Columbia Business School
Columbia Business School (CBS), part of Columbia University, was founded in 1916 thanks in part to a gift from banking executive Ernest McMillin.by A. Barton Hepburn, who at the time was president of Chase Manhattan Bank. The school began awarding the MBA degree in 1945 and became a graduate-only program in 1952.

Columbia Business School is part of Columbia University's main campus, located in the Morningside Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan. The campus is bounded by Riverside and Morningside Parks, giving students access to park space within a bustling urban location. The university's total property covers approximately 32 acres. In 2010, the school announced that alumnus Henry R. Kravis (MBA '69) and Ronald O. Perelman (member of the Board of Overseers) each had pledged to donate $100 million ($200 million total) to aid the construction of a new business school campus, which will be located north of the Morningside Heights campus in Manhattanville. The Henry R. Kravis Building, one of two new facilities that the new campus will house, will feature state-of-the-art technology and an architectural design to encourage collaborative learning.
The main campus of Columbia Business School is less than 10 miles away from New York City's LaGuardia Airport.
Most CBS classes take place in Uris and Warren Halls. The former is located at the center of Columbia's Morningside Heights campus and houses a number of CBS administrative and faculty offices, and the latter is an eight-story building on the corner of 115th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. CBS students can also utilize the full resources of Columbia University, including its extensive library system and fitness center.
Columbia boasts over 150 full-time faculty members and also includes a number of adjunct faculty members who allow for Columbia's vast elective course offerings. In accordance with CBS's reputation for a focus on finance, approximately 40 percent of its full-time professors teach in the Finance and Economics Division.
Student Body
The Columbia Business School currently enrolls 1,297 MBA students, making it one of the largest top business schools in the world.
MBA Degree Offerings
Columbia Business School offers a full-time MBA in addition to an Executive MBA program.

