Help, I forgot my username and/or password
'We are going to change the industry going forward', says CEO Marwan Lutfi
Henryk Sunday, 19 March 2017 9:00 AM - UAEThere are many tips, dos and donts to engage and motivate employees. Motivators must always match the bank?s ethics and values not fear factor, conspiracy theories, bullying and intimidations.
Diya Pardasani Tuesday, 14 March 2017 8:58 AM - UAEFinally Credit Bureau, working to live up to its responsibility. Wish it was there in 2008. Nevertheless, better late then never. My doubt is, the data they have, how credible it is to provide any relevant information to users ie: Banks and financial institutes ? How many banks have actually used the information astutely to minimize the risk posed by borrowers? Is it for the benefit of lender or borrower? How frequently is the record updated ? There are many such questions that need to be answered before any judgement is passed. In my opinion bureau should jointly work with residency department to centralize the data that can be captured through emirates ID. Such a step will take care of all the bureaucracy and malpractices going around in the lending systems & keep borrowers updated of their debt.
The whole exercise of credit bureau should not only be restricted to provide reports on borrowers, but also should help them be aware of their leverage and manage their finances well.
Kavitha Monday, 13 March 2017 8:40 AM - UAEWhat makes so many devoted bankers submit their resignations voluntarily in a tough economy? A morally corrupt incorrigible manager.
Srinivas R Monday, 13 March 2017 8:40 AM - UAETimes have changed and mentalities must also change. It is time to shed the old and battered school of thought and acquire fresh blood and perspective in a fiercely competitive market. Senior managers who keep slandering other esteemed managers in the most obnoxious expletives, and continuously use the fear factor and conspiracy theories as a motivator for the sole purpose of extending their short and precarious tenure, such desperate managers couldn't care less about the bank, their staff and their customers.
MT3 Sunday, 12 March 2017 11:49 AM - UAEI have had no debt -including mortgage for over 10 years - in fact I have never borrowed a fil in UAE. I have had the same credit card for 7 years without missing one payment. I have recently travelled a lot and for the first time missed my scheduled credit card payment by one day. I was rung by the bank at 7.45am this morning and told I have missed the payment and they have passed my details onto the credit bureau. I couldn't care less because I never borrow money except for the fact the same bank despite my protests bombard me with cold calls trying to lend me money at least twice a week. How ironic that the latest call was received about ten minutes after I was informed that I was now on the credit blacklist. They offered me a pre-authorized loan for over ten times the amount owing on the card. What a joke.
Edwin Sunday, 12 March 2017 8:28 AM - UAEInsecure managers make terrible bosses. All these startling revelations are clear manifestations of very insecure managers. Falsification of data, intimidations, bullying, petty office politics, discriminations, maligning other managers, deep distrust of others, fear used as a motivator, and feeding the staff with conspiracy theories are all evident signs of very insecure managers deliberately trying to conceal something. Insecure managers can bring the whole department falling like a pack of cards and putting in jeopardy the contentment of customers and the profitability and reputation of the bank, which may never be salvaged.
Patrick Thursday, 9 March 2017 8:19 AM - UAEThese unprincipled managers were under the impression that the watchdogs were in deep slumber when these managers were actually surrounded by these vigilant watchdogs closely observing their every moves; this is truly heartening and reassuring.
Rajeshwar Thursday, 9 March 2017 8:19 AM - UAEEven though the can of worms has finally been opened and will remain open, there is no harm in ruminating and retrospecting on the missed opportunities to instill integrity, promote ethics and inculcate morals.
Samuel Thursday, 9 March 2017 8:19 AM - UAEIf only these corrupt managers heeded the voice of reason instead of ridiculing it, intimidating it and muffling it, if only, if only.
Thomas Wednesday, 8 March 2017 8:45 AM - UAEBanks need integrity not just stress tests so enough with the vague and vain platitudes, it is time to restore some trust and improve standards in the banking and finance industry at the top. The solemn oath for senior managers should be honesty, integrity and ethics towards the bank, its employees and its customers.

I use PGP/GPG to handle email encryption on the PC and Android (via APG). Surely there is a PGP/GPG client for IOS? Forgive me, if not, as I don't own an iPhone.
Can't vouch for either since I don't trust my iPhone to begin with. It's a proprietary black box - so any sense of real personal data security you may have is either wishful thinking, or misplaced hope at best.

PhD, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 2010
MHA, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 2002
My research interests remain focused on the conduct of evaluations of maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) interventions in low and middle-income countries. Much of my work to date has focused on the design, implementation, and evaluation of new technologies and community-based packages of integrated MNCH services, including conducting health impact and outcome assessments; economic analyses (cost-effectiveness/ utility, equity); assessments of MNCH service availability and accessibility; quality of care; health information systems; and ensuring the sufficiency and optimal use of human resources. In recent years, I have additionally worked on numerous large-scale evaluations aimed quantifying burden of disease (e.g maternal and child mortality in Afghanistan); exploring optimal service integration (e.g. Family planning into a platform of MNCH services in Bangladesh); and/or improving services delivery (e.g. midwifery services in Afghanistan; effectiveness of community health workers and community to facility linkages in Tanzania and Bangladesh, etc.).
Beyond my broader interests in MNCH and evaluation research, I am presently the M&E Technical Lead for the Johns Hopkins University Global mHealth Initiative. In collaboration with Drs. Alain Labrique, Smisha Agarwal, and Garrett Mehl of WHO we are working with colleagues to establish standards for evaluating the effectiveness of mHealth solutions in a number of settings globally as well as grading the current state of evidence.

