2019 Mazda CX-3 vs. 2019 Kia Niro
Compact crossover SUVs, like the Mazda CX-3, are among the most popular models in the entire automotive industry. Mazda has set its compact crossover SUV for success in this particularly competitive segment by providing strong performance and efficiency scores which are wrapped in one of the most stylish packages available. A comparison of the 2019 Mazda CX-3 vs. 2019 Kia Niro reveals a few interesting advantages for the newest version of the Mazda crossover SUV. There are more than a few areas where 2019 Mazda CX-3 is able to outshine its Kia rival. Gorman McCracken Mazda has received its first delivery of the new Mazda Crossover SUV. Anyone who is interested in learning more about the 2019 Mazda CX-3 can schedule a test drive today by calling, 903-686-9319.
Just about every automaker operating in the United States makes a version of a compact crossover SUV – and all of them offer pretty similar lists of standard equipment. Both the 2019 Mazda CX-3 and 2019 Kia Niro are outfitted with touchscreen-based infotainment system, Bluetooth connectivity gear and some USB ports. However, of the two crossover SUVs, only the 2019 Mazda CX-3 comes with active safety systems as standard equipment. Each available trim of the 2019 Mazda CX-3 at Gorman McCracken Mazda comes with frontal collision warning with low-speed automaker emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Performance Specs and Drivetrain Info
Both the 2019 Mazda CX-3 and 2019 Kia Niro offer just one powertrain option. The 2019 Mazda CX-3 is powered by a naturally aspirated 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine attached to a six-speed automatic transmission. On the other side of the equation, the 2019 Kia Niro uses a slightly smaller 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine with a version of the six-speed automatic gear-changer of its own. Future owners of the 2019 Mazda CX-3 can expect the crossover SUV to produce 148 horsepower, outpacing the 2019 Niro that tops out at 139 horsepower. Additionally, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 can be equipped with the automaker's all-wheel-drive system. The new Niro crossover SUV doesn't offer this capability.

The New EU Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) and In vitro Diagnostics Regulation (IVDR) were approved by the EU Parliament on April 5, 2017. The final regulations, expected to be published in May 2017, would trigger a transition starting date of – or around – June 1, 2017. More specifically, the transition periods for the MDR and IVDR are three (3) and five (5) years, respectively.
Increased Regulatory Oversight
The new regulations dramatically increase the regulatory rigor to obtain and maintain Conformité Européene (CE) Marking, especially in regards to pre- and post-market clinical data and evidence. Class III and implantable device manufacturers will be required to conduct clinical trials for all devices. However, in lieu of clinical trial data, Class III and implantable device manufacturers may claim equivalence to devices owned by another company if they have a contract with that company granting full access to their proprietary technical documentation.
Although manufacturers of lower class devices will not be not required to have a contract in place, they will still need to demonstrate that they have sufficient access to related data pertaining to the equivalent device. It is important to note that even if a manufacturer is able to utilize published data from the equivalent competitive device organization, the requirements for extraction, analysis and presentation of the data are expected to become more onerous.
Increased Use of Clinical Evaluations Reports
Existing IVD and medical device organizations may be tasked by a manufacturer to conduct the clinical evaluation and prepare a Clinical Evaluation Report (CER), and meet specific education and experience requirements. With the increased importance of the CER in the CE Mark assessment process, it behooves manufacturers to have a gap assessment performed comparing their CERs against the MDR and MEDEV 2.7.1 requirements and prepare a mitigation plan as soon as possible.
Aside from the increased clinical evidence requirements, the revised MDR results in 'up-classification' of multiple devices. These include surgical meshes, spinal disc replacements, and implants that contact the spinal column, which will now be considered Class III devices. Reusable Class I instruments must now be reviewed by the Notified Body (NB), similar to Class I sterile devices.
Greater Impact to IVD Manufacturers
Although the MDR changes will significantly impact the medical device industry, this pales in comparison to the IVD marketplace. Under the current system, only 10-20 percent of IVDs require NB certification. This rate is expected to increase to 80-90 percent under the new IVDR. Additionally, the new regulation requires preparation of Clinical Evidence Reports, a new concept for IVD manufacturers.
Technical Files for devices and IVDs will need to be overhauled to meet the new requirements and NB expectations. This process should include a gap assessment between the current MDD/IVDD Essential Requirements and the new General Safety & Performance Requirements to identify whether additional data must be generated to demonstrate compliance to new or revised requirements. Bringing Technical Files up to the new standards will be especially painful for manufacturers that have products that were previously self-certified, as historically they have been minimally compliant.
Increased Oversight of Notified Bodies
Manufacturers won't be the only entities impacted by the new regulations, but Notified Bodies will experience a significant impact given greater oversight by the Member States and EU regulatory bodies. Existing NBs must reapply for NB designation under the new regulations. It is expected that approximately 50 percent of NBs may not be re-notified, or may have their scope reduced.
Successful IVD and Medical Device Manufacturers Will Start Planning Now
Although three and five year transition periods seem rather long, given the many implementation changes that will be required, the expiration dates will come before manufacturers realize it. The time to start discussing a strategy and detailed road map is now if IVD and medical device firms wish to not only be adequately prepared, but also successful under the new regulations.
Identifying the Right Regulatory Strategy
The new EU regulations will significantly impact already resource-constrained device manufacturers, making it potentially even more difficult to navigate this unique regulatory landscape. That's why having the right partner from the start can be invaluable in achieving successful implementation and market success.
NAMSA's global regulatory experts welcome the opportunity to discuss the new IVDR and MDR regulations with you, including potential business impacts – and more importantly – how to plan for success.

