Powerful Nutrition at Every Age
As we age, our nutritional needs change. Older adults require less fat and calories while a teen's body demands additional caloric intake to keep up with increased growth during puberty. Scheduling annual wellness visits with your healthcare provider can help family members of all ages get the nutritional information they need. Proper nutrition can reduce your risk of chronic illness, help you maintain a physically active lifestyle, and minimize the risk of sport-related injuries.
Toddlers: Help your picky eater develop healthy habits by promoting self-feeding. Toddlers know when they are hungry or full, so pay close attention to those cues signaling they've had enough, such as fussiness or pushing away their plate. Try to incorporate fresh, frozen, or canned fruits and vegetables into every meal, and combine preferred foods with new food offerings or menu items that your child would rather not eat. Multiple exposures to different food groups will help your child expand her palate. According to the USDA, two-year-olds should consume a balanced diet of approximately 1,000 calories per day, including 1 cup of fruit and vegetables each, 3 ounces of grains (equivalent of one slice of bread, or ½ cup pasta, cereal, or rice), 2 ounces of protein (equivalent of 1 egg or 1 Tablespoon of peanut butter), and 2 cups of milk. If your child doesn't like milk, yogurt and cheese can help them reach their daily dairy requirements.
Kids: Your child's nutritional needs will fluctuate between 1,000 calories to 1,600 calories per day based on activity level, gender, and age. ChooseMyPlate.gov offers a comprehensive chart to help you determine the nutritional needs for your family. Pack snacks like whole fruit, veggies with low-fat dip, celery with peanut butter, or raisins to ensure your child gets bursts of nutrition throughout the day.
Early Adolescence and Teens: The onset of puberty typically begins between the ages of ten and twelve. During this time, you might find that your child is always hungry. Don't panic if you're always finding the cupboards bare; your teen needs extra calories to keep up with all the changes going on in their body—especially if they're physically active. During this time, girls require approximately 2,200 calories per day, while boys need an average of 2,800. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that complex carbohydrates (whole grain pasta, quinoa, sweet potato, lentils, etc.) make up 50% to 60% of caloric intake, while dietary fats (which help aid the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K) make up no more than 30% of a diet. Protein is an essential component of a teen's diet, but according to the AAP, most teens consume 50% more protein than needed in the form of meat, eggs, and cheese.
Adult: As we age, it's important to choose a diet low in sodium, saturated fats, and sugar. Filling up on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein will help to decrease your risk of hypertension, diabetes, cancer, and heart disease. The United States Department of Agriculture recommends that adults engage in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. Breastfeeding moms and moms-to-be have special nutritional needs.
Older Adults: The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recommends that older adults add three servings of vitamin D-fortified milk or yogurt to your daily meal plan. Vitamin D and calcium play a vital role in maintaining bone health. Engaging in weight-bearing exercises like walking can help to combat the progression of decreased bone health, osteoporosis, and osteopenia. When combined with a low-sodium diet, potassium-rich foods (like spinach, baked potatoes, white beans, and baked acorn squash) can reduce the risk of high blood pressure. If you're taking medications, read "5 Common Food-Drug Interactions," and steer clear of foods that might have adverse effects.

Warriors again without Curry versus Bucks
Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry will miss his second straight game due to an ankle injury against the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday.
Curry missed most of December with an ankle sprain and aggravated it on Wednesday, slipping during shootaround, and has not played since. He is averaging 27.9 points and 6.4 assists per game this season.
The two-time MVP surpassed 30 points in four of his five outings following his return, before sitting out the 125-106 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers this week.
The Warriors, winners of five of their last six, enter Friday's match leading the Western Conference by three games over the Houston Rockets.
Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, both averaging more than 20 points per game, will have to take up the scoring load with Curry out against the mercurial Bucks.
Injury update for tonight's game: Stephen Curry (sprained right ankle) is out. Omri Casspi (low back soreness) is questionable. Andre Iguodala (left knee soreness) & Shaun Livingston (left knee contusion) are available to play.— Warriors PR (@WarriorsPR) January 12, 2018

Fresh facts emerged on Tuesday that security challenges facing the nation might have accounted for Nigeria's exclusion from President Barack Obama's three-nation shuttle to Africa.
But the exclusion will not affect bilateral relations between the United States and Nigeria.
The U.S government said the trip will focus on trade and investment, democratic institution-building, young people, and unleashing economic growth.
The clarifications were made at a briefing by American Deputy National Security Advisor, Ben Rhodes.
The joint briefing was addressed jointly with the Senior Director for African Affairs Grant Harris and Senior Director for Development and Democracy Gayle Smith, on President Obama's upcoming visit to Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania.
The text of the briefing was made available to journalists in Abuja on Tuesday by the Information Office of the Public Affairs Section of the U.S Embassy.
Rhodes said: "With respect to Nigeria, we certainly believe that Nigeria is a fundamentally important country to the future of Africa. We've put a lot of investment in the relationship with Nigeria through their leadership of ECOWAS, through the significant U.S. business investment in Nigeria and through our security cooperation.
"Obviously, Nigeria is working through some very challenging security issues right now. And in that process, they're going to be a partner of the United States. We certainly believe we'll have an opportunity to further engage the Nigerian government through bilateral meetings going forward. But at this point, we just were not able to make it to Nigeria on this particular itinerary.
"I will say that we purposefully designed the itineraries to be able to reach West Africa, South Africa and East Africa, and in West Africa, to visit Senegal, a French-speaking, Muslim-majority democracy that is an important partner of the United States and also provides a platform for the President to speak to the broader region.
"We are also looking at ways, at the President's town hall in South Africa with young African leaders, to draw in through technology young people in Nigeria and in Kenya, among other places, so that the President is using this trip to speak to the broader African audience. We recognize we'd like to go to as many countries as possible.
"Time only permits us to go to these three. But we want to make sure that in each country we're speaking to the broader region. And we're going to make use of technology and other means to do so.
"And to the middle question, the Africans who have been frustrated — look, I think it points back to Andrea's first question. This is a region that, frankly, has been underrepresented in our travel. And for all these questions of why the President is going to Africa, I think the question that we've been getting is why hasn't the President been in Africa more?"

