Your purpose. Now that's a phrase that is thrown around a lot today, and that (unfortunately) creates a problem.
The more often we're exposed to virtually anything repeatedly, the more its impact on us is diluted. In fact, brain research shows that over-exposure to things that initially pleased you, surprised you or sparked your curiosity, causes you to feel less enthused or excited about that thing. For example, over-playing a favorite song can make you never want to hear it again, right?
Well, the sames applies to words or phrases, and that's what's happened to the words "your purpose". We've heard the expression used so often that it's become diluted. And what a shame! Because realizing and (as I like to say) tapping into your purpose is hugely, amazingly, incredibly important both for you and for those you serve. Once you are rooted in your purpose, you have the ability to lead and inspire others in a much bigger way!
But here's the thing. For many of us, our purpose does not seek us out. It would be nice if it did, but for most of us, sitting around and waiting for our purpose to appear is an endless wait.
The surer way to finding your purpose is to be continually moving forward – perpetual motion, so to speak – always learning, growing, seeking and sharing. And if you're anything like me (and thousands of other people!) it's while you are learning, growing, seeking and sharing that your purpose begins to appear. Not a sudden grand entrance, perhaps, but more like a gradual, sure feeling that you're on the right track – and when you are, that feeling grows stronger and stronger over time.
My purpose, I now know (after a long, long road of discovery) is to help people create products, programs and events that inspire others in a deeper way. That's why I host a retreat for women business leaders and entrepreneurs in Tuscany. It's a magical setting, combined with inspirational curriculum, that helps high-motivated women tap more deeply into their purpose, and to become an even greater inspiration for those who follow them. It's powerful stuff.
So if your purpose is eluding you, stay the course of discovery. You'll see glimpses of where you should be steering as you move forward, but the key is to keep moving forward – keep learning, growing, seeking and sharing – and watch your purpose become clearer and brighter. Love that!
By the way, if you're interested in joining a group of highly motivated, heart-centered women pursuing their true purpose in Tuscany, Italy! Jump on board the Italy Retreat for Women Business Leaders and Entrepreneurs. There are just a few slots left, and one of them could be yours! It's not just a retreat, it's a movement and we'd love to have you along. Click here.

Find the Salient Concepts in Patent Documents
The human fingerprint is the biological identity card of an individual. There are no two identical fingerprints. Any single concepts in languages also has semantic and cognitive fingerprints. They characterize in a unique, descriptive way the relevant associated concepts within that particular language.
Our cognitive semantic fingerprinting enables you to visualize the creation of your own patent database. You could easily identify the salient concepts and key words within each of many patents, thereby grouping them according to your requirements. Unlike other search systems, the words extracted by our engine are not ontologically based, but based on cognitive salient terms associated with the target terms.

The 2018 AVN MILF Performer Of The Year, Cherie DeVille, is featured on the covers of three new releases, each offering a different taste of the blonde beauty. Cherie is a versatile performer, and excels in each genre, from IR to anal to BGG threesomes.
First is last week's release of "The Dark Side of Cherie DeVille," her IR showcase from DogFart Network. This DVD contains three hours of Cherie's most notable work for DogFart, including her threesome with Abella Danger and Prince Yashua, a BBG scene that will leave little debate over Cherie's skills, a racy cuckold session, a trip to a gloryhole, and more. Cherie is a fan favorite at DogFart, and now you can see all her best scenes in one place.
Fans of Cherie's anal scenes will definitely want to see "Prime MILF Vol. 5", released today by HardX. You'll love Cherie in her little red bikini, but will love her more when it comes off and she gets an anal pounding by Mick Blue. This scene is pure sex – no storyline, just Cherie at her primal best.
On Prime MILF Vol 5, DeVille said, "It's always amazing to get to work for Mason. She lets you fuck exactly how you want, it's so much more passionate! And of course getting to work with the handsome Mick Blue didn't hurt either!"
Also available is Erotica X's "A Taste of Kink Vol. 2", in which Cherie treats her boyfriend with a sexy tease by Vienna Black, but he can only watch, but not touch.
Cherie is represented by OC Modeling. Directors and producers can contact OCM via their website for bookings. DeVille is represented by A-List Features for all dance and hosting engagements and can be booked by contacting Dave at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Lamborghini expects India sales to treble over next 3 years1 min read . Updated: 07 Mar 2018, 06:42 PM IST
With Urus, Lamborghini expects orders will double this year in India
With Urus, Lamborghini expects orders will double this year in India
Geneva: Italian super sports car maker Lamborghini expects its sales to nearly treble in India over the next 3 years, with its recently launched sports utility vehicle 'Urus' bringing in the incremental numbers.
The carmaker sold a total of 26 units in India last year. It, however, expects better sales going ahead with Urus—which it introduced in the country in January—priced at around Rs3 crore. "In terms of sales, the conservative approach is to double. It would push to be three times for sure with this car (Urus)," Automobili Lamborghini chairman and chief executive officer Stefano Domenicali told PTI on the sidelines of Geneva Motor Show.
With Urus, orders are expected to double this year in the country, he added. "Urus will help the Indian market to grow even stronger... The response we are getting in India is really fantastic," Domenicali said. India is one market which has great potential for growth, he added.
"Super sports car has limits like seasonality and infrastructure but with this car (Urus) forget it," Domenicali said. In India, Lamborghini also sells models like Aventador and Huracan.
The carmaker competes with the likes of Ferrari in the segment with cars priced at Rs2 crore and above with horse power 400hp onwards. Globally, the company sold over 3,800 units in 2017. It is targeting to sell around 7,500 units globally in the next two years.
"2017 was an incredible year for Lamborghini. The brand is getting younger and younger, meeting aspirations of people around the globe," Domenicali said. PTI

