Humanity's Child presents an all-female cast of "20-somethings," aka Humanity's Cousins, and one among them, Humanity's Child, representing every "child of humanity, youngest to oldest." And, representing all wise, kind, and compassionate women, The Giver guides and counsels, but does not preach.

The library faculty are flexible and will tailor the instruction sessions to meet the needs of specific courses. Resources include print sources, the web-based Catalog, subscription periodical/reference databases and WWW.
The integration of library instruction with course research assignments serves to make both activities more effective for student learning. The library faculty coordinate, in advance, with the faculty to insure all needed materials and topics are covered in the session. Tools for assessment of the session may include classroom assignments, an exercise created to reinforce the concepts taught in class, a short student and/or faculty questionnaire or any other tool deemed appropriate.

Fall Is a Time of Bread Baking, But Where to Start?
Many of us may still soaking up warm weather and prime [tomato] time at the market, but cooler days are on their way. As the seasons start to change, Food52er Trena Heinrich is gearing up for baking more bread throughout the fall and winter.
She already has a favorite boule bread recipe that she bakes all the time (it's similar to this one, so Trena turned to the Hotline for new bread recipes to incorporate into her baking repertoire.
As usual, the community rose to the occasion with a number of suggestions:
- Nora says, "I am a Southerner married to a Massachusetts Yankee, so I know a bit about the flavors y'all lean toward, so I say anadama bread."
- Susan W suggests 5-Minute Artisan Bread, saying: "I really love the way this bread turned out. I made a rather large loaf to serve with steamed clams and then for the next three days, I just pinched off enough dough to make enough bread for two."
- Cv opens with "Disclaimer: I am not a bread baker (apart from the occasional pizza)," but were that not the case, cv would work on mastering Pain Poilane, unsalted Tuscan breads, pretzels, buttermilk biscuits, and bagels.
- Trampledbygeese's favorite is sourdough, she makes a variation of Nigella Lawson's recipe in Domestic Goddess, leaving out the commercial yeast and letting it rise longer. She adds, "Another great thing about it is that if cooled properly, it stays good on the counter for about two weeks (starting to get stale at about 10 days, moldy sometime after day 14). All it contains is flour, water and salt (plus more flour and water for the starter)."
- Two of Nancy's favorites are James Beard's Refrigerator Potato Bread and Molly Yeh's Rye Challah. (Editor's note: The link from Molly's website to her rye challah recipe isn't currently working; try one of her other challah recipes below.)
Tell us: What bread do you bake to ease into fall? Continue the conversation on the Hotline post or tell us in the comments below!

Sometimes I get moments of perfect clarity. Everything makes sense. All the questions I've been pondering for many years are answered. I know the truth, even if it hurts. And yet sometimes, after having these moments, I ignore the truth.
No, I'm not on drugs. I honestly couldn't tell you what brings these clear moments about. But I had another of them last night.
There isn't a lot of permanence in today's society, or even anything that lasts a decent amount of time. People are constantly picking up and changing jobs, significant others, hobbies, and so on. We are searching for something.
Last night, my friends and I were in church decorating a poster board for the ministry fair. We talked about how the church (our particular parish, not the Church) has been in somewhat of a decline. Around 600 teenagers/young adults are registered members of the parish, but you don't see anywhere near that number at Mass. The amounts we are taking in during the offertory are dangerously low. People are leaving Mass early, and only a few linger in the vestibule to chat afterward.
Everyone seems to disappear.
Why? Because time rushes on and we can't sit still. Why do you need God watching your every move when the government and your mobile devices already do that?
We can't look our friends in the eyes because we feel the compulsive tug to look at our phones and see what people we never see in real life are doing. Then our real-life friends disappear, but we still have them on Facebook, so it's OK.
Holidays become meaningless—just another way for the great big companies to make money and become bigger and greater. What are we really celebrating at Christmas? The birth of a man whose life is increasingly irrelevant to us because we have lost the meaning of sacrifice. The "I" is sacred. If it doesn't work for "me," then it can't work, and I'm going to find something else.
My church is boring, so I'm finding another church. I haven't gotten a promotion, so I'm finding another job. My significant other doesn't make me happy, so I'm going on Tinder and finding another one. You know, I think I might get a new iPhone.
I know I'm being overdramatic. We're not all that vacuous. But I think we are turning in that direction. We are so accustomed to rapid change because nothing inside computer screens stays stable for very long. But with things changing so rapidly, there is no time to really think and ponder what's going on and what the point of everything is. We're just living for the moment, which passes and changes so quickly that we forget what we're truly living for.

Frankie and Johnny
Elvis and Donna Douglas in period
costume in Frankie and Johnny.
In the film, the song has been specially written for riverboat performers Frankie and Johnny, played by Donna Douglas and Elvis. Johnny is a gambler whose bad luck changes when dancer Nellie Bly, played by Nancy Kovack, joins the troupe aboard the riverboat. Each night, the three perform the number "Frankie and Johnny" onstage. As Johnny's interest in Nellie increases, Frankie's jealousy is piqued. One night, someone loads real bullets into Frankie's prop gun, and Johnny is shot during the performance. As luck would have it, Johnny is saved by a charm that he wears around his neck.
Behind the Scenes of Frankie and Johnny
One of the few period pieces Elvis starred in during his
film career, Frankie and Johnny was set during the Victorian Era and made full
use of its colorful costumes and riverboat setting. The reviews were mixed
regarding the film: Some critics felt the setting was a welcome change for a
Presley picture, while others recognized the same old storyline under the
period costumes.
Despite the nay-sayers, the film benefited from the juicy secondary roles played by a seasoned cast of character actors. Harry Morgan, who later gained recognition on the TV series "M*A*S*H," played Cully the piano player. Sue Ane Langdon portrayed Mitzi, the girl who is always edged out in the romance department. It was the type of role that had become Langdon's specialty. Robert Strauss, the burly villain in many crime dramas, played Blackie, the boss's stooge. Directed by Frederick de Cordova, who later became the director of "The Tonight Show," the film is notable for its good production values.

The northbound lanes of Interstate 35 near Schwab Road have been closed because of a triple-fatal wreck caused by a wrong-way driver.
Traffic is being diverted onto the access road. As the morning drive hour has progressed, congestion in the area has grown.
Bob Bailey, a spokesman for the city of Schertz, said a Toyota Camry was traveling south in the northbound lanes about 3 a.m. when it slammed into a Dodge Durango carrying a family of five.
The wreck occurred in front of a rest stop operated by the state of Texas. The driver of a tour bus, a rest stop attendant and an off-duty Houston fire captain went out onto the interstate to try to help the crash victims.
The fire captain returned to his own vehicle to get some rescue equipment. A passing tractor-trailer then slammed into the Camry, killing its driver along with the bus driver and the rest stop attendant.
The members of the family in the Durango were taken to a hospital but are expected to recover.
It's not known how long the lanes of the interstate will be closed.

