Heading for London, Vilnius and Vienna
This week I am travelling to London England, which I will use as my base to attend conferences in Vilnius, Lithuania and Vienna, Austria. In Vilnius I am the opening speaker at the International Forum on the Future of Europe. The conference forms part of a series of meetings that began on July 1 when Lithuania assumed the Presidency of the Council of the European Union for a six-month term. The Council of the European Union (not to be confused with the European Council!) is analogous to the upper house of a bicameral legislature such as the Senate in the USA, the Bundesrat in Germany or the House of Lords in the United Kingdom. In the European Union the lower chamber is the European Parliament. These are only two of seven EU's institutions, which to an outsider is an organizational structure of byzantine complexity!
The actual title of the Vilnius conference is "Sustainable Development and Harmonious Society: Future Visions and Today's Actions" and the title of my presentation is "European Renewal and the Ecology of Sustainability". Next week I will report on the conference and how the presentation went down.
In Vienna I will be attending the 5th Annual Drucker Forum. Last year the essay I entered in the Drucker Global Essay Challenge won a top prize and I was invited to attend as a guest. It was an exhilarating experience and this year I am returning for more. The forum attracts top speakers and I will be participating as a panelist on the topic of "Project Management, Systems Thinking and Complexity". I will report on the conference in future blogs.
I am in and out of London over the next two weeks and apart from some meetings I have set up I will also be attending "An evening with Roger Martin" put on by the Strategic Management Forum on November 12. It promises to be an exciting session that will take place in two distinctive venues of the kind that only cities like London can provide. I will report on it too in a future blog.This entry was posted in General and tagged 40, Drucker Forum, European Union, Future Europe, Lithuania, renewal, Roger Martin, sustainability, Vienna, Vilnius.

Finding student accommodation in Caen
Caen is a French city located in Normandy. More than 100,000 people live in the region of Caen. 30% of this population are students since there are about 30 000 students who come to be trained in the schools and universities of the agglomeration. Students have the choice between a business school with EM Normandy, an engineering school with ENSICAEN or a faculty with the University of Normandy. 10% of Caen students are international exchange students. For these French and international students, it is imperative to find their student accommodation in Caen to study under the best conditions. Some prefer Caen's city centre and opt for student accommodation from private individuals who offer rentals or shared accommodation. Others favour safety, proximity to their school/university or conviviality, and go for student residences in Caen. Studapart is there to provide them with the best solution: the one best suited to their desires and needs. We offer thousands of offers from individuals, real estate agencies and student residences. Some of these can be booked completely online.

1000 Beasts
County Cork
1000 Beasts delivers a masterclass in alt-pop production in releasing brand new garage-influenced stomper Trust Me. Cork-native multi-instrumentalist and producer Cian Sweeney is 1000 Beasts; an exciting and determined collaborative effort that sees each of Sweeney's new releases under pseudonym 1000 Beasts feature a different vocalist with every release (the 'beasts' behind the name).
Following on from the success of his summer release Every Line & Curve (feat. Jacob Henley), Trust Me feat. Marybeth is the latest offering from 1000 Beasts. Trust Me comes on the back of notable rotation for the Cork man on both RTÉ 2FM and BBC Radio 1 and an impressive 2018 Irish festival circuit.
With every 1000 Beasts offering, this artist further proves the power of collaboration in hit-making and cements the rise of 1000 Beasts as an artist whose star is firmly on the ascendent.
- Nialler9's new Artists to love 2018
- 2FM Single of the Week (January 15th 2018 - Lord)
- New Music Friday UK playlisted on Spotify
- New Pop Revolution playlisted on Spotify
- Extensive national radio coverage
Press Quotes
The Last Mixed Tape
1000 Beasts current offering has wide-open electro sound that merges R&B with synth-pop to deliver a wholly satisfying listen from beginning to end.
A track that has all the weight to match the ambition, 'Lord (It's Ok)' aims high with its production and ends up providing some truly beautiful sonic landscapes along the way.
Nialler9 (18 to watch in 2018)
With impressive releases so far we are certainly looking forward to what comes next.
Nialler9 (Lord)
1000 Beasts impresses with the booming electronic pop of 'Lord (It's OK)'
Lacing the single with electronic grooves and some smouldering soul and rn'b pop sounds, it's a highly addictive and laid-back affair.
Absolute jam.
This is great, some electronic R&B chillout vibe to the track, a bit like Bonobo's softer side.
1000 Beasts is less a classical project and more of an intriguing electro-pop one with the idea being that each song in the series will feature a different vocalist.
One of the most inventive and exciting acts to come out of Cork recently, ambient electronic act 1000 Beasts released his single 'Got This Feeling' last week which featured on our last Irish playlist. The track features pop solo act Ryan O'Shaughnessy, and the two styles are blended together sublimely, on first listen you will enjoy the song, and with every listen after that you'll find yourself more and more reaching for it. The chorus is both musically and vocally invigorating, with everything in the lead up a proper tease toward heightened enjoyment.
A tasty track.
Unexpected collaborations are often the best kind
Sonically, it goes from a chill Chet Faker to more of a Bonobo inspired release.

