A couple of weeks ago, TeamBonding worked at one of our favorites hotels in Boston.
Due to the configuration of the room, I needed to make some physical changes to the lay out.
The hotel staff, in particular one person, was wonderful. Helpful, funny, accommodating. Laughed at my jokes and made his own. He had this outlook on life that was simple, positive and infectious. His attitude to his work and those around him had an effect in that room. It inspired me and the way I wanted to facilitate that day.
The program was a success and I left determined to write a thank you.
Which I did not do. Can you believe it?
I know he didn't act in that fashion to receive compliments. He didn't need that, as there was no ego at play. He was genuinely a happy person.
I thought about my failing to send a thank you, all the excuses; I was busy, I was travelling, nobody was relying on an email from me. In truth it was simple, I took his service granted. He was just being himself, so he didn't need praise for that.
How easy it is to accept that someone who is happy and delivering a great job, is just that. Always happy and good at what they do. What if they are really working hard to do that? We have all had days when we just don't feel like it. When we are tired or consumed with other thoughts and we do not want to make that conference call, or go to that meeting, yet we do. When you know we are "phoning it in" rather than being fully aware and present. Yet we all know the difference between the two. How a simple shift of focus can elevate our work.
Why not do that every day? There are people who do. There are people who you expect them to do just that. Inspirational leaders, world leaders, surgeons – who wants a surgeon who isn't focused?
Yet, look at those who are in positions that you do not expect such attention from.
I remember two centuries ago, I was a receptionist. There was a terrible storm happening and I had left home extra early to get into work. Instead of thirty minutes, it took me two hours. I was surprised how many people phoned me to say they couldn't get in and requested what work I could do for them. Not one person asked how I had managed to get in. I was just always there, as if by magic – and not public transport.
So, do not overlook those around you who are constantly working hard. Who smile and wish you a good day. Who take the extra mile, to go an extra mile, just because they know they want to. They do not expect or want or need anything. They just want to have a good life. We can spend our time trying to manage those who are not doing a good job – what about recognizing those who are?
Celebrating a successful team is as beneficial as team building with a difficult team. Some of those positions that are truly supporting your company are not those with incentives, shares or commissions. Take a look and notice where the positive energy in your company is generating from. Stop to say thank you.

How Can I Ensure My Employees Follow My Company's Cybersecurity Plan
As a business owner and employer, it is your job to map out a cybersecurity plan and make sure your employees understand and follow the protocols. Additionally, it is your job to screen all employees and figure out which positions have the most access to sensitive information, and in turn, pose the biggest threat to the company.
The Weakest Link in your Cybersecurity Program
Although many companies believe the biggest cybersecurity threat is external, internal employees and can pose just as big of a threat. In fact, because they have such open access to the company's most important data, they can actually pose a much bigger threat.
Cyber Attacks on Small Businesses | Critical Importance of Cybersecurity
In the past 12 months, 50% of small businesses have experienced a security breach through a cyberattack. A small business cyberattack is defined as the alteration of a computer's data, coding, or logic through the use of malicious code, which can lead to other cybercrimes like identity theft, fraud, and more.
Escape Your Personal Haunted House
Here's the thing about haunted houses: only about half of the fright-factor comes from the actual jump scares. The rest of the fear, the adrenaline rush and the excitement that makes your hands shake and your heart races, starts in line before you even get into the room. The anticipation of the scare is almost as powerful as the event itself.

An extremely rare bronze Putti/Cupid desk ornament or paperweight, it is fixed securely with a handmade screw, to an unusual marble base, the Putti is wonderfully modelled with the features being sharp.
The winged putti appears to be saying a prayer.
There are chips to the marble, the yellow strips on the photographs show old soft tape to stop scratching the surface it might stand on.
A very interesting item from the 18th century, possibly collected from The Grand Tour.
The term "Grand Tour" refers to the 17th- and 18th-century custom of a traditional trip of Europe undertaken by upper-class young European men of sufficient means and rank (typically accompanied by a chaperon, such as a family member) when they had come of age (about 21 years old). Young women of equally sufficient means ("debutantes")
Max Dimensions : 10 cms tall including base, the marble base is 8 cms.

BehaviourExchange Project Info
B2C businesses usually struggle to get enough traffic to their websites and, even more importantly, they don't know who their online visitors are and what are their demographic and psychographic characteristics, such as gender, age, income level, as well as their interests etc., … This information is crucial for their success, growth and even survival.
B2C companies can direct visitors to all sorts of subsites (landing pages) using different advertising campaigns. However, they still don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t know the characteristics of the visitors coming from other sources and cannot proactively engage with them in real-time.
BehaviourExchange will enable B2C businesses to identify visitors and their personal characteristics when they visit their website. With the help of blockchain technology and its own BEX Token, BehaviourExchange will offer services to any company, not only to advertisers who pay for advertising campaigns.
Businesses will know who their visitors are in real-time, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They will be able to customize the website's content in real time and engage with visitors proactively, offering information about products or services that correlate with their needs and interests. Every single visitor will see different content, products or services when visiting a certain website, which results in a valuable personalized interaction that will more likely lead to a desired action (e.g. the purchase of a product or service).

