Android Sells 100,000 Smartphones per Day, What Does That Mean?
Right after I finished my 1Q total Smartphone Market Analysis, Google came out with the statement that they now sell 100,000 smartphones per day. There are 61 models of Android handsets by 21 branded manufacturers [including Google itself with its Nexus One as one Android handset model].

against horrible sandwiches from the shops ( even the gourmet ones seems to taste of nothing …how do they do that… they always taste "cold" ) . So its nice being home a lunchtime and making my own food
So in the flat there is currently a big pot of ratatouille on the stove……. for eating with crusty bread
Aubgergine , Courgette , Garlic , Red Onion , Mushrooms roughly choped mixed with tinned plum tomatoes and mixed herbs , red wine if available , olives too Simmer for 45minutes leave in pot on the stove to heat as required
I find lots of warming and tasty vegeatables soups are…vital to get through the vegebox mound
Paprika Cauliflower Soup this was to have been a a pumpkin soup ( with leftovers from the lantern) but noticed some cauliflower about to go bad. Sauteed cauliflower with roasted garlic and smoked paprika . Add a splash of boling water and simmer til the cauliflower is soft ( overcooked). Add a splash of milk and puree… Really delicious and creamy
Leek and Apple Soup -Chop one large leek and one large apple per person. sweat in a pan with butter salt and pepper add half a cup of hot water per person. Puree return to pan and stir in a little more hot water and crumble in some stilton …warm through ….
Brocooli and Stilton Cook broccoli til tender in pan with water drain and pour over milk liquidise and return to pan crumble in stilton ( you only need a little cos its very flavoursome when heated) and warm gently … Add a little salt and pepper to taste serve
In the summer delicious salads get me through ………
Greek Salad Many years ago I went to Crete with my mum and brother a tragic teenager rebellion I was vegetarian ( its lasted 10 years ) which meant over the course of 2 weeks. I ate close to 30 of these babies in various places bcame a connosiur and perfected a recipe- . its not classy but its tastes so good. Chop iceberg lettuce and cucumber stick in bowl slice tomatoes and onions ( red are pretty but who cares really ) throw over some feta cheese, olives capers , mixed herbs and lots of black pepper and dowse with oilve oil and white wine vinegar . its so good to eat cos you have to stir it a lot to get all bits coated in in dressing a small pieces of feta & at the end you have to mop with some bread all round the bowl .
Artichoke , Asparagus and Feta Salad dressed with lemon , oil and pepper
Roast Squash with Feta and Rocket dressed with mustard and balasamic vinegar
Baked Aubergine Preserved Lemon Lemon and Goats Cheese Salad

We have a group of Chinese visitors on our campus. There are 4 college students and 1 professor. The students will be here for 1 month and the professor is here for 2 months. Today they joined our Appalachian Trail class on a hike in Bastian, Virginia on a short section of the Appalachian Trail. It was a beautiful hike crossing Little Wolf Creek about 6 times and walking under a few tunnels of Rhododendron bushes. In all we had 27 people on this hike. We also saw lots of mushrooms and flowers and only got our feet a little wet.

Traithlon cycling – Challenge Wanaka
Thought for the day…" We learn the ropes of life by untying the knots"
" Better to be an optimist who gets disappointed than a pessimist who has no hope".
There are 2 classes of cycle speed records, paced (where the cyclist is cycling behind a screen to shield from the wind) or unpaced. Sebastian Bowier (Netherlands) holds the fastest unpaced cycle record on the flat, 133.7 km/h. The highest unpaced speeds have been reached downhill, with the fastest ones being attained downhill on snow. Eric Barone (France) reached 222 km/h in Les Arcs in the year 2000. And for endurance, the record for the distance cycled in 24 hours on roads is held by Jean Pascal Rouse (France) in Caderousse in 2009 when he cycled 839 km, which is an average of over 34.9 km/h.
Another photo of the cycling leg of Challenge Wanaka for the photo today. Taken this year at the final corner before T2 (transition 2). The cycling leg was won by Dougal Allen, with a time of 4 hours 30 minutes 50 seconds for the scenic 180km course. Challenge Wanaka is said to be the world's most scenic triathlon competition. The next race takes place on 20th February 2016.

The mic gain on this device goes from 0-30
QuoteThe mic gain on this device goes from 0-300 - 90 is the range of input adjustment 0 - 30 is the range of playback / monitoring adjustment. Sound like he was using the wrong control.
Hmm. With the device set to zero on the input scale, any clipping must have been from incoming levels to which you really shouldn't expose your ears! But maybe I'm showing my age...One thing I'd suggest at a gig like that, and that would be to try the low cut at 40Hz. In my tests, it appears that the recorder has a very extended - rising even - bass response, almost down to DC, and if there's a lot of LF stuff coming at it, the recorder may be clipping largely due to the bottom end being almost too well reproduced. I think it's significant that almost all the presets that Tascam provide on the easy setting wheel incorporate that LF cut. I know it goes against the grain to ditch part of the frequency spectrum during recording, but that might be the only way to get a clip-free outcome. I suspect that the limiter works in the digital domain - that seems to be the usual thing these days - so if the source is really loud, the clipping might be happening in the analog stages before the limiter. I could be wrong though...
What is the "trim level"?? I searched the manuals and no hits on "trim". Is this the same thing as turning the Input Level Volume Control dial?
Also, is it possible to change the mic sensitivity on the DR-22WL like can be done on the Sony PCM-M10?

I'm home from work it's six a.m.
To sleep a while then up again.
I laid the babe up in his crib
His eighteen months have been a gift.
The nap he takes is all I get
Some days four hours, but others less.
I dream of fields of flowers bloomed,
But soon I'm here, back in my room.
My grandma's here; she calls my name
I scream out "What?" Am I insane?
There's no one there, no noise I hear
So back to sleep no need to fear.
I hear again this, "Pamela K!
Get up right now! You musn't wait!"
I look around, there's no one there,
But smoke it pours from yonder there.
I quickly run to my kitchen door
And there my babe sits on the floor.
A poisoned bottle in his hand
To take a drink had been his plan.
He climbed down from his place of rest
My child locks had failed the test.
I swoop him up into my arms
My precious gift is safe from harm.
Now wait a sec, where is the smoke?
And Grandma she passed years ago!
A tingle runs right down my spine
My son, he smiles at the light.
"Thank you, Grandma for saving him!
For being our own guardian!"
Her angel kiss was in my tear
As it crossed my lips I felt her here.
Then just as quick, she's gone again
Though she's not far, my guardian!