[06/March/2004] Sana'a Declaration is a Platform for Building Democracy.
By Thuraya Dammaj .
The representative of the United Nations to Sana'a Inter- governmental Regional Conference on Democracy Human Rights and the Role of the International Criminal Court, Mr. Danilo Turk said : the outcomes of the conference have been fruitful and will be a new platform for the region's Countries .
The Yemen News Agency (Saba) given an exclusive interview with Mr. Danilo .
Here is the text.
SABA: What's your opinion about the conference ?
Danilo: This is an important conference . The idea of democracy was very much discussed . It was a living discussion including the issues that we are all interested in.
Governments and civil society organizations expressed their commitments to democracy and human rights principles. All participants are keen to move their societies towards meaningful democracy and participation in political life.
SABA: What are the horizons of changing the region?
Danilo: The application of democracy can be possible only If the countries really have democracy environment .
Democracy is never ending process.Democracy is something that has to be cultivated.
I think a conference like this shows that there is a good base of democracy which has already established in Yemen and the region.It could be developed further.
SABA: What may the conference add to Yemen?
Danilo: That is for government of Yemen , Political parties and civil society to work out . This is not for UN official to say there will be a real democracy in Yemen. This refers to the people in Yemen to say what this conference brings.
But my general impression is that stronger participation of women's is the important element.I have been listening to discussions in the working group of civil society and parliament delegations.
I heard a very strong support for the idea of quota relating to women's representation . So women would have a number of seats in Parliament. That's a very interesting idea which women may support it very loudly.
SABA: What's your comment about Sana'a declaration?
Danilo: I think Sana'a declaration is a very useful document which will strengthen the idea of democracy and human rights in the Arab world .
I also hope that will be used as a platform for building democracy and promoting human rights . As we listened in Amr Mussa speech about his idea that Sana'a declaration will be a platform which can help the region's countries to enhance democratization process.

My Destination, Running is Medicine -AnnErika White BirdTweet
I could push my body to perform from the time I was young, racing against the second hand on my mom's count. "Watch me! Mom! Mom! Time me from here to there!" I'd take off, dirt kicking up, gravel rocks under my tennis shoes. She would count and I'd race each race against my time; I'd amaze my young self with my speed.
It wasn't until high school that I got a chance to try distance. Running was fun and my cousin and I would run from here to there, ask her mom to pick us up at the end of the route when we'd had enough. I never considered running so far. Two miles stretched on to the next town in my mind, across the world. I only went because she did, and could and wanted to run. If she can run two miles, I can too.
We went out for cross country, for track. I don't remember anyone I knew in the stands, no overbearing parent on the sidelines even at state. My cousin went each day so I went each day, even on days when I felt like maybe this isn't for me.
I learned to push my body beyond any place it had ever been. Sweat and breath and the sound of my feet up and down hills from the time I learned what distance was. I would zone out, let my body take over, pull my mind back to a place where I didn't need it anymore. I created a new life inside one I wanted to change. My only destination was reaching a place beyond the horizon, a place I couldn't see yet, feet leading the way.
Even past the years counted by grades, I upped mileage. I began to know what a three hour run on a Saturday afternoon meant, understood the value in a fifteen dollar running sock, stored quick carbs in my shorts' pocket.
I've spent this life learning that even though I can't see very far ahead, I know what lies beyond the place I am now is beauty. Everything I've ever needed is on this land that absorbs a foot strike, these trees that discuss whether or not people exist, this sky that disappears me when I look up. I let my mind kick back and listen to the life surrounding me; I trust my body to know the way.

NASA is planning to send a daring robotic mission by 2025 to Jupiter's watery moon Europa - one of the best bets for alien life beyond Earth in our solar system.The American space agency has set aside USD 15 million in its 2015 budget proposal to start planning a mission to Europa. NASA's chief financial officer, Elizabeth Robinson, was quoted by 'The Times' as saying that the Europa mission would be launched in the mid-2020s.
Europa is one of the solar system's most mysterious moons. There may be a vast ocean beneath Europa's icy crust, with more water in it than exists on all of Earth. A little bit of that water may be erupting from geysers near the Europa's south pole, sending plumes 200 kilometres into the air, a recent study has found.

