My child's high school academic workload is laden with writing. From economics to U.S. history, assigning essays is her teachers' preferred way to ascertain her level of knowledge in the subject. When she comes to me for help, we always start with discussing the essay objective. Is the purpose to inform, persuade or entertain the reader?
A recent study review with her got me thinking about the purpose of writing in the B2B world. With the proliferation of content, it's critical for marketers to develop messaging with a specific purpose. More than ever, technology has enabled marketers to employ a variety of content formats (from single-word to long-form) and interaction types (static like print or dynamic like social) to deliver messaging that connects with their audiences. But the ultimate goal of messaging is to compel buyers to progress through the buyer's journey.
The SiriusDecisions Buying Cycle has three phases: education, solution and vendor selection. A buyer persona is a marketing respondent and prospect in the early stages, a sales lead and a sales opportunity in the later stages, and hopefully a customer at the end of the buyer's journey.
The SiriusDecisions Messaging Nautilus is designed to help B2B marketers create messaging that not only connects with buyer personas but also promotes movement through the buyer's journey. Of the eight arcs (or steps) in the messaging methodology, two are especially aligned to the phases:
Because the ultimate purpose of B2B messaging is to compel the audience to buy, it's critical to create messaging that aligns to the buyer's journey, addresses the buyer knowledge requirements and promotes movement through the buying cycle.

LePage "boycotting" NFL After Ray Rice Suspension
Here is the text of the article:
Here is the text of the article:
I especially love how Paul LePage does NOT mince words. (He has gotten a TON of political flack because of that fact) This line sums it up, I think:You can add Governor Paul LePage to the long list of people criticizing the National Football League and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for being soft on domestic violence. LePage blasted the NFL and Goodell over their punishment of Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice. Rice was captured on video in February dragging his unconscious fiancee, Janay Palmer, out of an elevator in Atlantic City after he allegedly assaulted her. Rice was suspended two games by the league. Rice and Palmer are now married and Rice has publicly apologized for the incident.
Thursday morning, on the George Hale-Ric Tyler radio program LePage said he was "incensed" with anger over the "slap on the hand" for Rice saying he's "boycotting" the NFL and sending Goodell a letter to express his outrage.
"They care so little about our women and our children that they're going to hire these barbarians who go and hit their wives and their kids and they're gonna get a slap on the hand? And some guy got a year for smoking pot? You know what I think he (Ray Rice) should have got? A three year suspension. The team should have taken him out behind the back shed and taken care of him. I'm so incensed about it it's unbelievable. I'm so mad that we would allow that and he would get a slap on the hand like that.," LePage said.
Critics of the suspension argue Goodell missed a golden opportunity to send a strong message to the league that domestic violence was not going to be tolerated.
What are your thoughts on the NFL's decision to give such a light punishment?The team should have taken him out behind the back shed and taken care of him.

If you have a child at home under the age of 18, and your child has access to the web, you probably subscribe to, or have at least considered subscribing to an internet filtering service. We have had at least seven different filters over the years. You would think that they would all be pretty similar, and that any one of them would work as well as another one, but that's really not the case.
We started back in our naïve years with a wonderful "free" parental filter that came with our DSL service. We were already paying $19.95 a month for internet service, which seemed like a travesty at the beginning of the new millennium, so we were thrilled to have a free filter thrown in as a bonus. Thrilled, that is, until I walked by and found my six year old playing online poker with presumably more mature strangers who misspelled curse words and probably opened beer bottles with their teeth. Much to Uber's dismay, the poker game was quickly over, and so was our relationship with our free filter. (I have to admit, I was reluctant to stop the game though…the little guy was beating the pants off poor Git'erdun877)
Filter #2 was a respectable filter that we purchased at Staples, and installed on our family computer. It had the name of something along the lines of Cyber Alert, and it worked remarkably well. So well, in fact, that my husband and I were no longer able to check the news, our church website, or even an email from R-T's aunt (who was 78). Apparently there was a crack in the Pentagon security system, a weed problem in the church parking lot, and an issue with dear auntie's muscle cream, which didn't seem to penetrate deeply enough to give her any real relief. Needless to say, that program was a bust.
On to other filters. There was the one that my son figured out how to change the administrator password on (when it asked me if I wanted to keep my password as 'Pokemon', I started to catch on). There was a filter that froze our computer every time we logged on – – but boy was the security tight on that one. And then there was that terrific filter that recognized "skin" and would blur it out in images to avoid accidentally viewing porn. I don't know if it frustrated R-T or the boys, but it drove me up the wall. Have you ever tried to buy a swimsuit online when you had to squint sideways to make out the pattern??
Which brings us to our current filter, iProtect You. So far, so good. Not only does it block objectionable sites, but it let's me know everyone's surfing habits as well. So, as far as I know, the boys haven't been able to access bomb blueprints, gambling rings, or Pamela Anderson's bedroom webcam. It hasn't, however, blocked me from wasting hours trying to locate a swimsuit that will be slimming and flattering for a pear shaped figure. Well, I guess no filter is perfect.

Local residents are being encouraged to come into Bath this Christmas, buy all your presents and have them beautifully wrapped in designer paper before you head home, all for free.
From 10th December to 6pm on Christmas Eve, the service is on offer for everyone and is available free of charge.