Manager Peter Taylor is in no rush to make a decision on Gillingham's trialists.
Winger Josh Stanford and left-back Gary Borrowdale played the first half of Gills' 2-0 friendly win at Bromley on Tuesday.
Taylor wants to give Stanford every chance to prove he is capable of stepping up from non-league football.
The former Tunbridge Wells wideman was on trial at Ryman League Maidstone when he was invited along to Gills.
Taylor said: "I'm still looking at Josh. I didn't know him before he came in and I'm not putting a time limit on him.
"From what I've seen, he has a good attitude, a good left foot and good balance."
Borrowdale is still trying to convince Taylor he can handle the physical demands of League 1 after a spell out of the game.
The Gills manager added: "Gary's got to get himself to the levels I'm looking for. It's not that I expect more of him because I know what a good player he can be – it's simply that he needs to reach a certain level of fitness to play in League 1."

For those returning to India, his message: be an entrepreneur - don't go seeking a job. That's the spirit of America. For those staying on in America, he said you should serve the country you are living in.

They tell you there's life after college, but you're skeptical. You remember the routine growing up: Having your parents drag you around to school events, soccer games, and sleepovers. Finding them passed out on the couch by 10, even on New Year's Eve. Tip-toeing around them in the summer, because they were one kid-induced mess away from having a complete meltdown.
Yet somehow, your parents made it work. Despite the utter chaos and exhaustion of raising a family, they always insisted you were the best thing that happened to them. (And they actually meant it!)
Now that college is over, will you become your parents? Will exhaustion and near-anarchy be your new normal? Once you have a family to look after, it probably will be. But you're a long way off from that very grown-up reality.
For now, your prime focus is you. College is over, and so is life as you know it. Now you get a fresh start. Here's a basic survival guide for you, the recent graduate, to make your making your post-college life a happy one.
Remember: You've been through this before.
Homesickness, or "college-sickness" in your case, happens when you start reminiscing about the life you don't have anymore. Remember your first semester of college? It was a blur of confusion and uncertainty. But four years went by, and you forgot all about those lonely times. They've since been replaced by happier memories.
Adjusting to college didn't happen in a day. Why would post-college be any different? The college afterlife is awkward, overwhelming, and pretty uncomfortable. Just roll with it. You know the uneasiness will pass, just like it did four years ago.
Have a quick answer for the world's worst question.
I'm going to ask you a question, and you're going to hate it. I promise.
So, college grad, what are you doing now?
What's your go-to response? Please, please don't let it be, "I don't know." That answer might be true, but no one wants to hear it. Your tuition-paying parents don't want to hear it. Your curious, well-meaning neighbor doesn't want to hear it. Your hard-working, no-nonsense grandparents definitely don't want to hear it. That answer will make everyone, even you, feel deflated.
Until you have something lined up, just make up an answer. Tell people you're traveling. You're living at home to save money. You're looking for a job in the fill-in-the-blank industry. Whatever your answer is, own it. That concerned look on your parents' faces will never go away, no matter how you're doing. But at least a definitive answer will keep them off your back.
Just go for it.
Now that you've made up a story, why not try it out? You don't have to pinpoint what you want to do right now. Instead, start checking off what you don't want to do.
It's not supposed to be easy.
You grew up with the "You can do it!" mantra, and you have the trophies, ribbons, and diploma to prove it. The promise of college kept you motivated in high school, and the promise of a career kept you going through college. The problem is, now that you have a degree, no one's telling you how to use it.
That's because there's no "right way" to do anything after college. Find your way by prioritizing one goal over everything else. It could be finding work, kickstarting a new hobby, saving up for a trip, paying off a chunk of your student loans, or moving to LA. Pick something—anything!— and run with it. Defining your priorities will revive that sense of purpose you thought you lost.
Job hunting is a job.
It runs way longer than a 9-5, it kills your self-confidence, and worse—it doesn't even pay the bills. We know the job search is tough, but it will pay off. You'll send out troves of cover letters, get a couple "no thank you's," get even more non-responses, and be turned down after a promising interview. But keep looking, because you will find something. It takes just one offer to quit this miserable day job
And your first job isn't your last.
Say you start that new job, and it's not even close to what you expected. Your manager's a dud, your coworkers are boring, and the coolest thing about your office is the free coffee. Don't panic. This is the first of many steps toward career-dom. Your first full-time gig is not an indicator of how your future jobs will be.
Be skeptical of people you meet.
You'll be dating around, meeting up with strangers, inviting new friends to your home, and hanging out with people you barely know. To get the inside scoop on those new friends in your life, look them up online. A background check can help you find out if they've got any skeletons in their closet.
But you get what you need.
What do lottery winners and paraplegics have in common? Within a year of their life-changing event, they're equally as happy. According to psychologist Dan Gilbert, major life changes have virtually no impact on our happiness. We just need a little time to adjust to them. How much time? Believe it or not, as little as three months.
Landing a job, losing a job, moving home, moving away from home, starting a relationship, or breaking up. In three months, your biggest losses will not make you any less happy. In fact, according to his research, not getting what you want can make you just as happy.
So, next time you have the "worst day ever," channel your inner Jagger and make some moves!
Don't forget: You always have a fan club.
Wherever you find yourself after college, don't forget you have people rooting for you. Your family and friends are moving on with their lives, but they won't forget about you. Whenever you need a little extra support, don't be afraid to reach out. You have plenty of loved ones who can't wait to hear from you.