What is Church Branding?
Building a church brand is not about portraying your church's functions or features. It goes beyond your church logo design, name, tagline, denomination, and graphic identity. These are just signifiers of what your church represents.
Ultimately, your church branding strategy should encompass efforts to build the reputation of your organization.YOU can facilitate the imagery, emotions, and facts that influence what your congregation and visitors hear, read, or think about your church. YOU can facilitate how your organization's unique role and promise, values, and missions are lived out and upheld.
Why is a Church Branding Strategy Important?
When people view your church or Christianity for the first time, there is one inevitable, back-of-the-mind question-"Why should I care?" Even your congregation's attention, attendance, and actions subliminally operate around this question. Your church's brand should readily serve as the answer.
How Does Building a Church Brand aid the process of bringing others to Christ?
Building a church branding strategy can be somewhat complicated. Establishing an impactful reputation is a difficult task. However, articulating how your church wishes to be perceived is not impossible! It just takestime to plan, execute, and evolve a sound church brand strategy that performs the following:
1- Aim to portray a very clear purpose, rather than to give a description of the mode of operation of the church. Your branding should fully embody who you are as Church.
2- Communicate why your ministry matters to the community and the world. Develop a unique position and message that the garners support you need to bring others to Christ.
3- Communicate the essence of your existence as opposed to the day-to-day functions of your church. Express the sum of your church's ministry, denomination, values, behaviors, and visual signifiers.
4- Building upon generational legacy, submerge the brand strategy into your church's cultural fabric, and your desired thought associations will morph into physiological concepts held in the minds of your audience.
5- Don't try to fully control your church's brand or the minds of your intended audience. God gives man free will. With our Church Logo & Brand Identity System design services, we will establish a core promise, identity, and reputation that influences others to seek, find, and support your brand of spiritual output and fellowship. Most importantly, we will inspire actions within your growing community to reinforce your church's reputation, and carry out God's will. The overall importance of church branding is to showcase Him at work.

The 12 Minute Affiliate System
Should an organisation have a separate e-marketing plan defining its strategic approach to the Internet, either for the organisation as a whole or for specific markets or brands? Consider Figure 4.2. You will be familiar with the hierarchy of plans for an organisation, from a corporate or business plan which informs a marketing plan which in turn informs a communications plan and campaign briefs for different markets or brands. But where does the e-marketing plan fit? Does the organisation need one? Figure 4.2 suggests that an e-marketing plan may be useful to manage the 'e-campaign components' which refers to online communications tools such as online advertising or e-mail marketing or continuous e-marketing activities which may be conducted throughout the year to drive traffic, for example search engine marketing, affiliate marketing or online sponsorship.
You may be thinking that the marketer already has enough plans to deal with. Surely the practical approach for companies that are embracing e-marketing is to integrate e-marketing activities within their existing planning frameworks? But we believe that in many organisations, a distinct e-marketing plan is initially essential if the organisation is to effectively harness digital marketing. Since online channels are new, it is even more imperative to have clarity within the organisation. An e-marketing specialist can create an e-marketing plan to help inform and influence not only senior managers or directors and other non-marketing functions, but also to achieve buy-in from fellow marketers.

Weighted Piano Keys
Weighted Piano Keys You may have noticed that some pianos are easier to play while others require more effort. Some appear more uniform and smooth in the note-to-note relationship, and in others, the feeling is that each key requires special treatment to produce a uniform sound. The reasons for this are manifold, including softer or harder

Boston College coach Frank Spaziani wasn't worried even though Clemson seemed to be threatening the entire second half.
Chase Rettig threw a 36-yard touchdown pass to Montel Harris, Nate Freese made a pair of field goals, and the Eagles snapped a five-game losing streak by holding off the Tigers for a 16-10 victory yesterday.
It was BC's longest losing streak since 1998.
"The defense seemed to have control of the game," Spaziani said. "I had a feeling on the sideline that we had control. I don't know how the fans felt or how you guys felt (in the press box), but I thought we had control."
After the Eagles took a 16-10 halftime lead, Clemson moved into BC territory three times in the second half — twice deep — but Chandler Catanzaro missed two field goals and Kyle Parker was picked off trying to throw across the field.
The Eagles trailed, 7-0, three plays into the game after Rashard Hall picked off Rettig's pass and ran 52 yards for a score.
"The defense came over and said, 'They're not going to score against us. As long as you guys get in the end zone, we're going to get the win,' " Harris said.
Harris rushed 36 times for 142 yards for Boston College (3-5, 1-4 ACC). Rettig completed 9 of 16 passes for 136 yards.
The Eagles celebrated by hoisting Harris on their shoulders as he donned an honorary leather helmet and fans chanted "Mon-tel Har-ris!" at the end of the game.
Clemson running back Andre Ellington, who rushed for a career-best 166 yards in last week's win over Georgia Tech, was held to 42 yards on 14 attempts. Parker was 21 for 39 for 176 yards with two interceptions, both in the final quarter.
The Tigers (4-4, 2-3) had won their last two games.
"Their kicker made the kicks, and we didn't," Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. "We had a great opportunity and we did not capitalize on it."
The Eagles had a pair of close losses the previous two weeks, losing by three to Maryland and 24-19 at No. 16 Florida State.
Catanzaro missed field-goal attempts of 41 and 36 yards.
The Tigers wasted a pair of very good scoring chances in the second half.
"I thought we did a good job until we got down to that 30-yard line area," Parker said.
After Catanzaro missed his second field-goal attempt — a 36-yarder — midway through the third quarter, the Tigers stopped the Eagles on a three-and-out and moved right back into BC territory.
With a third-and-16 at BC's 19 early in the fourth, Parker rolled right and lofted a desperation pass across the field that was intercepted by cornerback Donnie Fletcher.
Clemson moved into BC territory again midway in the fourth, but linebacker Luke Kuechly tackled tight end Dwayne Allen a yard short after he made a catch at the Eagles' 32 on a fourth-and-seven play.
Kuechly sealed it by intercepting Parker at the Eagles' 45 with 1:42 left.
Trailing, 10-3, the Eagles took advantage of a poorly timed roughing-the-passer penalty and a fumbled kickoff to score on consecutive possessions.
With a third-and-26 at the Tigers' 39, Clemson linebacker Corico Hawkins was flagged for roughing Rettig on a pass completion, giving BC a first down at the 24. The drive stalled, but Freese kicked his first 36-yard field goal, cutting Clemson's lead to 10-6.
BC's Steele Divitto recovered a fumble at the Tigers' 36 on the ensuing kickoff after Jamie Harper bobbled a bouncing kick. On the next play, Rettig hit a wide-open Harris along the left sideline and he raced in for the score, diving in from the 1 just before being knocked out of bounds. That gave BC a 13-10 lead.
"After I caught it, I couldn't believe no one was around me," Harris said.