The service has been launched in conjunction with city centre businesses, and arranged by the Bath Business Improvement District (BID).
Gifts will be wrapped for free, with suggested donations being made to Julian House, the local homeless charity.
The wrapping paper has been designed to celebrate the stunning city of Bath. Available in two colour palettes, red & white or black & gold, it depicts icons of the city, from Roman Baths and Laura Place to Bath Rugby posts and Minerva Owls.
The whole city has been united behind the special initiative. From students to seniors, Bath residents have volunteered to wrap presents and Suited & Booted, the film production company, have recorded the training video.
Kate Smith from The Makery has been teaching everyone to wrap and The Ivy Brasserie hosted the training event.
Milsom Place have provided shop space, Portico Designs advised on supplies and SteersMcGillanEves designed the special wrapping paper.
Allison Herbert, CEO of Bath BID, said: "We want to make sure that visitors to the city have the very best customer service that they can.
"It's a top notch service, it's free of charge and another way for us to ensure that Christmas shopping in Bath is an extra special experience.
"We have 6km of this gorgeous paper, which we worked out is just enough to cover Bath Abbey, and over 100 people expertly trained, so we are ready, willing and able to wrap presents for everyone."

Balancing the time to write, attending five classes a week, homework, studying for exams, working a full-time job, and spending time with loved ones seems to be for the talented juggler, but I am here to tell you that anyone can do it if you can learn to manage your time well. Unfortunately, many (including myself) heard the famous writing advice that in order to finish your work in progress (WIP) and to become a better writer, you have to write literally every single day. Fact of the matter is, we all have responsibilities outside our writing such as jobs, family, and school that must take priority. In addition, suffering from health complications can also affect your ability to achieve this goal. Frankly, it can be quite impossible for anyone to write every day!
First, I must offer an adjustment to the advice. I think if you plan to become a writer, you should THINK about your WIP every day. This is a much simpler way to help you stay focused on your goals. A simple drive to the grocery store or sitting in the doctor's office can be a wonderful time where you can think on what you want to do with your WIP. Whether you consider the plot, characters, or a scene you want to add/change doesn't matter. The overall goal is to get your brain fired up!
As a college student, much of my thinking throughout the day is on all the school work I want to get done by a certain time or studying for an exam I have to take soon. A great tool I learned in my Creative Writing class was to keep a small notebook with me at all times. This notebook is something you should take with you everywhere. Write down your thoughts or describe something you see that interests you. What you write down doesn't have to necessarily relate to what you are working on right now. An example could be this: you are driving to work, and you notice an old house that burnt down. It may be something you have seen a hundred times before, but you are filled with questions as to what happened to the house that caused the fire. You start to think; what if it was a faulty appliance? Some kids who thought it would be fun to play with fire? You could write this observation down in your notebook for later consideration. An entire story could be written based on this burnt down house.
While this may have nothing to do with your current WIP, you have given yourself a writing prompt. Writing prompts can be a great way to help get your creative gears rolling. You never know, maybe that burned down house could be a vital resource for a story you will work on in the future or your current one. Now, I know not everyone can carry a hefty notebook with them everywhere they go. For you, this "notebook" could be an app on your phone or tablet. There are many different apps you can use for storing your notes. Notecards can work too! Test which method works best for you. As long as you are comfortable with your format, it will benefit you.
My notebooks vary now. I have everything from full-sized notebooks, a small journal, and now a binder to separate my WIP. I spend most of my "plotting" time for my stories in between classes if I get all my homework done early. Sometimes, all I am able to write down is the description of my character's appearance or personality. The goal is to be able to jot down your ideas onto something for later consideration. Regardless of the format you use, this is the best way I've discovered to keep my writing going.
Even then, I have days to a week where I can't get the time to do it. It's frustrating and annoying, but I want to say that it's okay to take small breaks. Things come up, and you may have a couple rough days. Life happens to all of us, and there is little we can do about it. I believe as long as you eventually find the time, you will do it if you truly are passionate about it. Writing is not for the faint of heart and it can seem impossible to do it as regularly as you want. My best advice is to organize your schedule. Set aside time to write and take advantage of the down time you have in between classes, work, or whatever else you need to get done that day. If all you get done is just jotting down an idea for your WIP, that's okay! As long as you keep up with it and forgive yourself when you can't do your writing, I'm positive that you will be able to reach your goals! Focus on what you need to do and what works best for you. Each and everyone one of us are different. No two writers are the same.

Dynamic duo get WorkSmart
Dynamic duo get WorkSmart
The Sydenhams are back in work – thanks to a little help from the Worksmart programme.
Married couple Emma and Boyd were looking for work for various reasons and linked in with the Newground team at an open event at Accross in September.
Two months later, they were both starting new jobs!
Worksmart is an employability programme delivered through Newground CIC and funded through the RE:VISION charity supported by our partners Procure Plus.
Whilst at the open event Emma asked whether we could also help her husband who was also out of work. It was apparent that Emma really wanted a chance of finding employment for herself and her husband Boyd.
Boyd had excellent employment history however was struggling to find the right roles and achieve interviews.
Within a few weeks we had exciting position come through to the team and we were able to put forward Boyd for the post. He then went on to be successful in gaining a full time warehouse / driving position on a permanent contract.
Emma was also put forward for several roles and was recently successful in achieving a full time position in a customer service role; again this is a permanent contract.
This is an amazing result as Emma was very unsure whether she could return to work as her confidence was and self esteem were very low.
However, through support from the team at Newground and the use of My Work Search software Emma was able to build her confidence and realise that she did have lots of transferable skills that companies were looking for.
Adam Doyle, Community Employment Advisor, said: "The Newground team first met Emma in September. This means that within two months we have managed to secure employment for both Emma and her husband, meaning that they can look forward to a positive Christmas and a new start.
Emma added: "I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the staff for all you support during our employment search. I appreciate all the efforts you guys have made and I believe your support has assisted both myself and Boyd in gaining employment."

