When choosing a license to apply to your project, use an existing license instead of making up a new one. And don't just use any existing license — use one of the widely-used, well-recognized existing licenses.
Such licenses are familiar to many people already. If you use one of them, people won't feel they have to read the legalese in order to use your code, because they'll have already done so for that license a long time ago. Thus, you reduce or remove one possible barrier to entry for your project. They are also of a high quality: they are the products of much thought and experience; indeed most of them are revisions of previous versions of themselves, and the modern versions represent a great deal of accumulated legal and technical wisdom. Unless your project has truly unusual needs, it is unlikely you could do better, even with a team of lawyers at your disposal.
Below is a list of licenses that in my opinion meets these criteria; in parentheses are the standard formal abbreviation for the license and an authoritative URL for its full text. This list is not in order of preference, but rather in roughly descending order from strong copyleft at the top to completely non-copyleft at the bottom. The exact provisions of each license differ in various interesting ways (except for MIT and BSD, which differ only in uninteresting ways), and there isn't space here to explore all the possible ramifications of each for your project. However, many good discussions of that sort are available on the Internet; in particular the Wikipedia pages for these licenses generally give good overviews.
If you have nothing else to guide you and you want a copyleft license, then choose either the GPL-3.0 or the AGPL-3.0 — the difference between them will be discussed below — and if you want a non-copyleft license, choose the MIT license. I've put those licenses in boldface to reflect this:
GPL-3.0, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
AGPL-3.0, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/agpl.html)
MPL-2.0, https://www.mozilla.org/MPL/)
LGPL-3.0, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html)
EPL-1.0, https://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html) (Note that version 2 of the EPL was almost ready as of mid-2014, and may be out by the time you read this.)
MIT, https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT)
Apache-2.0, https://apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)
BSD-2-Clause, https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-2-Clause)
Note that there are some arguments for choosing the Apache License 2.0 as a default non-copyleft license, and they are nearly as compelling as those for choosing MIT. In the end, I come down in favor of MIT because it is extremely short, and both widely used and widely recognized[100]. While the Apache License 2.0 has the advantage of containing some explicit defenses against misuse of software patents, which might be important to your organization depending on the kind of project you're launching, the MIT license is fully compatible with all versions of the GNU General Public License, meaning that you can distributed, under any version of the GPL, mixed-provenance works that contain MIT-licensed code. The GPL-compatibility situation for the Apache License, on the other hand, is more complicated — by some interpretations, it is compatible with GPL version 3 only. Therefore, to avoid giving your downstream redistributors the headache of having to read sentences like the preceding ones, I just recommend the MIT license as the default non-copyleft license for anyone who doesn't have a reason to choose otherwise.
The mechanics of applying a license to your project are discussed in the section called "How to Apply a License to Your Software".
If you prefer that your project's code not be used in proprietary programs, or if you at least don't care whether or not it can be used in proprietary programs, the GNU General Public License is a good choice.
When writing a code library that is meant mainly to be used as part of other programs, consider carefully whether the restrictions imposed by the GPL are in line with your project's goals. In some cases — for example, when you're trying to unseat a competing, proprietary library that offers the same functionality — it may make more strategic sense to license your code in such a way that it can be mixed into proprietary programs, even though you would otherwise not wish this. The Free Software Foundation even fashioned an alternative to the GPL for such circumstances: the GNU Lesser GPL[101] The LGPL has looser restrictions than the GPL, and can be mixed more easily with non-free code. The FSF's page about the LGPL, https://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl.html, has a good discussion of when to use it.
The GPL has a well-known optional recommendation that you release software under the current version of the GPL while giving downstream recipients the option to redistribute it under any later (i.e., future) version. The way to offer this option is to put language like this in the license headers (see the section called "How to Apply a License to Your Software") of the actual source files:
This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
(Emphasis added.)
Whether you want to offer that option depends largely on how likely you think the Free Software Foundation is to make GPL revisions that you would approve of. I think the FSF has done a good job of that so far, and I generally do include that option when I use the GPL. That way I don't have to be responsible for updating the licenses myself forever — which is good, since I won't be around forever. Others can do it, either just to keep the software license up-to-date with legal developments, or to solve some future license compatibility problem that couldn't have been anticipated now (for example, see the compatibility discussion in the section called "The GNU Affero GPL: A Version of the GNU GPL for Server-Side Code" below).
Not everyone feels the same way, however; most notably, the Linux kernel is famously licensed under the GNU GPL version 2 without the "or any later version" clause, and influential kernel copyright holders, especially Linus Torvalds, have expressed clearly that they do not intend to move its license to version 3.0.
This book cannot answer the question of whether you should include the option or not. You now know that you have the choice, at least, and that different people come to different conclusions about it.
In 2007, the Free Software Foundation released a variant of the GPL called the GNU Affero GPL. Its purpose was to bring copyleft-style sharing provisions to the increasing amount of code being run as hosted services — that is, software that runs "in the cloud" on remote servers, that users interact with only over the network, and that therefore is not directly distributed to its users as executable or source code. Many such services use GPL'd software, often with extensive modifications, yet could avoid publishing their changes because they weren't actually distributing code.
The AGPL's solution to this was to take the GPL and add a "Remote Network Interaction" clause, stating "...if you modify the Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users interacting with it remotely through a computer network ... an opportunity to receive the Corresponding Source of your version ... at no charge, through some standard or customary means of facilitating copying of software." This expanded the GPL's enforcement powers into the new world of application service providers. The Free Software Foundation recommends that the GNU AGPL 3.0 be used for any software that will commonly be run over a network.
Note that the AGPL-3.0 is not directly compatible with GPL-2.0, though it is compatible with GPL-3.0. Since most software licensed under GPL-2.0 includes the "or any later version" clause anyway, that software can just be shifted to GPL-3.0 if and when you need to mix it with AGPL-3.0 code. However, if you need to mix with programs licensed strictly under the GPL-2.0 (that is, programs licensed without the "or any later version" clause), the AGPL3.0 wouldn't be compatible with that.
Although the history of the AGPL-3.0 is a bit complicated, the license itself is simple: it's just the GPL-3.0 with one extra clause about network interaction. The Wikipedia article on the AGPL is excellent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License
One common misunderstanding is that licensing your software under the GPL or AGPL requires you to provide source code to anyone who requests it under the terms of the license. But that's not quite how it works. If you are the sole copyright holder in a piece of software, then you are not bound by the copyright terms you chose, because (essentially) you can't be forced to sue yourself for copyright infringement. You can enforce the terms on others, but it's up to you to decide whether and when those terms apply to you. After all, because you had the software originally, you never "distributed" it to yourself and thus are not bound by the redistribution requirements of the license.
Of course, this only applies to situations where you own the whole copyright. If you include others' GPL- or AGPL-licensed code in your project and then distribute that project, you are not the sole copyright holder, and so you are as bound by the original terms as anyone else who uses and redistributes that code, either unmodified or as part of a derivative work.
One consequence of choosing the GPL (or AGPL) is the possibility — small, but not infinitely small — of finding yourself or your project embroiled in a dispute about whether or not the GPL is truly "free", given that it places some restrictions on how you redistribute the code — namely, the restriction that the code cannot be distributed under any other license. For some people, the existence of this restriction means the GPL is therefore "less free" than non-copyleft licenses. Where this argument usually goes, of course, is that since "more free" must be better than "less free" (after all, who's not in favor of freedom?), it follows that those licenses are better than the GPL.
This debate is another popular holy war (see the section called "Avoid Holy Wars"). Avoid participating in it, at least in project forums. Don't attempt to prove that the GPL is less free, as free, or more free than other licenses. Instead, emphasize the specific reasons your project chose the GPL. If the recognizability of license was a reason, say that. If the enforcement of a free license on derivative works was also a reason, say that too, but refuse to be drawn into discussion about whether this makes the code more or less "free". Freedom is a complex topic, and there is little point talking about it if terminology is going to be used as a stalking horse for substance.
Since this is a book and not a mailing list thread, however, I will admit that I've never understood the "GPL is not free" argument. The only restriction the GPL imposes is that it prevents people from imposing further restrictions. To say that this results in less freedom has always seemed perverse to me. If the retention of monopoly is somehow a freedom to be protected, then the word "freedom" is no longer meaningful.