November 2016 is still a long way off, but it's hard to imagine that the presidential campaign will provide any bit of advertising as strangely entertaining and revealing as a video put online recently by Stand With Hillary, a new "super PAC."
现在离2016年11月还有很长时间,但看完"支持希拉里"(Stand With Hillary)——这是一家新的"超级政治行动委员会"(super PAC)——最近在网上发布的一则视频,实在难以想象总统大选期间里还会出现比这个更奇特搞笑,信息量也更大的广告了。
Haven't seen it? Oh you must. Right now. I give you leave from this column to go take a look, but hurry back. There's a lot to talk about.
It spotlights a man in a cowboy hat who croons in a country-and-western twang about how darned much he adores that there Hillary Clinton. "Hindsight's always right," he sings, a clear dig at Barack Obama, the candidate chosen over her in the Democratic primaries. There are images of construction work, a welder, a pickup truck, a tractor, a big red barn, cows. It's the unveiling of Hard-Hat Hillary. Rodeo Hillary. Hillary, Patron Saint of the Prairie.
But it positions her first and foremost as all woman. The references are incessant. The chorus goes like this: "Thinking about one great lady like the women in my life. She's a mother, a daughter and through it all, she's a loving wife."
A man with a sledgehammer shatters a panel of glass — twice. And the cowboy exhorts his brethren: "Put your boots on and let's smash this ceiling." Just in case there was any doubt about what that glass meant.
The video wasn't produced by Clinton or her aides. But the people who did put it together clearly followed the cues that they felt they were getting, and they read her intentions right. If she runs, she'll do so with more focus on her gender and a greater emphasis on making history than she did in 2008.
And that'll be the smart move, because her gender is precisely what offsets certain of her weaknesses as a candidate. To double down on the double X may be her best way to mitigate several otherwise big vulnerabilities.
Back in 2008, "Clinton seemed to develop a tortured approach toward her gender on the campaign trail, sometimes embracing it, sometimes dismissing it, sometimes appearing to overcompensate for it — but rarely appearing at ease with it," wrote Anne Kornblut of The Washington Post in her 2009 book about that race, "Notes From the Cracked Ceiling."
在2009年的《天花板上的裂痕》(Notes From the Cracked Ceiling)一书中,供职于《华盛顿邮报》(The Washington Post)的安妮·科恩布卢特(Anne Kornblut)写道,2008年时,"克林顿在竞选期间对待自己的性别的方式似乎有些挣扎,有时欣然接受,有时不予理会,有时似乎又矫枉过正,但鲜少能安然处之。"该书的主题便是那一年的大选。
She observed that some of Clinton's key advisers felt that partly because of her gender, she had to routinely assert toughness and be America's own Iron Lady. There were boxing gloves at her events, along with music from "Rocky."
Kornblut recalled the time when she was told by a proud Clinton adviser that it was "as though his boss were running with a penis." And at one campaign event, a labor leader introduced her as "the candidate with 'testicular fortitude,' " Kornblut wrote.
Clinton never gave a gender speech that rivaled Obama's race speech.
Additionally, "When Obama won the Iowa caucuses, everybody wrote and talked about it as historic," Kornblut told me last week. "But Jesse Jackson had won primaries. When Hillary Clinton won New Hampshire, it was historic. But the coverage was, 'Hillary made a comeback. She's the comeback kid, just like her husband was.' "
此外,"当奥巴马在艾奥瓦的党团会议中胜出时,所有人都撰文谈论这件事的历史意义。"科恩布卢特上周告诉我,"但杰西·杰克逊(Jesse Jackson)也赢得过初选。希拉里·克林顿在新罕布什尔州获胜一事也有历史意义。但相关的报道却是,'希拉里东山再起。就像她丈夫曾经那样,她回归了。'"
Kornblut said that, belatedly, a few members of Clinton's inner circle came to believe that her frequently gender-neutral approach wasn't just "a big mistake of the campaign. That was the big strategic mistake."
But with an even longer résumé now, Clinton could emphasize her trailblazing womanhood for 2016 without the worry that many voters would misinterpret it as the main qualification that she's claiming. And after four years as a secretary of state more hawkish than the president she served, she wouldn't have to push the image of a dauntless world leader.
Americans' economic anxieties will almost surely be at the center of the race, and with the right language, Clinton might have "the ability to talk as mom and grandmom about the need to make sure government is on the side of our families," Chris Lehane, a Democratic strategist who recently addressed the group Ready for Hillary, told me.
美国人对经济的忧虑几乎毫无疑问将成为选战中的核心问题,凭借适当的语言技巧,克林顿或许"能以一位母亲和外婆的身份,来论证政府有必要与家庭站在一起",民主党策略师克里斯·勒汉(Chris Lehane)对我说。他不久前曾对政治团体"万事俱备,希拉里"(Ready for Hillary)发表演讲。
"Being a woman translates into great politics," he said.
Clinton seemingly agrees. Over the last year she has weighed in strongly on issues like equal pay and child care. She has done women-themed events galore.
In a speech at Georgetown University last week, she said: "We know when women contribute in making and keeping peace, entire societies enjoy better outcomes. Women leaders, it has been found, are good at building coalitions across ethnic and sectarian lines and speaking up for other marginalized groups."
上周在乔治城大学(Georgetown University)发表演讲时,克林顿说,"我们知道,当女性参与构建和维护和平时,整个社会都会享受到更好的成果。人们发现,女性领导人善于建立跨越族群和教派的联盟,善于为其他被边缘化的群体发声。"
IT'S possible that Clinton has noticed polls. In one by Gallup early this year, when Americans were asked what about a Clinton presidency would be most exciting, the answer given more than any other was that she would be the first woman in the job.
It's her "unique selling proposition," wrote Frank Newport, Gallup's editor in chief, in an analysis of those results.
这是她"独有的竞选优势",盖洛普的主编弗兰克·纽波特(Frank Newport)在对这些结果的分析中说。
And that proposition is potentially an inoculation.
Yes, she's been around forever and isn't a fresh face. But she can't be yesterday's news when she's tomorrow's precedent.
Yes, there's a whiff of dynasty about her. But maybe she gets some of the "new car smell" that Obama said voters were looking for by promising a new altitude of female accomplishment.
Yes, a contest between her and Jeb Bush would be one of two surnames from the past. But only she can claim to represent an uncharted future, at least in one sense.
是的,她和杰布·布什(Jeb Bush)的竞争,会让人们再次看到两个来自过去的姓氏。但只有她才能声称代表一个未知的未来,至少在某一种意义上是这样。
Yes, detractors will say that she's a third term of Obama: business as usual. Her supporters can answer that she's history's unfinished business.
Yes, she's now wealthy and well-connected, and would be starting the race with titanic advantages. But if she's willing to talk about her experience as a woman, she can talk about what it's been like to make her way in a man's world. She's a leader of the pack who can make some underdog noises, an ultimate insider who can potentially connect with outsiders — thanks to gender.
Lehane called it "a sword and a shield."
When she ran the last time around, Rush Limbaugh asked, "Will Americans want to watch a woman get older before their eyes on a daily basis?" It was a sexist question, but this can be a sexist country, and even some Democrats had that concern.
克林顿上一次竞选总统时,拉什·林博(Rush Limbaugh)问,"美国人愿意看着一个女人在他们眼前一天天变老吗?"这是一个带有性别歧视的问题,但这个国家本身可能就有性别歧视,即使有些民主党人也有这种担忧。
It's more than six years later, and Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post recently noted Clinton's "full-on embrace of grandma-hood, tweeting out pictures of her new granddaughter despite the twin pitfalls of gender and age." For Clinton 2016, gender might not be a pitfall at all.

