1. Discuss the different changes at Intel over the first 3 years of CEO Barrett's tenure.
Craig Barrett made several changes within the first three years of his tenure as the CEO of Intel. In 1999, he created a new wireless unit that combined new acquisition such as DSP Communications Inc. with Intel's flash memory operations (Palmer, Dunford, and Akins, 2009).
In his second year, he created the Architecture Group, which combined development and manufacturing of core processors. In his third year, he reorganized the Architecture Group and created a new unit consisting of a merger of communications and networking operations. For Barrett, these reorganizations were needed to enable decentralization and delegation of decision making all designed to make the company better coordinated and more nimble (Palmer, Dunford, and Akins, 2009).
2. Identify three significant environmental pressures for change faced by Intel under CEO Barrett's leadership. (fashion, mandates, geopolitical, declining markets, hyper-competition and corporate reputation).
Environmental pressures often occurs when an organizations resource base decreases as a result of reduced demand for products and sales, decrease in market and bad investment decisions (Palmer et. al, 2009).
There are several environmental pressures for changes such as hyper competition, market decline, and corporate reputation pressures that Barrett faced as the CEO of Intel. Hyper-competition pressures organizations to deliver goods and services more quickly, more customized, and more flexibly (Palmer et. al, 2009).
The Essay on Wal Mart Company Year Ceo
Background Information Wal-Mart Inc. Corporate Headquarters. 702 Southwest 8 th street Bentonville, Ar 72716-8001 Top Executives. President and CEO: H. Lee Scott. Chairman of the Board: S. Robson Walton. Chairman, Executive Committee of the Board: David D. Glass. Chief Financial officer & Executive Vice President: Thomas M. SchoeweIndustry. General Merchandise, SIC code: 5399 Divisions. Wal- ...
Hyper-competition pressures for change may not always be easy to anticipate. In this case, Intel was not aware of the sudden and unpredictable moves made by Advanced Micro Devices. Intel's competitor Advanced Micro Devices produced Athlon processor which turned out to be faster than Intel's Pentium III chip.
Second, the declining market for products and services placed Intel under pressure to remain relevant in the competitive market. For example, due to the weak demand and the overcapacities in the semiconductor industry, some researchers were expecting a 34% fall in global sales of chips (Palmer et. al, 2009).
Next, maintaining and enhancing corporate reputation is an important part of managing an organization. Corporate reputation can be positive or negative images of an organization.
Corporate reputation is defined as a collective representation of a firm's past actions and results that describes the firm's ability to deliver valued outcomes to multiple stakeholders (Palmer et. al, 2009).
Intel's experienced problems such as product delays and shortages, recalls, overpricing, and even bugs in its systems which ruined their reputation. 3. Identify three significant internal organizational pressure for change faced by Intel under CEO Barrett's leadership. (growth, integration and collaboration, reestablishment of organizational identities, new broom, and power and political pressure).
Intel was faced with several internal organization pressures such as pressures related to the need for integration and collaboration, pressures around establishing and reestablishing organizational identities in the new eras, new broom pressures associated with the appointment of new CEOs and a variety of power and political pressures (Palmer et. al, 2009).
First, integration and collaboration work together as a team. As the CEO of Intel, Barrett thought that the company needed to be reorganized to avoid duplication and to create better coordination (Palmer et. al, 2009).
For example, the network operations and communication unit sometimes were in competition with each other selling similar products to same customers. Next, reestablishment of organizational change is the process of planning and implementing change in an organization. Barrett wanted to reestablish a new identity for Intel through organizational change such as job promotion in order to enhance job satisfaction. Finally, Intel was affected by the new broom pressures. The new broom pressure acts as a signal that the old ways are about to change is when an organization hires a new CEO or manager. For example, Barrett wanted to change the culture and move Intel toward better customer relations.
The Term Paper on Managing Change Organization Model People
'Managing Change' Massive change is impacting on all facets of society, creating new dimensions and great uncertainty. Instant communication, super small high-tech equipments, the globalization movement, the deadly terrorist attacks in the U. S. , the emerging of foreign investments in China nation are all the changing dimensions of the world. These are few of the changes which have occurred ...
4. Evaluate CEO Barrett's performance under these pressures and discuss what he may have done differently. As the CEO of Intel, Barrett was faced with many challenges during his tenure. Barrett's performance under hyper-competition pressures really needs improvement. Barrett decision to create dual core architectures rather than producing faster and faster chip speeds and canceling the 4-GHz Pentium was not a good decision (Palmer, Dunford, and Akins, 2009).
Perhaps if Barrett had conducted the market research, he would have found that people were more interested in how fast their modern connection was than in the speed of their computer chip. Next, Barrett's decision to expand the company's expertise in designing chips for mobile communications was not a good idea.
The Centrino mobile technology, used for accessing wireless networks, had taken off and its flash memory business was robust, but despite a great deal of hype around communications silicon and its Manitoba processor, no mobile phone manufacturer had yet used this processor (Palmer, Dunford, and Akins, 2009).
Third, Barrett's performance under the identity pressures should have been researched thoroughly before implementation. Placing chip managers in charge of new markets and products with little knowledge created serious problems for the company.
In my opinion, the quality of leadership that the organization provides determines whether the organization succeed or fail. Barrett did not communicate effectively with his staff about the need for change and what this change seeks to achieve. Without an appropriate vision, a transformation effort can easily dissolve into a list of confusing, incompatible, and time consuming projects that go in the wrong direction or nowhere at all (Kotter, 1996).
The Essay on Stakeholder Analysis Model of Change
There are several models of change available for use when organizations begin the process of implementing change. The stakeholder analysis model focuses on the position of key stakeholders in regard to the planned change. Stakeholders in a company include individuals or groups inside or outside the company who can influence the success of the change (Palmer, Dunford, and Akin, 2006). This review ...

