Religion of Perpetual Outrage alert: Another Mohammed cartoon riot
Lessons we learned from the first Mohammed Cartoon riots: It's never over. There's always a pretext. Somewhere in the world, someone will end up dead for "insulting Islam."
Via Jihad Watch, three were killed in riots last week in Nigeria after Christian students disseminated caricatures of the Big Mo:
Three persons including a police officer were killed after Muslim students rioted over a caricature of Prophet Mohammed by their Christian colleagues, police and teachers said Friday.
Students of Government Secondary School Sumaila, some 76 kilometres (47 miles) south of the northern city of Kano, went on the rampage late Thursday, after a Christian student suspended for two weeks returned to the school. He had been suspended for having drawn a caricature of the Prophet and posted it on a wall inside the school.
"Two people and a police inspector have been killed in the violence while the divisional police station and everything inside including ammunition have been burnt by the rioters", Kano police chief Aminu Yesufu told reporters outside the burnt police station.
He said about 20 others were badly wounded, including the divisional police officer, who suffered a deep machete cut to the head. Police had arrested 25 people and opened an investigation, he added.
"The students began chanting Allahu Akbar (God is the greatest) when the Christian student returned and pursued him to lynch him", Sadiq Haruna, a teacher at the school, told an AFP reporter who visited the town on Friday. "The Christian escaped in taking refuge in the local police station but hundreds of angry Muslim students attacked and set on fire the premises after the police refused to hand him over," Haruna said. The whereabouts of the christian student were still not known.
This is the second time in a week in the mainly Muslim northern Nigeria that an allegation of blasphemy against the Prophet Mohammed has sparked violent protests and an attack on the police.
'Tis the season. 'Tis always the season.
And prepare for more Mo-inspired March Madness when Geert Wilder's anti-Islam mini-documentary is set for debut.

Type: Bug
Status: Resolved (View Workflow)
Priority: Major
Resolution: Fixed
Component/s: msbuild-plugin
Environment:Platform: All, OS: All
Similar Issues:
In Hudson's configuration under MSBuild, I created an MSBuilder installation
named ".NET 3.5" and set the path to
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe" (without the quotes).
Then, in my job, I set msbuild to use ".NET 3.5", and then told the job to build.
Here's the error at the end:
At revision 562
no revision recorded for
in the previous build
FATAL: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe doesn't exist
Finished: FAILURE
I tried surrounding the path with quotation marks in Hudson's configuration, but
the error stayed the same.
My hudson manager server runs on Linux, and the slave is Windows. This job is
tied to that Windows slave, and I have checked many times to make sure that path
is valid.
Confirmed here as well. The path gets checked on the master instead of on the slave machine. Some workarounds:
- install .NET 3.5 on master as well
- use another builder, for example Ant or NAnt and exec MSBuild from it
I'm also using hudson in this scheme.
An advice to candrews until this bug is closed:
1. Delete from hudson (master) configuration any msbuild installations. Hudson will try to find it in current directory
2. Goto slave node and add to %PATH% path to msbuild.exe binary file
3. test it - start->run->cmd and type msbuild
4. Restart slave service so it will be able to update paths
5. Try
Hope, this help you
Hello there,
I think this bug is solved since MSBuild Plugin 1.4. Am I right?

The Geriatric Pilots Association was founded for the purpose of bringing together pilots and air crew people from World War II in memory of Pearl Harbor. As time marches on we are encouraging those who served in Vietnam and Korea to join our ranks.
The Geriatric Pilots Association sponsored the building of a model of the 1911 D-3 Glenn Curtiss Pusher airplane which was displayed to the public on March 15, at the Greater Rochester International Airport. The organization contributed about $12,000 to support the efforts of Parma resident Vet Thomas to construct the model. Vet was helped in the construction phase, which took about four years, by his father Rollin Thomas, Jim Birch, Art Theime and Stan Teachman (deceased).

text: In this paper, we propose Partition min-Hash (PmH), a novel hashing scheme for discovering partial duplicate images from a large database. Unlike the standard min-Hash algorithm that assumes a bag of words image representation, our approach utilizes the fact that duplicate regions among images are often localized. By theoretical analysis, simulation, and empirical study, we show that PmH outperforms standard min-Hash in terms of recision and recall, while being orders of magnitude faster. When combined with the start-of-the-art Geometric min-Hash algorithm, our approach speeds up hashing by 10 times without losing precision or recall. When given a fixed time budget, our method achieves much higher recall than the state-of-the-art.