This Nutella Popcorn is the perfect movie night snack. You won't be able to resist eating this sweet and salty treat.
Last week my husband asked me to make a sweet popcorn munch for one of his church meetings. He knows I love making popcorn munches.
I'm sure you have noticed how obsessed with fun popcorn I have become. Have you seen this Reese's Popcorn, this Coffee Toffee Popcorn, and this S'mores Popcorn. Yeah, I love creating (and eating) fun new popcorn.
I decided to cover this popcorn with a healthy coating of white chocolate and Nutella and some salt.
I couldn't stop eating handfuls of this while it was in our kitchen. Something kept drawing me back to the bowl for more and more. And for research purposes, I just kept munching. This Nutella Popcorn is magical I tell you!
I love a good sweet and salty treat, and this popcorn has both covered. The salt helps balance out the super sweet coating and M&M candies. I love how the candy gave it a fun and bright pop of color. This would be the perfect snack for watching the Oscars this weekend. You might want to make a double batch if you have anyone else watching with you. I know we will be munching the night away.
This popcorn would also make a great St. Patrick's day treat.
Yes, I know Valentine's just ended, but I was over the pink and red, so of course I thought of the next holiday. The best thing with this popcorn is that you can tint that extra drizzle of chocolate any color for any holiday. The M&M's can be changed out for the different holidays too. I just happen to love those plain mini M&M's…and it's what I had in the cupboard that day.
If you are giving this away for St. Patty's Day, place it in clear plastic bags or jars and tie with a ribbon or some green twine. Thank you Pick Your Plum for keeping me supplied with fun twine colors.
Game nights and marathon movies are the perfect excuse for making this big batch of Nutella Popcorn. Really it is a good snack any day or time of the week.

What Is The Importance Of Customer Satisfaction Surveys?
What do you think is necessary to satisfy your customers? First of all, it is quality, efficiency, service, and reliability well matched in one institution. But on the other hand, smart firms know that retaining a customer is not an easy task. It is an art, which requires a lot of effort. And there is the only way to retain the customers. It is to listen to their advice and get involved with the support of www.surveyh.com.
What Is The Customer Satisfaction Survey?
To begin with, one should know that the satisfaction surveys ask questions about various spheres. It covers a large field for research including customer service, employee knowledge, the policies, and even procedures of your business.
It is used by business owners to gauge how the company is perceived by the clients they serve. Moreover, organizing a proper survey is the first step in assessing customer reaction. And in its' turn, the gained information may be useful to you while improving products or services. All this is because finding the real problem makes it much easier to solve it.
How Does It Help To Enhance The Successful Strategies?
As it was mentioned above if the team knows, where exactly they are erring than it contributes to the improvement.
That is why for those who are still not convinced with the importance of customer satisfaction survey we have some useful facts. Be sure, we will make you believe that it is not only important. But it is also a very beneficial thing to your businesses and its' development.
So, let's find out the top 5 reasons why customer satisfaction is important! The purpose of customer satisfaction surveys and all about it is here!
Satisfaction Surveys Help To Build Your Brand
Studies show that satisfied clients tend to buy products more often. That is why it will have a high repeat business rate if you ask, what they like or dislike about your company. Your clients will understand that they're more than just a revenue stream to you. In its' turn, it will develop true loyalty to your brand.
Many satisfied customers tend to spread the word by recommending services to their friends and family. And it is an informal referral process which can have a significant influence on the number of your regular customers.
What is more, this kind of surveys gives specific information about positive and negative customers' perceptions. And it may have the influence to improve marketing and sales efforts.
So, be sure that client surveys will help you to prevent your firm reputation from angry customers and unfair criticism as well. Anyway, all the information you may learn through your customer survey will have a great positive effect on your job.
The Satisfaction Survey Is the Factor That Helps You Stand Out Of the Competition
There is the thought that the only people who would love your poor service are your opponents. That is why it is necessary to understand how important customer satisfaction is. And you will agree as today there is an extremely large competition on the market. These days, everyone is just waiting for you to make a wrong move.
Because of this fact, you have to be ready for every provocation from your opponent. And be sure, the best weapon against them is impeccable service, high quality, and satisfied customers.
Happy Customers Are Returning Customers
Nowadays clients can easily switch their favorite brands. In most cases, it is caused by a low quality of the previous company. As well your clients may be frustrated by waiting for ages till you decide to ask the reason for them going away.
On the other hand, satisfied and loyal customers not only spread a positive word and recommend your service to the friends and relatives. They also keep coming back to the company with which they are satisfied. And even despite all the wide range of choices offered to them, they stay your clients. So, keep in mind, if you know what your clients want than it is a key to successful cooperation.
Satisfaction Surveys Reflect On Your Revenue
No doubt, profit from business is always important. But do you know how satisfied customers and money are related to each other? As you know customers' opinion about the brand can have a strong effect on the whole system. In both positive and negative way the number mentions and repeated transactions could vary greatly. As a result, reducing the number of potential customers can lead to the bankruptcy of your firm.
The algorithm is quite simple. By providing a great customer service you will satisfy both you and your targets. But on the other hand, if there are no buyers, there is no profit. And as a result, there is no development and growth of the company. But do not give up and remember that you can always change the situation for the better.
Be sure, if you made your customers satisfied with your brand you will definitely see the considerable changes. Your revenues will keep kicking as well as the targets will be met. So, do not hesitate and believe, the client surveys can really be the last instance to help your company keep afloat.
By the way, there is one more secret for those owners who think if there is something more to do better to treat the audience. Do not forget the words of Simon Sinek, "People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it." These wise words should become your motto. And bear in mind, you can always do better for your brand!
Satisfaction Surveys Help To Keep Current Customers
Some research says that it is 6-7 times more expensive to attract a new customer than it is to keep a current one. It proves again that the purpose of customer satisfaction surveys is very versatile.
It is necessary for your customers to feel that their opinion is really important for you. In addition, they want to see the true results and your efforts. Be sure, if customer satisfaction will become a habit, not an option, they will appreciate it. So, be always attentive to your customers and keep in mind that a satisfied customer is an asset to any business.
Final Thought
And the last but now the least you need to do is to take this useful information into account. Just remember, knowing what the customer wants is a necessity of business. Besides, there are no happy employees without happy customers. So, make all you can and take great pleasure of it. Good luck!

