A Psychological Approach to Entrepreneurship
Selected Essays of Dean A. Shepherd
Dean A. Shepherd
Chapter 12: A Hubris Theory of Entrepreneurship
Mathew L.A. Hayward, Dean A. Shepherd and Dale Griffin
A good theory of entrepreneurship should explain the supply of ventures, which depends on the formation of new ventures and the exit, including failure of exisitng ones. It is puzzling and intriguing that so many ventures start in the presenve of the alarmingly high rates of venture failure (e.g., 574,300 firms were started, or made their first sale, in the United States in 2000; see Shock et al. 2003).

The establishment of a Communist government in China after World War II, caused the Russian communities of such major cities as Harbin, Shanghai, Peking etc. to leave the country in the late 1940s and 1950s and settle in Australia, the United States and South America.
Throughout the early 1960s, Russian families from the Chinese provinces were being caught up in the Cultural Revolution and evicted from the lands they occupied since the early 1930s. These people, mainly Cossack families who did not wish to live under the Bolsheviks, settled in Singkiang Province, China's most western province, and Northern Manchuria. Many of these people returned to the Soviet Union, but others were able to migrate to the West, especially Australia.
Upon arrival in Australia, Russian migrants from Trehrechie were able to successfully settle into such existing parishes as Geelong, Cabramatta and Rocklea. However those coming from Singkiang Province, China's most western region, whilst in the main settling in Dandenong, did not become an integral part of the Melbourne parish. At first, some of the new arrivals joined the church choir and children attended the Melbourne parish school; however, it soon became evident that the cultural differences of this predominantly rural group precluded it becoming part of the more urbanised Melbourne community.
The Right Reverend Anthony Medvedev, Bishop of Melbourne, suggested that the new arrivals should retain their own traditions by setting up their own community. This became a reality in 1962 when the bishop arranged that clergy from the Melbourne parish would visit Dandenong, where the majority of the migrants had settled, and celebrate Divine services for them on the spot. At first services were held in private houses and then a more permanent place was found in the garage of the Metlenko family, where services were held for a number of years.
Archbishop Anthony Medvedev
Bishop of Melbourne
Bishop Anthony celebrated the first service in Dandenong himself, and thereafter Fr Tychon Kiryczuk and Fr Dimitry Simonow came, taking turns. The first church warden became Peter Ivanovich Metlenko. In 1963 a group of migrants from Trehrechie also settled in Dandenong and boosted the numbers of the community. By 1964 the community was able to buy two blocks of land in Morwell Avenue, Dandenong South for 1,600 pounds.
Dandenong Parish of the Russian Orthodox Church (Abroad)
The Church of Our Lady's Dormition is a legal entity registered in February 1971, under the Religious and Successory Trust Act of the Parliament of the State of Victoria as, "The Dandenong Parish of the Russian Orthodox Church (Abroad)." (Register of Successory Trusts under Part II, Folium 637).
The parish is governed under the provisions of the Normal Parish By-laws approved by the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church outside of Russia in 1551 and 1955.
The Trustees of the parish are ex officio:
1. The Ruling Bishop of the Australian and New Zealand Diocese appointed by the Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox outside of Russia,
2. The Parish Rector, appointed by the Ruling Bishop,
3. The Church Warden (Starosta) elected by the parishioners for a three year term,
4. The Parish Secretary elected by the parishioners for a one year term,
5. The Parish Treasurer elected by the parishioners for a one year term.
The Parish Council,
under the chairmanship of the Rector, oversees the daily operations of the parish life in accordance with the Normal Parish By-laws. The Council consists of the Rector all other clergy appointed to the Dormition church, the Church Warden, Secretary, Treasurer, the Senior Sister of the Ladies Auxiliary, the choirmaster and the four other elected members.

Currently the website features music download gift cards and specials for portable MP3 players.