Granddaughter to Hazel Hanna-McFadden

Nwachukwu Egbunike
The Nigeria landscape is still littered with un-kept and broken promises. Various governments on inauguration make pacts with the people, but these dreams hardly materialise and hopes for a brighter future are always shattered. As a result, most Nigerians have developed a cynical attitude that borders on distrust of the establishment at all levels.
Since the government of any nation is saddled with the responsibility of promoting the common good, it behoves common sense that it works towards its realisation. The common good is simply "the sum total of social conditions which allows people, either as groups or as individuals to reach their fulfilment more fully and more easily." Because governments have an indispensible role to play in the attainment of this good for their immediate society. As such it must promote peace, stability and security. Yet, this common good cannot be achieved in a nation lacking the basic utilities – housing, food, education, etc., – hence many governments end up making plans for the future.
Unfortunately, in Nigeria, the issue have not been that of lack of plans. The pathetic outcome is that various governments have made bogus promises, which they never set out to achieve.
Welcome to the soap opera of murky Nigerian politics, were promises are mere words and carry no weight. By default Nigerian public space is strewn with promises, promises and nothing else. Apparently, the political class see no dishonour in making or breaking a pact.
It's hard to demur with Martin Oluba's assertion that, "(a) promises are made when there are absolutely no intentions to keep them and (b) even wrong promises deliberately are made. The latter refer to promises which in pursuing the selfish interest of the promise maker harm the prospects of those to whom the promise has been made. Nigerian government has been a major culprit in making promises that are never fulfilled."
On 1 October 1974, in flagrant contradiction to his earlier promises, General Yakubu Gowon declared that Nigeria would not be ready for civilian rule by 1976. As if that was not enough, Gowon extended the transition to civil rule to a no time limit. But Gowon's endless transition was truncated on 25 July 1975, by Brigadier Murtala Mohammed.
The Murtala regime though short-lived gained massive local support. General Murtala initiated a comprehensive review of the Third National Development Plan. Singling out inflation as the greatest danger to the economy, he was determined to reduce the money supply that had been swollen by government expenditures on public works. Unfortunately, this popular general was killed on February 13, 1976 in an abortive coup attempt led by Lt. Col Buka Suka Dimka, when his car was ambushed while en route to his office at Dodan Barracks, Lagos.
General Olusegun Obasanjo took over the reins of leadership after Murtala's demise. Since Murtala's stint on the saddle was brief, it is therefore not easy to evaluate his promises. Obasanjo to his credit handed over government to a democratically elected president in 1979. In that vein, he lived up to the major promise of the Murtala-Obasanjo era.
Alhaji Shehu Shagari made housing, industries, transportation and agriculture the cardinal triad of his administration. Like others before him, Shagari failed to keep up to his ambitious dreams. His housing scheme only translated to disjointed homes like the 'Shagari Estate'. The 'Green Revolution' was supposed to mechanise farming techniques and produce food in abundance. On the contrary it seems it was only a conduit pipe for retired soldiers and some politicians to acquire large hectares of lands. With their access to fertilizer and seedlings, they grew fat while other citizens had a green curse. Also Shagari's industrial programme in Delta and Ajaokuta Steel Complex are living manifestation of incompetence and corruption. If ever was a promise he kept, it was the popularisation of 'white elephant' projects in Nigeria's lexicon.
On December 31, 1983, General Muhammadu Buhari shoved out Shagari, in a palace coup. Buhari together with Tunde Idiagbon,who was his Chief of General Staff won popular acclaim with their War Against Indiscipline (WAI). The campaign which aimed at deterring chaos which had hitherto characterised public life, was one promise fulfilled. However, Buhari-Idiagbon's honeymoon did not last long, as they tighteened the noose on Nigerians, the reprehensible promulgation of the State Security (Detention of Persons) Decree No. 2, which gave the government the right to detain indefinitely, without trial any person(s) it suspected to be a threat to the nation; and the Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) Decree No. 4, which essentially criminalised any unfounded allegation against government officials in the press, no matter how trivial.
Riding on the waves of cleansing the polity of corruption, Buhari's downfall was precipitated with a promise to investigate allegations of corruption in the Ministry of Defence. This push to beam the rays of light on his very own, the military, was claimed to be the beginning of his end. He was kicked out by fellow members of the Supreme Military Council, lead by General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB) on August 27, 1985.
Babangida made many promises, some were fulfilled while others never materialised. The lists of his achievements in power are: Abrogation of the Public Officers (Protection Against False Accusation) Decree No. 4; Establishment of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA); establishment of the Nigeria Agricultural Land Development Authority (NALDA); Peoples Bank of Nigeria ( PBN); National Board for Community Banks (NBCB); Establishment of National Directorate of Employment (NDE); Better Life Program for Rural Women (BLP); Raw Material Research Council (RMRC) and the Federal Road Safety Commission. Others are the establishment of the National Productivity Centre; National Economic Reconstruction Fund (NERFUND); National Political Bureau; Directorate of Foods, Roads and Rural Infrastructure (DFRRI) etc.
Though most of the achievements enumerated above can be contested, nonetheless the numero uno promise which the General from Minna failed to keep was handing over to a democratically elected government.
IBB promised democracy to the nation come 1992 after many years of an endless transition programme. But as the date approached, there were many suspicions that this promise was not going to be kept. As predicted in some quaters, the government broke the dreams of seeing a civilian president with the fiat of a dictator. Claiming fraud, money-dominated politics, he postponed the elections for a year. In a bid to clone 'new breed politicians' IBB banned politicians of the 'old school' and bankrolled two political parties with taxpayers money. On June 12 of 1993, Moshood Abiola won the election but was never sworn in. Babangida annulled the freest and fairest election in Nigerian history. The outcome of the annulment forced him to 'step aside' on August 27, 1993 and appointed Ernest Shonekan, as Head of Interim Government. For the betrayal of the right of Nigerians to voluntary choose via the ballot box, IBB remains till date, a villain of democracy.
Sani Abacha gave Vision 2010 to Nigeria. While the aim is not to peep into the intention behind Abacha's vision, the fact is that he championed a dream which was flushed down the drain by subsequent governments. The magical year – 2010 – which seemed to dwell in the realm of a futuristic impossibility has finally dawned and none of the items listed in Abacha's Vision has been fulfilled.
The Vision 2010 council, a mosaic of 248 sages headed by Ernest Shonekan, was inaugurated on November 27, 1996. "The committee's mandate, set out in a 14-item Terms of Reference, required it to develop a blueprint that will transform the country and place it firmly on the route to becoming a developed nation by the year 2010." The NigeriaExchange posits that "the committee worked for 10 months using the following methodology: plenary sessions, held in the form of 12 workshops, spread over the period; sub-committees on particular problem areas; 57 external workshops; specifically commissioned studies; consideration of 750 memoranda from the general public; presentations by guest speakers, and Intensive brainstorming among committee members."
Obasanjo fared better in his second coming, though he left a litany of unkept promises. "On my honour, by the end of 2001, Nigerians would begin to enjoy regular, uninterrupted power supply". Obasanjo left Nigerians in darkness till date despite the National Integrated Power Projects (NIPP).
The National Poverty Alleviation Programme (PAP) only changed its name but not focus to National Poverty Eradication Programme (NAPEP). Professor Attahiru Jega contends that "NAPEP was ostensibly established by after a thorough (or high profile) evaluation and assessment of successive policy and programmatic attempts to tackle the problem of poverty in the country." but Obasanjo's NAPEP did not banish hunger or poverty. On the contrary, 70% of 150 million Nigerians still live in poverty. Like PAP before it NAPEP was got enmeshed in corruption, over-politicisation, uncoordinated management and sundry Nigerian establishment malaise.
The seven point agenda of Alhaji Umaru Yar'Adua are: power and energy; food security and agriculture; wealth creation and employment; mass transportation; land reform; security; and qualitative and functional education. By 2015, Nigeria's power play will have ceased. One does not intend to state the obvious; only a surreal imagination can fabricate such fantasy. Nigerians have long realised that it makes no sense connecting to the national grid; with I better pass my neighbour, power is assured. At the end of 2009, the government failed to achieve its 6,000 megawatts of electricity as promised.
The gains that were made in the Niger Delta with the amnesty are currently sitting on a cliff. As things stand, the delta is as inflammable as their oil and gas. For the disarmed militants are frustrated with the government inability to implement the amnesty package.
However, Yar'Adua greatest blunder has been his inability to hand over power to his deputy. It is particularly painful to Nigerians, for a president that flaunts his rule of law credentials not to obey the constitution. The country was almost flung on the brink of disaster with his failure to transfer the powers of his office to his deputy, Jonathan Goodluck, in contravention of the law.
It isbecomes quite obvious that the general apathy of Nigerians to government promises is based on a long history of betrayals. Since practically all pacts with the people have been broken, their dreams turned into nightmares, who will blame Nigerians for failing to remember the cruelty of countless treachery?