Mary Baldwin: Stepping Boldly Into The Future
Celebrating a Culture of Leadership, Innovation, and Excellence
Today, Mary Baldwin is a small, co-educational university with a residential women's college experience at its core (the Mary Baldwin College for Women). But that college is now part of an institution with coeducational units -- a business school, a health sciences college and a new accelerated University College focused on helping men and women earn bachelor's degrees in three years.
"We aspire to bring to prominence the synergistic advantages of our deliberately small university that serves the entire spectrum of higher education in age, religion, and ethnicity through a series of inclusive, innovative programs that no one else ever dreamed of, let alone brought into existence and raised to excellence as Mary Baldwin has done."
– Dr. Pamela Fox, President
MBU combines a high-quality liberal arts education with professional training. With approximately 1,000 undergraduate students, it is a highly diverse campus where international and students of color hold elected and appointed leadership positions.
Key dates:
- The 1970s brought one of the largest programmatic changes in decades with the creation of the Adult Degree Program, which provided an opportunity for women and men to earn a college degree later in life. The university then created Virginia's first distance learning program, known today as Baldwin Online.
- MBU created an early admittance program for gifted young women through the Program for the Exceptionally Gifted (PEG) and an innovative leadership program known as Virginia Women's Institute for Leadership (VWIL), which is the nation's only all-female corps of cadets.
- In 2001, Mary Baldwin created the MLitt/MFA graduate program in Shakespeare and Performance, which was founded in partnership with Staunton's American Shakespeare Center – home of the Blackfriars Playhouse in downtown Staunton.
- The Heifetz International Music Institute relocated to the Mary Baldwin campus in 2012. This unique partnership attracts outstanding classically trained string players from around the world to experience the Institute's cross-disciplinary Performance and Communication Training program during the summer months.
- In 2014, Mary Baldwin opened the Murphy Deming College of Health Sciences, leading the institution toward issuing its first doctoral degrees in physical therapy and occupational therapy, and offering in addition a master of physician assistant studies and a bachelor's degree in nursing. Along with the programmatic expansion, Mary Baldwin built a state-of-the-art facility in the region's medical corridor in Fishersville.
- In 2016, the Mary Baldwin Board of Trustees voted to change the name of the institution once again, this time to Mary Baldwin University, which better describes the expansive institution that it has become. At the same time MBU announced its new name, it unveiled three new initiatives: a new master of business administration, an online master of healthcare administration, and four focused, fast-track undergraduate programs in each of MBU's four colleges: arts and sciences, business and professional studies, education, and health sciences.
For 175 years, Mary Baldwin's story has been a chronicle of leaning in. Today's university is an exceptionally diverse institution with a variety of undergraduate and graduate programs for both women and men in locations throughout Virginia.
Satellite campuses and regional centers are located in Fishersville, Charlottesville, Emporia, Glenns, Kilmarnock, Richmond, Roanoke, South Boston, South Hill, Staunton, Warsaw, Weyers Cave, and Williamsburg.

He gave me hints to find the hidden present--he had kept me away from the door when it was delivered earlier in the week--and then we hung it in our living room beside our secretary:
Pieter Paul Rubens' version of Holbein's portrait--which is itself a great work of character and introspection--depicts More as a little more vulnerable. More is not wearing his Collar of Esses with the Tudor Rose nor is he set against such a rich background as in Holbein's original. According to the Museo del Prado:
Dame Alice More wrote to Henry VIII during the Christmas of 1534, begging Henry to be merciful to her husband, herself, and Thomas's son John. Since Thomas More had been attainted a traitor, all his assets were forfeit to the Crown; Alice was afraid that she and John would be left without resources. Alice also asked Henry to have mercy on her husband because he was ill ("great continual sickness of body and heaviness of heart"). She asked Henry to release her Thomas More to her care and declared herself to be Henry's beadswoman, praying for him constantly.