Hi, I'm Alayna, and I'm a victim of bullying.
No, I'm not a teenager. I'm an independent, vivacious woman who realises high school was literally half a lifetime ago, and should have more important things to worry about than who says what and why. Also, the perpetrator of these disruptive acts isn't a person, place, or thing, but a mindset. I'm being bullied by a way of looking at the world that too many people agree with, and for most of my adult life, I've suffered because of that.
I didn't have many experiences as a little kid or an adolescent that involved bullying, either being bullied by someone, or bullying someone else. I was always fairly popular, amiable enough, and the worst things I ever had to worry about were "mean girl" rumours, the kind of nonsense I both helped create, and received. Despite living my life in one very large city or another until the time I was 27 and found myself in the suburbs, the only physical confrontation I've ever had with another person is when a drunk girl from my university found me at a bar, accused me of messing with her boyfriend, and punched me square in the face. I hit her with a bottle, and we all got kicked out of the bar, because nobody was going to call the cops on two suburban-looking Caucasian females with a combined body weight and stature that still doesn't equal the average bouncer.
In fact, I don't think I'd recognise bullying if it came up and introduced itself, because I guess I'm just the product of a slightly different generation and mindset than the world has today. I'm not very judgmental. I proudly call myself a liberal. I'm a little weird, a little unconventional, and accept everyone else is too. Granted, I might at some point say something behind your back. However, it's never anything I wouldn't say to your face. If someone has heard something that's the type of remark I just wouldn't ever make to you or in your presence, it's a good indicator I didn't say it. I've always been a "What you see is what you get" kind of person, and while I have my share of secrets, skeletons in the closet, and things about me that are just nobody's business, I can also be very open and approachable once we've become friends. Sadly, I repeatedly get myself hurt by stuff that is whispered behind my back, people choosing to ostracize me, or other passive-aggressive types of behaviour.
The other day, The Guy I Am Currently Dating mentioned that some of these things I've dealt with—and am still dealing with—are a lot like the bullying that goes on in high school. It's just somehow a more grown-up version. And, while I'm not really the kind of person who would ever say "Life is picking on me and it's not fair", I certainly do feel that way sometimes. Part of the reason I share everything with everyone, and approach conflict in a way that seems "aggressive" to some people, and make a big deal about making sure even the most minor thing has no ill-intention is that I'm remarkably thin-skinned. I don't know how to defend myself against people who hate me, judge me, and refuse to forgive me for transgressions, or prefer to form an opinion of me at face value, or through the rumour mill. Those things all affect me more than they affect the average person, and they always have. I've been told I need to grow up, become less sensitive, take things less seriously, grow a thicker skin…so, like everyone, I have some well-defined defense mechanisms against being hurt. These typically include keeping people at arm's length until I feel I can trust them, snarky remarks that are sometimes disguised as humour but have a grain of truth, and asking people if and why they have a problem with me, rather than just assuming one way or the other. I don't excel at brushing things off or letting things go.
"Karma Is A Bitch, And Sometimes You Deserve What You Get."
While this is true, I think there are limits. When I was 26, I went through a very tough experience in my life where all my dirty little secrets were outed and judged, courtesy of people I thought were my friends. While what happened to me is never behaviour I will understand or forgive, I've had to acknowledge my role in the situation. I didn't treat my so-called "friends" any better than they treated me. I was making choices that might potentially cause hurt feelings or destroy the emotional stability of people I didn't even know, and I wasn't even thinking about it. I was largely going through life with an "I can say and do whatever I want" attitude designed not to let anyone get too close, and at the same time, enjoyed being popular and the center of a social circle.
The fallout from all my dirty laundry being aired was huge. People I didn't really know in other cities heard gossip and stories. Some of them never met me, but hated me. Some of them never met me, but suddenly wanted to. I got kicked out of my apartment, lost almost all of my friends, and had absolutely nothing. When I entered a room, someone was whispering somewhere. I got e-mails that, more than once, made me wonder if life was even worth living. I didn't really socialise with anyone or consider anyone a friend for three months.
Of course, life goes on, and every time you get knocked down, you rebuild. However, when you say things like that, when you say "Whatever, I'm a survivor. I'm strong.", it implies that you're less emotionally affected by life than you really are. I've been devastated, and my heart has been fractured so many times, it will probably never be capable of the kind of love and innocence I once believed in.
I had to take responsibility for my own behaviour, and realise I'd invited some of the bad karma and bullying into my life. I did, and I figured it was time to move on. Every time I felt hurt and "bullied", I rationalised that I probably deserved it, even if not for the reasons others thought.
Statute Of Limitations
The problem is that karma may balance eventually. However, bullying like that doesn't end. Six years have passed, and just recently, I happened to hear that someone was choosing not to be friends with me because of things they'd heard about me. Coincidentally, at the same time, I learned that someone from my past was now living in the city, socializing with some of the same people I know.
When I was 21, I made some bad life choices. I treated people badly. I treated someone badly even though I loved him immensely, and moving on from a relationship never hurt like that before, or since. I behaved in a selfish and callous way in order to survive and get what I thought I wanted and needed. I hurt people. There were consequences to all of that, including having to learn what the inside of a jail cell looked like, and that I was nowhere near as tough as I thought I was. I was just a scared girl out of her element who made some bad choices, ignoring the negative consequences to herself or anyone else.
I'll always have to live with that year of my life that ruined everything. I could blame it on the ways in which the world hurt me, the need to survive on my own in a world that just didn't care about me, on life not being fair…but I don't. I admit to being young and stupid, and doing selfish, hurtful things. There were consequences. I had to accept those and live with those.
Over a decade later, I am not the same person. Who is? Who hasn't changed and grown since their 21st birthday? Yet, there are still people who assume I am, that my past mistakes define me always and forever, and that my character is irredeemable.
The choices that I made later in my 20′s, while I regret the fallout from many of them and that I was so self-centred I forgot to feel empathy for others, or to ever really connect with others—I don't apologise for the unconventional life path I traveled upon. And when all that unconventionality was "outed", and I was constantly confronted and expected to feel shame, or move out of the city, or never dare to show my face in a social circle anywhere again, it seems my greatest crime was that I didn't. I was not ashamed enough, I did not dislike myself enough, I had the audacity to keep on going with my life and rebuild.
Guess what, people? I didn't always dislike myself. Since that period of my life, I struggle to find any semblance of self-esteem and self-acceptance in a world I believe will never understand my present, forgive my past, or want to be a part of my journey in the future. Your "bullying" tore me down more than you'll ever know. I'm even more cautious and distrustful about letting others into my life. On my worst days, I probably see myself exactly as you see me. I just have too much pride to let you see me cry. It doesn't mean there are wounds that just won't heal, because every time I get there, someone shows up to re-open them.
Being "Reserved" Is Not The Same As "Betrayal"
I didn't choose the life that most people would choose. I chose a way of life that varies between "unconventional" and "hopelessly immoral", depending who you are. But I never asked for judgment on my life path. It shocks me when, many years later, I hear gossip and cruel words that have to do with things that were always intended to be a part of my private life. It is not my fault that others could not forgive my choices, and felt I was so worthy of judgment that my private life should become public business. In fact, I think those who chose to do that to me should be judged as harshly as they judge me. I would never open someone's closet, let the skeletons fall out, and then circulate all the gory details for public consumption.
Doing that isn't a minor thing. It isn't revenge for being hurt or not liking someone. It isn't an acceptable way of saying "People like you don't belong in our world". Those actions destroy lives. People have committed suicide over similar issues with gossip and scandal and ostracism. In my viewpoint, it's one of the worst things you could ever do to someone.
Some of the rationale I've received is that people felt betrayed by me because I had secrets. Everyone has secrets. Everyone has a private life. The reason we're so into melodramas like "Desperate Housewives" and reality TV shows is because, behind closed doors, most of us live lives that wouldn't withstand public scrutiny and the harsh, unreasonable judgment that goes along with it. Ask almost every politician and his/her family.
We live in a world where "freedom of information" means everyone is entitled to know everything about everyone else, and if you're not going to open up about that time you got arrested, the kinky sex club you went to, the affair you're having, that time you stole something from someone, or lied to someone to get your way, or manipulated something out of greed or jealousy or ambition, you're the kind of person who deserves to be judged…and frequently, and harshly. And for the rest of your life.
I am sorry, but there are some things I don't feel you are entitled to know. Despite this blog, despite my openness as a person, I actually have a very private and vulnerable side few people see. I am, in many ways, more traditional than you might expect. I am, in many ways, more loving and more compassionate than you might expect. If you judged me solely via the stories you've heard and the notoriety my less-than-diminuitive personality has brought about, you'd likely be surprised when you got to know me as a real person, one-on-one. It is a pity that because of judgments and stories and rumours, so many people will never have the interest or the opportunity in knowing that person.
There is a point when that relentless judgment, cruelty, and ostracism will break a person, and sometimes, I think the only reason it hasn't broken me is because I have too much pride. I am too special to be broken that easily, and I'm sorry if the world doesn't agree. But there's also a point where the attempts to do so becomes a form of bullying.
When The Guy I Am Currently Dating gets anonymous e-mails alluding to my past, or someone actively tries to destroy my relationships because they judge me not worthy of love, that is bullying. When The Guy I Am Currently Dating's mother leaves me abusive telephone messages and letters telling me I'm white trash and Casey Anthony and deserve to die, that's bullying. When some girl I don't even know calls me fat and arrogant and a liar, that's bullying. When someone who is supposed to be my friend tells me they're tired of hearing me whine about being sick to others on FB, because it's presumptuous of me to think everyone cares, that's bullying. When the neighbour gets an attitude and goes all ghetto on me about my dog pooping on the sidewalk and refuses to back down until I clean up the entire front yard, even though my dog didn't do it, that's bullying. When I can't hang out with people whose company I enjoy because their group of friends won't tolerate my presence, that's bullying…and particularly hurtful when I don't even know why. But most of all, when people bring up dirt about me from five or ten years ago and share it with people they barely know, people who then refuse to give me the time of day, that's bullying.
Have I made mistakes in my life? Sure. Did I do stupid and destructive things as a kid? Absolutely. Did I take a life path in my 20′s that was largely self-centred and something other people may not agree with? Definitely. But I've paid the consequences for my mistakes, I've gotten my own karma, I've had to grow up and move on.
My question is, when is it time for everyone else to do the same?
Believe it or not, I'm actually a pretty decent person. I stopped hating the world, got over my self-destructive bullshit, learned to have healthy relationships with other human beings, admitted to my mistakes and took the lumps that were coming to me, and grew as a human being. So, why do I still deserve the gossip and the ostracism and the "I just don't like you?" and the judgment from people I barely know?
I Am Not Perfect
Nope, I am not perfect. Far from it. I may be the most complex, fucked-up human being on the planet. I may also be one of the most loving, caring, empathetic, life-loving, experience-embracing people you'll ever meet. I am overly sensitive, overly insecure, and having to be strong in the face of so much meant to tear down anything I might value about myself has taken a decade-long toll on me.
No excuses, though. I still do things I shouldn't, say things I shouldn't. I still could do some work on being a more tactful, amiable human being. I still could learn the world doesn't revolve around me and there are times to keep my damn mouth shut. I still could learn that words don't just hurt me, so I need to own what comes out of my own mouth.
I have a friend I've known for at least 5 years…at least, we're social friends, and I always considered us as such. We had some good times together. Last time I saw her, I got a vibe that she didn't much care for my presence. In fact, I felt deliberately ignored, and while most people would let that go, I'm pretty intuitive.
I mentioned it to a mutual friend, who said she'd ask if this friend was mad at me. I declined the offer, because I don't want to be that confrontational, oversensitive person who thinks the world is always out to get her. However, it's not paranoia if something's really going on, and I'm usually right.
So, when I saw this friend in person, I asked her. I give her credit for being a straight-shooter who doesn't mince words or behave passive-aggressively. So, I asked her if I did something, and if so, what it was. It turns out, I did. I had made snarky comments that weren't appreciated, and she said it wasn't worth being mad about, she was just over it.
During the time I've known her, she's always been the type to make her own share of snarky comments, and when one of them happens to be at my expense, I put on an exaggerated sad face and ask why she's mean to me. I've never taken any of it seriously, seen it as drama or passive-aggressive behavior. I thought it was just how we agreed to relate to each other. I kind of started to see it as an inside joke. I mean, when people attend your birthday parties, and you visit their house, and you amicably travel in the same social circle, you know someone isn't really mean to you…and you assume they know your snarky comments are similarly meant to be drama-free.
As it turns out, that was not the case. She told me she never appreciated it, never thought it was funny, and was over it. I appreciated her candour, and did the right thing. I apologised for my snarky remarks, and for being unaware for literally years that they weren't coming across the way I thought they were. What I saw as just the odd way we related, she found irritating and emotionally tiring.
I never would have known if I hadn't bothered to ask her how she was feeling, and what changed between us. I didn't turn the tables on her, and say, "You say snarky things, too…are they serious, or have they always been a joke?" My behaviour was not enjoyable for her to be around, and when that's the case, you have to be an adult and own it. So, I apologised. I apologised to her husband for any unintentional rudeness he may have also picked up from me. Apologies were accepted, and life goes on.
Nobody's perfect, and just because sometimes, you feel bullied by life and treated obnoxiously by your fellow human beings doesn't mean you don't have the capacity to be equally obnoxious, rude, or tiresome. Sometimes, people change and grow, and something that used to be funny just seems immature and a waste of time. Sometimes, how you behave isn't as cute or endearing as you think that it is.
That's why I ask people if something's wrong when I perceive a change in how they're acting around me. While that can be a little exhausting if you're an introvert who's chosen to date me or is a really close friend, and I firmly acknowledge that, for everyone else, it has a 90% success rate. If I sense something is up, it usually is. Where I have a problem is accepting that someone doesn't want to tell me, or is only willing to tell others behind my back.
When I am wrong, I apologise. I don't go through other people. I don't gossip or send someone else to ask if you're mad or why I don't get warm and fuzzy feelings. I don't create a scene. I just want to sit and talk about it, and if I owe someone an apology, they'll get it.
It is hard for me to understand why more people don't approach things that way. Instead, I know people who have stopped speaking to me and refuse to acknowledge my existence, and I only ever have hints of "why" through the rumour mill. And, somehow, finding things out that way catches me off-guard, makes me feel shocked and vulnerable, and truly hurts.
Nobody likes to be blindsided, and nobody likes to be judged or a popular punching bag, or topic of discussion. Especially since, when it comes down to it, nobody is perfect.
I try really hard to like who I am, and be content with that person. The last thing I want is people in my Universe who want to make it harder for me to do so. It's tough to realise your personality and your lifestyle and your past history makes you as objectionable to many as it makes you feel loved by others.
It's a pill I've been trying to swallow for 10 years, and this weekend, I still felt sad and overwhelmed by it. Perhaps human nature is just a force bigger than me, and it is always going to win, or perhaps I just live in the wrong place for me. I wonder, had I been a better person, had I followed the conventional route, made the same choices as most other people, would I be more well-liked? Would I be happier? Would I be more open, and feel less like it's necessary to guard myself with sarcasm and one-liners, and only talk about certain pieces of my life journey? Would I be the kind of girl that Southern mothers want their sons to end up with, or would they still think me a loud, trashy bitch?
Or would I just have led a more sheltered existence that denied me the ability to look at the world and people in it a little differently than others?
I've been dealing with the consequences of hurting others as a stupid 21 year old for a decade. Even when the worst thing I did was choose an unconventional and wild life path, my penance was years of harsh and unforgiving judgment. I don't consider myself strong, but I know I must be in some way, because I've somehow survived and never backed down.
When will I be strong enough that words don't hurt, that whispers mean nothing, that silent judgment doesn't affect my life? Am I lacking something everyone else naturally has, or is life just asking a little much from me?