Cluclidus demons were a species of demon known to take the form of human children. They hypnotised other beings into caring and protecting for them in a parent-like role.
In child form, a Cluclidus demon, hypnotised a vampire from Sunnydale. While patrolling, Buffy Summers and Angel encounter the child and the vampire. Angel immediately identified the child as a Cluclidus demon, and with further research from the Scooby Gang; Buffy is given the information to kill the demon.
At Pretty Nails, the vampire is killed by sunlight, causing the demon to hypnotise Joyce Summers instead. At her house, Buffy encountered the demon again but this time with her mother. By locking Joyce outside and isolating the demon inside, Buffy manages to kill the demon, which in turn restores Joyce to a normal state.

Chief Executive Officer, Kocal Properties
I am pleased to be able to recommend Progressive Painting Inc. Tom Tramel and his team have worked with my company for years and have always delivered excellent results. Further, they have always taken great care in ensuring the job is done right and completed on schedule. Tom Tramel has proven time and again that the finished product his crews provide is a source of personal pride. It is that passion that sets his company apart from larger, statewide firms that do not give their clients the opportunity to work directly with the owner. It is for those reasons that I recommend Progressive Painting without hesitation.

Stories that explore the trans experience and discuss gender identities are among the poetry, prose, fiction and non-fiction have been shortlisted for the Polari first book prize and the new Polari prize.
The additional prize was announced earlier this year by the LGBT literary salon and will be for any book by an LGBT+ author or a title that explores LBGT+ themes.
Some 12 books are in the running for each of the awards, with Alex Reeve's The House On Half Moon Street, XX by Angela Chadwick and Not Just A Tomboy by Caspar J Baldwin among the titles in contention for the first book prize.
Others in the running include The Unexpected Love Objects Of Dunya Noor by Rana Haddad, Soho by Richard Scott, Attend by West Camel, Disbanded Kingdom by Polis Loizou, Next Lesson by Chris Woodley, Queer Sex by Juno Roche, Out Of The Woods by Luke Turner, Visceral by RJ Arkhipov and Yes You Are Trans Enough by Mia Violet.
The prize will be judged by novelist Kiki Archer, writer Cerys Evans; author Rachel Holmes; and poet and former Polari First Book
Prize winner John McCullough.
The contenders for the Polari Prize, which will award established authors, include Drapetomanic by John R Gordon, The Other Woman by Sophia Blackwell and Take Nothing With You by Patrick Gale.
Also in contention are The Lion Tamer Who Lost by Louise Beech, David Llewellyn's A Simple Scale, Making Oscar Wilde by Michele Mendelssohn, Louis & Louise by Julie Cohen, Playtime by Andrew McMillan, Prodigal by Charles Lambert, The Bumblebee Flies Anyway by Kate Bradbury, Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss and The AQI by David Tait.
Judges for the new prize include author Bernardine Evaristo, author and performer VG Lee, and playwright and former winner of The Polari First Book Prize Paul McVeigh.
Paul Burston, founder of the prizes and chair of judges, said: "The books on this year's longlists celebrate LGBT lives in their many varieties.
"At a time when reactionary forces are on the rise and political battles won many years ago are being fought all over again, books that tell the truth about who we really are serve a powerful purpose.
"Stories about trans lives and gender identities feature heavily.
"There are also books about the changing landscape of our collective experiences, from gay shame to equal marriage.
"Together these longlists represent the very best in emerging and established LGBT literary talent today."
The shortlists will be announced on July 26 at a special Polari Literary Salon hosted at the Southbank Centre.
The winner will be announced in October at the London Literature Festival.