June 3, 2014 - Products
Ken-Tool has a new heavy duty Universal Wheel Weight Hammer. It is designed to speed up the installation and removal of clip-on wheel weights on light and heavy-duty trucks.
The hammer is 12-in. long and features a 2.5 lbs. cast steel head -- nearly twice as heavy as comparable wheel weight hammers. It has a non-marring, replaceable polyvinyl strike face that is 1.50 in. in diameter. The hammer's greater mass and large strike face allows a technician to efficiently install the wheel weight with a single blow.
The fiberglass handle uses a shock resistant, ergonomic design to provide technician comfort with or without gloves, and to reduce fatigue. Designed for use in a heavy-duty commercial environment, it has a rubber grip, which resists common shop chemicals and is four times stronger than a typical wooden handle.
The Ken-Tool Universal Wheel Weight Hammer works with all types of clip-on wheel weights -- lead, zinc and steel. The mar-free strike face protects the surface of aluminum wheels and chrome plated steel wheels from damage caused by an errant hammer strike.

Almost 80 per cent of Americans commute less than 40 miles to work round trip, reports MSN Autos. Toyota Prius owners can opt for plug-in conversions that allow their hybrid to run on larger batteries and complete short commutes using little or no gasoline.
Other People Are Reading
A plug-in conversion turns a normal Prius into a plug-in hybrid that needs to be recharged at a power source once the battery runs low.
Modifying a Prius so that it requires a trip to the recharging station might seem counterintuitive. However, a plug-in conversion Prius can support more or larger batteries, leading to a significant spike in gas mileage on short trips.
Prius plug-ins are a relatively new technology. The first conversion kits were released in late 2010. That means the conversion is expensive and might not justify the savings of a lower gas bill.

Ratings for Dr. Cameron Purdon
Excellent healthcare professional. Dr. Purdon made me feel welcome and has genuine concern. If you want the facts, this is the place to be. The staff is phenomenal and very pleasant to deal with......always!
Do *not* see Dr. Purdon for trans-related care. He is not familiar with current practices or standards of care, actively works as a gatekeeping to HRT and trans related care and will send you on numerous and thoroughly unnecessary referrals. Thankful to be out of his care and in better hands now.
Dr. Purdon has been my doctor for probably 25 years and you couldn't ask for a better doctor. His knowledge and caring have been consistent throughout. He will personally call you after hours to discuss concerns. His receptionist Mary is wonderful too!
He is the best doctor I have ever had. He goes the extra mile and cares about your health. Even personally calls you at 8pm at night to help you. Thank you doctor Purdon for diagnosing me, when nobody else could. Hands down best doctor.
The only minus I have about Doctor Purdon is that he has the personality of a stick! That said, he seems to care about getting to the root of the problem, and THAT is really what it's all about. He will take his private time, after working hours to call me to discuss matters, which I was quite surprised at. You don't see that very much this day and age. His receptionist, Mary, is absolutely wonderful, in every sense of the word! The friendlest and the most compassionate front staff I have ever experienced in my 52 years!
I had to wait 50 mins past my scheduled appt time however I believe this was attributed by the fact that Dr. Purdon takes his time with each patients appt and he doesn't hurry you out the door as other doctors do. My only suggestion would be to perhaps schedule spots for longer times to avoid having other patients wait.
Amazing doctor. Actually cares about how the patient feels before pushing medications. Has called within 2 or 3 days after receiving bloodwork results, usually at 8 or 9pm. I move quite a bit and he is still willing to be 'mobile' for me and help as best he can from a distance and over the phone!
Great Doctor! Insightful, well informed and excellent to deal with.
Straight and to the point. If you are willing to help yourself he will be a great partner in your healthcare needs. If you BS him he won't have time for you!
Excellent doctor and fantastic receptionist! So glad to be under such great care.

