text: David Tubb - September 23, 2010 The Power of Change Stuck in a rut? Break out by trying new things and thinking new ways. By David Tubb Changing your focus for an upcoming match--shooting to learn instead of just to win, for instance--can make you a better competitor.Training at the range--and often off the range--is focused on developing mechanical skills or shooting capabilities, and, of course, refining and testing technical elements such as ammunition and zeros. While often overlooked, training thought processes can be just as important.We can't produce high scores on technical skills alone. The muscles do only what nerve (fortitude) allows. The difference between practice and match scores, the origin of the bad shot, the focus lapse, suppressing anxiety, controlling apprehensions and anger and so on are all answers to be found within one's self. Everyone is a personality, which is a step beyond saying that everyone "has" a personality. While it is inescapably crucial for everyone to learn to work within his or her own personality (we have no choice), I have found it beneficial to experiment in smaller matches with ways of thinking or different approaches to an overall match strategy. The idea is to find out what seems to help and what doesn't. It's to put yourself in a different situation and see how you react. Just like experimenting with bullet seating depths or buttstock positions, you are experimenting with different behaviors, and the goal is the same: tuning for optimum results.I think this sort of training helps a shooter find little things he can call on, or set aside, whichever the case may be, that might help him stand his ground and get the most from his technical skills. Assuming that a shooter believes there is more, and wants more, I can tell you that a good way to start after it is to make a change. Although it may be difficult for some to look at any competitive situation as anything other than a challenge and feel the need to do his best, I suggest taking the whole outlook or scope of local matches down a notch or two to better use them as learning experiences. I think that some people have a hard time getting over the idea of going to a match without taking along the expectations or pressure of finishing first, but getting over that just might make it possible to do so when it really matters.Following are a few different overall strategies that I have come up with as examples. The point is to experiment, and that always requires one's own creative input.Approach 1. I'm not worried about the scoreboard; I'm worried about my performance against myself. I am not worried about Joe, who beat me last time in Expert class. I'm going to shoot each shot and try to execute each shot as an individual match. I am not going to worry about the previous shot and only worry about the forthcoming shot. I'm going to hold my ground while everyone else is crumbling around me. I'm not going to let my performance level drop to theirs. Period. Approach 2. I'm going to shoot this match and kick Joe's behind. Whatever he does at each stage I just want to be a little bit ahead of him, every time, and in the end I'll beat him. This direct mental approach is aimed straight at Joe.Approach 3. I know I'm not going to win, but I'm going to try to make the fewest number of mental mistakes, sight correction mistakes, equipment errors or oversights, and so on. When I go to the line I'm ready, every time, and if I shoot an eight or a nine, or whatever it is, it doesn't matter. It's a focus on the external, in a manner of speaking. You're making process more important than execution. Another option is to go with the mental approach of rehearsing each shot. I shoot every shot in my mind before I fire it standing, always.At 600 yards I go with the approach that I'm not going to try to chase the wind flags or chase the target spotter; I'm going to dope each shot individually. I'm going to slow everything down and try to make each shot the best shot I can. I'm here to work on my wind reading skills, mirage reading skills, or both. Another option is to have "experiment days." I'm going to try something different at each event. I'm going to wear a different set of glasses, shoot my sling a notch or two looser or tighter. I'm going to change my sight aperture size a little bit or shoot my trigger heavier on a particular day.Of course, these things should first have been done at the practice range, but I always find that shooting in a match and shooting practices are different--things happen differently at a match. Add to these ideas for yourself because you're the one who can determine what you have to work with and what you need to work on. The point is to get yourself out of the rut of doing only as you have been doing in match conditions. Find ways to focus more on process and ways to focus more on result. The focus can change. These are all ways to get better.Everyone has a Joe who beat them last week. Everybody has a day when they think, "I'd like to try this..." A lot of High Power shooters don't get to practice; they only shoot matches. This is a chance to use match time as practice to ultimately get better. The answer is not just in more shooting. It's in different shooting. At some point everyone has to break it down and do something. Changing the way to approach or think may be the easiest and it's effective.

This chapter is based on one company's pioneering work in developing resource management systems and integrated design thinking to make cities more sustainable.
The case of Dongtan eco-city near Shanghai in China is used as an example to illustrate the types of frameworks and guiding principles which have been used to design an eco-city. The company is Arup, named after its founder Sir Ove Arup. It is a global firm of designers, engineers, planners, and business consultants providing a diverse range of professional services to clients around the world.
Dongtan was chosen by the Shanghai Industrial Investment Corporation (SIIC) to be the site for an impressive demonstrator eco-city and in mid 2005 Arup was contracted to design and masterplan the project. As an eco-city being built from the ground up, Arup had to take an innovative approach to formulating the key principles for guiding the building phase of the project.
The chapter defines eco-cities, and then explores the design process used by Arup. This process includes the use of specific tools, models and calculations to compare design options to achieve optimum 'scores' for sectors selected in designing 'demonstrator' or planned cities. Although the design process is presented in four distinct tasks, it is clear that complex masterplans, such as those for eco-cities, involve iterative processes throughout the entire lifecycle in order to be considered more sustainable. In the most basic linear format there are: masterplans, constraints and opportunities, design options and potential solutions. The chapter considers the eight guiding principles of the Dongtan sustainability framework and how these interact with the models used in designing eco-cities. The chapter concludes that 'learning by doing' may be the most beneficial way to create more sustainable cities along with meeting difficult reduction targets for energy, waste, water, and food/consumables.

