text: The Chocolate Café in Upper Arlington can be summed up in one syllable (and one letter, at that): mmmm. This chocolate cake, warmed up and serve à la mode, was spongy and gooey (and when I say that, I mean it in a good way). They're open late, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, which makes for a great place to go when you're craving a midnight snack on a weekend. The atmosphere is casual, and the food is reasonably priced.

So for my current manicure I went with a shade from China Glaze's Fall Collection - Vintage Vixens. I selected Emerald Fitzgerald. It's described as a turquoise green frost with shimmer. I feel this crosses over very nicely into the Holiday season.
Until recently, I didn't really embrace full on color on my nails - I delegated dark colors to my toes only. I went through a french manicure phase - I know some of you may regard that as tacky but on natural nails it can be a very clean and polished look. Now I feel that cold weather and long nights call for deep, strong colors. Luckily I work in an enviroment where I'm not judged by nail color - my bosses are still trying to accept my cherry blossom wrist tattoo but I know I've won that battle.
YAY for fun nail colors!
I got this done on Saturday and I'm sad to report that my nails are chipping pretty severly. Maybe it's because I should have reapplied a top coat yesterday but I do try to preserve my color as long as possible to get my money's worth. I am considering trying out the colored gel polishes that's supposed to last a full 2wks but at this point I'm a bit afraid since over extended acrylic use in my past caused damage to my right thumbnail. My left was damaged as well but just as of a few months ago, I am happy to report that it's now healed. I am still waiting for my right thumb to heal.
As for my toes - I took a break from greys, purples and the ever popular 'greige' and went with a deep, blackened wine. Here's Rescue Beauty Lounge - Film Noir.

12. Chapter 6: How Fast Should I Go?
Chapter 6: How Fast Should I Go?
If you choose to investigate Judaism by taking on some level of observance, beware: the greatest mistake you can make is not pacing yourself properly.
If you attempt diving in before you can swim, you're in trouble. On the other hand, if you procrastinate before starting your climb to the next level of learning and observance, you're likely never to progress and even run the risk of losing the Judaism you have attained.
Each individual getting involved has his or her own unique pace setting. No two people are exactly alike and it would be impossible to give a standard "from non-observance to observance" timetable.
So how can you tell what the right speed is for you? Ask yourself:
* Do I have a Rebbe to guide me?
* Do I Know people who have made a successful transition to observant Judaism and with whom I can share experiences?
* Do I know enough about what I am doing?
* Am I comfortable doing it? (As a general rule, if the previous three points are in place, you'll be comfortable with what you're doing or what you are about to do.)
If you can answer yes to all the above, you're ready to go to the next step. If you can't answer yes to all the above, prepare yourself so you can.
Ask your Rebbe which specific mitzvahs (observances) to undertake and then go and work on them. By work we mean study and action. Learn about the particular mitzvah (observance) and then try to do it perfectly - the feeling you will have is indescribable.
You should only work on specific mitzvahs at any one time so as not to be overwhelmed.
Be sure your getting joy as you do each mitzvah, both from a genuine feeling of accomplishment on your part and from the knowledge you have done the will of the Creator. This joy will be the greatest impetus to your further growth.
For some a little diary is a great help; you can look back and see how much progress you have made.
A time-schedule for observance is a little tricky - certainly don't set one for yourself without consultation with your Rebbe. As always, talk to peers who have made a successful transition so that you can compare, contrast and thereby get insights into your development.
Remember, Judaism is for your entire life. The time you spend preparing yourself for it, is an important investment in your future and your family's future. Take your time and be on solid ground.
On the other hand, you don't necessarily have to hit bedrock before starting to build.
The "all or nothing" syndrome is a dangerous approach and an easy cop-out. It goes something like this: "Judaism is great but I'm just not ready for it yet and it would be hypocritical to be somewhat observant without accepting everything."
In fact, the Torah addresses this type of individual by essentially telling us: "No one can be perfect but we have to try our best." The bottom line is this: the Torah clearly is not an all or nothing proposition in the practical sense.
Take one mitzvah at a time, get comfortable with it and move on to the next rung of observance.
The story of the tortoise and the hare is very much in place here. The tortoise won the race by plodding forward.
The lesson for us all is "PLOD AND GO FORWARD!"