Stephen McMennamy, an art director in Atlanta, combines two images to make one really cool one!
He calls them "Combophotos" and they are really clever!
They remind me a little of those mix and match flip children's books. Take a look!
46 balloons + chairlift ?? perhaps the most impractical/fun chairlift ever? once again, balloons proved to be the usual pain in the butt. I kept an eye on the weather for a while before getting the ideal conditions of clear skies and low wind. on meteorological paper you could say I got both, but the slightest breeze wreaks all sorts of havoc on balloons. what you see here was an early (and fortuitous) shot, by the end of this brief, early morning shoot, strings were tangled up like one big balloon dreadlock. check out the wind blown twisted mess over on @combophotofail. I started with 50 balloons and a small helium tank… only four popped during their transport from my kitchen to my favorite parking deck, hence the 46. R.I.P. ????. oh and between us, I yell at balloons almost every time I shoot them. yell like a crazy person. not a fan. I fell better now. #combophoto @jasonsmithatl, I started down the helicopter path based on your suggestion, but this is where I ended up. I tried.
turf + cake just taking samples of earth's delicious core. thanks to @morganlandd for snagging me this piece of turf. and thanks to whoever made this slice of cake over at @thefreshmarket. I took the cake shot back in January (so #tbt I guess?). apparently it can take a while for these things to come together. #combophoto #⛳? A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
headphones + donuts been on a donut bender as of late, so in keeping with said bender, I thought it would be appropriate to take a moment and reminisce with this #combophoto of yore. A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
paintbrush + spaghetti This definitely wasn't my favorite #combophoto of 2016, but it was definitely the most interesting as far as social experiments go. I put it to a vote with another similar execution. This one was the overwhelming favorite, which I never would've guessed. Just proof that I'm bad at judging my own work. Also, I did this on an absolute whim. I literally threw it together before work one morning. I do love how utterly random these things can come together sometimes. On some re-posts there was a lot of positive sentiments coupled with a lot of scrutiny over my bad photoshop skills. All that said, it was the most entertaining from #2016. Thanks for all the support last year, you guys made it great.
tree trunk + elephant trunk I've been wanting to do something with an elephant for a while now, but two things happened with that, I never felt like I had a super solid idea and I don't have access to elephants. Like ever. Cut to me in the Bahamas over thanksgiving and I couldn't help but notice how a lot of the palm trees grew low out the ground and every one of them looked like an elephant head… to me anyway. So that's what rattled around in my head and it quickly led to me obsessing over how to find a way to combine the two. And though I prefer to shoot these #combophotos myself, I also knew my elephant access was super limited. So rather than booking a flight to Africa I went online trying to find the perfect elephant. Which I did and what I found just so happened to work perfectly. This beautiful elephant image was captured behind the lens of Jez Bennett, a phenomenal nature photographer based in Zimbabwe. Huge thanks to Jez and please check out more of his work at… jezbennett.com And a final thanks to the world wide web for being so world wide. A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
bridge + guitar getting this shot of the Brooklyn bridge with @flynyon was one of the more memorable experiences I've ever had. BONUS: we surprised the kids with an aerial excursion over Manhattan and I can honestly say I've never seen my straight-faced daughter smile as much as she did that day. more helicopter views on @combophotofail #combophoto ?? A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
van + roller skate ? this is another throwback, back when I was obsessed with combining wheeled objects (and contrasting scale). I shot the van (courtesy of @steveruggieri) on a backlot in LA and my daughters skate was shot in a parking lot here in Atlanta. The thing that stood out to me with this one was the positive reaction I got after posting it. I just wasn't expecting such a positive response. I can get pretty unsure of myself when things come together too easily, but fun doesn't depend on complexity. #combophoto
flowers & hand + tree ?✋?? here's a little early Mother's Day for Earth Day. and #tbt to 4.543 billion years ago when we got this whole party started. thanks Los Angeles for your cool trees conveniently located near my hotel… and for your blinding sunrise, which did a nice job accentuating the paleness of my skin (I had to shave my burly wrist for this one). #mothersday #earthday #combophoto A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
cherry + bowling ball ?? continuing to look back at some of the earliest #combophotos. this was all shot and edited on my phone. I was impressed with the phone then and two years later, even more so now. A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
hose + waterfall ventured out to Grotto Falls in the Great Smokey Mountains (Tennessee) for this #combophoto. and then ventured out to the bushes in my front yard for the hose shot. hand modeling courtesy of @lmcm2 and freezing cold water modeling courtesy of my brother in law and my youngest daughter. thanks for all the fam love and assistance… ⚡??⚡ A photo posted by stephen mcmennamy (@smcmennamy) on
Aren't they great?! He takes the photos himself too, not relying on images found on the Internet. Impressive!
Be sure to follow the artist on Instagram! That's where he showcases all his work. Also, his most popular Combophotos are available to buy as high-quality prints!

'Estrella' at the Turner Centre
The recital given by 'Estrella' on Saturday, 10 August was a sell out. The quartet from Auckland provided a musical experience which will be long remembered by the large and highly appreciative audience at the Turner Centre. Performing on two grand pianos, Lorelle McNaughton, Somi Kim, Cindy Tsao and Judy Lee set the place alight with their dazzling playing. They lived up to their ever growing reputation as they performed music of solo piano, duet, 6-hands and of course 8 hands.
Their programme included a number of arrangements from the established piano repertoire but of particular interest and merit were the performances by New Zealand composers David Hamilton, Leonie Holmes and Gareth Farr with a number of pieces composed or arranged specifically for the Quartet.
The concert seating was 'in the round' giving the audience a special opportunity to be in close contact with both the performers and music. Another success for Kerikeri and KIPC.

After moving the trailer to the property and moving out of our old house, one of our first tasks was to demolish the mobile home. This ended up being a fiasco. Because mobile homes have wheels they are different than a house (they have a title). The county told us that we needed to give notice to the assessor's office that we planned to demolish the mobile (so we wouldn't be taxed for it). So I called the assessor's office and found out the title of the mobile hadn't been transferred when the land was bought by the logging company (who sold it to us). The logging company never owned the mobile but weren't aware of that, so it delayed the closing process for about a week while they got it worked out. Otherwise we would have been buying land with a mobile home on it that we didn't actually own.
Then we began the process of trying to find a way to demo the mobile. One Friday I called around 20 different places trying to find someone who could/would do it. No luck! We were getting desperate. Then in a total God thing, we met a (super nice, married to barrel racing pro – which the girl went crazy over) neighbor who's wife (the barrel racer) owned a trucking and excavation company. If you're in the Yamhill county area I would totally recommend them. They have been prompt and fantastic to work with. The demo of the mobile home was great fun to watch, but if I had it to do over again, I would try to get all the windows out first!