Zinaida Lilina, Revolutionary, administrator and pedagogue
Meet Zinaida Lilina, Bolshevist revolutionary, women's activist, social and culture administrator and opponent to Stalin. She was a tough woman, and an important figure in the Bolshevist movement, but also controversial, especially in bourgeois eyes, and nearly forgotten by history (many biographies on her friends even fail to have her name right), which makes it somewhat difficult to detect her life.
|Relatively early portrait of Lilina
Zlata, Golde (the Jewish translation of Zlata) or Zinaida Evnovna Bernstein was born on 15. January 1881 or 1882 to a poor Jewish family in a village in Belarus, she grew up in a Jewish and Polish surrounding and was at first educated at home. However, she had later the opportunity to visit a high school (Gymnasium), she finished school in 1902 and, like many progressive women wothout means at her time, worked as a teacher. In the same year, she became a member of the Russian Social-Democratic Worker's Party, which had not yet split into Bolsheviks and Mensheviks then. Around that time, she also emigrated to Switzerland, where she took the opportunity to visit lectures in medicine, a common practice for Russian women who were not yet allowed to visit Russian universities, as well as many universities in other European countries. After the split between Lenin and his followers, known as the Bolsheviks, and his opponent, known as Mensheviks, Lilina sided with Lenin whom she had met around that time in Berne.
During the 1905 uprising in Russia, Lilina went back to Russia and participated in the revolutionary activities after 1905 and until about 1907, the final defeat of the revolutionary period. Working as a teacher, she is also active in the Sankt Petersbourg illegal party work, as was Krupskaya, whom she may or may not have met at that time. Also, she may have met Grigory Zinoviev at that time, also a Bolshevik and ardent Leninist (some have dubbed him "Lenin's shadow" in the few years to follow). Biographers like McNeal or Michael Pearson claim that the two of them were married at that period, and that their son was born around 1909. However, more recent Russian articles say that at this time, Zinoviev was still married to Sara Ravich, another Bolshevik, born in 1879 and of similar origin as both, Lilina and Zinoviev himself. According to these sources, it was only after his and Ravich's divorce and in 1912 that Lilina and Zinoviev married, and only in 1913 that their son was born. However, it is rather certain, that the two of them already met around 1908, or even earlier. In the year of the "second emigration", 1908 to 1917, Lilina was, as Zinoviev, one of the closest co-workers of Lenin in exile. They formed a kind of community, living in the same towns and seeing each other regularly besides work for strolls or bicycle excursions. Together, they moved from Switzerland to Paris in 1909, where they had a party school, and from Paris to Cracow in 1912, where Lilina's and Zinoviev's son Stepan may have been born. Lenin dotted on the child a very much, and both Lilina and Krupskaya recall how he played with him, made much noise, knocked things over, crawled on the floor and protested when Lilina tried to put a check on them. Lenin himself shows affection in a letter from 1916, which concludes: "Beste Grüsse [best regards], especially to Styopka [a pet name for Stepan], who must have grown so that I won't be able to toss him up to the ceiling!" (It is rather unlikely that Lenin threw a seven-year-old to the ceiling, which makes Stepan's birth year of 1913 more plausible.) Later Lilina recalls, when taking a stroll in Switzerland, Lenin to have said: "It is a pity that we have no such Styopka." Still, in Cracow, the Lilina-Zinovievs were also close to Lev Kamenev, his wife Olga Bronstein (Trotsky's sister) and their family, who were of the same age and keen on going to the movies. Zinoviev and Kamenev were about to form a practically inseparable alliance.
|Kamenev and Zinoviev chilling
Apart from those free-time activities, Lilina worked together with Krupskaya in the party organisation, the propaganda works and the smuggling of illegal literature between Russia and abroad, and they did very joyfully so. The two women became close friends, and Krupskaya talks about her a great deal in her reminiscences about that time. This, however, may also indicate the great importance Lilina had in the party at that time. Lenin charged her with a multitude of important missions, with attending congresses and delivering speeches. In 1914, she, Krupskaya, Inessa Armand and Ludmilla Stal were the core group in organising a women's party newspaper, "The Woman Worker", which, however, was very short lived, maybe due to the World War I and restricted connections to Russia, where the paper was edited. On outbreak of the war, in 1914, the Krupskaya-Lenins and Lilina-Zinovievs moved to Berne, where Lilina became the secretary of the local Bolshevik group until 1915. Her work-load must have been enormous, but Lilina seems to have been of poor health. In summer 1914, as Lenin writes in several letters to Armand, she was seriously sick and even in hospital, putting him under some "shortages in staff", since her illness made it also impossible for Zinoviev to attend international meetings, and he himself was maybe unable or unwilling to travel.
In 1917, Lilina, der son and her husband were part of the company, also including Lenin, Krupskaya, Armand and Ravich, that crossed Germany in a sealed train with the destination of revolutionary Russia. With her comrades, Lilina continued to pursue the goal of a socialist revolution. It is not known (to me) what her stand was on the temporary but deep division between Lenin and Zinoviev/Kamenev, who were against the October uprising and announced their opposition publicly (before the planned uprising and thereby making it known), which stirred Lenin's fury. Whatever the case may have been, it did not cause a break in Lilina's career (as it didn't in Zinoviev's and Kamenev's, although they ceased to be as close to Lenin as previously). She attended the first post-revolutionary party congress in March 1918, which saw the renaming of the RSDWP (b) into CPR (b) (somehow they needed to maintain that "bolshevist" specification), and remained active in the Petrograd Soviet (Petrograd is the Russian name for Sankt Petersburg, as it was called since the World War). After the congress, she was appointed head of the Petrograd Soviet's department for Social Security. Her main task in the strained post-revolutionary, post-world war and in media-civil war situation was the struggle against child poverty, child homelessness, the care for children in nurseries, orphanages and schools. Especially the provision with food proved to be a demanding task. Also, she became member commissioner of the Union of Northern Region Communities, headed by Zinoviev. Another member was Ravich, who, by the way, was rather close to her ex-husband's family and befriended Lilina. However, the Union soon fell apart.
|Lilina (middle, background) in 1920
As I said, the situation of civil war was very strained and certainly asked for thorough measures, and this may have somewhat hardened Lilina, who proved to be an efficient propagandist and became notorious in Western Europe and the United States for her demand that children be separated from their families and raised as communists. This may sound very harsh, but it is not uncommon for feminist communists at that time who favoured communal child care and householding as a means for the liberation of women. Other persons like Kollontai, who shared a deep mutual hatred with Lilina, advocated for similar solutions, and Krupskaya as well as Lenin proclaimed that individual household was part of the enslavement of women. Thus, the call for communal householding and child care was part of the feminist demand for taking the load of working women from their double burden. Also, the young Soviet Russia faced the difficulty of wide-spread illiteracy and launched a vast campaign against it and for universal schooling (in this, Krupskaya was very active in Moscow). The "seizure" of children needs to be seen before this background, too.
In fact, Lilina was an active part of both branches, of the women's movement as a member of the Zhenotdel, the women's section of the party's Central Committee, initiated in 1919 and first headed by Armand, who tackled issues of gender equality and women's rights, like equal pay, the right of abortion and prostitution. As the Zhenotdel worked in close collaboration with the Commissariats of Health, Education, Labor, Social Welfare, and Internal Affairs, as well as other institutions, this could, from a 21st century perception, be seen as some kind of early gender mainstreaming. However, the Zhenotdel faced many problems, deriving from the harsh conditions under Civil War, as well as the struggles for power later on, which led to the silencing of some of its most outspoken members, like Kollontai (additionally, the very active Armand already died in 1920). In the course of the 1920s, many of the early and most active members of the Zhenotdel became connected to the anti-Stalinist opposition, and lost power when Stalin prevailed. The section was maintained a short time under Stalin's auspices, and dissolved in 1930, making room for a backlash in feminist matters which stopped nearly every of the Zhenotdel's initiatives.
|Lilina (middle) in a meeting
As to schooling, Lilina became the head of the Petrograd Social-pedagogic Committee in 1920, and between 1924 and 1926, head of the department for public education in the Executive Committee of the Petrograd Soviet. Besides, she was active in a commission for the improvement of scientist's living situation as well head administrator of the Petrograd theaters. So, Lilina was active at the interface between science, culture and education, which partly shows in her work on art education. As a pedagogue, Lilina had somewhat similar ideas like Krupskaya, who in her articles and books had advocated (and continued to advocate) for a very liberal, child-centered education and sought to combine universal mass education with approaches from the progressive education as well as work schools. Thus, both thought schools to be the "first step of life" instead of a mere preparation for life, a crucial part of the child's spiritual (and arguably political) formation that should be as un-administrated as possible, leaving children the most possible freedom and individuality to develop both their personalities and their intelligence. Liberal pedagogics were at the head of their time, everywhere in Europe and the US new kinds of schools were established were enthusiastic teachers experimented with forms of education which were inspired by pedagogical and psychological scientific knowledge as well as teaching experiences. Both Krupskaya and Lilina had lived in Switzerland, the motherland of the progressive education movement, where at least Krupskaya had systematically studied pedagogic literature and the Swiss schooling system. It is very probable that she had at least discussed her findings with her fellow-teacher and friend Lilina. Now, in the early Soviet period, both women had the opportunity to test their ideas in practice, each on their different positions. As for Lilina, she advocated for a plurality of school forms, dedicated to the various needs and interests of children, and maintained a huge network of collaboration between the administration, teachers and educators and the workers. She focused especially at the close connection between schooling and the "real" life through collaborations between classes and professionals from science and production in industry and agriculture.
Throughout the 1920s, Lilina published her ideas and experiences in books and articles. In the course of the first half of the 1920s, her husband, the divisive Zinoviev, became a powerful figure in the Soviet state. Together with Kamenev and Stalin, he formed a triumvirate striving to isolate Trotsky from powerful positions, especially after Lenin's stroke in 1922. There may have been a good deal of jealousy from the part of Zinoviev, who had been one of the closest collaborators of Lenin before the October Revolution, sharing exile and escape with him. After Trotsky joined the bolshevist ranks, he was increasingly valued by Lenin, albeit critically. In fact, there is some evidence that Lenin planned to collaborate with Trotsky against Stalin. Part of Zinoviev's imperious traits may have been present in the whole family, for Lilina, too, was accused by some for being authoritarian and not allowing alternative, and especially non-communist ideas. Also, their son Stepan is said to have been condescending towards his peers. Apart from that, enemies of the Lilina-Zinovievs have accused them of wealth grab, claiming that Lilina tried to escape with jewels worth several million rubles. This may be slander, however, it is not impossible that the new-gained power corrupted them at least a bit. On the other hand, contemporaries have claimed that Lilina was also a bit nostalgic about her illegal past in exile and still wore clothes she had shopped with Krupskaya in Switzerland.
|Lilina and Stepan, her son
In 1925, Zinoviev, together with Kamenev formed a Leningrad Opposition (because of his power base in Leningrad/Petrograd) against Stalin with whom they had fallen out. Lilina and Ravich sided ranks with the Opposition which was, by the way, defended by Krupskaya, who really hated Stalin and sought to keep him from power. The Stalin-led party leadership retaliated and expelled Zinoviev from his posts. Lilina remained in her office, but things may have become difficult for her. The Soviet author Panteleev, for instance, remembers how Lilina in vain tried to make one of his works publish after 1926. In 1926, the Leningrad Opposition united with the Left Opposition around Trotsky and deployed a vast propaganda activity against Stalin. In 1927, Lilina and her friends were expelled from the party for "belonging to a Trotskyist opposition", but reinstalled in 1928, again along with her friends. In the same year, she was employed at the department for children's literature in Moscow.
However, she did not remain for long on this post, and must have been very ill at that time. On 28 May 1929, Lilina died from lung cancer in a Leningrad hospital and was buried on the famous Alexander Nevsky cemetery in the same city. Her death was announced in party papers by one single obituary, signed by "a comrade", which may have been Krupskaya. Some years later, Lilina's works were banned.
In some way, death was benevolent to her, for it released her from witnessing the execution of her husband (who, by the way, remarried) and her comrade Kamenev in 1936. Zinoviev had received from Stalin the promise that his family would not be persecuted, but already in February 1937, his and Lilina's son Stepan was shot in a Moscow prison. Lilina's friend Krupskaya had left the opposition in Lilina's life time and tried to make her peace with Stalin, but without much success. Contemporaries have her complain on several occasion on the dreadful state of the Stalinist Soviet Union. She died in 1939, arguably of natural causes, highly decorated but soon forgotten. Ravich had been exiled to Siberia in the 1930s, but she survived Stalin and was released in 1954; she died in 1957.
Few photographs of Lilina are available (there are many in the archives of the social-democratic party, but access is restricted). Some contemporaries have described her, and from that it seems that she was a small, early-aged, but very lively woman. Victor Serge describes her as "a small crop-haired, grey-eyed woman […] sprightly and tough".