More Simplicity and Affordable Performance for Data Analytics Applications
The synergies of social, mobile, analytics and cloud technologies are unlocking new value in big data for enterprise and medium-size businesses. This third platform of IT has strong projected growth (7x) up to 2020, and the combinations of these technologies are transforming industries by providing faster time to insight, turbocharging digital commerce and enabling intelligent infrastructure.
NetApp continues to expand its data analytics momentum for technologies such as Splunk solutions, or technologies like Hadoop and NoSQL by introducing new products and solutions that help enterprises and medium-size businesses streamline their IT infrastructure and costs by more than 35%, boost performance by 50% or more and simplify deployments.
A new next-generation E2800 all-flash and hybrid array with SANtricity® Storage Manager, a new modern management interface, and new version of the SANtricity operating system, version 11.30, supporting EF560, E5600 and E2700, is now available. The E2800 delivers even higher performance (3x vs. E2700); the lowest acquisition cost for an all-flash array ($12K average selling price for 5TB); and better results for customers running data analytics and other enterprise applications such as media streaming, backup and video surveillance.
Unlike other storage systems that add file or virtualisation layers in the I/O data path, E2800 systems are purpose-built to optimise performance for mixed workloads. A new next-generation controller that is built on Intel processor technology, along with a 12Gb SAS infrastructure, improves IOPS and throughput to help you extract value from your data and take action more quickly.
The E2800 SANtricity Storage Manager offers an improved user experience with an on-box, web-browser-based interface that is modern, simple and clean. The intuitive interface of the E2800 simplifies configuration and maintenance while providing enterprise-level storage capabilities.
With SANtricity 11.30, we are using analytics to perform automated tuning with our SSD cache. Many areas of the system can be automatically tuned to adapt to ever-changing workloads using analytics data. Customers benefit by having access to far more accurate information about their applications and storage behaviour, leading to more accurate and predictable performance.
We are also announcing a new solution for simplified data lake management and data lifecycle mobility with partner Zaloni. The Zaloni Bedrock Data Lake Management Platform provides end-to-end management and governance of data in the data lake. Its data lifecycle management feature gives organisations the ability to define and execute data lifecycle policies to manage and move data across NetApp® storage tiers.
In addition, there are new validations with MongoDB and Cassandra NoSQL databases. NetApp solutions deliver high performance, resilience and scale for NoSQL databases. Shorter time for rebuilds and consistent performance even during failure make sure of adherence to tight SLAs and customer requirements. The NoSQL databases currently validated are Couchbase, MongoDB and Cassandra. Other NoSQL databases NetApp storage supports include HBase, Redis and MarkLogic.
Updates such as new configurations and pricing for the Arrow preconfigured solutions with E-Series and Splunk are also available. These solutions accelerate Splunk deployments and optimise performance.
Getting value and insights quickly from a range of mixed-workload environments, including data analytics, can differentiate your organisation. The all-flash NetApp E2800, new version of SANtricity software, and other enhancements can turbocharge access to your data and increase its value. Get the affordable performance and simplicity you need to always make the best decisions.

The ladies from the ATL head out for their African adventure and Cynthia is making home videos of her and Nene with no makeup on, why I do not know, but excuse me while I go wash my eyes out with bleach. After a 16-hour flight, they land safely and meet up with their tour guide and of course, Nene and Marlo are lagging behind with their enormous loads of luggage. Apparently, they left their common sense back in the states because they can't figure out the elevator. Phaedra arranged for a penthouse for the night and everyone should have their own bedroom. Marlo starts ranting about how she must have her own bathroom. Phaedra is starting to get pissed off since Tagalong Marlo wasn't even invited, she should be glad she has a place to stay at all. Marlo decides to start asking etiquette questions and giving lessons. The ladies find this hilarious given her criminal past. "I doubt very seriously that Emily Post has a chapter in her book on aggravated assault," said She by Shereé. Nene is taking sheer joy in how annoyed Phaedra and She by Shereé are.
Once in the room, She by Shereé cracks a joke about how hard it will be to divide the group into the two suites, so she suggests that she and Nene share a room. Once Nene realizes she is kidding, they bust out laughing. Hmm…could this be the start of healing their relationship? Marlo is being a full-throttle, pedal to the metal, nitro-burnin' bitch to the concierge by demanding to know the housekeepers' names, schedules, cell numbers, and medical histories. Marlo must think she is Diana Ross or some shit. Definitely a Diva-Don't!
They start the next day with breakfast and Marlo continues her etiquette lessons and acting like she is living the life of the rich and famous. Call Robin Leach out of retirement, Marlo is in Cape Town. Cynthia actually had a good jab at Phaedra when she commented on Phaedra's hot pink robe from Marshall's. Phaedra presents each of the ladies with a gift, except Marlo. Of course, she doesn't have a lovely engraved mirror for Marlo because Phaedra didn't know she was coming. She by Shereé already set up a dinner at her friend Kevin's house and she only invited Phaedra and Kandi. This whole breakfast scene is AWKWARD! The Talls do a duck and move inside and start trashing the Smalls and Cynthia wasn't anticipating shade so early in the morning. For a full definition, see Season 2, Episode 7, "Throwing Shade".
Meanwhile, back at the Barbie Dream House, Kim and Ariana continue to fawn over baby KJ as Kim's parents arrive to make turkey meatballs for them. Joe tells Kim about the heart-to-heart talk he had with Kroy and how happy he is for Kim. Kim seems a bit annoyed by him and Ariana lets the goat out of the barn and tells Kim that Kroy is planning to buy a diamond ring. This is all a bit anti-climactic since we know the two love-birds have already tied the knot.
The Smalls are on a bus waiting for the Talls to go on a boat ride. The Talls finally arrive and the conversation on the bus ride centers around the group being divided. They board the yacht and watch the sunset. Kandi briefly discusses Apartheid with Phaedra. And of course, being her normal drain on society, Marlo starts her etiquette shit again. She discusses how to stand up properly and of course, she can't do it and falls back in her seat. The ladies go down into the cabin and Marlo starts in on Kandi saying she is unfriendly and blew her off at the mall. Cynthia takes the opportunity to start in on Phaedra, but concedes that since the "double-date" all is good in da' hood. Nene follows suit and starts in on Phaedra too, but they are not sure they even have a beef. Phaedra points out that "Hi costs nothing and we should be able to say hi." Somewhere Miss Joyce is stomping her wig wondering why she couldn't get these twisted bitches to say hi to one another. Cynthia gives a last call for issues and Marlo throws Nene and She by Shereé into the ring. Nene talks about how she and Marlo just clicked. Looks like Cynthia is being replaced. Don't worry Cynthia, it won't be long before Nene pulls a bob-n-weave and has Marlo on the ground with her size 42 Loubouton heel thorough her Adam's apple.
The Smalls are preparing to go to dinner at She by Shereé's friend's home. Kandi asks the other smalls what they thought of the boat conversation and Phaedra says it was interesting, but adds that "I ain't no booty licker…I don't like salty butt." Uggh…they all agree that Marlo doesn't know how to shut up. Cynthia invites the Smalls to Nobu with the Talls even though they have plans. She by Shereé decides to make it reeeal wild and invites only Tall Cynthia to Kevin's since she is not joined at Nene's hip. Of course, Cynthia can't leave well enough alone and she rushes back to the Talls and spews it all. Marlo charges back over to the Smalls and goes mug shot crazy on She by Shereé and makes some comments that she really shouldn't have.
The whole thing totally erupts and results in low blow after low blow. Nene jumps in the middle to try and stop it. She is so appalled and questions her own actions and if she looks that ridiculous during her arguments. Yes, Nene, you do. They have surpassed using indoor irrational skank voices. Phaedra compares it to Mayweather vs. Pacquiao and She by Shereé would be Mayweather.
I will quickly recap the argument:
"Fake and phony!"…"I didn't know you were coming!"
"You don't call me, what I gonna do?"…"That's why you don't have a man, go hang with those f**** with your ugly stupid ass!"
"Don't go there honey…80 year old man!"…"Where's your house at? You got two cars no house!"
"You got condo and Astin Martin"…"Bitch paid for cash"
"You were at Onyx with drug dealers"…"You don't know what I got"
"I don't have to f*** to get bags and have old man pay for my house!"
"You returned yours!"…"One Rolex? One Rolex? One Rolex?"
"Your tag on your shirt, honey"… "Shut up Marlo!"
"Aston paid in cash, not repo'd not repo'd!"… "Mercedes paid in cash, not repo'd!"
"Paid in cash by 80 year old married man!"
"Not married, not married, not married!"
"Would you like to meet him so you can come up?"… "Maybe get your house built before you buy a new car."
"You f**** a billionaire and you ain't got a house!"
"I don't have blow-up mattresses, my bed custom made"
"Everybody at Nieman Marcus talks about how you return stuff"
"You got it twisted honey!"
After that it just sounds like 10 pigeons being microwaved. On a scale of one to Phaedra, this fight is an 11. I have to give props to She by Shereé for giving Marlo the bidness. Doesn't Marlo know not to mess with her? Heck…She by Shereé even has a hit single about how tough she is:
We will be back in a couple of weeks for Round 2!

