Developing Individuals and Transforming Teams
First Things First
Our first priority is to help you define what success looks like and the specific outcomes you expect.
We believe in working in partnership with you to generate the solutions to your challenges. You know your business, the environment in which you work, and the people you have who can face those challenges with you. We help you put the plan together to get the business where it needs to be.
We'll design a bespoke programme for you and/or your teams…
We help you diagnose the issues you have and determine what options might be available to address them. We then work with you personally with regular one to one contact, or we design specific interactions with your teams, or even with the organisation as a whole. We agree the length of the programme up front and all our programmes are supported online.
…that fits perfectly with the way you work
Our work with you is spread over a period of time that suits you and your
By allowing the programme to fit with your schedule and how you or your business operates, we find the learning
We're flexible – if your needs change, we'll change direction…
We deliver seminars, workshops and one to ones that are designed for execution – testing ideas and solutions, working up actions that will make progress, we reflect on successes and failures on the way so that corrections can be made. Change and development can be complex and difficult – where you first set out may not be where you end up.
…and we'll focus precisely where you'll see the biggest impact
If there are individuals or teams within your business who you discover need specific training and development, but standard programmes just don't cut the mustard, perhaps we can help. We can work on a one to one basis, with a specific team or your senior team, developing tailored coaching programmes that will make a difference. We can develop a specific project with you or you can identify people who might need mentoring or individual development.
"If you've got a complicated business with lots of complicated individuals…he'd be a good person to have a cup of tea with and say, "can you help me put a semblance of order to this place?"Paul Rogers

Music – by Walter de la Mare
When music sounds, gone is the earth I know,
And all her lovely things even lovelier grow;
Her flowers in vision flame, her forest trees
Lift burdened branches, stilled with ecstasies.
When music sounds, out of the water rise
Naiads whose beauty dims my waking eyes,
Rapt in strange dreams burns each enchanted face,
With solemn echoing stirs their dwelling-place.
When music sounds, all that I was I am
Ere to this haunt of brooding dust I came;
And from Time's woods break into distant song
The swift-winged hours, as I hasten along.

"Diane..." The Twin Peaks Tapes Of Agent Cooper
"Diane…" The Twin Peaks Tapes Of Agent Cooper is an audiobook based on the television Twin Peaks, in which FBI Agent Dale Cooper would record his thoughts into a portable tape recorder as he investigated the Laura Palmer murder. It was originally released on cassette tape.
Written by Scott Frost (interspersed with clips from the series).[1] Early in season 2, Simon & Schuster Audio released Diane … The Twin Peaks Tapes of Agent Cooper, a cassette-only release performed by Kyle MacLachlan. The tape consisted of newly recorded Cooper messages to his never-seen assistant, Diane, mixed in with monologues from the original broadcasts. The tape begins with a prologue monologue in which Cooper discusses his impending trip to Twin Peaks, continues with the initial monologue heard in the pilot, and continues to a point after his recovery from being shot.
For his work, Kyle MacLachlan was nominated for a Grammy Award for best spoken-word performance.1)

This short video explains what addiction is and how it had its roots in our emotional needs not being met. Exploring our subconscious always reveals the reasons why, and the antidotes to heal whether for ourselves or as a surrogate for our loved ones.

Cert. 15
Special Screenings
120 mins
in French with English subtitles
Directed by Declan Donnellan | Stage design by Nick Ormerod | with Xavier Boiffier, Camille Cayol, Vincent de Bouard, Christophe Grégoire, Cécile Leterme, Sylvain Levitte | Produced by Cheek by Jowl with Barbican, London, Les Gémeaux / Sceaux / Scène Nationale and Comédie de Béthune, Centre Dramatique National Nord / Pas-de-Calais.
"Exhilaratingly fresh…blackly hilarious"
The Independent
Charting the exploits of the tyrannical King Ubu, the play is a startling challenge to the comfortable and conventional. Menacing, petulant and wonderfully anarchic, Alfred Jarry's piercing humour continues to fascinate us, enabling a world of rich theatrical possibilities in a parade of the grotesque that keeps pace with our own times.
Rediscover this cult play in the internationally acclaimed adaptation by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod from Cheek by Jowl broadcast from the Lincoln Center in New York.
The screening will be preceded by an introduction with the stage director Declan Donnellan and stage designer Nick Ormerod.
This production is suitable for 16+

One of the people I met was David Bowman, an LDS artist and author. Today's article is my interview with this wonderfully talented brother.
Q: David, tell us how you got started.
A: Ever since I can remember, I have loved to draw. All through my childhood and teen-age years drawing was one of my favorite things to do in my free time. I think most young kids feel that way about drawing, but then they reach an age where other interests take precedence -- and the art falls by the wayside. I guess I never reached that age.
Q: Where did you receive your training and education?
A: I went to BYU and received a bachelor's degree in illustration. It was the first place I felt like I actually learned how to further my abilities as an artist. Everything up to that point was pretty much self-taught.
After graduation, I actually went on to be a full-time seminary teacher for several years. Having worked with the youth as an EFY counselor and in other youth-oriented settings during my college years, I realized that I had two passions: creating art and teaching -- especially young people.
About four years ago, there came a point in my seminary teaching where I decided to take a break from the classroom and devote myself full-time to my art. But as I think about my motivation to do art, I've realized I am (still) a teacher first and an artist second. I love to teach and I use my art as a medium to enhance my teaching. I don't really create art just for art's sake, but rather to assist me in teaching something of value to another person.