How did Erin Andrews do on 'Dancing With the Stars'?
Last night's 18th season premiere of Dancing With the Stars (read EW's full recap here) was chock full of cha-cha-cha changes — the tallest and loudest of which was new cohost Erin Andrews, who has swept in to give Planet Mirrorballus the sports-arena treatment it apparently deserves. Unlike the somewhat robotic (yet beautiful) eveningwear paper doll she replaced (Brooke Burke Charvet), Erin wasn't afraid to muscle her way through post-dance chit chat with the couples and ask ask questions beyond "How do you feel?"
Throughout the show I think we saw much more of Erin than we did of Tom Bergeron! That is never a good idea, to edge out the Berge. But I get that they were giving Erin some wiggle room (metaphorically speaking — realistically there's no way she could move in that red shellac gown) to test the Celebriquarium waters.
Erin's presence definitely provides an energy boost up in the reconstructed Celebriquarium (or "skybox" to commoners). Or rather, Erin's already-amped-up energy is able to match that of the dancers who just performed. One of the reasons Brooke's skybox interviews never really worked is that she maintained such perfect composure — and yet the hoofers who come clomping up the stairs are out of breath and pumped up with adrenaline. They're athletes! (They're trying.) Erin is at home around athletes.
It was a good, if a bit trying-too-hard first effort. I think once Erin loosens up and understands it's better to let people talk than nervously yell over them — because after all, the show is not about her — she'll go over a lot more smoothly.
And it'd be great if Erin could start ignoring whoever is yelling into her ear to follow up with questions about the pairs' burgeoning sexual chemistry. I cringed when she asked, "How was it dancing in front of your girlfriend with these distracting hips?" while gesturing to Cody Simpson's bombshell partner Witney Carson. Ew! No. Why. We'd just sat through a rehearsal package painstakingly establishing the fact that Witney is single and Cody is attached — and now this? Note to DWTS: Viewers don't want to see the on-screen partnerships mess with the behind-the-scenes relationships. That's just nuts, and frankly a little insulting!

Power to Mortals
March 1, 2013 Editor 0
Never in the history of humanity has man had more power at his hands to influence the world in which he lives.
Man now harnesses tools that were not even imagined a century ago to predict weather, plan and build smart cities 100 years into the future, and solve social-economic problems such as crime and poverty.
How does he do this?
Using supercomputers to crunch mega data, making sense of tiny individual data bits that alone do not make sense, but when collectively explored and analyzed, suddenly form a big map of patterns, trends and new information.
And this – is where the real genius is. Suddenly, we have tool with which we can solve vexing problems, intelligently.
But data, on its own, does not make sense. Someone or something has to get it all together, and crunch it (process it) into meaningful information. Super computers give man the ability to do this.
Say you take one server, add another ten. Then trick them into thinking they're one machine, by installing software that controls each of these nodes as one. (Individual computers are known as nodes). (Like a puppeteer's strings controlling different parts of the puppet.) And each node has no idea that it is a node of any sort – it thinks it's a processor – and the OS installed on them sees them as one unit.
This is parallel processing at its simplest – a series of computers doing several tasks as one large unit. Together.
This is comparable to a large ship. One engine alone cannot power the ship. So what they do is split the task of powering that one large ship amongst four engines. The engine doesn't have to run at full capacity – but if it did, the overall output would be more than one ship with one engine alone. This can be applied to the concept of supercomputing.
"The exciting bit – the meat and potatoes so to speak, is how you use data to discover new things."
For example, if you analyze traffic trends in Kenya, you'd see traffic increases before a big event or before a change of weather. All these unhidden data needs a super computer to go through them very fast, and analyze trends invisible to you. What was once random is now part of a pattern that can be used to print a map to predict phenomena.
"Suddenly, mere mortals now have the power to predict events before they happen, and manage them in real time."
Right now, the changes in weather are extreme and it looks as if it is coming from nowhere. But – pull together all the weather data over several decades and the patterns make sense fast.
"As anyone who manages a super computer center will tell you, it is not about the tech – its about what you can do with it…
Academia from different fields are in a unique position to take advantage of this. Not in the least because their minds can wield such power. Fields such as medicine, chemistry, economics, statisticians, meteorological departments, police, researchers and…journalists have been given a platform to crunch data.
The limits have been knocked out – and only limitation is your imagination.
Project Blue Brain – simulating the human mind
The initial goal of the project, completed in December 2006, was the simulation of a rat neocortical column, which can be considered the smallest functional unit of the neocortex (the part of the brain thought to be responsible for higher functions such as conscious thought).
"A longer term goal is to build a detailed, functional simulation of the physiological processes in the human brain: "It is not impossible to build a human brain and we can do it in 10 years," Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project said in 2009 at the TED conference in Oxford.[4] In a BBC World Service interview he said: "If we build it correctly it should speak and have an intelligence and behave very much as a human does."
A section of the brain has a billion neurons just to blink. And this is for a rat. For a human being, this is way more. So you can imagine the sheer power required of the Blue Gene supercomputer to map the human brain .
The good news is – we have one right here in Kenya.

While we might not be at this level yet, the potential is vast. From traffic analysis – help designers build better and intelligent roads, (The traffic problem is periodic. We all know when peak traffic is, we're like animals, when something happens and we all run for our cars…) All these behaviors can be predicted and help engineers design better roads.
So at iHub Cluster, here's how we're leveraging on the super computer we've built, and how we're engaging different partners to crack some of the socio-economic problems facing the region.
An important aspect of this is partnerships and collaboration – if different institutions could combine muscle and work on large-scale projects, a lot can be achieved.
iHub Cluster for example, is working with the Praxis Group, and Brain Trust Strategies to kick off a Data Blog where analysts and economists work to find correlations and patterns within large sets of data. The findings will all be published on the blog, to create general interest in analytics as a practice and create use cases for the cluster. (Read about this here) If you would like to participate, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
Admittedly, harnessing data will not be the panacea of all socio-economic errs, but – it will go a long way towards better decisions, better planning, better strategy. (Read about the limitations of What Data Can and Cant Do)
Here's a technical deep dive we put together on the iHub Super Computer. It shows what software the computer is running, how its been put together and how it all works together.