text: Good Pnmanship Still Has Value, Experts Say By Stevenson Swanson, The Chicago Tribune August 9, 2005 We've come a long way from John Hancock. In stark contrast to the Bostonian's bold, clear signature on the Declaration of Independence, handwriting in America seems to have degenerated into tangles of scratches and wiggles that bear only passing resemblance to any letters of the alphabet. But handwriting is not ready to sign off forever. Even in an era of practically omnipresent computer keyboards, legible writing can mean the difference between getting a tax refund or letting the IRS hold onto it because it can't read the address on a tax return. It can mean getting the right prescription from the pharmacy or getting something not just wrong but potentially life-threatening. And now it can affect high school students' chances of getting into the colleges of their choice. In March, the group that administers the SAT college entrance exam changed the make-or-break test to include a handwritten essay that has to be legible so it can be read by a scorer. "Handwriting is surviving in a computer age," said Kate Gladstone of Albany, N.Y., who describes herself as a handwriting repairwoman, teaching adults and students how to write more legibly and quickly. "All of us at times, and some of us all the time, find ourselves in a position where they have to write without an electric power supply." Doctors are under increasing pressure to write legibly to avoid tragic mistakes at hospitals and pharmacies resulting from scrawled orders and prescriptions. And after decades of disregard, writing and penmanship are being emphasized once again at many schools across the country. for full article: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0805/good_penmanship_counts.php3