My dear young friend,
Perhaps I misunderstand your meaning, but I gather that the vagaries of the
market place have reduced your fortune somewhat. This seems a bitter thing to
you; perhaps your hope was misplaced. Such things happen often in this world. If
you wish to be truly rich, you must understand true wealth.
Permit me an example. Suppose you set out to purchase a horse. You find a
horse trader. He displays one to you in fine harness, decked with gold and
jewels. He talks on and on about the greatness of this horse. If you are a fool,
you will buy the horse without riding it. What you have really purchased is the
gold in the harness.
The true virtue of the horse is not in the harness. It is in the running. Is
the horse swift? Can it run great distances? If you put it to cart, can it pull
a heavy load? These are the true virtues of the horse. So let us suppose that
your horse has such virtue. Now, further imagine with me that someone comes and
steals the finery from the horse. Are you really any the less in your fortune? I
submit not; you did not buy the horse for a show. You bought it to ride. Your
loss is in the trivial and the gaudy.
But if the horse should turn lame, then your loss is great – even though
the finery be still attached. So then, consider the principle thusly: that which
mars the primary virtue of a thing harms the thing indeed.
So then, if you wish to know that which truly harms a man, you must know the
virtue of man. Is man made for money? Is man made for pleasure? Is man made for
pomp? None of these things! Man is made to serve God and enjoy Him forever. That
which injures his service to God or his enjoyment of God is that which truly
injures a man.
In that light, consider: has not God increased your wealth? By this decline
in your fortune you have begun to question all things. This can but lead you to
the Almighty as the source of all things. He has reduced your purse and
increased your virtue. Only a fool or a scoundrel would have the reverse.
Counting your blessings, I remain,
Isaac the alchemist

What does Tetelestai mean? It means "It is Finished"!
....What is finished?
Those were the last words spoken by Jesus, He said: "It is Finished", all of our sins have been paid in full.
The Tetelestai 33AD leather keychain is a practical way to share the good news of the Gospel with many people. The fun part is that you never have to start the conversation. Just wait until someone asks…"What is Tetelestai?"…Simply answer…it means "It is Finished".They will then ask, "What's finished?"…that's the last words spoken by Jesus on the cross, He said: "It is Finished" all of our sins have been paid in full. (John 19:30)…33AD is on the back of the bracelet, representing the approximate year that He died on the cross.
Many people love the Lord; however, few ever share the Gospel, mainly because they do not know how to start the conversation. This keychain gives you a way to start the conversation.

I intended on boiling the handy dandy boxed noodles but I felt compelled to make the noodles. The last time I did that I just made some simple pasta noodles. When I went to the Googles to find some inspo I saw a technique that I'd never heard of which meant that I obviously have to try it.
Additionally the supermarket only had an insanely large container of ricotta. The Googles said it was easy so I said 'what the hell?"
And it was!
I'm not writing up a lengthy post. I think the pictures are largely self explanatory. I didn't use any precise measurements aside from the manicotti and the ricotta, which I'll link to if anyone feels adventurous.
I winged this meal. I didn't know what was happening until I was basically ready to assemble.
The following are the components:
I cooked up ground chicken thighs. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika and a bit of chopped garlic and shallots.
Chopped spinach (frozen) and chopped artichoke hearts
I used a can of crushed tomatoes. I seasoned it up with the usual suspects and my personal tricks. Season your sauce as you like or use your usual.
Shredded mozzarella.
I mixed the ricotta with the spinach and artichokes. I seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic, parmesan and crushed red pepper.The rest is just assembly. Make sure you place them seam side down. Bake at 350 until nice and bubbly then make sure your cheese gets nice and melty 😍
This was my first time using this crepe-pasta technique. I did an amazing job with the flavors. I think it's more suitable for a light recipe. This is hearty. I think I would have preferred an ordinary noodle. Either way this was amazingly yummy!
Worth every step!

Literature Reviews
The National Taxpayer Advocate is releasing this Volume III of literature reviews as a supplement to her 2016 Annual Report to Congress. These literature reviews contain additional commentary and an extensive listing of articles, reports, and discussions providing a broader context for seven of the Most Serious Problems presented in Volume I. To better understand the problems and burdens currently faced by taxpayers and develop effective remedies, it is helpful to look beyond the customer experience within the IRS.
The National Taxpayer Advocate hopes this resource inspires further informed conversation and research about strengthening taxpayer rights and developing innovative customer-centric tax administration.
As the National Taxpayer Advocate has repeatedly demonstrated, tax administrations in different countries can learn from each other with respect to a wide range of issues. A survey of taxpayer services in other jurisdictions reveals the widespread belief that effective taxpayer service enhances voluntary compliance. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) reports indicate, among other things, that an expanded role of tax administrations, accompanied by reductions in resources, has often resulted in a shift to online services, but with an inadequate understanding of taxpayer preferences. Effective taxpayer service requires multiple service channels. Customer service in non-tax areas of government and in private industry is becoming more digital, but personal contact remains a pillar of service delivery.
In 2014, the IRS adopted the Taxpayer Bill of Rights (TBOR), heralding it as "a cornerstone document to provide the nation's taxpayers with a better understanding of their rights." Prior to the adoption of the TBOR, a TAS survey revealed that taxpayers had little knowledge of their rights — fewer than half of taxpayers believed they have rights before the IRS and only 11 percent said they knew what those rights were. The National Taxpayer Advocate had long called for the IRS to adopt a TBOR as a framework for effective tax administration and for Congress to add the list of fundamental taxpayer rights to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), which Congress did in late 2015.
In order to develop a vision for how the IRS could better implement and apply the TBOR, this Literature Review will analyze other countries' experience with implementing and adhering to taxpayer rights. This discussion will include citizen charters focusing on rights as well as service, and will devote particular attention to taxpayer charters in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The National Taxpayer Advocate has long recommended the IRS conduct behavioral research on ways to improve voluntary tax compliance. The President also recently issued an Executive Order encouraging agencies to apply behavioral science insights to advance policy goals. For example, the IRS could use these insights to improve tax compliance by making it easier, or by making the agency's messages clearer, more relevant, and more likely to resonate with taxpayers. These insights could improve the effectiveness of alternatives to enforcement (called "alternative treatments").
The National Taxpayer Advocate has long emphasized the importance of the IRS maintaining a local presence in both service and compliance operations. By having a local presence in the community, tax agencies are better equipped to improve tax morale by successfully encouraging voluntary compliance, creating a culture of compliance, and influencing prevailing social views in a locale. Voluntary tax compliance relies heavily on taxpayer discretion, integrity, and honesty. There is evidence that improvements in tax morale may be as important to tax compliance as tax enforcement. Local presence offers the advantage of having employees who are completely familiar with the local economy, culture, and social norms. Geographic presence is key to that service provision, creation of the trust culture, and promoting that understanding.
As the IRS incorporates an online account system into its Future State strategy, it is helpful to evaluate the experience of other organizations in private industry and government. This literature review covers various online services offered by foreign tax administrations as well as private industry reports on best practices. While the research shows a clear trend toward moving more services online, there is also a trend to continue to provide multi-channel options. The most pervasive best practice covered in the research is the need for organizations to understand the needs of the customer and let those needs drive the changes, rather than business or budget needs.
Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is the process of resolving a dispute through non-judicial means, typically by placing the case in non-binding mediation or in binding arbitration. These proceedings are generally conducted by neutral parties, such as mediators, administrative law judges (ALJs), or ombudsmen. As will be developed in this literature review, researchers, commentators, and stakeholders have published substantial in-depth analysis regarding the effectiveness and flexibility of ADR in a variety of contexts. Studies in this area demonstrate that efficient ADR can have a beneficial impact on tax compliance and tax administration. Moreover, ADR has been widely embraced by businesses, various federal agencies, and tax authorities of certain foreign countries.
Over the past decade, fraud and identity theft have increasingly plagued consumers, businesses, and financial institutions. The IRS has also been impacted. In order to detect and prevent identity theft and potentially false wages and withholdings, the IRS established a complicated screening process. When a return is flagged by one of the multiple systems that scrutinize returns for characteristics of refund fraud or identity theft, the refund is stopped from being issued until the taxpayer can authenticate his or her identity or until the information on the return can be verified. Some returns flagged by these systems turn out to be false positives.
The National Taxpayer Advocate has consistently advocated for taxpayers whose legitimate refunds have been wrongly selected and unreasonably delayed with IRS Refund Fraud and Identity Theft Programs. This literature review explores the acceptable false positive rates in the public and private sectors and steps that can be taken to reduce false positive rates.