Kelly ShibariHt. - 5'7
Wt. -165
Measurements - 38F-36-40
Tattoos - Yes
Piercings - No
Kelly Shibari is a Japanese-Irish adult model, fetish performer and porn star. She is singularly the only plus-sized Asian-American porn performer in the American pornographic industry. Kelly boasts an impressive 64,000+ Twitter follower count, the most of any plus-sized performer on the social network.
Kelly has performed in projects with Evil Angel, Zero Tolerance, Evasive Angles, Rodney Moore, Devil's Film, New Sensations, and Red Light District, amongst many others, and has been nominated numerous times for adult industry awards. Kelly was featured as the first-ever pull-out centerfold for AVN Magazine in its only issue to address BBW pornography. She has also appeared in a non-sex role, in the Wicked Pictures feature Summer Lovin', as Asa Akira's mother. The role required Kelly to speak in Japanese, in which she is fluent.
Kelly received acclaim in 2010 with BBW kink site PaddedKINK, which won a 2011 Feminist Porn Award for its efforts to bring plus-sized kink and fetish to the public.
Acclaimed director Jonas Akerlund hand-picked Kelly for a prominent role as a confident, sexy, plus-sized beach bunny in the music video for German industrial/metal band Rammstein's Mein Land, which debuted on Friday, 11/11/11. Kelly was also featured in a promotional campaign for the world premiere, adding to her international appeal. Kelly continued her industry takeover with the introduction of the first-ever BBW Fleshlight. Molded after her own vulva, the limited-edition BBW version of the #1 selling men's sex toy was unveiled on July 2, 2012 until the fall of the same year.
Kelly has written for several adult industry sites, including XBIZ, HotMoviesForHer, AllAdultNetwork, and CAM4. She was also a featured guest editor on ex-Gawker Media site Fleshbot's Kelly Shibari Week; her article on plus size sexuality and pornography on Jane Pratt's SAY MEDIA site, xojane, was one of the site's most popular articles.
Kelly runs a PR and marketing consultancy for the adult industry, The PRSM Group, and has spoken at numerous adult and mainstream conventions on the use of social media as a marketing and branding tool for the adult industry, including AVN, XBIZ, Inbound Marketing Summit, and BlogWorldExpo. Kelly was hired in 2013 as the Executive of Social and Media Relations for premiere industry firm FineAssMarketing.
Originally from Japan, Kelly currently calls the West Coast her home and constantly confuses her colleagues with her old-fashioned, Eastern sensibilities.

After 21 years together and a blockbuster $8.3 billion acquisition, Concur co-founders Mike Hilton and Rajeev Singh today announced that they are stepping down from the pioneering maker of travel and entertainment expense management software.
Their last day at the Bellevue company will be Jan. 30 — which interestingly enough is the day both are scheduled to speak about their entrepreneurial journey as part of GeekWire's annual Startup Day event.
"Mike and Raj have been instrumental in nurturing our company and growing it to incredible heights," writes Concur CEO Steve Singh in a message to employees. "What Mike and Raj did better than anything else is foster a culture that brought out the best in everyone."
The announcement of the departures comes almost exactly one month after SAP completed its acquisition of Concur for $8.3 billion — one of the biggest acquisitions of a Seattle area software company in recent history.
Concur started by selling shrink-wrapped software in the early 1990s, and it is one of the few that successfully transitioned its business model to cloud-based software. It has continued to grow and expand its footprint in the travel sector through a series of acquisitions in recent years. It now employs 4,200 worldwide.
"The history of the story, I think is one of a series of pivots," Rajeev Singh said of Concur at the 9Mile Labs Demo Day event in Seattle last month. He added that the company was successful because it was never thinking of a quick exit, instead focusing on building a great product and service.
"We stuck with the original idea, but we had to be willing to change," said Rajeev Singh. "Along the way, we made plenty of mistakes, but the willingness to change, and the willingness to bet on that change and the willingness to believe in what we thought was right because we knew our customer well, was essential to being able to build the company."
Here's the full memo that Steve Singh, the older brother of Rajeev, sent out to employees today:
Today we shared that Mike Hilton and Raj Singh will step down from their positions as Chief Product Officer and Chief Operating Officer/President respectively. Elena Donio, Concur's Executive Vice President and General Manager, has been appointed as our new President. Barry Padgett, EVP, Traveler Services has been named Chief Product Officer. Both Elena and Barry have been with Concur for more than 15 years and are leaders I'm proud to have leading our company.
When Mike, Raj and I started out 21 years ago, we had a dream of building a world-class software business that would transform expense management as we know it. Mike and Raj have been instrumental in nurturing our company and growing it to incredible heights. What Mike and Raj did better than anything else is foster a culture that brought out the best in everyone. We not only achieved that, but also brought the best to the world. Concur is where it is today, thanks to the both of them.
Needless to say, we love them and will miss them very much. I will always consider Mike and Raj a part of the Concur family. We are so grateful for their tireless leadership and wish them the very best in their future endeavors. As for Concur, I am excited about the future ahead — what we can achieve in 2015, and how we can accelerate our vision of The Perfect Trip.
– Steve Singh, Concur