It's long been held that the first rule of business is that " the customer is always right" but of late the first rule of business looks like it needs a reappraisal that sounds something like "don't fuck with Amazon"
with Amazon virtually sabotaging meal kit company Blue Apron IPO coming out party and wiping billions off the market caps off big box retailers with a few well-placed press releases, there has been a lot of talk that Amazon is becoming too powerful to exist in its current state which has led to predictions that the Seattle based behemoth may be broken up.
Predictions of amazon's fractured future looks ominous as it even begins to make significant inroads on fellow giants Facebook, Google, and Apple (often described as the four horsemen) in key markets particularly cloud and voice where Amazon is beating them. Amazon is even threatening the Google and Facebook ad duopoly with ad agency WPP and L'Oreal upping their ad spend on the platform as Amazon is quickly becoming the venue where consumers are searching and buying products on the net.
However, the nature of US antitrust law means Amazon's dominance will largely go unchallenged as unlike the European antitrust tradition, US anti-trust law are geared towards protecting consumers rather than seller or producers from dominant firms who exercise their market power unfairly.
However, this hasn't stopped Amazon running afoul of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) which is currently under intense pressure to review Amazon game changing acquisition of high end grocer Whole Foods for just under $14 billion dollars. Whether the FTC succumbs to the pressure or not, it's hard to see what the FTC can do to stop or stall the acquisition given both companies represent a near negligible portion of the massive $700 billion grocery market and with Amazon almost certainly planning to lower Whole Foods notoriously high prices, the FTC have no real grounds to nip the acquisition in the bud.
But the FTC, as Cleveland State University Law professor Chris Sagers pointed out in an article he wrote for Slate, can probe whether Amazon's dominance in is stifling innovation. Indeed, the FTC could have a field day probing the four horsemen on the grounds of stifling innovation as for all the idealistic rhetoric that comes out of Silicon Valley about disruptive innovation, it has suddenly become very dangerous for budding startups to even mildly challenge the four horsemen dominance, Amazon and Facebook in particular.
Just ask Blue Apron, who at the time of writing are still trading below their IPO price and Snapchat who are hovering just above it how much it sucks going up against a company that can shamelessly copy your most innovative features or launch their own version of your service sending your stock in a tail spin because they have the reach, cash, and customer base to drive you and your direct competitors out of business before you've even started.
Even successful and well-run companies such as Spotify and Netflix are feeling the heat of horsemen Apple and Amazon breathing down their necks forcing them spend more and more on content and attracting new customers like they're new players in the marketplace despite being market leaders by some distance. It's now gotten to a point where startups are finding it hard to even compete without dealing with the four horsemen as they have by far the largest business ecosystems which means startups have often to compete against each other and the four horsemen while becoming part their large business ecosystems.
The same thing is happening to companies that aren't even part of tech world such as CPG brands who increasingly have to do business with Amazon whether they like it or not even as Amazon embraces private label brands and takes a commanding lead in voice which poses a threat to the idea of brands altogether. We've seen similar relationships develop between publishers and the Google/ Facebook duopoly where publishers are increasingly being pulled into the orbit of Google and Facebook ecosystems just to get revenue they already lost to the duopoly in the open market.
In sum, whoever Trump decides to lead U.S. competition policy will have tough time bringing a strong case against the four horsemen, particularly Amazon despite their dominance.


text: NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A contrite U.S. Army Corps of Engineers took responsibility Thursday for the flooding of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina and said the levees failed because they were built in a disjointed fashion using outdated data. "This is the first time that the Corps has had to stand up and say, 'We've had a catastrophic failure," ' Lt. Gen. Carl Strock, the Corps chief, said as the agency issued a 6,000-page-plus report on the disaster on day 1 of the new hurricane season. The $19.7 million report includes details on the engineering and design failures that allowed the storm surge to overwhelm New Orleans' levees and flood walls Aug. 29. The much-anticipated report -- prepared by the 150-member Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force, assembled and headed by the Corps -- is intended to serve as a road map for engineers as they seek to design and build better levees and flood walls. Serious work began on New Orleans' hurricane protection system in the 1960s after Hurricane Betsy flooded the city in 1965. But over the decades, funding slackened and many parts of the system were not finished by the time Katrina hit. The result was a disjointed system of levees -- inconsistent in quality, materials and design -- that left gaps exploited by the storm, the report said. Four breaches in canals that run through New Orleans were caused by foundation failures that were "not considered in the original design of these structures," the report said. Those breaches caused two-thirds of the city's flooding.

Over the past year there have been a few films that centralize around social network sites, the most famous of these films is, of course, David Fincher's The Social Network, which lost out to The King's Speech for the Best Picture Oscar for the year 2010. We also had Catfish which was a documentary about the problems of social network sites, similarly to Trust, Catfish shows that you can be anybody you want to on the internet and not everybody is who they say they are.
Annie (Liana Liberato) is a normal, shy, insecure fourteen year old, she is sweet, very likeable and really should have no trouble making friends. For her birthday she receives a brand new computer which she uses instantly to chat to people online. She becomes very friendly with a 16 year old called Charlie however it turns out he is not 16 but 21. Even this is not true as he later reveals that he is 25 but even this is not true as when the pair agree to meet up Annie discovers that he is not 25 at all but much older. Charlie (Chris Henry Coffey) seduces Annie bringing her to his hotel room in which he rapes her.
Trust looks at the aftermath of the horrific act of rape by showing the different reactions to the crime. The mother, Lynn (Catherine Keener) attempts to rebuild and care for her daughter's shattered and destroyed life, while Will (Clive Owen) is full of anger and wants retribution on the man who tricked and seduced his daughter. Schwimmer's film shows that care, nurture and love is the best way to heal (if that is possible) a victim of rape rather than vengeance and the beating of a man does not undo what happened to an innocent victim of rape. It also shows the reaction from the victim and how at first Annie convinces herself that the two are in love but as the film progresses she begins to doubt and hate herself for what this man has done to her. It's powerful, moving stuff and director David Schwimmer handles quite sensitive, very real and very serious issues extremely well creating a heartbreaking but compelling drama that does a good job at looking not just at the crime itself but the aftermath of the crime and the huge strain it can place on a family that once was strong and united.
An act of rape destroys the victim's life forever, what makes matters worse is that very few rapists are actually caught due to the shame that the victims feel as they wash themselves of evidence. This feeling of shame and self loathing is exceptionally well shown by a magnificent performance by young star Liana Liberato. Liana Liberato really holds the movie together, it's the most important role and aspect of the film as she is the whole foundation of the film and Liberato represents many girls who have fallen to a similar fate. Liberato's exceptional performance is the main aspect that keeps viewers shocked, compelled and disturbed. Clive Owen is also excellent as the girl's father who is racked with guilt at his failures of being a father and belief that going on a quest of vengeance is the correct way to overcome this. Catherine Keener is also mightily impressive as the mother who takes a different approach to her daughter's traumatic experience. The rape causes cracks in the family, relationships are damaged and lives are changed forever.
David Schwimmer, who is an active director of the Rape Treatment Center in Santa Monica, which specializes in helping victims of date rape and child rape, can now be taken as a serious filmmaker as his second directional effort is a great one. The contrast to his previous effort, the decent Run Fatboy Run, is almost impossible to comprehend. Trust is a film that Schwimmer always wanted to make as the issue that Trust looks at is important to him; it's a personal project of Schwimmer's. Schwimmer matter-of-fact story telling is superb and along with the actors does an exceptional job at showing that the aftermath can be just as bad as the act of rape itself.
That said Trust is flawed, the tracking of the pervert is done CSI style and not really needed as Trust should stay focused on the effects that rape can have on the victim and a family as a whole. Trust is also slightly melodramatic in places, Jim Loach's film Oranges and Sunshine shows that a film can be just as powerful without all the melodrama and it does take a rather long time for anyone to figure out that this man has done this to other girls before. One of Schwimmer's themes is the over sexualisation of teens and the occupation that Will does causes him to exactly this as it requires him to take revealing pictures of younger girls, this seems a bit too ironic to be true and because of this the message Schwimmer wishes to send out never effectively pays off.
Trust is a film that will never do well in the cinemas but the success it deserves will be more profound on DVD. Trust is a well meaning, brilliantly acted compelling drama that is a powerful watch. Despite having some flaws the exceptional performances of the actors involved counter any flaws that are present in the movie. Trust shows that you can be anyone you want on the internet and nobody is none the wiser to what you say is true or not. It looks the effects of rape in a respectful and sensitive manner showing what it can do to a strong, united family.

