System Requirements
- File servers with a configuration Windows Search Index
- Windows Server 2008 R2 / 2012 (R2) / 2016 / 2019 or newer
- enabled role Web Server (IIS) with the following additional features
- Windows-Authentication
- .NET Framework 4.7.2
The IT Search application was developed on .NET Framework 4.7.2 due to a change in a slightly earlier version that handles long paths within NTFS correctly. In Windows 2016 and earlier versions of Windows, .NET Framework 4.7.2 is not available through the Features and Roles installer respective the Server Manager, meaning you actually need to download and install the latest version of .NET Framework 4.7.2 to be able to run the IT Search web application.
Windows Search Index
This whole solution does not make much sense without DFS in place, cause users would be able to directly access the Windows Search Index if they use a mapped drive directly connected to the target file server rather then going through a single entry point for DFS names spaces.
If you wonder what DFS is and if it is right for you, take a look at this blog entry to learn more about how to set it up and what advantages DFS has.
Windows Search Index is something many people complain about. It is actually not so complicated if you set it up right and on top of it put proper monitoring on it. Both is described in various blog articles on this web site.
- install the IIS roles and features including Windows-Authentication on your target server
- install .NET Framework 4.7.2 on your target server
- download and extract the IT Search web application files to a path on the IIS server
- e.g. C:\ITSearch
- create an Active Directory user account that will run the IT Search web application
- this needs to be an Active Directory user because it will need to be able to read on the file server shares
- e.g. Domain\ITSearch
- open the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager on your server
- go to Application Pools and create a new Application Pool
- e.g. ITSearchPool
- chose Advanced Settings from the context menu of the new Application Pool
- set the Identity property to the Active Directory user you created earlier
- save the settings and restart the Application Pool
- right click on Sites and select Add Website…
- Site name – IT Search
- Application Pool – select the ITSearchPool you just created
- Physical Path – choose the path where you extracted the downloaded files to – C:\ITSearch
- Settings like Host name etc. are to be configured to your liking.
- Please note – if you do not specify a host name and want to use the server name directly, you might need to stop the Default Web Site.
- It is to recommended that you create an DNS alias entry for the server that hosts the web site like itsearch.domain.local and set the same name as host name for the new web site.
- You can use HTTPS as well if you want too – please note that you will need a valid certificate configuration for this. Please refer to the official manuals for IIS from Microsoft to find out more about this.
- go to Application Pools and create a new Application Pool
- open a web browser and access the URL of either the server or the DNS alias that you created
- Note: if you open a browser directly on the server you might need to start the browser as administrator in order to be able to access the configuration
- please refer to the configuration section of the online manual for more information about the next steps
In theory this is it. You now need to configure the IT Search web application and make the Search Providers available to your users. Please refer to the online manual for further details.

I know I haven't done a recipe in forever, and I'm sorry. I've had camera/picture downloading issues. But I'm back in action – or more accurately, my picture downloading is back in action.
For those who have planted zucchini in their gardens, and have an abundance with no idea of what to do with it, here's an idea: Chocolate Zucchini Cake. It's got chocolate, it's got zucchini, it's goes great à la mode! This recipe was adapted from my Death by Chocolate Cakes cookbook – made vegan and gluten-free by me. I do have to forewarn that this recipe doesn't take long to put together, but it does take some time in the oven – almost 2 hours! I know, I know. But I promise you..it will be worth the time spent in the oven. Mix it on a Sunday morning after breakfast, and by the time it bakes and cools, you'll have a perfect snack for afternoon tea. It's not too sweet (since I used bittersweet chocolate) or too savory. It's like a light cake-like quick bread (without the being quick part), with just enough sweetness from the chocolate chips to make it pleasing to the sweet tooth.
1 TBSP olive oil
3 C buckwheat flour (or oat, or regular all-purpose)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1.5 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 large zucchini (about 3/4 lb, washed and stem removed)
1.25 C turbinado sugar
1/4 C brown sugar
4 TBSP flaxseed in 1 C warm water
1.5 C canola oil
3 oz bittersweet baking chocolate, roughly chopped and melted on stovetop
2 C vegan chocolate chips (one 12 oz pack)
1. Preheat oven to 325. Liberally coat the inside of 9.5 X 4-inch nonstick angel food cake pan (or bundt perhaps) with the olive oil. Mix 4 TBSP flaxseed with 1 C warm water, set aside.
2. Place 3 oz bittersweet chocolate in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. *Keep an eye on it while continuing – you do NOT want to burn the chocolate.
3. In a sifter, combine 3 C flour, 2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1.5 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, and 1 tsp salt. Sift onto a large piece or parchment paper (or large bowl), and set aside.
4. Grate zucchini in a food processor (or box grater) with a medium grate disk. Set aside.
5. Place turbinado and brown sugar in large bowl. Pour in flaxseed+water combo. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed for 2 minutes. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides. With mixer on, slowly pour in 1.5 C canola oil.
6. Continue to mix until batter comes together, about 2-3 minutes.
Add melted chocolate and mix for 30 sec on medium speed.
7. Continue mixing on low and add in the dry ingredients – careful not to splash back all the flour once added, so add slowly. Mix until incorporated, about 1 minute.
8. Add the grated zucchini, and mix by hand instead of mixer. Add the chocolate chips, continuing to mix by hand.
9. Transfer batter to prepared pan, and use a spatula to spread evenly.
10. Place pan onto baking sheet, and place in oven on center rack. Bake until a cake tester comes out clean, about 1 hour and 40-50 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes.
11. Unmold from cake pan. Place the cake, baked top facing up, on a cake circle or plate. Let cool to room temperature at least 1 hour before slicing.
This goes great with the Butter Pecan Vegan Ice Cream! But if you choose to forgo à la mode, then it also pairs nicely with the Jasmine Sun Tea, or even a peppermint tea. Using the buckwheat flour in this recipe tastes great, and keeps it gluten-free. If you opt for oat flour I would classify it as low-gluten, and if you use all-purpose it definitely has gluten..

