- Page 1 Motorola H780 Bluetooth Headset Review
- Page 2 Motorola H780 Review
- Page 3 Motorola H780 Review
The H780 uses Motorola's latest CrystalTalk technology. This employs a combination of dual microphones (an external one to pick up background noise working alongside the usual one you speak into) plus noise cancelling circuitry to block out unwanted background din. In use it works very well indeed. For example, callers reported that speech was still extremely intelligible and there was relatively little background noise on calls made from a packed Oxford Street in London during the busy Christmas shopping period.
Like Motorola's other recent headset, the H780 is charged via its micro USB port. With micro USB becoming increasingly standard for smartphones and even more normal mobiles, it means that it's going to reduce the likelihood that you'll have to carry two chargers with you in future. That said, Motorola does provide both a mains charger and a neat looking (and quite weighty) desktop charging dock in the box. It takes about two hours to charge the headset fully and once charged you'll get around seven hours of talk time out of it. As most headsets struggle to make it to the five hour mark in terms of talk time that's pretty impressive.
As with most of the headsets on the market now the H780 doesn't have a dedicated battery indicator. However, you can get a rough gauge of how much talk time is left by pressing and holding down both sides of the volume rockers switch. This causes the headset's LED to light up with one of three colours to indicate the battery level. Green means you have four and a half or more hours left of talk time; yellow means you have between four and a half and two hours; while red means you have less than two hours left. The headset also switches colours as it's being charged to indicate how much juice is in the battery – a simple, but welcome feature.
The H870 is one of the best headsets around at the moment. It manages to match good looks with great performance. Both call quality and battery life are top-notch and it's comfortable to wear even for long periods. If you're in the market for a Bluetooth headset then it definitely should be on your list of top models to check out.

Watch Common sit down with Jeff Staple and give fans a history lesson on some of his classic records.
Coming fresh off the release of his new album, Nobody's Smiling, Common is doing his usual promo runs and making his rounds with various publications. While out in NYC, Com Sense sat down for a "1-2-1″ conversation with fashion designer Jeff Staple and the two looked back on a few classic records Common recorded as a youngin' (like "I Used to Love H.E.R." and "It's Your World.").
Common also talked about how the violence in Chicago inspired his new album, and how working with Kanye West made him a better artist.
Watch the interview above, and if you haven't copped his new album Nobody's Smiling yet, then do so here.

What happens when you combine the ridiculously long lines for the Cronut with the equally ridiculously long lines for Shake Shack?
For one day only, the inventor of the Cronut teamed up with Shake Shack to sell a "Cronut Hole Concrete," with proceeds going to the New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association Widows and Children's Fund and the Madison Square Park Conservancy.
The treats combine Shake Shack's handmade frozen custard ice cream with Ansel's fluffy pastries. With only 1,000 Cronut Hole Concretes available, people lined up as early as 4 am this morning to ensure they would get their hands on this once-in-a-lifetime delicacy.
Here's what the Cronut Holes look like:
And here's the Cronut Hole Concrete, complete with custard:

Director of Instruction
John Jacobs Golf Schools and Academies Estrella del Mar Golf and Beach Resort
Mazatlan, Sinaloa, Mexico, AZ
The PGA LatinoAmerica Tour is holding a qualifying tournament here at Estrella del Mar in Mazatlan this week. The age of these players is between about 20 and 35. I walked around with a couple of my members I've been working with so they could see first hand how the real players do it.
I hoped watching these kids "up close" would help my students, but the impact was much more than I expected. The first comment from them was, "Wow, I can really see how they start the downswing with the lower body."
I ask my students how hard are these players swinging? They gave me the correct response, "They aren't swinging hard, they're just swinging fast". Good answer!!
It was a very educational day watching these fine young players. My students not only got to see some excellent play but they were able to see how the same things they are working on were being used by these professionals.
When we were finished, my students asked if I would go to the practice tee with them because they just had to hit some balls after watching all the good swings. I couldn't believe what I saw! My 12 - 15 handicappers almost looked like they were ready for the Tour Qualifying!
Suddenly, they had patience, allowing the lower body to start the downswing. They were letting the upper body follow the lower body on the downswing, rather than attacking the ball with their hands and arms. I couldn't believe what I was seeing!
I know most people learn visually, but this really drove home the point. Four or five hours watching good swings and suddenly my guys are swinging better than I have ever seen before.
This was not the first time I have seen this happen. In fact, almost every time one of the Tours come to town some of my members start playing the best golf of their life.
So, if you ever have a chance to go to a professional event jump at the opportunity! You just don't have the same visual learning experience watching it on TV. Watch the players on the driving range – even though their swings look the same as on TV, they look different – you see them so much more clearly in person.
And, if you are fortunate enough to see a Tour qualifying event you will not only see some great golf, but you be able to see some of the nicest, most polite, appreciative, and gracious young people you could ever meet. Many of these youngsters will be the ones we're watching on TV for years to come.

"In the Hour of Arab Revolution" Tricontinental and the Question of Palestine
George, Nate
1st prize winner of the Friends of Fondren Library Graduate Research Awards, 2015
This essay seeks to challenge the absence of the Arab world within the emerging literature on "the Global Cold War," which considers the Arab-Israeli conflict and thus Arab history to be driven by exceptional circumstances. In order to demonstrate the connections between Arab politics and other decolonizing contexts, I look at the ideological work undertaken to forge the Palestinian cause into a Third World principle outside of the Arab world. This paper examines the coverage of the question of Palestine in the Cuban revolutionary journal Tricontinental between the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973. While the June 1967 war is traditionally understood as merely an Arab defeat, I show that many anticolonial and leftist revolutionaries around the world understood the June 1967 war as a reverse for the Third World project as a whole. The conflict was portrayed as an important scene in a global struggle between Western capitalist imperialism and colonialism, on the one hand, and anticolonial revolutionary nationalism and communism, on the other. Tricontinental recorded the journeys of Cuban journalists to fida'i (guerrilla) training camps in Jordan and Syria, the travels of Palestinians to the revolutionary Caribbean capital, and exposed the material links between counterrevolutionary forces in a number of colonial situations. Tricontinental's coverage consistently transcended ideological platitudes and boilerplate comparisons, though these were indeed also present. Through close readings of selected articles, we can begin to see the potential of using this journal as a major source in the history of transnational circulation of ideas, personalities, and movements during the second half of the twentieth century.