Police Shoot Man in Times Square--and Tourists Get It All on Tape
The man had a knife and police pursued, shot and killed him (with many shots)--as tourists and others in midtown NYC jockeyed for positions and even ran after the chase to take photos and video (some of it seized by cops). NY Daily News has this more graphic tape, with bystander saying "not a justified kill at all--they shot him in the back." NY Post has a different video.

I appreciate these two-tone lips created by Tom Pecheux for the Emanuel Ungaro show, but I'm not sure if I could pull this look off myself. I want to try it though! What do you guys think? Do you like the look? Would you wear it?
Via A Cup Of Jo & Glamour.
It is kinda fun! You would just have to make sure not to rub your lips together, especially if the lipstick is anything more than the pigment (gloss or anything with moisture)
i think it looks cool and could work as long as the colors are settle and not crazy bold.
Its nice and the contrast is subtle. Im down for trying it… tho i never wear lipstick (it never sticks!)
I really like the two-toned look! It may not be appropriate for the everyday look, but its a great idea. I like the colors too!
I love it. It kind of makes you do a double take. I think a red on top and pink on the bottom would be fun too. Oh or a coffee color on top and a burnt orange on the bottom. :)
I think it's fun as long as the colors are light…I am going to try it this weekend!

After playing through Dark Souls for the 272nd time, I thought I was ready to show my love for the game by making a flash parody. So please enjoy this death-tastic animated short I've spent the last 5 months on. And do consider playing Dark Souls if you haven't already.

Intersting animation, really well thought out. I feel like some of the scenes were really drawn out and the voice acting was kind of quiet and strange. But the animation was amazing, you had all the cliches down. Keep up the good work, I'm really interested to see what else you've got!