Welcome, one and all to the most intense nightly read anywhere on the sphere… The BitsBlog Nightly Ramble
- IDIOCY SQUARED: I mentioned in last night's Ramble that the Democrats are busy avoiding the real issue… and used that blithering moron Krugman as the example target. :
But even Krugman can't bring himself to admit the real problem is not the person but the policy.
Krugman himself confirms his absolute cluelessness on the point today:
A message to House Democrats: This is your moment of truth. You can do the right thing and pass the Senate health care bill. Or you can look for an easy way out, make excuses and fail the test of history.
Tuesday's Republican victory in the Massachusetts special election means that Democrats can't send a modified health care bill back to the Senate. That's a shame because the bill that would have emerged from House-Senate negotiations would have been better than the bill the Senate has already passed. But the Senate bill is much, much better than nothing. And all that has to happen to make it law is for the House to pass the same bill, and send it to President Obama's desk.
Krugman once again demonstrates to the world that he hasn't a half a clue, or perhaps half a care, about the will of the people. Voters. Those little speed bumps to the neo-socialist agenda. You remember, voters, right Paul? Gallup:
PRINCETON, NJ — In the wake of Republican Scott Brown's victory in Tuesday's U.S. Senate election in Massachusetts, the majority of Americans (55%) favor Congress' putting the brakes on its current healthcare reform efforts and considering alternatives that can obtain more Republican support. Four in 10 Americans (39%) would rather have House and Senate Democrats continue to try to pass the bill currently being negotiated in conference committee.
The public has been sending this message right along… stop the healthcare bill. Despite the will of the people, Krugman, like the good little progressive he is, continues to march under the red flag.Don't it figure?
- SPEAKING OF HEALTHCARE: Mickey Kaus writes:
Congressman Raul Grijalva–co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus–must be a great source for the liberal healthbloggers in the TPM/TNR/Whippersnapper axis. He's now dramatically announced that he can't vote for the Senate's health care bill–"It does not add up to an improvement in our health care system"–and proposed a complicated two-step alternative that would require the Senate to pass a bill he prefers via the "reconciliation" process, to be followed by a "handful of popular regulatory measures." Yet liberal health reform proponents–who routinely point out that a) the Senate bill is a huge improvement and b) the reconciliation and piecemeal alternatives are unworkable–somehow seem to spare Grijalva the scorn he deserves.Under the Ezra Klein Standard, shouldn't Grijalva be condemned for being "willing to cause the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people"? I think yes!
So do I, Mickey, so do I. .Clearly, there is a double standard in play here. Not that that's anything new for the Neo-socialist Progressives.
Kaus goes on to express the belief that the statement is exactly the kind of CYA you expect from politicians who recognize that their stated goals are going to happen and who still want to be seen as the agendas greatest proponents. It's a thought that the merits serious consideration. If it's true, it appears even the progressives in Congress understand in a way that Paul Krugman does not that what he and the rest of the ultra far left is beating on is now an ex- horse.
- HEY, HOLDER: ABOUT THIS FRUIT OF THE BOOM GUY… Do you REALLY mean to tell me you consider (note I didn't say 'think' Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab is an everyday criminal? Most people don't. Says Byron York today:
After all, Abdulmutallab was trained by al Qaeda, equipped with an al Qaeda-made bomb, and dispatched by al Qaeda to bring down the airliner and its 278 passengers. Even though the Obama administration has mostly abandoned the term "war on terror," the president himself has said clearly that the United States is at war with al Qaeda. So who decided to treat Abdulmutallab as a civilian, read him the Miranda warning, and provide him with a government-paid lawyer — giving him the right to remain silent and denying the United States potentially valuable intelligence that might have been gained by a military-style interrogation?
Look, gang, this goes directly to what I said in my most recent Pajamas Media article:
The bottom line is that, like the Clinton administration, the Obama administration has approached al-Qaeda's war on us thinking that it could be contained and dealt with in the civilian criminal justice system. We don't, in other words, need to treat this as a war. We may or may not have returned officially to the Gorelick policy, but we returned to the attitude which gave us the policy when we put Democrats back in charge of the executive branch.
Granted that two data points may not prove a trend, but there's one more puzzle piece on this line: 9/11 wasn't the first attack on the World Trade Center. The first one occurred under Bill Clinton in 1993. Starting a war was exactly al-Qaeda's purpose then. Despite this, Bill Clinton decided to not treat it as a war. Instead, the perpetrators of that attack were considered to be a band of outlaws to be dealt with by our criminal justice system and diplomacy.
The Gorelick wall is directly consistent with that attitude. Clinton hailed the arrest and conviction of the masterminds involved with that 1993 plot and apparently considered it a closed case, ignoring the larger network of thugs still poised and equipped to attack us. The overall feeling projected by the White House was that we didn't need worry about terrorism anymore, because we'd made an example of the criminals we managed to catch. Certainly this made Clinton's leftist base feel good and made him popular enough among his base to win a second term. But I daresay that the second World Trade Center attack on 9/11 was the direct result of that mistaken approach and that, obviously, terrorism had not been contained by Clinton's approach.
The Democrats didn't learn from that mistake. That point was driven home soundly when President Obama tried to mimic Bill Clinton's strategy on terrorism, and the results were predictable. The only reason that they didn't have to pick pieces of plane and people out of the tarmac in Detroit is because the detonator failed.
But the lack of proper treatment for this prisoner, the lack of correct interrogation, is also directly consistent with the Gorelick wall. This incredibly stupid maneuver was caused by the underlying attitude that I spoke of in that article. This is not a matter of a lack of leadership. It's simply the democrats are leading us in the wrong direction… and to our destruction.
- THE DATE IS SET: (GOING FROM IT to TT) For those who don't know, I have spent the last (nearly) 20 years in IT. I did well, too. The most recent economic downturn, however, (thank you, Democrats!) forced me to seek a more stable career than what IT has turned into of late. I've decided to try my hand at long-haul trucking. Money ends up being about the same. I went to a school to get my CDL and I have as of this week passed all my driving tests, and I will be in Wisconsin on Groundhog day (2/2) for orientation at my new job.
I will probably be leaving at least 24 hours before that. That's because all of the paperwork has been signed, the I's are dotted and T's are crossed to get me working in the new job. I most likely will not be writing this Nightly Ramble for at least a month following the end of January. That's because all I will have in the way of network access to use whatever I happen to stumble across in the offices, and what little network connectivity my smart phone gives me. Following that, I will obtain my own laptop with an air card and we'll be posting rather a lot, I should think. It has been suggested that I should seriously consider changing the name of this blog to something more reflective of my new career, since it was originally named for my old one. I'm giving that serious consideration, but no ideas come to mind immediately. Besides, I like the reputation that this blog has established with this name. We have within the last several months started getting some very good traffic and I don't want to spoil that.