achievement of objectives
How to assess the effectiveness of risk management
Internal auditors are expected, according to the IIA Standards and some governance codes, to assess the effectiveness of risk management.
Is the goal of risk governance taking boards in the wrong direction?
The board is discharging its responsibilities to ensure stakeholders get the performance they should: value creation as well as (and not just) value protection. The board should make sure the management team is effective in running the organization, and that is not done by focusing on a list of harms. Effective governance of an organization is limited if the board focuses on risks.
It's not about risk management – it's about the achievement of objectives
I have said many times that it's not about managing risks: it's about managing the achievement of objectives. It's about being successful. Success is measured through the achievement of specified objectives. We improve the likelihood and extent of success if we understand what might happen, both good and bad, as we strive to achieve our […]
What does your risk management activity seek to achieve?
It is essential to understand what an organization needs and how critical the management of risk is before settling on a design, let alone trying to implement or upgrade risk management.

Good morning! Hope you had a lovely weekend. Christmas is just a few days away! Hope you are taking lots and lots of pictures during this beautiful season.
I love to incorporate black with all the bright Christmas colors. Everything seems to pop even more.
I designed these two layouts for Treasured Memories the last time I was there.
We had a great time visiting our son & his family last week in Louisiana. We took Andrew with us. Madison and Andrew had so much fun together! One of their favorite things to do was to eat ice cream. Even though the temperatures were in the 30's, they did not mind sitting outside and devouring snowballs ...
... or ice cream bars! When we go back during the summer they'll probably want piping hot crawfish gumbo!
Here they are posing with Santa in front of Madison's home. They both look a bit serious. Maybe they found out about that "naughty or nice" thing!
In case you missed yesterday's post on the Christmas Blog Hop, there's still time to leave your comments! Remember there's one more week and then on Christmas day we will pick the winners. Stop by the Kits n Bits blog site and leave your comments their, too.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a blessed day!

Here is to their North Georgia Fall Engagement Session
It was all planned out. He stayed home from work that day making the perfect dinner and telling her they needed to have a date night. It had been a while since they had one and their love story deserved it! The table was set with an amazing aroma of a homemade dinner filling the house. As he pulled the chair out for her to sit Boys to Men was playing on the record player.
Get the pup involved
It was about half way through dinner and Chase said, "I got Penny (their fur baby) a funny little outfit today , I'll go put it on her, you're going to love it!". At this point Chase was still cool, calm and collected. Until he hit to the steps leading up to the bedroom, his heart began to race, his palms were sweaty and it all kicked in. Each step brought him closer to asking Lindsay to be his wife.
He made it to the bedroom and dressed Penny in a little flower dress and tied the RING around her neck and at the same time realized On Bended Knee was playing. Oh Fate what a humor you have!! He walked in with Penny, knelt on one knee, confessed his love to Lindsay and asked her to be his forever!
So this past weekend they flew to Georgia from Chicago for their gorgeous engagement session.

At Ozark Akerz, our health focused farming practices are focused on the entire farming life-cycle. People tend to focus on the reduction of herbicides and pesticides, but toxins lurk in the most unlikely of places.
One example is water hoses. A lot of hoses contain lead and/or BPA. As the hose sits in the sun, the lead and other chemicals can leach out, not a cocktail you want to be watering fruits or vegetables with! To reduce this risk, we've adopted methods such as flushing our irrigation lines after watering and protecting them from the sun by burying them under mulch. We were also excited to find lead and phthalate (endocrine disruptors) free hoses, another step toward increasing the health value of our crops! One word of caution if you're planning on buying the lead and phthalate free Element hose, it kinks easily so you'll need patience to take another step towards a healthier garden!
Even if you buy organic, be sure to find out what the general farming practices are of the farms you buy from. Although organic is better for you than conventionally raised food, if the farm does not take a holistic approach to farming you may still be exposed to toxins.
Learn more about chemicals in organic food in this Mother Jones article.
Spring Planting and Hatching
Seeds and weeds aplenty!
Spring is a busy time on the farm, here's a quick summary about what we've been up to:
And finally, here is a video of 4 of the baby chicks that have hatched. The first of the chicks hatched on Cinco de Mayo. We have 5 hens sitting on eggs right now so we should have many more soon!
Thanks all y'all!

First 10 months on the farm
We've been reflecting on the first 10 months living on the farm as we plan to scale for next year, we've been busy! Apart from fixing up the old farmhouse to stop the leaks and drafts, we got started on and finished a few farm projects as well:
-Plowed and planted a test garden
-Sold tomatoes & peppers to restaurants/grocery
-We were promoted on TV by top Chef, Bia Rich
-Put up livestock fencing around 40 acres
-Built a chicken house that houses 20 chickens
-Made our first batch of our farm raised hot sauce
-Established a beehive...lost all the bees this fall :-(

Using water wisely
The use of water has decreased over the decades. This can be explained with technological advances, such as more efficient toilets and washing machines. You can also have an impact on the amount of water you use through your actions and choices.
Heating and purifying water requires a lot of energy. As much as 30 percent of heating energy is used for heating water. We use the largest amounts of water for washing ourselves and for flushing the toilet.
However, although it is good to use water wisely, you should also know that excessive saving of cold water can in fact damage the plumbing. For this reason, reducing the use of cold water excessively may not serve its purpose, even if the intention is good. You should pay more attention to how you use warm water, as heating the water uses energy.
Please remember that
- short showers are better than marathon-length soaks
- you do not need to run the tap while you brush your teeth
- you should not run half loads of washing, but rather wait until the machine is full
- an old washing machine uses a lot more energy than a new machine