Betting on ponies in 2008 reminds me of all the three card monte games that were played in the streets before the quality of life assault eliminated these games from street corners. Those Monte guys and their shills had a uncanny knack of hiding that lady and taking the marks money. They were fun games to watch. Today's horse racing market is not that far removed from the three card Monte games from 20 years ago. It must be funny for someone out there to watch horseplayers jumping through hoops to watch races and get a bet down. However it is not so funny if you are the mark jumping through the hoops.
Just like the Monte game the mark is always one step behind. You look under one hand and expect to be able to bet Churchill on the Twinspires website but the lady is not there. You go to the NYRA website to watch replays and the NY state government restricts NYRA from showing video and replays, the lady is not there either. This is like Ikea not being able to display furniture in it's big box superstore. You have to go to some to other store (calracing) to see the Ikea goods. You live in Texas and you can bet with a ADW, you can see a lady, but you can not bet on Texas races if you live in Texas. It is like being married and not being allowed to be intimate with your spouse. It is getting increasingly more challenging to find the lady in the horse racing world. The various regulatory bodies and the tracks themselves have made mistake after mistake, taking the customer for granted, disrespecting the customer and making few attempts to attract new fans. Real discontent is growing in the horseplayer community and a backlash is underway.
What can a horseplayer that truly loves the game do? We enjoy the game, it provides a diversion from the mundane responsibilities of life but on the other hand who wants to be a three card Monte mark? In New York takeout is increasing in new and punitive ways. It is like the state has introduced a new automated milking mechanism to harvest our milk more effectively and without us noticing. The state really thinks that horseplayers in New York will stand for getting less than track prices on each and every race we bet on. The NYSRWB consistently rules not for the good of the game or those that fund the game but for special interests like OTB. Rather than governing with the benevolent philosophy of growing the game and attracting new players, the current horseplayer is consistently treated like a lactating heifer fit to be milked dry. It is time to take our teats and jump the fence.
Horseplayers are not trapped in a round pen. We have options and outs. We can close our accounts and leave the game we love behind, but why cut off our noses to spite our faces? Perhaps a better option is to move our money to people that want our business and will treat us and the billions we wager with respect. Off-shore wagering was something I once resisted but it is time to embrace this alternate way to enjoy the game. It is a way to liberate ourselves from a dysfunctional system while collecting beneficial rebates. It is all about helping those that help us.

There are very many advantages that are often associated with finding and hiring the services of a professional eye doctor.
Most people normally find it very advantageous when it comes to having a professional eye doctor mainly because they are able to treat almost all types of eye diseases and conditions known to man. You will also be able to learn more about how to take care of your eyes and overall health and hygiene. You should always take as much time as possible whenever you want to find and hire the services of a professional eye doctor for either you or your family.

Hi everyone. I have also visited Randi's board and have even been posting. I enjoy discussion/debate with skeptics.
I have to say honestly that so far I have been treated politely and with respect. There are definitely some insults posted about regulars on this board and I'm going to do my best to call them on it.
However, I think it's fair to say that not all people who come from Randi's site are negative, mean-spirited, Randi-worshipers. I guess we shouldn't make assumptions based on our bad experience with Cantata. Just my two cents.March 7, 2002 at 11:12 pm #75322Pam BKeymaster
I agree RC, I posted there a while back, and one of the first things that I said to them was something to the effect of, "I would never assume that everyone here is identical in thought."March 7, 2002 at 11:52 pm #75307marciaParticipant
I saw your posts also RC, and you certainly seem more than fair to both sides of the coin and I did see that you called some of them on the name calling and the like. I'm sure they aren't all so nasty, maybe I was just a little taken aback by it…..I wasn't expecting to see some of the foul language, etc….I've definitely never seen that here.
I look at the site because I sincerely want to leave that door open at least a crack, but don't think I will go back to the forum area.
Maybe someone from there will make their way back to this site and have something interesting to post. I don't think it ever quite managed to get around to that with asa's posts, and maybe I am partially to blame for that. I'll try to do better next time.
Thank you for responding……I appreciate it.March 8, 2002 at 12:56 am #75302YardbirdParticipant
My sentiments exactly, RC. It was never my intent to insult Asa, or anyone for that matter. I apologize to Asa and others if I did so. As a skeptic of most things paranormal, I am in complete agreement that there are skeptics out there who aren't mean-spirited or negative ( :D ). It would be in poor taste and darn-near hypocritical of me to deflate a true skeptic stance.
But as the first moderator to stumble across Asa's post, I had to be forthright with the board's intentions. The majority of posters here would not approve of debate upon Mr. Edward personally (as that is what the term "opinion" means- where is that dictionary of mine?) , and to come to a private forum specifically geared towards the positive work of Mr. Edward's with a "negative" opinion, the poster would find themselves agitated and unsupported in their beliefs. I wouldn't want to put up with that, and I felt it right to prepare Asa for such consequences.
And may I extend a thank you for your calling upon the insensitive and downright shameful posters on other boards. While I personally do not feel this is necessary, I do appreciate your sense of debate/discussion (at least with the skeptics- I cannot abide cynics in any field of thought). Keep up the good fight, RC, and thanks for visiting- YardbirdMarch 8, 2002 at 1:31 am #75289RCParticipant