How Coffee Affects Your BodyWho doesn't love a good cup of coffee? Whether it's starting out the day with your morning beverage or grabbing a quick cup mid-afternoon to keep you going the rest of the day, coffee really can make life a whole lot better! Good news: coffee provides A LOT of health benefits! Here are just a few of the ways how coffee affects your body positively:
Speeds Up RecoveryAccording to a study published in 2013, coffee can help to reduce soreness after your workout and speed up recovery. You can drink the coffee before your workout to give you an energy boost, but it's that post-workout cup that will help your body repair damaged muscle tissue more quickly. Plus, you'll be far less likely to develop sore muscles if you have coffee before and/or after your workout.
Burns FatThat's right, coffee can be a potent fat burner! Ingesting coffee before working out helps to kick your body into fat-burning mode. You will burn more calories of fat than normal, helping your workout to be more effective for torching that belly flab or those love handles. If you're going to have a pre-workout coffee, make sure to mix all of your fat-burning moves in the first half of the workout to ensure maximum efficiency.
Increases EnduranceStruggling to get through your workout like a champ? Drink a cup of coffee before hitting the gym and you'll find it will be much easier to power through. According to two separate studies published back in 2013, coffee can help you work out longer and go harder. Coffee reduces your body's perception of pain, so you can push your body to greater limits thanks to the coffee. Your perception of exertion will be altered, and you won't feel like you're working as hard. Plus, you may even react faster and be able to do more reps thanks to coffee!
Protect Your DNA
Free radicals floating around your body are known to cause damage, but thanks to coffee, you can be protected from the damage. Coffee is one of the best sources of antioxidants around, as it's rich in flavonoids. You'll find that drinking coffee can help to protect your DNA, reduce your risk of heart disease, and even aid in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Boost Sexual FunctionYou know that your sex drive is directly linked to your adrenaline, and drinking more coffee will help to boost adrenaline levels. This will help you to last longer in bed, not to mention the fact that you'll have more energy when it comes time to get frisky. But take warning: too much coffee can increase your anxiety and cause your libido to plummet--not the desired result!
Boost MemoryCoffee isn't just a drink you enjoy because it tastes good, but you'll find that it's amazing for your brain as well (one of the reasons it's so addictive!). Coffee has proven to help enhance your brain's ability to form long-term memories. Drinking just 200 milligrams of caffeine (roughly the amount in a single cup of coffee) will be enough to last for 24 hours, and you'll find that your daily cuppa Joe is great to help boost memory and recall.
Improve Your MoodFeeling the moody blues? Try a cup of coffee and you'll feel a whole lot better! Not only will coffee act as a sort of anti-depressant, but it has actually been proven to reduce the risk of suicides. The stimulating effects of coffee will give you a mood boost that will brighten your day, no matter how gloomy.

This week, Shine TV's Jamie Munro, explains the importance of brand-power when developing a hit series and demonstrates its significance in the domestic and international marketplace.
At Shine TV, creativity is at the heart of everything we do, from the creation of new ideas, to the execution of our hit shows but crucially, the way that our commercial and creative teams can interact to bring a new life to content both in individual markets and overseas.
There are 3 key components we prioritise as we push forward to propel our existing global franchises and fast track the best new ideas to screen: 'Brand Creation', Brand Building' and Brand Exploitation'.
When do you start to think of your programme as a 'Brand'? From the moment the programme idea is conceived, we are thinking about what it will mean to viewers and the relationship it will have. We are thinking right from the start in terms of 'Brand'.


text: The condo was exactly as pictured. Being on the first floor made life easier. We simply packed our things and walked to the beach with our little ones. One of the biggest perks is that Pier Park is within walking distance. We really enjoyed our evening strolls to grab dinner without having to worry about parking. We will definitely be staying here again next time we visit PCB. Jenny was a great host. She communicated with us and answered any questions we had in a timely manner.