The technology industry is ever evolving. And the hospitality industry must evolve with it in order to keep up with the needs and demands of consumers. If you're not with the current trends, you're against them–or worse yet, you're not even a part of the advancing technological equation. And if you're not a part of the advancing technological equation, you become a "non-factor" to your customers and your potential consumers. And what happens to non-factors? Non-Growth, Non-Bookings, and (ultimately) Non-Sales happen to non-factors. Although those phrases may be grammatically incorrect, they embody an eventual truth–if consumers don't know you exist, how will they be able to book with you and use your services? The short answer is–they won't. If you're not present in mobile media, you can't be the most effective in the hospitality marketplace.
And even if you are current with the technology this month, if you don't stay updated on the trends, next month you'll be lagging behind. As I said before, technology is advancing. And it is advancing at a rapid pace.
Did you know that mobile phones now account for 10% of all bookings? As technology evolves, your job will be dependent upon you understanding how smart devices work within the industry and your application of that knowledge.
If you aren't aware of what's happening in mobile media, or even if you are aware of the current media changes that impact your industry, there's an upcoming event that you need to attend. "Are You Smarter Than Your Smartphone? Fuel Your Mobile Sales" is an informative must for anyone who counts him or herself as a staple in the hospitality industry. At this April 26th event, VHSMP and HSMAI together will share:
-What apps are best for marketing your property.
-How apps can increase loyalty.
-How to manage contacts and distribute important information.
Again, this event is on April 26th from 3:00pm–5:00pm. It will take place at the Virginia Beach Resort Hotel. There will be a social hour afterward for you to network and learn more.
Don't be a non-factor, be a pro-actor. Download the registration form here.
If you have any questions, please contact:
Virginia Association of Hospitality Sales & Meeting Professionals:
Tom – 888-441-5454 or email@example.com

It took five years, but it finally hapenned! July 2012 its the month when my chess board reached ONE MILLION downloads!!
First version went live on July 16, 2007. With it I learned how to create a graphical interface that can adapt to the screen size and wrote my findings at this blog.
Up until now I did now earn a dime with this app, but the pride is big nonetheless!
If you've got a phone that runs Java, install and see what other MILLION people has seen. ;)

Media Release
October 22, 2015
APPEC Challenges Approval of the White Pines Wind Project
The Alliance to Protect Prince Edward County (APPEC) is appealing the approval of wpd's 27 turbine White Pines wind project in South Marysburgh and part of Athol. APPEC's legal challenge will demonstrate that the White Pines wind project will cause serious harm to human health and serious and irreversible harm to the natural environment.
APPEC will draw on the legal expertise of Eric Gillespie who has extensive experience with the Environmental Review Tribunal (ERT) process and the deleterious effects of industrial wind turbines on Ontario residents and on the environment. Environmental and health experts will provide evidence to the ERT that the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change failed to consider when it approved this project.
Attempts by APPEC and other County groups to stop this destructive project have gone unheeded by the provincial government. This legal action is critical to protecting the health of County residents and to preserving the ecological value of the Prince Edward County South Shore Important Bird and Biodiversity Area. It is also critical to preventing the County's South Shore from being turned into a sprawling intermittent electricity generation station that will produce electricity but at far too high a cost.
The ERT hearing starts Monday, November 2nd at the Wellington Arena at 10:00 a.m. Members of the public are welcome and are encouraged to attend.
For more information please contact:
Paula Peel
Secretary, APPEC

This is a concept painting done for the game Orcward that I have been working on this last trimester. Orcward is a transport management game with a fantasy twist where the player manoeuvres a clan of Orcs throughout floating sky islands and to the battleground below. This image was a scene setting concept and can also be found in the Orcward art bible I created to accompany the game.
I like your floating lands

It's that time of the year when the kids are back to school or about to start their adventures at university. It also means that it's action time for those cheque books again!
Whether it is tuition fees and related university living costs or private school fees needing to be paid, there is a way to make the paying of these a little less painful.
You see, the tax-free earning allowance (currently £11,000) applies to everyone from birth. This means you can use their allowances to fund your children's own expenses rather than paying out of your taxed income at higher rates of up to 45%.
The allowance got even better from April of this year when the dividend allowance of £5,000 was introduced. So you potentially have £16,000 of tax free income you can extract PER CHILD. So how do you do this?
The answer is the discretionary trust.
Get some advice to help you route some of your company shares to a trust set up for the benefit of your children. Then whenever the company votes a dividend, the trust receives its proportion. And this is money you can legitimately use for tuition fees, living costs, school fees, clothing, extra-curricular activities, presents, etc etc - basically anything for their benefit. Rather than you spending on the children from your post-tax drawings, you are effectively using your children's allowances to fund their own (never-ending) expenses!
It's not an aggressive tax scheme either.
The concept of a trust set up to hold capital is a long established and respected one. And with income tax savings of at least £5,200 per child per year (and rising), you'd be crazy not to look into it.
To find out more about this tax saving strategy feel free to drop me a line to arrange a strategic consultation.
Remember – making strategic use of your family's personal allowances helps you to keep more of what you earn.