Hey everyone–I feel the need to clarify what board I'm talking about. First, I am a regular member on this board, just changed my screenname. I'm also not a skeptic, but a believer in mediumship. Just enjoy discussing with skeptics.
The insults board I am talking about in this posting are on Randi's board, not here. When I re-read my posting, it seemed kind of unclear.March 8, 2002 at 12:19 pm #75735lptimmtruckinParticipant
I along with I'm sure others… like a healthy debate/discussion over different possibilities.
What bothers me about most cynics and won't-get-off-the-fence skeptics is their negativity.
Just my 2 cents :)
LaurrynMarch 8, 2002 at 12:38 pm #75730Pam BKeymaster
For me, this isn't about discouraging discussion. I'm all for debate, but not on this board — there are many other boards where each side can "debate". TVTALK, About.com and the SCIFI boards already have months of debates going on. Discussion which is welcome here, is not debate.
What I have a problem with, is the insulting and abusive verbiage that's used by people who who frequent a website, encouraged by the hate-inspiring rhetoric of a man like Randi. Randi's words give them permission to ridicule and spit words of hate. They're emulating him, and attempting to imitate him.
I certainly won't lump everyone who posts at the Randi website into the same category as the ones who make the most idiotic and wasteful hate posts towards us. There's different degrees of skepticism on up to cynicism.
**** Update 2002 *****
We've opted to close this area of discussion for new posts. There are several reasons:
* Because of the nature of human communication the internet, and our strict publicized rules about "keep it respectful" – very few people were able to make sound, skeptical arguments in a way that was respectful of our beliefs. Some did, and we tip our hat to them for their skillfull communicaiton skills, and respectful, tolerant view points.
* It's all been said, there's nothing new to discuss. After over 2 years of Crossing Over being aired on TV, the arguments of huge conspiracies of audience plants and searchable databases that contain highly intimate information about people's personal relatiolnships and conversations, hidden microphones and ear speakers are not only tired, they are laughable. We've hashed and rehashed "cold/warm/hot" reading theories over and over again with no more education to be had.
* No one's interested in any more. The few who asked for access to this group mostly read and lurked, and the ones who were trolls couldn't even post an interesting insult, much less take the time to spell check their name-calling. How boring. ;)
* It takes too much time to moderate, granting access, responding to emails, etc.
The benifit of keeping it open for discussion does not outweigh the cost of time and energy. However, we do support open-minded skepticism because I strongly feel that a belief unquestioned is not worth having. Sometimes your beliefs will be stronger after appropriate skepticism, and we feel there's very valuable information contained within these threads, so we're keeping the forum intact, but in read only mode.
Enjoy, keep an open mind, keep your skepticism level appropriate, and always, ALWAYS be tolerant of other's beliefs you don't share. :love:

The relationship between the dental occlusion (bite) and the function of the masticatory system (The organs and structures primarily functioning in mastication (eating), including jaws and jaw muscles, teeth, temporomandibular joints, tongue, lips, cheeks, and mucous membranes.) has been of great interest for at least the past 50 years among dentists.
An understanding of the occlusal requirements for restoring dentitions still constitutes core knowledge the dental curriculum , and the skills necessary to manage the dental occlusion are essential to any kind of dental
What can change your bite?
There is a significant relationship between diseases of the masticatory system and the dental occlusion . For example, inflammatory periapical processes (tooth
abscess) can cause hypereruption of affected teeth that, in turn, influence the patient's occlusal comfort and can disrupt the interplay between the maxillary and mandibular dentitions. Similar phenomena can occur in states of periodontal (gum) disease. Alternatively, changes in the termpormandibular joint (TMJ) , such
as loss of disc tissues or swelling (edema), can also affect the relationship and dynamic interplay between the opposing arches. Often seen clinically are open
anterior or lateral bites. Patients realize their bite does not feel the same. There always is an underlying reason or pathology that is causing this.
I believe the key to avoiding Temporomandibular Joint disease is through early detection of an irregular, unbalanced bite. This can only be found by the restorative dentist who takes careful comprehensive records of the patient to evaluate the bite. There are no shortcuts to this process.

Everyone gathered around as the child opened his eyes. They stared at the monitor as the chip attached to the child's optic nerve began to relay his vision on it. There was nothing. The child appeared to watch an empty corner of the room, focusing his eyes on something invisible. The people around followed his gaze, but could only see a blank wall. Puzzled, they looked at each other inquiringly. The child continued to stare.
"Look!" said Natasha, suddenly. The monitor on the table came to life, and a faint image began to form on the screen. As they all watched intently, the faint image began to form the dark shape of a human. In a few moments, there was a hazy outline of a woman staggering towards the door. The image soon became clear, taking the distinct form of a woman. Slowly, she appeared to come closer to the screen. All of a sudden, her face became clear. She raised her eyes and looked at them. Everyone gasped and fell back, frozen.....

The Nationals leader Michael McCormack has made his first visit to Menindee since the ecological disaster which led to the death of up to a million fish, claiming "we're all experts in hindsight".
The deputy prime minister visited the fish-kill ground-zero site with local Nationals MP Mark Coulton, who was also making his first visit since the mass death was reported early last month.
"Everybody will have a different opinion on what should or shouldn't have been done – the fact is the Murray-Darling Basin Authority, with the CEO, Phillip Glyde, he's putting into place what the Water Act of 2007 asked him.
"The authority is an independent statutory body, it's doing what is legislated and been passed in a bipartisan way between all the states and the commonwealth." A royal commission ordered by the former South Australian Labor government into issues with the Murray-Darling River at its end found gross maladministration, negligence and unlawful actions in creating and administering the basin plan had led to the river system's poor health.
Play Video 0:44 The senior counsel to the royal commission, Richard Beasley, has subsequently said politics, not science, dictated how the Murray-Darling Basin plan was implemented, which led to irrigators receiving too much water at the expense of the environment.
McCormack, who has followed his predecessor's lead in defending irrigators in the wake of the fish kill, said the blame pointed at cotton and rice farmers was "not entirely fair".
"They've had no water allocations – the fact is it is dry and governments can't make it rain.
"The fact is it's a big nation.
"What we don't want is what the Greens and Bill Shorten would have us do, and have 45% emissions targets which are unrealistic.
"We don't want to go down a path of renewables, which is not going to solve anything, apart from de-industrialising Australia and making sure we don't do manufacturing here and push electricity bills into the unaffordable state."