Spoiler alert: these reviews reveal plot twists.
When a group of criminals attempt a jewellery heist, things go wrong. Is one of them an undercover cop?
What does QT do? This wasn't Quentin Tarantino's first movie. He'd co-written, directed and starred in an amateur film called My Best Friend's Birthday (1987) – which is now partially lost – and did an uncredited rewrite on a forgotten erotic thriller called Past Midnight (1991). But Reservoir Dogs was his leap to the big leagues. As well as writing and directing, QT also cast himself in the minor role of Mr Brown. He has the movie's opening dialogue and dominates the first two minutes. But the character is then rather inconsequential. (In that first scene you can actually see Tarantino break character and get ready to call cut, but co-star Lawrence Tierney has made him laugh so the action continues.)
Notable characters:
* Mr Brown (Quentin Tarantino) is shot and killed during the heist.
* Mr Blonde (Michael Madsen) – real name Vic Vega – is an old friend of gang boss Joe. He's also a sociopath who goes on a killing spree during the robbery. He then turns up at the rendezvous with a fast-food drink like nothing's happened. In the film's most infamous scene, he tortures a cop and slices his ear off. The key moment actually happens off-screen, the camera squeamishly panning away. Madsen's never been better than in this role.
* Mr Blue (Edward Bunker) is killed during the robbery, but we only hear about it afterwards. The actor's life would have made for a decent movie itself. In and out of prison until the age of 42, Bunker then became a writer of crime novels and movies.
* Nice Guy Eddie (Chris Penn) is the shell-suit-wearing, mobile-phone-owning son of the gang's boss. We see him joking around quite a bit, but he gets very angry when the job goes south. Penn's manic line-reading of the phrase "Out of the fucking blue!" is a treat.
* Mr Pink (Steve Buscemi) at first seems like the livewire of the group. He's a rebel who won't tip a waitress, moans about his assigned alias, and is hopping mad when he works out there's an informer in the group. However, he's actually the one character who holds his nerve and acts reasonably (given the criminal context, that is). For staying level-headed, he's rewarded with survival. During the final scene he runs out of the warehouse and then, low in the sound mix, we can hear him being arrested. This film was one of the first to showcase the superb Buscemi and he became a key actor of 90s American cinema.
* Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) is the boss who brings the strangers together to do the robbery. Mr Orange describes him as looking like the Thing from The Fantastic Four. It's not the most dynamic acting you'll ever see but it does fit the character's humourless mood.
* Mr Orange (Tim Roth) is shot while escaping from the chaos caused by Mr Blonde. We later discover he's an undercover police detective called Freddie Newandyke. He spends virtually all of the 'present' scenes lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Roth is excellent, even with a cod American accent.
* Mr White (Harvey Keitel) – real name Larry Dimmick – is the de facto lead character of the film. We often experience the events through his eyes. Even when we learn about Freddie's secret background it's so the reveal is more powerful when Larry finds out. Keitel had got the film made by agreeing to be in it. He gives a fantastic performance.
* Marvin Nash (Kirk Baltz) is the cop tortured by Mr Blonde. In a nice twist, it's later revealed that he recognised Freddie and didn't say anything.
* Holdaway (Randy Brooks) is Freddie's colleague who guides him through his mission.
* The script's only female character – a policewoman played by The West Wing's Nina Siemaszko – features in the deleted scenes available on the DVD. She gives Freddie some background information on Larry/Mr White.
Music: There's no specially written score. All the music instead comes from a fictional radio show called K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s. K-Billy is voiced by droll stand-up Steven Wright. The best uses of songs come during the title sequence, when Little Green Bag by George Baker Selection scores a now-iconic shot of the characters walking in slow motion, and when a torture scene is timed to Stealers Wheel's up-tempo Stuck in the Middle With You. We also hear a snatch of Blue Swede's cover of Hooked on a Feeling, which was later used so well in Guardians of the Galaxy (2014).
Time shifts and chapters: Reservoir Dogs is built on a flashback structure. Not only that, it deliberately misses out the story's key scene: the armed robbery itself. After a prologue showing the characters enjoying breakfast, we cut to later that same day: everything's gone fuck-up and Mr Orange is bleeding to death in the back of a car. The script then pushes forward in real-time segments broken up by a series of flashbacks: Mr Pink just after the heist, Mr White being recruited for the job, Mr Blonde being recruited for the job, and Mr Orange planning and carrying out his undercover mission. The Mr Orange sequence lasts nearly a quarter of the entire film and contains flashbacks within flashbacks. The three main cutaways are given title cards ('Mr White', 'Mr Blonde' and 'Mr Orange').
Review: This taut, muscular and musical script is peppered with pop-culture references and it's noticeable how many actors are mentioned in the dialogue – Lee Marvin, Doris Day, Marlon Brando, Charles Bronson (twice), Anne Francis, Pam Grier… That's apt, because the film's characters are all putting on a performance. They tell stories, use costumes (a black suit and tie), assume stage names, analyse the 'truth' of dramatic situations – and put aside rehearsal-room laughter to 'get into character'. Being a crook in this film is a self-conscious 'act' with its own code of behaviour. Mr White is prepared to kill someone who gets in his way, but considers Mr Blonde a lunatic for shooting bystanders. However warped, he has a morality. (Of course, Mr Orange is playing an additional role because he's lying about his true identity.) They can surprise you too. These guys discuss Madonna's discography with a real level of knowledge; Mr White shows compassion; and Mr Orange gets scared. Hardly your average heist-movie hoodlums. Everyone – even a genuine psychopath like Mr Blonde – is an interesting, dynamic personality. And they get plenty of *electric* dialogue. Tarantino's writing constantly brims with attitude, rhythm and gallows humour. The structure is just as entertaining. In some ways, Reservoir Dogs is like a stage play. Flashbacks aside, it's a real-time story set in one location. Characters actually go off-stage at certain points, or have dramatic up-stage entrances. But at the same time it's vastly cinematic. The flashback structure is vital to the story. It *is* the story, really. The reveals and twists are only possible because we cut to scenes that certain characters are not privy to – no matter the chronological order. For example, the longest flashback comes right after the biggest plot twist. Tension is eked out because we leave the warehouse once we've learnt Mr Orange is a cop. That warehouse, incidentally, is glossy without being glitzy. It's artfully lit, with plenty of natural-seeming light and highlights in the distance, but still rundown, functional and everyday. It's a good job it's such an interesting location because we spend about a third of the movie in there. There's plenty of nifty camerawork too, such as handheld, slow dollies and even a POV shot from inside a car boot that became a Tarantino motif. Quentin also uses numerous long takes: White and Orange analysing what went wrong at the jewellery store, for example, is played out in just two shots totalling nearly three minutes. Reservoir Dogs is a film made by a film geek for film geeks. It was filmed 25 years ago, but is still stunning. Still captivating. Still fresh as fuck.