On the 28th of October, my girlfriend, Allison, and I celebrated our fourth year together (see writeups for our third and second; the first predates this blog). What began sixth months ago as the vague intentions of going to see something on Broadway eventually morphed into a weekend-long celebration that involved a lot of driving.
Friday, October 27th
My planned time of departure is 12:30—the plan is to drive to WIU and be there by 4pm. My intention was to work until about noon, and then come home, throw my bag in the car, and leave. My alarm, though, had other plans, since it was set not for 7:45am, but 7:45pm, which makes a considerable difference, when you think about it. Having woken up late, I simply phoned it in and used the extra time to brew some coffee and make sure I had everything that I needed.
Only once I got on the road did I realize that I had entirely forgotten to eat. Anything. And wouldn't have another chance to eat until later in the evening. Later, I would also be forcefully reminded that I had forgotten an article of clothing that Allison had very clearly asked me to bring. I stopped at a store to buy a card and flowers (given that they'd need to survive a 3-hour trip in a warm car, the flowers were a bit of a gamble), and got some trail mix to tide me over.
The drive from Joliet to Macomb is about three hours (less, the way I drive) and brutally boring. Luckily, it was a rather overcast day, so I didn't have any glare to deal with, and with the exception of irritating truckers, it's a smooth and uneventful drive. Going to Macomb is always infinitely better than coming home, because I have Allison to look forward to. A few notes about the trip:
- To the person who almost ran me off the road because you were gawking at the blazing semitruck on the far shoulder of the oncoming lane: eat shit and die.
- To the semitrucks who insist on getting in the left lane to pass other semitrucks, but take five minutes to do so because you're not going any faster: eat shit and die.
- Boy, do I like having a V6 engine. I can do 80mph without breaking 3k RPM.
Despite a somewhat late start, I got to Western with time to spare, spending about 15 minutes waiting for Allison to get out of her rehearsal. This was fine, as it gave me time to use the restroom, again—drinking a large beer stein of coffee before embarking on a road trip is an exceptionally bad idea. Seeing Allison was, as always, wonderful: she even liked the flowers, though they were at this point somewhat worse for the wear.
The festivities for Friday evening actually had little to do with the anniversary, unless you include our countdown to midnight, when we exchanged small gifts. Actually, the reason I had driven down on Friday had more to do with driving arrangements than anything. But Allison had to take part in the orchestra's annual Halloween concert, an event which probably draws every child in Macomb. It's a fanciful romp through crowd-pleasing tunes like excerpts from the Pirates of the Caribbean score, its distinguishing feature being a parade of costumed children parading across the stage before the final song, to the applause and cooes of the audience. I'm extraordinarily uncomfortable around children, but I couldn't help but be amused by the exceedingly young Spiderman sitting (sort of) in front of me, who was so very excited by the whole situation that he couldn't help but beat the living tar out of an inexhaustible supply of invisible villains.
Afterwards, Allison and I hung out in her room, watching a movie and eating a late dinner. I should point out here that she gave me a copy of The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, so my Bryson collection remains blissfully complete.
I won't go into details about dorm life or any of those specifics. For that, see my earlier post about visiting Allison.
Saturday, October 28th
In the morning we slept in slightly, needing to leave only by about 9am. I ate leftover pizza for breakfast1, put on a different shirt, and we climbed into Allison's Buick (affectionately known as "Big Bertha") and hit the road, heading back to Joliet. As we are talking about I-80, I-74, and I-34 here, there's very little to say, except for the following:
- It's a much nicer trip with someone to talk to.
- There are a surprising amount of roadkill, especially on I-80. Including cows.
- About 20 miles outside of Joliet, traffic clumped together into a 55mph mass. A truck was hauling an enormously oversized load that apparently required two pickup trucks with flashing lights and a police cruiser as an escort. Because people are apparently paranoid of police, no one wanted to pass him up, even though it was perfectly legal to do so. Idiots.
I went home, had a light lunch, and then showered, trying to spiff up as much as possible. The 28th was, after all, our actual anniversary, and the day with the most exciting activities.
At 4pm, Allison and I set off in Big Bertha (my car, if you're following carefully, was three hours away, in Macomb) for Chicago. It was Allison's first time driving in Chicago, and she was probably nervous. I was nervous for her, despite my sheets of directions and maps. I'd only driven there once, to see A Silver Mt. Zion, and it didn't even require me driving downtown, but I was still scared of it.
We actually got to the parking garage on Randolph St. without incident, which was a difficult task since our route sent out through the heart of downtown—premium gawking territory. The Self-Park is a large structure a block away from the Oriental Theatre2. It required that we drive up a steep, narrow, twisting path until we were several floors up. Imagine for a moment how difficult this is in a Buick LeSabre.
Once parked, we took the elevator to the bottom floor and hailed a cab after a few minutes of trying. The man was actually very pleasant, and wasn't a maniac by the standards of most Chicago cab drivers. A $4.65 fare later, we arrived at Maggiano's, on Grand St. At 5:30 on a Saturday, it was understandably packed. We had reservations, but they were still running behind and didn't seat us until 5:45. The wait for those without reservations was well over an hour—while we waited, a steady stream of people entered and asked the hostess about approximate times, and then seemed both shocked and crestfallen when she gave them an estimate. What did they expect? This is an immensely popular restaurant in downtown Chicago at dinnertime, not Big Billy Bob's All U Can Eat Ribs in Scratchyerass, Illinois. I remember when Allison and I went to the Maggiano's in Oak Brook for Valentine's Day several years ago. I wasn't smart enough to make reservations, and so she and I had to endure a 3+ hour wait by wandering around the mall. 3+ hours.
We ended up with a primo table in the corner of a section otherwise full of larger parties. It gave us some measure of privacy and quiet. Allison encouraged me to get booze (she was paying), and as I was unimpressed with their choices of beers, I went fruity and got a pomegranate martini, which was delicious if not particularly strong. For our meal, Allison got Rigatoni and "D" (her favorite) and I tried some newer chicken dish (chicken something al forno—I don't see it on their online menu), which was delicious. Since it's Maggiano's, I shouldn't need to tell you that the quantities were far too abundant for our poor stomachs. For dessert, we shared a large slice of some of the creamiest cheesecake I've ever had, drizzled with blueberry sauce and fresh blueberries. Sinful.