ELDER PATRIOT – Donald Trump was almost universally mocked when he raised concerns that the 2016 presidential election could be rigged because of the number of illegal aliens that were registered to vote.
Trump's contention was buttressed when investigative journalist James O'keefe exposed the Clinton campaign's highly developed voter fraud network.
After Trump became president he announced his attention to conduct a complete audit of our voting system to ensure its integrity for future elections. Rather than rally behind their new president, leaders of his own party condemned the idea with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell saying that he wouldn't authorize even a single dollar for the effort. That seemed awfully curious considering that Republicans are always barking about Dems' cheating at election time.
Well guess what? A new study conducted by New Jersey research group Just Facts has presented statistical evidence that as many as 5.7 million non-citizens may have voted for Barack Obama in 2008.
President James D. Agresti explained that his team looked at data from an extensive Harvard/YouGov study that every two years questions a sample size of tens of thousands of voters.
Just Facts analysis of the data estimated that as many as 7.9 million noncitizens were illegally registered that year and 594,000 to 5.7 million voted in 2008.
Agresti said his company relies on detailed analytics and its findings are based on a more conservative margin of sampling error and a methodology than required in an effort to balance.
Just Facts' model is built to account for both sides in the illegal voting debate: those who say it happens a lot and those who say the problem nonexistent.
When Aresti's findings are factored together with the high-developed 2016 Clinton voter fraud conspiracy it's not hard to understand President Trump's concerns.
After the 2016 election we pointed out that the numbers coming out of California defied logic. Across the other 49 states Donald Trump won 51% of the vote but California reported that Hillary Clinton garnered 67% of the vote there.
At the time we questioned whether a late-night strategy had been executed in accordance with the demands of John Podesta to provide Hillary with the face-saving claim that she won the popular vote. They assumed no won would ever check the California vote total since the election had already been called for her opponent.
Now it appears that is more likely the case than not.
President Trump stuck his neck out when he claimed how many voters did so illegally, even claiming to have won the popular vote, "if you deduct the millions of people who voted."
It seemed irrelevant and unnecessarily narcissistic at the time but Donald Trump didn't run for president to enhance his resume – he was and remains determined to drain the swamp and fix Washington for future generations.
Defying his critics, President Trump tapped Vice President Mike Pence and Kansas Secretary of State Kris W. Kobach to establish a commission to study voter fraud and suppression, just last month.
Now let the chips fall where they may.