Episode 1 of the Syfy series Channel Zero! Join Troy as he talks about the Creepypasta based Channel Zero.
Raw Attitude Podcast Episode 30: The Return of Shawn Michaels! (w/Lee Carlos Cunningham from The Raw Is Nitro Podcast)
July 13th, 1998: With the WWF officially on The Highway To Hell, we had to bring in Lee Carlos Cunningham from The Raw Is Nitro Podcast to help break down one of his all-time favorite periods in wrestling! The Undertaker is now the #1 contender for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's WWF Title, but seemingly everyone wants to know one thing: are The Undertaker and Kane in cahoots with each other? As for Kane, he teams with Mankind to take on The New Age Outlaws in a match for the WWF Tag Team Titles. After being off television for the past three-and-a-half months, Shawn Michaels surprisingly returns and proceeds to use some naughty language on commentary. Nation of Domination co-leaders The Rock & Owen Hart team up to take on DX members Triple-H & X-Pac. The Brawl For All somehow continues with two more match-ups: Dan "The Beast" Severn vs. The Godfather and Bart Gunn vs. Bob Holly. In six-man tag team action, Taka Michinoku aligns with Too Much to battle Kaientai, but Val Venis makes his presence felt by providing a special surprise for Yamaguchi-San. Marc Mero goes one-on-one against Steve Blackman, although the Sable / Jacqueline rivalry overshadows them both. Plus, Jason Sensation joins the announce team to share some more wrestling impersonations with the world, but that may prove to be a mistake on his part.

Hand cut off with a chainsaw...really? Was that really necessary!? Josh and Ryan review Resident Evil 7.
July 6th, 1998: The Undertaker, Kane, and Mankind all feel that they should be the #1 contender for "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's WWF Championship, so Vince McMahon puts them into a triple threat match to determine who will get the title shot. In one of the more famous moments in Attitude Era history, D-Generation-X dresses up as The Nation of Domination because blackface is apparently still acceptable in 1998. The Brawl For All continues with two more match-ups: Hawk vs. Droz and Savio Vega vs. Brakus (who you probably never knew existed). Ken Shamrock squares off with Jeff Jarrett, but a former King of the Ring surprisingly returns and seeks to injure "The World's Most Dangerous Man." The Headbangers face The Disciples of Apocalypse, who are now led by their new manager Paul Ellering. Val Venis takes on Dustin Runnels, but Kaientai and Yamaguchi-San are looking to make Val pay for flirting with Mrs. Yamaguchi-San last week. Hardcore legend Terry Funk wrestles his last ever match on "Monday Night Raw" against the chest-protector-wearing D'Lo Brown. Sable and Jacqueline get into a "Jerry Springer"-esque war of words, and Jackie decides that the only way for them to settle their feud is with a bikini contest at "Fully Loaded." Vader goes one-on-one with Bradshaw in a match-up that would have been 1,000 times more entertaining if it had taken place in The Brawl For All.
Meanwhile over on the TNT Network, WCW pulls off perhaps the biggest "Nitro" in history as Hulk Hogan defends his WCW World Heavyweight Championship against the undefeated Goldberg in front of 41,000 fans at The Georgia Dome!

Breathing is one pattern that I find to be ubiquitous in… everything. Existence.
In art, I find that my progression also follows a breathing pattern–research/tutorials, (breath in), practice/finish pieces (breath out). Even if it's not directly studying, breathing in by exposing myself to things that inspire me is hugely important.
This is the beginnings of a painting in Acrylic–I already finished the sketch, then the outlines, then the base wash. Now I'll start laying in blocks of paint and bringing the light into the piece. This one took on a heavily nature/magic theme. I'm switching between reading Color and Light by James Gurney and working on pieces like this.
Here's wishing you fresh air…

Angel's Rest, in the Columbia Gorge, is hands down the most breath-taking hike I have yet trekked. It's a heart-pounding 2.4 mile ascent to the top, it completely kicked my ass, but once I reached the summit, MAN! It was worth it!!
Chillin' on a cliff like a boss.
I knew Angel's Rest was going to be a climb, from what my trail book described. But the day was going to be beautiful and I had a rare full day off so I wanted to do a tougher hike. At this point I already had 16 treks under my belt, including the Trail of Ten Falls, which was definitely no joke either. So I figured it was time I tackled this one.
Andrew and I set off in the morning to beat the mid-day heat (it was expected to get up to 90 degrees). After the 30 minute drive (have I mentioned how much I adore how close all this beauty is to the city?) we began our ascent at the trailhead at 10:45am. And for the next two hours and 15 minutes, we climbed. And climbed. And climbed.
I'm not going to put on airs and say I billy-goated my way gracefully to the top like it was no big thang. I would say at first I stopped every half mile to catch my breath. And then once we got into the land of the never-ending switchbacks, I had to catch my breath after every other one. My body and lungs were definitely not used to this. The most I've ascended in one fell swoop before hiking Angel's Rest was probably just over a mile. A steady 2.4 mile ascent is definitely a first for me, ever. It was a challenge, albeit an incredibly rewarding one.
After the land of never-ending switchbacks, there were the rocks. You come up from your switchback ascent, turn a corner, and it looks like the trail ends because, well, it seems covered in crazy amounts of rocks. But no, this is still the trail. You just gotta billy-goat that stuff.
After navigating crazy rock trail, the trail continues in its last section up to the summit. And then BAM. Unspeakable beauty.
Oh Hi Columbia River.People overlooking the cliff at the summit
We sat at the summit for a while to rehydrate, have a snack, and take in the amazing views (which I don't feel my camera did justice). Once we were well-rested and nourished, we made our descent back down to the trailhead. I found some comfort as I headed down in seeing some very fit and obviously well-traversed hikers looking a bit winded on the way up. It made me feel not so bad about how winded I got myself, especially since Andrew, though sweaty, looked like he did this all the time.
Going down in some spots almost seemed harder than the ascent. Mainly, because much of the trail is so craggy, you really have to be aware of every step. I was so proud of myself for not having wiped out at any point (as I was sure I would), but I definitely had a lot of close calls and trips where I was able to catch myself. We made it back to the trailhead at about 2:15pm. Took 2 hours and 15 min. to get up there and 1 hour and 15 min. to get back. Definitely the biggest out and back time difference of any hike I've taken yet.
Angel's Rest is definitely a stunning hike. I would recommend bringing lots of water, esp. if you're doing this one in summer. And if you have a camera with a panorama feature, bring it. Mine doesn't, but it's really the only photograph you can take from the summit that could possibly do the view justice. Angel's Rest is, undoubtedly, my favorite hike for the views yet.

