We looked at one factor per position on the offensive side of the ball that might allow an NFL player on the "bubble" of his roster to secure one of the last spots on a club's 53 man roster. Quarterbacks showing smarts, wide receivers with return skills, running backs bringing a different element, tight ends capable at the line of scrimmage, and offensive linemen that can "swing".
Now we look at the defense and the one factor at each position that might just convince the General Manager or Head Coach to keep a young player or aged vet around for another season. These are based upon my own experience and perspective of the game. You might have a different outlook as to what can hold off "The Turk".
Linebackers – SPECIAL TEAMS
Linebackers are like Humvee's, they can go anywhere and do just about anything you ask them to do. They very well might be the most versatile athletes on the football field. Linebackers have likely played running back in their younger years, or dropped down from the secondary out of positional need in college. They have the speed of most skilled players on offense, the strength of a Tight End, and the instincts of a quarterback. They're asked to fill versus the run like a tackle, drop into coverage like a corner, or blitz off the edge like an end. And in the end it takes an athlete of incredible skill and flexibility to do all those things and more on the football. That's why LB's are so valuable on Special Teams. Protect inside, run down and cover, fall back and block, fair catch a sky kick? Check, check, check, and check.
Defensive Backs – NICKEL & DIME
I wouldn't play secondary if you paid me a million dollars! Well maybe two million, but that's not the point. Todays' defensive backs have the hardest job in all of football. As offenses become more complex and open, and as rules continue to favor the movement of the ball downfield, playing corner or safety takes a lot of . . . well, let's call it courage. Just south of linebackers, defensive backs are asked to do a lot to supplement a game plan to slow down the high powered offenses in the NFL. Four DB's and a front 7? Not overly likely in today's game. Professional defenses require a stable of talented DB's, and not just for depth. Young cover guys have to supplement and adapt to both nickel and dime schemes with seamless consistency. That's takes understanding, discipline, and confidence in the backend of the position. These players have to be as secure in their abilities as your starters, or the likes of Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, or Drew Brees will sniff them out in a second.
Defensive Linemen – STRENGTH
Some might argue with me here and lean towards quickness, but I've seen a lot of quick interior linemen get run right by a play without the "lead in their pants" to hold point or position. Good anchor upfront is where it all starts, then worry about the shed. Functional strength in a front four is one of the very first things you notice MISSING when a defense begins to struggle. The lower body leverage and upper body power accentuated by youthful athleticism is as exciting to watch as anything on the football field, especially from a scouting perspective. And strength doesn't necessarily mean mass either. Some of the strongest DL's I've seen were packed into smaller frames and able to get up under even the nastiest offensive linemen. Penetrating quickness and burst off an edge get paid millions of dollars for that premium, your backup depth better be able to just hold their own.

by gino arcaro- owner of X Fitness, welland, ontario, canada
Our main priority at X Fitness to ensure customer retention is providing every gym member with "The Experience."
'The Experience' is part of our business language. 'The Experience' refers to the strongest, positive emotional event that a customer can feel while working out at X Fitness. 'The Experience' transcends working out. The workout is the core of The Experience, the heart and soul of The Experience, but not the whole experience.
We have defined and refined what The Experience means at X Fitness through past experience. We carefully studied what worked out for us in the past, during 4 decades of athletic leadership and academic leadership that included 40 years of coaching football and two decades of teaching and coordinating two college law enforcement programs. The Experience was the heart and soul of our football program – in the gym, on the practice field, and on game-day. The Experience was the heart and soul of my academic program, in every classroom, during every semester. The Experience was the #1 factor in student-satisfaction and retention. After studying what worked out, we identified Best Practices and included it in our X Fitness Business System, our playbook that governs every single decision we have ever made since we started X Fitness from scratch.
Providing The Experience needs practical experience. The Experience we provide customers is the most important element of customer retention because The Experience is the main factor that makes customers decide to keep renewing – dual meaning: themselves and memberships. The Experience renews members. When members renew, they renew. When they feel renewal, they renew their membership. I'll explain exactly how we do it in the future.
X Fitness is committed to lift in mind, body and soul. Our lifting mission includes sponsoring Blunt Talk Podcast that has reached 83 countries and over 40,000 listeners in 3 years. All Blunt Talk Podcasts are soul-lifting. All 501 episodes are free, permanently archived at: www.ginoarcaro.com

The team at Booths Garden Studios have sent us this photo of their latest QC2 VF Garden Studio. Booths QC2 VF range features a 'fly over' roof and deck area which extends the living area of the studio outside. Booths have designed the QC2 VF to be low maintenance with upvc doors, windows and fascias and coated steel cladding.
Garden studio owner Dave Harrison is delighted with his new studio and writes:
"Thanks for your prompt and courteous service.'Er indoors is over the moon with her new studio; also the dog loves his new posh kennel! The building fits well into its wooded surroundings and will look even better when the paddock fence is replaced. It's a pity; one can't quite make out the Lakeland fells in the window reflection. As suggested to Brian – we would happily allow any potential customer of yours to view our posh shed."