"The focus is really on our customers and offering more choice in their music selection," said Amy Colella, Walmart.com's manager of corporate communications.
Wal-Mart's Music Downloads will compete directly with the established players, such as Apple's iTunes Store and Roxio's Napster. Apple announced on March 15 it had sold 50 million songs since launching the service in April 2003. The company has predicted that it will reach the 100 million mark by the end of the year. The iTunes service sells songs for 99 cents. Roxio's Napster announce on February 23 that it sell over five million downloads since it launched in October 2003. The Napster service also sells songs for 99 cents.
"One of the enhancements was to the search-and-browse functionality. In addition to that, we're offering 24/7 email and phone support, which is particular helpful for novice users," Colella said.
One of the main marketing pushes on all fronts has been the service's content exclusivity. Wal-Mart announced that music label Curb Records, home of country acts like The Judds, LeAnn Rimes and Pat Boone, is making its songs available exclusively at Walmart.com for the next two months. Napster recently provided exclusive songs from CBS's Star Search adult singer finalists Freedom Bremner, Vicki Natale and Jake Simpson. Apple announced back in 2004 that it signed up independent labels Matador, Kill Rock Stars and SpinART.
"We have great content right now. Our exclusive content is very compelling to our customers. We will also continue to add to and grow the music selection," Colella said.

A snapshot of matt g
As a photographer, I spend a lot of time behind the camera and very little time in front of the lights. Actually, that's not true - I spend a huge amount of time in front of the lights while things get set up, tried out and worked out, but those shots almost always get deleted straight away. However, this shot – taken by Trevor, the photography assistant – was quite a nice one, so why not put it up on the blog? That's one of the good things about photography blogs – you can put up shots that are not technically perfect or, like this one, where the subject isn't exactly a supermodel.