text: TV ITV Profit Triples to $517 Million as Ad Market Recovers 4:46 AM PST 3/2/2011 by Mimi Turner FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME But U.K. broadcaster sees a fall in revenues and profits at ITV Studios. LONDON -- Commercial broadcaster ITV coasted to near-tripled profits of £321 million ($517 million) in 2010 on the wave of a resurgent advertising market and Simon Cowell not feeling like a change -- yet. The network, whose biggest shows include The X-Factor, Britain's Got Talent, and period drama Downton Abbey, said full-year revenues were up 10 percent to £2.06 billion ($3.3 billon), driven by a 16 percent increase in TV revenues. Under chief executive Adam Crozier the broadcaster has seen its share price almost double in the last 12 months, trading up 5 percent at 92 pence ($1.48) per share on the news, after hitting lows of 47 pence (76 cents) in the summer. ITV's biggest problem still remains, however: it doesn't make enough of its best shows. X Factor, Downton and Got Talent are all produced out of house and it means that the network's commercial success is overly reliant on external suppliers. ITV bosses still won't say whether Simon Cowell will continue to front X Factor, its most commercially successful show, when he begins work on the show's U.S. launch on Fox this fall. Company sources maintain only that talks are "ongoing." If Cowell quits -- and as is rumored, takes fellow judge Cheryl Cole to work on the Fox show -- ITV's all-important fall schedule would be very exposed. Meanwhile, chief executive Crozier acknowledged the weakness in ITV's production capacity -- which was underlined by a fall in revenues and profits over the past year at ITV Studios, its production factory. The division's profit was down 12% to £81 million ($132 million), which ITV said was due to lower international production revenue. Since coming in a year ago Crozier has entirely overhauled ITV Studios' management team, bringing in Kevin Lygo to oversee production, and the CEO said the "creative renewal" process was still ongoing. "We're still in the first phase of our transformation and making good progress, with a real momentum for change being built up within ITV," said Crozier. "We have a new, talented top team in place and around a third of the wider leadership team has changed over the last few months. The organization is becoming leaner and a further £15 million ($24.4 million) of overhead and cost reduction is expected to be delivered this year."

Acharacle Primary School / Argyll, Scotland / Gaia Architects / Completion date May 2009 / Predicted annual CO2emissions 8.2kg/m²
This school for up to 80 students was almost entirely imported from Austria. A massive timber Brettstapel structure is fixed by glue-free, wooden dowels, insulated with woodfibre and clad in European larch. It has a U-value of 0.128W/m²K for walls and roof and 0.098W/m²K for floors. Triple-glazed windows are used throughout.
An impressive air permeability index of 0.27m³ per hour per square metre at a pressure of 50 pascals - perhaps the lowest to date in the UK - was achieved with the first test. With such airtight construction, specification of non-toxic materials was a high priority: clay plaster interior walls with natural paints, linoleum and solid Scottish oak floors. At Gaia's insistence, furniture manufacturer Future Furniture redesigned its range to minimise off-gassing. Classrooms have individual monitors for CO2 levels. All rooms are naturally ventilated except the kitchen, WCs and the plant room.
External motorised blinds, located behind the cladding, are controlled by sun and wind sensors. They retract to prevent damage in high-speed winds.
A 6kW wind turbine sits on a 9m mast on a hill behind the school. Wind was selected over biomass because of its longterm sustainability.

Dunstan Tap & Table restaurant, the first substantial commercial development at Scarborough's Dunstan Crossing residential and commercial development, is under construction and should open in the spring, according to Michael Jacobson, principal and broker with King Real Estate in Falmouth.
The 90-seat restaurant, located at 1000 Portland Road (U.S. Route 1), will feature American pub fare. It's owned by Brian and Jen Brenerman, who also own Shays Grill Pub in Monument Square in Portland.
The Dunstan Crossing development by developer Elliot Chamberlain has 300 units, including single-family homes, condominiums and apartments, and is off U.S. Route 1 on Broadturn Road, the west side of Route 1's intersection with Route 9 (Pine Point Road).
The restaurant is part of the final, commercial, phase of the development called The Village at Dunstan Crossing. It's in a 3,500-square-foot freestanding building designed for the tenant.
"We had been looking for the right place to build our second restaurant in Scarborough for years, seeing the demand and population were there," Jen Brenerman said Tuesday. "We love having a regular clientele where we are able to establish relationships and welcome feedback, and being this close to a residential community was just the icing on the cake."
She said that Shays has had a regular following since Brian bought in in 2006, and "we feel that is a very important indicator of consistency and success."
She said working with Chamberlain and his development crew, as well as interior designer Tyler Karu and designer Nat Towl have been the experience fun and seamless.
Jacobson, who represented the Brenermans, said that what makes it an "exciting venture," is the accessibility of the Dunstan Crossing neighborhood off Broadturn Road.
He said the development still has commercial opportunities for office and retail, including an opportunity for an establishment with a drive-thru.

Writing a Stellar Call Note
If you have been a regular visitor to PharmBoard.com you have read a lot about networking and the importance of follow-up when it comes to your job search. Strong follow-up is essential when you are interviewing and meeting people within the industry. But what about those of you who are already pharma sales reps? Follow-up applies to you, too.
Think about someone you know who is excellent at remembering details about the people he meets. The guy who remembers birthdays, kids' names and other facts that make the person with whom he is speaking feel comfortable and valued. Chances are this person is either a successful politician or one of the top sales reps at your pharmaceutical company. Why? Because he can recall information about the people with whom he interacts. Information about such things as what was discussed at a past meeting, people in their mutual network and personal facts.
Now, this person may have a photographic memory, but more than likely he is great at taking call notes. Call notes are details of a sales call. They can also pertain to a networking meeting or encounter. Good call notes will provide information that you can use to follow-up with someone regarding product information or a possible pharmaceutical representative opening.
Not everyone has the skill to think on their feet during interviews or sales calls and by taking thorough call notes, you can review them while doing your pre-call planning or developing your strategy for networking within the pharmaceutical industry. By taking the guess work out of your follow-up you will appear more knowledgeable and focused on the needs of your customer or network contact. Additionally, call notes make great tools for writing sales letters and follow-up notes.
By having all the information from your meeting you can also ensure that you deliver on a promise you made or remind yourself who may owe you an actionable item relative to your job search. Let's look at the elements of all good call notes:
- First, you should have an organizer or notebook where you write ALL your notes. Someplace where everything can stay together. This eliminates the chance of several bits of paper floating about and getting lost. You should have this anyway if you are looking for a position as a pharma sales rep.
- Next, good call notes should include:
- Date, place and time of your meeting.
- Who was in attendance, that person's title and organization.
- Topics discussed and any people mentioned with whom you may wish to follow-up.
- Actionable items promised by you and to you and due dates. These would include any interviews.
- Also try to summarize your notes with a headline for quick and easy reference. Something like: Pharmaceutical Job Fair Discussion with Pfizer or First Sales Call to Dr. Conway Re: Lipitor®.
- Finally, every good call note must note Action, Response and Next Steps. This means that you list what action was taken (interview, sales call, ride-along), what response was there (call for 2nd interview, request for more info) and the next steps you need to take (schedule another meeting, call the physician, meet with HR). At the very least your call notes should have those details: Action, Response and Next Steps.
Be sure to click 'discuss this article' below to go to the PharmBoard.com Messageboards and get critiques on your call notes.
If you find this site helpful, please send a link to your career services department so your fellow alumni know about PharmBoard too! I've already written the message for you. :)