Flight 370 and strategic thinking
The tragedy of a lost Boeing 777 airliner and its passengers has dominated the news, starting with 24/7 coverage by CNN. This news coverage has spawned and forwarded many theories about just what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, some simple, some complex, some as far-fetched as flying into a black hole.
The cacophony over the loss of an airplane echoes an incident that dominated the news nearly 80 years ago. We are as drawn to figure out Flight 370's fate as our parents and grandparents were to learn the fate of aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart when her Lockheed Electra disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe.
While the phenomenon is not new, the tremendous divergence of ideas, claims, hypothesis and theories about what transpired with Flight 370 is striking, and even disturbing if the standard by which to judge the thinking is logic.
The torrent of conversation about Flight 370 offers an opportunity to explore how strategic thinking can be used to best assess a complex situation. The applicable points for organizational strategists seeking to find the best path to a better future include situation/SWOT analysis, strategy formulation and risk assessment.
We can't begin to claim that we have expertise and knowledge to sort out what happened to Flight 370 and why it happened. But we can offer powerful principles and approaches, mostly ignored by the media, that can help those with facts and expertise sort out and assess what happened to Flight 370. We trust that the "best and the brightest" of the authorities, companies and consultants who are charged with understanding the situation are using these principles and approaches.
The point we seek to make is that these same powerful principles and approaches can be used by organizational leaders to improve the effectiveness of their strategy making.
According to The Free Dictionary, parsimony is:
Adoption of the simplest assumption in the formulation of a theory or in the interpretation of data.
Thus, applying the principle of parsimony, whatever you think might have happened to Flight 370, use the simplest explanation.
Likewise, when you are looking at an organization's opportunities and threats, go to what's simplest and appears to be most likely.
This leads straight to Occam's Razor.
From Wikipedia:
"Occam's razor (also written as Ockham's razor from William of Ockham (c. 1287 – 1347), and in Latin lex parsimoniae) is a principle of parsimony, economy, or succinctness used in problem-solving. It states that among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected. Translated to common English: if there are multiple possible explanations for an event or result, the simplest is almost always correct.
The application of the principle often shifts the burden of proof in a discussion. The razor states that one should proceed to simpler theories until simplicity can be traded for greater explanatory power. The simplest available theory need not be most accurate."
Occam's Razor challenges us to stay with the simplest explanation of what happened to Flight 370 – but to be ready to incorporate new evidence that supports a less simple but more comprehensive explanation.
In the case of an organizational situation or SWOT analysis, when dissecting what the evidence suggests, stay with what's the simplest explanation – but be ready to change the explanation based on new information.
From TutorVista.com:
Degrees of freedom is the number of values which are involved in the final calculation of a statistic that are expected to vary…the independent part of data used in calculation. It is used to know the accuracy of the sample population used in research. The larger the degrees of freedom, the larger the possibility of the entire population [being] sampled accurately.
Relationship of degrees of freedom to parsimony, from Talkstats.com:
The principle is that we want our model to provide an accurate, but parsimonious description of the data. As the number of parameters in the model approaches the number of data points, the model will be better able to accurately fit any arbitrarily complex dataset, but the tradeoff is that the model is also less and less parsimonious. In the limit where there are just as many parameters as data points, all the model has really done is provide a verbatim redescription of the dataset, so that it's really not clear if we've learned anything. In practical terms, when the ratio of parameters to data points becomes too high, the generalization error of the model (i.e., the ability of the model to predict data points not found in the original data set from which parameters were estimated) suffers.
The concept of degrees of freedom further supports simplicity, lest we "over fit" the data we have to give us a predicted outcome that in reality is not valid given the evidence at hand. With the limited data set available on what happened to the plane while in the air, whatever "model" created to explain its fate needs to be simple.
For understanding plane disappearances and projecting an enterprise into the future for the purpose of developing strategies for the best outcome, complex interpretations built on limited information – that is, non-parsimonious models with few degrees of freedom using limited data – are more likely to fall apart as more information is introduced.
Next, consider Bayes Theorum.
According to Encyclopaedia Britannica, Bayes's theorem is:
A means for revising predictions in light of relevant evidence.
The website askdefine.com states:
Philosophers and scientists who follow the Bayesian framework for inference use the mathematical rules of probability to find [the] best explanation. Bayesianists identify probabilities with degrees of beliefs, with certainly true propositions having probability 1, and certainly false propositions having probability 0. To say that "it's going to rain tomorrow" has a 0.9 probability is to say that you consider the possibility of rain tomorrow as extremely likely. Through the rules of probability, the probability of a conclusion and of alternatives can be calculated. The best explanation is most often identified with the most probable.
According to Wise Geek:
Bayesian probability…views likelihoods as probabilities rather than frequencies. Bayesians emphasize the importance of Bayes' theorem, a formal theorem that proves a rigid probabilistic relationship between the conditional and marginal probabilities of two random events. Bayes' theorem puts great emphasis on the prior probability of a given event — for instance, in evaluating the probability that one patient has cancer based on a positive test result, one must be sure to take into account the background probability that any random person has cancer at all.
Bayesian inference instructs us to start with a base rate – the singlemost salient piece of known information that points to a probable answer. In the case of Flight 370, this table from PlaneCrashInfo.com summarizing 60 years of world-wide commercial airline accident data offers a great starting point for a base rate:
In the case of Flight 370, the applicable base rate might be that 50% of plane "events" in which passengers suffer fatalities – 542 or so of the 1,085 accidents summarized in the table – are the result of pilot error of one sort of the other. We would thus hypothesize a 0.5 probability that pilot error was the cause of the loss of Flight 370.
Note that we do not start with hijacking as the premise. The data show that "sabotage" caused only 9% of plane accidents with fatalities – about 98 incidents. In support of the infrequency of hijackings, whether resulting in fatalities or not, my count of Wikipedia's list shows only 122 hijackings of commercial airplanes since 1932, with the most in the 1970s -1990s. After 2001, the rate of hijacked airliners dropped dramatically, presumably due to increased airport and airplane security.
Then using Bayesian inference we would look for new evidence that we would use to modify the base rate. As Robert Hagstrom writes in The Warren Buffet Portfolio:
Bayesian analysis gives us a logical way to consider a set of outcomes of which all are possible but only one will actually occur. It is conceptually a simple procedure. We begin by assigning a probability to each of the outcomes on the basis of whatever evidence is then available. If additional evidence becomes available, the initial probability is revised to reflect the new information.
Bayes's theorem thus gives us a mathematical procedure for updating our original beliefs (which had resulted from what he called a prior distribution of information) to produce a posterior distribution of information. In other words, prior probabilities combined with new information yield posterior probabilities and thus change our relevant odds.
One factor that appears not to have played a role in the fate of Flight 370 is weather. Bayesian analysis would have us revise our base rate 0.5 probability of pilot error upward to reflect the elimination of weather as a cause. The table on accidents with fatalities shows 12% attributed to weather. If we remove weather as a cause for Flight 370, our probability estimate that pilot error was the cause grows to 0.57. (The math, while unimportant in understanding the effect, is: 0.5 pilot error base rate / (1.00 all factors – 0.12 weather factor) = 0.5681818 revised probability of pilot error.)
Similarly, other evidence can be incorporated to modify the base rate prediction – perhaps even to justify moving to another cause as more probable.
But why not instead start by considering something unique and unforeseen, be it flying into a black hole, capture by extraterrestrials or a meteor strike? (These and many more wild theories were put forth in the wake of the plane's disappearance.)
Could the loss of Flight 370 be the result of a true "Black Swan" event?
Nassim Nicholas Taleb writes in The Black Swan:
A Black Swan is an event with the following three attributes. First, it is an outlier, as it lies outside the realm of regular expectations, because nothing in the past can convincingly point to its possibility. Second, it carries an extreme impact. Third, in spite of its outlier status, human nature makes us concoct explanations for its occurence after the fact, making it explainable and predictable.
. . .
How is it that some Black Swans are overblown in our minds when…we mainly neglect Black Swans? The answer is that there are two varieties of rare events: a) the narrated Black Swans, those that are present in the current discourse and that you are likely to hear about on television, and b) those nobody talks about since they escape models… I can safely say that it is entirely compatible with human nature that the incidences of Black Swans would be overestimated in the first case, but severly underestimated in the second one.
How do convoluted hijacking theories strike you? As seemingly "likely" Black Swans because the media have forwarded them? Here are two, combined: The plane was hijacked by a passenger who figured out how to use a mobile phone to hack into the plane's flight management system to change the plane's speed, altitude and direction. and who then flew it in the shadow of another airplane to escape radar detection.
While a Black Swan event indeed could have caused the loss of Flight 370, the likelihood and especially the predictability of a true Black Swan occurrence in conjunction with Flight 370's fate is extremely low – that's why such events are labeled "Black Swans."
A reason we don't typically think like Bayesians and use a base rate reweighed by new data as it emerges is also a reason why, however remote, we miss seeing the true possibility of Black Swan events. When presented with a situation, we are programmed to immediately "fit" the information at hand to our experience – magnified by what is most current to us and what instinctively seems "like" or relevant to the situation – whether it is really applicable or not.
As described in our last post, Often wrong but never in doubt, in his book Thinking, Fast and Slow, Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman describes research that he and his late partner, Amos Tversky, conducted on judgment and decision-making. His premise is that our minds operate through two systems: System 1, which is automatic, intuitive and through associative memory instantly fits the sensory input we receive into the framework that fits best using our previous experience, and System 2, which is controlled and deliberate. Using System 2 to identify a base rate and modify it using new evidence demands attention, choice, concentration and effort to overcome System 1's intuitions and impulses.
What was the first thing you thought of when you heard Flight 370 was missing? My mind (System 1) jumped to terrorism. Odds are yours did, as well, given the years-long focus we have in the U.S. and elsewhere on terrorists commandeering airplanes. Yet, we have already demonstrated that the way we are programmed to think led us astray, at least from what Bayesian inference would have us consider as the most likely initial hypothesis.
The intent of this exercise in applying statistical methods to Flight 370 is to highlight seemingly powerful approaches that can improve strategy development. The extent to which strategic thinkers, analysts and leaders in organizations are using these methods is not apparent. (Perhaps we can start with a base rate estimate of 0.01 and look for evidence of use!)
Yet the possibilities offered by this analytical thinking are fascinating and maybe even compelling. Consider:
- Increasing confidence about the rate of adoption of a given technology which the organization is developing or can develop.
- Weighting the likelihood of various organizational threats – weather related, competitor based, consumer attitudinal, whatever.
- Positing a key strategy and then playing out its most likely impact using Bayesian inference.
- Elevating one scenario or even vision for the organization over others proposed based on its parsimony, "fit" and degrees of freedom.
This approach is far from the "chasing every shiny object" mode of operating that far too many organizations pursue. Maybe "slow thinking" is true "strategic thinking."