CEP report
Changes in Wage Inequality
Stephen Machin and John Van Reenen
April 2007
Paper No' CEPSP18:
Full Paper
We examine trends in wage inequality in the US and other countries over the past four decades. We show that there has been a secular increase in the 90-50 wage differential in the US and the UK since the late 1970s. By contrast the 50-10 differential rose mainly in the 1980s and flattened or fell in the 1990s and 2000s. We analyze the reasons for these trends and conclude that a version of the skill biased technical change hypothesis combined with institutional changes (the decline in the minimum wage and trade unions) continues to offer the best explanation for the observed patterns of change.

Everyone has read the above conversation between a hypothetical CFO and CEO, and seen the obvious reason for investing in staff skill building. But every once in awhile, I get to watch an organization that chose to save the training dollar and suffer the consequences.
Too many executives want cheap training, and don't focus on results. They are unaffected by their HR and Training leadership when they beg for more accountability in the learning process. That is until the problems start hitting the fan.
Imagine your management team doesn't understand these laws & policies:
- The Americans with Disabilities Act
- The Equal Employment Opportunity Act
- Diversity in the Workplace
- Harassment Free Work Environment
Now imagine that you hire a sharp senior manager to come to work for you and in less than 6 months your employees manage to obliterate these laws and ignore these policies all with the same senior manager. You add fuel to the fire by forcing this senior manager's resignation because you are tired of dealing with their complaints.
√ Enter a full blown EEOC investigation and Lawsuit for personal injuries.
I'm laughing myself silly. The management team is so full of themselves that they operate in full view anyway they want to, with a complacent and incompetent HR Director allowing their behaviors to go unaddressed for at least the past 5 years.
So our hypothetical CEO is about the get their question answered. "What happens if we don't and they stay?"
Cha Ching!

The Washington Redskins' unofficial mascot, Chief Zee, has died.
Chief Zee, born Zema Williams, began attending games dressed in Native American garb in 1978. He was a staple at home games, often leading the crowd in celebration after a score, NBC Washington reports.
The news station notes that Williams died in his sleep and was not in good health, although it is unclear how he died.
In April, word spread that the Redskins' biggest fan was going to be evicted; several fans contributed $5,000 to a GoFundMe page to help Williams stay in his home.

OTTAWA, IL -- B&B Electronics Manufacturing Co., Inc. announced that it is expanding its Zlinx Industrial Wireless product line with the Zlinx Xtreme IP67 Outdoor-Rated Radio Modems and I/O Modules. Featuring license-free, proprietary RF, the products are available in 900 MHz for long-range and 2.4 GHz for short-range wireless communications for serial or sensor data in harsh and remote environments. Users can easily set up wireless connections to serial or Modbus systems to monitor temperature, pressure, level, flow or virtually any other analog or digital I/O, eliminating up to 40 miles of wiring. Mounting directly to panels, poles or machines, Zlinx Xtreme eliminates the cost of cabinets or enclosures.
Zlinx products are based on the award-winning (Best of Sensors Expo 2002) wireless sensor transceiver technology pioneered by Bill Conley, now the lead wireless product design engineer at B&B Electronics. The technology, which connects data loggers, controls or supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) equipment with up to 99% of sensors on the market, was the industry's first to use wireless radio to emulate wired communications.
Zlinx Xtreme Wireless Analog and Digital I/O Modules for Remote Control and Monitoring
The I/O Modules include two analog inputs, two analog outputs, two digital inputs and two relay outputs.
Two configurations are possible:
- Point-to-Point/Peer-to-Peer (P2P): A pair of I/O modules, with analog and digital inputs on one end mapped to corresponding outputs at the other, can replace wires or cables and transmit remote I/O to the controller. The auto-configure feature allows users to quickly map two units without a PC
- Modbus: Connect one or many remote I/O modules to the Zlinx radio modem, which transmits Modbus I/O data into the serial port of a controller such as a PLC, SCADA or HMI. Zlinx Xtreme was designed for easy configuration in the field. Plug-and-play design inside the unit allows users to instantly configure two identical I/O modules with the push of a button. No additional converters are needed and there is never a need to return equipment to the factory for re-configuration.
Other features include selectable I/O: Digital I/O—'PNP/NPN; Analog I/Os—0–5 V, 0–10 V, 0–20 mA, and 4–20 mA. A fail-safe output state resets I/O to a user-defined safe state in the event of communication failure. In Modbus modes, exception reporting can also send trouble alerts to users through any connected devices.
Zlinx Xtreme Serial Radio Modems
The Serial Radio Modems are highly secure, 256-bit AES-encrypted radios that offer superior low-latency response rates (8ms/digital), flexibility and the ease of use needed for wireless monitoring and control. The Xtreme Radio Modem can also play the role of a Modbus gateway when used with its sister Xtreme I/O Modules for P2P or point-to-multi-point/peer-to-multi-peer (P2MP) connectivity. A pair of Radio Modems can serve as wire replacement for RS-232, 422, and 485 serial-to-serial communications.
Ready for Rugged – Outdoors or on the Factory Floor
The IP67-rated Xtreme products are designed and tested to heavy EN61000-6-2 industrial specifications so that they handle the surges and electromagnetic interference common in welding operations, variable frequency drives, huge pumps and other extreme electrical locations. They also operate from –40°C to 74°C, and survived a one-meter-deep water test chamber, and shock, vibration and drop tests.
Don Wiencek, president of B&B, said Xtreme is the company's first truly outdoor-rated product line. The team polled customers worldwide to learn what they needed in industrial wireless products. "It boiled down to ease of use, unimpeachable security, and survivability in really rugged environments," said Wiencek. "Our engineering team spent nine months perfecting Zlinx Xtreme products so customers could quickly deploy them, unprotected, and build a wireless network that functions under the worst conditions."
Pricing & Availability
The Radio Modems are $399 (2.4 GHz short range) and $549 (900 MHz long range). The I/O Modules are $549 (2.4 GHz short range) and $699 (900 MHz long range). All Xtreme products are available now and include a five-year warranty.