SUPREME COURT: Police Can Force Open Your Mouth And Swab Your DNA
Justice Antonin Scalia, one of the court's most outspoken conservatives, wrote the dissenting opinion that was joined by three of the court's liberal justices. Scalia's dissent questioned Kennedy's assertion that DNA helps police identify suspects.
"The court's assertion that DNA is being taken, not to solve crimes, but to identify those in the state's custody taxes the credulity of the credulous," Scalia writes in his dissent.

(New York) – The United States should publicly demand that the Cambodian government retract threats to retaliate against the political opposition in Cambodia if there are protests at the upcoming US-ASEAN summit over Prime Minister Hun Sen's participation. US President Barack Obama will meet with Hun Sen and other leaders of the 10-country Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on February 15-16, 2016, at the Sunnylands estate in California.
Obama should also publicly press Hun Sen to end violence and harassment of opposition supporters, drop criminal charges against peaceful protesters, and release all political prisoners in the country.
"Hun Sen and his surrogates are telling American citizens that if they exercise their right to protest on US soil there will be attacks against the political opposition in Cambodia," said Brad Adams, Asia director. "The US government should say publicly that it won't allow a leader with a proven record of violence to chill speech in the US."
On October 25, 2015, after peaceful protests against an official visit to Paris by Hun Sen which he said had been organized by the opposition Cambodian National Reconciliation Party (CNRP), he warned, "If someone comes back at you tomorrow in Phnom Penh with the same game, don't be angry." He added, "Tomorrow there will be a demonstration in Phnom Penh against the opposition party to demand the removal" of CNRP Acting President Kem Sokha from his post of first vice-president of the National Assembly.
A large and well-organized demonstration by forces loyal to Hun Sen took place as forecast, with many members of the army and the prime minister's bodyguard unit, dressed in civilian clothes, identified as participants. This was followed by a premeditated and brutal assault on two CNRP National Assembly members on the grounds of the parliament. Members of government security forces were involved in the attack. Both victims had to be evacuated to Bangkok for emergency medical treatment. Soon afterward, the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) met in parliament in the absence of the boycotting CNRP members and removed Kem Sokha from his post.

Good gloves for small hands, they work great with my phone. They pill easily but for that price and the fact that people are usually quick to loose gloves they're still great.
2015-12-08 20:12:20
I love these gloves. The quality is much better than expected. At first I thought they were going to be too big since my hands a pretty small, but once I put them on and pushed the fingers down a little, they fit perfectly. Best of all, now I can work my phone in the cold!!! Great buy, highly recommended.
2014-12-22 04:32:09
it is wonderful !!! My daughter excited about this. It is very convenient to use!
2014-12-21 06:06:05
Very nice gloves, very stylish, but not so warm. Instead of the warmness they lose, the fingers for the touch screens works fine. That was the main reason for me to buy them and they do the work.
2014-01-14 05:37:02
Good value for money. Now the price is raised, I got them for 1.99$. But the size and colours available are all girlish, no choice for boys. The wrist part is very short. I would recommend it to girls only for for boys with very small fist.
2013-10-23 08:55:01
Cold hands especially in the cold times of the year by working with my Android Tablet are history since I have this gloves. It takes a short time to be used to it but then you can type and work with your touchscreen like without this gloves everywhere outside in park or whenever it's cold.

I am a huge fan of drugstore products when it comes to makeup. Most of the products I use on a daily basis are drugstore. I really love when I can find an amazing product, that is under $10. It makes me like the product even more when I know not only does it look amazing, but I am also getting a really good deal and saving lots of $$$ in the process! These are some of of favorite beauty products under $10!
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner. This is one of my favorite eyeliners ever! It's very pigmented, and lasts for a really long time on the eyes. I use this to do winged liner, and it is so easy with this gel liner!
Maybelline Volum' Express Falsies Mascara. I really love this mascara because it has two sides, one for the upper lashes, and one for the lower lash line. I have been using this mascara for several years now, and have gone through probably 5 or 6 bottles, but I will always continue to repurchase this one!
L'Oreal Infallable Eyeshadow. This is such an amazing eyeshadow product from the drugstore, I don't think I have ever heard a negative review of this product, especially the shade Amber Rush. It is just so pretty, and such a nice creamy and blendable formula.
Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream. I have raved about this BB cream before, but it is my favorite! It's not too heavy on the face, but provides just enough coverage, it's perfect!
Mario Badescu Facial Spray. This spray is so nice and refreshing. I really like to use it as a primer, before i do my makeup, I douse myself in this spray. This spray is nice because it is super hydrating and since I have super dry skin it keeps my skin glowing and hydrated. I especially like this product for when I am wearing a lot of powders on my face.
Elf Baked Blush. I actually use this blush as a cheekbone highlight because it is so light, but it is literally the perfect glow, not too intense, but not to subtle either. I love this for everyday wear.
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream. I am not a huge fan of liquid lipsticks because they dry out my lips too much, but these matte lip creams are perfect! They have the same (or very similar) results to a liquid lipstick with the matte finish and long-lasting wear, but they are a very mousse-y formula and they don't dry out my lips. The color Copenhagen is my absolute favorite. I will line my lips with a lip liner and put this over top and my lipstick will stay in place all day!
NYX Slim Lip Pencil. These are my favorite lip pencils. They are very pigmented and super long lasting, and they are so inexpensive, you can't go wrong! They work perfectly underneath any lip product or on their own.
NYC Bronzer. This is the perfect bronzer, it is super pigmented, and not too dark, it really gives the skin a beautiful sun-kissed look.
Burt's Bees Lip Balm. This is my favorite lip balm ever. At any given moment I probably have between 5-10 of these stashed in different rooms in my house, and in all of my handbags, so I can have one with me no matter where I am. My lips dry out really easily so I always put this on, and it does such a good job of keeping my lips hydrated.
Great post! I think that people tend to forget that there are some drugstore products that are just as good (or better) than many luxury brands. Thanks for sharing! xoxo