Battlestar Galactica: My 10 Favorite Episodes
To me, BSG represents science fiction at its finest. Questions about the nature of humanity lie at the core of all great sci-fi, and Battlestar raises those questions and runs with them from the very first. It's a perfect blend of drama, action and ideas, and the whole story is anchored by a phenomenal cast of characters ("So say we all!"). It earned a well-deserved reputation for being the most approachable sci-fi show on the air, maybe ever. There are no aliens, no lasers, no one getting beamed up. You could watch an episode for several minutes before realizing you had tuned in to a sci-fi show.
I could count the noticeably weak episodes on one hand, but even those have strong moments. It's much more difficult to narrow down the greatest, but here's my best shot. For what it's worth, these are my 10 favorite episodes of my favorite TV series.
Note: What follows could accurately be described as downright spoilery, so if you haven't finished the entire series, proceed with extreme caution. Actually, scratch that; if you haven't finished the series, don't proceed until you have.
Season 2 hits a minor slump with "Black Market" and "Scar" back to back, but it all comes roaring back with "Downloaded." Up until this point, viewers have more questions than answers about Cylon resurrection, but this episode gives great insight into the Cylons, and Caprica Six and Boomer's unexpected friendship works. Also, the revelation that Caprica Six sees visions of Gaius just as the real Gaius sees visions of her is a masterstroke.
There's a lot going on in this episode. Starbuck finally rescues Anders, Gaius defeats Laura Roslin in the presidential election, and Chief Tyrol seeks counseling from everyone's favorite atheist priest Cylon. Most important is what happens in the final 15 minutes. For a story as tightly-knit as this to be able to jump forward one year and make it work shows great writing. When Gaius surrenders with tears on his face, it solidifies one of the series' boldest twists.
BSG's darkest and saddest hour, this episode shows just how crushing the discovery of a devastated Earth would be. Adama breaks down, Laura burns her scriptures, and Kara burns her body, but it's ultimately Dualla's suicide that hurts the most. Earth was all these people had to hope for, and watching the collected dreams of humanity shatter makes for gut-wrenching, powerful television. Throw in the revelation of the final Cylon, and you've got one of the series' best episodes.
I know, I know; not everyone enjoyed the finale as much as I did and for understandable reasons, but there's no denying that this episode has tremendous moments. The assault on the Cylon Colony is one hell of an action sequence. We finally see the opera house prophecy fulfilled. The scenes on Earth II are gorgeous and come as a relief after years of darkness and cramped corridors. Ultimately, it's the character moments that make this send-off so great. When Gaius chokes up telling Caprica Six, "I know about farming," it gives unexpected but perfect closure to one of my all-time favorite characters. Also, fans had long wondered what could possibly matter so much about Hera, and making her essential to our species' evolution was a pretty clever answer.
Yet again, Battlestar astounds with great writing. The discovery of another surviving ship plays out with painful realism as joy turns to concern and then to hostility. Admiral Caine represents what Adama could have become without the people he had around him. In the wake of the Cylon attack, Adama had his son, his best friend, and the President affecting his decisions, but Caine didn't have anyone to stop her from putting military concerns above all else. It's a chilling episode (the beginning of a chilling trilogy of episodes), and it ends on one of the series' best cliffhangers, with Adama telling Caine over the phone, "I'm getting my men."
Note: Extended versions of BSG episodes are hit and miss, but this extended version plays even better than the original.
I almost put "Occupation" on this list, which is the first of the New Caprica episodes. Kara using her napkin to daintily wipe her mouth with Leoben's blood still on her hands is a pretty fantastic opening, but "Exodus" is ultimately the better episode. Galactica's jump into the atmosphere makes for one of the show's best action scenes, and the character moments are heartbreaking. In the final minutes, Adama tells Tigh, "We brought 'em home, Saul," and Tigh's voice cracks as he responds, "Not all of them." Gaeta walks around the deck looking totally shell-shocked. The ultimate punch in the gut comes when Kacey's mother takes her daughter from Kara's arms; it's remarkable storytelling, and it tells the viewers that New Caprica was much more than just a four-episode distraction. In ways both big and small, the characters are never the same again.
These are technically two episodes, but I think I can get away with cheating here as they play very much like two parts of a whole. Zarek and Gaeta's mutiny makes for some of the most suspenseful, riveting television I've ever seen. I love that their characters join for this task, but each ultimately realizes that he made a mistake in partnering with the other. My heart breaks when Gaeta looks around the Quorum room at the bloodshed and says, "What have you done? We had the truth on our side." It breaks again when Gaeta gives his final interview with Baltar who tells him, "I know who you are, Felix." When Gaeta looks up from his itching leg right before his death and says, "It stopped," it's just perfect. In the midst of the drama, Adama and Roslin's love story also deepens as their faith in each other allows Adama to retake the ship. Battlestar always nailed its suspenseful episodes, but never more so than here.
On paper, this episode shouldn't work half as well as it does. The narrative cuts between flashbacks of New Caprica and a boxing match (I would guess this was a hard concept to pitch), but the storytelling is tight and downright raw. We knew something bad had gone down between Apollo and Starbuck, but we didn't know what. We feel Apollo's pain when he tells Anders, "Good luck, Sam; you're gonna need it." The episode's final image shows Apollo and Starbuck's entire relationship in miniature as they embrace, smeared with sweat and blood, whispering sweet nothings into each other's ears.
Note: This episode demonstrates the vital importance of editing, as the extended version released on video adds 25 extra minutes which completely wreck the pacing and narrative flow.
Series creator Ronald D. Moore cites "33" as his favorite episode, and it's very nearly my favorite as well. Most shows ease viewers in gradually, but BSG's first episode after the miniseries drops right in the middle of a crazy situation. The Cylons have the Fleet on the run, and our characters haven't slept in five days. Gaius' visions of his home back on Caprica add unexpected color and visual variety, while tensions in the fleet run higher and higher. We also catch up with Helo, adding another layer of intrigue. It's dark, thought-provoking, character driven, suspenseful, and brilliantly executed. In many ways, "33" set the tone for the entire series.
Who would have guessed that on a sci-fi show about the near-annihilation of the human race, the dramatic pinnacle would be a courtroom drama? Mark Sheppard nearly steals the show in a guest appearance as Baltar's lawyer, Romo Lampkin, building to that splendid moment where he leaves his cane and walks away. The reveal of four of the Final Five Cylons comes as a shock, as does hearing Bear McCreary's cover of Bob Dylan's "All Along the Watchtower." Upon learning that he's a Cylon, Tigh responds just as you would expect: "My name is Saul Tigh; I'm an officer of this fleet. Whatever else I am, that's the man I want to be." Starbuck's post-mortem appearance is less shocking but still powerful. The greatest moment for me comes in Lee's decisive defense of Baltar. You just know he's right, and you know everyone else in the courtroom is thinking the same thing. "This case is built on emotion: on anger, bitterness, vengeance, but most of all, it's built on shame. It's about the shame of what we did to ourselves back on that planet, and it's about the guilt of those of us who ran away." Any of these elements would stand out were they in other episodes, but the fact that they all happen in the same epic season finale makes "Crossroads" my favorite episode of the series.

