|Wash Day Products
- Detangled- using my Magic Star Jumbo Rake seamless comb and a little avocado oil to aid in detangling.
- Scalp Massage- with JBCO. I covered with a plastic cap for about an hour.
- 1st Lather Shampoo- I applied about half the sample size of Mixed Chicks Shampoo diluted with water to scalp using a narrow tip applicator bottle. Being careful not to tangle my roots, I added the shampoo then rinsed. I'm so glad that I used in place of a clarifying shampoo. My hair felt squeaky clean and completely stripped. I'd probably never buy a full size of this one.
- 2nd Lather Shampoo- To restore a little moisture, I followed with diluted Matrix Biolage Hydratherapie Hydrating Shampoo in an applicator bottle. Fingers crossed that this poo is never discontinued.
- Extreme Deep Condition- Next, I deep conditioned with with a 3-1 ratio of Roux PC Conditioner and Matrix Biolage Hydratherapie Conditioning Balm on the length of my hair. Then, I massaged my strands with, Chi Silk Infusion, covered with a plastic cap and relaxed for 2 hours.This cocktail works like magic on relaxer days so I thought that it would be a delight in a regular wash.
- Tea Rinse- I rinsed the conditioner then with 2 green tea bags steeped in 2 cups of water, I applied my tea rinse using a narrow tip applicator. I let it sit for a few minutes and rinsed.
- Smoothing Treatment- Next, I applied a large dollop of Nexxus Hydralight Weightless Moisture Conditioner, massaged it in from root to tip for a minute or two then rinsed. I'm glad to be done with this bottle. It wasn't a win for me at all. Keyda had much better results.
- Air Dried- 70% with silk scarf.
- Leave-Ins- Herbal Essences Touchably Smooth Split End Protector + Argan Oil
Some of the most moisturized tresses of the summer! My hair felt super light and very clean. I noticed that I lost a little more hair in the shower than I usually do, however, that was off set by only having 3 strands lost during my post wash detangle. Totally a #win! This week I intend on being laid back (but not lazy) with my hair. Time to whip out a few Bun Effect styles then keep it moving.
How was your last wash day? How do you keep your hair laid back without being negligent?


text: If this is, in fact, the start of a long move up by large companies, don't miss out. By Russel Kinnel, Contributing Editor February 1, 2008 It's been so long in happening that it reads like a misprint. But finally, large companies are whupping small companies in the stock market -- something that hasn't happened since 1999. This may be the beginning of a long run for funds that invest in large companies, as more investors take notice of their relatively attractive valuations. (Lest you think I'm the Nostradamus of mutual funds, I've been saying this for three years and have only recently been right -- just as I was premature in the late 1990s when I said that small-company funds were about to have their day in the sun.)I also like the defensive nature of large companies these days because they're stable and, on the whole, less risky than small companies. That's nice to know because it looks as if we're in for a wild ride the next couple of years, with high oil prices, Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and an economy weakened by the housing bust. Sponsored Content If this is, in fact, the start of a long move up by large companies, don't miss out -- as some investors did in 2000, when small companies began their long rally. If you invest based on recent returns, or even if you just let your winners ride without rebalancing your portfolio, you may well be entering 2008 with a portfolio heavily skewed toward small caps. If so, I've got three funds for you. Each one loves mega-cap stocks and looks primed for a nice run over the next five to ten years. Advertisement Tom Marsico says that mega-cap stocks are underfollowed and that the market is less efficient than people think. I'm a little skeptical about that argument, but in Marsico Focus fund (symbol MFOCX) he has shown a knack for finding long-term winners among the giants. His outstanding 20-year record at the Janus and then Marsico funds reflects his ability to blend macroeconomic themes with savvy stock picking. In 2007, Marsico worked on his seventh straight year of above-average returns compared with the pack of large-growth funds, thanks to such smart stock picks as Schlumberger, Apple and Monsanto. The portfolio turnover rate of Dreyfus Appreciation (DGAGX) is a mere 1% annually. Favoring well-established brand names over faster growers, it owns the likes of Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, ExxonMobil and Coca-Cola. You may be thinking, Dreyfus? Its stock funds would have to improve just to be mediocre! Maybe, but this particular fund is managed by Fayez Sarofim & Co., of Houston. The firm has a great track record at this fund and the firm's larger institutional accounts. I like Sarofim's stability -- not a lot of changes in managers and analysts. An investment committee composed of Fayez Sarofim, Charles Sheedy, Christopher Sarofim and several others with decades of experience makes portfolio decisions. Together, they keep the fund tightly focused on companies with valuable brands, high-quality earnings, clean balance sheets and lots of free cash flow. Advertisement For a pure play on mega caps, go with Bridgeway Blue Chip 35 Index (BRLIX). This fund owns just 35 of the largest stocks in the U.S., giving its holdings an enormous average market capitalization of $135 billion. I like the simplicity and the low costs. If your portfolio is listing toward small caps, just putting 5% or 10% in this fund will give it a big booster shot of mega caps. In addition, its expense ratio is just 0.15% -- a price that's tough to beat. Cheap choices. You can also invest in exchange-traded funds to gain exposure to a mega-cap index. Consider Diamonds (DIA), with an average market cap of $117 billion and an expense ratio of 0.17%. There's also iShares S&P 500 Growth (IVW) -- market cap: $63 billion; expense ratio: 0.18% -- and Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) -- market cap: $56 billion; expense ratio: 0.27%.