1.) Find someone who's compelling. This means when you leave this person or are separated from them for a while you can't help but to think about them, be drawn to them, have that nag in your heart. Even when you have questions about them, it's difficult to walk away because there's something compelling about them. And this may sound all feeling but I'm talking actual personality traits, their values, physical qualities you like, or are attracted to, or you know are good, things you've thought about, observed.
2.)Redefine love for yourself. I've been in relationships in the past. Some long ones, where I've felt like I was in love, it may have been true or not but in my heart it felt real. And that feeling is impossible to shake. It stays with you forever and it became my definition of love, if it didn't look like this then it isn't love - that's what I felt even though my brain told me no! there's got to be other versions. That particular time, maturity, person, me, place, circumstance, weather, value where that version of what love was conceived can never be recreated. I was too weak to do anything about it, we as people are too weak to do anything about it. We live with it and are held captive to this particular definition of love and nothing could ever measure up to it. We're doomed, but one day we have to man up and beat down our heart and brain and tell them no! love can look like different, and will each and every time, let me feel what this new love is let it be real, help me clear the slate and welcome another.
3.)Reassess your values. Anything in your life that you make more important than anything else will be more important. That's it. I had to look at my life and honestly look into it and think about what I valued the most. The things I was most passionate about, thought about the most, worked on the most. Because this thing crowds out anything else. And if I didn't intentionally stop and examine I would've never noticed. One day I reassessed everything and changed the order of the things I valued and put a person before, in my case, art and my career.
4.)Make a decision. We usually wait to fall into things, or hope that the stars would align or certain circumstances would lead to something and I think that does happen (trust me, I'm a hopeless romantic I know) but you have a make decision, because sometimes it doesn't and then people move on. The decision could be the circumstance, it changes everything - it starts with the head and moves to heart. It's unexpected and risky, it's scariest thing because you've never experienced what might come after and now you've committed to jumping out that plane. It's crazy but it's the only way, you can't test everything before making a decision sometimes you just have to choose.