To create this playdough funky fish, we used 4 playdough colors. We wanted our fish to be different shades of blue, but you can pick any color you desire, you can even make it rainbow. Since we wanted more shades of blue than the original 4, we made our own playdough colors by mixing together the colors we had.
Mixing playdough is as easy as mixing paint. We took white and blue playdough and mushed it together until it turned to the desired color. You can leave it swirly, to make your fish even more unique and funky. We created 2 more shades of blue and began creating the fish.
Playdough (if you don't have playdough at home, you can make it yourself)
Plastic knife
1. Body.
You can use your own imagination when creating the fish body shape or look up on the internet any fish type and start working. Create a round ball by rolling playdough in your palms. Then flatten the body to make it look more like the body of the fish.
2. Tail.
We created a tail right from the body part, just sculpted with our fingers until the desire shape. You can also make it from a separate piece of playdough and then attach to the body.
3. Fins.
We made 3 the same way we made a tail. You can also make them separate it's easier and then attach to the fish.
4. Mouth.
To make a mouth we used plastic knife to make a slit and pull apart the lips of the fish. Shape it with your fingers to create the desired look.
5. The eye.
Roll a small ball from the white playdough and attach to the face of the fish. We used two shades of blue to create the pupil of the eye.
6. Decorations.
To decorate the fish we used all sorts of different color and size balls. We flatten some of them and roll the others. We used toothpick to make holes and other designs.

Downtown Portland Oregon is similar to downtown Boston Massachusetts. Both are vibrant cities with great public transportation, greenways and parks, shopping, eateries, culture, history, and a blend of new and old architecture. Portland does have Boston beat in the fact that it rarely snows which is nice. I'm a hardy New Englander but I'm growing weary of the frigid cold snowy winters.
It's a glorious Spring morning on a Saturday in mid April as I drive to check out downtown Portland. It's been 13 years since I've explored downtown so I'm looking forward to it. I find parking at the Fox Towers garage on SW Taylor Street near Pioneer Courthouse Square. It's $8.50 for the day which is decent considering I'm downtown. I take a picture of the parking spot/level and take another picture when I walk out to the street. Since there is always a few entrances I find this to be the safest way to find my car.
I always think of the Seinfeld episode when they come out of the mall and can't find their car in the garage. I've done that before and it was not fun. I make note of where I am and using my iPhone GPS I walk the few blocks to Pioneer Courthouse Square.
It has character. It reminds me of an amphitheater with its semi-circle of red color brick and steps which people sit on. As I look closely there are hundred's of names on the bricks. I strike up a conversation with a friendly woman who tells me the bricks were sold to raise money for the construction and the names of donors are inscribed on the bricks. What a nifty fundraising idea.
As I'm looking, I almost collide with another person as we are both intently reading the names. Enough of that, I take a close up picture and I'm on my way. As I walk I see the famous Mile Post Sign and snap a few pictures. I remember this sign!
I continue on, walking with no particular direction admiring the architecture. I see a bright red double-decker bus with rounded bumpers which reminds me of the double-decker buses in London England. It seems as though I've been walking for hours taking in the sights.
Downtown Portland has a great set up with small city blocks which gives it an intimate feel. The city planners did a great job. After many hours of walking my feet and my stomach are telling me it's time to rest and feed my weary body. I find Paris in the heart of Portland. I must take a picture and send it to my sister who lives in Paris France.
I sit at the bar and order braised short ribs and a raspberry lemon drop martini. Delicious on both counts. My mind and body are content. What a great way to spend a day in the city. As I walk back to the car I have a sense of contentment. I see the bronze sculptures of a doe and her fawn and it brings a smile to

Kevin McAleenan, New Acting Head of Homeland Security: 10 Things You Must Know
Nielsen's exit came just two days after Trump visited the border in Calexico, California, on Friday.
During that visit, he said that America's asylum system is "full" and could not take any more individuals. He also said some of those seeking asylum at the border were gang members.
"I look at some of these asylum people, they're gang members," he said. "They're not afraid of anything. They have lawyers greeting them. They read what lawyers tell them to read." It's a "scam," Trump added.
"It's a scam, OK? It's a hoax. I know about hoaxes," he added. "I just went through a hoax."
Who is Kevin McAleenan and what are his credentials?
Here's a quick rundown of key facts.

Cardiorespiratory Fitness Reduces the Risk of Incident Hypertension Associated With a Parental History of Hypertension
Document Type
Subject Area(s)
Public Health
Family history of hypertension increases the risk of an individual to develop hypertension, whereas moderate-to-high cardiorespiratory fitness has the opposite effect. However, the joint association of each on the development of hypertension is not well understood. We studied fitness and incident hypertension in 6278 participants who were given a preventative medical examination. Thirty-three percent reported a parent with hypertension, and there were 1545 cases of incident hypertension after a mean of 4.7 years. The presence of parental hypertension was associated with a 28% higher risk of developing hypertension after adjustments for age, sex, and examination year. After further adjustments for smoking, alcohol intake, resting systolic and diastolic blood pressures, hypercholestrolemia, body mass index, physical inactivity, and fitness, there was a 20% higher risk associated with parental hypertension. After adjusting for age, sex, and examination year, both moderate and high levels of fitness were associated with lower risk for developing hypertension by 26% and 42%, respectively. In the joint analysis, individuals with both a low level of fitness and a parent with hypertension exhibited a 70% higher risk for developing hypertension compared with high fit individuals with no parental history (P=0.004). However, individuals with a high level of fitness and a parent with hypertension only experienced a 16% higher risk of developing hypertension compared with fit individuals with no parental history (P=0.03). The significantly lower risk of developing hypertension when progressing from low- to high-fit groups among those with a parental history of hypertension has important clinical implications.