Union Jacked Up/
This week's outfit post is in keeping with the boot theme I was discussing last week. It's also a clever way to tie into the latest 52-pick-me-up: United Nations.
Yesterday the oppressive heat we've been experiencing finally broke and it was a grand day to go forth and enjoy the change. I got a much needed haircut and added a touch of fuchsia to my signature purple side streaks. After that it was off to Target to have a peek at the Phillip Lim capsule collection. I almost bought a sweatshirt, but I honestly didn't think it was a great cut for my figure so I passed. I did take a minute to pose with one of the art guitars at Nashville West. These are scattered around the city and I try to include them in my pictures whenever I can because they are fast becoming iconic landmarks.
My outfit is deliberately red, white and blue. The skirt is my Max Studio summer staple white eyelet pencil skirt. The little red cowl-drape top is Cable and Gauge Petite. It's such a lovely top that I invariably forget that it drapes a little too much, invariably causing a "wardrobe malfunction". I'm still stubbornly searching for a way around this little (okay, not so little) problem. In this case the effects are somewhat mitigated by a Baccini denim boyfriend jacket. What can be more American than a denim jacket? As the heat had abated I was thrilled to break out my Union Jack Wanted boots from Shi. I tried on a few hats for good measure as well. I do love a good cloche and am considering securing one for the colder weather ahead.
Also linking up this week with Visible Monday, Show Me Your Style Blog Hop, Hat Attack #3 and Monday Mingle.

A few weeks ago, I discovered a small notebook call the The Adventure Log, and I immediately purchased a set. I kept one notebook for myself and gave the other two away.
The notebook is 48 pages and it's 3.5" x 5.5", which makes it a perfect pocket-sized notebook. Recently, I went on a hike, and I kept the notebook in my vest pocket and took it out frequently to jot down notes on the trail.
I was drawn to the notebook because I've been thinking about the importance of cultivating adventures in my daily life. I love my daily rituals, but I don't want to get stuck in a rigid routine either. If I don't seek out adventures in my daily life, my writing, photography, and overall creativity stagnates.
My intention is to fill my adventure log by the end of summer. I want to be outside more to take photos and to enjoy the weather, especially during May and early June.
I'll share my adventures here and on social media. Logging my adventuring and sharing them online is how I hold myself accountable. If I don't plan adventures or write about them, they don't happen.
With gratitude,
P. S. You can purchase The Adventure Log from Word or Bradley Mountain.

This is a very common question in the Google and Your Business forum – business owners visit Google+ to add their business and find that not only does it already exist but it has also been verified (a little tick by the business logo).
How does this happen?
Usually what's happened is that at some point in the past either an employee or a social media consultant has set up the Google+ Local page, including undertaking the verification process, and then they've left your company. Often it is difficult, if not impossible to get in touch with them, particularly if no-one remembers who might have set the page up in the first place.
Or, they might still work for you but for some reason no longer have access to the Google+ account that owns the page.
Or, perhaps you've bought an established business that has a verified Google+ page that you'd like to keep using, but the previous owner doesn't know how to access the page (probably because of the first reason).
Whatever the reason, it is actually really easy to recover control of a Google+ Local verified page.
The steps you need to take
- Try creating a listing on Google My Business for your business https://www.google.com/local/business/add (with the exact address as on the Google+ page)
- The current business will come up (there may be a list of businesses actually) and you should try to claim it by clicking in the business.
- This claim will fail because it is verified but you'll be given the option to request admin rights which you should do.
- You'll then be asked to complete a form with some details as to why you want access. Make sure you select "I wish to request ownership transfer" during this process.
- Google will send that request to the current listing owner and provide you with a support email explaining what's happened.
- If you don't hear from the current owner in a week then reply to the support email requesting assistance with the transfer of the ownership. It can take a couple of weeks for the transfer request to be actioned but it ultimately it will be.
See I told you it would be simple 🙂

Sprayway Hydrolite 2009
The Sprayway Hydrolite multi-activity jacket two-way stretch fabric; front zip gets double stormflap; map-sized chest pockets; mesh-lined chest pockets for ventilation; excellent removable hood movement and fit. But 544g (men's L) is getting heavy for multi-activity like running or biking; you get higher levels of fabric waterproofness and breathability at higher prices; no reflective material.
Verdict: The Sprayway Hydrolite multi-activity jacket's weight is the main drawback for fast action.