Beastman was the first series of Evil warriors, and his red card is exactly the same as the card that came with that Beastman. Notice the cardback has a lot of text and the cross sell figures are shown at the sides instead of at the bottom. Notice also the small beastman at the bottom. I'm glad they changed all this for the latter series.
Beastman comes with his whip, and his armor. He's basically hunchback and has a button on hsi back which causes his arm to move and thus the whip to go back and forth. He still has the fixed pose that was the problem with the entire line, and the action feature actually spoilt the arms from posing.
Having said all that, Beastman is huge and solid, and has no problems actually standing up unassisted. Beastman is almost as wide as Stratos with his wings outstretched!
Comparison time. This Beastman seems a lot more Beast than man when compared with the vintage figure. It's also almost twice as wide and just a bit taller than the vintage figure. The colours are a lot more subdue, but equally garish, orange and the various shades of green just doesn't go together and neither does orange, red and blue.
When compared to the Classics beastman, it's a whole different story. I like the Millennium's bulk, whereas the Classics figure looks way too slim. However, the Classics figure is more colour coordinated, and holds the whip in the correct hand - I have no idea why the decided to make Beastman right-handed in the Millennium line. I'd still pick the Classics figure though, if I was forced to choose. No question about that.
Repaints are horrible. I have no idea why I got this Beastman. Maybe it was cheap. But I could always have spent the money on better figures...

Calculating the Hidden Cost of Industrial Farming
It is nearly impossible to calculate the real costs and benefits—including the externalized or invisible costs—of any human activity: growing soybeans, making car tires, cooking dinner for your family. When growing soy, for example, it's easy enough to calculate the total price paid for inputs like fertilizer or pesticides and the price received for the finished crop. But accounting for the total costs and benefits—things like environmental damage from fertilizer runoff, or the social benefits of putting land to productive use—isn't something we tend to do as a culture.
Occupy Your Brain
On Power, Knowledge, and the Re-Occupation of Common Sense photo by Carol Black One of the most profound changes that occurs when modern schooling is introduced into traditional societies around the world is a radical shift in the locus of power and control over learning from children, families, and communities to ever more centralized systems of authority. While all cultures are different, in many non-modernized societies children enjoy wide latitude to learn by free play, interaction with other children of multiple ages, immersion in nature, and direct participation in adult work and activities. Once learning is institutionalized under a central authority, both freedom for the individual and respect for the local are radically curtailed.
GMO, yeah? 5 surprises from an otherwise boring look at genetically modified crops
Researchers at the USDA's Economic Research Service have stepped back to look at the effect of genetically engineered crops since they were introduced in the U.S. It's a pretty dry and unsurprising document, but when read carefully a few interesting things jump out. Here's five. 1.
Adam Grant: How to Get the Attention of Busy People
Two years ago, I made a commitment to do something that made me profoundly uncomfortable. I had just finished writing my first book, and I promised my publisher that I would reach out to bestselling authors and senior leaders, asking them to read my book and consider endorsing it. I knew their quotes would go a long way toward attracting readers. But as someone who generally prefers to be on the giving side of exchanges, rather than the asking and receiving end, I knew it was time to pick up some new tips.

The Future of Big-Box Schooling
"I think the way western education has grown over the last few centuries, especially with the rise of industrialization, was basically not to create human beings fully equipped to deal with life and all its problems, independent citizens able to exercise their decisions and live their responsibilities in community, but elements to feed into an industrial production system." – Vandana Shiva, "Schooling the World" "Our schools are, in a sense, factories, in which the raw materials – children – are to be shaped and fashioned into products… The specifications for manufacturing come from the demands of 20th century civilization, and it is the business of the school to build its pupils according to the specifications laid down." – Ellwood P.
Bicycle Speedometer Anemometer
Built using a digital bicycle speedometer The completed anemometer cup and sensor assembly. Sigma Sport Targa digital bicycle speedometer -- about US$25 at any bike shop. UPDATE 3-29-2006 ---- We are OUT OF STOCK on the surplus brushless DC motor we used to build this project, and since it's surplus we cannot get any more. You can use a different motor (for example, something salvaged from a dead hard disk drive) because this design depends on the motor only for its bearing -- the internal coils don't factor into the output frequency. You could also use a standard small bearing, available at most good hardware stores.
This Robotic Arm Can Do Many Things, But Is Unable To Think For Itself — a combinatorics problem by Calvin Lin
At a warehouse, robotic arms are responsible for retrieving boxes when an order is received from a customer. In one area of the warehouse, there is a stack of 6 boxes. Each box is a cube, and all the boxes have different sizes.
Yes, robots really are coming to take your job
Seem far fetched? Think again: robots are set to replace humans in many jobs we do now. The question, really, is whether this is a bad thing or simply part of our civilised progress. Last week, we got our first glimpse of robots replacing workers in Amazon's storehouses. The machines, called Kivo, efficiently ferry packages and products from shelves to delivery areas. They're quick and can run 24 hours a day.
Sorting Plastic for Industrial Recycling - Northstar RecyclingNorthstar Recyc...
In May we did an article about Industrial Plastic Recycling, identifying common recyclable plastics and best practices for recycling. This week, we want to take the topic of industrial plastic recycling a step further and focus on the process of sorting plastics. While sorting any kind of recyclable can help increase its value, it is especially important for companies to be extra vigilant in sorting plastics for industrial recycling.