One question plagues many people each year, what presents for young men are there. Each year there are birthdays, holidays and special events that require the purchase of a gift. Presents for young men can be hard to buy, but knowing what is popular may be a way to generate some ideas.
Ideas You Can Use
There are many places out on the internet to shop for young men. One can find ideas and tips for the presents through many different websites. Here are a few ideas for buying the young men in people's lives gifts.
One option would be something for a vehicle. Those young men who have cars might enjoy something to help them clean, shine, or add to their vehicle. There are ideas like gift certificates for oil changes or routine maintenance.
Clothes is one option that people buy. Most men are not as excited about clothes though as a young girls would be. The option to buy gift cards or to help the young man with school clothes would be a nice idea.
Although some people think this impersonal, a lot of people have gone to buying gift cards as presents for young men. One can purchase a multitude of different cards to places such as electronic stores, clothing stores or even restaurants and movies. These are a great gift to get when not sure what to buy. Some young men seem to have everything and this is one option for that person. One needs to read the fine print about the expiration dates though when buying a card as some companies will take money off the cards if not used.
Another option for a present would be magazine subscriptions. There are many different magazines out there that young men like to read. There are options like GQ, Maxim and Rolling Stone that most young men like. One could purchase a subscription for them or just a few months worth to find out if that is one that the person would like.
If the young person has a cell phone, one could purchase minutes for the phone. Most teens have phones that have to have minutes purchased to save on running up large phone bills. In this case, one could buy a few phone cards to refill those minutes. One could also go for electronics such as music players or video games. Most young men love video games so one could go this route.
All young men are different and would like different things. A person can do a little research into the one they are buying the gift for to ensure that the gift will be wanted and used. Often times money is one of the best presents one can give. This means that that person can go buy anything they like and one is assured they will like it. It can be a difficult task finding the right gift for that person in their life. Do a little research and one can rest easy that the gift will be a big hit.