"Stand in the storm, beloved, and when the wind does not blow you away, adjust your sails."
Class, elegance, serenity.
This sprig of lavender will help you find your inner calm and weather the storm with poise.
While purple is the colour of royalty, and pink the colour of youth, lavender is femininity all grown up. Lavender represents refinement, grace and elegance.
The beautiful purple of its delicate flowers is associated with the crown chakra — the energy centre representing a higher purpose and spiritual connectivity. The crown chakra is located at the top of the head, like a crown, and its vibration is the highest vibration of the physical body.
This gentle flower bids you find the divinity in yourself, by connecting to a higher source of energy. Blessed is she who clearly sees the wood for the trees; to obtain a bird's eye view is to turn a blizzard into a breeze.
By cultivating your resilience, you can reach higher than the heights of what you often think you know, and survive things you thought unsurvivable.
So, straighten your back and carry this gentle crown with grace.

The world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and similar products has grown so large and particular that one can find multiple investment vehicles for just about any bet related to the markets. In some cases, ETFs have a broad mandate, such as an entire sector or even a large index of names. In other cases, the focus of the exchange-traded product can be narrow and esoteric. Exchange-traded products that rise along with the Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) likely fall within the latter category. In recent weeks, these products have proven to be highly lucrative as Wall Street fear levels have grown.
The Difficult Month of October
A report by ETF.com notes that from, Oct. 1 through Oct. 29 of 2018, the S&P 500 dropped by more than 9%. In turn, the VIX, which represents implied volatility, climbed to its highest levels since April. With a VIX level of 25, ETFs making bets on volatility surged ahead. For that same period, the iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX), which stands as the largest product of this type with more than $1 billion in assets under management (AUM), climbed by a whopping 50% or more.
Other related products ballooned by even larger percentages: the VelocityShares Daily 2X VIX Short-Term ETN (TVIX) more than doubled over this period thanks to its use of leverage. However, within the broader context of a large-scale decline across 2018, TVIX has so far not been able to generate positive returns year to date.
It's important to note that these two products have both given up much of their gains from October as of this writing. TVIX has retained a one-month gain of more than 20%, while VXX has seen gains closer to 15% as of this writing.
How ETFs Track the VIX
The VIX is seen as a barometer of investor concern. Because it typically rises when stocks dip and falls when stocks increase in price, it is often called a "fear gauge" for the market. However, an exchange-traded product cannot directly track movement in the VIX itself. The reason for this is that the portfolio that the VIX tracks is changing all the time.
Instead, VIX futures allow investors to make bets on how the VIX will shift over time. Investors believing that the VIX will move lower (or that stocks will rise) looking forward can seek to profit off of their estimations in the VIX futures space. Exchange-traded products that are related to the VIX typically engage with the volatility index in this secondary way – by packaging groups of VIX futures into larger products. Therefore, while an ETF may not track the VIX exactly, it does tend to move alongside VIX futures, which also tend to converge with the VIX the closer that a futures contract gets to expiration.
Implications for Investors
Investors interested in getting involved in the complex world of VIX exchange-traded products would do well to recognize that these investment vehicles are best used for short-term, tactical investments. Because the VIX and exchange-traded products that aim to track it tend to shift dramatically and frequently, these products are usually not seen as viable long-term investments.
Part of the reason for this timeframe also has to do with a concept known as contango. Contango refers to a scenario in which the price of a futures contract is above the expected spot price. VIX exchange-traded products that roll positions from futures contract to futures contract often must sell their contracts at a lower price, only to buy at a higher price. Thus, these products tend to take a loss as a result of cumulatively growing roll costs that increase over time. Nonetheless, as recent weeks have shown, investors timing their decisions carefully can make significant profits in this space.

Selena Gomez at the 2011 MTV EMA's
It is no secret that I absolutely love Selena Gomez. Couldn't resist posting the pictures from http://www.mtv.co.uk/events/emas
I own none of these photos.
She sure loves to show off her long legs! (I would to, if I had them) On only a slightly different note, people always complain that when Selena wears something daring no one calls her a slut unlike Miley Cyrus. I think that's the difference class makes ;)
(okay super fan mode)
Hell yea! While I may be least likely to go out and wear stuff like this, I love this trilogy and I would love to pull off this look - minus the tattoo, the short hair and the piercings. This cannot be worn in the Philippines though, given the unmerciful sun. I still would love to buy myself a pair of leather pants and be able to wear it with my leather jacket (maybe in Bahrain). If not, a pair of sexy leather biker shorts would do.