A high school thesis project evolved into an odyssey that brought a University of Virginia student from rural Virginia in touch with her passion on the other side of the world.
Olivia Grotenhuis, a third-year student majoring in foreign affairs and East Asian studies, spent her summer in Gwangju, South Korea, studying the Korean language and culture at Chonnam National University as part of the U.S. State Department's full-immersion Critical Language Scholarship program. During her two months there, she gained insight into Korean culture and politics at a time it was periodically taking center stage of world attention.
The Korean peninsula first intrigued Grotenhuis as a student at Veritas Press Academy, an online classical education high school. She wrote her senior thesis on that region after reading "Escape from Camp 14," about a North Korean political prisoner who was born in captivity and is the only person known to have escaped from this particular camp.
"The book really shocked me because I didn't know anything about North Korea, or even South Korea," she said. "For my thesis project, I decided I was going to challenge myself to figure out why the U.S. is so preoccupied with North Korea. I realized this was my passion."
Grotenhuis thinks living in rural Madison County (estimated population: 13,115) intensified her curiosity about Korea.
"If Korean people care about it, that's normal, but if you're a white person from Madison County asking those questions, you are automatically an anomaly," she said. "You're strange for wanting to know those answers. There seemed to be a lot of fear, and I wanted to know why people were very afraid of this small country on the other side of the world. The more I looked into it, the more interesting and complex the issue actually was."
After high school, Grotenhuis worked for a year at Liberty for North Korea, a nonprofit organization that rescues and resettles North Korean refugees. She then decided to study Korean in college, enrolling in Northern Virginia Community College's Annandale campus, the only one that offered Korean. She moved to Centreville, which has a large Korean population.
"Centreville is pretty much as close as you can get to living in Korea while still living in Virginia," she said. "It helped me explain while I was in Korea how I knew so much about Korean food and how I had so many interactions with Korean people."
She transferred to UVA as a second-year student, studying the Korean language, but she was unable to speak it.
"I could write, I could read, I could do some listening, but it wouldn't come out," Grotenhuis said. "I didn't have a practiced voice. And I got it in my head maybe I was not cut out for learning languages; maybe Korean is too hard, maybe I started too late in life. For me, [the Critical Language Scholars program] was my last-ditch effort to see if I could do this. If CLS didn't work, I may have to give up."
Grotenhuis was pessimistic, but the Critical Language Scholars program has a policy that very much limited her time to speak English, and her host family spoke only Korean.
"You have to speak Korean," she said. "Within a week I was speaking sentences, which I had never done before. It was amazing. I wanted to cry I was so happy. I started to forget English words at one point because I was just using the Korean all the time."
While in Gwangju, Grotenhuis examined the relationship between North and South Korea and their relationships with the United States. North Korea has long been a center of attention because of its nascent nuclear weapons program and its bellicose behavior.
At UVA, North Korea has been an issue because of the case of Otto Warmbier, a McIntire School of Commerce student imprisoned while traveling in the north. He died in June 2017, days after being released in an unresponsive state and a month after he would have graduated from UVA.
"Otto Warmbier's death was incredibly tragic," Grotenhuis said, "but it is also emblematic of the widespread ignorance that Americans have had about North Korea and how bad the human rights situation is in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"What happened to Otto Warmbier gave me more motivation to do something like CLS because I want to be that kind of liaison for the non-Korean community. I want to help other people understand these issues so we can prevent instances such as the Warmbier case from happening again."
But Grotenhius warned that the Warmbier case is not an isolated one.
"As UVA students, when we think about someone like Otto Warmbier – as tragic as that is – think of that times 100,000, because that is how many people are in the prisons in North Korea and go through whatever he went through every single day," she said. "It is still happening and that is unbelievable. It is like this other Holocaust that is happening."
Grotenhuis said the North Korean government has a three-generation punishment policy where not only is a malefactor imprisoned, but his or her parents and children are as well.
"It is unbelievably cruel," Grotenhuis said. "A lot of people don't seem to know about that side of it. There are the nuclear weapons and yes, we should talk about that, but then there is this whole human rights thing that also should be talked about."
While much of the world has focused on North Korea's nuclear weapons, Grotenhuis said people need to view it from the Korean perspective.
"We don't ask ourselves, 'Why do they have nuclear weapons?'" Grotenhuis said. "We just say they shouldn't have them. But a state like North Korea has nothing but a nuclear program. That keeps other countries at bay; that keeps the United States away; that keeps South Korea away."
She said while the North Koreans have a large army, studies have shown that because it is malnourished and ill-equipped, it would be no match for the South Korean army.
"The North Koreans have no economy," she said. "They can't sustain themselves with their natural resources. They are completely propped up by countries such as China. Of course they are going to keep their nuclear program because they would be completely illogical not to keep it."
But the Korean "crisis" waxes and wanes and Grotenhuis is concerned that people's attention on Korea evaporates when the fearful headlines fade away.
"I think it is a mistake to only think about it when there are headlines, because the issue is so complex," she said. "The nuclear issue is not just, 'Is North Korea going to fire a missile?,' or 'Are they going to sell their technology to failed states?' That is why I am so passionate about this issue, because there are so many ways it affects our foreign policy that we don't even think about."
Still, Grotenhuis' summer was not spent obsessing over the nuclear north. Nor do the South Koreans worry as much about the situation, having become acclimated to the division of the country.
"It has been more than 60 years," Grotenhuis said. "Especially for people my age that I encountered, what is happening now is part of the normal, the ebb and flow of diplomatic relations. Sometimes there are moments when it is really tense, and sometimes there are moments when it seems there is going to be a breakthrough. I think for them this is how it is always going to be."
And while there was the vague threat of a nuclear strike, Grotenhuis felt personally safe in Gwangju, which she found to be a very convenient city.
"There are convenience stores on every block, which was great, and businesses and restaurants are all open very, very late," she said. "And it is also an incredibly safe country. For the first time in my life I would just go walking around at night and I would not be looking over my shoulder feeling like I was going to get mugged or something. As a female, I felt such a freedom living there, even though it's this big city. You just feel like everyone has your back."
Where her safety was at risk was in crossing the street.
"Cars don't yield to pedestrians," she said. "It was a change coming from Charlottesville, where everyone walks into the road and you just know the cars are going to stop. Especially UVA students. We are so bad with this, we just walk right into the road; we're like squirrels. But going to Korea, I remember my host sister would pull me away from the road because I would walk out and she'd say, 'You're gonna die.'"
Grotenhuis, who wants to work on U.S.-Korea policy, possibly for the State Department, plans to return to South Korea for a longer period than two months.
"I am waiting until I have all my ducks in a row before I go back, because I want my experience to be even richer than my first experience was," she said.
Traveling and living in South Korea has instilled in Grotenhuis a sense of self-confidence.
"I am a lot more resilient than I would have guessed," Grotenhuis said. "I come from a family of people who are not travelers, not even within the U.S., and the idea of me getting on an airplane and going literally to the opposite end of the Earth was very terrifying for many people in my family. It was terrifying for me, too. Now coming back to the States, I have so much more confidence in my ability to problem-solve and be OK in unfamiliar situations."

The FDA has identified 49 cases of severe liver injury -- 14 of which proved fatal -- in patients taking the rheumatoid arthritis drug leflunomide, which is marketed as Arava. The agency said in a July 13 safety announcement(www.fda.gov) that it has responded by adding information about severe liver injury to the boxed warning of the product's package label.
The FDA previously had required a boxed warning stating that the medication was contraindicated in pregnant women or women of childbearing potential who were not using reliable contraception.
The following information about liver injury was added to the boxed warning:
- patients with elevated liver enzymes (i.e., alanine transaminase, or ALT, levels greater than two times the upper limit of normal) and those with pre-existing liver disease should not receive leflunomide;
- liver enzymes should be monitored at least monthly for three months after starting leflunomide and at least quarterly thereafter;
- if ALT levels rise to greater than two times the upper limit of normal while a patient is on leflunomide, the medication should be stopped, a cholestyramine washout should be performed to speed removal of the drug from the body, and follow-up liver function tests should be conducted at least weekly until the ALT value is within normal range; and
- caution should be used in patients who are taking other drugs that can cause liver injury.
The FDA's review of adverse events reported from August 2002 to May 2009 indicate that 46 of the 49 patients who had severe liver injury were taking other medications that have been associated with liver injury, including methotrexate, which is marketed as Rheumatrex and Trexall; tumor necrosis factor blockers; hydroxychloroquine, which is marketed as Plaquenil; acetaminophen; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs; and statins.
In addition, 14 patients had pre-existing liver disease, such as acute or chronic infection with hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus, and/or a history of alcohol abuse.
Although many patients were taking other drugs or had pre-existing liver disease, the FDA concluded that the use of leflunomide was associated with the development of severe liver injury in the affected patients.
The agency advised physicians that only patients for whom the anticipated therapeutic benefit is expected to outweigh the risk of severe liver injury should be considered for leflunomide treatment.
Patients who experience signs or symptoms of severe liver injury -- itching, yellow eyes or skin, dark urine, loss of appetite, or light-colored stools -- should contact their physicians right away, according to the FDA.
Side effects associated with leflunomide use should be reported to the FDA's MedWatch program(www.accessdata.fda.gov).