The Avengers
Loki (Tom Hiddleston), Thor's exiled brother, comes to Earth from outer space to rule over humanity. He brings an alien army, so S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) executes "The Avenger Initiative," bringing together Earth's greatest heroes to combat the otherwise unstoppable foes. The team includes Captain America (Chris Evans), who is still adjusting to modern times having been frozen in ice since the 1940's, Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo), who occasionally undergoes the unfortunate physical transformation of becoming The Hulk, Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), and famed industrialist Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), also known as Iron Man.
Joss Whedon's involvement was the best thing that ever happened to this movie. The creator of beloved TV series such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly, Whedon has demonstrated great ability to juggle multiple characters and make them work as a team, which was the exact skill-set needed here. In two hours and twenty minutes, Whedon's script somehow fits in just the right amounts of humor, action and character work. Every character receives adequate screen time, including side characters who haven't previously been given much depth, like Hawkeye, Black Widow, Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg), and even Nick Fury himself. The Avengers isn't perfect (Loki isn't much of a villain, for instance), but given the tremendous difficulty of the task, Whedon deserves a whole lot of credit.
Four of the Avengers team members have previously carried their own films, though you don't have to have seen them to enjoy this one. While the idea of getting them all together for one movie sounds great in theory, a single movie with that many big characters could easily have bombed. Whedon's script is so balanced, but this group of actors also has great chemistry. The standout performance comes from Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk. Eric Bana and Edward Norton have played this character previously, but neither of those Hulk films got it right. Ruffalo's Bruce Banner is sympathetic and likable, and his dialogue adds new insight into his character's struggles, exploring the relationship between his normal self and his invincible alter ego.
While the character development is top notch for this sort of movie, all of the action you would hope to see in an Avengers movie is delivered ten fold. The Avengers fight each other several times, making for some fun, explosive arguments (pun intended), and when the all-out battle arrives in act three, nothing is held back. It's actually hard to imagine how a sequel could top the quality of these action scenes. I especially loved a long tracking shot in which each character is shown employing his/her unique abilities in battle. Each character had a moment or line of dialogue that left the crowd cheering at the opening night screening I attended, though the Hulk's interaction with Loki stole the show.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe has spun into this one picture, and now it will spin back out with continued sequels; there's never been a multi-film project quite like it. Marvel took a big gamble investing so much in these movies, and it paid off. At this point, The Avengers 2 and 3 are inevitable, though I wouldn't want to follow Joss Whedon's act. Heck, I'm not even sure Whedon will want to follow his own act. For decades, fans have dreamed of how cool it would be to see all of these characters together onscreen, and The Avengers cashes in on the full potential of its idea.
For the Parents:
MPAA: Rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action throughout, and a mild drug reference
This is pure Marvel, comic book action. The only upsetting bits involve the death of a friendly character and a scene where Loki removes a man's eye, or maybe he just retinal scans it? It's not clear exactly what he does, as it happens off screen in a blood-free manner. The action is high-adrenaline and fast-paced but not graphic. If you've seen any of the five Marvel tie-in movies, the tone of the action and violence are similar in The Avengers.

Several companies have instituted policies related to the use of social media. I've met people in the insurance and financial service industries who are not allowed to have Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn accounts. In some cases, the company is afraid that employees could give advice or make statements that would open the company to litigation. In other cases, disgruntled employee has post rants about their boss or company. Employees have been fired for making disparaging comments or violating policies. Be careful about what you post on line. Don't let a moment of anger or the need to give advice cost you a job.