Leading Strategy Activation Requires
a People-First Approach
Almost every organization today talks regularly about its strategy. It's the topic of great debate and sound writing: what is strategy; how do you arrive at a compelling strategy; the list goes on. We have an abundance of resources to guide us through strategic planning processes, and we see organizations regularly invest tremendous amounts of time and money in the formation of strategy itself.
There is value in this investment in strategy. When constructed well, strategy breaks down into goals, objectives, and initiatives, often in a very linear, time-bound, programmatic way that will produce growth and change. All of this is clearly important. When managed properly, it can be an effective and essential part of growth. But too often, we take for granted the critical element that makes strategy effective—that is, the people who will be doing things differently and producing new results to make the strategic vision a reality.
Strategy is activated through people.
The idea of strategy activation through people feels fairly intuitive. Yet, how often do we talk about what our strategy activation plan is? How much attention is given to how this strategy activation will occur? How well do we account for the neuroscience research that helps us understand why activating a new strategy is so difficult? Lastly, how do we know when and where it's working to help us reach our goals and the organization's potential?
What is strategy activation and how does it work?
Strategy activation eliminates the gap between development and execution. It moves people into action. The skills, tactics, techniques, and approaches that fit under this heading of strategy activation are broad. They encompass many topics and skills—brand, culture, technology, neuroscience, communication, and visual design, to name a few. However, there are a few fundamental concepts that can strengthen any organization's approach to strategy activation.
Align key stakeholders
Strategy activation starts with alignment. There are many levels of alignment:
- Align the board and executives on what the strategy is.
- Align executives and other senior leaders on the culture, purpose, and principles that give shape to how strategy comes to life.
- Align senior leaders and middle management on the how and why of strategy activation.
Alignment reduces conflict and creates a foundation for the efficient deployment of strategy. In contrast, the lack of alignment will bog an organization down in continuous internal meetings and endless debate.
Craft a compelling story
Successful strategy activation depends on clarity, repetition, and storytelling. Too often we start strategic initiatives with a company announcement. The purpose remains high level and the intention is left to interpretation. What winds up happening is the narrative is written by the recipients of the message. Confusion and tension begin to set in before things have even started.
Beginning with connection to the organization's purpose, strategy activation must vividly articulate why the strategy makes sense. It needs holistic branding to paint the vision of the journey ahead. It needs a layered communication strategy that reaches each individual where they are and helps them process where they will be going. And it needs to be done through compelling stories that give shape and depth to the journey that is underway.
Begin activation with onboarding
Strategy activation needs to begin prior to the onboarding process of new employees. Employees need to be given a consistent story and a well-orchestrated, synthesized onboarding experience that helps them see, hear, and live the strategy before their first day on the job. Building robust onboarding platforms and employee support systems are essential to both the initial strategy activation and the ongoing (and inevitable) adaptation and change to the strategy. Experience design is a critical skill set in the strategy activation process to get this piece right.
Empower middle managers
Strategy activation is highly dependent on middle managers. Real work gets led in the middle of most organizations and executed on the front lines. That's where we touch the customer. That's where processes work—or don't. That's where daily decisions are made that result in an efficient, high-quality, customer-centric organization (or result in something else).
Unfortunately, middle managers are generally overloaded and under pressure from many directions. They are expected to operate the business, advocate for change, lead people, and answer to other leaders all while making sure customers are happy and quality is high. It's essential to provide middle managers with significant support for strategy activation. This might start with:
- Clear, simple visual design of support tools that help explain ideas
- Infographics that communicate models in simple ways
- Short video snippets that provide just-in-time support
These tactics and others make middle managers' lives easier. Regardless of the approach, effective strategy activation requires us to arm managers with the tools to support the front lines; the skills to handle the pressures placed upon them; and the space and support network to process their roles throughout the activation process.
Design the employee experience
Activation requires support systems and points of integration. The tools, technologies, and general infrastructure that exist in an organization can be invaluable resources in the strategy activation process. If strategy depends upon people, then thinking through the employee's experience—and the entire ecosystem that surrounds them, which includes numerous systems and technologies—is essential to bringing strategy to life. Rather than seeing software as a barrier to be learned, effective strategy activation requires us to design the employee's work environment to maximize their effectiveness.
Embrace an iterative approach
Finally, recognize that strategy activation is not linear; it's iterative. Neither strategy nor strategy activation are ever "finished." It's important to embrace this mindset. The process of strategy activation requires feedback loops whereby messages, ideas, priorities, and processes are deployed to the organization, and then data and information are gathered in the deployment process to be fed back into the strategy activation plan as well as the strategy itself.
Leading strategy activation through people
Strategy activation is daunting. So is strategy. So is business. The key to leading strategy activation through your people isn't to worry about getting it all right up front. We're all playing the game as we re-write the game plan.
The key is to have real empathy for the players: the people who are bringing your strategy to life. When we take steps that make their lives easier and empower them to contribute—even as the game plan changes—that's when we'll realize the full potential of our strategy investment.