Connecting Dashboard Filters to Excel Services Pivot Table Report Filters
When integrating Excel Services spreadsheets into your dashboards you will want to connect any report filters used in live pivot tables up to the filters on your dashboard so that the dashboard filter can drive the pivot table filter. The series of steps below will guide you in setting up this scenario.
1. First, you need to set up your pivot table in Excel. Once your pivot table has been created you need to name any cell that contains a report filter that you want to link to a dashboard filter. Do this by selecting the cell and then typing in a name in the name box. In the below example, I click on cell B4 which contains my filter values and then name that cell GeoFilter.
2. Optionally select the cells that contain your pivot table and name this collection of cells - this allows you to only show this object in the dashboard.
3. Publish the file to Excel Services. Make sure to select the Excel Services Options button in the dialog to bring up the following screen.
4. On the Show tab, select which objects you wish to publish and on the Parameters tab make sure and add the filters that you named in step 1.
5. From Dashboard Designer create your report view. Selecting the SharePoint Site, Document Library and Excel Workbook. Once you select the workbook the Workbook Parameters will be automatically populated as long as step 4 was followed. Optionally enter the Item Name if you specified a name for the object you want included. Save and publish this view.
6. From Dashboard Designer add your new Excel Services report view to a dashboard and create a filter based on the same data as your Excel Services pivot table.
7. Add your filter to the dashboard. To connect the filter, drag the Member Unique Name from the filter to the Excel Services report view. In the link dialog, select the Parameter defined in the workbook to map the filter to:
8. Save, Publish and Export your dashboard. The Pivot Table should receive the filter value from a dashboard filter value change and update accordingly.