Even though we have integrated authentication for accounts, user provisioning still needs to occur in every system independently.
Windows/Active Directory
The Windows IT staff takes care of this. At the time of writing, all users are deleted and recreated at the beginning of every school year. Sysadmins (starting with the graduating class of 2006) are moved into a separate ou (organizational unit) before this occurs and will have their accounts preserved, but passwords are still subject to expire annually.
UNIX accounts
The update_nssldap.sh script (authored by William Yang; see NSS LDAP) will handle user provisioning in AFS and NSS LDAP. It depends on Identity Synchronization for Windows (ISW) to be working properly. Because of the way AD accounts are recreated every year, it is recommended to follow this procedure when it is time to create accounts every fall. The idsync command below is part of ISW and is located in /opt/SUNWisw/bin on the ISW server (usually the primary NSS LDAP server). All idsync commands are required to have options -D -w -q. For our purposes, we use -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w - -q -
- Have a /admin credential
- Be added as a user on the AFS servers (bos adduser <server> <username>.admin)
- Know/have ready the NSS Manager password
Account Creation
- Stop ISW synchronization (
idsync stopsync -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w - -q -)
- Reassociate accounts (
idsync resync -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w - -q -)
- Restart ISW synchronization (
idsync startsync -D 'cn=Directory Manager' -w - -q -)
- Run update_nssldap.sh script (make sure you've read the section on this script in NSS LDAP!). Make a backup (backup.sh) before and after running this script, just in case.
If accounts are not deleted and recreated in AD anymore, or there are only a handful of new accounts added that need to be provisioned in NSS LDAP and AFS (for example, staff or late registering students), just run the update_nssldap.sh script (you should still read the relevant section of NSS LDAP).
Individual Account Provisioning
Simple Check for User Existence
A simple way to check if a user already has an account is to check to see if their home directory exists. If access denied is returned or you are able to change to their home directory, the home directory exists. Otherwise, the home directory probably doesn't exist.
cd ~<username>
Creating AFS User
First, you need to create an AFS user account. Make sure you are authenticated with your /admin principal.
pts createuser <username>
The command should give an output similar to:
User <username> has id 12345678
If the user already has an AFS user account, run the following command in order to obtain an ID.
pts examine <username>
Creating LDAP User
Next, you need to add the account to LDAP. First, generate an LDIF file using the guide at NSS LDAP Templates. Run the command below after you have created an LDIF file.
ldapadd -h openldap1 -Y GSSAPI -f <ldif file>
Below is an example LDIF file. Make sure you replace first name, last name, uidNumber, and graduation year!

This is handled by a data import module, currently "newimport." A SASI dump is involved for students. Student data import must currently be handled by a member of the IT staff or the sysadmin sponsor due to privacy issues with student data in intranet. New staff are individually added by Mr. Washer using an interface in the newimport module.
/mnt/mail/mail.py will update accounts and account attributes, including quotas, based on data in AD. It should be run as root on all mail servers (currently casey and smith). Currently, accounts disabled or deleted in AD are disabled on the mail servers. See Email for more information on how this works.

What customers say about "Imaging"
Nikon COOLPIX P610 Digital Camera
- I really like this camera. It has great clarity even and the extended focal lengthes.
- Unless photography is a major hobby of yours and a focal point of each trip, this camera would be all anyone else needs, and with a little study on photo composition, can produce great images.
- Absolutely beautiful hi-resolution digital pictures with a minimum of effort. The lens has great optics with no spherical aberration at the extreme zoom.
- The auto settings work great but the manual settings take noticeably better pictures if you know how to use them—I once took a picture under my bed with a wide aperture and you could see everything as if there was daylight under there.
- It quickly burns out highlights in images with lots of contrast. Dial in a 1/2 stop underexposure. And don't expect razor sharp images at long focal lengths.
Canon PowerShot SX60 Digital Camera
- At short focal lengths everything is fine my wife has one of these for general photography and likes it a lot.
- This especially comes in handy for obtaining more stable shots than with a narrower focal length where every little movement becomes exponentially magnified.
- Fairly decent at high ISO settings, though not spectacular. For eagles and owls, I get better images at the lowest available f-stop, usually 5.7 to 6.3 depending on zoom.
- This auto ISO feature in the manual mode, allows one to set aperture and shutter and not worry about exposure because the ISO will adjust automatically.
- Even using a wide variety of ISO settings the pictures always seem to be quite grainy and not what I expected when I bought this camera.

What customers say about "Display"
Nikon COOLPIX P610 Digital Camera
- The ability to take pictures at odd angles because of the versatile lcd screen is wonderful.
- Really impressive at the higher end of the zoom in that screen seems fuzzy your hand is trying to be steady and then pressing 1/2 way down on shutter button it "locks" in to the target and you usually get a really impressive picture.
- There were two important things that I was looking for in a camera. The first one is that I knew that I wanted a view finder since I am blind in one eye and while looking at an LCD screen sometimes I cannot make out the picture.
- Fully adjustable screen, electronic view finder, ridiculous clarity at full zoom
- Before that, the LCD screen worked on and off from about 9 months to 11 months, but that did not matter too much since I was using the viewfinder and image stabilization.
Canon PowerShot SX60 Digital Camera
- High resolution, great zoom, easy to use, sharp photos.
- Resolution, light sensitivity and mega zoom are great features! It is also easy to use.
- Easy to use, easily changes from display to viewfinder
- Recommend, especially like the flexible viewfinder and the macro feature. Easy to follow movement with the auto-focus.
- The most favorite and useful for me in this camera is its Vari-angle LCD so I can take the pictures and videos in any angle.
- The viewfinder is very small. The screen is nice though.