7 Must Do Environmental Factors to Boost Your Immune System Daily
1. Seek Emotional Mastery (Advanced Training Available)
2. Enjoy Vitamin G daily! Grounding AKA Earthing is being directly connected to the earth to gain all the powerful healing properties in just 25 minutes.
3. Practice Breathing Exercises (Example Wim Hof Method, Advanced Training Available)
4. Create a 'Fox Hole' a place in your mind that is beyond all outside factors.
5. Eat Fresh and Seasonal Foods
6. Drink clean alkaline water.
7. Take a Plant-Based Balanced Immunity Supplement
The Environment is what is the one around us and the one inside us. When I think about Environmental Immunity I think about Wim Hof. He is worth studying and spending time understanding his approach to controlling his inner environment.
"Environment" here encompasses all the things we eat, drink and breathe — from food to industrial chemicals and the drugs we put into our bodies. Scientists refer to this entire landscape as the exposome — all of the exposures that come from outside a person's body. And combing the exposome for disease triggers is a huge job.
"When germs enter the body, a powerful defense system may turn on. Known as the immune system, it calls in cells that serve as combat troops, snipers and medics. Some of these cells take on invaders. Others clean out sick and dead cells. Still more trigger healing. Genes hold instructions for making many of those immune troops and their weapons. But a study now finds that the environment may play a bigger role than genes do in revving up the immune system and shutting it down when the battle is over."
The immune system protects us from infection by attacking disease-causing organisms and substances that enter the body. But in people with immune-mediated diseases, the cells of the immune system go rogue and start to attack healthy tissues. "We don't really know why the immune system goes wrong in most cases of a disease," says Michael Pollard, an immunologist at The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California.
Some of the earliest evidence of environmental risk factors for immune-mediated disease comes from the "dusty trades" — mining, quarrying, tunneling and stonemasonry.
There is new science and information that make it very exciting today. No matter where you are in the factory, in jail, stuck at home, in the office, on a commute to work, at home with the kids or even traveling the world you have full access to create a powerful environment within and around you. Below are key elements to be considered and practiced along your healing journey.

Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Story from the AP:
RENO, Nev. (AP) -- It's not all checking hunting and fishing licenses. Sometimes the issues are bigger. Like when a Nevada game warden was Handed the chore of figuring out how to separate two bull elk who locked horns while sparring and couldn't untangle them. The saga began Nov. 21 when a rancher in Reese River Valley spotted the two elk.By the following day, the animals were gone and the rancher assumed they had separated.A week later, according to Nevada Division of Wildlife biologist Tom Donham, the rancher was out looking for some of his cows and saw the elk again. This time, he called the wildlife department and Donham, game warden Brian Eller and Bureau of Land Management wildlife biologist Bryson Code headed out to see what they could do.When they reached Indian Valley, south of Austin, it was Nov. 29, one week after the elk were first seen. "When we arrived where the rancher had last seen them, we found them pretty quickly. They were both lying on the ground and one of them was in a very uncomfortable looking position with his head directly above the others head and his nose pointing straight up to the sky," Donham said. Eller said he wondered if they had survived their ordeal. "Once we found out they were alive, I was hoping they couldn't move and would stay where they were. That didn't happen. When they ran off, I was hoping that they could not go very far. That didn't happen either," he said. The elk may have been sparring at the outset, but Donham and Eller say they used teamwork to run for nearly a mile to evade the newcomers. "It looked like they had been doing it all their lives; serious cooperation if I've ever seen it," Donham said. After two unsuccessful attempts, Donham was able to get a tranquilizer dart into one of the elk. With one down, the other could not run, but was also partially tranquilized in order to separate the two.