Ahh ... Christmas. It's one of the few days out of the year where we get to sit back, relax, and enjoy quality time with our family. Quality time that usually begins at the earliest possible hour because the kids are dying to rush to the tree and get their hands on their presents, but still, quality time. And while most moms will probably agree that the holiday is more about our kids than anyone else, we're just as excited as they are to find something special under the tree on Christmas morning.
But to be honest, plenty of moms are totally over sweaters, jewelry, kitchen gadgets, and the like.
It's a struggle to find the perfect gift for the woman who does so much for the family all year long. But while most moms will appreciate anything they get (seriously, a mom will sob over a literal rock if it's gift-wrapped and presented with love by her 3-year-old), if they're being completely honest sometimes the same old gifts each year get a little boring. Things like sweaters, jewelry, perfume, lotions (so many lotions!), candles, and the latest kitchen gadgets are lovely, but the best gifts don't necessarily come from a store.
More from CafeMom: 5 Homemade Toys That Make Awesome Gifts
So this year put away that credit card and breathe a sigh of relief over avoiding the mob scene known as the mall in December. We've got amazing, non-material gift ideas for mom this year that are guaranteed to make her face light up even brighter than the lights on the Christmas tree.

Spa retreat1
Instead of giving mom a basket of fancy bath and body products, treat her to a day at the spa instead. Present her with a gift certificate that she can redeem for a massage, facial, manicure, pedicure -- whatever her pleasure. Nothing says "I love you" like a day of pampering.
Weekend of solitude2
I received this a couple years back, and to this day, it's the best gift I've ever gotten. My husband and son checked me into a hotel in a quaint seaside town for the weekend. I shopped, slept, read, watched movies, ate, and drank wine. And I didn't have to talk to a soul. It was magical.
Day to be lazy3
Write out a cute little card informing mom that she's going to be given a day off in the near future to do nothing but lay on the couch all day and watch chick flicks. She'll be so thrilled at the thought, she'll weep.
Hall pass4
No, not that kind of hall pass. Make her up a little coupon booklet that gets her out of having to do all the things she normally takes care of on a daily basis. Whether it be laundry, dishes, carpooling, or whatever -- giving mom a break here and there is a wonderful gift.
Cleaning service5
Even if it's only a one-time thing -- hiring someone to deep clean the house from top to bottom is a gift you really can't put a price on.
Something from the heart6
Like a video message from the kids telling mom all the reasons why they love and appreciate her. Or even a sweet, hand-written card will touch her heart in a way no material present can.
A date night7
Pick a date in the near future and get a babysitter lined up. Then make a cute little invitation asking mom to go out for a night on the town -- just the two of you. Trust me, simply taking it upon yourself to get the babysitter is a gift in itself.
Personal chef8
Like the cleaning service, this can even be a one-time deal. Hire someone to come in and take the weight off her shoulders for a night (or more if you can swing it). Oh -- and make sure they do the dishes too!
Time with a friend9
Between work and family, sometimes mom's friendships get put on the back burner. Call up her bestie and set up a lunch date, then surprise her with a card bearing the date and time.
Framed kid art10
Those scribbles are more valuable to her than a Van Gogh. Find one she keeps on the fridge because she loves it so, or make a new creation and frame it so she can cherish it always.
List of the family's favorite recipes11
Make her life so much easier (and make her feel better about her cooking skills) by writing out a list of things everyone in the family is willing to eat. Not only will it help her when cooking dinners each week, but she can also hold everyone to their word. (Meatloaf's on the list -- eat up!)
Family photos12
Hire a professional or invest in a selfie stick, but all moms want more pictures of the entire family. Make it happen and win Christmas for sure.
Breakfast in bed13
Don't knock this classic gift. A handmade card telling mom she can cash in on a warm breakfast without having to leave her comforter will be much appreciated on a cold February morning.
A hug14
If your kids are old enough that they're now too cool to give mom a hug at drop-off, chances are they're less affectionate all around. Moms with clingy toddlers might not believe it, but the time will come when they'll miss the constant snuggles. A great big hug from a big kid is an awesome gift.

The two words 'wild camping' can strike fear into the heart of even the most willing adventurer. Where do I go? What do I take? Is it even legal?? To help answer these questions, women's outdoor brand Lily Wild recently organised a wild camping Q&A evening. On a panel made up of me and fellow wild camp keen beans Laura Kennington and Helen Proudfoot, Lily Wild founder Adelaide Goodeve guided the audience through a series of burning questions pitched in by the general public, and later gave them the opportunity to ask some of their own. Although the event was aimed at and attended mostly by women, all of the questions are applicable to both genders.
Below is a full account of the chitter chatter on the night. You can read the whole shebang through from start to finish (recommended), or just click on which question(s) interest you in the list below. You'll then be whisked down the page as if atop a magic wild camping carpet, to the relevant section.
- How did you start wild camping?
- What advice and tips can you give to use first timers to help us have a safe, fun and successful wild camping adventure?

- What are the top three things to look for in a camping spot, under pressure and in the dark?
- Do you have any thoughts on the legalities of wild camping?
- What are the lessons you've learnt from wild camping, and is there anything you wouldn't do again?
- How do you choose where to go? How do you even start to plan an adventure?
- Do you wait until nightfall to set up, or do you just do it whenever?
- Do you have any good tips on keeping warm?