I Photographed World's Northernmost Settlement During Polar Night, When Sun Doesn't Rise For Several Months
I am Maria Sahai, professional nature photographer, I lead Photography tours in the Arctic and Svalbard Archipelago is one of my favourite destinations in the world.
I've spent my last 4 Christmas Eves at 78 degrees North, in Longyearbyen, the archipelago's capital and world's northernmost settlement (everything further north is either a military or a research station).
This tiny settlement of 2000 people is unique in so many ways. It is a home to northernmost school, university, supermarket, a man's chorus, and much more. From October till February the sun doesn't rise there, and 24h nights are perfect to observe Northern Lights.
Over the years I've documented the settlement's history, nature and daily life.
More info: Instagram
Northern Lights seen during a natural phenomenon when the skies turned bright pink.
Entrance to the Global Seed Vault – one of the most important buildings on Earth.
Christmas lights on in an abandoned coal mine (Gruve 2b). Longyearbyen was founded as a coal mining town by an American John Longyear (hence the name).
Longyearbyen is one of a few places In the world where you can see unique daytime Northern Lights (everywhere else the Northern lights appear only during night hours).
A local with a dog and a rifle going on a hike. By law, you have to carry a gun when exiting the boundaries of the settlement.
Never forget to close the windows in Winter. The coldest temperature ever recorder was −46.3 °C (−51.3 °F) in March 1986.
Svalbard landscape during full moon. In 2006, a massive prehistoric sea reptile that was longer than a humpback whale and had teeth the size of cucumbers has been found by fossil hunters in the mountains of Svalbard.
In Longyearbyen, streets have no names. Only numbers.
Driving through a heavy snow storm in a cabin of a snowcat – a specialized enclosed-cab, truck-sized, fully tracked vehicle designed to move on snow.
2 pm during Polar Night. Today, Longyearbyen obtains its energy from its coal power plant, which produces annual emissions of 40 tonnes of CO2 per inhabitant, four times as much as on mainland.
The northernmost church in the world (seen on the right). It is open 24 hours to anyone and of any religion.
There are over 200 kids below the age of 18 in Longyearbyen. There are 2 kindergartens, 1 school and 1 world's northernmost university in Longyearbyen.
Hospital. It's illegal to die in Svalbard and the reason is simple – bodies don't decompose because of the permafrost.
Svalbard reindeer – world's northernmost herbivore mammal.

'He' review: A complicated reimagining of Stan Laurel's life
The reader can't help questioning the verity of Laurel's thoughts and opinions
Laurel and Hardy: a very loving relationship
Book Title:
John Connolly
Hodder & Stoughton
Guideline Price:
John Connolly, author of the Charlie Parker series of detective novels, has never been afraid to experiment outside his first genre. And his forays into fantasy, horror and children's fiction are never without their sense of humour, so perhaps it is not surprising that his latest book is about the life of Stan Laurel. It is, however, a work of fiction, a reimagining of Laurel's life. This is not without difficulties. As Connolly says himself, "The version of Stan Laurel in these pages is a construct, and one that I accept may not meet with unanimous approval".
The book fans backwards from Laurel's last years in his Oceana apartment, as he remembers the tough years before success came with a chance partnership with Oliver Hardy. This is a book about love: love of women, love of men, love of art, love of comedy. It's also a book about haunting: Laurel's haunting by Charles Chaplin and the ghost of their early struggling lives on Fred Karno's vaudeville circuit, not to mention several wives in pursuit of alimony.
Private regrets
It is harder to suspend disbelief when Stan Laurel is not an imaginary character. The reader can't help questioning the verity of Laurel's thoughts and opinions. Chaplin is shown in a very unflattering light, although the real-life Laurel actually "refused to say a bad word about him", according to Connolly. Sometimes it's hard to be convinced by Laurel's tears and private regrets, especially when a rather biblical and melodramatic style of repetition is employed – as here at the end, referring to Laurel's lawyer:
Ben Shipman will guide Lucille.
Ben Shipman will handle the details.
Ben Shipman will look after everyone.
And no one will speak to Ben Shipman of his loss.
But what catapults the reader straight into Hollywood's Golden Age is the enormous amount of research and passion that lies behind He. When those researched concrete details coalesce, a world of Dickens-like detail leaps off the page. Here Connolly writes about his struggles to free himself of Mae, his early common-law wife who stands in the way of his success.
… stars do not undress in freezing Wisconsin dressing rooms, and warm themselves with shared bottles of cheap liquor, and listen to midgets squabble and blackface comics complain about their billing.
Woman are a very important part of He, and Connolly does not look away from this seamier side of Hollywood. Women were treated appallingly. Even by Charley Chase, whose wife, BeBe, knows he is "not a bad guy … which is why she pretends not to notice the blondes. She wishes her husband would not cast them in his pictures, though. It makes them harder to ignore if she has to view them magnified on a screen before her." The horror of young female lives used and abused and thrown away by Chaplin while the relentless Hollywood machine protects its stars is one of the most chilling aspects of the novel.
Connolly does not excuse Stan Laurel, whose simple character on screen hid a ferociously complicated love life. He had four wives, one of whom he married twice. There is no doubt that the death of his son affected his first marriage, but the seeds were sown from the start with Mae and they came back to haunt him in increasingly costly divorces. Hardy comes across rather too saintly despite his own dalliances – even if his wife, Myrtle, was an alcoholic. Of course, this is Laurel's vision of Hardy, and theirs was a very loving relationship, but even the warts seem to be in soft focus.
Manipulative tightwad
The portrayal of the owner of the famous Lot of Laughs, producer Hal Roach, is excellent – complex and funny. He was a manipulative tightwad who staggered Laurel and Hardy's contracts so they were never able to quit at the same time, but he did provide Laurel with autonomy and respect he would miss later when they moved to Fox.
Laurel and Hardy led incredibly strained lives. Their rise to stardom was earned and darkened by years of toil up the slippery slope to the top, from which the greatest star could slide so quickly. He shows how comics learned from each other and captures the speedy excitement during those early years of cinema. Connolly's greatest strength is when he keeps the writing tight, fast and funny. The truth shines then like the best gags or Harold Lloyd's reply to Laurel when he first arrives on the lot at Hal Roach's studios, asking for any useful advice: "Always check the fuse."

Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is the popular
scenic route transecting Mount Tateyama.
We can enjoy the noble and beautiful scenery of Tateyama at a short distance.
The western entrance is the Tateyama terminal station of Toyama-Chihou Railroad, and the eastern entrance is Oogisawa bus terminal in Oomachi city in Nagano Prefecture.
The direct distance between both entrances is about 25 km.
Tateyama terminal station is at the western foot of Mount Tateyama, and this route pass through Mount Tateyama, Kurobe Dum and Northern Alps.
Oogisawa terminal is on the eastern mountainside of Northern Alps.
This route runs through high mountains, but even ordinary tourists can
visit here.
We can pass this route by route bus, special trolleybus, cable car and ropeway.
Basically, we cannot travel this route by private car.
To Tateyama terminal station, the trains on Toyama-Chihou Railroad come from Toyama station.
And, to Oogisawa bus terminal, the route buses come from Shinano-Oomachi station on JR Ooito Line.
Tateyama terminal station is at the level of 475 meteres, and Oogisawa
bus station is at the level of 1,433 meters.
And the highest spot on this route is Murodou plateau at the level of 2,450 meters.
So if you are an ordinary tourist, you need the warm clothes even in summer.
In addition, this route is closed from December to mid-April.
The fare of all tranportations on this route is 8,060 yen between
Tateyama station and Oogisawa terminal.
And the fare between Toyama station and Shinano-Oomachi station including this route is 10,560 yen.
Commonly it takes about 6-7 hours to pass through the route between
Tateyama terminal and Oogisawa terminal.
In the season from late April to early May and around October, many tourists visit here. So each terminal is crowded and it takes a few extra hours.
Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route Official Guide
It is a highland on a western end of a ridge of Mount Tatetyama. It is
positioned 2-3 km east of Tateyama station.
It is located at the level of about 1,000 meters. Rich and calm forests spread and many birds make their habitat there. There are some walking trails in the forests.
It is a waterfall located about 6 km east of Bijodaira station.
It is the Japan's highest falls, and the height is about 350 meters. The water from Midagahara plateau falls down, and it flows into Shomyo River. The river forms the valley of norhtern side of Bijodaira ridge.
We can see from the route bus of Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route between Bijodaira and Midagahara.
And direct route bus from Tateyama station to the falls is operated. It takes about 20 minutes.
It is a gentle plateau on the west side of Mount Tateyama, and spreads
at the level of about 2,000 meters. The bus stop is located about 9 km
east of Bijodaira.
This plateau had been formed by the erupted lava from Mount Tateyama volcano mote than 100 thousand years ago.
High moors spreads around here, then they are filled with many alpine plants such as daylilies, cottongrasses in summer.
There are some walking trails in this area, and a few hotels are around the bus stop on Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.
It is the lava plateau just west of the main peaks of Mount Tateyama.
The alititude is about 2,450 meters.
It is also called "Murodou-daira" in Japanese.
This lava plateau had been formed about 50 thousand years ago.
So there are some crater lakes such as Mikuriga-ike lake and Midoroga-ike lake, and we can see the emissions of volcanic gas in Jigokudani valley.
They are to the north of Murodou station.
And around Murodou station, there are a few hotels and Tateyama Nature Conservation Center with museum.
"Murodou" means "mountain lodge for Japan's ancient mountain worship".
There is the mountain lodge built in the 16th century about 1 km east of Murodou station. It is designated as a nationally important cultural property.
It is the largest dam in Japan, and is constructed upstream of Kurobe
River. It is located just east of the main peaks of Mount Tateyama.
The construction of the dam started in 1956, and it was completed in 1963.
This location is too interior. The constuction was very difficult. So it has been sometimes introduced on a movie or TV documentaries.
Now this is one of the popular spots on Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route.
We can walk around the dam. And the pleasure boat "Garve" is operated on the dammed lake.

Fincas Valdemar
by Bodegas Valdemar
Fincas Valdemar is the new range of Valdemar wines. Fincas Valdemar is Jesús and Ana Martínez Bujanda's project to produce wines from different appellations with the Valdemar style and personality.
They have sought out the best regions and soils in order to make wines of the very highest quality, preserving the essence of each zone but following the guidelines and applying the know-how of this family which has been making wine since 1889.
Fincas Valdemacuco is the first wine and Ribera del Duero the chosen Denominación.
A winemaking region which has continually displayed its high quality and its magnificent wines
For this wine we have selected some of the most incredible vineyards situated near the Duero river in the Nava de Roa district.
This close proximity of the river and the features of the sandy-loam soil with a little gravel give the wine freshness which together with the time spent in the cask allows us to obtain wines with a lot of character and fruity nuances.
Fincas Valdemacuco Roble, with 5 months of oak ageing, is our particular way of understanding and interpreting Ribera del Duero with a distinctive, original, very personal wine. An elegant tempranillo with lots of life and expressiveness.
The range is completed by Fincas Valdemacuco Crianza, that seduces us with its toasty notes, the creaminess and a long aftertaste.
Surely a wine capable of showing off all the essence of the Ribera del Duero.