7 tiny homes that celebrate simple living
We haven't, however, explored as many tiny houses as Kirsten Dirksen, co-creator of Fair Companies, a video series dedicated to the simpler side of sustainable living. Here are some of our favorite dispatches from Kirsten's travels. Teen builds tiny house for a mortgage-free future When Austin Hay began contemplating leaving home, he decided he didn't want to live in a dorm, or save for a 3,000-square-foot home with a two-car garage. Instead, he built his own 130-square-foot home to take with him when he moved.

Good health is the best gift for mankind and one must strive for preserving it well. Today, as we make the promise of Swaasth Jeevan, we consider it as our utmost duty to ensure you with this, a precious gift of nature, with the help of Naturopathy & Ayurveda. As an ancient system of healing and cure, the science of Naturopathy & Ayurveda stands tall in the fabric of curative medicines for its holistic therapeutic value, its simple usage and zero side-effect attribute. In today�s world, health has been redefined completely. From a mere state of �no-illness� the concept of health has evolved as a function of our overall lifestyle. Also, we attach notions of happiness and beauty with health today, which was not the case in earlier period. Thus, not only diet, but fitness of our body, and physical, emotional and spiritual well-being have come to constitute the index of health. Our aim is to cut through all economic classes instead of concentrating solely on the premium segment, so that an overall awareness of this great medicinal form could reach the masses as well.
Naturopathy & Ayurveda is a fantastic and proven way to treat one�s body and mind for recovery, cure and a preventative state of health. Shree Narayan Dham wants to bring awareness towards the wholesome wellness of human being, the whole world needs to understand that complete wellness is a product of connections between Awareness, Shree Narayan Dham identifies with the personal need of every individual and embraces a compassionate approach while re-establishing a state of perfect natural health for the person. The mission and vision of Shree Narayan Dham is to see our patients recuperate from chronic conditions after a complete course of Naturopathy & Ayurveda treatment, and with the help of the Ayurvedic �Dincharya� we mean to empower them to sustain this lifestyle change for the rest of their lives.

For as much junk TV as I have consumed in my lifetime, I do have my standards. I am proud to say that I have never watched a single episode of Survivor, American Idol, The Bachelor, The Voice or any other elimination/competition show. Oh, I've seen the clips of Susan Boyle's break out appearance and I track all versions of Total Eclipse of the Heart on YouTube so I'm not entirely out of the loop.
And it was in fact my scholarly research of TEOTH that brought me The Voice Philippines edition and this remarkable clip:
I. Do. Not. Know. But I will tell you if that is typical for The Voice Phillipines, then i am an instant and committed fan.
I also don't know who that one in the cape is but I can tell you that he looks lot like several evening shift nurses I have worked with, especially the faces and body language in reaction to something he doesn't like.

SENIOR PASTORS – Rod & Viv Plummer
Our senior Pastors, Ps Rod and Viv Plummer, are true pioneers with a passion to reach all people with Gods' message. Not only do they pastor all of our Lifehouse Churches across Japan and beyond, but they have also pastored for many years in Australia, and have overseen and led multiple church-planting projects in several other nations such as Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia.
In response to God's call Ps. Rod and Viv, along with their two sons, left a large thriving church in Toowoomba Australia to plant a new church in Tokyo Japan.
Our pastors hearts are to inspire, mentor, and equip hundreds of young Japanese and foreign leaders to minister to the needs of people not only in the greater Tokyo area, but throughout Japan and beyond.
Ps Rod is truly known as a "training pastor", having raised up and discipled hundreds of young people to serve in all areas of ministry.
Our pastors are the true embodiment of what it means to "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Matthew 28:19 NIV)
LEAD PASTORS – Joshua & Yuki O'Sullivan
Pastors Josh & Yuki O'Sullivan lead Lifehouse Yokohama and have 4 children Zion, Rhema, Rapha and Jireh.
Pastor Josh received a vision to plant a life-giving Church in this amazing city of Yokohama in 2010 while serving with our Senior Pastors Rod & Viv Plummer in Tokyo.
What began as monthly services and then weekly midweek services with just a few people, soon grew into multiple Sunday services in 3 locations across Kanagawa reaching over 500 people.
Josh & Yuki have a large family full of excitement and joy, and that same spirit carries over into Lifehouse Yokohama Sunday Services, Dream Teams and Connect Groups.
Being an international family in a very international city, the Church is also made up of people from over 20 different counties.
People come from all walks of life including kids, students, business people and of course many families and kids.
Josh and Yuki have a heart to see Yokohama reached for Jesus and would be honored if you and your family joined them in the journey.
Want to meet Pastor Josh?
Stop by the Next Steps area after any service.