Marrying the glamorous, upmarket reputation of Hilton hotels with the downbeat image of a chain of bookies is not an easy task for a giant corporation.
It is a challenge that betting, gaming and hotels giant Ladbroke Group has been wrestling with since it bought into the Hilton chain 12 years ago.
Increasing activity in the Ladbroke hotel division has prompted observers to question whether the group may be planning to spin off its gaming and betting businesses. Recent activity includes the 1.2bn acquisition of Stakis in January, and a proposed change of name from Ladbroke Group to Hilton Group.
Melanie Sharp, analyst for leisure and hotels at stockbrokers Charterhouse Tilney, says: "In my opinion the name change coupled with management changes, where they have brought more hoteliers into the organisation, suggests that they may spin off the off-track betting and gaming interests. But I think we'd be looking a year down the line."
A spokesman for Ladbroke denies that the name change represents anything more than a switch to a more widely recognised name. He says the Hilton name is more familiar to international investors and realistically reflects the company's business.
"It {the name change} reflects a change in the balance of business. Hotels now represent 80 per cent of group assets and two-thirds of its profit and the board has said that the Hilton name is more appropriate to the whole group."
Ladbroke has also been in talks with its alliance partner Hilton Hotels Corporation (HHC) which owns the Hilton brand in the States (Ladbroke owns the Hilton brand everywhere else in the world). Hilton International and HHC split for financial reasons in the Sixties, and Hilton International changed names a number of times before
Ladbroke bought it. Rumours that the two companies are to merge have been circulating for many months and discussions are continuing.
That Ladbroke is increasing its emphasis and investment in hotels is clear. In January this year, it acquired the Scottish hotel, health club and casino chain Stakis and has recently moved a number of high profile executives into senior positions at Ladbroke.
These include former Stakis chief executive David Michels who became chief executive of Hilton International, Anthony Harris, a former Stakis director who became managing director of Hilton UK and last week Mike Ashton, former marketing director for Stakis, was appointed marketing director for Hilton in the UK (MW April 15).
On an international level the company is developing a mid-market hotel concept called Garden Inn. It is particularly interested in the Latin American and Asian markets to expand this product.
Ladbroke plans to capitalise on a number of trends. World Tourism is expected to grow by three per cent per annum for the next ten years according to the World Travel and Tourism Council.
"Globally there is a frenzy of activity and the hotel sector is considered hot at the moment" says Melvin Gold, director of hotel leisure and tourism services at Pannell Kerr Forster. "Tourism is expanding and the hotel industry is consolidating. There may be a feeling that companies who are not getting involved [in this consolidation activity] are in danger of missing the boat."
By contrast the group's gaming and off-track betting businesses, Ladbrokes, have seen little activity over the past year and are looking jaded.
Last week, the company announced that its pools division Vernons was discontinuing its Easy Play football game. Ladbroke launched the game in 1998, to recoup earnings after the National Lottery launch in 1994.
In July it emerged that Ladbrokes was to abandon spread betting after just 18 months in the business when it sold Ladbroke Sporting Spreads to IG Index.
Ladbroke also suffered a blow to US gaming ambitions when it had to back away from a 50m deal to acquire the card playing Bicycle Club in Los Angeles.
Earlier this year, the group was forced to sell the 827-strong Coral chain of betting shops after concerns from the UK competition authorities. Ladbroke sold the chain to a company backed by Morgan Grenfell Private Equity for 390m, fetching nearly 30m more than it had paid for the group a year previously. For Ladbroke to profit from its gaming business means cutting costs. One recent measure was a computerised point of sale betting system, Betting Shop 2000 (BS2000), which will be installed in betting shops over the next three years.
A spokesman for the group denies that growth is difficult in betting and gaming. "This is just the nature of the gaming industry. The Coral deal was a one-off opportunity and there are other areas where we can make acquisitions – for example in slot machines. There is nothing to stop us buying up smaller [betting shop] operators."
Ladbrokes, like other betting shop chains, hopes to appeal to a broader market. It launched the numbers game "49s" three years ago for a new market of punters created by the National Lottery.
But Charterhouse Tilney's Sharp says: "I do not think that there will be growth in the off-track betting and gaming sector other than through inflation. The only way for them to grow is through acquisition where they have been blocked."
While lack of growth in the gaming sector is the downside for Ladbroke, its ownership of the Hilton brand is a powerful asset. Some speculate that the brand could be applied to related business such as restaurants and health clubs.
"The Hilton equity is unparalleled. There is no other [hotel] group that has the stature and power coupled with its broad international appeal," says Greg Delaney, chairman and creative director of Delaney Fletcher Bozell.
DFB recently produced the advertising campaign for Hilton International with the tagline It Happens at The Hilton. The poster ads featured John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Nelson Mandela, Winston Churchill, Naomi Campbell and American TV presenter Larry King, who all stayed at Hilton hotels.
Whether Ladbroke is happy to let the two contrasting businesses co-exist within its portfolio is debatable. Selling off the betting shop business to a venture capitalist is an attractive prospect for both parties. It gives one a cash rich business and the other a substantial war chest to invest in hotel related acquisitions which will generate shareholder value.
The immediate concern in the UK is the incorporation of the Stakis culture into the parent company. But for now the renamed Ladbroke Group looks poised for radical change.

A friend of mine recently posted a powerful, inspiring video.
(Nothing for sale… Just good 'ol inspiration!)
But before you watch it…
I want to share a powerful, true story. I hope it inspires you, brightens the remainder of your day, then illuminates the rest of your holiday season.
It's the story of a young man, Rick Hoyt, born in 1971. Rick's suffering started at birth. Lack of oxygen left him a spastic quadriplegic with cerebral palsy. Even though his parents were encouraged by experts to institutionalize him, they refused.
Trust me, this story gets better.
Rick couldn't walk or speak, but his eyes would follow them around the room. They knew they were "reaching" him. They were determined he would someday communicate with them. It was years before a group of engineers from Tufts University built a computer that allowed Rick to do just that!
His first words were "Go Bruins" (Boston was in the Stanley Cup that year). This should have given them a clue of the fierce competitive spirit flowing in their child, but nothing could have prepared them for what happened next.
When Rick turned 15 he told his dad, Dick, he wanted to participate in a 5-mile benefit run for a Lacrosse player who had been paralyzed in an accident. Dick, having never attempted anything like that in his life, couldn't find a way to say no, so he simply said ok.
He pushed Rick in his wheelchair, finishing all 5 miles, coming in next to last, which Dick expected. What he wasn't prepared to hear were the words, "Dad, when I'm running, it feels like I'm not handicapped." Is it hard to believe this was all the "leverage" this daring and dedicated dad needed to dig deeper?
Over 1,000 races later, including 85 marathons, duathlons and triathlons (six of them being Ironman competitions), "Team Hoyt," as they are affectionately called by the masses, are still competing and inspiring the world with their tireless courage and undaunted dedication.
The level of gratitude and unconditional love Rick has for his father's commitment was evident when he was once asked what the one thing he would give his father would be. "The thing I'd like most is for my dad to sit in the chair, so I could push him for once."
The greatest gifts you give aren't valued by the amount of money you paid, nor is it measured by how long it took you to give. It certainly isn't up to the recipient to reflect it's value.
No, the greatest gift you give is determined by the amount of joy and fun YOU have while giving it.
Please watch this powerful video showcasing Team Hoyt and other people you might recognize, reminding us all of the power of one random act of kindness.
In your darkest hour you can shine, but why wait for the lights to dim so you can glow? Help spread the word by sharing this email and video with people who need a little inspiration.
In gratitude for you,
p.s. For once, there is nothing to for you to DO but watch and smile, so if you can spare 1 or 2 more minutes check out this video!