HYDERABAD: The High Court directed the Telangana government on Thursday to file a counter affidavit on a petition filed by the DSC-1998 candidates seeking a CBI probe into alleged irregularities and fraudulent appointment of teachers made by the Warangal district selection committee.Justice A Rajasheker Reddy gave this direction on a petition filed by K Venu Goud and four others from Warangal district complaining about large-scale irregularities and fraud in selections to the Secondary Grade Teacher (SGT) posts made through DSC-1998 examination.
To substantiate their claims, the petitioners annexed the inquiry report submitted jointly by the joint collector and district educational officer of Warangal to the district collector in 2014 which clearly brought out the fraud perpetrated. The report stated that there were at least five lists pertaining to selections with varying figures of the candidates selected. It also pointed out that a list of 65 candidates without any approval of the DEO or the DSC chairman was found and all those 65 candidates were appointed as teachers. One candidate who got zero marks in the written exam was called for interview and was selected as a teacher.
A high-level committee headed by senior IAS officer IV Subba Rao, appointed by the then Andhra Pradesh government, had also clearly stated that irregularities occurred in the DSC exam. Despite such findings, no action was taken, the petitioners alleged. Petitioners' counsel NS Arjun Kumar brought to the notice of the court that candidates who got fewer marks were illegally appointed as teachers due to this fraud. He cited the Vyapam recruitment scam in Madhya Pradesh in which Supreme Court had ordered CBI probe, contours of the scam became clear and the guilty were being punished.
On similar lines, there is a need for a CBI investigation into DSC-1998 scam to bring to light the large-scale frauds committed and to punish the guilty and do justice to deserving candidates like the petitioners who were left out. The government's counsel urged court to tag present case to other similar petitions which were pending before court. The judge pointed out that present case was seeking a CBI probe and was different from pending cases. He directed respondent authorities to file their counter affidavits and adjourned case by two weeks.

I just returned from Kashmir. This is what I saw
I roamed around the streets of Srinagar for about a week. Here's how things look on the ground.
- Total Shares
It was not like catching just another flight.
"Will I be allowed to enter the city or will I be turned away from the airport?"
"Will my camera be taken away?"
These questions swirled in my mind as I took the plunge in these uncertain times — taking the flight from New Delhi to Srinagar.
The mission was to catch the buzz on the ground a month after Jammu and Kashmir was stripped of its special status. The plan was to go in as an undercover journalist, mingle with the locals and get a first-hand account of what's normal and what's not.
Kashmir wears a deserted look in peak tourist season. (Photo: Reuters)
'Close your window shades'
At the Delhi airport, I checked a few times if Srinagar-bound flights were running on schedule and learnt that all was well. So the journey was on!
The moment I boarded the flight, I was face-to-face with a downcast mood. This is peak tourism season for Kashmir and the flight should ideally have been packed with cheery travellers. Instead, there were only Kashmiris on board, all heading home — an unmistakable worrisome look on all of their faces.
After an hour-and-a-half, when the plane was preparing to land, an unusual announcement over the public address system left me baffled.
"All passengers are requested to close their window shades during landing," the crew's voice rang out. It was a new thing for Srinagar-bound flights.
The air hostesses kept a close watch to ensure we followed the strange instruction. At the time of landing, though, I took advantage of the crew not lurking around and pulled my window shield halfway down.
The Srinagar airport I saw appeared hardly chilled out and bustling as touristy places are. Instead, it was a quiet and heavily militarised setting, with aircraft, patrols, lots of equipment and bunkers.
Claps of sarcasm
Just after the landing, as soon as the crew made the customary announcement — "Welcome to Srinagar, you may now use your mobile phones" — a loud and prolonged round of claps and jeering broke out inside the plane.
That's how young Kashmiris on board, obviously aware of a communications blackout and frustrated over the pointlessness of switching on their mobile devices, mocked at the crew's futile announcement.
This unusual scene was perhaps unfolding on every other Srinagar-bound flight.
As I collected my luggage, a few locals approached me with concern and suggested that I should take the next flight back to where I came from.
Their misgivings made me more adamant. The plunge had been taken. I ventured out of the airport and headed out to get a feel of Srinagar's 'new normal'.
Ghost town
Several cabbies outside the airport refused to drive me to the city where I could find a place to stay, citing security fears for outsiders in these tense times. Finally, a prepaid taxi driver took the call to take me in. He agreed to drop me to the Dal Gate area near Boulevard Road, where several hotels are located.
The drive from the airport to Dal Gate was an uncanny experience. It was eight in the morning and yet the streets were deserted as if it were a ghost town. The only sound was that of the cab purring down the empty streets. The only sight was that of CRPF personnel posted every 30 to 40 metres.
All the markets were shuttered. Troops, endless coils of concertina wire and stray dogs welcomed me to the 'new Kashmir'.
All the hotels along Boulevard Road, the most buzzing touristy area in Srinagar overlooking the serene and unusually quiet Dal Lake, were closed. Some of them had been turned into temporary army bases.
I still knocked on some of the hotels, only to find their caretakers refusing to let me in. "It's risky for you and for us," they said.
One hotel manager, Yasin (name changed), after much dilly-dallying, agreed to give me a room, but he set a few conditions.
"I can give you a room towards the back of the hotel and I request you to stay indoors and not venture out much," he said, cautiously adding that if someone were to ask me where I was put up, I should say I am staying at a friend's place.
Asked who was stopping hotels from accepting guests, he said, "There are lots of people, especially unions. I will be beaten up if they come to know that we are keeping guests."
Yasin later poured his heart out on the situation in Kashmir after apologetically saying that he can only serve dal and roti during my stay. "This is the peak tourist season. This is when we earn heavily. Some of the rooms would fetch us Rs 6,000 daily. But things are different this time," he said. "Forget getting customers, every moment we fear that some stone-pelting incident will break out. Ordinary Kashmiris like us are caught between the military, stone-pelters and unions."
With no tourists to cater to, all hotels have sent their staff home, with only managers and cooks hanging around so that they can send a word to the hotels in the event of an emergency.
Right adjacent to my hotel was a CRPF camp. Army personnel were posted round the clock in the neighbourhood, even outside the hotel.
It was a completely different Kashmir experience for me. The famed touristy city had fallen completely silent, with the only sounds being the calls to prayer and the regular thumping of boots of army personnel passing by.
Six hours of relief
"Vegetable vendors are getting to sell their stuff twice every day — from 6 am to 9 am and then from 6 pm to 9 pm. We buy everything during that time," said a Srinagar woman as she wrapped up her hunt for essentials near the floating post office by Dal Lake. "These six hours are relief for us."

