perceive work best together to create a vibrant active painting showing movement and effort.
When I work in Charcoal or Pencil, I aim to create a Painting without lines and use different techniques to achieve this. My aim is to leave the observer wondering how was it done?
During my demonstrations I will talk about media selection, composition, colours, and also what I am thinking as I am painting. I talk… a lot really and generate a lot of enthusiasm in my demonstrations. My hope would be that everyone will go away and try something different….
I run art courses from my home in Bexhill and will demonstrate in the South East of England.
For more examples of my painting please visit my website www.stephencheeseman.com

A great deal of historical philosophy in the eighteenth century can be described as cosmopolitan: history was written from the perspective that all men are equal and uniform citizens of the world. From this perspective, statements about human history could be expressed in general terms that did not discriminate between time and place, because what went for one man in general lines went for all.
A philosophical underpinning of cosmopolitan history could be found in the works of Immanuel Kant (1724-1804). The German Enlightenment philosopher conceived the universe as determined by mechanical causal relations that work towards the establishment of a moral law, which was composed by the use of the free and rational human mind.[1] In his essay Idea for a Universal History from a Cosmopolitan Point of View (1784), Kant argued that history seemed random and chaotic to the individual, but from the perspective of the human race as a whole appeared as a steady progression of the evolution of the free human will. This line of thinking, in which one rule steered all of history, had grown stronger in the course of the eighteenth century. It had made Voltaire, another self-proclaimed cosmopolitan philosopher, to shift his interest, as Daniel Woolf says it, from writing the history of men towards the history of man.[2] Cosmopolitan histories were grounded in the idea that historical development was determined by one certain principle or fundamental rule to which all natural and human events in the universe adhered. To study this principle was to study the universe and everything in it.
Cosmopolitan history was still universal history, so in this respect little seemed to have changed in relation to previous centuries. But other than the universal character of histories from earlier times, the label of cosmopolitanism was one that contemporary scholars explicitly identified themselves with. This cosmopolitan identity became explicit because a contrasting stance formed in response to it. Cosmopolitanism was rooted in Enlightenment philosophy, which stressed the common rational capabilities of men. Its antithesis was formed in the German lands, where the literary Sturm und Drang movement was based on the appreciation of human passions and emotions. Whereas Enlightenment rationalism led to an idea of a uniform humanity, its counter-movement stressed cultural particularity. One of the philosophers that was instrumental in developing this line of thinking was Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), who argued that there existed radical differences in human thoughts and beliefs between cultures and historical periods. This German philosophy also had higher esteem of the study of detail, because it was believed that in detail the essential expression of a certain time or culture was found. Kant and Voltaire, who only saw relevancy in an exploration of the bigger historical pattern, had yet discarded such a small-scale investigation as pointless. In the German lands, there thus formed a philosophy that emphasized the importance of the particular over the general, and appreciated the small over the big.
In his younger years, Herder had been a student of Kant. Yet by identifying with the Sturm und Drang he had gone in the opposite direction of his former teacher, with whom by the end of the eighteenth century he was engaged in several polemics about historical philosophy. Of these two German philosophers, the younger stood for the main direction of German philosophy in the late eighteenth and nineteenth century. In the German lands, Enlightenment rationalism stood on its last legs. Lewis White Beck describes Kant as "the last of the Jacobins in Germany".[3] In the eighteenth century, the engine of history had shifted from the notion of 'providence' to 'progress'. Next, in nineteenth century German historiography, the main principle of historical philosophy became 'national character' or zeitgeist.[4]
German philosophy after Kant was dominated by idealism, which argued for the primacy of the subjective idea in the conception of objective reality. One of the main philosophers of this period was G.W.F. Hegel (1770-1831), who opposed Enlightenment rationalism for its anti-historical tendencies. Kant's conception of the rationally conceived moral law was considered a timeless construct that unjustly neglected the variation of the human mind throughout history. Hegel stressed that because everything existed in time, ideas and doctrines could only be understood by a study of its history.[5] Because nothing that sprung from the mind could be known independent from its historical context, all philosophy became philosophy of history.
Hegel believed that societies formed a unique whole, which he called the "spirit of a nation", of which the parts were inseparable from each other. One of the inseparable parts of this whole was philosophy. Therefore, the ideas of the scholar could not transcend the national spirit to which he belonged. The historian could merely make his nation conscious of its underlying values and characteristics.[6] All knowledge became reducible to its historical context. The idea of cumulative knowledge, or the notion of progress that was based on this formula, could no longer be upheld. Because ethics were also confined to a particular national spirit, there neither was room for universal moral standards. Nor was it deemed possible to identify with a 'nationless' cosmopolitanism. Nationalism was perpetuated as a historical state of being.