Arcadia is a long-term restoration community where minor sex trafficking survivors become thrivers. Our philosophy "Compass" is built upon the tenets of self-direction and holistic therapy.
Christi Bolz, Founder
Arcadia will be a restoration community for minor sex trafficking victims who need long-term specialized care. Arcadians will be as young as 11 and will stay from one to three years. In many cases, survivors will leave Arcadia with foster parents who they have already developed a relationship with while in the security of Arcadia.
The Arcadia space itself will be located outside the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Its purposeful design features many bungalows where groups of girls live together in a house parent model which allows the girls to experience a healthy family dynamic and develop a better understanding how to navigate boundaries. These bungalows are all centered around "The Arc," which is a multipurpose facility where therapies including: music, art, exercise, self-defense, as well as traditional therapies will take place
Our guiding philosophy, "Compass," is about restorative self-direction. Letting survivors take control over their own path to recovery. Because of this, we take a holistic approach to restoration, addressing trauma of the mind, body and spirit by offering many different therapies with proven records of success. These include canine therapy, equine therapy, horticulture therapy, music therapy, and art therapy. We also will offer onsite medical services, education, support in career planning, life-skills, health & wellness, substance abuse, and more.
No matter what direction a survivor chooses to go at Arcadia, the choice is always their own. More than any other therapy, the freedom of choice is paramount in helping these girls recover and become re-acclimated into society.
Arcadia will be a community filled with laughter, love, and hope; but survivors can't stay forever. We do everything we can to make sure the continuum of care doesn't end with us, so these survivors are able to genuinely thrive.
If you'd like to be a part of the solution, we encourage you to reach out to us and put your skills to the test! Our team is growing and we can never have too many volunteers. From donating time or money to hosting an info social, if you're called to support Arcadia, we have a job for you.
We don't believe there is a set curriculum or a universal approach to restoration. Compass is all about self-direction. We will implement Arcadia's Compass philosophy through the lens of TBRI (Trust Based Relational Intervention). TBRI was developed right here in DFW at TCU. It has been proven to be the most promising practice of trauma informed care models.
In accordance with TBRI, we will guide survivors by empowering them to make choices. With multiple therapy options available, numerous activities, and optional spiritual events to take part in, Arcadian girls will rediscover their freedom and value through the ability to make choices. Additionally, every girl's track to restoration is individualized. By treating these girls like the individuals they are, we are better guiding them to recovery and integration back into society outside of Arcadia.

Single-Family Production Falls in March after Strong February
Nationwide housing starts fell 6.8% in March to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.22 million units, according to newly released data from HUD and the Commerce Department. Still, new housing production in the first quarter of this year is running 8.1% above the 2016 pace.
"Today's numbers are aligned with our builder confidence metric, which contracted slightly this month but is on solid footing overall," said NAHB Chair Granger MacDonald in a press release this morning.
"The three-month moving average for single-family starts has reached a post-recession high, which shows that this sector is continuing to firm," said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. "We can expect further gains in single-family production throughout the year, while multifamily starts should level off."
Single-family production in March decreased 6.2% to an annual rate of 821,000 units after a strong February reading while multifamily starts dropped 7.9% to an annual pace of 394,000.
Combined single- and multifamily housing production rose 12.9% in the Northeast. Starts fell by 2.9% in the South, 16% in the West and 16.2% in the Midwest.
Overall permits were up 3.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.26 million units. Multifamily permits rose 13.8% to 437,000 units while single-family permits edged down 1.1% to 823,000.
Overall permits rose 16.7% in the West, 15.5% in the Northeast and 6% in the South. Permits fell 22% in the Midwest.

All it takes is one leaky pipe and your valuables could be ruined. Water damage is one of the most common problems for home owners, but a few simple steps can help protect your home or condo and your belongings. Even after sopping up the water, you run the risk of damaged floors, smelly carpets or the growth of mould or fungus.
To help keep your home dry this spring, consider the following tips:
1) Protect valuables
Irreplaceable documents, photographs and valuables should be stored in waterproof bags or containers. Move these items out of a basement and away from flood-prone areas of your home. Reduce the risk of electrical shock by picking up electrical cords and extension cords lying on the ground. Disconnect appliances such as floor lamps, fans or heaters and move them to a higher floor or on to a table.
2) Look up
Check around windows, skylights, air vents and chimneys for leaks and repair them. Make sure your home's downspouts extend at least 1.8 m (6 ft.) from the building.
3) Check floor drains and sump pumps
Keep floor drains clear and remove any materials that could clog them. If you have a sump pump, inspect it to ensure it works. Check the pump's discharge pipe, which pushes water outside your home, and aim away from the home to allow water to drain in an appropriate spot, such as your lawn or garden.
4) Install window well covers
Consider installing window well covers to keep window wells free from debris and pooling water.
5) Inspect the roof
If the roof isn't covered in snow and ice; inspect it for any missing or worn shingles. Replace the shingles and consider hiring a professional roofer to check your roof and complete any maintenance required.
6) Look for leaks in caulk and grout
Check your bathroom walls and tiling for cracked or missing caulk and grout. Remove broken or loose pieces and replace the tile and caulk. Water can seep behind the tiles and leak down into other floors or create mould behind the walls.
7) Remove snow and ice
Before the spring melt starts, remove as much snow and ice away from your home as possible. Be sure to clear snow away from areas that slope down toward your home, such as a deck or driveway.
8) Check your appliances
The hoses on your dishwasher, washing machine and your refrigerator's ice maker can wear out or become loose. Inspect them for crack or leaks and replace them at least every seven years.
9) Turn the water off before going away
If you are planning a spring break, shut off the main water valve to your home. If you need to leave it on, turn off the water supply to the washing machine or other appliances that will not be used.
10) Release the pressure
Consider installing an emergency pressure release valve in your plumbing system. The valve protects against any increased pressure in the pipes that is caused by freezing.
11) Attic check
If your attic has poor insulation the heat can escape and melt snow and ice on the roof. The water drips to the edge of the roof but since there is no more heat there, it refreezes causing an ice dam. Ice dams can cause water to get under the shingles and into the attic. Make sure your attic and roof have adequate insulation to prevent ice dams.
12) Water heater maintenance
Some water heaters can hold up to 360 Litres (80 gallons) and if they spring a leak, they can flood an entire home. Water heaters should be partially drained every six months. This prevents sediments from building in the bottom of the tank which can cause erosion and rust. While you are draining the water heater, check the pipes for leaks.