Pavia administration plans for budget cuts, takes aim at unions
STAMFORD -- Signaling another bleak fiscal year, Mayor Michael Pavia's administration has called on city department heads to prepare for a 5-percent reduction in operating expenses for 2011-12. Outside agencies that receive city funding, such as the Ferguson Library, have been asked to plan for 10 percent cuts.
Fred Flynn, the city's director of administration, said it was "premature" to predict layoffs. Earlier this year, the city eliminated more than 100 city positions after doling out significant cuts that also reduced programs and services. This year's municipal budget is around $450 million.
"I think everybody understands the financial challenges that exist in light of the economic environment," Flynn said. He cited the city's 8 percent unemployment rate. The figure is lower than state and national rates, which are 9 and 10 percent respectively. He also noted commercial vacancy rates, which have hovered around 25 percent and are higher than in Fairfield County, which is at 19 percent.
Amid the slow recovery, Stamford and other cities are also likely see a drop in state funding.
But in setting up a potential confrontation with unions, Flynn largely blamed the need for cuts on rising structural costs caused by "onerous rich union agreements that need to be reexamined."
Flynn said his preliminary projections indicated the cost of union contracts in the form of health care, pension and other post-employment benefits are expected to increase between $18 million to $20 million over the next year.
Of the approximately 3,100 city employees, most belong to unions. Among the contracts set to expire next year are those with fire and police unions
"Everybody is going to have to share the pain to get to an austere responsible budget for fiscal year 2011-12," Flynn said. "I believe it's going to be even more difficult than last year."
He added that in certain circumstances, the city would seek to outsource "low-value added" services related to job areas such as sanitation and maintenance.
Union leaders responded angrily to Flynn's comments, challenging his assessment of their contracts.
Brendan Keatley, union president for Stamford Fire & Rescue, said firefighters recently made more than $500,000 worth of concessions and that members' contributions to pension and health care plans have increased over the years.
Sgt. Joe Kennedy, the president of the Stamford police union, accused the administration of mischaracterizing police overtime, which Flynn has specifically said deserves more scrutiny. Last year, police overtime costs totaled more than $4 million. Overtime pay, however, is not factored into police pensions.
Kennedy said Stamford, which employs 273 police officers, was already understaffed by 50 positions.
"If they want to stop overtime costs, then staff the department properly," he said, adding the city has in fact made a savings by not adding officers he said are needed to police a growing city. "Right now we're at dangerous levels."
Both Kennedy and Keatley accused Flynn of setting a combative tone in advance of union negotiations, which are to begin in January.
"If you don't want to increase taxes you are either cutting services or cutting jobs," Keatley said. "Last year, they cut jobs, this year they're going to come after the unions, and come after them hard."
City departments and outside agencies have until Jan. 17 to submit their budget requests. In early March, the mayor issues his operating and capital budget for approval by the Board of Finance and Board of Representatives.
Several city and agency officials said they had not prepared their budgets yet, but acknowledged that the scale of the proposed cuts were dramatic.
"I was surprised because a 10 percent cut is major," said Ernest DiMattia, president of Ferguson Library. "We underwent a 15 percent reduction this year."
In September, the library reduced hours of operation at all four of its branches.
DiMattia argued that the library, which runs on a budget of approximately $7 million, becomes an even more critical public resource during a bad economy.
"People are still using us a great deal," he said. "They are trying to find options not to spend money. We're one of those options."

Golden smile for Martynov - London 2012 - Shooting
Shooter Sergei Martynov had something to smile about this afternoon after winning gold in the men's 50m Rifle Prone.
The 44-year-old marksman from Belarus already had two bronze medals to show for his previous five appearances at the Olympic Games.
Martynov, dubbed 'the man who does not smile', outclassed the rest of the field at the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich to get his hands on gold.
He scored perfect 600 in qualifying and increased his lead in the final, not missing a single bullseye and nailing one perfect 10.9, to set a new world record of 705.5.
Martynov was a massive 4.3 points ahead of Belgium's Lionel Cox, who took silver with Rajmond Debevec of Slovenia winning bronze.

DP12052 The Effect of Physical Activity on Student Performance in College: An Experimental Evaluation
|Hans Fricke, Michael Lechner, Andreas Steinmayr
|Publication Date:
|May 2017
|Human Capital, physical activity, randomized experiment, sports, student achievement
|Programme Areas:

|Link to this Page:
What is the role of physical activity in the process of human capital accumu-lation? Brain research provides growing evidence of the importance of physical activity for various aspects of cognitive functions. An increasingly sedentary lifestyle could thus be not only harmful to population health, but also disrupt human capital accumulation. This paper analyzes the effects of on-campus recreational sports and exercise on educational outcomes of university students. To identify causal effects, we randomize financial incentives to encourage students' participation in on-campus sports and exercise. The incentives increased participation frequency by 0.26 times per week (47%) and improved grades by 0.14 standard deviations. This effect is primarily driven by male students and students at higher quantiles of the grade distribution. Results from survey data suggest that students substitute off-campus with on-campus physical activities during the day but do not significantly increase the overall frequency. Our findings suggest that students spend more time on campus and are better able to integrate studying and exercising, which may enhance the effectiveness of studying and thus improve student performance.