What customers say about "Features"
Nikon COOLPIX P610 Digital Camera
- Operation of the camera can be very simple in full auto mode, and very complicated to the amateur in manual modes.
- The modes where you can take pictures of the clouds moving or people moving on a city street are WAY cool and easy to do.
- The photos are superb, I really enjoy playing with all the different modes, and WOW at the zoom!
- If you are in macro mode taking pictures, the focus doesn't always want to work at all. If you get really close (like right up on it) it will focus, but then your lens is totally obstructing the object so it has no lighting.
- Don't like the delay at the start of movie mode.
Canon PowerShot SX60 Digital Camera
- Shoots video as well as photos with true colors and both manual and auto shooting modes.
- The continuous shooting mode is super fast and I get great action shots.
- Some of the best pictures I've ever taken! The creative shot is one of my favorite modes to shoot in, I also love the zoom!
- The different light options are good, though I still got myself a white balance card so I could get the most accurate shots.
- They took things away: some "creative" modes, panorama stitching.
- Shutter speed is a bit slow compared to a Digital SLR but it is a good bridge camera.

Nikon COOLPIX P610 Digital Camera
- One of the other nice features of this camera is the built in wifi. I am able to connect my phone to it with the Nikon Wireless Management Utiity (free download).
- The Nikon 610 has so many more features that you will be enjoying exploring. One feature is the Wi-Fi. You can connect with your cell phone and download images.
- I love the Wifi feature and the NFC ability to tap my phone on the camera and pass pictures over the air.
- Huge down point: whenever the camera is turned off or even goes to sleep, you lose the connection, and have to link up all over again, sometimes with errors because the phone still sees the previous connection.
- Charging the camera: The manual states you have to use the USB cable that came with the camera. If you use other cables it "could result in overheating or damage to the camera".
Canon PowerShot SX60 Digital Camera
- The only extra items I carry are extra batteries and SD cards. While my friends are busy changing lenses to get that far away bird, I just touch my zoom button!
- Easy to use, good quality pictures, and connection to mobile device functionality is great.
- The zoom is quite awesome even without a tripod. It does easily connect, even with our lousy internet service, to my network and quickly transfers to my smartphone. I
- If anything is attached to the tripod socket I cannot access the battery/memory card compartment.
- The only reason I am not giving this camera 5 stars is because you cannot access the battery/memory card while its mounted on a tripod.

What is The Foodbank Project?
The Foodbank Project is a not-for-profit, self-sustaining online shop that makes it easy for anyone to donate groceries to Kiwis in need.
How does it work?
As a donor at The Foodbank Project, you can choose from a range of products that are critically needed for food parcels including fresh produce, meat and dairy, pantry staples, as well as personal care and cleaning items.
You can shop either through our key product categories, bundles, or most needed collections to select the item or items you would like to donate. You can make your donation a one-off or give on a recurring basis; weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
Countdown will then pack your order along with others received from your community and deliver it to the nearest Salvation Army foodbank hub to include in their food parcels.
Why donate?
Each week thousands of struggling Kiwis are helped by food parcels giving them a hand up when they need it most. There are all sorts of people living week-to-week who need help when confronted by an unexpected setback.
By redirecting the money clients would normally spend on groceries, to target one-off costs or debt, we can help vulnerable individuals and families get on top of their living costs.
With The Foodbank Project, you know exactly what your donation will be used for and can be confident your selection will reach people in need in a community near you. You'll receive a donation receipt and you'll be told when your order is delivered to your local foodbank. Your donations will help change lives for the better.
Where does it operate?
Donations made to The Foodbank Project are delivered to Salvation Army foodbank hubs in Whangarei, Glenfield, New Lynn, Waitakere, Royal Oak, Manukau, Papakura, Hamilton, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Porirua, Hutt, City, Nelson, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill. We will expand our network of hubs as donations increase allowing donors to benefit more local communities.
Our story
In 2015, in a first for New Zealand, The Salvation Army, Lucid, and Countdown teamed up to create a brand new online store where you can make a donation to cover the purchase of much-needed grocery items for a local Salvation Army foodbank.
Lucid founder Galen King came up with the idea after years of uncertainty about what items he and his wife should donate when they did their weekly shopping and finding out that donations were not meeting the increasing demand on local foodbanks.
In mid-2014, he whipped up a prototype which was enthusiastically received by The Salvation Army. Following further discussions with The Salvation Army and their Food Rescue Partner Countdown, the concept grew from a locally-focussed donation platform to an integrated, nationally-operating social enterprise which seamlessly connects donors with Countdown's online grocery store and Salvation Army foodbanks.
Major Pam Waugh of The Salvation Army explains that right from the start we were excited by the potential of Galen's smart idea and thrilled to have the support of Countdown to make it happen. "We have been amazed by the success of the initiative which has generated more than $500,000 in donations over the first two years. Every week donors make a vital contribution to maintaining our critical food parcel supplies. Without it, our shelves would be severely depleted making it difficult to provide the food parcels that so many individuals and families need."
Dave Chambers from Countdown says the organisation is proud to play a vital role in the initiative. "Our delivery team makes sure that every online donation gets safely and quickly to The Salvation Army's foodbanks, free of charge. Countdown is also providing The Salvation Army with a discount on the donated orders to help administer The Foodbank Project."