Most Kashmiris seemed to have adjusted to the 'new normal' reluctantly.
Pirbaba, who sells shawls and woollens near Dal Lake, nowadays opens his shop at 7 am and closes it shortly afterwards, by 9 am. He fears goons may attack him if he keeps his shop open all day. "What is the point of opening the shop if there is no customer? They will anyway beat me to death if I keep it open beyond 9 am. That's what happened to a shop owner in the Lal Chowk area. Who will report this?" he exclaimed. "The media is saying everything is normal!"
Before hastily shuttering his shop, Pirbaba lamented, "We are caught in the crossfire. America will sell the weapons to India and Pakistan for their business interests and these two enemies will fight each other for this land. We are badly caught in the crossfire."
Why now?
As I visited several parts of Srinagar – Boulevard Road, Soura, Lal Chowk, BB Cantt, Rajbagh, Tourist Reception Centre — I found Kashmiris questioning the timing of the lockdown: "Why did the Indian government have to do it now?"
"Tell me why did they have to do it now? We are heavily dependent on tourism and this is the time we earn and stock food for the long winter," said Bilal Ahmed, a shikarawala. "You are my first customer since August 4."
Hilal Ahmed, a tea shop owner near Lal Chowk, echoed the same view. "This year we are not getting to do any business. Looks like this winter we will starve," he feared.
In BB Cantt, I befriended a retired state transport employee who invited me to his place to have a look at his dwindling food stock.
"The winter is long and we don't have much stock. Don't know how we are going to survive," he said.

Dear Astronomers,
Here on the edge of the Kalahari Desert the air is very clear and dry,
Which translates to very little clouds if at all, and very little pollution. The SQM (sky quality meter) often shows quality ranging from 21.7 to 22 out of a possible 22. The Milky Way often is so bright that it casts a shadow.
If you really want to experience the Southern Stars in all their glory, then this is the place be.

It would take quite some time to go over all of my career goals. That's because, over the last seven years, they have changed a lot.
One day I wanted to be an accountant, another day a financial planner, sometimes a small business owner, and now a freelance writer. But, most of these jobs do relate in a lot of different ways.
I am not highly educated. My college experience consisted of dropping out twice when I was right out of high school. A couple years ago I decided to take my education seriously and go back to school to get my accounting degree. Even with my determination to go full force this time, I caught a snag. I got divorced and decided to put my college degree on hold until I could get my feet planted.
So, I thought it would be good to work jobs that would get my foot in the door until I was able to finish my degree. I left my bookkeeping job for a job with a financial services group.
I've realized that when you are still working on your degree or are fresh out of college, you're not going to get your ideal job. Face it: the job market is still on a decline and depending where you live it can be nonexistent.
Getting Your Foot in the Door
I thought giving up my flexible bookkeeping job for a local department store to take a job with a popular financial services business would be a great idea. After all, this business offered accounting, financial planning, and insurance services. The first two were exactly what I was interested in!
When I had my interview with the owner, he immediately hired me. I was going to be a property and casualty insurance agent and he promised that there was all kinds of room for growth and a possible position change. He lied.
Over one year later, I am still a property and casualty insurance agent and still make the same pathetic pay. There is no room for growth and my position will never change. If anything, I feel dumb. I hate insurance and only took the job with the hopes of switching to a better position. I feel like I have fully proved my skills, but there's just no hope of moving up.
So, when it comes to getting your foot in the door, be careful. In a big company where you know there's room for growth, go for it. If your job opportunity is with a small three or four man locally-owned business, be careful. Your growth may be limited to your starting pay.
Living in a Small Town
Another problem that I have faced, and that you may also face, is living in a small town or somewhere that simply has no job openings. If this is the case, you may have to take whatever job you can get — even if it's in an unrelated field.
Look at the map below. If you don't live in one of the black highlights, chances are your job prospects are going to be a lot more challenging than if you move to a larger, metropolitan area.
In these instances you have three choices:
- You can move to a bigger city to get a start at your desired career.
- Stay where you are and work a crappy job.
- Freelance.
For me, the latter of the three options is the most appealing. This could be totally different for you.
Welcome to Freelancing
I take full responsibility for my life. It's a fact that I work a crappy job now. Low pay, no vacation or sick time, and absolutely zero benefits. But, I'm all about taking control and changing my life for the better. That's why I think freelancing is such a great option.
You can do anything with freelancing. If you have knowledge or a specialized skill, other people will pay you for it. From my experience, it definitely takes some time to build up a freelancing career. There will be a ton of failures before there are any successes.
New skills have to be learned. When you freelance, you are your business. That meanings marketing, dealing with clients, scheduling, and taking care of the financial aspects. But, it's totally worth it.
The internet makes freelancing a lot easier too. Social media is the perfect marketing weapon. If you're like me with an unfinished degree and live in a small town, freelancing could be a good option for you as well.
With freelancing your income is really limitless. You get out what you put in. Nothing more, nothing less. If you've always wanted to be a small business owner, freelancing is your chance to test your skills.
I still work my day job and freelance on the side. The goal is to quit the day job in six months, but it looks like freelancing could take over much, much sooner giving me the pay and stability that I crave.
I think getting a degree is very, very important. But, if you're not willing to live in an area that has a good job market, your degree may not do a thing for you. And, even if you think you have your foot in the door, things might not pan out like you hope.
If you're like me with an unfinished degree and limited job options, you're going to have to think outside of the box. You need to sacrifice or start your own business.
If you've been in my position before, what did you do?