The Vox Continental Organ is back!
The Vox Continental organ is back.
Not being a keys player, I don't know if I'm sufficiently in the club to refer to it as 'Connie', but I am enough of a The Doors fan to appreciate the legend. The new, 2017 Vox Continental is not [slightly shrunken] clone as we saw with products such as the MS-20 and the ARP Odyssey, this is what the Vox Continental would be, if the Vox Continental were to be introduced in 2017.
Which, I suppose, it has…
The Vox Continental Organ returns
To being with, the new Vox Continental doesn't just give you one organ: it gives you three. In fact, that's not really fair. The organ part of the Vox Continental gives you three organs, but let's not forget about the rest of what's going on. The 2017 Vox Continental gives you three electric piano sounds, three acoustic piano sounds, and a range of key/layer sounds that add in flavours such as brass, string and synth.
This new Vox Continental is a versatile beast…
Looking at the Vox Continental's top panel, simplicity is a word that springs to mind. The front panel isn't crowded with controls, it's designed to be simple, intuitive and easy to navigate.
The keybed – and Continental 61 and 73 note options are available – is a semi-waterfall design that is optimised to give you an incredible playing feel, with ultimate control of velocity and, ultimately, your expression. And, let's not forget, that incredible stand and the pedals are included as standard.
Vox Continental Features
Want just a list of the features of the new Vox Continental? This list is for you…
■ Intuitive user interface that emphasises playability on stage
■ ORGAN part that meticulously models three vintage organs
■ High-quality E.PIANO part with attention paid to every detail
■ Rich PIANO part powered by high-capacity samples
■ KEY/LAYER part with a wide range of variations
■ Intuitive and powerful effects that are optimised for live use
■ Touch sensor that can control a variety of parameters
■ Nine-band EQ that allows detailed control of your sound
■ Real valve drive sound powered by Nutube, the new vacuum tube
■ Newly developed waterfall keyboard provides excellent playability
■ Dynamics knob lets you freely customise the playing feel of the keyboard
■ Scene memories let you instantly switch between settings
■ Lightweight and compact body is built of sturdy sheet metal and aluminum
■ Carries on the scarlet color that's traditional for VOX organs
■ V861 volume/expression pedal and ST-Continental keyboard stand are included
Looking 'round the back, we can see that the Vox Continental offers just what you need to control your expression, as well as all the sockets you need to get connected on stage or in the studio.
So, there you go, the new Vox Continental stage keyboard for 2017. It looks like quite a best. Like I said, I'm not a keys player, but now I wish I were…

Sensor data can help city planners and businesses optimize their operations, and one Danish city is attempting to do just that this holiday season.
City leaders want to make their communities smarter, and that transformation comes in many forms. In one Danish city, it means using sensors to measure the impact of large events around the holidays. In Aalborg, Denmark, the Aalborg City Business Association will use sensors from Blip Systems to monitor pedestrian flow and movement patterns at events like the annual Christmas market.
Flemming Tingbak, director of the Aalborg City Business Association, said the sensors will help his group verify whether the annual Christmas market, which costs more than $160,000 to host, is worth the investment.
Users are afforded privacy, the sensor maker reports, because no personal information is transmitted about individuals, and each connection is anonymized and encrypted.

This is no ordinary 1960s family reunion photo. Thousands of Mennonites fleeing the Soviet Union after the Second World War were forcibly repatriated. With the doors closed on mass migration, Mennonite Central Committee focussed on making efforts to reunite families, one at a time. Some of these men, women and children had arrived in Canada soon after the war; others had arrived only recently. These families were adjusting to new lives together after decades of separation. My grandparents are in this photo! Are yours?