To most a&p mechanics that actually care about the aircraft, have a good work ethic, and take pride in their work, washing is preventative maintenance. There doesn't need to be a FAR to say it, but for those that need guidance—washing, waxing & polishing are preventive maintenance items listed under FAR part 43, appendix A, section C, paragraphs 9 & 10, and also under FAR 1.1
Cleaning the aircraft is also in the maintenance manual.
Personally it doesn't bother me. If someone pays me 100k a year to wash a helicopter, I'll smile doing it as an expensive expensive helicopter washer.

ALTHA, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - The Calhoun County Sheriff's Office received information about a social media threat regarding a shooting at the old Altha School.
Investigators say the post was a comment and threatened to shoot demolition workers "sniper style with a rifle."
Investigators were able to identify the man who made the threat as Phillip Mayo of Altha.
According to deputies, when they arrived at Mayo's house he answered the door with a semi-automatic handgun.
Deputies arrested Mayo and took him to the Calhoun County Sheriff's Office.
During questioning, deputies say that Mayo admitted to making the threats and confirmed he had the same type of gun he referenced in his Facebook post. Deputies say he was apologetic and said he didn't plan to carry out the threat but he upset about the demolition of Altha School.
Mayo was charged with a second degree felony of written threats to kill, do bodily injury, or conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism which is a second degree felony.

PITTSBURGH, PA, Feb 1, 2017 – Engineers, from the novice to the highly experienced, can now use engineering simulation software across the entire product lifecycle with the newly released ANSYS 18. This next generation of ANSYS' industry-leading engineering simulation solutions builds upon decades of cutting-edge technology for the most complete and accurate digital prototypes across all major physics, electronics and embedded software areas. This feature-rich release expands the boundaries of simulation upfront in the development process to digital exploration as well as downstream with digital twins, expanding simulation to the operations and maintenance of products.
Today's industries are undergoing a fundamental transformation in manufacturing and product development. Trends like the Internet of Things, additive manufacturing and machine learning are merging the physical and digital worlds, creating an unprecedented pace of product innovation. The opportunity is immense, but also creates incredible levels of complexity across the entire product lifecycle.
"Emerging technologies and changing customer expectations are spurring a major transformation in the way products are manufactured and brought to market. Simulation is playing a critical role giving engineers the necessary tools to innovate and transform products across their entire lifecycle," said Ajei Gopal, president and CEO of ANSYS. "With ANSYS 18, customers can use simulation upfront in the development process to quickly evaluate changes in design and downstream of the product lifecycle to analyze real-time operational data – providing companies with game-changing data that in turn furthers innovation, operational efficiency, product quality, as well as cut costs and time to market."
Simulation is being adopted across the entire product lifecycle, empowering engineers to imagine more options – a trend ANSYS calls pervasive engineering simulation. ANSYS simulation's increasing ease of use enables more users to take advantage of simulation early in the design process. Its increased scalability empowers users to quickly evaluate thousands of choices for optimal product design. ANSYS 18 also integrates with Internet of Things platforms to simulate digital twins of assets in operation.
"Technology is growing by leaps and bounds and to stay ahead of the curve, simulation will be a critical tool to accomplish more, faster and provide deeper insight into our products. Simulation offers infinite possibilities into understanding our products and we've only just scratched the surface to modeling and simulation, said Bob Tickel, director of structural and dynamic analysis of research and technology, Cummins. "We're doing things today that could only have been imagined just a few years ago and simulation is playing a huge role. ANSYS simulation allows us to make better decisions earlier in the design process to get our design right the first time to produce the best products on time at the lowest cost for our customers."
Early design decisions lock in most of a product's costs. Through digital exploration capabilities in ANSYS 18, users can test hundreds of "what-if" concepts early in the design phase and quickly assess product performance for strength, power, thermal, pressure, flow rate, electrical or a number of other performance requirements. Through this digital exploration, designers and product engineers can identify optimal combinations while eliminating outlying designs – saving time and money.
"The telecommunications market is growing fast and ANSYS multiphysics solutions are an exceptionally productive tool with results I can trust," said Ricardo Damian, engineering director at Jet Towers Telecom. "ANSYS simulation tools are helping us to understand every aspect of the product design, like reducing wind drag, testing different materials, geometrical configurations and testing unusual and odd scenarios. But most importantly, we are learning so much more about our product physics. Thanks to ANSYS software, we are delivering a superior product to customers five times faster than other manufacturers at a competitive price."
Leading organizations are also expanding their use of simulation into operations by creating digital twins – virtual representations of individual operating assets whose performance and productivity can be improved through simulation technology. Sensors on the machine relay specific operating data — temperature, vibration, impact, loading — to the digital twin.