Many years ago, Linda came to my school in the position as Instructional Support Teacher. I was thrilled. I have clear memories of Linda when she was a 3rd grade classroom teacher at the urban school where I was doing my elementary school counseling internship. I can remember Linda in her classroom - small in stature but a spitfire! I was in awe of how she handled her room, how she instructed, and how she created such strong relationships with her students (especially those who came to school each day with a host of challenges) and parents/guardians. She is someone who stuck with me and here she was at my school a few years later to share her expertise with all of us! How lucky!!
In her position as Instructional Support Teacher, she quickly became a highly respected part of the school staff. Her teaching experience and work ethic were magnetic in drawing teachers to her for help with struggling students, for ideas on improving classroom instruction, for guidance on behavior management and class management, for help to become better planners, and how to reflect on each classroom moment. Ultimately, she was helping teachers create optimal active learning for all students in their classrooms and intervening with struggling students along the way.
Her expertise and life experiences made her an asset in working with the parents of the students she was intervening with. She spoke from the heart and even in the most difficult of meetings she was able to say the difficult things with compassion.
Finally, her no-nonsense style paired with respect, care, and kindness made quite an impression with the kids. They all knew where they stood with her, what her high expectations were, and that they would all be treated fairly. They knew that she would expect their best and would be recognized for doing so. If they chose to make poor choices - well, there would certainly be consequences.
When Linda retired a number of years ago, I had a really difficult time adjusting to life in my school without her presence; she became a great friend to me. She continues to be my go-to-person for educational advice and conversation (and for life advice for that matter). We have grand ideas about improving education and instruction for children and many of them went nowhere after we pitched them. Linda is currently teaching at a local college and mentoring some up and coming classroom teachers.
Why will Linda be contributing to this blog for school counselors?As I've said before, I have a passion for great teaching, curriculum, learning (that is why I earned a Ph.D. in this area). I love being in front of a room full of kids during my lessons and I enjoy getting involved with how to intervene academically (and behaviorally of course). The role of the teacher is such a dynamic one - a role I have great respect for. To be an excellent and dynamic teacher it takes a ton of work, planning, vision, compassion, management, patience, and reflection (just as it does to be an excellent and dynamic school counselor). So, I feel that Linda has something to offer to the teachers out there. She will be offering to the teachers what she has learned during her years in the classroom. Tips, ideas, and wisdom for teachers!
Now for the school counselors. Many, many school counselors and many, many school counseling graduate students do not have classroom teaching certifications or classroom teaching experience. I have seen first hand with the interns I supervised over the years and the graduate students I have had the pleasure of working with, that because of this lack of classroom experience, they lack the knowledge of how a school works, the school culture, instruction/interventions, classroom management and behavior management in a classroom, etc. Not that someone can't overcome this lack of knowledge, but it sure does put school counselors in a position of having to prove themselves to the teachers in their building. School counselors need to prove to classroom teachers that they truly understand what is happening behind their classroom door. They have to prove that they can handle a classroom for a lesson, they need to prove that they are able to help students succeed in not only in personal/social development, but in academic and career development. School counselors need to prove that they can empathize with a classroom teacher and truly understand the classroom teacher's struggles, challenges, and triumphs. So, I feel that Linda has something to offer all the school counselors out there. A glimpse into the life of a classroom teacher. She will instruct school counselors about what is happening in the classroom - teaching, curriculum, planning, learning, behavior and class management, on and on and on. School counselors may want to forward Linda's posts to the teachers in their building -- some great reading for them, but also, it will show that as a school counselor, you are making an effort to truly understand their difficult, difficult job.
I hope you enjoy this new addition to Entirely Elementary...School Counseling!

For my class on understanding games and impact, we have to describe 60 minutes of gameplay. As I mentioned in my last post, I have chosen to analyze gameplay from Catherine, a game about a man who has a supernatural nightmare that mirrors his real-life dilemma of choosing between a life of marriage or a life of fun. I chose to record my playthrough from start to finish and have divided the video into digestible chunks. In this post I will be providing the video and then following each video will be a description of the mechanics described and used in the game, as well as how the game progresses through its narrative. A side note on the structure of Catherine, as I describe in a previous post, the game is divided into three parts. The first part is a climbing block puzzle, the second deals with narrative decisions that affect the resolution of the game, and the third is a section of narrative feedback, which describes the results of the player's performance in the first two parts. Keep this in mind when viewing the videos.

Making the Epic of Sadko: Using Mindmaps and Making Changes
This is an overall update on the work I've done for the Epic of Sadko over the last week. This one will be a bit less technical than usual, as I'm still mostly in the planning phase and haven't started really writing any code specifically for the game. Instead, I've been spending a lot of time getting all the details worked out, and changing some things that weren't quite working when I was designing the game the last time. I'll detail all of those changes here today, and explain my overall planning process. I'm going to start with the process first, and then go onto the more specifics. Future posts might focus on one of the topics discussed below.
Platformer Prototype: A Design Literacy
So, for the past month I have slowly been working on a game project for a class I am taking. The class is Language and Learning in a Digital Age, and a lot of it is about literacy, or how we as individuals morph and understand language, particularly in this age where language is everywhere and is evolving in new media. That being said, I approached this project a bit in the wrong direction. Today I'm going to try to wind it back to something that fits with the class I am taking.
You Can Only Use the Scissors to Cut the String
One of the things that most annoys me in a number of games is when I have a great idea that should work, but the game doesn't have any special coding for the idea and so my great idea is null and void. One expects this if you've come up with a convoluted idea that would only work in The Incredible Machine, but when it's as simple as, "I have a knife and I want to cut that string, but no matter how I try I can't cut the string with the knife," is when it gets frustrating and takes you out of the game. Most modern games don't quite have it this bad, but there are still some situations in modern games where this happens and you start thinking in terms of gaming, rather than terms of existing. The phrase "Of course it won't let me do that" comes to mind. When players utter this or similar phrases, we are now talking about the game as a separate entity, distancing ourselves from the immersion set up by the game.
Of course, there is a problem here. The game designers who make a game have no idea who their players will be as an individual. They can only fathom just so many combinations of possible actions. This is where emergent gameplay comes from, as players discover unexpected ways to use the actions created by the designers. Emergent gameplay is generally considered a good thing, but it points at the problem. As the designers cannot predict everything that a player may want to do, they will unintentionally close off actions that, to the players, seem like a perfectly viable thing to do. This is only natural. If a game designer tried to make every combination of actions possible for every situation, games would never get made. It would be unrealistic to expect a game to do everything that a player would want it to do, as the vast number of permutations would not only delay the making of the game, but also make it less accessible (owing to the games increasingly larger size on a hard disc). This unfortunately causes a gap between the player, the game and the game designer.