Lonkaan Séen!
We didn't have to go far down the dusty, red road to hear the sound of my father's name, the three familiar syllables that rolled so easily off of Gambian tongues. His Wolof name always persisted in sounding strange to me; the first part sounded like an insult ("lunkhead" or something), and the last part always reminded me of a recently vanquished Iraqi dictator.
Lonkaan Séen, ah, Lonkaan Séen, do you have peace?
Ah, Modu Bah, peace only…
I had heard these greetings at least a million times. My mind easily wandered, like the baby goats that fought for dominance over the termite mound beside the road, the distraction distancing them from their mother in her dogged search for green things in the sub-Saharan topsoil. I tried to surreptitiously scratch the tight fastening of my bright-colored cotton skirt around my waist. The multiple layers of fabric caught and held the heat as effectively as the insulating fiberglass we'd put on our house's drop-ceiling last year—it felt just about as comfortable, too.
The ritual greetings were over, and part of the roadside conversation caught my attention, as it seemed to concern me. I couldn't recognize many—or any—of the words, but both men would glance at me from time to time, and their tone seemed to take on that bantering lilt characteristic of good friends teasing each other… I tried to scratch my skirt fastenings when both weren't looking.
A sudden jolt of fear shot adrenaline through my body, and I looked down at my skirt as quickly as I dared, suppressing horror… But no, it was tied the right direction. I let out my breath slowly; the rush had made me all cold at first, but as soon as the cold went away the heat returned in full force. Bother it all.
One time, when I was about eight (I think), my mother and I had made it a long ways down this same road—a little farther than where we stood now, perhaps—before she'd realized that I'd tied my skirt the wrong way (right: the skirt wraps counter-clockwise around your waist; wrong: well, it wraps the other way… big deal?), and we had to fix it in an abandoned building by the side of the road. At age eight, I was quite worried that some annoying Gambian boys would see us and bug us. My mom was less worried about the annoying boys; the village would have had a good laugh at our expense, had I trotted through town wearing my skirt the wrong direction. Shudder.
But I had learned my lesson, and today my skirt—and my Gambian pride—seemed to be in order, even resisting the playful prodding of the desert winds in their attempts to whisk it immodestly this way and that.
And at last the conversation was wrapping up. I was beginning to understand words again, the typical leave-taking phrases and sounds… Each did the other the proper honors, and added the extra verbal phrases and physical handshakes that told each other and the community that they were good friends, then my father and I went on our way. Finally, thought my twelve-year-old mind.
As we resumed walking, my dad turned his head toward me with a small grin. "He asked me if he could marry you," he said.
I felt my eyebrows go up. "He did? What did you say?"
"Well, I told him that when you're old enough to understand what he's saying, and when you say 'yes,' then maybe I'll consider it."
My mind was reeling from the close call that I'd unwittingly avoided, but I still managed to register my father's use of the cultural convention—Wolof people never said an outright "no" in response to a question, they dodged around with statements like "maybe later," or "some other time."
"They marry girls your age," my dad went on, "even the old men. And most of the time it's their second or third wife."
I nodded; I was friends with a few of those individuals, young girls whose "marriage" to men of wealth and status typically became indentured servitude.
I suppose, I thought as we walked along, I am a part of this African culture. I've memorized it, I've learned it, and in small ways I've come to call it my own. Yes, perhaps I am even proud of it, or at least, I'm proud of the small pieces of me that are irrefutably Gambian, the pieces that no amount of time in America or any other country will completely purge from my memory or my identity.
I glanced over my shoulder to glimpse the satin, royal-blue back of 50-year-old Modu Bah's kahftan. Perhaps pieces of me were Gambian forever… But this road's conversation had reminded me that there were parts of this country that I could do without.
And, with that thought, I found myself holding on to a different sort of pride, a pride attached with dreams. One day perhaps, I would fall in love—with a location, a career, a soulmate, a dream. America, the world of my future dreams, would open its arms to receive my individuality, and I would embrace my birth country with that different sort of pride.
Pride. Maybe that was it. I was made up of lots of little pieces of pride, stuck together like a jigsaw puzzle, with patterns and designs drawn by hands not my own.
I scuffed the dirt of the red road, my flip-flop dislodging a lumpy rock and sending it bouncing along the path in front of me. And I secretly prayed that God liked doing puzzles.

CONROE, Texas — Nearly two years ago, a Conroe family adopted a 12-year-old girl with down syndrome from Bulgaria.
Sevy Eicher, who is now 14 years old, is also non verbal. However, her art speaks volumes. Sevy's parents discovered she had an incredible talent for art.
"She started painting and just blew us away," her mom Lisa said.
Sevy now has her own studio as well as her own way of doing things, the mother said.
"She doesn't like any suggestions, shes completely self taught," Lisa added. "She just really seems to know what she's doing and she has a vision for each piece."
Lisa said Sevy's art and creative ability comes naturally.
As Sevy's passion for art grew, her family decided to create an Instagram account, Sevy Marie Eicher, to show off her art work. Sevy and her family woke up to over 10,000 followers overnight.
"It wasn't just followers who followed our family, it was artist who were sharing her work and a lot of the art community," Lisa said.
Once people started asking to purchase her work, Lisa and her husband Joey thought about the bigger picture.
"So I started thinking about how this could be huge for her future and that she could have some sort of independence and make a career for herself," Lisa said.
Sevy's passion for art led the Eicher family to develop a nonprofit called Sandal Gap Studio. The organization's goal goes beyond art and is all about inclusion.
"For us it's really about showing the world that people with all abilities have worth," Lisa said.
To see more of her art work or to purchase a piece visit Sevy Marie Art Shop.