You all must have heard the story Dan's stunt double already the past week. Daniel's stunt double David Holmes (25) was seriously injured while filming a flying sequence for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. And now Daniel has visited him together with Tom Felton (with girlfriend) now he's back in London.
"The actors appeared shaken upon leaving the hospital, and with due cause – Holmes has been Daniel's body double for all of the Harry Potter movies, and the injuries to his spine could cause paralysis."Update: It is being reported that David Holmes, will never walk again following his accident. David will remain confined to a wheelchair.
"A friend said: "David is struggling to come to terms with the news.The friend said: "David had done the stunt earlier that day but he said that it was harder to perform than usual and that it hurt when it was pulling him back."It's a dangerous stunt and David knew that. Most stuntmen get double their daily pay to carry it out."The stunt went terribly wrong and David was thrown so far that he missed all of the safety mats. He hit the ground very hard."He told crew members he couldn't feel anything from the waist down."
A source revealed: "Greg (Stunt co-ordinator) is devastated by what has happened. He was there when the surgeons told David that he would never walk again.It's terrible news but his family and friends are trying to offer him as much support as they can."He is so young and was very good at his job. But his life will be completely altered now."The source added: "Although David has been told he'll never walk again he is still not giving up hope."Deep down he knows it's unlikely but it's still early days and so he's not giving up completely."

Lately, it seems Americans have become unshockable. The word that starts with "mother"—or more precisely "mutha"—delivers about as much sting as "darn." Walk through an American city, and you'll hear the once-unutterable obscenity bandied about on the street, across social, generational, racial, and ethnic lines. What the bleep gives? And does bad language make us bad people?
If so, it looks like we may be turning into a nation of evil-doers. According to an Associated Press-Ipsos poll conducted in March 2006, two-thirds of respondents believe that there's more swearing now than 20 years ago. Seventy-four percent said they experience the use of profanity in public frequently or occasionally. And 64 percent said they use the F-word anywhere from several times a day (8 percent) to a few times a year (15 percent).
The question of whether coarse language degrades our social fabric has become a staple of culture-wars debates. And social critics on both the left and the right blame pop culture for all the trash talking. But popular demand, in the form of online user-generated videos and blogs, pushed the epithet marrying "mother" to the medieval term for sexual congress into this summer's most parodied action movie, "Snakes on a Plane."
After one blogger created a mock movie trailer in which actor Samuel L. Jackson tells his fellow passengers, "I've had it with these snakes on this plane!" the blogosphere was abuzz with the more obscene version of the phrase, perhaps in an homage to Jackson's fondness for the word in his earlier film, "Pulp Fiction." Eager to give fans what they want, the folks at New Line Cinema worked the obscenity-laced scene into the finished product.
It could be that the "Snakes" phenomenon finally has defanged the taboo around the term, and we've simply reached another milestone in a long history of linguistic envelope-pushing in movies and pop music. Or is it something more--a signal that Americans no longer see swearing as transgressive?
According to Dr. Timothy Jay, a psychologist and author of books on swearing, including "Cursing in America" and "Why We Curse," trashy talking is a basic human impulse. "This language fulfills emotional needs on two levels: my need, as a speaker, to cope with some emotion, like fear or surprise, and it conveys that feeling very effectively to someone else." In fact, says Jay, it can be a social safety valve: "It allows us to express our emotions without physicality….Once you can tell people 'I hate you,' you no longer have to put yourself in jeopardy to prove it."
Despite what the AP-Ipsos survey suggests about curse-creep, Jay's research shows that the use of obscenity and profanity has remained "very stable" over the past 20 years. In his latest field study, conducted in 2006, Jay's research assistants listened to people talking in public around the country and computed that of 3,000 instances of swearing, the f-word remains the most commonly used curse—followed, in descending order, by, s--t, Oh my God (mainly used by women); hell; Jesus/Jesus Christ; damn; ass, suck, God damn, b---h.
"M-----f----r is down at about 17," Jay says.
"In the Christian community, such language is completely unacceptable," says Ben Witherington, Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Asbury Theological Seminary in Wilmore, Ky. "While the obscenity you refer to is not sacrilegious in the normal sense, it is a clear violation of one of the Ten Commandments: Honor thy father and mother. I would not see this as something that gives you a one-way ticket to hell, but as the Bible says, what comes out the mouth reflects what's in the heart, and such language shows that a person is not spiritually well."