My boy BFF Cisco says I am a Professional Chair Spinner which is kinda true. The reality is that I am a reverse procrastinator; I do all of my work as soon as possible in order to mazimize my chill time. So there I was at work, minding my own business when I got a last minute call that nearly made me faint- "Do you want to come to Fashion Week?"... UM, DUH. Did I mention that the trip was 3 weeks away... and all expenses were paid?! To quote 21st century Philosopher Kim Zolciak, "Thank you, Poppa!"* I have wanted to go to a real show during Fashion Week for as long as I can remember. I have been in Paris during Fashion Week, but I was really just trying to bump into Kanye, not actually get into a show. I have been to London Fashion Weekend and their awesome shows/parties, but I still wanted to go to that one big show. Now it was here and I couldn't believe it was really happening! A few emails back and forth to figure out who, what, when, and where and we were all set. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so I enlisted my girl BFF Sonia to join me on this crazy whirlwind adventure.
*Not actually a real person, gross.
We touched down in NYC and met our driver. I totally felt like Izzy Bradshaw being scooped up by Big. My sister has lived in New York for years, so I have been here plenty of times. However, this was the first time I would be in the city and not stay at her place. It felt so weird! I hate change, but this time I let it slide. The hotel we stayed at was the ultra-chic Gansevoort Meatpacking NYC. I totally LOVED it. I mean, look at this view!
Obviously we were starving, so we headed out and had a delicious early dinner at Móle. What about dessert? Ladurée had just opened their new salon in Soho and I was dying to take Sonia! We had already been to Ladurée on a previous trip to New York, back when they had just come to America and opened up in the Upper East Side. I wanted her to have the real experience, though!
Let me just begin by saying that we are complete opposites and somehow this totally works. I could literally eat garbage all day while she is a legit foodie. I sleep on "standy" for like 5 hours, but she needs a minimum of 8 hours of sleep every single night. We are a weird pair, but we are the best. Anyway, I told her about how I lived on champagne and pastries on my last trip to Paris. Now I could finally show her! We both love chocolate and desserts in general, so I knew this would be great. We had their chocolate chaud to warm up. Ugh, it was truly divine! I felt like Willy Wonka in a river of chocolate. It was the creamiest hot chocolate to ever grace my tastebuds. Of course we decided to go ahead and get chocolat wasted and had a Plaisir Sucre. It was so beyond! It's an almond meringue sandwich cake with crushed hazelnuts, crusty praline, thin milk chocolate leaves, chantilly cream and milk chocolate filling. We had to drink tons of water because we had finally met our match.
That night, we learned that there is indeed a limit on how much chocolate we can consume. Thanks, Ladurée!
Back to our wonderful hotel we went...
... and the view was even better at night!
They even had a card on our bed when we came back that let us know what tomorrow's weather would be. Ugh, I love them. Can I just live in luxury hotels forever? I was definitely in my zone.
Upon closer inspection, we realized that this said a high of 32 degrees, and a low of 25. Excuse me?! It doesn't end there... you mean to tell me there would be SNOW, too?! 32 degree weather (when I'm freezing at 80), experiencing real snow for the first time in my life, and finally getting into a show... what in the world was going on?! Of course, this is my life and nothing is ever easy. Off to bed we went, bracing ourselves for what the day would bring.

I first heard Stew & The Negro Problem several years ago on KPFK, here in Los Angeles. There is a program on that radio station called The Music Never Stops which, as you might guess, is largely a Grateful Dead show. But the program's host, Barry Smolin, uses the first section of the show to showcase newer recordings by jam bands. And it was during that opening section that The Negro Problem first caught my ear. They did not fit into the typical "jam band" category. There was something else going on here. Honestly, I didn't know quite what it was, but I knew I liked it.
A lot of jam band music works on an emotional, intuitive level, and The Negro Problem certainly can thrive on that level. But there is also something more intellectual about Stew & The Negro Problem, something more thoughtfully designed. Lyrically, they're often closer to the singer/songwriter genre. That is to say, the lyrics truly matter.
And the lyrics are often funny. Toward the end of "Therapy Only Works If You Tell The Truth," the therapist coldly repeats, "When did you first notice there was a problem in the relationship?" Until finally the answer comes, "Oh, when she left me." And that's how the song ends.
"Making It"
The album opens with its title track, a groovy rock instrumental with some delicious madness on drums, feeling almost like the end of an extended jam. It's just under two minutes long.
"Pretend" begins as a mellower, jazzy journey before the vocals come in. Sometimes when you're having trouble, it's not the complex, artsy tune that helps, but that familiar, innocuous song. In "Pretend," Stew sings, "I need a stupid song to pull me through/Like a childhood dog when you had the flu." But this song itself is not the stupid song he's seeking, not with lines like "Truth was more than you deserved." And I love these lyrics: "But stupid little songs always stay true/And when times get hard, they stay with you/And when times get tough, the song does too."
"Black Men Ski"
"Black Men Ski" is a humorous song that plays with stereotypes. Here is a taste of the lyrics: "Black men now are students of gay sensibility/Wear ironic T-shirts drenched in code unknown to thee/Get baptized in Walden Pond amongst a searing mob/The cleansing blood of Jesus could not do a thorough job/So black men ski." Yes, this song is funny. (And is it "thorough" or "Thoreau"?) But don't let your laughter keep you from hearing the song's message, which you might hear in lines like "Some kids I'll describe as friends say I am race-obsessed/The luxury of that opinion shows that you are blessed."
There are so many songs about relationships ending. But what others are so direct and yet so poetic at the same time? Check out these lyrics from "Curse": "And now you don't need a new girlfriend/What you need is a nurse/We won't flag you a taxi/We'll just hail you a hearse." And then there is the repeated line, "Ask her to lift the curse." Heidi then comes in and sings the opening lines.
"Speed" begins with some soft playing on guitar. In this tune about methamphetamine, Stew sings, "My body was so resilient/Everything I said was brilliant/And it seems to fulfill a sincere artistic need." There is something of a 1960s rock feel to parts of this song, particularly when it kicks in (that bit reminds me especially of a certain section of The Who's "A Quick One While He's Away"). This all leads to a joyous cacophony toward the end (like jazz eating rock, or possibly rock eating jazz).
"Tomorrow Gone"
"Tomorrow Gone" begins with an easy-going reggae beat - sort of like reggae out on the range. This song has a really sweet sound, with their vocals blending beautifully. The first time I listened to this album, this is one that really stood out. I immediately loved it. And this is one of the lines that caught me: "You ain't got to be ignorant to want some bliss." And then "Tomorrow Gone" eases into this delicious New Orleans-flavored horn section. This song itself is bliss.
"Leave Believe"
"Leave Believe is a sad acoustic songs that starts, "It took a little while for me to see/You stopped believing in me/I wasn't left with much to do/So I stopped believing in you." How's that for getting right to the heart of things? The song needs no other lyrics. First Stew sings the lines, then Heidi has her turn (as in "Curse"). And it's crushing - that they both feel the same way, and yet are so isolated. And then the song kicks in with a surprising force. This is one of my favorites.
"Treat Right"
The album ends with "Treat Right," which has something of a 1970s groove. This is a song about writing songs, and finding therapy in song (and songwriting). It seems a lot of songwriters try to work out their relationship problems in song. And as Stew sings, "And if it don't work, we'll write a song about that too." That's a good, positive spin, eh? I love these lines: "I tried to write a tune about you and me/To turn a mystery into melody."

abstract = {A central assumption in public finance is that individuals optimize fully with respect to the incentives created by tax policies. In this paper, we test this assumption using two empirical strategies. First, we conducted an experiment at a grocery store where we posted tax-inclusive prices for 750 products subject to sales tax for a three week period. Using scanner data, we find that posting tax-inclusive prices reduced demand by roughly 8 percent among the treated products relative to control products and nearby control stores. Second, we find that state-level increases in excise taxes (which are included in posted prices) reduce aggregate alcohol consumption significantly more than increases in sales taxes (which are added at the register and hence less salient). Both sets of results indicate that tax salience affects behavioral responses. We propose a bounded rationality model to explain why salience matters, and show that it matches our evidence as well as several additional stylized facts. In the model, agents incur second-order (small) utility losses from ignoring some taxes, even though these taxes have first-order (large) effects on social welfare and government revenue. Using this theoretical framework, we develop elasticity-based formulas for the efficiency cost and incidence of commodity taxes when agents do not optimize fully.