Trump's Prototype Steel Border Wall Can Be Sawed Through
President Trump's border wall prototype has shown that it has a few more weaknesses than previously expected. The steel slats, which he claims would provide strength and beauty, are vulnerable to sawing. Currently, Stainless Steel 304 is the number one most common grade of stainless steel.
A new photograph from "Pogo Row," the testing site for the steel slat wall, revealed that military personnel were able to destroy the prototype with common tools, particularly a saw.
Though your average steel shipping container can last 25 years with minimal maintenance and repairs, the security needed in a 234-mile border wall might not be achievable with steel slats.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims that steel, though penetrable, will be easy to repair should illegal entry be attempted.
"In the event that one of the steel bollards becomes damaged, it is quick and cost-effective to repair," says Katie Waldman, spokesperson for DHS. "Even a wall that is being breached is a valuable tool in that it allows us to respond to the attempted illegal entry."
However, testing eight prototypes in 2017 proved that all options were prone to breaching, as reported by the February U.S. Customs and Border Protection report in 2018.
Waldman also reports that the prototypes revealed valuable information for the real thing.
"While the design currently being constructed was informed by what we learned in the prototypes, it does not replicate those designs," Waldman reports. "The steel bollard design is internally reinforced with materials that require time and multiple industrial tools to breach, thereby providing U.S. Border Patrol agents additional response time to affect a successful law enforcement resolution."
This prototype disputes the president's promise for a wall he claimed would be impenetrable during his presidential campaign. According to CBS News, the president had also claimed that Mexico would pay for the wall.
Trump is currently in the midst of a partial government shutdown due to debates over funding for the wall. Trump demands about $5.6 billion to fund the steel wall, but pushback from the Democratic party has created a stalemate.

I am putting together a daily meditation program. It is 31 different meditations, one for each day of the month. The readings will be a chapter of Proverbs that corresponds with the day of the month.
Once I get it all together, you will be able to sign-up for the daily reading of Proverbs sent to your phone. This way you can listen to them whenever time allows or you need to get your head centered.
Until then you can listen to them hear. Subscribe to the blog and you will get an email with all the new posts. For the next 31 days you will get the daily reading as I will post them here.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being My priest. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. Hosea 4:6

Still think you should charge for Meeting Room Wifi?
The meeting room has been booked and the presenter arrives to set up their presentation, they open their laptop to see what meeting room wifi connections are available. They find the correct network but notice that its password protected. That's fine, they have a look around the meeting room for the password illustrated on a sticker or a sign but are unable to locate it. They go off to find a team member and ask politely for the meeting room wifi password but are promptly told that they must pay for it – it even costs extra for a high-speed option. Well, that quickly puts a damper on the presenter's mood.
This scenario is commonplace across workspaces worldwide and begs the question: Are you still charging for meeting room wifi?
Wifi, which was once upsold for additional revenue generation, is now an expected commodity. In the same way that a client does not receive an invoice on-charging the air-conditioning, electricity, and water that they consumed, invoicing for wifi seems almost archaic these days.
Free wifi is a drawcard for many people and charging for it could actually be doing more harm than good by deterring the booker from returning to your meeting space. A survey by Hotels.com found that 49% of travelers choose their hotel based on the availability of free wifi. What makes you think people are any different when choosing a meeting room location? Given the prolific nature of public wifi available in places such as shopping centres, fast food restaurants and airports it seems unheard of that wifi is being charged for at all.
What you may not realize is that there is a range of ways the meeting room wifi can be provided for 'free' while still providing a benefit in return.
Buying wifi is relatively cheap however managing its access to an increasingly transient customer base can be costly in terms of technology required, training of staff & vendor management. It can be cheaper to provide free meeting room wifi than to manage processes relating to the charging of wifi.
Factoring wifi in as a commodity allows you to budget its cost alongside your other utilities when setting meeting room prices. By including the cost of the wifi within your prices and advertising free wifi you are winning across the board.
No one expects to get wifi entirely for free and often people are more than happy to provide their email address or contact details in return for wifi. By asking them to opt into marketing material or follow your Social Media pages you can stay connected to them and can encourage them to return to your centre to use your meeting room facilities next time.

Terms of Chabahar Port Agreement Hammered Out
India, Afghanistan and Iran have finalized the text of the Trilateral Agreement on Transport and Transit Corridors, known as the Chabahar Agreement, at the recently held meeting in New Delhi.
The agreement is to pave way for India to access Afghanistan via the Iranian port of Chabahar, bypassing Pakistan, which has limited trade relationship with New Delhi amid diplomatic tensions.
"When the agreement comes into force it will significantly enhance utilization of Chabahar Port, contribute to economic growth of Afghanistan, and facilitate better regional connectivity, including between India and connections to Afghanistan and Central Asia. The agreement will be a strategic bulwark for greater flow of people and goods among the three countries as well as in the region," India's Ministry of External Affairs said.
The finalization of the terms of the agreement come on the back of the lifting of sanctions against Iran which were a major impediment for the trio to move forward with the project dating back to 2013.
In 2015 Government of India assigned USD 100 million for upgrading the port of Chabahar in Iran, the final objective being trade boost with Afghanistan and other Central Asian countries. This was followed by an approval of a USD 150 million credit facility in February to support the development the port.
The investment underlies development of a multiple-use cargo jetty and two container terminals that would decrease transport costs of Indian goods by around 30 % when compared to the country's other waterways.
The Port of Chabahar is the only Iranian port with direct access to the ocean. It is located in southeastern Iran and has access to both the Oman sea and the Persian (Arabian) Gulf. India helped build the port in the 1990s, as it provides access to Afghanistan and Central Asia, bypassing Pakistan.
The agreement is expected to be signed later this year during a visit by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Iran.