Arriva London launches its Payroll Giving 2017 campaign
Every year, Arriva London's staff show their incredible generosity by supporting over 160 charities each and every pay day through the company's Payroll Giving scheme. The scheme, which encourages staff to easily give to any charity they choose through their payroll for as little as £1 a week, is also tax efficient for both the employee and the charities.
2017 is, like the previous five years, no exception with Arriva London launching a new campaign to promote Payroll Giving to those staff who haven't signed up yet. The whole scheme is completely voluntary and open to all employees. Thus far, over 20% of the staff give in this way, resulting in Arriva London being awarded the Platinum Quality Mark for achieving that milestone, but we would like to encourage more to maintain that status, if not move on to the newly created Diamond Quality Mark, awarded when 30% of staff give to charity via their payroll.
The campaign theme again is 'It's easy to give with Payroll Giving, your colleagues do it every day', which will be promoted through weekly road shows at each of the company's seventeen London garages, together with a poster and video campaign, which tells givers' stories.
Payroll Givers' stories like Rafiu, who has been affected by cancer himself, says:
"I support Prostate Cancer UK: it has affected me and I have been cured 100%. Over 10,000 men die every year in the UK from prostate cancer, so I will support the charity each and every time."
And Claudia, a bus driver at our Brixton garage, who explains:
"I chose Great Ormond Street Hospital as I love kids. I have kids of my own and I wouldn't want them to be affected in this way. I love to help them."
Also George, another one of our drivers, who supports the children's charity CLIC Sargent:
"The trouble these children are going through really touches me. It's always better to give than receive, that's my policy."
All participants in the scheme are also entered into a company quarterly draw, which gives four winners each a cheque from Arriva London for £250 for their chosen charity.
All Payroll Givers are also entered into a ballot, which gives them the chance to be one of forty participants in Arriva London's 2017 Lord Mayor's Show entry on November 11th.
The beauty of the scheme is that the staff can choose exactly who they give to, and how much they give, and with such a diverse workforce it means that over 160 charities benefit, from well-known national or international ones to very local causes.
Published : Thu 15th Sep. 2016 - Thu 20th Oct. 2016
Arriva London's Route 253 converts to New Routemasters
The new buses were initially delivered from Wrightbus in Northern Ireland to Arriva's North London Edmonton garage, where they were checked and prepared for going into service.
November the 12th will see Arriva London double its presence in the Lord Mayor's Show
We will have a much larger presence in the parade this year, with the introduction of our Platinum Payroll Giving bus HV64 to accompany RMC 1464.
Arriva London introduces twenty-two new buses for the new route 450 contract
The new contract has seen the introduction of twenty-two new Euro 6 compliant Wrightbus StreetLite single-deck buses, the first to be introduced to Arriva London's fleet.
Golden Bus from Arriva London for children's cancer charity Momentum
Momentum held the Family Fun Day picnic and the Golden Bus Trip for around a dozen families that it supports, who have children currently undergoing cancer treatment or who are in remission.
Arriva London paints a bus Platinum to celebrate 1,000 staff giving to 160 charities every Pay day through Payroll Giving
When Arriva London started their Payroll Giving promotional program in 2014, encouraging more staff to get involved with giving to charity through the Payroll Giving scheme, they didn't realise how welcoming the staff would be to the idea, and how generous the Payroll Givers would be.
Please wait...

Padres in Television and Movies
I was trying to think of which Padres have had the biggest career in Hollywood. No folks I'm not talking about the guys who played for the Hollywood Stars of yesteryear.
During my daily meditation on the Padres, I was thinking about Wally Joyner's appearence in "Little Big League". Was this the greatest Padres moment on the big screen?
Here are links to other Noteable Padres resume's on IMDB.
- Baseball's Hall of Fame Broadcaster Jerry Coleman was in 61*.
- Steve Garvey was on the Gong Show
- Matt Vasgersian always bragged about being in some of his Dad's TV shows, but they aren't listed here.
- Dave Winfield was on "Married with Children"
- John Kruk actually had a real part
- Ozzie Smith was on "The Simpsons"
I thought Ted Leitner woulda been on "Simon and Simon" way back in the day, but I guess not.
I can't think of anybody else to check.
* Billy Crystal sucks.

So even though my muse is on the fritz again, I've come to realize one important thing… I am a writer of prose. I tried my hand at screenwriting, and while on the first day I churned out more than ten pages, on day two I only wrote three or so and by day four and seventeen pages I had totally run out of steam.
Now, if I'm being honest with myself the first time that I tried to write a novel in a month I gave up around the ten day mark, and several attempts after my two initial wins ended around the 12k mark where a lot of my stories fizzle out and die… the point being that if I were to really put my mind to it I probably could write a script. However, I don't.
Through my feeble attempt at Script Frenzy I have realized that I am a prose writer through and through. I thought that description was the bane of my existence as a writer, however I've come to realize that without the description I lose sight of what my story is about. It is also true that the dialogue comes easy to me, I see my stories as movies in my head but when it comes to translating that image onto the page, I need the description to balance out the words.
So while Script Frenzy was a complete bust, I fully intend on trying my hand at the two sessions of Camp National Novel Writing Month in June and August and the normal National Novel Writing Month in November. What I'm going to write for those three months, I have no idea. I am contemplating doing my Retold Tales which will be my re-imagining of my favourite fairy tales, and I am contemplating doing a sequel to either Dreamscape or Circle of Light, or maybe something new entirely. Only time will really tell I guess.
While I wait for June and August and November I plan on continuing to work on my Steampunk short story. Right now I'm mostly writing it on my phone and then e-mailing the results to me. I find this way of writing quite satisfactory because I'm not as pressured into making every word perfect. I also plan on rewriting Circle of Light to get it to the point where I won't mind having a proof for it. My coupon for winning NaNo 2011 expires after June 30th so I've only got a little bit of time to get the story finished. Plus it will be easier two write the two sequels when I've completed the first novel.
I also plan on working on my short stories in an attempt to get them publish ready. I took most of my writing down from Fictionpress and while I see some gems in the stories that I did take down, I know that I will totally have to polish them up if I want them to be worth anything.
Ideas keep flowing through my head, and the plot bunnies keep multiplying. I am no where near my writing goal for this year (on the plus side I am getting a lot of reading done) but I feel that if I can churn out some really good pieces then it won't matter if I hit my number goal at all.
So I bid you readers adieu for the night as I am going back to Word to write. ^_^