An extraordinary collection of seven rare and luxurious fragrances, inspired by the beauty of nature, always a major source of inspiration for Van Cleef & Arpels High Jewelry.
"To smell wood, to see its scent from a totally different angle, forget the idea of the forest, leaves, and earth, and picture it on a beach, floating in waves, and washing up on the sand. Driftwood warmed by the sun. I paired it with Ambergris andLabdanum to underscore the solar and sensual dimension of this wood. Iris and Vetiver bring out the texture and elegance of this fragrance."

- A Short-Term Programs teacher will contact you to discuss student needs, dates, and locations.

People On Twitter Were Bursting Out With Laughter Instead Of Bursting Crackers On Diwali!
In case, you've had to wake up and come to work, this might be the dose of laughter you need.
This was probably the most silent Diwali ever, well it was supposed to be, at least for Delhi. Which obviously gave us so many reasons to laugh. The janta on Twitter was too jobless and decided to dedicate their day for amusing and creative jokes. We love Twitterati even more now. Here are some of the gem of tweets from last night:

Launchpad Entry: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/newer-hotplug-subsystem
Created: 11-02-2005 by BenCollins
Packages affected: linux-source-2.6.*
Dapper kernel will be based on 2.6.15 in order to get use of new device driver model.
The current state of the hotpluf system, is a huge collection of custom rules and workarounds for things that the kernel lacks. With the new driver model changes in 2.6.15, much of the userspace code can be either removed or simplified.
Kernel in Dapper will need to be 2.6.15, and stabalized prior to Dapper release.
Currently, development is already under way for 2.6.15 upstream. With the current use of Git for the kernel, the kernel uploads will simply need to follow upstream Git, until such time as 2.6.15 is released as stable.
Most of the work is being done in udev, as described in the UdevRoadmap spec.
BoF agenda and discussion
Discussion was short. Most of the work is already being handled by the UdevRoadmap spec, and as such, there is nothing for the kernel, other than to follow it's existing development plan of shipping 2.6.15 with Dapper.
As such, this spec is informational only.

For the last couple of days my iPhone 6s has been shutting off at fairly high percentages (14% yesterday, 18% today). When I try to turn it back on, sometimes it will give me the low battery symbol, but other times it will turn back on. However, even if it does, it shuts off again very quickly.
Even before this started happening, I suspected something might be wrong with the battery because I would only average about 6 hours of battery life with normal usage, while a lot of people on this forum seem to be getting 7-8 hours. Additionally, I've had some weird problems with charging. Sometimes my phone would seem to be charging very slowly, so I would reset the phone and when it turned back on, it would be at a higher percentage than before (around 10% more). There doesn't seem to be any major problem with the discharging rate though.
Just a bit of background in case it might be relevant: When I first got my 6s, I restored from a backup of my old iPhone, but was encountering a bug with Siri so I restored as new. Even with this restore, like I mentioned before, my battery life has been somewhat suspect. Do you guys think that I have a problem with the battery, or should I just restore as new again? I'm somewhat reluctant because I have some saved game data that I don't want to lose, but if this is just a firmware glitch, I'll have to do it.