This week our Bright Air team is celebrating Wellness Week, with various daily activities to help enhance our mind, body, and spirit. It's all part of our belief in Positive Living. When our team is feeling good, we're inspired to create better products for you!
We also want to share a little Wellness Week love with all of you, our loyal Bright Air customers!
Did you know that you can intentionally create positive rituals using fragrance? That's right – you can train your brain to have a specific reaction when you experience an aroma, and it's easier than you think. All you have to do is reflect on a positive thought or affirmation; for example, "today I'm going to have a good day", or "I feel energized", then purposely smell a fragrance. Once trained, each time you smell this aroma, you'll remember the affirmation and the positive intentions associated with it.
Even better, you can use any aroma you choose. Whether you love bright florals, woody fragrances, or foodie flavors, the affirmation can be associated to your favorite fragrance. Visualization can also help enhance the experience and strengthen the results.
You can use this technique to improve your own well-being, enhance sport performance, increase your energy, or whatever mind-set you are trying to create!
Need some ideas? Think about feeling euphoric while smelling our Bright Air Hawaiian Blossoms & Papaya Scented Oil Air Freshener, or feeling energized while you smell a Zesty Lemon & Lime Super Odor Eliminator.
Post in the comments below on what types of fragrance affirmation you'd like to create!

The MultiChoice Talent Factory announces MTF Academy Class of 2019
By Staff Writer
MultiChoice Africa is thrilled to announce that the final students for the MultiChoice Talent Factory (MTF) Academy Class of 2019 have been chosen. After a two-month long rigorous selection process across 13 African countries, 60 aspiring filmmakers representing East Africa, Southern Africa and West Africa will begin their 12-month training programme at the MTF Academies in Nairobi, Lusaka & Lagos in October this year.
The final candidates were selected after a rigorous interview and adjudication process by film and television experts, as well as regional Academy Directors Njoki Muhoho (East Africa), Berry Lwando (Southern Africa) and Femi Odugbemi (West Africa). Launched in May 2018 as part of MultiChoice Africa's ground-breaking corporate shared value (CSV) initiative, the MTF Academy is a 12-month fully-funded training programme aimed at upskilling the next generation of passionate young film creatives. As the first touchpoint of the shared-value initiative, the academy's curriculum was tailored alongside MultiChoice Africa partner institutions Pan-Atlantic University in Lekki, Kenyatta University in Nairobi, and the University of Zambia in Lusaka, which will respectively confer the course qualification upon completion of the academy programme.
In addition, The Henley Business School offers an orientation intervention to the students at the beginning and end of the 12-month programme. The appetite for training opportunities across Africa is massive within the creative film and TV industry, according to MultiChoice Talent Factory Director Cheryl Uys-Allie, which is exactly why the MTF Academy programme was launched."As one of the few industry players that not only tell African stories but also invest in them, the need for a dynamic training programme such as the MTF Academy has been a long time coming. As MultiChoice Africa, we always ask ourselves: what's next in the industry, and how can we better prepare for it? The MTF Academy was the answer to that question: By giving young Africans the chance to hone their television and film production skills," says Uys-Allie.The Class of 2019 is hot on the heels of the inaugural Class of 2018, who are ready to graduate and have their first films screened on M-Net channels and Showmax.
This year's class will reap the additional rewards of -new partnerships between the MTF Academy and Jasco Broadcast Solutions as well as Nihilent with its connection to Bollywood, as well as existing partnerships with the New York Film Academy College of Visual & Performing Arts (NYFA), DOLBY Institute and Universal Music Nigeria (UMG). As part of their curriculum, the 2019 candidates will also be exposed to the MTF Masterclasses, aimed at upskilling industry professionals and emerging creatives alike by offering exclusive access to practical, expert-led industry skills workshops across the 13 participating countries. Here's to another year of investing directly in Africa's dynamic storytelling spirit through the MTF Academy!

Our client's husband tripped and fell in his house sustaining severe head injuries. Several days later he died of subdural hematoma. The insured's medical records showed that his brain began to swell because of his injury and the oxygen supply was cut off as the blood vessels became squeezed.
At the time of his death he had Accidental Death and Dismemberment coverage. Our client filed an ADD claim with the insurance company. The insurance company denied her claim stating that the loss was not covered, because it fell within the sickness exclusion on the policy. The policy stated that if a sickness contributed to the death, the death is not covered. The company claimed that the insured's low platelet count contributed to the development and progression of the subdural hematoma and the death, therefore, was not a direct result of an accident.
After gathering all the necessary documents and expert witness' opinions, our law firm filed an appeal demanding the payout of the face amount of the policy. Within 30 days of the appeal the insurance company paid $450,000, the total amount of the benefits owed to our client.