New issue of LIVES Impact: "Mental Health through Internet-basd Intervention? Using LIVIA to overcome grief"
Mental health services are rapidly adapting to the digital age, offering an increasing number of internet-based interventions such as LIVIA. Aimed at people experiencing prolonged grief symptoms due to the loss of a spouse, LIVIA offers similar advantages to other internet-based interventions. Therefore, the timing and pace of the intervention can be determined individually. Moreover, IBIs such as LIVIA also offer a high level of anonymity, removing barriers to counselling or therapy due to stigmatization.
Key messages
Internet-based interventions in mental health such as LIVIA are easy to access, affordable, offer a high degree of anonymity and reduce stigmatization associated with traditional face-to-face therapies/interventions.
Consisting of 10 weekly sessions, LIVIA has been shown to reduce grief, depression and psychological distress whilst increasing satisfaction with life among older adults experiencing prolonged grief symptoms.
- Drawing on cognitive behavioural therapy, LIVIA is effective after spousal bereavement and separation/divorce also for individuals with less severe grief symptoms, making it suitable for indicated prevention.
Find here the complete version of the policy brief.

Goldeyes' starting pitcher Kevin McGovern earned his 50th career victory on Sunday at Fargo-Moorhead.
The 30-year-old allowed two earned runs over seven innings, helping Winnipeg maintain its chances in the North Division playoff race.
"It's not easy," Goldeyes' manager Rick Forney said on achieving the milestone. "Kevin gives himself a chance to win by logging the number of innings that he does. If you can stay out there longer than the opposition's starting pitcher, then you're giving your team a chance to win."
Forty-four of McGovern's 50 wins have come in the American Association.
That total ranks fifth in league history, and the left-hander is just one win back of Kyle Ruwe and Richard Salazar who are tied for third with 45.
Former Goldeye Ben Moore amassed a league-record 55 wins while pitching for the Sioux Falls Franchise. Tim Brown, the only player in American Association history who has won three championships, is second with 54.
Sunday was also McGovern's 36th win as a Goldeye, which tied him with Rafael Gross for third place. Andrew "Ace" Walker (47) and Chris Salamida (40) rank first and second respectively.
McGovern has been one of the hottest pitchers in the league since making some mechanical adjustments in mid-June. The fourth-year Goldeye is 8-2 in his last 10 appearances with a 2.61 ERA over 58.2 innings. The Philadelphia native has lowered his season ERA down to 3.71, which is now ninth in the American Association.
Josh Mazzola, the Goldeyes' all-time leader with 90 home runs, returns to Winnipeg this week as a member of the Lincoln Saltdogs.
The Californian third baseman hit .233 with 20 home runs and 75 RBI for the Goldeyes last season before getting traded to the Atlantic League's High Point Rockers in January.
After spending a month in High Point, Mazzola returned to the American Association in early-July when he signed with Lincoln.
The 33-year-old Mazzola was an integral member of the Goldeyes' 2012 championship run and spent five years with the club overall.
With two home runs on Sunday at Fargo-Moorhead, Reggie Abercrombie has pulled within four long balls of Mazzola's franchise record.
"Reggie always shows up here at this park," Forney said. "He's always played well here. Just the environment, I think gets him excited, and he put some juice into the club Sunday."
Through Sunday, Abercrombie raised his career average at Newman Outdoor Field to .324 with six homers and 24 RBI in 37 games.
Goldeyes' outfielder Tyler Hill went into Monday hitting a team-best .357.
Having joined the team in late-June, Hill is still 15 plate appearances shy of qualifying for the American Association batting leaders.
Hill, who ran off an 18-game hitting streak in July, would otherwise rank second in the league behind Sioux Falls Canaries' second baseman Alay Lago (.360).
To appear on the average leaders, a hitter must have at least 2.7 plate appearances for every game played by his team.