Gene manipulation strategies
Genetic strategies for genome manipulation
A number of methods have been developed to introduce genetic modifications into animals of research. Of those methods, virally mediated genetic modification is the only one that has been successfully utilized in the zebra finch. Viral-mediated gene delivery uses the natural ability of viruses to introduce genetic material into cells. The virus can be engineered to carry genetic material that can serve a number of different purposes. For instance, a gene encoding a fluorescent protein to image the morphology of neurons, a mutant human gene to create an animal model of a disease, an RNAi construct to reduce expression levels of an endogenous gene, or a channel to electrically activate or silence a specific neuronal cell population of interest. The introduction of this genetic material can be restricted to a population of cells by locally injecting the virus into particular brain regions, or more broadly, by targeting germ cells that will give rise to progeny carrying the transgene in every cell of the body (i.e. germline transgenics).
Germline Transgenics
The virus used for producing germline transgenics is a lentivirus, a type of retrovirus capable of infecting both dividing and non-dividing cells. In addition, unlike other retroviruses, it escapes transcriptional silencing by host cell defense mechanisms. The virus can carry up to 10 kb of genetic material, so this must be taken into account when considering introducing genes that are quite large. The method used to generate transgenic zebra finches involves injecting the virus into the early embryo to target precursors to the germ cells. Ideally, the earlier the injection the better. However access to the embryo for the first 24 hrs after fertilization (which occurs intra-utero) is highly limited. As a result, injections are made after the egg is laid when the embryo is made up of tens of thousands of cells. At this time, the embryo is essentially a disc of cells with a diameter of about 0.5 mm and 1-2 cell layers thick. It is estimated that precursors to the germ cells number between 50-100 and are localized to the central portion of the disc. Thus, viral injections are targeted to this region.
Key issues/observations/comments regarding this procedure:
1) For unknown reasons, the extent of cellular infection in zebra finch embryos is substantially less than what has been observed in chicken and quail. This makes the infection of germline precursor cells less efficient. We think that one problem associated with this is viral access to cells. In quail and chickens, a single penetration/injection of the virus is sufficient to infect many cells. However, in the zebra finch multiple penetrations/injections are required to label a sufficient number of cells, suggesting a barrier of some sort restricting the virus's diffusion and/or ability to directly contact cells. Of course, there are many steps involved in the infection process and these must also be considered when attempting to explain the differences observed.
2) In addition to requiring multiple penetrations/injections, it is also necessary that the viral titer be quite high. Viral titer is determined using HEK 293T cells and I would not use anything less than 3x106TU/ul. On the other hand, you should determine this empirically by injecting embryos, incubating them for about a week and then evaluating the extent of the infection. Importantly, we have found that different batches of high titer virus can give significantly different levels of infection. Thus, making several batches and comparing them is also recommended.
3) Finally, and unfortunately, this method is relatively inefficient for generating germline transgenic zebra finches. Given the importance of this technology to the field, it is imperative that improvements and/or alternative methods be developed. For those interested, it would be helpful to discuss this issue to see how we might overcome this limitation.
4) If you have any questions / suggestions please offer them. This way we can add and/or modify this section with information that we have not considered.

Lentiviral transgenics introduce genes randomly in the genome. Stem cells allow targeted genome integration, with recombinant knock out of genes of interest. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are once differentiated cells that have been re-programmed to an embryonic stem cell-like state, providing a powerful platform for biology and medicine. We have been working for the past two years (2009-2011) to generate iPSC of songbirds. We have been able to generate iPSC of zebra finches and chicken, and have so far gotten the chicken cells to form chimeric embryos.

Don't let our name fool you. At WholePerson Therapeutics, we don't just focus on occupational therapy and chronic disease management. We also provide physical health & wellness services to help you enrich and enhance the quality of your life. Our services include:
Sleep Therapy
The foundation of engagement in daily life and optimal professional performance is a good night's sleep. Our approach to sleep therapy has helped many discover consistently proper rest. Our focus begins with establishing a healthy sleep hygiene routine.
Physical Health Promotion
The role health promotion plays in occupational therapy is simple but essential. It's the promotion of habits and routines that promote positive and healthy behaviors — improving overall health and wellness. These are specific to the needs of clients, and they can encompass everything to include nutrition intake, weight management, stress reduction techniques and massages.
Health & Wellness
- Private sessions with board certified therapist
- Physical rehabilitation
- Full-body massages: Reflexology, Shiatsu, Cupping…
- Weight management
- Nutrition management
- Aromatherapy
- Chair massages
- Physical fitness
- Guided meditation addressing: Anxiety, anger, stress, relaxation
- Access to a variety of classes including Yoga, Tai Chi, wine tasting
- Social events & gatherings
Chronic Pain Management
We help eliminate chronic pain by treating the source rather than the symptom. Your body is a machine that squeaks when there is a disruption in the system. This squeak presents as pain, stiffness, difficulty moving. The cause of the squeak ranges from nutrition imbalance to decreased muscle strength. We help you identify the disruption and repair it for a better quality of life.
Spiritual Health and Science
There is very real scientific evidence showing that people who regularly participate in religious or spiritual services are healthier and have superior healing capabilities. Our holistic approach to personal care integrates spiritual health with emotional, mental and physical care.
Essential Oil Therapy
Take a deep breath. Essential oils were used to combat many ailments during biblical times. Today lesser grade of essential oils continues to be used to fragrance perfumes, beauty regiments, provide softness and beautiful smell to detergents and create a tranquil environment. At WholePerson our therapy grade essential oils are used to complement modern treatments for pain, muscle discomfort, relaxation, Health and well-being. On your visit ask for an essential oil consult.