The Minor is built around a list of 32 classes spread over both semesters (17 in the autumn, 16 in the spring and 1 in the summer), totaling 106 credits ECTS. They are selected from the existing course offering. This selection offers a combination of theory classes – focusing on comfort, energy, environment and infrastructures – and project-oriented classes. In order to obtain the Minor, 30 credits ECTS have to be validated from this list of courses throughout the duration of the Master.
In order to ensure the fully interdisciplinary character of the Minor, the list of 32 classes is separated in two groups ("Core courses" and "Theory courses"). 14 credits ECTS must be obtained in each group (for a total of 30 credits ECTS). Moreover, the student must obtain at least 10 credits ECTS (out of the total of 30) in a section outside that in which he is registered.
The table below provides an overview of the course offering within the proposed Minor structure:
Credits obtained for ENAC projects with themes related to IDEAS programme can be validated as credits obtained in an "outside" section, as long as the project covers topics that clearly go beyond those taught within the student's section and the director of the ENAC project, or one of the co-directors in case of a co-direction, is affiliated to another section and discipline as that of the student.

Wheat, by M
Oh wheat, why have you become my devil. My bane. I'm not even going to get started on corn and dairy.

a cash cow, let's be honest
Another weird thing on the way to RDU this weekend: the BK apple fries. We stopped for a rest room run and the children wanted a snack, so I picked something small for all 3 of us… apple fries. It's an apple cut into the shape of fries and served in a fry box. Clever, right? I thought so, until I had to pay $1.49 for each one. I mean… honestly, it's not that expensive, but it's an apple. $1.49 for a single apple is appalling, I feel. Not only that, but it's not even a whole apple, it's more like half an apple. [The picture, needless to say, is soooo not accurate; there's got to be some sort of shelf in the bottom of that box, and it is certainly more stuffed than the boxes we received.] Sliced with what I'm sure was either a machine or a gadget—really easy preparation. On the one hand, both kids were kind of excited at the concept of apple fries and scarfed them down, regardless of my hiding the caramel packets, which is great. On the other hand, I feel BK is discouraging healthy choices by drastically overcharging for this small menu item. I'm just saying. Maybe if I had ordered the meal, instead of a la carte? Why do they gotta play games.

rdu: recap
This weekend, drove up to rdu area for brief visit with family and friends. No plans, rhyme or reason, really, though there was a gigantic consignment sale of kids' items at the fairgrounds, to which I went, determined to score a dresser or possibly even a bed for my children, but no such luck. However, it was still a treasure trove to which I'll venture again a few months from now, better prepared. Like I'll actually bring bags or other, possibly wheeled, container to put things in, rather than assuming that carrying armloads of games and clothes and toys and things, while navigating a side-by-side stroller filled with two cranky children is plausible. It's harrowing, is what it is.
Tour Highlights:
- On the drive up, I was convinced I saw a real, live man perched on the very top of a billboard. On the way back, I saw that it was a dummy, with a dummy sign, something like, "I can see such-and-such car lot from here!" Glad the man was okay.
- Driving J.Lo's vehicle (for supposed, non-existent furniture pickup) was briefly unnerving, being different and bigger than my own vehicle… then eventually empowering, in that section of I-40 where it's claustrophobic and everyone drives a little crazy. Briefly pondered Bigger is Better Power Complex ingrained in our society. Would I be affected?
- Although, speaking of said claustrophobic I-40 section, many were abiding by the speed limit? Which I found odd. I guess the police department needs money and drivers need to keep their money? Or maybe it was an odd couple of days.
- The children didn't sleep well the first night, continuing the trend…
- I've concluded that my children's behavior isn't necessarily abominable, but it seems as such when I'm sleep-deprived. It's a sad and stuck perception for all of us, difficult to extract oneself from…
- Caught up a little on sleep Friday night, thanks to my mom, who stayed with K.Lo. Thank heaven.
- At the sale, my favorite find of all was a set of Hogwarts robes for the kids' dress-up bin. Gryffindor!
- Took home bounty of garden veggies from my parents: tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, zucchini. Yum!
- Saturday: farmer's market with friend J, and though I've been several times before, this visit was borderline depressing, putting our local markets to shame. RDU's is perhaps 20x bigger, open 7 days a week, with so many more vendors and variety and shoppers. Which incidentally drives the prices down. And then there were several meat and poultry vendors, another thing we simply don't have much access to in ILM. It's very limited by comparison…. ah, whatever. Can't really afford it anyway. Stocked up on peaches and onions and corn, and fresh lemonade.
- I ordered 2 cups of ice cream intending to share with all, and then it's like no one wanted any, so I had all this ice cream to myself.
- Which was fine, but the next stop with a cupcake bakery. (Joined up w/ friend N.) Chose a Brown Betty, spilled cup of water into my purse while cleaning up children.
- And then the stop after that was a chocolate shop. Sheesh! Amazing chocolate, though, some of my favorite ever. Stocked up on a couple of bars, though my company opted to select small boxes of hand-painted chocolates with alluring combinations such as chocolate and lavender and I can't even remember what else… next time.
- Though I sort of hate the feeling of "catch-up" on returning, it can be good to get out of town sometimes if one is in a rut or funk… I feel shaken out of it, for the moment. Hooray. :)

Dear Penelope, by M
perhaps too much is happening in my head and i need an isolation tank. and everything around me too intense and vibrating. and its the hot days and the jobless wonder, right before the searching comes and the breeze cools, right when the bills are due and not being sure if the EDD is coming through. or feeling that push to go off to a far off place and already knowing the loss of change. that, something is coming. something, like i said, rough and hard.
but anyway its time to sleep. probably tomorrow it'll vanish and the anxiety will recede, but maybe it won't and then i'll remember why. or i'll be in the waters writing and painting and finding my way back again to all the concrete parts of me.