Has Rafa been found out?
While many observers are keen to see 'the special one' slip up, there really is no arguing with the season Inter enjoyed in 2009/10. Benitez was never going to find Mourinho an easy act to follow, but has Rafa been found out? Welcome to IBWM Adamo Digby.
Whilst it is relatively easy - not to mention enjoyable - to look at Internazionale and, as a Juventus fan, laugh long and loud at their woes since the departure of Jose Mourinho, taking a closer look at last seasons treble winners unearths a worrying trend.
Replacing the Portuguese with Rafael Benitez was considered ill fated from the outset due to the stubborn, abrasive nature of the former Anfield boss and his ego was always likely to prevent him merely allowing the treble winning side continue playing the same way they did under the Special One.
Last month I wrote that the Spaniards arrival was like pouring diesel into a petrol engine as his tactical changes had handicapped a team that played almost perfectly last season. Moving the defence so high up the pitch, in a move made seemingly for no other reason than to be different to Mourinho, was proof enough that his appointment was a mistake.
Since then however things have gone from bad to worse, with losses to Tottenham, Milan, Chievo and Lazio. Perhaps more than the defeats is the manner in which they were suffered. Benitez holds a lofty reputation as a master tactician, a belief born perhaps in Istanbul when his Liverpool team came from behind to defeat Milan on penalties. Given recent events however, the reason for that turnaround seems more and more to be the result of a Milan collapse than any Rafa-inspired changes. While his lack of man-management skills and motivational skills is widely accepted, since moving to Italy his supposed gift for tactical intelligence is being exposed almost every week.
Putting aside the Chievo loss, which was simply a flat, uninspired and ultimately disappointing performance, it is quite easy to make a case that the other three defeats have been a direct result of Benitez being out-thought and out-coached by his opposite number.
That one of those losses was to the self-professed hater of tactics Harry Redknapp is especially ironic. Gareth Bale was outstanding, but the failure of Benitez to cultivate a plan to stop the Welshman smacks of poor planning. His supposed attention-to-detail approach surely would have noticed a man who tore into his aging defence in the first tie between the teams, given that it was at San Siro less than two weeks before.
As the ever-brilliant ZonalMarking.net highlighted in reviewing that game under Mourinho, Javier Zanetti would have covered across and back, allowing Maicon to play his normal attacking game. But of course aping his predecessor is something he simply will not do, even when it is the most obvious solution to his problems.
Next came the Milan derby, where Inter's performance was neatly summarized by their President Massimo Moratti; "It doesn't seem like we suffered against Milan's play. The problem was that we actually didn't play, a different thing entirely and much more grave." Inter played a 4-3-1-2 formation, mirroring Milan and forgoing width in order to compete in the central areas where the Rossoneri are strongest.
In this system, the fullbacks are clearly vital, being that they are the only wide players, putting the onus on them to get forward as often as possible. So whom did Benitez select for these two roles in such an important game? Two central defenders of course, 34 year old Ivan Cordoba and Cristian Chivu (30). Milan went down to ten men with over 30 minutes remaining and still he could not provide a system to overcome their neighbours. Milan chose to drop Andrea Pirlo and play a different style which Benitez never countered, and the main concern over their new coach, Massimiliano Allegri, was his lack of tactical intelligence and experience.
Then on Friday came the latest defeat at the hands of Lazio, whose main weapon was the deployment of Mauro Zarate high up the pitch against Inter youngster Felice Natalino. It took until going 0-2 behind for Benitez to switch his fullbacks over, a move countered by Lazio swapping flanks with their wingers. No shielding of his youth team player, no doubling up on the impressive Zarate and a completely unbalanced system once again showed the Inter boss lacking as his opposite number Edy Reja on the Lazio bench totally controlled the game.
Soon they head to Abu Dhabi for the Club World Cup, a competition that perhaps will decide the fate of the coach. Win and he may last the winter, lose and a new man may be in place to eat the Nerazzurri panettone this Christmas. Whatever happens in the Gulf state, the gaping chasm between the reputation and reality of Rafael Benitez has been well and truly exposed by the unforgiving Italian league.

From industry...
National Instruments has been collaborating with RMIT since opening our Vietnam office in 2011. We hire interns and full-time employees from RMIT. They're technically capable, highly motivated and good in English. In the Robotics and Mechatronics program, students are taught LabVIEW – a popular and powerful piece of software. We help these students get certified in LabVIEW with our internationally recognised certification program. This increases their technical competency. We also joined RMIT's Industry Advisory Board. We work with other industrial partners to shape the latest curriculum.
Pham Quoc Hung - Sales Manager for Vietnam, National Instruments
From a current student...
I transferred to RMIT after completing a two-year engineering program in the US. I visited many universities in the US to learn more about their programs. I've made a great decision to come to RMIT to study. RMIT has many advantages over even the best universities in the US. The facilities here are state of the art and the lecturers are highly qualified. The industry connections are unlike any school I've seen. At other international universities, usually only the top students can do internships. But, at RMIT, everyone has the chance to get to know industry partners.
Tran Quang Loc - Current student
From a lecturer...
Robotics used to be something of the future, but it's already our present. This program allows you to learn engineering from various viewpoints, including mechanical motion of robots, electrical power to make these motions possible and control systems to design smooth and useful motion. It has amazing courses about integration of the new manufacturing systems into existing factories and about developing entrepreneurial ideas from 'suggestion' to 'new factory' layout. You will stay in touch with the latest equipment.