Planet Biometrics, October 13, 2017 - China is developing a biometric database using face recognition that could identify any one of its 1.3 billion citizens within three seconds.
The goal is for the system to able to match someone's face to their ID photo 90 per cent of the time, according to a report by the South China Morning Post.
The project was launched by the Ministry of Public Security in 2015, is under development in conjunction with a security company based in Shanghai, according to SCMP.
The daily reported that the 1.3 billion-person facial recognition system is being developed by Isvision, which told SCMP it had won the contract last year.
The company declined to provide details.
Isvision security cameras with facial recognition capabilities were first deployed in Tiananmen Square as early as 2003, according to the company's website. Similar systems are in place in Xinjiang and Tibet.
The newspaper writes that the giant system can be connected to surveillance CCTV networks and will make use of cloud facilities to connect to data storage and processing centres distributed across the country, according to people familiar with the project.

After having little luck starting healthy stocky transplants indoors we were about to give up. We lusted after one of these but at $370 that so wasn't going to happen.
So Michael started researching and looking around and came up with this:
All the ingredients in this recipe for this deluxe 4 shelf seed starting unit can be found at your local big box hardware store for a grand total of $130. And it can be done cheaper. We splurged on the nice chromed industrial shelf. That was $100.
In addition to the shelf we hung 6 fluorescent shop lights, 2 per shelf, with the chains and hooks that came with them. The fixtures themselves are fitted with one high spectrum and one low spectrum fluorescent tube each, providing the same spectrum mix as costlier grow-light tubes. The cords feed down to a multi-outlet surge protector that controls power to all the lights with one on/off switch. We can turn off individual lights for shelves not in use by pulling the chains on the fixtures. The height of the lights from the plants is adjustable by moving the hooks up and down the chains as needed. We can position the lights nearly on top of the tubs when the seedlings first emerge and move them up as the plants grow taller. If you were inclined you could add a timer to control the lights. We just turn them on when we get up (pre-crack of dawn) and off when we go to bed. We are able to grow hundreds of nice stocky transplants on this unit which takes up very little space.
Don't think that this seed shelf's useful life comes to an end once the transplants are in the garden. It's next use is starting seeds that wouldn't do well in summer's heat for transplant to the late summer/fall/winter garden. Even then it's work isn't done. In late fall potted herbs come inside to provide fresh pickings through the winter. In early winter we plant tubs with lettuce mix, spinach, and basil for fresh greens when the greens in the winter garden give out. If we've done it right, by the time the seedling population kicks the salad tubs off the shelves, garden lettuce isn't too far away.
We start our seeds in storage tubs from the dollar store that Michael has drilled for drainage. These have the advantage of being lightweight, discourage drying out, come with a lid that helps keep the soil moist while waiting for the seeds to sprout and then becomes the saucer to catch drips when watering. They are deep enough to grow the transplants' root systems to a goodly size before they need to be moved to larger individual containers (we use plastic half gallon milk jugs for transplants).
Here's another shot of it ready for cutting
Miracle Farm at the Country Store. We've made lists of new varieties we want to try and where we want to buy them. I'm already making seasonal lists of old standbys and new recipes for preserving. In the next few days and weeks we'll be planting seeds and impatiently waiting for the soil to be workable enough to direct seed early spring crops.
Mmmmm... fresh new peas!

The Big Banana was shunted around the State of Western Australia before eventually becoming the lame icon for Carnarvon (the banana capital of WA), the Yellow Submarine became a piece of public art because nobody else knew what to call it and the Yellow Peril (god bless) created one of the greatest public art outcries in modern history. So horrified were the Melbournites, that the Yellow Peril was dismantled in the middle of the night and removed to a park, where it became an instant hit with the homeless.

We probably know few popular cloud services, and sometimes we need all of them. But there is a problem while using these cloud services developed from different developers. The problem is that we don't have any option to sync the account. This could be an issue, but wait; there is a workaround to solve the problem of synchronizing.
Supporting a number of cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, Amazon Drive, etc. MultCloud service is a platform where everybody has the capacity to synchronize them in one go. With this fantastic facility, you can also sync the data between the cloud accounts.
Steps to Sync Cloud Storage Services with MultCloud
How to Select the Cloud Service to Sync MultCloud
- Open MultCloud and log into your account.
- Go to the upper toolbar click the Cloud Explorer tab.
- Go to the left panel of the window tab.
- Click Add Cloud Drives button.
- You will need to the service from here. Suppose you are adding Dropbox.
- Click the Next button and then Add Dropbox Account.
If you have already signed into your cloud account with the same browser you are using for MultCloud, then the browser will automatically collect the credentials of your cloud account. Or else, you will be prompted to enter the credentials or required to log into the account. Now go return to the Cloud Explorer tab and keep on adding other cloud services with the same steps.
How to Transfer and Sync the Accounts
- Click the Cloud Transfer tab if you have selected all other cloud services.
- Now select the directory you want to transfer and the target directory you want to save the files to.
- Click the Cloud Sync tab to sync the two directories.
- Now, click the Source tab and click Destination.
- Name the synchronization and click the drop-down arrow.
- Select the sync type – one-way, two-way, etc. from the menu.
- As you have configured the sync, click the Sync Now tab.
- When the sync pair is created, go to the top left corner of your username in MultCloud.
- Click to open the menu and find Task Manager.
- Click the Menu tab.
- Here, you can access the schedules for the sync pair.
- Click the Sync Now button and begin the synchronization of the all the accounts.
Undoubtedly, the MultCloud platform has made the sync between all the cloud services easier. Now, anyone can sync each cloud account at once by clicking on a couple of options and tabs. Once you are done, you will realise how useful MultCloud is.