the cracked glass
I posted this article yesterday on FB, mainly in reference to my week, which has been… trying. It turns out that I wasn't born patient(!), and I have to work on it daily. Some days are much more successful than others, and then I maybe get a little too proud of any practiced patience, thinking that it can come easy, when in fact it does not.
Here is the important quote referenced in the article:
"You see this goblet?" asks Achaan Chaa, the Thai meditation master. "For me this glass is already broken. I enjoy it; I drink out of it. It holds my water admirably, sometimes even reflecting the sun in beautiful patterns. If I should tap it, it has a lovely ring to it. But when I put this glass on the shelf and the wind knocks it over or my elbow brushes it off the table and it falls to the ground and shatters, I say, 'Of course.' When I understand that the glass is already broken, every moment with it is precious."
So, thinking in terms of my occupation, I've got two little inevitably broken glasses in my hands: lovely, beautiful, precious. I do appreciate them, more than I can say. I appreciate them much less in lack of sleep and lack of space; sleep and space are ingredients to the ideal penelope. Without sleep and space, it is much more difficult to expect the glasses will break and then to accept the brokenness.
After reading the article last night, today I found the concept a virtually impossible mental hurdle: Yes, I expect one of my glasses to be incorrigible, pesty, whiny, overemotional, uncompromising, needy, lazy, stubborn, AND defiant, all stinking day long. But does that make it okay?
On the other hand, maybe I'm off on the definition of "expect," twisting it all up with the word "dread."
Even more likely, I am in my under-rested, feeling-crowded state, over-thinking the matter entirely, which always leads to trouble. I'm guessing the whole point of the exercise is to not really think or analyze too much, lest you crack the glass just by looking at it. Patience does not come easily to me, and nor does the not-thinking. The more you try, the more it eludes you… And with that thought, I'm off to have some wine, watch a movie, and not-think for a little while.

The Purple in My Eyes, by M
My plan is to tune up the diet, heal the intestines, tune up the spine, detox!? the body (maybe), and then she put in a box on the page as if even to her it was important or at least unusual she wrote "spiritual healing"... upper cervical (so in my neck, where i got hit by that wave when i was a kid)... and I'm like hmm? Hmm.
Still I am all HMM, about it.
But again she says there's a disturbance. Says that people who are sensitive are often physically and spiritually beat up because of it. And that my body needs to know it can function beyond survival. That I need to feel safe in Gods arms- i suppose even when being beaten up by waves at the beach... but still what might that look like and feeling pretty sure you have it... though that color I saw swimming in my eyes must mean something. Because it was a calm sure place that was really beautiful, if nothing else, if anything that's what it was.

do birds feel grief?
Yesterday I was sitting in the backyard while the children played on their waterslide, and out of the blue there was a random *thunk.* A bird's nest fell out of our Japanese maple. And it turned out there had been an egg in it, and it did not survive. Sadness! No commotion of birdspeak, feathers or flying followed the incident, and so perhaps it was just gravity. Or poor planning on the part of the builder? I couldn't help but wonder about the mama bird who just lost one of her young, and whether she knew it was her fault, or not, and did she lament the fallen nest and egg on the ground. Or maybe it was just an *oops,* or a *damn, that's inconvenient,* and she moved on to build a new nest and lay the rest of her eggs without lingering. I suppose I'll never know the answer, but it was still sad, anyway. And I swear I still don't like birds. Okay, maybe a little bit. Maybe.
Prelude to: The Purple in My Eyes, by M
So then I go on this volcano trip and I lose about 13/14 lbs. Which is about 2+lbs every week I was gone. What did I eat you ask? What I wanted. I had canned peaches, eggs and bacon every morning, almonds, dried fruit, chicken, broccoli, whatever looked good on the menu- burritos, fries, ocassional burgers even. Granted the pace was so vigorous that my body was no longer able to ignore the fact that I was being active. I came back in better shape. My lung capacity was improved- look out world. Then having acclimated to the vigors of travel I kicked up my workouts. I jogged. I almost got back to my 15min mile pace I had in college (which for me was fast, and when I was working out 5/6x a week). I hiked. I swam. I severely curtailed my addiction to breakfast mcmuffins. 4 months later the scale hovered a little above a little below where I left it. THEN I get a job for 3 wks where I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day, moving here, there, and everywhere, up and down ladders, or just sitting for 5 hours painting grout lines and I lose 3/4lbs. What was I eating you ask? Whatever I wanted. I even every week indulged in chicken nuggets and fries. I ate eggs and potatos and bacon and sausage everyday. I ate chicken, roasted vegetables. Nut and fruit medleys. Ocassional kitkat bar minis and fruit.
There's something obviously about what I chose to eat myself here in the real world that must be sabotaging me. So finally, I after all this time, about musing about my thyroid going haywire or whatever it occurs to me that instead of paying a lab +doctors fee to tell me whats wrong ($400 w/out insurance) then I'll go to this holistic healer person my friend Danica and I know. And see if she knows.
And Danica is one of the straightest shooters I know, so if she's willing to give this whatever it is a try. Then why not.