Sciatica and the Epidural: Part Three
The Difference Between Corticosteroids and Anabolic Steroids
As I reported in my last post on Sciatica and Epidural Injections, I've received a number of emails asking some very well thought-out questions, expressing opinions (both pro and con) and generally requesting more information on the subject.
Suffice it to say there seems to be a great deal of interest in this subject but still a little misunderstanding regarding steroids and their therapeutic purpose. Naturally, this could potentially lead to fear, disappointment, and less than ideal outcomes. Therefore, I think it's important that we address the following questions:
But Aren't Steroids Evil?
Hmmm… evil. That's a good question. I don't know if chemical compounds have character flaws, but I'm sure if they did evil would be right up there at the top (along with my other two favorites, gluttony and sloth).
And speaking of individual shortcomings, did you know that Vitamin D is a steroid? (Oh, the shame of it… and he was always so well behaved as a nutrient.)
By the way, as you can probably guess, no one actually came right out and asked me if steroids were evil. I sort of made that one up because it reflected the underlying tone of some of the correspondence I've received.
The fact of the matter is, Vitamin D is a steroid and so are a number of other familiar substances we come in contact with daily including cholesterol. (I'm tempted to make a "good and bad" cholesterol joke, but I'll spare you.)
The point of all this is to illustrate that the term steroid is simply the name given for an entire class of compounds with a similar chemical structure. Many of these compounds are produced naturally in our own bodies (like the hormones estrogen and testosterone) and are really just a common part of everyday life.
There is no reason to fear them simply because they are classified as steroids. Which brings us to the next question:
What's the Difference Between Corticosteroids and Anabolic Steroids?
This whole cloud of fear that hangs over the subject of steroids seems to be fueled in part by all of the negative press surrounding one specific class of steroids. We hear the word steroid and we automatically associated it with anabolic steroids.
This results in questions like…
- Won't steroids cause me to bulk up?
- Will I start to grow facial hair?
- Don't steroids cause hormonal changes?
- What about birth defects?
Without question, the biggest misunderstanding with epidural injections is confusing them with anabolic steroids Anabolic steroids are very different from the corticosteroids used to fight inflammation.
Anabolic steroids are synthetic male sex hormones designed to promote muscle growth. Corticosteroids are not sex hormones and they don't stimulate muscle growth, enhance athletic performance or produce secondary male characteristics.
So you don't have to worry about bulking up or altering your hormonal balance.
Isn't This Just Treating The Symptoms?
Yes, this is a symptomatic approach to treating the problem. You are not treating the real underlying cause of the nerve damage.
As I've said all throughout this series, the purpose of the injections are so you can proceed with a good rehabilitation program. They aren't meant to act as a cure. You still have to do the work if you want to correct the problem.
It is important to understand that the injection is just a temporary tool you can use to buy yourself a little time.
The All-Natural Question
Yes, I must admit, that the corticosteroids your doctor will use in the shots are artificially created in a laboratory. They have to be in order to get a precise controlled dosage that can be delivered right to the spot where it's needed.
So while they are closely related to the natural cortisol produced by the adrenal gland, they are not exactly the same thing.
Even if there were a natural source of these anti-inflammatory steroids — because of the risks involved with taking this medicine — it would not be wise to simply start taking them in a random unknown dosage.
This is one of those times when the treatment is best left in the hands of medical science.
In the next installment, we'll take a closer look at the risks involved with epidural steroid injections. So stay tuned.
In the mean time, if you're still concerned about what impact the procedure would have on your long-term health, keep in mind that we're talking a total of six days on the oral steroids and only three injections.
You probably did more damage that one weekend in college. (You know the one.)

Neck Pain that Radiates
Mmmm, soothing…
Looks like Kittums is feeling no pain… neck or otherwise.
I received a rather lengthy email this week from a reader who asked a number of really good questions about neck pain, his symptoms and various treatment options. It would take too long to attempt to address them all in a single post so I've decided to just focus on one of them this time. I'll cover the rest in future posts.