READ THE FULL PANEL INTERVIEW (25 minute read)
Adelaide: So over there is Anna, she's an adventurer, speaker and mischief maker, and last year she ran the length of New Zealand.
In the middle we have Laura. Laura is an adventure athlete and a firm believer in living life to the full. In following your passion and redefining your limits. Recently she swam, cycled and kayaked around the channel islands in an extreme version of a triathlon.
And here we have Helen. Helen has gone from her first tentative campouts to now bivvying solo across the country, pedalling on her bike, camping whatever the weather. This October Helen will be cycling and bivvying across the world as she cycles to New Zealand.
Adelaide: First question… How did you start wild camping?
*silence as the panel girls look at one another*
Anna: Ooooh who wants to go first? Do you know what this feels like? (turns to the audience) Who used to watch Take That interviews? I always used to watch their interviews and wonder how on earth they worked out who went first in the group. This feels like that… shall I start? Okay, I'll be Mark…. (laughter)
I first started wild camping when I had no choice. I went on this trip to cycle through every state of America, but I left having never camped on my own before. And I was absolutely petrified, because everyone said to me 'you're going to get shot in the desert, you're going to get raped… and in Yellowstone National park they'd even spray painted on the road 'Grizzlies eat people.' (laughter) Which I thought was really helpful… so I started by accident because I had to. But I do remember what it was like the first few times. My friend had even offered to practise with me in the UK. She said: 'do you want to go to Dartmoor and we can camp 200 metres apart, alone, to practice?' I was too scared to even do that. So in the end I just got on a plane to the US and started.
Laura: Quite similar to Anna actually… While I had camped quite a lot in the UK with friends, the first time I actually did it by myself was in Russia, when I decided to kayak the Volga river. And as wild camping goes that was quite a tough start… because when you don't speak the language sometimes excited Russians can sound like aggressive Russians! (laughter) I remember my first night, everyone had left, including the girl that'd dropped me off. And there was this angry Russian outside my tent. Well… he wasn't angry, he was actually really nice and just trying to offer me some firewood…. (laughter)
Helen: I started wild camping with a group called the YesTribe. My first time camping on my own was when I decided to go cycling in December. So it was just me and my bivvy bag, on the edge of a field somewhere in Somerset…. I managed to get some sleep! (laughter) (Back to the questions)
Adelaide: All very cool! So one question that came in was: "As a woman who's never been wild camping before, but loves the outdoors and new adventures, what advice and tips can you give to us first timers? To help us have a safe, fun and successful wild camping adventure?"
Laura: I would say that like anything the more you do it, the more comfortable you get with it. So if you're wondering about where to start… I started by doing it with friends over here (in the UK) and then I jumped in at the deep end. Helen obviously started doing it locally too, which is great. And it does help if you do it somewhere you can speak the language! So I would just say start. Just start. Start where you are. Camp with your friends, camp in your garden even, just do something that allows your confidence to build.
Helen: Yeaah, I'd always just say use your common sense. If you go out somewhere and feel uncomfortable where you are, go somewhere else. At the end of the day, I've wild camped a lot in Britain, and unless you get run down by a hoard of cows you're pretty much not going to get disturbed. So just avoid cows and you'll be fine (laughter).
Anna: I think it's like any fear, the fear of the fear is ten times worse than the reality. and when you get there and you do it… the first time is a bit weird, I mean your imagination does go nuts and that's why it's quite nice to do it with someone else, so you're busy chatting away, about Love Island or something, then before you know it you've nodded off to sleep. I don't know about anyone else, but I get quite nervous if I feel like someone's nearby, and so at first I'd struggle to sleep because of all of these 'what if's' running through my brain. And it did actually happen on a wild camp in Essex. Someone found us, and disturbed us. And the treacherous situation, the thing I'd been fearing all that time went like this: There were these two guys, one had a torch and spotted us.
Man 1: "Wassat over there?"
Man 2: "People sleeping."
Man 1: "Oh."
And they walked off (laughter). That was it, the pinnacle and ultimate moment of my fears. They don't care! No one cares! And like Laura says, just start where you can. Camp in your garden, that's great, because when you wake up there's mince pies and cups of tea on tap. I've camped in my garden loads of times. (back to the questions)
Adelaide:Do you have any advice specifically for people who want to camp solo for the first time?
Laura: I think there's always going to be that first time you have to do it by yourself. And regardless of when it is, your brain will imagine the worst at first anyway, so you might as well get on with it. Take the initial leap wherever you feel comfortable. I mean, when I was in Russia, that first week, there was always a mass murderer outside my tent, and the reality was the noise was always a mouse..
Anna: It could have been Danger Mouse though Laura? (laughter)
Laura: That it could. That would have been worse than a murderer. (laughter)
Anna:… Or you could put some music on? If you can't sleep… A bit of Eva Cassidy always chills me out if my brain starts to go a bit nuts. So on one of my wild camps I just put some music in and drift off to sleep.(back to the questions)
Audience member: Sorry… when you talk about wild camping… can you actually just say what wild camping is?! Is it in a bivvy, or tent?
Laura: Oh sorry! Yes just anywhere that's not a paid or official campsite. That's wild camping.
Anna: Yep in a tent, or bivvy. I think we've all done it in both.
Helen: I usually bivvy just because it's quicker and easier.
Anna: And it's fine if you don't like bivvying. I've got a friend who refuses to bivvy. She turns up with her tent, duvet and pillows on the back of her bike to a wild camp spot. Because that's the way she rolls and she just prefers a tent. I actually like the bivvy bag because I feel safer, and I can see everything, and I like that feeling of a cool breeze across your nose. I also like that when you open your eyes it's not your own sweat dripping off the tent roof onto you, but instead a sky full of stars. (back to the questions)
Anna Asks the audience: What's your feeling on the differences between bivvying and camping?
Audience member: When I'm wild camping I prefer bivvying. I like to be hidden and I still don't like being found. And I find it quite reassuring. Because the bivvy is so discreet. You're just lying in the woods and no one will see you. But if I'm in a campground, then I definitely use a tent for the space.
Audience member: I think that the first few times you wild camp, you feel really big – like everyone can see you! Like the whole world is watching! Then after you do it a couple of times, you realise that you're indistinguishable from anything else in the field. I remember the first time I did it was in a fied full of sheep, and they just didn't shut up! (laughter). You do realise that you're actually quite small. People aren't going out there looking for you, and if they are then they've probably got bigger problems than you do!! (laughter). I think if you just keep perspective on what is really going on out there, and you change your mindset then it becomes much easier.
Anna: Yeah I agree. For me it's always that difference between between what is the perceived risk and what is the actual risk. And so much of what we don't do is based on perceived risk, or other people's fears.
Audience member: I've also used a hammock tent (audience 'ooooohhhs'!). Which is really discreet because it's tree coloured. I had an experience where there was no option but to use it. I put it up right next to the trail, between trees and the fence and I felt really weird. There were all these dog walkers passing by and I could see them right there, but it taught me that no one is looking even 2ft into the woods to see you. (back to the questions)
Adelaide: What's been your best wild camping experience?
Laura: I'll go for Ireland. It was my first foray into wild camping after I'd just come back from an expedition that didn't go so well in Russia. And so all the fears that were there first time I was out were rampant again. And I was sat there thinking 'I need to get over this fear'. And I was petrified, being totally irrational, more than I ever was before. And a guy came over to my tent. And I thought 'I knew it! I knew this was a bad idea!' and actually he was just offering me some burgers! They were in a camper van up the road, and had seen my lone tent, and come to say hello. So I spent the night chatting with them and hanging out with the whole family. It was special, because it was overcoming the fear again.
Anna: My Favourite experience was we did this little 'experience' where I decided to spend 6 consecutive Wednesday nights sleeping out on hilltops in each of the counties surrounding London. It started with just four of us, four weirdos sleeping in bushes to be precise, and it grew to over 150 people. We kept going for 25 consecutive weeks around London. It was mental!
We culminated it right at the end with a campout in London itself. 40 of us met at a out in the West End, and because we couldn't sleep 40 of us in one place, I mean it's not like a Guide camp or anything, we split up into little groups of 4 or 5. We had 'Team Campstead Heath', Team Ali Pally, Primrose hill and Richmond Park…. and everyone was on social media sharing what was going on. Team Campstead heath had a whole mobile wine shop up there! And Team Ally Pally (which I was in), well were just getting really annoyed because there was some 16 olds shagging in the bushes and throwing up nearby! (laughter) We were all like: "It's Wednesday night! We're trying to go to sleep. Easy on the vomiting kids! Don't you have school in the morning?!" (laughter)
So that for me was just an amazing experience, because we were wild camping in places that you would never think to camp. It was all really exciting and made even better by the fact that we should share in others experiences too via social media. The next morning was ace, everyone shared their pictures of the sunrise in their location… it was just brilliant.
Helen: Mine was on Wimbledon common. We were doing a Project Awesome session at 6.30am on Monday morning, and it was the day after the Wimbledon Sunday finals… So five of us decided to camp out the night before the session. We found this tree with the most elaborate branch system, it created a little woodland cave. So we just snuggled under there for the night and it was lovely. (back to the questions)
Audience member: Have you got any more big adventures planned?
Anna: I'm going to the Andes for 6 months from October, and I am crapping my pants!! I really am. I hear there's not much water in the desert. So that'll be loads of wild camping, and I've got a friend with me this time. But I'm still nervous! Don't get me wrong it's not so much about the camping specifically, but you always get those adventure nerves, you think "What am I doing?! Why don't I just stay at home and drink tea and eat biscuits… like normal people?!". But I'm really excited. And Helen, I know you've got a massive trip planned…
Helen: In October I'm setting off to cycle to New Zealand! So there's going to be a fair bit of wild camping in that! (back to the questions)
Adelaide: What are the top three things to look for in a camping spot, under pressure and in the dark?
Laura: As secluded as possible, away from a main road, anywhere you could be spotted easily. And not at the bottom of a hill, in case it starts raining and you wake up covered in slush.
Helen: It's good to get an OS map of the area, because they show you where the footpaths are and you can see where there's a country park, or lots of fields or woods – although sometimes woods are fenced off. I like, if I can, to try and find the top of a hill. With a view out east and then you can catch the sunrise.
Anna: Yeah I think it's just the basics… somewhere sheltered, in case it's really windy, somewhere flat, because otherwise you end up at th bottom of your sleeping bag… and then if you're getting really serious and on a long trip, I always look for somewhere near a water source. It's nice not to have to trek too far to get your water… so long as you're not then peeing in your water source of course. (laughter) (back to the questions)
Adelaide: Do you have any thoughts on the legalities of wild camping?
*silence and a few awkward giggles*
Laura: I mean, yes, it's illegal. It's totally illegal, but my thoughts on this are be respectful, clear up after yourself, if you don't leave any damage and you're respectful of your environment, and you don't take the piss and make a big fire and have naked parties around it or whatever, then there's no harm really done. When you leave no trace.