Episode 76 Transcription
On today's episode, we're talking about the power of plenty, and giving the benefit of the doubt.
Cassy Joy: And we're back with another episode of the Fed and Fit podcast. I'm so excited to be back with you guys today; I am going rogue with today's episode. I had a wonderful time these last three weeks on the book tour with Diane, and I've learned the power of just kind of going with the flow, and not everything has to be the perfect setup. So I'm talking to you guys from my back patio here in not so sunny San Antonio because it's raining right now. Which is nice; I love the rain. So I figured it would be a great spot to talk about what we are going to talk about today.
So this thought occurred to me, really last night. I'm recording this episode a day after when I would have wanted to, but I promised my friends, namely Diane Sanfilippo and Juli Bauer that I would take a full day off. We were joking that; not so joking. They really both of them sat down and had heart to hearts with me and told me; they said, "Cassy, I know you don't take time off, but you must. You must take at least one day off." {laughs}
Diane and I joke that we're the kind of people that are either completely on or completely off, it's hard for me to just be moderately on. It's hard for me to just lightly check emails, but still kind of relax. So I did, I took the whole day off, and now we're back on Monday and I'm excited. I am refreshed, and I've been sleeping a lot, getting caught up. But it was a whirlwind of a book tour, a lot of fun, and the time off yesterday I think is the reason why today's podcast episode came to me. Once you really quiet the mind and give yourself some mental whitespace, which I talk about; I talked about a lot actually on our book tour in my talk about the Fed and Fit Project. But mental white space is a really significant thing, because it allows then your mind to kind of quiet and fill in with maybe more meaningful and more significant ideas.
So an idea that came to me yesterday, and it's something that I've thought about a lot. And it's a distinguishing factor I think in how some folks approach life, but I just never really had the words to put on it, and they came to me yesterday. So I want to talk about the benefit of the doubt. And I don't know how long this podcast is going to last; I don't know how long it's going to take. Because what I normally do, so you guys know, when I write a show, when it's just myself, I will draft out show notes and it's not necessarily a script but I'll write down the bullet points of what I want to talk about just to jog my memory while I'm going through the show. And it also helps me know how long; because I kind of have an idea how many words on a page converts into time on a show.
So I don't really know what today's going to be like; I've got it just jotted down on a post it note; which is kind of fun. But it goes with the theme of the show; giving myself the benefit of the doubt that we can just figure it out. You can jump and life will be ok. You'll figure it out. So this is just a very small example on a very large concept.
So, really the question is; what would the world look like if everybody gave the benefit of the doubt instead of just doubting? This is an important distinction, because I think that; I don't know. I'm not going to pretend to know if we're hard wired to doubt, of if it's just an adaptation of adulthood. Maybe we grow up and we get burned a couple of times, and then we start to just posture ourselves defensively against all the things that can happen in life. Whether we're doubting other people and their intentions in interacting with us, or we doubt ourselves. It's a very common thing. I'm definitely guilty of it from time to time, having doubt.
Again, this is kind of a silly example, but thinking I'm here at my home now; I remember, I'm going to bring this back around hopefully I'll remember to later {laughs} I don't have my show notes to remind me. But when I was writing the book, I remember having significant; and part of that was because I was so exhausted. And when we're tired we're more prone to doubt because it's the path of least resistance. It's easier to doubt than to give the benefit of the doubt.
But I remember writing the book I was exhausted; and after a full day of shooting, photographing recipes, jotting down recipe notes; some recipes didn't work out the way I wanted them to, and it set my schedule back. And it was such a bummer. It's so; I can't tell you how empowering it is, and so much fun, to write down, let's say on a whiteboard I had 8 recipes that I was going to make and shoot that day. And if I was going to photograph the recipe, then I thought the recipe was down. Because I made all of them several times in advance before taking photos, and if the recipe didn't turn out exactly the way I wanted it to in taste, or texture, or whatever, then I'd have to postpone it again and make it again another day to take a new photo and to fine tune it and tweak it.
And it was such a bummer, and that would weigh on you; the fact that you were on your feet for 10 hours that day would weigh; and I remember looking at my kitchen {laughs} and it was such a mess. And I remember, honest to goodness, you guys; this sounds very dramatic, but I remember looking at the kitchen, and honestly thinking; "it's never going to be clean. It's never going to be clean! Look at all those dishes! I will never unbury myself from all of those dishes. Never. That's just not even an option." I really thought that every single day, and I would joke with my husband; it would just be easier to burn it and build new. {laughs} Let's just start all over.
I mean, yes, I was exhausted and just had maybe a couple of recipes fail, and I just wasn't feeling that hot. But that was my natural inclination; the path of least resistance was to doubt that I would be able to unbury myself from this mountain of work that this looming deadline; I would not be able to meet it. It was just easier to fall into that temptation.
And then, you know, almost in the same stride, or the next step where people would look at me, hear my "I'm never going to be able to clean these dishes." My husband Austin would say, "That's silly. You've got this." And he'd jump in and help, of course. But when it was all said and done, I was honestly surprised. I remember thinking; wow, I really never thought I'd get to this point!
And how much easier would that whole journey have been if I had just believed that things would get done. That I would meet my deadline. That the recipes would be great. And if a recipe wasn't going to workout after however many tries, then I'd cut it. Then it wouldn't be the end of the world; the book already has 190 recipes, that's plenty.
So how much more empowering is it to just believe that it's all going to be ok instead of believing that it's not? That you're going to fail. And I'm a relatively positive person, and this is, again, such a very light, surface level example of a very significant concept, but when we're tired and we've got a lot going on and we feel the pressure and the weight of the world, whether it's our work, or our family, or our own health, that it's so easy to fall into that temptation of doubt, so that's really what I want to talk about. Is what would the world look like if we gave the benefit of the doubt?
So, how does this really apply? And this is kind of going to be, I'm just going to talk in one very large circle, and hopefully it's a good takeaway for everybody. So, in which ways can we give the benefit of the doubt? If we're looking outwardly. And some of you listening to this, this might sound like, I can see how you might think this is a naïve concept. And that's something I've been accused of in my life, a lot. I'm now 30 years old; Oh, I dropped my sticky note into the rain. It's fine. {laughs}
I'm 30 years old, and I've been accused regularly of being naïve in the ways of the world. And the people who are accusing me of being naïve are usually those that have a Master's degree in doubting. They look at the world through a, "Everybody's out to get me" lens, and you really have to protect yourself. And while I do believe that it is important to protect yourself, and I hired a very smart lawyer to help me with my business, and to set myself up for success in the future, just as a preventative measure. But I don't believe that folks are out to get me. You know, I don't operate thinking that people are going to try and steal my business. Because then I wouldn't be able to go freely and do the work that I do, and have as much fun with it and work with as many people as I have the opportunity to work with.
So when it comes to giving the benefit of the doubt, I like to give the benefit of the doubt to my friends and my colleagues. Speaking specifically to business in this instance, I don't believe that people are going to steal my work. And if I did believe that people were going to steal my work, then wouldn't that keep me from doing it in the first place?
So I would encourage you to kind of self reflect. If you're; let's say you're in an office setting, and you have a really cool idea for a project. And you really; maybe you need somebody to help you bring it to fruition first before it can have enough visibility for someone else to see it and then maybe take it to the next level. But you're afraid to do it because you're afraid that somebody at the office is going to steal it away from you, or a higher up is going to take credit for it. Is that fear keeping you from pursuing something that's going to really enrich your life, and make you feel that much more fulfilled in your job?
If that's something you're encountering right now, I encourage you to just go for it. Give your colleagues the benefit of the doubt, and pursue that project boldly. That's so important. I put so much; I remember talking to some family about, you know, today we're in the age of content sharing. Content is king, and I'm constantly doing everything I can to give you guys as much free content as I can, and then building really valuable resources that you can then purchase, and that's how I keep my business going, like the book, and like the Fed and Fit Project. But this podcast is free, my blog is free, my social media, all that stuff is free and I probably spend over half of my time working on developing free content.
I remember talking to friends and family, saying, "What are doing developing; giving away all of these ideas? Don't you want to protect them?" And I can understand that sort of scarcity mindset, but at the end of the day, and people listening here who do have a blog understand this; or maybe you don't have a blog but you have a business, and maybe you dedicate yourself to research and you put together white papers that's essentially free content that you're giving to the world. You're showing your research. That really propels your business further than if you held some idea and some concept close to home and then launched it when you thought it was perfect and it was perfectly protected. There's a whole lot more value in just going for it and trusting the process. So when it comes to business, I say just go for it.
Ok, now let's look within. That's kind of in the work world; what about giving yourself the benefit of the doubt when it comes to health? So many of us have been burned on diet and weight loss, and I remember being there. Just kind of like my dirty kitchen. I remember looking in the mirror after I think my 6th diet that I had -yo-yoed back from, and I was in my early 20s, and I remember just being so down in the dumps about it. Oh my gosh; I mean it's so sad to think about now, {laughs} and it's raining where I am right now so it kind of reminds me of it, but I was just; oh I was weepy, I was so sad, I was so disappointed, and I just, I was at a point where I was trying to decide if that was life. If I'm just meant to be in pain, and if I'm just meant to constantly have to go buy new clothes every couple of months; get one size bigger, one size bigger. I had lost a little bit of weight on pretty much every diet that I did, and I talked about this at my book signings. But the reason I lost the weight in hindsight I understand is because I was just starving myself. I was calorie restricting to an extreme, and then as soon as the diet was up; 30 days, 45 days, whatever it was, I would bounce right back. Because I hadn't solved any underlying issues.