Done with dinner, we hailed another cab to take us back to the theatre. This time, we didn't luck out with a mild-mannered driver. This one, a man of few words, dodged and weaved through traffic as though he was a character in Grand Theft Auto. I quickly engaged my seat belt and gave Allison a look that said, "In case we don't make it…. I love you."
But we did make it (and without killing any pedestrians, either!), though visibly shaken, and returned our leftovers to our car. Outside the theatre, Allison took pictures of the marquee and of us. She tried also to capture some of the surrounding sights while we waited to get it, with mixed success. Once inside, we had some time to kill before the 8pm show, so Allison bought me beer. In a brilliant promotional ploy, the theatre was stocking Pete's Wicked Ale, appropriate because we were in fact seeing Wicked. After tasting it, I thought perhaps it was a rebranded version of Goose Island's Honker's Ale, because it tasted very similar, and Goose Island, being a Chicago microbrewery, is good at forming deals with places and events inside of the city and surrounding suburbs.
Since I'm not a theatre critic, I won't bother reviewing Wicked except to say that it was good. Some of the performers were different than when we saw it last January—Glinda was even bubblier than before, if that's even possible—but the whole performance was as solid, funny, and exciting as ever. My one complaint is that the Oriental Theatre was not built for people with long legs: I had to sort of fold up by lower half in order to fit in my seat.
Afterward, we stopped in the tea shop (Argo Tea) next door. Not only was it easier to use the bathroom there than wait in line at the theatre, but we got some hot drinks to warm us up. A good thing, too, because there ended up being a substantial line at the Self-Park (the theatre is also smart enough to ally itself with the owners of the parking garage, who offer discounts to customers with ticket stubs). Much of the line was just waiting for elevators, but we still had to pay at the automated machines.
"I wonder if there are stairs," I thought. Not a minute later, a woman and her significant other pushed their way through to crowd to the corpulent attendant sitting behind a desk and watching the chaos with disinterest. "Excuse me," she began, "but where are your stairs?"
"Stairs are closed," the attendant answered, without looking up.
"Closed?" the woman repeated, exasperated. "What if there's a fire?"
"Then the police will open them." Still not looking up.
It really does boggle the mind.
When we exited the parking garage (in the car, that is), we ended up on a different street than we had intended, and after a moment of panic, we simply took a trip around the block and got back on Randolph, which led to 90/94E, which led to I-55, and it was a skate from there.
All in all, it was a pretty smooth experience and a great anniversary.
Sunday, October 29th
On Sunday morning, I slept in with the benefit of an extra hour from the end of Daylight Savings Time. Allison and I ended up getting together at about 1pm, had a light lunch, got our stuff together, said goodbye to her family and dogs, and then hit the road at about 3pm, armed with coffee.
Again, I needn't bore you with the details of the drive, except to note these few things:
- The large black cow lying dead in a ditch on I-80 was still there.
- Have I mentioned how much I hate driving on I-80?
- Despite the relative remoteness of this stretch of interstate, Sunday afternoons are apparently the times for speed traps on I-80 (we avoided all of them).
We arrived after dark, in time to grab some food from the cafeteria, before going to that night's activity: Western hosted a one-night-only performance of Rent. It was an off-Broadway performance, so there were obviously no big names, and the production values weren't as high, but I was impressed nonetheless. Not only was the vocal talent still fantastic, but the choreography was surgically precise: the stage was small and packed to the rafters with scenery, but the characters still managed to dance, jump, and go crazy without tripping and breaking their necks.
There was quite a turnout to see it, including a lot of older people probably not related to the University. This surprised me, considering that Macomb is a kind of conservative farming town, excepting perhaps, the more left-leaning academics who staff its university, and Rent is a pretty damn liberal musical, unabashedly featuring (and defending) homosexuality, drag queens, and poverty. Allison pointed out to me, though, that it's Macomb: there's nothing else to do.
This version of Rent, which I'm guessing is largely unchanged from the Broadway version except for staging changes, was a bit surprising after seeing the movie. While the film opens with "Seasons of Love," the stage show waits until the second act. One must also infer a lot more from the stage show, because it hasn't the benefit of flashbacks and descriptive visuals. For those unfamiliar with the story (such as the elderly gentleman sitting next to me, who also complained about the excessive volume), it might have been difficult to follow. Also, because it was staged in a converted gymnasium, the quality of the audio was less than ideal. Still, it was a very enjoyable (and relatively cheap) experience.
Afterward, we drove to the area by WIU's President's house, where one can see the campus lit up against the starry sky—a remote analog of the Chicago skyline we left just the previous day. We then worked on some things that Allison needed done for the next day—we painted a wooden paddle for her sorority, and I proofread a paper that was due on Monday. At 1am, we crawled into bed and fell asleep in each other's arms, dreading the coming of morning.
Monday, October 30th
We awoke the next day before 8, bleary-eyed. I just threw on my jeans and put in my contacts, waiting to shower until I returned home. We breakfasted on cereal; Allison made coffee. At 9am, we walked out to my car, parked outside since Friday, and sadly said goodbye. As Allison said, it's a good thing she wore waterproof makeup. This would be out last meeting until she comes home for Thanksgiving, and neither of us wanted to part.
I filled up on gas in Good Hope, a tiny town of 400 a few miles north of Macomb, and then settled in for a long, long drive. A few notes:
- Driving away from Allison really sucks.
- They were finally picking up that dead cow when I passed it.
- At the exact same point as on Saturday—about 20 miles out from Joliet—there was once again a slowdown because, yes, another truck was hauling another large piece of metal, with a police escort. This sort of experience makes me never want to drive on I-80 again.
It's been a short four years for me: being with Allison has been a blissful time for me, and it just flies by. I feel like it was only a few months ago that were in Chicago celebrating three years, and now here we are, stronger than ever, starting our fifth. It's been amazing. She's amazing.
I love you, Allison.