The Economic Times of India's Global Business Summit took place this week, and it was inevitable that the cryptocurrency sector was going to be one of the topics discussed at length. What wasn't foreseen, however, was Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak coming forward and saying he was a victim of a bitcoin scam.
It's been known for quite some that bitcoin, as well as every other virtual currency, holds a lot of risks. But when the co-founder of one of the largest technology companies in the world falls into its trap, then we know that anyone is susceptible to being duped by cryptocurrency scams.
The Bitcoin Scam
According to Wozniak, he had seven bitcoins stolen from him through fraud. Essentially what happened is this: an individual purchased the bitcoins from the 67-year old American entrepreneur and inventor through a credit card, and then proceeded to terminate the credit card payment. The scariest part of it all, according to Steve Wozniak, was just how easy it was to steal the bitcoins.
Sure, at first glance, seven bitcoins might not seem like a lot. However, it's actually the opposite. At the time, Wozniak purchased the bitcoins back when it was valued at $700, but today, his loss is valued at roughly $71,400. Personally, this would have scared me off right away, but that wasn't the case for the Apple co-founder.
>>India's NASSCOM Partners With Blockchain Institute
Wozniak kept his bitcoin holdings until the end of 2017. When he did finally announce in January that he sold his bitcoin holdings, he didn't cite the bitcoin scam. In fact, he said it was only because he had only moved into cryptocurrency solely for experimental purposes. He then added that he never wanted to become one of those individuals that constantly watch it and fret over the price. That is extremely justifiable. It seems every week I'm biting my nails to see the direction the cryptocurrency is heading in. One week it's dropping below the $12,000 mark and the next its well above it.
Now that we know about Steve Wozniak's experience with the digital currency, I think it will be interesting to see if people follow in his lead and sell their bitcoin holdings in fear of falling victim to a bitcoin scam.

Well, Jordan is bringing the tour back this Fall and I am honored to be one of those selected to join this year's tour.
The Community and Resistance Tour seeks to communicate about current struggles for justice and liberation, from the current BP Oil Drilling Disaster devastating the Gulf Coast to nooses hung in the northern Louisiana town of Jena. From women organizing inside prisons to cultural resistance.
The tour also seeks to connect communities of liberation, and to build relationships between grassroots activists and independent media. This tour is for anyone interested in issues of health care, education, criminal justice, housing, or the ways in which systems of racism, patriarchy and other forms of oppression intersect with these struggles.
Sponsored by Haymarket Books, PM Press, Left Turn Magazine, and other radical and independent media projects from around the US, the Community and Resistance Tour is an exciting movement-building opportunity.
Beginning August, 2010, the tour will bring speakers, images, short videos, and inspiration to towns and cities in across the US. I will be touring from September 11-28 with stops in cities such as New York, Syracuse, Cleveland, Chicago and more. (Click here to see dates)
Featured presenters will also include Jordan Flaherty and Victoria Law(click this link for bios). For more information, including how to bring the tour to your city, please email neworleans (at) leftturn.org or nick (at) haymarketbooks.org.

About Saki H H Munro
Hector Hugh Munro was born in Akyab, in what was then Burma
and is now known as Myanmar. The son of a colonial official, he was in
fact brought up in Devon, England, under the fierce guard of two aunts,
this was due to the fact that when the young Munro was two years old
his mother was killed by a charging cow. The aunts were to play a large
and vengeful part in his later writings, as were homicidal animals.

I'm pretty sure I have seen discussions about the best planners for therapists in every single counselor group I'm in over the last few weeks. Some of those discussions have been surprisingly heated. It would seem that there are two types of therapists: those that obsessively decorate and organize extravagant planners and those that live life off the calendar on their phone. I'll admit that I bounce between the two extremes and am usually somewhere in the middle. I'm a moderate planner who wishes her datebook was full of stickers and goals sheets but would usually rather sleep than devote the necessary time. Still, I find that I am more at peace when my planner is at least organized and up-to-date so I went through all of the planners that fellow therapists said worked for them. In no particular order, here are the best planners for therapists.
Note: Some of the following links are affiliate links which means we make a small commission without costing you anything extra. You can learn more here. Prices are accurate as of 12/26/17 but are subject to change.
I love the look of this planner and how sturdy it is. I also really liked the way the goal sheets are broken down into personal, work, urgent and non-urgent. The one drawback is that there isn't as much room for customization as some of the others on the list.
$55 and up
These planners are pricier than others but those who use them tend to love them. I really liked how customizable they are. You can choose your style, color scheme and the planning layout. I found that last one especially appealing because typical hourly formats feel constrictive to me.
$28.99 and up
The Planner Pad has a unique funnel approach. Each week has a space for all of the things you need to do, organized by into own categories. Then there is space for you to write tasks and priorities for each day, followed by your meetings and appointments. This seems like a great approach for those of use who juggle multiple roles and overwhelming to-do lists. One draw back is that these planners are as ascetically pleasing as the others and don't allow as much space for creative expression.
$30 and up
The passion planner probably has the most devoted fans of any planner out there. It's perfect if you want space to add creativity to your calendar and if you want to focus on long term goals and dreams while working to make them a reality. It includes special pages to
$32 and up
These planners were by far the most customizable of all that I reviewed. You were able to completely design your own cover and the layout inside as well as adding extra personalized sheets. This planner might be best for someone with experience using planners because all of the options might feel overwhelming otherwise.
These planners are bound in leather and you can have your name embossed on the cover. They do not have as many options for layouts but have several sizes and color options. I thought these planners were beautiful and professional looking.
This planner is less structured and doesn't have traditional time slots built in for scheduling your day. However, it asks you to identify priorities and goals every day. Plus, it gives space for appointments and your to-do list. My favorite part of this planner is the daily space for things that you are not going to do. I didn't find this in any other planners and thought it could be a great reminder to give myself grace when saying no or when making changes.
$31.99 for a 3 month planner
This is a planner / journal / goal achieving program. It is designed so that you will spend 30 minutes a day focusing on your daily tasks and 3 month goals. It might be really helpful for some practitioners but I worried whether the time commitment required was sustainable for me.
Inner Guide Goal and Life Planner
My favorite part of this planner is the way the priority sheets are designed. You are asked to choose priorities for the month, not only in business but in friendships, families, health, creativity and more. This seems to really align with goals to prioritize self-care and balance that are common for us as therapists.
This planner is designed by, and for, therapists so it includes several bonus features specific to mental health. For example, it has a list of ICD codes, worksheets for SMART goals and a space to record CEUs.
We heard from psychologists, counselors, social workers and other mental health professionals that these were the best planners for therapists. In the midst of our digital world, I love that so many people in our field are prioritizing quiet and beauty as they plan their days. If you know of another planner that belongs on this list let us know here or tell us about it in the comments. Make sure you're also following The Therapist's Bookshelf on Facebook and Instagram.
Many therapists enjoy recommending books to their clients to supplement the work they are doing together. We also use books to help ourselves grow as people and practitioners. Remember though that books are never a replacement for real human connection, for supervision and continuing education, or for therapy when it's needed. If you find yourself needing a therapist, a great place to start is Psychology Today. If you are having thoughts of hurting yourself or someone else, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline

Mt. Marami is located in Maragodon, Cavite where you can see the grandeur view of Cavite. It is just my fourth time to hike and for me, this is one of the longest hike I've ever had. Many people is often compared it to Mt. Pico de Loro and they were like sisters daw, same features.
Just to add up some information, the name of the mountain is coined from the Tagalog term "marami" because the mountain is composed mainly of numerous gigantic rocks. The open trail of the mountain will lead you to experience the "Silyang Bato" which can be found on the summit.
Jump-off point: Sitio Bangkaan, Brgy. Talipusngo, Maragondon, Cavite
Alternate jumpoff: Brgy.Ramirez, Magallanes, Cavite
LLA: 405 MASL (1,328 feet)
Days required / Hours to summit: 1-2 days / 2-3 hours
Specs: Minor climb, Difficulty 3/9, Trail class 1-3
Source: http://www.pinoymountaineer.com/2007/09/mt-marami-405.html
Note: In Brgy. Talipusngo, you can bring your car to shorten your hike hours, don't know in Brgy. Ramirez if you can also bring.
Here are some photos on our trip

View From the Cab
Sweatshirt Weather in Iowa But Warmer Temps in Oklahoma
LANGDON, Mo. (DTN) -- DTN View From the Cab farmers Brent and Lisa Judisch of Cedar Falls, Iowa, live in a really cool place. It was especially so last week. "Boy, we're really cool right now. We went to Sturgis Falls weekend in Cedar Falls. It was sweatshirt weather. Usually everyone is looking for shade. This time everybody was looking for a sunny spot," Brent told DTN late Sunday. "Everyone comes to town for Sturgis Falls. They have four different venues with bands and a parade, a carnival and talent shows."
Last week started out business as usual on Monday and Tuesday. Brent did some spot spraying with a three-point mounted spray rig on the back of a 4020 John Deere while his dad Duane Judisch and partner Harold Burington sprayed fence rows with a handheld wand. Then the weather began to change. Wednesday it rained a half inch. Thursday it rained a full inch. That is when a front passed through the area, dropping daytime highs Friday and Saturday to 70 degrees. Nighttime lows were in the mid-50s. "Today it never got out of the 60s. Actually, the cool weather is kind of good. Corn was growing so fast we might have had a green snap problem. This will slow it down," Brent said.
Brent was able to postemerge spray soybean fields on Saturday, but Sunday was too windy. "Today the wind blew 18 to 20 miles per hour. It was too cool to spray anyway. I'll have 400 acres to spray yet Monday and Tuesday. Today I went out and mowed the road ditches and got those all done," he explained.
Soybean plant development is behind normal this year. Two early-planted fields done in mid-April look great, 10 inches tall with row middles shaded. Later-planted, minimum-till fields worked last fall aren't growing well. Brent told DTN he can't remember a time when his soybeans were so short in late June. He hasn't replanted any of his fields, but neighbors have rented his small four-row replant planter and his air drill to redo some of their own. "The air seeder doesn't destroy what's out there. You can drive at an angle to the rows without hurting much. Beans put in here around Mothers Day have really thin stands. You can go any direction from here and that's kind of the way it is. I would say 1,000 acres of beans got replanted here last week," he said.
There are no problems with corn though. "I would rate our corn very good but way behind. We planted from April 13 to May 25. It's gonna be a pretty-spread-out pollination period." That is true of everything but the fields that were struck by hail. "We have 500 acres with leaf damage. We probably have 110 acres with 40% broken off (by hail). Another 100 acres has 10% to 20% broken off. We had a lot of beans damaged, but you can't tell it because they're so small," he said.
Brent told DTN that hail adjustors are still waiting for plants to recover before assessing the damage.
This year's storm is only the second time Brent and Lisa's crops have been hailed on. A 90-year old neighbor told them this was his first hail storm. In spite of the hail, rainfall across the area has been good with a total 5 inches falling in the last 14 days. Soil tilth is good, root penetration has been excellent and drainage tiles are still running, indicating plenty of moisture from the crop.
This is the kind of pristine Midwestern farm country once immortalized by the movie Field of Dreams, about a heavenly baseball diamond nestled in a green Iowa corn field. In fact, the real thing isn't far away.
"It's just an hour east of us on Highway 20," Brent said.
View From the Cab farmer Zack Rendel of Miami, Oklahoma, was taking time out from vertical tilling when DTN caught up with him late Monday. "I'm actually stuck in the middle of a field waiting for the big tractor to come pull me out. We rutted this wheat field up pretty good. It's all dry except ruts in the terrace channels. The wheels on the VT act like a big anchor (when they fall into a combine rut)," he explained.
It's been a wet spring around Miami where Zack and his family are plowing ahead in an attempt to finish this year's soybean planting. "We have about a 1,000 acres left. We missed a little bit of rain Friday night. We've been going slow. Now that we're on no-till it's going faster," he said.
Zack spent part of Monday and Tuesday removing a plugged exhaust filter on one of the Rendel family's truck tractors. "The filter plugged up and shut it down. I took it to the dealer to clean it. Now I'm waiting for a mechanic to come and clear the (error) codes (out of the computer). Electronics can be a real headache," he said.
Zack serves on the local county fair board. Friday he helped with the Jackpot Swine and Sheep show. Fieldwork took up the rest of the week.
Zack told DTN that soybean planting resumed on Wednesday, with double-crop beans following wheat or canola underway since Sunday. Earlier plans were for Zack to use a tandem pair of 15-foot grain drills to speed up planting. "We decided to hold off and use the big tractor to work ground up with the field cultivator," he said.
Early-planted soybeans are about 4 to 6 inches tall. "They're still kind of short. I've noticed this year they're not growing as quickly as they normally do. Some of our first-planted beans got dinged up by a hard rain (on top of a pre-applied herbicide that was splashed onto plants). They have PPO damage. It sort of blackens and curls up the leaves. They should grow out of it," Zack explained.
Temperatures last week were in the 90s. A frontal passage on Saturday dropped the high to 78. Eighties forecast for this week should help milo "push out heads." Earliest corn has pollinated and ears are blistered. Latest planted fields are tasseling now. 60 acres of a 100-acre field of conventional corn was damaged by glyphosate drift from an aerial applicator working in a neighboring field. Scattered survivors from leftover genetically modified seed corn in the planter left no doubt about the cause. "Every place there was a Roundup Ready corn stalk it looked real good with dead plants all around it," Zack said. "Brent went out and replanted it. We're going to find out how June 20 corn does. There are some guys around here in Kansas who did double-crop corn. As long as you can get past August and September you can do OK," he added.