Introduction to Faculty of Management Sciences
1. Faculty Profile:
The Faculty of Management Sciences would like to welcome you to MSA University. The Faculty of Management Sciences offers six separate programmes, namely BA (Hons) Accounting, BA (Hons) Economics, BA (Hons) Management Information Systems, BA (Hons) Marketing and International Business, BA (Hons) Human Resources Management and BA (Hons) Finance & Investment Management . The degree offered by the Faculty of Management Sciences at MSA is accredited by the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities and The Faculty is validated from University of Greenwich (all the newcomers starting fall 2020 will be under the new Validation from the University of Bedfordshire). Thus a graduate of MSA Faculty of Management Sciences will receive two certificates. One approved by the Supreme Council of Egyptian Universities and the other from University of Bedfordshire.
The Faculty of Management Sciences programmes are designed to provide the students with the main theoretical concepts and practical applications that can be used in today's dynamic business environment. To achieve this, the faculty depends on various methods of delivery and selects the most appropriate assessment methodology to ensure the students' ability to demonstrate the required learning outcomes of their programme of study. Moreover, there is continuous development of the programmes, the learning material, and the teaching methodology to enhance the standard or calibre of our graduates.
To graduate, you need to pass all the required modules of your chosen programme which are divided into six levels namely levels 1, 2, 3, and 4. The first 16 modules are common in all the six programmes. These 16 modules will introduce you to various areas of knowledge that are necessary to support your understanding of higher level modules, and it is during studying these modules that you will get an insight into the different management disciplines to enable you to declare your major of choice.
2. Programmes:
The Faculty of Management Sciences offers six programmes:
- Accounting.
- Economics (requires the student to get a (B) average in ECO 101 and ECO 102 to be able to join the Economics programme).
- Management Information Systems.
- Marketing and International Business.
- Human Resources Management.
- Finance and Investment Management.
As you progress from one level to another, you need to develop your learning abilities so that by the end of level six, you will have achieved the outcomes of the programme. Finally, the aim is that you as a student enhance your judgment, critical analysis, and application of knowledge. You also need to achieve a point where you become an independent learner, and whenever you need to know more about an area you could independently search and guide yourself.
Furthermore, our aim is to enhance your employability by improving your team-working, communication, presentation skills, and acquire awareness of the rapidly changing dynamic business environment where flexibility, innovation, and adaptability are a must.
The objective of the faculty is to help students acquire deep knowledge and understanding of the basic concepts, theories and practices in the fields of business and economics; and to prepare them to become effective leaders in these fields. This objective implies educating students to be responsible adults in all aspects of their lives in an era of dynamic change.
Therefore, our main educational strategy is to provide our students with the tools needed to adequately interpret and analyze contemporary related issues; and to deal effectively and efficiently with the business environment they are soon to face. In other words, that is to develop their analytical skills, and to stimulate their thinking abilities.
Hence, great emphasis and attention are given to the following:

aka The White House Book
I was extremely honored to be asked to contribute a story to "Our White House, Looking In, Looking Out" which is being released in September. This massive anthology was spearheaded by the National Children's Book and Literacy Alliance and assembled by the massively talented folks at Candlewick Press.
I was asked to write and illustrate a story about the Great Depression. In four pages. The result, a stripped down comic about Herbert Hoover and apple peddlers, will be the first story that I've written to be published (although my upcoming graphic novel was written before this). Above is a sketch for the first page of the story. Other contributors to the book include M.T. Anderson, Jerry Spinelli, Katherine Paterson, David Small, Brian Selznick, Susan Cooper and really too many to list here.
Publisher's Weekly just did a very nice write up about the book here. And the NCBLA has a website that should explode with extra content around the time of the book's release. Personally, I can't wait to see this thing.

|Building a compost heap
Every week I volunteer at a local elementary school in the arboretum and gardens on the schoolgrounds. The PTA environmental chair and I recently turned an area into a vegetable garden and built a large compost bin. We've told the teachers about what we're doing, and some of them have brought their classes out to help us plant.
The kids are enthusiastic diggers and rakers; we've had to buy more kid-sized spades and rakes to prevent struggles to "have my turn." They love to find june bug grubs (bad for baby plants) and earthworms (good for the soil).
They are eager to start the compost pile and feel how warm it gets as it decomposes. Most of them have never planted seeds before, and are amazed to learn what a baby radish or a seedling broccoli plant looks like. This week the sugar snap peas are getting ripe, and I worry that there will not be enough pods to go around to the class that planted them – and I know everyone is going to want to eat one!
|Laying out the compost bins
Helping the kids to plant a garden takes me back many years. I fondly remember helping my parents to tend our vegetable garden in Calgary's short growing season (no tomatoes there!). My father and I would often go out with a flashlight after dark to pick the slugs off the beans and lettuce, dropping them into a can of salty water. The few ears of corn we got each year would be relished as a special treat, cooked and eaten only minutes after they were picked. Besides harvesting our garden crops, we would also go out looking for wild june berries (called Saskatoons in Canada), tiny wild strawberries (so flavorful), or crabapples and chokecherries that my mother rendered into jelly or syrup.
I was very lucky to grow up when and where I did. But surely all kids should have a chance to learn how plants grow and what bugs live in their backyard or the overgrown area behind their fence. Things are different today – kids are busier, more sheltered, and many of their parents are uncomfortable in the outdoors. These days many people turn their gardening over to a landscaping crew, and their kids never work out in the yard (in contrast, us kids had to mow and edge our huge lawn all summer, and rake up all the leaves in the fall – for no pay!).
Today people grow up so distant from nature that it no longer surprises me to meet a grown woman (like the garden club member who visited recently) who hadn't the faintest idea that butterflies come from caterpillars.
Some of you may have heard about Last Child in the Woods, a book by Richard Loew that has gotten a lot of attention over the last few years. Loew coined the term "Nature deficit disorder" and convincingly argues that many people today suffer from it, to the detriment of themselves and the world.
I recommend the book, and most of all, I recommend sending your kids to play and work outdoors (if possible, on their own – or if not, with you to guide them).

Flower Tag designPosted: Friday,18th March, 2011 Filed under: graphic design, photography, Project, typography | Tags: clipping mask, compile, creating, cut, flower tag, flowers, graphic design, green, illustrator, in situ, Kassandra, laminate, layers, magenta, mask, orange, original, photography, pink, print, product, purple, red, remake, template, typography, water marked, white, yellow Leave a comment
I recently bought 10 different types of flowers and pots to plant them in so I could add some colour to my backyard. After planting I was very upset at how crappy the flower tags were. I will not show the originals because they were that bad. They were all red, had a crazy huge logo and the text for each flower was small, upper case and white on red. These tags were more about the company who grew them than about the individual flowers. I had to change this – design tags that were all about the flowers and not me.
As a graphic designer and photographer I started with photographing my new flowers. After getting the photographs off my camera I had to select all the best photographs, about 10 minutes. I spent about 15 minutes getting a rough template together that has the shape, clipping mask all ready to go and the text in place. Using the 'template' and the selected photographs, typing in the name, changing colours etc took about 20 minutes for all the tags. So basically I made 10 flower tags in about 45 minutes. Below is 8 of the 10 tags:
Once I printed them all I cut them out and laminated them and then cut them out (again). Below are the flower tags as they are displayed in the pots:
I have already had some friends and family mistake these flower tags for being the tags that came with the flowers since they are so well designed and professional looking. I smile because this is what I do.