Fundamentals of Fall Protection/OSHA Regulations
Fall hazards pose a significant risk of serious injury or death for people working at height. OSHA has set safety standards that help increase safety for employees whose jobs require working at heights. A personal fall protection system is critical to worker safety at height.
OSHA compliant personal fall protection systems typically include four components:
Anchorages, as defined by OSHA, are secure fall protection anchor points for attachment of lifelines, lanyards or deceleration devices, and are designed to remain secure under the forces generated during a fall arrest event. Anchorages vary by industry, job, type of installation and structure.
Body support¬ refers to fall protection equipment that directly supports the worker's weight and maintains the body in a safe position. Worker comfort, fit and ease of use are key considerations in the selection of body support equipment – such as a full body harness – that a worker may need to wear for extended periods during a work day.

One peculiarity of the way I think about quantitative relationships that took me years to figure out seems to stem from different ways of treating functions in economics (and the social sciences generally) and mathematics. My economics professors would write down equations, like π=pY-wL-rK, where the equation as a whole represented an accounting identity and the variables were symbolized with the appropriate abbreviation: w for wages, L for labor, and so on. Then if you wanted to consider a causal hypothesis about the determinants of one of the variables, you simply stipulate that the variable is in fact a function of those variables, without choosing a functional form: thus w(x, y) >>> π=pY-w(x, y)L-rK, and so on.
I assume there are two reasons why social scientists converged on this approach to model-building — well, three. The first and most obvious is that there is no hard and fast line in the social sciences between the various uses of formulae as metaphors, as shorthand for rough hypotheses, as descriptions of ideal types, and as fully-specified empirical models. Thus it is useful to have an amphibious formal convention which can do double duty as a pseudo-accounting identity and as an actual mathematical notation. The second reason may perhaps be a special case of the first: if you move fluidly between rough hypotheses and fully-specified models, you are going to want to use an elastic notation that can easily be adjusted back and forth between an explicit functional form and one or two weak first-order conditions. But the third reason to use them, at least in lecture courses and textbooks, is that it acclimates people to a certain way of thinking about (a) causation and (b) the relationship between causation and rates of change. Whatever phenomenon you are trying to explain can be interpreted as a function of its causes, both in a logical sense (reducing the explanandum to an interaction between the explanantia) and in the analytical sense (refining and constraining the explanation with the vocabulary of monotonicity, continuity, and differentiation).
But mathematicians think about functions in way that seems different to me. At least since Bourbaki, the standard convention has been f:x→y, "f is a function from domain x to range y." (Right? Sometimes I'm surprised by the conventions other people learn. Reading the TeX symbol list gives me the impression that God is babelling us at this very moment…) The range and the domain determine what sorts of arguments the function can take and what values the function can have. In pure mathematics the main questions about these spaces are their algebraic properties; i.e. are the values of the function sets? vectors? ordered triplets? elements of a ring?
If you typically think about functions this way (which is salutary!) it promotes the instinct that when a function is modeling some causal process, the types of phenomena you are giving an explanatory role correspond to the range of the function, and the type of phenomenon you are taking as the outcome to be explained corresponds to the domain of the function. So to return to our earlier example, where variations in x and y cause variations in wages, we would instead think of the function as f:(x, y)→w, "f is a function from x and y to wages."
This may seem like a pedantic difference in notation. But it's really a quite important difference in approach to abstract thought. Once you've explicitly identified wages as the space of outcomes under investigation (the range of variation), it would be senseless to describe the function itself (the mapping between the domain and the range) as "wages". So if the function isn't wages, what is it? Well, when I start thinking about relationships in this manner, I start to identify it with the specific causal process I have about what hypothetical interaction between x and y that causes the prevailing wage to rise and fall. And, having identified it with a particular causal process that maps x and y onto w, I am usually no longer thinking of the function as an elastic catch-all which could, at least in principle, take all of the causal influences on w as its arguments, if it were necessary to stretch it to do so.
I don't know whether the two approaches to formalism matter much, in the end. I am a dilettante in both realms, alas, and the main reason I noticed the conflict is that I will unconsciously switch from one style to the other while I am thinking about a problem, generating tangles of inconsistencies and category errors. But I suspect that the two formalisms correspond to two different ways of looking at the world. One treats functions as analytic statements (in the philosophical sense: not synthetic; tautologous) about formal identities. The other treats functions as processes, as transformations of inputs into outputs, or as sequential relationships between abstract states.