Building a project documentation framework
Properly maintained documentation is of crucial importance to any project team and project manager regardless of project type and methodology used. Agile methodologies of today mostly advocate little to no documentation which might seem as a good idea, but in general it is a bad idea because sooner or later you will have to explain why has something been done this or that way, who order and authorized the implementation of functionality x in this specific way, the developers and tester will need to validate that requirements have been met and so on.
So when you get a supreme guru justice league developer or project manger telling you that he can complete a project without documentation don't believe for a second that it's a good idea. While the statement it self might be true and one can complete a project without proper documentation you can be sure that there is a whole world of pain down the road for you.
Currently I'm managing a mid-large enterprise system, that has several maintenance and upgrade contracts running concurrently which are handled by different development teams on different platforms and technologies and it is crucial for all of our teams that they have current and up-to date documentation on the system. Still we can't afford to waste valuable man days on mountains of papers and documents so we had to choose a proper amount of documentation which had to cover our basic needs
- Easy to write and maintain
- Clear and unambiguous
- Understandable to technical and non-technical personnel
- Easy to relate and transform to other documents
We started of with the basics of the Agile methodologies and the user story format and built our requirements document around it. The current requirements document corresponds to an Epic consisting of a scenario list like "Editing an xx", "Searching for xx", "Calculating xx" which consist of a story list table detailing all of the user stories required. The document in it self is a simple decomposition of the user actions which exibits the following traits
- focuses discussion on user actions and process
- client stakeholders can easily relate to it
- it contains sufficient information for the development team
- it does not predetermine any part of the actual implementation
Of course the document is always signed and confirmed by all parties project manager, client representative and development team representative.
So we happily started to write our requirements documents and after a while when we got bug reports we saw that we could not identify how the current version of the system should behave since it consisted of user stories implemented over user stories over user stories etc. Then came the decision that we should have a document that will be updated as we implement user stories in the system will describe the current state of the system.
To satisfy that need we used the Use case form as a basis for functional description of the system. The use case document is updated during sprints by the business analysts as user stories are implemented consistently representing the current system functionality. This document covers needs different form the requirements document such as:
- description of current system functionality
- detailed description of required steps to complete an action or process
- detailed description of UI
- detailed description of implemented business rules
- detailed description of the implementation of user stories
By developing the use cases from the requirements document we inadvertently managed to kill three flies with one blow. We quickly realized that the use case document since it details implementation and user actions, can easily in mater of an hour or two be transformed into test cases and user manuals. Then from the test cases it was a mater of a couple of hours to build automated UI test which dramatically increased the testing coverage and quality while reducing the load on our testing team.
With this we saw the ultimate benefit of keeping a decent level of documentation of our system and that is improving the overall quality with reducing costs and time-pressure development teams. The second benefit of this documentation system is that our team members can now focus on their primary job with a clear goal ahead and a clear condition of done.
The business analysts develop User stories with the stakeholders, architects review and design the system development teams concentrate on developing the best software based on User stories, the testing team can develop test cases based on the use cases and automated test based on the test cases, the support team has detailed specifications to review, test and categorize bugs, thus completing the circle and easing the job all round at the expense of investing a little bit of time in developing some documentation which comes back big time as a reward in the form of clarity of functionality, faster development and most important of all quality.
Using TransactionScope for handling transactions
Implementing transactions from C#/VB code today might seam easier than ever before, but the path to easier and effective transaction handling has many traps on the way. Microsoft made the life of developers seemingly easier by implementing the TransactionScope class in the .net framework 2.0. I say seemingly easier because you sometimes might find your self baffled by the way your code will behave.
The TransactionScope class uses MS Distributed Transaction Coordinator to manage transactions, so before you start using the TransactionScope, make sure you have DTC running on the Web and Database server and that you have granted enough security permission for the DTC to be able to communicate on thoes machines.
So to get started with TransactionScope, here is a simple code example that seams perfectly OK.
using(TransactionScope outerScope = new TransactionScope()) { // Execute query 1 using(TransactionScope innerScope = new TransactionScope()) { try { // Execute query 2 } catch (Exception) { } innerScope.Complete(); } outerScope.Complete(); }
Now if query 2 which is inside of the try/catch block, rasies an error you will catch the exception in the try/catch block and handle it, but here is a supprise the application will throw an ObjectDisposedException on line 15 when you try to complete the transaction. This is because the DTC has already caught the exception and although you have handled it, the TransactionScope objects where already disposed by the .Net code and the transaction has been rolled back. Notice that I have said "objects" this is because both of the TransactionScope object have been disposed as they are a part of the same transaction. This is just one example where you might seam surprised that the code is not behaving as you would expect.
The TransactionScope implements something that is referred to as an "Ambient transaction". This is the transaction in which all database queries are executed. When I say all queries I mean all queries that are executed between the creation of the TransactionScope object and the calling of the Complete() method, including all method calls and their method calls and so on, that are executed between those two lines. That means that you don't need to handle the transaction in every method that participates in the transaction unless you want to.
You can control the manner in which a method participates in a transaction quite easily. Here is a piece of code to demonstrate:
using(TransactionScope outerScope = new TransactionScope()) { // Execute query 1 using(TransactionScope innerScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required)) { // Execute query 2 innerScope.Complete(); } using (TransactionScope innerScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.RequiresNew)) { // Execute query 3 innerScope.Complete(); } using (TransactionScope innerScope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Suppress)) { // Execute query 4 innerScope.Complete(); } outerScope.Complete(); }
This demonstrates the use of the TransactionScopeOption Enumeration to control the way some piece of code will participate in a transaction. The enumeration consist of three options Required, RequiresNew and Suppress. The default options for the TransactionScope constructor is "Required" which states that an ambient transaction is required for this operations, if non exists the transaction will be created. The options "Suppress" states thata the this TransactionScope will not participate in the transaction and therefore all database queries are executed without a transaction. The option of "RequiresNew" states that a new ambient transaction will allways be created and become the root transaction.
There are further options that can be modified when using the TransactionScope class by using a different constructor TransactionScope Constructor (TransactionScopeOption, TransactionOptions) that takes the TransactionOptions struct as a parameter here is an code example.
TransactionOptions options = new TransactionOptions(); options.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1); options.IsolationLevel = IsolationLevel.Serializable; using(TransactionScope scope = new TransactionScope(TransactionScopeOption.Required, options)) { scope.Complete(); }
The TransactionOptions struct has 2 properties Timeout and IsolationLevel. The first is self explanatory the timeout prior to completition of the transaction. The second one is more important, I would say my self crucial to effective handling of transactions. The IsolationLevel Enumeration consist of several levels of isolation: Serializable, RepeatableRead, ReadCommitted, ReadUncommitted, Snapshot, Chaos and Unspecified. With the "Serializable" isolation level being the strictest and "ReadUncommitted" begin the least strict form of isolation.
Serializable means that all transactions occur in a completely isolated fashion; i.e., as if all transactions in the system had executed serially, one after the other. That means no other transaction can be run until the one running is completed. This type of isolation should be used very carefully since it can cause massive timeouts etc. if used with long lasting transactions.
RepeatableRead is a step down from Serializable isolation level, where multiple transaction can run at the same time, but all data read during the transaction can not be modified (exclusive row/page locks) and volatile data cannot be read.
ReadCommitted is a further step down in isolation where the transaction allows for reading and modifying of data that has been used in a select statement, but volatile data cannot be read or changed by other queries.
ReadUncommitted is the least strict isolation level where the transactions can see uncommitted changes performed by other transactions, allowing for dirty reads.
More on isolation levels on Wikipedia.
That sums up the basic use of the TransactionScope class with more to come 🙂
Top Gear
That one show about speed, cars and octanes that we all love to watch.
I watched a lot of different shows about cars and related stuff, but one show is the cream of the crop, the kingpin, the leader of the pack. The show is running on BBC now for about two decades set the standard for all others to try to follow, many of them did and have succeeded to a certain degree, but they could only do so much.
I found a nice torrent, and I'm downloading it as I am writing this. The torrent is the seasons of the show as I can figure it from 2002 to 2006. Of course I have already downloaded the latest 2007 shows, and watched them all already. You can see most of the shows on YouTube, if you have not already seen them. There are a lot of clips and most of them contain whole episodes.
Here are two that I especially like, episodes that capture the brilliance of this show.
The race to the North pole, Toyota Hilux vs sled, the episode where they go head to head with the Aston Martin Vantage V8, BMW M6 and Porsche 911 Carrera S and my favorite The destruction of Toyota Hilux.
The core of the show today are the three presenters, that think up the shows and the test, which lets be honest are not that scientific, but they are so fun. The thing that makes this show stand out is the witty and classy British humor and the pure passion of the presenters for what they are doing and they don't see the making of the show as a job, rather as a fun time. That is what first attracted me to the show, and I believe that this a must for making a good show.