Burn by Jenny Lyn: Hot Irish beauty Tate Reilly has worked very hard to become an Emergency Room Physician. She enjoys her work and the challenges she faces on a daily basis. After completing her residency in Florida, she was lucky enough to return to her college hometown of Atlanta to practice medicine. As much as Tate loves living in Atlanta, it is sometimes painful because the love of her life, Ryan Hart, disappeared on her eight years ago while she was sleeping. To this day, Tate has no idea why he left, why he left so secretly, why he didn't call or reach out to her in anyway. He broke her heart and she has spent years attempting to get over him and the tremendous hurt that he caused. She was able to pour her grief into schooling and doctoring, which slightly diffused her heartbreak. Tate dated others from time to time, but no one come close to Ryan and his love.
Sexy Ryan Hart is back in Atlanta, working as a sous chef in one of the hottest restaurants in town. In addition to being a successful chef, he wants Tate back in his life. He will never forgive himself for leaving her like he did, but out of control family matters caused him to leave Atlanta in a hurry, without even a goodbye to Tate. Ryan never stopped loving Tate and now that he is back in Atlanta, he plans on doing whatever he has to do to earn her trust back. Ending up in Tate's ER, is just the beginning. Ryan is one of those men that never forgets any details, so he showers Tate with flowers, delicious food and doodads in order to win back her heart. However, only the truth will set him free and break down the barriers Tate has implanted around her heart.
The heat between Tate and Ryan is scorching, with each touch, caress and kiss sending them both into a world of pleasure. Once Ryan feels comfortable enough to explain his disappearance to Tate, they will have an everlasting future together.
Wow, this is an amazing novella. Ms. Lyn is able to pack a lot of punch into less than a hundred pages. The story flows effortlessly from one chapter into another with a graceful writing style. I loved the way the two main characters came together by being patient with each other and handling their situations with maturity. This is the second book I have read by Ms. Lyn and she has become one of my favorite authors.
If you are looking for a passionate romance with steam, emotion and some fun, look no further than Burn.
Book Info:
Published August 28th 2013 by Evernight Publishing
Eight years ago, life was good for Tate Reilly. Living in Atlanta and attending college, her dream of becoming a doctor was within reach, and she was in love with Ryan Hart. Then one night while Tate slept, Ryan disappeared. No note, no phone call, nothing left of a love she thought would last forever. Confused and heartbroken, she doesn't let it hold her back in her quest to become a physician. If anything, the hurt and disappointment only serve to fuel her drive to succeed.
Ryan never wanted to leave Tate behind the way he did, but sometimes life takes away the choice. The best way to spare Tate the disruption of her bright future with his problems is to make a clean break. So he does the hardest thing he's ever done—he walks away from her.
Now Ryan is back in Atlanta, working as a sous chef in the most popular restaurant in the city, and he has every intention of winning Tate back, no matter what it takes. It's not easy because Tate wants answers that Ryan's not ready to give just yet. First, he needs to remind her of what they once had together. The heat between them is undeniable, and it's not long before it melts her resistance and she starts to lose the grip on her heart again.
But until Ryan can come clean with Tate about why he left, she can't fully forgive him and move on. Time doesn't always heal all wounds. Sometimes you have to shed more blood to become whole again.

This is just one of my bad experinces yesterday;
Right now I am on my oldest daughters old computer because I decided to fix the CD ROM in mine. I pulled it out and unscrewed the thing and dumped out most of the crushed, broken CD that someone jammed into it and now the CD ROM and the CD was schattered, doesn't work now. The computer is set to boot off the CD ROM, and sense its not working, it would'nt boot on. I need to set it to boot off another device, anyone have any advice? because I tried to set it to boot off the hard drive and it says its disabled, and doesn't say I can enable it, I don't have spell check, so bare with me on my spelling (Sound it out...lol).
So now I have to purchase a CD ROM which is only about 20 bucks, but I don't have 20 bucks...it will have to wait. I rebuilt this computer myself using parts of my mothers old computer that her mother board was fried. I took the hard drive out, placed it into my computer and took my old hard drive and put it into this computer. This one is a good PC, but it has an old mother board and I can't upgrade it. It will only hold 512 memory but the werid thing about it,is that it has 4 slots for memory chips. My computer only has 2 slots and will hold up to 1 GB, right now it has 780, almost 512 times 2. My computer I am on now has a memory of 256, but will hold up to 512.
Still waiting patiencly for my job to come through, wait for them to call me about my patients test that were on Monday. I just want them to get him out of the care home, I know he would improve because he would be in his own surroundings and happier. Being in a care home, make some of the patients there decline because they think its the end of the rope and they are there just to wait and die. I've seen it happen a thousand times in my 25 yrs of nursing. The family members lie, telling them they will be going home, just to get them to get into one of the care homes. Its a very sad situtation.

How to Tell if a Girl Is Flirting With You (with Pictures)
If you've ever laughed too hard at a dull date's jokes, you could be a "fake flirt." Here's why feigning interest when none exists isn't polite — in fact, it may actually be hurting your love life.

I was wondering the exact reason or even the justification of why girls do this to other guys. To be clear what I call fake "flirting" is when a girl, often very popular, will approach a needy guy with poor social skills and ridiculously flirt with them, putting their hands on them and loudly asking them awkward questions.