Hill is on pace to begin qualifying within the next seven or eight games.
Winnipeg took a 1-0 lead in the first when Carlos Garcia tripled and scored on a James Harris groundball.
The RedHawks answered back with five long balls to score seven unanswered runs.
Correlle Prime hit a two-out, two-run home run in the bottom of the third to put the RedHawks in front.
Tim Colwell, Chris Jacobs, and TJ Bennett each homered in the fifth, while Daniel Comstock tacked on a solo shot in the eighth.
Fargo starter Tyler Pike earned the win, allowing one earned run on eight hits over seven innings.
Joel Seddon took the loss for the Goldeyes, yielding six earned runs on 10 hits in five.
F.-M.: Pike (6-2)
WIN: Seddon (2-4)
F.-M.: Prime (13), Jacobs (14), Bennett (10), Colwell (5), Comstock (7)
The RedHawks homered five times in a 7-1 win to draw a split of the four-game series.
Right fielder Tim Colwell had three hits, including a solo blast during a four-run bottom of the fifth.
Chris Jacobs' two-run homer in the fifth traveled to the opposite field and cleared the right-centre field wall on a line drive.
The Goldeyes return home Tuesday and open a three-game series against the Lincoln Saltdogs. First pitch from Shaw Park is at 7:05 p.m. The game can be heard on 93.7 FM.

Black HoleGraphic Novel - 2005
As we inhabit the heads of several key characters -- some kids who have it, some who don't, some who are about to get it -- what unfolds isn't the expected battle to fight the plague, or bring heightened awareness to it , or even to treat it. What we become witness to instead is a fascinating and eerie portrait of the nature of high school alienation itself -- the savagery, the cruelty, the relentless anxiety and ennui, the longing for escape.
And then the murders start.
As hypnotically beautiful as it is horrifying, Black Hole transcends its genre by deftly exploring a specific American cultural moment in flux and the kids who are caught in it- back when it wasn't exactly cool to be a hippie anymore, but Bowie was still just a little too weird.
To say nothing of sprouting horns and molting your skin...

A moody trip similar to the work of Junji Ito. Body horror abound.
Comparing this comic to David Lynch doesn't really hold water- only on a superficial level does it bear any resemblance. This is actually a poignant look at the disaffection of youth, told through the distorting lens of a disfiguring venereal disease ( making it more akin to William Burroughs- an acknowledged influence on Burns ). So take your time and let yourself sink into this absorbing tale- it's worth the time. It goes without saying that the art is excellent- it's Charles Burns.
The drawings are good, but as a mature adult I didn't enjoy the dialogue or stories; clearly they are meant for an adolescent audience.
A truly weird and imaginative story that takes reality and twists just ever so slightly.
Black Hole is possibly Charles Burns' better work. A massive book with as always superb artwork - all in black and white. Strong sexual contents and violence might suggest that more "mature" readers enjoy this book. Previous comments pretty well sum up the direction of this graphic novel. Teenage issues are no different today - though this story goes in a variety of unexpected directions - for the most part: sad. I don't consider Burn's work as "pick me up" books. Nevertheless kudos for a well spread - sorry for the pun - look at youth issues. This earlier work clearly shows that you don't need profanity to get a point across.
Very engaging, awesome art.
Easily one of the best graphic novels you'll ever read, Black Hole is what you would expect if David Lynch suddenly became coherent and decided to make a comic book.
Perfectly paced, it reads like a teen romance that leaves you with your guard down until some horrifying twist pushes the story to new directions.
And Burns' art just gets better and better, the panels in this book are simply beautifully rendered.
A masterpiece.
This was a little confusing at times, trying to keep the different characters straight. A lot of the scenes in this book were delightfully creepy, although one or two did make me feel uncomfortably creeped out.
A long, intense, nightmarish, noir tale told by a master of style. It's extra length works very well in its favor.
Enjoyably weird.