Sitting outside the RV before sun-up this morning. Chilly, around 50 degrees and no wind. The sky is brightening but no sunlight hitting the trees high all 'round us.
Strong steady whishing noise from through the trees south and west of our RV, must be Sol Duc River. The river isn't large or deep, but has that nice whitewater rushing water sound. Debbie says this one sounds like white noise.
Before leaving bed, grabbed a camera to capture this view from the pillow through our bedroom window. The nice part of camping in the forest or a field almost anywhere — leave the shades open at night.
No streetlights burning brightly in, just pitch black everywhere. It helps we're under a new moon and amongst densely-packed tall trees. Clear skies, unlike most times last week in Lacey, if we look straight up in this small clearing.
We drove 101 north from Olympia along Hood Canal (not a canal at all, but the sole glacier-formed fjord in continental USA, 600 feet deep and huge) through a series of small towns. Much of this we recognized from our visit two years ago with a WBCCI caravan, National Landmarks West.
Through Port Angeles we drove and onward alongside Lake Crescent, a large and deep glacier-formed beautiful blue lake ringed with tree-covered slopes. We were surprised not a single sailboat was on the lake despite steady winds across the water (We read later, personal watercraft not allowed on this lake). The day is a little cool – are they awaiting a warmer day?
The road from 101 into Olympic National Park evoked memories of Natchez Trace in Tennessee, a paved long and narrow road through the forest. But this road to Sol Duc Resort Campground is through old growth Douglas firs, every other one seems six feet and greater diameter.
More than 95 years ago was built a four-story resort at these Sol Duc hot springs. The picture of the resort evokes thoughts of the grand destination lodges built by the American and Canadian rail line companies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. But this one lasted only four years before it burned to the ground.
Sol Duc has two campgrounds, the National Park one and the "Resort" one. The latter has 20 sites and electricity and water hookups but no comfort stations or toilets. The former has 82 sites, no hookups but vault toilets. The national park one has paved roads and sites. The resort is dirt and rocks.
We're in the Resort campground. For the $32 per night price we were expecting to be a little wowed. Far from it, though — this is a gravel parking lot with railroad ties defining camping spaces between 13 and 18 feet wide. And the utilities post sits at the back edge, each serving two sites.
Space is tight, sites are not deep enough to park the truck lengthwise in front of the trailer and aren't wide enough to park the truck crosswise. We moved our truck this morning to provide a departing camper necessary clearance.
The Resort is a small two-story lodge building, pools, and collection of small KOA-style cabins situated on the other side of the river, 300 yards from our campsite. Three 25' diameter wading pools are the hot springs. And a 60' long unheated swimming pool attracted no adults during our brief reconnoitering.
The "lodge" houses offices, a gift shop, a small camping store with beer, charcoal lighter, firewood, marshmallows (the things you wish you hadn't forgotten). And there's a restaurant. But no wifi, no lounge area to hang out. We're a lot surprised an area calling itself a resort lacks these.
Lest you think we've lost sight of who and where we are, we're not complaining about the accommodations. We only are commenting. Television holds no attraction for us, wifi and phone service are conveniences we're fine without. Well, sort of fine, we think. But how will we spend our time?
We're in a designated wilderness area and need to take full advantage of the benefits. This is an incredibly gorgeous national park. We're glad we're here. Numerous hiking trails provide us opportunities for seeing more of the old growth forest, and the river's falls, and some nearby lakes. We've met nice folks. And it IS dark and quiet at night, as we said.
Let's go hiking! The resort provides a trails map indicating several hikes and mileages. Our first day out we don't need a long hike, maybe a couple or three miles. We chose one listed as 0.8 miles each way. It doesn't say, and we didn't check, the starting location. It would have been a good idea.
The trail is Sol Duc Falls trail from one side, and is named Lovers Lane loop from the other end at the resort. It's a very nice walk up one side of the river to the Sol Duc River falls and back the other side of the river through old growth forest. On closer inspection, after our hike, the map shows distances for each trail from the trail's respective trailhead. Makes sense, but means you either drive to the trailhead or add the walking distance from campsite to trailhead.
Our hike was six miles, more than we bargained for our first day out but still a nice walk in the woods. Second day we hiked the ancient grove nature trail, less than a mile-long loop. It is beautiful and we would have enjoyed another mile or two of it. Still, we deserve a long soak in the hot springs, right? We paid $12 per adult for all the soaking we can take in a day
One pool is pretty warm at 104 degrees, one is less so, and one is barely warm. We spent over an hour in the warmest pool, kneeling on the bottom so water was up to our necks. The pool was so crowded, at 4:30 in the afternoon, we felt like sardines packed in a tin. A movement back or left or right and we bumped into someone.
And four of five of the someones were non-English speaking. We thought we recognized Russian, German, and Japanese, but we weren't certain. We heard almost no English amongst the over one hundred people crammed into this warm pool. Fortunately, 5:00 rolled around and enough people trickled out to make more room in the pool.
Our third day we hiked to Mink Lake, a 5.2 mile round trip with 1,500 feet elevation gain. We passed through stands of very tall Douglas firs and were amazed at the great piles of fallen trees we frequently saw from the trail. The hike up to Mink Lake took a little longer than the return trip for only one reason: blueberries.
We stopped ten minutes on our way up to pick and eat blueberries. Most were not fully ripened but we each ate a half-cup of pretty good berries. We couldn't have denied it either — our hands were deeply stained from some of the ripe berries.
Mink Lake seemed small, maybe an acre or two at most. An old backpacker's shelter and fire ring provide one of several designated campsites for backpackers. Blueberry bushes abound on the lake's south shore and the berries are larger and in clusters instead of singles like we found on the trail.
We donned our fleeces and sat in the very cool afternoon long enough to share a snack bar. Sunlight was fading and air temperature, which hadn't exceeded 60 degrees, was falling. So we packed up and hiked back down to our silver home at Sol Duc Resort.
Absent any wifi, we spent more time reading, hiking, and writing. We're craving connectivity, but appreciating the calm and un-busy nature of our days here. This has been a nice visit in a very nice forest. Maybe the resort has it figured out after all?
Today, Labor Day, it's pouring down rain in Forks, 15 miles west of Sol Duc. We're in the Thriftway Outfitters/Grocery/Bakery, adjacent to the Dew Drop Inn (yep, another one). Every other storefront in Forks includes either a store name or a feature with "Twilight". We had no idea whatsoever, never heard of Twilight series before. Different layers of life — even frequent wifi doesn't reveal all. . .

This week's Issue | 27/05/2013 Ottawa is always a great city to visit ... filled with great little restaurants lots of museums and of course all of the parliament buildings. The RLG and I always enjoy the wonderful drive from our home to Ottawa since we detour from the regular highways to the lesser used back roads with beautiful scenery.

This week's Issue | 20/05/2013 Indeed there was no newsletter last week ... The RLG and I were in California and decided to spend Sunday morning walking the Santa Monica Pier and eventually riding the famous Carousel.

Then this past week while in Winnipeg we worked with an Organization that have taken the concept to a new maturity level, which was

Multi-millionaire Durban traffic cop - and good friend of Durban city manager "Metro Mike" Sutcliffe -Wiseman Mpisane recently began enlarging his already sizeable mansion in the upmarket suburb of La Lucia. He owns a fleet of luxury cars, and his home is already worth around R15m.
Unchallenged media reports have linked the traffic cop to taxi violence and to a failed attempt to commit murder inside the Durban High Court, which left several people dead on the pavement outside.

Whether the so called "HTC Hima" we've seen leaked/rumored last week will turn out to be the HTC One M9 — follow-up to the M8 from this year, which replaces the M7 from 2013 — is anyone's guess, but we've heard not one, but two reports talking about the upcoming 2015 HTC One, and its purported specs. Interestingly, they try to anticipate a 5.5-inch display but what we see here attached seems to be just a tad smaller.
Despite the claims, there is no way to verify whether this is indeed a 5.2-inch front glass, let alone to verify the legitimacy of the images, or the smartphone they (will) belong to. So, we'll just go with the report: the question is whether this 5.2-inch glass will be used by HTC to protect the upcoming HTC One M9. If we move to "Utopia" for a second and take all of the above for granted, the HTC One M9 will have a 5.2-inch screen, and will still be bigger than the five-inch display on the M8. However, HTC has a lot of other products on the side, which may or may not be part of the One family; this front glass can belong to any upcoming (or existent) smartphones from the Taiwanese manufacturer.