I have been on many trips as a solo traveler without a roommate and have had mixed experiences. On a recent trip as the only one without a partner I was frequently asked to change my place at the table so couples could sit together, and I would get moved down to the far end of the table. With other groups though, if I offered to move I was reassured it wasn't necessary as they didn't need to sit together all the time. Groups have different temperaments. Another time several of the hotels had tables set up for exactly four people and I was pretty much excluded from this set up. Or the dinner on your own would occur after a free afternoon or siesta time so I was alone because couples, (including) roommates made their plans when I wasn't around so I had no way to ask or be asked to join anyone. One time we were so many single women that a consensus was never reached and we just had pizza in the hotel.
I want to emphasize that uncomfortable situations have been the exception, but I always know that they may arise, and I certainly won't let such occurrences spoil my trip. But also, before choosing a trip, I check how many dinners are not included, and this is part of my decision. Occasionally I travel with all women, not with Road Scholar, and there the group leader usually suggests a place, and most people including the leader go together. But in my experience Road Scholar leaders generally are not around when plans are being made and are not involved in the process.
Other than meals, almost everything is done as a group, and the group is usually together just before the free times, so plans can be made with others. So I may set out with others, but often prefer to go at my own pace and follow my own interests. Still I never hesitate to travel with Road Scholar as the problems I mentioned are definitely the exception.

If the overwhelming response to our recent story about pairing beer with Girl Scout cookies is any indication, the only thing readers enjoy more than great craft beer is great craft beer with dessert! But cookies and candy don't just make for delicious beer pairings. They also make delicious beer itself.
Here are just a few examples of beer that is brewed or conditioned with the sweet stuff:
- Cinnsation Ale, released every autumn by Odell Brewing Company in Fort Collins, Colorado, is made with cinnamon rolls baked by the nearby Silver Grill Café.
- Evil Twin Brewing adds loads of donuts to an 11.5% ABV imperial porter to create Imperial Doughnut Break.
- Each 15 barrel batch of Leon Russian Imperial Stout, from Pennsylvania's Neshaminy Creek Brewing, features 45 pounds of homemade marshmallow fluff, 16.5 pounds of bittersweet bakers chocolate, and 30 pounds of graham crackers to create a s'more in a glass.
- Loveland, Colorado's Verboten Brewing adds housemade caramel to every batch of its Killer Boots porter.
- Arbor Brewing Company in Ann Arbor, Michigan, brews its Mackinac Island Fudge Stout with real chocolate fudge.
And the rising popularity of cask-conditioned (firkin) beers has inspired craft brewers across the country to "dry hop" with such unique ingredients as candy corn, peanut butter cups, Red Hots, Butterfingers, and blackberry-sage candy.
Sometimes brewers make beer that mimics a specific treat. Oregon's Rogue Ales collaborates with local favorite Voodoo Donuts to create several confectionary brews, each of which showcases its namesake ingredients:
- Voodoo Bacon Maple Ale
- Voodoo Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Banana Ale
- Voodoo Pretzel, Raspberry, & Chocolate Ale
But for the ultimate Girl Scout cookie pairing, look no further than San Francisco's Cervecería de MateVeza. This brewery and empanadas emporium has crafted a series of beers to match your favorite seasonal offerings from the local Girl Scout troop:
- Salted Chocolate Stout with Peanut Butter (Peanut Butter Patties)
- Belgian Dubbel with Cocoa Nibs & Coconut (Samoas)
- Peanut Butter Cream Ale (Do-Si-Dos)
- Peppermint Porter (Thin Mints)
- Shortbread Golden Ale (Trefoils)
So whether you prefer a craft beer that accompanies dessert or a craft beer that's made from it, today's craft beer drinker enjoys more selections than ever before. Have fun exploring your area's unusual offerings, and let us know what you find!

Well, this is a short tutorial about optimizing the textures in UDK and some of the key things to remember
while importing texture into UDK.
Before we start, I would like to list out the supporting formats by UDK.
The following Texture formats are supported:
I often save the texture in TGA but sometime TGA file gets saved in 32 bit and sometimes we happen to save them with plain alpha even though they actually don't contain any alpha information. This is very bad because UDK imports TGA files and tries to compress it with its inbuilt Compressor known as DXTC. However, the alpha is not completely compressed or sometimes not at all by Unreal Engine 3. So it's better to save the file with no Alpha only if you really don't need any alpha information in unreal engine. Make sure the file is saved in 8 Bits per Channel RGB/RGBA format just to avoid complication while importing.
Here I'll be starting off with one of the simple foliage texture that is Banana Palm leaf texture.
We all tend to save the file in three different formats i.e. Diffuse, Specular and Normal map. Although you really don't have to save a separate specular map always because we can extract it from diffuse map.
As shown in the above Unreal Material Editor, I extracted the Red and Green information from the diffuse map and multiplied it and then again I multiplied it with a constant value of 18 just to crank up the result as you can adjust it according to your desire or you could import 256 x 256 specular map instead of constant parameter. You will be able to see the second multiplied value starts to shine a little bit which is the exact thing we wanted after that just plug the result into the specular node. You can also plug the constant parameter value to specular power node only if want a nice and shiny specular Result. That's it we've just created a specular map from a diffuse map and thus saving memory to load one more 1024 res map in engine.3
Whenever we tried to load or save a texture map we mostly miss out to check the resolution or dimension of the texture map. Always check the resolution of the map because UDK only import the texture having the resolution of power of 2, (x2)
For example: 256 x 256, 512 x 512, 1024 x 1024, 2048 x 2048 and so on. Make sure the file is saved in 8 Bits per Channel RGB/RGBA format just to avoid complication while importing.To check that out, open up the file in Photoshop and Go to Image–>Mode–>and there you should see 8 Bits/ Channel selected if not then just click on it.
After you load the texture, make sure that you've set the LOD Bias.
As shown in the above texture properties, I have imported the banana leaf texture with a resolution of 1024 x 1024 but I've set the LOD bias to 1.What Happens here is the resolutions decreases by 1 step (x2) that is 512 x 512 so you don't have to load photoshop for that. The reason I've set the load bias to 1 is because our mesh is simple foliage so 1024 x 1024 is going to drain a lot of memory. Below is the difference between With LOD Bias and Without LOD Bias.
In UDK go to View and then Browser window and select Texture Stats to see the statistic of the textures loaded in your scene.
As you can see in the above pic the textures are loaded in 1024 x 1024 dimensions with no LOD bias set. The Textures here are using the memory of about 1366 kb each.
In the above pic, the textures are loaded in 1024 x 1024 dimensions but with LOD Bias set to 1. Each Textures are using the memory of about 342 kb.
For objects where you need high detail you dont have to do the above process. But for simple static objects like foliage, grass, leaves and any other such static meshes, you can go for the above process. This will save a lot of memory thus optimizing the gameplay.
Thank you for your time 🙂