A video of a woman grabbing a carton of Blue Bell out of the freezer, licking it, and putting it back went viral last week. It was one of several videos showing what appear to be teenagers or college aged students that has made the rounds on the internet.
. . .
She's not going to be laughing anymore.
. . .
Apparently, police have identified her and are just doing the final box checking before they bring her in
. . .
Even the minimums in this case are no joke. While it may seem a bit overboard to some, there are reason prison time and a large fine are part of the punishment in this case. Because the video didn't make clear where this happened at, stores were forced to remove all Blue Bell cartons of that size and possible flavor across the state of Texas. The investigation into this went all the way from San Antonio to Houston.
Food tampering, especially used to produce a viral video, is serious given the public health risks and I expect that this woman will be made an example of. There's also another person in the video who's telling her to lick it that also will need to be looked at.
link to RedState
My comment:
This video has been haunting me--which is exactly what the licker wanted. Her "pride" and "satisfaction" with her action is evident in the video. I'm looking forward to seeing a photo of her in prison orange.
I usually don't do cartoons that give me the jibblies, but I have one in my mind that I might. First panel: "Licker" in line for prison lunch. Server in hairnet asks, "what do you want for dessert, cake or ice cream?" Licker answers: Ice cream. 2nd panel: Server in hairnet grabs an individual carton, removes the top, licks it, and puts it on the "Licker's" tray.

In a throwback to the golden days of football, before Financial Fair Play, AC Milan has announced that it had a €126m loss for last season under the ownership of Li Yonghong. That was €53m more than Milan lost in the previous year.
Revenue grew from €212m to €255m, but that included player trading. Even with the 20% increase in revenue, Milan still missed that is still less than €273m that the ownership group had projected.
Milan's expenses kept pace with the growth in revenue, rising 22.7% of €354m, up from €273.9m.
It was not the bad financial results that upset UEFA's FFP group. It was the pie-in-the-sky projections from former Milan CEO Marco Fassone.
Fassone's projections were to so bad that UEFA denied Milan both a voluntary agreement and a settlement agreement on Financial Fair Play.
To reach the €273 in projected revenue, Fassone's business plan had predicted €99m from broadcast rights – excluding UEFA – €23m from match day revenue, €61m from sponsorship and marketing and €90m from the Chinese market, later expanded to include the whole Asian market in the second plan presented to UEFA.
The plan was to reach €524m in the 2021-22 season, with 45% of that revenue coming from China. A huge number.
To get to €524m Milan would have had to grown its revenue by 21.7% a year. By comparison, Juventus – seen as the gold standard off the pitch for Serie A clubs – have grown by an average of 12 per cent between 2011 and 2016.
UEFA's skepticism over Fassone's business plan proved to be well founded though, with only €606,000 in revenue from China for 2017-18, rather than the projected €90m.
The first business plan presented to UEFA for a voluntary agreement was dismissed as unrealistic, but the governing body allowed Fassone and the board to submit a new one.
Calcio e Finanza states that the first plan projected €19m net income from China, and the second – which was also rejected – €8.8m.
In the final submission for a settlement agreement the figure had fallen to zero.

How Blogging Has Helped Me Overcome My Inhibitions
Back before I started blogging, I used to be so self-conscious. I used to hate posing for photos in public, I never used to wear any revealing outfits, and I used to sneakily take photos of my coffee because I didn't want to attract attention to myself. Now, 10 months later,…View Post

I called the Denton branch with an emergency for a new front tyre, within 10 mins I was booked in and was having my tyre changed, whilst the car was up I was notified about 2 other tyres that was close to the legal limit and some tracking that also needed doing.
Sam the manager was excellent, everything was done asap! sorted everything for me at a great price, proper nice guy to deal with, I've always had misconceptions with the larger garages, but I will definitely be back here. Thanks again

4.5 out of 5
Took slightly longer than I expected but having had done what I did, in retrospect, I suppose the wait wasn't too bad but was looked after by Sam very well.
Very friendly and prompt service. The car was put on the ramp and the fault found that needed a new part was discovered within minutes. The part was ordered and estimate given for the job to be done on following monday at 10a.m. Sam King supervised the job on the monday and it was completed on time and to my complete satisfaction. MANY THANKS TO SAM AND HIS TEAM.
So helpful thanks guys
Very efficient and prompt.
I visited the Denton branch and was fitted in straight away. The tyres I wanted were ordered from the supplier but unfortunately we're delayed, although this was out of nationals control. When the tyres did arrive, they were fitted quickly. The whole thing took about an hour and a half which I thought was ok considering I had just turned up without a booked time slot!
Knowledgeable and efficient.Speedy and polite.
Done a good job at a reasonable price
All staff courteous and efficient. Car ready 10 minutes after time specified due to paperwork requirements.
Good service