Reportedly, a number of teachers from the Dallas South Oak Cliff High let their more violent pupils into a makeshift Thunderdome in the boys' locker room and left them there until only one was able to walk back out again.
The boy with the dwarf on his head usually won.
Testimonies claim that the entire staff was in on it and that these practices went down for more than two years, between 2003 and 2005.
The entire faculty completely denies the allegations, especially the principal, who claims "ain't nothing to comment on," though considering his bizarre past (including staging his own kidnapping and fatally shooting an old guy) we're not sure why Texas put him in charge of kids instead of making him principal of the exercise yard at the county prison.
It was probably due to some kind of communication breakdown.

Whether they're basing it on the laws of physics that they learned in a high school math class or on the fact that the guys that win those long drive contests on TV swing some big sticks, lots of golfers believe that the secret to long yardage off the tee is a longer club. And, in theory, they're right.
All things being equal, a longer club will hit the ball farther. Unfortunately, though, all things are seldom equal.
Basic laws of rotation and motion show that, yes, a longer club will generally result in longer drives. There was even a study done in 2008 by the Department of Physical Education and Sport Sciences at the University of Limerick in Ireland that found that an increase in club length from 46 inches to 50 inches resulted not only in an increase in club head speed, ball speed, and carry, but -- and here's the interesting part -- it was achieved without any significant loss of accuracy.
At ClubCraft, we love science. We respect science. Our beliefs and philosophies of club-fitting and club-building would be reduced to guesswork and hunches if they weren't firmly rooted in science.
So, why are we so skeptical about the results of a legit university research department study? Digging deeper into the study, it shows that it was based on the drives of seven very low-handicap golfers. For one thing, that's a pretty low sample size for a study. For another thing, most of us aren't scratch golfers.
At ClubCraft, we have decades of combined experience in the club-fitting industry. We've seen thousands of golfers -- from beginners to World Number #1s -- hit away in our bays. Technology like TrackMan gives us a wealth of information about your game. Yes, the five-foot-five guy with the 48-inch driver may very well hit a monster drive or two, but the overall dispersion of his shots makes it obvious that those bombs were clearly the exception and not the rule. That same player given a shorter club may not get the same distance, speed, and carry, but his dispersion will much tighter.
We're guessing that a more consistent game is what you'd rather be playing.
And that's why you also shouldn't be looking at long drive competitions. Sure, those guys can hit the daylights out of the ball, but -- ultimately -- they aren't playing the same sport as you. Yes, what they're doing involves a golf club and a golf ball, but that's about where the similarities end. Their goal is to hit one out of eight balls onto another planet. They don't care -- or have to care -- that the other five balls went several miles in the wrong direction. You don't have that luxury when you're out playing. Your job is to confidently navigate an eighteen-hole course in as few shots as possible. If seven out of every eight drives end up in the woods, the water, the wrong fairway, or the parking lot, it's going to be a long day. And you're not going to have much fun.
To truly play at your best, your clubs have to match your swing and your body. And that's going to involve a lot more than simply tweaking the length of your club.
In addition to proper shaft length, we'll make sure that you're playing with the proper shaft frequency (stiffness) for your swing speed and tempo and that the grip, shaft, and head all work in harmony to give you a balanced club with the proper swing weight for you. Whether it's a driver, an iron, or a wedge, every club in your bag should feel like it's an extension of your body. That's what a Tour-Style fitting is all about.

Alec Baldwin Drops Out Of Joker Movie Already
Once again, Batman has lost his father.
Just days after being tapped to play Batman's father, Thomas Wayne, in Todd Phillips' Joker origin story, it appears Alec Baldwin has already dropped out.
Nope, we're not joking.
Despite the casting being confirmed by Warner Bros, Baldwin jumped onto Twitter to firmly state "This is not happening".
This tweet is unavailable or no longer exists.
The actor also told USA Today that he was pulling out of the film due to "scheduling issues", adding, "I'm sure there are 25 guys who can play that part".
The casting backflip comes just a few days after Baldwin was announced to be playing Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, who was to be reimagined as a "cheesy, tanned businessman" who The Hollywood Reporter likened to a 1980s Donald Trump.

Traditionally, Thomas Wayne is portrayed as a philanthropist who dedicates his life to believing the best in people and attempting to make Gotham City a better place. Thomas and his wife Martha are gunned down in front of Bruce in a mugging gone wrong, which inspires their son into his life of caped crusading.
Phillips, who will direct and co-write the film alongside Scott Silver -- will centre around Batman's iconic foe, and the exploration of what drives a man to a life of crime and poorly applied lipstick.
Joaquin Phoenix is set to star as the Joker with Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, and Marc Maron also confirmed as part of the cast. At least, for now...