The Department of Labor's Employee Benefit Security Administration (EBSA) issued another set of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA). Among other issues, these FAQs address the coverage of preventive services. The ACA added Public Health Service Act (PHSA) Sec. 2713, which requires non-grandfathered group health plans and health insurance coverage offered in the individual or group market to provide certain preventive services without cost sharing
Out-of-network services. The FAQs clarify that if a plan or issuer does not have in its network a provider who can provide a particular preventive service, the plan or issuer must cover the item or service when performed by an out-of-network provider and not impose cost sharing with respect to the item or service.
Recommendations of the USPSTF. Evidenced-based items or services that have in effect a rating of "A" or "B" in the current recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) must be covered pursuant to PHSA Sec. 2713. The USPSTF recommends the use of aspirin for certain men and women when the potential benefit due to a reduction in myocardial infarctions outweighs the potential harm. Aspirin is generally available over-the-counter (OTC). The FAQs clarify that aspirin and other OTC-recommended items and services must be covered without cost sharing only when prescribed by a health care provider.
Another USPSTF recommendation is a colonoscopy as a screening procedure. The FAQs indicate that a plan or issuer may not impose cost sharing with respect to a polyp removal during a colonoscopy performed as a screening procedure. On the other hand, a plan or issuer may impose cost sharing for a treatment that is not a recommended preventive service, even if the treatment results from a recommended preventive service.
The FAQs also clarify that the USPSTF recommendation for genetic counseling and evaluation for routine breast cancer susceptibility gene (BRCA) testing includes both genetic counseling and BRCA testing, if appropriate, for a woman as determined by her health care provider.
ACIP recommendations. PHSA Sec. 2713 and interim final regulations require coverage for immunizations for routine use in children, adolescents, and adults that have in effect a recommendation by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for routine use. The vaccines must be covered without cost-sharing requirements when the service is delivered by an in-network provider. The ACIP makes routine immunization recommendations for children, adolescents, and adults that are population-based (e.g., age-based), risk-based (e.g., underlying medical conditions, work-related, or other special circumstances that increase risk of illness), or are catch-up recommendations.
The FAQs indicate that in some circumstances, the ACIP makes a recommendation that applies for certain individuals rather than an entire population. In these circumstances, health care providers should determine whether the vaccine should be administered, and if the vaccine is prescribed by a health care provider consistent with the ACIP recommendations, a plan or issuer is required to provide coverage for the vaccine without cost-sharing.
New ACIP recommendations will be required to be covered without cost-sharing starting with the plan year (in the individual market, policy year) that begins on or after the date that is one year after the date the recommendation is issued. An ACIP recommendation is considered to be issued on the date on which it is adopted by the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which is the earlier of: the date the recommendation is published in the Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report, or the date the recommendation is reflected in the Immunization Schedules of the CDC. Therefore, plans or issuers with respect to a plan can determine annually what vaccines recommended by ACIP must be covered by checking http://www.healthcare.gov/law/features/rights/preventive-care/index.html prior to the beginning of each plan year.
Women's preventive services. PHSA Sec. 2713 requires, with respect to women, coverage of evidence-informed preventive care and screening provided for in comprehensive guidelines supported by Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to the extent not already included in certain recommendations of the USPSTF.
The FAQs clarify that a plan or issuer may not cover only oral contraceptives. HRSA Guidelines ensure women's access to the full range of FDA-approved contraceptive methods. Contraceptive methods that are generally available OTC are only included if the method is both FDA-approved and prescribed for a woman by her health care provider. The HRSA Guidelines do not include contraception for men.
The HRSA Guidelines specifically incorporate comprehensive prenatal and postnatal lactation support, counseling, and equipment rental. Accordingly, the items and services described in the HRSA Guidelines are required to be covered in accordance with the requirements of the interim final regulations (that is, without cost sharing, subject to reasonable medical management, which may include purchase instead of rental of equipment). Coverage of comprehensive lactation support and counseling and costs of renting or purchasing breastfeeding equipment extends for the duration of breastfeeding.

An acquaintance was complaining recently that this overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor really gets his goat. I have to agree. The overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor really got my goat, too. In Spain. At 350 yards.
At the risk of sounding like some kind of overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor nut job myself, I must report on this week's hunting experience with that little cartridge. The two Beceite ibex I took were just the third and fourth game animals I've ever taken with the 6.5 Creedmoor. The previous two were whitetails which I'll report on another time. This pre-Christmas holiday hunt was unusual and unusually successful, and my three shots highlight some of the attributes of the 6.5 Creedmoor that suggest it may not be overhyped.
I ended up in Spain (for the first time) thanks to my hosts, Mossberg and Swarovski. They'd book the trip through WorldSlamAdventures.com. As often happens in this business, they hosted a couple of writers as a way of introducing them to their products in a meaningful way. Let's face it, if a writer had to bankroll all his own guns, gear and trips, he wouldn't have much to report. This doesn't mean we become shills for the manufacturers. We are free to report the good, bad, and ugly. If a product doesn't work as advertised, I'll not recommend it. And that makes this quick report easy because the Mossberg Patriot Revere and Swarovski optics functioned to perfection.
I'll report in depth on this gear in a future blog. For now, let's see how the overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor performed.
I was shooting Hornady's new Precision Hunter loads featuring 143-grain ELD-X bullets. They chronographed an average muzzle velocity of 2,689 fps from the 24" barrel of my borrowed Revere rifle. I didn't have time for extensive accuracy testing, but a few three-shot groups fell in the 1.5" to 1" range. That's more than adequate to hit an 8" circle out to 500 yards, and I wasn't planning to shoot that far. Nor did I have to.
The Z5 3.5-18x44mm scope provided more than enough magnification for careful targeting, and my old Steady Sticks bipod promised solid support in a hurry on virtually any terrain. My first opportunity came at sunset on the first day as local guide Oscar, working for outfitter Caza Hispanica (Hunt Spain,) guided me carefully along the rimrock of a steep, dry canyon lined with stone retaining walls built over hundreds of years by land hungry peasants. The goats had been crossing the canyon when we first spotted them. Two were absolute monarchs with towering, curving horns perhaps four feet long. These were off limits due to their value. In Spain, local villages sell permits to hunt their surplus ibex, and they charge what the market will bear. The market will bear close to $30,000 for a top-end billy. We were hunting the much more affordable "bronze" quality billies, roughly 6- to 9-year-old animals.
Let me assure you it was weird passing up the biggest, oldest animals, but this is the way of hunting today. Supply and demand. You can't blame rural villagers with limited resources for charging what they can for a natural resource.
At any rate, when Oscar pointed out a bronze-class male picking its way across a distant rockslide, I lay prone with the Mossberg resting over his pack on the rimrock. Then I chambered a round, asked for the range (260 yards,) held middle of the shoulder and launched that long, sleek, wind defying ELD-X. It landed low on the shoulder as anticipated, breaking the animal's leg and penetrating its heart. Of course, in the heat of the moment I only knew that the front leg was broken, and that could have been from a low strike, so I sent a second bullet over the gaping Spanish country side. This one landed a few inches higher than the first, and the billy then expired on one of the old terraces. If the rifle had recoiled, I didn't feel it. Even in a light, sporting rifle like the Revere, 6.5 Creedmoor recoil is so light that one can usually recover well enough to see the result of the shot — even through a scope set at 10X.
Overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor or not, both the cartridge, bullet, rifle and scope performed perfectly. I had my first Spanish Beceite ibex, a beautiful male that smelled as bad as the old billy goat we had back on the farm. Once a goat, always a goat, I guess.
My second animal was a bonus due to an extra tag unused by a hunter who had fallen ill. We had one morning to hunt. Caza Hispanica founder and head guide Vicente Gil personally led me on the search. It ended when my compact, lightweight Swarovski 8×30 Companion binocular revealed five nannies and one billy high up a canyon wall. "Ees good one," Vicente said. "Want to try him?" I did. We set off on a steep, winding climb up our side of the canyon, hoping it would bend close enough for a shot. The animals watched us warily, but confidently, probably well aware that the deep canyon between us gave them plenty of protection. I think they hadn't yet heard about the overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor, but they were about to.
But there was a problem. A larger billy. Why this older, more heavily horned male was not with the band will remain a mystery, but his position between us made a closer stalk unlikely. "Can you shoot from here?" Vicente asked. "Here" was a walled redoubt at the base of the cliffs where fighters had dug in during Spain's Civil War.
"Probably. But the wind…" As often happens in canyon country, winds were gusting and variable, sweeping down the canyon, curling up and sometimes pouring back. We estimated the range at 350 yards. Given my zero range of 240 yards, my bullet would drop 11 inches at 350 yards, deflect about 7.5 inches in a 10 mph breeze. This was anything but a steady breeze. I set up with my back against a rock, elbows on my knees, the Patriot's walnut stock atop the old Steady Sticks. Rock solid. I then studied how the wind moved the pines between us and the goat to get a better fix on the wind. To my surprise, most branches were still, yet blowing considerably where we sat. I waited. During a lull, I held about six inches over the billy's back, about four inches into my wind, and tripped the rifle's 3.5-pound trigger.
As the rifle recovered from the slight recoil, I saw rock dust erupt. Ewes scattered. I thought I'd missed high. "Where'd he run?" I asked Vicente.
"No run. Kaput!" he answered.
"Kaput!" I'd overcompensated for the wind and had apparently caught a contrary gust that deflected the bullet three or four inches right of where I'd intended. That put it in the neck instead of chest. The billy had collapsed right there.
This is one of the advantages of those long, high-B.C., 6.5mm bullets. They minimize wind deflection, and that can sometimes save you from a bad call. The 6.5 Creedmoor doesn't shoot as flat as a 270 Winchester or 7mm Rem. Mag., but it recoils less. (Read all about the 6.5 Creedmoor versus 270 Win. here.) This gives you the luxury of seeing your hits or misses. This is part of the reason why the overhyped 6.5 Creedmoor might not be all that overhyped after all. Our field research is just getting started. We'll see what else develops.