No more money drama's. Will check email at some point. Too tired tonight - weeny girl asleep since before 7pm - fell asleep on the sofa.
Pay day today so off to pay for the car tax £130 sodding quid. Other than that - a bread drama!!!!
First time in ages I purchased a loaf of sliced long life wholemeal ( Tuesday) opened it today to find that half of it was covered in mould. Weeny girl wanted cheesy toast so had to use it - the non mouldy bits what do you think I am!!! Would take it back to Morrison's if I hadn't. Oh well will have to get on with home baking!!! I should for the sake of my thighs leave the home baking for a while or keep it for special occasions!!
Am 10stone 10 sometimes 10st 8 so it is creeping down a little bit - 9st 10 would be fine Ihave decided. When in my 20's it was 8st 10 as the ideal weight but we live and learn and get older and need a more comfortable arse to sit on after another 9-5!!!!!!!!!!!! I would have been disgusted with myself for ''letting myself go'' ha ha ha
My mission is to keep the house in a reasonable state so that I can wash the kitchen floor at the weekend!!!
Am watching Three in a bed - the programme about the Bed and Breakfasts - super funky Snooze in Brighton - lots of vintage but a bit too pricey for me!!! I prefer bothy's, hostels and tents the odd caravan and late rooms for splashing out!!!

Grey Wolf: artwork from Chapter Six
acrylic on canvas = 3'h x 4'w
Dream Journal entry:
Saturday, December 27 2003
As I l lay down and ready my mind to enter the Night Shift world, I ask for an image that I can identify as a spirit guide.
The dreamtime opens, showing me earth's moon, full and shining. As the full moon always does, its gentle brilliance draws me into a peaceful and thoughtless contemplation, and so I gaze at it without expectation, just waiting.
The image begins to shift as I watch. Feathers form over the round and placid face of the shining moon, transforming it into the visage of an owl. The feathers are as softly colored as moonlight—gentle earthy umbers, buttery ochers and misty greys tinged with blue. Layer upon circular layer appear until the luminous orb is completely masked by them.
I sense a presence forming behind the mask; his essence is Native. He is completely hidden except for his eyes, which glow with wisdom, kindness and understanding. They are the amber eyes of a wolf.
A spirit guide has come to my calling. His name is Grey Wolf.

As most of you know, we opened an L.A. office last year in Santa Monica. Well, we officially signed the lease for our brand new space just this week!!
Our new address?
3583 HAYDEN AVE on the Hayden Tract in Culver City!
Just over 6,000 square feet, the space will have a 30ft x 30ft shooting stage as well as editorial bays and production areas including a mezzanine floor.
In true California style, the space makes use of three garage door roll-ups that spill out onto the expansive patio adorned by an architectural cactus garden suspended above.
Our L.A. studio currently houses award winning editor Jonathan Del Gatto, partner/co-founder James Lipetzky and up and comer Anna Patel. In addition, music video lensers Focus Creeps, will also be on the roster in Los Angeles. Stacy Paris produces.
While Foundation's Los Angeles office is currently housed in Santa Monica digs, the new space should be ready by early December.

Our short in support of same sex marriage, "Marriage Equality" was selected out of 235 entries from all across the world to show in the 2010 Lights, Camera, Help Film Festival in Austin, Texas!! Tom Pastorelle edited this piece and it was shot by Ben Chappell. But virtually everyone at Foundation touched this film in some way and we're all very proud to see it accepted to this festival! The piece was originally created for F.A.I.R. in support of abolishing Prop 8.
Early this year it was selected as one of three finalists by the E-Hero Awards selection committee for the 2010 Human Rights Campaign Gala in Los Angeles. The Gala featured U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, as well as actresses Portia DeRossi and Kathy Griffin, who received the Ally for Equality Award.
The festival takes place July 29th – 31st and Foundation L.A.'s Stacy Paris and Anna Patel will be attending the event on our behalf to conduct the Q&A after it screens.
We are proud to have been given the opportunity to contribute to the cause and thrilled that our piece has been selected for this prestigious event!

Last week, Those Who Follow was released as a paperback in Norway.
It came out, exactly one year and one day after the book was first released and reviewed. The last couple of weeks I have been working with my Italian publisher Einaudi on introducing Gli Adepti (Those Who Follow) in Italy, where the investigators Fredrik Beier and Kafa Iqbal will meet an Italian audience the first week of February.
Can't wait.

Daniel Smilek, Alexandra Frischen, Michael G. Reynolds, Cory C. Gerritsen, John D. Eastwood; What makes search for negative faces efficient? Distinguishing between pre-attentive and post-attentive processes. Journal of Vision 2006;6(6):523. doi: https://doi.org/10.1167/6.6.523.

Visual search for negative target faces among neutral distractor faces is more efficient than search for positive faces. The present experiments introduced a new search technique to dissociate between contributions of pre-attentive guidance and post-attentive template matching processes to this difference in search efficiency. In Experiment 1, participants searched for negative or positive target faces presented among varying numbers of neutral faces. Search was performed under standard viewing conditions (Exp 1a) or a new restricted viewing condition where items were occluded by black placeholders, and a given item was revealed only when a participant moved the mouse pointer over the black square (Exp 1b). Search slopes for identifying negative faces were shallower than slopes for positive faces, indicating more efficient search, but only in the standard search task. When guidance by unattended items was prevented in the new task, search was much less efficient and search slopes did not differ for the positive and negative target faces. Experiment 2 (easy pop-out search) and Experiment 3 (difficult conjunction search) yielded considerably flatter and steeper slopes, respectively, showing that the lack of a slope difference in Experiment 1b was not due to floor- or ceiling effects associated with the unique motor demands of the new method. Together, these findings support the notion that emotional information is processed pre-attentively and influences the allocation of focal attention. Furthermore, they demonstrate the utility of our new search technique for selectively investigating various influences on visual search, such as pre-attentive guidance, template matching, and perceptual grouping.