The word cheap can have nasty connotations. Cheap wine, cheap cigarettes, or even just the phrase "oh that guy, he's cheap". On a personal level it's just not nice to hear (especially if it's directed at you) but for your business, the perception and its effects can be downright devastating.
The price of your product or service correlates directly with the quality of it, or at least the quality perceived by the customer. Why then do so many brands offer discounts on their products and services? And remember, offering a lesser price for damaged, out-of-date or stressed-sale goods is not discounting – it's just valuing a product according to its quality – so take that out of the equation.
Tesla, or more accurately Tesla's billionaire CEO Elon Musk, famously went public last year about why his electric premium car company should never offer discounts on its products, and it came down to one word for his brand – integrity.
Unlike the word cheap, integrity does amazing things for a business. Case in point, during a recent sales team coaching session about product pricing we discussed with the team what kind of questions they were asked by their clients.
Not surprisingly, one question always front of mind was the request for discounted products and services. All of the team members had the same reaction – that their customers often asked for a discount, and often they would receive it.
The sales team had a mindset that the customer should get what they ask for. Happy customer equalled sale secured equalled happy boss. But all is not what it seems when you give in on price.All is not what it seems when you give in on price, says @ExecCGroup #salestips Click To Tweet
The damage of the discount
Removing value from a product or service on a one-off basis is one thing; giving your customers the perception that you aren't worth the money from the get-go is something else entirely. The answer? A little bit of homework.
To address this situation, we gave the sales team an assignment to do before the next coaching session.
We directed each person on the team to ask for a discount the next time they were purchasing something – anything – and take note of the salesperson's reaction and the result.
The power of perception
One of the sales team members, Jane, shared that she had asked for a discount on a product she was wanting to purchase, and that the sales assistant had denied her – confidently and with a fair explanation of why.
"This is a really high quality product and we're just not able to negotiate on price," the salesperson said. Interestingly and quite naturally, Jane understood straight away that the perceived value of the product was premium, and that it must have been worth the money she was paying.
Not only that, Jane said she was extremely satisfied with the product and had more of an affinity for it when she used it. That's the power of integrity in a business.
Conversely, another member of the sales team, Mark, asked for a discount on another high value product even though he had already decided he was willing to pay full price.
Without hesitating, the sales assistant gave him the discount. Mark explained that despite his sense of accomplishment at gaining a discount, the value perception of the product he'd just bought changed. He went into the store expecting to pay full price and received quite a significant discount – 10% in fact.
And the kicker? "It made me look at the product in a different light. It felt cheap all of a sudden, especially with such a big discount. It felt like something must have been wrong with it that I didn't know about," Mark said.
The satisfaction outcomes of Mark and Jane's purchases were quite different. Jane thought that the product she purchased was of high value and worth what she paid, and Mark felt the opposite way.
The sales team no longer offers discounts on its products and services.
Key takeaway: If you can make your customer perceive the value of your product or service, and articulate your differentiation, you should never have to offer a discount on your product. Never.

What's in the Program
The Business Breakthrough Program contains all the experience, insight and wisdom I've been fortunate to gain over the last 25 years of running businesses and coaching entrepreneurs, business owners and leaders.
It's very different from the bulk of leadership development approaches out there because it covers not just the mechanics of business that include sales, management and strategy – but also the dynamics of leadership – your mindsets, behaviours and beliefs.
So we'll be exploring not just the day-to-day decisions you make, but also the thinking and feeling that lies behind them. We'll be getting right to the heart of the root causes behind the performance of your business and your experience of it.
And to guide us on that journey, we'll be holding 3 critical objectives in mind at all times, to make absolutely certain that you get the results you want:
- FREEDOM – That you get the freedom you crave
- PURPOSE – That you do the work that you love
- PROFIT – That you get the money you need
We'll be doing that by focussing on the outcomes that follow…
Program Structure
To maximise the impact on you and your business, the programme is divided into 4 modules:
The art of Self-Awareness
- Choose how you respond to challenges instead of reacting through habit.
- Maintain emotional balance regardless of circumstances.
- Discover the lifestyle shifts that make life and work easier.
- Establish the disciplines that will help you develop and grow
Relating to yourself and others
- Learn how to turn difficult relationships into powerful ones.
- Discover the dynamics of conflict and how to manage them.
- Say NO to liberate you and empower others.
- Use communication to engage, motivate and inspire
Turning work into profit
- Take the effort and sweat out of making profits.
- Create a team that does the work for you.
- Learn the crucial art of delegation.
- Run meetings that solve problems and clarify responsibilities
Inspiring people to achieve a challenging vision
- Discover the fundamentals of Leadership that so few leaders know.
- Create an inspirational strategy to fire up you and your people.
- Deal with VUCA - Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity.
- Maintain focus regardless of circumstances.
The entire Business Breakthrough programme is underpinned by Personal Mastery and, in particular, Self-Awareness. Without this as the foundation, change at any other level will not be sustainable – that is why the programme focuses on you, every bit as much as your business.
Get More Done by Doing Less
Most of us labour under the impression that the more we do, the more we achieve. It's exactly that mindset that drives people into stress, depression and even an early grave. The reality is that there is an optimum balance between work and rest that will allow you to achieve far more than by working flat out. In the programme you'll discover how to find that balance, and stick to it, so that you spend less time achieving more.
Run Your Business, Don't Let It Run You
Having a business that determines how you live your life, if and when you take time off, having to work weekends and taking calls at all hours was probably never part of your dream. My programme will give you the tools to turn this situation around so that you run the business on your terms once more.
Stop Motivating Your People and Start Inspiring Them
Have you noticed how motivating people doesn't work very well and not for very long? That's because the whole idea of motivating someone else is based on ignorance of how people work. In the programme you'll discover why motivation is a waste of time and energy and
how inspiring yourself and those around you is a far more powerful and sustainable strategy. And yes, there is a difference between motivation and inspiration… and it's huge!
Maintain Emotional Balance and Clarity Under Pressure
When things are not going your way, it's very easy to lose composure – even if you don't show it. And when the stakes are high, the feelings are intensified many times over. Communications, relationships and decision-making all suffer and so, of course, does the business. In my programme, we'll explore techniques for maintaining the balance that is so crucial for your health and that of your people and the business.
Understand Your Inner Dynamics and How to Mitigate Negativity
Whether you're aware of it or not, your perception of your world is conditioned by the way you feel every second of your life. The way you feel at any moment is key to your quality of life, so why feel any negativity if you don't need to? In the programme I show you how to replace feelings of negativity with positive feelings of belief, conviction and the inevitability of business success.
Turn Relationships Around So People Work With You, Not Against You
The value of any business is not in its balance sheet, assets or know-how. The value is in the relationships between people, so business success is totally dependent on the quality of these relationships. Most of us focus on the other person's behaviour when we want to improve a relationship with them. In my programme you'll discover how you can transform a relationship by focusing on your own behaviour, without worrying about the other person.
Create an Inspirational Strategy That Will Energise the Whole Business
Without an idea of exactly what your business is out to achieve, it's impossible to get people to give themselves 100% to it. A vision, a purpose and a plan – a strategy – are all critical to inspiring your people. All of us have a sense of purpose, however dim or foggy that might be, and what we give our energy to needs to be aligned with it. In the programme, you'll learn how to clarify your vision of the business, and its purpose, so that others feel inspired to be a part of it and you get to do what you love.
Learn to Delegate to Empower Others and Free Yourself
Entrepreneurs and business owners are doers by their very nature. You didn't get to where you are today by sitting around doing nothing. But doing is only half the story and as the business grows, what you do can choke it instead of developing it. Delegation is the key, but it is an art that demands you empower others to do what you used to do. My programme will give you the knowledge and tools to delegate effectively and deal with the biggest obstacle
to delegation – trust.
Stop Struggling and Start Living
Many of my clients have spent years struggling, believing that it's the only way to run a business – no pain no gain! This couldn't be further from the truth and it's one reason why half of all businesses fold within 4 years. Life and work were never meant to be a struggle – there is another way, and my programme will show you how to shift your experience of life and work from struggle to achievement.
Stop Chasing Money and Allow It to Flow
There are more misconceptions around money than nearly any other focus of our attention. Paradoxically, money itself is very simple, but the thoughts and feelings that we have about
it can be incredibly complex and interfere with its flow. During the programme you'll discover how to shift your thinking about money to facilitate it rather than block it. You'll also discover how the pricing of your product or service can be sabotaging your success.
Sell What Your Customers Really Want, Not Just Products and Services
Many of my clients have spent years struggling, believing that it's the only way to run a business – no pain no gain! This couldn't be further from the truth and it's one reason why half of all businesses fold within 4 years. Life and work were never meant to be a struggle – there is another way, and my programme will show you how to shift your experience of life and work from struggle to achievement.
Feel So Much Better About Your Work, Your Life and Your Relationships
Did you know that no one has ever, or will ever, buy a product or a service? What they actually buy, often without having any idea or understanding of it, is something quite different. In the program we explore what it is that people really buy in exchange for their money and, how knowing about it greatly increases your chances of making sales.