Yesterday I watched the latest movie with Jim Carey. The title is simply 23. It's probably the only movie in which Carey's character is normal so to say. The character is a guy obsessed by the number 23, the movie it self is a thriller, with a dose of paranormal. Now I would say that in the movie there are 2 stories, the first being the story of a killing of college student, for which a professor was convicted, and which was in fact killed by Carey, and the other story being the story about the number 23.
Now there is a certain mith around the number 23, that the number 23 appears is all around us and certain events are marked with 23. Now for some 23 is a sign for a good event, but the majority believe 23 to be a bad thing. Why let me give you a couple of examples.
1. The human genes have 46 chromosomes, 23 from the father, 23 from the mother.
2. 23 seconds is the average time that takes for the blood to recirculate.
3. 9/11 2001, add the number up 9+1+2+1 = 23
4. Hiroshima, the bomb was dropped at 8:15 = 23
5. Charles Darwin's Origin of Species was published in 1859 – 1+8+5+9 = 23
6. Although the Old Testament is unspecific, it is widely held that Adam and Eve had 23 daughters.
7. The 23rd verse of the first chapter of Genesis brings the act of creation to a close.
8. The 23rd chapter of the book of Genesis deals entirely with death, namely that of Abraham's wife, Sarah.
9. The most famous and most quoted of the Psalms is number 23: "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters."
10. Passage 23:23 "What hath God wrought"
11. The bible has 22 chapters.
12. Julius Caesar was stabbed 23 times
13. The knights Templar had 23 grand masters.
14. "W" is the 23rd letter of the Latin alphabet. It has two points down and three points up. White supremacists use 23 to represent "W" as a mark of racial superiority.
15. The earths spins in cone at an angle of 23,5 degreese -> 23 + .2 + .3
16. The procesion of that spin is 23500 years
17. The cancer of Capricorn / crab 23,5 degrees
18. April 19th as in 4-19… 4 + 19 = 23. April 19 is the date the Battle of Lexington, Waco, and the Oklahoma City Bombing.
19. The number of joints in the human arm is 23
20. The human life cycle is 23 days.
and so on. There is a huge list here http://afgen.com/numbr23b.html.
Now why is that so interesting, it's just a number repeating it self. OK now divide 2 by 3, and you get .6666666 and so on to infinity. The believers in this theory believe that the 23 is a hidden signature of the devil him self.
So lets examine this examples more carefully. Now I would say that we should rule out any and all of the occuraces of the number 23 where there are humanly designed measurements involved. Like degrees, time, dates, alphabets, none of those are acceptable, because if you apply a different measuring unit the number 23 disappears.
Like 9/11 2001 in our calendar, but if you use the julian calendar the date is 8/29 2001 which does not add up to 23 in any way, or you could use Hebrew 6/23 5761 or islamic 6/22 1422, by which we can conclude that in that one particular calendar system the numbers and to 23, but in the others they have nothing to do with 23.
Lets use 23500 year period that takes the earth to complete its procession. Here it gets even worse, the period was once longer, and has a consistent decay rate, and once again the earth will be spining on a vertical axis. But if you again convert from our time measurement to let's say the mayan (which had a more accurate calendar than our own Gregorian), the numbers are not even close.
OK now the letter W, letter W is the 23 letter of the Latin alphabet. Not so, it is the 23 letter only in English based alphabets. In the Croatian, and the rest of the Slavic based alphabets there is no letter W, as is no in Asian alphabets or African or South American, and if there was it would not be in the 23 place.
By now you should be aware of the need to filter out the occurances of the number 23 in anything that relates to some human measurement. Because if you measure something to be 23 miles long, in the metric system it is 39 km long. The only thing left is the are those numbering occurances like the 23 chromosomes from the mother and father each to child.
With the filtering out off all of those occurances, you would get a number of occurances of the 23 in some normal statistical pattern as the rest of the numbers.
The only thing now left interesting in the number 23 is that it is:
1. the first prime number with consecutive digits
2. the first prime number with both digits being prime numbers
3. the first prime number where the digits add up to a prime number (5)
4. primes 2, 3, and 5 are the first three prime number of our the decimal system.
5. that 2 is the only even prime number
6. that 3 is the first odd prime number
7. 2/3 is .666666
Blog recyling
While i was trying to think up a new name for my blog, not the title. but the domain name, I found a lot of the names where taken. I was prepared for that since I know how many people have their blogs on this service, and I figured that the good ones have already been taken.
But I was suprised that when I checked some of those domains, example. simplyclever.blogspot.com that I found that that blog was inactive since 2004, or more or less 3 years now. The blog has only one post on it, and that is it. As far as I am concerned I believe that the blogger service should recycle those blogs, and release the domain name for others to use.Now if and when the user logs in back to his account, which is highly doubtful, after 3 years of inactivity, the user has to pick a new domain name for his blog, since his old domain name, for the reason of inactivity was recycled. This should also be an interest of the blogger service, since I belive the intent of those running the service is to have as much active bloggers, and not empty blogs, that no body touched for over 3 years.
That would also improve the happiness of those opening new blogs, since they would know that they have a shot at the domain name they like. Rather then knowing that the domain name is used by nothing.
Start of a slow begining
I am quite of a casual gamer, you know that type that always complains and always wants more and more of features etc. I understand game developers have a hard time of developing games and adjusting them to please as much gamers as possible. Since I am a software developer my self, and I always have to bend over for my clients, whose count fortunately is not in the millions rather just a dozen of those super smart "managers", you could say that i have it easier then the game developers.
I have often thought about writing my own game, to correct all that stuff that i found lacking in the games i played. I found often that the games had a good start, but at a certain point it seams like the development stopped, and the features that could have been implemented have not been.
Until now I did not think that one man, without no previous knowledge about game development, directx, graphics and etc. could do, I am a back end, enterprise solution developer, so drawing is not something that I am good at. But now after a saw a few demonstrations by Microsoft, on WinDays, TechEd and community conferences XNA Studio could solve a lot of my problems.
So off to install XNA. First to download the installer, some 80 MB download free from microsoft, and lets try it. But then i find out, I dont have a habit of reading those readmes and so on, that you need Visual Studio Express C# SP1 installed. So I figure this has to be an install bug, since I have Visual Studio Team System SP1 installed on my laptop. But <span style="font-weight: bold;">no </span>Microsoft decided that for now it would only support the Express version of Visual Studio for use with XNA Studio. So i download the C# Express version, and install it the same with SP1. Next i find out that the Express version does not support my favorite add in ReShaper, which i find as an essential tool for any serious development. But luckily Microsoft is considering running XNA Studio on other version of VS in the future.
So to recap, to start with XNA you need:
1. Visual Studio Express C# (no exception, there is no hack to run XNA on other versions of VS)
2. Visual Studio Express SP1
3. XNA Studio 1.0 refresh
The OS on my laptop is Vista, and XNA Game Studio does not by its spec support Vista, but fearless as I am, I did it anyway, so far I did not have any problems.
Loaded the SpaceWar example and started to try to figure it out 🙂 keep you posted