When it comes to passwords, length is what matters
Ever heard the rumor that you need upper case letters, lower case letters, symbols, and numbers in your passwords? This is called "password complexity." If you have to keep password complexity for compliance reasons, you have no choice, but otherwise—make your life easier—just switch to passwords that are 15 characters or longer—commonly referred to as passphrases.
If you make your passphrase something like "remember to finish the security project by next month," you can write it down on a piece of paper and stick it on your monitor. If someone sees that stuck to your monitor, they will think it is just a reminder note (which it is). Another example of a passphrase that would be hard to break is "take the family to go snow skiing in Colorado at night." That password is much more secure than "@ppl3E5."
Of course, if you save a file on your hard drive with all your passwords, nothing can help you if a criminal, or even a worker in your own office, finds the file.

Part of the Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing book series (STUDFUZZ, volume 270)
This book starts with the basic concepts of fuzzy sets and progresses through a normative view on possibility distributions and OWA operators in multiple criteria decisions.
Five applications (that all build on experience from solving complex real world problems) of possibility distributions to strategic decisions about closing/not closing a production plant using fuzzy real options, portfolio selection with imprecise future data, predictive probabilities and possibilities for risk assessment in grid computing, fuzzy ontologies for process industry, and design (and implementation) of mobile value services are presented and carefully discussed. It can be useful for researchers and students working in soft computing, real options, fuzzy decision making, grid computing, knowledge mobilization and mobile value services.

People power. For the win.
People Powered Victory!
We did it! Governor Inslee made a landmark decision today when he rejected the largest proposed oil train terminal in the United States. This is a major victory for our climate and communities. Governor Inslee determined that the project poses unacceptable risks to the health, safety, and sustainability of communities throughout the Northwest. Moreover, this makes space in Vancouver for projects that are good for the community.
Join us in thanking Governor Inslee for protecting the Pacific Northwest from one of the most reckless proposals in its history.
You made this victory possible. You spoke up, attended hearings, knocked on doors, and called your neighbors. You made Tesoro-Savage the most opposed project in the history of Washington's Energy Council, with over 300,000 comments urging denial of the proposal. Along the way, you became part of the Stand Up To Oil campaign. And, together, we have defeated every major oil train proposal in the Northwest. You created a movement to thwart fossil fuels at a time when federal agencies roll out the red carpet for Big Coal, Big Oil, and the fracked gas industry.
We salute the incredible work of Columbia River Tribes that stood up to oil-by-rail. We also salute the tireless work of countless people across the Northwest. Our community organizers empowered the public and turned out record-breaking crowds to hearing after hearing, and the brilliant attorneys from Earthjustice shined throughout this long fight.
From tribal nations, to business owners, nurses, fishermen, pastors, mayors, kids and so many more who spoke out passionately about our collective future, the power of the people prevailed over Big Oil. Savor this sweet victory. And let this victory inspire you to keep fighting to protect our climate, clean water, and the health and safety of our communities. We are indeed communities fueling change!
We look forward to building on this momentum with you in 2018 and beyond.

Why even our smallest routines are the stuff of worship.
"Baby, please go get Papaw."
I can't begin to count how many times I heard that simple command and ventured out to find my grandfather, who was working somewhere around the house. He was a man who was happy performing the most menial tasks. Washing cars. Painting trim. Cleaning the gutters. Spraying for weeds. But the chore I most often found him at was sweeping—and singing. My, how that man loved a clean sidewalk.
"When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more. And the morning breaks eternal, bright and fair . . ." He sang each word of the hymn in a clear baritone, accompanied by short, percussive whisks of the broom. Before I clapped eyes on the back of his seersucker shirt, I knew where he was. All I had to do was follow the cheerful sound to its source.
As a child, I thought he was singing simply to pass the time, the way he did when he picked cotton for hours on end as a boy in the hot Arkansas summer. But now, a year after his passing, I've come to realize the chores Papaw did—and the way he went about them—were so much more than labor. They were liturgy.
It's a concept Tish Harrison Warren understands well. As an Anglican priest and writer who also happens to be a wife and mother of two girls, she wakes up each morning facing a formidable to-do list. How does one find time to pursue holiness amid the rush of responsibilities?
The answer comes in Warren's first book, Liturgy of the Ordinary: Sacred Practices in Everyday Life (InterVarsity Press). Chapter by chapter, she explains how the most routine tasks, if done with an eye on the eternal, become extraordinary. "We are shaped every day, whether we know it or not, by practices—rituals …