I am a dance artist from Glasgow working as a teacher, facilitator and performer.
I teach ballet to people of all ages and enjoy working with people who feel that ballet is 'not for them'. As a teacher I aim to support people to find a way into dance that works for them.
Currently, I'm working on an ongoing project with Janice Parker Projects and The Festival Theatre where we dance with professional dancers from the Variety Theatre era. Together we dance, teach, and perform. Performing with dancers from different generations has given me a new interest in performance - what it can be and who it is for.
I value people above anything else and want to develop a practice that is responsive and open to everyone.

At Classic Tassels and More, we celebrate all things Southern. So naturally, we like for our Christmas festivities to take on a little Southern drawl, so to speak.
I was having coffee with a friend just the other day and asked her to describe what she thought were the most important ideals of Southern style at Christmas. And so began a long and discussion on all the finer points of Christmas in the South. The words tradition, family, and food came up often during our discussion. But at the heart of it, we both agreed that the Southern Christmas was best defined by the values and memories held dear by all those who celebrated by saying "Merry Christmas Y'all!"
Although I suspect that many of those values and memories are shared with our friends far north of the Mason-Dixon line and as far west as the Gold Rush, there is something so very priceless to me about a Southern Christmas. Just thinking about all the ideas that encompass Christmas in the South makes me feel like I've come home. But that's the point behind Southern style, isn't it? Coming home.
And so it is in honor of our Southern heritage, that we share with you a few of our favorite things about a Southern Christmas:
Decorating with mason jars is a must.
And don't forget your Magnolia wreaths.
Have a visit with Grandma to get her recipe for Divinity. Better yet, spend the afternoon with her making it.
Don't forget to make a few biscuits for Christmas morning.
Make time for a Christmas tree lighting or two, perhaps at a local Southern historic home.
Be sure to say this as many times as you can.
Most importantly, don't forget the real reason for this season.
Next week, we are bringing you a Christmas home tour that you won't want to miss. But until then, Merry Christmas Y'all!