I remember looking in the mirror thinking; well, this is it. I mean, just doubting that I would ever be able to get out of that situation, and really believing that that was the life; I was resigning to live this life. Feeling like I was in somebody else's body, and feeling like I never really was going to; I don't know, live to feel and be my fullest.
So what if; and then of course there came another moment because I am kind of hardwired {laughs} to just see a little silver lining where I gritted my teeth, and I dug into science research; nutrition science research, stumbled across paleo, and decided this makes sense. But if I had never given myself the benefit of the doubt and believed I could work my way out of it; I just had to think outside the box. I had to do something different; I couldn't do another diet. I had to do something smart. I had to be more intelligent about my body and think more critically about how I was really going to heal it. Instead of fixing a problem, I needed to understand that I was healing a problem.
If I hadn't believed and given myself the benefit of the doubt, who knows where I would have been? So if you kind of feel that; "Oh my gosh, I'm never going to get off this hamster wheel of diets, and of feeling just like I'm walking around in someone else's body." You've got to stop, and you have to pause and give yourself the benefit of the doubt, and really believe that there is a way. There is a way. The world is enormous; the universe, and there has got to be a way for you to feel your best. It may just take you doing something that you've never done before, and thinking about your body in a way that you've never thought before. So give yourself the benefit of the doubt.
I also think; and weirdly, when we're out and about walking around, there's a lot of people; and I remember, this was a pivotal moment when I was younger, and I'm thankful I was given this advice. But somebody said to me once upon a time; I remember thinking, I said something out loud. I don't know if it was a mom, my mother, or somebody. I said, "Oh gosh, everybody is probably looking; people are looking at me because my…" I don't know, my hair was messed up or something like that. I was really self conscious about something on my body when I was younger; I was in my teens. And I remember somebody; an adult, I don't know if it was my mom or one of my best friends mom, said, "Cassy, don't be so self-centered. People are not looking at you the way you think they're looking at you. And if they are, they're probably thinking that you're just beautiful."
And it was an important turning point, because we tend to think that people look at us constantly, and see the worst in us. "Oh my gosh, they're probably all staring at that pimple I have on my forehead." Or, "Oh my gosh, people are probably looking at me and thinking about how," I don't know, "I've got big thighs, or I've got small feet, or I've got eye brows that really needed t be tended to. {laughs} The list can go on and on and on, but at the end of the day, A) probably nobody has noticed anything. They're probably thinking that you're this lovely, vibrant person, if they're thinking anything. And I think that's just important. Give strangers the benefit of the doubt. Walk around boldly believing that maybe people believe you're just beautiful and you're this vibrant person. How freeing and how wonderful would that be if we walked around and just shed our insecurities and just believe that everybody thought we were beautiful? How cool would that be, right?
So live in that. You can do that. This is a choice we can make. We can walk around in the day and we can assume that people think we're great drivers, that we're great parents. We can assume that the world believes we're good at our job, we're good at cooking; you know, whatever it is. We pick really fun outfits; whether other people are thinking about us or not, if we're going to believe that they are, let's believe they're thinking something positive and lovely about us. Because they probably are. And if they're not, then they're not thinking anything at all. So let go of those negative thoughts.
Ok, the benefit of the doubt. I mean I have some other thoughts here. Oh, here's a good one. Someone being a friend or a foe. I think that's an important one. I tend to give my friends the benefit of the doubt to the extreme. And I think that's important. And we can also talk about a significant other. If our partners or our friends aren't as good as describing with words, how they feel about us, you know or that they really care for us, let's give them the benefit of the doubt that maybe the language isn't there but the feelings are. You know, it doesn't hurt to believe that the relationship is good and healthy. And if it isn't, then you're able to with less hurt emotions approach it with an open heart, and wanting to heal and fix and redirect.
So I think it's really important when it comes to specific relationships with people that you love and care about to not get defensive in whether there is or isn't love or there is or isn't trust. It's important to be open minded and to give the relationship the benefit of the doubt. Whether or not it is in the best spot or not, you believe that it can be. And that just speaks; that opens the path a more direct path to a really healing, healthy relationship in the future. If you really believe that it's really possible; don't doubt. Believe that it's possible. So that's a lot.
And at the end of the day; I think this comes down to; I used to work at LuLuLemon Athletica; this is a good. Gosh, years ago maybe. I worked there for a spell. It was before I started Fed and Fit, and Diane and I actually worked there together; not together. Excuse me. We did not work there together. We both worked at LuLuLemon around, I think she worked there a few years before I did, two different parts of the country, but it was funny how we were talking about; I worked there before I started Fed and Fit because I always wanted something more to do. I like really getting my hands in a lot of things, and I was just having a lot of fun with it, and they're really vibrant, athletic people, and the idea of starting Fed and Fit while I was there. They have really great employee development, and it came up while I was working there, and they essentially said; well, you better go do it. What are you doing here, working selling stretchy pants? {laughs} Go do this amazing food blog thing you've thought of.
So that was a really cool experience, and one of my other big takeaways from there is they have this library of books that they encourage their educators to read. And one of the concepts; I can't remember if it was a book specifically or if it was a concept given in a book, because again it's been a while. But it was this concept of the power of plenty. And if you've ever thought about; if you're familiar with this concept then you might have an idea of where I'm going to go with this in closing out this episode, but the power of plenty, when it comes to retail is something that LuLuLemon does really well with.
So when you walk into a store, and you see that there are 20 headbands on a bar, or the holder that holds all the socks, it's completely full, or you see that the racks have 15 different red shirts and 15 different blue shirts; and those are first and foremost; and there are one or two black shirts or one or two grey shirts left, they put those to the very back. Because when you see the abundance of a color, in a size or in a cut or in a style of athletic ware, the abundance draws you to it and it kind of gives you this warm, fuzzy feeling. Like there's security in it. You know that you're going to find something there that you want. It's just very compelling; the power of plenty. If there's plenty there, then you're going to be drawn towards it.
So how I want to tie this into today's episode is if we believe that there is an abundance and goodness and love and possibility and success in business; there's an abundance of success available for you, even if your colleague comes in and maybe takes some of the credit. There's still an abundance there for you. And even if, you know, you and your boyfriend or your girlfriend are trying to figure out, I don't know, maybe there are little hiccups in the road and you and your spouse or your significant other, there's an abundance of love and comfort and security there available for you; you've just got to work on it. And even if you are kind of in a rut with your health and your wellness, and you just got back from the doctor and they told you that your numbers are off, and you really need to consider going on medications, and you feel like you've been dieting, and you don't feel like there's an end in sight of this hamster wheel of just dieting; you need to believe that there's an abundance of health available to you.
And when we believe that there's plenty of health and love and success and financial freedom; whatever it is that you want in your life, when you believe that there's plenty of it, you'll be drawn towards it. So keep that in mind. The power of plenty and the power of giving the benefit of the doubt are pivotal. And if you find yourself stuck in a rut or in a hamster wheel of doubt, there's a concept and song called doubting Thomas {laughs} by Nickel Creek, I think it was Nickel creek or maybe when Chris Thile spun off and did his own thing; I really love bluegrass.
But I think about that; you know, if you're feeling in this episode maybe you do identify a little bit with being somewhat of a doubting Thomas, try on the benefit of the doubt hat. Try on that power of plenty. Try on believing that there's an abundance of goodness out there for you. Because you have to believe it before you can actually get there. I don't want to be too cheesy and say believe it so you can achieve it, but it's really the truth. You have to believe it before you can achieve it. If you don't believe there's a door out of whatever situation you're in right now; if you don't believe there's a door there, you'll never open it up and you'll never walk through it. So you have to believe that it's there. You have to believe that there's another side.
Believe in it so strongly that it starts to glow and really pull you towards it. Almost; it almost feels involuntary once you really do shift your perspective and shift your mindset. And then you're just kind of on a downhill ride towards success. And it's so much more fun that way. When we stop doubting ourselves, and we stop doubting others, even though we might get burned; the burns hurt less. And it's something my husband said; I talked to him before I recorded this episode. I said, "Is there anything else you can think of where the benefit of the doubt plays a significant role in life?" And he said, essentially, he said, "Well people just need to believe. You're going to get burned, regardless, but you might as well get burned expecting the best than get burned expecting the worst." You know?
So there's no more harm in getting burned when you're looking for the best. So don't be so protective over your positive outlook, and seeing the best in people and in the world. You've got this; I want you to know that you've totally got this. And if you're really in a rut, maybe the shift could be just seeing and believing that there is possibility out there for you. Because there is. There absolutely is. And if you don't see it yet, know that I see it for you, and I could probably answer; if anybody called in and asked, I would definitely probably give them the same answer.
Which is something that I might do in the coming weeks, is opening up the show to sort of an anonymous call. So if that's something that you're interested in go ahead and shoot me an email at firstname.lastname@example.com. C-A-S-S-Y-J-O-Y @ https://FedandFit.com. If you're interested in possibly coming on the show to chitchat; it would have to probably be, you know, we couldn't get too personal with clinical questions even though I am a nutrition consultant, but just to chat, and chat about life. So if that's something you're interested in, please jot down that email, send me a note, and at the end of the day believe that you do have the power to make your dreams come true. It's out there; there's an abundance available for you, there's plenty of it. So you've totally got this.
Thanks for listening to today's episode; we're coming in just under 30 minutes, which is just right on time. I gave myself the benefit of the doubt that I could do it sitting on my back patio, and it happened. What do you know? {laughs} So thank you guys for dialing in, as always. I have some really exciting interviews coming up in the next coming weeks. So keep your ears and eyes peeled for that, and we'll be back again soon.