Expert Paintless Dent Repair in Kansas City, MO
Reed Buick GMC offers paintless dent repair service at our facility in Kansas City, MO. Our technicians have helped countless customers get dents and dings out for good. Not all damage to a vehicle will qualify for this type of repair work, but many times minor cosmetic damage to a car or truck can be fixed quickly and easily by our expert staff.
Paintless dent repair is as much an art as it is a science, as the repairperson must determine how to work the metal in each specific situation to eliminate the underlying issue. The "paintless" in the description simply means that it is a repair that can be made without adding the additional expense of touching up the paint job. This lowers the cost while still providing a solution to get rid of the ding or dent in the vehicle.
How paintless dent removal works
At Reed Buick GMC we have invested in the equipment and staff needed to handle paintless dent repairs because we want to offer our customers excellent services at a reasonable cost whenever possible. With this combination of specific tools and a trained crew, we are able to fix many dents and dings by working the metal from the inside out. The process may require time to remove panels covering the dent from the backside, but often it is an easier, more direct fix. These factors depend on things such as the extent of the damage, the make and model of the vehicle, and the location of the dent itself.
Handling a dent repair this way allows us to smooth out the dented material without creating any new damage to the paint or the exterior of the vehicle. The technique itself requires a considerable amount of skill, as things such as the angle of the metal and the original shape of the panel must be taken into account during the procedure. With this technique, no filler or bonding material is required! All of the work is done by carefully working the material back into its original shape.
Find out more about paintless dent removal
The skilled team at Reed Buick GMC will evaluate your car or truck to see whether we can fix it from the inside, or if the paint is damaged and needs to be touched up as well. We can often address issues created by minor dings, hail damage, and even some larger dents and lines on the vehicle with our paintless dent removal process.
Simply contact our service center to schedule an estimate, or call to find out more information about what is involved in this specific type of dent repair. Each car or truck is different, and there are many types of damage that can occur. We will need to examine your vehicle at our facility in order to determine if paintless dent removal is possible in your unique situation. Contact us today for an appointment.Contact us for paintless dent removal services!

Hi all,
At the RUGSyd meetings in Oct & Nov 2012 we had a discussion about the new Revit v2013 materials setup, and realised that most of us will need to reorganise our materials libraries to suit it. No one seemed to know of a standard naming convention for Revit materials – we've looked at the US system "Masterformat"; ANZRS does not yet include materials. So we thought it would be useful to try to come up with a standard system that we might use in Australia (and NZ?).
The discussion then led to the naming conventions within ANZRS, and we realised that was just a starting point that we all need to build on (defined list of names in ANZRS are not comprehensive). However, we don't want to each go off creating our own additional subcategories and shared parameters - even if they are compliant with the ANZRS naming convention, they'll most likely be different.
So I am proposing that whoever is interested could start collaborating on an agreed materials naming convention, and extending the ANZRS list of subcategories & shared parameters.
So, I am calling for expressions of interest to be involved – I will try to coordinate this overall effort, but will need at least one person to be in charge of each of the following 3 topics, as well as participants in 3 separate discussions:
1. Revit Materials naming convention
2. Subcategory naming – additions to the ANZRS list
3. Shared Parameters naming – additions to the ANZRS list
What is required:
• Please let me know if you would like to lead one of the 3 discussions (& coordinate results);
• Please let me know if you would like to be involved in any of the 3 discussions (more than 1 is ok);
• Please list the discipline you are interested in – Architecture, Structures, MEP (we may need to separate some of the discussions for 2 & 3);
• Maybe need a volunteer to set up appropriate web forum(s) if required;
If you want to help or be involved, please respond here or send me a direct message.

As a retiree and a member of AARP, I am writing in defense of Maine's seniors who are now threatened by Congress in its attempt to resolve the debt ceiling crisis.
There are proposals being considered by Congress that would make harmful cuts to Medicare and Social Security as part of a deal to raise the nation's debt ceiling.
These proposals would place arbitrary limits on federal spending, requiring cuts that could dramatically increase health care costs for today's seniors, threaten their access to doctors, hospitals and nursing homes and reduce the benefit checks they rely on to pay their bills.
Instead of going after those on Medicare and Social Security, Congress should be cutting tax loopholes and special interest tax breaks for companies that make billions of dollars in profits but pay little or no taxes. It is estimated that all tax breaks and loopholes cost the federal government roughly $1 trillion each year.
For example, oil companies are enjoying special tax deductions, preferences and credits that will add up to billions over the coming decade. These companies are making record profits. Does it make sense to hurt America's seniors when these companies are doing so well at everybody's expense?
And does it make any sense for Congress to cut Medicare and Social Security when Congress doles out more than $200 million in tobacco subsidies?
Of course, Congress has to make some tough decisions to address our large and growing debt. But those decisions should not hurt today's seniors and future retirees.
Congress should go after wasteful government spending and entitlement programs — and do it first.