Old Dhaka
Old Dhaka is the most crowded and oldest part of Dhaka city, always on its toes, in a boisterous way. Chaotically beautiful!! I found that spite, that vigor for life, that chaos in Old Dhaka; the kind of chaos that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable but rather invites you to immerse in life whole heartedly. This is the kind of chaos I can romanticize, the one that vibes of spirits, of energy, joys and heartache and an amalgamation of varied sensory mediums.

Change. A winning team.
"Never change a winning team!" or: "Never change a winning business!". Why is it so hard to innovate in successful companies, what can be done against it and what is Andy Grove's approach?
"Never change a winning team!" or: "Never change a winning business!". Why is it so hard to innovate in successful companies, what can be done against it and what is Andy Grove's approach?
Fans at the Ryder Cup in Wales this weekend supported their team but also cheered for the opponents. Here's what's so good about it and how you can use the same approach in business meetings.
Former champ Takeru Kobayashi was excluded from this year's "Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest" for not signing an exclusivity agreement. What a dumb move: In competitive eating and in your business, power has shifted. The people that can really make a difference will be scarcer, more powerful and more flexible in whom they work for.
With George Steinbrenner, baseball lost a controversial, yet outstanding personality. And a very successful one, too: In the 37 years of his ownership, his investment in the New York Yankees yielded an average yearly rate of return of over 15%. Here are five lessons in entrepreneurship that can be learned from George Steinbrenner.
Basketball coaching legend John Wooden died. His definition of success was: "Piece of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you're capable". What a great inspiration: Do the best of which you're capable, don't worry about others and be patient.
In my last post, I wrote about Evgeni Plushenko and his comeback. When his wife Yana Rudkovskaya was asked about his comeback plans, she gave a clear answer: "I understood that he really missed the life of a competitor". That's something I read a lot in interviews with some of the biggest stars in sports. […]

Dr Chiara Benvenuto
Lecturer in Zoology
In 1999 I obtained my BSc/MSc in Biological Sciences at the Università degli Studi di Firenze, Florence, Italy studying the population structure, growth and shell use in the hermit crab Clibanarius erythropus. I then moved to Portugal, to work in a project on the trophic ecology of freshwater fish in a temporary stream. Back in Italy, I worked for two years in a National Park, Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi, Monte Falterona, Campigna, preparing an atlas of the biodiversity of the Park.
I obtained my PhD (2003-2008) from a dual program run by Kent State University and the University of Akron (Ohio, USA) investigating precopulatory mate guarding behaviours in clam shrimp as a case of intersexual conflict. I then spent one year (in 2010) as a post-doctoral Researcher in the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), in Sophia-Antipolis, France, looking at the effect of intra-specific hybridization on the success of invading species.
I was awarded an IRCSET (Irish Research Council for Science, Engineering & Technology) EMPOWER Fellowship for 2011-2012 and I moved to Ireland in the UCD School of Biology and Environmental Science, University College Dublin, where I performed a study on the genetic and environmental bases of sex-change plasticity in a marine fish, the white seabream Diplodus sargus. I have been appointed as a Lecturer in Zoology at the University of Salford, School of Environment & Life Sciences in January 2013.
I am currently module leader for Marine Biology, Experimental Behavioural Ecology and Placement. I contribute to a series of modules, including Animal Evolution, Tropical Ecology and Conservation (including a 2-week field trip in the Brazilian Amazon), Field Biology, Biological skills (all lab based).
I am placement tutor for Wildlife and Zoology students.
Research Interests
I consider myself primarily a behavioural ecologist and I aim to integrate behavioural ecology with ecotoxicology, population ecology, population genetics and ecological modelling. I enjoy working with aquatic organisms and I am fascinated by the evolution of animal mating systems and strategies. I strongly believe that a deep knowledge of animal behaviours and mating strategies is fundamental in any program of conservation and management of biodiversity. Also, it is becoming more and more evident that anthropogenic changes are affecting behaviours and reproduction in many organisms. I am interested in understanding the effects of contaminants and acoustic pollution in aquatic organisms and to assess what behavioural changes can be used as biomarkers of stressors.
My current main research interests are: sequential hermaphroditism (sex-change) in fish and crustaceans; behavioural eco-toxicology; colour change; patterns of sex allocation/sex ratios; sex determining mechanisms; intersexual conflicts.