The Wait Louise Sorensen August7, 2011
Another explosion rocked the ship.
"Damage report!" The Captain braced his forelegs; coolant hissed from ruptured conduits.
"The ova carrier was breached, Captain," his First Officer said. "Life signs have ceased."
"Abandon ship," the Captain's Cortical Enhancer whispered.
"Must we?"
"I'm sorry," it replied.
"Abandon ship," the Captain ordered.
"Aren't you coming with us, Sir?"
"I'll be along, First. Go." They touched claws, then the First scrabbled along the bleeding walls of the ship to the life pods.
The Captain sang the Song of Sorrow.
"Abandon ship," his C.E. screamed. Before he got to the third verse, the ship exploded. Safe in his skull, protected by a heat resistant helmet, the C.E. saved the Captain's memory.
"Where are we?" the Captain asked it.
"On a planet. Dug in. We must report."
"And the crew? The cargo?"
"Gone… all gone."
"Did the young survive?"
The C.E. hesitated. "Captain, we must report the analysis of the enemy systems to… to… "
"C.E., we were the last. Surely you remember that." The Captain would not communicate again. His last cells winked out.
The C.E. powered itself down. Dormant for millennia, it formed a mouse and scurried onto a forest floor to collect data. Trembling at spring thunder, scenting the tang of autumn leaves, it felt terror and pain at death by sharp talons. Sleep. It woke when men felled the forest, then went back to sleep.
"Could you cut down on your smoking a little while you're here please, Mom?" Lisa said, as her mother exhaled. Lisa's newborn squirmed and screamed, red faced.
Her mother fixed her with a stare, "I'll smoke where I want, when I want, any time I want."
Lisa didn't mention the smoking again; kept the windows open and fan on, despite the heat wave. After her mother went home, she didn't phone her daughter for fifteen years.
"Hi Mom. It's Lisa. I just phoned to wish you Happy Mother's Day."
"That's nice, Sweetheart. No, I can't visit… very busy. You're welcome to come here of course."
"Hi Mom. It's Lisa… Merry Christmas."
"Thanks Sweetheart. No, I can't come to visit. Dad and I are going on a cruise."
"Hello Lisa. It's Mom. Your Father has died."
"Mrs. Williams? I'm Hal Witherspoon, your mother's lawyer. I regret to inform you that your Mother has passed away. I'm very sorry for your loss. Uh… she left her entire estate to your cousin. I'll send you the papers to sign."
"What did you do that made her so mad?" her husband Jake said, staring at bills on the kitchen table. Their dog Seth, chin on paws, looked up at Jake.
"I asked her to cut down on her smoking a little while she was here with the baby."
When their son David was seventeen, Jake took him out in the family car to teach him to drive. They were broadsided by a drunk running a red light.
Lisa didn't cry at their funeral. She took on more hours at the restaurant and a job cleaning offices at night to pay the bills.
"How're ya doing Seth old boy?" She dished out a can of dog food and filled his water bowl, rubbed him behind his ears, set her alarm clock for four hours, and collapsed on the couch. Seth ate, nosed her hand, and went to sleep.
She woke up one night to the smell of smoke. Seth guided her through the murky rooms and out of the house.
"Never seen a place go up so fast," the Fireman said. He took care of Seth until Lisa was released from questioning.
Nowhere to turn, Lisa walked east until she reached The Donut Palace.
"Sure, I'd be glad to help you out," said Bob, the owner. "Jake was a good friend. You can stay here… eat all the donuts you want… just serve during the day, and swab the deck after hours."
"Can't you talk?" Bob would ask her, but after her initial plea for help, she never said a word.
"Can't you smile?" She never smiled.
One evening she looked up from her mopping. Seth, lying in his usual place, wasn't breathing. He had laid his snowy muzzle on his paws and passed away.
She knelt down beside him, howling as tears streamed down her cheeks. Finally, she put her arm around him and went to sleep.
Bob found them curled up together the next morning; carried Lisa to her cot; wrapped Seth in a tarp and put him outside.
When Lisa looked around for her dog, Bob pointed to the back. She lifted the tarp away from his face and petted him on the neck.
"Goodbye, Sweetheart…such a good boy."
Walking up the road, she didn't stop until late that night. She followed a long driveway in the dark, bumped into a tree trunk and sat down.
Three days later she was still sitting there, watching the sun and the moon and the stars go by.
She awoke to tents, bleachers and food vendors; the annual Sheep Dog Trials. Spectators and their dogs crowded the park.
Even in the shade, it was hot. There were doggie pools all over for the performing dogs.
A Border Collie named Loyal finished his run. He staggered to the tree where Lisa was sitting, collapsed and stopped breathing.
Below, the C.E. sensed the two life forms. It sent a tendril into the body of the dog and stimulated vital systems. The dog's heart started beating again. It gasped, got up and wandered off to a doggie pool.
Where it had lain, the earth swelled up and formed an exact replica of the dog. It crept to her on its belly and licked her hand.
"It's not much, but it's a beginning," said the C.E./Captain/dog.
Lisa's eyes opened wide; she reached her hand out and petted the dog on the head.
It nuzzled her hand. "I am Loyal."

Mr. Fasawe is the Nigerian businessman mentioned in the scandal involving Mr. Jefferson, an ex-U.S. Congressman.
"We were the ones in government, and she was never a member of our party or my business associate. So, how could she have been involved in the first place," Mr. Fasawe said.
The PDP chieftain said he had a business venture with Mr. Jefferson – who is now serving a 13-year jail term in the US – which went awry "based on misplaced trust".
"I was convinced the Triple Play Cable Television Network was the future of home entertainment in Nigeria," said Mr. Fasawe.
"I invested considerably in the business – even having to approach my bank for further investments.
"Unfortunately all went down the drain having been dealing with a fraud and a dupe in the person of Jefferson who used his office and the image of his nation to convince me iGate was a reputable Telecommunication Equipment Vendor."