monikit receives EUR 1.86 million funding for the further development of its mobile seizure-detector for epileptics
- Supported by Life Science Inkubator (LSI) Bonn
- Novel system for the detection and documentation of epileptic seizures allows for personalized treatment
Tuebingen/Bonn (Germany), November 22, 2018 – Tuebingen-based spin-out project monikit today announced the start of its incubation at Life Science Inkubator (LSI) Bonn. The incubation comes with a project funding of EUR 1.86 million and is supported by seasoned life science and medtech experts.
monikit is developing a system for the sensitive and automatic detection and documentation of generalized and focal seizures in everyday situations. The technology is based on a mobile sensor system and a proprietary algorithm. monikit's product for the first time will enable the recording of unbiased information on occurrence and type of epileptic seizures during the everyday life of patients. For the patient's physician it will be easier to individually adapt the medication towards faster and improved clinical results. In addition, monikit's technology can be used to alert family members in case of a severe seizure.
The monikit idea was developed by founders Florian Lutz and Kevin Klett during their Master studies. Prof. Dr. Yvonne Weber, scientific advisor of monikit and Senior Physician with focus on epileptology in the neurology department of University Hospital Tuebingen and the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH), immediately realized the potential of a mobile detector for seizures. At University Hospital Tuebingen, the project team successfully identified characteristic medical values that are changing during seizures. These values now constitute the basis of monikit's algorithm for the detection of seizures.
At LSI, monikit will receive approximately €1.86 million research and development funding from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) over the next three years. The team will use the proceeds to fund the next steps of its technology and product development.
"We identified a great demand for a mobile seizure-detector, both for personalized therapy and for the monitoring of outpatients with epilepsy," said Kevin Klett. Florian Lutz added: "As a first step, we will use the funding to strengthen our team in computer and data science and to greatly extend our clinical data collection among epileptics."
"We are quite happy to not only provide this ambitious project and the highly committed project team with funding, but also with access to our huge medtech network and know-how," said Dr. Jörg Fregien, CEO of LSI.
About epilepsy
With more than 50 million patients, epilepsy is among the most common neurological disorders world-wide. The disease is characterized by repeated, non-provoked generalized or focal epileptic seizures. The latter are constrained to an area of the brain only and often visually unobtrusive for bystanders, while generalized seizures affect the entire cerebrum and usually are associated with stiffening of the body and rhythmic convulsions. Treatment of the condition initially is pharmacological. However, for a lasting success, therapy needs a precise diagnosis of the disease, based on documented and classified seizures both in the clinical and the outpatient setting.
About monikit
Since 2016, the monikit project group has been conducting research in collaboration with physicians and epileptologists Dr. Dr. Henner Koch and Prof. Dr. Yvonne Weber, neurology department of the Hertie Institute for Clinical Brain Research (HIH), University Hospital Tuebingen. Initially, the project was funded by the EXIST Business Start-up Grant of the Federal Ministry of Economy (BMWi, 2016); subsequently it was funded by the "Young Innovators" program of the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg´s Ministry of Science, Research and Arts (2017/18). By joining LSI, monikit will receive EUR 1.86 million funding over three years.

When she would look in the mirror she would not see the confident woman she was, but rather someone self conscious about her sagging neck and double chin. In her youth she had always had a beautifully defined jaw line and had noticed with age that there had been less and less definition under her chin. She came to her Doctor looking for a non surgical approach to treating this area. After only a few Kybella treatments this patient began to see a drastic improvement. Since the procedure her neck and chin have lifted and been redefined giving her a more youthful appearance.

S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, Nevada 89054
Depends on the viewer
Instagram influencers, art-lovers, spectacle-seekers
Art lovers of all ages
What's this place all about?Now that it's opened near Jean Dry Lake, the large-scale public work "Seven Magic Mountains" can be seen by anyone arriving (or leaving) Las Vegas via I-15, 10 miles south of the Strip. The massive, 30-foot-high neon-painted limestone totems cut an incredible picture against the desert. Artist Ugo Rondinone's piece took several years to plan in this area, but all you have to do is follow the driving directions and show up. The work will be on view until 2021.
What's it like being there?As you're driving past it on I-15, either to or from Las Vegas, the work looks like neon ice cream cones rising from the desert floor. It's awe-inspiring, for sure, but in an otherworldly, wacky way.
Is there a guide involved?There's not a guide involved; you show up and admire.
Who comes here?The most dedicated fans of the landmark these days have been Instagram influencers, but it will appeal to art appreciators of all stripes.
Did it meet expectations?Despite the fact that the structures are perfectly stable, they appear wobbly. They also alter your sense of size—it's hard not to feel small and humble when standing next to them.
So, then, what, or who, do you think it's best for?This art is easy to see, particularly since it's already on your way in or out of town. If nothing else, it will help reinforce the fact that there's a tremendous amount of barren, beautiful desert beyond the Strip.
Got the skinny on this place? Let our editors know!