Anna: Yep, I agree. I don't ever feel guilty really. And if it does get really desperate then you can always knock on a door and ask for permission. Although then you normally end up indoors, watching the Italian job, eating beef stew… (laughter) which sort of defeats the purpose of wild camping! But I just think you're out there enjoying the natural environment, if someones got a problem with it, then fair enough, if it's their land, but really we're not causing any harm.
There is one thing I'd be careful about with National Trust land and that's that they do fine trespassers on their land. The likelihood is slim, but I try to avoid National Trust land where possible, just in case.
Helen: I was once camping in this park, and I woke up in the morning and someone said that the place was going to get quite busy soon so it might be better to move on, but they didn't have a problem with us being there, they were just looking out for us I guess. I've been woken up by loads of dog walkers, but they either just completely ignore us or they say hello and have a chat about what you're doing.
Laura: Yeah I find the same. If anyone has come across me the morning, they're mostly just curious.
Anna: I do try to go completely hidden if I can though. I sometimes just like a lie in too, so it can be 9am before I wake up! So I like to know not to be distend.
Helen: Yeah and obviously it is legal to wild camp in some places, like Dartmoor or Scotland. I even asked the National Park authorities in the Lake District, and they said as long as you're in wild areas and not leaving a trace, then they're fine with it.
Adeleide: What are the lessons you've learnt from wild camping, and is there anything you wouldn't do again?
Laura: I probably wouldn't camp on a beach again, I mean, it sounds really romantic and wonderful, but sand just gets absolutely everywhere! There's no shade, so I just woke up in my tent, stuck to the sides with mosquitos buzzing around me.
Anna: I camped once near stingy nettles, and I didn't know they were there because I pitched up in the dark, so when I went for a wee at 3am I squatted down and got stung everywhere! Other than that, in New Zealand there's this type of tree that's a really tall California Pine. They're really bendy. It was a really windy night, and I thought I'd camp in the forest because there were loads of soft pine needles on the floor, which is camper's heaven, like a spongey bed. I woke up in the morning and I was just taking a video and messing around and then I heard this massive craaaaack! the tree next to me split in half and went 'Booooof!' as it hit the floor right next to my tent! I thought 'oh man! This was a silly idea!' So I think I'd be more careful about camping under certain trees in the wind.
Helen: I probably spend too much time camping next to footpaths. Because sometimes you have to go quite a long way to find a spot, and I'm tired. So yeah… I'l probably try and stay a bit away from them in future. (back to the questions)
Audience member: How do you choose where to go? How do you even start to plan an adventure??
Anna: I love a reason to go somewhere. Like sleeping out in the counties out around London. If you google things like 'most romantic spot in…' or 'best views in…' then that brings up some good stuff. Or there's there's this website called slope hunter. It's for people who launch planes off slopes! (laughter). I know! But I'm so grateful to these people because they've written about where the best slopes are around the UK. And they've included how to get there, which is important because more than 3 miles from a train station if you're on foot just gets a bit of a schleck. And then when I'm deciding where I actually camp, I just do it by feel.
Laura: Yeah I would say that mine is about looking for opportunities. Like if I'm going to a wedding… I haven't been out for a while, I get a bit chlostrphobic. There were a group of us that hadn't seen one another for a year, so we just out a date in the diary and found a place that was equidistant from our homes.
Helen: Yeah… I have a habit of spending too much time looking at maps. So I've done a few cycling adventures based on place names. I've cycled from Ham in Dorset to Sandwich in Kent (laughter). I went via cheese lane, and I went via Rye to get some bread… (more laughter). And I ate a ham sandwich at both ends. I've also cycle from Somerset to cumbria, via four places named Wellington, and one named Boot. (laughter).
Anna: Were you wearing Wellington's the whole way?!
Helen: I was for the last section. And I had the map drawn on my boot so I could explain it to people I met. And another one, I cycled from 'sauce to sauce'. So I cycled from The Lea and Perrin's factory in Worcestershire to the houses of parliament, for HP sauce.
Anna: I also do it if I need to stay somewhere, but it's going to be getting in late and getting up early. If there's anywhere Green and I can save myself the cost of a hotel room for the night, I'll do it.
Laura: Yeah that's probably the one I do most too! (back to the questions)
Audience member: Do you wait until nightfall to set up, or do you just do it whenever?
Laura: I normally what until it's dark to go to the spot, but if I know the area's really quiet I'll just sit in the spot for a bit, and set up when it gets a bit dark.
Anna: There was this one night in New Zealand, where I found a spot in the woods, but I was determined to wait until it got darker. So I sat watching the road from the woods for 10 minutes, I watched it like a hawk! Then I realised no one was watching me… and I really wanted some noodles, so I thought 'stuff it' and set up then! I think it depends how well people can see me.
Helen: Unless it's a full moon. When its a full moon you lie there thinking: 'why can't someone just turn the flood lights off?' It's crazy! (back to the questions)
Audience member: I have a practical question about keeping warm. Do you have any good tips on keeping warm?
Anna: I really love my Merino longsleeve. Then if it's really cold, it's normally my back that gets cold first so I wear a down jacket, one with sleeves or a body warmer without. That and a hat! That makes such a difference.
Laura: Also fleece trousers. I discovered them when I was sailing, you can get them really cheap from Decathlon. They just feel like getting into pyjamas. And a cheap down jacket. And yeah, Merino is amazing too. Also a silk liner for your sleeping bag. All these little things make quite a big difference.
Helen: I just have a massive sleeping bag! It's heavy to carry but it works.
Adelaide: I've just bought an all season NeoAir extra therm. Because I thought I'd splurge on my sleeping mat. I've had the most rubbish sleeping mat for so long, and then it broke, and I thought "YES!"
Anna: Did break with a pair of scissors in your hand? (laughter)
Adelaide: Don't tell everyone! And it rolls up to the size of a water bottle. And when you lie on it it feels like a lilo. Some pole don't like it, but I used it when I was in the Himalayas and I'm always normally so cold. And this is just air… but I could actually feel the heat coming through me. It's something to do with the way the way the air moves around it.
Audience member: Yeah I heard it's always a good idea to to double down when you can. So a down jacket inside a sleeping bag… that really works. And I normally get super cold around my torso, and on my knees. So I always put down around my knees too! And if I have a gap at the bottom of the sleeping bag, I fill it with clothes.
Anna: Oooh and sailing leggings are also really good. I discovered them in New Zealand. They're made from Polypropylene and they're warm even when wet. And they dry really quickly. You can get them from sailing stores. They're about £20… not the most attractive thing, they have this weird crotch seam and I wondered whether I in fact needed a penis to buy them? (laughter) but they're awesome. (back to the questions)
Audience member: If you had to pick one piece of kit to spend your money on, what would it be?
Laura: I think you can get away with a cheaper bivvy bag, you might get a bit of condensation on the cheaper ones, but that's okay. You do notice the difference on a cheap sleeping mat though… I've got the NeoAir thermarest, and it makes all the difference. And a sleeping bag too, that makes a massive difference, and worth it not to be frozen solid and to enjoy it.
Anna: I'd always go for a good hat. That keeps in so much warmth and is like being tucked in for the night. It's the one thing I couldn't go without.
Helen: Yeah I'd say a really good sleeping bag. (back to the questions)
Audience member: On longer adventures, how do you about planning for food or water, and how much to take?
Laura: I use Google maps. Especially if it's a route that doesn't follow a trail. You can find out an awful lot by looking at what towns are nearby. And I always carry a bit extra, like if I'm kayaking. You never know when you're going to get held up. If there's bad weather, so I'm always thinking about how many miles I'm going to covering a day.
Anna: The more adventures I do, the less I plan. I think there's a balance to be struck between being naive and planning. You're not going to use 90% of what you plan anyway. And if you're too naive you can end up in a sticky situation, so if it's a long trip, I always just plan a week ahead. I can't cope with more than that!
Laura: Yeah I'd agree. Do just about enough to know you're safe, but don't stress.
Anna: And I always have 1.5 litres of water spare if it's long trip, just in case. (back to the questions)
Richard from Moju: What do you do about insects? The mozzies? They go after me like nobody's business!
Laura: I have a buff. For those that don't they're a fabric scarf. There's one with insect repellant in it, and especially because I do a lot of journeys by rivers, I find it quite helpful.
Hugo: Are you worried about using Deet then?
Laura: Well lots of my trips are a few months long, and I don't really want to be dousing myself with Deet all that time. I know there's natural alternatives too, like mint. But the fabrics that have it woven in are useful.
Helen: You can get bivvy bags with netting over the top too. I just grin and bear it really.
Laura: Earplugs are good as well too, so you don't hear the flys and wasps all night. (back to the questions)
Audience member: What are the most extreme weather conditions you've ever camped out in?
Anna: I don't think I've ever been too extreme… mine was minus 7 degrees, but it was only on the South Downs Way. And I was fine, but my poor friend… I kept having to wake her up and check on her, because I thought she was seriously going to get hypothermia. I could hear her shivering all night. The worst thing was that when I got out in the morning and my cycling shoes were frozen solid, as was the Toffee Crisp we'd brought for breakfast. Nightmare. (laughter)
Laura: I don't think mine was much worse than that temperature either.
Helen: I think mine was probably just waking up in a puddle! My bivvy bag is totally waterproof so I just woke up, realised it had been raining all night, but thought 'Oh, I'm fine!'
Anna: Yeah that's another thing. I think people get out off by bivvying in the rain, but so long as your bag is waterproof, you just pull it over your head and go back to sleep.
Helen: Yeah I just sleep on my side and poke my face out a little bit. So I get a wet nose… a bit like a dog (laughter) (back to the questions)
Audience member: I have a practical question. I get lost all the time and I run out of data and battery on my phone. What do you use to… not be lost?!
Laura: I use this big grey thing here. *Lifts up a battery pack* It's a battery bank that I got from maplin. I've got solar chargers and stuff but this is great. It'll last me about a week. It's not super light, but it does the trick.
Anna: Yeah I've got a little one called a pebble explorer. That was £40 and is really small, so I just always have it in my bag. And I always put my phone on airplane mode, and use my GPS to save battery.
Helen: I just always go to a pub in the evening and charge up!
Anna: There's also an app called View Ranger. You download it on your iPhone and it gives you free standard maps, but then you can also download OS maps over the top. It costs fiver for 300 tiles worth. If I'm ever anywhere new and looking for trails or somewhere to go wild camping – that app really helps to find cool spots. Where the forest areas are, and all the footpaths and bridleways. And it's so cheap – you only download the tiles you need. My tiles are still going strong after 1/2 a year!! (back to the questions)
Audience member: What home comforts do you take with you?
Anna: I love my Thermarest pillow! Unfortunately it's the first thing that gets thrown out if I'm short on space. But it's lovely. There's a massive difference between putting your head on a crunchy backpack, and on a nice soft pillow. That's my luxury. And chocolate.
Helen: A waterproof bag to keep all my clothes in!
Laura: Something to make a nice cup of tea in the morning! (back to the questions)
Audience member: What do you do to get clean water??
Laura: I've got a Water-to-go bottle. I've drunk river Thames water from that and had no problems.
Anna: I never treated any water in New Zealand, because most of it is fresh and glacial. But I do always carry iodine tablets, just in case. (back to the questions)
And that's a wrap. Thanks for reading, I hope this has helped you