Nashville: The New Side of a City Built on Chasing Big Dreams
The start-up magnet is building an innovative future on its storied foundations.
Last year, in its most recent annual ranking of American cities with the most start-up growth, the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation put Nashville at No. 4. It's a stat Nashvillians rattle off when asked about their city's recent emergence as a magnet for innovators and entrepreneurs. But numbers don't tell the whole story. To understand Nashville's thriving start-up ecosystem, you have to understand its foundations.
A Tradition of Innovation and Making
"This city was built on people chasing big dreams — and being sole proprietors and creators and makers," says Robert Grajewski, executive director of Vanderbilt University's innovation center, the Wond'ry. He's referring, of course, to Nashville's history as a musical mecca. The music industry "has created a very vibrant culture and a very exciting place to be that then attracted additional talent," he says.
For example, when Neil Whitney wanted to scale his celebrity-curated meal planning start-up, Menud, he decided to relocate from the San Francisco area to Nashville. "The culture's just ripe here," Whitney says. "The music industry has provided … a harbor for very creative people." It doesn't hurt that the cost of running a business is a lot lower than it would be in Silicon Valley. Combine these factors with Nashville's $70 billion healthcare industry and the capital it attracts, and you get an environment that made Whitney confident he'd have a good shot at success.
Disruption Everywhere
Nashville's entrepreneur-friendly environment has resulted from concerted effort. In 2017, Tennessee instituted a tax credit program for investors in early-stage, Tennessee-based companies. Launch Tennessee, the public-private organization that administers the program, also runs a network of entrepreneurship centers and an annual entrepreneurship festival. Other organizations across Nashville are providing training, fostering collaboration and laying the groundwork for innovation.
The Wond'ry, for instance, promotes innovation and entrepreneurship among Vanderbilt students, faculty and staff. That could mean anything from helping someone learn a new skill to helping them launch a fledgling company. The Wond'ry, by Grajewski's tally, has had a hand in 150 new ventures. To take just one example, it recently helped Noah Robinson, a Vanderbilt doctoral student in psychology, launch Very Real Help, a company that's developing a virtual reality platform to treat addiction.
Number of ventures the Wond'ry has had its hand in
Meanwhile, Whitney, the co-founder of Menud, is helping run a program that sets military veterans up for entrepreneurial success. A collaboration between WeWork and the nonprofit organization Bunker Labs, the Veterans in Residence program exists in several U.S. cities. But Whitney says the Nashville branch is the first to offer a structured, entrepreneurship-focused curriculum in addition to workspace and community. Among the participating start-ups, Whitney is particularly excited about NPREX, a marketplace for direct licensing transactions in the music performing rights industry.
While many Nashville start-ups are disrupting the industries for which the city is famous, others are branching out beyond music and healthcare. Sashank Purighalla, founder of the software company BOS Framework, is well-positioned to see the full scope of this diversity. A start-up itself, BOS focuses on enabling other start-ups by helping them streamline the software development process. Its clients are disrupting industries from roofing to title insurance. "One thing that I'm seeing a lot of in Nashville is people are thinking outside the box," Purighalla says.
Warmth and Hospitality
"Thinking outside the box" is one adage that truly comes to life in Nashville — and "Southern hospitality" is another. When you talk to people in the start-up scene about what differentiates the city, friendliness and generosity come up again and again.
The difference struck Robinson, the founder of Very Real Help, when he attended Launch Tennessee's entrepreneurship festival this year. He'd just been meeting with venture capitalists and entrepreneurs in San Francisco. And San Franciscans, he found, tended to be "more cutthroat and self-driven, whereas in Nashville, people are really willing to help each other."
For Grajewski, "that kind of collaboration … that willingness to make introductions and lend a helping hand, is what really sets Nashville, and the state of Tennessee, apart."

Fadil Adil failed to protect workers from asbestos on a restaurant demolition job
A self-employed builder from London has been fined for exposing his workers to dangerous levels of asbestos on a job in the south of the capital.
Fadil Adil was fined £19,300 and ordered to pay costs of £7,654, after failing to protect workers from fibres of the carcinogenic material on a restaurant demolition job in Bromley.
Three workmen were exposed to the material when demolishing the building using sledgehammers and hand-operated breakers.
The City of London Magistrates' Court heard how Adil had not carried out an asbestos survey, did not have a licence to work with asbestos, nor was he trained in construction management.
Health and Safety Executive inspector Ian Seabrook, who was prosecuting, said: "Sadly,this kind of incident is all too familiar because the defendant's actions meant that his colleagues were more than likely exposed to asbestos fibres.
"The dangers of asbestos are well known; it is the single greatest cause of work-related deaths in the UK with around 1,000 tradesmen dying each year from asbestos-related diseases."
Adil was in charge of the demolition of the building between 21 and 29 June 2010.

Which is right for me: a cold saw or a band saw?
That choice depends on 3 main factors: cut quality, material size, and production speed.
Need to make the highest quality cuts with clean, mirror-like edges? Then you probably need a cold saw.
However, band saws can usually cut larger pieces of material than cold saws in the same price range. Band saws also cut more quickly than cold saws.
How long do cold saw blades last?
A blade usually lasts 3 weeks to a month if you're using it for an 8-hour shift with a correct setup.

The objective is to describe existing studies of effects of local safety policy (LSP), aimed at reducing risks, preventing injuries and improving the safety in a community, in an overview. LSP refers to all kinds of safety interventions including one- and multi-component interventions.
Methods: We screened six databases for publications published 2000-2011 and selected publications through title/abstract and full-text exam. The search terms corresponded to the concept LSP. Studies of health care, crime, fire prevention, industry, terrorism, and traffic with motorized vehicles were excluded. The main findings were categorized as positive, mixed, and no intervention effects.
Results: 22 reviews and 45 primary studies were selected. The safety domains/target groups evaluated in these studies include: home (n=272), child (n=253), whole population/community (n=142), elderly (n=130), bicyclist (n=67), pedestrian (n=40), and school safety (n=15). Education was the most frequently studied intervention followed by exercise/training and safety inspection/assessment. Bicycle helmet legislation, safety education, burn prevention, traffic calming, and fall prevention exercise programs were found to be effective for some age groups of the population.
Conclusion: Positive intervention effects are contingent, dependent on many factors, and require a valid intervention theory and successful implementation. There is a need to support continuing collection of local intervention and outcome data, and to develop evaluation of local safety interventions.
Implications: A policy implication of this overview is the need for supporting improved monitoring and evaluation of LSP. Support for continuing collection of high-quality data, preferably disaggregated, on safety interventions, incidents, and injuries on the local level would allow for better conclusions on intervention effects.