Third-year sophomore running back Paul James will make his first college start on Saturday when Norfolk State visits after rushing for 182 yards against Fresno State.
(Patti Sapone/The Star-Ledger)
Third-year sophomore Paul James -- a walkon who had appeared in just two games prior to this season -- has been named the Rutgers' starting running back for Saturday's home opener against Norfolk State over Savon Huggins, according to the depth chart released today.
Huggins, a junior, is the state's former No. 1 recruit.
James, from Glassboro, erupted for 182 yards on 22 carries in last Thursday's 52-51 overtime loss at Fresno State. Huggins had six carries for 15 yards in the game.
The only other notable change among the starters finds redshirt freshman Chris Muller listed as the right guard starter ahead of first-game starter Andre Civil, who is listed as a game-time decision due to an elbow injury.
Also listed as game-time decisions due to injury are: DB Johnathan Aiken (ankle), WR Carlton Agudosi (hamstring), TE Paul Carrezola (lower body) and DE Jamil Merrell (lower leg). Merrell did not play against Fresno.
Kickoff is listed as 12:04 p.m. on Saturday.


text: Anyone else out there have a Roscoe bass with an Aguilar preamp installed? I had pretty much steered away from the Roscoe with the Aguilar pre for a while due to several TBer's negative comments on the sound of a Roscoe with the Aguilar pre. I recently picked up a 3006 with the Aguilar OBP-3 pre that was just too nice looking to pass up. I purchased it thinking that I might have to install a Bart or Demeter pre in the bass but I'm actually very pleasantly surprised at the sound of the bass. IMO it's actually a perfect compromise between the Bart 4.6 3-band and the Roscoe tuned Demeter 3-band. Quite, smooth highs and lows and just the right amount of mid boost/cut. I recently passed on a nice Roscoe 3005 with an Aguilar OBP-1 and now I'm wondering if that might be a good match also. If anyone out there has owned a Roscoe with an Aguilar pre I'd like to hear your opinions on the sound. thanks!

Cold Weather ExerciseDecember 4, 2015
As Winter rapidly approaches it is important to consider the possible risks of exercising in cold weather. Though there are risks associated with exercising in the cold there are fewer risks to health and performance than exercising in extreme heat.
The body's core temperature is tightly controlled at 37oC varying by only 1 oC either side. Cold weather conditions can make the maintenance of core body temperature difficult for the body. If core body temperature falls below 35 oC then hypothermia can set in.
For athletes the risks of the cold can vary. If an athlete is exercising in water then heat is lost 3-5 times faster than if exercising in air at the same temperature because water is 25 more time conductive.
Other factors which affect the rate of heat loss include the temperature of the air or water, wind speed, body composition and body size. A wet person on dry land will also lose heat at a quicker rate than a dry one. Therefore the risks of exercising in the cold are greater if it is raining or snowing.
Low-Intensity Exercise
During low intensity exercise such as walking it is likely that the heat generated through the exercise will not be sufficient to counteract the heat that is being lost. It is therefore essential that precautions are taken. In this case the best course of action is to ensure that the body is well insulated by wearing appropriate clothing. At the same time it is important that the body is not over insulated otherwise the body's core temperature may rise causing negative effects from excessive heat.
Moderate – High Intensity Exercise
During Moderate – high intensity exercises such as running or cycling there is little concern for core temperature due to the heat generated through the exercise. It is only when the air temperature reaches -10 oC that a loss of performance will become a factor.
As previously mentioned the body will lose heat quicker in water and therefore if swimming in water cooler than 26 oC a loss of performance will become evident. This is because the fall in core body temperature intensifies shivering leading to a more rapid depletion of carbohydrate and fat supplies.
Post Exercise
No matter how intensive exercise has been all athletes must avoid rapid cooling when they stop exercising. Exercise heat generation will be reduced and body heat will be lost to the environment. Athletes should get out of the cold environment as quickly as possible, remove any wet clothing and add extra layers.

Write Your Own Review
"As a longtime Marzano devotee, I was pleasantly surprised that the book retained the magic of the original while also approaching learning from a new perspective. The three overarching categories in The New Art and Science of Teaching are a shift from the first edition, in that the original was what the teacher must do, while this new edition draws from what must happen in students' minds in order to be successful learners. This shift reflects the changing attitudes in education and the influence of growth mindset."

I want to let you in on something that no one talks about.
You don't have to believe everything your mind says.
Those thoughts that come up and tell you how terrible you are? You don't have to believe them.
That voice that says what you did was okay, but you can always do better? Take it with a grain of salt.
The constant, annoying, analytical thoughts that you can't get out of your mind? They may not all be true. And even if they are, you can choose to attend to them or not.
Part of what prevents us from bouncing back well in life is the difficulty we have in separating ourselves from our minds. Because our experience is unique to each of us – no one else is hearing our thoughts – we tend to believe that what we say to ourselves must be true.
And why wouldn't we think so? If I want to pick up a pen, my mind directs my hand to pick it up and my hand moves to the pen and grasps it. If I'm stuck with the problem of low fuel in my car, my mind jumps into action and quickly problem-solves, telling me I should stop at a gas station to refuel.
With the experience of our minds solving problems for us, it's easy to think that our minds will always give us answers truthfully and helpfully, even if it hurts.
But . . . not so much.
What you don't know about your mind CAN hurt you
The mind developed as a way to keep us safe – to solve problems. In the early days of humanity, life was extremely hard and people had to make quick decisions in order to stay alive.
"Should I run from that predator or fight it?"
"Should I swim across this lake or go around it?"
"Will this person hurt me or help me?"
Another important way the mind kept us safe was to recognize that there was safety in numbers so being in a community became very important. To be banned from the community meant a likely death, so the mind learned to ask, "Am I fitting in? Do I look right? Am I acting appropriately? Are my skills valuable to the group?" and so on.
Today, even though we don't have saber-toothed tigers to avoid, the mind continues along these problem-solving lines. And it still recognizes that being part of a group is important.
However, the problem comes in when the mind – with good intentions – tells us things that aren't true in order to solve a problem or make sure we're fitting in.
Using the examples from above, the mind might tell you, "You're really terrible. You're never going to fit in unless you change."
Or, "Sure, you're okay, but if you don't do better, you're going to be in terrible danger."
Or, "We'll just keep going over and over every experience we have just in case there's some important piece of this puzzle we're missing."
In reality, your mind is using old actions for something that really isn't necessary any more. It doesn't know that we're safe and okay just like we are. Your mind is just doing its job: It's protecting you and solving problems any way it can, including threatening, shaming, cajoling, or harassing you. (And a lot of other good, productive methods, so let's not throw those minds away!)
3 ways to put your mind in its place
How do we get our minds to stop these behaviors?
It's likely that we don't. The mind is always going to continue its chatter, much like a talk radio station. But it's up to you if that chatter is in the foreground or the background. Here are some ways to push your chattering-radio-station to the background when you need to:
1. Thank your mind. The next time you notice that your mind is chattering on about something that is negative or not helpful to you, just stop and say, "Thanks, mind! I appreciate you looking out for me, but I don't really need that negative input right now." With practice, this will help you gain a bit of separation from yourself and your thoughts so you can see that you are not your thoughts.
2. Become aware that some of the thoughts your mind produces may not be true. This is essential. We are so accustomed to believing what the mind says that it has us brainwashed! For example, my mind often tells me, "You're not good enough. You'll never be good enough. You need to do better." When I buy into this, I find myself on a hamster wheel, running as fast as I can and never getting anywhere.
Why? Because once I reach what I thought was "good enough," my mind keeps up the same patter: "Anyone could have done that. You're still not good enough . . ." And off I go again on the wheel, looking for the next thing that will convince me I'm good enough.
I've learned to just shrug these thoughts off and say, "That's just not true. I understand why you're saying that, mind, but it's not true, so let's move on."
3. Labeling thoughts as stories. Our minds create patterns of thoughts that can be seen as stories. Recognizing the stories our minds tell us is another way to get some distance from your own thought process and be more objective about it.
Sometimes when my mind is telling me I'm not good enough and could do better, I stop, take a breath, and say, "There's that 'Not Good Enough' story again. Thanks, mind, but I don't really want to hear that one right now."
Our minds are wonderful things, they really are. But the aspects that aren't true, helpful, or workable in our lives don't really have to be attended to.
What will you choose to do when your mind isn't being helpful? Let me know in the comments section.