Not a fan of double-headers. One race day per month is perfect. Taking up a full weekend for kart racing would be too much IMO. Have other stuff to do on the weekend!I am OK with dropping February. That race is such a crap shoot and more often then not it's a miserable race. I wouldn't mind moving it to July and having it as a night race! That keeps the 10 race schedule but just starting in March instead of Feb...
If the 8 race schedule is better for CMP, dropping Feb and December would likely be the way to go...
Dave, Just wondering how the scheduling is going for 2015?

SAN FRANCISCO: Google on Monday fired the author of an internal memo defending the gender-gap in Silicon Valley tech jobs as a matter of biology, according to media reports.The move, which was not officially confirmed by Google, splashed fuel on a burning controversy about whether "political correctness" at the company was stifling free speech.Google told a French wire service that the company "can't comment on individual employee cases."In an email to employees, Google chief executive Sundar Pichai supported the right of employees to express themselves, saying that much of what was in the memo is fair to debate, according to a copy of the message obtained by the wire service."However, portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace," Pichai said in the email."To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK."Google chief executive Sundar PichaiPichai noted that the company code of conduct calls for 'Googlers' to do their utmost to create "a culture free of harassment, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination.""The author had a right to express their views on those topics," Pichai said."We encourage an environment in which people can do this and it remains our policy to not take action against anyone for prompting these discussions."Recode, Bloomberg and other media outlets on Monday reported that the author of the controversial internal document was fired.– Martyr or sexist? –The news became a hot topic at Twitter, with some calling the employee a martyr and railing against Google for punishing him for expressing a view that went against Silicon Valley's efforts to promote diversity at tech companies.The leaked internal document that triggered the controversy claimed "biological causes" explained the lack of women in tech industry leadership roles.The screed — dubbed "sexist" by US media — went viral, reviving the simmering debate over a culture of sexism and lack of diversity in tech sectors."I'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don't see equal representation of women in tech and leadership," read the 3,000-word fulmination.According to the author, natural aptitudes of men allow them to become better computer programmers, while women have more "openness directed towards feelings and aesthetics rather than ideas" — meaning they "prefer jobs in social or artistic areas."In response to the leaked memo, Danielle Brown, Goole's new vice president of diversity, told employees in an email that "it's not a viewpoint that I or this company endorses, promotes or encourages.""I found that it advanced incorrect assumptions about gender." she said.The controversy comes as increasing numbers of women are going public with complaints of gender-based discrimination in Silicon Valley.Currently some 69 percent of Google's employees are men, according to the company's latest figures, a proportion that rises to 80 percent when it comes to technology jobs.In 2016 at Facebook just 27 percent of senior executives were women. At Apple, around 30 percent of total employees are women.