Nowadays, there is a recharged awareness, interest, and knowledge about hair care among people all around the world, especially in India. Indeed, even men are now giving careful consideration to their hair issues.
Baldness and hair thinning are basic issue today. Transplant surgical procedure is positively one of the most reliable and most well-known treatments connected to resolve the issues like baldness and thinning.
Are you stuck in an unfortunate situation just like many other people who suffer from baldness?
If yes, then you may likewise trust that transplant surgery is the best answer for you. In any case, there are many factors to think about before you go for a transplant, such as:
- You must know that what is the exact reason or cause behind your balding?
- Search, research, and gather more information about the treatments you have received on your hair and scalp, up until now.
- Find out if you're a right candidate for transplant surgery. The best method to do is by consulting the top transplant surgeons in your city.
- Apart from that, figure out if you're sufficiently fit to take care of the expenses and the cost of this treatment.
First of all, you have to decide the cause or exact reason for your loss of hair. For permanent baldness because of hereditary factors, transplantation surgery is the best choice to go for. In any case, at that point, the second problem that must consider is the cost of this surgical procedure.
Despite the fact that, it can acquire a noteworthy change in your identity and way of life, most of the people still fail to afford the cost of it because they don't figure out the complete expenses of this procedure. So, it's all about knowing, and then taking the appropriate step.
In western nations, like the UK, USA, and Europe, or Gulf nations like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Muscat the cost of a transplant are in thousands of dollars. However, cost of hair transplant in India is quite low and the facilities are of high standards.
There is a wide assortment in the cost as it depends particularly on the treatment process or sessions. For a few people, the procedure requests only a couple of sessions, whereas for some people, it requires more sessions or more grafts and needed to be implanted in the balding area.
Alongside the fundamental treatment there are a few other extra expenses to consider. For example, costs for anaesthesia, additional medicine like pain relief drugs, blood tests and other related charges. Including every one of these costs, you can easily discover the reason why hair transplant costs are so high.
However, because of the difference in the currency value, the same treatment becomes much cheaper in India. You can easily find some top hair transplant surgeons in India, which can offer permanent solutions for your baldness problem.

Speaking of Alex Burrows' goal 11 seconds into overtime in Game 2 Saturday . . . That number surely rang a bell with New York-area hockey fans of a certain age.
Thirty-six years later, the shock has not worn off – not if you are a fan of the Rangers or Islanders old enough to recall April 11, 1975, when J.P. Parise's overtime goal won a first-round playoff series for the Isles and altered the course of local hockey history.
Now, those of us who saw it live can relive it, and the rest of you can see it, too. During its recent move across the street from the Garden, MSG uncovered an ancient two-inch tape that included video of the goal.
It will show it on "MSG Vault'' Monday night as part of an episode entitled "Birth of the Islanders.''
Parise's goal is what most people remember from that night, but in fact it was a hugely entertaining game all-around, featuring a dramatic third-period comeback by the Rangers to tie it.
It remains the second most exciting hockey game I have seen on television, behind only Game 7 of the 1994 Rangers-Devils conference final.

BP Seafood Settlement Capped
BP Seafood Settlement Concerns
Perhaps the biggest concern we have after reading the BP Settlement is that the Seafood harvesters, people that directly make a living from the Gulf have a cap of 2.3 billion dollars when it comes to their BP Settlement.
That means that only 2,300 individuals or businesses can receive 1 million dollars. It is our belief that if any category needed to be uncapped it is this category, and BP knows that. There is growing concern for the Health of the Gulf and studies are coming out that echo that belief. See Here.
BP Seafood Settlement Multipliers
The multipliers for the people in the BP Seafood Settlement are generous, they range from 3.25-8.75, that means the payouts for the people in this industry are going to be HUGE. However if there is only 2.3 Billion dollars in the BP Settlement to pay these claims, that money is going to go fast, real fast. If you have a BP Seafood Settlement Claim it is suggested that you get your claim prepared immediately.
BP Seafood Settlement Documentation
There are various ways to prove your losses, we all know that the Seafood Business is a cash business for many people. It would be wonderful if everyone had w-2`s and bank statements and p and l`s, but that is just not the case. Trip tickets and receipts from processors do help. There are ways to recreate your records.
We have people that will help you, if you need it in this area. The important part here is to establish a loss in 2010 after the spill for 3 consecutive months, for many of you that is not hard. For some of you it is impossible as you were told to harvest as many oysters for example as you could before the oil got there. We are working through those issues.
BP Seafood Settlement Decisions
As we are going through the BP Claims Settlement, it is becoming apparent that it is more complex then what we were told it would be. Many of you will have multiple claims, and the calculations are not as simple as they were originally layed out.
There are some simple base line calculations such as putting 3 consecutive months together after the spill and then comparing them to previous years,but this is just one aspect of the calculation and does not include future trending or other multipliers that will apply. There are remedies if you don`t meet certain criteria.
Due to the nature of the BP Seafood Settlement process, we recommend that you engage with licensed Claims Adjusters that have represented claims of this nature for years and if you are dealing with consultants they at least have these relationships in place.
Attorneys are also an option and should be considered, the playing field for the BP Seafood Settlement has certainly shifted, we saw this coming, and have all of the above mentioned relationships in place for you.
How much does it cost to get Help with your BP Seafood Settlement Claims.
Our Adjusters typically charge 15% for documenting and preparing the claims, for large loss claims it maybe as little as 7.5%.
The key here is to have your documentation organized meticulously and being sure that all other areas for potential claim revenues have been explored, I can not stress to you enough the high likelihood of having MULTIPLE CLAIMS, if Attorneys are needed they will be brought in to help with your BP Settlement Claims.
One last thing here, the BP Settlement looks good overall, with one exception the BP Seafood Settlement was capped, if you are in that category you NEED to Act Now.
We will help you with your BP Seafood Settlement.