Something must be done to "save" Social Security and Medicare. Taxpayers just can't pay enough to continue things the way they are. There are too many baby boomers compared the number of children being born.
Charles Hildreth's letter was right on about cutting politicians' Rolls-Royce medical benefits, but let me go further.
Means-testing has been bandied about. I know we all paid in with the promise that we'd get it back, but obviously, that isn't going to work. I don't mind means-testing as long as they test by lifetime income, not by what's left at retirement.
My husband and I have saved sacrificially, carefully and responsibly. We have not bought expensive toys or taken expensive trips. Why should we receive less than someone who earned as much, but spent instead of saving? Don't penalize responsibility.
Means-test all retired and retiring senators, congressmen, presidents, and other politicians by the same standard as the rest of us. Why should they get full retirement at our expense? Let them save for it like the rest of us.
After all, they created the problem. We didn't create these programs and define these entitlements, they did it for us at our own expense, not theirs. We're the ones who pay for ours and for theirs. In their "generosity," they reach into our pockets and give to us, and give to themselves much more.
What about raising taxes a little? Watch out. Hasn't anyone figured out that if they just keep raising taxes a little, sooner than you think, they will be taking everything and just doling it back to us as they see fit. Ever read Animal Farm? Are you sure that politicians ever know better what to do with our money than those to whom it belongs?

Israel should be confronted both at home and abroad
Your May 20 issue had an Associated Press report on President Obama's recent speech saying he supports having Palestine borders based on those in place before Israel began its occupation in 1967.
To my surprise, the report also said Israel's occupation has remained immune to popular uprisings and drives for freedom that have swept much of the region.
Quoting from an Associated Press report, on May 16 "Arab protestors march on Israeli borders the first time protests that have swept the Arab world have been aimed at Israel." Since throngs of protest marchers breached Israel's borders from all sides, it's false to claim that state is immunized against getting overthrown.
In his speech Obama also warned Palestinians not to seek statehood through voting by the United Nations in September. He and cohorts like the American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee can keep the United States government truckling to Israel, but it will still be a thrill to hear the rest of the world cheer, "Viva Palestine!" loud and clear.

Don't pay attention when false prophets predict Rapture
Recently we were supposed to see the Rapture — again. Harold Camping, a radio "pastor," assured us Jesus would be whisking us all away on May 21, and he was wrong. Surprise!
Perhaps Camping, 89, should be kept safe and comfortable in a home for aged false prophets rather than allowed in a radio studio. If that sounds harsh, read what Deuteronomy 13 requires of false prophets. Camping, along with many other false prophets on TV and radio, should breathe a sigh of relief that we are no longer under Old Testament law.
But perhaps, even in the era of grace, someone should at least go into his radio studio and turn over a few tables. After all, "What would Jesus do?" More realistically, how about a heresy trial? Seriously. Jesus warned very harshly about false prophets, and we can't keep pretending that they're no big deal.
Most of all, I'm frustrated by fellow believers who are so lacking in Biblical knowledge that they believe this date-setting nonsense so readily. I want to apologize for the horrible example that Camping and others set for what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
Ironically, Jesus was probably thinking ahead to Camping when he said, "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside are ravenous wolves."

If you're in the states and looking to quit dipping, this may be your go to. It doesn't taste bad at all provided you're into mint. It does, however, get really soggy really fast. The nicotine hit is great and, if you're looking for a zyn replacement that doesn't suck, this is a great start.

Were You Or Someone You Know Affected By The May 27th Flood?
Two years later we find our neighbors and their communities facing challenging circumstances because of the flooding caused during the May 27th storm.
As time has passed I have had the opportunity to get out in the community and have realized the damage was far more extensive to our community than I could have imagined.
In Remembrance Of Baltimore County Executive Kevin Kamenetz
Four years ago when I made the decision to run for the House of Delegates, Senator Delores Kelley reached out to the County Executive, Kevin Kamenetz, and urged him to support my run for office. The County Executive and I had a couple of meetings where we discovered that we had a few things in common. Kevin and I were both attorneys. We both supported our Baltimore Orioles. And we both were alumni of Johns Hopkins University. I think it was this last commonality that we bonded over. Well, Kevin ultimately supported my campaign, and I was successful. That morning when I was sworn in, he offered his congratulations to me and took a moment to pose for a photo with Myra and our girls.
Participating In Electoral Politics Must Not Be Taken For Granted
Elections are the bedrock of our political system. Now that the legislative session is over, I would like to turn my attention to the upcoming primary which is set for June 26, 2018. This session, the General Assembly passed two bills which will change the paradigm for voting in this state.
Spotlight On House Bill 700: Fixing Maryland's Hate Crime Statute
Anyone that knows me, knows that I will sometimes look to song to draw upon which capture life. I could not help but to think about Abel Meeropol's poem, sung and performed by Billie Holliday. The lyrics are:
Southern trees bear strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees
Pastoral scene of the gallant south
The bulging eyes and the twisted mouth
Scent of magnolias, sweet and fresh
Then the sudden smell of burning flesh
Here is fruit for the crows to pluck
For the rain to gather, for the wind to suck
For the sun to rot, for the trees to drop
Here is a strange and bitter crop
Spotlight On House Bill 319: Why I'm Fighting For Its Passage
One of the best parts about representing the people of the district is being able to work with them to address a problem, whether it is legislatively or otherwise. This summer, my constituent, Mr. Phillips, reached out to me regarding a situation he experienced which he felt was unfair. After reading his email I too felt it was an issue that needed to be addressed. According to Mr. Phillips, his son has had tardiness and attendance problems since he was a sophomore. There were days that Mr. Phillips would drop his son off outside the front door and watch him walk into the building, only later to receive a message from the school that his son was not in attendance. Mr. Phillips contacted the school about giving him consequences for his actions. All it offered was detention, and when his son ignored it, no further disciplinary actions were taken in holding his son responsible for his lack of attendance.