Learn by my mistakes and triumph in the oral
Blind panic and verbal diarrhoea
are not the best techniques for getting through the MRCGP oral, writes Dr Prashini Naidoo
here are 16 candidates in the Long Room upstairs. A lady in a twin-set with pearls herds eight of us to one half of the room and the rest to the other side. I'm acutely aware of the small space between the propped up screens separating the candidates. After the introductions, the nightmare begins.
'What are the stages of burnout?' My mind goes blank. My heart starts to pound; my eyes dart nervously to the hardened faces of the examiners; the hum of the room fades, and I am aware of a silence that rolls like a giant wave from me towards 'Hatchet-face One' and 'Hatchet-face Two'.
A ray of inspiration strikes a terrified neuron, a connection is made; memory feeds to tongue and out pours a gush of verbal diarrhoea.
'Do you have any thoughts on patient safety?' I have lots of them, going off like a warehouse of Chinese firecrackers in the recesses of my brain. I have never spoken this fast in my life.
Out of the room we troop. We gather around at the water table to wet our lips and prepare for round two with different examiners: 'Baldie' and 'Twinkle-eyes'.
Feeling a bit more confident, I beam inanely. I have obviously watched too many Miss World contests and speeches of world peace stir in my bosom.
Suddenly Baldie pounces with: 'What do you do if your practice nurse is consistently late?' This has me stumped. I stumble about blindly.
My irritation at Baldie begins to rise. I want to reach across and brutally pluck the few wispy hairs carefully combed across his shiny pate. Surely this is a grossly unfair question. Surely his technique of asking is completely wrong.
Eventually we get to the point. 'What is your opinion of staff appraisals?' Alas, it is too late. I'm outraged by the injustice of it all. I could have waxed lyrical if he'd asked properly. I feel like crying.
Eventually, the gong sounds. We are released into the cold, uncomforting air of Hyde Park.
What I learnt on reflection
My oral exam was a hideous experience, despite my exhaustive preparations. On reflection, there were many lessons to be learned from my mistakes. Here are a few.
· The atmosphere in the common room can be a strain. If you arrive early, go for a walk or read a novel while you wait.
· Most candidates take their exams upstairs on the first floor. The tables are surprisingly close together and when you first walk in, you are acutely aware of neighbouring candidates. It is important to concentrate really hard on listening to the first question and to shut out the background noise. If you don't
hear the first question, ask the examiner to repeat it. Most people settle down once the first question is out of the way. If you remain distracted, don't panic; take a few calming breaths and start again. It is better to lose a few minutes rather than destroy your composure for the rest of the exam.
· The questions get harder and most people will be asked something for which they are not prepared. Go back to basic principles; look at the argument from all sides, and make a considered decision, as you would in real life. Not every question can be answered with quotations from the BMJ and reference to ethical principles.
· There will be the occasional disgruntled, sharp-tongued examiner who will raise your hackles. It is dangerous to let your emotions take over. Give calm and considered answers and ignore the emotional baiting.
· It is important to think rapidly about the theme the question is pursuing and to get the gist quickly. While it is important to pursue the ideas, concerns and expectations of the tardy practice nurse, it is equally important to show the examiners you have a working knowledge of management principles and employment law.
· Preparation for the oral exam involves reading and practice; answering a few questions out loud in the company of colleagues is far less embarrassing than floundering in front of the examiners.