3 very pleasant guys working here this morning
Open good hours and open sunday
quick and easy visit,in and out
I have used this centre in Denton once before, where there was 4 staff members. The staff have always been attentive and polite. When I went on the 9th March 2017 the centre was extremely busy. I asked for the manager Simon who I had previously spoken to on my first visit some months ago? I was informed that he was now working at another branch. I asked for Aaron who I had also spoken to arrange my MOT the previous day. He was on holiday. The centre previously had 4 staff and was now running with 2?! The lads were working flat out, the phone was constantly ringing, customers were coming in/going out, parts were being delivered, but even though they were under such pressure they were extremely polite, attentive to customers and acknowledged people who were even just enquiring. When they finished anything, they attended to the customer then immediately went back to there work and continued to update customers who were patiently waiting. They apologised for the delays and even when the phone went, it was not ringing long before they answered. They calmly answered the phone saying the company name and who they were. This was not done in a aggressive manor even though it was apparent they were working under extremely stressed circumstances. When I was leaving I thanked Mike who attended to me? I have usually gone to halfords in Glossop where I live, but have always found there prices increase, even though I go for one thing, they always tell me I need something else? With the Denton branch, I feel confident that when I previously visited some months ago my tyres were checked and I was informed they were legally ok. I was advised to keep my eye on them, but didn't feel pressurised into buying something, that wasn't needed? It has made me feel that national tyres at Denton, I can trust and feel good workman ship, attentive mechanics and their extreme politeness and no bad language, even though the pressure was on is commendable and I shall definitely inform people to go there in future! I will continue to go, but really feel Mike and the other lad working with him that I think was called Pete should be given a large pay bonus/reward and pat on the back. They didn't loose one single customer that day and the centre was bursting!! Everyone who came was spoken to in a professional and polite manner! Hats off to them I was very impressed and I hope you are able to reward them for this?!!! I really wanted you to know how hard they were working and to get help for them too! I look forward to my next visit probably to buy my tyres! But please thank the lads very much!

The service you get from the guys at this centre is excellent,nothing is a problem for them and they try to get you sorted as quickly as possible.Since steve took over this centre i have to say i will allways use national.The jobs get done by all the staff very well.
Poor customer service.had 3 new tyres fitted.after 2500 miles front tyres were wearing significantly.took car back to be told it was my suspension at fault.this was checked & deemed to be fine.it was in fact the tracking that was out.your operative never even suggested this. So having spent£420 on the tyres it has now cost me £85 to have the alignment done.
Friendly staff and quick turn around of the problem
This score is because i have always gone to this centre in denton,but since a Mr Steven Daughtry has been there i have told friends to go hear because steven listens to you and shows respect to the customer.since he has done jobs on my car even if i have had a little problem with it later he always tries to help,if it was not for him i think i would change where i get my car fixed,great person to have in this centre so dont ship him off to any other,kudos to you for having him in this centre.

I recently visited the branch at Crown Point, Denton to get two new tyres. This is the third time I have visited this branch and have always been satisfied with the service received.
They ordered the part, called me when it was in, fixed it at short notice. Very easy, quick and straight forward. & friendly service.
I visited National Tyres in Denton with my car after taking my daughter there for tyres after a service advisory note.The service we received and the fact that they picked up on stuff that the service had missed was impressive enough, but today on attending with my vehicle I have been blown away by the level of courtesy and service you Denton team has provided.I honestly have not experienced this level of service before and its amazing. I have been a previous customer for tyres and always been extremely satisfied but its a revelation to experience the mechanical side of your operation. I shall be going back with and both my daughters will. Your honesty, professionalism, courtesy, respect and service aside from the mechanical work, speed, parts, and price cannot be bettered. At Denton branch your team cannot be bettered.They are EXCELLENT!
Convenient Sunday opening and tyres were in stock.
Easy to book appointment

they were very helpful and explained exacly what the problem was
Went in with a punctured tyre & because of the visual check was made aware of not only the pads but the disc's as well. The price was a bit of a shock & I know I could have gone elsewhere cheaper, but STUART LEE did NOT push for me to buy from national tyres but suggested that it needed doing asap. And he even makes a good cup of coffee

|This is just a tiny fraction of the actual number of gifts under our tree when
Christmas day arrived
The annual Christmas reunion with the rest of our Tan Clan had to be planned way, way ahead because there are now so many of us. Before, we used to meet in one family member's house but it has become impossible now because we won't fit in just one house. So, we rented out a resort in Marikina and a simple get together turned out to be a swimming outing with lots of gift-giving and a lot more of eating!
|My impatient son who couldn't wait until it's time for exchanging gifts
|Bonding with his cousin Jared
|Swim time with Daddy
|Tan Family (minus more members)
We left the resort around three in the afternoon and went to our next reunion with my father's side of the family - the Yboa Clan.
|My parents with Papa's sister Tita Menia
|Skype time with our cousin Kuya Ariel who's living in the US
|Johan clapping his hands after playing his "masterpiece" on the piano
|Christmas ain't Christmas without Tita Menia's delicious handa which we look forward to every year
|Our family minus my brother Pao (Jeddah) and my brother RJ and his family (celebrating his wife's birthday
with the rest of his wife's side of the family)
|With some of the Yboa girls
Christmas will always be my favorite occasion. Aside from all the yummy food and the overflowing gifts, the time we spent with family is priceless and truly the best blessing I will forever be thankful for.

Raw Organic Honey x 3 Lb
Product Dimensions and Weight
Product Weight: 3.0000LB
Our Organic Raw Honey is made through a natural process, when a worker bee extracts nectar from a flower the bee carries it to the Bee Hive (Colmena) to be stored in Beehive Wax to be food for the hive and as it evaporates it becomes pure raw honey. Honey is a very strong source of carbohydrates which come from its Glucose and Fructose content (naturally of course). La Colmena's organic bee honey is never adultered with outside sugars and is simply natural honey in its purest form. Try some today!