Client Feedback
What Our Clients Are Saying
ATS Automation Tooling Systems Inc.
Kelley MacAulay Human Resources
"We had a great experience working with the Conestoga Corporate Training department to prepare a custom course for our organization. We found the service to be extremely responsive. Together we were able to create and organize a custom course to specifically address the needs of our employees with only two weeks from inception to delivery, which I didn't think would be possible. We are also now receiving positive feedback from our employees regarding the course content. We will certainly keep the Conestoga Corporate Training department in mind for future training needs."
Babcock & Wilcox Canada
Brian Newman, Skills Training Specialist
"Babcock and Wilcox Canada have developed a long term training plan for our skilled employees. In addition to internal shop floor training we also saw the need to invest in good quality practical and theoretical training. To this end we chose Conestoga College as our education partner because of the diversity and depth that only their experience can offer. Conestoga College has proven to be a great partner for Corporate Training requirements."
Research in Motion
John-Paul McEvoy B. Eng
Hardware Design, Reliability
"Outstanding instructor. Well informed professional presentation and easily understood. This course clearly outlines the basics for risk assessment and safety in the machine shop. Content introduces the student to fundamentals such as general machine shop housekeeping, protective devices, correct lifting procedures and common electrical hazards. The instructor effectively managed to keep the subject matter interesting and relevant with plenty of anecdotes gained from his many years of experience in the industry."
Carlisle Canada
Jeff Jackson, CHRP
Manager, Human Resources
"We found Conestoga College to be an ideal supplier of customized training for our varied Microsoft Office Excel needs. Our employee's skills required upgrading and standardization across our work groups. The course content of the Microsoft Office Excel: Level I and Level II were delivered separately. The instructor was able to adjust to our various skill levels and teach results-oriented lessons that related directly to our workplace. The private classroom at Conestoga College provided not only a great environment for learning but also valuable team-building experience."
RJB Machining
Alison Wills
"I recently worked with Conestoga College and they developed a training program specific to our employee needs. They worked with me to create a two day program to help our employees. It was a great experience; the employees learned a lot and were very happy with the format. I would definitely recommend this type of program to others; here's what our employees had to say:"
"I found the GD&T course at Conestoga College very informative. The course was well conducted by the instructor, Bob Blazewicz. He proved to be very knowledgeable on the topic and made the subject matter enjoyable and easy to understand. With his use of props, white board and video along with clear and precise communication it was much easier to follow his instruction and better understand the subject matter. I would recommend this course to any individual or company that uses GD&T in their work. Taking this course would allow someone to begin to understand GD&T principles quicker than any other course I am aware of."
"The instructor has the ability to turn what could have been a very dry experience into something interesting. I was lost for the first five hours but then things started to make sense. There is a lot to learn in a short time but I think that we will all benefit from this course."

7:10 p.m. ET; FS-SUN, SNLA, MLB.TV
Two of the best pitching staffs in baseball will not have much time to get acquainted as their two-game interleague series concludes Wednesday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.
The Tampa Bay Rays, who lead baseball with a 3.05 staff ERA, are playing host to a Los Angeles Dodgers team that is trying its best to be an unruly visitor. The Dodgers took a 7-3 victory in the series opener Tuesday as Clayton Kershaw held the Rays scoreless into the seventh inning.
The strong outing from Kershaw gives the Dodgers a 3.36 staff ERA, which ranks second in the National League. The Cincinnati Reds passed the Dodgers for first place in the NL at 3.34 when they shut out the Milwaukee Brewers on Monday.
The Dodgers now turn to another left-hander, Rich Hill, who was an unexpected weak link on the starting staff after he returned from a knee injury that delayed the start to his season.
Hill gave up 11 runs over his first three starts beginning with his April 28 return, but his 4.20 ERA at that point could have been worse if not for four unearned runs. Then came his start Friday at Cincinnati when he struck out 10 and gave up two hits over six scoreless innings, doing it all in a tidy 84 pitches.
It left Hill 1-1 with a 3.00 ERA and a sense that the expected No. 2 starter when the season began is now in sync with his trusty breaking ball and a far simpler plan moving forward.
"We really just went back to the drawing board, stuck with fastballs and breaking balls," Hill said after Friday's game. "Just getting the fastball down and throwing everything downhill so it opens up the top of the zone as well."
Because of his time in the American League, the veteran Hill does have 11 appearances (two starts) against the Rays and has a 2-0 record with a 4.82 ERA.
Hunter Wood started and gave up an unearned run in two innings Tuesday for Tampa Bay. That gives Rays starters an AL-leading 2.48 ERA, the best in baseball. After Kershaw allowed two runs, the Dodgers' ERA is 2.99 from their starters, best in the NL.
After Tuesday's game, the Rays named right-hander Ryne Stanek (0-1, 3.70 ERA) as their opener on Wednesday. Stanek will be making his major-league-leading 13th start, but none have gone more than two innings.
His last outing as an opener came Friday against the New York Yankees when he gave up one run over two innings and struck out three. He has never faced the Dodgers during his three major league seasons.
While the clash between top pitching staffs was quick, there is another short series between the teams later this season. The Rays will visit Dodger Stadium for two games Sept. 17-18.
Tuesday was the start of a stretch where the Rays will play 13 consecutive days, followed by a stretch where they play 21 games in 20 days.
"It's going to be a test, physically and mentally," Rays outfielder Kevin Kiermaier said, according to the Tampa Bay Times. "You have to find ways."
The Rays expect infielder Yandy Diaz to return to the lineup Wednesday. He was a late scratch Tuesday, two days after he was hit on the left hand by a pitch in a Sunday road game against the New York Yankees.