From meeting many HR professionals at the HR Director's Summit and during my workshop, it was clear that more needs to be done by HR. Busy doing the day-to-day, future planning often takes a backseat. We HR professionals need to innovate with the landscape, or risk losing that strategic seat. Here's a roundup of what we unearthed in the workshop.
The pace of change in the workplace is speeding up. Every week we are faced with new software that pressures businesses into re-evaluating their strategy to stay competitive. Innovation in technology may naturally fall under the remit of IT, but it can impact the way an organisation runs, influence the way staff work and potentially lead to a business restructuring – all of which have HR implications. Accommodating and anticipating these changes will only happen if HR has an eye on the future.
Flexibility and agility were discussed in terms of hours and places of work along with the fact that work is 'speeding up'. Thus, ensuring leaders are abreast of the latest trends and are open to the changes this might require is something HR can help with now.
In addition to digitalisation, business structures and decentralisation, 'we don't know' was also a popular answer when we raised this question in our workshop. It can be hard to know exactly what the future holds, but it is vital for HR to be forward-thinking in its planning and make time to 'get out of the trenches' of day-to-day delivery. If you are unsure of the direction of your business, you're at risk of falling behind. If your HR team are serious about providing strategic input into the future of the organisation, then it is important to understand the direction of the business in its entirety and align your strategic planning with business goals.
Anticipating the needs of your people, especially your leadership team, is essential to your strategic planning. With the business goals in place, what skills will your leaders need to accomplish those future goals and be prepared for the new landscape? 'The ability to deal with change', 'resilience', 'clear personal brand' and 'innovation' all cropped up in the workshop. These are skills and tools that every leader needs.
In addition to these soft skills and 'adapting to change', the room also suggested 'better communication tools' and 'inclusion'. To help leaders thrive and indeed understand the reason for change, better communications are needed to build the collaborative relationship between leaders and HR/the business. This means improving how they convey their messages, ensuring they do so in multiple ways and via a broad range of communications channels. In addition, more collaboration was suggested as an important way forward for leaders.
'Inclusion' in this scenario means leaders need to be better at being all-encompassing of different generations, religions and different demographical needs. In order to represent and drive the business, they themselves should embody a holistic outlook and approach. As the landscape evolves, what leaders need will differ from business to business. However, HR must plan ahead.
'Understanding the business', 'innovating in our HR approach', 'being a mirror to the leaders' and 'being honest' all came up in the workshop. While all leaders and businesses are different, it's HR's role in developing the right solution that marries the people with the business goals. When discussing this, we all agreed that this must be a collaborative effort in order for it to succeed. The time is now for HR to demonstrate its strategic importance to the future of the business. This can be demonstrated through HR's understanding and knowledge of the business' imperatives.
Following on from this, the need to change how HR operates was discussed. There was consensus that HR needs to innovate, be less risk adverse and move away from the technical focus of process and procedures and into the strategic focus the organisation demands. This also included a move towards more learning and development.
Working in partnership with your leadership team will help encourage engagement and uptake. Some leaders will be happy to have this help, but others may need more coaching and encouragement. Being a 'mirror to the leaders', and being honest and open about their need to change is a key role for HR. This will mean helping leaders to understand what and how they need to do things differently. To help them recognise that change is needed can be difficult, but it is a hard line HR may
need to consider if they are serious about helping the business succeed and will be far easier if HR is taken seriously for its strategic role.
While the older order are regarded as more loyal, they can be more resistant to change. This poses many challenges for a business looking to innovate and stay ahead of the curve. How can businesses adapt if their leadership teams aren't on-board, let alone driving the future direction? Change of any magnitude can be difficult for the older generation to comprehend, so we must find compelling reasons for it and work with them to embrace the new.
A key challenge identified for HR concerned removing the hidden agendas and fixed mindsets by giving leaders some quick wins and creating time for them to 'think'. HR also need to get ahead of the game which is challenging given the uncertainty of the future. However the more HR takes the initiative on its strategic approach the more they will focus on the possibilities that might arise.
Despite not knowing what the future will hold, HR must demonstrate its strategic role as part of the leadership team rather than simply delivering technical processes. HR should start planning now for what will come. Key among that is starting to prepare leaders for the challenges they will face in their roles in the future. Communication, new ways of working, skills development and keeping pace with technology are foremost amongst those.