In this fast pace business world companies are spending billions of dollars in training their sales forces about their product. But why only a few of the companies are successful when it comes to product training initiatives and rest are not able to yield the desired results? How can a company build an efficient and effective product training program? Let us have a look at it.
Well, product training program should impart an in-depth knowledge of the product or service being offered to the sales team. As a general rule, product training ensures that the sales team understands:
The features and functionality of the product
The features of the product are captured in detail in the input Product Features. When product features are presented to sales personnel, it is important to focus on how the features will benefit the customer. The sales team will need to be instructed on the intent and use of each feature. They may require practice using the product or demonstrations of its functionality. The corporate sales staff should have a level of familiarity with the product that enables them to explain the value of each feature, display the product's ease of use, and answer any questions the customer might have about the features.
The customer's use of the product
The way in which the customer uses the product, or integrates it into their existing system, is a key area that the corporate sales staff must understand. The ability to view the product's purchase and implementation from the customer's point of view greatly helps the sales staff to communicate with the customer, as it demonstrates knowledge of the customer's needs. Descriptions of customer use and integration may be captured as part of the product strategy, the product features, and the sales value proposition.
Competitor's products and their similarities and differences
The corporate sales staff needs to be trained on the specifics of any competitor's products. Knowledge of similar products will help the sales staff focus on areas in which their product is superior, and anticipate customer questions.
How the product actually achieves the promised sales value proposition.
Being able to effectively communicate how the sales value proposition is applicable to a specific customer or target audience is a key component of corporate sales. The sales team will need training on the sales value proposition, which areas are of interest to which companies, and the quantifiable results of using the product.
Industry trends (related to product use)
Industry trends related to product use help the corporate sales team understand the usage patterns of customers over time. This can also help determine future buying trends. Knowledge of industry trends needs to be updated regularly. The corporate sales team must have access to market research reports to stay current on trends.
Additional offerings
Additional offerings refer to any incentive programs, sales commissions, and gifts for customers. The corporate sales team must know the company policy related to additional offerings when meeting with and presenting information to customers. Many buyers in large organizations are prohibited from accepting gifts or commissions from sellers. The seller can offer "value-adds" as part of the contract. This avoids the appearance of impropriety because it provides the incentives to the buying organization rather than to any one individual.
An effective product training program focuses more towards the benefits of the product and less towards its features. It utilizes the technology and provides the information for the product team. The product training programs are one of the vital parts of the organizational culture, especially of those organizations which are performing really great in the industry.

Cool Videos: Captain Picard sings "Let It Snow"
As we get closer and closer to Christmas, I anticipate some great holiday themed videos. Let me ring in the season with this cleverly pieced together video of Captain Picard singing "Let It Snow".
It's not just Captain Picard though, it's several members of the Enterprise-D. The most entertaining part is at the :44 mark. There's also a whole lot of this:
I was just thinking, you know all those pics we've been seeing with Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellan being super best friends who do awesome stuff all the time-- maybe they should do a Christmas song together. Make it so.

3ie replication paper 3: Part 1 and 2
Reanalysis of health and educational impacts of a school-based deworming program in western Kenya Part 1 and 2: pure replication and alternative analyses
3ie Replication Paper 3: Part 1 and 2, 2014
3ie funded a two-part replication study of Edward Miguel and Michael Kremer's well-known impact evaluation of a school-based deworming programme in Kenya. The original study, Worms: Identifying Impacts on Education and Health in the Presence of Treatment Externalities (2004), found that deworming has a significant impact on reducing worm infections and increasing school attendance.
The replication study reproduces the econonomists' analysis from the viewpoint of epidemiology. In part 1, Alexander Aiken, Calum Davey, James Hargreaves and Richard Hayes, present a pure replication that reexamines the coding and methodologies used by the original authors in their publication.
In part 2, Calum Davey, Alexander Aiken, Richard Hayes, and James Hargreaves apply alternative analyses to the original research effort, including testing alternative estimation strategies and an examination of the causal chain to see how the conclusions reached compare with those of the original study.
3ie also invites formal replies from the original authors. These are published on the 3ie website together with the replication study.

John Fitzpatrick
Professor; Louis Agassiz Fuertes Director, Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology
I am an ornithologist with expertise in avian behavior, ecology, biogeography, and conservation biology. Since 1995 I've been Director of the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, a world renowned institute for research, education, and conservation of birds, and for communication about science and conservation to the general public. The Lab is a global pioneer in "citizen science" projects that now engage hundreds of thousands of public citizens in research on bird distribution, movements, and population trends. My current research centers on ecology, social behavior, and conservation genetics of the endangered Florida Scrub-Jay, including engagement in a comprehensive, nearly 50-year-long study of a color-banded population at the Archbold Biological Station, where I was Executive Director before coming to Cornell. My teaching background includes BioEE 2670: Introduction to Conservation Biology and other ornithology courses at Cornell.

My main area of research has been on conservation and management of endangered species. I use detailed field studies of population biology, fire ecology, and spatially explicit modelling to understand the demography and population viability of the endangered Florida Scrub-Jay under alternative management scenarios. I also work with experts in population genetics and genomics to study the genetic underpinnings of fitness and the genomic consequences of population decline. Our studies are playing a key role in long-term conservation planning for natural areas in Florida, which are under severe threat from rapid human population growth and residential and commercial development statewide.

An official of the Mumbai Crime Branch has stated that he is connected with the IPL 2013 spot fixing of cricket matches. After questioning, he was found to be connected to the bookies. Vindoo the 49 year old Bollywood actor had won Bigg Boss – Season 3, a reality show on television. He has been attending a number of post cricket match parties. On many occasions he has been found watching the IPL matches as well. In the Bollywood industry, so far he has been the first one to be arrested in relation to the Indian cricket scandal. Whether or not he is linked with the bookies and IPL players or just betting is not yet properly known. The Special Cell of Delhi Police is also been probing in the spot fixing scandal besides the Crime Branch, Mumbai. A casting director had been sending pictures of models to cricketer S Sreesanth who is now being questioned by the Delhi Police.