The UCC Emergency Care Society last week announced the launch of the country's very first student-run and student-led community first responders team. The launch comes as part of a collaboration between the Emergency Care Society, the Student's Union, the Pre-Hospital Emergency Care Council and the National Ambulance Service.
Community First Responders (CFR) teams are a nationwide initiative first established in 2014 by the National Ambulance Service to aid victims in the time between an incident taking place and an ambulance arriving on the scene. They are only called during cases where an individual suffers from Chest Pain, Breathing difficulty, Choking, Stroke or Cardiac difficulties outside of a hospital setting. It's during these instances when a quick response (i.e. initiating CPR or the Heimlich Maneuver) is crucial to an individual's survival. Since 2016, there has been 2389 cases of cardiac arrests outside of a hospital. In 84% of cases, CPR was quickly initiated by a bystander, or a member of the local CFR Team.
The new UCC CFR team are under the leadership of the National Ambulance Service, like every other CFR group in the country. The new group shall cover a 1km radius surrounding UCC. This radius stretches from Dennehy's Cross to St. Finbarrs Cathedral, and from the Mardyke Arena to the Lough. The group will be working using the National Ambulance Service's text alert system. This system means that if an incident occurs within the groups 1km radius, the two members rostered to be on call will be alerted by text that there is an issue as soon as an individual calls the ambulance to report a problem .Rather than using cars, the Bike Shed have donated two bicycles for the team's members to use when they are on call. The Student's Union has also funded a state-of-the-art AED (Automated External Defibrillator) for the team to use during emergencies.
At the time of writing, there is currently 35 students signed up to the join the team. 19 have been Garda-vetted and CPR trained and are ready for the groups launch, while 16 have yet to complete their training. Each day is divided into two shifts. Shift one begins at 9:00 am. and concludes at 5:00 pm, while shift two begins at 5:00 pm and continues until 9:0 am the following morning. One group, made up of two members of the team, will be rostered to cover each shift. The hope is that the team will receive only one text every fortnight, though the team are prepared to cover any number of texts they may receive. Currently, the group is only trained to cover incidents of cardiac arrest and choking, however it is hoped that if the group is a success in the coming months and years that they would advance to cover both chest pains and strokes. It is also hoped that the group will be able to extend their 1km radius if it proves a success.
Speaking at the CFR teams official launch, the Emergency Care Society's Chairperson ,Kathryn Lesko, was quick to note that the groups launch wasn't all plain sailing, saying "I still don't believe it's happening. It's been a year and a half of fighting every single obstacle. Everyone we asked has come up with a reason why we shouldn't be doing it and there was always something scary, another obstacle, but we've always jumped through all the hoops and put out all the fires". It has only been two weeks since the group got the official go- ahead from UCC administration, with Lesko pointing out "the official all-clear from the UCC administration was buying us the AED. The Student's Union bought us that as they figured that until we had electricity they [UCC] had control over us, and we purchased that two weeks ago".Despite the difficulties faced in launching the group, Lesko is just thrilled to have the team ready to go, "There's a need for it in the UCC area. There is such a high population and there are only six ambulances on call at any one time for Cork county, so there's not enough. We identified the need and got a fantastic response from students looking to help and here we are, ready to start".
UCC's CFR team will finally begin taking texts from Thursday November 1st.

In my announcement about my rebrand, I shared how the name and tagline were formed. In this article, I will share the other details that are involved in a rebrand. Moreover, I delve into how/why it takes a community to undergo such a transformation. Women in recovery are no strangers to leaning on a village. Let's face it, no one transforms alone and better yet, why would you? It's so much more fun together.
If anyone has a brand and now realizes it's time to change it, hopefully, these tips will help you.

When we talk about Writing, the conversation will inevitably steer itself toward Genre. But what is Genre?
Merriam-Webster.com defines Genre this way:
1: a category of artistic, musical, or literary composition characterized by a particular style, form, or content
2: kind, sort
3: painting that depicts scenes or events from everyday life usually realistically
Pretty dry, huh? Well, let's translate this into something a little more relatable to those of us who don't specialize in writing dictionaries.
In my opinion, there is a handful of times where a writer has to worry about defining what genre their work goes in.
The First is when someone asks, and they inevitably do, what kind of story they've written. We could go into enthusiastic explanations about the characters, the plot, the action that's taking place, but after a few dozen or hundred times, that gets old very fast. So, we do what any normal person who gets tired of answering the same question over and over again: We go for a stock answer because that's what's generally expected. It's one thing to go into detail over a particular story, but when you use a tag like Science Fiction or Mystery, people instantly get it. It's amazing how quickly the topic of conversation goes to something like cats or good food when that happens.
Another time is when you are approaching a publisher or agent with your work. Marketing is an important tool when finding a home for your work. Publishers and Agents don't have a lot of time for long pitch conversations as they receive about tens of thousands of queries and manuscripts every year. So, you have to get in and out quick, grab their attention, and hope for the best. Placing your work within a particular genre streamlines the process and lets everyone involved know exactly what's what.
How many literary genres are there? That's a tough question because the list is like The Universe: Ever Expanding at an accelerated rate. Add to that expansion that some genres, like Fantasy and Horror, can start as a sub-genre of another, like Science Fiction, and expand to a level where it becomes a full-fledged genre in its own right. Of course, there are also contractions that can place due to cultural changes and popular tastes. I feel that Satire is one of those that grew to enormous popularity in the 1970s, then shrank as audience preferences changed.
Anyway, to sum it all up, Genre is simply a type or category. It's a name plate or a coat of paint. It doesn't change anything about the story except who may be reading it.