Is it Time to Sell These Airline Stocks?
Following the Department of Justice's allegation of colluding, airlines have reduced ticket prices considerably, and that has negatively impacted their passenger revenue per average seat mile, or PRASM.
I have recommended both Delta and Hawaiian multiple times in the past, and both the stocks have performed very nicely for investors. I first recommended Delta Air Lines at $35, and Hawaiian Airlines at $14. While Delta has just appreciated roughly 40% since my call, Hawaiian has returned over 100% as the stock is currently trading at $32.87.
While none of these stocks are expensive per say, but I think there are better opportunities in the aviation sector. Both Delta and Hawaiian do not have attractive growth prospects. Delta's management is wary of the increasing capacity and competition, and the company will slow down its expansion to drive PRASM.
Similarly, Hawaiian also has limited growth opportunities and the company may be negatively affected but the arrival of Virgin America (VA) in Hawaii. Virgin America is highly focused on providing the best customer experience in the industry and its venture into the Hawaiian's primary market could spell trouble for the latter.
Moreover, both the companies are prone to an increase in oil price. While airlines have managed to slash ticket prices in the weak crude environment, the carriers will have trouble increasing the price again once crude starts rising.
Both Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Holdings are not expensive by any means, however I think there are stocks with better growth prospects that investors can buy. Both Delta and Hawaiian are more prone to overcapacity, increasing competition, and a recovery in crude oil prices than other carriers like JetBlue (JBLU) and Spirit (SAVE). Thus, I think investors should book profits and sell both of these airline stocks for now.

The Long Awaited Mr Han Chapter 643
Chapter 643 Let Results Speak
Translator:Atlas StudiosEditor:Atlas Studios
"I have nothing to be proud of," Lu Man just smiled slyly. "I acted as the female lead in a movie that had ticketing sales of 6.5 billion."
Zhang Xiaoying: ""
Was she done or not!
Seeing the scuffle, Zheng Yuanshi, Pan Xue and Han Leilei were amused; Lu Man really planned on being arrogant to shut up others.
But it was really like that!
The results were right out there, even if she proudly boasted, no one could deny it, it was not wrong.
"Hmph! Dont be too proud! Very soon, that record is going to be broken!" Zhang Xiaoying almost jumped down Lu Mans throat.
"But its not like you are the one breaking it, so whats there for you to be so proud of?" Lu Man said coldly.
Zhang Xiaoying: ""
The more she talked to Lu Man, the more she seethed with rage!
"Please make way, make way." Pan Xue squeezed Zhang Xiaoying and her friends out impolitely.
Following Zheng Yuanshi and her other two friends, Lu Man walked away indifferently.
Passing by the lecture hall, the four of them came to a stop.
"Lu Man, you are really not coming?" Pan Xue asked her.
Just when Lu Man was just about to answer someone suddenly called her. "Lu Man?"
Turning her head around, Lu Man was surprised to see Wang Qianyun.
Wang Qianyun walked over, sizing her up in disdain. "You also came to listen to the lecture? Ha, werent you so stubborn before this, yet within a short while, you come to learn from Bourbotte, you are really shameless!"
"Im not like you, kneeling in front Bourbotte and his entourage," Lu Man scoffed.
The next moment, Wang Qianyuns face turned ugly as she sneered, "Lu Man, if I were you, I would hurry and ask for mercy, otherwise in the end, you would be humiliated badly. Unaware of your standings and skills, you actually dare to wage a war with Attack Force? What was wrong with what Bourbotte said? What he said was very true and very logical, what was wrong with it?"
Originally, Lu Man did not want to deal with Wang Qianyun. She had planned to settle accounts with Wang Qianyun once Attack Force officially aired and hit two birds with one stone.
Yet who knew that before Attack Force aired, Wang Qianyun would come seeking trouble for herself!
She had yet to pay her back for eyeing her man, and now she even wanted to take a dig at Lu Man!
"Its your problem if you are willing to kneel and lick the boots of Bourbotte and his entourage, but dont you dare think of stepping on Red Tiger to lift them up," Lu Man warned coldly.
"Youre the one who should kneel and lick their boots!" Wang Qianyun was so embarrassed that she blood rushed to her face as she fumed in rage. "Whats wrong with making you guys our stepping stone? Its your honor that we are stepping on you. You wont win and would only lose your face!"
"How can you say that? Your movie that is yet to air is comparing itself to a movie that would stop airing soon, how come is that a big achievement for you to be so proud?" Pan Xue pursed her lips.
"What does it have to do with you? Who are you? Dont poke your nose into this, you dont even have the right to speak!" Wang Qianyun berated her harshly.
"How mean! No upbringing at all!" Zheng Yuanshi lashed out.
"Miss Wang, how about we let the box office collection speak about whos better?" Lu Man was too lazy to spout nonsense and engage in a scuffle with Wang Qianyun.
"Ha, youre still hoping for the box office collection to increase?" Obviously, Wang Qianyun had noticed how Lu Man had been publicizing Red Tiger but the daily ticket sale had no improvement at all and was steadily decreasing instead.
Zheng Yuanshi was getting livid and grumbled, "Im not going to that stupid lesson anymore!"
"Im not going anymore either," Han Leilei said coldly, "Pan Xue, are you still going?"
"Im not going, why should I go! To get mocked or to listen to their bullsh*t?" Pan Xue twitched her mouth.
Wang Qianyun glared at her furiously. How could she be so crude while scolding people!
"Man Man, lets go, ignore her," Zheng Yuanshi held onto Lu Mans arm and the four of them walked away.
Just when they came out of the school gate, Lu Man received Han Zhuolis phone call.
"I can see you, are the three people next to you your school friends?" Han Zhuoli asked.
"En. Today Bourbotte and his team have come to our school to publicize his new movie, so we had a free period but we all did not go." Lu Man briefly explained the situation to him.

text: Granola's a terrific snack for the plane, because it's easy to pack and eat and it's supposed to be pretty healthy, too. Well, it's easy anyway. Actually, despite its historic connection with health food nut John Harvey Kellogg, today's granola comes packed with sugar and fat. There's a wide variety of granola bars available, though, including low fat versions. Of course, if you choose the chocolate covered ones, you aren't fooling anybody. Even the loose cereal contains a lot of calories and sugar, but then again, if you're hungry and stuck in midair, those calories might be just what you need. If you really want to cut down on the sugar, making your own granola is an option. But even if you don't go that route and opt for the regular stuff, the person in the next seat will probably still think you're being healthy.