Now Public, Restoration Hardware Ready to Expand
December 26, 2012
RH Tableware and RH Objects of Curiosity will launch their own catalogs, with planned in-home dates in the first quarter of 2013. RH Fine Art will launch with an Art Journal, a website, and an art gallery in New York during the first half of 2013.
Some items from the new nameplates will also be featured in the retailer's exiting formats, the company said.
Restoration Hardware is currently transforming its legacy mall real estate into new full line Design Galleries in locations such as Boston, Indianapolis, Greenwich and Atlanta and is eyeing locations in other markets.
The company went public last month.
Net income for the third quarter ended Oct. 27 soared 147% to $2.7 million, with earnings per share of 7 cents.
Net revenues increased 22% on top of a 25% revenue increase in the year-ago quarter. Comp sales grew 29% versus 36% comp growth in 2011. Direct sales increased 24% over a 17% increase the prior year.
"This performance, which is consistent with the 22% growth achieved for the year-to-date period, marks our 11th consecutive quarter of double-digit revenue growth," said ceo Carlos Alberini.

Locker or Dalton
Locker or Dalton
In my dynasty league I have a chance to trade for locker or dalton. Which projects to be a top 10 QB year in and year out better? Dalton seems consistent and has great playmakers and locker is so athletic. I don't know which I should try and acquire any thoughts?
Re: Locker or Dalton
I'd want Dalton there.

Back to news Home \ OpportunityMalaysia 2005 News
July 20, 2005 - South Florida CEO - Mission: Malaysia
Ray Ferrero Jr. takes Nova Southeastern global with a new executive education program in this modern Southeast Asian nation.Malaysia, halfway around the world in Southeast Asia, was the farthest place on Ray Ferrero Jr.'s mind when the president of Nova Southeastern University received an invitation to visit the nation of 24 million people.But it took mere months for Ferrero to jet over for a visit that, if all goes well, will mean his Davie-based university will soon launch executive education classes there, with more programs next year — all taught in English by NSU staff.The move comes after the dogged efforts of Fort Lauderdale business consultant Bernhard Schutte, who was so amazed by his first trip to Malaysia in 2002 that he has become an unofficial booster for the Southeast Asian powerhouse. Schutte describes the nation as "just like Florida:" a modern, multi-cultural area perfect as a business hub for its world region.It was Schutte who organized a nearly 40-member Florida business mission to Malaysia in late February that produced a host of two-way projects now in the works, from Nova Southeastern's venture to proposed scientific exchanges.High on the list: plans for Malaysia to open a trade office that would serve the southeastern US as well as Latin America and the Caribbean. Malaysian officials are talking with the city of Hollywood about the possibility of setting up a South Florida trade office there, complete with a showroom to display Malaysian goods, from consumer electronics to processed foods.In addition, the Florida Space Authority plans to host Malaysian nationals for educational programs, which may convince the nation to purchase US satellites instead of the Russian ones it currently buys. And the Fort Lauderdale-based Center for Severe Obesity is working to train Malaysian doctors in gastric-bypass surgery, among other procedures."Bigger deals take longer to do," Schutte said upon returning from a follow-up visit to the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur this spring.The moves come amid an economic boom in Malaysia, a former British colony that last year posted 7.1 percent growth, the world's second highest rate after China.A longtime producer of raw materials such as rubber and tin, the tropical nation has transformed since the 1970s into a major exporter of manufactured goods, especially electronics and computer chips. Trade in high-tech goods last year catapulted Malaysia to the No. 10 ranked trade partner for the US, according to federal trade data.With an expanding middle-class, the New Mexico-sized nation is finding it increasingly difficult to compete for basic manufacturing orders against lower-wage, and far larger, China and India. Instead, the Malaysia sees its future in knowledge-based businesses, such as telecom, information technology and biotech, officials say.That is where NSU fits in.Ferrero says Malaysia wants to offer more educational programs to help its own residents move up the economic ladder. Moreover, it seeks to attract more students from nearby nations, including China, especially now that foreign students face difficulties obtaining visas to study in the US following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.To encourage NSU to set up shop there, Malaysia's ambassador to Washington, Ghazzali bin Sheikh Abdul Khalid, visited the Davie campus for talks. And in Kuala Lumpur, NSU officials and leaders from 25 private universities met for two hours with government officials, Ferrero says."They treated us like kings and queens," says James "JT" Tarlton, CEO of the Broward Alliance economic development group, describing the meetings in Malaysia, which included a lengthy session with that nation's Deputy Prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.Schutte never imagined that a chance encounter with Malaysian officials would prove so fruitful.Like many executives in South Florida, the consultant had little knowledge of the mainly Muslim nation, even when he accepted an offer to speak in Kuala Lumpur in 2002 on opportunities for business in South Florida.The visit astounded him, he says. Schutte found Malaysia more cosmopolitan, prosperous and pro-American than he expected. A monorail zipped him around the capital, past what was then the world's tallest office building, the Petronas Towers. New highways and railways linked him with other cities. And he was delighted with the ease of conducting business in English — a legacy of the free, British-style schooling maintained after the former colony gained independence.Schutte also marveled at the international prowess of Malaysia's multi-ethnic residents. It reminded him of South Florida's Caribbean and Latin American immigrants, who now offer a bridge to the region. Malaysia's population is roughly 26 percent Chinese descent, about 10 percent Indian and mainly Muslim — a vital link for business throughout Southeast Asia and into China, India and even the Middle East.Back in South Florida, Schutte, CEO of Fort Lauderdale-based Digital Media Network Inc., decided to seize an opportunity. In 2003, his company partnered with a similar firm in Malaysia, Electronic Business Management, which now serves as the Asian headquarters for his high-tech consulting business.Then, Schutte sought to spread the word of his discovery. "A lot of people look at the Asian region as a threat. I look at it as a huge opportunity," he says. "And Malaysia is the secret door to penetrate the market."Stronger US-Malaysia ties helped Schutte's efforts, too.Washington lauds the moderate, secular nation for its cooperation in the war against terrorism. The government warmed to the new prime minister, soft-spoken Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, elected in 2003 to succeed the sometimes strident Mahathir Mohamad, who spent 22 years at the nation's helm."Everything is moving very nicely right now," says Marc Mealy, senior director for the U.S.-Malaysia Business Council in Washington. "Actually, during talks in May under the new Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, for the first time the governments even got into some basics about a possible free-trade agreement."To be sure, Malaysia faces competition as an Asian hub. For example, neighboring Singapore — once part of the Malaysian Federation — already shares a free-trade accord with the US. And the ex-British colony of Hong Kong beckons on China's doorstep. But both Singapore and Hong Kong are more expensive to operate from, executives say."If you're not big enough to have a separate operation in China, maybe the way to start is in Southeast Asia — in Malaysia," Mealy says, echoing the words of South Florida consultant Schutte.It all adds up to a welcome education for NSU's Ferrero and dozens more Florida executives who traveled to Malaysia on the February mission and now seek to develop business from that weeklong trip."I'll go back," says Lauro Bianda, president of Lake Worth-based consulting firm Agycon, which helps sell hospital supplies in Latin America. "I found good products, and people ready to go the extra mile. And it's very much like Florida — a hub for emerging economies in Asia, just as we are for Latin America and the Caribbean." — Doreen Hemlock covers international business for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