Yay! After months away from the show while actor David Neilson starred in a stage play, Roy Cropper returns to Coronation Street this week.
On screen, Roy's absence has been explained with him away in Hastings looking after his poorly mum Sylvia.
However, his return is set to cause a bit of drama when he finds out that Cathy has let Alex move into the flat above the caff.
I've missed Roy a lot and will be glad to see him back.

How Sweet It Is Sweet Potato Lasagne
Category: Main Dishes | Blog URL: http://experimentalculinarypursuits.wordpress.com/2009/11/03/how-sweet-it-is-sweet-potato-lasagne/

5 Stars for sure Shelly! Love it!

I live in Spain where it's impossible to get Monterey Jack or Cheddar Cheese. What other cheeses would you suggest I use?
Can't wait to try this dish.
March 13, 2012
I haven't tried this yet. Sounds yummy. The only thing that troubles me is the 2 cups of olive oil. Is that correct? Does it make The lasagna all dripping with oil when it comes out of the oven?
Trying to watch my fat content because I have gastroparesis.
When I was a child, I loved to listen to my grandmother tell me magical stories of historical Taiwan. As she cooked my favorite breakfast meal – sweet potato congee - she would recall the days during the Japanese Occupation, when food was scarce and they had to survive on a diet of sweet potatoes and rice. Though times were tough, the picture she conjured was full of warmth, families roasting these orange wonders by the bonfire while children ran around chasing fireflies. While the sweet potato congee simmered, she would make the little side dishes to complete that heavenly breakfast – sauteed spinach with black mushrooms, asian eggplant with basil, and egg omelette with soy sauce, brown sugar, and pickled radish.
With the craziness of work and life, I haven't been able to see my grandparents in almost 2 years and I miss them dearly. So I made this sweet potato dish in my moment of nostalgia, taking inspiration from all the yummy Taiwanese dishes that nourished my little tummy, but putting a westernized spin by layering it into a sweet potato lasagne, and infusing with culturally diverse flavors.
The eggplant was marinated in a blend of olive oil and Italian herbs, the spinach and portabello mushrooms tossed with heavy cream and Mexican cheeses, and the sweet potatoes dipped in dry curry powder. You may think with the mish-mosh of herbs and flavors that it's a crazy dish, but trust me, it works perfectly! The result is a burst of complementary flavors that tastes as familiar as my grandma's love, but with an exotic twist that ventures into a new territories. I just wish I could cook this for her someday soon!