Recently we were able to speak with California based Afrogoth makeup artist and beauty queen Morbid Meka. In this interview, we spoke about not just about her experiences as a beauty artist, which includes recognition from alternative beauty icon and tattoo artist Kat Von D -but her survival stories dealing with being bullied as a black alternative woman and in general, mental health, self-care, and body positivity. (TW) This interview includes sensitive material.
So first thing- What made you get into makeup and how long have you been doing this?
What got me into makeup was being homeless and not being able to enjoy a normal childhood. So my mother forced me to stay inside and paint because we were in an unsafe neighborhood and we were living in motels. Then I started playing around with the cheap 99 cent makeup. I started getting heavy into it when I was around 20 years old.
What are your dreams and goals as an MUA?
My goals have changed a lot when it comes to makeup and my artistry has shifted a lot. My hair has been my staple point. My goal is to start a luxury hair line that is colorful and fun, and then branch off to doing eyelashes and etc. I want to do this for not just black alternative women, but all women of color. My art has turned into starting a hair care line. My love as a make-up artist has greatly declined because people want to tell you what you are worth, and they don't want to pay unless you have a million followers or something along those lines.
Do you plan on staying in Cali or branching out?
I plan on staying in California, but I would love to branch out eventually. I want to stay here to get my brand rooted. California is all I know for now. But it's so expensive here!
What has been a highlight for you as an MUA thus far?
Being acknowledged by the black alternative community. So many people have reached out me and appreciate me speaking up for people that look like us. Also being recognized by Kat Von D. I actually met her at least 10 years ago before her make-up line launched at the Montclair mall at her book signing. I cleaned out a garage for two days to earn the money to catch the bus to see her. We were still homeless and transitioning out of that. I stood outside waiting for her. She complimented me on my pink hair at the time! She told me to keep staying rad and stay true to myself.
How did it make you feel being recognized by Kat Von D Beauty and being invited to their 10-year anniversary party this past year?
Honestly one of the best feelings. I remember when she didn't even have Kat Von D beauty. I admire her for her look, her tattoo artistry, and seeing her on TV. 10 years ago I was cleaning out a garage to meet her.
Who and/or what inspires you creatively?
Music inspires me creatively. My music tastes are extremely fluid. Depending on my mood that day is how I express myself. I listen to a lot of metal music. Music is an escape for me, it's my passion.
You're a metal-head, just like a lot of us here at Punk Black- what got you into metal and the alternative music scene?
My grandfather listened to a lot of rock music and country music. He was the one that told me to listen to whatever I wanted to listen to, despite what my mother thinks. He was into 70s rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. That's what got into at a young age, my grandmother hated that kind of music, but my grandfather was very true to himself.
What are your favorite metal or rock bands?
Pantera would be number one. Black Sabbath and Type O Negative too. Those would be my top three favorites. I love so many alternative bands
Do you feel you've struggled with that being a POC, like were you ever bullied or teased for being an alternative black girl?
YES. I actually was bullied so bad that I was stabbed in high school. I was so bullied so bad my last few years in high school that a fight broke out and I was stabbed. It was bad. I dropped out early. It drove me to suicide. I was being bullied for my weight, for being dark-skinned, for being different, for pretty much anything. From my friends, family, to adults, and neighbors.
I see you talk about the importance of mental health, wellness, and self-care on your social media. In what ways to do you practice self-care and what does it mean to you?
Self-care is everything. If you can't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anything in life. You gotta put yourself first. How I practice is smoking, which ain't nice. But seriously, one day out of the week I will treat myself to anything to get my mind off anything that's going on. That could include taking a walk, going to the library, having a music session, being away from technology, or buying a new facial or make up a product. I struggle so hard with my mental health every single day. It's a journey, It's not always easy to get out of bed. I take my self-care extremely serious because the struggle is real. Sunday is my favorite day out of the whole week because I can do what I need to do for myself.
What do you think us as POC need to do to make mental health less of a taboo topic within our own communities?
In the black community, no one speaks on mental health because families are telling you it's for white people only. It's frowned upon. Mental health should be expressed openly in our communities, homes, and amongst each other. Especially for our children because they don't have anyone to look up to when it comes to that. Black families shame their children when it comes to mental health. I talk to my niece about the same things. There are so many people that struggle, that look like me, that have no one to speak for them. I fight every day for myself against self-destruction.
You also promote and are very much pro-body positivity on your social media, where does your confidence shine from?
Hmm. Probably years of self-destruction, self-harm, and self-anger. My struggle is my battle jacket. It comes from knowing basically a journey of loving myself despite my weight, flaws, or whatever anyone thinks of me. What I think about me matters. What other people think is none of my business.
What advice do you have to those that may be struggling with their appearance?
There are things you cannot change. You are best just accepting yourself and who you want to be, instead of trying to mold into something you are not. You can't change who you are, so you might as well embrace it.

Children get a lesson in health and safety
Children from Templars Primary School in Coventry donned goggles, hard hats and hi-visibility jackets as they learnt all about staying safe around building sites at a recent health and safety presentation with construction company Morgan Sindall.
The company is currently building the new £15 million Manufacturing Technology Centre at Ansty Park in Coventry and with other building work also going on in the local area, Morgan Sindall, along with Ivor Goodsite, the construction industry's mascot, wanted to educate the youngsters about how to stay safe.
Morgan Sindall's safety, health and environment advisor Nick Manley, says: "Construction sites are extremely dangerous places for unsupervised children and we are urging the community to help us ensure youngsters are not tempted to play on sites this summer. Everyone who works on a construction site undergoes health and safety training and wears full protective clothing." He adds: "The pupils at Templars Primary School really enjoyed trying on all of the protective equipment and learning about how to stay safe."

I didn't enjoy Bad Company 2 at all, however I've been in a deep depression lately, so maybe my mood doesn't help. I remember hating Small God's by Pratchett first time I read it then loving it on a second read.
Anyone know what the next premium sub figure will be? Feel like I haven't had a premium gift for a while now...
Not sure if I can post links on here, but you can pre-order up to volume 60 on forbiddenplanet.com
I wonder if we'll get any Durham Red Solo or Mambo in this collection.
Good news; there's a whole book of Durham Red scheduled.
Bad news; don't think there's any Mambo planned (unless we get an extension).
Do we have a contents list for Strontium dog vol. 6?Anyone seen it? How's the reproduction?

What are you saying?
What you say in print represents what you say in person. Whether you're writing a letter, an email, a blog, a newsletter or a book, you MUST read over what you've written very carefully before you print or send. A newsletter or email that's full of typos and grammatical errors represents you as a person who doesn't attend to details, is careless, is ignorant, or is illiterate. And yet, you are none of those things!
Imagine this: You're at a networking event and approach someone with your hand out. He smiles warmly, shakes your hand, and says, "I's glad to meet youse. Where done you come from?" Do you expect him to have half a clue about business? About working with people? Probably not.
No matter the format of your writing, the software you're using to write it has a spell checker. USE IT! But buyer beware...spell checkers are not always correct or thorough. My method is to spell check first, then go back over my document and read it out loud to catch any grammatical or other errors.
And don't get Me started On Capitalizing words that Shouldn't be capitalized. I know two people who do this all the time. Capital letters belong on proper names, the first word of sentences, and titles. That's it. Nothing else.
If you're in doubt about anything you write, simply read someone else's work as a guide. Most reading we do contains very few errors. Don't look like a doofus - spell check, proofread, and present yourself as the intelligent professional you are!