Glass in my Foot, by M
And instead of pounding me down into the bottom of the sea as it used to I floated blissfully on top, dutifully lit the candles, burned the incense and wondered, how exactly does one meditate and on what exactly? I felt compelled to after my visit with the holistic chick. Wrote it down even, like an assignment. Meditate 1 hour. Which I always long to do, in the yard, with a long list of Bible verses at my side. I never do though. So to open up, and its often criticized, I flipped through the Bible and randomly landed at a passage. Normally Psalms. I am possibly hedging my bets that its going to be good but it usually is somehow shockingly theme appropriate. Here is the one from the other night:
Psalm 92
A psalm. A song. For the Sabbath day.
1 It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, 2 to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, 3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. 4 For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the works of your hands. 5 How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts! 6 The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, 7 that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be forever destroyed. 8 But you, O LORD, are exalted forever.
For one, its a song for the sabbath, classic! day of rest, what am i doing? resting... listening. And with enya i've got the lyres and the harps sort of... so anyway then i thought the bed was too comfortable and so I got on the floor, (after about 50 min in i went to scratch my right thigh and found i couldn't feel it. Which was an odd sensation to arrive at. I wonder if it meant something)So I began, took deep breaths and meandered my way to the theme of the meditation which was my health and the main things that came to me were these,
first: Not my will but His will, not my struggle but His struggle, not my success but His success. Mainly in an act of giving it over to God, my body, which is His.
middle: As the holistic chick requested I phrase the term weightloss into a positive, which is something I often point out to other people. Negative thinking. Tsk. Lets turn that around and call it, I would like to be at my optimum weight which got me thinking, I would also like an optimum job and an optimum relationship and in an optimum place I would be traveling. And all of this thematically wound around being able to help people, being able to belong, and being able to serve.
2nd middle: Ask for help, Ask for healing. I am not good at being active in asking, deliberate or intentional in this area. Mostly because i'm a little obsessive and it plays like a loop until it breaks- this hurts, that aches, this frustrates, this annoys- i'm sure there's a request in there somewhere but they're often statements that need a little more recipe to them than that.
Last: I turned, with no deliberation, to where I am on my spiritual landscape. Since Nov 2007 I've been, first near a stream in dappled light looking toward a far off mountain, then walking toward the mountain with jesus, then a little further up, then sitting and waiting on a wheat strewn side of the mountain, (never mind that i eventually found myself on a volcano tour climbing a mountain and meeting god there) but on the mountain it is always warm and always pleasant looking out into the valley, where just once i saw a black tree grow and then was cut down, and then waiting at dawn/dusk on an outcropping of the mountain intermittently windy and calm, further up so that the sky was all that i saw, then the place got a little larger and flatter, like the waiting would be longer, and intermittently, lately there's been a small cabin surrounding me, sometimes there's a broom, other times not, and the minute i realize there's a roof and walls, it gets ripped off and sails, or is flung right off and out to the right of me and disappears into a bright blue sky. I can no longer see the valley below though I remember it.
So when I went there again, this is the first time it has ever been at night, I was dancing with someone on the wood of the cabin floor, no roof to be seen, but a few walls, and i was happy and had an exalted feeling, and as I turned to look down there was a piece of glass in my right foot, and I couldn't keep turning, and in my mind I kept trying to forward the image so that the glass was gone and the dancing could continue but in my image I just sat down and the man was holding my foot and sitting on a stool. And I sitting on a bench in low firelight.
And then Enya clicked off and my right thigh was waking up from its issues and I was left with pondering if, and this actually did happen when I was 3, what stepping on glass has to do with anything and is it me that put it there or was something more sinister involved. The actual incident was that my mom warned me not to play with the glass and I did anyway and the bottle broke and i stepped on it, then i had to get stitches and the doctor pretended to be santa claus and i was angry at the man for lying and i, to this day still have a very wide 2 stich x----x scar on the pad of my right foot. So that in my mental landscape I often find when I am in a dark place or feeling attacked, it is often by glass, either flying toward or raining down upon me or coming up from the ground. So that it seems significant that there appears to be glass in my foot in the last part of my meditation. Perhaps it is warning me against willfulness, or that there will be someone there to remove it finally, whatever wound this really is. I am curious about the answer.

M's Post Work Outing
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
I'm sharing this company photo series here rather than over at Lo.Co., mainly because the point of this post is more that I am picky. This charming little pool that I bought today at Target for $29.99 will be returned shortly. Yes, one can actually return a pool, with the help of a towel, a deflation device, a strong arm, and some packing tape. And a stubborn streak. I didn't particularly want to spend much on a pool, I was more figuring on $15 or so, but then I thought I'd go ahead and get this one with the slide, because N.Lo would be more likely to use it. The enticement would be worth a mere fifteen bucks: He's not a big fan of the water these days, but is a big fan of slides. And indeed, he did try to make it up and down the inflatable slide. K.Lo tried, too, she really did. But, the thing was generally unwieldy with no slip-slide factor to it at all, and after a quick brainstorm, I just moved the whole pool over to our real slide, which worked fantastically. They both had such fun, with about an inch of water in the pool. But then I thought, okay, I'm now stuck with this inflatable slide, which is both useless and landfill, and I essentially paid way more for the pool package as a whole because of said slide. And that irked me. It's not just the money, but more the principle of spending every penny wisely and also refusing to be ripped off? Maybe it's not worth the trouble, but I also think that's what the companies count on… In the meantime, I'll either purchase another small, simple pool as a replacement and rig it up to the bottom of the slide, or do what I perhaps should have done in the first place, which is to see if the hard plastic pool sitting in the back corner of the yard can be salvaged. It's sort of a swamp land at the moment, but maybe with a good scrub. This entire predicament could have been avoided had I tried that procedure to begin with, perhaps, but learning is so much fun and I try to do it often. Anyway, considering the fun we did have while it lasted, I don't see the morning as a total waste. Weee!
good, bad & ugly
Finally, finally, the okra has a blossom! I have heard they are beautiful flowers, isn't it lovely?
And, I have a pepper! Salsa, anyone?
Oh, but wait. All my tomatoes are being eaten by worms. A single, hideous green worm has taken up residence in my last two reds and wasted them. YUCK.
My basil, on the other hand, is nearly as tall as me. It's staked. I have to trim the tops after so many days away, although although at this point, I'm not sure it needs much more encouragement to grow.
My random sage has pretty white flowers, and the roses continue to bloom. The zucchini and squash, on the other hand, are pretty much done producing, and today I trashed 3/4 of them, as enough green continues to grow and smother my cucumbers. I'm hoping now the cucumbers will make a comeback with more room and light, but it may be a lost cause. Stay tuned.