WOYWW 132 - What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday
Where is the time going - the days seem to be just flying by and Christmas will be upon us in just about 12 days ... and, I am nowhere near ready ... help!!!
This morning we have a wreck of a garden to look out on ... the storm has created havoc ... and the temperature had dropped like a stone ... it's so cold in our less than winter wonderland. I just don't do winter well at all, can't wait for spring.
So what is on my desk - just more of the same actually. More of the little tree decorations in various stages of completion. They are a pleasure to make though because, as I work on each one, I think of the person it is intended for ... I suppose that makes them bespoke creations :))
Here's one I made for a very special little girl.
This is for my youngest granddaughter, Shari-Ann, hence the initials. The family have recently moved house ... I know, just weeks before Christmas is not a good time to move house ... and her new bedroom has just been decorated. It is now a Hello Kitty haven, pink, pink and more pink, so I stuck with pink :)) It's not showing up in the photograph but the roses are edged with WOW Magenta Twinkle embossing powder and the wooden based letters are also very twinkly.
The back has on it a disc of very pretty Prima paper from the Romantique stack, so it will look good seen from any direction.
I'm out to lunch to day so must get a wriggle on or I will not be ready when my Prince arrives to whisk me off :)
I hope you all have a fabulous WOYWW day - and if you don't know what this then please click on the WOYWW logo on the sidebar, you will be whisked off to the Stamping Ground, where Julia, our able host, will have a register of other WOYWWers showing their desks to the world today.
Hope to visit you all later but in the meantime, Happy Crafting,

You were on my mind when I saw the forecast, my goodness don't worry about the garden till the temperature rises a bit higher! I'm like you, I'm not good at winter, and I live down here in the soft south! Decorations are delightful, Shari-Ann will love it.

Huge sympathies with the bad weather and it looks like you are getting it today as well. Sorry I'm late getting round the WOYWW desks this week, I try to do in batches of 20 at a time but this time of year it is so busy.
Love your idea of thinking of the person as you make your individual decorations, a lovely personal touch.
Hope the weather calms down a little for you and that you have a happy and peaceful Christmas.

Hi Elizabeth. I'm just dashing round before settling down for the Strictly Final.
Your decorations are looking gorgeous. What a great idea and I bet they come out for years to come with everyone remembering the year you made them!!
How did you get on with the pud? We tried ours last week and it was quite tasty. Very different from traditional Christmas pud. I especially liked the pineapple!!
Hope you survived all the wild weather this week. We missed most of it here in Yorkshire thank goodness.
Happy WOYWW

"Rock chicks are fantastic to photograph. A rock chick is sassy, sexy and has loads of charisma- and, above all, is empowering both to herself and her audience".
Rock photographer Tony Mott
ROCK CHICKS THE HOTTEST FEMALE ROCKERS FROM THE 1960S TO NOW profiles the hottest rock'n'roll women, spanning the 1960s to current times; from Janis Joplin, Suzi Quatro and Chrissie Hynde to Courtney Love and Pink. With perceptive biographies and in-depth music critiques, author Alison Stieven-Taylor gives an up-close and personal look at the experiences, adventures and musical passions of these extraordinary and talented women whose wild vocals and on-stage antics have made them rock & roll legends.
Through personal heartaches, drug addictions, public humiliations and private nightmares these rock chicks have risen to take the music world by storm often facing great personal adversity; pressure and scrutiny that would have destroyed mere mortals.
And all went on to make some of the most memorable music the world of rock has heard.
ROCK CHICKS is a highly illustrated book which features the work of leading rock photographer Tony Mott and is designed by Aria award-winning design studio Debaser an essential rock'n'roll bible.

1920s Style Humidor
1920s ice box found at Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta. Knew immediately that I wanted to restore and transform it into a top quality humidor. The ice box has been gutted for all the old inside materials, while the outside finish was sanded down to the core and all damaged and rotten wood was replaced. The box was then isolated inside with Styrofoam and covers with plywood and Spanish cedar wood to give it the perfect cedar and cigar aroma when you open it. Shelves and trays are made from Spanish cedar as well. Contains a top quality humidifying system from Cigar Oasis. The humidor has been given a walnut stain and a few layers of Tung Oil to give it the classical dark and shiny humidor look.
This is a one of a kind piece.