To give you some idea of my work travel the last few weeks, I finished the 37 hour audiobook of The Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of Life (don't worry, it's only 832 pages of paperback). Well read audiobook (I listen to a lot – best audiobooks were Harry Potter; the Gunslinger Series was pretty good too, though those books at the end of the day left some to be desired, but I digress).
I've been a weak Warren Buffett fan for awhile, and we even own about $1,000 worth of BRK (Bershire Hathaway) stock (under our SEQUX holdings – which was incidentally one of the few funds Buffett recommended his original investment group purchase once he dissolved it in 1970). So a very, very small percentage of our portfolio is tied up in the Oracle of Omaha's holding company, now valued (as of June 5, 2014) at $192,100 per share. This book shed a LOT of light on the history of Buffett, his personal life, and some of the intricacy of his business dealings. For a brief rundown for you non-readers, you should check out Warren Buffett: Bloomberg Gamechangers on Netflix.
The dude always, ALWAYS, had money on the mind, since he was a small kid. I believe he has a genius level IQ and likely has a photographic memory – though it didn't explicitly state it in the book. Dude is a wiz with numbers and memory of those numbers, and sounds like he works harder than almost anyone in the industry. In his early years, if the book is accurate, he was a machine.
As a kid, he had side hustles all over the place, from pinball machines to golf ball resales and affiliate programs. His paper route gave him money to start investing at a young age, and he was giving stock advice to his teachers. While he found himself under investigation a few times, I believe his ethics and morals were usually solid and it was more unraveling his complicated (and one of a kind) investment approaches that led to his issues. He was a very shrewd businessman who would grind down the opposition until it was a price he was happy to finally buy.
Multiple times, the book mentioned he would rather "buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price." While he was very successful in investing (against the odds), he recognized most of us would be better with lower fees – and that investment brokers were at odds with their clients since they got paid no matter what (from basic management fees) and even got paid by the back-and-forth of the transactions as well so had incentives to promote the next hot stock.
The dude also had a very nontraditional marriage, bordering on polygamy, which I didn't know before. He was married for his wife for 52 years, but for many of those years Warren lived in Omaha while Susie (his wife) lived in San Francisco. Warren had a live-in girlfriend (and friend of Susie's) for many of those years, and it was implied that Susie had the same situation with one or more men. For his most of his life, Warren was so busy making money, that he didn't have time for his wife or kids (even when younger) – priorities people, keep this in mind. He stayed married, and his wife was his key social person in all those many social and media events, and she was a billionaire in her own right owning a bunch of BRK stock. With her direction (he was a frugal man, even as m/billionaire, left to his own devices) Warren and her became very, very large philanthropists (pledging many of his billion$ to Bill and Melinda Gates foundation). A couple years after his wife died, he married his girlfriend Astrid in a small family ceremony.
He rubbed elbows, and is good friends, with many famous and good people. Bono was friends with his wife and played at her funeral. Bill and Melinda Gates are his close and personal friends (and Bridge partners). He probably personally knows a good many of the Fortune 500 CEOs.
His investment philosophy was to stick with what he knew, and stay away from what he didn't. This has resulted in him missing some tech booms, but also missing some tech busts. He also divested himself from the derivatives market in one of his insurance companies prior to the full collapse in 2008, likely limiting his losses. He derided the derivatives market in general (the leveraged packages) and saw the housing bubble awhile before it popped.
The book was very, very detailed – so much so I would guess 20-25% could have been cut. But very interesting at the same time. I liked his childhood stories and some of the outlines of the business deals good and bad. It led a lot more background to the annual reports to shareholders (check them out, very, very good stuff here… and free – direct link to BRK's website) he puts out each year. (linkable book version below)
After learning much more about the guy, I like him even more. I'm guessing despite the fundamental holdings BRK holds, it will sag hard after he finally dies as he's like the patriarchal grandfather who everyone looks up to and unspokenly holds the family together. He lives on hamburgers and coke (and no veggies) – so not exactly a Paleo diet – and he's already had some of his colon removed.
He is conservative financially, avoiding risky investments and NEEDING to understand the basics of the business before purchasing (though still didn't prevent dogs), thus no tech stocks and he actually talked (talks) against them. He avoided debt. He is/was frugal and liked value since he was a young man trying to build his fortune to a billionaire. He valued friendships more than money, though money is what drives him.
He's an interesting dude, who would rather live in his original Omaha house than buy or visit vacation homes or safaris. One day, this touchstone on American investing will pass on, and will give partial control (nonexecutive chairman – basically a veto power over the non-named future CEO) over to his son "Howie" – a farmer, businessman, and philanthropist that lives in Decatur, IL (a city, I'm unfortunately, very familiar with). He wouldn't be my first choice, but as a buffet masthead, he's probably fine for keeping the CEO in line with is dad's wishes.
Anyway, if you get a chance, learn more about the Oracle of Omaha. You likely will never see another $192,000 per share stock again after he passes. And take with you his lessons in patience, risk management, and frugality.