Shell - oil & gas company
Shell explored for oil in a remote part of the south-east Peruvian Amazon in the early 1980s.
The centre of operations was along the River Urubamba, which runs past the famous Inca ruin of Machu Picchu and is a major tributary of the mighty River Amazon.
'First Contact'
Shell's explorations involved clearing paths into virgin rainforest inhabited by uncontacted tribes.
Subsequently, these paths were used by loggers to enter what had been a previously inaccessible region. The result? 'First contact' with the Nahua tribe that killed more than half of them.
'That terrible illness!'
The impact of 'first contact' on the Nahua, in 1984, was devastating. There were epidemics, pneumonia and severe shortages of food. One estimate claims that up to 60% of the entire tribe died.
'Many, many people died. People dying everywhere, like fish after a stream has been poisoned. People left to rot along stream banks, in the woods, in their houses. That terrible illness!' remembers one Nahua man, Tomas.
Shell ended up discovering gas, not oil, but only decided to do further explorations to evaluate the full potential of the deposits in 1996.
It did so fully aware that uncontacted Indians such as the Nanti lived in the region and that they could be decimated, like the Nahua, by contact with its workers.
The 'Camisea project'
Eventually, Shell pulled out of the region altogether. Today, the gas deposits in this region, known as the Camisea gas fields, are exploited by a consortium of companies including Pluspetrol and Hunt Oil.
The 'Camisea project', as it is now known, has been strongly criticised. Indigenous organisation AIDESEP said it has contaminated rivers and streams, brought new diseases, and threatened access to traditional food and medicines.
Forced contact?
The area where these companies work, called 'Lot 88' by the government, includes a reserve for uncontacted tribes – the first reserve created for uncontacted tribes anywhere in Peru.
According to a delegation of international NGOs, 'Camisea project' employees have allegedly made forced contact with members of some of these tribes.
The situation is so serious that AIDESEP has appealed to Latin America's top human rights body, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, to suspend work in the region.
'The Camisea project is threatening the fundamental rights of indigenous peoples and damaging fragile ecosystems and Amazon biodiversity,' AIDESEP has said, in a joint statement with other Peruvian organisations.

What's happening at DerbyCon?
In this legacy edition of the Exploring Information Security podcast, Ben Miller (@securithid) , Cliff Smith (@BismithSalamandr) , Paul "BubbaSec" Coggin (@PaulCoggin) , Dave Chronister (@bagomojo), Sean Peterson (@SeanThePeterson), and Jimmy Byrd (@Jimmy_Byrd) (and briefly @aprilwright ) join me to talk security.
This is likely the last podcast conference special of the year. It's a good one. We had quite the crew to record this one and got very in-depth and deep on topics related to infosec. Big shout out and thanks again to Dave for bringing the mics and participating in the podcast.
I've been pleasantly surprised with how this and the other podcasts have turned out. I've gotten some great feedback and I plan to do more of these in the future. It was also floated to me that we record one of these as a panel at one of the conferences. We'll see.
In this episode we discuss:
- The legacy of DerbyCon and what the future holds.
- What it's like at a developer conference?
- Is there security fatigue?
- Patch your shit.

And at all hours!
Every Sunday to Thursday evening, they're out there, pulling over scofflaws- people who run stop signs, exceed 25 mph in a residential area and drivers under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol (DUI). Hollywood, in case you haven't heard, is a cesspool of homelessness, drugs, crime and tourists. They've opened up so many nightclubs that on the weekends it is DUI heaven up in here. And you can quote me on that. The cops don't really enforce the law, so much as pick up the pieces of people who need some repairs, whether it's their bodies, their cars or both. The sound of the ghetto birds cheers the heart all through the weekend, along with its close friend the siren-bird whose lilting dulcet sounds can be heard all over Hollywood every night of the week.
There he is, our propellor-driven friend, keeping the skies and streets of Hollywood safe.

Hi Donna,
I love your email! The formatting looks perfect! The colors look great except I might not have used the yellow in the right sidebar. I would maybe alternate the colors on the right sidebar instead of using 4 different background colors. I love how you have your business contact information at the bottom of the newsletter. I also like how you have the Facebook icon linking to your Facebook page right up front. I did click through to your page and I did see that you do not have our Join My Mailing List app installed, so as a side note, here is the FAQ to get that started.
Great job and thanks so much for sharing!

Does a machine ever make things simpler in the kitchen – or just add yet another thing to clean?! Think of the Cuisinart, Kitchen Aid and Vitamix, these super kitchen appliances streamline labor intensive baking prep – and give you more time to spend sharing your treats with those you love. And with only one container to wash, add little extra clean-up. Work savers, time saver and clean up savers, home cooks can't wait to get their hands on these appliances. Items like the Kitchen Aid are milestones for many home bakers – who have taken their commitment to baking to the next level.
Yet there's a gap in just what these appliances can do. They can shop, shred, blend, and cream just about anything. They can make the smoothest chocolate mousse you've ever tasted. So what's missing?
What's missing is the first, elemental step in ingredient preparation: ingredient measurement.
Making the smoothest chocolate mousse you've ever tasted begins with the right weight of chocolate and sugar. Professional bakers use weight to control their results and yield consistent baked goods.
Minimizing the Hassle of Ingredient Measurement and Preparation
Unfortunately, weighing flours, sugars and wet ingredients separately is a tedious back and forth of scooping, spilling and pouring. The home baker needs a streamlined way to precisely measure and dispense dry ingredients, without all the time and hassle.
Fortunately, the PantryChic™ Store and Dispense System™ is currently in development to solve just this!
PantryChic™ Store and Dispense System™ is a sleek measurement appliance that makes weighing and organizing dry ingredients simple and elegant. It's for people that would like to prepare fresh baked goods from scratch everyday – but don't want the clean-up and prep time these preparations can take.
Organization with the PantryChic ™ Store and Dispense System™ is intuitive and refined.
Storage containers neatly fit together in your cupboards or on the counter top, and can be placed directly on top of the scaled, and dispensing base. To use: Just place your ingredient canister of choice on the base, select the quantity on the interface, and the unit dispenses the programmed amount into your bowl. Three steps make great baking even greater.