My Favorite Summer Flower, by M
Saturday, July 4, 2009
Dear Penelope, by M
i'm going to see that holistic chick on monday. good thing i asked if she took creditcards. allocated some funds, sort of, and should be no problem. funny its cash. waiting for my last paycheck to come in anyway. and since i love analysis of me i hope she's got some interesting things to say.
weighed myself on friday and seemed to have inexplicably lost 2lbs. i don't at all know where they've got to. swam my 20laps and inhaled some pool water in the bargain. don't at all know how to really get chlorine out of the hair. the tips of my hair are bleach blonde. saw this blackwoman taking somesort of wrap to her hair, a plastic cap and then a swimming cap. wonder if she came out dry. should maybe get one along with another pair of goggles. maybe i'll join weightwatchers after i lose 100lbs and become obsessive about slices of bread. but either way can't wait to yoga with you one day. maybe one day when we have full screen video chat skype conversations we can be side by side.
meeting kerry's boy on sunday. heard that within 36 hours they had 2 good phone conversations. at the beach yesterday another girl said it'd been 3 days since her boy had called her after their first date but i guess he called in btw the beach and the yogurt shop. so free and clear there. wondering if we could all be in relationships all at once so we're not all (meaning me) annoyed by such talk of the minuit progress of such things. no stopping it anyway i guess. and its fun? when i got stung by that bee it was hourly updates about swelling and discomfort. new relationships might be alot like getting stung by happyinducing nettles. and then its all vague mysterious interactions.
yesterday it was so windy at aforementioned frolicking spot it was picking up in a steady storm and salting us head to toe. i had sand in my ears and some other places. took my friends son spinning to mars, pluto and saturn at least 10times, drew a crab, that's not what a crab looks like, drew a shark, that's not what a shark looks like, and so on. surfed the pretty warm waves of seal beach. then had dutch chocolate frozen yogurt piled with chopped almonds and fruit. glad yogurt is making a comeback after its death in the late 90's. came home then and washed lolly down to her rims. spent the night having sister wendy telling me about art down to 'nasty pointy shoes', 'cleave of the buttocks' and so on. it was pretty great.
got up without a todo list. though i'm staring at one. maybe work on my cenAm albums. finish my letter to my 38yrold self. either way. its time.

The Last Days, by M
the last days went by anti-climatically enough. and everything in these pictures literally no longer exists. returned to prop houses, cut up and put in dumpsters... and nothing too much exciting happened. the AD stormed off and quit bcs the DP told her to fuck off and she took 3 of her crew with her. but the next day like a vacuum everyone was replaced. and the production designer told me as he walked by me painting a vase, thats great, then later, no that's too grey... i mean i know its in black and white but still... lets paint it alabaster. ok.
the last night of shooting went long like the nights always did and i left before it was over thinking, ok, see you all at the wrap party and my final check better be in the mail!
over all i give the experience 4/5 stars. a definite win/win and now onto the jobhunt? or at the very least some lazy days in front of the tv.

Recruitment Principles
Departmental Compliance
Exception Forms
Recruitment Complaints
NDPB Accreditation
It is a requirement of the
Constitutional Reform and Governance Act
that selection for recruitment to the Civil Service must be on merit on the basis of fair and open competition. The Commission has a statutory duty to ensure that the merit requirement is upheld and is not being undermined. In upholding the merit requirement the Commission considers itself to be a guardian of principles and not of processes.
The Commission's
Recruitment Principles
are the key source document to which departments and agencies must refer for the Commissioners' interpretation of the statutory requirement of appointment on merit on the basis of fair and open competition. The Recruitment Principles also outline the circumstances in which appointments may be made as
to the merit requirement.
The Recruitment Principles are high level. It is for departments and agencies to develop and apply recruitment processes that best meet their business needs, while following the Recruitment Principles.
Civil Service Commissioners chair selection panels for all external recruitment competitions (i.e. a recruitment competition welcoming applications from outside the Civil Service) at Senior Civil Service pay band 2 (Directors), pay band 3 (Director General) and Permanent Secretary levels.
Commissioners also chair internal competitions at SCS pay band 3 and Permanent Secretary level under the terms of the
Senior Appointments Protocol
, agreed with the Head of the Civil Service.
The Civil Service Commissioners only chair open recruitment competitions for the most senior posts in the Civil Service. The Commission has a
and capability monitoring programme to provide assurance that selection for appointment to the Civil Service at other levels meets the statutory requirement.

Overview of our research activities
Current projects
Automated parking in car parks
Synergies through cooperation and standardization in manufacturer-independent automated parking
Project period: 10.2018 – 12.2020
- APCOA PARKING Deutschland GmbH
- trive®.me (brand of EDAG Engineering GmbH)
- GOLDBECK GmbH
- NavCert GmbH
- PRETHERM GmbH
Consortium Lead
Past Projects
Automatic vehicle emergency call - eCall
Improvements to existing standards in conjunction with recommendations for the safe use of eCall systems
HeERO addressed the pan-European in-vehicle emergency call service "eCall", which is based on the pan-European emergency number 112. During the three-year project period (2011-2013), the HeERO consortium from nine European countries launched the harmonized, interoperable 112-based emergency call system (E112). In 2013, a new consortium consisting of 6 countries launched the HeERO II project. NavCert was project manager for the overall evaluation in both projects. This included performing tests under real conditions and validating against the common European eCall standards established by European standardization bodies. The result was a wide range of improvements to existing standards in conjunction with recommendations for the safe use of eCall systems.
In I_HeERO, the necessary control center infrastructure has been prepared to ensure the eCall service and the compatibility with the European-wide introduction of eCall in September 2017. NavCert focus was on the definition and implementation of a conformity assessment of all control centers. All control centers were legally committed to this conformity assessment, provided that they process emergency calls based on 112.
Subproject of the "Schaufenster Elektromobilität Niedersachsen"
Data protection compliant information and data platform providing information of interest to other sub-projects or third parties
ICT Services provides inter-transport, interregional services to users of electric mobility and providers of regional mobility services. In addition, it provides an information and data platform that provides information of general interest to other subprojects or third parties (eg statistics on the use of vehicles and loading points).
GNSS supported driver assistance systems
In FAMOS, three location-based driver assistance applications were examined: entry and exit assistant, green driving and center of gravity warning system. These were prototypically realized on a test platform. Our focus was on the applicability of emerging automotive standards to ISO 26262, validation of development and identification of a certification scheme.
In the GENEVA project, proactive and scalable assistance systems were developed that are specially adapted to the complex situation in city traffic. These assistance systems increase and improve traffic safety in the urban area for all road users. Our focus was on the applicability of emerging automotive standards to ISO 26262, validation of development and identification of a certification scheme.