Carbon black (subtypes are acetylene black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black and thermal black) is a material produced by the incomplete combustion of heavy petroleum products such as FCC tar, coal tar, ethylene cracking tar, and a small amount from vegetable oil. Carbon black is a form of paracrystalline carbon that has a high surface-area-to-volume ratio, albeit lower than that of activated carbon. It is dissimilar to soot in its much higher surface-area-to-volume ratio and significantly lower (negligible and non-bioavailable) PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) content.
However, carbon black is widely used as a model compound for diesel soot for diesel oxidation experiments.[1] Carbon black is mainly used as a reinforcing filler in tires and other rubber products. In plastics, paints, and inks carbon black is used as a color pigment. The current International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) evaluation is that, "Carbon black is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B)". Short-term exposure to high concentrations of carbon black dust may produce discomfort to the upper respiratory tract, through mechanical irritation.

NFL Thanksgiving Games 2017: A Football Feast!
What's Thanksgiving Day without football? Feast on NFL games all day long, beginning with an NFC North rivalry game on Fox as the first-place Minnesota Vikings (8-2) visit the second-place Detroit Lions (6-4) at Ford Field. Then on CBS, the 4-6 Los Angeles Chargers head to AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, for a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys (5-5). The nightcap on NBC looked a lot better at the start of the season, as the last-place New York Giants (2-8) are at the Washington Redskins (4-6) at FedExField in Landover, Md., in a lackluster NFC East game.

Chapter Four - Part 1
Mafia II Walkthrough - Chapter Four - Murphy's Law - Chapter Four - Part 1
Chapter Four: Murphy's Law (February 11, 1945 in Empire Bay, USA)[edit]
This chapter starts out innocuously enough. Vito will wake up in Joe's apartment, stretch, take a swig of beer, and ultimately find a note that Joe left him. The note reads simply; meet Joe and Henry over at Freddy's restaurant and bar, where you'll be given another task to undertake. This shouldn't fill you with too much concern. The note does have a caveat however, that you should bring with you a pistol and some lockpicks. Hit up the bureau to find your usual attire -- a leather jacket and some jeans -- and then walk on out to your car. Your sidearm and lockpicks will be brought along automatically. Drive the short distance to Freddy's, and we'll continue the early-going of this chapter from there.
Once you've arrived at Freddy's, walk up to the second floor, where you'll find Joe and Henry sitting in a booth. After receiving a razzing for getting up so late, the three men quickly get down to business. Henry is a little reluctant to tell you just what the job is... that is until another man quickly comes over to the table and tells Henry to take care of business for him. That's when you're brought into the loop. Basically, there's a store in one of the malls in town. You and Joe are going to rob it. You have to wait until nightfall, where you can get into the guard-less mall (by picking a lock), and then go about things from there. Joe has acquired some orange jumpsuits from the phone company, so you have some plausible excuse as to why you're inside the mall, should you get caught at all.
When you regain control following the cutscene, work your way out of the restaurant and out to your car. Let Joe get into the passenger seat, and then take off to your destination. As always, the GPS directions on your HUD will provide you with the quickest route to the mall you're about to rob. Another reminder -- the roads are still icy and snowy, so don't drive too quickly or too out of control, or you may crash. You may also want to keep your car's governor enabled, since you don't exactly want to attract any unwanted police attention as you go about your business.
When you've arrived at your destination, get out of your car and run over to the glowing entrance of the jewelry store next to the mall. You'll have to use your lockpicks to break in, but that shouldn't be a big deal to you, even at this fairly early point in the game. Once you're inside, you'll witness another cutscene, this one a little stranger than you might have expected it to be. As Joe and Vito rob the jewelry store stealthily, a car smashes through the front window, and subsequently deposits some Irish thugs to rob the jewelry store. This is purely a coincidence -- and a rather astronomical one at that -- but it matters not. The Irish not only want the jewelry you've already jacked, but they've also blown-up your position. The cops are en route, and there's nothing left for you to do but to scurry away and hope for the best.

Our team may be small but we are dedicated and ready to make this museum happen!
ROBERT MCDADE is a lifelong mineral collector and engineer by training. As President of Natural Selections, he sells Alligator-related souvenirs to retail shops across the country.
Robert's collection started with alligator fossils and large taxidermy gators, but gradually, he noticed that the alligator as a motif is found in many other parts of American life. Fossils and taxidermy gave way to a collection including vintage leather, postcards, ordinary household items designed with alligators in mind, movies, and many other aspects of American life.
PRESCOTT TRUDEAU is a filmmaker, curator, and exhibition designer with experience in both the museum and gallery fields. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Prescott was the Senior Curator at Children's Museum of the Arts (CMA) in Manhattan prior to relocating to New Orleans. He has curated and managed project grants for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) as well as the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and The Keith Haring Foundation.
In addition to the Great American Alligator Museum, Prescott curates and designs for The Southern Food and Beverage Museum and The Old Arabi Sugar Museum. His exhibitions have been covered by The New York Times, Vice Magazine, DNA Info, ArtInfo, ArtLog and NOLA Defender.
NICK MAHSHIE, a native of Miami, Fla., holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from the the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD). His fascination with Latin American art and culture led him to Buenos Aires, Argentina where he became a fixture of the underground music and arts scene with performances, painted costumes and public installations featuring his alterego "Tranqui Yanqui." In the South American capital he also collaborated with museums, designers, art galleries and music venues. His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Buenos Aires Herald, Clarin and La Nacion newspapers.
As an educator, Mahshie has conducted workshops with youth in Buenos Aires, Paris, and New York City. In New Orleans, he is also an Artist in Residence with Young Audiences, which brings arts learning to underserved schools across Louisiana. Mahshie's work has been exhibited at the Children's Museum of the Arts (New York City), Hasbro Children's Hospital (Providence, R.I.), Fundacion Telefonica (Buenos Aires) and at Le Petit Bain, a floating Arts Venue on the Seine River (Paris).