8th-15th September 2018
AUD$2,855 (AUSTRALIAN dollars) per person - 7 nights/8 days
aud$200 discount for 2nd person + early bird discount for booking before 1st JUNE 2018
THE HIMALAYAS AND VILLAGE LIFE awaits
You will be greeted on arrival with a traditional Nepali welcoming ceremony at your stunning Himalayan lakeside hotel in Pokhara. Here you can unwind, enjoy your first evening and prepare yourself for the daily meditation, yoga and trekking that will follow.
During your first four days you will embark on a homestay trek and be immersed in Nepal's profound beauty. You will experience Nepal's picturesque and heartwarming mountain village life, with its overwhelming hospitality and fresh local food. You will also visit a Tibetan village and monastery to experience the magical chanting of the Tibetan buddhist monks.
You will then spend the final four days back at your hotel indulging in a divine Himalayan yoga and meditation retreat overlooking Phewa Lake and surrounded by majestic mountains. You will have free time to explore Pokhara, Phewa Lake and the multitude of lakeside cafes and local sights.
How we are helping
In Nepal, disadvantaged or traumatised children are vulnerable to ill health, exploitation, trafficking, prostitution, substance abuse and crime.
As a therapist and social worker, every retreat and experience Marissa creates is motivated to help others. For this trip, USD$100 per person will be donated to the treatment of traumatised girls from the Annapurna region. Extra contributions are welcome and members are free to raise additional funds themselves. Every dollar helps enormously, but there is no obligation.
You will have the opportunity to learn about the complex social issues of Nepal, its history, its crises and understand the intricacies of social development and knowing how to contribute effectively. You will also meet the grassroots team we are supporting at Nepal House that have dedicated their lives to rehabilitating children affected by poverty and war, and who desperately need our help right now to keep these little girls in school.
Yoga and social work are united by the principles and intentions of service, humanity, equality, compassion, liberation, openness, understanding and transcending boundaries. During the trip we will draw on these principles ourselves, and with generosity of heart, offer it to others.
Marissa is a yoga teacher who has lived in the Himalayas for 6 years. She will introduce you to guest Nepalese yoga and meditation teachers she has come to know very well, who will share their unique practices and beautiful way of life.
This trip offers you the best of both worlds. The homestay trek will show you authentic, untouched village life, far from the crowded tourist trails and a refreshing world away from modern living. You will experience traditional music, dancing, singing by the fire, traditional mountain food, incredible views and you will stay in quaint traditional Nepalese farmhouses.
This will be a light enjoyable trek with no altitude. The trek includes: food, professional yoga and meditation teacher, accommodation, expert mountain guide and porter. You are also welcome to book your own personal porter.
Afterwards you will be treated to the luxury of the hotel, deep therapeutic yoga and meditation sessions and the chance to visit a few of Pokhara's finest restaurants. One complimentary massage or Nepalese traditional healing session is included in the retreat fee which you can redeem at anytime during your stay in Pokhara. There will also be plenty of time for you to just relax, enjoy and take in Nepal. How much you participate is your choice. As we say in Nepal, "as you wish!"

Archive for the 'blood' Tag
First time drawing a patients blood
The other night, it was my turn to draw blood from a patient at the hospital. Now. We've all practiced on dummy hands and feet or fruit but, never on an actual patient. We all took the Phlebotomy Class, sat through a drab lecture and watched the long videos. We could do it "Grey's Anatomy" style and practice on ourselves, which I'm told use to be done but not anymore. I'm thinking that might've actually not been a problem for me because at least we would've real patient experience.
We draw blood and do labs at a certain time because by then, especially when a patient has just been admitted, we wait for all their paperwork to come in. I go in this patients room at 6:15 am, hoping she was an early raiser. She usually is but not that morning. I wake her up and I say," Hey Mrs. So and so. We need to get some blood drawn for testing". She's cool about it and sits up in the bed.
So, I get all my stuff ready butterfly needle(awesome needle that actually looks like a butterfly with a retractable needle to prevent sticking oneself), two tubes(with the right colored tops), cotton, band aid and tourniquet. I tie her arm waiting for a vein to pop up. Usually, she's a pretty good stick and it takes no effort to get her blood, not that morning! I tap her arm, veins pop up and as I go to stick her, the vein moves. It's called "Rolling veins". I do it again and, as I go to hold her vein in place with my thumb, I see it move again! I finally move to the other arm, doing the same thing I did with the previous arm.
On the left arm, the good vein just so happens to be at the corner of her arm. I stick the needle in there, go down as far as I needed and boom, blood comes out into the tube that I attached to the butterfly needle. As I grab the band aid, while holding the cotton over the stick, I tell her not to move before I put it on there. Somehow she flinches and the needle slides out before I pull the tubing to retract the needle and her blood drips on her pajamas and bed sheets!
So,not only did I have trouble getting her blood on my first try, she flinches and her blood goes everywhere. I'm thinking,"GREAT. I must look like a total idiot"! Now I'm nervous about drawing blood and people flinching. My confidence has been shot and I will probably freeze up the next time. No matter how nervous I am, I am suppose to walk into that room and act like I have been taking blood for years. Never mind you getting a kid or someone that does NOT like needles screaming and wiggling around while you're trying to draw blood thrown on top of my confidence being shot. That doesn't help at all!