Interview and giveaway: Jayne Fresina - The Most Improper Miss Sophie Valentine
43 comments:
I want to read this book for this reason alone: I love Finnola Valentine, Sophie's eccentric and scandalous aunt who hides a gin flask under her turban and talks lovingly of her long-ago affair with a dashing sea captain. Much to her straight-laced nephew's horror.
Seriously who can't love an eccentric aunt! I am pretty sure she makes their lives interesting LOLI want to read it! Sounds fun and I love a scandalous romance hehe. The eccentric aunt is a plus :P
Sometimes I read newspapers adds just for fun, people is so weird!This book sounds just how I like them. Great interview and thank you for the opportunity. Good luck to me.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the interview and letting me be a guest. I hope Sophie's romance is as much fun for you to read as it was for me to write. :)
ReplyDeleteA book with a title like The Most Improper Miss Sophie Valentine instantly catches my attention. Once I read the interview and the blurb I was sold. I mean, a fun story with at least one quirky character (the Aunt) is most definitely my cup of tea!
ReplyDeleteGreat interview. This is a new author for me. The title and cover make me want this book. Great title. Thanks for the giveaway.
firstname.lastname@example.com, ads in the newspapers are to be avoided. Terribly dull and all those abbreviations make my head ache. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I love that advertisement! That could totally apply to me (except for the elderly aunt).
ReplyDeleteI would like to thank you for an apsolutely increadible book giveaway, that i would love to have the oportunity of reading and reviewing! I adore this genre (being quite ironic as i have just finished reading a historical novel set in the traditional regency period) and i loved how unique this sounds with a origional take.
In regards to adverts i would always advise one to 'read between the lines' as what you read & the reality can be both completely contrasting to what you or i expect!
Thank you once again for this amazing giveaway. x

The press release doesn't name the company(s) where Gaines R. Newell Jr. and Billy Joe Hunt work(ed) for, it does say their company was the Prime contractor, here are 2 possibles who are based in Pasadena, California and had at least a portion of this contract:
- Parsons – U.S. Army's Coalition Munitions Clearance (CMC) effort, headquartered in Baghdad, Iraq. From 2003 to 2008, we provided logistical support, coordination, and management for the effort to collect, maintain, or destroy uncontrolled military munitions found in Iraq.

(DoJ) – WASHINGTON – March 13, 2012 – United Kingdom citizen Ahmed Sarchil Kazzaz and his company, Leadstay Company, were charged in an indictment unsealed today in the Northern District of Alabama for their roles in a conspiracy to defraud the United States and pay kickbacks in exchange for receiving subcontracts for a Department of Defense program in Iraq, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Justice Department's Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance of the Northern District of Alabama.
Blacklisted contractor continues receiving government money through Haiti contracts
Despite the blacklist designation Agility was able to secure government funding for work in Haiti through a joint venture. An analysis of the Federal Procurement Data System shows that Contingency Response Services LLC (CRS) has received over $16 million in government funding from the Department of the Navy since the earthquake. The particularly bland sounding Contingency Response Services consists of three defense contractor giants — Dyncorp, Parsons and Agility Logistics (then PWC logistics).
Jake Johnston, lead researcher at Center for Economic and Policy Research – (The Hill) – December 2, 2011 – Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, the U.S. launched an unprecedented relief effort, eventually totaling over one billion dollars. But the lead agency in the immediate aftermath was not the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), as is typically the case when our nation provides humanitarian assistance, but the military. Just after the earthquake, the U.S. had over 20,000 troops in Haiti. Of the $1.1 billion in humanitarian funding from the U.S. in 2010, nearly half was channeled to the Department of Defense.