National Walk for Epilepsy
Dorothy Gale! This morning when I woke up in my own bed, I finally had an explanation to my recent eight day odyssey. I had survived three (?) Emerald Cities in eight days. I photographed two epilepsy awareness walks (Here are photos from yesterday's National Walk for Epilepsy). My adventure included lions and super shuttles and service dogs. On Friday night, there was a tornado warning in Washington, D.C. Two nights earlier, the storm nearly trapped me in Chicago.
My blind faith was tested often the last eight days. When I photographed the Epilepsy Foundation of San Diego County fundraiser, I felt disoriented. I was in the valley of the blind… and I was not the person who had one eye. I needed a service dog just as much as anyone else.
On Wednesday, I left Oakland for Washington. Because of the Midwest storm, I barely made my connecting flight.… Read the rest

The 2017 Canada Summer Games are being held in Manitoba. The Games, without a doubt, are an exciting time for the athletes. Names like Crosby, Stamkos, and Klassen are just a few of those who have participated in past years.
The excitement is high for athletes as they get to represent their province or region on one of the biggest stages available.
The excitement is just as high for the people working with the athletes and behind the scenes. Two of whom, Barry Moroz and Marcie Halls Stronciski, have stepped into new roles for the 2017 Canada Summer Games.
"Athlete development is first and foremost," says Moroz, Chef de Mission for Team Manitoba, "but if you ask anybody who has participated in the Canada Games, could be a volunteer or an organizer, they will tell you that from a sport or personal perspective, there is no experience like the Canada Games."
For 20 years Moroz has been a part of the Canada Games in various capacities, none of which as an athlete. In his time, he has worked 11 Canada Games and six Western Canada Games.
This year is even more exciting since they're taking place in Manitoba. It's only the third time in the 50 year history of the Games that they are being played here because of the rotation the Games go on across all provinces and territories.
"It's always nice to travel and see other parts of the country," says Moroz, "but by the same token I think there's something to be said about home field advantage."
Marcie Halls Stronciski, Assistant Chef De Mission for Team Manitoba, has a bit of a different reason why Manitoba hosting the Games is such an exciting time.
"Just having my family around and allowing them to see the games experience," says Halls Stronciski, "I talk to them and tell them what it's all about, but they'll actually get to feel the buzz."
The 'buzz' is what Halls Stronciski loves most about the Games. She says that it's really just amazing to see how excited everyone is throughout the community when the Games are on.
Expectations are very high for Team Manitoba heading into the Canada Games on home turf.
"We have a lot of recent success that we can build on, we've set our expectations and in some cases we've exceeded them," says Moroz, "competing at home will give us even more to build on that momentum. I don't think it's unrealistic to expect that we can win a record number of medals."
Regardless of how the standings end up though, the Games will be a great time for Manitoba. The buzz that is brought about from the athletes, volunteers, and staff will generate a great feeling of community and achievement across the province.
Buzz and athletics aside, Moroz is looking forward to one major thing.
"Just the celebration. The celebration of youth, the celebration of sport, the celebration of community, the celebration of our country."
The 2017 Canada Games are taking place July 28 – August 13, 2017, and are sure to make for the Hottest Summer in Half a Century...read more about the Games

SXSW 2014 Millennials As Supervisors: Strategies for Success/

What are your best tips or lessons learned from being a millennial supervisor or from supervising millennials? Leave a note for us in the comments.
Millennials As Supervisors: Strategies for Success
The Millennial generation, born between 1980-2000, is moving into manager and leadership positions rapidly with a desire to excel. They have a workplace style that is vastly different than their predecessors. Raised in a praise-based culture, college-bound since kindergarten, Millennials have been protected from failure by over-engaged parents. They have not bought into 'climbing the corporate ladder and paying their dues' and instead value equality over hierarchy. Millennials seek flexible schedules as well as time for personal pursuits yet they expect to make an impact immediately. They are comfortable challenging authority and the status quo and bring these values into leadership and management roles. They perform best when using their strengths; learn how focusing on strengths makes transitions into leadership and supervisory roles more successful. Understand what types of training and mentorship this generation of leaders needs to be more productive and engaged in their work.

Client Project: Living Room Design Board
A few months ago, I started a new project with a client. Their living room had been several things from a playroom to a catch-all for leftover furniture. Now that their kids are getting older, my clients wanted a room that was for them...the grownups!
They wanted something light and fresh with a few reading chairs. After our initial meeting, I put together a design board for them.
The upholstered chairs were special order. They were delivered a few weeks ago, so today I was able to put the room together this week!
I'm still sorting through my pictures. But hope to share a few snapshots from the room in the next few days.
Come back to check out some great before and after pictures!

Ellen DeGeneres and Wife Recreate 'Bound 2′
The 'Bound 2' spoofs continue. First actors James Franco and Seth Rogen, and now Ellen DeGeneres recreates her version of Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's famous video.
The talk show queen and her wife Portia de Rossi used the visual to inspire this year's holiday card. Ellen plays 'Ye on the motorcycle while Portia rides along as "Kim." "Bound for a Merry Christmas. Love Ellen & Portia," the card reads. "It's only funny if you've seen the video," Ellen laughed.
It's a fitting homage. Kanye premiered 'Bound 2' recently on Ellen's show.