From the March 2016 issue of The Rotarian
I believe I am safe in assuming that most of you are not regular readers of the Journal of Leadership Studies. Nor that you had the pleasure of perusing the article in that magazine's Winter 2014 issue titled "Followership in Leadership Studies: A Case of Leader-Follower Trade Approach." To save you the trouble, let me summarize the argument put forward by the author, Petros G. Malakyan:
While an abundance of research is devoted to leaders – an entire literature, in fact –almost nothing is written about followers.
The reason for this is not particularly elusive. From presidents to mob bosses, from generals to drug lords, we love narratives that center on figures who hold, or aspire to hold, absolute power.
This bias is even more pronounced in the world of business, which is predicated on the notion that worth can be measured by your place in the pecking order. People don't think about how they function as followers because the very idea that they might be followers – as opposed to leaders-in-waiting – strikes them as insulting.
The huge and unsung irony here is that most leadership studies conclude that lousy followers wind up making lousy leaders. "He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander," is how Aristotle put it a couple of thousand years ago.
This dynamic is particularly fraught for Rotarians, because Rotary is, by its nature, filled with people who are leaders in their profession or their business who must adapt, or re-adapt, to being followers in order to function within the organization. For this reason, I've spent several weeks studying the concept of followership and trying to compile a few crucial tips to being a good follower.
It's certainly fair to ask what my qualifications are for this task, so let me set out my bona fides as a follower. Ahem. Aside from editing my college newspaper, I've never actually been a leader of anything – and that includes my family, a small, volatile start-up operation that is indisputably helmed by my wife.
What's more, I make my living mostly as a freelance writer. To remain employed, I have to be not only a good follower, but a good follower to about two dozen leaders, each of whom has a different style. The only thing they appear to have in common is a tendency to ignore my emails.
There are four essential qualities to being a good follower, at least according to Robert Kelley, a scholar at Carnegie Mellon University who enjoys the odd distinction of being the world's leading authority on followership.
A couple of these are pretty straightforward. Good followers have to be committed to the mission of the group, and they have to be competent in their given role. The more nuanced attributes are what Kelley refers to as self-management and courage. Good followers have to be able to work independently and maintain their ethical standards.
The most common misconception Kelley encounters is that being a "good follower" is tantamount to passive obedience. In fact, a good follower must be engaged in an active collaboration with the leader, and that requires critical thinking. Followers must be candid with superiors, especially in offering constructive criticism that might aid the larger cause. In the absence of critical thought, groupthink inevitably takes hold.
What's most fun about reading Kelley's work is the spot-on taxonomy he provides of follower types. Anyone who works in an office will recognize them.
The "sheep," for example, require constant supervision. The "yes people" put blind loyalty before all else. Then there are the "pragmatics," who wait until a consensus has emerged before taking a position on anything. And, of course, the "alienated," who are motivated mostly by grievance, the not-very-secret sentiment that they are the ones who should be in charge.
My sense is that most followers struggle with all of these tendencies. They are natural responses to the dilemma of the follower, which is that you are expected to devote yourself entirely to a cause that brings more glory (and riches and a bigger office) to the leader, not to you.
This expectation may be especially difficult for Americans to accept because it runs up against a basic tenet of our culture: exceptionalism. As a political system, of course, capitalism has been wildly successful in motivating people to strive for greatness. But it also defines greatness in narrow terms. To put it bluntly, you are the top dog or a nobody.
But the hallmark of what Kelley calls the effective follower is precisely this: an ability to check your ego at the door, to remain positive and self-motivated even if you're not setting the agenda. This person succeeds even without the presence of a leader precisely because she embodies the ideals of leadership.
Kelley's point is ultimately the same as Aristotle's: The key lessons of leadership are learned as a follower.
As a resident of New England for going on two decades, I've been a witness to one of the most striking exemplars of this maxim. His name is Tom Brady. The quarterback of the New England Patriots is widely regarded as one of the best players in history and the league's most natural leader: gifted, smart, hardworking, and able to inspire the best in his teammates.
But fans tend to forget how the Brady saga began. When he came to the University of Michigan, Tom Terrific was a tall, gawky kid from a private California high school. He was listed as seventh on the depth chart and spent his first two years as a backup.
Despite two outstanding seasons in college, Brady wasn't considered athletic enough to make the pros. He was lucky to get drafted late in the sixth round. He arrived in training camp with three quarterbacks ahead of him, including a star named Drew Bledsoe.
Once again, Brady accepted his role as a follower. He never complained to coaches or allowed bitterness to infect his work ethic. He carried Bledsoe's clipboard and remained eager to learn from him.
Early in his second season as a pro, Brady was called upon to replace Bledsoe, who had been injured during a game. Within a few weeks, it was clear that Brady would hold the job for the rest of his career. But the seeds of his success as a leader were planted during those months and years of toil as a backup, when Brady made the largely invisible decision to embrace the role of a follower.
This is not to say that Brady has always adhered to the highest ethical standards – the "Deflategate" saga clearly raised questions about his willingness to win at all costs. But most of those criticisms have come from outside the sport. His teammates have supported him unconditionally.
You can trace the same pattern in the lives of figures such as Joshua (who faithfully served Moses and led the Jews into the Promised Land), Winston Churchill (who remained loyal to his predecessor Neville Chamberlain but questioned his appeasement of Hitler), and even Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. They all succeeded as leaders only after having to learn the lessons of good followership.
I fibbed a bit when I said I have no experience as a leader. As a teacher, I'm technically a leader whenever I step in front of a class. But any success I've had as a teacher arises directly from my experiences as a student.
This started years ago, when I took my first writing workshop. Our leader was a novelist named John Dufresne, one of my literary heroes. I expected, and hoped, that the class would consist of Dufresne holding forth to his acolytes.
Instead, he pushed us acolytes to take the lead, serving more as a guide and swooping in to steer the conversation only when we veered off course. It was from him that I learned the essential goal of teaching, which isn't to show students how brilliant you are, but to inspire their own brilliance.
A class succeeds not because the leader has all the answers (thank God), but because followers come to recognize the value of developing their own critical faculties. Without exception, the students who learn how to critique with both ruthless and tender precision are the ones who wind up publishing books down the line. I've seen this pattern play out over and over in my own workshops.
So far as I can determine, being a good follower boils down to acceptance. You have to be OK with the idea that you can achieve simply by contributing.
To offer your full devotion as a follower isn't an act of acquiescence or resignation. On the contrary, it's evidence of a healthy ego, of a person bright enough not to need a constant spotlight.
The question for all of us is whether we can find the grace required to be a follower in good faith – to accept that cooperation is not the enemy of ambition and that recognition never brings us enduring happiness unless it comes from within.

Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em received a 5 Mic rating from The Source, and this was back when The Source was relevant. It goes without saying that this album was nearly flawless. Though it lacked the presence of major singles which it's two predecessors (Paid in Full and Follow the Leader) possessed, it was a solid release nonetheless. In fact, many would argue that Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em was the duo's most solid album. I recently found out via Peter Rosenberg & Cipha Sounds (Juan Epstein) that Large Professor was involved in the production of this album. I've got enormous respect for Extra P, so I ventured to pile up all the samples from this classic record. And here they are! Twenty-three samples including some vintage cuts by Bob James, James Brown, Skull Snaps, Lyn Collins and more! Enjoy!

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Newsroom | February 6, 2003
On February 6, 2003, Mayor Michael Bloomberg; New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal Commissioner, Judith Calogero; New York City Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner, Jerilyn Perine; and representatives from many other groups gathered at 583 Riverside Drive in Manhattan for the opening of the Dorothy Day Apartment House.
The Dorothy Day Apartment House is a turn-of-the-century building in the Washington Heights section of Manhattan. The building received HUD funding allowing the building to be converted into 70-units of permanent supportive housing for homeless and low-income families and single adults with special needs.
The apartment complex will offer supportive services, such as mental health counseling, foster care support services, entitlement assistance, educational linkages, employment training, and job placement referrals. In addition, the Dorothy Day Apartments will contain an on-site child day care center, providing services to children in need and allowing parents to pursue employment training and job opportunities. HUD plans to provide $1,257,600 in Section 8 Single Room Occupancy (SRO) rental assistance for sixteen (16) studio units for a period of eleven (11) years. Furthermore, HUD will provide a two-year Supportive Housing Program (SHP) grant in the amount of $453,600 to the Center for Urban Community Services to furnish supportive services to fifteen homeless families and five single homeless individuals.
Funding for this project has also been provided through the New York State Homeless Housing and Assistance Program, through Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and sponsor equity, and by the New York City HPD Supportive Housing Loan Program.

LTR 7 mount for M42 lenses?Recently got an Aaton LTR 7 in great shape, came with Nikon F and PL mounts, both of which work great with their respective lenses. I have a bunch of old M42 lenses that I used with my K3 and I want to try them with my Aaton. I bought an M42 -> PL adapter but the only lens I can get to fit in the grooves of the adaptor is the Meteor 17-69mm; the other lenses are too wide at the base to fit. I've tried a couple different M42 -> Nikon F adapters but the flanges are off because I can't focus on any of the M42 lenses. No idea if there are M42 mounts for Aaton cameras out there but if anyone has any tips for me, much would be appreciated!