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that is concerned with diagnosing, treating and preventing malocclusions (bad bites) and other irregularities in the jaw region and face. Orthodontists are specially trained to correct these problems and to restore health, functionality and a beautiful aesthetic appearance to the smile. Though orthodontics was originally aimed at treating children and teenagers, almost one third of orthodontic patients are now adults. A person of any age can be successfully treated by an orthodontist.
A malocclusion (improper bite) can affect anyone at any age, and can significantly impact the individual's clarity of speech, chewing ability and facial symmetry. In addition, a severe malocclusion can also contribute to several serious dental and physical conditions such as digestive difficulties, TMJ, periodontal disease and severe tooth decay. It is important to seek orthodontic treatment early to avoid expensive restorative procedures in the future.
What problems can orthodontics treat?
Orthodontics can treat a wide range of dental problems and in most cases, completely realign the teeth. Orthodontists may work alone, or in combination with a maxillofacial surgeon.
The typical irregularities requiring orthodontic treatment are as follows:
How can orthodontics help?
Orthodontic dentistry offers techniques which will realign the teeth and revitalize the smile. There are several treatments the orthodontist may use, depending on the results of panoramic X-rays, study models (bite impressions), and a thorough visual examination.
Fixed dental braces can be used to expediently correct even the most severe case of misalignment. These braces consist of metal or ceramic brackets which are affixed to each tooth and an archwire which is used to gradually move the teeth through the duration of the treatment.
Removable appliances include headgear (which consists of a metal wire device attached to customized braces), retainers, Invisalign® aligners (which are almost invisible to the naked eye), palate expanders and tooth movers. Faceguards are generally used to correct developmental delays in both the upper and lower jaw, and palate expanders are used to combat overcrowding.
Whatever the dental irregularity or the age of the individual, orthodontic appliances can properly realign the teeth and create a beautiful smile.
If you have any questions or concerns about orthodontic treatments or how they can benefit you, please contact our office.
Dr. Nichol is an excellent dentist. He's got a great office staff; very good hygienists and he always explains exactly what and why he will be doing. Tom is also very personable and understands his patient's needs.

Now You Can Easily Sneak Food into Movie Theaters - Inbound Marketing Highlights
Do you prefer bringing your own food to movie theaters? If so, you'll want to see the marketing stunt this fast food restaurant recently pulled. Read on for more on this story as well as others below, in this week's Inbound Marketing Highlights.
Burger King hid Whoppers in popcorn bags to help moviegoers skirt theater rules
Movie theater attendees are often faced with an internal conflict: should you sneak in your own snacks or pay ridiculous marked up prices once you get there? Well, Burger King is trying to help movie goers find a compromise in their new hilarious stunt. In order to get their world famous whopper into movie theaters, Burger King found a creative work around: the "King Popcorn." The King Popcorn is what it sounds like, a bucket of popcorn. However, what makes it different is that is has a secret compartment for a whopper and fries inside. The menu addition was a hit! People inside a Peruvian mall were going to Burger King for their bucket and then taking it to the movie theater next door. The stunt even resulted in a sales increase of 40%. But once the movie theaters figured out what Burger King was up to, the bucket sadly became banned. More on this story here.
Will the Sequel of Snapchat's Spectacles Succeed Where the Originals Failed?
Snapchat just released a second generation of their Spectacles camera glasses. The hope is that these improvements and additional features will deliver better results than the first version. The Spectacles camera is hands-free and has added the ability to capture photos or videos, and then transfer it via WiFi. The glasses are also water-resistant with a sleeker frame and with more style and color options. The Spectacles now cost $149.99 with the charging case and cable. The original version of the glasses was released back in September 2016, back when the company moved to identifying itself as a camera company rather than messaging app.
"Snap really, very early on I think, began capitalizing on this idea that not only are cameras software, but they are connected to each other—which means you can use cameras for talking, you can use cameras to learn about the world, you can use cameras for storytelling—and that is what the next couple of decades look like for the evolution of cameras and the evolution of Snap."- Snap Inc. CEO, Evan Spiegel
The first-generation glasses were not a success, however, the water resistant feature in the new release expected to help sales.

Volkswagen Made Phone Cases From Crashed Cars as a Grim Warning Against Distraction
In a powerful new marketing move, Volkswagen is warning the public about the dangers of distracted driving, particularly phone distractions. According to the ad, you're 23 times more likely to be in an accident if you text while driving. In order to remind the public of this statistic, they have made "Crash Cases," or limited edition phone cases made out of crashed cars.
"We believe a phone case made by damaged vehicles will make you think twice before you pick up your phone. It will be a silent reminder to keep focus on the road and not multitask whilst driving."- Johan Karlson, brand manager at Volkswagen Stockholm.
Proceeds from the phone cases will be used to help cover rehabilitation costs incurred by car accident victims.

Ford Motor is making some surprising moves to increase profitability. Most notably, they will stop making the Focus, Fusion, as well as other sedans in North America.They are also expected to reduce marketing, sales, and well as engineering costs by $11.5 billion these next 3 years. This in all in hopes that they achieve a global profit margin of 8% by 2020, two years earlier than previously expected. In recent trends, Americans have been abandoning sedans and instead choosing trucks or S.U.V.s. Within a few years, Ford will offer only two cars in the United States: the Mustang sports car and a new Focus variant with the shape of an S.U.V., according to Ford executives. Ford is planning to introduce several new trucks and S.U.V.s over the next three years, which will be available as both gasoline- and battery-powered versions.