Did the Viking trade in red squirrels spread leprosy in Medieval Europe? A new study raises many questions but provides few solid answers.
A research project launched in England in 2016 aimed to better understand how leprosy affected British red squirrels. The disease was first found in red squirrels living within Scotland. Red squirrels with leprosy often develop lesions on their ears, appendages and even their muzzles. This has allowed the grey squirrel population to rise significantly on the island, since it appears grey squirrels do not contract leprosy.
But how did leprosy get to England in the first place? A new article in the Journal of Medical Microbiology suggests that leprosy-infected red squirrels go back a number of centuries, at least to pre-Norman England (5th-11th c. CE). This find is based in part on a skull of a woman found in a garden in Hoxne, Suffolk, between 1960 and 1990. The skull exhibited the characteristics of lepromatous leprosy (LL). Recent radiocarbon dating of the skull suggests the woman lived between 885 and 1015 CE.
As Cambridge archaeologist Sarah Inskip and the rest of the authors of the study noted, ancient DNA analysis was also performed on the skull: "aDNA confirmed the presence of mycobacterium leprae and genotyping demonstrated an ancestral variant of subtype 3I, the same lineage recently identified in living squirrels in the south of England." There were in fact multiple strains of leprosy in early Medieval England: "at least two distinct strains of leprosy existed in Medieval England. Type 3 strains were present from the fifth– sixth century, while strains from the second branch (type 2F strains) are known from the eleventh century."
In medieval skeletons recovered from Winchester, UK showed only the M. leprae species. However, a pivotal study published by Charlotte Avanzi et al. in 2016 discovered that separate red squirrel populations have M. lepromatosis and M. leprae. As such, the archaeologists have suggested that it is an "attractive theory" that medieval red squirrels passed leprosy onto humans, just as armadillos can today.
How a Squirrel May Have Infected a Medieval Woman with Leprosy https://t.co/Mx3dOwbacQ pic.twitter.com/ON37BpYowW
— Live Science (@LiveScience) October 27, 2017
It is hypothesized by the authors that red squirrels carrying leprosy perhaps came to inhabit England after first being imported to East Anglia by traders from Scandinavia and the area of the Baltic Sea. There was an active trade in squirrel meat, fur and--they allege--squirrels were sometimes kept as pets.
As science writer Nancy Marie Brown explores in her book, Ivory Vikings, medieval writers confirm that there was a cycle of trade between Scandinavia, the Baltic regions and England that introduced a number of products to the island, including squirrel pelts: "According to Ibn Rusta of Isfahan, who wrote a seven-volume encyclopedia between 903 and 913, the Rus 'earn their living by trading in sable, grey squirrel, and other furs. They sell them for silver coins..." Similarly, the Vikings also traded sable, fox, beaver, and squirrels.
Whether the Viking squirrel trade was truly responsible for bringing leprosy to humans living in England is far from certain and hinges on a number of factors. Medieval medical historian Monica H. Green, a professor at Arizona State University, has raised serious issues with the current study. As she points out, "No genetics data confirms that [the] woman in Hoxne was infected by squirrels, nor has zoonotic transmission from squirrels been documented in any other case. But, they are absolutely right that UK squirrels have been shown to carry same strain as one documented in humans in medieval England & in modern N[orth] America."
A second problem lies in our understanding of the squirrel trade itself. In order to substantiate the squirrel fur trade, the authors of the leprosy study cited a well known history of England's fur trade from 1966, written by Elspeth M. Veale. The study notes that it is doubtful that furs can themselves transmit leprosy. Consequently, the question hinges in part on whether medieval people in England actually kept red squirrels as pets.
As Green remarks, use of the Veale book provides a historical context without supporting the claim of squirrel pets: "They suggest that people kept squirrels as pets, but cite no source for this assertion. In short, then, an interesting speculation has been proposed. Clinching it with evidence will be the task of other research. There is, in fact, a bigger puzzle out there having to do w[ith] a new species of leprosy discovered by X.-Y. Han in 2008, Mycobacterium lepromatosis. This has also been found in UK squirrels."
There also remains the need for further study of leprosy transmission between animals and humans. Green underscores that this is imperative to understanding the spread of the disease in the past and today: "we need to explore whether squirrels (or some related species) are the long-term hosts of the disease, who periodically transmit it to humans, or whether humans give it to squirrels. (Humans from Europe certainly gave it to armadillos in America—in that case, the chain of transmission has been established by the genetics.)"
While the hypothesis that the Viking squirrel trade spread leprosy might be an interesting one, current data remains inconclusive. Regardless, the study does indicate that there is still much to find out about leprosy today; even if the last human case in England was over 200 years ago. As Green notes, it is interesting to reflect on the fact that the last cases of leprosy in Europe were in fact within Scandinavia.

Harrah's Las Vegas |
The Venetian
Fun, energetic, and weird. Just my kind of show. Drink service was bad but the show was very good. The dancing was better than expected. Go have fun!
This show isn't just a drag show. Frank Marino does quite a bit of standup between acts and the jokes are pretty damn good. All of the performers are great and really do a good job impersonating the performer. We have been to this show twice with different groups of friends and had a blast each time. Try to get the VIP seats which usually results in a booth (seats 4 comfortably)...have a few drinks beforehand...you will have fun.
Fairly fun show, but the seating is cramped and spoiled the atmosphere a little.
Frank Marino is simply the best female impersonator there is. The guys in this revue are all excellent, but it is Frank's legendary Joan Rivers impersonation is what keeps this show going. For fans of drag, this is a must-see.

There is a HUGE difference between over the counter products and professional products. Effectively it all boils down to how you get the products, did a woman behind a fancy department store counter help you, did you get a facial with an Aesthetician and did she recommended it to you? Believe it or not, there is a huge difference between the two.
There are three different grades of makeup to choose from, over the counter, professional or medical. Let's look at them in a little more detail.
Everything you are able to use on your face is regulated by the FDA and the percentage of active ingredients in the product will determine just how you can buy it. Over the counter (OTC) constitutes less than 2% of active ingredients. You can acquire these products by means of TV, radio, department stores, grocery stores, beauty consultants (working with a MLM line) CVS, Walgreens etc. The products aren't strong enough to hurt your skin providing you use them correctly. Many of my clients are happy with their products and being a professional I respect their choice. However, I think it all depends on what your expectations are, if a client is really happy using an OTC product then that's good. Personally I'm happy to let my facials speak for themselves as my main focus is my client's satisfaction.
Professional: 2% and higher, up to 10% of active ingredients. The professional has a license and education that pertains to application and you can find these products in a salon, spa, dermatologist and plastic surgeon's office. As these products are result orientated the focus and motivation behind the product is change. But for real change you'll need a higher active ingredient in the product .
Medical: 10% and higher of active ingredients. This is a prescription product only. The doctor prescribes the product for real change but it is mainly the patients who receive prescriptions for skin conditions and diseases.
I hope this sheds some light on the subject. If you're confused and want personal attention in this matter then I'd be happy to help you. I conduct a comprehensive 2 1/2 hour appointment in the comfort of a woman's home, a one on one with emphasis on my clients concerns together with any questions they might have. This is a great opportunity to examine the makeup and skincare she has in her drawers and is currently using. I go though their makeup and pitch the old, dated, wrong and expired. Believe me there are a lot of crazy things in a woman's purse, I can understand why men are afraid of them. I then give suggestions for positive changes.
Although Mary Kay started this idea I approach it from a slightly different perspective where my focus is on education not sales. I also do a step by step makeup application with a detailed instruction. The makeup is removed and my client can then apply the makeup herself with further instruction. I will demonstrate the most progressive techniques in makeup application and teach you how to accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative.
After I leave clients are so happy that they ask me to do closets, kitchens and garages…but I think I'll just stay with what I know. I do love what I do especially when I see the proverbial light bulb go on when a client figures out her daily regime and gets the look she is needing. It is magical!
When it comes to products ask yourself a simple question, are you happy with it and is it helping you? Are you getting results? If not then I suggest you go up a grade level. It can make all the difference in your skin! I love and recommend Randy James LeBrecque's line Rande James… check it out www.randejames.com and GloTherapeutics http://www.glotherapeutics.com !