When the school was being planned, the founders wanted a suitable name for it.
In naming it after John Scottus, they picked a philosopher and an Irish one.
John Scottus Eriugena (John of Ireland, from Ireland), to give him his full name, was born around 810 AD in Ireland.
Little is known of his early life. He moved to France around 845 AD, where he took charge of an academy at the court of Charles the Bald, and through his ground-breaking translations of the Greek neo-platonists, and the works he was commissioned to write became the leading light in philosophy of the medieval period.
His philosophy was of primary interest to the founders of JSS: being a neo-Platonist,
a follower of Plato, the Greek Philosopher, of the 5th century BC,
of whose teachings it is said, that all subsequent Western philosophical writings, are merely a footnote. One of Plato's well known sayings is that "an unexamined life is not worth living", something that John Scottus would
definitely have agreed with.
John Scottus wrote a number of works, but is best known today for having written Periphyseon, On the Nature of things.
which has been called the final achievement of ancient philosophy,
a work which "synthesizes the philosophical accomplishments of fifteen centuries."

I just about made it to the last save point in Final Fantasy VI.
And then I got the party killed. Well, one of three parties, anyway, but still enough to cause a game over. Kind of unfortunate, but it sort of did refresh my memory about where I needed to go. For a moment, I'd considered giving it a second shot right away, but ultimately decided against it, as I'm not feeling especially great tonight.
It's not that today was an especially busy day for me or anything. I think it's partly the rain we had today. We need the rain, of course, but it still tends to be a bit of a downer. I also got a bug bite of some sort on my stomach this morning that might have something to do with it. Not sure what kind of bug it was or how it got where it could bite me, but it could be part of the problem.
Either way, I think I'll just go to bed after I get this posted and shared. Something tells me I just need a little sleep. Hopefully, that'll take care of the problem, and I'll feel good enough to get something done in this sense tomorrow.
Until then, good night, everybody. Have a good one.

Champion galloper Able Friend's path to the HK$23 million Longines Hong Kong Mile in December has a low-key, belated start this morning when trainer John Moore will assess whether the seven-year-old is ready to start his preparation proper.
"He's walking fine, he went for a swim yesterday and I'll trot him up in the morning and see if he is ready to start working," Moore said on Friday.
The big gelding's lengthy recuperation from a serious hoof injury in Australia has kept him sidelined all of 2016 so far and he suffered his latest setback after being frightened by a truck passing near by as he trotted in quarantine earlier this month.
Able Friend ditched his rider and got loose, breaking through a plastic railing and cutting his elbow on the broken edge of the rail.
"It was no different to a footballer getting a good kick – not serious in itself however it has set me back three weeks with his preparation," Moore said. "More a nuisance than anything major but it looks like our plan to run first-up in the Premier Bowl on October 23 is now unlikely."
At each of his two tilts at the Hong Kong Mile – when successful in 2014 and when beaten last year by Maurice after his hoof injury flared up in the race – Able Friend has had a two-race programme with the Premier Bowl then the Jockey Club Mile before international day.
"I'd say now it looks more likely that he would run first-up in the Jockey Club Sprint then straight into the Hong Kong Mile three weeks later," Moore said.
Moore hopes the sole sprint lead-up would still be sufficient to have Able Friend ready for the Mile and has taken some comfort from the indications that Japanese star Maurice will this time target the Hong Kong Cup over 2,000m instead of the Mile.
Moore manure: horror day for leading trainer as Able Friend escapes major injury before string of favourites struggle
And he said he hasn't considered the option of the Hong Kong Sprint, worth HK$4.5 million less but over 1,200m, if the Mile looks to be coming up to soon. Able Friend was ranked the world's top sprinter at one stage last season after his stunning victory in last year's Premier Bowl.
"No, I haven't thought about that and whatever path we take, any changes, obviously must be approved by his owner Dr Li (Cornel Li Fook-kwan)," Moore said. "At this stage all I'm looking at is getting him back to work and then we'll know where we're going."
Moore said he is just starting to crank up the work for his other leading international aspirants, including Designs On Rome, Victory Magic and Rapper Dragon, with an eye to them resuming in the Group Two Oriental Watch Sha Tin Trophy on October 23.

Dental Examinations
The American Dental Association recommends an annual dental examination. Having them consistently, through the same dentist, helps us see changes in tooth movement, bone density, and levels of decay. Additionally, we look for signs of dental health issues and predict potential problems. At Janice K. Pliszczak, DDS, examinations are often completed with your regularly scheduled cleaning appointment; they are quick and painless.
What to Expect During Your Dental Exam
Dental exams are done most often following your dental cleaning and will include:
Daily Dental Hygiene
To significantly improve your oral health and what we find during your dental exam, you want to establish a strong daily dental hygiene plan. Taking less than five minutes each morning and evening, along with being educated on the foods and drinks we consume and how they affect your body, can make a huge impact on your teeth. We can provide you with the information you need to keep your teeth healthy throughout your life. Healthy teeth begin with daily brushing and flossing. We want you to remove harmful bacteria each day. Besides brushing, we will advise you to reduce the intake of sugar, sugar is found in so much of the foods and drinks that we consume. From sweets to bread and pasta, sugar is a sneaky ingredient. Dental education and putting a routine in place will help you have and maintain a healthy mouth.