Anyway, I used the 3rd Sketch for this card: AVS203. I have been wanting to make the circles from the Circle Circus set into flowers for awhile now, so I am glad I finally did! So fun! I decided to highlight the new In Colors as well. The stem though that I used for the flowers is taken from the Blooms and Stalks set by Sassafrass Lass. Each "flower" was cut out by hand and popped up on a dimensional with the largest flower getting the scallop circle punch behind it...which conveniently enough makes up that portion of the sketch! I used the Word Window punch to get the Happy Birthday sentiment just right and used some Pink Polka dot ribbon that I found at WalMart that matches Melon Mambo perfectly!
I guess the rest is fairly self-explanatory. Thanks for checking out my kind of engineering!
The Engineering Details
Stamps - Circle Circus, Birthday Whimsy (retired), Blooms n' Stalks (Sassafrass Lass); Paper - Soft Suede Textured, Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Melon Mambo; Ink - In Color Markers; Accessories - Pink Polka Dot Satin Ribbon (Offray), Scallop Edge Punch, Scallop Circle Punch, Word Window Punch, dimensionals, scissors

Even if you can't be in Anaheim for Star Wars Celebration's panel on "Episode VII: The Force Awakens," you can follow along with all the action from the convention via livestream.
The panel features "Force Awakens" director J. J. Abrams and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy discussing the future of the iconic franchise, as well as special guest appearances from cast members and engineers, and a first look at the second teaser trailer for "Episode VII."
Abrams and Kennedy's portion of the panel begins around the 43 minute mark in the video above. Also on hand for the presentation were franchise newcomers John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) and Daisy Ridley (Rey), and original trilogy stars Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels, who all shared their gratitude and enthusiasm for the fans and the franchise as a whole. Abrams also shared some new details about some of the landscapes and physical effects fans can expect to see, before bringing out R2-D2 and new droid BB8, whose ball-like design was achieved with practical effects instead of CGI.


text: Jillian Tamaki is an award-winning Toronto-based cartoonist who has established herself as one of the most innovative artists in Canada. In her witty and thought-provoking new book, Boundless, a collection of nine short comics, Tamaki brings themes of belonging, isolation, heartbreak, and self-image front and centre. Speaking with Tom Power, Tamaki gives insight into the inner workings of a cartoonist's mind, including why cartoonists have so many web browser tabs open.


text: The details are give personality when furnishing a room. There are living rooms which might look a tad sterile; the sofa, TV and dining table… but what happens when we add this cupboard with sliding doors in Foro Reflex glass and lovely old bronze interior to the composition? The room is simply transformed, becoming elegant and sophisticated. It even gives you that extra space for storage. We could even add an accessorizing table in the same finishes, with central space for the TV. Here we are creating style and continuity in a room, adding harmony, showing our character and personality.

Glasgow Women's Library is a haven for women writers and readers in Scotland. Scotland's literary heritage has been passed from father to son, from Burns to Hogg and Stevenson, to Kelman and Gray. In this new age dominated by so much excellence in women's writing, when women are being published internationally, to great acclaim and to great popularity, we want to celebrate a new canon.
In that spirit, the festival is named for the writer, Catherine Carswell, and her ground-breaking 1920 novel. Because in spite of women writers' achievements, there are still doors to be opened. And so we will commemorate those literary mothers of the past as we celebrate the daughters of the present.
Open the Door is intended not to be just a new literary festival that puts women to the fore, but also the first of a new kind of format, where the more formal audience and speaker setting is replaced by a convivial, memorable shared experience.
Paying it Forward
We want to ensure that as many women as possible can benefit from this unique literary event and so we are inviting donations to our Pay it Forward scheme. The idea behind the scheme is simple: if you donate to the Pay it Forward fund, you'll be supporting those who currently can't afford the ticket price. The fund will enable us to offer free tickets to community members and groups who would not otherwise be able to attend, and also help us support writers involved in Open the Door. So if you can, please consider contributing to the Pay it Forward fund by selecting the Pay it Forward donation on either of our Open the Door events.

Users and their needs
- ground handler
- air cargo companies
- airlines
- airports
- manufacturers of ULD and ULD handling systems
Main supporters and partners :
Service/ system concept
STAP ULD-Watcher system uses positioning data from satellite and from local systems. It's combining transponder data from the aircraft with other local available environment data from the airport. The core system which will be mounted in the ULD uses different sensors (temperature, moisture, shock, magnetic fields, radar etc.) for monitoring the ULD internally. A patented switching on/off technology which is available at STAP fulfils the technical aspects of the systems. Selecting the best of available communication structures and optimized energy consumption with energy harvesting technologies will round up the system and enables a universal use in all airports, worldwide.
Schematics of the STAP ULD-Watcher
Space Added Value
Current Status
STAP has nearly reached the midterm of the study. User requirements and system definition have been finalized as well as workshops with potential customers have been held in the whole Europe. Actually the use cases and in combination the follow up business cases are under definition and some other workshops will be organized with partners in Europe.