In our busy, fast-paced lives it is easy to become overwhelmed with work, social and family commitments, especially in the lead up to the holidays. All of this combined with our reliance on technology and social media means we often find it hard to switch off. This is why it is so important to take time out for ourselves. We looked at simple methods to achieve mindfulness and a healthy headspace in your day-to-day life. In the practice of mindfulness, 'the journey is the destination' so try incorporating some of these techniques into your daily routine in the lead up to Christmas and see what works for you.
Move your body
Join the gym, try a new class or team sport and even just go for a walk. Moving helps us centre our thoughts and increases the flow of endorphins and oxygen through our body. If you live in the city, being outside in nature for a bushwalk or beach trip is a relaxing way to escape and take a breath. Studies have shown that exercise helps improve focus, promotes restful sleep and has a positive effect on mental health, along with many other benefits.
Listen to relaxation music
When we listen to music, this can act as a distraction from aspects of our lives through the immersive state of 'flow', which in turn can provide health benefits. As music is engaging, we are involved in different levels of processing which can produce positive neurological effects in the brain.
We have created a calming mindful playlist below for you to try:
Breathe or try a body scan
Breathing mindfully is a wonderful anchor and can really help you to get in touch with your mind and body. You can also try a body scan meditation, where you bring moment-by-moment awareness into your body. Focus on the breath and moving your thoughts slowly from one part to the next. A body scan can help bring your full attention to notice any observations, vibrations or tenseness and really focus on why you might be feeling these sensations. Body Scanning paired with breathing exercises can help us get in tune with our bodies and bring a heightened sense of awareness, which we often forget to do. This can help with releasing stress, as we can learn to spot our stress signals early and respond to it before it causes us any longer term issues, like high blood pressure, heart disease, depression or anxiety.
Mindful eating
We are used to eating on the go or eating lunch at our desks. To eat mindfully, sit at a table with your food (your desk doesn't count) away from distractions such as your phone, and television etc and really think about and enjoy the process of eating. You may want to try the following:
- Look at the colours, textures and aroma of the food you are eating
- Think about where your food came from
- How hungry did you feel before and after eating
- Try eating with your non dominant hand
- Take small bites and chew well
- Run a timer for 20 minutes and aim to eat your food through this period of time
Switch off from technology
Try and switch off from technology for at least an hour of your day. In this information age, our worlds are built around planning, analysing, striving, creating and working – we are so connected to computers and phones that it is important to switch off and enjoy the moment instead of scrolling through endless newsfeeds.
Do something kind for yourself
It is important to treat yourself kindly and remember to do things purely because you enjoy them. Whether it is a long bath, a quiet 10 minutes out with a herbal tea or a pedicure with a friend, these little things mean you have taken time out from the busyness of life to just be. Taking care of you is just as important as taking care of others.
We hope this guide will help you achieve a healthy headspace for the rest of the year and beyond. Remember, there are many useful tools online to help us achieve mindfulness, including forums to discuss and explore the process of mindfulness (from experienced practitioners to beginners) and guides to achieving a healthy mind. There are also several free apps available which feature guided meditation to talk you through the process such as 1 Giant Mind, Headspace and Smiling Mind.

"When solving problems, dig at the roots instead of just hacking at the leaves."
~Anthony J. D'Angelo, 'The College Blue Book'
What happens when a tree is pruned by "hacking at the leaves"? Well, under "normal" conditions, the tree becomes healthier and more robust. The tree flourishes.
Most of us go through life pruning a problem that should be uprooted. Our "leaf-hacking" gives the problem more time and energy to yield healthier, more robust, more potent problems.
Think of your life as a forest with all kinds of trees. The trees represent the experiences–people, flora, fauna, places, things, so on and so forth–that give your life its unique character…and challenges.
Now, your life's work is to be Best Caretaker of the Forest Called Your Life. Your job is to prune and nurture trees (experiences) that promote overall health in your forest (vision/life) and uproot trees that are bringers of disease.
Your goal as caretaker is to keep the forest (your life) healthy and efficient. The best way to accomplish the goal would be to constantly observe, research, study, test, revise and upgrade your tools and methods. You must become so expert at caretaking (living) that nothing about you or your forest (life) is superficial or wasteful.
As your caretaking skills grow, one fruit of your labors will be the ability to discern which tree needs a hacking of the leaves and which tree needs digging at the root. Most importantly, you'll neither dig out a tree that only needs pruning, nor prune a tree that needs digging out of Your Forest.
What's your interpretation of this quotation?

2018 Spring Jinggu 'Yesheng' Purple Tea Mao Cha
£3.95 – £13.85
A delicate and pure tasting Purple tea with long afteraste.
Popularity and speculation in Purple tea is rising. 'Yesheng' (literally meaning 'wild born') Purple, as a tea has traditionally been offered as 'wild arbor' as its a naturally occurring varietal but the increase of recent interest has resulted in new plantations popping up! This material is plantation or 'terrace' tea of Jinggu County Yunnan. Taste is delicate for the first 2 infusions leading to a light but pure (wild tasting) 'Purple tea' flavour that's hard to pin down. Vegetal, Umami, floral all at once with just enough bitterness & astringency to balance the tea out. This carries into a satisfying 'Purple' aftertaste. Mr Guru noticed a very powerful Chi from this tea but 'Chi' is subjective!
100g, 20g, 250g, 50g
This is interesting tea. Actually, it's quite strange tea. I've had purple yesheng puer before, but this is different. It's quite sweet and there's not a lot of bitterness or astringency. And there is that purple tea taste lurking in the background. There's also something else: a smokey, almost a burnt, taste. I like a slightly smokey puer, but I'm not sure what to make of this. I suspect it may have been over-fried in the wok. It's not a bad taste, but I'm still trying to put my finger on it after an initial session of about 6 infusions.
What it definitely has, at least for me, is a strong and quick cha qi which I would describe as more of a "psychic" than a physical qi. I got a bit of energy from it, and unlike other puers which put me into a drowsy-dreamy state, this was a bit more on the mind-altering side. Qi experiences seem to be highly subjective and different from person to person, and even from time to time. So I will need to try this again to explore the effect.
Also, next time I try this tea I think I will increase the leaf-to-water ratio to concentrate the flavour a bit.
So, an interesting tea, worth a try at the quite reasonable price.
I've tried several yesheng teas and this is much milder than others. I think the others were all wild purple tea and had a bit more "oomph" in the taste. This is a good everyday drinker and good intro to purple tea.
Good gong fu or big tea pot style and a good price.
I've had a few sessions with this purple maocha now. It combines some flavours I recognise in purple and others I've not experienced here before. A unique balance that was worth getting used to. The first session was a fun surprise, the second session was uncertainty, the third session was appreciation. Since I still have enough leaves for more sessions, I'm thankful to have reached that point of appreciation! If you are familiar with other purple, use the first couple of sessions to get used to the differences with this batch…then enjoy the ride fully after that.