According to this NY Times article, toothpaste that has ingredients found in antifreeze is showing up in toothpaste suspected of being from China. Diethylene glycol, used to replaced glycerin, is the ingredient in question, the very same one that has killed over 100 people in Panama from a shipment from China used in cough medicine. So far reports in Panama, the Dominican Republic and Australia has come up with the suspect toothpaste all with a high probability of China being the source.
If this is linked back to China, it will be another example of how China has failed as a trading partner. If your vendor does not supply you with quality products, you do what any free market company does, you find another vendor to supply you with quality products. If you are in the business of supplying quality healthy products, and this case proves to be linked to China again, you have no excuse not to look. In fact as a shareholder, I would consider it poor executive decision making to continue to use Chinese ingredient vendors. The lawsuit payouts for when you get hit will exceed any savings.

WHEN Brad Freeman left the Marines in 2006, he wondered what to do next. His work as a combat engineer had been fulfilling, but his skills were not necessarily the ones he needed in civilian life. So he finished a bachelor's degree in business at Ball State University in Indiana and, looking for a foothold in the sports world, founded a company, First Job in Sports, to help people find internships in the field.
Last year, he leapt full time into sports himself when he enrolled in the graduate sports business management program at Manhattanville College in Purchase, N.Y. By studying marketing, sports law and other topics with professionals in the sports business, Mr. Freeman hopes to land a job at the college level in facilities management (from practice gyms to stadiums). In doing so, he hopes to combine his love of sports with a desire to help people.
"I do miss the military because I was doing something great for the country," said Mr. Freeman, 30. "With everything that's going on in the world, people go to games to get away from everyday life. Sports keep people together."
While others may not share Mr. Freeman's altruistic motivation, a growing number are taking a similar path. Lured by the glamour of sports and the possibility of becoming a real-life George Costanza, the character on "Seinfeld" who landed a front-office job with the New York Yankees, or prompted by a midcareer itch to put existing skills to work in a new field, students young and older are flocking to sports management programs.
More than 300 universities offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in sports business and management, according to the North American Society for Sport Management — and little wonder, given that sports is a $425-billion-a-year business and growing. Sports, of course, is already a big business at many schools. And many universities, eager to develop new moneymaking ventures, see the combination of sports and business as an irresistible draw for students.
Undergraduate programs in sports management have been around for more than four decades, but there has been a marked increase lately in graduate programs with a specific focus on midcareer workers, taught by practitioners in the expanding sports sector.
As the number of teams and leagues has increased, along with the agencies, vendors and broadcasters who serve them, graduate sports business management programs have been established by Columbia University, Georgetown University, the University of Central Florida and the University of Oregon, among others.
Shannon Shae Spalten, in her last semester at the Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality, Tourism, and Sports Management at New York University, is typical of the students such programs are eager to attract. Before enrolling in the program, the 37-year-old sold commercial real estate. But her ability to network, close deals and run a business, it turns out, are all transferrable skills.
"What I know now that I didn't know at 19, beyond the classroom and learning, is that it's the connections you make with people," Ms. Spalten said. "I felt getting a degree and having a real knowledge of the business would really help me with the business of sports."
In addition to helping bring speakers and recruiters to campus, she has worked part time for the New York Giants in an initiative to create premium services for season-ticket holders. The job, which required long hours during the Giants' run to the Super Bowl, is part of a new group the team set up, underscoring a lesson many students learn at these programs: the business of sports evolves quickly, and teams, leagues and others are looking for people from nontraditional backgrounds with new ideas.
Students in the sports management program at Columbia, where they take classes in the business school and learn from top sports executives, have jobs in the National Hockey League and at ESPN, the United States Tennis Association and other well-known organizations, according to Lucas Rubin, the director of the program. Three-quarters of his 96 current students, he added, are working in the field while participating in the program.
Yet such programs are not cheap, and their growing number, combined with cutbacks by leagues and teams during the recession, has made landing a job more difficult. At the high end, Columbia's program runs $54,000 for tuition alone and takes, on average, two and a half years to complete. By contrast, the Manhattanville College program runs a little over half that — $28,000 to $30,000 for tuition — and can be completed in less time.
Now consider the starting salaries at many sports management jobs. Graduates may receive as little as $35,000 a year for a job that may require working long nights and weekends.
Still, program directors say, graduates fluent in a second language are in particular demand, as are those with strong sales skills or specific technological abilities. And because of the diversity of their experience, midcareer students, including a growing number of veterans, are generally more employable compared with their younger classmates, sports management professors say.
While precise figures are hard to come by, military veterans make a notable subset of incoming classes. The winding down of wars overseas has increased the ranks of veterans returning home looking to make a fresh start. Benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs have helped, too. The federal government pays 60 percent of Mr. Freeman's Manhattanville tuition as well as a stipend for his living expenses.
"I think part of it is the pervasiveness of sports and recognizing the opportunities," said Robin Ammon, who teaches the business of sports at the University of South Dakota and helps run the North American Society for Sport Management. "They're a little older and if they've been in combat, they realize life's pretty short, so they want to get involved now."