As I walked to the post office this morning I noticed that everything around me was in bloom. It didn't feel like a warm spring morning and the sun wasn't out but the flowering trees were colorful and abundant. I decided that this would be a great day to spend time outdoors. I met a friend and her dog for a run through Sutro Park and Lands End. The views from up there are stunning (I'll bring my phone to snap a photo next time) and the dog pushed me to run faster than usual. I had hoped that, coming from altitude, I'd pant less as I made my way up the many steps from the beach and then again to the top of the trail, but no such luck. It was just as hard as ever. Also, the pulled muscle from Saturday's hike seems to have moved down my leg and is feeling worse after today's workout so I'll have to take it easy tomorrow.
The workout:
Mixed fun run/walk 1 hour
–bring dog along who likes to run fast when running and take frequent sniffing/peeing breaks
–include stairs (find them in most cities at a stadium, in your hotel, on mapmyrun or via yelp reviews)

Get Relief with Chiropractic Care
Numbness and tingling are symptoms of nerve damage or injury that may be treatable through Gateway Chiropractic, where Dr. Sas offers comprehensive chiropractic care to the St. Louis and surrounding Missouri communities.
Tech ``Text`` Neck
Poor Posture
Muscle Strain
Tingling & Numbness Q & A
What are some of the causes of numbness and tingling?
Numbness and tingling are caused by nerve damage. Nerve damage is defined as the disruption of the function of the nerve and its task to relay electronic messages from the nervous system to muscles and connective tissue. The causes that disrupt nerves include pressure from bones, muscles, and tendons to traumatic injuries which may sever nerves. As you can see, the range of issues that may cause numbness and tingling of extremities varies greatly. For that reason, it's important that symptoms, such as numbness and tingling, be accurately diagnosed so that treatment can be specific and comprehensive.
How can neck problems cause my fingers to feel numbness and tingling?
The cervical region of the spine, which is your neck, is a nerve center where nerves are distributed to your arms and into your back and chest. Any disruption in the alignment of vertebrae—the bones or muscles of the neck and spine, in the torso, and even in your arms—can cause pressure on any of those nerves that run down to your fingers. The result is numbness and tingling; sometimes the results include pain, a burning sensation, or even loss of feeling and strength in your fingers or arms. Because the spine is a comprehensive neurological tool, Gateway Chiropractic and Dr. Sas focus on accurately diagnosing causes of numbness and tingling, and then developing a comprehensive treatment plan that is specific to each patient.
Can chiropractic care resolve numbness and tingling?
The answer to that question is unique to each individual patient. Numbness and tingling are often correctable. The goal is always to discover the cause of the issue and then correct it so that nerves have an opportunity to resume their function. That process is not always immediate, and sometimes the feeling of numbness and tingling never goes away. The best place to start is with a diagnosis so that you can make an informed decision about how to proceed with your care.
Words From Happy Gateway Chiropractic Patients
I have seen many chiropractors since college in effort to fix a few different issues, and Dr Sas is the ONLY one who sat down and created a full treatment plan AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT. Personally, I like to know what's going on when a Dr is treating me, and he has always been very transparent in my care plan. After 6 years I can finally cross my legs sitting down again, and it keeps getting better.
Meagan Woodruff
I had A LOT of irrational anxiety about getting chiropractic work done. But Dr. Sas was very down-to-earth and didn't feed me any b.s. He understood my anxiety, but made sure that I understood he was in this with me and for me. After 4 months, he is now one of my most favorite humans and I look forward to our visits. Oh, and I guess it's probably important to note that his treatments are actually helping me. So, there's that.
T Spencer
Dr Sas is amazing!! I went from having back pain daily to being symptom free after about a month in his care. I have seen other chiropractors before and I can't say enough about how great Dr Sas is compared to the competition. His office staff is incredibly nice and knows everyone by name. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND anyone and everyone to go see Dr Sas at Gateway Chiropractic!

That makes it feel like the Lion are always losing even though most of the time they are winning. I think it's easily fixed. I've been wanting more low level military POVs from the Lion to help capture those sorts of stories and also communicate why a Lion would be proud. What is it they treasure about their clan and their culture? I think there's a wealth of meat on the bones for Lion stories that haven't been told yet without pushing the narrative further. I like Toturi, but it feels like he steals much of their screen time unfortunately. A Lion RPG supplement would help greatly as well. I hope that comes sooner rather than later considering I feel like it's the clan least explored right now in the new continuity. I think the clear hole in the fictions for the Lion is magnified by their lack of competitive performance in the card game. Hopefully that's fixed now that their clan pack as been announced. They have been getting a flood of new card support. In terms of a Lion RPG supplemental product, I suspect one will be coming down the pipe in the next 1 to 2 years FFG seems to be pairing 1 major clan, 1 minor clan, and one deep delve into an aspect of Rokugan with each supplemental product release so far. Emerald Empire: General Info On Rokugan + Imperial Family Clan Info + Fox Minor Clan Info Shadowlands: Info On The Shadowlands + Crab Clan Info + Falcon Minor Clan Info Courts Of Stone: Info On Rokugani Politics/Diplomacy + Crane Clan Info + Deer Minor Clan Info The Lion one will likely come either in the middle or the end of the current supplemental product run. It will probably be paired with a deep dive into Rokugani warfare. As to the minor clan paired with them who knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jennifer Schwein taught kindergarten for 14 years in Riverview Community School District, where she earned an "effective" rating on every year-end evaluation she received. Yet she was pink-slipped in 2015 ahead of others—including a less experienced teacher who also scored "effective" but with lower numeric scores.
Schwein, 51, still has not been recalled to a full-time position—even though she was qualified and certified for several elementary teaching positions filled since her layoff. Instead, she was offered part-time positions at the hourly pay rate for paraeducators—$10 an hour.
Since her layoff, among other openings she was qualified to fill, a first-year teacher was hired for a first-grade teaching job—and a vacant third grade teaching position was taken by a sister of one of the district's administrators.
"It's just not fair," Schwein said.
In a federal lawsuit MEA is filing on Schwein's behalf, MEA lawyers contend the district's interpretation of Michigan's Teachers' Tenure Act represents an unconstitutional infringement of teachers' rights. Tenure is a property right that MEA lawyers contend the state and school districts can't take away through legislative changes or their application.
"A tenured teacher has a right to be 'employed continuously by the controlling board' under the Teachers' Tenure Act, and we believe that creates a federal contractual right that can't be impaired by the state or the district," said MEA General Counsel Mike Shoudy.
"Additionally, the failure to recall Ms. Schwein to the vacant positions that she is certified and qualified to hold amounts to a de facto discharge without due process of law," Shoudy contends.
Changes to Michigan's tenure law in 2011 mandated that length of service or tenure status could not be the primary determining factor in school personnel decisions. School district policies for hiring, layoffs, and recalls must be based on retaining effective teachers, under the law.
The law contains provisions for taking away a teacher's tenure, but some districts are ignoring those procedures and using the evaluation law to layoff tenured teachers—while subverting the protections of the Teachers' Tenure Act—and refusing to recall effective teachers like Schwein to vacant positions. "It's wrong, and we are going to try to do something about it," Shoudy said.
"We are filing this federal complaint to challenge the state law and how districts have been applying it. Districts have been using the law in ways that create fear and distrust for our members."
Other states have followed the same path as Michigan in attempting to weaken teacher tenure by connecting layoffs and recalls more closely to evaluations. In 2015, a federal judge in Indiana ruled portions of that state's revisions to its tenure law unconstitutional.
When the Riverview district in southwestern Wayne County laid off Schwein, parents and grown former students turned out to support her at a school board meeting to no effect, she said. She has since worked as a substitute teacher, but the emotional and financial effects of her layoff have been devastating.
"My son was with me when I signed up for unemployment, and it was very emotional for me because I'd never had to do that before," said Schwein, a married mother of one 13-year-old boy.
Foremost, she wanted to participate in the lawsuit in defense of her own reputation as a strong educator, she said. But she also hoped to be a voice for teachers too frightened to speak up about issues because their administrators wield evaluations and layoffs like a club to silence people.
"Win or lose, at least I tried to do something about it," she said.