Shopping for electronics can be a enormous problem for individuals that aren't very accustomed to technology. Headphones are additionally utilized by individuals in varied professional contexts, such as audio engineers mixing sound for reside live shows or sound recordings and DJs , who use headphones to cue up the subsequent song they will play without the audience hearing, aircraft pilots and name heart workers.
Bestsellers Store for popular Headphones from prime brands such as Bose , JBL , House of Marley , AmazonBasics , Philips , Sennheiser , Skullcandy , Monster , Audio-Technica , Inventive and Sony among others and that includes headphones of all types and shapes and functionalities; together with in-ear, on-ear, over-ear, sports activities and wireless headphones.
Typical closed-back headphones block 8 to 12 dB, and in-ears wherever from 10 to fifteen dB. Some models have been specifically designed for drummers, with the intention to have the ability to monitor the recorded sound while shutting out the sound coming directly from the drums at the same time as much as possible.
Whether or not you blast high-power tunes while lifting weights, crave personal listening within the workplace, or drone out a noisy commute with podcasts, a pair of headphones can deliver your audio to life with incredible clarity. Cordless bluetooth headsets can be found, and infrequently used with cellular telephones Headsets are broadly used for telephone-intensive jobs, specifically by call centre workers.
Circumaural headphones have giant pads that encompass the outer ear. Choosing the right headphones makes it doable for you to hear your music the way the artist who made it intended, with all of the nuances from the best bass and treble levels so you possibly can hear each drum beat and guitar strum.

An insatiable guy picks up a feminine shemale off the street. As he drives her back to his house, where his wife is waiting in bed, he just can't keep his hands off her. He keeps on caressing those full transsexual breasts and reaching up underneath her dress to feel that thick dong in his palm. His wife is impressed by the oversize meatstick and charm of this tranny, eagerly mouthing her shaft and then taking it in her twat. The action is fast and furious as the husband fucks the tranny in the ass hole and then sticks his dirty shlong in his wife's mouth.

I did a marketing workshop recently and as with other workshops I've done, I wanted to share it with you too. Woo Woo!
So what did I learn about marketing a creative business?
Marketing is about communication. It is about connection and conversations – not selling. Look at ways to maximize what you are doing with your communication. Network with other creative business people to find out information you need. Once you ask a few questions, you will understand marketing better and you will find much of it is common sense. Marketing and publicity aren't magic, they aren't expensive and most importantly, it is not beyond you.
Have a plan. What are you going to do and how are you going to do it? Do a business plan so you know where you are going. Know who your customer is (see this post), where they are, how to get your product in front of them and what they will pay. This will help you know where to target your efforts. Be really clear on your point of difference.
Have an elevator pitch. Be able to talk about what you do, what makes you different, where you sell and what your business name is. Share your idea with as many people as possible. You never know who you are going to meet and where you will meet them. Be ready.
Getting publicity. Do a small press release that you can issue to the local paper or boutique magazines. Include a couple of photos and information on what you do and most importantly, why you are different. Get to know the journalists you want to connect with. Send them real life samples that they can see and touch. Brainstorm the easiest things you can do for promoting your business and do that first.
Don't underestimate the power of publicity. The workshop speaker mentioned a product she sold that she charged a lot of money for. More than I would have paid for the product. But magazine exposure generated more sales than she could handle. (I've heard before "Do not under estimate what people will pay for something"). Even a small amout of publicity can lead to bigger things.
Packaging is part of your promotion. Have your packaging lead back to you with information like your website, your Etsy store and/or your email. You never know who it will get passed on to. Have it be on brand to help sell your product. Make it work for you. The speaker has seen a failed product turn into a successful product just by redesigning the packaging. How you package your product shows how much you value your product and it can build value for your customer too.
Work it, baby. Use your name in your profiles like Twitter, Facebook and your website or blog. People want to do business with people. They want to get to know you. Be detailed in your descriptions of your products. Don't put yourself or your business down by saying "I just" – "I just make jewellery".
Give. Be generous with your time, with your materials & packaging and with your emails. Allocate a few items of what you make to give away or to send to journalists – to use to market your business.
I hope that has given you some good ideas about marketing your creative products. I am looking forward to using some of these ideas – very soon.
I am going to another workshop soon and of course, I will share what I learn with you. Stay tuned.
♥ Coral.

As everyone else has already noted: a transitional album; this is the half-debut of Miles Davis' second great quintet. On piano, Davis enlists a young Herbie Hancock after being introduced to him by Donald Byrd, whose (incredibly overrated) "Watermelon Man" was making the rounds that same year. On drums, he enlists an even younger Tony Williams, whose youthful exuberance in his way of accenting beats caused a disconnect with other, older musicians but challenged Davis. On bass, he enlists Ron Carter, who needs no introduction. But I say half-debut because 1) Wayne Shorter is missing and 2) half of these six songs are with a different group: Frank Butler on drums, Victor Feldman on piano and again, Ron Carter on bass. And the album's sequenced such that the even-numbered songs are with (the majority of) the second quintet, possessing a N.Y. post-work feel. The songs are sprightlier; heavier; ready for the night. And the odd-numbered songs are with Feldman and Butler, possessing a sunny weekend out in the West Coast feel. Those songs are lazier, more reflective; ready for the afternoon to last forever. What arises from the itinerant approach is one that keeps you on your toes through constant movement from place to place; transportive, I called it before. Preferable, I think, to the alternative, which would have been to have the first half be the N.Y. songs and the second half the West Coast ones (sort of like, say, what Ray Charles did on The Genius of Ray Charles). And I say "transitional album" because, in addition to the differing styles of the two groups, the second great quintet goes on to do bigger and better things.
Preferring faster and heavier music, I think the even-numbered ones are the better draws of the album: the easy seven-note melody of the title track (co-written by Victor Feldman), backed by Tony Williams' fluid and rather unpredictable drumming (he gets one of the choruses to himself so you can see what I mean). "So Near, So Far" has choruses where Davis and Coleman intertwine; Davis, playing the main theme and Coleman arpeggiating underneath, occasionally coming together and with Williams linking each phrase to the next (he does this during the solos too). Choruses aside, the Herbie Hancock gets the best solo of either song, the exploratory and fast-paced one on "Seven Steps to Heaven" contrasting with the calmer, block chords of "So Near, So Far." And the band smoke their way through "Joshua" (written by Feldman) perhaps innervated by Ron Carter's bass.
The slower songs don't have to cater to me, of course, but I simply think there's something lacking: the inexplicably intrusive volume of Miles Davis on "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" detracts; and though Davis' playing on both "Basin Street Blues" and "I Fall In Love Too Easily" seem emotionally-charged and both Carter and Feldman provide nice colour, neither song engages for their entire duration.
Somewhat lazy review for a somewhat lazy album. Oh, well – I needed to clear some space on my Ipod.