|Tensilica, Inc. is the leader in dataplane processor IP cores, with almost 200 licensees. Tensilica is different from other IP core vendors because our processor IP is customizable, both by our customers and by ourselves, says Paula. More in the interview:
PAULA JONES, Director of Marketing, Tensilica
|Can we have some background on Tensilica business and products?
Tensilica, Inc. is the leader in dataplane processor IP cores, with almost 200 licensees. Dataplane processors (DPUs) combine the best capabilities of DSPs and CPUs while delivering 10 to 100x the performance because they can be optimized using Tensilica's automated design tools to meet specific and demanding signal processing performance targets.
Tensilica's DPUs power SOC designs at system OEMs and seven out of the top 10 semiconductor companies for designs in mobile wireless, telecom and network infrastructure, computing and storage, and home and auto entertainment. Te n s i l i c a o f f e r s s t a n d a r d c o r e s a n d hardware/software solutions that can be used as is or easily customized by semiconductor companies and OEMs for added differentiation.
For more information on Tensilica's patented, benchmark-proven DPUs visit: www.tensilica.com. Tensilica is different from other IP core vendors because our processor IP is customizable, both by our customers and by ourselves. By customizing the processor, designers can get significant (10-100x in some cases) performance increases while saving significantly on the power budget. Tensilica applies its own technology to create off- the-shelf IP. Tensilica's HiFi Audio/Voice DSPs are the most popular licensable audio IP cores and have been licensed by over 50 companies. They are supported by a library of over 100 audio and voice codecs, and ideal for both low-power portable devices (like cell phones) and high-quality home entertainment systems and digital televisions. Tensilica's ConnX family of DSPs are ideal for baseband processing, particularly for the transition to LTE and LTE-Advanced communications, both in handsets and in base stations. The DSP family ranges from efficient 2-MAC DSPs all the way up to
64-MAC DSPs, with many choices in between. Tensilica's DPUs are ideal to handle the hard signal processing tasks in the SOC dataplane. They can provide the best combination of high performance, low power, and small area, exactly tailored to the specific application.What are the impacts of it on SoC and FPGA
The biggest impact of using IP cores is to speed chip design, both for SoCs and FPGAs. Time to market is critical for so many applications. The second biggest impact is to reduce cost. By licensing IP, design teams don't have to spend the money on engineers to develop the IP in the first place."Choosing an Intellectual Property Core for Chip Design is challenging task", can you suggest any guidelines? What are Tensilica advantages?
You need to clearly understand what you need. Here are five key questions to ask:1. What tasks need to be handled? This will help you decide between a simple 8-bit controller and a large 32-bit RISC core or a DSP. Tensilica has tools that help you modify your core for your exact application to eliminate waste and improve performance.
2. How much I/O bandwidth do you need? Most processors are limited to by the bus characteristics. Tensilica offers unique capabilities to stream data into and out of the processor, bypassing the bus. This is great for signal processing applications.. What software development tools does your team need? You need to make sure they are all available. Tensilica provides an automatically generated complete set of tools to match any modifications made to their processors.
5. What forms of technical support and training are available? You will need help. You will probably want to have your engineers take a training class. You'll want help 24/7. Tensilica is a big enough company to provide the support you need.
|Please explain Intellectual Property Core, how it is important in chip design?There are many types of IP that designers can use in their chip designs. The big advantage of using IP is that the particular functions are already designed, saving valuable design and verification time. An IP core is one of the most complex IP blocks available. Because it is based on a processor, it is programmable and should come with all the necessary compilers, debuggers, instruction set simulators, and other tools.
Usually, one IP core becomes the master controller for the chip design, but a lot of other IP cores can be used on the same chip. For example, there are often one or more cores performing complex dataplane signal processing functions such as baseband DSP, audio, video, security, and other functions.
IP cores are essential in chip designs because the cost of designing the IP is so high, it only makes sense if it is shared by many companies that use the IP. If companies had to design their own IP cores and associated tools, chip design would take too long and be too expensive.
Please explain Tensilica processor technology?Tensilica provides a tool we call the Processor Generator. Designers can select from a wide range of configuration options (for memories, add-on instructions, I/O, etc.) using click boxes and pull- down menus. Designers can add instructions using Tensilica's TIE (Tensilica Instruction Extension) language, a Verilog-like language. These instructions will speed up specific tasks for the project. The Processor Generator takes all this input and generates the processor as well as all of the matching software tools (debugger, ISS, etc.).
The processor technology is based on a 32-bit RISC architecture with optimized 16- and 24-bit instructions to keep code size to a minimum. Tensilica provides the tools to create optimized instructions that are much wider and contain multiple simultaneous instructions, which are essential for fast data processing.
What are the key applications of Tensilica cores? Please detail the features of your products?While Tensilica's cores can be used as the main controller on the chip, any application that requires a lot of data signal processing is ideal for Tensilica's cores. One of the biggest markets is audio, where Tensilica's HiFi audio DSP is the leading audio IP core, with over 100 software codecs already ported and over 50 companies using this as their audio IP. Another key market is baseband processing, where Tensilica's cores are used for wireless, LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and many other signal processing applications.
Which are your associating partners and alliances?
Tensilica partners with over 40 other companies to provide operating systems, hardware prototyping, emulation, probes, silicon and services, EDA and ESL tools, libraries, memories, interconnect, and application software. A full list is on our web site at http://www.tensilica.com/partners

Cullen Yates (1866 - 1945)
Cullen Yates (born Owen Yates) was an American painter and one of the founding members of the Old Lyme colony painters. He studied Impressionism under William Merritt Chase.
He was a native of Ohio and decided to pursue his studies in New York. At the age of 25, he was admitted to the National Academy of Design and acquired housing near the Shinnecock Hills art colony, located on Long Island.
He had the opportunity to travel to Paris to study at the Academie Julian, the Academie Colorossi and the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and Cullen Yates applied himself with a rare vigor. He attended all three schools simultaneously, dividing them between the morning, afternoon and night.
Upon returning to the United States, he became a teacher in Ohio. He realized, however, that the east coast was much more rich with contacts and eventually chose to move back to New York where he became acquainted with the artists who would eventually form the Old Lyme colony. He appears in the famous "Fox Chase" painting in the Griswold house were the boarders stayed for the season. He is depicted running madly after the fox, his grey suit nonetheless clean and crisp and his collar starched.