How about use function area in the mapinfo !
juliusmall replied to hoangdiep's topic in GeoHardwareI think is related to the two main option for surfaces calculus from MI. They are exposed , as an example, at general settings in older MI: you have the option to calculate a surface in "cartesian" or "spherical" . In the new versions this is more hidden. In your case, I think that you are working in a long/lat system, perhaps WGS84; this one is entering in the so called spherical calculus, and you have this as implicit (the screen capture). The cartesian calculus are exposed as options. You must chose, evaluate carefully what you need, what you are targeting in the project. You will make unhappy an engineer if you are offering him a map with degrees... m.....seconds. In reverse, a sailor if you are offering him metric coordinates....

Alluvial Diamond Deposits
juliusmall replied to batalhadematos's topic in Analysis and GeoprocessingHi Paolo, Remember from my text: "collect around 200 l of alluvial, concentrate by panning, then carefully observe the heavy minerals associations". I saw some papers telling about 100 kg (the minimal I think). We were more conservative and prudent in some projects. It is a large quantity; depending on on the pan size, at least 10- 20 pans to wash. Finally, depending on the area, you will obtain some hundreds of grams of heavy minerals; among them, a lot without significance, like magnetite. And then, in less quantities: pyrope and eclogitic garnet, chrome diopside, picroilmenite, chromite; and, to a lesser extent, olivine . The indicators. These are the indicators about a kimberlite body. The kimberlite is decomposing fast and will leave this mineral traces in the alluvial, but diluted with other minerals, depending on the distance. It is what you are searching. Personal (from some sustained field experience, and also a lot of study for Remote Sensing or GIS) I don't think that you can discriminate those minerals, in such small quantities, basis on remote sensing, in alluvials. To few, in order to have a significant spectral signature. See an article, about the kimberlites* As a good help, starting from the satellite data, you can do a geomorphological analysis. Discriminate well and precise the hydrographic network, then to locate some favorable areas (terraces, dejection cones), for heavy minerals concentration. Among them, beside the indicators, you can find, or not, diamonds (3.52 SG). It is what I done, in my projects. Not Angola, but nearby. Then, to start exploring, as I wrote before, on the ground. Or direct mining, with the risks of acquiring heavy equipment and be without enough reserves. I don't know if you have an exclusive license; if yes, can you send me the coordinates, in order to see what it is available (satellite) for that area ? If you are prospecting, and the area is confidentially, please send something like an nearby area, one-two hundreds kilometers distance. They are some new satellite data and I want to see the confidence, if you are agreed. Regards, Iulian * http://www.hgimaging.com/PDF/Kruse_IEEE2000_Kimberlites.pdf "Higher spatial resolution data (1.6m AVIRIS and 4m HyMap acquired in 1998 and 1999, respectively) are being used to map additional detail. Poor exposures, vegetation cover, and weathering, however, make identification of characteristic kimberlite minerals difficult except where exposed by mining. "
Alluvial Diamond Deposits
juliusmall replied to batalhadematos's topic in Analysis and GeoprocessingHi Paolo Are you asking (or your employer) miracles from remote sensing, and especially with free resources, like LandSat. Have you check the cloud coverage in your target area ? You can identify only favorable areas (alluvial fields like meanders, cone shapes, etc). At the Landsat resolution will be difficult..... Then, quatre quatre pieds, meaning foots on the ground and sampling. It is a long process painful lounge and expensive: collect around 200 l of alluvial, concentrate by panning, then carefully observe the heavy minerals associations. A lot of samples like this...... Observation there in the field and also in specialized and expensive laboratories (they are experts specialized in heavy minerals microscopy). I am sure you know all these..... You can have/or not diamonds, or kimberlite indicator minerals. Keep in mind that perhaps only one of ten kimberlites bodies is "pregnant" with diamonds Regards, Iulian