Westport police chief, First Selectman 'horrified' by George Floyd's death
WESTPORT — The town's police chief and First Selectman emphasized the importance of trust in a community as protests continued across the nation Saturday.
The protests were sparked by the death of George Floyd after a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes while he was handcuffed, face down and saying he could not breathe.
Protests have popped up from coast to coast since Floyd died Monday, reaching Connecticut on Friday with a protest at the capitol. By Saturday, there were protests in Hartford, Bridgeport and Stratford.
In a joint statement Saturday, Chief Foti Koskinas and First Selectman Jim Marpe said they were "horrified and deeply disappointed by the recent tragedy in Minneapolis."
"The Westport Police Department, like so many others across our country, has worked diligently to build relationships and trust within our communities; a trust which we and our national partners in law enforcement recognize must be incrementally earned and always carefully maintained," Koskinas said. "Fostering this trust among our community through a steadfast dedication to public service continues to be our top priority."
Marpe emphasized that the town's commitment to fairness, equality and social justice "is stronger than ever."

Cerro Provincia
What`s here?
Natural sights
Cerro Provincia is a mountain on the eastern side of Santiago, Chile. It is a popular climb due to its accessibility and low level of difficulty by mountaineering standards (an 'F' or 'easy' on the Alpine scale). The peak has an altitude of 2,750 metres (9,022 ft) and a climb requires an altitude gain of almost 2000 meters from the highest road-accessible point. There is a small dome-shaped refuge shelter at the summit. There are fairly well traveled paths that go to the summit and marker posts. The peak offers a spectacular view of Santiago to the west, the Andes to the east, and Cerro El Plomo (another popular climb) to the north.
There are several trails to access the mountain. The shortest, best marked and most commonly used trail starts near Ñilhue (the Ñilhue Bridge) in the valley on the north side that contains a stream feeding the Mapocho River. The entrance at Puente Ñilhue is accessible by taxi ride from Santiago. As of 2011, there is a guard at the entrance of the trail where all hikers need to register and pay 1,500 Chilean pesos. The trail officially opens at 8:00 and closes at 20:00. If you are planning on hiking outside these times you need to contact the guards in advance.
People in fair physical condition can make the full ascent and descent in one day but it is quite exhausting. The ascent takes about 5–7 hours (without heavy backpacks) and the descent about 4–5 hours for average hikers. The start of the ascent from the northern-route includes a steep, rocky section where hikers need to hold on to an installed iron chain (a via ferrata) for several meters. This may give a false impression of the subsequent climb because no such fixture is encountered afterwards. Subsequently, the first two hours of the trail are steep, reaching a wide-open area known as Alto del Naranjo, with the biggest tree of all the trail (the Great Tree) right in the middle, which is visible from most of the rest of the trail all the way to the top. This is followed by about an hour of relatively flat section, which ends at the last tree on the trail (Pawel's Tree). The next two hours are again steep, and on loose rocky ground which makes it difficult to walk up and down. The last hour requires climbing up and down some big boulders, and there is a small section just before the summit where hands must be used (see scrambling).
People who are not in good condition should allow for extra time in climbing, give longer breaks, take into account the return trip which is also physically demanding, and should consider doing the hike in two days.
There are several excellent camping sites on the lower part of the mountain, and there is a refuge at the top which can accommodate 6 people comfortably. However, the nights at the summit can be near freezing even in the hottest days of the summer, and while the refuge protects from the strong winds at the top, it does not protect from the cold. Climbers intending on camping at the summit should bring warm clothing and an appropriately rated sleeping bag.
The mountain is extremely hot, dry, and shadeless during the summer and an ample amount of water is crucial. There is a watering-station early on in the climb on the north route to the summit of the sub-peak called Alto del Naranjo, but in general hikers should start with their full water supply: 3 liters or more per day is recommended.
The mountain is not technical and a non-winter summit requires little equipment besides perhaps a hiking stick and a comfortable pair of boots. Rope is not necessary.
The mountain does not contain much vegetation or animal life and their presence dwindle with altitude. Mostly there are cacti, small shrubs, short trees, lizards, occasional viscachas, and birds, including hawks and condors. There are also feral horses and even donkeys and cows. The horses can occasionally be seen grazing even at the summit.

Egg whites are a great source of lean protein. They are low in calories and yet, the protein content fills you up and stimulate your metabolism.
Moreover, eggs are cheap, easy and quick to cook. So, I always load up on and store them in the fridge.
Here are 5 ways to eat egg whites as a healthy late night snack.
1. You can always keep some boiled eggs in the fridge for whenever you need to grab a quick and easy high protein snack. I like to eat egg whites with soy sauce so they don't taste bland.
2. Remove yolks from hard boiled eggs and fill them with salsa/hummus/guacamole/tuna. This is similar to deviled eggs but without the egg yolk mixture!
3. Scrambled egg whites with your choice of vegetables and cheese (optional).
4. Egg white omelette with your choice of vegetables and cheese (optional).
5. Egg drop soup (or egg white in broth)
Bring broth to boil and turn heat down to a simmer. Slowly pour in beaten egg white and stir in a clockwise direction to produce thin shreds. Turn off heat. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with green onion and serve.
Optional: add your choice of vegetables (mushroom, spinach, tomatoes, bok choy, etc) before dropping in egg white.