New Delhi economy has seen a steady growth in the past few years with foreign investment taking place in Delhi coupled by the boom in sectors such as Real Estate, Information technology, ITES and Retail.
Delhi has transformed its image from being known only for the political activities and the capital of India. With the growth and development of the region in terms of infrastructure and foreign investment, Delhi is beckoning MNCs who find the city an ideal place to set up their offices.
Also, the growth of National Capital Region (NCR) has helped Delhi to expand its boundaries. Delhi has the infrastructure supporting smooth commuting between Delhi and NCR. Metro service within the city has improved the public transport in Delhi.
Commercial Property in Delhi: Rental prices of commercial property in Delhi range from Rs. 50 to Rs. 150 per square foot calculated on a monthly basis. Purchase price for a commercial property could range somewhere between Rs. 65000 per Square foot and Rs. 150000 per square foot.
Industrial Areas: You will need to pay Rs. 30 to Rs. 70 per square foot per month for possessing an industrial property on rent.
Commercial Areas in New Delhi
Commercial locations in New Delhi have been divided into two broad categories known as Central Business District (CBD) and Secondary Business District (SBD). Regions in and around the Connaught Place in Delhi is called the Central Business District or the CBD whereas SBD refers to Nehru Place in South Delhi.
Connaught Place is known for its historic importance and modern style of shopping. CP is in the heart of Delhi and it is the main business center with offices of banks, government establishments and corporates. Connaught Place has the advantage of being located at the center of Delhi and its proximity to other government offices and banks. However, Connaught Place faces some problems in terms of parking and maintenance of old buildings. With new plans of NDMC, Connaught place is expected to have a complete make over. Among the major companies having presence in Connaught Place include Citibank, ING Vysya, Lufthansa, Reliance, LIC, Air India, TV Today, Standard Chartered, HSBC Bank, Rolls Royce, BNP Paribas, Reuters, etc.
Coming to the Secondary Business District, that is the area in and around Nehru Place, we witness the main Computer hardware market which is the largest in Asia. However, it faces the same problem of increasing traffic congestion and parking woes. Commercial properties in Nehru Place include International Trade Tower, IFCI and GESCO. You can find offices of major Telecom and Pharmaceuticals companies of India. To name a few companies, we have Turner International, Ranbaxy, British Telecom, Chambal Fertilisers, etc.

NATO refugee mission in Aegean Sea makes the EU look desperate
February 23, 2016
On 11 February, NATO became involved in the European refugee crisis when it decided to send its warships to the Aegean Sea to help stop illegal human trafficking. Dr. Hylke Dijkstra argues that this is a surprising and potentially significant move in the refugee crisis which not only makes the EU look disjointed but also desperate.
By Hylke Dijkstra
It is important to first outline the central role that the EU has played in the refugee crisis. The refugee crisis went from bad to worse when many refugees died trying to cross the Mediterranean Sea from Libya in the spring of 2015.
Following two major tragedies in April, the EU started to take action. As part of an effort to fight human traffickers, the European Council has instructed the EU institutions to "undertake systematic efforts to identify, capture and destroy vessels before they are used by traffickers".
This eventually became the EU NAVFOR MED Operation Sophia, which was launched off the coast of Libya in June last year. Amidst legal uncertainties and the absence of a UN Security Council mandate to enter Libyan territorial waters, the operation would consist of three phases. The operation would first gather information about migration networks. It would, secondly, board, search, seize and divert vessels suspected of being used for human smuggling. And in the third phase, it would destroy such vessels before refugees could enter them.
It suffices to say that the international legal mandate never came. That Operation Sophia only started its second phase in October 2015. That its success stories have been of a humanitarian nature. And that, shortly after the launch, it became clear that most migrants preferred the Western Balkans Route via Turkey and Greece. In terms of this Western Balkans Route, the EU has also taken various attempts to tackle human trafficking and the flows of refugees. Most prominently, it has tried to negotiate a deal with Turkey to ensure enforcement on the Turkish side in exchange of financial reward.
The EU has also put Greece under pressure warning to cut it off from the Schengen Area in case it fails to protect its borders. The Commission proposed a European Border and Coast Guard last December, which can intervene if member states do not manage on their own. The mandate of FRONTEX has also been expanded and FRONTEX has repeatedly asked for more border guards. Member states have hardly been forthcoming, perhaps because few actually have serious border forces as a result of Schengen.
Finally, the EU has made various doomed plans to reallocate refugees between member states. Reaching a political agreement proved difficult; implementing the agreement in practice impossible. Given that the EU has been the focal organisation for managing the refugee crisis, including in terms of security arrangements, NATO's recent involvement is surprising to say the least.
First of all, the request for NATO involvement came from Germany and Turkey, two of NATO's normally less than enthusiastic allies. Second, while NATO has considerable naval capacities, managing a refugee crisis is not, in the word's of a NATO official, "really NATO's job". NATO is not a humanitarian organisation and typically tries to stick to limited mandates. Third, the NATO operation in the Aegean Sea has almost exactly the same intelligence mandate as Operation Sophia. High Representative Federica Mogherini was quick to point out that she will consult with Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg on coordination and best practices – but still. Fourth, one wonders what NATO is really going to do. Beyond gathering intelligence about human trafficking networks, sharing it with the Turkish authorities, ferrying refugees back to Turkey, it can add little value.
The whole situation looks desperate. Germany is clearly so fed up with its European partners that it now prefers to act through NATO channels, despite its distinct strategic culture and non-militaristic tradition. Turkey perhaps also finds it easier to deal with NATO, where it sits at the decision table, than to agree to EU demands on a bilateral basis. Turkey was also not going to let an EU military operation, or FRONTEX for that matter, into its territorial waters. Having to talk to EU member states Greece and Cyprus would only make matters worse.
The lack of rapid response in the case of Operation Sophia and the fact that NATO has a standing maritime capacity is another argument in favour of NATO. Furthermore, planning was done within a week. The German-Turkish request came in on Monday and the NATO warships arrived before the weekend was over.
It is too early to tell what the consequences of the NATO involvement are for the refugee crisis. Military and NATO commanders are typically looking for end-states. Furthermore, while American ships are not contributing to the NATO mission, and the US repeatedly makes clear it is a European affair, it does mean that the US now indirectly gets involved. Finally, the fact that civilian custom guards are incapable of doing their jobs now leads to further militarization of the crisis.

Five of our favorite alien movies
Posted by Melissa Locker on
We're showing "District 9" on Sunday at 8/7 c. In the film (not real life, so don't worry) it's been 28 years since the aliens made first contact, but there was never any attack from the skies, nor any profound technological revelation capable of advancing our society. Instead, the aliens were treated as refugees. They were the last of their kind, and in order to accommodate them, the government of South Africa set up a makeshift home in District 9 as politicians and world leaders debated how to handle the situation. As the humans begin to grow wary of the unwelcome intruders, a private company called Multi-National United (MNU) is assigned the task of controlling the aliens. But MNU is less interested in the aliens' welfare than attempting to understand how their weaponry works. Should they manage to make that breakthrough, they will receive tremendous profits to fund their research. Unfortunately, the highly advanced weaponry requires alien DNA in order to be activated. When MNU field operative Wikus van der Merwe (Sharlto Copley) is exposed to biotechnology that causes his DNA to mutate, the tensions between the aliens and the humans intensifies. Wikus is the key to unlocking the alien's technology, and he quickly becomes the most wanted man on the planet. Ostracized and isolated, Wikus retreats to District 9 in a desperate bid to shake his dogged pursuers.
"District 9" offered an interesting twist on an old genre: The alien flick. From "The Day the Earth Stood Still" and "The Blob" to "War of the Worlds" and "Independence Day" the idea that extraterrestrial life is out there and kind of hating on us is a popular topic for Hollywood. And we say: Bring it.
Here are five of our favorite alien movies:
Also: Happy 30th Birthday "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" (released June 1982)
2. "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"
3. "Lifeforce"
4. "The Alien Trilogy"
5. "Starship Troopers"
And here's the trailer of "District 9" watch now and tune in on Sunday at 8/7c:
"District 9" airs on IFC on Sunday, Jun. 3 at 8 PM ET; Monday, Jun. 4 at 12:45 AM ET; Thursday, Jun. 7 at 8 PM ET; and Friday, Jun. 8 at 12:45 AM ET