Building the Right Environment to Support AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning
On Wednesday at its developer conference in San Francisco, Samsung took the wraps off a new Internet of Things (IoT) service it calls ARTIK Cloud. The cloud computing service provides tools for creating apps that can securely collect, store, analyze and respond to IoT data. "The launch of this exciting new platform not only signals Samsung's foray into the cloud services market but reinforces our belief that, by creating powerful open platforms, we can harness the information generated by IoT to develop new insights and new approaches to address the major global challenges of today and tomorrow," said Young Sohn, president and chief strategy officer for Samsung.
Samsung offers a range of other IoT hardware and software products under the ARTIK brand name.

Monday, Karen will leave for Thailand, Bangkok to be with our friend who is recovering, very well by the way, from a gender change operation this past week. It has been a long and sometimes difficult journey which has now come to the beginning of a new journey for her. We are so blessed that our friend has gone through with this in such a fine way, with dignity and freedom that has taught us in a new way what these words mean for all. To be a contractor, as our friend is, in one of the poorest rural counties in Wisconsin most your life and in the last three years decide you are going to be who you really are is a witness of grace and strength that speaks to all of us. One day she told me that her business had continued to grow in the community where she has been for many years as a man. A witness to the humanity of people here or wherever they are. Her local congregation has been supportive as well, along with her family & friends.
Karen will be with her for a week and then come back home for a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration, no I did not hit a wild turkey, we bought one, and then on the 30th we both head for another exciting event in our lives, the Parliament of World Religions in Melbourne, Australia and after that a few days with friends in New Zealand will then home for Christmas, a New Year, and more exciting things in 2010, my 70 year!
Check out the Parliament web site, the issues to be discussed and celebrated and all the others wonderful events of this meeting from Dec 3-9, 2009:
The article below, interestingly came out in the NYT today. Sarah reminds me of our good friend Symantha, determined, compassionate, strong & daring. What a witness of humanity to us all, I cry not out of sadness but joy for them both and for all my sisters and brothers who make this journey in secret often, but then come out to be who they know in their hearts and souls who they are. What a gift of grace for all humanity. Thank you Sarah! Thank you Symantha!
Generation B - A Work of Courage and Determination - NYTimes.com
Have a wonderful Sabbath Time whatever your spiritual practice and a wonderful Thanksgiving. We do have so much to remember daily that we can be grateful for, even though these are difficult times for so many. May there be health care for all people in this world. May we finally lean that war does not work, peace does and move out of Iraq and Afghanistan. May the leaders of this world talk and act for peace, justice and compassion for all people and may we care for the earth and all its creatures for coming generations and life times.
Peace and love in this moment and always, ko shin, Bob Hanson

Money's appeal couldn't be more obvious, yet coins specifically bring to mind values intrinsic, speculative or esthetic. By no means neglecting the first two, the Royal Canadian Mint has been emphasizing the third, and in ways increasingly innovative. Issuing over 200 such products each year, its "coins" have become more and more exotic. That shows in two recent releases, which can be said to source their materials from the end of the Earth and beyond.
"As a commercial Crown corporation, we don't rely on any taxpayer funding to finance our operations," explains communications officer Alex Reeves. "So we need to finance ourselves and that has led us to a number of competitive fields, collector coins being one, bullion being a big part of it as well, and foreign circulating coins also."
Although this year's Q1 results suggest more modest gains, the Mint reported a 2017 consolidated profit of $36.1 million, up from $24.5 million the previous year and buoyed partly by Canada 150 collectibles. Ottawa raked in $93.2 million in dividends last year.
While the Bank of Canada prints paper money, the Mint strikes currency coins for Canada as well as countries on every continent. Its bullion, especially the one-ounce Maple Leaf gold coin, is sought after by the world's speculators and hoarders, as well as collectors.
But can the Mint's increasingly creative collectibles still be considered coinage? Yes, according to Reeves. "They are coins by definition as legal tender, having a denomination and identifying country of origin," he points out. That doesn't mean they can't be innovative. "Collectors come to us from all over the world so innovation helps us stand out in a crowded marketplace. We use it to get people's attention and increase the appeal of our products."

The match ended up being very intricate, Dedenne GX attacked, and the series ended in a double KO. Thanks so much for the games. I wish they were recorded somehow. Hope I get to play you again in the future!

Rumors of Amazon's interest in entering the healthcare space became reality with the announcement earlier this year of a venture with JPMorgan Chase and Berkshire Hathaway. But it looks like the online retail giant has bigger plans. Amazon announced plans for a merger with PillPack, an online pharmacy.
"PillPack's visionary team has a combination of deep pharmacy experience and a focus on technology," says Jeff Wilke, Amazon CEO Worldwide Consumer. "PillPack is meaningfully improving its customers' lives, and we want to help them continue making it easy for people to save time, simplify their lives, and feel healthier. We're excited to see what we can do together on behalf of customers over time."
The transaction will have to receive regulatory approvals. Amazon and PillPack expect the deal to be completed by the end of the year.
"Together with Amazon, we are eager to continue working with partners across the healthcare industry to help people throughout the U.S. who can benefit from a better pharmacy experience," said TJ Parker, co-founder and CEO of PillPack.
After the deal was announced, CVS and Walgreens stocks were trading lower after the announcement, but both appear to have rebounded in early trading.

The important things in life
A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous "Yes."
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car.
The sand is everything else. The small stuff."
"If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued "there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party and fix the disposal.
Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
Best Gifts To Give:
Lots of Reasons to Smile :)
When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry,
show the world that….
You have thousand reasons to SMILE.