I started painting 10 years ago because I felt this passion and when I started I felt immediately my inclination to this art. So, I studied with an Italian watercolorist that gave me the bases and then I studied as self-taught.
In 2008 I started to exhibit in national exhibitions and then in 2009-2010 I was selected as signature member in the Italian Watercolor Society (AIA) and in english Birmingham Watercolor Society (BWA). The same year I started with international exhibitions (Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, United Kingdom, France, USA).
In 2013 I became a NWS signature member and a NEWS signature member (North East Watercolor Society).
Since 2010 I'm engaged with workshops around Italy and Europe.

Eleven years ago Nicolette Wood left her tight-knit family in Miami and headed west — all the way west — to pursue her dream of doing animation. At only 29 years old, "Nico" has made a name for herself as a successful television animator in LA. With her dream career securely underway, Nico can now focus on finding balance and contentment in her personal life… as she puts it, "figuring [herself] out." Cannabis has been one of the friends she has called on during this journey of self-discovery.
I come from a very big family — I have 30 cousins and they all live in Miami, my whole family is still there. You know the saying "it takes a village"? Well, I was literally raised by one. Moving to LA to go to animation school was something I really wanted to do, but I don't think at 18 years old I realized what a huge deal it would be, moving all the way across the country and away from my "village." Choosing to stay and work here was a big decision too, and eleven years later, I am still finding my way and carving my place here.
I'm half Jamaican. I grew up in Miami with my mother's side — all my Jamaican families. On my Jamaican side, everyone is very conservative and no one smokes weed. It's something that's looked down on. Although that's a bit strange since we make really good rum and have a lot of Jamaican Rum punch parties! It wasn't until I was in high school that I learned that Jamaicans had a reputation with weed, so I didn't start smoking until my early 20s. I had started working and I moved in with some friends and we'd roll, and smoke together, and watch movies on a projector in the living room. It was a really fun time, kind of the time I started feeling like I was building a life for myself out here in LA.
Cannabis feels like a very good friend. Just like a relationship with a friend, my relationship to cannabis has really evolved. "
Now, cannabis feels like a very good friend. Just like a relationship with a friend, my relationship to cannabis has really evolved. At this point in my life cannabis is almost always something I enjoy on my own. Since my professional life is about making art, I can become overwhelmed by the idea of making personal work. I second-guess myself. I discovered last year that a few puffs from my pipe helps me relax enough so that I can focus and sit down and draw. One of my favourite routines is to come home after work, eat something for dinner, set up all my art supplies and then take an edible I am familiar with (so I know what to expect from the effects) — and then I'll start working and start to feel it kicking in, and it feels great. Or I'll smoke some weed, draw a bath, and reflect on things that have felt bad or overwhelming in my week. I can focus on my art and on my thoughts — these rituals help me figure my shit out.
Going home to visit is a surreal experience. I was back in Miami recently and while I was there something really clicked for me. For the first time I saw my mother as a person, not just as my mom. I love my family but being around them can be draining. I've been realizing that I've felt trapped by guilt, and shame, and a desire to be understood by the people who raised me. There are things about me that my family doesn't understand and probably never will. I am recognizing that they will likely never change, not really, and it can be very freeing to accept that kind of truth. How can I embrace who I am and what I want and what makes me happy? I'm actively asking those questions. The goal is to get to a place where you can tell yourself: "I deserve to be happy. I deserve to live my best life." And then from there, go out and get it.
In my early 20s I became close friends with one of my roommates, and we would smoke weed and talk about the universe; the wonders of planets, stars, how many moons Saturn has, how big a galaxy is… It was lots of fun, and sometimes silly, and light, but there was also something expanding inside of me during that time. Talking about things so much bigger than my little world helped me to feel more comfortable to talk about really personal, intimate things too. Cannabis has helped me focus my thoughts, imagine wonderful things, and grow as a person. It can be as simple as taking some time to see the big picture. To zoom out. To laugh out loud. To just be.
Work isn't everything: take up a hobby.
Choose something that you look forward to but that's slightly out of your comfort zone — trying new things and learning new skills helps keep us curious, sharp, and optimistic. Nico recently took up "jam dance" classes at Contact Improv studio. "I'm not a very good dancer but that doesn't matter because the whole point of the class is there are no rules. You have a partner, like in acro-yoga, and once you dance with someone you learn like where to put your body so that they can lift you or spin you or maybe you just roll on each other. I felt that I needed to get more in touch with my body and not always be drawing or looking at a computer screen."
Express yourself creatively.
We're all creative beings: making things, writing, or even doodling on the regular can help us tap into our creative center and make us feel more fulfilled. Nico makes zines and comics as an outlet for personal expression outside of her work as an animator. "There's nothing more precious to me than this time I take for myself. When I don't make time for it in my life I'm a mess."
Find a crew.
It's important to surround yourself with a community of people you can feel like yourself around. In LA, Nico says she has found her people: "My friends are queer women of color who, like me, love anime and weed. I love to take long walks with a friend and a joint. We will walk for hours and talk about the things on our minds. Our parents or jobs or micro-aggressions we experience in our day-to-day. We work those things out. Everyone deserves to have space to feel like they can be one hundred percent themselves.