@Capricorn Perhaps you haven't understand. I am not giving data to other to post processing. Just sending people to work in the field according to our goals. I suppose also your urban planing layouts are put in place by some people, starting with the architects, engineers etc and finishing with the last shovel guy. I am returning to the definition: GIS.... Geographical Information Systems. That System from the end is including far, far more than a collection of maps, layouts, etc. ArcInfo maybe it is ended far more powerful, full of analyses capabilities, etc. But it was started on exclusive Unix machines. At ESRI they recovered slowly, migrating late, during the end of '90 to Windows machines. But as you said, we have only the core. Nothing to go, lets say, beneath the the surface. Of earth, water..... @batiporky Low technical users, loosing market ? I know some attempt of ESRI to enter on specialized markets...... and..... So: Exploration, mining: MapInfo/Discover (they are all now, ENCOM-Discover-MapInfo at the same company), Surpac, Vulcan, MicroMine Oil (exploration-production): Petrel, Kingdom Geophysics: Geosoft, Surfer Engineering: Underground water, foundations, etc Just count the possible business figures and try to find the ArcGIS or QGIS corespondent modules. Also, you will discover that they are a lot of highly specialized "low level" experts working in multi trillions industries....... Successful, with high tech results..... and without ArcGIS or QGIS. As I wrote before, beware to what you are targeting, to the appropriate software.... and to the GIS definition
I can tell that MI+Discovery is an essential tool in the exploration and mining industry. Example: I can generate in less than a hour a grid for soil geochemistry and in the second hour to load in the GPS units the coordinates and send people to work. No such module in Arc. And they are a lot of such specialized modules in MI/Discover It is not about the core MI vs Qgis,it is about the final products. Same in geophysics, you will never find Qgis or Arc, you will find products processed in Geosoft..... Same in the oil industry. Other families, not Qgis or Arc So, see what you are targeting......
Problem with Aster image
juliusmall replied to Geo_Gian's topic in Remote SensingI converted one time a grid in an ers format and the altitudes were exploded. In which step do you have these inflated elevations ?
Relation between image resolution and Z accuracy of derived DTM
juliusmall replied to nadar's topic in Remote SensingProbably is expensive: http://www.photosat.ca/mapping-services/30cm-accuracy-topography-mining.php?&utm_source=infomine-mining-com&utm_medium=web-ad&utm_campaign=mining-com-world-map
Forget. A lot of Garmins are using also a barometer sensor. The 72 I think, it has a menu for skydiving...... But on a tablet is different of course
Using a GPS, a Garmin 62sc on a boat near the shore: the error was less than 6 m. Error in theory, because they are other factors also: tide, the error of GPS system itself...... Place: Africa, 2 degrees south from equator
Conversion of 16 bit image to 8 bit using linear stretching?
juliusmall replied to emani's topic in Remote SensingYou can try ecw compression format. It was real increasing the speed. Some simple thinks, digitizing large scanned maps. But the speed of redrawing was real fast after compression. Your software must support the ecw format Regards
MapInfo news
juliusmall replied to juliusmall's topic in General GIS TopicI think W32 is a dead end...Only 3.something gb memory used by the system, So, only an office Pc or something. The most interesting for me is the multi core capacity
MapInfo news
juliusmall posted a topic in General GIS TopicFrom somewhere, from internet: Tom Probert MapInfo Professional Global Product Manager I'm happy to report that a good portion of what you are asking for is on the way in MapInfo Professional v12.5. This is going to be a transformational release. The key pillars are (1) a full 64 bit version will be available. (2) An all new Layout Designer (similar to the Legend Designer) complete with an "active" Layout window. This means you can manipulate the map directly within the layout and do not have to go back and forth between the map and the layout. (3) Use of multiple cores and multiple threads for object processing operations and (4) the 64 bit version will have an all new ribbon based user interface. The 32 bit release will not have the ribbon user interface but will have the new Layout and multiple core support. If you can make it to one of our MapInfo Tour events, we have very early builds of the 64 bit release that we are showing. To be clear these are not beta (not even alpha releases)We will be putting the new release on display at MapInfo User Conference in Memphis.
Aster GDEM 30 m to 5 meters in ArcGIS 10.2
juliusmall replied to dexgeo's topic in Analysis and GeoprocessingBeside the precision problems, ASTER is full with artifacts, gaps, etc. I suspect that is working bad in the areas with clouds. I think I remember T is for thermal reflectance. Sure in my work area, near the equator ASTER has problem. Use SRTM as basis and ASTER if is a place without artifacts. An yes, it is an elevation difference.
juliusmall posted a topic in Off TopicHi everybody, maybe you go to find useful I am making a map in Map Info. Huge, a lot of layers, included contours at 5 m. I am using what I think it is a strong laptop. I7, 16 GB memory, a SSD disk. But MapInfo is still hanging often, meaning when I select a contour I must expect time to time over 10 seconds to fulfil the command. Same for redrawing and others. I just install software, PrimoCache. It is doing something like an extra cache for the disks, outside of windows normal buffers. Everything is working faster now included other jobs. Mapinfo especially. The software is a shareware with a generous trial, 90days. Maybe will be useful; also for other GIS Regards www.romexsoftware.com/en-us/primo-cache