Things that gain from disorder
Author: Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Publisher: Penguin Books
Year: 2013
Pages: 544
Antifragile is not what you call easy material. Neither to read, nor to summarize. This book is many things and definitely not what you expected. But at least, I can promise you won't get bored because the author is not fooling around spending 500 pages for some 50 pages ideas. Each paragraph is rich in information and pretty useful. Taleb explains the ethics of Fragility and Antifragility, answering a lot of questions like: how we missed the word antifragility in classrooms, where do we find overcompensation, why death is a necessity for life, which are the benefits of error for the collective, how antifragility of the whole often depends on the fragility of the parts, which are the flaws of intellectualism. He goes on with many other questions that people are too afraid to ask, or have no one to talk about with. He even dares to say that obsessive love is the most antifragile thing outside the economics.

Cocktails in the Country: "Gaz's Suggestions Have Been Effective for Being Compassionate"
"I've been to orientations and seminars and even an EBT (Food stamps) 'how to fill in an application and go to an interview' class and always left like it was some basic shit. But CitC was not like that.
"It was hosted by a Barman that has really figured life out, and has distilled it down to what's important, while being well spoken and humble about it all.
"I went back to work and have already used some of his suggestions which have been effective for being compassionate with a clientele that often doesn't acknowledge the bartender's existence. Thanks Gaz,"
Joshua James, Middle Branch, New York, NY

Well, I survived. The Walk to Emmaus brought the first night that Matt and I have been apart since getting married 6 months ago. I don't know how Matt is doing on his Walk (they tell the spouses to stay away as much as possible to not be a distraction), but I had a rough night!
The Walk to Emmaus in Chattanooga is held at Camp Lookout (on Lookout Mtn about 40 minutes from our house). Matt told me at dinner before I took him up the mountain that he forgot to pack a TOWEL! Dangit! They have a pretty strict schedule for the weekend, so there was no going home to get it before going up. I didn't leave the mountain until about 9:45pm. I got home, walked dogs, packed a towel, drove back up the mountain, dropped it off, and drove back home. I finally got in bed last night, totally exhausted, at about 12:15am. What? Sleep? NO, I was SO tired and SO without husband that I couldn't fall asleep!!! It seemed like an eternity before I finally fell asleep. Oh, and BTW I had to get up at 6am this morning, no excuses - must be up.
As I write this, I wonder, why the heck am I up now??? I'm exhausted.
Anyway, I hope Matt is being blessed by his Walk. No matter what it was all worth it. I love him, and I miss him a lot!!!

|THB per share
|Book value
PTT Global Chemical is part of Oil and Gas Producers business, which is part of Oil and Gas industry. PTT Global Chemical is a company from Thailand, and his stocks are publicly traded.
PTT Global Chemical paid a total dividend of 8,974 million THB last year, for a market value of 207,524 millions (Market Cap 93,376 millions). Dividend per share of PTT Global Chemical is 2.00 THB, and his stock market price 46.25 THB.
According to the chart below, where dividend yield is displayed, PTT Global Chemical has a dividend yield of 4.32%, which is similar to the amount offered by both the market average and companies from Thailand. However, it is lower than the average of Oil and Gas industry. The company should be deeply analized because dividend yields should be similar among companies from the same industry unless they carry an opposite strategy.
In addition, you should compare PTT Global Chemical dividend yield with other Oil and Gas Producers companies or firms from Thailand.
About the ability of PTT Global Chemical to maintain his current dividend of THB 2.00 per share, an amount that accounts for 4.32%, we should study its payout ratio both on earnings and on cash-flows (see chart below). PTT Global Chemical payout on ernings is currently 72.20%, which is higher than the market average, and companies of Oil and Gas industry, which are 37.68% and 39.48% respectively. Both figures show that PTT Global Chemical can have problems to keep with his present dividend yield.
The payout on earnings should be complemented with the payout on cash flow since it is this last amount the one which can be distributed to shareholders. Cash flow per share of PTT Global Chemical is THB 6.80 per share, which is higher than the dividend per share paid by the company of THB 2.00, so the company generates enough cash to maintain his dividend in the future.
The following figure shows payout ratios over earnings and cashflow of PTT Global Chemical, compared againt world market average, Thailand companies, Oil and Gas industry and Oil and Gas Producers sector companies.
Finally, last moth PTT Global Chemical showed a return of -1.60% compared to a worldwide 4.38% average, and a 0.86% of Oil and Gas firms. Over the last year, the company obtained a -13.10% versus a worldwide performance of a 2.09%.