I don't know about you, but we still have teenagers at home and we are so glad school is out and our "TO DO" lists have been greatly simplified!
Here at Star of Hope, summertime brings significant "TO DO" lists for two reasons: 1) each summer we gear up to serve hundreds more homeless in our city who come for help during the hot summer months, and 2) we have all of our resident families' children here with us all summer.
It's an exciting time of service and wonderful things happen here in the summer each year!
Our Men's Development Center downtown is running over capacity already, and our Women & Family Emergency Shelter's continuous overflow is already running at 60-75 persons sleeping on the floor each night, and it's only June!
This summer, with your help, we are planning to provide:
- more than 167,750 meals with cold water, juice and milk to battle heat stroke and other summer illnesses
- 77,404 safe beds in our three air-conditioned facilities, so each Client can recover from a day in the heat
- a summer filled with laughter, life-changing activities and God's love for more than 536 homeless boys and girls
- distribution of 9,360 bottles of cold water over the summer months from our Love-In-Action Van
- all with programs and services to encourage and bring new hope, and a path to independence once again!
While it is a challenge, summer provides some of our best opportunities to invest in the lives of children and families.
Want to help? GIVE NOW... A transformed life often begins with a simple meal shared in love. As our guests come in from the heat for a nutritious meal, your gift today will help turn a summer of crisis and pain into a SUMMER OF HOPE! At just $1.80 per meal, consider how many lives your generous support can touch this summer.
Blessings, and I hope you enjoy your summer!

Besides commenting on breaking news, celebrity hearsay and updates on latest trends and predictions across various industries, social media users also love to comment on their customer care experiences. And consumers trust word-of-mouth (WOM) reviews from their friends, family and fellow social media users more than any other type of brand referral.
In fact, an infographic from Lithium revealed that a whopping 92 percent of consumers trust recommendations from friends and family more than any other form of advertising. What's more, WOM influences 50 percent of all purchase decisions.
As such, the task at hand isn't simply to generate more positive WOM reviews, but also to generate a quantifiable amount of it in the first place. In other words, to increase your brand awareness, customer engagement and ROI on your integrated marketing and customer care initiatives you must strive to produce the quality of customer care that makes consumers buzz around the web.
The Internet is blossoming with blogs, social posts and news articles about companies that have entered into the "winner's circle" of customer care. And your consumers heed the reviews included in these content types and base their decisions from them as well. Take CNBC's summary of the latest findings from Consumer Reports—a company that provides customer care ratings—that highlights the industries that are the best and worst in customer care.
The companies that landed on the "best list" didn't get there by chance. Rather, they exuded superior customer care that offers a human element that is becoming so vacant in customer care due to the rise of digitization and automation.
So if you want your consumers to buzz about your company, then you must invigorate your strategy and go above and beyond by personalizing each and every phone call, providing continuous professional support for Communicators so that progress never comes to an end and remaining alert to the ever-changing needs and requests of your consumers.
You can't rise to the top by sitting, waiting and wishing…the best-of-the-best in customer care work tirelessly to provide support that positively impacts their cherished consumers.

Public Wi-Fi is a security risk – if you are reading this website, you probably know that already – but spare a thought for all of those people who don't, including our hapless politicians.
To illustrate the risks to government data, F-Secure, the Helsinki-based security company, teamed up with pen-tester Mandalorian Security Services and the Cyber Security Institute to hack into the devices of three politicians.
To be clear, the politicians had given their permission for this experiment, but having previously received no training or information about cyber-security, they had no idea how easy it was to get hacked on a public Wi-Fi system.
First up was David Davis, Conservative MP for Haltemprice and Howden, well-known for his views on privacy, surveillance and the erosion of civil liberties.
Despite the use of a very strong password, his email was breached by Mandalorian. Asked for his reaction, Davis said, "Well, it's pretty horrifying, to be honest. What you have extracted was a very tough password, tougher than most people use. It's certainly not 'Password'."
To prove they had hacked his email, Mandalorian left a calling card in the form of a draft email to the national press announcing his defection to UKIP.
Next up was Mary Honeyball MEP, a member of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament who also sits on the EU committee which oversees the "We Love Wi-Fi" campaign. The attackers caught her in an internet cafe, using public Wi-Fi and sent her a spoofed "Facebook" message inviting her to log back into her account.
She felt that the European Parliament technology office, which had issued her a tablet just days prior to the hack, should have warned her of the danger. "I think something should be done because we all think that passwords make the whole thing secure. I always thought that was the point of passwords. I am surprised and shocked," she said.
And Lord Strasburger helpfully demonstrated how insecure Voice over IP (VoIP) can be when he made a call from a hotel room which was intercepted and recorded using free off-the-web software. "That's very worrying. This is very powerful equipment. The thought that a beginner could be up and running in a very few hours is really worrying. I think it proves that people (when they are using technology) need to know a lot more about it. In the end, they have to look after themselves, because it really is down to you, no one else is going to do it," he said.
According to F-Secure, the public is becoming increasingly aware that public Wi-Fi is not secure. In a survey in September, 30 percent of respondents knew about the risk while a more recent survey indicates the number has increased to 40 percent.The company plans to work with politicians in the UK and European Parliaments to promote safe Wi-Fi use. F-Secure is also actively working with the Don't Spy On Us coalition to oppose efforts to ban or downgrade encryption.