Many people agonize over whether to end a marriage. However, after the decision is made, many would agree that the decision to seek a divorce was the best one for their situation. That decision, though, is just the first step in the process. There are many issues that must be resolved, often including child custody and support and property division. For many, dividing marital assets can be a complicated process requiring guidance from those well-versed in Mississippi family law.
Because Mississippi is an equitable distribution state in regard to marital property, you may need to determine what assets are a marital asset subject to division. Our lawyers can help determine what should, such as an increase in property value during the course of the marriage, and should not, such as an inheritance, be considered a marital asset. We can help with businesses, properties and retirement accounts, among others.
While many television shows portray a divorce as being bitterly argued in court, we can help reduce the amount of time spent in court and decisions that must be made by a judge. By helping you prioritize and negotiate with your estranged spouse, we will try to avoid litigation in court as much as possible. By doing so, the cost and length of divorce proceedings can be shortened.
Once you have made the decision to close one chapter and open another by seeking a divorce, our law firm can help you successfully reach your goals. Our knowledge of Mississippi family law and experience with property division can help you determine what is in your best interest. For more information, see our property division page.

Broadgate Predicts – 2013
Posted on : 31-12-2012 | By : jo.rose | In : General News
Tags: Apple, Application Rationalisation, Blackberry, Cloud, Commoditisation, IaaS, Innovation, predictions, RIM, Samsung
As 2012 draws to a close we look forward to some themes for 2013.
These are our views, not analysts or market research firms. They are general observations and what we have determined during our interactions with clients over the past 12 months as to how we see the industry shaping. Let us know what you think if you can by completing the survey.
- Infrastructure Services continue to commoditise – for many organisations, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is now mainstream. Technology advancement will continue to move the underlying infrastructure more towards a utility model and reduce costs in terms of software, hardware and resource.
- Application/Platform rationalisation – for many large firms there is still a large amount of legacy cost in terms of both disparate platforms, often aligned by business unit, and their sheer size/complexity. The next year will see an increase in rationalisation of application platforms to drive operational efficiency.
- Big Data/ Data Science grows and market starts to consolidate – 2012 was the year that Big Data technologies went mainstream…2013 will see an increased focus on Data Science resource and technology to maximise the analytical value. There will also be some consolidation at the infrastructure product level.
- Data Centre/Hosting providers continue growth – fewer and fewer companies are talking about building their own data centres now, even the very large ones. With the focus on core business value, infrastructure will continue to be hosted externally driving up the need for provider compute power.
- More rationalisation of IT organisations – 2012 saw large reductions in operational workforce, particularly in financial services. With revenues under more pressure this year (and in line with point 1) we will see more reductions in resource capacity and relocation to low cost locations, both nearshore and within the UK.
- Crowd-funding services continue to gain market share – there have been many new entrants to this space over recent years with companies such as Funding Circle, Thin-Cats, Bank-to-the-Future and Kickstarter all doing well. We see this continuing to grow as access to funds from traditional lenders is still hard. The question is at what point will they step in.
- 'Instant' Returns on investment required – growth of SaaS & BYOD is changing the perception of technology. People as consumers are now accustomed to an instant solution to a problem (by downloading an app or purchasing a service with a credit card). This, combined with historic patchy project successes, means that long lead-time projects are becoming harder to justify; IT departments are having to find near instant solutions to business problems.
- Technology Talent Wars – with start-ups disrupting traditional players in areas such as data analytics, social media and mobile payment apps, barriers to entry eroding and salaries on the rise we see a shift from talent wanting to join industries such as financial services and choosing new technology companies.
- Samsung/Android gain more ground over Apple – we already have seen the Apple dominance, specifically in relation to the Appstore, being eroded and this will continue as the potential of a more open platform becomes apparent to both developers and users of technology.
- The death knell sounds for RIM/Blackberry – not much more to say. Most likely they will be acquired by one of the big new technology companies to gain access to the remaining smart phone users.

Elevating Vikings Hockey:
The Time to Invest is Now
View PDF Case for Investment
Step 1: Build a new locker room
Goal: $500,000
Vikings Hockey is the only team out of the 21 NCAA sports Lawrence offers that has its full-time training, practice, and game site off campus. With the program's success comes growth, and as we have grown, the Lawrence Hockey roster and coaching staff have simply outgrown the space we have designated for the program. The time is now to harness the energy of our community and supporter base, seek investments in a strength of the college, and elevate the program to new levels.
We believe that each student deserves their own stall space in our home locker room—a hockey student-athlete's home away from campus. By increasing the square footage of the room, our program could add equipment storage, work areas, and a study lounge. With a renovated locker room space, we could appeal to more talented prospective Vikings and field an even more competitive roster. Above all, we could better retain and equip some of our strongest academic achievers to chase success in Lawrence classrooms.
We need your help. We cannot do this alone. This is a seminal moment in the program's history, in which we can elevate the Vikings Men's Ice Hockey program at Lawrence University for years to come. Please consider an investment in our young men, coaching staff, and program today.
Step 2: Build a program endowment
Goal: $500,000
Once we reach our locker room project goal, we will shift the focus of our initiative and our sights to the building of an endowment for the Lawrence Vikings Men's Ice Hockey program. With a profound upgrade to our facility, the need for perpetual funds that support the maintenance, upkeep, and enhancing of the program for future years will become essential. In order to pursue excellence as a program, it is essential that we begin to build an endowment that is invested, grows into the future, and, lastly, distributes a small percentage of its annual earnings that directly benefits Vikings Hockey student-athletes' recruitment, gear, travel, and overall experience in perpetuity.

Golden West College, Office of Adult Education
The Office of Adult Education at Golden West College seeks to serve adult education students in the local community as they consider their pathways to college and career options.
Adult Education News
The Office of Adult Education at Golden West College hosted the third annual Bridge Day events on November 14 and 15, 2018 on campus. Over 200 potential students participated, primarily from the Huntington Beach Adult School, Lincoln Education Center, BPSOS, and other surrounding community organizations. Dozens of participants scheduled counseling appointments for spring registration, and over 30 were thrilled to get their college ID.
"Bridge Day is important to students because it gives many of them an opportunity to visit a college campus for the first time in their lives," said Dr. Larisa Sergeyeva, Adult Education Program Project Director. "It also gives students the opportunity to continue their studies after they've completed their adult school education, or if they're close to completing high school and seeking post-secondary education."
The Bridge Day's schedule included a tour of the campus, classroom visits, and opportunities to meet with admission and counseling staff. Representatives from EOPS, DSPS, and Puente, were also available to share valuable information about their programs.
"Bridge Day provides the local community with the opportunity and guidance to enroll in college courses, and we let potential students know that age, background, language barriers, and residency status will not affect their success here at GWC," said Sergeyeva. "Our students range from 18-year-olds who have just completed their high school diploma, to a 91-year-old great grandmother taking ESL classes so she can communication better with her grandchildren."
The Adult Education Program at GWC is excited and ready to serve these students in the spring and beyond.
"The goal is to rethink and redesign an educational system that creates seamless transitions for students across adult schools and community colleges to accelerate academic and career success."
AB86, provided the opportunity for developing the statewide collaboration and regional approach needed to maximize the state's return on its investment in adult education. It provided focused priorities and a new regional design for the California Department of Education and the California Community College Chancellor's Office adult education programs based on the state's critical educational and workforce needs.
AB104, the Adult Education Program is established under the administration of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The Chancellor and the Superintendent are the state officials responsible for identifying and understanding the educational needs of adults in the state.

We do Polywrapping in a way that the two edges are brought together, heat sealed together and crop sealed at the top and bottom to create a 'pack'. Mother Herbs has a specialized Polywrapping unit. We have chosen this mode of wrapping for our product because it is an ideal way of mailing the heavier mail pack and is more effective and secure than using paper envelopes. To guarantee design integrity and quality, our machines are fitted with "tight wrap" and film registration units
Strapping – All cartons above minimum size are duly strapped with HD ropes duly locked with metals clamps for additional strength, easy handling and durability.
Taping Machine – can do both horizontal and vertical banding. Successful development and manufacture of this machine has completely changed the current traditional method of binding finished packed product clumsily and slowly by hand and realized binding product full-automatically and quickly with paper tape. With such characteristics as easy operation, artistic and firm binding, high efficiency and low cost it has got wide applications in packaging .
